Ex-Burnabyrealtorcaught instingwon’tseejailtime Man was lured by the Surrey Creep Catchers group Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Warning: this story contains disturbing content.

A former Burnaby realtor accused of trying to arrange sex with what turned out to be a fictitious sixyear-old girl and her mother has been handed a one-year conditional sentence after pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

Kuljinder Singh (Kelly) Bhatti, 37, made headlines in April 2017, after a dramatic confrontation between him and members of the Surrey Creep Catchers vigilante pedophile hunter group was captured on video and posted on the group’s Facebook page.

Bhatti had been at a Tim Hortons in the Surrey Central City Mall on April 3 to meet Kimberly Richter, a woman working with the Creep Catchers and posing to Bhatti as a mother selling sex with herself and her fictitious six-year-old daughter “Abby.”

No such girl existed, but Bhatti had communicated with Richter via email and text, arranging to have sex with both as part of a “package deal,” according to agreed facts presented in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver Monday.

“Seriously, time is standing still when I think of how long I have to wait,” Bhatti said in an email read out in court.

During two audiotaped meetings between Bhatti and Richter, the pair discussed such things as lubricants and condoms, with Bhatti indicating he was prepared to have sex with the girl as well as the moth-

er.

“The first time is going to be the worst time,” he said, explaining he didn’t know how Abby would respond.

After the Creep Catchers confrontation, which saw president Ryan LaForge charged with assault for shoving Bhatti around, Bhatti was charged with communicating to buy under-aged sex.

In a plea deal, however, he ended up pleading guilty Monday only to communicating to buy sex.

Judge Nancy Phillips accepted a joint sentencing submission from special prosecutor Greg Delbigio and defence lawyer Mark Berry, and handed Bhatti a one-year conditional sentence and $500 fine.

He has also been ordered to give a DNA sample and will be registered as a sex offender.

Bhatti will have a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the first six months of his sentence, and a curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the second six months.

He is also banned from contacting anyone under the age of 18 except under circumstances approved by his sentence supervisor.

Bhatti’s discussions with Richter began in March 2017 when he responded to a fake Creep Catchers ad featuring a scantily clad woman and the words “Fantasy babysitter” and “Make all your open-minded dreams come true.”

In his submissions, Berry noted the ad didn’t explicitly refer to sex with an under-aged person and that it was Richter and not Bhatti who had introduced the idea of sex with Abby in the ensuing texts and emails.

Burnaby First names first four candidates Two of the party’s candidates led a controversial campaign opposing anti-homophobia policy in local schools Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby politicians shouldn’t have ties to federal and provincial parties – they need to work for the citizens of Burnaby.This was one of the key messages at a launch for city council candidates running under the banner of the Burnaby First Coalition.

The BFC announced its first four candidates, three of whom were present at an election launch party in North Burnaby on Saturday.

“We’re not affiliated with any provincial or federal party,” Gordon Shank, a volunteer with the party, told the NOW at the event.

“We don’t have colleagues in Victoria or Ottawa.”

Charter Lau, Heather Leung, Linda Hancott and John Templeton have all declared their intentions to run for Burnaby city council for the BFC. The party plans on running a full slate for council and school board to try and topple the ruling Burnaby Citizens Association, led

by Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Shank said there are three or four people interested in running for mayor, but the party will only choose someone who is strong enough to beat the incumbent and any other mayoral candidate.

“We won’t run just anybody – we have high standards for our candidates,” Shank said.

The issue of the Trans Mountain pipeline project was part of a discussion forum at the event that included three of the four an-

BURNABY FIRST: Charter Lau (left) and Heather Leung. nounced candidates, some party organizers and audience members.

There was no consensus on if the BFC was for or against the pipeline expansion project, but a common theme was that it was more of a provincial and federal jurisdiction and that there were benefits to working with Trans Mountain, such as tax revenues – instead of just fighting it in the courts. But the BFC candidates all told the NOW they would also listen to the concerns of citizens who oppose the pipeline expansion.

Lau, who runs a video production company, ran for Burnaby city council in the 2014 election.

At Saturday’s launch, he criticized Corrigan for the amount of resources being spent fighting the

pipeline.

“I think your money should stay in Burnaby and benefit you,” he said.

Lau also criticized the current mayor’s past comments on people with addictions and the homeless.

“Burnaby should move forward together, leaving no one behind,” Lau said.

Leung, who ran for school trustee in the 2014 election, became an occupational therapist after working in journalism. She highlighted concerns around housing affordability and the overdose crisis.

She has three children, two adults and one in Grade 12, and she said she wants them to have the opportunity to live locally.

“Like other parents, I wish my

children to be able to live in the city when they have their own families,” Leung said. “Now, it’s hard because the house prices are rising so high.”

BFC CONTROVERSY Both Lau and Leung have had controversial pasts in politics, clashing with the BCA-dominated school board over the Burnaby school district’s anti-homophobia policy.The policy was designed to protect staff and students from homophobic bullying, but both Lau and Leung opposed it and were founding members of Parents’Voice, a political group that formed to fight the policy.

Following the BFC’s announcement of candidates, a BCA supporter named Trevor Ritchie, who

identifies himself on LinkedIn as a one-time BCA executive member from 2012 to 2015, took to Twitter to criticize the party’s choices.

He tweeted that “religiously motivated #homophobia and #transphobia” had “coloured” the BFC’s campaign in 2014.

Parents’s Voice, with Lau and Leung as two of the complainants, filed a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal complaint against the gay and lesbian publication Xtra! – that complaint was dismissed.

In 2014, before the last municipal election, the Green Party went public to disavow any connection with the BFC because of its ties to Parents’Voice, including Vancouver Green councillor Adriane Carr speaking out.

OTHER CANDIDATE Templeton, who works in the trades and volunteers with the Stoney Creek Streamkeepers, said he believes it’s time for a change in Burnaby politics. He was featured in a recent NOW article after he discovered that fish had been killed in a local creek after firefighters extinguished a nearby vehicle fire.

He says it’s not healthy that the BCA dominates every elected seat.

“Democracy works best when we have balance,”Templeton said.

“Currently, we have a total of one party dominating all.”

He said he’s running because he doesn’t just want to talk, he wants to stand up and put himself forward, adding that he’s not a lawyer or a career politician.

“I am you, Johnny Canuck, the average citizen,” he said.

Man raises safety concerns about Central Park Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

When Louie Lizardo walks in Central Park at night, he carries a knife in his pocket.

“I never used to do that,” he said.

He brings the weapon with him on evening strolls for protection, as he has become increasingly uneasy using the public space after dark.

A series of violent incidents has led the Patterson Avenue resident to believe the area is unsafe, especially at night.

A vicious assault of a senior and a stabbing in the park less than two weeks apart this July cemented Lizardo’s impression that his beloved neighbourhood park is no longer safe.Those incidents came almost exactly one year after 13-yearold Marissa Shen was found murdered in the park.

“Things could happen again, and we don’t have safe place to walk at night,” Lizardo said.

Lizardo said he’s not alone in the perception. He said he has spoken to neighbours who feel the same way and has even noticed fewer people walking at night.

The avid walker said he

has noticed increased drug use in the park and has been made to feel uncomfortable by some groups he’s encountered there.

“As a Burnaby resident, why do I have to fear going out of my place and doing what I need to do?” he said.

Lizardo said he wants to see the city install more lighting and surveillance

cameras along pathways.

Coun. Paul McDonell, the chair of the city’s parks, recreation and culture commission, said the city is already installing new cameras in Central Park, as well as emergency call boxes. He also pointed out that the city recently installed a padded walking track on the west side of the park.

Lizardo said the track’s location near Boundary Road made it inaccessible for himself and most Burnaby residents. He said he believes mostly Vancouver residents use the new infrastructure.

The city should also open Swangard Stadium to the public at night, Lizardo said.

Currently the stadium’s track is open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays.

“What the heck is that?

Is that a country club? It’s supposed to be owned by the people,” he said.

McDonell said it’s unlikely the stadium will see its hours extended into the evening anytime soon, saying that would increase the risk of damage and vandalism to the facilities.

“We don’t get much demand for it,” McDonell said.

McDonell also challenged the notion that Central Park is a particularly dangerous place.

“I’ve been in Burnaby since 1964, and I can probably count on one hand the number of incidents that we’ve had,” he said. “I mean, one is too many, but it’s pretty safe.”

Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar echoed McDonell’s assertions, saying, “We want to assure the public that Central Park is safe.”

“Burnaby RCMP is continuing high-visibility, proactive patrols through the park at all times of the day

and night,” she said, adding that people need to take responsibility for their own safety as well.

After this story was first published online, Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj sent the NOW a statement addressing the fact Lizardo said he carries a knife in Central Park.

“Burnaby RCMP would like to highlight that carrying a concealed weapon is illegal and is not something anyone should do,” he said, in part. “If citizens in Burnaby have concerns for their safety, then we’d ask that they let police know of these concerns so they can be addressed.”

Kalanj also pointed out that an arrest had recently been made in the July 26 stabbing in the park. A 71-year-old Coquitlam man is facing a potential charge of aggravated assault with a weapon.

City now Bhatti went ‘far beyond mere curiosity,’ says judge Continued from page 1 At one point Bhatti had said that was “not his regular gig.”

Berry argued Bhatti’s goal had really been sex with Richter, not with Abby.

“Mr. Bhatti is somebody who, to be perfectly candid, saw the opportunity to have sexual contact with a woman that was, by his estimation, far out of his league, a woman that he would never have a chance at having any contact with in a million years, and he was prepared to say absolutely anything to string that along to achieve his goal, which was to actually have sexual contact with that woman.”

Phillips agreed it was a mitigating factor that Bhatti had not initiated the discussions about Abby but reiterated the realtor’s discussions with Richter had encompassed having sex with a six-year-old.

“They were ongoing and far beyond mere curiosity,” she said in her decision. “Mr. Bhatti was an active and willing participant in those discussions.”

But Philips went on to note a number of other factors in Bhatti’s favour: he has no previous criminal record, a psychological assessment found him to be a low risk to reoffend, he initiated plea discussions early in the court process, and he had no difficulty complying with his bail conditions.

Bhatti, who was married at the time of the incident, is now separated and unemployed, according to Berry.

After the Creep Catchers incident, Berry said threats were directed at Bhatti’s residential building and realty office, Sutton Centre Realty on Boundary Road.

Bhatti has also been disowned by members of his family,

Berry said.

“Every aspect of this individual’s life has been significantly altered for the worse,” Berry said. “He made his own bed. He put himself there. He acknowledges that, but it is still an incredibly difficult process for him.”

One of Bhatti’s older sisters described her brother as a “stunted social developer” who had been coddled by their mother as the baby of the family, according to Berry.

That role had changed abruptly, however, when his father died when he was 18 and he was expected to take on the role of man of the family, Berry said.

Delbigio was appointed on April 5, 2017 to take on Bhatti’s case as a special prosecutor since one of Bhatti’s sisters is an employee of the Criminal Justice Branch.

Burnaby Heights residents were left feeling violated Monday after a huge pile of asbestos was dumped in a back alley.

At 1:26 p.m. on Monday, Mondee Redman tweeted out photos of yellow bags blocking an alley that opens onto North Carleton Avenue, between Eton Street and Cambridge Street.The bags were sealed and listed as asbestos.

Finally, at 10 p.m., a City of Burnaby worker showed up and erected a barricade around the pile, and then taped it all off.

“The city needs to review its procedures,” Redman tweeted on Tuesday.

Several residents had

“This is just criminal,” said a resident who was out walking his dog. “Why pick on us?”

The city worker told the residents assembled that the city doesn’t have the equipment to dispose of the asbestos and so a contractor, Phoenix Restorations, had been hired to take over the disposal. Phoenix workers showed up around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Taxpayers deserve to know cost of court cases

People both for and against the Trans Mountain pipeline will be on pins and needles early Thursday morning.

That’s when the Federal Court of Appeal is scheduled to release its decision in a case that combined nearly two dozen lawsuits calling for the National Energy Board’s review of the pipeline to be overturned. (Follow burnabynow.com for the breaking news.)

First Nations, including the Tsleil-Waututh, argued the federal government did not adequately consult them, although federal law-

yers told the hearings extensive consultations were conducted. Environmental groups and the cities ofVancouver and Burnaby also challenged the project and were supported by the province of British Columbia – an intervener in the case.

On the other side, Alberta was an intervener, arguing that the approval was based on a broad base of evidence that considered environmental, economic and Indigenous interests.

The City of Burnaby will be looking for a win in the case to erase the defeat it suffered last week when the

Supreme Court of Canada dismissed its appeal of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling.

The decision marked the 17th consecutive court ruling in favour of Trans Mountain, according to the Canadian Press.

The NOW interviewed Mayor Derek Corrigan about the court defeat, and he said a few frustrating things.

First, that he “wasn’t surprised” at the verdict.

“I don’t think we had high expectations of being successful,” he said, adding the city was compelled to go

to the highest court in the country despite its low odds.

“We want to exhaust our remedies.We don’t want to leave anything untried.”

For anti-pipeline folks, that’s admirable.

Generally, for taxpayers, we wonder if going after a long shot is the best use of municipal resources.We’re not saying don’t fight the pipeline in court, but lawyers aren’t cheap, so pouring money into a particular challenge that you admit you didn’t really think you’d win seems excessive.

The second frustration was Corrigan refusing to

say how much the city has spent in legal fees fighting the pipeline.The question was asked a couple of times, and Corrigan kept telling the NOW he didn’t know – even when just asked for a ballpark figure, such as if it’s more than $1 million.The mayor didn’t even offer to find out from city staff.

Corrigan also claimed the court cases aren’t a “burden” on taxpayers because the money is paid from casino revenues.That’s disingenuous of the mayor – revenue is revenue. Money taken from casino funds could be used to pay for a

variety of things that now either won’t get funded or will have to be funded through general tax dollars because the casino cash has been spent elsewhere.

If the mayor wants to use casino funds, fine, but taxpayers deserve to know how much is being spent on these court costs – especially when the city is throwing money at some challenges it doesn’t realistically expect to win.

Then again, perhaps the case will go the city’s way on Thursday. Maybe then the mayor will be in the mood to be more transparent.

Bernier split is good for Trudeau It’s unclear if the new political party promised by disaffected ex-Conservative MP Maxime Bernier will actually materialize, but if it does, it could strengthen Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s hold on B.C. Bernier is promising to field candidates in every riding in the country, so presumably he aims to install or have nominated someone in each of B.C.’s 42 ridings.

His plans may ultimately go up in smoke, a scenario the federal Conservative Party is clearly hoping happens because Bernier is a threat to that party more than any other.

He’s targeting the Conservatives, and a look at B.C.’s federal electoral map and the results of the 2015 election shows just why Trudeau will be cheering for Bernier to achieve his goals of coast-to-coast candidates.

In the last election, the Conservatives finished second in 12 of the 17 B.C. ridings won by the Liberals.

Also, the Liberals finished a close second to the Conservatives in several ridings.

Since any support for a Bernier-led party would primarily come from the Conservatives, his candidates will likely make existing Liberal-held seats even safer for that party, and perhaps allow a couple of Conservative-held ridings to fall into the Liberals’ hands.

So far, when it comes to specific issues, Bernier is confining himself to multiculturalism, immigration and supply management of some industries, nota-

bly dairy farming.The first two may have some resonance in parts of B.C., but it may also prove to be toxic in some ridings.

The riding of Richmond Centre is heavily populated by the Chinese-Canadian community, which may take a dim view of Bernier’s demand that the country reduce immigration levels.

The Conservatives’ AliceWong won that riding by fewer than 1,200 votes.

While it’s likely the “Trudeau wave” that swept much of the country last time won’t occur in the next campaign, he still gets mobbed by fans whenever he comes to B.C. The Kinder Morgan protesters who dog Trudeau when he visits B.C. leave a false impression that he is unpopular and under siege.

He’s not, and when contrasted with Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, he looks even better.

Scheer has a somewhat bland and uncharismatic style, which is safe but perhaps not good enough to grow his party’s support.

Singh is largely unknown and seems to be unable to connect with the electorate.

Given his weak counterparts,Trudeau will likely not need much of the help that could derive from Bernier splitting his chief opponent’s vote, but he’ll take it, especially when it could occur in a province so vital to his political interests.

Thief shoots at mall staffer

Lougheed Mall was the scene of a shooting in November, when a jewelry store employee was shot while pursuing a robbery suspect during an early-evening shakedown.

The employee at Goldsmiths Jewelry witnessed the theft and gave chase.

A couple of other shoppers, realizing what was happening, also joined in the pursuit. Once outside the mall, the suspect turned and fired upon the staff member, and escaped.

BFC has no chance Editor: Re: Burnaby civic party names team to tackle BCA dynasty, NOW online, Aug. 25 I am surprised that the Burnaby First Coalition thinks it has a chance to take down Corrigan’s Burnaby Citizens Association (NDP) machine. A political party with no website or recent social media presence (last Facebook post is from April 2017, on a page with only 190 followers) has absolutely no hope of reaching anyone under the age of 50. I haven’t checked Twitter, but I suspect crickets. So, how did they get the word out for their launch party? They should be signing people up for newsletters, seeking volunteers, addressing ways to make our city awesome. The BFC also has announced no candidate for mayor, with less than two months remaining.

Mike Hurley is the only mayoral candidate with any possibility of defeating Corrigan. I would suggest the BFC rallies behind Mr. Hurley, who is running as an independent, and keep the mayor candidacy blank on their slate. An official endorsement of Hurley would be the best chance to get some diversity in city hall. Then again, if the BFC ignores social media – and the existence of the interwebs – they may not be serious.

The upcoming civic election in Vancouver and Surrey gets lots of attention provincewide and even nationally, but almost nothing is heard from Burnaby. Nobody seems to know or care that there is a race on in our city. Is this because we have resigned ourselves to a perpetual CorriganBCA-NDP dynasty?

As a resident and local business owner, I think it is important to provide good access to public transit, including available free parking to promote people to use it. I wish that the city employees responsible for the poor decision to put meters in would be held “accountable” and have to pay for either the installation or removal of them.

Why should Burnaby taxpayers pay for this poor decision? Ever since the meters have been put into place, SkyTrain users (parking at) this station went down dramatically.

Turn on the Bonsor pools

Editor: The water pools that dominate the front outside of the Bonsor Recreation Complex have not been functional since at least 2008.

Bonsor is an integral component of Metrotown and sets an example to the rest of the community to take pride in our neighbourhood.

I don’t understand their neglect when the City of Burnaby proudly promotes their record cash reserves and ample developer community benefit bonus density monies, generated as a result of the many new developments in Metrotown.

Surely we can afford a few dollars to maintain this high-profile infrastructure at Bonsor.

Parking tickets shock resident kgawley@burnabynow.com

Ignorance of a somewhat obscure bylaw won’t get you out of a parking ticket, according to the City of Burnaby.

Forest Grove resident John Bathurst said he was surprised when both of his adult son’s vehicles were ticketed recently.

“It seems to be completely out of the blue,” he said.

The tickets were issued because the vehicles were parked on the street for longer than 24 hours without being moved. Bathurst said he has since learned of the local bylaw requiring owners to move their vehicles once a day.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION ISTOCK

The tickets each came with a $40 fine, if paid within two weeks. It’s an unexpected expense for Bathurst, who is a small business owner who hasn’t budgeted for vehicle storage fees somewhere else, he said.

Bathurst said he also noticed a ticket for the same infraction issued to a neighbour.

For 31 years, Bathurst said he has been parking his vehicle on the street for longer than 24 hours – even for

Foster group seeks advocates Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Dylan Cohen, a youth organizer with Fostering Change, wants to see youth who have aged out of care lobby for changes to the system. Fostering Change, which is part of First Call BC, a child and youth advocacy coalition, held a recent event in Burnaby to teach youth leaving foster care about advocacy for their peers, asking for comprehensive and universal support for all kids aging out.

“The goal is that youth can prepare to advocate strongly and tell the stories of growing up in the system,” Cohen said.

Fostering Change put out a report in conjunction with SFU and the Vancouver Foundation, called Opportunities in Transition, which is an economic analysis of investing in youth leaving foster care.

One study in B.C. indicated that 45 per cent of youth leaving foster care experience homelessness and 70 per cent deal with the justice system within the first year of aging out. Fifty per cent of street-involved youth with drug issues have been in foster care at some point. Former foster-care youth don’t have parents or family they can call when things go sideways, unlike other young adults, many of whom continue to live at home into their 20s.

Cohen grew up in foster care in Manitoba, but because he was able to access support, including emotional support and counselling, he could pursue a post-secondary education.

“I was able to get support, so I’m a success story,” Cohen said.

But this is not the case for the vast majority of youth aging out of care, he said, as many don’t have a high

school diploma. Many foster children move around every six months and get shifted from to school to school, so they can’t graduate from high school, Cohen added.

Only 32 per cent of youth aging out of care graduate from high school, as opposed to 84 per cent of the general population, while university graduation rates for former foster children is one-sixth that of their peers.

The B.C. government recently implemented a program to waive tuition fees for youth who have left foster care to pay for their postsecondary education until the age of 27.While this is a good thing, Cohen said it’s not enough.

“We have a system designed to support the most successful youth,” Cohen explained.

For more information, visit fosteringchange.ca/ youthlobby.

as long as a week when he went on vacation.

The city’s supervisor of parking enforcement, John Parkins, said the 24-hour restriction is enforced “almost daily” in Burnaby.

“It’s to prevent people from parking their vehicles for an excessive amount of time,” Parkins said.

Enforcement is generally prompted by a complaint from a nearby resident, he said.

Parkins said he understands that people aren’t always aware of the bylaws but the onus is on them to learn the rules.

He said Forest Grove has minimal parking and its streets aren’t meant to be used as long-term storage.

Vancouver Fringe loaded with Burnaby talent Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

The story of a Romanian escort who flees in a cargo ship container bound for Canada. A pop culture parody of Die Hard featuring 1980s tunes. A show starring two larger-than-life-vulvas contemplating their existence.

It must be Fringe time again.

The Vancouver Fringe Festival returns to stages around the city from Sept.

6 to 16. Over its 11 days, more than 30 different theatre artists and companies present more than 700 performances – with works representing a huge range of genres and subject matters, for audiences of all kinds.

Here are some Burnaby connections to this year’s festival: BOX OF FREEDOM Burnaby’s Adelina Suvagau wrote the production with Steve Saunders and her daughter Sonia Suvagau.The show tells the story of Dora, a Romanian censored comedienne, who flees her life as a high-class escort by escaping in a cargo ship container bound for Canada. Sonia Suvagau plays Dora. Actor Mika Doaga, who plays Alex, is also a Burnaby resident.

It’s on at Studio 1398 on Granville Island Sept. 7, 8,

9, 11, 14 and 16.

A CANADIAN BARTENDER AT BUTLIN’S and A SAD-ASS CABARET T.J. Dawe, who grew up in Burnaby, is the driving force behind these two productions. A Sad-Ass Cabaret is a two-person show, co-created with singer-songwriter Lindsay Robertson, Dawe’s partner. Robertson plays and sings, while Dawe does monologues between verses. A Canadian Bartender at Butlin’s is a solo show

by Dawe about a “horrible job” he held in England when he was 18 years old.

A Sad-Ass Cabaret plays at the Havana on Sept. 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 15. A Canadian Bartender at Butlin’s is on at the Firehall Arts Centre Sept. 7, 8, 9, 11, 15 and 16.

DIE HARD: THE MUSICAL-ISH This pop culture parody of the action film (which happens to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year) takes audiences back to Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas Eve, where NYPD cop John McClane must save the day against the German terrorists led by Hans Gruber – but with lots of laughs and favourite ’80s hits. It’s the followup to Hunger Games: The Musical. It stars Richard Meen as John McClane and Matthew D. Simmons as

by Wade and Burnaby actor Katie Purych.

It’s on at Carousel Theatre on Granville Island Sept. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15 and 16.

LIP SERVICE Created by Ashley Whitehead and Natalie TinYin Gan, Lip Service, as a synopsis bills it, “features two larger-than-life vulvas navigating their relationship to service, self-acceptance and sexual empowerment within a hilarious world of competition and ‘doing it all.’”

The two use their extensive dance backgrounds in a show that has seen them described by CBC as “two of the most gifted and funny physical performers at the Fringe.”TinYin Gan grew up in Burnaby – she went to Cascade Heights Elementary and Moscrop Second-

ary, then attended SFU on Burnaby Mountain.

Lip Service is on at the Firehall Arts Centre Sept. 7, 8, 10, 13, 14 and 15.

RABBIT HOLE Burnaby-based Frolicking Divas Theatre presents David Lindsay-Abaire’s award winning play Rabbit Hole, about a couple who have everything a family could want – until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down. It’s produced

by Braden Lock and Lori Watt, a Burnaby resident who also stars as Becca.

It’s on at the Vancity Culture Lab Sept. 6, 9, 10, 12, 15 and 16.

SELF-ISH Burnaby resident Diana Bang reprises her role in the one-woman play Selfish, in the story of Esther, a 30-something Korean-Canadian woman, who examines herself in the aftermath of a recent tragedy. It’s written by Kuan Foo and directed by Dawn Milman.

It’s on at The Revue Stage, 1601 Johnston St. on Granville Island, Sept. 7, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16.

SPINNING YOU HOME Sally Stubbs’ play tells the story of Sarah and Grampa, trapped inside as a storm rages on Salt Spring Island in 1958. It delves

into a haunting chapter in B.C. gold rush history.The play features four characters, performed by two actors. Burnaby actor Sarah Roa appears as Sarah Holdon and Sophia Cameron, alongside Simon Webb as Grampa and John ‘Cariboo’ Cameron. Roa is also responsible for costumes.

It’s on at the Carousel Theatre on Granville Island Sept. 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 16.

THE LADY SHOW Burnaby’s Diana Bang stars alongside Morgan Brayton, Fatima Dhowre

and Katie-Ellen Humphries in this show that features sketch, stand-up, monologue, satirical news and more, all designed to “put the joy in feminist killjoy,” as its billing says.

It’s on at Firehall Arts Centre Sept. 6, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 16. !

Live music on tap at Burnaby Steamworks

Burnaby residents are invited to join in the fun at an intimate concert at Steamworks Brewing Co. in September.

The Reid Jamieson Band is set to perform on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at Steamworks’ Burnaby taproom, 3845 William St. The band – the acoustic duo of Reid Jamieson and his songwriting partner and wife, Carolyn Victoria Mill – will offer up originals, classics from the 1950s to 1980s and a new tribute to Leonard Cohen.

Jamieson will be well known to many Canadian fans, having appeared regularly on CBC’s Vinyl Café and having recorded with such favourites as the Cowboy Junkies and Sarah Harmer.

Their show in Burnaby was booked and is hosted by Side Door, a new entity co-founded by singers Dan Mangan and Laura Simpson, which is designed to help promote intimate shows in small spaces – be they shops, studios or living rooms.

Seniors advocate’s report blasts private care homes Staff reporter

editorial@burnabynow.com

The numbers say privately contracted long-term residential care facilities don’t perform well and it’s costing taxpayers, according to a new report from the province’s seniors advocate.

In the report, Isobel Mackenzie said care facilities contracted by regional health authorities in B.C. are responsible for substantially more hospital visits and more than double the death rate in hospital when compared to publicly operated facilities.

“A consistent pattern emerges that shows a demonstrably greater use of the emergency department and hospital beds by residents from contracted longterm care facilities versus residents from publicly run facilities and a stunning 54 per cent greater likelihood that you will die in the hospital if you live in a contracted care facility versus a publicly operated facility,” said Mackenzie in a press release.

The stats covered a fouryear period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2016.

The data, pulled from the Canadian Institute for Health Information from 24 hospitals and 212 care facilities, shows seniors living in a care home operated by a contracted provider: • are 32 per cent more likely to be sent to the emergency department; • are 34 per cent more likely to be hospitalized; • have a 32 per cent longer stay in hospital; • have a 47 per cent higher chance of not returning to the care home; • and are 54 per cent more likely to die in hospital.

“At every turn, whether it is the decision to call the ambulance, the decision to admit the resident as in-patient, the decision on when or if to discharge the resident back to the care facility, we see the contracted care facilities persistently failing relative to the health authority operated facilities,” said Mackenzie.

The report says, if con-

This means we need to look at other issues related to the experience and continuity of the staff ... tracted facilities could match the performance of the public ones, there would be a $16-million annual saving and more than 15,000 additional bed days created for an already congested hospital system.

Mackenzie believes it would also reduce the risk of hospitals getting hit by infections or delirium, which the report estimates combine to affect half of frail el-

derly patients.

“Hospitals are not the best place for the frail elderly. Issues related to deconditioning and the anxiety of unfamiliar places and interrupted routines can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of the frail elderly population.We also know that most people want to die at home and for many of our frail and elderly seniors, ‘home’ is the resi-

dential care facility.With a rate more than double the public facilities we really need to ask why contracted care facilities are seeing their residents die in the hospital,” said Mackenzie.

The report notes the contracted facilities have fewer frail and complex residents than the public ones, yet they send more residents to hospital.

“This means we need to look at other issues related to the experience and continuity of the staff and the financial incentives for contracted care home operators,” said Mackenzie.

According to the report, private facilities pay lower

wages than the public ones, with only 54 of 184 private facilities paying the top wages and benefits of the master collective agreement.The lower wages, said the report, could mean less-experienced staff and more turnover, which could be a problem in providing continuity of care that has proven to link with better health outcomes, including lower hospitalization rates.

But, said Mackenzie, there’s no provincial data on staff turnover in contracted facilities, while there’s data to support public facilities having low staff turnover.

Health workshops at library

If you have questions, concerns or fears about dementia, you might want to get to know it better.

The Burnaby Public Library will host Getting to Know Dementia, a workshop reviewing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, on Monday Oct. 22 at the Bob Prittie Metrotown

branch (6100 Willingdon Ave.) from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a dementia-related illness, this session will provide information you need.

Participants will learn about the various supports available to them, including from the Alzheimer Socie-

ty of B.C. The workshop is free and open to adults and seniors.

The following Monday, Oct. 29, the library will host a workshop about nutrition and arthritis. It’s also free, but space is limited, so call 604-436-5400 to register.

Report was flawed, says BC Care Providers Association Continued from page 16 whether the contractual relationship between health authorities and care homes are appropriate because most operators receive the same amount of money whether the resident is in the facility or the hospital and that facilities are funded to pay higher wages than they are actually paying.

BC Liberal seniors critic Joan Isaacs, MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, said, while she appreciates Mackenzie highlighting issues that impact quality of care for elders, there should be options for seniors and their families.

“We have heard concerns from families who are being told there is a difference in the quality of care between public and privately operated care homes.This is irresponsible and adds needless concern for families,” said Isaacs in a release that points out the report notes there’s no difference between operators for most quality indicators.

A press release from the BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) blasted the report’s methodology for not using independent data and said the advocate does not substantiate whether the emergency department visits were inappropriate or not.

“Unfortunately, this flawed report appears to have been produced at the last minute and is filled with questionable suppositions and political buzzwords, rather than independent re-

search,” said BCCPA chief executive officer Daniel Fontaine in the release.

He also said it’s unfortunate the report can instill additional fear and uncertainty for seniors and families when transitioning into long-term care.

The release asserts, while the report advocates for increasing wages and benefits for care-home staff, it doesn’t say what the cost would be or where the money would come from.

“The issue of wages

and benefits for workers is something best dealt with through the collective bargaining process,” said Bob Breen, executive director of the Denominational Health Association, in the release.

“Furthermore, we expect the [office of the seniors advocate] to speak with organizations like ours not only to verify her claims, but to work with care providers to seek solutions as well.This is something we have not seen to date.”

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

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

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

Tony Parsons: a lesson worth hearing

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

Like so many other seniors, I’ve admittedly been reluctant to acknowledge the shortcomings that go with the aging process. You know what we’re like, after all we hear just fine! It’s not our fault if everyone else mumbles. I hear what I want to hear and that’s good enough for me. That’s when some friends convinced me to try the free hearing test at NexGen Hearing in Kelowna.

Audiologist Colin VanBergen and his team made the whole experience a pleasure and after the test I came to know that I do indeed have a rather significant problem with my hearing. Since then, I have seen an ENT surgeon and have gradually obtained knowledge. Both hearing professionals have patiently schooled me on some of the aspects of my hearing loss.

Today I’m now wearing hearing aids and yes, I admit now that I needed them years ago.

Consonants and I are becoming friends again and oddly enough…my wife doesn’t seem to mumble any more! Much to my surprise they are so helpful, discrete and quite comfortable. I spent years and years as a broadcaster with a hearing

Another rescue mission and thankfully no damage! How would I explain that to my Audiologist!?

So considering that 1 in 4 Canadians suffer some form of hearing loss, I urge you to not delay as I did. Call NexGen Hearing and take advantage of their free Hearing Test!

The dog ate my hearing aids Oh, and by the way, I’ve become so comfortable wearing my new hearing aids that recently I stepped into the shower still wearing them. Yikes! I realized it just in time, and yanked them back to safety.

Then I came close to losing them again. I had carelessly left them on a small table near the TV that I was watching and much to my horror Morley, one of my dogs, tried to make a meal of them.

Been getting the message?

Your untreated Hearing Loss affects the ones you love.

More words start with the letter ‘S’ than any other letter. But if you have a hearing loss it can feel as though those words have been removed from your hearing dictionary. You have probably also lost the ability to hear the letters; ‘F-P-K & T’. With untreated hearing loss, you won’t be hearing those words either. Hearing aids from NexGen Hearing can put the words back and make hearing easier.

Q & A with White Spot Executive Chef Danny Markowicz How did you get started as a Chef?

What do you love most about working at White Spot?

I attended S.A.I.T in Calgary and took the professional cooking program. I did my apprenticeship at the Banff Springs Hotel, and have been cooking ever since. As a child, my dad would take my brother and I grocery shopping Friday after school, and we would cook dinner. Unknowingly, those were my first “black boxes”.

The people are amazing. We have a strong connection to the communities we serve, and everyone is proud to work here.

We proudly serve over 30,000 people across this province, every day.

Everything local and Plant Based – people care where their food comes from and want to know what is in it! Also, alternative menu options are very popular right now. Plant Based seems to really be on people’s radar and it’s a great way to make choices that fit dietary needs as well as social responsibility.

Why did you want to become a chef?

At a very young age, I was led into the kitchen of my grandfather’s restaurant in Montreal. I can still remember the aroma if I close my eyes and think about it. That was all it took. I was hooked.

BACK TO SCHOOL CALM THE CHAOS ON BUSY SCHOOL MORNINGS Mornings can test the patience and stamina of busy families as adults and children hurry to get out the door on time. Starting off the morning already stressed can lead to feeling tense throughout the rest of the day. There is no magic formula to make mornings less hectic, but the following are some ways families can streamline their morning routines.

Make use of the night before. Morning madness may come about due to lack of preparation the previous night. The more that can be done the night before, the less there will be to do on weekday mornings.

Encourage children to lay out clothes for the next day and take a shower or bath that evening. Make lunches the night before a school day, and gather all supplies from homework stations, restocking backpacks and gym bags so everything is ready to go come the morning.

Foundation says school-aged children should get between nine and 11 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers require between eight and 10 hours of sleep per night, while adults need between seven and nine hours.

A good night’s rest can reduce morning crankiness and get everyone moving more efficiently.

Incentivize timeliness for kids. Children who are reluctant to head to school may need extra motivation to get out the door. Offer small rewards to kids when they get ready on their own or finish breakfast in a certain amount of time. Rewards can include a treat like choosing a favorite show to watch after school or a special outing on the weekend.

Stay organized. Racing around trying to find keys or jackets can be very stressful.

Make it a point to return items to their proper places so that everyone knows where to look for the items they need.

School mornings can be challenging, but with some ingenuity and forethought, the stress can be tamed.

Follow a schedule. Make mornings the same each day so everyone Get to bed earlier. Sleep experts say knows what to expect. Uniformity that if you need to rely on an alarm clock can streamline tasks and ensure to get up in the morning, you may not be everyone knows what’s expected getting enough sleep. The National Sleep of them.

BACK TO SCHOOL HOW DOES CLASSROOM DESIGN IMPACT LEARNING?

Adults who think back to their time in the classroom may remember arrangements of rows of desks and industrial-looking seating. Classroom design was built around students facing the chalkboard, and teachers typically placed their desks at the front of the room to keep an eye on their students. Such arrangements have steadily been on the way out as classroom environments are changed to promote learning.

According to the education resource The Professional Learning Board, different classroom arrangements have their own benefits and drawbacks. But the liberty to alter classroom layouts means teachers can experiment with what works for their teaching styles and which arrangements benefit their students.

While rows may enable educators to see all students and keep them focused, students in the back may miss out and/or lose focus.

Circle arrangements work well for class discussions, enabling all students to congregate around the teacher and participate in the conversation. ‘Circle time’ is a frequent component of pre-school and early elementary school lessons because it directs focus on the teacher and feels more intimate than laying the room out in rows.

Group seating is another arrangement teachers may explore. Desks are arranged so they form small tables. Students can work collaboratively

and discuss assignments. However, maintaining focus may be challenging when students are facing other students and may be more likely to chit-chat among one another.

A study involving fourth graders in Germany investigated whether certain seating arrangements promoted greater student participation. Traditional rows and a semicircular layout were studied.

Children in the semicircle asked more questions, but in both layouts, children who occupied central seating locations asked more questions and participated more per lesson.

Another study conducted in 2015 and published in the journal Building and Environment found that changing some elements of classroom design can increase student learning outcomes by 16 percent.

Educators are urged to see their classrooms from students’ perspectives to evaluate how design may be impacting learning. A few easy changes can add up to big gains for students and teachers alike.

Air quality, lighting and students’ sense of ownership of their classroom impacted the students’ abilities to learn more than seating arrangements, advises the study.

Giving children choices, including flexible seating options, such as bean bag chairs, mats or cushions, standing desks, sofas, or individual workstations, can help students find arrangements that are best for them.

Furthermore, teachers who rearrange furniture so that classrooms are cozy and inviting may see their students thrive.

Lighting also is an important factor, particularly when glare can impact the ability to see smartboards or personal tablets, which are now widely used in classrooms. Natural light is preferred in classroom environments. In fact, students in classrooms with big windows and daylight progress more quickly in reading and math than those in darkened rooms, according to a Heschong Mahone study cited in ScienceDirect. Overhead fluorescent lighting may interfere with student learning.

City now Pizza paves the way for juvenile diabetes research Burnaby residents helped Pizza Hut raise nearly $9,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation this summer.

The funds were raised as part of Pizza Hut’s annual participation in the Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes, which takes place in June.

In all, $100,000 was raised by 48 Pizza Hut restaurants in B.C., including $8,888 raised by restaurants here in Burnaby, according to a press release.

“The money raised came from the generous donations of Pizza Hut customers, managers and team members who purchased paper sneakers and participated in local fundraising events leading up to the walk in June,” noted the release.

All money raised during the fundraiser was donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which is dedicated to preventing,

Until Sept. 4, Staples stores in Burnaby will be raising money for the Salvation Army as part of the chain’s annual Staples School Supplies Drive, which raises funds for local charities, schools, school districts and other local community groups.

Since 2005, the annual fundraiser has raised more than $14 million, and this year’s goal is to raise $1.7 million, according to a press

Shoppers can make a donation of any amount at any Staples location in Burnaby, including Big Bend, 5821 Marine Way, and Brentwood, 4265 Lougheed Hwy. CAN YOU BUILD IT? This is the final week to sign up your team for CANstruction, an annual fundraising and food raising event that is running from Nov. 3 to 11 at Lougheed Town Centre.

Teams from across the Lower Mainland will compete to design and build structures made entirely out of nutritious canned foods. Construction happens on the first day (teams are given 12 hours to put their pieces together), and the finished products will remain on display for one week while the public votes for their favourite structure. All of the proceeds of CANstruction Vancouver go towards the food bank.

Since its beginning in 2002, CANstruction Vancouver has raised more than 1.3 million cans of food.

Tasty fundraising: Pizza Hut restaurants across the province raised $100,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation earlier this summer. The total funds included $8,888 raised by Burnaby locations.

Sports now SFU goalie thrives on competing for starting role

Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

Having served his goalkeeping apprenticeship under starter Miguel Hof for the past two seasons, you’d think Aidan Bain would feel a bit entitled to take his spot in the box for the SFU Clan men’s soccer team now that Hof has graduated.

Instead, Bain has spent pre-season training battling with three newcomers, two of them freshmen, and the third, Burnaby’s Luciano Trasolini, who transferred from Barton Community College in Kansas with a Vancouver Whitecaps’ residency pedigree.

That suits Bain just fine.

Bain, who played his club soccer with Surrey United and earned a trial with Aston Villa FC of the Premier League, said he thrives on the competitive atmosphere.

“You can’t really become too comfortable on this team,” Bain said. “There’s always someone coming that wants to get your spot.”

Bain said he spent his two seasons as backup to Hof learning how to be more professional about his po-

sition.That means paying strict attention to his diet, working on his strength and agility in the gym, and making sure he doesn’t succumb to some of the temptations of the student lifestyle.

“You just always have to be super strong on the field and off the field,” said Bain, who’s studying business.

“You take your job pretty seriously.”

Bain said a preseason trip by the Clan to Norway, where the team played some friendly matches against second-division club teams, was an important bonding experience for the team, including the competitors for the keeper’s job.

“We’ve definitely grown closer,” he said.

“You can’t perform together on the pitch if you don’t have chemistry off the pitch.”

That bodes well for the Clan, who are favoured to defend their Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship and head into the season 20th in the NCAA Division II rankings.

Bain said the European environment was also a chance for him to reconnect

DIVING SAVE: Aidan Bain is battling for the starting job for the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s soccer team. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL with some of the experiences he had four years ago when he spent a month with Aston Villa, which is based in Birmingham, England.

Bain said that tenure was pivotal in his development as a soccer player because

he saw the level of dedication and commitment it takes to achieve success in the sport and the rewards that can come with that.

“They definitely take it as a full-time job,” Bain said.

“But they have nice facili-

ties, they’re training on nice grass.”

With the Clan’s first six games of the season on the road, Bain expects his professional approach will serve him well, as it’s unlikely any of the four keepers will be

“It’s a challenge,” he said. “It makes you a better keeper in the end. If there’s no one to push you, you can become stagnant, so the stress is actually good.”
