REAL ESTATE VALUES

Property assessments jump – again A typical single-family home in Burnaby will see an increase of 30 to 50 per cent over last year

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

For the second straight year, there will be shock when people open their property assessments for 2017 in the new year.

This week, B.C. Assessment released a preliminary analysis of the 2017 numbers which indicate a significant increase over last year’s

property values.

In parts of Metro Vancouver including Burnaby, the typical single-family home will see an increase of 30 to 50 per cent over 2016’s assessment, while the typical strata residential unit increases will be in the 15 to 30 per cent range.

B.C. Assessment also noted commercial and industrial properties throughout

the Greater Vancouver area will also see significant increases in the 10 to 30 per cent range, with properties being purchased for eventual redevelopment often exceeding these ranges.

If this sounds like déjà vu, it’s because it is.

Around this time last year, B.C. Assessment sent out notices to thousands of homeowners warning them

of a dramatic increase on their assessment. Last year the number was between 15 and 25 per cent. Some homeowners saw increases of more than 30 per cent.

A bigger number on the assessment can pose a couple potential problems for homeowners: increased property taxes and the potential to lose the homeowner grant.

For property taxes, B.C. Assessment suggests not to panic.

“It is important to understand that large increases in property assessments do not automatically translate into a corresponding increase in property taxes,” said assessor Jason Grant in a statement. “Your taxes are actually affected by your assessment changes compared

Former Burnaby school bookkeeper found guilty

Paperwork process is under review

Case involved 85 cheques totalling nearly $99,000

If you’ve ever had a fire or been in an accident in Burnaby, it could soon become easier to get an incident report from the local fire department – for a price.

The city is considering changing the current rules around fire department reports and making them more accessible to people for a bigger fee.

Currently, fire department reports are only available through Freedom of Information (FOI) requests through the city clerk’s office.

The city receives more than 200 FOI requests every year, with close to 70 per cent pertaining to fire department reports, according to a staff report presented at a recent financial management committee meeting.

While the report noted there is a limited abil-

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

More than four years after she was first charged, a former Burnaby school bookkeeper has been found guilty of defrauding a local high school and a Vancouver real estate consulting firm.

Jodi Fingarsen was first charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000 in July 2012 in relation to incidents at Alpha Secondary School between July 2008 and July 2010 and at the Altus Group in Vancouver between July 2011 and October 2011.

She was found guilty of both counts in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver Thursday.

The case against Fingarsen centred around 85

cheques, including bogus Alpha Secondary cheques made out to her directly, third-party cheques made out to businesses and individuals owed money by Alpha, and third-party cheques made out to the Altus Group from clients for services rendered.

Worth a total of nearly $99,000, they were deposited into Fingarsen’s personal accounts at automated teller machines.

She, however, testified she had neither deposited the cheques nor ever noticed the thousands of extra dollars circulating through her accounts over nearly three years.

And her lawyer, John Banks, argued there was no video or photo evidence proving Fingarsen herself had made the de-

posits.

In his decision Thursday, Provincial Court Judge Joseph Galati acknowledged the Crown’s case, presented by prosecutor Jennifer Horneland, rested on circumstantial evidence.

But – other than Fingarsen’s testimony – he said, there was “absolutely no evidentiary basis or evidentiary gap from which to reasonably infer that Ms. Fingarsen was only responsible for those transactions (in her bank account) which do not incriminate her and that all of the other incriminating transactions were done by someone else.”

Galati went on to say Fingarsen’s testimony was “not credible” and that at times she “appeared to be

making it up as she went along under cross-examination.”

“It does not raise a reasonable doubt that it was Ms. Fingarsen who deposited the Alpha cheques into her bank account. It does not raise a reasonable doubt but that Ms. Fingarsen knew she was spending money that did not belong to her,” Galati said.

More than four years after being charged, Fingarsen will now have to wait till at least the end of January to hear her fate.

Galati has ordered a pre-sentencing report with a “psychological component,” and that work is expected to take at least six weeks.

ity to levy a charge for responding to FOI request, the amount does not approach the real cost.The city recommends changing the procedure for releasing fire department documents so they would be routinely available, subject only to protection of personal privacy and payment of an administrative fee to cover staff time for producing the documentation.

The city said fire department staff spend a considerable amount of time producing the reports, and staff in the clerk’s office also spend a disproportionate amount of time on these requests in order to redact certain information subject to privacy laws.

The city said most requests are from insurance companies and pertain to insured loss or personal injury.

Scam artist offers fake windfall to local senior Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The cheque that showed up in one Burnaby resident’s mail sure looked real.

But Lillian, a sharp-eyed senior who did not want to use her last name, figured the $10,000 cheque and $600,000 windfall that would follow from a Publishers Clearing House letter was a little too good to be true.

And she was right. But she felt compelled to warn

other residents, especially seniors, who may be tempted or fooled by the scam.

“It’s a scary thing,” Lillian told the NOW, adding especially this time of year, it could be a real problem for seniors.

While she wasn’t fooled, it didn’t stop the 89-yearold from having a little fun with the would-be scammers.

Lillian explained she phoned the number to claim the prize and spoke to someone back east by the

name of Mr. Diaz.

He told her to deposit the cheque but started asking her questions about her bank account and how much money she had. He urged her to go to the bank that day. Lillian made up an excuse to not follow through and instead called her bank to confirm it was indeed a scam.

“I haven’t fallen off a turnip truck,” she joked. “I may be 89, but I have my wits about me.”

The next day, she phoned

I haven’t fallen off a turnip truck Mr. Diaz who told her the money would be at the airport waiting for her, but to get it, there was a catch.

She would have to pay an $8,000 fee. He was pushy, asking for Lillian’s credit card number. At that point, the senior had enough.

“Mr. Diaz, I don’t think I’ll be doing business with you,” she politely told him. “‘I’m going to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to really speak to you,’ and he said, ‘Oh, thank you, good bye.’”

Besides letting her bank know, she also called Burnaby RCMP about the scam.

While glad she wasn’t taken, Lillian said she was lucky because it looked very real.

“To have a cheque, and having them insist that you go and deposit it, it’s very

tempting,” she said.

Scams are nothing new to Burnaby. Local RCMP have warned the public about various scams over the years. Earlier this year, a Burnaby resident was scammed out of $8,000 worth of iTunes cards.

The woman received a call from a man claiming to be with the Canadian Revenue Agency, who told her she owed money and if she didn’t pay, she’d be cuffed and thrown in jail.

Man charged after missing weapons used in crimes Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

AVancouver Island man guilty of a dozen weapon offences has had some of his missing guns turn up and be used in crimes in Burnaby.

In November, a Supreme Court judge sentenced Bryce Scott McDonald to 40 months in prison for various offences related to the

possession and storage of restricted firearms.

Court heard McDonald had acquired a number of restricted firearms whose registration certificates indicated they were destined for his house in Courtenay.

But after a rifle registered to him was found abandoned in Surrey, RCMP began to investigate. In December 2013, police searched his

home and a storage unit but only found seven of 49 guns registered to him.The seven were found in his home.

McDonald testified that he had sold several of the others, but approximately 30 of the restricted firearms had vanished and were unaccounted for.

At least two guns were used in crimes in Burnaby.

According to affidavit ev-

idence by a police officer during the trial, on June 16, 2014, the RCMP responded to a complaint of a home invasion in progress at 6092 CanadaWay. The suspects fled, but the police found and searched their vehicle.

Inside there was a loaded Storm Ruger handgun registered to McDonald.

Five days later, RCMP were called to a shooting at

Brentwood Town Centre and found a man who had suffered a gunshot wound to his leg. In July 2014, a suspect turned himself in claiming responsibility for this shooting. He surrendered the gun that he had used. It was a 9mm Luger, also registered to McDonald.

In his sentencing, Justice Robin Baird noted McDon-

ald, 34, was not charged with and has not been convicted of firearms trafficking.

But he added the issue of the missing guns is “surely an aggravating factor on the present convictions which focus upon Mr. McDonald’s flagrant misconduct as a licensed gun owner and the scope of his unlawful behaviour in managing his gun collection.”

Accident survivor says thanks to fire crew Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Isidoro Di Salvo was pretty much your average 20-something.When he wasn’t fixing helicopter engines for work, he was playing video games.

That all changed on the night of March 26, 2014.

The Burnaby resident was coming home from Brentwood Mall that evening. As he stepped up to a crosswalk onWillingdon, he got the walk sign.

Di Salvo looked both ways, but his view was partially blocked by an articulating transit bus. He began to cross, but he didn’t see the car running the red light.

“I remember a pressure,” he told the NOW, adding he didn’t feel any pain, but then he blacked out.

When he came to, Di Salvo was lying in the middle of the road being helped a couple of doctors who happened to pass by, and eventually first responders from Fire Hall No. 5.

The firefighters helped

stabilize his head and checked for broken bones.

He had numerous breaks.

When paramedics arrived, a decision was made to take him straight toVancouver General Hospital instead of the local hospital. It was a decision Di Salvo’s surgeon would later tell him likely

saved his arm.

Nearly three years after the fateful night, Di Salvo recently dropped by the fire hall on Hastings Street to thank the first responders who were there for him.

“I have so much more respect for firefighters in general, and paramedics,” he

told the crew.

Meanwhile, the firefighters appreciated the thank you and visit.

“It’s kind of nice to hear sometimes how people do,” said Capt. John Titley. “We do what we do.We put people in the ambulance and that’s usually the last time

we see or hear from them.”

Titley, who was working the night of the accident, suggested Di Salvo was ultimately lucky with how everything worked out.

Besides nearly losing his arm, Di Salvo spent time in a wheelchair, continues to rehab and still gets pain.

“I feel like the Tin Man from TheWizard of Oz sometimes. Everything is stiff,” he joked.

The crash and resulting injuries also meant the now

24-year-old had to give up his job working on helicopter engines.

Di Salvo started volunteering with the Neil Squire Society in Burnaby, an organization that helps people with disabilities find jobs, eventually landing a permanent job there.

He admits, after the crash, he hated life for a while. But not anymore.

“I’m the happiest guy now. I’m happy to be alive,” he said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Huck a snowball – and shovel away As if Mother Nature got sick of hearing us complain about the record number of days of rain we’ve had this fall, she decided to change things up this week.

Chances are you’ve only just finished shovelling up her leavings and it’s now time to brace for another storm.

It means, no doubt, transit delays, lurching traffic and plenty of fender benders thanks in large part to

the sheer number of inexperienced winter drivers we have.

We may sing O Canada just as proudly as they do elsewhere in the country, but winter and all of its trappings are a part of the Canadian identity we’ve thankfully been exempted from. It’s part of what makes the Lower Mainland so attractive to newcomers.

It is also why our mu-

We’d suggest people who haven’t splurged for snow tires have forfeited their right to complain about how long it took for snow to be scraped from their side streets.

nicipalities tend to have just a handful of snowplows available for when

the skiff hits the fan.We’d suggest people who haven’t splurged for snow tires

have forfeited their right to complain about how long it took for snow to be scraped from their side streets.

So, rather than whine about the approaching white menace, we’ll make some suggestions: Leave yourself loads of time and dress warmly if you’ve got a transit ride ahead of you.

Consider carpooling with neighbours, especially if it’s the one time of the

year you’ll put your SUV’s four-wheel drive to use. If you don’t have to go out into it, don’t. Shovel and salt your sidewalk. If your neighbours aren’t as able bodied as you, give them a hand as well. It’s the Canadian thing to do.

And be like the kids.

Embrace it. Huck a snowball.The rain will be back soon enough.

– Guest editorial from the North Shore News

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Endearing or just evading?

On the one hand it’s kind of endearing. On the other hand, it’s starting to look a lot like just old plain political evasion.

Burnaby North-Seymour Liberal MP Terry Beech has yet (as of press time today) to issue a statement on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. He told this paper last weekend that he was working on a more substantive statement. And, to be clear, he hasn’t made any kind of statement on the decision to date other than to say he’s working on a statement.

He held a meeting at his constituency office on Saturday to hear from voters in his riding. He told this paper after that meeting that; “I spent a lot of time thinking and working on this issue, and I have a responsibility to this constituency to make sure that I put their best interests first, and part of that is going to be making sure that sharing how I feel about this matter is done with reflection.”

Well, it’s close to 11 days after Trudeau made the announcement and now Beech says his statement is probably going to be a video, and that should be released soon.

The endearing part, in case you’re wondering at this point, is that we do believe this has been a shock to Beech. And it probably reveals, we hope, that he is an idealistic and sincere man unsuspecting of the cruel turns of political leaders and

politics.

But, really? A video after 11 days.That’s where potentially endearing turns into crass politics and avoidance.

The day after the announcement MP Joyce Murray, who was opposed to the pipeline, came out and said she was disappointed and clearly not pleased with the decision. She balanced that by saying she understands there are difficult decisions to be made, but she held fast to her own position. Good for her.While she knows there might very well be a political cost that she will personally pay for this decision, she didn’t go all “kumbaya” on it.

Of course, NDP MP Kennedy Stewart said that Beech should resign his seat immediately.

Perhaps that’s why Beech is taking so long to comment. Perhaps he was thinking of resigning and wants to tell constituents that he can better serve them in government dogging the Kinder Morgan project than raging as an outsider. Perhaps he’s spent days crafting the perfect script to go into a compelling video that will make critics of the pipeline feel for the “emotionally exhausted” MP who must carry the oily burden of his government’s decision. Perhaps he’s counting on Christmas chaos to grab constituents’ and the media’s attention and avoid the tough questions altogether?

We hope not.

Diesel spills into creek

An estimated 12,700 litres of diesel fuel was spilled into Stoney Creek in May after a CN Rail train collided with a shopping cart filled with rocks.The cart, left on the tracks by vandals near Government and Horne roads, ruptured the train’s fuel tank. Only about half the fuel, 6,800 litres, had been cleaned up by the end of June. Fuel, at that time, was still seeping from an area down a bank and below the tracks, but crews were collecting it before it hit the creek.

Rail transport is a better alternative than bitumen pipeline

The trouble with ‘affordable’ housing

Dear Editor Let us divide the Kinder Morgan pipeline issue into two components, climate change and getting bitumen from Alberta to tidewater. If we put aside climate change, we should certainly do our part to help Alberta get its bitumen to world markets. Then the question becomes how to do it and by what route?

Clearly the most intelligent shipping method is to send undiluted bitumen by rail, because cleaning up a spill is like cleaning up peanut butter; there It would be will be little or no conworth it to tamination reduce the if it is done risks to human properly, and will health and the nobody be breathing environment the cancercausing chemicals that are added to bitumen to make it flow in a pipeline. There have been at least two serious proposals for shipping the bitumen by rail already. The obvious route is to Prince Rupert as the rail line already exists.

Would this cost more than the pipeline? I do not know, but it would be worth it to reduce the risks to human health and the environment. It would also provide more flexibility as it would be much easier to stop it if that were deemed necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or became desirable for oil companies if it became unprofitable.

This solution should only be considered if the federal government can show a plan in which this is consistent with our climate commitments.

David Huntley, Burnaby

So ‘only communities can grant permission,’ PM Trudeau?

Dear Editor On the question of the opposed Kinder Morgan pipeline project, the Trudeau government just didn’t get it.

Despite the lineup against the proposal – including three Liberal members of Parliament, the mayors of Vancouver, Burnaby and Victoria, the First Nations Tsleil-Waututh community, the provincial NDP official opposition, dozens of environmental groups and the countless people living within hailing distance of the pipeline route –Trudeau took a page from the Harper regime and declared the massive and dangerous Kinder Morgan project to be in the (somewhat nebulous) “national interest.”

That not only tells us that regional and local interests are not to be given serious consideration, but it belies the 2015 Liberal Party pre-election policy statement “while governments grant permits only communities can grant permission.”

The sad thing is that we fell for it.

Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

NewCity The problem with ordinary Canadians is that we have this sense of entitlement. They live in places they can’t afford, they buy the most expensive car, spend money on the newest iPhone and then complain they have no money to pay the rent.

I lived in a tiny basement for 13 years in Burnaby saving up for a down payment on a condo. I could certainly afford the $1600 per month rent in downtown Vancouver but my strategy is to suffer when I’m young so i can enjoy the spoils when I’m older. I’m 8 years away from paying off my mortgage at which time my only responsibility is a strata fee of about $280 per month and property tax of $100. $380 per month living in a luxury condo is pretty awesome!

I have a pair of shoes that have holes in it, and also drive a Civic that’s dented and smells like mould. And my phone is old and has a cracked screen. On the street I look like i probably don’t have much money and maybe you look like you have a lot of it but people’s impressions of me quickly change once they step into my condo.

The problem with Canadians is that they squander their money and want to live like high-rollers. Wait until you see what your Canada Pension plan will afford you. You’ll be living in some outpost somewhere far from the city and you’ll hate your younger self. Me, I worked hard and sacrificed so much to attain what matters. Thus I’m not whining about life as though it’s going to make a difference. No government can afford to house the millionaire ns of Canadians in need of “affordable housing” - I bet you don’t even know who qualifies for affordable housing and hint - this isn’t social housing. Even i can sell my condo and line up for affordable housing all while i have six figures in my account.

The city lobbied the provincial government to increase the eligibility threshold, but in the end there was no change.

Coun. Paul McDonell said he expects council to lobby the government again, but he doesn’t think it will change much.

“When it comes to Burnaby, this government isn’t too friendly toward us,” he said.

McDonell said nobody wants to see a 30 to 50 per

“Sooner or later, it gets to the point where people throw up their hand,” he said.

But the councillors also

acknowledged the increase makes it tough on city councils as they come up with budgets and tax rates for the year.

He said council will be doing everything to keep taxes as low as possible, but noted city costs are going up.

“There’s no magic answer to this problem,” McDonell said.

The assessments were taken on July 1, before the provincial government brought in a 15 per cent foreign buyer property transfer tax in Metro Vancouver.

Paperwork process changing Continued from page 3 The report point outs other jurisdictions do not consider the files as FOI requests but instead include them as publicly available documents.

“Removing these documents from the FOI pro-

cess and including them as a public record will not change the amount of work required to produce them, but it will allow the fire department to request a reasonable fee to compensate for the time spent doing so,” the report stated.

The proposed cost to get a copy of a fire investigation would be $200, a motor vehicle incident or medical incident report would be $100 and a copy of any other report would be $150.

The current fee for a copy of “any other report” is $10.

SFU students push for move away from oil

University agrees to decrease its investment portfolio’s carbon footprint by at least 30 per cent by 2030 Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Asking fossil fuel companies to reduce their carbon footprint is like asking McDonald’s to stop making burgers, according to an SFU student group pushing for the university to rid itself of investments in oil and gas companies.

That’s why SFU350 will continue to push for full divestment even as the university has agreed to decrease its investment portfolio’s carbon footprint by at least 30 per cent by 2030.

SFU’s board of governors voted last month to approve the 30 per cent reduction on a recommendation from its responsible investment committee.

“Decreasing the carbon footprint of investment portfolios is more likely to reduce greenhouse gases than simply divesting from fossil fuel companies, particularly if this approach is adopted by others,” SFU board deputy chair Julia Kim said in a press release.

SFU president Andrew Petter has told media full divestment is not practical because many of the university’s investments are in pooled funds.The university has a $700-million investment portfolio and it doesn’t have any direct investments in fossil fuel companies.

He also noted full divestment would mean losing any impact the university might have in getting companies to change their behaviour.

SFU350 co-president Tessa Ramburn, however, maintained there’s never been an example yet of shareholder engagement making any difference to a fossil fuel company’s carbon

footprint.

“That’s like asking McDonald’s to stop making burgers,” she said. “It’s at the base of their practices themselves.”

And if the university intends to reduce its carbon investments by 30 per cent, it will have to sift through its pooled investments anyway, so full divestment should also be possible, according to Ramburn.

“I believe the university is still trying to navigate how to go through that process,” she said. “Once this has been done for the 30 per cent, I think it would be possible for 100 per cent.”

But the board’s decision was an important step, according to Ramburn.

“The strength of the divestment movement is that it removes the social licence that fossil fuel companies have in society,” she said.

“That’s why when universities or any other institutions divest, they’re making a statement that fossil fuel companies are not OK to be invested in in the society we live in in the context of global climate change. So, in that sense, that statement that SFU has made is very pow-

erful.”

SFU350 has been advocating for full divestment since the group formed in 2013.

The group’s influence was noted by Petter last month, who said the group’s advocacy was “instrumental in encouraging the university to develop its new policy,” according to an SFU press release.

“When we first started the campaign, the university did not have a responsible investment committee or a responsible investment policy,” Ramburn said.

The responsible investment committee was formed in spring 2014 and the policy adopted in May 2015.

Ramburn said SFU started looking into the 30 per cent reduction – in line with Canada’s national climate commitment – after the University of Ottawa made the same commitment in April.

Ramburn said the university has been “very open” to having conversations with her group and considering its input on the policy.

Check out December exhibit at Deer Lake Gallery Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Art lovers, don’t forget about the new exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery.

The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting Satirical Pop of Colour, featuring the work of Vicki Lynn Rae and Carla Sumarlidson, at the gallery until Jan. 14.

The exhibition, which opened on Dec. 3, is described as “a unique com-

bination of vibrant imagery entrenched in fantasy and remembrance.”

“Sumarlidson’s work is born of her imagination and spontaneously combusted onto the canvas,” a press release says. “They are vividly pictorial and surrealistic, born of life experiences from her 40-year career in the arts in Vancouver.”

Rae’s work explores origination – South American and Canadian aboriginal – “thematically interrelated from memories and a pro-

jection of her spirituality,” the release says.

“Her work is a raw selfanalysis; it breathes surrealism and is reminiscent of Munch.There is a great deal of symbolism used to render such themes as addiction and recovery.”

Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyartscouncil. org or call 604-298-7322 for more.

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Fair Haven United Church Homes held its second annual Light up a Life fundraiser last month.

The faith-based group, which is based in Burnaby and Vancouver, provides extended care and independent housing to low-income seniors.

For the Nov. 20 fundraising event, staff decorated the courtyard at the Sussex Avenue home with a Christmas display of lights and

decorations.There was hot chocolate, cake and carollers to entertain the crowd.

For every dollar that was donated that evening, a light was lit.

“To date, we’ve raised over $2,500 (since) the second last week of November,” said receptionist and accounting clerk Jennie Hollinshead, adding the fundraiser will continue throughout December.

The money raised will go towards buying new mattresses for residents. Last year, five beds were purchased, and this year’s goal is to get 10 more.

Buy one entree & 2 beverages at regular price & receive a 2nd entree of equal or lesser value (up to $12 value) for FREE!

To donate or for more information, call 604-4350525.

A TREE FROM AUNT LEAH’S Nothing is better than the smell of fresh pine.

If you haven’t got your Christmas tree yet, visit Aunt Leah’s Burnaby tree lot at the All Saints Anglican Church (7405 Royal Oak Ave.).

For more than 20 years,

Aunt Leah’s trees have been raising money to fund programs that help prevent children in foster care from becoming homeless.

The non-profit also helps young mothers from losing custody of their children. Last year, more than $325,000 was raised and more than 450 volunteers helped out.

The Burnaby location is open from now until Dec.

21, Monday to Thursday, from 1 to 8 p.m.; and Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

To learn more or to volunteer, visit auntleahs.org.

ELKS PULL THROUGH Christmas came early for a local charity.

Reg Seguin of South Burnaby Elks No. 497, a fraternal charitable organization with chapters across

the country, visited the office of Children of the Street Society recently.

Seguin hand-delivered a cheque for another $1,000 to support the society’s prevention workshops delivered in Burnaby schools.

To date, the group has given $3,000 to help the society keep young people safe from all forms of sexual exploitation.

Stockings help those in need Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The owner of a Burnaby flower shop is asking the public to open their hearts – and their pockets – this holiday season.

For the last three years, Mandy Karpoff with Plush Floral Studio in the Heights has been handing out stockings on Christmas Day to residents living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

About a month before the big day, she buys dollar store stockings and asks customers and friends to return them filled with goodies.

“People fill them up with personal hygiene items, snacks, warm hats, stuff like that,” she said, noting $10 in enough to fill one. “It’s cheaper than a cheap bottle of wine. Some people get really excited; they take one and they come back

with three that they bought on their own, or some people write a little private note or a Christmas card. It’s a pretty cool thing.”

Forty stockings were handed out in 2014, added Karpoff, and another 200 were given out last year.

Asked if a goal has been set this time around, she said “as many as I can.” So far, half a dozen stockings have been returned.

“They really seem to be grateful,” Karpoff said of the residents. “It’s really lovely – eye contact and hugs, and a little bit more along the lines of what I think the season should be about.”

The florist said last Christmas, the 200 stockings were given away in 10 minutes.

“I would love to make it like 15 minutes’ worth or like half an hour, or need like a couple vehicles,” she

A Christmas gift for animal lovers

ca/p/promotions. She’ll be accepting them until Dec. 24.

Plush Floral Studio is at 3978 Hastings St.

Here’s a Christmas gift that can help make life brighter for wildlife – and make the holidays meaningful for the animal lover in your life.

The Burnaby-based Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. is offering a Foster Fur and Feathers program for holiday giving.

It gives gift givers a chance to “foster” an animal on behalf of a gift recipient.The gift recipient receives a certificate (either printed or electronic) with a photo and information about the sponsored species.

“By supporting our Foster Fur and Feathers program, you are joining our efforts to save sick, injured or orphaned wildlife,” says a write-up about the program.

Sponsorship comes in a wide range of prices, from $25 up to $250. For $25, you can sponsor a bird such as a bushtit, a pine siskin or a Wilson’s warbler. Moving up to $40 will allow you to choose from species such as a grey or Douglas squirrel or a Western gull. For $100, you can sponsor a variety of species – a striped skunk, a common loon or a little brown bat among them.

At the higher end, a redtailed hawk, a short-eared owl or a raccoon will set you back $150, while $250 will get you sponsorship of a great blue heron or an American beaver.

Other options are also available.You can check them all out online at www. wildliferescue.ca/foster or order by phone at 604-5262747, ext. 502.

Steelers’ offence stalls in chilly effort Bulldogs Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s no time to panic, but the Grandview Steelers appear to be driving on winter roads in summer tires.

Having led the Tom Shaw Conference almost since the 2016-17 Pacific Junior B Hockey League season began, the Steelers now share first with the rising Delta Icehawks, who are riding a four-game win streak.

Grandview, meanwhile, has gone 5-5 over its past 10 games, including Wednesday’s 4-1 loss in Aldergrove.

It was the team’s second straight loss.

The Steelers struck first, taking the lead 4:56 in the first on Mario Sever’s second tally of the season. But just 26 seconds later, Aldergrove pulled even on Matt Oliver’s goal.While neither team scored in the middle frame, the Kodiaks grabbed the two points with three unanswered markers in the third period.

The visitors managed a measly 10 shots on goal in the game, including just a pair over the final 20 minutes.

It came on the heels of Sunday’s disappointing 2-0 setback to Richmond at the Burnaby Winter Club, where the Steelers outshot the visiting Sockeyes 33-26 but couldn’t put one past Merek Pipes.The Richmond netminder secured his fourth shutout of the season – and second one against Grandview.

“We’ve definitely hit a bit of a speed bump here and struggling to generate shots,” said Steelers general manager Aldo Bruno.

“The last couple of games our shots-ongoal haven’t been the greatest, and we’re not creating many chances.”

Richmond took the lead midway through the second, cashing in a powerplay opportunity, then doubled it nearly five minutes later.

The home team managed just nine shots in the third period.

Grandview’s last successful result came on Saturday in Port Moody, when they edged the Panthers 5-4, thanks to Braeden Gurney’s Circling towards the net: Grandview Steelers’ Adam Rota drives towards the net during Sunday’s junior B hockey game 12th of the season, a powerplay goal with six against Richmond. On Saturday, Rota scored twice in the team’s come-from-behind 5-4 win. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER minutes left in regulation.

It capped a comeback, as the Steelers to walk out of Port Moody with the win.

Loutets, Strashenko make provincial waves Burnaby canoe, kayakers selected to provincial team; two others earn development spots

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Three 15 year olds with the Burnaby Kayak and Canoe Club showed all year long that age is no impediment to success.

The trio’s hard work has now earned a major kudo.

Burnaby twins Samantha and Katrina Loutet and Ivan Strashenko were among 40 people selected to Canoe Kayak BC’s provincial team for canoe and kayak sprint paddlers.

At 15, Samantha and Katrina have each made separate inroads into the sports’

competitive tributaries over the past year. A provincial team Level 5 athlete last year, Samantha competed at the Western Canada Summer Games and has made a smooth transition to Level 3, meeting time standards for women’s canoe.

She also competed at Sprint nationals in Nova Scotia this past summer, and last month was presented with the u15 Female Canoe Athlete of theYear Award.

Katrina’s success has come in the kayak, having participated in this year’s B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford, and also at the

Sprint nationals. She was chosen in Level 5.

Strashenko, meanwhile, was selected in Level 5 kayak. He joined Katrina at the B.C. Summer Games this past summer.

Athletes were chosen based on results from the past season, including national team selection, B.C. performance standard, or nominated by the coach’s technical committee.

Added to the club’s success – which has grown since the hiring of head coach Wes Hammer in 2014, who was chosen the 2016 Development Coach

of theYear – was the naming of 14-year-olds Mika Asano in kayak, and Georgia Langdon in canoe for the B.C. Development Team, a new element to the provincial talent assessment program. It came on the heels of them receiving multiple sprint development awards a month ago.The pair were selected in both u14 and u15 canoe, while Quinn Thomson made off with the boys’ u13 and u14 honours.

The provincial program acknowledges and supports athletes with potential to make junior, u23 and senior

development and national teams.They have also demonstrated a commitment to reaching these goals.

The Burnaby club enjoyed a successful year with a second consecutive Pacific Cup victory in September.

Along with Samantha Loutet’s award at last month’s Canoe Kayak B.C. event, other Burnaby members received recognition.

In kayak, Asano was named a top novice and u14 recipient, as were Katrina Loutet (u15), Ingrid Rangel Ortega (u11), Lucas Fong (u11) and Strashenko (u15).

bark and battle

Byrne Creek demonstrate offensive flare in six-game run Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

At the start of a new season, potential usually has a leg-up on results before reality shines through.

The Byrne Creek senior boys Bulldogs’ head coach Bal Dhillon believes the two could align quicker than anticipated.

Already with six basketball games under their belt, Byrne Creek has displayed some of the grit and skill that will be needed to realize all that potential come February.

“I think the season is such a long climb,” said Dhillon, on the heels of a five-game run over seven days. “Our goals don’t hinge on any particular game but to demonstrate day-in, day-out that we are learning, learning things in practice and implementing them into games.”

On Wednesday, they picked up the season-opening victory in Burnaby-New West league play, beating the visiting New West Hyacks 71-52.

Behind Abdul Bangura’s 20 points and Bithow Wan’s 18, the Bulldogs maintained an edge over a grinding, persistent Hyacks crew before widening the gap in the late stages.

“It was close most of the way. New West is always a tough game, they play hard and you’ve got to play with some grit to beat them.”

A day earlier, the Burnaby squad ventured to Richmond to face McNair, and handed the honourable mentioned team a 74-53 loss.

Turning in strong efforts on both sides of the ball were Wei Deng, Shane Rafferty and Grade 10 Sufi Ahmed.

In his fourth year behind the Bulldogs bench, Dhillon has seen a lot of great kids step up, roll with the punches and make major contributions in seasons where a berth to the B.C.s was within their grasp, only to fall short.

At the first Bulldogs Invitational tournament, the hosts got three good tests, beginning with a solid 91-43 win over league rival Burnaby North.They followed that by nudging Sr.Winston Continued on page 28

Byrne Creek builds for AAA playoff push Continued from page 27

Churchill 85-72, before getting bumped 85-82 by No. 10-rated Rick Hansen.

“That game had a few swings – they were up, then we were up,” remarked Dhillon. “Some of their kids hit some big shots towards the end and it really came down to that.”

Byrne Creek opened the season 10 days ago against another ranked opponent, falling 78-51 to top-5 rated Quad-A Kitsilano.

This year’s roster has all the elements minus a tall, rangy centre, the coach noted.The leadership core revolves around Ahmed, Bangura and Wan – the latter a seasoned senior player as a Grade 10. “(Wan) is like any senior kid who has that experience, just he got started in Grade 9,” noted Dhillon. “(Bangura) is the same – he’s a

Grade 12 who’s played varsity since Grade 9.We’re lucky to have kids who were capable to make that jump.”

Also counted on for key moments are Wel Deng, Garrett Hill and Tyril Whitebear.

At this stage of the season, getting the work in and seeing how the lessons evolve in game experience are what’s important, said the coach.

“You want to show kids different things, you want them to try things that may not work but keep learning.

It’s a process – you want them to want to be playing everyday and having fun.

These are the things that matter.”

The Bulldogs next test comes this week at the Tsumura tournament in Langley, followed by a league game on Monday, 6:45 p.m. when Cariboo Hill comes to Byrne Creek.

An AllAmerican: Simon Fraser University libero Alison McKay was named to the AVCA Div. 2 All-American team. PHOTO RON HOLE/SFU ATHLETICS

SFU’s McKay carts off more hardware

The accolades keep rolling in for Simon Fraser University women’s volleyball libero Alison McKay. On Wednesday, the senior was named a 2016 American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Div. 2 Third-Team AllAmerican, and an honourable mention to the D2CCA AllAmerica team, both firsts for McKay and the SFU Clan volleyball program. It came on the heels of being chosen as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s Defensive Player of theYear for a second consecutive season.

“I’ve grown a lot both as a person and a player,” said McKay of her four-year career with the Clan. “To take on the role I did this season, it was definitely rewarding being recognized for the work that I put in. It’s a pretty exciting thing to be a part of.”

In leading the Clan to a best-ever 21-8 record and firstever NCAA Div. 2 tournament appearance, McKay was a dominant force on the defensive side of the ball this season.

When the Port Moody native was on the floor, opponents were held to just a 0.157 hitting percentage, as the senior accounted for an average of 6.57 digs per set, the highest to-

tal in the GNAC and fourth overall in NCAA Div. 2.

“It’s always nice to see our players get recognized, especially on the national stage,” said SFU coach Gina Schmidt.

“There are a lot of great players in the NCAA, and Aly certainly belongs among that top-level calibre of player.”

Making the feat all the more impressive is the sheer volume of quality players McKay beat out for the honour.

From 315 NCAA Div. 2 programs, just two liberos were named – Emily Tripp of Arkansas Fort-Smith, and McKay – to the AVCA All-American teams.

“She certainly has been the backbone of our defence since she arrived four years ago, and our defense has been one of our defining characteristics in those years. She’s been incredibly important as a stabilizing presence back there,” added Schmidt.

Though she was first, McKay definitely doesn’t see herself as the last All-American for a Clan team on the rise.

SFU enjoyed its best year on the NCAA Div. 2 court but fell to the Northwest Nazarene Crusaders in the first round of the West Regional playoff.

bake a batch of sweet sugar cookies Holiday baking is a tradition that stretches through time. What person doesn’t look forward to the treats the season brings? Cookies are often gifted to friends and family members, and they usually help complete the dessert offerings after the holiday meal.

Sugar cookies are an ideal holiday cookie because of their versatility. They can be dressed-up however you see fit, whether iced, covered in sprinkles or enjoyed as they are dunked in hot cocoa. To make successful sugar cookies, try this triple-tested recipe courtesy of Monica Buck and Good Housekeeping.

Sugar Cookies Yields: 5 dozen cookies N N N N N N N N N

1 cup butter, softened ½ cup sugar 1 large egg 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt Frosting (optional) Coarse sugar crystals, silver dragees, holiday decors (opt.)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat butter and sugar until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and creamy. On low speed, beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking powder and salt until blended.

Sugar cookies and the holiday season often go hand-in-hand.

2. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; flatten each piece into a disk. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until dough is firm enough to roll. (Or place dough in freezer 30 minutes.)

3. On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll 1 piece of dough 1/8 inch thick. With floured 3-inch to 4-inch cookie cutters, cut dough into as many cookies as possible; wrap and refrigerate trimmings. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet.

4. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and trimmings.

5. When cookies are cool, decorate with frosting if you like; use along with sugars and candies to decorate cookies. Set cookies aside to allow frosting to dry completely, about 1 hour. Store in tightly covered container (with waxed paper between layers if decorated) at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or in freezer up to 3 months.
