Bikes bad for nature?
Wildlife refuge?
Alan James of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee is raising concerns about a July 13 mountainbiking race in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. He’s worried about eroded sediment from the trails washing into delicate salmon habitat.
City streamkeeper doesn’t think bike race should be held in conservation area Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
A local streamkeeper is raising concerns about an upcoming bike race through the heart of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. Alan James, a longtime member of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee, is worried about the cumulative effects that races like the July 13 “Cardiac Classic XC” have on the trails and delicate salmon habitat. The conservation area is on the east side of the mountain, where the race will take place. “It’s meant to be a wildlife refuge area. It’s not meant to be for commercial, recreational activities, and the headwaters of Stoney Creek, Silver Creek and Eagle Creek are all being crossed by the paths these bikers are going to be running on,” he said. “It’s not just this one event. It’s the cumulative effect of all of these things on the mountain, and I don’t see how … they are going to be able to devise a sustainability strategy for Burnaby and carry on with that activity.” James is mostly concerned that heightened activity in the conservation area leads to erosion of trails and sediment washing into creeks and smothering salmon eggs.

a member of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee, James, along with other volunteers, has worked for years to bolster local salmon populations in the creek by monitoring water quality, removing invasive species and releasing tiny salmon into the
water. James is also concerned the race will damage vegetation along the trails and disturb wildlife. “This one race by itself probably isn’t going to do a tremendous amount of visible
damage at this one time, but this kind of race over and over again over a long period of time is going to do damage,” he said. In a promotional description of the race, Bike race Page 5
Burnaby seniors want wheelchair fees scrapped Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
A group of Burnaby seniors is upset about the provincial government’s plan to charge user fees for wheelchairs in residential care homes. Voices of Burnaby Seniors

Doorway to a better life
New home: Lisa Fedorak (at left) alongside Habitat for Humanity CEO Tim Clark, addresses the crowd at a keydedication ceremony for her family’s new home.
W
hen Lisa Fedorak was given the keys to her new home, she fell to the floor, completely overwhelmed with emotion. The mother of two and her husband are the recipients of a Habitat for Humanity home that’s been under construction for more than five years, and last Thursday, they were finally given the keys to the Burnaby townhouse. “You have no idea, I’ve been crying for the last week,” Fedorak said. What makes the home more special is that it was built to accommodate Fedorak’s seven-yearold daughter Scarlett, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder that has left her using a wheelchair and walker. Their new home is fully wheelchair accessible, with wider doorways and halls, a ramp out front and a bathroom that is easier for Scarlett to use. It’s a far from the Fedoraks’ previous ON MY BEAT cry Jennifer Moreau home, where they couldn’t even fit their daughter’s wheelchair through the door, so she was forced to crawl on the floor or have her parents carry her around the home. Everything the family’s been through made the Thursday key-dedication ceremony all the more moving. Fedorak was giving a speech at the event and hadn’t even seen the finished home yet. “Then they gave Scarlett the keys,” Fedorak said. “She goes up the ramp, … with her walker, she turns the key, and I start bawling, and she’s “She goes up the laughing because she’s so excited. … I walk in and ramp, … with I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, her walker, she this place.’ … I fell to the turns the key, and floor.” Habitat for Humanity I start bawling, is a non-profit organizaand she’s laugh- tion that helps families ing because she’s who would not otherwise qualify for a conventional so excited.” mortgage. The organization provides volunteers LISA FEDORAK to build the homes, and Scarlett’s mom the recipient families are required to put in sweat equity – 500 hours of labour building their own home or houses for other families. Without Habitat for Humanity, home ownership in the Vancouver housing market was next to impossible for the Fedoraks, especially given the financial toll of having a sick child. The family was living paycheque to paycheque, and Fedorak took years off work to stay at her daughter’s bedside in hospital. “We had no options,” she said. “We were spending beyond our means, but Scarlett’s life, she was the most important thing in our life. She was what mattered.” Now, the Fedoraks have an interest-free mortgage, and payments are never more than 30 per cent of the household income. 6

Keys to the house: Scarlett, 7, tries the keys to her family’s new, wheelchair-accessible home in Burnaby.
Stephani Samaridis, a fund development director with Habitat for Humanity, said the key-dedication event was very emotional for everyone involved. “Our mission is to eliminate the cycle of poverty, and allowing families like the Fedoraks a handup in situation where they wouldn’t be eligible for a traditional mortgage is what were all about,” she said. The Fedorkas’ home is part of a larger, 27-unit townhome complex constructed by Habitat for Humanity, which recently completed the last phase of the project.

RCMP search for missing mom Cayley Dobie staff reporter
Burnaby RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a missing woman who disappeared from her apartment Tuesday night. According to a press release, Susan Mitchell put her kids to bed on July 2, and when they woke up Wednesday morning, she was gone. The kids contacted a neighbour who then
called the RCMP. Police say this behaviour is “out of character” for Mitchell and are treating the disappearance as very serious. “We are treating this investigation as high risk and we have Sue Mitchell assigned investi- Missing since gators from our Tuesday night investigational
support teams, serious crime unit, assisted by general duty and other Burnaby sections to this matter,” said Staff Sgt. Steve Crawford in the release. M i t c h e l l is a 30-yearold Caucasian woman with shoulder length dark brown and
dyed blonde hair. She is 5’6” with a medium build and was last seen at her Willingdon Avenue apartment on Tuesday night. Anyone with information, or who may have seen her since July 2, is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 and speak with the missing persons unit. ◆ For updates on this story, go to www.burnabynow.com
Starkers and cooking eggs Cayley Dobie staff reporter
A Burnaby man is in custody following a break-in police are calling bizarre. Around 7 p.m. on Tuesday night, police were called to a home in East
Vancouver after the resident found a naked stranger cooking eggs in the kitchen. According to a media release, the man fled when confronted by the resident and was found a “short distance away” and subsequently arrested by officers.
Police said they believe the man had been in the home for 20 to 25 minutes and had taken a shower before the resident found him. The 30-year-old Burnaby man is in custody while the Vancouver Police Department awaits charges. cdobie@burnabynow.com
Bike race: City monitors impact of activities continued from page 1
organizers say “a few hundred cyclists and volunteers will descend on Burnaby Mountain with bikes, food and swag in tow.” The city’s parks department is supporting the race, along with the Burnaby Mountain Biking Association and Cycling B.C. James wants the city to protect keep the conservation area as a place for wildlife. “It’s a money issue for Burnaby tourism,” he said. “We just think the city should be more diligent protecting this as a wildlife refuge area rather than a commercial recreation area.” Dave Ellenwood, head of the city’s parks department, said James had some valid concerns, and that the city monitors the sediment in the creeks. “If there was an appreciable difference before and after the race, we

wouldn’t allow the race to continue if it adversely affected the streams and creeks in the way he’s suggesting,” Ellenwood said. “This is a race that happens once a year, and we’ve got recreational riding at much, much greater volume throughout the year.” Ellenwood pointed out that the conservation area has also been used for recreation for many decades. “It’s in the middle of an urban area. The same people who enjoy it for a walk in the park use it for recreation,” he said. Ellenwood also said the city uses before-and-after photographs to see if the race causes any damage. “If there’s significant damage, we’d either say you can’t have the race in that area or you can’t have the race period,” he said. As for establishing a working group for the conservation area, Ellenwood
said James has presented the idea at parks and recreation meetings on a number of occasions, and that Coun. Sav Dhaliwal’s response was that the city already has various points of contact, including the parks commission, the environment committee and the ongoing environmental sustainability strategy work. “(A new working group) would just be another layer of bureaucracy that would focus on a very narrow band of concern,” Ellenwood said. “Now, the conservation area is an important area of the environment, but the environment committee exists with citizen representation to deal with that sort of thing. So does the parks commission.” James still wants a group that includes all stakeholders, because the conservation area includes headwaters for Stoney, Silver and Eagle creeks.

can now give an immediate sanction to a driver who blows over the legal limit, then get back on the road. But the new laws have their detractors. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association for example, is an intervener in a case called Chisholm et al. v. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles – brought by people challenging the tougher regulations. The association believes the laws are unjust because the only evidence of impairment is the result of the roadside screening device, which it says is not as reliable as a breathalyzer and yields
results that would not stand up in court. The group also says the laws are unjust because they impose severe penalties without a criminal conviction. The presumption of being innocent until proven guilty is the cornerstone of our legal system, yet getting drunk drivers off the road saves lives. How do we balance these competing interests? It seems the get-tough camp has already won, since it’s impossible to argue with a grieving parent holding a photo of a child who was killed by a drunk driver.

Re: Owner is still looking for a new spot, Burnaby NOW, June 26. I’m writing in response to the article in the June 26 issue of the Burnaby NOW, where the Dolphin Theatre’s challenge of finding a new home on the Heights is described. We at the Heights Merchants Association are just as sad as anyone in our community is to see this small but important theatre close its doors – particularly since there is no cultural/entertainment institution waiting to take its place in our neighbourhood.

that is planned for the block and are always thrilled to see investment and new life breathed into the Heights. But we acknowledge that this exciting change does come with the poignant loss of the Dolphin. Every longtime merchant and community member knows fully the role this theatre has played in North Burnaby over the past few decades. For many of us, it was “our” theatre as we were growing up. The HMA longs for a neighbourhood business district that is a pleasant place to walk, shop and hang out in during the day and during the evening. We would love to see the idea of a “dinner and a movie” realized again in our community. Economic development is strongest with a broad

Grateful to be giving back
Dear Editor:
Our appreciation volunteer luncheon was held at Willingdon Care Home. Many thanks to a great staff, who made such a heartfelt appreciation possible. After the loss of a loved one 25 years ago – group therapy was suggested to cope with my loss – instead I volunteered to help others at Willingdon, which proved to be excellent therapy for me, to see smiles of gratitude in helping the less fortunate has been very rewarding for me, to this day. Many thanks, Willingdon. Rose Bernard, Burnaby

Here is a surprising thought: virtually every family in B.C. will access social services during their lifetime. Young families search for day care. Parents struggle to support a child with developmental disabilities. Victims of domestic abuse, violence or sexual abuse must leave home, deal with the police and justice system, protect their children. Teenagers find themselves living on the street, coping with homelessness, poverty, sometimes addiction or mental health
issues. New Canadians struggle to find their way in new communities. Our parents and grandparents search for affordable, appropriate accommodation and supports as they age. Social services address all of these issues. The needs are increasing while resources grow tighter. We cannot simply throw more money at the issues, but holding the line, as inflation and population grow, means service providers are stretched ever tighter. The government has made it clear there is little new money for health, education, or social services. So it is timely that five metro Vancouver social service agencies are calling for a new approach. Board Voice, a pan-provincial organization of volunteer boards, brought together the boards of Family Services of Greater Vancouver, Greater Vancouver Community Services Society, Options Community Services of Surrey, Pacific Community Resources, and PLEA Community Services. All are calling for a province-wide discussion to begin creating a Social Policy Framework that would define a vision of better lives for our children, our parents, and ourselves. How we as people, as communities, as organizations and governments respond to the needs of our children, our aging parents, new immigrants and victims of violence defines us. Responding to these human needs challenges us all. We can grow our economy and our communities while improving our quality of life. But we need to begin this conversation now, to define how we do it. If we don’t – or if we fail – we will leave many behind completely. There is a better way. Help us create it.
Proposed Burnaby Tree Bylaw Amendments Burnaby has had a Tree Bylaw in place since 1996 to protect the City’s trees and neighbourhood character. The purpose of Burnaby’s Tree Bylaw is to protect ‘significant trees’ from unnecessary cutting or removal and to protect and enhance the Urban Forest over the long term. We are seeking your input on a number of proposed amendments to the Tree Bylaw to enhance the City’s approach to tree protection.

trust. More importantly, governments need to publish employee costs. Public sector workers doing the same jobs as private sector employees are compensated a third more in wages and benefits, For example, sick leave is a huge cost to government. Canadian government employees averaged 18.2 days (almost one month) of sick leave last year. Governments should routinely publish sick leave usage not by individual but employee group. There are a host of
other benefits, including indexed pensions, in the public sector that are the envy of those toiling privately. On top of these is the significant matter of “job for life,” where (substandard) performance seldom results in termination. In education, for example, a Canadian study estimates about five per cent of teachers are incompetent but the termination rate is approximately 0.002 per cent. Governments can make a huge leap in transparency by publishing these data for easy access by the public.
“Easy” means more than hidden as a roll-up and then buried in financial statements. The proverbial elephant is now in the room. In the public sector we’re getting less for more, and in the private sector we’re getting more for less. Governments are the managers of this inefficiency, which can be corrected by pursuing accountability through greater transparency.

SFU pressured to drop oil company investments Marelle Reid staff reporter
A student group at Simon Fraser University has joined a national campaign that’s pushing campuses to divest endowments from tar sands and other fossil fuel companies. Sustainable SFU, the independent notfor-profit student society, joined the Fossil Free Canada campaign, launched earlier this year by the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, which aims to encourage universities to pull their investments in fossil fuel corporations within five years. “Sustainable SFU, as an organization, in January, passed a motion to initiate this campaign and to call on the university to divest from fossil fuels, to immediately freeze all new investments in fossil fuels and then, over the next five years, to end their investment in co-mingled funds,” said Mike Soron, executive director of Sustainable SFU. Soron acknowledged the process of divesting from such funds is a “very difficult thing to do” but suggested the case for divestment is not just environmental, but also economic and that investing or continuing to invest in fossil fuels is “a massive liability.” “Our role is not in being a financial advisor; we’re just sort of sounding the alarm on some problems we have with some of the values in the investment practices here at SFU,” he said. Several student groups have officially endorsed the campaign at SFU, and more student groups and staff members are expected to sign a petition this summer, Soron said. Throughout North America, divestment campaigns have been launched at more than 230 post-secondary schools, including the University of Victoria and Camosun College, according to Fossil Free
Canada. “The events of 2012, from Hurricane Sandy to record Arctic ice melt make it clearer than ever that we need to act on climate change,” said Cameron Fenton, national director of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, in a written statement. “Universities have a moral responsibility to divest from the fossil fuel corporations whose business model is to burn five times the amount of oil, coal and gas the planet can handle.” In his statement, Fenton notes Fossil Free Canada has put oil pipeline companies Enbridge, TransCanada and Kinder Morgan on its divestment list, along with about 200 other companies. Pat Hibbitts, vice-president of finance and administration at SFU, could not confirm which specific companies are part of the university’s investment portfolio, but she did confirm SFU has investments in oil and gas companies as well as in mining companies. “We have investments in resource companies, for sure,” she said, noting the university also has “green” investments in its portfolio and is looking to add more. The bottom line, however, is that the university invests in whatever companies will earn a high enough return to meet its financial goal, she said. “Our obligation is to earn enough money on the investments to pay out the percentage we’re paying, which is four per cent right now, on our endowments, and we have a reasoned strategy to do that,” she said. Soron said Sustainable SFU will bring its formal request for the university to divest from fossil fuel companies to the university’s board of governors meeting in November. The group will also request the university be more transparent about its investment holdings. mreid@burnabynow.com
Centre is a ‘generator’ Stefania Seccia staff reporter
The $40-million Edmonds Community Centre opened on July 1, its 90,000 square feet filled with Canada Day celebrations. The new centre isn’t just a pool facility, but an economic and social generator, Mayor Derek Corrigan said in a press release. “The Edmonds Community Centre will be a new community hub, a gathering place that will offer many exciting benefits, including sports, follow us on
http://twitter.com/BurnabyNOW_News
cultural, health and arts programs, all in a functional and beautiful setting,” Corrigan said. “The richly diverse community of southeast Burnaby has seen many enhancements in recent years.” Coun. Dan Johnston said the centre has proven to be an economic generator, as well, by providing the equivalent of 50,000 employment days. “And this huge number of employment days doesn’t include all of the work generated for off-site suppliers and service pro-
viders, which accounts for thousands of additional personal days,” Johnston said in the release. “The Edmonds Community Centre is a tremendous community asset that will benefit Burnaby citizens for many years to come – but we began to realize those benefits, in the form of significant local employment, when planning for the centre began.” He also said the centre created the equivalent of 53 full-time employment positions, which equates to jobs for about 140 people.

City Block Watch program gets a facelift Burnaby’s Block Watch program has been modernized with emails and alerts Cayley Dobie staff reporter
With a population of more than 223,000 people, it can be easy to assume Burnaby is all big city with no small town feel. But the city and the local RCMP detachment have been working hard to keep this growing city from losing its neighbourly feel. Kingsway area resident Diane Gillis has been part of Burnaby’s Block Watch program for as long as she can remember. “After somebody had had their home broken into on our block,” Gillis said, when asked why she first joined Block Watch. But it soon turned into a way to meet her neighbours and to help keep her neighbourhood connected and engaged. “People just knowing neighbours, caring, watching out for each other,” she said. “It’s not like it’s … suppose to take a lot of time, but the fact that people connect and sort of keep that eye out (for one another).” Gillis spoke enthusiastically about the program and how much it has boosted her neighbourhood’s sense of togetherness. From something as small as knowing who belongs in the neighbourhood and who doesn’t to letting neighbours know when you’re going to be out of town, she said. “When communities have a sense of ownership and caring, they’re more resistant to crime,” she added. Gillis’ is part of a block with 14 homes – which could rise depending on how many people they can recruit at an upcoming block party this summer – located in the Kingsway area. While she’s no longer the block’s captain, she continues to help the current captain pass along crime bulletins and updates as required. Gillis said she’s noticed a change in the last

Keeping watch: From left, Block Watch members Nicholas Fong, Diane Gillis and Alex Vandalen are part of a 14-home block in Burnaby’s Kingsway area. In Burnaby, there are approximately 400 captains and 250 co-captains in the Block Watch program, and each is required to complete a training program before they can begin their duties. Gillis, a former Block Watch captain, says block watch provides a sense of small town community, not always felt in a big city. few years with the block watch coordinators at the Burnaby RCMP. “Now there’s more electronic communication like email distributions, and something that comes out now is that if an area is having a spike in break and enters, for example, (the RCMP) will send us an alert,” she said. Gillis said these alerts usually feature tips on how to protect your property from the specific threat. These alerts are all part of the new crime prevention program that has been taking shape in Burnaby since the 2009 implementation of the city’s crime prevention strategy. “The programs are still functionally the same but our whole unit about how we did business, how we connect with our community – right starting with our job names and titles

unit on all the programs so they could cover any topic or issue that arose. “We’re fully trained and educated in any courses we need to take,” said Mindy Manhas, the other crime prevention program facilitator. There’s still one facilitator position to fill but that doesn’t mean these women are doing less work while they wait for the final teammate. Gresiuk said the facilitators are hard at work each week, planning information sessions, crime forums and writing bulletins and alerts for blocks across the city. The facilitators also gather information from crime trends in Burnaby and put together bi-weekly alerts for blocks in targeted districts. Gillis said collaboration between the city, the RCMP
and the community is vital to keeping Burnaby a closeknit place to live. Being part of the block watch program is a win-win in her books and was the inspiration for the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association, of which she is president and founder. “That sense of caring and connectiveness that some of us have experienced in smaller communities,” she said. “…It doesn’t mean it can’t happen in our community and I think it’s really reassuring to people and there’s more of a sense of community even though we are in a fairly large city.” For more information on Burnaby’s block watch program, visit burnaby. bc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca and click on the link for community services and programs. cdobie@burnabynow.com

Playground for Ferrari lovers
Ferrari World, touted as the world’s largest indoor amusement pavilion, opened its doors in December 2010 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The whimsical roof features a giant Ferrari logo that tops the nearly onemillion-square-foot climate-controlled structure. Some of the venue’s more than 20 rides and attractions include state-of-the-art racing simulators, a racing school for junior drivers, a “journey” through the inside of a Ferrari engine and what is claimed to be the world’s fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 150 mph (240 km-h). Day pass prices start at US $53 for children and US $64 for adults. Go to www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com for more information.
Hot rod strollers and trikes for tots
You might not have the funds to acquire a classic hotrod, but you can still drive (push, actually) one on the sidewalk with your youngster comfortably seated in front. Each custom-built Roddler baby stroller is constructed using a high-grade aluminum frame and suspension, stainless-steel hardware, chrome grips, painted steel fenders and rubber tires mounted to 52-spoke pivoting front wheels. And when the principal user is past the crawling stage, the Roddler can be converted into a hotrod tricycle with the available Enzo Trike Kit containing optional handlebars, fenders, headlight, pedal assembly and other components. The basic Roddler sells for US $3,500, while the Enzo Trike adds another US $950 to the purchase price. Check out the Roddler for yourself at www.KidKustoms.com.
Tighten seatbelts when off-roading
Seatbelts enhance safety, as we all know, but for comfort they allow your upper body to move around, partly because the belt slides through a central buckle (the latch part). For drivers venturing off-road who simply want to be held in place more securely when traveling on public roads, there’s CG-Lock. It works similarly to a professional racing harness by locking the centre buckle, but won’t interfere with the operation or safety design of a regular belt. CG-Lock’s metal clip can be attached to any three-point seat belt, as demonstrated by the company’s online video, and will allow you to “dial in” as much or as little slack as you need. And installing or removing the device won’t damage the seatbelt’s webbing. Each CG-Lock is about US$60 and can be purchased at www.cg-lock.com.
before you ship the car. RAY: All 1996 and later cars have a system called OBD II. That stands for On Board Diagnostics … uh, two. This is the second generation of OBD. OBD is a system of monitors that continuously check things that relate to a car’s emissions – things like the catalytic converter, whether the engine is misfiring and whether the fuel-tank vapor-recovery system is keeping gas fumes from leaking out into the air. TOM: If anything that affects the car’s emissions is not working correctly, that monitor will tell the computer, and the
computer will command the Check Engine light (also known as the MIL – Malfunction Indicator Light) to light up on your dashboard. RAY: So if the Check Engine light is off and the car’s monitors all report that they are “ready,” then your car will pass that part of the emissions test. TOM: You can have that stuff checked at any repair shop that has a scan tool, which almost every shop has these days. They simply plug their scan tool into your car’s OBD port, and it gives them a readout. If the readout says “monitors ready” and the
Check Engine light is off, you’re good to go in New York or Arizona. RAY: Actually, they allow you to pass even if you have one monitor that is not “ready.” For instance, one thing that’s monitored is the fuel-tank pressure. The tank is supposed to be able to hold pressure rather than release gasoline fumes to the environment. But if you just refueled the car, that monitor may show “not ready.” So the one monitor exception is designed to give you a pass on reasonable faults. TOM: The second part of Arizona’s emissions test just checks your gas cap,
to make sure it holds pressure. Your local garage can check that, too. RAY: Keep in mind, though, the one thing that leads to emissions-test failures is a dead battery. If your battery dies, or it is disconnected while the car is being shipped, all of the information in the OBD II system will be wiped out. That means you’ll need to drive the car 25 or 30 miles, with enough restarts, for the OBD system to collect enough data to be able to report again. TOM: But other than that, if it passes the OBD II in New York, it should pass in Arizona, too.

Is there anything we can do before we go through the expense of transporting his car to Arizona to determine if we will have to put money into it to meet Arizona’s emissions standards? – Richard TOM: Absolutely. RAY: Does this involve taping a Benjamin Franklin to the underside of the registration? TOM: No, this is legit. For cars that are model year 1996 and later, the emissions inspection is done by computer. You can have the same test done locally

Car sharing changing the urban landscape
Courtney Hansen
C
oming from the wide-open spaces of Minnesota, the concept seems a bit foreign to me, but brilliant, too. Charge a small yearly membership for access to rental cars, 24/7, and pay by the hour. No gas, no insurance charges and no spending your pennies for time that you don’t need. I’m kind of amazed that no one has thought of it before, but “car sharing” is a concept that’s catching on in urban areas where apartment and condo dwellers tend to walk, take the bus, or ride a bike to get their daily tasks done. Owning a car doesn’t make as much sense as it does for people who actually rely on them; people who live in the suburbs or more rural areas and have a lot of running around to do. Instead, companies such as Zipcar put “carsharing” rental lots in dense downtown areas for round-trip use. Taking full advantage of computer networking and the ability for almost anyone to get online from anywhere, members simply book a car with their computer or cellphone for the time they want, get to the lot, swipe to gain access to the vehicle, get the keys and drive off. No waiting in line, no contracts and no need to concern themselves with office hours. The cost, about $8.75 per hour for the rental, might seem prohibitive for longer periods, such as a vacation, but there are the usual rental companies for

might affect sales of new vehicles. Zipcar suggests that the average vehicle sits idle more than 90 per cent of the time, all the while car payments are being made, insurance (sometimes a deathblow cost for younger drivers) is being paid and maintenance is being done. If you’re from Minnesota, you can add shoveling the driveway in the winter to the list of peeves. For the right person, doing away with all that expense, in addition to parking fees, might just make sense. Why do I say “might?” Because I also think the same type of philosophy could be applied to cars that are owned: pay as you play. Could a company such as General Motors figure out how to package insurance and its
Would that be a strong enough incentive to steer clear of car sharing? I’m sure that more people would have second cars and more students who live at home would have cars if they only paid for the time they were actually used. So, while the car-sharing model might appear
vehicles into an hourly rate structure? Perhaps the hourly rate is a bit less because gas would be the driver’s responsibility. And a monthly standby fee could be added that’s proportionate to the value of the vehicle sitting there. Maybe it would be zero for a Chevy Spark, and $300 a month for a Cadillac XTS.
to be a threat, perhaps it can serve as inspiration for others in the transportation field to improve the way they do business. Flexibility is where it’s at and the companies that can provide the best combination of cost and convenience stand a good chance of being the flavour of the week.

that. University campuses are another hot spot for car sharing, and it would appear that airports are also on the list. Avis, the company that first brought rental cars to airports, bought Zipcar for a cool US $500 million. Putting Zipcar lots beside the Avis fleets could make sense for flyer convenience. For Avis, the Zipcar model dovetails nicely with the whole rental-car thing, but since Zipcars have to be returned to the location where they came from (no one-way trips), hanging on to a car for more than a half day might not be cost effective. They won’t replace cabs and shuttle buses anytime soon. One of my first thoughts was that if car sharing could be made convenient enough it

Portrait Homes raising the bar for excellence
T
he BC Homes and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (CHBA BC) Home Building Persons of the Year award is like winning an Academy Awards for builders. Brothers Rob and Harry Grimm, principals of Portrait Homes Ltd., were in Burnaby recently to receive this year’s coveted honour. This prestigious award recognizes builders who set the standard for the rest of the industry in terms of quality, exceptional level of service and customer commitment, while employing an innovative company model. “We are extremely proud. Because this is a corporate award handed out by our peers, being singled out like this is a testament to the dedication of our whole team,” says Rob Grimm. The company has always adhered to a culture of making sure customers are happy during every step of the home building process. “Everyone in the company is focused on ensuring each customer is treated with respect and receives excellence in customer service each and every time,” adds Grimm.
Since Portrait Homes’ inception in 1989, the Grimm brothers have amassed scores of Grand, Gold and Silver Georgies as well as critical acclaim as a leader in residential home builders in the province by the GVHBA – a testament to their ingenuity and leadership. Portrait Homes is certainly unique in many ways, and one way is its company culture, or what Grimm likes to call “a culture of celebrating individual and team successes and wins. “We want our employees to love coming to work,” he says. “We make sure that in our focus on customer happiness, we don’t lose sight of our own.” The company’s secret to its continued success? Breeding an atmosphere based on commitment to excellence in all facets of the business — consistency, business practices above reproach, teamwork, highly-skilled and professional staff and accountability. It is that dedication to superior customer service that allows Portrait Homes to
continue to raise the bar in the industry. It’s also the reason the company has a very low turnover rate. “We treat all our employees and subcontractors as an extension of us … we truly are team players,” adds Grimm. “Each employee takes ownership of their department and we encourage and nurture that atmosphere.” In fact, Portrait Homes employs a flat hierarchy, in other words, although everyone knows their job description, no one is above rolling up their sleeves and helping where help is needed. Grimm says in the end it’s about creating “the perfect home and buying experience in order to build long term relationships with its customers.” The awards reception was held on Tuesday, June 25 at the Delta Hotel in Burnaby.

Lakers still looking for left side help Tom Berridge sports editor
The Burnaby Lakers made an unsuccessful pitch to bring Dane Dobbie back to Burnaby at the Western Lacrosse Association trade deadline. The veteran high scoring forward was the key mover in a blockbuster deadline trade that sent Dobbie, goalie Nick Rose and Damon Edwards to the Langley Thunder in exchange for No. 7 draft pick Brandon Goodwin, defender Matt MacGrotty and the Thunder’s thirdround pick in 2015, or if Dobbie plays more than four games for the Thunder next season, the Adanacs will receive Langley’s firstround pick the following year. Dobbie, arguably one of the most consistent lefthanders in the game, has scored 269 goals and nearly 550 points in league and playoffs since being drafted into the league by the Adanacs in 2008. He led the league in scoring in 2010 with 51 goals and 100 points. “We would have liked a lefthander and a goalie. We would have taken the Coquitlam package,” said Burnaby president Ed Safarik. “We picked up (Jason) Jones earlier, and he’s been good for us. … but we didn’t think anyone would be available. Anytime two MVPs become available, why wouldn’t you explore it?” We tried, but we weren’t successful.” The Lakers did trade away their fourth-round

host to its 11th annual invitational meet at Bonsor Pool, dominated the six-team inter-club meet with. Multiple race winners included Brandon Cai, Naimoi Donald, Kristian Dukic, Marko Dukic, Ryan Hong, McKinley, Steven Qin, Samantha Skene, Rachel Su, Eric Xiong and Helena Zhou. Cailen Yiu, Andrew Xing, Mitra Suseendran, Fahad Qureshi, Mike Lazarevic, Matthew Hong, Alex Chung and Taia Yuen also picked up multiple medals for Dynamo at the two-day meet. Nathan Donald, Nozomi Ozawa and Kayla Zivkovic also medalled.
The Burnaby Lakers won their season series against the Victoria Shamrocks, beating the No. 2 team in the country at home. The senior A Lakers walked into Bear Mountain Arena and did what no Western Lacrosse Association team had been able to do this season, coming away with a 10-8 win on Wednesday. The victory gave Burnaby the season-series edge 2-1. It also boosted the Lakers’ road record to 4-3, the only winning record in the league to date. The loss was Victoria’s first this year at home. “It really comes down to the guys producing and paying a price to score,” said Burnaby head coach Rory McDade. “Our defence was the difference. We shot well, but our defence really shut them down.” Trailing the first-place Shamrocks for most of the opening period, rookie righthander Tyler Digby had arguably his best game as a Laker, sparking a late three-goal rally with his first of two goals in the win. Twelve seconds later, first star Dane Stevens, who is putting together a strong case for an all-star season, tied the game 4-4. Rookie Robert Church then gave the Lakers their first lead with his first of two goals on the power play. “It looked like it gave us a lot of confidence,” McDade said of the mini first-period rally. In the second period, Pete McFetridge put the visitors in the lead for good, opening the middle frame with an unassisted goal on transition. Less than a minute later, Digby potted his second of the game, giving Burnaby a 7-5 lead. T.J. Cowx scored the eventual game-winner later in the period. Stevens tallied a teamhigh six points, while Dan Lewis picked up the game’s

A tall honour: Russ Heard, left, will have his No. 9 jersey retired in a pre-game ceremony at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre today (Friday). Game time is 7:45 p.m. draft pick Richard Lachlan to the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the June 30 deadline. In return for Lachlan, the 25th overall pick of the 2013 junior entry draft, the Lakers acquired the Salmonbellies’ninth-round pick in 2014 that they had acquired from Burnaby in an earlier trade. Lachlan, a former Port Coquitlam junior, had not played a game this season with Burnaby. In other deadline deals, the Nanaimo Timbermen traded Ryan Keith and Mike Berekoff to the
Coquitlam Adanacs. In return, the T-Men added Jimmy Delaney and a fourth-round draft pick in 2014. The Coquitlam Adanacs also sent Jon Harnett to the Victoria Shamrocks in exchange for a secondround pick in the 2014 WLA draft that Victoria had earlier acquired from the New Westminster Salmonbellies. Langley further strengthened its lineup by acquiring the playing rights of NLL rookie of the year Mark Matthews from the Brooklin Redmen.
No. 9 retired
Friday will be a very special day for Russ Heard and the Burnaby Lakers franchise. The senior A club will retire Heard’s No. 9 number in a pre-game ceremony prior the WLA contest between Burnaby and the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on July 5. Heard’s jersey retirement is the first such celebration in the 25-year history of the Lakers franchise.
“(Heard) is a great player and a good citizen. It’s something that is really important to him, and it’s something we should recoqnize,” said Ed Safarik. “He’s very popular with the players. It’s a great thing Burnaby is doing for him. It’s well deserved,” said New Westminster president and general manager Dan Richardson. The night will kick off with a salmon barbecue, beginning at 6:45 p.m. There will also be some entertainment. The pregame and faceoff will take place at 7:45 p.m.
Aquatics swimmers take 15 AA medals Sabrina Porreca led a fiveswimmer Simon Fraser Aquatics team with three gold medals in six podium appearances at the recent AA long course swim championships in Victoria. The 14-year-old Porreca won the 100- and 200-metre butterfly, and the 400m individual medley, while also taking home the silver medal in the 800m freestyle. She also shared in two relay medals – a silver in the 4x50m medley and a bronze in the 4x50m free. Miranda Shewfelt was also a big winner. The 13-year-old Burnaby Mountain swimmer took gold in both the 200m backstroke and
400m free and silver in the 100m back and 800m free. Shewfelt was also a member of the medal-winning girls’ relay teams. Nicole Sue was a double gold medalist for SFA. Sue, 12, placed first in the 200m free and IM. She also shared in a silver in the medley relay. Danielle De La Gorgendiere also claimed gold for the Burnaby club in the 13-year-old girls’ 100m fly. De La Gorgendiere also picked up a pair of relay medals. Miranda Anderson, a bronze medallist in the 200m back, also shared a third-place medal in the SFA free relay. The Simon Fraser squad earned a total of eight gold, four silver
and three bronze medals at the championships. The Burnaby-based Dynamo Swim Club also picked up four medals at the Victoria long course meet, including one swimmer with a AAA time. Erin Patterson, 11, won the 100m free in a AAA time of 1:11.45. Patterson also picked up a pair of bronze medals in the 100 and 200m back. Helena Zhou also medalled in the girls’ 11-and-under division. Zhou won a bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke, while making finals in two other events. Aivrey McKinley, 13, made the finals of the 100 and 200m breast. Last weekend, Dyanmo played

Off to school: Burnaby’s Luke Lockhart will go from the Seattle Thunderbirds to the UBC Thunderbirds, when he suits up for the collegiate team next season.
Burnaby Minor comfortable in the ThunderBirds’ nest For Burnaby Minor hockey product Luke Lockhart it’s once a Thunderbird, always a Thunderbird. The graduating captain of the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds, committed to next season with the University of British Columbia varsity men’s hockey team this week. Lockhart, 20, played five seasons for Seattle, leading the team to the playoffs for the first time in four years last season. The 5-11, 189-pound centre scored 25 goals and compiled 49 points in his final season of major junior hockey. He was also voted the team’s most valuable player by his teammates. Lockhart made a reputation for himself as a gritty and tenacious two-way player in the WHL, racking up 75 goals, 165 points and 146 penalty minutes in 345 career games.
“Luke brings instant leadership and character to our program,” said UBC Thunderbirds head coach Milan Dragicevic. “He is a former captain in the WHL and will have a positive impact on UBC on and off the ice. We are pleased that Luke decided to attend UBC to continue his hockey and pursue a great education.” Lockhart is the fourth ex-WHL player to commit to UBC for next season, along with Greg Fraser, Wes Vannieuwenhuizen and Brandon Underwood. “UBC is a great school with a solid hockey program,” said Lockhart. “I’m looking forward to being a part of it all.” Earlier this year, Lockhart was given a tremendous honour as the City of Kent, Washington, which is home to the Seattle Thunderbirds, declared March 16 Luke Lockhart Day. tberridge@burnabynow.com

St. Thomas More grad Jon Cornish was named a Canadian Football League’s player of the week, following a 172-yard performance in a season-opening win for the Calgary Stampeders over the B.C. Lions last week.
Cornish carried the ball 24 times and averaged 7.2 yards, while scoring twice in Calgary’s 44-32 win at home on June 28. The former University of Kansas Jayhawk also caught one pass for 20 yards.

third star vote with a 26-save performance in goal. Chase Williams also scored a pair of goals for Burnaby. While the senior Lakers have had some less inspiring efforts following big wins this season, McDade is hopeful that Wednesday’s victory at Bear Mountain might change all that. “Definitely, this game has got to give the guys confidence. It’s real tough to play there,” McDade said. Tonight (Friday) Burnaby will face New Westminster at the Copeland centre at 7:45 p.m., where Laker great Russ Heard will have his No. 9 jersey retired in a pregame ceremony.
NLL reaction
Former Washington Stealth transition player Justin Salt will be enjoying playing closer to home following last week’s news that the National Lacrosse League franchise will be moved to the Langley Events Centre next season. “I’m very excited about the news. This will mean more family and friends can come to our games,” said Salt, who plays for the Western Lacrosse Association Burnaby Lakers and is in his second season with the pro Stealth. “I want to thank all the fans and people of Everett for the great support they gave me for the two years I played there. It was a wonderful experience. I’m really looking forward to the next season.”

Power point: Curtis Moss of Burnaby won the men’s javelin at the Harry Jerome Track Classic on Canada Day with a mighty toss of 76.86 metres.
Junior B’s gear up for strong finish Burnaby continued to position itself well for a playoff push, following a pair of wins in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League last week. The junior B Lakers started the week with a 12-6 win over fifth-place Port Coquitlam. Burnaby then defeated a Langley team that was in disarray. At home, Burnaby came back from a 2-1 first period deficit, scoring five times in the second period and outscoring the visitors 6-1 in the final frame. In Langley, the game was played in
running time against a home side with just six players. The wins boosted Burnaby’s league record to 12-4-1, two points shy of second-place Delta and just five points back of Coquitlam. Kevan Galte scored four goals and added three assists against PoCo. Aaron Roberts and Scott Petursson both added six-point outings. Franco Caporale chipped in with a goal and three helpers, while Ryan Lasaleta also potted a pair.
The Burnaby Lakers suffered their worst defeat of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season in Coquitlam. The junior A club managed just one goal in a 171 manhandling from the Coquitlam Adanacs at the Coquitlam Sports Centre on Wednesday. The first-place Adanacs rained 23 shots on the hapless Lakers in the opening period en route to a 5-0 lead. Coquitlam built up a seven-goal advantage before Denver newcomer Connor Pagnani broke the shutout, scoring his fourth goal in five junior A games at 6:47 of the middle period. The A’s answered with eight goals to close the second period, holding a 14-1 advantage. Robert Hall stopped 41 shots on the Burnaby goal. The loss dropped the Lakers to 1-18 this season. Burnaby closes out its season against the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m.
