BFC tries to shed past affiliations of its candidates But Heather Leung signed papers for an anti-SOGI advocate and won’t say if Pride flag should fly at City Hall Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby First Coalition is trying to distance itself from the past of some of its members accused of homophobia. But one of its candidates, who first entered politics by railing against school bullying protections for LGBT youth, signed the nomination papers of a scathing anti-SOGI activist this year and refused to take a stance on local issues affecting gay and transgender people. Heather Leung, seeking a council seat in the Oct. 20 election under the BFC banner, was a vocal opponent in 2011 of a school board policy designed to prevent discrimination against gay, lesbian and queer staff and students in

2018 / 2019

Burnaby schools. “What is being recommended in this draft is a deliberate and systemic strategy to indoctrinate our children with a controversial moral teaching that should be left for families to decide on and wrestle through,” she said at a board meeting in 2011. Leung served as the spokesperson for Burnaby Parents’Voice, a group formed to oppose the gayand transgender-positive policy. In November 2011, Leung unsuccessfully ran for school board alongside five others under the BPV banner, including current BFC candidate Charter Lau. But Leung told the NOW on Monday that her past political involvement has nothing to do with her current run for city council.

The interview came after BFC representatives took issue on several occasions with the NOW’s coverage of their party, when it mentioned Lau and Leung’s involvement in BPV. “Burnaby First Coalition, as a party, has no connection to Burnaby Parents’Voice and we are not a continuation of Burnaby Parents’Voice or any other party,” she said. This year, however, Leung signed the nomination papers for Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, a TV host and outspoken critic of B.C.’s sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) resource for schools, in her independent bid for Burnaby’s school board. Tyler Thompson has put the SOGI program at the centre of

her campaign. But Leung said signing Tyler Thompson’s nomination papers should not be seen as an endorsement of her views. “Like me, entering into politics takes courage, I know,” Leung said. “I have been the target of intimidation and have experienced bullying on numerous occasions, including media. If someone is willing to take on this challenge and they meet the legal requirement, I will sign their papers.” Asked how she came to sign the papers and whether the two candidates were friends, Leung said, “she knows people and I know some people and then we may have common friends and that’s it. And she’s famous as you know.”

Leung repeatedly refused to say whether she continued to disagree with SOGI policies. She said BFC had no official stance on the issue. BFC’s attempts to move past Leung and Lau’s political beginnings are not convincing to at least one queer former North Burnaby Secondary student. Serene Carter, who graduated in 2017, was part of the formation of the SOGI policy and said Leung’s decision to sign Tyler Thompson’s papers “is just as bad as saying the same thing she says.” She said SOGI school policies save lives, as they protect LGBT youth, who have above-average suicide rates, from bullying and discrimination.

Decisioncomingforat-riskBNSS Cornelia Naylor

A provincial government decision about the Burnaby high school most at risk of “widespread damage or structural failure” during an earthquake may be just weeks away, according to local school officials. The school district submitted a detailed $79 million business case this spring for a total replacement of Burnaby North Secondary School, and there are indications a decision on the project may be imminent. School board chair Gary Wong pointed to a proposal online for an architect to design the new building. “We’re very near to being able to make the announcement,” he told the NOW in an interview. In 2004, all local schools built before 1992 were assessed to see how well they would stand up to “the big one” - a catastrophic quake predicted by geologists when pressure built up between the Juan de Fuca and

EARTHQUAKE RISK: The Burnaby school district has submitted a $79-million business case for a total replacement of Burnaby North Secondary School. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR North American tectonic plates for the last 300 years suddenly releases. Twenty-four School District No. 41 schools were deemed to be at high or moderate risk of damage during a major quake.

The entire campus of 60-year-old Burnaby North is currently rated High 1, a designation assigned to the “most vulnerable” structures at “highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure; not repa-

rable after event.” “It is our number 1 priority for seismic replacement,” secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill told the NOW. “Burnaby North is a large school with a large population and had an H1 rating

on it so, when we were prioritizing our various seismic projects, we saw that as our highest priority.” Despite an announcement by the previous BC Liberal government that work on North would begin in 2014/15, the district didn’t get the green light to submit a detailed business case for the project until March 2017. For each seismic project, Horswill said the province requires districts to explore and cost out three options: strengthening the existing structure, partial replacement of the school’s highest risk areas and full replacement. “Generally speaking, the government pursues the least-cost option,” Horswill said. “When they do that, they look at both the capital cost and the life-cycle cost of the building over 40 years. So, how much is it going to cost to maintain it and all that stuff? In Burnaby North’s case, the request that we have for a replacement school was the lowestcost option.”

ANALYSIS

What happened to promised seismic projects? Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

What do making schools safe against earthquakes and building more daycares in Burnaby have in common? Both have been the subject of big election promises that have yet to bear fruit. More than five years ago, a month before the provincial election, then-Premier Christy Clark announced $584 million in funding for seismic upgrades for 45 schools, including Burnaby North Secondary. The 60-year-old school was listed for upgrades in 2014/15 in a press release that quoted Clark saying, “Absolutely nothing is more important than keeping our kids safe.” Five years later, actual dollars for the project have yet to materialize. It turns out the 2013 promise was an empty one, according to the education ministry. “The majority of these projects, including Burnaby North, did not have business cases under development or proper funding approvals in place when they were announced,” reads a statement from the

ministry to the NOW. The district didn’t actually get permission to develop a detailed business case for the project until March 2017. That plan, calling for a $79-million replacement of the school was submitted to the ministry before the summer break, according to the school district. “We are very near to being able to make the announcement,” school board chair Gary Wong said about Burnaby North. Wong was at a “celebration” for a $6.7 million seismic upgrade already in progress at Armstrong Elementary last week. The chair said the difference between the Burnaby board of education and the former BC Liberal government is that the school board is “reluctant” to make announcements until plans are finalized. Asked whether he thinks the current BC NDP government will handle such announcements differently, he said, “I would hope so.” “Different governments run things differently,” Burnaby-Lougheed MLA and minister of state for childcare Katrina Chen

told the NOW. “I don’t think it’s right to do an announcement before things are there, in place, funding is there.” Chen and Wong, however, were themselves involved in a big announcement made just before the 2014 municipal election that has failed to bear fruit. At the height of the campaign, Burnaby’s city council and school board – comprised entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association members running as candidates

– announced an ambitious plan to triple childcare spaces in the city starting in 2015. The school district was to supply the land and the city was to pay for the placement of modular buildings for the daycares. Wong and Chen were both part of that announcement – Wong as a trustee and Chen as a parks and rec commissioner. Four years later, not a single one of those daycares has broken ground. Wong said he had trusted

the city’s information on the project and that the city had run into problems, like a widespread shortage of portables for the plan. “We weren’t the ones to manage that project,” he said. Chen, meanwhile, said the board did its best to make the plan happen “as soon as possible.” “That announcement was made with good intentions; we really need to address child care … It did take way longer than we ever expected,” she said.

BFC won’t support any ‘bigotry,’ says candidate Continued from page 1 Asked what she would say to someone considering casting a vote for Lau or Leung, Carter said “I would tell them to really think about the lives and wellbeing of queer and trans youth.” When asked to respond to Carter’s comments, Leung said: “We categorically and emphatically [condemn] any form of bigotry.We don’t like bigotry.We are against bigotry, racism, violence and intimidation against any person or group due to any reason.” Leung did not give a clear answer when the NOW asked whether she would have supported a Burnaby city council decision to raise the Pride flag at City Hall this summer. “We will look at all proposals and approve them if they meet certain conditions,” she said. When asked what those conditions would be, she said “the organizer is willing to pay all the additional costs that are required.” However she seemed to walk back this statement, saying “Right now we don’t have a policy on this.” Soon after, Leung cut the phone interview short, saying she had to set up for a Mid-Autumn Festival event. She said she was unavailable the following day to answer further questions from the NOW. Mayor Derek Corrigan said he believes it’s important to know whether council candidates are accepting of a diverse community. “If you express intolerance, if you express racial discrimination, if you express a homophobic approach to people, you’re going to be judged on those words and I don’t think they can distance themselves from that,” he said of Leung and Lau. SFU political scientist Paddy Smith said the BFC candidates shouldn’t be surprised that questions are still swirling around their past political campaigning. “I think it’s hard for politicians to deny their antecedents,” Smith said. “What I observe, is them making an attempt to be more mainstream but I’m not sure it’s something that resonates terribly well.”

City now Mayor announces new cameras in Central Park Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby has installed cameras in Central Park in an effort to keep the area safe, Mayor Derek Corrigan announced at the Burnaby Citizens Association campaign office Tuesday. He said the new measure is an example of his party’s “ongoing commitment to ensuring Burnaby is a safe place to live, work, learn and play.” The mayor said the cameras will not be monitored live, but will be available as an investigative tool following crimes and act as a deterrent. Corrigan would not say how many cameras there are in Central Park, citing a concern that if the number were public, criminals would be better able to avoid detection. He said more cameras are coming to Central Park and may be installed in other parks. Craig Collis, the city’s as-

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Burnaby residents have no reason to trust the NEB

Now we know how the federal Liberal government will take the first step to try and untangle the mess that is the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion process. The feds announced that the National Energy Board has less than six months to redo its environmental review of the project – this time taking into account the impact of additional oil tanker traffic leaving Burnaby’sWestridge terminal. This is an attempt to address one of the two reasons the Federal Court of Appeal gave when it overturned ap-

proval of the project. The court said ignoring the issue of increased tanker traffic was a mistake. After all, it’s estimated the number of ships will increase to about 35 a month from the current five, meaning the risks to ocean creatures will go up substantially. So, what do we make of this announcement? It’s a sick joke because there is no reason to have any faith in the NEB – the agency that made the original blunder of leaving out tanker traffic. The court ruling savaged

the NEB, saying a “critical error” was made in regards to the lack of consideration of tanker traffic in waters around Burnaby andVancouver, and beyond. “The unjustified exclusion of marine shipping from the scope of the project led to successive, unacceptable deficiencies in the [NEB’s] report and recommendations,” said the court. And now we’re supposed to believe the NEB will get it right this time? The bigger overall issue is if the NEB can be trusted at all to be unbiased in

how it looks at energy projects. For several years now, starting with the Harper government, the NEB has been viewed as incredibly biased.There have been accusations that the Harper government was appointing people to the NEB who were too closely tied to the energy industry. In 2015, when the Liberals were in opposition, the party’s own environment critic, John McKay, was quoted as saying that the credibility of the NEB had sunk to historic lows with the Canadian public.Then,

in February of this year, the Liberal government announced it was scrapping the NEB and replacing it with a new process because the existing agency was illsuited to the task. So, once again, we ask, we’re supposed to believe that the NEB is going to suddenly, hopefully, magically get it right this time? Call us skeptical. As for the other problem outlined by the courts – improper consultation with Indigenous communities – Canada’s plans to restart consultations with Indige-

nous communities will be announced shortly. A source told The Canadian Press recently the government is looking at hiring a retired federal judge to help oversee those consultations with a view to ensuring they follow court-ordered processes exactly this time. Considering the awful history Indigenous peoples have had with the judicial system, we’re not sure how excited they will be dealing with a “retired federal judge” during this next phase of consultations, but here we are.

Rocky times for the feds and provinces

The threat by Ontario Premier Doug Ford to invoke the notwithstanding clause may have signalled that provincial governments could be prepared to take extraordinary moves to get their way. That could have profound implications for the relationship between the federal government and its provincial counterparts. The issues that mostly divide Ottawa and some provinces revolve around the broader issue of energy. For example, the Trudeau government is intent on implementing a climate action plan to fight global warming, likely including a carbon tax. Ontario and Saskatchewan have served notice they intend to fight such a tax with every tool in their arsenal, including legal challenges. Then there is Jason Kenney, leader of Alberta’s United Conservatives. Unless NDP Premier Rachel Notley can pull a rabbit out of an oil well, Kenney looks likely to win next year’s election. It should also be noted that Notley has pulled Alberta out of participating in any federal climate plan in response to the feds’ inability to get the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project built. The BC NDP government is trying to block that pipeline, although I wouldn’t put Premier John Horgan in the same category as Ford when it comes to being obstructionist to some of the Trudeau government’s policies. As I’ve pointed out before, Horgan needs Ottawa’s funding to help de-

liver on promises to build transit projects and address the housing crisis. Aside from their differences over the pipeline, Horgan and Trudeau appear to have a strong working relationship. Plus, B.C. already has its own carbon tax, and while the NDP government has dropped the concept that the tax was revenue-neutral, it still backs such a tax. Still, the prospect of three of the four provinces that lie between B.C. and the federal government being prepared to take on new levels of animosity to Ottawa may upset the provincial-federal apple cart, and that can have some blowback on this province. All provinces would love Ottawa to boost its share of health-care funding.The health-care system is become increasingly expensive. However, a deterioration of federal-provincial relations may affect Ottawa’s decision-making and timelines on issues such as health spending. Over time, the list could be a long one. Ford ultimately never invoked the rarely used notwithstanding clause, but he seems capable of being quite willing to invoke it on other issues. And Kenney seems more than willing to take the same kind of action to get what he wants. The next few years promise to be lively times when it comes to some provinces squaring off against Ottawa. Hopefully, B.C. doesn’t get caught in the crosshairs of this looming battle. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Seeing red over blue boxes

Residents in the Oakalla neighbourhood were the first in the city to get blue boxes for recycling, but not everyone was on board.The city delivered the $5 plastic blue boxes on people’s front porches with brochures to explain their use. But some residents asked the city to pick them up. “Vancouver had a few the same way,” superintendent of solid waste Joe Hoffman said. “Some people just threw them in the middle of the street. Not everybody is recyclers.” Hoffman said the city preferred picking the boxes back up to residents “throwing them in the ravines.”

Parking limits, buses and ‘rat runners’ making life difficult on Brentlawn Editor: Re: New street parking limits irk residents, NOW, Sept. 21 Recently, a letter was circulated to the residents of Brentlawn Drive by the City of Burnaby as regards changes to the parking restrictions on Brentlawn Drive. Currently, a resident may advise the bylaw enforcement of a non-resident that is parking in front of their property for more than three hours during the day, and the bylaw enforcement officer will issue a ticket to the offender. Residents may currently park in front of their own homes, unticketed, 24 hours a day. Brentlawn has had a long history of traffic issues with city hall relating to excessive traffic ratrunning through the neighbourhood, to the near 20 hours daily of Coast Mountain buses lumbering through the neighbourhood essentially empty but for a couple of runs in the morning and late in the day. Add to this the burden imposed on the residents that are now having to endure daily parking in front of their homes by the construction workers in the nearby burgeoning condo tower development that has despoiled the views and blocks the late afternoon sun for nearby residents. Add to this the further insult that now residents of Brentlawn Drive will be unable to park in front of their own homes for more than three hours at a time between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. or be subject to a

parking violation fine. What sort of solution is this? It serves no one and has been poorly thought out by mayor and council and inflicts a callous disregard on the taxpaying homeowners on Brentlawn Drive. Making Brentlawn Drive a restricted parking street will only force the construction workers that park on Brentlawn further into the neighbourhood as the parking restrictions only apply to Brentlawn Drive. As these homes in Brentwood Park were built in the 1950s, many homes only have a single-car garage. Multiple cars cannot be accommodated on these properties, and this will leave the innocent residents running a self-serve valet parking service in order to avoid paying expensive parking fines.

‘The nightmare is over’: Burnaby dad acquitted

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

*Warning:This article contains disturbing content. Sobs erupted in a Vancouver courtroom Friday when a man was found not guilty of murdering his seven-week-old daughter in Burnaby in 2015. Friends and family of James Travis Park cried and hugged him outside of the courtroom after B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk said he was free to go. One person could be heard saying, “The nightmare is over.” Park’s daughter died six days after being taken to hospital by ambulance on the night of March 1, 2015. An autopsy revealed her death had been caused by “significant” blunt force trauma to the back of her head, leaving the infant with a complex skull fracture and brain damage. The examination also revealed other injuries, including bruising to the right side of her forehead, a fractured rib, bruising to both ears and factures in her left and

right lower tibias. Park was arrested more than a year later and charged with second-degree murder in her death. During a 29-hour period in custody at the Burnaby RCMP detachment, he was questioned by police. “Waste of a life, f*****’ five seconds,” Park had said, according to a transcript. “What do you mean, man?” asked an interviewer. “What a waste of a life, for a decision that I made so quickly.” “You just snapped? Is that what you mean by it happened so quickly?” “Yeah.” “Was she crying?” “Huh?” “Was she crying?” “Yeah and I was f*****’ hammered, like beyond.” Park had been alone at home with his daughter on March 1, 2015, after his common-law partner, the baby’s mother, went to a yoga class and family friends went home. “In the Crown’s submission, Mr. Park had motive for committing the offence because his plan for

the night failed, leaving him frustrated and alone with a crying infant, when all he wanted to do was watch the hockey game with a friend,” Watchuk said in her ruling. But Watchuk rejected that

theory as “preposterous,” in light of evidence from the family friends, who testified Park had spent much of the evening playing with their children (then aged four and two) and not watching the game.When the children got noisy, Park had said they were just kids being kids, according to the friends.The friends further noted Park was capable of settling down his own daughter and indicated he was a loving father.

Prosecutors argued Park was the only person who could have been responsible for his daughter’s death because he was the only one home with her between the time the family friends left and a 911 call was made. Watchuk, however, pointed to evidence the baby’s mother had also been at the house for at least 13 minutes between getting home from yoga and the 911 call. “I find that Mr. Park did not have the exclusive opportunity to cause injuries to A,”Watchuk said. Watchuk further said the evidence presented by two medical experts didn’t establish whether or not all of the baby’s injuries were sustained during the same inci-

any time on March 1.” Ultimately,Watchuk ruled prosecutors had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Park had caused the death of his baby girl by an unlawful act. “Accident is, I find, a reasonable alternate inference to guilt on the facts of this case,”Watchuk said. “I reach this conclusion from the gaps in the medical evidence, the statement of Mr. Park, taken as a whole, including both inculpatory and exculpatory aspects, the evidence regarding the character of Mr. Park and the absence of motive.” Park declined the NOW’s request for comment. His lawyer, Richard Fowler said only, “It’s a tragedy.”

dent or what “mechanism” caused the injuries. “Dr. Orde and Dr. Dunham, both learned in their fields and witnesses of the utmost expertise, testified that they could not opine on whether the trauma to the head occurred when something hit Adriana’s head or her head hit something,” Watchuk said. As for Park’s statements to police,Watchuk said they were unreliable and pointed to his innocence as well as his guilt. For one thing, Watchuk rejected the idea that Park had been drunk – as he told police he had been – on the night his daughter was injured since “not one witness described Mr. Park as intoxicated at

A man in his 20s has been charged with theft, dangerous operations of a motor vehicle and failing to stop at the scene of an accident in relation to a stolen pickup truck that crashed in Burnaby Friday. The black Ford F150 truck was reported stolen in Langley in the early morning hours of Sept. 21. Police caught up with it at about 2 p.m. in the 3800 block of Nithsdale Street at Smith Street after it crashed into another vehicle stopped at a controlled intersection, said Burnaby RCMP. The driver and two passengers in the other vehicle were taken to hospital with minor injuries and later released, police said. There was only one person in the pickup, according to Burnaby RCMP. Kaymen Wesley Winter, 24, has now been charged in relation to the incident. He was taken into custody “through a coordinated effort which involved officers from Langley RCMP, Surrey RCMP, Burnaby RCMP, New Westminster Police,Vancouver Police, and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, and Air 1,” according to a Surrey RCMP news release. Burnaby RCMP got involved when the suspect entered Burnaby, according to

Volunteers tackle garbage on Fraser shoreline Burnaby woman at the helm of ZeroWaste Canada, which works to reduce garbage

Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

The front bumper of a car, a plastic chair, large chunks of Styrofoam, a bicycle wheel, a car tire, cigarette butts, a Tim Hortons plastic cup, roofing tiles and a water-logged double-sized mattress – these were just some of the items found at Thompson’s Landing Park in Queensborough on Saturday morning by a group of about 25 volunteers. Connie Reichelsdorfer, the executive director of Zero Waste Canada and a Burnaby resident, point-

Trash is so easy; it’s easy to put it in the garbage and then it’s gone

ed out the small bits of plastic from cigarette packaging and candy wrappers that were littering the ground under the overpass and by the shoreline. Birds will eat the plastic and they’ll get lodged in their stomachs because they can’t be digested, she said. “If they have too much plastic (in their stomach), they will die,” she added. “They can also choke on it or get caught up in string. The eco-system will get “out of whack,” she added, if too many animals die both in the oceans and on land. Her message to humans:

“We’re all in this together, we’re all in the same environment.” Zero Waste Canada encourages people, through participating in events and through education, to not only recycle but to actually reduce consumption. A shoreline cleanup around Burnaby Lake was also conducted on Saturday by volunteers. Martin Lowe and his nine-year-old son Max dragged a water-logged mattress to the pile of refuse that was growing on the sidewalk under the highway overpass.The father-son pair had found remnants of a camp with empty food containers, clothing and a blanket. “It’s kind of sad people are living by the water,” Lowe said. “It makes you realize that people are roughing it.” The Lowe family came to help out at the Queensborough Shoreline Cleanup, organized by the Queensborough Special Programs Committee. With plastic buckets and long-handled garbage pickers, the volunteers picked up small non-organic items that pose a risk to wildlife. This is the eighth year the shoreline cleanup was held in Queensborough, and while the numbers were much smaller than a record of 118 a few years ago, the volunteers found plenty of garbage along the shoreline and under the overpass. Several volunteers were also pulling invasive plants, like blackberries and English ivy that were choking out na-

Allowing the native plants to grow deep roots stabilizes the riverbank, explained one of the organizers, Karla Olson. Lisa Egan, who is a member of the Queensborough Special Programs Committee and one of the organizers, found large chunks of Styrofoam that she thought were coming off boats that ply the waters along the New Westminster neighbourhood.The Styrofoam chunks were small round pieces pressed together, but they can crumble and head out into the ocean as the tides go in and out, she pointed out. “This stuff should be illegal,” she said, showing three large chunks she collected.

This year, in an effort to keep the event zero waste, volunteers were asked to bring their own mugs, and instead of using plastic bags, there were buckets for collected items.There were no disposable latex gloves, rather rubber gloves, and food providers who brought snacks were asked not to bring any single-use items with them. Miriam Castro came from Langley with her husband to help in the cleanup. She has been in cleanups around the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. “Everywhere you go you see so much trash – it’s nice to be part of that not just in our community, in Langley, but we try to go to other

communities and take part in all the cities in B.C.,” she said. “I really think our society is on a linear path – trash is so easy; it’s easy to put in the garbage and then it’s

gone,” she said. “We should have a more circular mindset where we reduce and reuse things and really take care of our planet.”

SFU study busts myth about bearded pilots Air Canada pilots are now allowed to have facial hair after hypobaric chamber study found oxygen masks will still work on neatly trimmed facial hair Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Air Canada pilots may soon start sporting beards thanks to a study conducted in Simon Fraser University’s hypobaric chamber atop Burnaby Mountain. Until last year, Air Canada and several other airlines required pilots to have a clean-shaven face, reasoning

beards would interfere with the seal on an oral-nasal oxygen face mask. In fall 2016, however, Air Canada retained SFU’s Sherri Ferguson, director of the university’s environmental medicine and physiology unit, and her team to research the efficacy of face masks on different beard lengths. “We had two objectives,”

Ferguson said in a press release. “First, we had to determine if present-day equipment used in the Canadian commercial airline industry delivers sufficient oxygen to protect a bearded pilot from hypoxia during an emergency cabin depressurization scenario.” Hypoxia occurs when the body doesn’t get enough oxygen and can damage the

brain and other organs minutes after symptoms appear, rendering a pilot incapacitated or unconscious. “Secondly, we had to find out whether the mask provides sufficient protection against carbon monoxide and toxic fumes should the cabin become smoke-filled from fire,” Ferguson said. The researchers divided research participants into three groups: those with stubble (less than 0.5 cm in length), those with medium-sized beards and those with long beards (up to 40 cm).

Wearing masks supplied by Air Canada, the study subjects were put into the university’s hypobaric chamber, which then simulated altitudes from 10,000 to 25,000 feet above sea level. The researchers measured the participants’ oxygen saturation levels at every altitude change, because a drop in the oxygen saturation levels would indicate the masks are leaky and unable to maintain a proper seal. For the second test, the researchers used stannic

chloride, which causes watery eyes as well as a burning sensation in the lungs, to simulate fire smoke. The researchers found the masks maintained protection, irrespective of varying amounts of facial hair. That doesn’t mean Air Canada pilots will soon be sporting ZZ Top beards, but the airline has changed its facial-hair policy to allow aircrew to wear neatly trimmed facial hair up to 1.25 centimetres in length.

Celebrating Seniors

Do you know a senior struggling to pay the rent?

B.C. government has expanded eligibility requirements and increased benefits with SAFER If you’re a low-income senior, you may be qualify for rental assistance programs offered by the province. As part of the British Columbia government’s 30-point housing plan, the province recently announced it was expanding the eligibility requirements and increasing the benefits under the Rental Assistance Program and Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER). Effective Sept. 1, 2018, more low-income families and seniors will be eligible for additional assistance to help with their monthly payments in the private market.The average monthly payment for SAFER recipients will increase by approximately $78, or 42 per cent, from $187 to $265. “Many seniors are struggling to pay their bills, and some are even forced to

choose between paying for medications or paying rent,” Anne Kang, parliamentary secretary for seniors and MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake, said in a press release. “These are decisions no one should have to make, and our government is working to make sure life is affordable for seniors, so they can stay in their homes and communities.” SAFER provides direct cash assistance to eligible residents, who are aged 60 years or over, to assist them in meeting their monthly rent payment in the private market. Isobel Mackenzie, British Columbia’s seniors advocate, said seniors have been seeking SAFER increases for a long time, so these changes will be very welcomed by the 23,000 seniors in B.C. who receive the grant.

“Many of the seniors we work with are having a tough time making ends meet,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, executive director of the New West-based Seniors Services Society. “The increase to SAFER subsidies is great news for seniors

on a fixed income across the province who have been struggling to pay their rent.” In addition to the SAFER grant, the province also announced changes to a grant program for low-income families. Through the Rental As-

sistance Program, the maximum gross household income to qualify for benefits is being raised from $35,000 to $40,000. At the same time, the average monthly subsidy for recipients is increasing by approximately $67, or 17 per cent,

from $405 to $472. For information about the Rental Assistance Program and SAFER, go to www.bchousing.org and search for Housing Assistance.

Celebrating Seniors

Celebrating family caregivers Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Family and friends of aging people with medical issues often play an important and underappreciated role in their care, according to Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society program coordinator Dorothy Leclair. That’s why, she said, her organization will host a Family and Friend Caregivers Day next month to celebrate those devoted individuals and provide them with much-needed resources.

The inaugural event will run from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the society’s outreach centre at 2055 Rosser Ave. Fortis will provide energyefficient CPAP ventilators and Save-On-Food Pharmacy will provide free flu shots, she said. A series of three expert speakers will provide information about dementia and will be available for free and private 15-minute consultations on a first come, first serve basis. Leclair said informal caregivers are being increasing-

It’s in the hundreds of thousands of hours … ly relied upon as the population ages and some services fail to keep up. “It’s a growing role,” she said “It’s in the hundreds of thousands of hours that family and friends provide.” She said she hopes the event becomes the first of

many that support caregivers, who often feel alone in their role caring for loved ones with dementia, mobility issues, heart disease, visual impairment or other medical issues. “It can be an isolating experience when you are less in charge of your own timetable,” Leclair said. She said the event will also aim to get a snapshot of the needs of caregivers and those they care for, so the Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society can better support them.

Make your health wishes known ahead British Columbia Notaries are urging seniors and baby boomers to plan ahead for potential health surprises. As National Seniors Day (Oct. 1) approaches, the B.C. Notaries Association is advising seniors and baby boomers to ensure their health-care wishes are clearly and legally documented in case they develop an unforeseen health condition where they can’t speak or care for themselves.They note that many people wait until it’s too late – and leave their loved one unprepared to make decisions on their behalf. Because most people over age 55 are healthy and active, the association says this is the optimal time to capture their instructions, while they are still physically robust and legally of sound mind. “As notaries we often see previously healthy clients, even in their 50s and 60s, who are facing a critical illness diagnosis or have

recently been diagnosed with dementia who want to put plans in place for their health care and sometimes, sadly, it’s too late,” Daniel Boisvert, president of the B.C. Notaries Association, said in a press release. “Health issues can be surprising, particularly when you’ve always been active, and create a very stressful time for those diagnosed and their loved ones.We strongly recommend planning before a major illness strikes, so you have time to carefully consider your options.” According to the association, this advice applies to everyone, but it’s particularly important for the many seniors who are living alone or with a partner to whom they’re not married. A report from Statistics Canada’s 2016 survey showed that 33 per cent of women and 17 per cent of men over age 65 live alone, while seven per cent of couples live with their partner outside of traditional marriage – a

56 per cent increase since 2011. “Seniors who are living common law, and particularly in new relationships, may have legal ties to previous partners and, of course, to their own children,” said the press release. “Regardless of how complex or simple these relationships might be, identifying a decisionmaker without clear direction can create confusion, hurt feelings and inconsistency with an individual’s actual wishes for health-care measures, financial decisions, and distribution of property. Legal fees can also escalate.” According to the association, similar issues exist for people living alone because a spouse would typically make such decisions on their behalf.When these wishes are not clear, the court can step in and appoint a decision-maker, who is unlikely to be aware of the individual’s own intentions.

ADVERTORIAL

Presbycusis: The Trouble with Treble Dr Ted Venema

Audiologist/Teaching Professor

By far the most common hearing loss is called Presbycusis. It sounds a bit like “Presbyterian,” doesn’t it? Presbyterian means “church of the elders.” “Presby” is Greek for the word “elders.” At about age 40, one has difficulty seeing close up. This is called Presbyopia, which means “vision of the elders.” Presbycusis means “hearing of the elders.” At around 65 years of age, many people say they can hear, but just have trouble with clarity of speech. The complaint will be “People are mumbling. I can hear, but just cannot always understand what’s being said.” Conversations one on one, and in quiet, won’t be too difficult. Hearing problems will occur however, when someone is speaking from another room, or when the face of the talker cannot be seen, or when there is competing background noise. Why is this? With Presbycusis, hearing for low-pitched (bass) sounds is typically better than hearing for high-pitched (treble) sounds. The degree or amount of treble hearing loss does not have to be very much to cause difficulty. In fact, the treble hearing loss is usually moderate in degree. Treble hearing loss causes difficulty distinguishing words that sound alike.

People with Presbycusis have difficulty hearing highpitched treble speech sounds and so they have trouble hearing which words were said. They’ll rely on their eyes and on the context surrounding the words in question, to help along in conversation. This can be rather tiring. Is it any wonder that they feel out of it, and want to simply be left alone? This is not living the quality of life that they deserve. We should do something about it. The good thing here is that with good, trebleemphasis hearing aids, we can! Dr Ted Venema earned a BA in Philosophy at Calvin College and an MA in Audiology at Western Washington University. After working for three years as a clinical Audiologist at The Canadian Hearing Society in Toronto, he went back to school and completed a PhD in Audiology at the University of Oklahoma. He was an Assistant Professor at Auburn University in Alabama. In 2017, Ted began teaching in the new Hearing Instrument Practitioner program at Douglas College in Coquitlam BC. He continues to give presentations on hearing, hearing loss and hearing aids.

After graduation, she plans to continue her own practice as a contemporary interdisciplinary artist and to continue to write for publications. “I would love to combine my love for writing and literature with my art practice,” said Tjahyana.

The work, billed as “an encounter between dance and theatre,” is brought to the stage by Amber Funk Barton and Mindy Parfitt. am a is described as “a playful encounter between audience and performer, between technology and human physicality, between true stories and science.” Barton and Parfitt are exploring how identity is constructed in a multidisciplinary work that includes personal text, scientific writing, dance and song. As part of their ongoing experiment, the two artists are trading disciplines: Barton, a dancer, sings, while Parfitt, a theatre artist, dances. “We premiered am a last year at the Cultch, and we are so excited to return to this work and deepen the exchange of our practices,” Barton said in a press re-

City now Venturing down the garden path Gardening with Mark

When it comes to garden design, we would never lead you “down the garden path.” At least, not in the sense of going astray. However, we often ignore the very paths that lead us through our garden.That is, until all else is planted. A garden path that functions at its very best is an integral part of a garden scheme. Fall is an excellent time of year to plant and, by extension, it is a wonderful time of year to consider where your paths lead. Why a path at all? The path not only provides a guide for your feet, it also leads your eyes.Where does your path lead your eyes? There are two primary goals in creating a path: to lead the eye to a destination, or to lead around a corner. DESTINATION Nothing moves people down a path like a place to sit. A park bench or permanent, comfortable garden chair at the end of a path

pulls the visitor through the garden, with a reward at the end. Many other garden features can motivate people to move down a path. A water feature works like magic. A large piece of art or statuary can be powerful motivators too.

MYSTERY If you choose to hide the destination around a corner, make sure that the path is sufficiently wide to make the trip tempting and easy to navigate. Changing the colour of foliage at the corner can help to create some intrigue about what is out of sight. A bird feeder or bird bath can work too. WHAT IS IT MADE OF? The material that you use to create a path is as important as where it goes. A layer of pea gravel announces the visitor’s arrival with a crunch. Not a bad idea when there is a skunk lurking around the corner. Patio slabs are making a comeback.They are generally framed in gravel or fine bark mulch and the path it-

self bordered by stone sets or bricks half-buried on either side of the path. Framing concrete slabs in this way takes your attention away from the slabs and settles your eye on the landscape. Flagstone is making a come back also. Random flagstone looks great with creeping thyme or Irish moss growing between the slabs. Grass can be a path. Many gardens are so intensely planted with trees, shrubs and flowers that a narrow strip of grass becomes a break and an invi-

tation to walk through the garden.There is virtually nothing as cool as walking on green grass bare foot (or not), and it is generally easy to maintain. GO HOME The one cardinal rule of paths is this: it should always lead you home.The more walking through gardens we do, the more sensitized we become to the green world around us.This is the real world, and the path will bring you home from this escape to reality.

Winning, honour motivate Burnaby wrestler Justina DiStasio is among Aboriginal athletes honoured in new B.C. Sports Hall of Fame display Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In the flash of a firm hold and a double-leg lock, Burnaby’s Justina DiStasio has put her share of rivals to the mat. As a member of Team Canada, she’s done it at home and abroad. Her aim is to continue that journey and stand in Tokyo at the 2020 Olympics wearing red and white. This week it’s a different spotlight she’ll be sharing, when the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame unveils its Indigenous Sport Gallery, that includes DiStasio’s photo alongside so many other athletes from Canada’s First Nations. “It’s so cool. I’m Aboriginal but I never really like talked about it, because I grew up in the city and no one ever asked me before,” said the 25-year-old DiStasio. “They wanted me to be a part (of the gallery), and I just felt so honoured. It’s very cool and my whole family is so excited.” Being able to reflect on who she is, her heritage and be included in a group of great athletes is adding another chapter to her considerable story. Growing up in Coquitlam, DiStasio didn’t give wrestling a try until Grade 8, and, even then, it was a difficult landing. Over time, the teen found a symmetry with the sport as well as success, winning provincial titles for Port Moody Secondary. Training with the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club and Simon Fraser University women’s program, DiStasio garnered more experience and wins en route to a host of titles. Along the way, there were some tough losses, like in the 2016 Canadian Olympic team trial. Absorbing that defeat at the hands of world and future Olympic champion Erica Wiebe was a tough pill to swallow. But DiStasio saw it for the medicine it was – and motivation. “I was devastated losing the trials.The day (Wiebe) won the

Olympic medal I was on crutches, in my living room watching her because I rolled my ankle at practice that week. I was like ‘Wow, I can either sit here and be super bummed that now I have to beat an Olympic champ, or I could be proud that a Canadian won, and I was. … It inspires me to do great things. “I also had to look at it more as a positive challenge; that to get out of the country I had to be so good that I have to beat an Olympic champ, and, if I can do that, I believe I belong at this level.” DiStasio admits the confidence side is where she’s made the most strides. Now, preparing to compete in the 72-kilogram division, after years in the women’s (Olympic) 76kg, she takes it as an opportunity to face new rivals and add to her list of moves.

“You do wrestle a lot of the same people and that’s always a challenge. My first year on the national team in 2015, no one knew how I’d wrestle, so I could catch

them with my best move. Now everyone knows my best move, so you have to find different ways to get to it, and learn other moves and make them just as effective,” she said. It is her determination and resilience that is part of a grand display at the Indigenous Sport Gal-

lery in the Hall of Fame. Her mom’s roots harken to Manitoba’s Norway House Cree Nation, a long journey at the northern end of Lake Winnipeg. Summer trips back there are distant memories now, as someone who is a committed member of the national team as well as an assistant coach with SFU’s women’s wrestling program. Being part of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame’s newest display – which officially opens today (Wednesday) and includes artifacts, memorabilia, stories and images celebrating the rich history of sport by First Nations and Metis athletes – is truly special. “The gallery is huge, and taught me about the amount of Aboriginal athletes in B.C.,” said DiStasio. “I didn’t even know there were so many people around.”

Just as when she was invited to talk and demonstrate some pointers at Norgate Community School in North Van for the Xwemelch’stn community, DiStasio loves how wrestling has opened up new opportunities and responsibilities for her. Recognized as a strong role model, DiStasio aims to build on both that and her wrestling portfolio along the way to her goal of becoming a teacher. “I have my goals and one is to be a better person off the mat than I can ever be as a wrestler,” she said. “This is just more exposure to more people who can hold me accountable to being someone who contributes a positive thing.” The Indigenous Sport Gallery Exhibit, presented by Canfor, will open to the public Sept. 26 at the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, Gate A at B.C. Place, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily..

Offence hammers home a familiar tune for Knights Steve de Lazzari knows that the bigger tests are still ahead. The schedule has been fairly easy so far, but the St. Thomas More senior football coach is still basking in his team’s strong start to the B.C. AAA season. Following Friday’s 41-0 victory over the Mount Boucherie Bears, the Knights are showing they are deserving of some provincial poll love. For the team’s coaches, that kind of stuff is just pe-

ripheral noise; but as a program implementing a new offensive scheme, these successful early steps are cause for cautious optimism as the No. 5-ranked STM build a case to be a playoff force. “Our execution, that’s what I’m most pleased with (so far),” said de Lazzari. “We’re playing within our system and improving each game.” That offence capitalized on its first possession and built up a 28-0 lead before the second quarter began.

The trio of quarterback Dario Ciccone and receivers Michael Simone and Vasco Repole, childhood friends, made hay of the Boucherie secondary. Simone scored two majors on catches of five and 22 yards, while Repole scored a lengthy 70-yard touchdown. Ciccone, meanwhile, carried in one major and went eight-for-11 for 130 yards. “We had a couple of explosive plays,” noted de Lazzari. “The chemistry be-

tween Dario,Vasco and Michael is pretty strong.” The Knights also got touchdown runs from Rickey Parsons and Julian Valerio, as the team improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play. Defensively, Simone corralled a pass interception and Matthew Lemp recovered two fumbles. Over the first three games, STM has only surrendered one major and demonstrated momentum and growth each week.

However, the meat of the schedule is approaching, and the team will proceed without last year’s conference defensive MVP Sam Steele after he suffered a broken leg in a non-football accident last week.They expect the two-way star to miss a month of action. “(Steele) is what I call our heart and soul,” said de Lazzari. “He’s such a vital and integral part of our team, that it’s going to take everyone to fill his spot.” Their next game, against

winless Centennial on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lakes, doesn’t have the cache of a big game, but de Lazzari knows the trap those kinds of contests lay. “You still need to prepare and focus and play them to your best ability.We have (No. 1-ranked Lord) Tweedsmuir in two weeks, but we can’t look past (Centennial). “We don’t know where we measure up until we play the Tweedsmuirs, the (Terry) Fox’s.”

Clan on a roll

They weren’t going to let it rain on their parade. A pair of goals in the game’s first 24 minutes was just part of an onslaught as Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team trounced the Saint Martin’s University Saints 6-1 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference action on Saturday. The Clan were in complete control, even before Mamadi Camara’s gameopening salvo at the sevenminute mark. Sixteen minutes later, they made it 2-0 when Burnaby’s Rahid Rahiem threaded a pass to Matteo Polisi, who slotted it past St. Martin’s keeper. When the Saints’ John Cayman was red carded for a slide tackle on SFU’s Connor Glennon, the visitors were given another advantage over their hosts. Unfortunately, the home team used it as motivation to score its lone goal five minutes later. But SFU replied and would expand its lead in the second half with tallies by Camara, Glennon,

with two, and Polisi. The Clan, who improved to 8-0-0, host Concordia University on Thursday, 7 p.m. at Terry Fox field.

NO GOALS, NO WIN A hot goalie and some frustrated feet were the big take-aways from a tough defeat last week for SFU’s women’s soccer team. The Clan were unable to solve the Western Washington University Vikings on Saturday in a 1-0 loss in Bellingham, dropping SFU’s record to 3-3-0. Scoring chances by senior Katelyn Erhardsen and Jenna-Lee Baxter were turned back in the first half, and the stalemate was only solved in the 82nd minute when WWU’s Dayana Diaz delivered the decisive tally. Freshman SFU goalkeeper Nicole Anderson made four saves in the loss. The women visit Seattle Pacific University on Thursday and host Central Washington on Saturday (3 p.m. at Terry Fox field).

CELEBRATION POINT: Simon Fraser University’s Tessa May, Betsie de Beer, Julia Tays and Jayme Bratsberg celebrate a point

during Saturday’s 3-0 sweep over the University of Alaska Nanooks. The Clan got a match-high 13 kills from outside hitter Kirsten Pinkney, 40 assists from Tays and a pair of aces and seven digs from Burnaby’s Bianca Te to even their GNAC record at 3-3.

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

Burnaby rental price rises are far outstripping rent-control increases With tenants across the province deeply concerned about the allowable annual rent increase in B.C., it seems median rental prices in Burnaby have climbed at an even higher rate over the past year. Rental website PadMapper’s September monthly rent analysis has median onebedroom rents in Burnaby pegged at $1,650 in August, the third-highest in Canada after Toronto and Vancouver. That price is 8.6% higher than in August 2017. Two-bedroom rents in the city are up 6.1% to $2,260, also the third most expensive in the country. For comparison, the allowable annual rent increase for sitting tenants is 2% plus inflation, which in 2018 totalled 4% and in 2019 is currently slated to be 4.5%. Added to those rent hikes are any

increases made by landlords on units between tenancies, which are currently at the discretion of the landlord and not government controlled. Apartments coming onto the rental market for the first time can also push up median prices. The analysis was published just days before the B.C. Rental Housing Task Force issued its recommendations to the provincial government to reduce the allowable annual rent hike to inflation only, which would bring it down to 2.5% in 2019. Under the new proposal, landlords who would be unable to meet running costs under such a formula would be allowed to apply for an as-yetunspecified additional increase, but only if they could prove their case.

MEDIAN SALE PRICE**

The current inflation-plus-2% formula has been in place for 16 years and is seen as outdated. “It’s a formula that we’ve been told by renters has been making life increasingly unaffordable for them as the cost of living, plus 2%, keeps going above their ability to pay, as their wages have not kept pace,” said Spencer Chandra Herbert, chair of the task force and NDP MLA for Vancouver-West End. However, there was no suggestion of restricting landlords from upping the rent by their chosen amount between tenancies, which could be achieved by attaching rent control to a unit instead of to a lease.

Lois lived in many Saskatchewan communities growing up as her family moved regularly with her school-teacher father through the tough Depression and War years. The family moved to White Rock, B.C. (1949) where Lois graduated from Semiahmoo High School (1952) and from the Vancouver General Hospital School of Nursing (RN, 1956). She met Irwin at a curling game between the Stewarts and the Stapletons on New Year’s Day in 1954, and the incredible team of “Lois and Irwin” was joined in marriage in September of 1956.

COMING EVENTS

Mom and Dad were two prairie kids who wanted to experience the world and they chose first to advance Irwin’s medical training in both England (1957-1961) and New York (1961-1963), before they settled in New Westminster in 1963. Here Mom became an integral part of the community while raising her family she organized sports club and school trips and fundraising ventures, organized and supported Rotary activities, hosted and counselled Rotary Exchange students, led family vacations, and more. Their love of travel and their shared passion for contributing to others led Lois and Irwin to set up itinerant medical clinics in many locations in remote parts of B.C., the Yukon, and the world. They led teams of health professionals and other volunteers to Africa (Zimbabwe and Uganda in particular), Fiji, and Thailand but also explored and enjoyed Australia, China, the Philippines, Bali, India, Mexico and Pakistan, making lifelong friends everywhere they went. Rotary, an integral part of Mom and Dad’s life and volunteer efforts, supported many of their overseas medical projects and recognized Lois as a Paul Harris Fellow for her many contributions. Amidst her many accomplishments, Lois was committed to her children and her eight grandchildren - creating magical times together; cheering them on in their many activities of lacrosse, hockey, basketball, dance, track and field and more; sharing some of her special places with them (Whistler, Sakinaw Lake and Wenatchee cherry orchard) and even taking them on trips to Disneyland, Africa, Australia and Fiji! Support from the family and her incredible care-giver, Karen Cavaleri, helped Mom in her later struggles with Alzheimer’s disease, as did the dedicated staff at the Kiwanis Care Centre. A Celebration of Lois’s wonderful life will be held at Kearney Funeral Home Chapel, 219-6th Street, New Westminster on Saturday, September 29th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either the Rotary Foundation of Canada (PO Box 493, New Westminster, B.C., Canada V3L 4Y8) to support ongoing health care work in developing nations or the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
