Letpeople addmore rentalspace: Councillor Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

With movement made on a long-requested policy change that could make way for more rental home space in Burnaby, it appears campaign promises of a new way of doing things at city hall have come true.

“New council, new people, perhaps more acceptance.”

That’s how Coun. Pietro Calendino explained his decision to propose a motion at Monday’s meeting that would “direct staff to pursue, on a priority basis, amendments to the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw that will facilitate construction of full cellars in single- and twofamily dwellings.”

Burnaby currently restricts the amount of livable space allowed in a home in relation to the size of the lot on which it sits.This requires some homeowners to keep space in their basement as a crawl space filled in with sand, rather than convert it into a suite.

At an August council meeting, Burnaby resident Gurjit Jawandha pleaded with then-Mayor Derek Corrigan to change the rules. Jawandha said he had built a suite in his home to accommodate his children’s grandmother, who planned to move in and help take care of the kids.

The city found out about the suite and told him to demolish it and fill it with sand, he said.

“This is just wrong,” Jawandha told Corrigan.

But Corrigan showed little sympathy for the man who admitted to knowingly violating the bylaw.

Barnet crash being called ‘foul play’

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Police are trying to piece together the events that led to the killing of Burnaby woman last week.

On Friday, Nov. 16, first responders were called to the 8000-block of Barnet Highway around 10 p.m. after an SUV hit two light posts and crashed into the ditch.

When police arrived at the scene they found a man unconscious inside the vehicle.

There was also a woman lying nearby who appeared to have been thrown from the vehicle during the crash, according to a press release.

Burnaby RCMP initially reported that the crash was suspicious and that the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team had been deployed to help investigate.

Police have since confirmed that the woman’s injuries were “indicative of foul play,” according to the release.

The victim has been identified as Nicole Hassel-

City charges up EV pilot project Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is launching a pilot program to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout the municipality.

The new infrastructure will hopefully make life easier for electric car owners, encourage others to consider buying an electric vehicle and, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a city staff report.

“The EV market is expected to continue to grow rapidly over the coming years, but the rate of uptake will still depend in large part on the availability of charging,” reads the report from the city’s director of planning and building, Lou Pelletier, and the director of engineering, Leon Gous.

On Monday, city council approved the report authorizing staff to start the first phase of its pilot program.

Beginning in 2019, the city plans to install charging stations in parking lots at four or more of its existing facilities – potentially including community centres, recreation centres and libraries.

The city has set aside $140,000 for this initial phase, with each “Level 2” charging station expected to cost between $12,000 and $20,000, the report says.

According to the city report, a Level 2 charging station uses a 208V or 240V outlet and can generally be installed in locations with standard electrical infrastructure. “This is the most widely deployed type of EV

charging today, and is suitable for home, workplace and public locations,” the report says.

Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V wall outlet but is becoming less common as it charges vehicles relatively slowly, while Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) stations charge vehicles much quicker but are more expensive – $50,000 to $100,000 per unit – according to city staff.

Staff say Burnaby is con-

centrating on installing Level 2 stations right now, but will consider DCFC stations in the future, especially if it can secure funding from other sources, such as BC Hydro and Natural Resources Canada.

Charging at the new stations will not be free.

“Best practices suggest that charging a fee for the service of EV charging is appropriate, as it helps to ensure parking space is not taken up by vehicles that are

not utilizing the charging,” the report says.

Under the current rules in B.C., municipalities and landlords can charge for EV charging but private companies cannot, as it is considered “reselling electricity,” according to the report.

Earlier this year, Burnaby’s city council mandated all new residential developments to include EV charging outlets.

Now the city is focused on providing charging in-

frastructure to residents of existing homes, the report says.

“In the absence of such charging opportunities, purchasing an EV may not be a viable option for many citizens,” the report says.

The pilot project for public charging stations will roll out over the next two years, with further plans for charging stations on public streets and in commercial areas to come in a subsequent report.

Councillor wants to know costs of ditching LRT Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Many unanswered questions are swirling around the future of transit in Metro Vancouver, with new mayors in Vancouver and Surrey trying to alter the region’s 10-year plan in the hopes of getting more SkyTrain lines in their cities.

A Burnaby city councillor wants an answer to one of those unknowns: How much will it cost local taxpayers if plans for a Millennium Line extension to UBC and SkyTrain to Langley go ahead?

Coun. Dan Johnston brought forward a motion

during a Monday council meeting, asking city staff to study the costs and report back.

“I’m curious what that’s going to cost Burnaby,” he said. “I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but I think there’s going to be cost implications to the city.”

The city is not directly affected by the proposed new infrastructure, but its citizens will likely have to carry some of the financial burden via increased TransLink fares and various taxes, Johnston said.

He said he supports new Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart’s plan to extend the new Broadway line all

the way to the UBC campus, rather than have it end at Arbutus Street.

Johnston said he’s less convinced about the plan from Surrey’s new mayor, Doug McCallum, to scrap plans for light rapid transit in favour of SkyTrain. Millions of dollars have already been spent on engineering studies for LRT, but last week the regional Mayors’ Council voted to suspend those plans and start planning for a new SkyTrain line through Surrey.

“Sometimes I think politics cost us millions more, sometimes politics make a better decision. So it’s kind of mixed,” Johnston said.

IN BRIEF

Dhaliwal voted to chair Metro board

Burnaby Councillor Sav Dhaliwal shocked the local political world last week by being named as chair of the powerful Metro Vancouver board.

Dhaliwal won election to the position by beating out longtime Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in the process.

Normally a position held by a mayor, Dhaliwal takes over from retired Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore to be chair of the regional government that covers 21 municipalities, one treaty First Nation and one electoral area. Metro Vancouver has a budget in the hundreds of millions and it manages regional parks, much of the region’s water system and regional growth strategies.

Brodie has an extensive resume as Richmond mayor.

Dhaliwal was elected to Burnaby council in 2002 and has been re-elected for four consecutive terms since. He has served on the boards of Metro Vancouver, Federation of Canadian Municipalities and as president of the Union of BC Municipalities.

Man charged in theft of poppy box A Burnaby man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a poppy donation box in New Westminster.

The theft happened on Nov. 8 at the Royal Canadian Legion branch on Sixth Street in New Westminster.

Police say the suspect entered the Legion around 2 p.m., ordered food and as he was paying at the counter, tucked the poppy donation box into his coat.

By the time staff noticed the box was missing, the man was gone.They found the empty donation box outside, according to police.

Last week, New Westminster Police released surveillance footage of the suspect in hopes someone in the community could help identify him.

On Tuesday, police arrested Dwayne Edward Zbucki in Vancouver.

The 54-year-old Burnaby resident has been charged with theft under $5,000.

COURT

Divorce judge carves up couple’s ‘lavish lifestyle’ Court hears about drug abuse, Rolex watches, fancy vehicles and plastic surgery during divorce hearing

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The ex-husband will keep his Mercedes sports car and Ducati motorcycle, the exwife her luxury handbags.

Both will keep their Rolex collections.

So ruled a B.C. Supreme Court judge in the divorce case of a Burnaby couple this week “who enjoyed a lavish lifestyle that was beyond their means.”

“If their marriage had not broken down and had they remained together, they would have had to face the consequences of their excessive spending,” stated Justice Paul Walker.

The pair, now in their early 40s, eloped in Hawaii in 2006 and threw a $70,000 religious wedding soon after.

Her diamond ring cost him $25,000.

They bought a big house in Burnaby; their kids went to private school; they had a live-in nanny/housekeeper. “(The husband) paid for all expenses to maintain his wife and children and their home, which for a time included a live-in nanny/ housekeeper. He paid for renovations to their matrimonial home, luxury items such as their MercedesBenz vehicles, their respective Rolex watch collections, L.W.’s luxury handbags and jewelry, luxury vacations to Mexico, NewYork, the Dominican Republic, Hawaii and Europe, Canucks

hockey and Whitecaps soccer season tickets, numerous dinners at local highend restaurants, and their respective cosmetic surgeries and medical and dental procedures (including liposuction, body sculpting, and dental veneers),” stated Walker’s ruling.

Then they hit a “significant rocky patch,”Walker said.

“Each party provided different accounts of what caused their marital difficulties. (She) blamed it on (his) substance abuse and

The couple ‘enjoyed a lavish lifestyle that was beyond their means.’

(he) on (her) uncontrolled spending,” wrote the judge.

The pair separated in November 2016.

There was no acrimonious custody battle, according to the ruling, but the division of the family assets, spousal support and child support was a different story, with the former couple squabbling about money throughout the trial.

She accused him of hiding assets and exaggerating their shared debts, some of which she said she didn’t

find out about until the divorce proceedings, while he said she should have gone back to work long ago – even before they were separated.

In the end,Walker ordered them to sell their $2 million Burnaby house “forthwith” and divide the proceeds equally – with each paying the other out for things they wanted to keep, like the Mercedes, the Rolexes and the luxury handbag collection.

Walker said the woman was also entitled to $20,000 of her ex-husband’s $40,000 tax return as well as $95,000 on account of a condo owned by his business.

But a $1.2-million debt the man said his company owes to a third party was to be his alone, ruled the judge.

Based on the documents and evidence presented by the ex-wife’s lawyer,Walker found that the ex-husband likely did have assets beyond the $400,000 that he disclosed.

“I find on the balance of probabilities that it is at least $1.5 million and more likely the $1.947 million reflected in counsel’s analysis,”Walker said.

He also ruled the exhusband’s income-earning ability was likely about $80,000 a year higher than he claimed.

His child- and spousalsupport payments were assessed accordingly.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Be careful who you listen to in the PR debate

Premier John Horgan and BC Liberal Leader AndrewWilkinson recently went head to head in a televised debate over the ongoing referendum on electoral reform.

The TV event was not exactly a high watermark in political discourse, as the two men repeatedly shouted over top of each other.

It also involved our premier embarrassing himself by using the words “woke” and “lit” in a sentence.

The BC NDP is pushing for voters to adopt one of

the three systems of proportional representation on the mail-in ballot, while the Liberals are hoping citizens will stick with the current system, first past the post.

Unanimously, the crowds agree.The debate was a solid win for people who enjoy attacks over substance.

They accuse each other of simply using the referendum as a means to better their chances of holding power in the future. And they’re both totally correct.

This is why we would ask the electorate to get in-

The debate was a solid win for people who enjoy attacks over substance. formed by sources that don’t have partisan self-interest at stake.There’s no shortage of opinions, of course.This newspaper has lost count of the number of letters to the editor it has received in the past few months from people around the province giving their

thoughts on prop rep – but it’s definitely in the hundreds.

Based on this huge volume of letters, you’d think the vast majority of people in B.C. are ready to make a decision.

But you’d be wrong. According to the province,

only a small fraction of ballots have been returned so far – Burnaby’s turnout is in the low single digits – which means plenty of you have yet to make up your minds before the Nov. 30 deadline.

Elections BC has published an excellent voter’s guide and videos on their website, which we would recommend as a good starting point.

There are benefits and drawbacks in any system – stability, proportionality, local representation, simplicity and collegiality.

Your decision should be based on your big picture values, not your hopes for who forms government. As history has taught us, the political lay of the land is bound to change regardless of the system we have.

Getting informed and casting a vote is a civic responsibility on par with paying your taxes and filling out the census. Ultimately, this is a question of who will represent you in government.

All we ask is that you first represent yourself.

INBOX KEITH BALDREY

PR will have deep impact on parties The two grand political coalitions that have governed B.C. for almost 70 years could undergo a dramatic transformation if the switch is made to proportional representation.

Both the BC Liberals (the natural successor to the old Social Credit party) and the BC NDP would look radically different under PR. The Liberals would naturally split along a liberal-conservative fault line, while the NDP would likely evolve further into an environmental activist party that sheds the union and industrial roots that formed it in the first place.

For a glimpse of how a PR system could affect the NDP, look no further than the results of the last election. A PR system would have rewarded the Greens about 14 to 16 seats, considerably more than its current three.That would have given the Greens a lot more power in any power-sharing arrangement it could reach with the NDP. For starters, the Site C dam would not have been completed.The huge LNG Canada investment would have been kicked to the curb.The Greens oppose both projects.

And those union-friendly labour code amendments that are on the horizon?

Bye-bye.The Greens would likely be fine with some of them, but not with moves like getting rid of the secret union certification ballot.

A political partner with 15 seats has a lot more power than one that has just three. As I have pointed out before, the confidence

agreement the Greens have with the NDP required absolutely no bending by the New Democrats.

Everything in that agreement reflected the NDP’s platform, not the Greens’.

However, under a PR model that kind of imbalance would surely disappear.

As for the BC Liberals, a PR model may yank them into the politically dire neighbourhood of social conservativism.

The BC Liberals, as a big tent coalition party, have been able to hold those social conservatives – anti-gay rights, anti-abortion – largely in check over the years.

Social Credit was also able to do that until the moment it could not and that’s when the party imploded.

That occurred in the late 1980s, when then-premier Bill Vander Zalm tried to ban publicly funded abortion services, a move that tore the party apart.

A price the Liberals may have to pay to hold power under any PR system may well be to court any Conservative party that has those social conservative elements within its small tent.

Banning abortion outright would not happen, but softening things like protective bubble zones around medical facilities might.

Big tent political coalitions do not last forever, of course. A number of factors can lead to their demise, but make no mistake – a shift to PR will hasten their disappearance or their radical transformation.

Collectors plunder heritage

The sight of private collectors pulling 100-year-old Chinese soya pots from the ground in New Westminster in August upset a Simon Fraser University archeology professor. Antique collectors had converged at a construction site in the 1000 block of Carnarvon Street, once the site of the oldest Chinatown in mainland B.C.They dug up a treasure trove of antique pots, glassware, coins, dominoes, silverware and the occasional dainty little opium bottle. Dr. Jonathan Driver said the plunder showed the need for a comprehensive heritage preservation act.

Opinionnow ‘Dismayed’ at number of new rental housing units Editor: Shocked, appalled and dismayed again by the poor response of the province to the housing needs of the third-largest city in the province.

I am not sure whether I need to laugh or cry, or perhaps both, over what appears to be the province’s joy at providing 366 affordable housing units in Burnaby. Are we kidding?

This low number is appalling. Where are the hundreds, nay thousands, of units we need for families in Burnaby? And what does affordable mean? CMHC says affordable should be no more than 25 per cent of a family’s income.

With the City of Burnaby’s vast financial resources going unused in its bank account, why are they not matching, doubling or tripling any money put forward by the province and then providing land at $1 to build? We can provide luxury homes for a few, but where is the affordable quality housing for the many?

Cathy Griffin, Burnaby

‘Saddened’ by the garbage on Gilmore Avenue Editor: I frequently walk on Gilmore Avenue, north of Hastings Street, and I am always saddened by the amount of litter I see.

So, last week, I overcame my hesitancy and picked it up. It didn’t take long to accumulate a depressing amount of garbage, mostly plastic food wrapping but also cigarette butts, recyclable cans and bottles, construction debris, and so on.

Some of it was Halloween candy wrappings

inadvertently dropped by ghosts and goblins but I suspect most of it came from residential garbage cans. It is apparent that some residents regularly clean the public areas in front of their homes, but most don’t. If every Burnaby resident took five minutes every couple of weeks to tidy up in front of their own property, and to pick up stray garbage on garbage days, not only would our city would be more beautiful but people also might appreciate just how much garbage we all generate.

Katie Rodgers, Burnaby

DNA testing worth it Editor: Re: DNA testing and the hunt for a killer, NOW, Nov. 14.

Great article. I have three questions for Abby Deshman (director of the criminal justice program for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association).

Are you happy or sad the RCMP (charged someone with the murder) of Marrisa Shen? Do you think the Shen family is happy or sad (someone has been charged)? If you had an innocent 13-year-old daughter being slaughtered while out on a walk and the police found (a suspect), would you be happy or sad?

The fact is that no one, except the police, know why DNA samples were collected from Middle Eastern men, so your assumption of racial profiling is made without any proof.

Hopefully, justice will be served.

Shame on you, Ms. Deshman.

Ted Grigoleit, Burnaby Editor’s note: Abby Deshman only says that the case “raises questions about racial profiling” and her main point is that there needs to be more oversight if this kind of investigative tool is used.

Citynow ‘Change in direction’ for city Continued from page 1 “You knew exactly what you were entitled to do, and you’ve chosen to do something different,” Corrigan said at the time. He acknowledged that a change to the rule had been requested for years but did not indicate he planned to support a change.

With a new mayor in town, Calendino said on Monday he believed there was now majority support for a change in the bylaw.

“He (Corrigan) wasn’t open to that because he worried about parking issues, bulk of houses and neighbourhood characteristics, but I think we can try to work all those things out,” Calendino said. “The mayor (Hurley) campaigned on it and we had some councillors open to that, so we decided to do it.”

Asked whether this heralded a new era of cooperative governance on council, Calendino said: “Well, obviously there may be some change in direction on some issues. It doesn’t mean that we’ll upset the apple cart completely – but there may be some tweaking on some issues.”

During the campaign, Hurley campaigned on a promise to bring a new leadership style to the role of mayor. He said he believed he could work with BCA councillors despite campaigning against many of their housing policies.

In a sight rarely seen during Corrigan’s reign, there was open disagreement between BCA councillors Monday.

Calendino wanted to present his motion for a vote at the end of the meeting, but Coun. Colleen Jordan said she felt the issue was being rushed. She asked that council only accept a notice of the motion.

“We just got this in the mail on the weekend,” Jordan said. “It’s quite extensive and quite a change to what has been our processes in the city previously, and I think it’s appropriate that we have a notice, rather than a motion tonight.”

Calendino asked the city clerk whether he could still push the motion through but relented when told that would require unanimous support.The motion is expected to come up for a vote at a future meeting.

The meeting kicked off with another BCA councillor, Dan Johnston, upset over an unexpected change in the seating plan.

He said he was surprised to

find his seating position had changed from being nearest to the mayor at the centre of the crescent-shaped table to the furthest edge.

Johnston said that, as the longest-serving councillor and top vote getter, he expected to retain his seat near the middle front of the room.

“Traditionally, those two things tend to have a little more sway than they seem to be having with the current mayor,” he told the NOW on Tuesday.

The 25-year council veteran took it as a slight from Hurley, who set the arrangement. Moments before the meeting started, Johnston tweeted: “Extremely childish decision by #Mayor Hurley to move my Council seating especially to do so with zero consultation.”

Johnston told the NOW he wrote the Tweet and showed it to Jordan, who took his phone, read it and advised him not to send it.

But, he said, she inadvertently hit the “Tweet” button when handing the phone back to him.

“I didn’t actually intend to send it,” he said.

Johnston promptly deleted the tweet, but a CBC reporter later tweeted a screen capture of it.

He said he was more upset that the change came without warning than he was about the actual seating arrangement. He called the move “petty” and “tacky.”

Otherwise, Johnston said he has been getting along “reasonably well” with the new mayor.

Hurley didn’t respond to the NOW for comment.

City now Province announces new funding for surgeries for trans people in Burnaby Burnaby Hospital has been included on the list of publicly funded “gender-affirming lower surgeries” announced Friday, as British Columbia becomes the first province in western Canada to offer these procedures next year.

“The trans community has advocated over a number of years for improved access to care, including access to complex lower surgeries within B.C.,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix, in a news release.

“For those seeking lower surgery, people were required to travel to Montreal or to the U.S., resulting in additional medical risks associated with travelling long distance after surgery and in receiving followup care if there were complications.”

Reconstructive genderaffirming surgeries will be available starting in 2019, said the province.

In addition, trans people throughout the province now have improved access to publicly funded gender-

affirming chest and breast surgeries.

A total of 14 surgeons will provide these surgeries in Burnaby, Kamloops, Kelowna, Port Moody, Prince George,Vancouver and Victoria.

Previously, to receive publicly funded gender-affirming breast augmentation or chest construction procedures, people had to travel to Vancouver or Victoria, the province said.

According to the government, the number of people travelling out of the province for lower surgeries has been steadily increasing each year, with approximately 100 people going outside of B.C. annually for care.

More than 200 chest and breast surgeries are expected to take place throughout B.C. in the coming year.

In British Columbia, an estimated 46,000 people identify as trans or gender diverse.

Two sent to hospital after highrise fire Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

A kitchen fire on the 23rd floor of a Burnaby highrise at 2232 Douglas Rd. sent two people to hospital with smoke inhalation.

Firefighters were called to the scene in the Brentwood area just after 11 a.m. on Saturday after a member of the building’s strata council called to report smoke.

When Burnaby fire-

fighters arrived, the sprinkler had activated and put out most of the fire, said assistant fire chief Barry Mawhinney.

“The sprinklers did their job and put the fire out,” Mawhinney said, adding that although people complain about water damage, “the water can be cleaned up easier than the fire and the smoke – if the sprinkler isn’t there and doesn’t put out the fire before we get

there, it turns into a lot larger incident.”

VACANT BUILDING BURNS UP IN EDMONDS Burnaby firefighters had a “defensive” fire on their hands Saturday morning after RCMP warned them it might not be safe to go into a vacant building on fire in the Edmonds area.

Smoke was coming from the basement of a house at Sixth Street and Wedge-

wood and could be seen on several sides of the vacant building, Mawhinney said.

Although the building was boarded up, the house was known to house people looking for shelter, Mawhinney said.

“We had some information from RCMP that it might not be safe to enter, so we assessed the situation and chose to fight it as a defensive fire, so we weren’t going in,” he said.

You can be Santa for a lonely senior

Did you know that, according to recent Statistics Canada data, as many as 1.4 million elderly Canadians report feeling lonely?

Each year, these seniors have fewer family members and friends to provide company and care, which can lead to social isolation.

The holidays can be especially hard for those who are living independently and may feel lonely.

That’s why the Home Instead Senior Care Office serving Burnaby is inviting the community to provide gifts and holiday cheer to 260 seniors who may be isolated from friends or family this holiday season through its Be a Santa to a Seniors program.

“Be a Santa to a Senior helps bring comfort and a smile to many local seniors. It shows that society cares about them, and sees them as an important part of the community,” said Harpreet Singh, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Burnaby, in a news release. “Social isolation is a concern among seniors, and the holidays often intensify feelings of distance and loneliness.When we deliver gifts and spend time with them, it makes a big difference.”

All alone: Social isolation is a concern for seniors, and it can be especially difficult at the holidays. Local residents are invited to help reach out to lonely seniors through a Be a Santa to a Senior program that’s going on right now.

PHOTO THINKSTOCK

Go to one of the participating locations and look for the Be a Santa to a Senior tree on display from now until Dec. 7. Each tree will be decorated with ornaments featuring seniors’ first names and their desired gifts. Holiday shoppers can choose an ornament, buy the requested gift and return it to

the store with the ornament attached.

Community volunteers and program partners will wrap and deliver the gifts to local seniors in time for the holidays.

Trees are located at the VanCity at 5064 Kingsway or the London Drugs at 4970 Kingsway.

The local Home Instead Senior Care office has partnered with George Derby Centre and Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby to identify seniors who might need a little extra holiday cheer.

For more information, visit BeaSantatoaSenior.ca or call the Burnaby office at 604-432-1139.

Recovery home seeks votes to win funding Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

The only recovery home for women in Burnaby is looking for a “forever home,” and they’re appealing to the public to vote for them to compete for $125,000 in funding towards this goal.

Burnaby’s Charlford House Foundation has been shortlisted among 10 mental health organizations in the running to receive a $125,000 donation from iA Financial Group.

Finalists are from across Canada, and the winner of the big prize will be decided by public voting.

Charlford House provides women with a place to recover from drug and alcohol addiction, and, if successful in securing the donation, it will go toward buying a new home and increasing its bed capacity.

Charlford House was set up almost 50 years ago in North Burnaby to help women recovering from addictions, but they currently reside in a rented house that they’ve outgrown, explained the non-profit’s executive director, Miranda Vecchio.

There are currently 15 beds in the home, partially funded by Fraser Health, and partially by the ministry of social development.

But 30 per cent of Charlford House’s budget comes from fundraising and donations.

While there is much talk about the opioid crisis and deaths from tainted drugs,Vecchio said the hopeful part of the conversation sometimes gets lost.

“What is left out of the equation is there is hope, help is available and addicts do recover,” she said.

Vecchio pointed out there are fewer spots for women in recovery than for men, and there is “no shortage of need.”The majority of the women coming to the house are between 19 and 26.

Members of the public can vote at www.ia.ca/contest-ia-donations for two organizations.

Entertainment now Canadian soul singer onstage at the Shadbolt Tanika Charles in the spotlight for Nov. 28 concert A star of the Canadian soul scene is getting set to take to the stage at Shadbolt Centre.

Tanika Charles is onstage on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

The Edmonton-raised performer released her debut full-length album Soul Run in April 2017, through Italian funk-soul label Record Kicks – an album that was nominated for a Polaris Music Prize and a 2017 Juno for R&B/Soul Recording of theYear.

She has quickly become a staple of the Canadian soul scene with a sound described as “classic soul and heavy drums, without the need for retro crutches.”

Charles has been performing since 2010, backed by her band The Wonderfuls at festivals like NXNE, Pop Montreal, CBC Music Fest,TD Toronto Jazz Fest and more.

Following the release of Soul Run, she embarked on

Meet your neighbours: Mavis Mau, dancer

This article marks the third instalment in a regular monthly series between the Burnaby NOW and Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

The work of the BNH is spread throughout Burnaby with two neighbourhood houses, nine licensed school-age daycares, three preschools and a community hall and targeted after-school programs at four elementary schools.

The stories in this series will highlight the neighbours who live in Burnaby and their personal histories that will show the diversity of our city and the importance of creating a sense of belonging and helping each other.

MAVIS MAU “I have always dreamt about becoming a dancer.

I spent every waking moment dancing in my room – feeling the rhythm of the music, being swept away to another place right along with the dance steps. Sadly, for me, it was a dream that seemed like it would never come true – my Mother decided piano lessons were far more important. I tucked my childhood dream into the corner of my heart and moved through the days of my life.

“When I retired, I took up line dancing and once again felt the familiar tug of dance take over. Eventually I gained the courage to start

my own dance classes but quickly realized that being a professional dance instructor was demanding, expensive and stressful. Not at all what I had dreamt of, and once again my dream was escaping.

“Luck was with me and I found a space where I was encouraged to teach dance classes as a volunteer.The classes were free, and as I got to know the group, I began to see the impact I was having on people. Some of the dancers could not afford dance lessons, and some were absolute beginners.

You can imagine how proud I was when they finished an entire dance sequence.

Even my husband joined my class.

“I think what surprises me the most is that it is

not just about dancing; we always stay long after our class huddled around a table talking and planning our next performance or costumes. I never imagined that my retirement would become so joyful. I guess my dream really did come true, I am dancing again with a whole group of new friends, and I love it.”

Mavis is one of two line dance instructors at the North Burnaby Neighbourhood House. She teaches beginner and intermediate classes on Mondays and plans to continue dancing for years to come.

Communitynow Free talk looks at healthy relationships and your well-being DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

What determines your health and happiness?

We know that it is much more than timely access to a good health-care system. In the 2009 report of the Senate Subcommittee on Public Health, only 25 per cent of the health of the population was attributable to the health-care system –15 per cent was due to individual biology (i.e. genetics) and 10 per cent to environmental factors.

The remaining 50 per cent was due to a variety of social determinants, including poverty, work conditions, housing, diet and community factors.

One of the key determinants of physical and emotional health – and therefore, happiness itself – is our sense of belonging – our connection with our community.

Among the interesting findings of the 2013 My Health My Community

survey were the responses to two questions addressing social connectedness. Only 40 per cent of Burnaby residents (compared to 45 per cent in metropolitanVancouver) had four or more people to confide in. Only 49 per cent of Burnaby residents felt a strong sense of community belonging (compared to 56 per cent in metropolitanVancouver).

Not surprisingly, recent immigrants had lower rates of community belonging.

What can we do to nurture our social connections at a personal and community level and improve both our personal health and happiness and that of everyone in our community?

On an individual level, we could make our relationships a priority. Of course, at the end of every life, it is our relationships that were primal.Yet we all tend to take our most important relationships for granted.

Without daily care and attention, we can fall into conflict, become distant and neglect our most important partners in health and

well-being.We spend more time and attention invested in work, school, personal goals and entertainment; they can take over our daily lives, leaving little for what and who matters most.

We must prioritize time each week and every day for the people in our lives.We must nurture positive interactions to offset our human brains’ natural negativity bias.

As neuropsychologist Rick Hanson has said, our minds areVelcro for the bad and Teflon for the good.We

hear criticisms and demands from others more loudly than affection and appreciation. Your child, friend and partner need to hear five positive comments to balance out one negative just to come out even.

We need real – not electronic – face time with one another. Our lasting happiness has nothing to do with experiencing transient pleasures and acquiring more material things. Happiness can only be enjoyed in the moments we are fully present, connected with our

lives and the people that are an integral part of it.

You are not just an individual.You are part of a greater whole – a partnership and a family, a network of friends and a community, a part of humanity, nature and the world.

We can help others feel more connected in our community by getting to know our neighbours, recognizing what we have in common and offering assistance when and where it is needed.

We are all a part of a

greater whole, and we each play a role in the health and wellbeing of our community.

FREE TALK On Dec. 6, I’ll be giving a free talk at the Bonsor Recreation Centre in Burnaby from 7 to 8:30 p.m.The topic:The Positive Potential ofYour Relationships.

It’s part of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients health education program.To register, email Leona at lcullen @divisionsbc.ca or call 604259-4450.

Burnaby to host WJC tilt

Swiss-Russia exhibition game to go at Copeland Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The impending arrival of the world’s best under-20 hockey players for the World Junior Championships in Vancouver has created some residual benefits for other B.C. communities.

And Burnaby will be one of those benefiting.

The Bill Copeland Sports Complex will play host to a pretournament exhibition game between Switzerland and Russia on Dec. 23.

It’s part of a 12-game exhibition slate featuring all 10 international teams, with games in nine different communities.

The Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island will receive the bulk of the games, with games in Kamloops and Kelowna rounding out the tour.

“This series of exhibition games will give thousands of British Columbians the opportunity to see top-notch international junior hockey in their home communities,” said Lisa Beare, minister of tourism, arts and culture.

Burnaby’s tilt pits two teams who last year failed to advance beyond the quarterfinals.

The 2,000-seat Copeland Arena is one of the smaller venues for the exhibition schedule, with two other Lower Mainland games going to Langley (Dec. 19, Denmark vs. Finland; Dec. 22, U.S.A. vs. Czech Republic) while Chilliwack will host a game Dec. 22 between Sweden and Denmark.

The Canadian team’s pretourney schedule includes a pair of games in Victoria (Dec. 19, against Switzerland, and Dec. 21 vs. Slovakia) and in Vancouver (Dec. 23 vs. Finland at Rogers Arena).

Team rosters won’t be finalized until next month, although Russia’s lineup could include 2018 first round draft picks Vitali Kravtsov (ninth overall to the NewYork Rangers), and Grigori Denisenko (selected 15th overall by the Florida Panthers), as well Vasily Podkolzin, a winger currently ranked among the top five for the 2019 NHL entry draft.

Switzerland’s roster may feature Chicago Blackhawks draft pick Philipp Kurashev and 2019 prospects Valentin Nussbaumer and Nando Eggenberger.

Panthers prevail over Byng North earns

Moscrop collects school’s first Lower Mainland sr. girls crown Stories by Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It was just as dramatic as the score indicates.

And while the winning point was on a double-fault, the Moscrop Panthers were too busy celebrating to be concerned about the artistry.

Winning the school’s first Lower Mainland senior girls title was nothing short of amazing for the crew. By prevailing 3-2 over the Lord Byng Grey Ghosts, the Panthers captured not only a major prize but also the zone’s No. 1 seed heading to the B.C.s next week in Penticton.

“It was energy draining,” remarked Moscrop coach Kim Or of the tournament, which the Burnaby secondary co-hosted.

“You often hear people, coaches complain about the draw but we talked about not complaining (at the start) but dealing with what’s

ahead, and we knew we had to go through Handsworth and Lord Byng (to win).”

Saturday’s final followed the rollercoaster route, with Moscrop winning the first set before succumbing in the next two.Trailing 2-1 to a lineup that included national team member Katarina Pantovic, the Burnaby squad found a calmer middle ground and proceeded to steal back the momentum.

In the key fourth set, Byng looked to close it out and built up a lead but Moscrop rallied, pulling out the win.

It was rinse and repeat again in the decisive fifth set.

“We were up 14-10, then Lord Byng crept back and I had to call a time out,” recalled Kim. “The girls were focused. Lily (Xu) hit a beautiful volley to make it 15-14, then Maddie (Richardson) served it and (Byng) got called for a double (touch) and that was it.”

The celebration was short, as the players soon began to help clean up from the tourney.

“It’s a show of resilience,” added Or. “It’s so hard to win the Lower Mainlands, and when you lose two (sets) in the final you’re going through so many emotions.

“We mentioned (at 2-1) that they shouldn’t focus on the score, that for it to go five (sets) both teams are going to lose twice.”

Now the squad prepares for the 20-team AAAA provincials, which kick off Nov. 29 in Penticton. As a zone champion, and having spent much of the year ranked in the top 10, the Panthers will be slotted as a favourite in its pool. But Or said seeding doesn’t guarantee a thing.

“Anything can happen,” he said. “What’s important is they believe in themselves. (Winning the Lower Mainlands) was a real good result for them. Now whatever happens is a bonus.”

STM season ends at hands of Rams

The St.Thomas More Knights were prepared, but the Mount Douglas Rams were ready.

The Island team ended the Knights’ AAA football season in surprising fashion, with a 43-21 decision last Friday at Burnaby Lake West complex.

Led by offensive standout Gideone Kremler, who ran for 188 yards and three majors, the Rams erased a 7-6 deficit with a pair of touchdowns in the span of four minutes midway through the first half.

One of those scores came after a faked punt be-

came a fumble that the visitors recovered on STM’s 30-yard line.

While the Knights’ Dario Ciccone made it 22-14 before halftime, the Rams used another turnover – this time an interception that turned into a 31-yard TD – to pull away.

“We needed to play an error-free game (against Mt. Doug), and we didn’t,” noted STM coach Steve. De Lazzari. “We gave it a shot – we came into the season unranked and won some big games.”

B.C. berth

Confidence and persistence came to play for the Burnaby North Vikings.

The senior girls volleyball team displayed both elements en route to finishing fourth at last week’s Lower Mainland championships.

While the tourney ended in a pair of 3-0 setbacks, the crucial point was accomplished when they punched their ticket to the AAAA provincials.

After strong 2-0 wins in pool play, blanking both Sir Winston Churchill and Carson Graham, the Vikings drew the David Thompson Lakers in the allimportant quarterfinal – with the winner guaranteed a top-four finish and B.C.-qualifying spot.

Not only did North deliver, head coach Erich Chou was impressed with the squad’s demeanour and determination throughout the process.

“We were definitely very, very nervous, and we didn’t start as well as we had played in pool (play),” noted Chou. “We seemed to be down, but we clutched up and really dominated in the third set (winning 25-15) and that’s where we showed our best.”

The Lakers put up a valiant battle in the fourth set, but the Vikings rallied to seal it 25-23 for the B.C. berth.

Although they fell 3-0 in the semifinal to No. 1-seed Lord Byng, and were similiarly edged by Handsworth in the bronze medal match, Chou was pleased with their bounce-back effort.

“A bronze game is tough. Every team’s goal was to make the final but you don’t. ... It’s tough, but how you respond is important.The players did (against Handsworth).”

SFU rallies to take showdown games For a two-game exhibition series to see where they sit, the Simon Fraser University men’s basketball team got a good view.

They exited the SFU Showdown against a pair of NCAA Div. 2 schools with a 2-0 record and a glimpse of their potential.

The Clan defeated the Minnesota State Moorhead Dragons 92-81 on Saturday, a day after squeaking out a 73-72 win over Humboldt State.

Against the Dragons, SFU racked up 13 three-pointers and fired 62.7 per cent from the field to rally from a five-point deficit.

Othniel Spence’s trey early in the fourth quarter, with the Clan nursing a one-point lead, was part of a 18-10 run that put the hosts in control.

Spence finished with a gamehigh 21 points, including going five-of-seven from outside the arc.

Guard Drew Bryson contributed 20 points and point guard Michael Provenzano chipped in 16 points.

Julian Roche delivered 13 points and seven rebounds.

“I’m proud of the guys for get-

ting the win and putting up points against another strong opponent,” remarked SFU coach Steve Hanson.

Against Humboldt, the game came down to free throws, with Jordan Muir-Keung sinking a pair of line shots in a one-point game.

It gave the Clan a 73-69 lead in the dying seconds to lock up the win. Keys in the victory were the contributions of Wilfried Balata and Roche.

For Roche, a transfer from Santa Clara University, it was his first career university double-double, scoring 18 points and 11 rebounds.Topping all shooters was Balata with 22 points and seven boards.

SFU trailed most of the game, including an 11-point deficit late in the first half.They didn’t claim the lead for good until, with two minutes remaining, Provenzano lofted a shot up and in after a key block by Graham Miller.

SFU’s next test comes Thursday, 7 p.m., when they host the Columbia Bible College at Burnaby Mountain.

BURNABY / TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

Real estate slowdown dragging on B.C. economy: report A predicted reduction in B.C.’s economic growth next year is being blamed squarely on the slowdown in housing market, according to a Central 1 Credit Union forecast released November 20.

The province’s annual GDP growth is expected to slow from nearly three per cent over the past few years to 2.5 per cent next year – “largely driven by lower levels of housing market activity,” said the report.

It said, “Recent declines in housing volume are contributing to flatter retail sales trends.

The declines are expected to contribute significantly to lower housing construction trends through to 2020, particularly in the larger urban markets in the South Coast region of the province.”

Not only are fewer housing starts linked to lower retail sales, as homeowners spend

less on their new homes, but a decline in home prices is also known to affect retail sales. When home values increase, homeowners feel wealthier and tend to spend more, even if they don’t have any additional income. As reported by the Huffington Post, “In a recent study, Moody’s Analytics tried to put a number to the ‘wealth effect.’ They came up with 4.5 cents – for every dollar you gain in perceived wealth, you spend an extra 4.5 cents.”

Conversely, falling home values means lower retail spending and create a downward spiral effect, said Huffington Post. “When homeowners start feeling poorer, they will adjust their spending downwards. That will slow the retail sector, putting pressure on many businesses and slowing employment growth. That decline in employment will make it harder for some to pay their

mortgages, putting further downward pressure on real estate.”

$497,000 $1,250,000

TOP SALE PRICE***

PRICE GROWTH TO DECELERATE Central 1 said it expects that B.C. home price growth in 2019 will be weak overall, although the only price declines are expected in some sectors in the Lower Mainland-Southwest region. It also predicts “downward pressure” on prices in the southern Interior as its major buying group of Alberta buyers stay away.

However, it is forecasting fairly strong increases in home prices on Vancouver Island, “due to stronger population growth as retirees relocate to the Island.” Central 1 added that the most robust housing markets will be in the northern coastal and interior regions, as booming cities such as Kitimat experience a surge in demand and prices.
