Singh wins. Now the real work begins

Just hours after playing dance-floor hype man at his victory party, Jagmeet Singh was back at work.

The NDP leader and incoming MP for Burnaby South was making the media rounds by phone Tuesday morning, presenting his plan to rally the country behind him before the fall general election.

“We want to show people the choices they have,”

Singh told the NOW. He said people can choose between a Liberal government that will uphold the status quo, a Conservative government that doesn’t believe its job is to make lives better, or a New Democratic government that will build housing and implement a universal pharmacare program.

Singh cruised to victory in the Burnaby South byelection Monday, pulling 39 per cent of the vote. Liberal Richard Lee was near-

ly 3,000 votes behind him, with 26-per-cent support.

Conservative Jay Shin came in a close third with 22.5 per cent.

Singh thanked voters, his new neighbours, for their support.

“I will be your champion,” he said. “I will take each and every one of you to Ottawa. I will fight for you in the House of Commons.”

Singh, the first visible minority leader of a major federal party, said he never

imagined seeing someone like him running to become prime minister.

“We just showed a lot of kids out there that yes, you can,” he said to the raucous cheers of New Democratic supporters assembled at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

After his speech and speaking to media, Singh emceed the victory party.

He clutched the mic as he sang along to Post Malone’s Congratulations, taught supporters bhangra dance

moves and cheered as his mom danced the twist.

But by the next morning, Singh had clearly put the celebratory mood behind him, with a big task ahead.

Singh’s party is mired in the polls at 14 per cent nationally, while the Liberals and Conservatives are at 35 and 34 per cent respectively, according to the CBC’s poll tracker aggregate.

The party has also struggled to fundraise, pulling in $5.2 million in 2018, far behind the Conservatives’

$24.3 million and Liberals’ $16.6 million.

The party also didn’t fare well in the other two byelections Monday, losing former leader Tom Mulcair’s Quebec seat and coming in a distant third in Ontario.

Singh said he’s confident he’ll be able to turn the ship around.

“We’re going to sharpen our message, which is we do believe that we can make better choices,” he said.

Citynow COURT

Jury deliberates Starbucks death Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Three different versions of the punch that killed 22-year-old Michael PageVincelli at a Burnaby Starbucks two-and-a-half years ago were put to a B.C. Supreme Court jury this week in the trial of a couple accused of manslaughter in his death.

Lawrence Sharpe and Oldouz Pournouruz have pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Page-Vincelli died after a punch from Sharpe inside the Kensington Square Starbucks on July 12, 2017 knocked him back, causing his head to hit the ground and possibly a counter.

In closing submissions this week, Sharpe’s lawyer, Jack Thorhaug, argued the 40-year-old had acted in self-defence.

According to Sharpe, Page-Vincelli came towards him with his hands up and he was protecting himself.

A Starbucks security video shows Page-Vincelli eating a bag of chips when Sharpe punches him, but Thorhaug said the camera angle doesn’t capture PageVincelli’s face or left side.

Thorhaug also argued there were subtle indications on the video Page-Vincelli had moved towards Sharpe before Sharpe strode towards him and punched

OUTSIDE COURT: Lawrence Sharpe threw the punch that led to the death of MIchael Page-Vincelli. him.

Pournouruz is accused of encouraging the punch because of an altercation she and Page-Vincelli had had in front of the Royal Bank next door to the Starbucks while her boyfriend was inside the bank.

According to Pournouruz, Page-Vincelli had stared at her while she sat in her car outside the bank with the windows down.

When she didn’t return his gaze, she said he had

thrown a still-lit cigarette butt at her, saying “That’s what you get for saying no.”

An argument had ensued, during which the pair yelled and swore at each other.

Sometime during the dispute, Pournouruz had warned Page-Vincelli he’d better leave before Sharpe came out of the bank and beat him up.

After Page-Vincelli walked off to Starbucks, Pournouruz went into the bank. Security video shows

them speaking briefly before walking briskly to the Starbucks.

The Starbucks video shows Pournouruz enter the coffee shop first and point to Page-Vincelli, before Sharpe steps around her, strides up to Page-Vincelli and punches him in the face.

Pournouruz’ lawyer, Pamela Smith-Gander, argued her client could have had no idea what Sharpe was going to do, since he was behind her and she had never seen

him commit a violent act.

Smith-Gander said there had been no time for the couple to formulate a plan to assault Page-Vincelli, and that Pournouruz’s statement that Sharpe would beat him up was not a threat but a way to get Page-Vincelli away from her because he had frightened her and she felt alone.

Crown prosecutor Colleen Smith, however, urged the jury to reject the testimony of both Sharpe and

Pournouruz.

She began her final submission with a statement Sharpe had made to an undercover officer planted with him in the Burnaby RCMP detachment cells which contradicts his claim he acted in self-defence.

“He bullied my girlfriend, and I f***ing clocked him for it,” Sharpe had told the officer. She said the video evidence clearly shows Sharpe punched Page-Vincelli without warning.

She argued the subtle indication Page-Vincelli had moved before being hit were likely the result of Page-Vincelli turning his body, not moving towards Sharpe, since his feet don’t appear to move.

Smith told the jury Pournouruz’s claims of extreme fear also were not credible, since a number of witnesses testified both Pournouruz and Page-Vincelli had argued loudly and sworn at each other, and Pournouruz herself had testified she had been bullied and didn’t believe in backing away from bullies.

Smith argued witness descriptions of Pournouruz’ conduct and demeanour before the punch proved beyond a reasonable doubt she had been “determined to get her apology and that Mr. Sharpe was her instrument for getting it.”

PPC tapped into ‘fear and misunderstanding’: Hurley Continued from page 1 Singh said the NDP will expand on its two central policy issues in the byelection – housing and pharmacare – in the coming months.

Asked whether he would return the party to its socialist roots and away from its more recent centrist election platforms, Singh said he has “staked out some really strong ground” in his vows to build 500,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years and introduce a national universal pharmacare program.

And he’s not stopping there.

“I want to look towards full comprehensive coverage that includes dental care and eye care,” he said. “I’ve signalled some of these things, and I’m really excited about what we can do if we make better decisions.”

But will the concerns of Burnaby South residents be forgotten as Singh travels the country in an attempt to revive his party?

“Not at all,” he said, “because the top concerns that people in Burnaby South have raised with me are the top concerns that I’m going to bring to Ottawa, that I’m going to fight on.”

Singh’s sights are set high for the federal election.

“I want to be prime minister, and I will work hard to achieve that goal,” he said.

“My goal will always be to form government because I feel like that’s the way I can make the most positive change in people’s lives and build a better country.”

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley said he was excited to have a party leader representing the community. He said he hopes Singh will be able to bring much-need-

ed federal housing funds to Burnaby.

“The federal government has claimed all along that there’s $40 billion available for affordable housing over the next 10 years.We have not, up until this point, been able to unlock any of that

money,” Hurley said.

“So I’m hoping that Jagmeet can work together with the city and the other MPs in our city to ensure that we can finally achieve some of that money that’s been promised.”

Monday’s byelection

also saw the nascent People’s Party of Canada receive approximately 11 per cent of the vote.The local candidate, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, repeatedly brought up the murder of Burnaby teen Marrisa Shen during the election as a rea-

son to screen refugees more stringently. (The man accused in the murder is a Syrian refugee who has yet to have his charges tested in court.)

Singh said the PPC is taking anger that should be directed towards consecutive Liberal and Conservative governments and misdirecting it towards “people who are not to blame.”

Hurley had a similar explanation.

“I think there’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding and I think that party’s really been able to engage people that are involved with being scared of what’s happened throughout the country,” Hurley said. “But I think this will pass over and the People’s Party of Canada will struggle to gain a foothold across the country and especially in Burnaby.”

City now Council wants outside panel to decide on pay raise Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The members of Burnaby’s city council have decided they shouldn’t be the ones to decide whether they deserve a raise.

On Monday, council voted to create an outside panel that will consider a proposal to increase the mayor’s pay by $37,075 and councillors’ pay by $8,900.

City staff recommended council approve the pay raises to offset tax changes made by the federal government.The increases wouldn’t necessarily mean the politicians would take home more money, staff

wrote in a report.

Before Jan. 1, 2019, local politicians across Canada were able to exempt onethird of their salary from income taxes, but the exemption has been eliminated.

“The increase would result in approximately the same net pay for all members of council as though the tax exemption for the non-accountable allowance was still applicable,” staff wrote.

Nevertheless, Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said the increases would cost the city an extra $110,000 annually.

“That’s a fair amount of money when you look at it

just from the gross side of it,” he said.

Council is “taking extra caution” by appointing an outside panel to make sure any increase it approves is in line with other municipalities, Dhaliwal said.

Coun. Colleen Jordan suggested the city try to recruit the same individuals who sat on a panel that crafted Burnaby’s current remuneration policy in 2008 to expedite the process. City staff said they would contact those people.

Coun. Dan Johnston said the tax change amounted to the federal government downloading taxation to municipalities.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

NEB chose cold, hard cash over the environment

Raise your hand if you actually thought the National Energy Board would go against the Trans Mountain project.

Hmmm, not seeing any hands raised.

Now, is it because you think the pipeline expansion project is such an obvious slam dunk that the NEB would have no choice but to support it, or because the energy agency is just a puppet for the federal government and was going through the motions?

We choose to believe the latter.We don’t believe the

NEB ever truly considered not supporting the project during the court-mandated “reconsideration” process during the past few months.

That seemed pretty clear based on the last NEB assessment of Trans Mountain.The Federal Court of Appeal had harsh words for the NEB over its handling of the review.

The court ruling savaged the NEB, saying a “critical error” was made in regards to the lack of consideration of tanker traffic in waters around Burnaby and Vancouver, and beyond.

“The unjustified exclusion of marine shipping from the scope of the project led to successive, unacceptable deficiencies in the (NEB’s) report and recommendations,” said the court.

The NEB has long been viewed as an organization heavily biased towards the energy sector and its reconsideration report on Friday did nothing to dissuade anyone from that view.

Take the NEB’s statement that the project was in the “Canadian public interest.”What they really mean is in the “business interest”

because they ignored the environmental impacts and highlighted only economic benefits.

“The Reconsideration report concludes that Project-related marine shipping is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects on the Southern resident killer whale and on Indigenous cultural use associated with the Southern resident killer whale,” read the NEB’s statement. “The NEB also found that greenhouse gas emissions from Project-related marine vessels would likely be signifi-

cant.”

Gee, those things sound pretty serious. Isn’t Canada trying to fight climate change?

“While these effects weighed heavily in the NEB’s consideration of Project-related marine shipping, the NEB recommends that the Government of Canada find that they can be justified in the circumstances, in light of the considerable benefits of the Project and measures to minimize the effects,” said the NEB’s statement.

And by benefits, they

mean financial benefits, such as access to “diverse markets” for Canadian oil and jobs. Of course, not everyone agrees that the potential benefits are as big for Canada as predicted.

And financial benefits don’t mean much if the planet continues on its downward environmental slide, or if there’s a ginormous oil spill.

So, basically, the NEB chose money over the environment, which is the kind of thinking that got our planet into this mess in the first place.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Minister builds up rainy-day fund

Do not let what appears to be a relatively small budget surplus fool you: Finance Minister Carole James has socked more than a billion dollars away.

On paper, last week’s provincial budget projects a tiny $274-million surplus in a budget that forecasts spending at more than $58.3 billion.That surplus represents less one half of one per cent of total spending, so there does not look like there is much room for error.

Oh, but there is.

James has prudently built into the budget an unusually high contingency fund of $750 million. On top of that is a “forecast allowance” of $500 million. Add it to the surplus figure and it shows James has $1.5 billion of unallocated spending, ready to be used if disaster strikes.

Then there is the question attached to every provincial budget: are the revenue forecasts set deliberately lower than the dollars that are really expected to flow into the provincial treasury?

If revenues do indeed exceed the expectations set out in the budget, the surplus grows and grows throughout the year with the publication of quarterly financial reports.This makes whoever happens to be the finance minister look like a fiscal wizard.

For example, the 201819 budget underestimated personal and corporation income tax revenue by a whopping $2.5 billion.

Overall, revenues were $2.4 billion higher than originally forecast.

Some expenditures were higher than usual, but the

surplus (after accounting for the forecast allowance and a decision to deliberately spend some of the surplus at the end of the current fiscal year) still came in at more than $1 billion.The budget, when it was tabled last year, forecast a surplus of just $219 million.

This prudent rainy-day fund approach is not confined to just the next fiscal year. It is incorporated into the government’s threeyear fiscal plan, to the tune of $2.3 billion on top of the coming year’s $1.5 in unallocated spending.

Even with the risks every finance minister faces – such as wildfires – James has built enough fiscal resilience into her plan to weather pretty much any storm, at least in the short term.

She has also shown a willingness to do something that her BC Liberal predecessors failed to do – spend some of that budget surplus on people, instead of just applying it all to government debt.

She earmarked $375 million out of this year’s surplus (it has to be spent by March 31) and she plans to sprinkle most of it around various local governments, primarily for small infrastructure and research projects.

It is another reminder of a big reason why the BC Liberals lost the last election.

They ended that fiscal year with a surplus of $2 billion, yet did not spent a single extra cent on anyone as election day approached.

James is not going to make the same mistake.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Workers find litter of kittens Workers at Beaver Lumber at 5335 Kingsway got a surprise when they brought in a cardboard box of merchandise from the lumber yard in November. Along with the merchandise was a mother cat and two newborn kittens.

Employees at the store believed the mom had climbed into the box while it was outside and had her babies in it overnight. Beaver Lumber workers cared for the family of felines until they could be handed over the SPCA.The store contacted the NOW to spread the word so the cats’ owners could be found.

Benefits of the pipeline outweigh the risks

Editor: The voters of Burnaby voted for a change of mayor, hoping for a more “considered and intelligent approach” to the whole pipeline issue, but it would appear the same old rhetoric and “fanning of the flames” is still happening.

Shame on you.

This is not helpful and not really representative of many who live here in Burnaby, and if it continues will only lead to more demonstrations and city police costs (in the millions of dollars), civic strife and, ultimately, when the courts agree, the pipeline will get built anyway.

(People) can belittle the “benefits” of the project, estimated to be about $15 billion per year to Canada, from being able to sell Canadian oil to Asia, which in turn also lifts the value of all current oil exports to the U.S.A., who have got nearly all Canadian oil at a huge discount for decades, while eastern Canada still imports oil from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere at full cost.

This just doesn’t make sense.

This “new oil dividend” – the benefit of the pipeline – has to be valued for running our regional and national economy, understanding that, yes, there are risks involved with these increased exports. But as long as reasonable conditions of this oil movement and shipping are in place and properly monitored, then many of us say this project is an “acceptable risk.”

So stop resisting and inciting the radical environmental groups to cause more trouble, or make sure “those who oppose it” pay the costs of its

EAR WAX REMOVAL delay and policing and endless legal challenges, not regular city taxpayers.

SFU gondola risky, wouldn’t ease transit woes Editor: Re: SFU student lobbies mayors’ council over gondola, NOW, Feb. 21 The proponents of the cable car claim service time to and from SFU will be improved.

I suggest that total door-to-door trip times may be longer by cable car, especially for people commuting by bus from the northeast and northwest.

Proponents may be overlooking the five (or more) minute uphill walk from the remote upper cable car station to the centre of campus.

The proponents claim that operating costs will be reduced as bus operations are scaled back. I suggest that continuation of local community bus services both within the SFU campus and in the residential neighbourhoods at the foot of Burnaby Mountain will offset most of the alleged cost savings.

While bus service is curtailed on a few snow days annually, gondola operations might be curtailed on many more windy days.

Gondolas are as at risk of accidents and breakdowns as buses but don’t offer backup capability.

The true justification for this mode of transportation was revealed by the former mayor of Burnaby, who said that it would be a “spectacular tourist attraction.” Expect a viewing tower and revolving restaurant at the upper gondola station.

City now PIPELINE

NEB recommends approval for Trans Mountain Brent Richter

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is back on for potential cabinet approval following reconsideration by the National Energy Board.

Local First Nations, however, say their opposition remains steadfast.

The NEB released its reconsideration report last Friday, recommending the federal government approve the project.The original approval was quashed in the Federal Court of Appeal last August over inadequate consultation with First Nations, including the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, who launched legal challenges of the NEB’s approval.

Specifically, the process failed to take into account the impacts of marine shipping on the southern resident killer whale population, which have cultural significance to the Squamish and

Tsleil-Waututh, the court found.

In September, the federal cabinet ordered a 22-week review period to address the marine impacts raised in the court’s ruling before releasing a final report and recommendations no later than Feb. 22.

Following that review, which included more testimony from First Nations, the board acknowledged the project is likely to have “significant adverse environmental impacts” on the killer whales and the First Nations’ cultural use associated with them, that the greenhouse gas emissions from tankers would be significant and that, while a worst-case scenario spill was unlikely, it would have significant environmental impacts.

“While these effects weighed heavily in the NEB’s reconsideration of project-related marine shipping, the NEB recommends that the government

of Canada find that they can be justified in the circumstances in light of the considerable benefits of the project and measures to mitigate the effects,” said Robert Steedman, chief environmental officer for the NEB. Those benefits, the board concluded, are increased access to diverse markets for Canadian oil, jobs created across Canada, development opportunities for business, communities and First Nations, direct spending on pipeline materials in Canada and considerable revenues to various levels of government.

The board’s recommendation includes the original 156 conditions related to safe construction and operation of the pipeline, plus 16 new recommendations addressing the marine shipping concerns that fall outside the NEB’s mandate but that it is asking the federal government to enforce.

City now ‘It felt like another rigged process’: Tsleil-Waututh Continued from page 8 Among those recommendations:That the government implement a regional cumulative effects management plan for the Salish Sea, including targets to reduce underwater noise, strike/collision risk of vessels with marine species and key contaminant levels over time, create a marine bird monitoring and protection program, conduct a feasibility study for establishing a Southern Strait of Georgia National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, develop an offset program that addresses increased underwater noise and the increased strike risk posed for species at risk, and review and update federal marine shipping oil spill response requirements. All of those should be done in consultation with First Nations, the report recommends.

“The panel feels strongly that if these recommendations are implemented, they will offset the relatively minor effects of the projectrelated marine traffic and in fact will benefit the entire Salish Sea ecosystem,” Steedman said.

In a statement,TsleilWaututh Nation Chief Maureen Thomas said the NEB decision was “disappointing, but not at all surprising.”

“This recommendation

changes nothing about our opposition to the project.

We continue to deny our free, prior and informed consent,” she said in a release.

The NEB’s recommendation only considered marine impacts up to 12 nautical miles from the terminal and tankers, which excludes critical orca habitat,Thomas noted, and the rushed, 22-week timeframe wasn’t nearly long enough for the NEB’s consideration of the evidence to be meaningful.

“The NEB, unfortunately, repeated the same errors that previously landed them in court,” she said. “It felt like another rigged process with a pre-determined outcome from the start.”

The recommendations and conditions the NEB has put on the pipeline’s approval still do not address Tsleil-Waututh’s concerns raised in their own environmental assessment for the project “Our expert evidence confirmed what we found in our independent review from 2016: that oil spills are inevitable, cannot be cleaned up effectively, and will have catastrophic effect on the environment, and (Tsleil-Waututh) rights.”

The Squamish Nation responded to the NEB report shortly after it was released, saying the nation will con-

PARCEL TAX ROLL REVIEW PANEL PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the Burnaby Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel will meet on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 in the Council Chamber, Burnaby City Hall 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby BC at 6:00pm.

tinue to oppose the pipeline expansion because of its environmental risk, its incursion into Squamish Nation jurisdiction and its climate impacts.

“Our nation expects our territory and inlet to have the highest protections for our culture, local jobs and residents.The Trudeau government has been ignoring the scientific evidence (on) the marine impacts on orcas and refusing to do a climate review of this project.We are in a climate emergency, and we need to recognize the scale and scope of the emergency and respond accordingly,” said Khelsilem, Squamish Nation spokesperson, in a press statement.

Stewart Phillip, Grand Chief of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, said the second round of consultations ordered by the federal government was “fundamentally and horribly flawed.” He reiterated that he believed the pipeline doesn’t have the support of British Columbians.

Mayor unhappy with the NEB The City of Burnaby has weighed in on the National Energy Board’s reconsideration report on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

According to the city, the report was “met with concern and disappointment.”

“I am disappointed, but not surprised, by the NEB recommendation to proceed with tripling the flow of oil through the Trans Mountain pipeline,” said Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley in a news release.

“Despite the 16 new conditions the NEB imposes, risks to public safety and the environment remain unacceptably high.”

The mayor said he is “committed” to working to address those risks to protect the city and nearby land and waterways.

“I will work hard through whatever means is available to protect Burnaby residents from the risks imposed on our city by this project.”

The NEB requires that the pipeline project meet 16 “new” conditions, but the city says it is “not satisfied

that the conditions will prevent significant public safety risks and harms to marine life and other environmental impacts.”

Trans Mountain issued a statement about the project, saying that the environment will be protected.

“The NEB report released today is a step forward in the reconsideration process for the Trans Mountain expansion project. It provides specific and achievable conditions under which we must operate to ensure, if approved,

the project will protect the marine and terrestrial environment and communities.

This report is an important element of the broader process that remains underway, which includes the federal government’s consultation with Indigenous communities.We look forward to the successful conclusion of these consultations and the decision that will be provided on the project in the months ahead,” said Ian Anderson, president and CEO of Trans Mountain, in the statement.

owners who may or may not pass on the deferral benefit to the operators.”

Staff also noted the province could expand a 2018 change to assessment laws that allowed industrial properties to be taxed based on their current use rather than their future value based on an official community plan.

A similar change could keep taxes low for businesses in areas that have been designated by a city for new development, the report says.

The City of Burnaby has several tools at its disposal to ease the tax burden on businesses, “however it is important to understand that a municipality only collects enough property taxation required to deliver services to citizens and hence any option exercised results in a shift of the property tax burden among the available classes,” the report says.

In other words, lower taxes for businesses would mean higher taxes for homeowners.

Businesses are struggling to remain open under the burden of increasing property tax bills, Burnaby Board of Trade members recently told city council.

City staff have since brainstormed ideas to ease that burden while retaining the revenue needed to fund its operational budget and compiled those ideas into a report presented to council Monday.

Businesses bear 40 per cent of the tax burden in Burnaby, with 49 per cent falling to residential property owners and the rest shared by utilities, major industry, light industry and recreation.The tax rate for businesses is more than four times that of residential.

Currently, properties with both a business and residential portion are taxed entirely at the business rate.

Different parts of the property tax regime – and

potential changes to them – fall either to the province or the city.

The province could allow for “split classifications,” which would allow properties with both commercial and residential uses to be taxed at two different rates.

Taxing the residential portion at the lower residential rate could save owners money, Burnaby city staff wrote in a report to council.

The B.C. government could also allow businesses to defer their property taxes – an option currently available only to residential property owners – but such deferrals would not be available to many business owners.

“This could only be an option for business owners who are the registered owner of the property, and not a tenant on title,” city staff wrote. “Hence, business operators may not benefit from a deferral program as the benefit would be realized by registered property

Entertainment now MOVIES

And the Oscars vote goes to ... Jimmy Chow

Longtime Burnaby prop master had a chance to vote in this year’s Oscars Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It all started one long-ago Christmas Eve, when he took a shift at CBC studios in downtown Vancouver.

His job? Cleaning off the blackboard that was used for the weather forecasts.

Jimmy Chow had no inkling, then, of the direction the next 45 years would take. And he certainly couldn’t have imagined that, come 2019, he’d be sitting in the rec room of his Burnaby home, watching more movies than he could count so he could cast his votes for this year’s 91st Academy Awards.

Chow, who’s now mostly retired from a long career as a props master in the film industry, was recently named a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.The group has some 8,000-plus members in more than 60 countries around the globe. It’s made up of those who, as the Academy’s website says, have “demonstrated exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures.”

Chow was named a member after a production designer he’d known for years put his name for-

Star power: Yep, that’s Wolverine.

ward – and this year, he had a chance to vote in his first Oscars.

(No, Chow wasn’t allowed to say who he voted for – but he hinted he wouldn’t be unhappy if Green Book won Best Picture. It did.)

Chow cheerfully admits his long career in the film industry came about largely by accident.

“I was always trying to not be Chinese,” he says with a laugh.

(He moved to Canada with his family in 1950, when his parents were forced to leave China.) “My parents wanted me to be a doctor, or some sort of businessman with a degree.”

Chow, though, gravitated more to the arts, and he originally studied social work atVancouver Community College.When he decided he didn’t want to do a degree in social work, he found himself at a bit of a crossroads until a friend suggested he apply to the CBC. Which led to a phone call that fateful Christmas Eve, when Chow picked up one shift. He picked up another one a week later, on New Year’s Eve.That led to a part-time job and, eventually, to full-time work. His first major project? The Beachcombers.

“They just threw me in there,” laughs Chow. He worked as a set decorator, alongside another decorator and the art director.

“We did everything – cars, planes, explosions,” he says. “I spent three years there; that was school for me.”

He’s grateful for the experience he got there, and in subsequent work on a number of CBC TV shows, because it allowed him to learn on the job.

“If I didn’t have the CBC, the mistakes I made at the CBC, I wouldn’t have the career I have had,” he says.

Then Hollywood came calling. Chow got an offer to work as a prop master on a feature film in 1978, and he had to quit the CBC

to take it.

“I was just shaking. I had a mortgage,” he says, noting the risk in leaving steady full-time work was huge.

It paid off.

Chow’s first projects were the 1978 TV movieWho’ll Save Our Children? and that first major feature film, A Man, aWoman and a Bank, starring Donald Sutherland and Paul Mazursky. (Chow just might have a story about Sutherland, Mazursky and a whole bunch of bottles of Pouilly-Fuissé wine that were part of his prop department.)

Chow has basically been working full-time – and then some – ever since, running his own props company and finding work for himself and his team on movies that run the gamut from blockbusters and sci-fi to historical and art-house films.

Along the way, he’s picked up all kinds of knowledge. He’s attended autopsies and visited crematoriums to find out how ashes look when bodies are cremated. (Prop master’s secret for ashes? Ground kitty litter.) He’s figured out which realistic-looking substitutes to offer when scripts call for actors to snort cocaine, or smoke weed, or drink alcohol.

One of the banes of his existence? Beer.

“A beer thing is a big deal for us, because we have to cool the glass, chill it, pour it a certain way,” he says, noting the prop master has to maintain the look of the beer, with a consistent head, for as many takes as a film requires.

He recalls one scene in X-Men 2 where the beer level was different in different takes and they didn’t have time to reshoot; fortunately, he says, it could be fixed digitally.

In fact, Chow says, the advent of digital technology has changed a great deal about a prop master’s work.

Take weapons, for instance.

When Chow worked on the 1994 film Legends of the Fall, he spent a lot of time with knives. He had to have multiple versions of the same weapon: a sharp one, a dull one, a retractable one, a hard rubber one, a soft rubber one, one with a blood tube built in to slash right, one to slash left.

These days, it’s all digital.

“They hold a green stick now,” he says. “It really does change the whole world.”

Even after all these years, some of Chow’s favourite props are the simplest items, like watches and eyeglasses. He’s still tickled about the fact that he got to supply Clark Kent’s glasses for Man of Steel, Continued on page 13

Entertainmentnow ‘It’s not just two hours of popcorn’ Continued from page 11 Henry Cavill’s 2013 Superman movie.

Looking back on his career, Chow’s favourite memories revolve around those films that offer something more than just mindless entertainment – titles such as Snow Falling on Cedars, SevenYears in Tibet,The Shipping News, LittleWomen and Legends of the Fall.

“I like to think that my life is contributing to something that stimulates people’s thoughts; it’s not just two hours of popcorn,” he says.

Inevitably, he’s spent a great deal of his career in close contact with movie stars. (For the record, Brad Pitt is “a very nice guy.”)

He won’t tell tales out of school, but Chow admits that, in general, he’s found it easiest to relate to actors who’ve come into the movie industry from theatre.The most demanding? Those who were plucked from the world of modelling or those “whose light is fading,” as he diplomatically puts it.

And, no, working in a star-studded industry doesn’t mean a life of glamour.

“The reality of the industry is just hard, hard work,” he says. “It’s just really long hours and hard work. It’s been really tough, but it’s been really enlightening. A lot of times you get to do things you haven’t done.”

Inevitably, the job has meant a great deal of trav-

el – to places as diverse as Newfoundland, Argentina, England, France and Tahiti.

It’s given him the chance to experience things he’d never otherwise have been part of – like the local wedding luau he got invited to in Tahiti while on set for the true-crime film And The Sea Will Tell. Or that time he jetted off to New England to look for props for LittleWomen. He spent three weeks travelling from New York to Maine, calling on some 400 antique stores to search out just the right preCivil-War effects to bring the classic story to life.

Longest of all was the 10 months he spent away from home for SevenYears in Tibet, which took him to England, France and Argentina.

It hasn’t always been easy on his family, he says; he and his wife have raised three children, now adults

in their 30s, and Chow says his wife gave up a great deal to allow him to pursue his work.

“Certain shows I’ve chased, and my family’s allowed it,” he says.

He’s not sorry to have stepped away from feature film work – his last big project was Steven Spielberg’s 2016 film The BFG – but if any projects come up that give him a chance to support a cause he believes in (stopping pipelines or saving the fish come to mind), he’s open to the idea of using his talents in that direction.

Wherever life goes next, he’ll always love movies.

And he’ll always be happy he got a chance to help make them.

“I would just like to say I was part of something that made a difference,” he says with a smile.

The report determined

that the rent subsidies through the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program continue to grow beyond the rate of the target population.

There was a seven per cent increase in the number of SAFER recipients, with

22,956 seniors receiving the supplement and a 34 per cent increase in the aggregate amount paid for a total of $71 million in SAFER subsidies paid.

“The cost of housing is affecting seniors as the number deferring their

property taxes has grown exponentially,” Mackenzie said.

“In addition, SAFER data show that seniors who rent are having a more difficult time as more are claiming the SAFER grant and they are receiving a high-

We all knew that at some point the white-hot real estate market would slow, even decline. The latest data suggests the Metro Vancouver housing market will be mired in difficulties this year and perhaps even next. But there are clear strategies to not only survive the slump but benefit from it. Our expert panel will guide you on where the opportunities are, where they aren’t, and how your investment plan can make the most of the challenging times.

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity.

Our panel discussion investigates the issues.

AS WE AGE What did the seniors advocate find? Some report highlights Here are some findings from the B.C. Seniors Advocate’s recent report: ! There is a two per cent decrease in publicly subsidized registered assisted living units, but a seven per cent increase in privately funded registered assisted living units. ! Long-term care facilities saw a two per cent reduction in turnover, with an eight per cent reduction in new admissions. Despite this, three health authorities experienced a reduction in the median length of stay.

With 1,379 people awaiting placement, waitlists as of March 2018 were seven per cent longer than March 2017 but 23 per cent shorter than September 2016. ! The percentage of seniors

admitted to a care facility within 30 days rose to 71 per cent, a 16 per cent increase from the previous year. However, the rate varies between health authorities, from a low of 45 per cent (Island Health) to a high of 90 per cent (Vancouver Coastal). ! The increase in property offences against seniors continues to rise. While only a one per cent increase this year, for a total of 16,244 offences, there is a consistent and persistent trend that shows a 30 per cent overall increase in property offences against seniors in the last four years. ! The Seniors Abuse and Information Line saw a 12 per cent increase in the number of calls received but a slight decrease (two per cent) in

the number of calls related to elder abuse. ! The Public Guardian and Trustee saw fewer Committee of Estate orders with a five per cent decline this past year. ! First Link saw a 10 per cent increase this past year.

A program to support those with dementia and their family members First Link is delivered by the Alzheimer Society of BC and supports 15,922 active clients.

! Better at Home, a program delivered by the United Way of the Lower Mainland that addresses a number of the personal supports for seniors, saw a 15 per cent decrease in new clients.

More day programs needed very concerning,” Mackenzie said. “However the recent announcement by the provincial government for $75 million targeted to ADP and respite will hopefully have an impact.While these numbers do not reflect the increased funding they do speak to how desperately the funding increase was needed. ADP is often the lifeline for caregivers who are struggling to care for their loved one at home, and we need to make it more, not less accessible.”

Mackenzie said her office will continue to work with various ministries, governments and service providers to ensure efforts are continuing to try and improve the health and well-being of all seniors in B.C.

next year.”

Another concern was the continued decline in access to adult day programs (ADP).The report found there’s been a six per cent reduction in the number of ADP clients over the past two years, with 2.8 per cent in the last year alone, leaving a total of 5,895 ADP clients.

Coupled with a 17 per cent reduction in the number of ADP days in the last two years (a 3.8 per cent reduction in the last year, the Seniors Advocate states the remaining clients are receiving fewer days than in previous years.

According to Mackenzie, there has been a 23 per cent increase in the wait list for ADP. “The ADP numbers are

Continued from page 18 increase in the population over age 65 and a five per cent increase in those over 85. For those who did receive service, more hours were delivered as the total number of hours delivered remained about the same (less than one per cent increase) resulting in a two per cent increase in the average hours of care.

“The reduction in home support clients is puzzling, as we should be seeing these numbers increase,” Mackenzie said. “Recent announcements by the government on funding increases to home and community care are not reflected in these numbers as the effect of the increase has not yet materialized so hopefully we see this trend reversing

have Peter Parker’s sewing skills? Grab yourself a superhero T-shirt and join in the fun, Kolic suggested.

The annual one-day festival attracts about 50,000 people to Burnaby Heights.

The day kicks off with a parade down Hastings Street and includes music, street performers, kids’ activities, food, sweet treats and a show-and-shine, according to the release.

Business owners will also be out and about thanking customers and the commu-

nity for their support.

Any non-profit groups wanting to participate in the parade can apply now.

Applications for the nonprofit community zone are also being accepted at this time.The deadline to apply is April 6. Go to hatsoffday. com for details.

This year’s festival is taking place on Saturday, June 1 on Hastings Street, between Boundary Road and Gamma Avenue. It’s free.

EXCLUSIVE BURNABY NOW SUBSCRIPTION CLUB

Annie Boulanger

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Lyric Opera spring production of Donizetti’s comic L’elisir d’amore once again brings us a first-class show, with great voices, actors, costumes and setting.

The voices of the principals and the chorus are so good, the piano accompaniment of Angus Kellet (accompanist, conductor and music director) so expertly underlining the singing, that the resulting sound is full and satisfying.

Kallie Clayton, soprano, as Adina, and Sergio Augusto, tenor, as Nemorino, are warm and lively in their portrayals of the flirtatious young heiress and her lovelorn and fumbling suitor.

Clayton has a bright, clear, flexible soprano, and Augusto does a beautiful Una furtiva lagrima (A furtive tear).

Aaron Durand, baritone, struts the stage, and he sings and acts excellently as the vain and self-important Sergeant Belcore, sure that he is irresistible to all women.

Entertainment now Blues Fest lineup announced Feist, Lord Huron, Dan Mangan all set to play Deer Lake Aug. 10 No less than three JUNO award-winning artists will be onstage at Deer Lake Park for the next Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

The festival has just announced the lineup for the 20th edition of the popular summer festival, coming Saturday, Aug. 10 to Deer Lake Park.

Leading the way is multiple-JUNO-Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Feist, whose fourth full-length album, Pleasure, brings into play her punk roots and folk sensibilities. Feist’s music has sold more than three million units around the world and has amassed more than 500 million streams. Among her many nominations and awards – including four Grammy nominations – Feist also boasts the secondmost-watched video in Sesame Street history (1,2,3,4, if you wondered).

She’s joined by fellow Canadian and JUNO winner Dan Mangan, the Vancou-

a.k.a. the husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter – will light up the stage with the Southern soul sounds that characterize their 2018 full-length album Healing Tide.

Also bringing star power to the stage will be Lord Huron, the American indie folk-rockers led by Los Angeles-based Ben Schneider, whose 2018 album Vide Noir has earned international acclaim.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 1 at 10 a.m.

See www.burnabyblues festival.com or follow @burnabyblues on Twitter for all the latest news.

ver-based singer-songwriter whose fifth full-length album More or Less – featuring the singles Troubled Mind, Fool forWaiting and Just Fear – has been earning him acclaim from critics and fans alike.

The Canadian contingent is filled out by William Prince, a JUNO Awardwinning singer-songwriter raised on the Peguis First

Nation in Manitoba. His album Earthly Days, led by the debut single Breathless, was released worldwide by Glassnote Records in 2018.

Bringing their soulsteeped sounds to the stage will be Southern Avenue, a young Memphis quintet that embodies that city’s soul, blues and gospel traditions.

Artsnow Classic novel comes to the stage in Burnaby Burnaby Central Secondary presents To Kill a Mockingbird, onstage March 6 to 8 at the school Burnaby Central Secondary is getting ready to stage a classic story.

The school’s theatre company is presenting the stage adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, March 6 to 8 at the school.

Harper Lee’s 1960 novel, set in 1935 in the racially intolerant, rural South, is told through the eyes of a young girl named Scout, whose father, Atticus Finch – a lawyer who defends a black client – teaches her to fight intolerance and racism.

The message Atticus sends to his children – “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” – still resonates in today’s world, for teacher Carol Mann.

“Theatre has both the ability to entertain and the responsibility to provoke thought,” said Mann, who produces and directs the show, in a press release. “I couldn’t be more proud of this cast and crew for working so hard and bringing to life such a beautiful, mature and relevant story.”

To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.

It was voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the U.S., and this past fall it won PBS’s Best-Loved Novel contest, receiving more than 4.2 million votes.

Communitynow Cherry blossom art comes to Metropolis It might be tough to think about cherry blossoms when there’s still snow on the ground, but a new art installation in Burnaby will do its best to make you forget about winter.

From March 5 to 31, Metropolis at Metrotown’s Grand Court will be the site of Blossom at Metropolis, a one-of-a-kind art installation made up of more than 250,000 cherry blossoms.

Created by Vancouver interactive-arts company Hfour, Blossom at Me-

tropolis encourages people to wander, take photos (including in an Instagramworthy “selfie zone”), and sit in awe of the quarter-million-plus blossoms, which will be reflected in dozens of mirror spheres (with the largest being four metres in size) that create the illusion of infinite blooms hanging above them.

As well, there will be a variety of floral art and Japanese cultural workshops every Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday during the

installation’s 27 days, presented in collaboration with MUJI (Workshop Wednesdays) and Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

Workshops include origami, brush lettering, traditional Japanese paper and fabric art, flower arranging, traditional Japanese folk dancing, and much more.

Visit metropolisatmetro town.com for the complete schedule, registration information, and age restric-

tions (some workshops are all-ages).

Visitors will also have the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a $1,000 shopping spree.

In addition, by sharing videos and photos of their visit on Instagram using #METBlossom and @metropolisatmet, visitors can also enter for a chance to win a weekly Blossom prize package or a $500 Metropolis at Metrotown gift card.

Burnaby wrestler finishes high school career with third gold and fifth medal

finish for jr. Rebels

STM’s Silveri shines in mat finale Perfect Dan Olson

Burnaby South ends season as B.C. champs

dolson@burnabynow.com

Amanda Silveri has been here before. But as much as it is about being No. 1, the glow of confidence that has become a larger part of her game is making this whole provincial champion thing all new again.

The 17-year-old St.Thomas More wrestler has tasted success before – at four previous B.C. high school wrestling championships, she has emerged the victor twice.The other two times, Silveri returned home with silver.

Every year she’s grappled, the Burnaby teen has taken it to the B.C. final and emerged with a medal.

That’s a pretty rare achievement, having started the sport in Grade 8 as well as her current medal streak.

What makes this one – as a graduating student – so different is how quickly it came, and how she has translated the support and help of others into a stronger belief in herself.

“I started smiling. It all just hit me – I was so proud of myself and how far I’ve come because five years ago if you’d have asked me, I’d never have seen myself where I was the other day,” she said of last week’s win over Emily Reid of Chemainus in the 110-kilogram final in Langley.

It was her third straight provincial gold – but winning never gets old. Not when you dedicate so much time, and feel the encouragement of others as you work towards a goal.

As a five-time finalist, the opportunity to compete one last time for her school and with a team that has backed her through various battles, was one she embraced to its fullest.

“I felt like I was really prepared because I had such amazing training partners, and my coaches really pushed me because they knew what I was capable of achieving,” she said.

Teammates Sam Steele and Gabriella Bellini also returned home with medals – Steele won the boys 110kg final, while Bellini finished third in the girls 64kg division.

Silveri credits her Knights coaches, led by Max Arcand, for keeping her focused, as well as past Knights coach Doug Corbett, who is also a coach at her Pacific Rim club, for having faith in her abilities.

That faith is something she knew had to also come from within. But, like a lot of teenagers, hearing it from others was just part of the picture for Silveri. She had to believe, too.

“Coach Corbett was such a good mentor, and he saw a lot of potential in me for those (first) three years.The new coach (since 2017), Max Arcand, really stepped up and continued to push me as he saw a lot of potential in me. He worked really well and tried especially hard to keep the team going and as successful as it had been.”

It worked.

Her final was judiciously swift, where Silveri countered her opponent’s technical moves with decisive counter attacks.The clock didn’t reach half a minute before the referee raised her hand.

“After they blew the whistle, the first thing I thought of was ‘underhooks, underhooks.

Keep reaching in (and) grab tight,’” she recalled. “We were moving around quite a bit, (Reid) went for the throw, which I saw coming, so I stepped in front of her and used my

strength to catch her off guard. All of a sudden we were on the ground and I could hear my coaches yelling from the corner.”

She put her opponent in a quick pin, then heard the referee’s whistle.

“I was like, ‘Oh wow, I just won.’ It was all a blur after that. It was a great feeling.”

In wrestling, the fierce few minutes on the mat are outnumbered exponentially by the hours in training.Techniques and strategies, followed by fitness. It’s the mental approach, often steeled through a course of tough wins

and hard-to-swallow defeats, that creates a winning balance.

Silveri is feeling more and more comfortable in her abilities, and it couldn’t come at a better time.

At last year’s nationals, the STM athlete worked herself down a few pounds to fit in a lower weight class and ran a gauntlet of opponents before getting knocked out just before the medal round.

Johal, Steele grab B.C. gold

It was a banner day for Burnaby athletes last week at the B.C. high school wrestling championships took the floor in Langley.

Senior Sam Steele led a strong St.Thomas More team, which collected its share of medals at the twoday event.

Steele defeated Delview’s Chiragpreet Mattu in the

110-kilogram final for his gold. Also securing gold were Amanda Silveri (see above story) and Burnaby Central’s Tanisha Johal, who toppled Lillooet’s Lakiesha Jacob for the top award in girls 40kg.

Picking up silver medals were Burnaby North’s Gina Bolognese, whose only loss came in her 43kg final to Notre Dame’s Toni Me-

deiros, Burnaby Mountain’s Marley Jackson, who finished second to South Island’s Kiana Shaw in 51kg, and STM’s Clare Scagione, runner-up to Maple Ridge’s Marquesis Haintz in 54kg.

On the boys side, Burnaby Central’s Dylan Duggan grabbed silver in his showdown against Surrey Academy’s Owen Martin.

Living it a second time, Burnaby South junior boys basketball coach Tyus Batiste said there’s no comparison – coaching it topped playing it.

Celebrating a perfect season with Wednesday’s 66-37 triumph over the R.A. McMath Wildcats in the B.C. junior boys basketball final, Batiste said the win was better than he imagined.

“This is by far better than winning it as a player (in 2013), because I’ve now won it as a player and a coach.This is way, way more fun.”

Batiste said an undefeated run through the season seemed possible after they beat McMath in the Vancouver and District finals two weeks ago.

“When we got through McMath the first time I knew they we were a very, very good team and had a chance.

They stuck with the same thing and they were good at it,” he noted.

Burnaby South corralled an early 15-4 lead, showing few nerves considering the stage and prize on the line.

The Richmond school struggled with its shooting early, missing three inclose jumpshots and an easy layup at the end of the first quarter.

The Rebels continued their sharpshooting ways, racking up six threepointers over the first 16 minutes to take a 34-21 advantage into halftime.

But McMath, which won its semifinal showdown against No. 2 Vancouver College in overtime, flashed to life to start the second half.They began an 8-0 roll to pull within five points before Burnaby South regained its edge.

The Rebels countered with a 16-2 run to close out the frame and entered the fourth quarter ahead 50-32.

“As a team we knew we were coming in as the No. 1 seed,” remarked team captain and tourney MVP Jareb Pineda. “We just wanted to come in and play this team hard.We wanted to stay humble, show our game and play them once again.We did our job.”

The team’s two Grade 9s – six-footfive post Karan Aujla, and guard Jimmy Zaborniak – continued as major contributors, with Zaborniak tallying 17 points, including three from outside the arc, and Aujla tipping in 13.

“We weren’t down much this season, I won’t lie. Our kids were a little shook (by Panorama in the tournament’s second game) but again, I (told them) to stick to what I taught you, stick with what got you here and we’ll be OK. I’m very, very proud of my young kids.”

Earning all-star team honours were Aujla, on the first team, and Zaborniak, who was named to the second team.

Singh cans Grandview aims to grind down Wolf Pack clutch trey Upsetting Richmond leads Steelers into best-of-seven showdown with No. 1 NorthVan in SFU win JUNIOR HOCKEY

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

What was key in their first series win will naturally be magnified in the next one.

The Grandview Steelers will use a similar scheme against the North Van Wolf Pack that helped them take down the Richmond Sockeyes, a series that ended last Thursday with a tightly played 3-1 victory in Richmond.

Limiting the Wolf Pack to three goals a game or less is the goal heading into the Pacific Junior B Hockey League’s semifinal series, which is expected to start Saturday (no schedule had been released by NOW deadline time),

with Game 2 possibly on Sunday.

“They have some similiarities to Richmond in that they are fast skating, they have a very good powerplay, but they’re younger,” said Grandview coach Stevan Matic. “We’re a little bit older and we have to be hungrier and disciplined.”

North Van, which dispatched Ridge Meadows in five games after posting the league’s best record during the regular season, has the most potent powerplay at a near 30 per cent success rate.

The Pack also had the best offensive and defensive numbers overall and in head-to-head play took three of four games.

“I’m sure both teams will be

aggressive; you have to be in the playoffs,” said Matic. “But we need to do it and keep them off the powerplay.”

Getting past the higher-seeded Sockeyes 4-1 wasn’t the surprise for Matic. It was beating them three times at Minoru Arena.

“We were ready for a sevengame series and they had a very good home-ice record,” said Matic of Richmond. “The big difference was that we got exceptional goaltending when we needed it, and our powerplay scored some crucial goals.”

Timely goals, too. Ethan Reilly’s powerplay marker in the decisive win came with just four seconds remaining in the second period. It

also stood up as the winner.

“It was a bounce-back goal as Richmond had scored to tie it on the powerplay just a few minutes earlier,” explained Matic. “It was a great effort by Reilly to get into the dirty area, get the rebound off (the goalie’s) pad and slide it in.”

Tomislav Zlomislic counted the team’s other two goals.

Netminder Cale Dolan was named the game’s first star, turning aside 45 shots. “(Richmond) definitely put pucks on the net, and although not all of them were hard ones, (Dolan) made some big saves, including a huge one with four minutes left off (Richmond’s Isaac Embree),” said Matic.

Burnaby grappler takes it one win at a time

Continued from page 33 I’m glad things turned out the way they did because this year I had to train and prepare that much more and it motivated me to do so. … Every tournament, every match I have I can always take something from it, win or lose.”

She also credits her parents, who didn’t flinch when she came home one day as a

Grade 8 asking if she could give wrestling a try.

With a national gold medal in 2017 and three B.C. golds to her record, Silveri is looking towards the future, possibly continuing her studies and wrestling on Burnaby Mountain. Although still in the recruitment process, she likes the atmosphere at SFU, which has trained national champions and Olympians.

“Wrestling is probably one of my biggest passions in life. My coaches always told me that once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.

“Honestly it’s so true. It’s developed me so much as a person, because I used to be really shy but now I feel more confident. I love the adrenalin and the thrill of the sport,” she said.

Jasdeep Singh’s 31 points look pretty terrific – but his final two buckets stand out even better.

The Simon Fraser University forward drained a pair of late threepoint shots Tuesday to lift the Clan past Western Washington 76-73.

Besides a career-high in points, the sophomore kept SFU’s playoff hopes – a first-ever Great Northwest Athletic Conference playoff berth – within reach, with two regular season games to play.

The first trey, with 2:01 left on the clock, knotted the game 68-68.

Teammate Othniel Spence canned his own trey to put them ahead 7168, and while Western Washington inched closer on a pair of free throws, Singh put a dagger into any comeback plan with a three-point shot with 28 seconds remaining.

The win puts the Burnaby Mountain team’s conference record at 9-9 with two home games (including tonight, 7 p.m. against Concordia, and Saturday vs.Western Oregon) remaining. If they win both games, SFU will qualify for the GNAC championships for the first time in program history.

Metro Vancouver home sales to rebound over next two years: BCREA Home sales in Greater Vancouver, having seen the province’s biggest home sales decline last year, will bounce back the furthest over the next two years, according to a forecast released February 25 by the B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA).

The association predicted that residential sales in the region would rise 5.8 per cent in 2019 and 13.2 per cent in 2020.

BCREA said that the mortgage stress test introduced January 2018 has dampened the market, but that buyers were getting accustomed to it and its effects would be gradually outweighed by rising demand.

The report said, “Modest improvement in consumer demand is expected to unfold over the next two years as households further adjust to the mortgage stress test.”

However, as has been evident over the past couple of years, price trends can lag those of sales activity. Greater Vancouver home prices are expected to slide by 2.7 per cent this year, and only recover by one per cent

in 2020, said the BCREA. The association predicted residential sales across the province would rise two per cent to 80,000 units this year. This follows a slow 2018 in which 78,345 homes traded hands on B.C.’s MLS®, which was 24.9 per cent lower than in 2017.

BCREA also predicted provincial home sales to increase a further 6.9 per cent to 85,500 units in 2020. This would be a very normal level of activity, as the 10-year average for home sales in the province is 85,800 units.

Little upward pressure on prices BCREA said that the slow market has seen a rise in the number of homes available for sale, which will keep prices across B.C. flat this year, although they are expected to increase more in 2020.

The report said, “Market conditions are expected to provide little upward pressure on home prices this year, with the [provincial] average annual residential price

Connecting agents to the community

forecast to remain essentially unchanged, albeit up 0.5 per cent to $716,100.”

Cameron Muir, BCREA chief economist, said, “The negative shock to affordability and purchasing power created by the B20 stress test on mortgage borrowers is expected to continue constraining housing demand in the province this year.”

However, he added, “Favourable demographics along with continuing strong performance of the BC economy is expected to underpin housing demand over the next two years.”

Elsewhere in the province, Victoria and Vancouver Island are predicted to see lower home sales in 2019 and 2020 than in 2018, but prices are forecast to edge slightly upwards.

The province’s hottest real estate market, BC Northern, is expected to continue its steady sales growth and see home prices spike more than 10 per cent this year.
