An SFU student has found one of the pythons on Burnaby Mountain, and she’s planning to take it to a rescue group in Surrey.

Marissa Bowsfield, an SFU psychology student, contacted the NOW, saying she found a ball python Tuesday evening, around 7:30 p.m. near Horizons Restaurant on one of the main trails.

“I feel happy I found the snake but also disappointed that people are leaving them around when they shouldn’t be,” she said. “I like animals, and I knew it wouldn’t survive on its own.”

Bowsfield heard news stories, first reported in the NOW, about a python loose on Burnaby Mountain.

She found the snake on one of the trails, picked it up with her bare hands and carried it home, about 15 minutes away to the UniverCity area.

Pipeline faces ‘rigorous’ conditions

National Energy Board has attached 145 conditions to Trans Mountain pipeline expansion Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

It looks like Kinder Morgan will have a lot more local work to do if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion moves forward.The National Energy Board has released its draft conditions for the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, and there are a number of recommendations for Burnaby.

There are 145 conditions so far, many with more than one action point, and several directly address Burnaby issues.

For example, if the federal government approves the pipeline expansion, the NEB wants Kinder Morgan to update the risk as-

sessments for the Trans Mountain system’s terminals, including the Burnaby tank farm.

The assessment must cover some of the concerns raised by the Burnaby Fire Department, including the effects of a boilover event or the potential consequences of “flash fires” and vapour cloud explosions.

As for firefighting, a longstanding point of contention in Burnaby, Kinder Morgan must hire an independent body to conduct a review to determine the adequacy of the fire protection and firefighting plans at all terminals, including Burnaby Mountain and the Westridge Marine Terminal, where tankers fill up with crude.

The NEB is also insisting that Kinder

Newsnow POLICE IN BRIEF

Do you know this man?

ON SCENE: Burnaby RCMP and members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team were on Midlawn Drive Wednesday,

investigating a fatal shooting police believe was a targeted attack. For updates, see www.burnabynow.com. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Shooting targeted, police say Investigators say the victim, a 43-year-old man, is known to police Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The victim of Wednesday’s fatal shooting near Brentwood Town Centre is someone known to police, say investigators.

Police have identified the victim as 43-year-old Igor Bradaric.

Bradaric was found by Burnaby RCMP in the 4600 block of Midlawn Drive off of Willingdon Avenue near Fairlawn Drive around 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 12, after neighbours reported hearing shots fired.

Emergency personnel at-

tempted to treat him, but he died at the scene, according to a media release from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Investigators believe Bradaric’s shooting was targeted, but they couldn’t say why.

“He is known to police, and (investigators) are pursing potential angles as far as that goes,” Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, spokesperson for the homicide team, told the NOW. A grey 2005 Audi station wagon was seen leaving the area around the time of the shooting. A vehicle match-

ing the description provided by witnesses, which had an out-of-province licence plate, was recovered a short while later in Surrey. Investigators are now trying to determine if the vehicle is the same vehicle seen near the Burnaby crime scene, Ashton said.

“What we’re looking at is that timeline, and if it is, in fact, that vehicle that was recovered in Surrey. Hopefully they’ll be able to determine, in their investigation, over the next few days,” she added.

If investigators confirm the vehicle recovered in

Surrey is the one seen at the crime scene in Burnaby, then they can start pulling surveillance footage to piece together where the vehicle was in the Lower Mainland during the days leading up to the shooting, Ashton said.

“If it is the same vehicle, then did someone see the vehicle being left there?” she said.

Ashton wasn’t able to provide any information on a suspect or suspects at this time.

Anyone with info is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448.

Mounties are asking for the public’s help identifying two suspects in a sexual assault that happened near the Edmonds SkyTrain station in July.

The incident took place around 9 p.m. on July 8 when a woman was walking home in the area of Edmonds SkyTrain station.The woman was approached by two men who proceeded to pull her into the nearby bushes, according to a media release from the Burnaby RCMP. The suspects forced the woman to the ground, and while one suspect attempted to sexually assault her, the other rummaged through her bag, the release added.

We remind all pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings.

The victim resisted the advances of the suspect and began screaming, scaring them both away, according to the release.

“Thankfully the female victim was not injured,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, said in the release. “Although we believe this to be an isolated incident, we take this opportunity to remind all pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings when walking alone late at night and con-

sider walking with a friend when possible.”

A sketch artist was able to, with the help of the victim, create a sketch of one of the suspects.

The first suspect is described as a black man, about 27 or 28 years old with short black hair and an average build. He is about six feet tall and weighs approximately 190 pounds.

The second suspect is also described as a black man, also about 27 or 28 years old. He is about six foot one inch tall, and weighs about 220 pounds with a muscular build.

Anyone with information about this attack or the identities of the two suspects is asked to contact Const. So at 604-2947922 and quote file number 2015-31471. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS or www.solvecrime. ca.

Cops investigate overdose death Two charged in Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

It’s too soon to say if a fatal overdose on Monday night is connected to the recent spike in overdoses related to fentanyl-laced drugs, Burnaby RCMP say.

A 26-year-old Burnaby woman was found dead around 6:25 p.m. on Aug. 10. An initial examination by the coroner suggests the woman died of a drug overdose, and Burnaby RCMP confirmed the woman was a drug user. Investigators are now waiting for the coroner’s report.

“The death was not considered suspicious,” said Cpl. Daniela Panesar, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP. But whether the overdose was caused by a substance containing fentanyl, that still needs to be determined, Panesar added. A sample must be submitted to a Health Canada drug analysis service lab, Panesar said.

The RCMP are also investigating the sudden death of a 45-year-old Burnaby man to see if it’s drug-related.

The man was found dead

around 10:20 a.m., also on Monday, but the cause of death is not obvious, Panesar told the NOW. “Until a coroner’s report, we can’t really say what the cause of death is,” she said.

On Tuesday, B.C.’s chief coroner, Lisa Lapointe issued a statement regarding the recent spike in fentanyl-related fatalities. Her statement follows on the heels of a report by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, which indicates a noticeable increase in fentanyl-related deaths across Canada over the past four years – a pattern the

B.C. Coroners Service confirmed across British Columbia as well.

Between Jan. 1 and May 31, there have been 54 fatal overdoses in which fentanyl was detected, and over the last month, July 7 to Aug. 7, there have been 12 deaths due to fentanyl, almost all were in the Lower Mainland, according to the B.C. Coroners Service.

In the majority of these deaths, other drugs – including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines – were also noted in the postmorten toxicology reports.

assault at party Two Surrey residents were charged with aggravated assault after a party in Burnaby turned violent Saturday night.

Police were called to the 5500 block of Kingsway when a party got out of hand shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 8.Three people were taken to hospital with stab wounds, one in serious condition with a punctured lung, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar.

“Since the incident, one (victim) has been released

from the hospital and two are still in the hospital,” she added.

The victims were from neighbouring Coquitlam and New Westminster.

A 16-year-old, whose name won’t be released because he is a minor, and 25-year-old Julian Johnson were charged with aggravated assault.

Johnson is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 25 in Vancouver.

BCAA dispatchers rally Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

BCAA tow truck dispatchers rallied together last week along the Willingdon Avenue highway overpass, two months after they were locked out by the company.

The lockout occurred after contract negotiations between COPE Local 378 and the British Columbia Automobile Association stalled.

The rally, which was held between 7:30 and 9 a.m.

on Aug. 5, was attended by about 45 union members, according to Gwenne Farrell, acting president of COPE 378 and one of the local’s vice-presidents.

“It went extremely well,” she said. “We had support from several other unions.”

Negotiations have not moved forward, according to Farrell, who said the union’s chief negotiator has been communicating with the B.C. Labour Board during the dispute.

“We have been back at

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Do you feel better about the pipeline?

If you’ve been worried about the possible effects of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, you’ll want to check out the latest news starting on our front page today.

The National Energy Board has released its draft set of conditions for the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion – and it’s outlined a whopping 145 things the company will be expected to do if the federal government approves the

project.

Among them are a number of conditions that deal with the concerns of residents right here in our backyard. For instance, the NEB is asking Kinder Morgan to update the risk assessments for its terminals, including the Burnaby tank farm.

Kinder Morgan is also expected to hire an independent body to conduct a review of fire protection and firefighting plans at all its terminals, including Burn-

aby Mountain and the Westridge Marine Terminal.

The company is being asked to address concerns about a proposal to tunnel through Burnaby Mountain – including consulting with residents and businesses that may be affected by construction – and to come up with a groundwater seepage plan for the mountain.

It must come up with evacuation plans for people who could be affected by any tank farm incidents,

including people at Simon Fraser University.

The list of conditions goes on, and on, and on, addressing in some way just about any objection that’s ever been raised to the expansion plans.

Kinder Morgan has called the list of conditions “rigorous but achievable.”

The question now is whether that’s good news or bad news.

For those who are sitting on the fence about the pipe-

line expansion but have concerns about a particular issue, the conditions may be sufficient to quell their fears and help make the project acceptable.

For those who simply believe the pipeline expansion is the wrong approach to take, it’s unlikely that a list of conditions – no matter how rigorous – will do anything to change their minds.

Now we want to know: Where are you on this one?

Do these draft conditions

ease your mind? Or do they just help to convince you that the National Energy Board is getting ready to say Yes to the pipeline regardless of what local residents think?

This is a discussion we need to have as a community – and that there happens to be a federal election campaign going on makes it a perfect time to have it.

So speak up.We’ll never get a better chance to have this discussion than now.

MY VIEW RIC ERB

City must take lead on housing I would like to respond to Chiyo Buston’s letter of July 29 (Govts need to work together on housing).When Buston says that “Only homeowners pay property taxes,” the implication is that renters don’t pay taxes.This incorrect. Renters pay property taxes also.This money is raised by landlords through the rent tenants pay.

Buston also mentions that older rental buildings are becoming run down as if there is nothing that can be done about it. For two years now, ACORN has been asking Burnaby city council to enact standards of maintenance bylaws that would prevent irresponsible landlords who charge premium rent for accommodation while not maintaining their buildings. Because the provincial government has ignored enforcing standards of maintenance on landlords for the last 15 years, some cities like Surrey have been stepping in to protect their citizens.

In regard to Buston’s comments on homeless people coming to B.C. from other areas, it doesn’t matter where or why homeless people are here.What matters is that they are in our city, and they need help.

The municipal government should not refuse to help and hope the problem goes away because they think it is ultimately a provincial/federal government responsibility. Like so many of our neighbouring municipalities, Burnaby is free to adopt an

affordable housing strategy. For example, in May this year, the City of Richmond announced an affordable housing program.Then they invited the federal and provincial governments to participate.What is preventing the mayor and council from doing likewise here?

If council wants to help renters, here are a few suggestions. First, follow the lead of other municipalities and introduce standards of maintenance bylaws to protect Burnaby renters. Second, stop allowing the destruction of affordable rental housing stock by refusing to rezone rental properties to condominiums.Third, require developers to include social housing units in every newly built condominium development that council approves. Fourth, raise property taxes on unoccupied housing to prevent speculators from continuing to drive up property prices and rents in the city.The revenue raised by increased property tax on speculators can be in turn used to fund standards of maintenance bylaws and subsidize social housing.

ACORN does not blame Burnaby city council for the present housing crisis. However, there are things the city can do to mitigate the problem and treat all residents as equals and not give priority to the needs of property owners. All residents of Burnaby are citizens and deserve to be treated as such.

Ric Erb is co-chair of ACORN Burnaby.

Thanks for housing

City staff spot python on Burnaby Mountain

Dear Editor Re: OUR VIEW: New seniors’ home welcome news and Derby Manor gets city funding.

Burnaby city council and the mayor deserve our congratulations for their work in finalizing plans for the George Derby housing expansion.

Thanks to the work of the city and other stakeholders, not only will seniors have additional housing options available to them in the city, but they will have access to housing that is affordable and within reach for seniors living on a fixed income.

Completing this project is a huge step forward in reducing the cost pressures on housing in the region, and it will help those who are most vulnerable to increasing housing costs.

Again, fantastic news and everyone involved should be congratulated for making this happen in a timely fashion.

Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

Pipeline questions for mayor from reader Dear Editor Mayor Derek Corrigan claims that the Kinder Morgan pipeline was his highest campaign priority, therefore he was elected on this issue.

Mayor Corrigan is therefore compelled to answer the concerns of Burnaby residents.

Context: I have written my MP, Kennedy Stewart (NDP), for clarification on the federal NDP’s policy on the Kinder Morgan’s proposed expanded pipeline. He has constantly failed to respond. As well, the NDP’s leader, Mr. Tom Mulcair refused to offer any clarification even when asked directly by Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party. This was seen on the Maclean’s leaders’ debate.

We can also learn from the recent media reports that the federal NDP is in favour of extracting natural resources (i.e. Alberta oil), however, they oppose the “approval process” and have gone so far as to criticize the current government for “not being able to get the pipeline approved.”

Based on anecdotal evidence and the preand post-elections inconsistencies by various levels of the NDP party, any reasonable person will be led to the conclusion that we, the residents of Burnaby, must prepare ourselves for the pipeline approval process to be “fixed” by a federal NDP government and that the proposed pipeline may in fact materialize.

With this reasonable assumption in mind, will Mayor Corrigan please tell us if he will: ! Still be prepared to jump in front of a bulldozer to stop the pipeline? ! Still be prepared to take actions to stop the pipeline even if it means “ending his political career.” ! Continue to oppose the pipeline with ferocity despite whichever level of jurisdiction it falls under. ! Continue to initiate and spend our tax funds in court battles against the pipeline even despite their futility such as the legal challenges that have already been launched. ! Stand against any and all federal NDP policies that will facilitate the construction of the KM pipeline?

Mayor Corrigan’s direct and forthcoming answers, with the absence of political doublespeak, would be most appropriate to these question of profound interest to the residents of Burnaby. These questions have very direct relevance to the platform that Mayor Corrigan campaigned on and to the mandate he was given by the voters of Burnaby.

William Smith, Burnaby

Lisa Hutcheon I certainly hope the mayor & council are reading this and see how the animals suffer. Council agreed to allow the continued sales of animals in Burnaby pet stores and this is the result. Store owners profit and animals suffer.

OURVIEW: What’s on your election wish-list?

Bill Smith This election I want a change,... but for me, a change means voting OUT the NDP’s Kennedy Stewart. Last year, for my business, I was compelled to contact K Stewart by phone and email. In both cases, he was not available and he never contacted me back despite his office promising that he would. Three weeks ago, I sent an email to K Stewart asking for his position on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline... yet again, complete silence.

A couple months ago, at the Metrotown Hilton, a non-partisan business event was held, which focused on the newly implemented free trade agreement with South Korea. It was widely advertised and well attended. The event hoped to attract about 100 participants but actually 350 people showed up.

All political parties from the provincial and federal level participated, EXCEPT, not a single NDP member (city, BC and federal). In fact, Ed Fast, Conservative MP from Abbotsford attended, yet K Stewart NDP could not even drive in from up the street.

Korea is important to BC and especially to Burnaby. We have a considerable Korean Canadian community, Burnaby has a sister-city in Korea and 54% of all trade between Canada and Korea is through BC... one would hope that at least a single NDP member would have shown interest.

So again, my wish is to have a change.. a change of who represents Burnaby in Ottawa.. a change from NDP to whomever.

Union wins decision on summer student jobs

Continued from page 5 things are going to go, but what we would like to see, and one of the things we’ve been saying all along, is that we want a fair and equitable collective agreement for our members,” Farrell said.

The dispatchers’ contract expired last September.

Throughout the bargaining process, members held two strike votes – one in January, with members voting 94 per cent in favour of a strike, and one on May 25, with members voting 79 per cent in favour of strike action.

The union issued strike no-

tice on May 29, and shortly after that, tensions between the two parties grew.

The company locked out approximately 70 employees on June 8.

The company commenced with the lockout due to concerns that services to BCAA members were being affected by the dispute, Brenda Lowden, BCAA vice-president and chief people officer, told the NOW in June.

“We saw evidence of some disruptive activity,” she said. “So when that happens, our service is first and

foremost paramount to our members.They need to know that they’ll continue to get the service that they expect. And if we see any evidence of that not being able to be delivered, we felt we had to take action.”

The primary issue between the two parties is compensation. According to the union, employees of BCAA’s car sharing company, EVO, who do similar tasks, work 35 hours a week and are paid the same wages as the COPE 378 members, who work 40 hours a week.

The union recently had a

labour board decision go in its favour, regarding student employees.

The seven summer students, who were to start working in the unionized department as of June 2, were told by the company that they would not have positions with the department due to the labour dispute, according to the ruling.The students were then offered positions as clerks elsewhere within BCAA instead.The students accepted.

The labour board found the company had terminated the students from posi-

tions within the bargaining unit in an attempt to “disempower the union by preventing the students from being available to participate in the union’s lawful activities.”

The company was ordered to reinstate the students as employees of the unionized department.

In an emailed statement, Lowden said that when the union gave strike notice, BCAA gave the students the chance to stay at the road assist contact centre and participate in union action or to take on other jobs.

“They unanimously chose to accept alternative roles, some of which were within other unionized BCAA offices,” she said. “We have been forced to remove the students from the job opportunities they chose and we’re disappointed that these students have been disadvantaged.We have applied for reconsideration in order to allow the students to gain the work experience they are seeking.”

Management is currently covering all the road assistance calls and dispatching drivers as needed.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

for most people.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution

Does Everybody Mumble?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hear for yourself how the new Audéo V Venture hearing aids can improve understanding in conversations.

Sears Hearing Centre is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Kinder Morgan staff are looking over the conditions.

“Our initial review of the draft conditions is that they

are rigorous but achievable.

We will be providing further comments and will be seeking clarification particularly as to the timing of certain conditions and required approval processes when we file our comments on Aug. 20, 2015,” the company said in an email to media.

The NEB said hearing participants have a chance to weigh in.

“A lot of the conditions in this draft … are directly related to the evidence that has been filed in the hearing to date,” said NEB spokesperson Tara O’Donovan.

“The main purpose to floating these draft conditions at this point is to allow people to provide comment.”

Only hearing participants (intervenors or commenters or Kinder Morgan) can weigh in on the draft conditions. Commenters have until Aug. 18 to submit their letters, while intervenors have until Sept. 3 for final written arguments.

These conditions are draft only.The final conditions will be attached to the final recommendation the board puts forward, and these are due on Jan. 25, 2016.

Continued from page 1 and seemed very content to come along with me,” she said. “It’s totally docile.”

Bowsfield said she wasn’t afraid.

“I like snakes. If it had been tarantulas on the loose, it would have been a totally different story, but snakes, I’m cool with,” she said.

Bowsfield kept it at home in a big Tupperware container, and she’s keeping it warm with hot water bottles.

She plans to take the snake to Urban Safari Rescue Society in South Surrey.

It’s not the first snake she’s found on the mountain, either. On July 19, she found a foot-long ball py-

thon by chance and also took it to the rescue group.

Gary Oliver, founder of the Urban Safari Rescue Society, took in the young snake and will keep it.

“He’s doing really well; he’s healthy,” Oliver said, estimating the snake was about four or five months old.

Bowsfield’s capture brings the total number of snakes found on Burnaby Mountain to four, three of which were babies or juveniles, which suggests someone may have been breeding pythons and dumped them.

“Sounds like someone had them hatched their eggs and that, and for some reason didn’t want them and

Top 5 for icecream spots It’s summer, and we’ve put our investigative journalism skills to the test, sourcing out the best Burnaby places for ice cream. From old-fash-

1

GLENBURN SODA FOUNTAIN AND CONFECTIONERY has been a Burnaby NOW favourite since the shop opened in the Heights in 2013, and it’s also loved by our readers.The vintageinspired shop serves oldfashioned ice-cream treats and sweets you just can’t find anywhere else.There are the usual standbys – milkshakes, sundaes and floats – but you’ll also find malts and sodas made in-house, egg cream (a mix of milk, soda water and syrup) in various flavours and rickeys (lime sodas and variations thereof). For the floats, Glenburn uses pop from The Pop Shoppe, which children of the 1970s may remember.The vanilla malt and butterscotch sundae are our favourites.

You can expect to spend around $15 for two people.

Glenburn makes all their own sauces, and they source local fruit and nuts as much as possible. Glenburn is at 4090 Hastings St. Summer hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 2 to 10 p.m.

2

IF YOU ARE IN BURNABY’S BIG BEND AREA, hit up Marble Slab Creamery for a custommade treat.There are endless jars of candies and “mixins” you can have mixed into the ice-cream flavour of your choice.We recommend sweet cream and gummy bears in a waffle cone.The ice-cream cakes are also amazing if you’re in the mood to splurge for a special occasion.The most popular combos are raspberry cheesecake (cheesecakeflavoured ice cream with graham crackers and fresh raspberries) and cookie dough drizzle (birthday cake flavoured ice cream with Oreo cookies, cookie dough and fudge). Don’t be fooled by the franchise nature of Marble Slab; this chain uses high-quality fresh

ioned, to organic, to death-by-a-million-candy-toppings, we’ve got a little something for everyone in this list.

–Jennifer Moreau ingredients, and you can really taste the difference.

A small waffle cone with a mixin’, which is five ounces of ice cream, will set you back about $5.50. Hours are Monday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.This is the only Marble Slab location in Burnaby, and it’s at Marine Drive and Market Crossing, across from Cobs Bread and Kin’s Farm Market.

WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OWN ICE CREAM? The Burnaby Village Museum is hosting ice-cream making workshops on Saturday, until Aug. 29.They’ve got one of those old-fashioned wooden barrels to crank

OLD-FASHIONED STYLE Ron and Roberta LaQuaglia are the owners of Glenburn Soda Fountain and Confectionery in the Heights, and their shop is one of our top picks for ice cream in Burnaby. PHOTO FILE out fresh, homemade vanilla ice cream.We won’t give you any spoilers, but it’s shockingly easy.The workshops happen twice daily: from 10 to 11:30 a.m. or 1 to 2:30 p.m. It costs $8.85 (or $7.97 if you’re a

member).You can drop in, but only if there’s space, so you may want to pre-register. (For more info on registering, call 604-2974565.) This activity is mostly for kids two or older, and adults are welcome. If you want to skip the old-fashioned cranking, just head to the museum’s Ice Cream Parlour, where they serve the standard buckets of ice cream in various flavours.

(We still think the old-fashioned way is best.) The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave.

(chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk) or fresh watermelon puree and your choice of ice cream. If you ask the staff nicely, they can make affogato, which is a shot of espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream.

We recommend you try a double chocolate milkshake with an espresso shot. Expect to spend about $13 on two people. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but closed Sunday. Sean’s Good Eats also serves food.

DID YOU KNOW AVALON DAIRY MAKES ORGANIC ICE-CREAM? Yup, the makers of that local, farm fresh milk that comes in glass bottles also make ice cream, and their retail shop is in Burnaby’s Big Bend area. It’s called Sean’s Good Eats,The Avalon Retail Store, and they serve milkshakes and icecream cones.The shop is at 7985 North Fraser Way. Locavores take note: Avalon uses Fraser Valley milk, processed in Burnaby, so it doesn’t get any fresher than that. Ice cream flavours to choose from include the classics – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry – as well as mocha fudge, blueberry, black cherry and coconut.

Ice cream cones are about $3.15 to $4.20, while basic milkshakes are $5.25.They also serve special milkshakes for $5.50: double chocolate

include bits of frozen cheesecake, cookie dough, blueberries, strawberries, gummy worms, marshmallows and frosted animal cookies. If you’re looking for something that’s healthier, stick with fruit.

The most popular combinations are Oreo cookies with vanilla or Nutella or chocolate peanut butter cups with Nutella.

Our insider’s pick: try the fruit punch sorbet mixed with raspberry tart. Just don’t go overboard, since you pay by weight. A typical serving could cost between

Choices: Want to keep things healthier? Stick to fruit when you’re loading up on toppings at the Menchie’s frozen yogurt shop in Burnaby’s Highgate neighbourhood. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

MENCHIE’S ISN’T REALLY ICECREAM; it’s frozen yogurt but we’re throwing this chain in the mix because it’s yummy and fun. Menchie’s operates on a self-serve model, where you pick your frozen yogurt flavour and then load up at the toppings bar. Options

$5 and $8. Menchie’s is at 7155 Kingsway, in Burnaby’s Highgate neighbourhood. Summer hours are Sunday to Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. till 11 p.m., or Friday and Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to midnight.

Compass Cards rolling out Every transit user in the region could have a Compass Card this fall.

Compass vending machines are being activated this month at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals, TransLink announced last week. Passengers can buy single-use tickets through the system once the machines are up and running, and the machines will

be stocked with Compass Cards by late October.

Compass Cards will also be sold at stores, customer service centres and via mail

by November, a TransLink press release stated.

As part of the Compass Card rollout, bus passengers will temporarily only pay a one-zone fare to ride at any time in the region.

There were problems with

Compass Cards not tapping out properly as riders exited buses, with the riders being charged for three zones per ride.

The zoning change is only for buses and HandyDART, and will start Oct. 5.

About 130,000 transit users now have Compass Cards, according to the release.

Sedona

A minivan for those who appreciate the finer things in life

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com • Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

The waterhole is both crowded and shrinking. The animals eye each other nervously. This is a hotly contested area, and newcomers aren’t welcome.

Yet the established brands find themselves suddenly shouldered aside by a new upstart with a brash chrome grille. What’s this? A Kia? Surely it should be taking its place over with the cheap seats.

But no, just as has been the case with nearly every reintroduced Kia model of the last few years, this new machine manages to hold its own both inside and out.

It’s got a longer feature list. It’s got amazing secondrow seats like a business class flight. The regulars are nervous. They should be.

Design:

The new Kia Sedona isn’t what you’d call wildly styled.

After all, there’s only so much a designer can get away with when the brief is, “box-with-sliding-doors.” Still, this being the top-flight SXL+ model, there are some exterior niceties.

Chrome 18” alloys contrast nicely with metallic-flake paint. LED accent lighting surrounds a well-chiselled face, and the overall silhouette and three-quarter-view is more conventional than the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna have become.

However, this is a minivan. Styling is not really a huge consideration, any more than the wrapping on your largest birthday present. Never mind how many bows it has – what’s in the box?

Environment:

As the top of the Sedona lineup, you expect the SXL+ to have all the usual features of leather and power heated seats and keyless entry. It does, but goes a little further, adding ventilation to those heated seats, a rear passenger sliding moonroof, and wonderful reclining second row seats - more on those in a bit.

For driver and passenger, the Sedona is essentially a Hyundai Genesis Sedan with more cargo space. You get nicely contrasting leather and lots of piano-black trim, plenty of the required multiple cubby holes and a dual-glovebox, and a two-tone dash layout that looks a little bit more entry level luxury sedan than haulthe-kids minivan.

Move around to the rear amenities, and it really does seem like this particular version of the Sedona isn’t for toddlers, but for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Celebrities in South Korea often prefer being shuttled around in the anonymity of a van as opposed to a limousine, and you get that kind of vibe from the SXL+.

The rear seats slide both fore-and-aft and side to side, and may be pushed far backwards and deeply reclined.

They come with folding footrests too, so you can really stretch out in back in captain’s chair comfort.

As a result, the third-row seat gets a little squished. Mid-trim Sedonas come with easier to access third-rows (the second row slides and folds more easily), but the SXL+ trim is sort of a four-person flagship with extra capacity when needed.

Out back, there’s the usual enormous amount of minivan room. The folding third row seats are a bit less solid-feeling than those in a Honda or Toyota, and they leave a bit of an exposed gap when folded. However, if you’re transporting a golf foursome, or picking up luggage at the airport, there’s loads of space.

Performance:

Power comes from the Hyundai/Kia 3.3L V6 found in multiple applications, here making 276hp at 6000rpm and 248lb-ft of torque at 5200rpm. That’s a few more horsies than most rivals, but the 3.3L has a relatively high torque peak.

For straight-line acceleration, a firm foot is necessary. However, even when loaded with people and accelerating up a steep highway hill, there’s plenty of punch, and the six-speed transmission works without calling attention to itself.

For this new generation of Sedona, Kia’s done much in the way of chassis stiffening, adding high-strength steel and basically making a better box. Handling is – well, it’s a minivan. However, having placed that asterisk on any performance figures, the Sedona actually carries itself well for such a large heavy vehicle. From the driver’s seat, it rarely feels ponderous, and is perfectly capable of holding its own on long highway sweepers.

And here’s where the SXL+’s rationale really starts to make sense. Out on the open road, the Sedona is wonderfully comfortable, quiet, and serene. It’s the only minivan in recent memory to come with radar-guided cruise control, so you simply set a reasonable speed, stretch out along with your passengers, and cover highway and interstate in leaps and bounds.

With so much cargo space to bring whatever or whomever you like along for the ride, it’s an ideal road trip machine. Grand Tourers are most often long and sleek coupes – here, a minivan manages to pull off pretty much the same job without effort.

Features:

The top-level Sedona is simply crammed with stuff to like, from those aforementioned heated-and-cooled seats, to adaptive cruise control, to automatic headlights and highbeams, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure assist.

The eight-speaker Infinity audio is phenomenal.

Particularly useful in such a large vehicle is the combination of top-down, 360-degree camera and parking sensors. Putting the Sedona into a small parking space is just as easy as getting a subcompact car in there, and you’ll find yourself obsessing over getting it just-so every time. Power sliding doors and a power tailgate are handy, and the latter is automatically activated if you stand behind it for a few seconds – very useful if you’re returning with hands full of grocery bags.

Official fuel economy figures for the heaviest Sedona are a so-so 14.2L/100kms on the highway, and 10.5L/100kms in the city. The weight of all these features and the big 18” alloys and tires take their toll. Still, no proper-sized minivan is truly a miser, and the SXL+ does manage reasonable return on the highway.

Green Light:

Huge amount of features; smooth, quiet ride, excellent sound system; great chairs

Stop Sign:

Fancy second row chairs cut down on rear passenger space; slightly heavy and thirsty; modest torque

The Checkered Flag:

A business-class flight with sliding doors.

Criminals using back alleys and trails to conduct illegal business had better watch out: Mounties are kicking up their twowheeled coverage of the city.

With summer in full swing, Burnaby RCMP officers are out patrolling highcrime areas on bicycles, which can be advantageous in situations where the element of surprise is needed, according to a media release from Burnaby RCMP. Sgt. Steve Eagles oversees the police bike program. He believes bike patrols “are an

effective tool in catching unsuspecting criminals who are usually looking for a police car.”

A bike patrol officer is much more accessible On bikes, officers can patrol areas not easily accessed by car, including parks, trails and alleyways, according to the release.

and interact with members of the community we serve,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, said in the release. “A bike patrol officer is much more accessible to a citizen than a patrol car driving by. It sends a real positive message to the community when the bike patrols are so visible and engaged.”

On patrol: Mounties are increasing bike patrols during the summer.

Bike patrols give officers an element of surprise, unlike using marked police cruisers.

Escaping the concrete jungle: Can your cabin be your home?

Susan M Boyce, rew.ca

For many Canadians, it’s one of life’s quintessen!al dreams: escaping the concrete jungle to live at the family summer co%age.

Fresh air and natural grandeur, neighbours stopping by to share a game of cards on the front porch or backyard barbeque, kids building tree forts. What’s not to love? As prices in urban centres like Vancouver con!nue to soar, the allure of this tradi!onal lifestyle is gaining trac!on with an ever more diverse group of buyers.

the kids, I spend way less on entertainment – they’re relearning how to make their own fun.”

Their neighbours, Maureen and Marc Hollaar, are also concrete jungle transplants who, like many embracing the vaca!on lifestyle, wanted to escape the noise and air pollu!on of city living. “We have a 1,700-square-foot, three-bedroom-and-lo" home with a cost of living that’s signi`cantly less than it was in the city. Plus in the future, when the kids are grown up, if we want to travel for half the year, we can easily rent it out – some of our neighbours already get $1,500 to $1,800 per week in the summer, and that’s just going to go up.”

Taking a gradual approach Vince and Kathy Taylor are taking a more staged approach to moving full !me into their lakeside property near Squamish.

“We found we were spending more and more !me there, so we decided to try it for a year,” Vince explains. Now almost half a year into the experiment, the allure of having hiking, `shing, mountain biking and other outdoor sports just outside their door has lost none of its sheen. “And typically it s!ll takes less !me to drive to our Vancouver o&ce than it would if we were living in Langley or Abbotsford.”

According to the 2015 Re/ Max Recrea!onal Property Report, 20 per cent of British Columbians would downsize their current residence to purchase “It’s a better a co%age. Now, some lifestyle homeowners are carrying this for our two kids trend one step further – selling their primary residence and using the equity to and a more live full !me in their vaca!on home. social one Want to wake up to this view every morning?

Increasing numbers of homeowners are choosing to do just that as they opt to live full-time in their vacation properties instead of remaining in the city.

In a nutshell • Retiring boomers are continuing to drive the trend of transforming a summer vacation property into a four-season home.

• Young families are another market segment taking advantage of the move to full-time cottage living , finding both financial benefits and an increased sense of community.

• People who aren’t certain the move to a vacation property lifestyle is for them are often making the move in stages, choosing to “test” life at the cabin before moving full time.

• Whatever age or walk of life you’re from, embracing your recreational property as your fulltime home is about celebrating a more relaxed way of living.

A great op!on for re!ring boomers

for us.”

James Askew, president of rareEarth Project Marketing, believes baby boomers will con!nue to drive the trend of transforming a summer vaca!on property into a four-season home – whether it’s the tradi!onal co%age in the forest or on a lake, an upscale condo or a masterplanned strata community with resort ameni!es such as a pool, clubhouse and sports facili!es.

But wherever that recrea!onal property, this discerning market wants something more than a bare-bones roof over their heads.

“As boomers approach the age of re!rement, they’re looking for upscale, maintenance-free living that s!ll o$ers access to the ameni!es of town.”

A lifestyle choice for young families

Another re!ree, Constan!ne Anastasopoulos, saw opportunity in the Okanagan. “Yes, living in Yaletown was an exci!ng urban environment,” he says. “But now I live in a newer home that’s be%er constructed and was priced considerably lower than Vancouver. Plus my partner has access to a stable where she can ride horses again – you can’t do that in downtown Vancouver. We bought a couple of years ago when prices in the Okanagan were in a lull, and we’re already seeing them returning to higher levels, so it’s been a good investment `nancially as well.”

The relaxa!on quo!ent

Ul!mately, buyers and industry analysts alike agree that embracing any recrea!onal property as a full-!me home is about celebra!ng a more relaxed way of living.

“People are making a conscious decision to have a more social, engaged lifestyle,” says Steven Van Geel, sales director for Co%ages at Cultus Lake and Creekside Mills at Cultus Lake. “They want to live in a community where they can feel safe le#ng their kids run down the streets to play with friends and where they know their neighbours by name.”

“I think people are missing the sense of community you `nd in a vaca!on community,” Maureen says. “So many of our friends tell us they’d love to live here full !me, … and we are.”

However, it’s not just re!ring baby boomers who are making this leap – it’s also an increasing trend among families with children. Laurie and Carle Proskin, both successful home-based business owners, are one couple who took the plunge and have never looked back. A"er enjoying their $500,000 co%age at Cultus Lake in Chilliwack as a vaca!on retreat for almost `ve years, they realized it o$ered a be%er, more coste$ec!ve, full-!me lifestyle than their $2 million-plus, single-family house in Vancouver.

“It’s a be%er lifestyle for our two kids and a more social one for us,” Laurie says. “Our children are always outside riding their bikes, playing with other kids or going down to the lake. There are all kinds of community events throughout the year, so you actually get to know your neighbours, plus people look out for each other.”

She sees plenty of ongoing `nancial bene`ts too.

“We don’t have to pay for parking any more – that s!ll astounds me. Instead of going to Starbucks, most of us make our own co$ee and drink it on our deck with friends. And because there are so many ac!vi!es for

City dwellers who make the move to live full time in their recreational properties are finding a renewed sense of community outside of the urban setting. PHOTOS: THINKSTOCK

New art festival on in park Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Fans of the ever-so-popular craft fest held at the Shadbolt Centre every Christmas are in for a treat tomorrow (Aug. 15).That’s because the Burnaby Arts Council is hosting its counterpart – the first-ever Summer Art Festival.The free outdoor event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Deer Lake Gallery, will have 15 plus artisans on site, three music groups, food vendors and a kids’ area.

“I thought it was an opportunity to bring people here in the summer.

It’s such a wonderful area,” said Teena Martin, office manager of the arts council. “This one is strictly here with us, in our building, on our grounds. Artists don’t have to drive to White Rock or North Van, and it keeps it very local.”

Martin added beside the organization’s summer the-

atre program and its monthly exhibits, there wasn’t really anything going on at the gallery during the warmer season. Creating awareness that there is, in fact, an artistic avenue nestled between all the greenery on Deer Lake Avenue was another reason for the endeavour, Martin said.

“Often times, I have people say, ‘I didn’t know you were here. I thought you were a house.’”

Some of the artisans at the Saturday affair include Violet Finvers, known for her glass work, Doris Jetz and her Ink & Dolly handcrafted funky gifts, as well as Charlie Aniban’s unique woodwork.

“A lot of artists who participate in the (winter) craft festival jumped at this because I didn’t charge an arm and a leg for them to show,” Martin said of the $50 and $75 booth rental fee. “That’s one of the things when you’re an artist,

you have to account for how much it’s going to cost to rent, how much you think you’re going to sell.”

Foodies, meanwhile, can check out Mr.Tube Steak to nourish their taste buds.

Throughout the day, Gord Oliver, Luvena Kwong and jazz duo Howard HO & Brian Daniel will serenade the crowd. From tunes of the ’50s and ’60s to modern-hit makers, like John Mayer and Green Day, there will be something for everyone. Burnaby Summer Theatre will also be performing Travey the Barefoot Knight.

For the little ones, there will be a host of art workshops.They’ll be introduced to Kandinsky’s abstract artwork, pairing colourful paper circles together to see which colours coincide best.

A reading from Dr. Seuss and Steven Johnson’s My Many Coloured Days will ex-

plain how emotion and colour have a role in art. Kids will even get a chance to paint a mural.

The festival will also see mural artist Mila Karavai unveil her piece, centred around a sleeping deer, with some of Burnaby’s architectural structures behind it.

“She’s tied in Shadbolt and SFU, … They’re all tied together by lines to this deer. It’s really kind of cool,” Martin said of the mural, which can be seen from the street. Asked about where she’d like to see the inaugural event go in the future, Martin replied “bigger.” She envisions having both the back and front yards of the gallery occupied with artisans, possibly extending the festival to another venue within Burnaby if necessary.

It’s happening at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. For the full schedule, visit burnabyarts council.org.
