Solange Fabião: Amazônia Solange Fabião’s Amazônia (Projecting on Black) is a 14-part, nine-hour video work made in 2008, of which three parts (150 minutes) will be screened at SFU. Amazônia literally positions viewers alone in the Amazon, with no other human presence. Amazônia breaks with cinematic tradition; projected onto a black screen, its light falls onto the silence of darkness, mirroring the earth’s state before the light of the sun falls on it. The rainforest is never silent—as night rapidly falls in the dusk videos, the shift in forest sounds reflects the shift in lighting. Fabião is originally from Brazil and is now based in New York City. Her practice explores a wide range of art forms, including architecture—she is currently collaborating with Steven Holl on the Cité de L’Océan et du Surf, a museum of oceanic issues in Biarritz, France. The exhibit runs until June 11 at the SFU Art Gallery, located in the AQ (Academic Quadrangle), at the centre of campus. The gallery is on the 3000 level, on the south side of the AQ, room AQ3004.

NEWS BRIEFS BURNABY MAN CRASHES CAR IN SUNSHINE COAST
The first collection of the season of home-grown produce from the Plant a Row – Grow a Row program will be held this Sunday, 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., at St. Thomas More Collegiate, Kingsway and 12th Avenue in Burnaby. Volunteers will be there every Sunday until Oct. 16 to collect garden-grown produce that will be donated to the New Westminster Food Bank.
A 35-year-old Burnaby man is in critical condition after crashing his convertible in Gibsons on Monday.

He was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital in critical condition. “The investigation indicates that alcohol is a factor in combination with excessive speed, which is a dangerous mixture at any time,” said Thiessen. “The sad fact is an average of 20,800 injury and fatality crashes occur in the Lower Mainland each year as a result of high risk driving.”

SHARE GARDEN’S BOUNTY
Burnaby Village marks its 40th By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
T
here were many reasons why the beginnings of Burnaby Village Museum were built in 1971, but Don Copan recalls one with a laugh: envy. “New Westminster has Irving House and they’re preserving their past,” said Copan, 83, the founding president of the Century Park Museum Association, which operated the museum for most of its first two decades. “There was a bit of a rivalry there not only in terms of history but in terms of schools and politics, as well as sports.” So the museum, originally known as Heritage Village, was born partly out of envy. But its origins also come from a recognition by city volunteers in 1958, during centennial celebrations marking mainland British Columbia becoming a British colony, that there was local history worth preserving. “We thought, what about 100 years from now? We won’t be here but maybe something we do or leave as a legacy will be here,” said Copan. What was created will be the subject of 40th anniversary celebrations at Burnaby Village Museum Saturday, June 11 starting at 10 a.m. Museums featuring local history were few and far between back in the early 1970s. The Royal British Colum-
bia Museum didn’t open its current exhibit buildings until 1968. Then in 1971, came opportunity in the form of the centennial of B.C. joining Confederation. Provincial money was made available for legacy projects. Centennial committees popped up across the province, with many municipalities choosing to mark the historic occasion with museums of their own. Copan remembers a call for centennial project ideas generated about 20 proposals which included a coordinated planting of trees, playgrounds at Central Park, a permanent structure to house Interurban Tram 1223, and an antique car museum. Ultimately, the committee decided on another suggestion, to recognize the Interurban trams that used to connect Burnaby with New Westminster and Vancouver. That idea morphed into a plan to build a replica of what Burnaby might have looked like around the tram’s Jubilee station, a central commercial area of Burnaby around the 1920s. That was the beginning of 40 years of history in itself.
••••• Burnaby Village Museum curator Lisa Codd said British Columbians started looking to the past in the 1950s, ‘60s and early ‘70s out of pride in how far the province had come, and the fact that economic prosperity meant there was opportunity and resources to preserve a piece of the past for future generations. “In the 1970s, there was also kind of a ‘retro chic’ thing going on—Little

House on the Prairie, faux-heritage décor for homes, Holly Hobbie. So, creating a heritage village in Burnaby in 1971 would have accomplished many things: it was a fun and popular idea, and people felt proud to be able to preserve history.” Local historian and Burnaby heritage commission member Harry Pride, 86, who was also involved back then, noted that decades ago, Burnaby was known for farming, particularly strawberries, and log-
ging camps. Burnaby was considered out in the middle of nowhere. “Nobody would come out to visit you,” joked Copan. “Burnaby didn’t have a good self image,” added Pride, noting a project like Heritage Village aimed to bring a sense of pride to the municipality. So, after Burnaby council set a budget of $269,000 and provided the land, construction began on the village main street, near an existing 1920s era house, now known as Elworth House, in April 1971. In October of that year, the Century Park Museum Association was formed to run it, and on November 19, Governor-General Roland Michener officially opened it. It was an instant success, with about 15,000 people coming through during its first three days. “Then we closed it,” said Copan with a laugh. It had rushed to open to coincide with Michener’s visit and the centennial year, but was then shut down until the following summer. Over the years, the site has seen numerous changes. The B.C. Society of Model Engineers ran its miniature railway on what is now the meadow until leaving in 1991 to facilitate its eventual move to Confederation Park. The Interurban tram car was moved from its original location at Kingsway and Edmonds to the village site, before being restored by volunteers and placed inside a specially-built tram barn a few years ago.

A man is hurting both physically and financially after being hit by a vehicle Monday evening in North Burnaby. At about 7 p.m., the young man was trying to cross the street when he stepped out from behind a parked car near Broadway and Springer Avenue, and was struck by a vehicle. He was taken to Burnaby Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries to his foot and leg. Perhaps more painful was the ticket police issued him for failing to yield to the vehicle that hit him. “This vehicle had the right of way and the young man was not in a crosswalk or at an intersection,” said Burnaby RCMP in a press release. “Burnaby RCMP Traffic Section routinely charge pedestrians with jaywalking offences especially in high collision areas where pedestrians have been hit while crossing illegally.”

Free museum a busy place Crowds flocking to Burnaby Village By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
It’s early in the season but it appears free admission at Burnaby Village Museum has had the desired effect on attendance. “We’ve had a very positive response to free admission, notwithstanding the weather and ‘June-uary,’� said Denis Nokony, Burnaby’s assistant director of cultural services. Victoria Day “exceeded expectations,� he said. While in past years the museum drew an average of 400 to 700 paying customers on the holiday, this year saw 5,000 people attending the festivities for free. “We’re just thrilled with that, but it caught us a little off guard.� City staff are making plans to accommodate the larger numbers expected this Saturday, June 11 when the village hosts 40th anniversary celebrations. Extra staff will assist with food
concessions and keep the site and washrooms clean. The free admission also seems to have beneďŹ ted the Saturday Burnaby Farmers’ Market which moved to the village site this spring. On a good day, the market attracted 400 people at its former home in the city hall parking lot, Nokony said. On May 7 at the village, it saw about 1,100 customers and on May 14, in bad weather, 1,600 attended. City staff are looking into the feasibility of fully operating the village on Saturdays (instead of just opening the site) after their usual last day of the season on Labour Day to accommodate the market, which runs to the end of October. Nokony noted that for the ďŹ rst time, the village will be part of this year’s Discovery Day festival July 10 due to the free admission. Nokony said not only are many people visiting the village for the ďŹ rst time, but it’s adding to the word-of-mouth impact for surrounding facilities and businesses, such as the Deer

Lake Boat Rentals, Hart House restaurant, and the Burnaby Art Gallery. As for the capital projects proposed to help make up for the estimated $315,500 in lost revenues and the added staffing costs, all due to offering free admission, he said they’re still in the planning stages. An 18-hole mini-golf course is still awaiting approvals, including from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which has setback and other requirements due to the proposed site’s proximity to the ďŹ sh-bearing Deer Lake Brook. An expansion of the ice cream parlour restaurant is still going through the planning process. Nokony said it’s not yet known when construction can start on either project. Other capital projects, such as an expansion of the gift shop, are planned for 2012. As for whether free admission will continue after the museum’s 40th anniversary season, it will be a city council decision after all the numbers and feedback are in at the end of the year, he said.

Board to revise Policy 5.45 Changes to antihomophobia policy not ‘concessions’: trustee By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
After weeks of controversy and public input, the Burnaby school board’s policy committee has recommended changes to its draft anti-homophobia policy. The board received numerous submissions both for and against the policy, said district superintendent Claudio Morelli, at a press conference Wednesday. Opposition focused largely on the public process, the need for such a policy, implications on curriculum, religious beliefs and its impact on parents’ role in raising their children according to their beliefs, he said. Morelli said the intent of the policy is to make Burnaby schools safe and welcoming places for all students. Since 1985, the district has had a multiculturalism and race relations policy and this is simply another policy to protect students who are marginalized and harassed due to sexual orientation or gender identity. A recent survey of Canadian high school students found “rampant homophobic harassment” in Canadian schools, and in 2005 the B.C. School Trustees Association recommended
that all school boards develop separate policies to address homophobic bullying and harassment. Revisions to the draft policy include removing language that could be perceived as subjective, and clarifying how it aligns with education ministry standards particularly in sections that refer to curriculum and replacing some definitions, such as that of “heterosexism” with more commonly accepted ones. The school board will consider the changes and likely vote on the policy at its next meeting on Tuesday, June 14. “We don’t see it as concessions, we see it as improvements to the policy,” said school trustee Ron Burton. He said parents will not see the revised version before the next board meeting, saying “there’s been lots and lots of input.” The policy will impact classrooms in age appropriate ways. In practice, explained assistant superintendent Kevin Kaardal, in elementary schools it will be brought up largely in larger lessons about the inappropriateness of slurs, from those regarding race and socio-economic status to “that’s so gay.” In secondary schools, it will be part of health and career education classes, where it will be brought up as part of broader lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation. Homophobia may
also be brought up in discussions about discrimination and human rights in social studies or social justice 12 classes. “It’s not random, it’s not a curriculum on its own, it’s integrated into existing curriculum,” Kaardal said. When highly sensitive topics are discussed, such as in sex education, parents would be able to pull their children out of those classes, but alternate methods of delivering the lessons would have to be used to meet learning objectives. School board chair Larry Hayes stressed the policy is not about changing curriculum but simply teaching children there are different types of people in our society and that they all deserve respect. While he doesn’t believe the district did anything wrong in its policy process, in hindsight, Hayes said, “having the optics of being more open is probably the right thing to do.” Charter Lau, spokesman for Parents’ Voice, a parents’ group opposed to the policy, said they still need to look at the revisions before his group can comment. But he questioned why the board would vote on it before sending copies of the revised draft out to every parent in the district for feedback. “It seems like their attitude is you elected us, let us run the show, push you guys aside. A lot of parents don’t like that kind of attitude.”

Less reason to axe HST Is a two per cent cut to the HST sufficient to keep the tax reform measure alive after June’s referendum? The B.C. Liberals are hoping so. Announced last month, along with annual rebate cheques for each child and low-income senior, the “fixes” mean all income brackets will be better off under the HST than with the old provincial sales tax structure, according to finance minister Kevin Falcon. The current low-income rebates would continue to be paid, and $175 transition cheques would go to parents for each child under 18, and some seniors as well. Single seniors earning up to $40,000 a year would get the entire $175, and a partial payment for incomes up to $43,500. Senior couples would receive $175 for a combined income up to $40,000 and a partial payment up to a $50,000 income. The measures do remove much of the argument against the HST, albeit over three years, with the first one per cent cut occurring in July of next year. Including the rebates, the impact of the HST will be largely negated for the income brackets ostensibly least able to absorb an additional tax burden. And according to the government, the statistically average family will see an overall tax reduction of about $120 per year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent. Meantime, the HST has the potential to do what it was intended to do, which is to boost the economy by reducing costs to business, and encouraging investment and job creation. It makes little sense to return to an antiquated, multi-layered tax system—other than to “punish” the government for the manner in which it rolled out its tax reform policy. To do so might yield superficial satisfaction for some, but eliminates the prospect of long-term economic benefit for all. —Black Press

At the podium on Monday many speakers talked about all the terrific qualities Grieve had when they dealt with him. He guided them, he directed them, he was there for them whenever they needed it. From a reporter’s perspective he was a breath of fresh air. During interviews he was friendly, responsive and easy to understand. And he had a sense of humour. Those are rare bureaucratic birds. Another quality he had in abundance that is uncommon to many public servants is a hefty amount of common sense. Education is the knowledge business. But Grieve also had wisdom. They might be the same thing, but as Grieve quite humourously pointed out they aren’t. “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad.” (That and other words of wisdom are slated for Memoirs of a Bald-headed Burnaby Bureaucrat.) It’s that type of approach that has served the Burnaby school district well. Over the years there have been times when the board or the administrative staff may have strayed from that approach, but Grieve would keep them on course. Now the only courses he’ll worry about are the ones he’ll be golfing. ■ Grant Granger is a NewsLeader reporter. ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

Re: Proposed Policy 5.45 on homophobia/ heterosexism in Burnaby schools In 2002, I started the first gay-straight alliance club at my high school, Burnaby Mountain Secondary. The school was in its infancy having only opened a year earlier, yet there was already a need to combat homophobia in the school and to provide students of all sexual orientations and gender identities with a safe and inclusive learning environment. Now, nearly a decade later, that need still exists. An entirely new cohort of students at Burnaby Mountain has recognized the problem and is courageously resurrecting the gay-straight alliance. Their efforts will surely make a difference in their school, but homophobia is a widespread problem in secondary and elementary schools across Burnaby. Whether homophobic slurs are shouted on playgrounds or whispered in classrooms, for many students, homophobia and heterosexism are learned at a young age. Grassroots student clubs are important and vital to creating safe spaces, but to fully address homophobia and heterosexism in Burnaby schools, there must be a foundation of strong institutional policies that combat these issues. Such policies must empower school staff with the knowledge and tools to encourage understanding and diversity and to intervene when they see hate and discrimination occurring. These policies should encourage posi-
tive representations of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, TwoSpirit, queer) people in the school curriculum and provide supportive environments for LGBTQ students and staff. It is for these reasons that I strongly support Policy 5.45. It is time for the board’s policies to catch up to the efforts of students and staff who for years have recognized these issues and been battling them with too little institutional support. As a Burnaby Mountain Secondary alumnus, Burnaby resident, taxpayer and future parent, I strongly encourage the Burnaby Board of Education to unanimously approve Policy 5.45 as drafted.

I’ve had it with you, Guv OK, Guv. Listen up. Last year I told you in no uncertain terms that filching money from my pocket was not acceptable behaviour. You acknowledged that maybe I had a point, but you’ve kept right on doing it, haven’t you? Every time I’ve been presented a bill for payment I find that I’ve got less cash in my pocket than I thought. And it’s because of you. You’re a compulsive dipper, Guv, and I’m increasingly annoyed with you. Now, I’m fully aware that you’ve been skimming a bit of cash off me for years and I readily acknowledge that this will always be the case. But my point, Guv, is that lately your obsessive
Bottom line, Guv? I’ve had it with you. I’m tired of hearing your excuses and your feeble attempts to rationalize your antics.
behaviour has led you to a steep and stoney path that I don’t want to go down. You’ve accepted money from an out-of-town shark, and should he demand repayment you’ll be hard put to come up with it. If that wasn’t bad enough, you also have been regularly handing over money— from my pocket, remember—to a guy with his hand out. And not just any guy, but one dressed in a business suit for goodness sakes! Yes, I realize you’ve promised that you’re going to change your ways, and that you’ve come up with a corrective treatment plan designed to put you in recovery mode. However, there are a few problems with your plan, Guv, and I
want you to seriously consider what I am about to say. First, you assert the treatment for your condition won’t start for a year and, meantime, you will continue to compulsively pick my pocket. Given that you’ve been doing this for a year already, in point of fact you want me to finance your supposed recovery for two full years before you even start treatment. Frankly, that’s a lot to ask. Second, even when the treatment does kick in you won’t be actually attempting to stop your light-fingered ways but, rather, you’ll simply curtail your habit to the point where after two more years you will not be taking as much money from me as you have been during the previous two years. That doesn’t sound very encouraging. In other words, if I understand your intent, you want me to agree that you can keep your hand in my pocket for another three years so that you can finance your treatment but, at the end of the road, I will still be out of pocket, and you still won’t be cured. Is
that about right? Bottom line, Guv? I’ve had it with you. I’m tired of hearing your excuses and your feeble attempts to rationalize your antics. And I really don’t believe your promises to make it up to me somewhere down the line. If you really want to convince me that you’re serious about confronting your problem then my advice is: Go cold turkey! Bill Brassington Burnaby

As the referendum on the HST nears, I took some time to really think about all the pros and cons. Since the beginning, I was of the opinion that, had the HST been 10 per cent it would would have been acceptable, and mathematically I still think that it would have worked for most British Columbians. However, in principal I’m having a problem trying to justify the undemocratic way that it was introduced/ pushed upon us. We, the taxpayers of British Columbia, finally stood up and

Blue box recycling in for major shakeup By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Big changes may be on the horizon for blue box recycling as we know it. The provincial government has given an industry group of producers and retailers 18 months to design a plan to collect all packaging and printed materials from consumers. The new extended producer responsibility (EPR) initiative will bring recycling
force residents to instead take recyclables to depots instead. “That would be a disaster,� North Shore Recycling Society general manager Allen Lynch said. “People would get really ticked off if that were to happen.� Elderly people and others without cars depend on curbside pickup, he said. A depot system is one option but less likely than some continued form of curbside pickup, according to Recycling Council of B.C. executive director Brock Macdonald. “I think it will likely look like a blue box curbside pickup sys-
product producers. That means a potential loss of control for cities used to running local recycling programs. Metro Vancouver ofďŹ cials say they hope something like blue box curbside pickup continues. “Most municipalities are really keen that there be a high level of service,â€? Metro planning manager Ken Carrusca said. “The fact it’s convenient and easy for residents means there’s a high participation rate.â€? But advocates say it’s conceivable the industry stewardship group might reject curbside pickup and
to cardboard/plastic packaging in stores, restaurant take-out containers, disposable cups and even typically discarded items like candy wrappers and cigarette packages by May of 2014. The move should go far to plug some remaining holes in B.C.’s recycling system while spurring businesses – which will bear the costs – to design their packaging with the environment in mind. But it also shifts responsibility for collecting newspapers, cans, bottles and everything else that now goes into municipal blue boxes onto
All packaging to be covered, industry in charge
tem,� he said. The industry group might even opt to contract with cities or their contractors to continue the existing services, he said. Union reps, however, fear a push by industry stewards for low-cost privatized collection halt recycling pickup by civic workers in some cities. Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam all have their own trucks and unionized staff handling garbage and blue box pickup.

multifamily buildings – where recycling rates are notoriously low – there’s potential for major reductions in the waste stream, particularly after Metro Vancouver cities implement full organics pickup by 2015. “It puts us on the way to really diverting from the landďŹ ll,â€? Macdonald said. “Once we have packaging and organics, we’ll get over 70 per cent diversion for sure.â€? The producer group, which will include various retailers, grocers, the newspaper industry and others, will have three years to iron out details among themselves and with local cities, he said. “Everybody’s trying to understand what this transition will look like,â€? he said. “But there’s quite a bit of time to ďŹ gure it out.â€? He doesn’t expect any deposit or eco fees that will be added to products to pay for the packaging takeback
system, nor would there be any refund system to encourage returns as with beverage containers. Instead, he predicts businesses will simply absorb the new recycling costs and reect it in their local prices. Until now the cost of blue box recycling was shifted onto local government, Macdonald said. “Now it’s going to be industry and the consumer that funds that rather than local taxpayers.â€? Home owners who now pay for recycling through a fee on their utility bills could see that amount go down, but some observers expect that money may increasingly fund pickup of organic food waste. While industry will shoulder the costs of the new system they’ll also get the revenue from the recyclables collected, a shift of in some cases millions of dollars a year from local cities or recycling societies.

A chance for discovery W
hen I enter the Deer Lake Gallery each morning and see our new exhibit Looking Back by Deanna Fogstrom, I reflect on culture, heritage and community. The exhibit features paintings of Scandinavian costumes and scenes that depict summer celebrations with Scandinavian men and women playing violins, dancing and sharing traditional Scandinavian dishes. It serves as a beautiful reminder as to why the Burnaby Arts Council exists: to connect community and culture through the arts. Culture is completely intertwined and essential to the health of our community and we are lucky Burnaby has such a range of cultures and Rachelle Jones such a rich heritage. This mosaic of traditions and customs makes Burnaby an exceptional place. I encourage you take some time to visit the Looking Back exhibit which shows until June 19. Who knows? You might learn something new about a culture in your community. Speaking of connecting community and culture, Discovery Days, one of Burnaby’s largest grassroot festivals, is on the horizon, returning on July 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In honour of Discovery Days, the Burnaby Arts Council will be holding its first annual “Art-stacle,” a timed obstacle race that incorporates elements associated with the Burnaby Arts Council and our members such as theatre, dance, painting… and the crabwalk?

A new report warns “frothy Vancouver” is vulnerable to a real estate market correction that could bring a significant price drop. “Riding a wave of wealthy immigrants, Vancouver’s house prices have nearly tripled in the past decade, spiralling beyond the reach of most first-time buyers or non-lottery winners,” according to a report by Sal Guateri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. He cited strong demand from Chinese buyers, stoked by looser travel restrictions as well as stricter purchase rules and higher prices in China. Guateri examined the ratio of average home prices to median family income – a key yardstick of real estate affordability. Vancouver prices
are now an “astounding” 11.2 times the median local income, he found, compared to 4.6 times the median income in the rest of Canada and 6.7 in Toronto, the highest level of a major Canadian city after Vancouver. Ten years ago, Vancouver’s ratio was only 5.4 and prices were running only modestly ahead of Toronto’s. Now Vancouver’s prices are 71 per cent higher. “While land-use restrictions and high quality-of-life rankings can justify elevated prices, current steep valuations could prove unsustainable if foreign investment ebbs or interest rates climb,” Guateri cautioned. “How much could prices fall?” he asked. “Four corrections in the past three decades saw declines averaging 21 per cent and valua-
tions are higher today. “Still, if interest rates stay low and wealthy immigrants continue to pour into the city, prices could stabilize sooner than in past downturns.” The recent 2008-09 correction – a 13 per cent drop – was actually the mildest of the four. The worst was 198182, when Vancouver home prices fell 36 per cent. Even a modest increase in the current ultra-low interest rates would slow the market, the report said. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s benchmark price for detached houses hit $890,800 in May, a 10 per cent increase from a year ago. Apartments were up 2.2 per cent to $407,400 and attached units gained 3.5 per cent to $517,800. The benchmark
price for detached houses rose 2.8 per cent in the past year to $529,800 in the Fraser Valley, which includes Surrey, North Delta, White Rock and Langley. Unlike the benchmark (which tracks typical properties), average prices have risen faster – the result of more sales of higher-end homes or houses on big acreages. The average price for a detached house rose 11.6 per cent to $630,870 in May, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Townhouses in the valley actually dipped 1.1 per cent to $328,300 and apartments were down 0.5 per cent to $252,200.

life in their shoes
The sun was out and hats were on in North Burnaby on Saturday. But that wasn’t just for protection. It was the annual celebration of Hats Off Day. The event started in 1979 as a salute to their loyal customers by Hastings Street merchants after they successfully fought a plan by the Department of Highways to eliminate street parking in the area. The highlight is the community parade along Hastings, which is followed by a street party. Clockwise from above: Hats of all colour and theme are on parade; food is a big part of the festivities, as sardines are on the grill at Fortuna Bakery; Dave Packman ensures he has a good view of Saturday’s Hats Off Day parade; The Burnaby North Vikings marching band fills Hastings Street with sound; Rob Matthies gets into the spirit.

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times for the Burnaby Lakers over the weekend. The best was a 17-7 drubbing of the Langley Thunder Friday at Copeland Arena. The worst was a 9-4 loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday. Against the Adanacs, the Lakers fell behind 4-1 in the ďŹ rst period and never recovered. Goals by Dane Dobbie and Peter Veltman got Coquitlam on the winning track before the game was eight minutes old. Scott Tinning got one back for the Lakers half way through the frame as teammate Bryan Safarik sat out a two-minute penalty for high sticking. That’s as close as the Lakers got. Coqutilam’s Cory Conway set up goals by Tim Campeau and Veltman just over three minutes apart to propel the Adanacs into the second period, where they scored ďŹ ve more times. The Lakers leaped to life in the third as they outshot Coquitlam 18-8, but only Dane Stevens and Trevor Moore were able to solve Adanacs’ keeper Nick

Rose, who made 35 saves on the night. The loss was a bit of a step back after Burnaby dominated the Thunder at home. In that game, a pair of goals 43 seconds apart by Colton Clark blew the game apart late in the ďŹ rst period for the Lakers, who built their advantage to 7-3 early in the second before Langley was able to claw a couple of goals back. Burnaby responded with four straight goals in 5:16 to take an 11-6 advantage into the third period. The deluge continued as the Lakers scored six more times in the penaltyďŹ lled ďŹ nal frame. With the score out of reach, the Thunder lost two players, John Rae and Kyle McEwen, to misconducts late in the game. Clark scored ďŹ ve goals and added three assists to lead the Lakers, while Rory McDade and Shaun Dhaliwal each contributed four-point nights. The Lakers, who are just a point back of the New Westminster Salmonbellies for third place in the WLA standing, will host league-leading Victoria on Friday.
Juniors silence Thunder The Burnaby Lakers scored ďŹ ve times in the third period to silence the Langley Thunder 10-8 in BC Junior A Lacrosse League action Sunday at Copeland Arena. Trailing 6-5 at the end of two, Bryan Gillis got the Lakers even 48 seconds into the third, beating Langley keeper Ryley Brown after a setup from Jaxson Lee. Reegan Comeault scored shorthanded less than three minutes later to reestablish Langley’s one-goal lead before three straight goals by the Lakers put them in front for good.
A third shorthanded goal by Brandon Bull got the Thunder back to within a goal with less than four minutes left in the third period. But Colton Dow’s fourth goal of the game snuffed any further hope for a comeback. Dow also had two assists on the night to lead the Lakers. Lee had six points as well, and Jackson Decker scored a goal and four assists. The victory put the brakes on the Lakers’ four-game losing skid, including an 11-10 squeaker to Victoria on Saturday at Bear Mountain Arena.

CREA updates housing forecast. Strong activity in British Columbia in first quarter. The Canadian Real Estate Association has revised its predictions for 2011 and 2012 home sales activity. National home sales activity is now expected to reach 441,100 units this year, a slight decline of 1.3 per cent from 2010. However, this is revised from an earlier forecast of 1.6 per cent. This is due to stronger-than-anticipated activity in British Columbia in the first four months of the year. In 2012, the CREA predicts that national sales activity will rebound by 2.6 per cent, to 452,500 units. This is in line with the 10-year average for annual activity. “Home buyers expect mortgage interest rates to rise and are mindful of their current and future debt levels,” says CREA President Gary Morse. “They’re doing their homework
to better understand how their mortgage payments and family budget might change down the road before they make an offer.” However, Morse says that though mortgage rates have increased recently, they are still keeping financing within reach for many prospective homeowners. “Some housing markets are hotter than others, so buyers and sellers would do well to consult their local Realtor to understand how supply, demand and prices are evolving in their housing market,” he says. One such hot housing market is Greater Vancouver, where multi-million-dollar property sales have surged. These sales have skewed average sales prices for B.C. and nationally, which has prompted the average price forecast to be revised higher.
‘Designed for real people’
The Station a perfect stopping place by Kerry Vital
Buyers looking for the perfect place to stop will find a home at Aragon Properties’ The Station that is just a bit different than any other residence available right now. “These are homes designed for real people,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “We want to build homes that are pleasing to the people who live there.” The Station is built for buyers of all ages, but Wan says that Aragon is looking to attract first-time buyers. “They’ve reached their new station in life as homeowners, hence our tagline: ‘You Have Arrived,’” says Wan. Aragon is proud of their reputation for building homes that people buy in order to live in, instead of the speculative buying that drives up demand and prices in other parts of the Lower Mainland. “Port Moody is not a hot market (like Vancouver is),” Wan says. “The buyers here are people who genuinely plan to live there.” With amenities such as schools and shopping less than a block away, The Station is perfect for people in all stages of life, and buyers will appreciate the perks that come with a smaller community. “Port Moody has one of the lowest crime rates (in the Lower Mainland),” says Wan. This has made the area attractive to buyers planning for the future. “People want to be part of a community,” says Wan. “They want their kids to feel safe.” About a quarter of the 106 units have already been sold, and buyers should be able to move in at the end of 2012. Homeowners looking for a lot of natural light will be quite at home at The Station, as the outside will feature plenty of glass, accented with brick. Many homes will have a view of the mountains, making for a beautiful view whether you’re a morning person or do your best thinking after dark. The development is a mix of twostorey townhomes and apartments featuring one or two bedrooms. The ground floor will include retail space, putting residents in the right place at the right time for a bit of shopping. Inside, buyers can choose between two different interior colour schemes, Air or Earth. White oak engineered

Every floorplan features an open-plan layout in the kitchen, dining and living areas, making it easy to keep an eye on your family or have a conversation while preparing a meal. Floorplans range from 600 to 1,100 square feet.
The kitchen, perfect for preparing your latest gourmet delicacy, features a modern tile backsplash and a stainless-steel single-basin undermount sink with a Kohler polished chrome pull-down faucet, ready for washing vegetables or filling that pasta pot. No detail has been overlooked, making The Station a great place for entertaining or a solitary night at home. Bathrooms are smooth and modern, featuring cool ceramic floor tiles and a sleek undermount Kohler sink. Both the kitchen and bathrooms include polished-quartz countertops, and flat-panel square-edged oak cabinetry, contributing to a contemporary and harmonious feel to the entire home. The Station is just a block from the Westcoast Express train station and a proposed Evergreen Line SkyTrain station, making it a great place to live for people commuting to and from downtown Vancouver. “At the end of the day when you’re tired, you’re just one stop from home (on the Westcoast Express),” says Wan. As the director of sales and
marketing, Wan deals with anyone looking to purchase an Aragon home. “The best part (about buying at The Station),” Wan laughs, “is that people get to talk to me!” Homes at the Station start at $250,900. For more information, visit www.thestationliving.ca or call 604917-0112.
