Full house for hearing on highrises

PRINCIPAL SHOWS OFF HER HIP-HOP MOVES

City staff directed to come up with a report on the contentious issue of renters being displaced when new highrises replace old blocks

By Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Burnaby council chambers was filled on Tuesday night with community activists and people worried they might lose their homes.

The hearing was for a rezoning application to replace two Burnaby low-rise rental apartment buildings with highrise condo towers.The threestorey buildings, located at 6380 and 6420 Silver Ave., were built in the early ’60s, according to a city staff report, and contain a total of 109 units.

The applicant, Belford Properties, is proposing a 41-storey residential tower atop a 6.5-storey podium with commercial, institutional and retail space, according to the report, and a 26-storey residential tower atop three-storey townhouses, with 479 residential units in total.

Council ultimately decided to have city staff compile a report replying to the requests brought forward at the hearing before moving on to the next step in the rezoning process, probably in the fall, according to Coun. Colleen Jordan, head of the city’s planning and development committee.

“There were a lot of different issues that came forward,” she told the NOW, adding two issues in particular were raised by several people.

“The whole issue of having a moratorium on the demolition of existing buildings, and also, somehow, council should provide a one-to-one replacement of the existing units in the new building,” she said. “I’m not actually sure legally, whether or not, we could do the demolitions piece.We operate under different rules than Vancouver does.”

Development in the city is a complex process, according to Jordan.

“There were a lot of people that, I appreciate when they’re there, they don’t have a really deep understanding of all these processes,” she said.

“So that’s one of the things that our staff report will lay out, so they have some sense of the community plan.”

Don’t believe her, just watch: Brentwood Park Elementary School principal Jillian Lewis and members of her staff bust a few moves at a school board meeting at Burnaby Central Secondary Tuesday.

The staff number was the culmination of a presentation showcasing hiphop skills staff and students in kindergarten to Grade 7 learned during a two-week session with 1-Vibe Entertainment, a group that hosts workshops across the district every year.

City film studio expands

Canadian Motion Picture Park in Burnaby is adding fifth building

By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s Canadian Motion Picture Park is once again expanding.

Known as one of the largest movie studio complexes in Western Canada, CMPP will be opening Cineprep (short for cinema prep work) by the end of this year, the NOW has learned. It will be the company’s fifth building since launching in 2001 with the original MJA Studios.

“This facility will be one of the largest stages in North America for a mega film,” said Alec Fatalevich, CMPP president. “If this concept works, we’ll put three more facilities like this in the next little while.”

Fatalevich couldn’t divulge much detail about the design and the technology to be installed because his team is still in the process of getting a patent. He did say, however, that it will be very “versatile,” giving both TV and film producers the ability to work on their projects all under one roof.

“As a producer, the biggest challenge is to find a place that you can do prep work for your film, where you can have the wardrobe department, construction services, special effects, vi-

sual effects, etc.,” he explained.

Cineprep will stretch over 47,000 square feet and will be located at 6008 Thorn Ave., just a couple of blocks away from the other studios. Right now, the site is still under construction, with shovels hitting the ground just last month.

Fatalevich, originally from Ukraine, was a biomedical engineer by trade.

It wasn’t until he moved to the United States and met TV producer and now wife, Marjorie that his love for the movie industry flourished. Both worked as independent producers for many years, at places like CBC and the Knowledge Network.

“Out of necessity, we decided to build our own studio because the business was very tough many, many years ago,” Fatalevich told the NOW during a recent interview.

In 1999, Fatalevich met Wolf Isachsen, a Realtor at the time, who helped secure the plot of land on Byrne Road for MJA Studios.

The first major motion picture to come knocking was I, Robot.

“That movie gave us an incredible push with credibility because they complimented the facility many, many times,” said Fatelevich. “After that, we figured we did something right, said let’s look at the bigger picture, and I moved from

being a producer to a developer.”

Isachsen, now CMPP’s vice president of development, and Fatalevich have since then expanded the business to include CMPP1 (built in 2004 on Glenwood Drive), which has four stages ranging from about 9,000 square feet to 21,200 square feet.

CMPP2 came along two years later with another four stages, followed by Pacific Studios in 2008, and now Cineprep. In addition to those interior sets, an entire NewYork City exterior set was also built nearby.

Some of the flicks filmed at the complex include Mission Impossible 4, the Twilight series and Godzilla.The TV series Supernatural, meanwhile, is currently heading into its 11th season.

When the complex is completely booked, Fatelevich said up to 2,000 people can be seen working on and off set, while up to 40 companies “make a living off the productions.”

When asked about plans for retirement, Fatalevich laughed.

“Age is determined by your attitude, behaviour and drive. It’s not what’s in your driver’s licence,” he said.

Burnaby became the first school district in B.C. to adopt an online fee-payment system after being burned by suspected fraud between 2007 and 2010.

In 2012, School District No. 41 filed a civil claim against Alpha Secondary School’s former bookkeeper, Jodi Fingarsen, alleging she bilked the district of more than $100,000 over three years, mainly by fraudulently cashing cheques, but also by converting “for her own use and for her own benefit, various amounts of cash received from numerous sources as a result of fundraising activities, donations, student fees and fees for field trips, etc.”

Two criminal counts of fraud over $5,000 followed.

But even before those cases started making their way through the courts, the district turned to an Internet fee-payment system, School Cash Online, in 2011.

“Alpha was our pilot school because of that situation,” accounting and audit officer Lynda Kerr told the NOW Tuesday.

Kerr and assistant secretary-treasurer Roy Uyeno were at a school board meeting Tuesday, updating trustees on the online feepayment system.

In 2014/15, more than $1 million was collected using School Cash Online, they said.

That’s still just 22 per cent of all fees paid, but the district hopes to make online payment the number one choice next year.

Besides being more convenient for parents and more time efficient for district and school staff, the system improves safety for students and teachers by cutting out the need for kids to carry money to school for field trips and hot lunches and for teachers to collect it, Uyeno said.

And fees paid online go straight into school and district bank accounts, so fewer people handle them.

Fewer hands on the money, means fewer chances for fraud.

“Nobody’s touching the money in this system,” Kerr told trustees.

While cash is the riskiest of all forms of payment, according to Uyeno, because it can disappear without any audit trail, cheques can also be forged or purposely deposited in wrong accounts – something Alpha’s former bookkeeper is alleged to have done.

But School Cash Online isn’t just about thwarting potential fraudsters, it’s also designed to make being a do-gooder easier.

Last year 186 donations totalling $12,285 were made through the system.

None of the allegations against Jodi Fingarsen has been proven in court. Her criminal trial is set for February 2016, and she has yet to respond to the district’s 2012 notice of civil claim, according to June 9 court documents.

Suspect charged A Burnaby resident is facing nine counts of theft for an alleged string of purse snatchings between January and April.

The 51-year-old man was arrested June 1 following an investigation by Richmond RCMP into a series of purse snatchings at shopping malls and restaurants throughout the city, according to a media release from the Mounties.

The alleged thefts began on Jan. 6 and continued with a second on Feb. 17, three in March and four in April, ending on April 24, according to online court records.

“This individual was extremely confident in what he did, how he did it, and who he targeted. His arrest comes from a large team effort using good old-fashioned police work and modern crime analysis,” said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Ray Basi, in the release.

Man arrested for break-ins Cayley Dobie

Police have arrested a prolific offender who allegedly committed a series of break-and-enters in South Burnaby.

According to RCMP, about two months ago officers began investigating a series of break-and-enters in the Marine Drive area.

They soon identified a suspect, and on June 4, officers witnessed a 38-yearold Burnaby man allegedly breaking into a home on Marine Drive.The suspect was carrying jewelry, a laptop and other allegedly stolen property police when he was arrested, according to a media release from the police department.

The suspect is now facing one count of break-and-enter following the June 4 incident.The investigation is ongoing.

“This arrest will have a significant impact in reducing the number of breakand-enters in South Burnaby,” Burnaby RCMP Supt.

Stephan Drolet said in the release. “Burnaby detachment has seen an increase in break-and-enters and the ability of (officers) to focus on such targets will make a substantial difference to our citizens, as well as reducing calls to police.”

On Aug. 10, the suspect in the recent string of breakand-enters is scheduled to stand trial inVancouver Provincial Court for another alleged break-and-enter in December 2014, also in Burnaby. In December 2014, he was also sentenced to one day in prison for a break-and-enter in August 2011. Before that, in April 2013, he was sentenced to 19 months and 25 days in jail after four break-and-enters in January of that year.

‘Dissidents’ reinstated Burnaby resident receives hand-delivered apology

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

It’s been a long time coming, but the “dissidents” who led the charge against B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins have been reinstated in their party.

That means longtime Burnaby resident and Conservative activist Ariane Eckardt is back in the Conservative ranks after she received a hand-delivered apology and letter officially reinstating her membership in the party.

“I’ve been vindicated. I knew we were doing the right thing, the man we were fighting was gone.

The party obviously got rid of some other people that were doing a lot of damage to it. Hey, I was right,” Eckardt told the __.

Eckardt was kicked out of the party back in 2012 after she and two others – Allison Patton and John Crocock – found themselves at the heart of an internal squabble over Cummins.

The three were collecting signatures in support of a leadership review for Cummins, who responded by kicking them out of the party, even though Eckardt has a lifetime membership.

Cummins eventually re-

signed, and the party, as Eckardt puts it, was decimated in the last election.

“He was not the person to support. He was mostly in it for himself,” Eckardt said of the former leader.

The trio sued but dropped the case when they were accepted back in the party. Small business owner Dan Brooks is the new party leader.

Eckardt is now the president of the Conservatives’ Burnaby North-Seymour constituency association.

Eckardt went on to help form a new provincial party, the B.C. Action Party, so her only problem now is which group to stay with since she can’t be a member of both.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

There’s too much money in politics Alberta’s newly minted NDP Premier Rachel Notley has passed her first piece of legislation – a bill that will halt donations from unions and corporations.

As long as it doesn’t leave loopholes big enough to drive a dump truck full of cash or bus full of campaign volunteeers through, we say it’s time for a similar law here.

Some argue that hefty political donations result in kid

gloves treatment for donors.

We’re not convinced that’s always the case, but the perception is there and that’s enough.

We too would like to be able to stand up and say to well-heeled interests: “Your money’s no good here.”

It never fails.

A scandal breaks and a day or two later, someone connects the dots on how much those at the centre of it donated to the rul-

It’s getting tedious, and it’s sullying people’s view of politics.

As campaign budgets

seem to keep climbing ever higher, almost every election sees more and more would-be voters finding a reason to stay home.We can’t help but feel there’s a relationship.

Prior to losing the last provincial election, the B.C. NDP floated the idea of banning corporate and union donations.

But the fact that Notley’s bill passed with all-party support in Alberta shows

it’s an idea any party can get behind, whether they’re left, right or really, really right.

To their credit, the federal Conservatives moved on this issue years ago.

We’re not sure why B.C. has to lag behind on meaningful democratic reform at both the provincial and municipal levels.

Each time there’s an election, rumblings begin again that now’s the time to change the rules on elec-

tion donations – and each time, the rumblings turn into a whole lot of absolutely nothing.

For the sake of democracy, it’s time for action in this province – and right across the country.

Regardless of what level of government we’re talking about, there’s too much money in politics.We could all do with a few less attack ads and robocalls.

Up in smoke, twice in a row!

A 22-year-old woman was lucky to be alive after her smoking habit sparked two upholstery fires in her Metrotown-area apartment in one night.The young woman came home around 7 a.m. one July morning after a night out celebrating a friend’s birthday. She fell asleep with a cigarette resting in an ashtray on the seat of her armchair.

Neighbours noticed smoke coming out of the apartment, woke the woman and doused the flames with water, but instead of going straight to bed, the woman lit up and fell asleep again.This time neighbours didn’t notice the smoke until it was almost too late.They called the fire department, and the woman had to be taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

City bureaucracies are a bit like junk drawers – they need a good purging every once in a while. Over time, politicians and staff birth new programs, create red tape and entrench spending on things that need to be rethought or scrapped given time and the plight of the overburdened taxpayer.

That’s why core reviews have gained popularity across the province.The modern wave started with Penticton, and more than a dozen B.C. cities have done core reviews since.

Nanaimo is the latest council to jump in, and as

they prepare for the review, the Harbour City would do well to remember the lessons of Penticton and Prince George.

Penticton’s core review was a major success and is still the gold standard for what can be accomplished.

In 2010, facing a potential 7.8 per cent tax increase, then-mayor Dan Ashton and his council ordered the review. Penticton’s success came because the council stuck together. No one gave into the temptation to try and score cheap political points by pandering to unions or other special in-

terest groups.

The same can’t be said for Prince George, which went through a core review two years later. It wasn’t nearly so positive, as council unity fell apart under pressure from CUPE – the municipal union.

One last piece of advice for Nanaimo, from former finance minister Gary Collins, who led B.C. through a core review in 2001. Collins and his colleagues looked at everything government did and asked three questions: What is government’s business? How are we going to

do it? And how can we do it better? Those three simple questions should frame every core review. Does the city need to provide this specific service, or can it be delivered by another business or organization? If Nanaimo must do it, is the best possible delivery model being used? Or can it be done better?

Core reviews can be bumpy. But if Nanaimo council is willing to stick together, adhere to agreedupon principles, find cost savings and challenge the status quo, property taxpayers will be better off.

Who would steal a tree from a church?

Are city employees being paid too much?

Dear Editor This letter is for the person who stole a small, red Japanese maple tree from our lovely church garden in Burnaby.

That tree was planted in April and was a gift for baby Dakota. She is the minister’s first child who had recently been baptized. The accompanying card read that we wanted to honour her life with us, and we hoped the tree would grow strong and beautiful just as she will.

We are all saddened by this loss and disgusted that someone would steal from a church garden, which is enjoyed by everyone in the neighbourhood.

Pat Young, Burnaby

Homeowners just keep getting penalized by rising property values Dear Editor For most, it’s satisfying when the assessed value of our home increases. The more it rises, the more we’re certain to realize an even greater return should we decide to sell. It’s a nice feeling, that. But then June arrives and so does the property tax bill.

It’s a bit of a downer to be reminded that a higher assessed value means a higher amount of tax. But, hey, everybody knows properties sell for more (sometimes much more) than the official assessment, so it’s not a great hardship, especially during these halcyon days of a seller’s market. So, a little pain for a bigger gain seems worth it. Besides, the home owner grant is there to help offset the higher tax bill.

But actually that’s no longer true. In 2013, the upper limit to qualify for the basic grant had risen to a property assessment value of $1,295,000. In 2014, however, the government arbitrarily lowered the threshold to $1,100,000, and there it stays. The result is that for the past two years (2014 and 2015), fewer and fewer homeowners have qualified for the full basic homeowner grant of $570.

In other words, since 2013 the B.C. Liberal government has pursued a policy of increasing the cost of owning a home.

Another sea of towers?

That’s the last thing Burnaby needs Dear Editor In February 2014, I attended the initial public open house on the proposed redevelopment of the Lougheed Mall. The display panels were coy about the scale of this project. I estimated that there might be 19 highrise towers (three business and 16 residential) upon completion.

On June 18, 2015, a second open house took place that incorporated public feedback from the prior meeting. Apparently the public wanted more highrise towers. The new conceptual site plan shows 25 towers with many zooming up 50 to 60 storeys!

How does this megalopolis “integrate” with the surrounding neighbourhoods? It doesn’t.

How is this urban design “exceptional”? It’s more of the same old, same old “Metrotownification.”

Is this enclave “livable” with a more extreme climate? Get a fan.

Debate over recall keeps on raging axholme This is democracy folks, whether you like it or not. If you want to talk about bullying Bibenesque let’s take a look at what this government is guilty of. People have died because of the bullying of its public servants by Christy Clark and her colleagues. Let’s have a public enquiry into that - and then we can talk more about about who does the bullying!

Mike B, you think it’s clever to frame this as a disgruntled teacher initiative, but It was more than just teachers involved in this campaign. And, yes, those of us involved did indeed learn a lot - though not in the patronizing way you mean Bibenesque. We know how the real world operates - there is plenty of corruption and lack of accountability in this government and we learned that we don’t just have to sit on our hands and watch the creeping rot between elections - we have the legislation to be able to draw attention to it and to demand more accountability.

Puppies pull in the kids The Silver Bullet Community Shred, which took place last weekend at the Edmonds Rona, raised $1,358 for the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society, according to Bailey Jung, president of Silver Bullet Shredding.

“Our community shred event on Saturday was a success,” he said in an email to the NOW. “We had lots of PADS volunteers with their dogs show up.”

With puppies galore and plenty of sun, the event attracted a crowd, with kids in particular happy to see the assistance dogs on site.

Jung partners with Rona on shred-athons throughout the Lower Mainland for a number of organizations, including the Autism Society of B.C. and Harvest Project of North Vancouver. PADS fundraisers often have the biggest turnout, he told the

NOW recently.

Those who attended the event were able to shred confidential documents for a donation, and there was food and drinks provided by Save-On-Foods, as well, with proceeds going to PADS. For more information about the society, go to www.pads.ca.

Together for green: Executive members of Moscrop Secondary’s Unity for Green environment club point to two portables at their school they’d like to see powered by solar energy through a contest by The Great Climate Race, a new Vancouver running event that will help pay for renewable energy projects.

Moscrop students race for green energy Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A couple of Moscrop Secondary portables could one day be powered by the sun if a group of environmentally conscious students gets its way.

Unity for Green, a Moscrop club dedicated to green projects and campaigns within the school, has submitted a proposal to the Great Climate Race to fund solar panels for the school’s two portables.

The Great Climate Race is a new Vancouver running event, scheduled for November, that will help pay for local renewable energy projects.

This month, organizers launched a #PutSolarOnIt campaign, calling for proposals for solar projects.

Moscrop students were quick to answer the call.

“I believe that it would be a great leap towards sustainability for Moscrop if the two portable classrooms were to be run completely by solar power,” Unity for Green executive Bill Xu stated in his club’s pitch. “Even though it will be a long journey until Moscrop is completely run by sustainable energy, I be-

lieve that by having the two portables completely run by solar power, Moscrop students and other Burnaby students will be inspired to take more action towards sustainability.”

In the longterm, Xu told the NOW his group would

like to pursue converting the whole school to solar.

“We have executives in the younger grades that are willing to take it on,” he said.

Unity in Green sponsor teacher Daniel Tetrault said the success of the por-

table project could well inspire the district to consider solar elsewhere, but his students’ proposal has to win the contest first.

“It’s a cool thing if it did win, but it’s just in the beginning stages,” he said.

Tertrault said he thinks

the district would back the portable plan.

“The costs would be covered,” he said, “and I know the district’s focus has been on cost-saving measures and in being environmentally friendly, so this would fit that bill.”

Enjoy EVERY MENU ITEM ALL DAY ONLY At Oliver Twist Public House!

The #PutSolarOnIt contest runs until Sept. 15.

For more information, visit www.greatclimaterace.org.

No one from the school district was available to comment before press time on whether the students’ proposal was feasible.

What’s growing in Burnaby backyards?

BurnabyVillage Museum takes a walk back into the history of urban gardening in the city this summer Justin Beddall

editorial@burnabynow.com

Did you know that onetime Burnaby reeve William Tate Willson played a key role in the local Victory Garden movement during the Second World War? In 1940,Willson gave a talk in South Burnaby called “The Vegetable Garden of Wartime” to share advice with area residents about planting backyard gardens to feed their families and bolster food supplies during a time of rations and shortages caused by the war.

That led to other Victory Garden talks around Vancouver. By 1943, there were more than 52,000 wartime gardens in Burnaby,Vancouver and neighbouring municipalities.

That’s just one of the interesting facts about the rich history of backyard gardens in Burnaby that will be celebrated during Hometown Harvest, this summer’s theme at Burnaby Village Museum.

Museum curator Lisa Codd explained: “Burnaby is a great place to grow food. It was in the past and is in the present. People have been growing in backyard (gardens) for decades and still are.”

Early inhabitants of Burnaby were attracted to the area because of the large, affordable lots that allowed them to grow their own fruits and vegetables and raise livestock – and still remain within commuting distance of their jobs in Vancouver and New West thanks to the newly established interurban tram

route, Codd noted.

During the Great Depression in the 1930s many Burnaby residents relied on food grown in their gardens to feed their families. A decade later, thanks in part to Willson’s championing of patriotic plantings, even more Burnaby residents had delved into urban farming.

“The Lochdale ARP (air raid patrol) helped organize a victory garden club in North Burnaby; hundreds of residents started gardens for the first time,” states a museum document.

Backyard gardens are still

Burnaby is a great place to grow food. It was in the past and is in the present.

growing strong in Burnaby, and as the gallery notes, there are different reasons why people do it: some do it for enjoyment, others for environmental or cultural reasons, with many bringing seeds to Canada with them so they can grow culturally relevant foods in their own yards.

To showcase this history of urban gardening and farming, here’s what the village has planned: ! A display at the village’s Stride Studios focuses on local food production from the 1860s to 1950s when locals grew food and raised animals on commercial farms, small family farms

and in backyard gardens. ! The village’s meadow garden has also been planted to demonstrate some of the ingenious ways different Burnaby families have triumphed over space limitations to grow crops that are traditional to their families, everything from tromboncino squash and shiso to black gram and Chinese long beans.Visitors will also learn about traditional recipes imported to Burnaby from a variety of different cultures and how gardens save money.

“We hope that people might be inspired to grow their own backyard garden,” Codd said.

There will be other harvest-themed events over the summer, including: Flora and Fauna Walking Tours with Takaya Tours of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation; Farmer in Residence Tours; Drop-in Garden Days; From Field to Ford program; and a Harvest Workshop Series.

In partnership with Burnaby Food First, village staff will also be presenting a series of six free expert-led garden-related workshops on Sundays from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., in July and August. Demonstrations and topics covered include: summer and winter container gardening, jam making, seasonal meal planning, preserving, pickling and bees/honey.

Throughout the summer the Village Museum’s harvested crops will be donated to Quest, a not-for-profit food exchange program.

For more information, go to www.burnabyvillage museum.ca.

Popular children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond is coming home to Burnaby to celebrate Canada Day. Diamond will be offering up a family concert at noon at Edmonds Park as part of the city’s July 1 festivities.

Diamond, who was born in Burnaby and lived in the Capitol Hill area until age 12, is celebrating 30 years of entertaining children and their families since the release of her Juno Award-

A former French and music teacher in New Westminster, Diamond is pleased to be coming back to her roots for the occasion.

She’ll be joined by her musician son, Matt, as they sing in English, French and Spanish and bring some of their newer compositions to the stage.

Diamond has recently released 24 Carrot Diamond

– the Best of Charlotte Diamond, which features such perennial favourites as Four Hugs a Day, the Hug Bug, I Am a Pizza, and Octopus (Slippery Fish).

She’ll be onstage at Edmonds Park (outside Edmonds Community Centre at 7433 Edmonds St.) from noon to 1 p.m.

It’s part of a day of festivities that run from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with crafts, bingo, cake, family activities

and more.

Ernie Maitland

Local hero: Longtime library volunteer Ernie Maitland received a local hero award from the City of Burnaby in 2014, presented by Mayor Derek Corrigan. He was a volunteer with Burnaby Public Library for a decade, championing teen services, home library services and staff morale.

Occupation COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER Why is he in the news?

Ernie Maitland spent roughly 10 years volunteering with the Burnaby Public Library, which earned him accolades from staff and a local hero award from the city in 2014.

In particular, he championed the teen services, home library services and staff morale. Maitland, 88, has lived in Burnaby for about six decades. He raised four children with his wife, whom he credits for keeping the family together. He worked as a traffic manager and transportation economist with Canada Post before

he retired about 20 years ago. He has nurtured a lifelong love of literature: he published two text books on international trade, and since he’s retired, he has taken up fiction writing.

Maitland never finished high school, but that didn’t stop him from earning a bachelor’s degree with honours in geography from Simon Fraser University while his eldest children were also attending classes on the same campus.

Because there’s more to life than what’s on the Internet.

Why was it important for you to dedicate so much time to the library?

Well, I enjoyed the association with the library board, with the members. I enjoy talking about literature, and I enjoy giving my opinion.

(Laughs) I guess that’s the short of it.

What got you interested in teen services?

There’s more to life than what’s on the Internet.

I have five teenage grandchildren and the fact that we didn’t have teen literature.The library had all kinds of stuff for the tiny tots, shall we say.They had all kinds of stuff for adults, but they had nothing for the teens and young adults. So, I asked the three experts – my granddaughter and two of my grandsons – and they said, “Grandpa, put stuff in there that the teens want to read.”

So I found out what the teens wanted to read and made myself a pest, pushing this type of literature at the board meetings and funds allocated to buy teenage literature and also to hire a teen librarian.They have now two teen librarians.

Why is it important to have something teens can find at the library?

You were also a champion of the home library services, where staff will deliver the books to you.

Why is that?

I need it. (Laughs) Just straight out, I have to use the home library service. …

They bring in books, CDs, reference material, you name it, magazines, to your home, and you have the opportunity of reading or listening. … When I first retired, I was able to go in the library and wander around and pick up what I wanted, now I’m not able to do that.

Communitynow Student tops at French contest Burnaby North senior French student Sophia Luo made her trip to Canadian Parents for French’s national public speaking competition in Ottawa count last month.

Luo placed second in the Grade 11/12 core French category at the 13th annual Concours d’art oratoire national competition May 30.

Luo qualified by winning the much older provin-

cial competition – now in its 32nd year – with a speech entitled “Pourquoi apprendre une autre langue?”

“It’s an incredible feat to make it to the finals,” B.C. Concours d’art oratoire chief judge, Renée Hamilton-Clark said in a press release. “Taking home a medal is a real achievement.We congratulate everyone who participated; they are all winners. Félicitations!”

‘The best run library’ Continued from page 15 What role do you think libraries play in the community today?We have over 100 different languages spoken in Burnaby, we can’t supply literature for 100 different languages, but we can supply a lot of material, and also we help these people get their reading through the Internet.We connect them to their home newspapers and things like that. …We’re not just a library in print, we’re a library in any mode you can ask for.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Burnaby library is known as the best-run library in British Columbia.They’re the best-run library in British Columbia, and a lot of people think they’re the

best-run library in Canada.

First of all, the board just doesn’t listen to themselves, they listen to the staff and the public.The management is the same.They’re busy listening to what the staff have to say. … This is why Burnaby library is so good.

They’ve got these packages for the newcomers.The refugees can come in and get a package that has songs from their home country.There are 25 different ones in the library, and I’m pleased to say I was part of getting that accomplished. It was a lot of work on the staff. … They did a heck of a fine job and got credit for it.This is the thing, one of the reasons it’s the best run library: It’s because the staff gets credit for what they do, and they do a fine, fine job.

Camry XSE

Its level of sheer competence is remarkable

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com • Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Excitement and the Toyota Camry are normally two concepts that are kept on separate shelves, in separate rooms, and possibly in separate houses. Maybe even on separate continents.

That’s not really a ding against the car, it’s just that the Toyota machine is designed around fulfilling the exact opposite of the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” The Camry is designed for dependability, steadfastness, comfort.

Raising your heart-rate? Save it for the gym, Romeo.

However, over the past few years, I’ve heard a whisper or two. Toyota’s 3.5L V6 is actually cranking out some pretty solid power. The chassis response on the SE models is good enough that a colleague actually took a 4-cylinder model on a racetrack and passed a few socalled sportscars.

Here’s the sportiest version of Toyota’s bread-andbutter family sedan, the Camry XSE. Could it be that the idea of excitement and Camryism be forged together?

Design:

From the front: meet Emperor Zurg. With a gawping, jutting lower grille dominating the front bumper, the current Camry looks a lot like the villain of Pixar’s Toy Story, and especially so in my tester’s Blue Crush Metallic.

As previously observed in a review of the Yaris, the folks at Toyota’s design department are obviously looking over the shoulders of the Lexus team, asking themselves, “Hey, why don’t we also produce vehicles with front ends like Phillishave razors?”

Happily, the rest of the XSE’s performance-oriented equipment has the effect of balancing out the aggressive front end. The polished-face 18” alloys give the car a more menacing stance, and fill out the wheel wells.

Overall, the shape of the Camry is relatively inoffensive, far less daring than something like a Mazda6. So far it’s not much to get excited about, but let’s take a look under the skin.

Environment:

The first thing to notice about the Camry’s newly redesigned interior is that it is once again a conventional layout, dressed up with a little sporty trim. Red stitching is the go-fast lipstick of the car world, and you’ll find it here in abundance. So too is alcantara a musthave if you’re going to affect a sprightly personality.

However, perch yourself on the seats – more “on” than “in” - and you’ll find that this does appear to be mere window dressing on an ordinary family sedan.

On the plus side, that means all the traditional Toyota attributes are there: huge rear seats, a capacious trunk, a straightforward layout for the controls.

Fit and finish are quite good, though the number of blank buttons on a thirty-five thousand dollar car is a minor irritation. Also not likely to set anyone’s heart aflame is the simple infotainment, which is easy to use, but slightly on the smallish side.

Practical touches abound, including a hard back to the rear seats that makes loading longer objects an easier slide when folded down. Still, as I sat high up in the Camry’s driver’s seat and prepared to tackle an onramp, expectations were modest.

Performance:

Behind its wild n’ crazy grille, the Toyota Camry packs a V6 that sounds, spec-wise, like nothing remarkable. It displaces 3.5L, produces 268hp at 6200rpm and 248lbft of torque at 4700rpm. It runs on regular gas. It doesn’t appear much different from other offerings.

However, even when paired to a conventional no-funny-

business six-speed automatic, the Camry is surprisingly quick off the line. You may be more grown up than the guy in the GTI next to you, but if you choose to zip ahead in the merging cue, no problemo.

It’s smooth as anything at idle, quiet and composed as you expect a Camry to be. Rev it up and the ‘6 sounds quite good, but the real surprise is just how alarmingly quick the speedometer climbs if you keep your foot in. The XSE chirps its tires off the line and then just pulls and pulls, surging forward – and, like I said, all on regular-grade fuel.

Show the car a corner or two, and a second surprise emerges. Even though this car is smooth and unruffled over bumpier pavement, a considerable amount of effort has gone into tuning the suspension. It corners surprisingly flat, and relatively quickly, zipping through a mountain apex with excellent aplomb.

The tires are probably the weak point here, 225-series runner that gives way if you overdrive the car into a corner. Try to left-foot brake to get the nose to bite and Toyota’s don’t-sue-us traction control kills the throttle.

But just listen to me: left foot braking, overdriving into a hairpin. This is a Camry, and it’s being discussed as if it were a 5-series BMW! But that’s the XSE, a mix of sporty contradictions to its mainstream roots. Those alcantara seat-inserts, for instance, keep you planted when the side bolstering doesn’t inspire confidence. The steering wheel doesn’t offer quite as much feedback as it could – again, could be talking about a modern BMW here – but the strengthened chassis does.

The XSE doesn’t feel bred to be a racer, but its level of sheer competence is remarkable. And isn’t that a Camry trait, to be remarkably competent?

Features:

As mentioned, the XSE comes with a touchscreen interface that’s a little on the small side, but very functional. The JBL audio system that comes with the package is excellent, and the car is also fitted with safety features like blind spot monitoring and a backup camera.

Official fuel economy figures are a claimed 11.0 litres per 100 kilometres city and 7.7 L/100 km highway.

Highway cruising should net you decent figures, but the more stop and go you have, the more the four-cylinder option should beckon.

Green Light:

Sporty look; spacious interior; lusty V6; surprisingly competent in the twisties

Stop Sign:

Lots-o’-grille styling; infotainment a little smallish; still has missing button blanks

The Checkered Flag:

Finally, a little sporting appeal for the Camry, without loosing a jot of practicality.

Childhood crush leads to African classroom See those kids in Ghana holding up a copy of Suzanne de Montigny’s book?

That all happened because de Montigny had a crush on Bobby Sherman when she was 10.

Here’s how it goes.

De Montigny is an author from Burnaby and confesses that when she was 10, like many kids her age, she had a big crush on then-teenidol Sherman and wanted to be on his TV show Here Come the Brides.

“Unfortunately I lived in Chilliwack B.C. instead of Hollywood, plus I couldn’t act my way out of a paper bag,” she says in a press release. “So, like most of the girls at that time, I eventually forgot about Bobby and moved on to the world of real boys.”

De Montigny became a teacher in Vancouver, where she discovered she had a knack for storytelling and thus began her career as a writer. Her award-winning first novel The Shadow of the Unicorn:The Legacy was released in paperback from MuseItUp Publishing in the

fall of 2014.

Then, for her 55th birthday present, de Montigny decided to give herself a gift: seasons 1 and 2 of that Here Come the Brides show she used to love.

“It’s a show that takes place in the 1800s about three brothers who import 100 marriageable women to become brides to the mostly male population of Seattle,”

This is a dream come true for me to see kids from across the world with my novel.

she explains for the benefit of those who may not remember.

She watched the shows and then got curious, searching Facebook for her old idol, Sherman.

“I discovered that Bobby Sherman and his wife, Brigitte, had begun a school in Ghana that they called the

Musical Village, for children with musical talent willing to work hard. Apparently only 60 per cent of all children in Ghana receive an education, and only 40 per cent complete high school, and they wanted to do something to help.”

On a whim, she wrote a message to Sherman and his wife, offering up a donation of a class set of her novel complete with her study guide.They said yes, and she sent the copies abroad – and got the photo at right in return.

“This is a dream come true for me to see kids from across the world with my novel and knowing they’ll be studying it,” she says.

“Africa is really where the story belongs since the underlying theme is endangered species, particularly the elephants and rhinos whose population has diminished substantially as a result of poachers.”

The Shadow of the Unicorn:The Legacy is a fantasy novel for kids aged nine to 12, a tale about unicorns surviving the aftermath of

an asteroid only to be driven to near extinction by the arrival of humans. It’s available locally at Chapters Metrotown and Coles Lougheed Mall.

De Montigny is donating half of her proceeds to the Third World Eye Care Society, a group of eye specialists who travel to Third World countries delivering

eyeglasses and performing surgery for free.

Computing takes another quantum leap Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s quantum computing company, D-Wave Systems Inc., has reached a first-of-its-kind milestone.

Earlier this week, DWave announced it had broken the 1,000-qubit barrier by developing a processor more than double the size of its 512-qubit (quantum bit) predecessor.

To put it in perspective, other groups develop quantum computers around the 10- to 20-qubit level, according to Jeremy Hilton, D-Wave’s vice-president of

processor development.

The computers, which follow quantum mechanical theories, operate extremely quickly.They can process huge amounts of information in a short amount of time and compute large numbers of variables for solving particular problems.

“When we look at a picture, we see the objects in the picture, like the people or the places.When a computer looks at a picture, it looks at the 10 million pixels,” Hilton explained. “If you want an algorithm to try to understand the picture in terms of the objects

1,200-strong: Cyclists gather at Swangard Stadium Sunday for the Metro Vancouver Ride Don’t Hide event PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Ride for mental health a success A bike ride for mental health that started and ended at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium Sunday raised a record-breaking $235,000 this year.

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ride Don’t Hide event saw 1,200 participants roll in and out of Swangard on rides that took them through parts of Burnaby,Vancouver and Richmond.

Taking place in over 30 communities, the annual ride aims to raise awareness

and help break the stigma surrounding mental illness, while raising essential funds to support mental health programs.

This year’s Metro Vancouver event took in about $4,000 more than last year with roughly the same number of participants.

CMHA is still accepting donations online at www.ridedonthide. com or through its local branches. Contact 1-800555-8222 for more information.

that are in it, that actually turns into something that’s much more difficult. Of that ocean of 10 million pixels, you have to figure out which ones are making up certain objects and what those objects are.That’s kind of extracting meaning from a whole bunch of data, and doing that well turns out to be a very difficult problem that classical computers struggle with at a large scale.”

What the new technology means for clients – like

Google and NASA – is that researchers will now be able to ask “much harder questions” of a given amount of data.

Hilton added the new system will advance applications already in the works – from speech recognition to web search. For NASA, he said scientists will be able to better process the information they collect from stars in their search for other Earth-like planets. Another industry D-Wave is making inroads in is medicine, spe-

cifically using the quantum bit computers to help develop cancer treatments and therapies.

The computers are built using components that are primarily created – and invented – in shop.To be able to perform on the atomic level, the chips are kept in refrigerators at extremely cold temperatures, in a completely noiseless environment. How cold? About 150 times colder than interstellar space, Hilton told the NOW.

D-Wave has been around since 1999, when it launched as the world’s first commercial quantum computing company. It has more than 100 granted U.S. patents, with investors like In-Q-Tel (a not-for-profit venture capital firm that funds high-tech projects that may benefit the CIA and other intelligence organizations), Goldman Sachs and others. D-Wave sold its first computer to Lockheed Martin in 2010.

What really matters?

DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

What really matters in your life?

Most of us devote much of our time to school or work.When children are young, parents are preoccupied with their activities.

Our thoughts are often focused on the demands of the moment: making ends meet, paying our bills and feeding our families.

We can become preoccupied by material things, entertainment, social status and our bodies. Even if we have enough to eat, we can obsess about food.We are prone to addiction – to drugs, alcohol, gambling and sex.

These are some of the things that consume our energies when we are young, in mid-life and when life seems to go on and on. But at the end of life, what really matters?

When you’re lying on your deathbed, would you care about the balance of your bank account, the dent on your car, whitening your teeth, a cigarette or a drink?

Would memories would you cherish? What would you regret?

To those in grief, all these things, the preoccupations of the world and the matters that distracted us in the past become meaningless.We can think only of our loved one and from our feelings of emptiness, the meaning that we had found in that rela-

tionship.

At the end of life, relationships matter.

In his book The Four Things That Matter Most, palliative care physician, Ira Byock outlines our need to express four things to our loved ones: “I love you,” “Thank you,” “I’m sorry,” and “I forgive you.”

Communicating these sentiments can bring closure to both the dying and the grieving. Unfortunately, not all of us have the opportunity or the courage to say these words while we can.We can lose loved ones suddenly without warning.The truth is none of us knows how much time we have left.

At the end of life, what matters most is what should matter every day of our lives.We are here not just to eat and drink, grow and age, gain and lose, work and spend, run and sleep.We are here to learn and to love, to learn how to love and to be loved.

We are human and imperfect.We all make mistakes.We hurt one another.We take each other for granted.We hold back on giving – and forgiving.

Being imperfect, we love imperfectly and conditionally.The world is imperfect, but it is still beautiful.We are imperfect but still worthy of love.

The greatest tragedy is not that we die but that we should die without knowing how much we are loved.

Don’t let this happen

Tennis future a Burnaby secret

Moscrop teen will represent Canada at the under-14 World junior championships Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

When Luka Vukovic won all his singles matches at the recent B.C. AAA high school tennis championships, many of his school teammates had no idea just how good the first-year bantam boy is.

But that is likely to change, and probably sooner than later, after the Grade 8 Moscrop Secondary student returns from the under-14 World junior tennis championships in Prostejov, Czech Republic in August.

Earlier,Vukovic helped Canada qualify for the junior worlds in second place behind the United States following a three-set victory over American Adam Neff in a singles match at the North/Central and Caribbean qualifying tournament in Boca Raton, Florida in May. Vukovic preferred to keep his international successes to himself.

“You don’t want to be different,” he said, “just the same.”

But to the experienced eye, the Burnaby prodigy has been garnering a lot of notice and international opportunities to improve his game.

Earlier in the year,Vukovic travelled with Tennis

aby, including the eventual game winner from recent pickup Steven Neufield, who finished off a nifty three-way passing play in close from Scott Jones and Peyton Lupul with his third tally in just his second game with the Lakers.

Burnaby then finished off the A’s in the final frame on Robert Church’s second of the game and first star Dane Stevens’ hat trick goal from Belanger at 16:43.

The win was the third in a row

Mountain United FC placed four teams in the Provincial Premier Cup soccer finals.

The Mountain under-13 and -15 boys’ teams and u-16 and -18 girls will all vie for B.C. Soccer titles, when the high-performance league showcases its best at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West this Sunday.

The u-18 girls dominated Fusion FC 5-1 in the semifinals last Sunday at Windsor Secondary.

Burnaby’s Allyson Dickson led the attack with a pair of goals, while singles came from Maddie Fiest, Andrea Perrotta and Jenaya Robertson. Sydney Bell had a 2-0 shutout going in the first half.

Mountain takes on Surrey United at 7:30 p.m.

In another dominating performance by Mountain girls, Anna Stephenson blanked Vancouver Island Wave 2-0 in the u-16 semifinal in Victoria.

Sophie Weaver and Nadia Hakeem, on a penalty, scored for Mountain.

The teen girls take on Coastal FC at 5 p.m.

In Burnaby, the u-15 boys edged Surrey United 1-0 at Fortius Field in their semifinal last Saturday.

Stuart Loop tallied the game-winning goal, while Sam Boporai and Aron Van Vliet shared the shutout in goal for United.

Mountain will face Coquitlam Metro-Ford in the u-15 final at 2:30 p.m.

Canada and current high performance coach Vadim Korkh to Eastern Europe, where he made a run to the semifinals, losing to the top seed Timofey Skatov of Russia 7-5, 6-1 at the

Christmas Cup in Khimki, Russia in January.

A week later at the Narva Cup in Estonia,Vukovic took the singles title with a 7-5, 5-7, 6-1 win in the final over eighth-ranked

Roni Mikael of Finland.

After returning home to Canada,Vukovic decided to train with the Russian-born Korkh at Elite Tennis Academy in Richmond.

“From the first time I

saw (Vukovic), he’s my player, my style,” said Korkh, who is the high performance coach at Elite under director of tennis Dal Gill. “He’s open to learn Continued on page 36

Lakers closing in on WLA leaders Burnaby pickup turning a second chance into an opportunity for redemption in goal Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow..com

It was an opportunity Wallaceburg, Ont. native Tye Belanger couldn’t pass up, and the Burnaby Lakers couldn’t be happier.

Belanger garnered his leaguehigh fourth win of the season, backstopping the senior A Lakers to an 8-4 victory over the Coquitlam Adanacs at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old former junior goaltender of the year with Peter-

borough in 2011 made 33 stops with a 0.892 save percentage, including all 15 shots in the final period to put Burnaby all alone in third place with a record of 5-4-0.

Prior to hearing of Burnaby’s interest in finding a starting goalie from his NLL coach in New England, Belanger had turned down other offers from teams back east.

But the chance to be a starter again was too good to pass up.

“I had a bad year in Colorado (in the NLL) last year and needed this to regroup again and be relied

upon,” Belanger said after Tuesday’s win.

Since coming to Burnaby earlier this month, Belanger is 4-2 and has registered a third-best 6.85 goals against average, while posting a top-five save percentage of 0.830.

“We’re keeping teams to low numbers, and if we keep teams under six goals, we have a real good opportunity to win games,” said Belanger.

On Tuesday, that opportunity came in the second period following a four-goal mini run by Burn-

petitions.

“Yeah, people were telling me, ‘You got it, you’re talented.’ It gave me chances to travel and play outside and inside the country.

That’s when I mostly improved my game,” he said.

“I’m an aggressive player, for sure. I’m bigger than most people my age. My forehand is my weapon, my serve, too.”

But Vukovic also likes to come to the net, has a solid, two-handed backhand and a few other tricks in his arsenal.

At a recent under-18 tournament at the Hollyburn Country Club,Vukovic made a good run to the finals.

In a week’s time,Vukovic is off again to play in Europe in three top category junior tournaments in Paris and later in the Netherlands before returning home and preparing for the worlds and Davis Cup juniors from Aug. 3 to 8 in the Czech Republic.

“He might be the future of Canadian tennis,” said Korkh, who more than a decade ago accurately predicted the success of a then 12-year-old Vasek Pospisil back in 2003. “(Vukovic) is really, really good. He’s a natural tennis player.”

Continued from page 35 new stuff – all-court game – right now he can do it.

“He likes to work, likes to learn and really quick. He has big potential if his training is done in the right way. His natural instincts to understand the game are very good.”

For Vukovic, who spends half his training time at the Richmond Oval and the other half at the national training centre on the North Shore, it’s all about getting better and better.

“You have to train a lot to see the benefit, and some people say they just don’t want to do it anymore,” said Vukovic.

But the 6-0 Burnaby 14-year-old is not one of those people.

“I love competing the most. I like training a lot, but mostly competing,” he said.

Last year, on the Tennis Europe junior circuit in Israel,Vukovic qualified in an u-16 division before dropping a close match to the eventual champion.

By the end of 2014,Vukovic was ready to take on some of the best in the world, making it to the fourth round of the Orange Bowl tournament at the University of Miami – one of the world’s biggest junior com-
