Fed NDP leader set to announce he’ll run in Burnaby
Outgoing MP Kennedy Stewart has submitted his resignation Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is scheduled to be in Burnaby today and expected to announce his intention to run in the Burnaby South riding to replace outgoing MP Kennedy Stewart, a source close to Singh’s campaign has confirmed. Vancouver mayoral candidate Kennedy Stewart told the NOW he submitted his resignation to Parliament Aug. 1. It will come into effect Sept. 14, the last day candidates can be nominated for the 2018 municipal elections. Stewart’s departure could trigger a byelection. His resignation has not yet been officially accepted, and the federal government may not decide to call for a byelection before the 2019 federal election. Singh was elected leader of the federal NDP last year but does not have a seat in Parliament. Stewart said last week he didn’t have all the details on today’s announcement, but that it could be a bigger event than Singh’s previous Burnaby visit. “I do know he had a really, really warm reception when he visited a couple of weeks ago, and he’s been talking to a lot of people in the community,” he told the NOW. “I think a lot of people, including myself, would like to see him run in a byelection. So we’ll see what he’s got to say on the 8th.” Singh will be making an announcement at noon outside a film studio at 5784 Byrne Rd.

Man’s quest to change law succeeds Chris Campbell
ccampbell@burnabynow.com
For more than a decade, Burnaby’s George Sojka has been trying to honour the memory of his dead sister by petitioning the government to change the law when it comes to obtaining a warrant to get a blood sample. He finally got his wish. But it wasn’t easy. Sojka needed the help of outgoing Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart to get the law changed, and it took more than 10 years and involved petitioning two different federal governments. On June 21, Helen’s Law – added as part of the larger Bill C-46 – received royal assent, extending the timeframe to obtain a warrant to get a blood sample from four to eight hours.
Sojka was relieved that the sible because the warrant to obchanges were finally passed. tain a blood sample was faulty.

amendments related to impaired driving. (Bill C-46 will also allow police to take a roadside breath sample without evidence that the driver is under the influence.) “I took on this long, drawn-out and challenging mission inspired by (former federal NDP Leader) Jack Layton’s words as spoken in his final speech, ‘Don’t let them tell you that it can’t be done,’” Sojka said. Sojka gave heartfelt credit to Stewart, who has resigned as an MP to run for mayor of Vancouver, and his constituency staff for pushing for the change. “Without you all,” Sojka wrote, “my road to this finish line may have taken much longer if not been impossible to achieve.Thank you Mr. Stewart for having a vision of what was to be done.” -With files fromTerezaVerenca

wild salmon program, said the report does not contain new data or research. It is a repackaging of submissions Raincoast made to the National Energy Board in 2015, in a process that eventually approved the twinning of the pipeline that will nearly triple its capacity, if completed. That expansion would also mean a sevenfold increase of tankers leaving Trans Mountain’s Westridge terminal on the Burrard Inlet. “It was a technical report and we felt that more people really needed to know about the risk to salmon because salmon is such an important group of fish ecologically, economically [and] culturally,” she said. The report, with an executive summary written in layman’s terms, is an attempt to broaden understanding of the threat to salmon posed by a potential oil spill, MacDuffee said. “We need to make our findings public,” she said. “Everybody else needs to know why we are so concerned about these things.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW
SOGI materials are about being inclusive
You would think a plan to make our public schools more inclusive and accepting of all people would be something that isn’t controversial. You would be wrong. The SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) education materials introduced by the B.C. Ministry of Education aim to make our public schools a safer place because, according to the provincial government, a whopping 64 per cent of LGTBQ+ students feel unsafe at school. According to the SOGI
123 website, it is less of a curriculum and more of a policy and set of resources, which includes SOGI-inclusive lesson plans meant to make schools inclusive and safe for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities. It includes a school code of conduct and information about how to make environments safe and inclusive, and curriculum resources that can be used in lesson plans to further the goals of the overarching policy. Sounds sensible. After all, who wouldn’t support mak-
ing schools a safer place for LGTBQ+ students by trying to tackle homophobia and transphobia? Well, there are some people. Instead of embracing SOGI, which is basically a set of positive goals and resources, some are actually organizing against it. One group, called Culture Guard, described SOGI as a way to “indoctrinate” kids into some sort of sexual deviancy. Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld bizarrely said that allowing children to choose their gender was
“child abuse.” Right here in our own community, a series of antiSOGI events are coming to churches near you. Canadian Council for Faith and FamilyValues, a NewWestminsterand Burnaby-based faith group, has hosted at least three “STOP SOGI 123” events in the Lower Mainland since mid-July. Four meetings are scheduled in NewWest churches over the next two months, and other churches in Burnaby have also expressed interest, according to an event organiz-
er (See the story on page 9). The group says SOGI 123 is a threat to children, parental rights and traditional and Christian values. Imagine thinking that promoting an end to homophobia and transphobia is some sort of threat. It’s 2018, and inclusivity is where our society should be headed. People next door to our community agreed enough with this to stage a counter-protest – or “love rally” – last Thursday when an anti-SOGI event was hosted by a NewWestminster church.
NewWest residents Louise Cournoyer and her son Will attended the rally. Louise said she supports the LGBTQ community and SOGI because she wants children to feel accepted. “It’s so important to protect children who are members of the LGBTQ community and include them, for them to have a voice in the school system,” she said. “By implementing SOGI, changing the way we talk about gender, about sexual orientation, it’s extremely important.” We couldn’t agree more.

Horgan beating the NDP curse As the BC NDP glides into its second year of government, it’s worth noting the party has managed to avoid internal disunity and dissension. Credit Premier John Horgan, who has displayed strong leadership.The caucus is clearly supportive, something that has not always been the case when it comes to NDP leaders. Not only has the party matured, but it’s left behind some internal baggage. For example, I remember being asked to attend a retirement dinner for thenAttorney General Colin Gabelmann in 1996. When we politely inquired why such NDP luminaries as Moe Sihota and Glen Clark were not in attendance, we were told that any supporters of former leader Dave Barrett were not welcome. Only those who supported Tom Berger in the 1969 leadership race against Barrett had been invited, even though that contest had been almost 30 years earlier. Talk about long-standing grudges. But those days of bitter rivalries seem to be distant now when you examine the current NDP caucus. For one thing, it’s a fairly young group. Horgan is the eighth NDP leader I have dealt with in my time covering B.C. politics. Five of his predecessors faced serious challenges from caucus members. Bob Skelly was almost deposed by a caucus coup just months before the 1986
election. Mike Harcourt was never really accepted as leader by a number of members of his own cabinet (let alone the caucus) and that lack of support was why no one tried to talk him out of resigning over the Bingogate scandal. Glen Clark was facing mounting caucus criticism even before the whole Casinogate affair began to unravel, ultimately forcing him to resign. His eventual successor, Ujjal Dosanjh, won a divisive leadership race and he remains someone many New Democrats dislike. Then there was the dramatic takedown of Carole James as leader, a bruising public spectacle that has left scars that are only now beginning to heal. But it is hard to envision Horgan facing these kinds of internal challenges. His strong election campaign showing is the major reason the party is in power, and there are absolutely no signs of internal grumbling. To be sure, Horgan has to walk a political tightrope on a number of issues (the Kinder Morgan pipeline, LNG, Site C dam, resource development in general, climate action, ridesharing etc.) that can easily divide his party and his caucus if not handled with care. But one year in and things are looking good on the unity front. For a party with a long history of feasting on its leaders, that bodes well for its future. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

The Outer Limits reaches limit
A piece of local TV history came to an end in May when the cast and crew of The Outer Limits wrapped up filming for the show’s sixth and final season.The series, a modern revival of the classic 1960s science fiction horror show, launched in 1995. It was among a half dozen local series that sprang up in the wake of the wildly successful X-Files sci-fi series filmed in the Lower Mainland for almost a decade. After the final shoot, The Outer Limits crew were at Bridge Studios selling off costumes, furniture, set decorations and other memorabilia.

Time to clean up all the garbage on MarineWay Editor: I am writing about the amount of refuse along the north side of Marine Way, east of Byrne Road. Market Crossing is a wonderful development meeting the diverse needs of Burnaby citizens. On the south side of Marine Way, the landscaping is lovely, and very little litter can be found. On the north side of Marine Way, bordering on the film studio, it is a horrendous mess of litter, discarded clothing, fast food wrappers and coffee cups, even needles, etc. It is a disgrace. The film studio is a lucrative tenant of this land. Perhaps it could pitch in for some upgrades and clean up along this well-used city sidewalk. Or perhaps the city could get a crew out there to clean up once in a while and to install some trash cans on this popular bus route. As it is now, this stretch of sidewalk is a black eye on our otherwise green city. Am I the only one who has noticed this? A. Council, Burnaby
Burnaby turning into a place only for affluent
Editor: Re: Not buying change of heart, NOW opinion, July 27. I have just finished reading Murray Martin’s opinion piece on Burnaby city council’s lack of concern for renters in the Metrotown area. I have found this depressingly consistent with their attitude toward the homeless in this city. Advocates for the homeless have lobbied for
years for a shelter in Burnaby and remain unsuccessful. The reply from council has always been that funding a shelter would require a partial contribution from the city and this is not acceptable to them. They hold the position that other levels of government should be responsible for 100 per cent of the financing. Other municipalities have not assumed this stance, and the upshot is that Richmond and Burnaby are the only communities in the Lower Mainland that do not have a homeless shelter. Similarly, the Elizabeth Fry Society was frustrated in its effort to build a small apartment building in Burnaby. This would have housed people with mental health and prior substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, the city insisted that parking be provided for each apartment, and this was not financially feasible for Elizabeth Fry. They pointed out to council that the tenants would receive small pensions and could not afford automobiles. City hall remained adamant, and the project was abandoned. Is Burnaby evolving into a community planned strictly to house the affluent? If it does so, it could be due to policies which consistently obstruct efforts to house the working class, homeless people, and tenants with mental health issues. I would be ashamed to live in a city with this sort of reputation. Greg Bourgeois, Burnaby Editor’s note: There is currently a proposal before council for a supportive housing project that would provide homes for people who are homeless, or at risk of being homeless. Council has stated its support for it; however, it is not what would be considered a “shelter.”

Local bagpipe enthusiasts got a rare treat this weekend when the world-class SFU pipe band played a free concert at the university’s Burnaby campus on Sunday afternoon. The band heads to Scotland this week for the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Green from Aug. 17 to 18, and orga-
nizers put on the concert to fine-tune its competition program and give back to local fans. “You may or may not think we sound strong, but I can assure you that there are bands just as strong in Scotland, and so we know that we must be at our very best,” Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee told a crowd gathered around a grove in the academic quadrangle. The band, comprised of
more than 40 pipers and drummers, has won the world competition six times and placed in the top three more than 20 times. It has also won the North American and Australian championships, and played in some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and Lincoln Center. The group is led by Pipe
Major Alan Bevan, Pipe Sergeant Lee (currently the world’s top solo piper) and lead drummer Reid Maxwell. Three of this year’s band members are from Burnaby: longtime member Derek Milloy, Damien Burleigh and SFU student Jamie Kubasiewicz. For more information, visit sfupipeband.com.

A Burnaby office building that long housed the Beedie Development Group and then the headquarters of the B.C. NDP was gutted by an early morning fire Friday. Fire broke out in the now-vacant building at 5367 Kingsway, east of Royal Oak, at about 3 a.m. By the time crews arrived, the two-storey structure was already fully engulfed in flames. “Basically there was fire and smoke showing out of every window.There was a huge plume of black smoke,” fire Capt. Joey Marra told the NOW. “It was basically defensive right off the bat.” A Best Western Plus hotel next to the building was
evacuated as a precaution, and Kingsway was shut down at Royal Oak. Marra said the busy route would be shut down into the afternoon as the walls of the building were unstable and could collapse. “We don’t want that south wall coming down onto Kingsway,” he said. Fire officials were in the process of getting hold of the owner Friday morning before bringing in an excavator to knock down the unstable structure. The building had housed the offices of the Beedie Development Group for 53 years before being sold to the B.C. NDP for $1.7 million in 2007, according to a 2016 Vancouver Sun story. The party used it as its headquarters until 2015, when it was sold for $2.15 million.

An anti-SOGI group could soon be hosting an event at your local church. Canadian Council for Faith and Family Values, a Burnaby- and New Westminster-based faith group, has hosted at least three “STOP SOGI 123” events in the Lower Mainland since mid-July. SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) is a B.C. educational resource that promotes inclusiveness of the sexual orientations and gender identities of children and their families. Four STOP SOGI 123 meetings are scheduled in New West churches over the next two months, and other churches in Burnaby have also expressed interest, according to an event organizer. No further details on the location or time of the events were given. New West’s Free Methodist Community Church (320 Eighth St.) hosted one of these meetings on Thursday evening for parents who want to “raise their children with love and wisdom,” according to a Facebook event.The group says SOGI 123 is a threat to children, parental rights and traditional and Christian values. That meeting was met with a counter protest or “love rally” by those who support the LGBTQ com-

munity and the SOGI policy. Pastor Brian Hornibrook, lead pastor of Free Methodist Community Church, said he learned about the anti-SOGI group through other New West pastors. He invited the group to make a presentation because members of his congregation are concerned about the SOGI curriculum and are worried teachers are not properly informing them of what their children would be taught regarding sexual education and gender identity. Laura-Lynn Tyler Thomson, former co-host of the Christian talk show 700 Club Canada, is one of the speakers at these events. She
told the NOW the meetings tend to be private events by host churches, but church members may invite friends to attend. A NOW reporter attempted to go to a meeting in New Westminster last week but was not allowed to enter the church. Tyler Thomson said she and her co-presenter Jenn Smith, a trans-identified man, have hired security guards to “protect” the meetings because protesters have disrupted their talks in the past. She said security will turn away anyone they think is a protester. “We are presenting to faith-based people who are interested, and they can
bring friends who are not faith-based, but we are protected,”Tyler Thomson said. “We are in a church.This is not our first rodeo.” No audio or video recordings are allowed because the organizers are concerned recordings could be taken out of context. According to the SOGI 123 website, it is less of a curriculum and more of a policy, which includes SOGI-inclusive lesson plans, meant to make schools inclusive and safe for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities. It includes policies such as a school’s code of conduct and how to make environments safe and inclusive.

It’s safe to go into the water again. Barnet Marine Park beach, which had been closed for nearly a month, is once again open to swimmers, according to a water quality report by Fraser Health released on Aug. 1. The beach was closed in early July after water samples revealed elevated levels of E. coli – a bacteria often found in intestines of warm-blooded animals and humans – in the water. Fraser Health requires that water samples contain less than 200 E.coli bacteria per 100 millilitres for it to be considered safe to swim. Samples with more than 200 E. coli per 100 ml are consider unsatisfactory and will result in a closure, according to Fraser Health and the Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality. Water samples taken from Barnet Marine Park beach in July had more than 400 E. coli bacteria per 100 ml, according to the City of Burnaby. There is currently 112 E. coli bacteria per 100 ml in the water off Barnet Marine Park, according to Fraser Health’s recent water quality report. Homfray Sept 20 - Oct 15, Stay 3 nights and pay for 2

Communitynow Soft Peaks wants to be city’s favourite ice cream Cayley Dobie
cdobie@burnabynow.com
There’s a new player making waves in the Burnaby ice cream scene, and it’s looking to become the city’s new favourite. Vancouver-based Soft Peaks Ice Cream opened its second location in the heart of Metrotown, across from Metropolis at Metrotown. Soft Peaks Ice Cream opened three years ago in Gastown (at 25 Alexander St.).The company, started by brothers Dan and Ken Kim, prides itself on offering ice cream that is made from organic milk with “just a touch of sweetness.” Soft Peaks also does its best to source its ingredients from farms in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. One of its main attraction is a collaboration withVancouver-based Swiss Bakery – the frissant ice cream sandwich. Created by Swiss Bakery, the frissant is a hybrid of a fritter and croissant. At Soft Peaks, they slice it in half and fill it with their homemade ice cream. “It’s really crisp, sweet; it goes very well with our ice cream, and you can kind of build your own based on the toppings and the ice cream base you want,” said Soft
Peaks marketing manager Amy Kim. (Amy is married to Dan.) The Burnaby location is the first Soft Peaks to open outside ofVancouver and features more than 1,500 square feet of space, almost twice the size of the Gastown shop. “The whole concept of this second location is icecream café,” Amy said Kim imagines Soft Peaks becoming a destination, where guests can gather and enjoy a treat (or two) at their leisure.The Burnaby location seats 36 comfortably with a variety of benches and tables.The renewed vision was born out of comments Soft Peaks received from its Gastown customers, according to Amy. “Gastown is a beautiful store. It’s like a loft, so it has a second (level), and people love to hang around that upstairs, especially in the summer, looking over to the main floor, but it’s not as big as the Burnaby location.We don’t have that many seating areas. So students or guests who wanted to stay longer wouldn’t be able to do that in Gastown as much as they wanted,” she said. “When we were designing the second location here, we just wanted to make sure we do have many spaces where
SWEET TOOTH: Soft Peaks Ice Cream prides itself on making organic ice cream using local ingredients. The Vancouver-based ice-cream company just opened its second location, this time in Burnaby. It’s located at 4603 Kingsway (across from Metropolis at Metrotown, just west of McKay). It’s open every day from noon to 10 p.m. For more info, go to softpeaks.ca. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
our guests can hang around – by the window, where it’s brighter, or a more intimate and quiet space like the back.” But fans of the Gastown shop won’t be completely taken aback by the new location. It still has the familiar yellow accents and black-
and-white menu boards. The move to Burnaby, meanwhile, has been a longtime coming. Amy said she’s seen many of her competitors expand withinVancouver or into the North Shore, but cities east ofVancouver remain, for the most part, untouched.
“The population is increasing here,” she said. “I didn’t see that much of a dessert option available in Burnaby yet, and we wanted to be a pioneer.” They hope the new location will also entice residents in communities east of Burnaby and even south of
the Fraser.The goal is to be a destination for folks from Port Moody, Surrey and beyond. Soft Peaks Ice Cream is at 4603 Kingsway (across from Metropolis at Metrotown, just west of McKay). It’s open every day from noon to 10 p.m. See softpeaks.ca.

Plan ahead to make the most of your day at the festival Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
If you’re a longtime fan of the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival, you probably have the drill down pat. If you’re a newcomer, though, you may not know all the ins and outs of how to make your most of your day. Jared Bowles, marketing and sponsorship coordinator, says everyone who’s
It makes your experience … as seamless as possible
planning to attend the festival should start at its website, www.burnabybluesfestival.com, where there are several links under the Plan Your Day tab that should answer all the questions you have. “It makes your experience when you get here as seam-
less as possible,” he said. One of Bowles’ key recommendations: Plan for the weather. Based on how the summer’s been unfolding so far, organizers are hopeful for hot and sunny weather on festival weekend – which means attendees should plan for hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and, of course, a refillable water bottle (there are water stations on site). Should Mother Nature not be so cooperative, then plan for the rain instead – and no, umbrellas and tarp shelters are not allowed. So that means a trip to the dollar store to pick up ponchos for all in advance of the festival. You’ll also want to eat and drink throughout the day, but take note that outside food and beverages (outside of commerically sealed water bottles) are not permitted. So be sure to bring money for the food trucks that will be on site, as Bowles promises there will be something for all tastes in
Never mind the weather: Whether festival day is sunny like is was in 2017, left, or rainy like in 2015, going prepared for the weather is a key part of enjoying your day at the festival. PHOTOS NOW FILES
the array of options on site. (Check out page 21 for more details about your dining options.) Another key piece of the puzzle is getting to the festival.There’s no parking for the general public at the festival site, although accessible parking can be arranged (along with special needs seating) for those who require it. (Call the Shadbolt box office at 604-205-3000 to arrange accessible seat-
ing.) Everyone else should find alternative methods of transportation.

Yes, Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival is for the kids too Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
The Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival works hard every year to nurture the next generation of blues fans – and this year is no exception. The festival is once again encouraging families to turn out for the festival at Deer Lake Park, offering free tickets for children aged 12 and under who attend with a ticketed adult. Jared Bowles, the Shadbolt Centre’s marketing and sponsorship coordinator, noted that families have always been key to the festival. Every year, the festival offers a special kids’ zone, which provides entertainment for the small set in the form of a play structure, face painting and the ever-popular cardboard guitar making.The kids’ area is open from 1 to 7 p.m., with guitar making between 1 and 6 p.m. Parents or caregivers must accompany kids.

NATHANIEL RATELIFF AND THE NIGHT SWEATS
THE SUFFERS
Like his heroes, Nathaniel Rateliff has always been an omnivorous listener and player. Growing up in Hermann, Missouri, a small town with a booming tourism industry, he started his music career playing in his family’s band at church, but that came to a tragic end when his father was killed in a car accident. Music became an obsession for him and his friends. “We would walk around these deserted country roads and talk about music all the time, how it can change the world and how it could change our world,” recalls Night Sweats bassist Joseph Pope III. “Music was what we thought would save us.”
There is a contagious and combustible energy every time the eight-piece wonder-band The Suffers steps on the scene. Following The Suffers’ electrifying late night TV debut on Letterman in 2015, David Letterman exclaimed, “If you can’t do this, get out of the business!” There is something undeniable about The Suffers (whose name is a reference to the 1978 Jamaican film Rockers starring Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace, Jacob Miller and Burning Spear, among others), that instantly hits home with their audiences. “We make music for all people,” says lead vocalist Kam Franklin. “At this point, we’ve played all over the world and one thing is certain – if the music is good, the people will enjoy it.” Since 2011, the Houston heroes have been on a steady grind and have no plans of stopping. It seems the secret to their success is simple. Keyboardist Patrick Kelly confides, “There is a universal groove in the music that we play,” while bass guitarist Adam Castaneda adds, “I don’t think any of us are trying to impress anyone with our technical abilities, we just want to make them dance.”
Following a move to Denver, Pope and Rateliff formed their first band, Born in the Flood. A set of rough demos recorded in the early 2010s and based on old Stax and Motown records pointed Rateliff in a new direction. Those demos eventually developed into the band’s 2015 self-titled debut, which became a massive hit and pushed them out on the road for two long years. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats blasted their way through hundreds of shows in North America, England, Ireland, and Australia, and they played Coachella, Farm Aid, Newport Folk Festival, and the Monterey Pop Festival’s 50th anniversary. The crowds grew larger with every show and The Night Sweats grew tighter and more vigorous.
The Suffers exploded onto the scene in 2015 with their dazzling EP Make Some Room, which was followed by their critically heralded self-titled debut in 2016. The highly anticipated Everything Here is the band’s most bold statement yet. Everything Here, a riveting collection of 15 originals that gives props to Houston (there are even cameos from Houston rappers Paul Wall and Bun B), explores the many sides of love, celebrates the virtues of individuality, reminds us of the destruction of Harvey and resilience of the human spirit and declares love for their mothers. All of these themes coalesce into one soulful soundtrack. The band coproduced the album with John Allen Stephens and Zeke Listenbee co-produced on several tracks. Trombonist Michael Razo explains, “One of our goals was to have the songs on the album flow or tie into each other. Like creating an album where you just press play and let it go without having to skip to the next song.”
In May 2017, they brought that same boundless energy to the opens plains and prickly cacti of Rodeo, New Mexico, where the entire band disappeared for a week to write songs for their follow-up. Tearing at the Seams, the follow up album, shows The Night Sweats tearing at their own seams, at their own sturdy sound, at their long-held definitions of friend and family and band. It’s an album that builds on the sound of their debut but dramatically redefines what they can do and where they can go next.
“The Suffers are a contemporary version of the great R&B/funk bands of 70s and 80s…Rufus, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, with a powerful lead vocalist in Kam Franklin and spot-on musicianship that is all too rare these days,” says Shanachie Entertainment general manager, Randall Grass.
“This album is guaranteed to get the feet tapping and the hips swaying, let alone get you belting out the choruses; it is a small slice of all that was good about the music of the late 1960s and yet feels as relevant as ever … and perhaps as much a celebration of that time as it is an ode to it.” - Spill Magazine album review, Tearing at the Seams
THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE
The Rural Alberta Advantage’s percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, and relentless tradition of touring have taken the trio of Amy Cole, Paul Banwatt and Nils Edenloff from humble recognition amongst indie rock die-hards as “Canada’s best unsigned band” to sold-out tours and devoted fans around the world, with featured coverage from Spin Magazine, Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone all taking note. The band was nominated for two 2012 Juno Awards (Best New Group and Video of the Year for their song “Stamp”), long listed for the 2011 Polaris Award, and awarded the CBC Music Prize for Best Independent Artist in 2014. The RAA has released three albums on Saddle Creek/Paper Bag Records: Hometowns (2009), Departing (2011) and Mended With Gold (2014). The Wild was released last October featuring the singles ‘White Lights’ and ‘Brother’. The band recently completed a seven-week tour of the new album across North America and then headed to Europe and the U.K. “This is a focused trio who boast a superb drummer and feature lovely, unshowy harmonies, able to balance the melancholy of Nils Edenloff’s lyrics with a euphoric, confident delivery that feels like a brilliant form of catharsis.” - 8/10 Uncut on The Wild
NIKKI LANE
Nikki Lane’s stunning third album Highway Queen sees the young Nashville singer emerge as one of country and rock’s most gifted songwriters. Highway Queen is a journey through heartbreak that takes exquisite turns. The record begins with a whiskey-soaked homage to Lane’s hometown (“700,000 Rednecks”) and ends on the profoundly raw “Forever Lasts Forever,” where Lane mourns a failed marriage – the “lighter shade of skin” left behind from her wedding ring. On “Forever” and the confessional “Muddy Waters,” Lane’s lyrics align her with perceptive songwriters like Nick Lowe and Cass McCombs. Elsewhere, “Companion” is pure Everly Brothers’ dreaminess (“I would spend a lifetime/ Playing catch you if I can”). She goes on a Vegas bender on the rollicking “Jackpot,” fights last-call blues (“Foolish Heart”) and tosses off brazen one-liners at a backroom piano (“Big Mouth”). “Love is the most unavoidable thing in the world,” Lane says. “The person you pick could be half set-up to destroy your life with their own habits – I’ve certainly experienced that before and taken way too long to get out of that mistake.” Growing up, Lane used to watch her father pave asphalt during blistering South Carolina summers. She’d sit on the roller (“what helps smooth out the asphalt”) next to a guy named Rooster and divvy out Hardee’s lunch orders for the workers. “My father thought he was a country singer,” Lane laughs. “He partied hard at night, but by 6:30 a.m. he was out on the roads in 100-degree weather.” That’s the southern work ethic, she says. “We didn’t have a lot of money, but I was privileged with the knowledge of how to work hard, how to learn and to succeed when things aren’t set up for me.” Creativity was an unthinkable luxury, she adds. “When people told me I should try to get a record deal for songs I was writing, I was like, “that’s cute – I’ve got to be at work at 10 a.m.” Highway Queen is poised to be Lane’s mainstream breakthrough. “Am I excited to spend years of my life in a van, away from family and friends? No, but I’m excited to share my songs, so they’ll reach people and help them get through whatever they’re going through. To me, that’s worth it.”
BEGONIA
On one end of the spectrum there are varieties of the Begonia which can be dark, grievous, rough around the edges. And on the other end, a petite and elegant flower. In between, the plant attempts to harmonize its two poles, forming an array of varieties that each borrow from the delicate and the unseemly. It is in this same vein that Begonia (Alexa Dirks) finds herself, trying to find a balance. Known for her voice in the Juno Award-winning, harmony-driven group Chic Gamine, Dirks has a timbre that recalls the golden age of soul, proud and courageous. And yet it still returns to the ground, finding a quietness, a hesitant intimacy. Joined in studio by producers Matt Schellenberg (Royal Canoe) and Matt Peters (Royal Canoe, Close Talker), the collection of songs that forms Begonia’s Lady In Mind lets the extremes of Dirks’ past and present coalesce into a sound that is both battle hymn and breakbeat body mover, incorporating themes which are confident in and of themselves, and yet sometimes caught in the middle.
AMYTHYST KIAH
A professed Southern Gothic, alt-country blues singer/songwriter based in Johnson City, TN, Amythyst Kiah’s commanding stage presence is only matched by her raw and powerful vocals—a deeply moving, hypnotic sound that stirs echoes of a distant and restless past. Accoutered interchangeably with banjo, acoustic guitar, or a full band (Her Chest of Glass), Amythyst’s toolbox is augmented by her scholarship of African-American roots music. Her eclectic influences span decades, drawing heavily on old time music (Mississippi Sheiks, Son House, Jimmie Rodgers, Olla Belle Reed, Carter Family), inspired by strong R&B and country music vocalists from the ’50s to the ’70s (Big Mama Thornton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn) and influenced by contemporary artists with powerful vocal integrity (Adele, Florence and the Machine, Megan Jean and the KFB, Janelle Monae). Recent tours in Scotland and the U.K. have seen Amythyst performing for audiences at the Americana Music Association UK Showcase, the Southern Fried Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, and SummerTyne Americana Festival. She is a crowd favourite at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in the U.S., has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival. Provocative and coolly fierce, Amythyst Kiah’s ability to cross the boundaries of blues and old-time through reinterpretation is groundbreaking and simply unforgettable.

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
Where did the blues come from, anyway? The Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival is giving festivalgoers a chance to find out more about that question. New to the festival this year is a series of workshops about three genres of blues music that continue to influence all blues musicians to this day: Chicago blues, Memphis blues and New Orleans blues. The workshops are led by Jack Lavin, a Chicago-born musician and veteran of the Vancouver blues scene, known for being a founding member of the awardwinning Powder Blues band and host of theYale Hotel Blues Jam for many years. (You can find out more about him at his website, www.jacklavin.com.) He’ll be joined by Al Foreman on piano,Tim Hearsey on guitar, John Nolan on drums and Jerry Cook and Steve Hilliam

“The great part about Deer Lake Park is the whole site is licensed,” Bowles noted, adding that will give people the freedom to buy their drink and move around the site, rather than being forced to stay in a fenced beer garden.

market and shop for a variety of wares. Don’t forget to also bring your own water bottle; there will be filling stations on the festival grounds, and you’ll want to stay hydrated – especially if the weather’s hot and sunny.

How does the new rental zoning law affect Burnaby?
Burnaby will be the first city in B.C. to begin implementing a new rental zoning bylaw aimed to help maintain the affordability rates in the JENNY WUN PREC rental market. A motion was passed for Associate Broker the city to require developers to replace rental suites if the building was being substantially renovated or demolished. The replacement has to be in the same neighbourhood, put back on the market at an affordable rate, and offer first right of refusal to its current tenants. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the city has been asking for a zoning bylaw like this for 30 years. In the past, cities were attempting to negotiate density in exchange for rentals, but now municipalities have authority to require replacement of them with the new legislation.

Q
I was in your store looking at your banknotes and there were terms that I did not understand. What are low numbered notes?
A
Every profession has its own terms they use and ours is no JIM RICHARDSON exception. Low numbered notes are bills with serial numbers below 500. The most expensive number is 0001 and they sell for around $1,000.00 each. For each number after that the value diminishes until about # 500 where there is no premium above the collector price of a regular note. A solid number is a note where all the numbers are the same, such as 11111, 22222 etc. Most solids in new condition also sell for $1,000.00 and up. However for Canadian notes with 7 digits in the serial number if only 6 are the same with 1 different they only retail for $20.00 approximately.

Communitynow Here’s what to plant for garden colour in late summer Mark Cullen
Gardening with Mark
Some days, the best part of a football game is the halftime show. So too the garden. This weekend marks the halfway mark through the gardening season. For many of us, the best is yet to come. If you missed the colour and fragrance of early season, the peonies, lilacs and crabapples, no worries. There is plenty more where that came from. And there is lots of time to enjoy the “second half.”With the bonus of cooler nights and butterflies to beat the band, we would argue that this is the best time of year not to take a vacation, as you will risk missing the real action. Here are our top perennial flowering picks for August through October performance: TURTLE HEAD (CHERONE CORSUTA Watching the pink flowering panicles push their way
through the top of a sturdy upright green plant is like watching a turtle’s head slowly emerge from its shell. The flowers stick around for weeks, well in to early fall, attracting bees and hummingbirds as they show off. 60 cm tall. Sun. INDIAN FEATHER (GAURA) A fine border plant that frequently garners questions and comments from visitors to Mark’s garden. Standing about 70 cm tall, the long flowering stems of gaura feature a string of fine, pink or purple flowerets that bow as you walk past. Sun to part sun. PLANTAIN LILY/HOSTA An extensive family of over 9,000 varieties. Shade and part sun-loving, they are best known for their stunning foliage. Some varieties produce a tall spike of flowers that are equally showy and attractive to hummingbirds in August and September. Our favourite varieties include: Island Breeze. Gold/ green foliage, 30 cm tall.

One thing Banwatt enjoys about being a musician these days is the fact that, no matter where the band goes, they inevitably find people who have heard their music. There’s a part of Banwatt that still misses the way music used to be spread, when you’d go into the record store and look for the little notes stuck on the records telling you what you might like. But he can’t deny that the world of Google Play Music and Spotify has made it infinitely more possible to get your music in front of a large audience. “Things change, and that’s how it is, and you’ve gotta just kinda go with it,” Banwatt says. “The fact that all these streaming platforms get more music out there … that’s a good thing. At the end of the day more people are listening to music, and that’s gotta be a good thing.” He knows it’s changed things for The Rural Alberta Advantage, who have managed to transition from being a niche favourite among indie rock die-hards to more widespread appeal – and not just in Canada. “Spotify’s really cool because they show you where you’re getting played.We got added to some playlists in Europe and things just sort of took off for us over there,” Banwatt said, noting that they were playing to the same size of crowd in Germany that they could draw in the U.S. “I don’t think that would have happened had it not been for Spotify and platforms like that. …We’re not that big, but we could go anywhere and people will come. It might not be an arena full of people everywhere, but I don’t think there’s a lot of big cities … where we couldn’t at

go along with that. “It can all go wrong, and I think that’s what’s exciting for us about a live show,” he says. Sometimes, he says, it’s those moments when things go off the rails and something goes wrong that really makes the live performance worthwhile. “That ends up being the most memorable moments of a live show.” Just the idea that they get to get up in front of crowds and share their music, gig after gig, year after year, makes Banwatt grateful for the past 13 years with The Rural Alberta Advantage. The fact that they now have fans who have followed their career for a decade, who’ll come up and say to them, ‘Hey, I’ve seen you guys six times’ – that, Ban-
watt says, is a “crazy awesome feeling.” “I think at this point if nothing changed from here, we would all consider this to be amazing success,” he said. “We feel really lucky. .. Music is fickle these days. You have a giant record and then the next year everyone’s forgotten about you for some reason. So when you talk about success, one of the things that makes me feel we’ve been successful is everyone has stuck around with us.” And no, he says, they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. “We’ll keep doing this as long as people want us to,” he says. “I can’t picture a world where we’re not making music.”

Nationals serve up 18-under upset Some mergers result in magical dividends. The joint project that is the North Fraser Nationals – a merger of Burnaby and Vancouver minor baseball associations in the 18-under division – proved wildly successful and has the team in NewYork this week in hopes of running the table. The Nationals captured the 18u AAA B.C. title 10 days ago, with a powerful string of games that featured their share of ups and downs. Exacting a little revenge for their lone loss of the tourney, North Fraser took down the North Island Cubs 11-5 to capture the title and a spot at

this week’s Blue Chips Prospect tournament on Long Island, NewYork. Behind a strong pitching performance from Matthew Shewfelt, who gamely took the mound after getting hit on the ankle by a foul ball earlier in the day, the Nationals held the Cubs to four runs in the first five innings. Outfielders Carter Kada-Wong, Jason Merkens and Leo Chen chased down a number of dangerous hits off Island bats, erasing the memory of a 7-1 setback in the second game of round-robin action. To advance to the final, the Nationals faced the No. 1-seeded Kelowna

Michael Ellis was masterful in matching Kelowna’s best hurler, while a 1-0 deficit was flipped when Burnaby’s Nicolas Santarelli launched a two-run homer in the third inning to the opposite field to secure the victory. North Fraser kicked off the Burnaby-hosted tourney by blasting South Fraser 10-0, before suffering their single loss to North Island. In a mustwin game against the No. 2-seeded Cowichan Valley Mustangs, the Nationals responded with a convincing 17-3 win.

Morley signs deal STM grad climbs golf charts Parsons finishes with Komets strong at women’s amateur final
Burnaby’s Brandon Morley has landed with the Fort Wayne Komets. The 24-year-old forward was among six players who signed preseason contracts with the East Coast Hockey League club for the 2018/19 season. Morley, who played last season with TSV Peissenberg in Germany, will be making his North American pro debut with the Comets, who were Western Conference finalists in 2017/18. He completed his four-year collegiate commitment with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks two seasons ago, finishing with two goals and 10 assist
in 34 games while serving as captain. During his time in Fairbanks, Morley was voted twice to the WCHA allacademic team, and accumulated 14 goals and 24 assists over 139 NCAA games. He made the move after spending four seasons in the B.C. Hockey League, with stints with the Surrey Eagles and Coquitlam Express.The Komets currently are unaffiliated with any NHL hockey club. With Peissenberg, Morley finished second overall in team scoring with 19 goals and 25 assists in 26 games.

St.Thomas More grad Mary Parsons put her best foot forward on the final round of the Canadian Women’s Amateur Golf championship at Vancouver’s Marine Drive Golf Club. The teen fired an even-par 71 on the fourth-and-final round to climb into a tie for 43rd place overall. Her four-day tally was 294 (75, 74, 74, 71), 21 strokes back of Concord, Cal. native Yealimi Noh, who edged out Dylan Kim of Texas for the Canadian title. The first two rounds saw Parsons struggle on the back nine, with four and five bogeys on each respective day creating a mere one-stroke advantage from those who missed the cut. She settled down and played a more confident game on Day 3.The Delta native left the course that day having shot a respectable one-over 36 on the back-nine and three-over 74 on the 6,279-yard course.

It reflected in her game on the final day, with three birdies countering three bogeys on the front nine, and her lone eagle on the 13th hole – a par 3 – setting her up for an even-par day. Parsons, preparing for her second year at Indiana Univer-
sity, set a new freshman single stroke overage of 73.31 over 26 rounds as a member of the Hoosiers’ women’s golf team. She also set a new school record for lowest 18-hole round, a 66 at the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational.

Businesses that Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours
There’s nothing like spending a few days in pristine wilderness to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. We are blessed with acres of untouched rainforest in B.C., and experiencing the sights and sounds of the coast, including globally renowned Desolation Sound, is a rite of passage for British Columbians, and a must for international travellers. Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours and Homfray Lodge offer an intimate experience which helps connect people to nature and the authentic B.C. coast. Equipped to navigate through hidden channels, the Pacific Bear, a refurbished fishing boat, offers you incomparable views of Desolation Sound, virtually unchanged from
its earliest discovery. Says Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours founder George Bartel: “It’s a twist on traditional cruising … I’ve been in the travel business for almost 40 years, and I’m interested in reshaping how people experience this part of the world. It’s an experience that you are unable to find anywhere else.” Passengers of the Pacific Bear will have an allinclusive wilderness lodge experience which includes a stay at Homfray Lodge on the remote waters of Homfray Channel in Desolation Sound, as well as Grizzly Bears tours. Desolation Sound has the warmest waters of the B.C. coast with temperatures in the Sound often exceeding 22°C (75°F) from June to September. It is the seconddeepest sound in North America, reaching depths of 2,400 feet with peaks rising up to 8,000 feet from the water. With less than a knot of current, many global boaters and sea kayakers regard Desolation Sound as
a spectacular destination. This coastal haven of deep fjords and towering 7,000foot peaks, boasts spectacular waterfalls, glacier-fed rivers and magnificent Coastal Mountains in the backdrop. And the small size of the boat allows guests to get upclose-and-personal with the fjords. “On the boat, there’s a rooftop where you can have lunch. We stop at the waterfalls and get so close that we can feel the splash of the water on our cheeks,” says Sabrina Ouellette, reservations coordinator at Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours, which runs the tours. Exclusive and personal, Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours and stays at Homfray Lodge have tailored different kinds of journeys for you, where you can access the best places on the BC coast.

Looking for a new home? Start here.
Home sales cool – but Burnaby condo prices are hot July may have been scorching in terms of the weather, but the real estate market was decidedly cool, according to the latest report from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). Metro Vancouver saw the lowest number of July home sales since July 2000, with 2,070 homes trading hands on the Multiple Listings Service. That’s a 30.1 per cent drop compared with July 2017, and a decrease of 14.6 per cent in a single month since June 2018. That total is also a whopping 29.3 per cent below the 10-year July sales average. However, the REBGV president pointed out that the month-over-month decline is standard, as July always sees slower home sales. “Summer is traditionally a quieter time of year in real estate. This is particularly true this year,” said Phil Moore. “With increased mortgage rates and stricter lending requirements, buyers and sellers are opting to take a wait-and-see approach.” It seems price growth has finally stalled and even slightly reversed. The overall benchmark price – all home types across the region – now stands at $1,087,500. This is a 6.7 per cent year-over-year increase over July 2017 but a small decline of 0.6 per cent compared with June this year. Composite price growth in the three Burnaby areas fared a little better, rising on an annual basis between 7.2 per cent in Burnaby East and 10.6 per cent in Burnaby North.
Sales and prices by property type A total of 637 detached Metro Vancouver homes traded on the MLS in July, a drop of 32.9 per cent year over year and a slide of 16.8 per cent since June this year. Burnaby East detached homes rose 3 per cent year over year, but they fell 1.9 per cent in both Burnaby North and South. This compares with annual price declines of 8.4 per cent for Vancouver West’s detached homes, 8.3 per cent in West Vancouver. Sales of attached homes such as duplexes, townhomes and row homes across the region fell even further, dropping 34.8 per cent year over year to 543 sales in July. Burnaby East townhome prices rose 19.4 per cent year over year, compared with 12 and 13.6 per cent in Burnaby South and North respectively. Greater Vancouver condo sales totalled 1,079 in July 2018, which is 26.5 per cent lower than the 1,468 sales in July 2017 and down nearly 13 per cent month over month. With the strongest price growth over the past year, the benchmark price of an apartment property is $700,500, 13.6 per cent up from July 2017, although a 0.5 per cent decline compared with June 2018. Burnaby straddled the region’s price growth performance, with annual condo price increases between 8.4 per cent (Burnaby East) and 20 per cent (Burnaby North).

KENNEDY, Clarence William “Bill” December 10, 1932 - April 04, 2018 It is with heavy hearts, that we announce Bill’s passing on April 04, 2018 at the age of 85 years. Bill was born in Radway Alberta on December 10, 1932. Bill is survived and will be missed by his wife Edna Rose Kennedy (Rebalkin), his son David Kennedy, daughter Colleen Hief, stepdaughter Tania Rebalkin, stepson Warren Graner, and his grandchildren, great grandchildren and numerous family members and life long friends. Bill went to school in Alberta and BC, after graduating, he joined the R.C.A.F. He met Nadine Pearce while stationed in Comox, then transferred to Ontario. There years later he left the R.C.A.F., and returned to the island. After parting with Nadine, he went to work in Ft. McMurray then California. He became a Mason, and was a commercial fisherman in BC and the Gulf of Mexico. He met and married Edna (Rebalkin) and moved to Hatzic Lake in the 80’s. Coming from a musical family, Bill loved nothing more than to sit down and jam with his cousins and Edna, whom he taught to play guitar so she could keep him company while he played his favorite instrument, the Banjo. The very last song that he played with Edna just weeks before passing was “So long, it’s been good to know you”. He got to see one of his lifelong friends, Arnie Iverson, just days before passing. Bill was at peace when he passed, with Edna by his side. There will be a Celebration of Life on the September long weekend at the Vedder River Campground and for those unable to attend then, please contact Edna, call or text message 778-982-9289 so that Edna can arrange a gathering in New Westminster on August 25, 2018.
