Local Mounties are trying to piece together the events that led to shots being fired on a quiet Burnaby street Thursday morning.

Police were called to the 7200 block of Arcola Street at 5:30 a.m., after getting a call about gun shots.

“The initial investigation suggests two men were involved in an altercation before shots were fired,” said Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis. He also noted there was evidence someone was possibly injured, but a victim hasn’t turned up.

Police said two cars were seen fleeing the scene, but there was no description for the vehicles.

A third person, possibly a woman, might be involved, but that couldn’t be confirmed by police.

“We’re still trying to figure out what took place,” Buis said.

Police are asking witnesses or anyone with information to contact the local RCMP detachment.

In the meantime, Buis said he isn’t aware of any similar recent incidents in the neighbourhood.

Is pipeline panellist in conflict?

Corrigan raises concerns about conflict of interest between pipeline panellist and Kinder Morgan Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s mayor is afraid the federal government’s panel on the Kinder Morgan file is just for show and is riddled with conflict of interest.

Derek Corrigan made the comments earlier this week during a presentation to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project Ministerial Panel, which was in town for three days to get public feedback on the multibillion-dollar proposal.

The Burnaby stop was part of a larger tour, which covers communities along the

pipeline and marine shipping route.

In May, the Trudeau government created the three-member panel to review the pipeline, just days before the National Energy Board made its recommendation to approve the project.

In his speech, Corrigan argued the ministerial panel, made up of Annette Trimbee, Kim Baird and Tony Penikett, was a political one.Trimbee, president of the University of Winnipeg and a former deputy finance minister, also served on Premier Rachel Notley’s royalty review panel last year.

Baird, a former Tsawwassen First Nation chief, has close ties to Kinder Morgan and

Complaint confusion Questions arise over Burnaby First ombudsperson complaint

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Whether the province’s ombudsperson is investigating the City of Burnaby over its zoning practices has been called into question.

On Wednesday, Mayor Derek Corrigan called the NOW to say the city was contacted by the Office of the Ombudsperson and told the office hadn’t started any investigation.

“They phoned us specifically to say they haven’t commenced any kind of investigation and certainly what she (Helen Ward) is saying isn’t true,” Corrigan said. “It concerned the ombudsperson’s office enough that they called up our (city manager) and said we’re not commencing any investigation, so we don’t know what this is all about.”

On Tuesday,Ward, chair of the Burnaby First Coalition, held a press conference at city hall to announce the Office of the Ombudsperson would be investigating Burnaby’s rezoning practices in response to a complaint she filed.Ward’s complaint is that the city made

changes to density and amended community plans without broad public consultation and was in violation of the Local Government Act. Following the press conference, the NOW contacted the Office of the Ombudsperson to confirm the investigation, but a spokesperson couldn’t say whether the complaint was being investigated, citing privacy concerns.When contacted by the NOW for comment, Ward said she filed the complaint and was told by the office there would be an investigation.

“They called me back in May and said they would investigate and that they would tell me who the investigator would be at some time,” she said.

Ward explained she had received a series of letters from the Office of the Ombudsperson related to the complaint. A letter dated May 17 and signed by Rhonda Brown, a complaints analyst with the Office of the Ombudsperson, stated: “Due to the volume of complaints we receive, we are unable to consider

COMPLAINT CONFUSION: On Tuesday, Helen Ward, with the Burnaby First Coalition (BCF) announced the Office of the Ombudsperson will investigate Burnaby’s rezoning practices , but a day later, Mayor Derek Corrigan said the city was contacted by the office and told there was no investigation. PHOTO JEREMY DEUTSCH all complaints right away. As soon as we are able to give your concerns our focused attention, we will contact you to discuss your complaint in more detail.”

A second letter, dated July 6 and signed by Linda Blackman, manager of investigations with the office, stated in order to proceed further with the complaint, the office requires documents that support Ward’s concerns.The letter also

notes if the office doesn’t receive the information by July 27, the file would be closed.

Ward said she asked for a weeklong extension and sent the documents to the Office of the Ombudsperson last week.

“As far as I know, they’re investigating,” she said.

Ward also questioned why the office couldn’t discuss the complaint with the media but would tell city of-

ficials there was no complaint.

On Wednesday, Brad Densmore, a spokesperson with the Office of the Ombudsperson, once again said the agency couldn’t speak about the specifics of the file, citing confidentiality.

“I’m saying the same to every media outlet.We treat complaints confidentially, so I’m not confirming if there is an investigation at this time,” he told the NOW.

When asked if the office would call the city to tell officials there isn’t an investigation, Densmore said that wouldn’t typically occur in the early stages.

“That would be kind of unusual, but I wouldn’t speculate,” he said.

Densmore did note the Office of the Ombudsperson would be in contact with the city to get information from authorities for the file.

Witnesses sought in road rage incident that left man injured

Burnaby Mounties continue to investigate an apparent road-rage incident that left a man with injuries.

Police said they have received tips about the alleged road-rage assault that happened Monday late afternoon and are appealing for more witnesses to come forward.

“Given the area and time of day, we believe there are witnesses out there that have photos of the incident or perhaps video,” said RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau. “So we’re just asking those people with any photo or video or any further evidence to come forward.”

The incident began after 5 p.m. when police were

called about a road-rage incident in the 500 block of Smith Avenue.

Thibodeau said a man was assaulted by four men

“What started as a simple traffic incident quickly escalated into a serious situation for the victim,” he said, noting the victim is recovering from his injuries.

Media reports suggest the victim was beaten with a pot and a crystal ash tray taken

from a neighbours’ porch.

The two vehicles involved in the assault are described as a blue Toyota Matrix and a silver Hummer.

The suspect driving the Toyota was described as 20 years old, standing six-feet tall and wearing a T-shirt with an orange crest and dark sweatpants.

The men in the silver vehicle were all described as Caucasian.

Anyone with information is asked to call the local detachment at 604-294-7922.

In the meantime, Burnaby RCMP are reminding the public if they face a road-rage scenario to stay calm and call police when it’s safe to do so. Police also recommend you stay in your car and don’t engage in any confrontation.

Man who died following police altercation was trying to engage drivers

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The province’s police watchdog is appealing for possible witnesses to come forward in the case of a man who died following an altercation with officers in Burnaby.

On Tuesday, the Independent Investigations Office said it is seeking further witnesses as it continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a man in the afternoon of Aug. 13, 2015 on the Burnaby-Vancouver border.

Vancouver police officers were responding to a complaint of a man causing a disturbance.

Officers caught up to the man and attempted to take him into custody in the 8300 block of Joffre Avenue (near the intersection of Marine Drive and Joffre).

A violent altercation ensued, and the man died at the scene, according to the Independent Investigations Office.

The man was identified as Myles Thomas Gray, 33.

Six police officers were also injured in the altercation.

They were treated at the hospital.

The 33-year-old was allegedly causing a disturbance along South East Marine Drive, when the situation escalated, crossing over the border into Burn-

aby.

The Independent Investigations Office said it has information that suggests the man may have attempted to verbally engage with people in passing vehicles.

The Independent Investigations Office is asking witnesses or anyone who knows of potential witnesses who may have been driving in the area between 3 and 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 13, 2015 to contact its toll-free witness line at 1-855-4468477.

Just last week, the Independent Investigations Office told the NOW it continues to investigate a spate of officer-involved shootings in Burnaby from March of

2015.

The first incident took place in the early hours of March 1, when Burnaby Mounties were dispatched to the 7-Eleven at Canada Way and Edmonds Street.

One suspect suffered a serious injury, believed to be from a bullet fired by police.

Nineteen days later, another man was shot by officers outside of an apartment on Salish Court.

The third incident, on March 29, saw Mounties shoot the suspect in a fatal stabbing on 14th Avenue near Willard Street.The Independent Investigations Office said it is currently closing cases in approximately 14 to 18 months.

Refugee settlement groups call for funding

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

In the short time Nawal Alkaied has made Burnaby her home, she’s fallen in love with the city.

The mother of two children arrived in Burnaby in January as a refugee from war-torn Syria.

While Alkaied hopes to settle in the community with her family long-term, her new home hasn’t come without some pretty big challenges.

Through a translator, she explained her son is expected to enter Grade 10, but other than a couple months at the tail end of the last school year, he hasn’t been in school for four years, and she’s not sure if he’ll be able to keep up.

Alkaied also found work as a cook but had to quit just four days later due to health reasons and a lack of

understanding the requirements.

But a less obvious difficulty in her short time in Canada is the feeling of isolation. Neither she nor her kids have any friends.

That’s how a place like the Burnaby Neighbourhood House can help.

The organization has been providing settlement services for years, but the influx of new refugees has its programs bursting at the seams.

Burnaby Neighbourhood House executive director Antonia Beck suggested local resources are tapped and existing programs are fully subscribed, adding the organization often has to turn people away.

“It breaks my heart to not be able to meet the needs of everybody,” she said.

Adding to the struggle, the neighbourhood house said it lost $60,000 in fund-

ing to provide settlement services after the province transferred responsibility to the federal government.

She said the organization tried to apply for federal funding but was unsuccessful. She noted organizations that didn’t have a funding agreement in the past with the Canadian government have no mechanism to apply for funding.

Beck noted a long list of services needed to help refugees settle into their new country, including more language classes, which are now filled, specialized support to deal with trauma, including play therapy for children, and teaching kitchens to promote healthy diets.

In 2014, 20 per cent of refugees that arrived in B.C. settled in Burnaby. In 2015, the federal Liberal government committed to resettling 25,000 Syrian refu-

gees.

And of the 191 refugees that arrived in the province from April 1 to June 30, 11 per cent came to Burnaby.

Annually, Burnaby Neighbourhood House said it deals with 1,300 newcomers.

Last week, the NDP called on the federal government to revisit who can qualify for funding for resettlement services.

During a media event at the neighbourhood house, NDP MP Jenny Kwan, the critic for immigration, refugees and citizenship, argued

settlement services are deficient and there are funding shortfalls for existing programs.

Another organization, Pacific Immigrant Resources Society, was also on hand for the press conference, and is facing a similar situation as Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

PIRS also lost funding in the transition, but officials noted $30,000 a year would fund an English class for 20 women and 20 children.

The MP argued organizations like the neighbourhood house are already on

Protester found guilty

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A teenager facing charges related to Kinder Morgan pipeline protests on Burnaby Mountain has been found guilty of two counts.

On Wednesday, a B.C. provincial court judge found Jakub Markiewicz guilty of assault with a weapon and assault.

Two more charges of assaulting a peace officer and assault were dismissed.

The charges against Markiewicz, who was 18 years old at the time, stem from incidents at Burnaby Mountain in November 2014 and March 2015.

He was charged with assaulting a police officer during several days of protests in November 2014 while Kinder Morgan carried out survey work along the Trans Mountain pipeline.

The charge from the No-

vember case was dismissed.

The three other charges are related to incidents in March.

Media reports said Markiewicz held a log over his head to threaten a pipeline surveyor on the mountain.

He was also found guilty of assaulting a surveyor who

was not related to the pipeline.

Markiewicz is scheduled to be back in court on Oct. 6 for a pre-sentencing hearing.

More than 100 people were arrested during the November 2014 protests on Burnaby Mountain.

“That is a waste of resources and capacity,” she said. “That, to me, is absolutely idiotic.We’re not utilizing our resources in an effective way.”

Kwan said Canada is doing important work by welcoming refugees, but it doesn’t stop once they’ve arrived.

She said the government needs to make sure the resettlement of refugees is done right and proper support is provided to them.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Time for action on harm reduction Our hearts go out to the mother of 16-year-old Gwynevere Staddon, found dead of a suspected overdose in a Port Moody Starbucks on Sunday.

The coroner has not confirmed fentanyl as the cause, since the tests take a while, but Gwyn’s mom,Veronica, strongly suspects that’s what took her daughter’s life.

Gwyn was struggling with addiction, and her mother says the wait-list for rehab was too long, while private

treatment was just too expensive. (We’re talking tens of thousands of dollars.)

There’s nothing comparable to the loss of a child, and we know there will be more grieving parents to come.

The percentage of fentanyl related drug deaths has been rising steadily over the past few years, from five per cent in 2012 to 60 in 2016, and the year’s not even close to being over.

The most recent num-

bers for Burnaby showed 12 people died from fentanyl this year and last.That may not seem like many, but let us remind you that a few months ago, police raided a home in Burnaby where alleged traffickers were processing fentanyl for sale on the streets.

Fentanyl is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine, and it’s cut with regular street drugs – heroin, cocaine, fake OxyContin, for instance. Unless you

have access to a lab, there’s no way to know what you’re taking, and what you are taking could kill you.

So how do we stop more people from dying?

Public awareness campaigns aimed at naive drug users, dabbling on weekends, appear to be working, and there are fewer deaths in this demographic. It’s the hardcore users that are still dying, on an average of about one or two a day in B.C., according to the coro-

ner’s office.

We already know the “don’t do drugs” mantra won’t cut it.

This brings us back to the old conversation around harm reduction.The principle is this: People will use anyway, so we need to make it safer and less stigmatizing.

We need to treat addiction like the medical problem it is, not a deviant lifestyle.

Preaching abstinence to people who are going to use anyway does not and will

never work.We need more needle exchanges, more treatment centres, more detox beds, more options for 16-year-old girls who would consider getting high in a Starbucks bathroom.

We know the political will is there. But we need policy makers and politicians to hurry up.

Every day, we lose another daughter or son to this crisis.

MY VIEW WANDA MULHOLLAND

It’s time for collaboration

Awareness of homelessness in Burnaby has changed drastically in the past ten years.

Ten years ago our educational displays at community events were met with polite suspicion and disbelief.

Burnaby is a lovely place to live. It has been hard to imagine that in such a wonderful city there could be citizens living without the basics of a home, adequate food, clothing or access to basic necessities like washrooms, showers, laundry or medical care.

Through regular media coverage, continued displays at community events, presentations and increased support from the community, Burnaby citizens have become more aware of the impact of the lack of housing for Burnaby citizens.

Responses to our displays at community events are now focused on requests for assistance for friends, neighbours, relatives.There is acknowledgment from citizens who have been homeless, are currently homeless or struggle each month financially to keep their housing.

We have been grateful for the generosity of citizens, faith communities, businesses and organizations who have actively supported this work in practical ways.

Burnaby is recognized as a city with an increasing number of citizens who are homeless and without the housing or services to help its citizens.

Citizens are increasingly angry and state that this situation is unacceptable.

Sixty-one per cent of the Burnaby citizens that were identified as homeless in the 2014 Homeless Count had been homeless for more than five years. Forty two is the average age of a Burnaby citizen who has died as a result of the long term impact of extreme poverty and homelessness.

Each week we work with new people who are traumatized because they are now homeless. Anyone can become homeless – women, men, children, youth, seniors, renters, home owners, business owners, persons from all economic backgrounds.The leading cause of homelessness is poverty.

Concerns for low income residents increase significantly with the loss of low rental housing as it is very difficult to find safe, affordable housing within Burnaby.

The Society To End Homelessness in Burnaby believes that viable solutions for all Burnaby citizens to have safe and affordable housing are achievable only through collaboration and full commitment from all levels of government.

The society encourages the province, city and federal governments to quickly work together to protect affordable housing in Burnaby, to create new affordable housing and in doing so to prevent an increase in homelessness.

The time for collaboration is now.

Team captains under fire The school board said it would ask the Burnaby Teachers’ Association for a meeting with elementary teacher representatives after a parent complained about the practice of letting student captains pick teams for school activities.The parent said her concern wasn’t with groups of friends picking teams at recess but the teacher-sanctioned process in classrooms. Being picked last for a team was a bigger issue for students than academic achievement, she said.

‘Big Oil has become a rogue industry’

Pipeline panel dredges up mixed feelings

Dear Editor Potential spills, explosions and fires; taxpayers’ cost in preparing for and dealing with them; property values; Kinder Morgan’s dubious safety record (including four Trans Mountain spills since 2005); earthquake risk; First Nations’ rights; the extra toxicity of diluted bitumen; groundwater quality; longterm marine environment damage from tankers; the export of jobs to refineries overseas; low job-creation compared to investment in more sustainable energy; Canada’s own future energy needs – the downsides to the proposed expansion of the Kinder Morgan export pipeline are multiple.

Add unfolding global climate chaos, which the project would worsen by expanding the Alberta bitumen sands “carbon bomb.”

Energy expert David Hughes’s report for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that expanded oil and gas production would make it “near-impossible” to honour Canada’s reduced-emission commitments under the Paris climate agreement. Moreover, “new pipelines are not needed under Alberta’s cap on oil sands emissions.” These themes are notably absent from Kinder Morgan’s slick propaganda. Let’s reject the drug dealer’s defence that “if we don’t sell it, somebody else will,” and push for renewable energy globally, with an urgency appropriate to planetary emergency.

A civilization is in trouble when it tries to solve its problems by doubling down on what caused them. Like tobacco a generation ago, Big Oil has become a rogue industry. Its excessive power needs to be counterbalanced, for a healthy democracy and a diversified sustainable economy.

Bob Hackett, Burnaby resident and professor at Simon Fraser University

Kinder Morgan responds to concerns Dear Editor We’d like to take this opportunity to provide answers to some of the spill response questions that have been raised.

Canada’s oil spill response regime is based on a strict “polluter pay principle.”

If a spill were to occur on our pipeline system, we’d be required to cover the entire cost of the cleanup – neither the public, nor any level of government will have to pay.

Oil pipeline companies are required by regulation to hold $1 billion in financial resources.

We hold multiple reserves to ensure that we have the funds to deal with an emergency situation, including cash, close to $900 million in insurance, and nearly $4 billion of credit.

In the event of a spill, we’re prepared to use these resources to respond immediately and effectively.

The same “polluter pay” principle exists for the marine shipping industry. The polluter is liable for all response costs through insurance and backed by an industry-funded Canadian and international compensation regime. In total, there’s about $1.5 billion available for oil spills from ships.

Combined with the measures to prevent spills, our goal is to have an industry-leading emergency response plan that’s never used.

Michael Davies, Senior Director of Marine Development, Kinder Morgan Canada

Jack Burns Corrigan: “... “Is anybody going to stand back and listen to what the people are saying, or is it always going to be about how much money can be made by corporate interests in this country?” he asked. ... “Is anybody going to take the time to listen to people like me ...”

Oh geez. Nobody will ever listen to Mayor Corrigan complaining about “corporate interests” and “big money”, when at the very same time he concocts a rezoning plan that is totally biased toward “developer interests” and “huge money,” a plan that will ultimately drive out thousands of Metrotown tenants from their 3-storey walkups and from Metrotown, and all Mayor Corrigan has to offer as a response is: “to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs.” Nobody will listen, that’s for sure.

LouK “I think, also, that they’re going to have to face the reality that First Nations are not going to accept this application and that we can expect that there’s going to be significant litigation that’s going to delay this application for years unless they find a more legitimate process,” he said during a media scrum after his presentation. “ This is a fact. Just as first nations court action delayed the McKenzie pipeline for years, until it was no longer economically feasible, this will occur.

As Yogi Berra once said, “ It’s not over till it’s over.” Not the most eloquent of quotes but it certainly does convey a message of hope for those opposed to this expansion. Here’s to our Mayor, who is standing up for the many who oppose this expansion. We need more officials the likes of Mayor Corrigan and Mayor Gregor Robertson. earlrichards This panel has to be cancelled, until Kinder Morgan and their responders show what equipment they have to clean-up a toxic, tar sands spill from the bottom of the Fraser River watershed and demonstrate to the public how the equipment works. To understand how disastrous a tar sand spill can be, Google and read, “Michigan oil spill effects could be repeated here”, by Michelle Barlond-Smith. @rick_mcgowan @tverenca @ BurnabyNOW_News Ironic. Considering that he is facing intense criticism about his own consultation process in #Metrotown. #bcpoli bill smith This is an astounding day for news. Corrigan meddles in affairs out of his jurisdiction and he tries to silence people wanting to hold him accountable in his actual jurisdiction over matters that he has direct control over... demolitions.

‘Punched, bit, kicked’

Retirement & Store Closing

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Care-aide Carly Cojocariu is the poster child for workplace violence at Burnaby Hospital.

During eight years of helping patients at the local health-care facility eat, bathe, dress, walk and go to the bathroom, she’s taken her share of verbal and physical abuse.

“I’ve been scratched, punched, bit, kicked, spat in the face, grabbed. I get a lot of grabbing the wrist,” she told the NOW. “A lot in the stomach, I get kicked a lot in the stomach.”

Reported incidents of violence have been on the rise at Burnaby Hospital over the last three years, jumping from 22 in 2013 to 36 last year, according to the Fraser Health Authority.

The incidents take a toll, according to the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU), which represents care-aides.

“Not only is there often a physical impact from a violent situation,” HEU secretary-business manager Jennifer Whiteside said.

“There’s also emotional trauma attached to that.

And workers working in an environment where that is a chronic part of their work, can wind up becoming afraid to come to work.”

To tackle workplace violence at all its facilities, Fraser Health has ramped up prevention efforts over the last year, including a firstof-its-kind poster campaign featuring testimonials from health-care workers like Cojocariu.

“The violence comes from the patients or it comes from the family members, and we want to get them to understand the impact of their actions,” Fraser Health’s managing

Speaking out: Burnaby Hospital care-aide Carly Cojocariu is featured on a Fraser Health anti-violence poster. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

workplace health consultant Quinn Danyluk said of the campaign. “It’s a pretty unique approach for us.”

Other steps to curb workplace violence include a new specialized regional violence prevention team and violence prevention risk assessments at every department (about 800 in total) in all Fraser Health facilities by fall 2017.

Cojocariu is also among a growing number of healthcare workers equipped with four-hour violence prevention classes and eight-hour advance team response classes.

Danyluk said the increase in reported incidents of violence at Burnaby Hospital isn’t necessarily a bad thing “We work really hard to encourage everyone to report any kind of incident related to violence,” he said.

“As our education has increased and expanded, we’ve seen a corresponding increase with the number of incidents reported.”

Because the increase in reported violence hasn’t come with a corresponding spike in reported injuries and WorkSafeBC claims, Danyluk said the increased reporting is a good sign.

But, for care-aides like Cojocariu, violence in the workplace is a problem that

hasn’t seen improvement, according to Whiteside.

“In particular for careaides, injury rates haven’t shifted; in fact, they’re increasing, so that says to me that there’s something not working,” she said.

Whiteside said it’s important for health authority’s to have violence prevention goals and to support robust risk assessments, increased reporting and thorough investigation of violent incidents, but more is needed.

“Unless you can move that support right down to the frontline level, there will be very little change,” she said.

Cojocariu, however, said the classes she’s taken over the last year have helped her deal more effectively with violent and aggressive patients in her department, which houses mostly seniors, many of whom are dealing with dementia.

One point the sessions drove home, she said, was the importance of finding out as much as possible about the source of a patient’s aggression.

“A really important thing is to try to get families involved with the care, to try to find out the most information, try to find out a little bit about their past,” Cojocariu said.

Summer art fest returns to Deer Lake Gallery New this year is the Park’s Edge Paint Off where 15 artists have two hours to create an original work Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Arts Council is throwing its second annual Summer Arts Festival this Saturday and it’ll be “bigger and better,” organizers say.

The free family event will be hosted outside on the lawn and driveway of the Deer Lake Gallery. Like last year, it will feature live music and entertainment, face painting, artisans, a summer theatre performance, a children’s art workshop and a juried sculpture exhibit.

New to the lineup this time around is the Park’s Edge Paint Off, between 1 and 3 p.m. Fifteen artists will choose their own theme and will be given a 24 x 36 canvas, with two hours to create something spectacular.Whoever gets the most votes from the crowd wins first prize.

“I think it’s going to be great,” BAC’s executive di-

rector Teena Martin tells the NOW. “It’s an opportunity to bring art lovers and creators together. How often do you get to sit down and watch a painting from start to finish in a short period of time?”

Onlookers will also have a chance to bid on the artwork. Half of the money will go to the arts council, while the artist will pocket the rest.

Martin adds the reason why an art battle wasn’t part of the 2015 schedule was because the backyard of the gallery was in disarray and hadn’t been renovated.When the City of Burnaby invested some money into giving the space a facelift, Martin started brainstorming.

“We thought what could we do in the backyard that could entertain and create a cool vibe, so we’ve come up with this.”

An estimated 500 or so people came out to the fes-

tival last year, and Martin expects triple that many on Saturday.When asked if it’s an ambitious goal, she says no. She’s exhausted every advertising avenue she could think of to get the word out, from banners hanging along Canada Way to ads running in local magazines and newspapers, she notes.

Martin, an artist herself, wanted to start the summer arts fest to compliment BAC’s annual Deer Lake Craft Festival, which has been running for 45 years.

“Our house (gallery) is in an awesome location along the parkway, so why not use our facility on the outside?

We want to draw people to it, make them aware of what we do.We’re not just a gallery,” she says, adding the arts council also does a lot of art programming, is home to summer theatre and participates in high school student scholarships.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.”

- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.

By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: •

A $100 million investment in the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

•

An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

•

An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

•

Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

•

Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

•

Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

Newsnow Program helps LGBT refugees The aim is to build social connections and friendships.The second meeting is a group counselling session with clinical counsellors.

MOSAIC understands the intersection of immigrants and the LGBTQ community, Lee said.

“So this is a quite unique project and something we are very proud of,” she said.

The group started in 2014 as a pilot project, and the counselling sessions began earlier this year.

Roughly eight to 10 people come to the counselling sessions, and about five on average show up for the peer support group.

To register, call 604-2549626 or email ibelong@ mosaicbc.org.The times and locations are confidential, but once people register, MOSAIC will pass on those details.

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

MOSAIC is running a program to help lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender immigrants and refugees in Burnaby feel more connected to their community.

“There is a big service gap for LGBTQ newcomers,” said Darae Lee, settlement programs manager with MOSAIC. “Transphobia and homophobia are really big in immigrant communities.They find it hard to access mainstream LGBTQ services because they don’t understand their experiences as immigrants.”

The program is called I Belong, and there are two groups that meet in the Royal Oak area.The first is a peer-support group that gathers every second Monday evening of the month.

Prius

More Aggressive Looks, Still Earth-Friendly

BY DAVID CHAO

While many carmakers offer some form of hybrid vehicles, the standard has been set by Toyota, thanks to its iconic Prius.

with the menacing standard LED headlights setting the tone and the taillights following suit.

Latest estimates claim there are over 8 million hybrid vehicles on the road worldwide. It’s safe to say that the many of them were inspired by the success of Toyota Prius.

More defined character lines along the sides give the Prius a stronger curbside presence.

The “floating roof” treatment continues the contemporary feel. In fact, the design is so radical that some people might not recognize it immediately as the Prius.

2016 sees the introduction of an all-new fourth generation model. As with many of its recent new products, Toyota hopes the flashy new styling will make the purchase of a Prius an emotional one instead of a purely rational one.

The changes to this all-new Prius should help it continue its dominance over the Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Chevrolet Volt and the new Volkswagen Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid.

Design

At its core, the 2016 Prius is built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture. This platform will underpin a wide variety of new models in the coming years, not just hybrids.

With this new structure, Toyota can cut production costs while retaining excellent design, drivability, and reliability. Thanks to its stiffer structure, the 2016 Prius has a much more rewarding driving experience over its past models.

Adding to that is a first-time double wishbone independent rear suspension. Compared to the former torsion beam design, the new Prius provides smoother reaction to bumps and better grip in corners.

Also, while the 106.3-inch wheelbase is unchanged, the fourth-generation Prius is longer, wider and lower. The lower hoodline contributes to improved aerodynamics, but also enhances forward sightlines and keeps the cabin quieter.

The new Prius has a much more dramatic and athletic look. The lights are a big contributor in that regard

Like the rest of the new Prius, every element of the interior has been redesigned. The new chassis allows for a more open, airy feel in the cabin.

decisive Prius than in the past.

There’s less body roll in corners, quicker responses, and improved steering feedback.

Though Toyota’s suggestion that new Prius owners will drive it for pure pleasure may be a stretch, daily commutes will be more enjoyable.

Environment

Past generation models had a pleasant environment, however, to be fair they weren’t the most comfortable cabin for a compact sedan. The 2016 Prius has been upgraded to be more inviting.

While sharp looks are nice, the most important factor for a Prius buyer is fuel economy. In this regard, the 2016 has improved slightly.

Retaining its uniqueness, the instrument panel now wraps around the dash. The two 4.2-inch full-colour TFT displays provide customizable information and remain centrally located - and controls are still easy-to-reach as they are in the rest of the Toyota family.

Like the third-generation Prius, the new model combines a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. While horsepower is down, efficiency is up thanks to smaller and lighter hybrid components.

A large 6.2-inch colour touchscreen sits below the gauge cluster and controls the navigation and entertainment system. The optional head-up display is highly legible and displays speed, navigation and hybrid system information.

In addition to the standard nickel-metal hydride battery, there will be a newly available lithium-ion hybrid. This battery’s smaller size and flatter shape allows it to be packaged under the rear seat, rather than beneath the luggage area, resulting in more cargo space.

Interior materials, especially the new synthetic leather in higher trim levels, look and feel classier. The lower height of the centre console allows for better outward visibility for those in the front seats, and despite a lower roofline, the rear seats feel roomier.

Performance

The transmission is still a continuously variable transmission, but again the combined transaxle/electric motor is smaller and more efficient.

With only 121 hp on tap, there’s no fear of unwanted wheelspin on acceleration. That said, the Prius comfortably performs its job of city commutes with ease.

As mentioned, the all-new architecture delivers a more

Cargo space has also been increased. Prius models with a spare tire offer 24.6 cubic-feet, and in those with the repair kit system that goes up to 27.4.

Providing peace-of-the-mind, the 2016 Prius is available with Toyota’s Safety Sense Suit of protection features.

This includes Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and other active features to prevent a collision with other objects.

Features

The 2016 Toyota Prius is available in three trim levels with starting prices ranging from $25,995 to $29,330.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry with push-button start, automatic climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth, backup camera, heated exterior mirrors, and LED headlights.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include heated front seats, power moonroof, rain sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless charger, and voice recognition.

Fuel economy numbers (L/100km) are 4.4 city, 4.6 highway and 4.5 combined.

Thumbs Up

The all-new fourth generation Prius retains the top-notch fuel economy that its reputation is built on, but adds improved agility, smoother ride, and a more comfortable interior.

Thumbs Down

While the new Prius boasts improved performance, it is still a conservative car in terms of performance. The design may be too radical for some.

The Bottom Line

The Toyota Prius is an industry pioneer with upgraded fuel efficiency and handling.

Communitynow Burnaby man set to ride in research fundraiser jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The cancer first hit when he was just 31.

“I was literally playing poker with my friends, … and I felt a lymph node on my neck, and it felt like a rock in my neck,” says Burnaby resident Adam Charania.

He saw various doctors over the next couple of months and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. One of his lymph nodes had become cancerous and was growing.

“I was probably at the healthiest point in my life when I got diagnosed with it,” he says.

He then went through four rounds of “pretty brutal” chemo and lost a lot of weight and hair. He could barely walk after his treatments.

“As my oncologist said, ‘I’m going to truly try to kill you to keep you alive,’” he says.

The chemo worked, and Charania has been in remission since June 2006.The future looked bright and cancer free, until last fall.

More about the Ride to Conquer Cancer: ! This year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer is on Aug. 27 and 28. ! Last year, more than 2,000 people participated in the event, raising $8.4 million. ! The annual event has raised more than $70 million since it started in 2009.

Charania said he was impressed by the people who make the annual ride happen.

“It’s phenomenal to see all the volunteers and all the work that goes into it, all for a really good cause,” he says.

Charania is riding with Team MGBA, and their goal is to raise $10,700. So far, they have raised $2,550.

This time, it was his fiancée, Nicola Anderson, who was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer. Charania was heartbroken.

“You know what the other person is going to go through, but you want to support them and be strong and help them,” he says.

“You don’t wish it on anybody.”

In 2010, Charania did the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a cycling fundraiser for the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which funds research at the B.C. Cancer Agency.

This year, Charania has decided to do the 200-kilometre bike ride again to celebrate his 10-year remission milestone and to acknowledge what his fiancée is going through.

“The B.C. Cancer Agency has been really good to us.They do a lot of good work -–the level of support, the level of treatment, everything they’ve done to keep both of us alive – has been pretty phenomenal,” he says.

Charania’s fiancée is also in remission and had been undergoing regular followup treatments.

For love: Adam Charania is biking in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. He is in remission for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, while his fiancée, Nicola Anderson, is undergoing followup treatment for a rare form of uterine cancer.

Edel Toner-Rogala Occupation CHIEF LIBRARIAN Why is she in the news?

When Burnaby’s chief librarian Edel Toner-Rogala was growing up in New Brunswick, her parents instilled in her the notion she could do anything if she could read.

A fervent reader all her life, she didn’t have to turn too far to find her passion and her career.

For the last 13 years, she’s been at the helm of the city’s library system after coming over from Prince George in

the same role.

As Burnaby gets ready to celebrate and mark the public library’s 60th anniversary on Sept.

10, Toner-Rogala is also preparing for a new chapter in her life in retirement, shortly after.

The NOW caught up with the chief librarian to talk about all things related to the library before she leaves her post.

– Jeremy Deutsch

Why did you become a librarian?

My father always felt it was a natural fit. I loved the work that I was able to do in a school house library. I basically did everything, collection development, bibliographic instruction I did story times and readers advisory.What I loved about it was I just loved helping people and I loved that sense of … that problem that as presented to me, could I answer that question, could I find that piece of information, could I excite a child about a particular book or particular author?

Why should someone come to the library?

Why shouldn’t they? If you’re curious, if you have questions you don’t have answers for, if you’re looking for accurate information. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, I can just Google it and I’ll have all the answers I need,’ and in reality, the internet is an unregulated space.

There’s no one out there in internetland who’s evaluating material on what’s accurate, what’s presented properly, or historically correct.What libraries do is we do a lot of that curating for people. Librarians and libraries have a real role to play, particularly now when there’s so much misinformation and so little knowledge.

MORE THAN BOOKS Burnaby’s chief librarian, Edel Toner-Rogala, will be retiring in September from her post after 13 years with the

city. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

What are the challenges of running a library in the internet era?

The perception is that libraries are kind of stodgy and quiet. If anyone was ever typecast, I think librarians have been. Everyone expects us to have buns in our hair and pencils through our buns.

There’s a bit of an issue around stereotyping. But I can actually say I’ve never met any of those stereotypical librarians.They certainly

don’t work here.

I think a lot of people remember their school library or they had a bad experience as a younger child and they carry that forward.

There’s so much more to what public libraries offer.

Newspapers and libraries have a lot of common, in the sense that we’re traditionally perceived as printbased. I think the other issue we’ve struggled with is the perceptions of the expert. In this day and age,

people aren’t so interested in what experts have to say.

All you have to do is look at what’s happening on the global platform now.

What is the library doing to adapt to the times?

We position ourselves at supporting people.We’re not the expert; you are the expert in your information need. And what we can do is help you meet whatever that need might be in a format or on a device or plat-

form that suits your purpose.

We’re not just about print; we have a broad array of electronic resources, ebooks and audio books you can access just by a library card, which you can pick up for free.We allow the community to have access to far more resources than you could ever have on your own. I couldn’t have a library like this at home or Continued on page 24

Continued from page 23 certainly on my phone.

What we have excelled at here is the idea we’re out in the community.We partner with community partners who use our space, we go out to the community via our pop-up branches; that’s a vehicle that is equipped like a mini-library.We’re out beyond our walls a lot more.

Is there a hidden gem in this library that people might not know is here?

There are lots of hidden gems. It wouldn’t be hidden if told.We have a great DVD collection and a lot of really exceptional independent films that you’re not going to find anywhere else.

Our staff who do the selections have great taste, so you’ll get things you won’t find anywhere else.

How well read are Burnaby residents?

I would say we’re fairly well read. People here in Burnaby read; they read a lot, but they don’t read just in English.We have a very

diverse population here and many people who are literate in three or four different languages, so I would say they are very well read. And for me, reading isn’t just about eyeballs to a piece of paper. Some books are best read when they’re heard.

to tell the stories about why people got involved, very, very powerful. She really fuelled my own interest in oral history and people’s stories because it’s the stories that make us unique.

What will you do in retirement?

I will be starting a new chapter in my life, and what I’ve been telling people is so far it’s going to be a good read, and I wonder what’s going to happen in the next chapter because I really don’t know. I will be leaving Burnaby. I will be moving back to Prince George.

I have family there. I’m sad to leave the city, particularly now as it’s on the cusp of new developments.

I’m interested in community foundations because I believe a lot in capacity building and I think community foundations are a great vehicle for that.

I’m also very interested in the hospice movement. I’ve got tons of quilts to make and a garden to get under control.

What’s your favourite book?

It’s no longer in publication, but I have my own copy, it’s called The Romance of American Communism, by Vivian Gornick. It was written in the mid to late 1970s, and it was, from my perspective, one of the first books that took into account oral history. The Romance of American Communism really looks at the American communism movement till about the late 1960s. She goes around and interviews people about why they joined the party, why they stayed or why they left.

Some of the stories still resonate. I haven’t picked up the book for a while, but the images she creates … the reasons why her ability

Vancouver Policy Changes to Affect New Housing Developments

V

ancouver City Council last month approved a new housing mix policy for rezoning projects and the Zero Emissions Building Plan, both of which will usher in changes to new housing development in the city.

New Housing Mix Policy The housing mix policy increases the required minimum supply of family units to be included in all new strata and rental buildings created through rezoning. Previous policy typically targeted a minimum of 25 per cent twoand three-bedroom units in new strata and rental buildings. The new policy, approved July 13, requires a minimum 35 per cent family units (25 per cent

two-bedroom and 10 per cent threebedroom units or larger) in residential strata projects, and stipulates a minimum target of 35 per cent two- and three-bedroom family units in secured market rental buildings.

“Vancouver is growing and we need more housing built for families – historically the city didn’t ensure enough was built to meet demand,” said Mayor Gregor Robertson in advance of the council meeting at which the policy was approved. “This important policy will help make our neighbourhoods more family friendly and vibrant, and ensure that as Vancouver grows, families can find housing options that work for them.”

City staff ’s presentation to council noted that 8,000 families in Vancouver

were living in studio and one-bedroom homes in 2011, and that since 1991, only five per cent of net additional housing has had three bedrooms.

The new policy applies to all new rezoning projects, but the director of planning may relax the requirements in certain exceptional cases.

Zero Emissions Building Plan Council also approved a phased approach to reduce carbon emission from newly permitted buildings by 70 per cent by 2020, 90 per cent by 2025 and 100 per cent by 2030.

The plan mandates all new buildings to be built to a zero-emission standard like the Passive House standard or to connect to a neighbourhood energy utility to

increase renewable energy supply.

Council also approved building all new city facilities to a zero-emissions standard and developing tools to support the public sector to do the same.

City staff will work with community and industry stakeholders to create a Zero Emissions Building Centre of Excellence to allow builders, developers, designers and homeowners to share information and lessons learned.

The plan, which city manager Sadhu Johnston called “ambitious yet achievable,” is the first major policy change following the city’s adoption of the Renewable City Strategy in November 2015. The strategy commits the city to derive 100 per cent of its energy from renewable sources before 2050.

Underdogs embrace playoff role Burnaby Lakers take Game 1 loss as a lesson Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

This story, admittedly, has a few holes.

Like, who won last night’s rematch where the Burnaby Lakers gave their response after falling 9-6 in Game 1 to the Victoria Shamrocks.

While a newspaper deadline limits our up-to-date coverage, what is apparent is that the Lakers, heavy underdogs against the reigning Mann Cup and regular season champion ‘Rocks, are poised to put their best feet forward and push back after Tuesday’s setback in Victoria.

“We had them on the ropes, we were leading in the third and got the momentum,” remarked Laker veteran Dane Stevens. “Closing it out is something you have to do, and I think we learned an important lesson that we can use going forward.”

Burnaby gaveVictoria a strong test, taking a 6-5 lead on goals by Eli McLaughlin and Josh Byrne early in the third period. McLaughlin’s marker came just 39 seconds into the frame and was followed

by Byrne’s tally three minutes later, propelling the visitors into the lead for the first time in the game.

But in Victoria, where the Q Centre stands are jammed with a vocal crowd of 2,000-plus fans, the atmosphere is both a heavy edge for the home team and also a great energizer for visitors.

“You kind of go in there with a lot of things flowing through your mind,” said Stevens, referring specifically to the first game of the series. “Victoria’s the defending national champs, the arena has a great atmosphere – it’s a tough barn to play in but it’s exciting for the guys.”

Those factors will be in play tonight (Friday) as Game 3 takes to the Q Centre concrete. Game 4 is slated for Sunday, 6 p.m. at the Copeland Sports Centre.

In Game 1, Rhys Duch scored five times, including twice in the last 10 minutes of the contest, to power the Shamrocks to a come-from-behind victory.

A game of shifting momentum, the visitors found themselves down by three just 6:22 into the contest and rallied to tie it midway through the second period.While the Shamrocks regained the lead with two seconds left in the middle frame, Burnaby showed spunk in claiming the lead early in the third on goals by Robert Church and McLaughlin.Victoria, however, would use the final 10 minutes to complete the comeback.

For Stevens, the fact that Burnaby is the underdog doesn’t detract from the fact that they are ready and eager to make this more than a learning experience. “(Being the underdog) is fine for us if it helps us get where we want to go,” he said. “To get there, we have to beat some good teams, and this is the first year in a long time that I’m 100 per cent confident we can do something in the playoffs.

“I think our team, top to bottom, is as strong and talented as any other team.”

Having a gas: Burnaby’s Kaleigh Fratkin, shown at centre last year at the National Women’s Hockey League all-star game, is looking forward to a second season in the pro league, this time as a member of the New York Riveters. PHOTO MICHAEL MAJEWSKI/NWHL

Fratkin embraces trail blazer role

Burnaby native eager to help NewYork Riveters rise up the ranks of the pro circuit Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Kaleigh Fratkin is learning about the business of hockey, and loving it.

While the inner workings of sports often are tainted by ripe politics, life-changing trades, personal grudges and pennywise decisions, Fratkin’s classroom is one of a new enterprise, filled with growth potential and unabashed enthusiasm.There are many doors to knock on and pieces of a ceiling to break through, but the smiles on fans – especially the young girls who are discovering new idols and dreams to cheer on – is a great affirmation.

Welcome to the world of women’s pro hockey.

One of the off-season’s top free agent signings of the New Jersey-based NewYork Riveters, the 24-year-old defenceman is eagerly anticipating the experience of building an on-ice winner, bonding with her new teammates and helping grow the game.

“I’m not making P.K. Subban’s salary but it’s great, great being paid a salary to play,” said Fratkin. “Just the fact that they’re making a point to pay players a salary, something you can pay the rent and live on, as opposed to a stipend to cover gas and food, is wonderful.

“It’s good to just feel like we’re pros.”

Being at the forefront of a new opportunity like the National Women’s Hockey League has its benefits, even though the starting point isn’t lucrative by any sense.

Last year as a rookie she made $20,000 US with the Connecticut Whale, the highest pay among the nearly two-dozen Canadians skating in the league.

Her wage remains the same this season, with the league still focusing on expanding its brand and attracting more fans.The top salary is $25,000.

A former member of the Canadian national women’s development team and Canada’s under-18 team, Fratkin topped all defencemen in scoring last year.

As a star player in the twoyear-old league, Fratkin said the excitement of being part of a venture where opportunities are still being established for trailblazing women hockey players is palpable.

“It’s pretty busy but awesome,” Fratkin told the NOW in a phone interview. “There’s a lot of stuff going on, the league is building from the ground up.

The second season is starting to come together and I’m excited to be with my new team.”

Last year’s inaugural season of the NWHL had Fratkin anchoring the Whale’s blueline

and making a smooth transition from her college days where she starred with Boston University’s women’s program. It came after she spent one year in the Canadian amateur women’s league playing for a team based in Boston.

News of a U.S. east coast pro league, which would pay its players, had been a quiet rumour.

I’m not making P.K. Subban’s salary but it’s great, great being paid a salary to play.

Suddenly, when it officially was unveiled, Fratkin jumped at the chance and signed with the Whale.

She admitted that while the idea sounded great, there were a lot of questions prior to taking to the ice for the first game.

“From when I signed (in May 2015) until October you were really in the dark about everything – is this a crazy idea? What am I getting myself into? Is this a joke?

“It wasn’t until the first game where we had 1,100 people come out, fill the stands that

only seated 900 and line the wall, just to support us,” Fratkin recalled. “They were all excited, grown-ups, kids – I thought, ‘Wow, this is really something.’”

While the Whale jumped out to a great start, winning its first nine games, a surprise coaching change and management issues ended up weighing the team down come playoff time.

But before that, Fratkin received a number of honours, including selected to the NWHL’s first allstar game – where she donned a mascot Chicken head during the skills competition – and was picked up by the Boston Pride to play in the NHL Outdoor Classic’s women’s hockey game at Gillette Stadium.

Although the salary isn’t a living wage, it is an important first step. And to be on the ground floor of something and helping it grow is something the Burnaby native embraces. After all, a few years ago the options for a female hockey player, when college ends, were just to pay to play, like any rec hockey player, or quit. “(After college) I didn’t even know if I’d continue playing,” she said. “At that time I was only 23 and was trying to understand how could I be done playing hockey at that age. It didn’t make sense.

“Prior to (the NWHL), it Continued on page 29

Braves march to BC final

The Burnaby Braves pushed it right to the end, finished second at the bantam A baseball provincials after falling 8-7 to Port Coquitlam in the final.

The under-15 squad capped a strong season at the round-robin tournament where Burnaby outscored its competition 5710.

The Braves advanced to the final by outlasting Vancouver in the semifinal, in a battle where the lead

changed hands two times and required extra innings.

During the season, the squad scored 301 runs and gave up just 69 to post a 21-3 record. Leading the way were defensive standouts Jaden Dhillon, Dante Garcea and Jordan Swannie, who tallied 133 putouts.

On the mound Nicolas Santarelli struck out 40 batters and yielded just three walks for a 2.00 earned run average, while Jaesung Suh fanned 51 batters over 30

innings.

The stable of eight pitchers – which includes Devin Alsop, Matteo Lesjak, Kevin Morgan, Jack Suttle, Mattias Vaid and Swannie – held the opposition to a .187 batting average.

Offensively, Lesjak led the team with 32 RBI and a .478 batting average, while Alsop chipped in with 28 RBI. Swannie also posted a .478 average at the plate, while Suh was .455.

She loves it.

“That’s why I’m still playing,” Fratkin said. “People ask if I’m not making a lot of money why am I still playing.The big thing for me is I don’t want to give it up.

“I love it. If I can play a part in growing the sport where girls down the road can play and not have to take a second job, that’s satisfying.”
