Disgraced cop buried stabbing confession Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Vancouver cop recently sentenced for breach of trust and sexual exploitation decided not to tell Burnaby RCMP that one of his victims had confessed to stabbing a man in Burnaby in 2015. On June 8, 2015, a man was stabbed in a Safeway parking lot at 9855 Austin Dr. at about 10:30 p.m. Witnesses reported seeing a man and woman involved in a physical altercation with the stabbing victim, according to court documents. The pair then fled the scene in what turned out to be a stolen vehicle. A woman later told former veteran Vancouver police officer James Albert Stanley Fisher, who was working with the VPD’s counter exploitation unit at the time, that she had been the woman at the scene and done the stabbing, but Fisher kept that information from his RCMP colleagues. On Aug. 21, Fisher was handed a 20-month jail sentence and two years’ probation for breach of trust and sexual exploitation in relation to kissing a 17-year-old girl and a 21-year-old woman who had been witnesses in prostitution-ring cases Fisher worked on. In his sentencing ruling, Judge Robert Hamilton touched on the Burnaby stabbing. It turned out the 21-yearold Fisher kissed – referred to only as B because of a publication ban – and her ex-boyfriend had been the man and woman at the scene, according to court documents.

Scaled-back daycare plan moves ahead Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Overdue, overbudget and scaled back, the City of Burnaby’s plan to build child-care facilities is finally coming to fruition. City council approved a contract with Britco Boxx to build, deliver and install two modular buildings that will serve as daycare centres at local schools. Each building will cost the city more than $1.8 million. “I’m very happy to see this report coming forward.

2018

I’m very sad about the price,” Coun. Colleen Jordan said at a recent council meeting. The municipality has planned for a long time to create child-care spaces and lease them out to non-profit operators but has faced several setbacks. In October 2014, just over two weeks before the last civic election for mayor, councillors and school trustees, city council and Burnaby’s school board – made up entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association members – announced a

plan to triple child-care spaces in the city. The plan was for the city to fund the construction of 12 new facilities on school district lands, supposedly tripling the number of spaces in Burnaby. In November 2017, council approved $6 million in density bonus funds from developers for the first four buildings, creating 100 daycare spaces for toddlers on school sites (Capitol Hill, Montecito, Cascade Heights and Stride Avenue). Now, with less than two months to go before the

next election, city council has approved funding for construction of two of those 12 facilities. The delays and swelling costs have been out of the city’s control, according to Jordan. A 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision reinstated class size and composition rules and left school districts across B.C. scrambling to create more classroom space. That rush drove the market value of portables “through the roof,” Jordan said, and forced the city to

recalibrate its plans for the projects. Work on the first two buildings, slated for Montecito and Capitol Hill elementary schools, is expected to begin immediately. Two more facilities, at Cascades Heights and Stride, will follow, subject to further council approvals. Once the buildings are complete, the school district will be in charge of coordinating operators, with the city footing maintenance bills. Continued on page 4

He’s closing the book on school board service Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

As many of his longtime Burnaby Citizens Association comrades prepare to plunge into another municipal election battle, one veteran BCA school board trustee is already far from the fray. After serving more than three decades on the Burnaby Board of Education, Ron Burton has already moved to sunnyVernon, to play tennis, mountain bike, tool around on his motorcycle and care for his two-year-old grandson, while many of his former colleagues get ready to do battle on the hustings once more. “Yeah. I am jealous,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan, who was first elected in 1987, the same year as Burton. The veteran trustee said farewell at a public board meeting near the end of the 2017/18 school year. “It’s been an honour and a privilege to serve here,” an emotional Burton said in a few, characteristically brief words of farewell. Superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen, hired during one of Burton’s many terms as chair three years ago, called him “a man of great integrity and fairness, who has really left an indelible mark on public education in Burnaby.” BCA trustee Baljinder Narang lauded his mentorship, leadership and sense of humour. “Your one-liners have cracked us up,” she said.

EARLY DAYS Burton’s political career began nearly 40 years ago on theVancouver waterfront, when he first successfully campaigned to become president of the GrainWorkers Union Local 333 ILWU as a long-haired, handle-barmoustached 25-year-old. An EastVancouver native, Burton’s summer job at the docks had become permanent – and his academic aspirations at SFU curtailed – at age 17, when his mother was killed by a drunk driver and he was left to support his younger brother and sister. He soon joined the NDP in EastVan, however, and threw himself into the trade union movement. When he moved to Burnaby in 1982, Don Jantzen, former vice-president of IWA Local 1-217, encouraged him to join the Burnaby Citizens Association and run for the executive. “At that time it was the communists and the NDPers,” Burton said of the BCA. “I got along well with (the communists) and knew them all really well, so, when I ran, I kind of topped the poll.” When a seat came up on school board in 1987, he ran and won that too. After four earlier unsuccessful campaigns, Corrigan, a young defence lawyer at the time, also made his debut on city council that year. By that time, Burton and Corrigan were already good friends after years with the BCA.

Those were the days: A 1979 Grain Workers Union campaign pamphlet features a long-haired, handle-bar-moustached Ron Burton running for president when he was 25 years old. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“It was all about who you’d like to go for a beer with,” Corrigan said. “That’s the way it worked in those days. Ron and I were both the type of guys that people wanted to go for a beer with …We would sit down and we would talk about a broad range of issues… a lot of the time was spent figuring out how to run an organization because we were novices.” While Corrigan campaigned his way into the mayor’s chair, however, Burton stayed put on the board. Only twice did he consider moving up politically, he said: once for a council nomination in 1990 that he eventually deferred to Celeste Redman, who had been around longer and deserved the seat more than him, he said; and again after longtime Burnaby MP Svend Robinson stepped down in 2004. “There were rumours out there, and there were a lot of people trying to get me to run,” he said of 2004. “I was really interested because the labour (issues) I was interested in (were) federal.” Looking back, though, he said he has no regrets about not moving up the ranks. “You tend to get watered down and not be as effective at that level,” he said. COLLABORATION During 31 years on the school board, many of them

as chair, Burton worked with a total of 21 education ministers – on both sides of the political spectrum. Socred Tony Brummit, who worked with the district on the then-new Burnaby South Secondary in the early ’90s, was among the best and most accessible, Burton said, while ministers in Glen Clark’s NDP government were among the most difficult. “One thing I think our board has always tried to do is work with the government in power regardless of who it is,” he said. He admits his BCA colleagues on city council haven’t always followed the same dictum. “I think they’re more political,” Burton said. “We just feel that we can’t get stuff done unless we have help from the provincial government.” Provincial funding cuts, though, still stand out as the most challenging part of Burton’s years on the board. “Always the cuts were difficult times,” he said. Despite their diverging approaches to working with the province, however, Burton said the BCA school board and city council have enjoyed a uniquely fruitful relationship, leveraging the most out of projects, like new schools, that they’ve partnered on over the years. He credits mayors Doug Drummond and Corrigan

School district gets its ﬁrst rainbow crosswalk Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby secondary students were treated to a splash of colour on their first day of school – thanks to the district’s first rainbow crosswalk. The colourful crosswalk was installed in front of Burnaby Mountain Secondary during the summer. “I think it’s symbolic of the school’s commitment to ensuring that this is a safe space,” said social studies teacher Jyoti Panesar, Burnaby Mountain’s sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) lead and sponsor of the genders and sexualities alliance (GSA) club. Panesar said the idea of the crosswalk came from principal Lee Anne Kristmanson, who was looking for more ways to showcase the school’s inclusiveness. Burnaby Mountain grad Aibhlin Fowlie, leader of the school’s GSA last year,

loved the idea. “I think it shows kids who are part of the LGBT community that they can come into the school, that we have an active GSA; we have teachers that will help them. Kids that are in the trans, non-binary community can come in and be who they feel that they are,” she told the NOW. While Fowlie said she saw progress in her four years at Burnaby Mountain in terms of how LGBTQ students are accepted and supported, there are still challenges. “I think it is getting easier to be in high school and going through that process,” she said, “but of course there’s still people who aren’t as accepted and there’s still people who do have to ride it out.” The crosswalk, featuring eight strips of high-quality, non-slip epoxy paint, spans a driveway in front of the school’s main entrance. It cost $3,000 to install.

Workers sent home after pipeline ruling Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Federal Court of Appeal ruling that overturned government approval of the Trans Mountain expansion was felt immediately by workers on the project, according to their union. Within hours of the news breaking on Thursday, 120 members of the Christian Labour Association of Canada were sent home early, according to the union’s director of government and public relations, Ryan Bruce. Seventy-five of those workers had been working in Burnaby at the pipeline’s tank farm or the Westridge marine terminal, he said. “Officially, they were not

given layoff notices but you can imagine the uncertainty that this creates amongst the workforce and those that are relying on this project to support their families and pay their mortgages and feed their kids,” Bruce said. “They’re worried.They’re concerned about what their future holds.” Bruce said those 120 members expect to learn more this week about Trans Mountain’s plans. CLAC represents workers on five of the pipeline’s seven spans between Edmonton and Burnaby. Most of the individuals now out of work had been doing preparatory work for the expansion that had been planned to ramp up in the coming

months. Bruce said the number of CLAC members working on the expansion had

ident of Kinder Morgan Canada issued a statement confirming that the company was suspending construction related to the twinning of the pipeline that would nearly triple its bitumen-carrying capacity to 890,000 barrels a day. In an emailed statement, a Trans Mountain spokesperson did not answer specific questions from the NOW about the effect the court ruling would have on its employment numbers. “What we can say is – today, we have more than 2,000 people working for or on the project and by mid2019 we expected to have 5,000 people working on the project,” the spokesperson wrote.

City a ‘child-care desert’ Continued from page 1 Burnaby was declared a “child-care desert” – where kids outnumber daycare spaces – in a recent report. “Similar to the food desert concept, child-care deserts are postal code areas with three or more children per licensed space,” said a news release. Traditionally, B.C. municipalities aren’t responsible for creating childcare space in their community. Mayor Derek Corrigan said he anticipates his council will be criticized for spending money outside its mandate. “I hope that when the critics do start,” he said, “that they’ll realize that this is something that you should be encouraged to do, to step out of your normal mandate and try to accomodate a special need in your community that will support families.” City council is also considering a proposal to allow daycares in busy commercial areas, where they care currently disallowed.This would open up more lease space to daycare operators and could create more desperately needed childcare space in Burnaby. The proposal is expected to come before council for final approval at an upcoming meeting.

City now Cop ‘took an oath to uphold the laws’ Continued from page 1

At first, believing the woman to have been only a witness, Fisher gave her name, date of birth and phone number to the Burnaby RCMP. “Mr. Fisher told her that the police would definitely be contacting her and that it would be better for B. if she contacted the police first,” states the ruling. But, when the woman changed her cell phone number because she didn’t want to talk to police, Fisher didn’t provide her new number to the RCMP – even though he knew it, according to court documents. “If I find a way to reach her I will pass on your information and ask her (again) to call you,” Fisher told Burnaby investigators trying to reach her, according to the ruling.

The woman later admitted during an intercepted phone call to Fisher on Nov. 7, 2016 that she had been the one who had stabbed the victim in Burnaby. “I didn’t know that before,” Fisher had said to her, according to the ruling. “There’s no way I would have even said it if I did, but I didn’t know anything. I knew…that you were there and you said that you would tell them that you were there and that was it.” By that time, the woman was acting as a police agent for the VPD investigation into the kissing incident involving her. About a week later, Fisher told a Burnaby investigator he couldn’t recall exactly what the woman had told him. “Mr. Fisher did not tell the investigator that B. had very recently told him that she was the person who

stabbed the victim,” stated the court ruling. Hamilton said Fisher was not being sentenced related to obstructing justice. “Having said that, Mr. Fisher is an officer of the law who took an oath to uphold the laws of the land and keep the peace,” Hamilton said. “He had a confession from B. that she stabbed the Burnaby victim, and he did nothing with that evidence.”

B.C.’s foster kids deserve a much better future

If your child was close to graduating high school and we told you that there was more than a 50-per-cent chance that they would end up on the streets, in jail or getting addicting to drugs – you’d want to take action, right? You’d be in a panic, right? You’d be raising the alarm with those around you that everyone needed to pull together to make sure those bad things didn’t happen to your child. And yet, when it comes to foster children who are aging out of the government

system, it’s mostly crickets from the public - even though these innocent kids face an uphill battle just to survive. The group Fostering Change is the one sounding the alarm about foster kids. The group says that in B.C., an estimated 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.

It’s mostly crickets from the public - even though these innocent kids face an uphill battle. You see, 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. Fostering Change, which is part of First Call BC, is a child and youth advocacy coalition and its members

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. Fostering Change put out a report in conjunction with SFU and theVancouver Foundation called Op-

portunities in Transition, which is an economic analysis of investing in youth leaving foster care. According to the report, many foster children move around every six months and get shifted from to school to school, so they can’t graduate from high school. 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 the university graduation rate 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, Fostering Change said it’s not enough. More needs to be done to help children who are being victimized by a system they were powerless to avoid. For more information, visit fosteringchange.ca to see how you can be part of the solution.

No champagne corks quite yet Anti-pipeline activists may be doing handsprings over the high court ruling that quashed federal government approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline project, but they may want to wait a while before popping any champagne corks. In fact, they may never reach their ultimate goal of blocking that pipeline forever. That’s because there are only two federal political parties that have any hope of forming government in this country, the Liberals and the Conservatives, and both are staunch supporters of the expansion project. A close read of the lengthy judgment by the Federal Court of Appeal shows the court actually provided a road map of sorts for the federal government to get the pipeline project back on the rails. Much of the judgment is spent disposing of all kinds of arguments against the pipeline and actually sides with the federal government (through the National Energy Board) time after time, except for two issues. Of course, those two lapses – failing to consult meaningfully with First Nations and failing to include issues that arise from increased shipping tied to the project – are big ones, but both of them can be resolved to meet the court’s concerns, although it will clearly take some time. The ruling showed that while the NEB set up a good consultation process, it allowed it to become simply a note-taking exercise with

little two-way dialogue. Not good enough, said the court. It called for the government to engage in “dialogue meaningfully and grapple with the real concerns of the Indigenous applicants so as to explore possible accommodation of those concerns.” The government needs to simply show the court it made a genuine effort to deal with various concerns, and not simply compile a catalogue of them. The shipping problem may be more problematic - the court is rightly concerned about any negative impact that increased tanker traffic could have on the resident orca whale population in the Salish Sea. Technology continues to improve dealing with the problem of noise pollution (one of the chief threats to the orcas’ well-being). As well, because the NEB did not include shipping as part of the project, it did not spend much time on the orca issue. As chemist and blogger Blair King has pointed out, the pipeline project would add about 700 more tanker trips in an area that sees 23,000 ship movements a year. Arguments like that one will no doubt be part of the NEB’s next re-assessment of the pipeline, which may placate the court. That should comfort whoever is running the federal government by then, which is a big reason those champagne corks may never ultimately be popped. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Oakalla plan sparks protest

Despite a six-month delay in the public hearing process, opposition to a redevelopment plan for the old Oakalla Prison site was as strong as ever in January. More than 200 people showed up to a public hearing at the James Cowan Theatre to protest against B.C. Building Corp.’s planned 1,400-person development on the 49-acre site. Most of the speakers, citing concerns about traffic, lost views, lack of schools and pollution, wanted single-family housing or a park on the site instead of apartments.

Better lighting would make Central Park safer for walkers at night Editor: Re: Man raises safety concerns about Central Park, NOW, Aug. 29 Thank you for reporting on safety concerns about Central Park. Because I am too busy during the day, I need to walk at night in the Metrotown area where I live, and I have to say, I do not feel very safe in doing so. And I am certainly not the only one in this situation. I just talked to someone in my neighbourhood who definitely avoids walking during the night. Lighting plays a large role in the safety problem. This is a real issue that is certainly preventing many people from walking at nighttime. Many areas in my neighbourhood are completely dark. I love walking on that padded walking track on Central Park’s west side, but I can’t do it during the night because the Imperial Street section from the Willingdon extension to Mandy Avenue is like a black hole, and I personally avoid this area. Carrying a knife or any other weapons is not a real solution. Safety is the role of the police. The worse thing would be to become another armed population. In fact, safety at night is a big issue that goes beyond the Central Park area. Actually, it concerns all our cities. I think one of the main ways to improve safety is to increase street lighting.

Presently lighting is generally poor and needs to be dramatically improved. Distance between electric poles, in particular, needs to be shortened. The benefits of improving lighting are huge. It increases safety because it acts as a deterrent for possible aggressors, encourages people to walk during the night, making our cities more livable and, in doing so, safer. Improving lighting can decrease crime by up to 20 per cent and traffic accidents by up to 35 per cent, according to a source from World Bank. I hope these concerns and suggestions are heard by relevant officials and necessary changes made as soon as possible. Benyounes Saidi, Burnaby

It’s time the B.C. government stepped up with a poverty plan

Editor: Since our last provincial election, all three provincial parties have committed to implementing a poverty reduction plan. The people have given their mandate. We cannot allow deep poverty and the housing crisis to continue. We needed a plan yesterday, but now are looking forward to the implementation of an accountable, bold and comprehensive plan today. This is the need of the hour for our province. Our survival as a “Beautiful BC” for all depends on it. Sarah Long, Burnaby

Ask an NHL player to reflect on his first hockey memories, and you’ll likely see his eyes light up and a smile come across his face before he reminisces about long days spent on an outdoor rink. For many Canadians, those casual pickup games lay at the heart of their love for the sport. EA is trying to capture that essence in the latest instalment of its NHL video game franchise. Outdoor Ones makes its debut in NHL ’19, available on Playstation 4 and Xbox One Sept. 14. The gameplay pits online players in a one vs. one vs. one match lasting only three minutes. If you win, you get to move up from a basic parking lot rink, through three other increasingly prestigious and challenging rinks until you find yourself at The Ring – a mountain resort rink inspired by Lake Louise which the game’s creative director,Will Ho, describes as “the pinnacle.” There, a tournament champion will be crowned daily and rewarded with special cosmetic rewards such as jackets, pants and sticks to change the appearance of their player. On first day after a beta version of the game was released, the

daily winner played 174 games – meaning she or he logged nearly nine hours of continuous play. The rewards allowing players to change their avatar’s wardrobe isn’t always about looking good, Ho explains. Sometimes it’s just about standing out. “It can be ugly,” he says. “You can be silly.” EA Sports developers churn out a new version of the game every year. It’s hard to imagine how, given their workplace resembles a brand new university campus more than a typical workplace. With soccer, beach volleyball and basketball facilities – not to mention cafes and

restaurants – the company’s 1,600 local employees seem overwhelmed with potential distractions. But, Ho said, the NHL team is able to get its work done every year, motivated by a desire to make the popular game better. And, he said, their efforts have been unusually effective this past year. Ho said many players who got a taste of the new game in the beta release are already hailing the latest instalment as the biggest improvement in a decade. While Ho may have been reciting slick marketing copy for this reporter to eat up, it appears he wasn’t fabricating the claim. Many video game review-

ers seem to back him up. The NHL games have been rolling out annually for more than 20 years, but Ho said it’s not hard coming up with new ideas. “What’s great is our team is really passionate about hockey. So we have no shortage of ideas, it’s just a matter of when is the best time to actually bring it to the game.” NHL ‘19 will also have a completely revamped system for skating control and player collisions. Ho said the new features will mean players can skate like Connor McDavid and hit like P.K. Subban. “That really renews the gameplay,” he said.

BACK TO SCHOOL FINDING BALANCE WITH EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Many high schools, colleges and universities emphasize their goals of producing wellrounded students. Extracurricular activities teach students important life lessons, provide them opportunities to socialize and often stimulate their minds and bodies in ways that differ from the stimulation provided in the classroom. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau states that, in 2014, 57 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 17 participate in at least one after-school extracurricular activity. Children are more likely to participate in sports than clubs or lessons, such as music, dance and language, but each of these activities can be beneficial to students’ development. Students who participate in extracurricular activities may want to limit their participation to 20 hours per week. This is according to a group of professors from Stanford University and Villanova University who have been collecting data on the issue since 2007. In their report “Extracurricular Activity in HighPerforming School Contexts: Stress Buster, Booster or Buffer?”, Jerusha Conner and Sarah Miles found that 87 percent of kids who would be considered to have packed schedules were perfectly happy unless they were doing more than four hours a day. The “over-scheduling hypothesis” may be overhyped. This is the concern that too much organized activity participation leads to poor developmental outcomes. This hypothesis also

suggests that hectic schedules also undermine family functioning, detract from schoolwork and possibly increase the risk of copycat behaviors and excessive competitiveness. However, in the study “The Over-Scheduling Hypothesis Revisited: Intensity of Organized Activity Participation During Adolescence and Young Adult Outcomes,” researchers J.L. Mahoney and Andrea Vest determined that, controlling for demographic factors and baseline adjustment, extracurricular intensity was a significant predictor of positive outcomes and unrelated to indicators of problematic adjustment (e.g., psychological distress, substance use, antisocial behavior) at young adulthood. Even though extracurricular activities are largely positive - even when schedules are packed - parents need to be aware of the diminishing returns of too many activities. This is something called the “threshold effect.” Benefits from extracurriculars can level off when too many activities are being juggled. If a child is experiencing anxiety, sleeplessness or depression, or seems overly stressed, it could be time to reduce students’ time spent doing structured activities. It’s essential that families use the cues given by kids to assess what students can handle. And children should be encouraged to be honest with their parents about their extracurricular activities as well.

Hockey player is in the ﬁght of his life

GoFundMe campaign started to help ex-Burnaby player who’s recovering from brain surgery Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

A former Burnaby Winter Club hockey player who’s spent his life battling on the ice is now in the battle of his life. And friends in the hockey community around the world are rallying in support. Wade MacLeod underwent surgery Monday to remove a Grade 3 glioblastoma tumour from his brain. It was his second such surgery in two months and the fourth in the past five years. This time the stakes are especially high, said Mike Armstrong, a family friend who launched a GoFundMe campaign last weekend to help MacLeod’s young family cope with the expenses of his treatment, recovery and possible alternative therapies – a family that grew 11 months ago with the birth of his first child, Ava James. “He needs to do everything he can to get better,” Armstrong said. MacLeod, 31, played his minor hockey at Burnaby Winter Club. He then graduated to the Merritt Centennials in the B.C. Hockey League where he scored 105 points in 60 games in the 2006-07 season. That was fourth best in the league that year, not too far behind future NHLers Kyle Turris and Tyler Bozak. MacLeod’s NHL dream

never came true. But that didn’t stop him from trying. Or doing whatever he could and going wherever he needed to keep playing the sport he loves, Armstrong said. After playing four years at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass., where MacLeod also earned a business degree, he signed his first pro contract with the Springfield Falcons, then the American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Columbus Bluejackets. He scored three points in nine games, then improved the next season to 29 points in 66 games. But partway through MacLeod’s second full season as a pro, in a game against the Adirondack Phantoms on Hockey Day in America, he was hit into the boards by Phantoms’ forward Brandon Manning. MacLeod got back to his skates, then, as he made his way to the bench, he collapsed and went into convulsions on the ice. Medics rushed to help MacLeod and he was stretchered off the ice and then to a Springfield hospital.The game was suspended. The seizure MacLeod suffered wasn’t because of the hit. A CT scan discovered a tumour on the left side of his brain. It was about the size of a golf ball, but it was deemed noncancerous. A month lat-

FIGHTER: Wade MacLeod travelled across North America and twice to Germany to keep his hockey dream alive. But his career may be over after he had his fourth surgery in five years to remove a recurring tumour from his brain. A friend has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to help pay his medical expenses and support his young family. PHOTO LISA KING er doctors removed it in a four-hour operation that temporarily cost him the ability to speak. “It turned out to be a blessing,” MacLeod told the Springfield Republican newspaper of the hit that sparked his seizure. “It could have happened while I was driving and then who knows what would have happened.” After extensive rehab, MacLeod laced up his skates again, determined to resume his hockey career. But the Falcons thought otherwise.They didn’t offer him another contract.

Good times: Wade MacLeod and his young family, wife Karly and daughter Ava James, enjoy some downtime between hockey seasons. MacLeod’s playing days may be over, though, as the 31-year-old underwent his fourth brain operation in five years to remove a recurring tumour. PHOTO FACEBOOK

So MacLeod headed to Evansville, Ind., where he caught on with the IceMen of the East Coast Hockey League, a rung down hockey’s professional ladder, but a chance to prove to a team higher up that he could still play. He scored seven points in five games and the next season his former coach at Northeastern who was now an assistant coach for the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs got him a tryout contract for their AHL minor league team, the Toronto Marlies. MacLeod scored goals in his first two pre-season games, including a game winner against the Hamilton Bulldogs. He played 34 games and scored 15 points for the team before he was loaned to the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL. After another season in hockey’s hinterlands, this time in Boise, Idaho, with the Steelheads, MacLeod headed to Europe where he played for the Rosenheim Star Bulls, a second-division pro team in Germany. He had a good year, amassing 61 points in 50 games. But during the off-season, doctors discovered the tumour in MacLeod’s brain was growing back. In September, 2016, he had another surgery to remove the new growth and, just like before, he returned to the ice as soon as he was given clearance to resume train-

ing. In March, 2017, after three scans of his brain showed no regrowth of the tumour, MacLeod signed with the ECHL’s Allen Americans in Allen,Texas. “That was the best opportunity to win a championship, and that’s something I haven’t done yet in my career,” MacLeod told Americans’ broadcaster Tommy Daniels. “I’m here now, and I’m ready to play.” MacLeod scored 13 points in 13 games, a pointa-game pace he continued

For him to bounce back each and every time is inspiring for all of us.

last season back in Germany, this time with the Frankfurt Lions. Armstrong said MacLeod, who resides in Port Moody during the off-season, didn’t let the nomadic nature of his hockey career get him down. “He’s just the happiest guy,” Armstrong said of his friend, adding MacLeod started a hockey school with another former BWC Bruin,Tyler McNeely, who starred for the Burnaby Ex-

press. “He was giving back. He’s just a great guy.” In just four days, Armstrong’s GoFundMe campaign raised more than $85,000 of its $100,000 goal and generated an outpouring of support from fans and former teammates wherever MacLeod played. “I really hope we can see you again in Frankfurt,” said one message from Germany. “Northeastern Alum praying for Wade and his family,” said another. Armstrong said reaching out to MacLeod’s former stomping grounds was his first thought. “Wade’s a popular player wherever he goes,” he said. “He’s a great teammate.” Which makes the prognosis that MacLeod’s playing days are likely over that much more difficult. But that’s the furthest thing from anyone’s thoughts as he recovers and tries to regain his health and enjoy his family, Armstrong said. “For him to bounce back each and every time is inspiring for all of us,” he said. “He doesn’t deserve this.” WANT TO DONATE?

TAKING WING: Like most teenagers, the cedar waxwing goes through a gawky phase during its juvenile years, but once it matures it will look absolutely stunning with its adult sheen, according to the folks at the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. This is one of the few North American birds that specializes in eating fruit, and can survive off of it alone for several months. To attract cedar waxwings to your yard, try planting native trees and shrubs that bear small fruits. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT HOME SALES* Attached Detached

More than half of Generation Z wants to buy: poll Although the widespread perception is that today’s young Canadians are increasingly giving up on the dream of homeownership and planning to rent long term, the results of a new Re/Max-commissioned poll suggests that this isn’t the case. The survey by Leger of Generation Z young adults (18- to -24-year-olds) in B.C. and Ontario, published August 30, found the desire to own a home is alive and well – especially in Metro Vancouver. More than half (51 per cent) of Metro Vancouver’s young respondents said they would like to own a home within the next few years. That’s higher than in Greater Toronto, where respondents were more likely to say they’ll continue renting or living with parents for the foreseeable future. Overall, 46 per cent of Gen Z-ers said they’d like to be a homeowner in the next few years. However, that doesn’t mean the prospect of buying a home

in Canada’s priciest markets isn’t daunting. More than twothirds (71 per cent) of Metro Vancouver respondents said that they were stressed when thinking about buying a home – a figure that was even higher in the GTA at 75 per cent.

Buyers undereducated Re/Max’s survey also reported, “About half of both Gen Z groups in B.C. (50 per cent) and Ontario (45 per cent) agree they have limited knowledge of the housing market but are interested in learning more. This was especially apparent the hottest housing markets, with 57 per cent in the Greater Vancouver Area… feeling undereducated.” As Generation Z ages, this cohort of potential homebuyers is expected to outnumber Millennials within as little as a year, according to Re/Max. “As such, this generation will have a significant impact on the housing market over the next 20 years.”

OBITUARIES MYDSKE, Grant Paul September 12, 1957 - July 5, 2018 It is with heavy hearts that Grant’s family announces his passing on July 5, 2018, in New Westminster. He was predeceased by his parents, Hans and Kay Mydske. Grant is survived by his daughter Erin (Shane), and grandchildren Nolan and Molly. He leaves behind siblings David (Michelle), Marlene, Sandra (David), Phillip (Caroline), Kathy (Lorne), and Chris (Judy), and many nieces, nephews, and relatives. Grant will forever be remembered as a kind and gentle man, who had a smile for all. Even in the face of illness he showed strength and kept his sense of humour. Grant enjoyed spending time with family and socializing with his friends - he will be missed by many. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 16th, at 1:00 p.m., at Centennial Lodge, 103 Third Ave, New Westminster.
