COUNCILLORS, FORMER PARKS COMMISSIONERS’ PERKS INCLUDE FREE TEE TIME ON CITY COURSES

Taxpayers foot the $41,904 bill for VIP golfers Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The City of Burnaby spent nearly $42,000 last year for councillors, commissioners and other local dignitaries to golf at Burnaby Mountain and Riverway.

In a breakdown obtained by the NOW, 18 current and former city officials and one freeman used the city’s complimentary pass system to waive $41,904.59 in charges, including green fees, at the two Burnaby golf courses.

Wayne Peppard, who sits on the

parks commission, racked up $7,898.24 between both courses, though the vast majority was spent at Riverway. Former commissioner Jim Kozak wasn’t far behind, with $6,354.51, though he opted to spend more time on Burnaby Mountain.

Mayor Derek Corrigan had the highest golf usage out of all of city council, charging $5,717.65 to the city for some tee times. He did not respond to an interview request by the

NOW. The passes, issued annually by the parks, recreation and culture commission, grant cardholders free access to numerous city facilities with an unrestricted number of guests. Additionally, the commission approves a list of complimentary pass recipients – which includes school trustees, library board members and other nominees – for similar perks with one guest.

Other big spenders with the system include Coun. Colleen Jordan, $4,674.20; school trustee and BCA council candidate James Wang, $3,518.10; commissioner Lee Loftus, $2,677.89; and Coun. Paul McDonell, $2,633.40.

Combined with Corrigan, Peppard and Kozak, those seven members accounted for $33,473.99 in fees - nearly 80 per cent of the golf usage.

The pass program has a yearly limit of $50,000 across all users. Last year, cardholders collectively reached $47,275.78, Golf Page 8

oter turnout among the 18 to 35 demographic is a shared concern with all levels of government in Canada.

But the importance of democracy was not lost on SFU students in a recent streeter by the NOW. In contrast to the stereotype that young people are disinterested in voting, students at the university’s Burnaby campus expressed their concerns with local government and explained why they are casting their ballots this November.

“I feel like if I don’t vote, I’m wasting my time,” said psychology student Sabeha Ramji.

“I’m going to live here for years to come – why not put my word in?”

Many of the students polled referenced the lack of democracy in other parts of the world as a strong reason to vote in the upcoming municipal election.

“It’s important because we have the opportunity to,” said Naseeba Kara, a health science major. “There are so many countries in the world that don’t.

“I’m not a very politically knowledgeable person, but just having the opportunity, I think I should take more advantage of it.”

While seniors tend to vote in high numbers – really, it’s not just something Lisa Simpson said – young voters account for only 15 per cent of all ballots cast, even though they make up about 30 per cent of the population.

The under-35 age group is a challenging crowd to reach, so politicians may address the concerns of older generations to garner votes.

At least, that’s how 18-year-old engineering student Ricky Guan sees it.

Jacob Zinn/burnaby now

Having a voice: Sabeha Ramji, a psychology student at SFU, is one of many young people

the w talked to who believe in the power of voting. But young voters still account for only 15 per cent of all ballots cast, although they make up 30 per cent of the population.

“That’s definitely the case sometimes,” he said. “Why would they bother to cater to our needs if we’re not even going to vote for them?”

In the last municipal election, Burnaby’s overall voter turnout dropped to 23.29 per cent, down from 23.49 per cent in 2008. Based on the 2011 numbers, if every young person

voted in the last election, the turnout would’ve been just shy of 50 per cent.

And that’s what these students hope for to engage their non-voting friends.

“Down the road,” said Guan, “there’s going to be that one guy who caters to the youth and they turn out to vote.

“We definitely want to be heard.”

Voting: ‘It really does matter’ The Burnaby NOW is asking locals about the importance of voting and what matters to them in this year’s election.

This week, the NOW talked to SFU thirdyear business student Kelsey Dries: Q: What prompted you to make your vote count in last year’s provincial election?

A: “Partly, it was my parents – they always said you don’t have a right to complain unless you voted. It’s the little thing you can do to have an opinion.

“I think a lot of people feel like their voice

doesn’t really count even if they vote because they don’t see a lot of change anyway. I have friends who say they don’t bother voting because it doesn’t really make a difference to them, but it really does matter. I feel it actually makes an impact.

“I’m from Coquitlam, and for the B.C. leaders, a lot of the votes for the different districts were for the Liberals and the NDP. A lot of them were very close – it was, like, 50 votes in one district. That could make a difference in your community.”

‘It would be disrespectful to take it for granted” With Burnaby’s municipal election looming, residents across the city are gearing up to go to the polls on Nov. 15. Before the ballots are cast, the Burnaby NOW is asking locals about the importance of voting and what matters to them in this year’s election.

This week, the NOW talked to SFU English and history student Sam Willett: Why do you think voting is important?

“To say it’s important, it’s kind of … everyone will say that, but it’s something that we have here in Canada that you don’t get in other parts of the

world. I think it would be disrespectful to take that for granted. You have other parts of the world where they don’t have voting, or they have voting but they don’t have the same setup as we do here: it’s not fair and it’s not an accurate representation of what the people want in their leaders.

“It’s important to vote because we need to appreciate the things we’ve been given here and what we have in Canada. We have this privilege, and we should use it to express ourselves.”

– Jacob Zinn

OUR VIEW

Get off your butt and vote already IN MY OPINION

I

Julie MacLellan

confess, I’ve always been a bit of an election geek. I couldn’t wait to turn 18 so I could vote – it was, as far as I was concerned, far more exciting than driving a car.

To this day, I find elections entertaining. I love the campaigns – the brochures, the door knocks, the Tweeting, even the all-candidates meetings. And, on election night, whether I’m working or not, I tend to remain glued to election results coverage online or on TV (or both) regardless of whether the vote at hand is municipal, provincial or federal.

All of which, however, I find secondary to the one act in an election that still thrills me: casting my ballot. Despite the fact that I’ve done it dozens of times in the 25 years since that very first trip to the polls, there’s something about heading to the polling station and marking my “X” that remains oddly exciting.

That one small act makes me feel that I am doing my part for democracy – that although I am but one voice, it’s one voice among thousands (or millions) and together we add up to a

whole greater than the sum of our parts.

Admittedly, I have a poor record when it comes to backing winners; for a while there I almost felt compelled to send apology cards to any candidate I voted for, as they all seemed to go down to ignominious defeat.

Admittedly, too, I have enormous issues with the first-pastthe-post electoral system, particularly in provincial and federal elections – I don’t for a second believe it properly reflects the actual wishes of the people. (But that’s a column for another day.)

All that aside, I still vote every time I can. And there’s no surer way to make me crazy than to tell me you don’t vote.

I hear it often, and from many people whom I consider to be thoughtful, intelligent, contributing members of the community.

Usually, the “Oh, I never vote” is accompanied by a statement something like, “Why bother?

They’re all corrupt/greedy/ stupid/untrustworthy/insertunflattering-adjective-of-choice here.”

Sorry, people, I just don’t buy it. For one thing, it’s not true – sure, politics has its share of corrupt/greedy/stupid/untrustworthy people, just like any other field. But to paint all political hopefuls with the same brush and use it as your lame justification for not being bothered is just not good enough.

Voting Page 7

lors and mayor who call the shots on an incredible number of things that directly impact residents’ quality of life here in Burnaby. While school districts are completely dependent on provincial money, school boards determine what policies and programs go live or get the axe. Yes, federal governments set the rules for a lot of things that overlap with provincial and municipal governments. You only have to read the daily headlines to see the battles for who handles what and who gets cash to pay for what. It’s just one big endless tug-of-war.

And we understand that witnessing all the political battles is enough to make any potential voter throw their hands up in the air. But if we took that approach to everything in life, we’d never do anything. There are endless reasons to be cynical about everything – including politics.

Seriously, if only about one in five eligible voters vote, then that means, even in the best of circumstances, a minority is determining how we are governed. That is very scary stuff in a city like Burnaby.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Science trumps fearmongering Dear Editor:

I am always impressed with the way science can knock down decades of baseless, misguided rhetoric and innuendo. Take the individuals and organizations who thrive on spreading baseless information; people with one axe or another to grind. A good scientific study or two can easily shut them down cold with inescapable facts.

A case in point can be found in the Sept. 16 edition of The Vancouver Sun: “Fracking doesn’t ruin nearby ground water supplies.” The article reports on two different scientific studies, in two geologically different areas of the States, that prove fracking does not pollute ground water – even 18 months after the fracking has been completed.

Here in B.C., there is over a decade of research

showing that B.C. lakes and waterways often have a mineral content much the same as the surrounding rocks and ground. When tested, the water and sediment in some B.C. lakes and waterways resembles the natural mineral concentrations found locally in the area, and the levels are sometimes near to, or even above, the levels considered safe for humans and fish.

That is why I strongly suspect science will soon conclude, as it already seems to be doing, that the “contaminant” minerals found in and around the waterways near the Mount Polley mine breach are much the same as the mineral profile of local rocks and ground sources. These so-called “contaminants” are minerals that have been working their way into the region’s waterways for centuries and even millennia through natural erosion – and

Hydro put burden on widow Dear Editor:

My husband and I have been living in the same house for almost 60 years, and we had an account with B.C. Hydro for all that time. We were both against the smart meters. We believed they are hazardous to our health and will invade our privacy.

Recently my husband passed away, and

I thought the right thing to do was to put the account in my name as I would continue to make the payments. Instead of changing the name on the existing account I was given a new account number.

I feel this was done to give Hydro the opportunity to remove any option of retaining the old meter. I find this highly unethical. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have left the account in my husband’s name although he was deceased.

When phoning Hydro, after a meter installer came to the house, we were told that they will continue to send meter installers to the house and if we were not home it would be installed without our permission.

Also, if we did not conform our power could be cut off. I feel that this is putting an extra burden on an elderly woman who has just lost her husband. Could this not have been avoided?

F. Gauthier, Burnaby

Voting: No excuse for staying home continued from page 6

If you don’t like the people who are being voted in, then ask yourself why. Could it be because you – and people like you – aren’t bothering to have a say? The people getting elected are being chosen by somebody, so if you don’t like who the rest of us are choosing, then get off your butt and do something about it.

If you don’t like the quality of the people running for office, that makes it even more important for you to get involved – ask questions at all-candidates meetings, hold the hopefuls’ feet to the fire about what matters to you, write letters to your newspaper editor; heck, even run for office yourself.

And, on election day, if you’re really unhappy, then march to the polls and spoil your ballot in protest.

But whatever you do, just don’t write off that chance to vote.

How can you in all conscience not cast a ballot when, in other parts of the world, people are literally dying for that simple privilege?

I know it’s a cliché to say it, but as always, it’s a cliché because it’s true.

History is full of stories of

nations that fought long and hard for the right to govern themselves, of oppressed people who rose up and defied despotism and tyranny of all stripes for the right to determine their own destiny.

Even here in Canada, that right hasn’t always been clear for all of us.

When my grandmothers were born, women didn’t even have the right to vote – the federal Act to Confer the Electoral Franchise upon Women wasn’t passed until 1919. Other groups – like ChineseCanadians and JapaneseCanadians – were even less fortunate. The federal Elections Act was finally amended in 1948 to remove race as grounds for exclusion from voting. Even then, First Nations people didn’t earn the right to vote in federal elections (without losing their treaty status) until 1960.

I could go on and on.

But the point stands: People have fought long and hard for this one right, and you’re writing it off because – whatever excuse you wrap it up in – you just can’t be bothered?

Big fail.

So, frankly, if you don’t get out there to the polls on Nov. 15, then I don’t want

to hear what you think about much of anything.

I don’t want your opinion about traffic, or taxes, or schools, or parks. I don’t want to know whether you hate the highrise that’s being built down the street or whether you feel safe walking in your neighbourhood at night. I don’t want to hear you moan about the lack of ice time at your local arena or the fact that your local soccer fields are of poor quality or the fact that the city needs a new theatre or a better art gallery. Because you have a say in all of those things – and if you’re not availing yourself of it, then I’ll thank you to keep your opinions to yourself.

Democracy gives us many rights, which go hand-in-hand with responsibilities – the very simplest of all of those responsibilities being the simple act of marking your choice on a piece of paper.

As the saying goes, we get the government we deserve.

meaning golf accounted for more than 88 per cent of the system’s use.

It’s unclear if other Lower Mainland cities have similar systems, though a City of Vancouver spokesperson confirmed they do not issue complimentary passes for city facilities to their officials.

Colleen Jordan Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who Derek Corrigan $5,717 $4,674 chairs the parks, recreation and culture commission, said of the hat to commissioners and the card promotes the city’s councillors for their work.

part in developing these facilities or serving on a committee,” he said. “Commissioners don’t get paid (to hold their positions), so this is sort of a small token of appreciation from the city for their years of service.”

Dhaliwal also noted the mayor and councillors are taxed for their use of the card if it exceeds $100, and if they bring someone with them to a facility, they are taxed for their guest’s use. However, freemen, current and former commissioners, and library and school board members are exempt.

City lawyer raising questions on NEB authority Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The city’s lawyer is asking if the National Energy Board has already made up its mind on the central question in the battle with Kinder Morgan over Burnaby Mountain: Can the federal government override municipal laws?

Burnaby’s lawyer Greg McDade wrote the NEB Wednesday, asking if the Oct. 9 hearing on the pipeline conflict with Kinder Morgan is already compromised, following comments the board’s spokesperson made to the Burnaby NOW. In the letter, McDade cited a NOW article where spokesperson Sarah Kiley said the board has the jurisdiction, under the NEB Act, to rule on constitutional issues.

“If this statement is correct and made on behalf of the board, the hearing would seem to be compro-

mised,” McDade wrote in the letter to the NEB. The board, however, instructed the city and Kinder Morgan to come to the hearing, prepared to answer the following question: “ D o e s the board h a v e the legal authority to determine that

The NOW asked Kiley to explain why the NEB would ask Kinder Morgan and the city to bring arguments on the board’s authority if the board is already confident it can rule on the matter. Kiley explained that, in general, the board can consider (not rule on) constitutional questions related to the NEB Act, but in this particular case, the board’s authority is still up in the air. The board is not pre-judging the case, she added.

“We really are going into this with an open mind. We want to hear what people have to say,” she said.

Professor Doug McArthur, director of SFU’s School of Public Policy, said the NEB knows it could be challenged and

Burnaby’s specific bylaws that Trans Mountain is alleged to have breached are inapplicable, invalid, or inoperative in the context of Trans Mountain’s exercise of its powers under paragraph 73(a) of the NEB Act?” The NOW asked Kiley to explain why the NEB would ask Kinder Morgan and the city to bring arguments on the board’s authority if the board is already confident it can rule on the matter.

Tories quash motion on question period NDP was asking for change to ensure answers are relevant to questions asked Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The federal Conservatives quashed the NDP’s motion to make question period in the House of Commons more relevant on Tuesday.

“We lost the vote on the idea, the radical idea, that answers should actually be relevant to honest questions in question period by 12 votes,” said Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian, who led the charge as Opposition House leader.

The final vote was 132 to 144, and only three Tories voted in favour, not one of which was Paul Calandra, the Conservative MP who recently apologized for his irrelevant answers during question

period.

Julian said the final count was close given the Conservatives whipped the vote.

“What a lot of the backbenchers in the Conservatives are saying is, ‘How are we going to explain this to our constituents?’ The prime minister told them to vote against this, but now they are going to have to explain why they don’t have Peter Julian to be relevant in their Burnaby MP answers,” he said.

Julian said the NDP would continue to raise the subject.

“I don’t think the issue is over. Canadians are very clear this is making a mockery of Parliament,” he said. “We will continue to demand, as the public demands, that intelligent question be answered.”

is going through a formal process, allowing both sides to make their arguments.

“The NEB is going through this formal stuff to cover its behind when challenges arise so they can say we gave them the opportunity to argue why, and we reviewed those arguments, and we made a decision,” he said.

McArthur also said if the NEB ruled in favour

of Kinder Morgan, the city could ask for a judicial review.

“That’s the court you go to to resolve the dispute. But first, this body makes its determination,” McArthur said. “Then the court can determine whether or not it had the power to make that. And that’s the judicial review process.”

The NEB hearing is scheduled for Thursday,

Star gazer: SFU physics professor Howard Trottier visits the site of the Trottier Observatory, scheduled for completion next February at SFU’s Burnaby

round broke on a $4.4-million observatory project at SFU’s Burnaby campus in September.

Orginally slated for completion in August 2014, construction on the Trottier Observatory began Sept. 9 ON MY BEAT and is expected Cornelia Naylor to last into February 2015.

“I’m extremely pleased with the way the project has developed,” said physics

professor Howard Trottier, who is spearheading the project, “and it actually makes much more sense to open it in the year of SFU’s 50th anniversary.”

The original timeline was only a rough estimate, he said, and planners spent the extra time working out landscaping details.

“The original project head once described the project as 90 per cent about the landscaping, and he was quite right,” Trottier said.

“The site will be seen and used by far more people during the day than on those nights when the weather cooperates and the observatory is open.

“The site should turn into a new focal point for campus and community life, and we wanted to use it to convey the science of astronomy and the beauty of the cosmos as revealed by science to the fullest extent possible.”

The observatory will feature a dome

Rhythm of Life a success HERE & NOW

T

Jennifer Moreau

he annual Rhythm of Life Walk/Run raised roughly $12,000 for cardiac rehabilitation programs in Burnaby.

The Burnaby Hospital’s cardiac rehab program and its participants organized this year’s event with a grant from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation.

The money raised came from pledges, donations to the foundation and registration for the run on Sept.

21 at Burnaby Lake.

Lovelace Day

Did you know Oct. 14 is Ada Lovelace Day? Lovelace, an English mathematician from the early 1800s, is considered the

world’s first programmer for her contributions to the Analytical Engine, a predecessor to the modern computer.

Every October, Ada Lovelace Day is celebrated around the world to highlight women’s contributions in science, technology, engineering and math – or STEM for short.

SFU is hosting two special events for Ada Lovelace Day. On Tuesday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., there will be an amateur crew editing Wikipedia pages to improve the profiles of SFU’s female researchers. Volunteers are encouraged to help, and you don’t need Wiki editing experience. The event will be held in SFU’s research commons on the seventh floor of the W.A.C. Bennett library.

Later that day, from 2 to 3 p.m., Jennifer Gardy, the Canada Research Chair in Public Health and Genomics at UBC, will

speak on women in science and their representation in media. This event is in the IRMACS theatre in the applied sciences building.

To RSVP for either event, go to www.lib.sfu.ca.

Award winner

Congrats to Burnaby’s Sarah Savic Kallesoe, a first-year SFU student who was recently given the Duke of Edinburgh Award, an international honour for youth.

Like all recipients, Kallesoe had to excel in five areas: physical fitness, skills, outdoor adventure, community service and social responsibility. Kallesoe received the award on Sept. 13 in Victoria.

Netweaving

The Bob Prittie Metrotown library is hosting an introductory event

on “netweaving.”

What’s netweaving, you ask? According to a memo we received, it’s a form of networking that involves making connections with others in a more authentic, genuine and caring way.

Laura Mack, a business consultant, and Katarina Thorsen, a Vancouver artist, are hosting the twohour workshop.

There will be netweaving exercises, so be ready to share and open your heart.

The workshop takes place on Monday, Oct. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Bob Prittie library branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave. Admission is free, but register by calling 604-4365400.

– David RAY: I see two problems with this, David. Well, maybe more if you include your impending divorce and your kids hating you.

TOM: Problem one is environmental: You’re washing petroleum products off of automotive parts, and sending them down the drain.

RAY: That means they’re either contaminating your city’s rivers and streams, or that that stuff is going into your septic system and potentially leaching into your own groundwater. Neither one of those, if you think about it, is a good idea.

TOM: Problem two is that you’re potentially poisoning your kids. The reason they spit out their milk like they’ve been poisoned is

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: My wife says using our dishwasher as a parts cleaner is hurting our dishwasher.

I say it is not. But I have learned to run an empty load after a load of parts so that all the dishes in the next load washed do not taste like transmission fluid. It avoids the kids spitting out their milk like they have been poisoned. I also have learned the length of the wash cycle, so I can complete the process before my wife returns home.

As a backup system, I have learned to set a timer so that I remember to remove the parts. I try to wipe all the transmission fluid, brake

because you’re poisoning them: They’re ingesting small quantities of petroleum distillates. This is also, if you think about it, not a good idea.

RAY: The key words being “if you think about it.”

TOM: If you really want to use a dishwasher to clean your car parts, then you need to set up a separate dishwasher in your garage with an appropriate way to capture the petroleum runoff.

RAY: My suggestion would be that you take the family dishwasher – the one you’ve already contaminated – and install that in the garage. Then buy your poor wife and kids a nice, clean, new one.

TOM: And then, for a few hundred bucks, you can get a grease trap, which will separate out the contaminants from the waste water. Then you’ll have to make arrangements to have the grease trap emptied and the toxins

RAY: And that doesn’t mean using them to water the tomatoes, David.

TOM: If that sounds like too much trouble, a good alternative would be to make a deal with a local gas station or repair shop.

Then when you need to clean parts, you pay them a few bucks to use their parts cleaner. They’ll have a grease trap and a contract with a hazardous waste disposal service that comes once a week, or once a month, to collect the grease and grime and haul it away.

RAY: And probably dump it down their own kitchen sink!

TOM: Actually, no. Not unless they want to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

The EPA takes that stuff very seriously.

Habits for better health HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

T

he greatest predictor of your health tomorrow is the habits you practise today.

I recognize four facets of self-care. They form the foundation of your future.

The first is what you eat (a healthy diet); the second, how you feel (effective emotional management); the third, how you relate (healthy relationships) and the fourth, what you do (physical activity).

For some illogical reason, human beings take some if not all of these four foundations for granted. We can spend more time websurfing and updating Facebook than talking face to face with the people we really care about. Most of us spend more time in chairs, in cars, on transit and in shopping malls than in getting the physical activity our bodies were designed for.

If we put more thought into what we eat, how we feel, how we relate and how we move, we wouldn’t leave choice to chance, and we would all be empowered to take control of our own health.

In fact, many of my patients feel they are too busy to fit healthy activity into their days. They see exercise as a luxury – something they vaguely hope they will get around to some time in the future.

But if you’re sedentary now, it is less likely that you’ll enjoy good health and be able to move so freely in the future.

Exercise is not just for athletes. Any body can adapt and improve with healthy activity. Even in our 60s, we can build muscle and increase strength with resistance exercises,

Maddock’s back

Choral music lovers, who’s excited about musica intima’s season opening concert this weekend?

(Insert my raised hand here.)

Just had to share a nice tidbit I learned from the choir’s Facebook page

Grand Luxe Hall at the Western Front Building, 303 East Eighth Ave., Vancouver, and then again on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Dunbar Heights United Church, 3525 West 24th Ave. Check out musica intima.org for tickets and details.

The art of Civil Disobedience

Photo contributed/burnaby now

Colour collection: Work by Graham Simpson is

featured in the Burnaby Artists’ Guild’s upcoming show, Oct. 24 to 26 at Shadbolt Centre.

– Burnaby’s own Steve Maddock is making a return to the choir this season.

Steve has been featured in these pages many times before, most recently for his appearance as Daddy Warbucks in Royal City Musical Theatre’s Annie in the spring.

As it happens, musica intima is a family affair – Steve happens to be married to longtime intima soprano Siri Olesen.

And regular readers may remember that the two have apparently passed their musical tal-

ent on to the next generation, since their daughter Aubrey was featured as the orphan Kate in Annie alongside her dad.

But back to musica intima. The choral ensemble opens its season tonight (Friday, Oct. 3) with dolce e crudele (sweet and cruel), exploring “the light and dark sides of human affections,” as the choir’s website says.

It includes works by Ola Gjeilo, Peter Berring and Morten Lauridsen, among others.

The concert runs Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the

Art lovers, there’s plenty of interest for you in Burnaby right now.

First off, don’t miss out on the upcoming exhibition at the Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery.

From Darkness Comes Illumination runs from Oct. 11 to Nov. 1.

The exhibition features the work of Gillian Worsley, who creates with Seonas MacMadh as the Civil Disobedience Company.

Worsley works in a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting, screen printing, installation art, textile and film.

“Gillian is inspired by words and their connection to how they make us feel; whether they be song lyrics, poems, quotes or fragments of ideas,” a

press release notes. “By creating portraits with words, she finds herself connecting with the subject matter in a way that is unrestrained and unrefined. It enables the viewer to look deeper into the persons whom she has portrayed.”

You can check out her work at www.civildis obediencecompany.com.

Or, better yet, drop in to the gallery to see it for yourself – there’s an opening reception at noon on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Deer Lake Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. It’s at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., and admission is free. Call 604-298-7322 or check out www.burnabyartscouncil. org for more details.

The Burnaby Artists’ Guild also has a show coming up for local arts lovers.

The group is holding its Colour Collection art exhibition and sale at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Oct. 24 to 26.

The opening is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening, Oct. 24, and the Lively City Page 23

Lively City: Library readings look at history and adventure in B.C. noticed that Nov. 23 is not a Thursday – the date should have read Thursday, Nov. 13.

Up next is Jay Sherwood on Thursday, Oct. 9, with a 7 p.m. presentation about his book Surveying Southern British Columbia: A Photojournal of Frank Swannell, 1901 to 1907.

show will be open Friday from 7 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Oops …

For those of you who plan your calendars in advance, I bring you a date correction.

On Sept. 19, you may have noticed an article on the arts front, “Experience adventure in fall reading series.”

The article mentioned a presentation by author Patrick Hill on Thursday, Nov. 23. In fact, astute observers will have

Leslie will be on hand with a talk and slideshow about Sechelt’s own Asta Bergliot Solberg – or “Bergie,” as her friends knew her – who, as a press release notes, climbed wild mountain trails to hunt for goats, spent a night in the woods wrapped in the skin of a bear she’d shot and thought nothing of rowing 25 miles down a dark, windy inlet.

“With equal ferocity she wrangled cougars, conservation officers and the police, who arrested her for packing a rifle in town,” the release says.

Leslie has pieced together Bergie’s life through interviews, local stories and personal anecdotes. Leslie is the author of three previous books and has co-authored three others.

The presentation runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Check out the website at www.caitlin-press.com for details.

Cougar lady

The library’s Bob Prittie branch is also getting into the spirit of B.C. adventures.

On Thursday, Oct. 16, the library will host a presentation by award-winning author Rosella Leslie, who’s touring B.C. with her new book The Cougar Lady: Legendary Trapper of Sechelt Inlet.

Fall chores made easier by garden’s gifts GREEN SCENE

I

Anne Marrison

n early fall, gardens begin offering gifts that are ours for the taking – all we have to do is recognize them and put them to work.

For instance, fallen leaves are one of the most valuable resources a garden can have. Used as a top-dressing on borderline-hardy plants, a thick mulch of fallen leaves can bring some most unlikely things through the winter.

Some years ago I was fascinated to talk to a gardener who regularly overwintered pleiones (dwarf ground orchids) under a mulch of fallen leaves. A thickness of about 30 centimetres was needed to get them through.

Leaves are also a good weed-suppressing mulch in the vegetable garden.

Layered around root vegetables they protect against mild frosts so that carrots, leeks and beets remain harvestable.

MANY HOMEOWNERS

ALSO HOUSE RENTALS

M

any Lower Mainland homebuyers aren’t buying a home simply as a principal residence: they are investing in the property as a partial or full time rental property. And, with the right purchase, it can be a smart investment for both the short and long term.

The rental vacancy rate across B.C. is now 2.7 per cent, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing, but it falls to a very tight 1.8 per cent in Metro Vancouver, with some neighbourhoods even lower.

Since very little new rental buildings are being constructed, the demand for rentals is largely being met by privately-owned houses, townhouses and condominiums. These units not only deliver rental units, but they also act as a mortgage helper for the homeowner.

According to the most recent CMHC survey, taken in the fall of last year, there are now 103,780 secondary

rental units in single-family houses, townhouses and row houses. As well, there are 48,528 condominiums in the Lower Mainland that are now being rented out, representing nearly 26 per cent of all condominiums. In central areas of Vancouver, rental condos now account for about 44 per cent of all condos, according to the survey.

Rental market conditions in British Columbia are influenced by a number of factors - growth in jobs, migration patterns, the relative cost of homeownership compared to renting, and changes in supply, including additions to the secondary rental market” noted Carol Frketich, CMHC’s BC Regional Economist.

Renting out a secondary suite or condo can be profitable. A survey by Altus Group show that the average two-bedroom condo in Metro Vancouver rents for $1,662 per month, and that the average rent for a two-bedroom

Renting a suite in a house: 103,780 Metro households do just that, says Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. suite in a detached house is $1,321. The typical threebedroom suite in a detached house rents for $1,624 per month. CMHC confirms that the vacancy rate for secondary suites is about the same as for the general rental market, but the vacancy rate for rental condos in Metro Vancouver is lower, at 1 per cent.

At today’s interest rates, $1,600 per month would cover the monthly mortgage costs on a $300,000 mortgage.

As Frketich notes, current conditions, with about 40,000 immigrants arriving in the Lower Mainland annually, a low unemployment rate of around 6.2 per cent, and the high house prices that keep young people from buying a home, all help to fuel demand for rental accommodation.

Talk to your local Realtor. He or she can direct you to residential properties that either contain rental suites, or to condominiums in areas with high rental demand.
