Officers climb tree to arrest protester Kelvin Gawley

A 71-year-old grandfather was arrested after climbing a tree at Trans Mountain’s Westridge Marine Terminal on Monday to protest the proposed project expansion.

Terry Christenson’s skyhigh protest came to an end the next day after members of the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team scaled the tree to bring him into custody. He was kept in custody overnight and appeared in court Wednesday morn-

ing, facing criminal contempt of court charges for allegedly violating the court injunction meant to prevent interference with work on the pipeline, according to a Burnaby RCMP spokesperson.

“I’m doing it for the grandkids of the world,” Christenson told the NOW by phone while still in his perch – some 30 metres in the sky. “My grandkids are going to be much more impacted than me as young adults, and I feel it’s my duty to help protect future generations from climate

change.”

This was not Christenson’s first time scaling a tree near a Trans Mountain facility. In March 2018, he climbed one near the Burnaby Mountain tank farm in a similar protest.

Christenson said he was going to remove a guard installed on the tree by Trans Mountain to prevent eagles from nesting. He also placed a piece of salmon to welcome the birds. If eagles nest in the tree, the pipeline company won’t be able to cut it down, he explained.

Christenson, a Juno-

nominated country singer and professional climber, said he considers his action successful, as he has brought attention to issue through some 45 media interviews over two days.

He said he wouldn’t be surprised if he’s also charged with mischief.

“I didn’t climb the fence, I cut through it, so there will be charges there,” he said.

The protester said he wants to see Canada shift away from burning fossil fuels for energy.

He said he’s grateful for

the polymer ropes made from oil that are keeping him safe in the tree. He wants Canada to lead the world in creating polymer products, rather than exporting oil as fuel.

His methods may be unconventional, but Christenson said he felt safe and was relying on his experience as a professional climber.

“Crazy? Well, I have been called that a bit, I guess, but my intentions are good.”

A Trans Mountain spokesperson said the company has worked with various government agencies

to develop a plan to protect birds on its site. B.C.’s forestry ministry issued a permit to install the nesting deterrent, the company said.

“A nesting deterrent (metal cone) was placed in the previously used nesting tree outside the migratory bird nesting window.The eagles were away on annual migration and the nest site was not in use when the deterrent was installed in the tree.Trans Mountain has no intention of removing the tree, and the cone will be removed after construction.”

Citynow DEVELOPMENT

Residents try to stop sale of city property

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A group of Burnaby residents tried to convince city council at a public hearing Tuesday night to halt a land sale and rezoning that would make way for a new 101-unit housing development.

The reasons for their opposition are “multifold,” said former Burnaby Green Party council candidate Joel Gibbs.

Polygon plans to build a four-storey, 58-unit condo building and 43 townhomes at the corner of Southridge Drive and Byrnepark Drive.

The City of Burnaby owns the wooded lot, which would be sold to Polygon once its rezoning has been finalized.

But if Gibbs and his allies have their way, the land will remain public.

“Basically, what it comes down to is, if we’re going to sell public land, then we should get huge public benefits out of that,” he said, “and, in this case, in the middle of a housing crisis, in the middle of a climate

The city – which had $1.7 billion in its investment reserves by the end of 2018

– has no need for the cash from the sale, Gibbs said.

He said Burnaby should instead retain control of the lot and either leave it wood-

ed or partner with a nonprofit to build affordable housing.

Gibbs also said the proposal will contribute to cli-

mate change in two major ways: destroying CO2-absorbing trees and encouraging driving.

“Why are we destroying a

carbon sink for private profit?” he asked.

Polygon will build 228 parking stalls both above and below ground for the apartment building and townhomes.That’s far too many, according to Gibbs.

He said those parking spots will encourage car use despite the fact the area is well served by buses and the Edmonds SkyTrain Station a short walk way.

Asked whether he thought the public could sway council ahead of its upcoming vote, Gibbs said “I have no idea.”

“There is a chance, and I would like to see things done differently,” he said.

At a March council meeting, Coun. Joe Keithley, the only Green Party member elected to council, tried to send the proposal back to staff, but his motion was not seconded.

Keithley had wanted staff “to see if some accommodation can be made with the developer to include some non-market housing.”

TECHNOLOGY

Engineer wants to build homes using a 3D printer Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A B.C.-based engineer says he has invented the future of housing construction.

Paul Tinari, a civil and mechanical engineer, says his 3D printer will soon be building homes in B.C. and around the world.

A concrete-pouring nozzle suspended in a metal box is controlled by cables attached to four towers.The cables move independently to position the printer as it pours concrete walls, layer by layer.

The whole system is controlled by software that tells the printer how to actualize blueprints.

The inventor claims his device can build a 2,700-square-foot home in 24 to 48 hours.There is carbon fibre “woven” into the concrete, supplanting the need for rebar.

And the dead air left inside the walls makes for superior resistance to heat loss, he said.

Tinari is not the only in-

ventor to create a concretepouring 3D printer, but he says his approach is better than the rest. His competitors use either robotic arms or trusses – both are heavier, bulkier and more expensive,Tinari says.

Tinari says his invention’s cables allow him to position the towers far apart.

“The beauty about this is that it can build a house of any size,” he said at a demonstration of the 3D printer in Burnaby on Thursday.

Tinari said his technology could build livable homes today, but he needs to subject it to testing and building code legislation needs to change.

“But that takes time, and there’s people who need housing right now,” he said.

“The technology is moving much faster than the bureaucracy can keep up.”

Tinari said he hopes to soon build homes on a First Nations reserve on Vancouver Island, where provincial and federal building codes don’t apply. He also says his invention would be perfect for rebuilding communities

Pointing to the future: B.C.-based engineer Paul Tinari points to his 3D printer at an open house in Burnaby on April 25. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

hit by natural disasters, including parts of California ravaged by wildfires.

He also expects labour groups to fight legislation that would allow 3D-printed homes in Canada “be-

cause the number of jobs it eliminates is so massive.”

But, he said, the automation of home-construction is inevitable, and former construction workers will be able to find new, better jobs,

including computer programming and the maintenance and building of 3D printers.

“When horses were replaced by automobiles, thousands and thousands

of people lost their jobs, but they were replaced by other jobs that were more interesting in the automobile industry,” he said.

City now Impact of earthquake on tank farm questioned Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Trans Mountain is defending its emergency preparedness after a politician, engineer, activist and geologist stood outside its Burnaby Mountain tank farm to accuse the pipeline company of potentially endangering thousands of lives in the event of a major earthquake.

Burnaby North-Seymour federal NDP candidate Svend Robinson held a press conference Tuesday alongside Simon Fraser University geology professor John Clague, structural engineer Gordon Dunnet and anti-pipeline activist Karl Perrin.

Dunnet said existing Trans Mountain tanks could fail to hold their contents during an earthquake.

While the company has published a report detailing how the tanks walls would withstand the ground-shaking forces during a quake, it does not take into account the force of sloshing oil within the tank.

The six tanks in question were built in 1953 and have

moveable roofs that float on top of the oil.They were built to outdated standards without considerations made for lateral pressure from seismic or wind forces, Dunnet said.

While many people have raised concerns about the risks associated with the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline – which would add 14 new tanks to the Burnaby Mountain site – Dunnet said the existing infrastructure already poses a serious safety concern to the 30,000 people who live within two kilometres of the tank farm.

“The serious risk is right now,” he said.

In an emailed statement, a Trans Mountain spokesperson touted the company’s safety record.

“In 65 years of operation, we’ve never had a storage tank fire or structural incident with one of our tanks.

Although tank fires and seismic tank incidents worldwide are extremely rare, our prevention and emergency management programs are an integral part of keeping our terminals operat-

ing safely,” the spokesperson wrote.

Trans Mountain – now a Crown corporation after the federal government purchased the existing infrastructure and expansion project from Kinder Morgan – has emergency response technicians, 24/7 monitoring for fires and a sprinkler system, according to its spokesperson.

The company filed a report to the National Energy Board, detailing its risk assessment undertakings, according to the spokesper-

Your Mom & Dad worked hard all their lives. Now help them enjoy it.

son.

“The report identifies how the probabilities and consequences from tank failures during seismic

events are quantified and combined mathematically to establish individual risk contours around Burnaby Terminal, and to assess the adequacy of secondary containment,” the spokesperson wrote.

But Dunnet said that report “represents nothing structural.”

“In no way did they analyze these tanks for failure,” he said. “There’s nothing there.”

Clague said a major earthquake with an epicentre near Vancouver is unlikely.

“It’s maybe, arguably, a low-probability event, but the vulnerability, the consequences are enormous,” he said. “So the risk is just off-

scale.”

The geologist underlined the risk the “sloshing” effect could have on the tanks.

“Earthquakes are notorious for producing sloshing of the contents of the tanks ... the material begins to slosh almost uncontrollably inside the tank.”That movement exerts an independent force on the tanks “that can cause them to fail if they haven’t been properly designed,” he said.

Robinson used the press conference to call for an independent analysis of the six 1953-built tanks. He said he has major concerns about the risk of fire and spillover during an earthquake that would threaten residents in the area.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Have the BCA flip-flopped on their housing flip-flop?

An unfortunate thing happened at a Burnaby council meeting on March 25.

Coun. Joe Keithley, the only Burnaby Green Party member on council, introduced a motion to send a condo and townhome development back to staff “to see if some accommodation can be made with the developer to include some nonmarket housing.”

Polygon plans to build a four-storey, 58-unit condo building and 43 townhomes at the corner of Southridge Drive and Byrnepark Drive.

The property is currently a forest of trees.

The City of Burnaby owns the lot, which will be sold to Polygon once its rezoning has been finalized.

City council was set to vote on whether to send the proposal to first reading and a subsequent public hearing before Keithley attempted to intervene.

But his motion was not seconded by any of his council colleagues, meaning it was not discussed or put up for a vote.

“I suppose I probably took the other councillors

by surprise ... as I was met with stone silence,” Keithley later told the NOW. Keithley was trying to reflect the needs of a community crying out for more affordable housing, and the rest of council couldn’t even stomach debating the issue, so they let his motion die.

Coun. Paul McDonell, who was among those who opted not to second Keithley’s motion, said it came too late in the process, and delaying the project would have been unfair to Polygon.

Unfair to Polygon, which,

by sheer coincidence, has been a major contributor to McDonell’s Burnaby Citizens Association for many years with thousands of dollars in donations.

This project is a leftover from the previous BCA council, which has been accused of being in the pocket of big developers.

The BCA should have demanded non-market housing at the very least when this deal was first put together.

At least having non-market rentals included would make cutting down a forest

a little more palatable.

As for Keithley’s motion being late in the process, we take you back to June 2018 – just months before the civic election.

It was at that time that the BCA-dominated council dramatically pulled two rezoning proposals – a 34-storey high-rise on Barker Avenue and a 24-storey building on Marlborough Avenue – from the docket of a public hearing less than 24 hours before they were set to go up for discussion.

The BCA made a big show of telling city staff to

ask the developers to explore the possibility of including non-market rental units as part of their plans.

The move was supposed to reflect a come-to-Jesus moment in which the BCA had a housing plan.

Suddenly, they were telling developers to do more.

Of course, now that the election is over, BCA councillors don’t want to hurt Polygon’s feelings by doing anything so late in the process.

The hypocrisy is piled up so high you need stilts to wade through it.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan swallowed up by populist politics The surge in gas prices has brought into view the difficult task of reconciling effective climate action policies with populist politics.

The BC NDP’s clean energy plan is designed to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. A key assumption inherent in the plan is that more people will switch to zero-emission vehicles.

The problem, politically, is that kind of mass change will take years to evolve to the point of effectiveness. In the meantime, residents of MetroVancouver are faced with a new reality of how expensive it is going to be to fill up their vehicles.

As the prices began to climb a few weeks ago, we witnessed the odd spectacle of watching the champion of the climate action plan – Premier John Horgan – vowing to do whatever he could to keep gas prices lower. In other words, heaven forbid that high prices discourage people from driving and help to reduce emissions.

I have some sympathy for Horgan on this point. His party was elected largely on the promise of making life more affordable.

It sounds reasonable for the premier to express concern about the rising cost of driving, but a true effort to fight climate change means aggressively targeting drivers to get out of their cars.

Horgan and his government can’t have it both ways.The fact they seem to be struggling with this issue appears to be borne out by the premier’s constantly changing position on how those rising gas prices can

be contained.

Horgan hinted at some sort of tax relief (the B.C. government is responsible for 35 cents of various taxes per litre of gas) but he quickly backpedalled.Then he suggested another refinery needed to be built, perhaps in B.C., and then he shifted to saying Alberta should build more refineries.

The refinery idea appears to be a non-starter.

They are enormously expensive (there is a $22 billion one “planned” for the Kitimat area, but there is no evidence it has any financial backing) and take years to build.

And, once again, it seems odd that a government interested in fighting climate change is advocating building another gas refinery to refine more fossil fuels.

Ironically, the one thing that may bring the quickest relief at the pump is twinning the Trans Mountain pipeline.That is because bitumen – which is not for gasoline – takes up 20 per cent capacity in the current pipeline.

Moving that bitumen to the second pipeline would potentially add at least 20-per-cent more volume to move refined fuel, thus increasing the supply and cutting prices by about 20 cents (according to some estimates).

I don’t think we’ll hear the NDP advocate this approach. Better to stick with the illusion that lowering gas prices is consistent with fighting climate change.

Opinion now Trans Mountain makes no financial sense

Editor: If you or I buy a used car, we will simply write a cheque and maybe get a loan for part of the amount. Did the government do something so simple when it bought the Trans Mountain pipeline? No. In the words of an April report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, “The government of Canada has structured the acquisition of the Trans Mountain pipeline, its planned expansion and ongoing operation in a way rendering it impossible to determine how much taxpayers are paying now and will pay in the future.” The report issued this month calls for transparency. Not only do we need to know – after all, it is our pipeline – but without such clarity it will be difficult to sell it.

My suspicion, on the basis of some evidence, is that the purchase of the pipeline does not make sense financially. The complex web the government has designed might well be to cover this up.

What we need is a complete and transparent accounting.

David Huntley, Burnaby

Use city land to add more affordable housing Editor: The city is rezoning/selling a piece of public land just south of Edmonds SkyTrain station at 6438 Byrnepark Dr. This proposed four-storey condo apartment building, and some townhouses, will have a total

of 101 luxury strata condo units. These units are being built for families who own multiple cars, thus adding to Burnaby’s transportation nightmare. The city is selling this public land to Polygon for development.

This property was put up for sale in 2017 and, according to the report by city staff, “The sale of the property is subject to achieving final adoption of the subject rezoning,” which means Burnabyites can have a say before this land is sold. The city does not need the money. Remember, we have more than $1 billion in the bank, a staggering amount. We need to spend this money on the citizens, not make more.

This is a beautiful piece of property that is being sold. I have ridden my bike in this area many times. The land is currently second-growth forest, just across the street from Byrne Creek Ravine Park. But there is zero rental, non-market, or affordable housing for this project, yet we are in the midst of a housing affordability and rental crisis.

City land should be a valuable tool to be part of the solution to this crisis, yet here is city property being sold for more unneeded luxury condos when we need more rental, co-op, non-market and other affordable housing instead.

When will the City of Burnaby say no to unnecessary “luxury” townhouses/towers and provide affordable homes for everyone who needs one?

Those making nominal wages and living on small pensions cannot afford these unaffordable prices. If we cannot provide homes for these individuals now, we all pay more in the longer run for higher social and medical services that could have been avoided.

The Stage 1 regulations are being activated as part of Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Conservation Plan. Residents can water their lawn two mornings per week, while watering trees, shrubs and flowers is limited to mornings only when using a sprinkler.

“Lawn watering regulations have resulted in significant reductions in peak summer water demand, and we encourage people to continue respecting these seasonal regulations, especially as we experience hotter and drier summers,” said Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s water committee.

STAGE 1 RESIDENTIAL LAWN WATERING ALLOWED: ! Even-numbered addresses:Wednesday and Saturday

NEMATODES

Nematodes are microscopic round worms that infect and kill chafer grubs, making them an effective and natural way to help manage chafer beetles. Though nematodes are not a preventative measure, they help control the spread of chafer beetles and are most effective when applied in late July.

BURNABY RESIDENTS RECEIVE 50% OFF NEMATODES To help you save money and protect your lawn, get 50% off the purchase price ($89.99 + taxes) of nematodes. This subsidized offer is for Burnaby residents only. Burnaby residents receive 50% off the product and pay the remaining cost of the product plus all taxes (taxes based on pre-subsidy cost).

Burnaby/New Westminster ranked number 4 on a list of the top seven growth in annual bus boardings,

with a 5.5-per-cent jump from 2017 to 2018.

KEY FINDINGS FOR THE OVERALL TRANSLINK SYSTEM INCLUDE: ! Boardings: up 7.1 per cent system-wide (the biggest-ever annual increase) ! Bus: up 8 per cent ! SkyTrain: up 5.7 per cent

Language barriers impede paramedics Paramedics detail how they overcome language barriers at a time when seconds count Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Imagine collapsing on a busy street and waking up to paramedics asking you questions in a language you don’t understand.

You’re in pain and you want to tell them what happened, but you can’t.

In Burnaby, home to Metro Vancouver’s thirdlargest population of recent immigrants, that’s not an unlikely scenario – and paramedics have to be prepared to deal with it.

“Hopefully someone’s there that can help,” B.C. Ambulance Service paramedic Jade Munro tells the NOW. “We often use bystanders if the patient’s comfortable with that.We ask first if they’re OK with it. And, of course, family members and young children are usually our best bet. If there’s a young child in the house – like age five and older – they can really help us because they’re usually bilingual.”

Munro and other Metro Vancouver paramedics are currently being featured in an original 10-episode Knowledge Network series, Paramedics: Life on the Line, and Episode 4 captures some of the language barriers they face during their life-saving work.

“It’s definitely challenging,” says Munro, who works out of a station just across the Vancouver border but responds to calls in Burnaby.

One tool paramedics have

On the job: Paramedic specialist Jade Munro helps a patient in a photo taken during the shooting of Paramedics: Life on the Line. Munro was initially reluctant to participate in the Knowledge Network series, she said, but ended up impressed with the film crew’s respectful and unobtrusive approach.

to communicate with their patients is the “language line” – a service that gives them access to phone interpreters for about 200 different languages and dialects within an average of 31.5 seconds once a specific language is named.

After a dispatcher puts her through to the service, Munro puts her phone on speaker.

“Say I have a Manda-

rin translator, I’ll speak with the Mandarin translator on the phone, saying, ‘Hey, I’ve got a patient. I want to ask her some specific questions about her chest pain.’Then he or she asks the patient; the patient answers, and then he or she relays it back to me – so everything takes twice as long, but we can get through the call,” Munro says.

Things get tricky, though,

when the patient speaks a less common language or an obscure dialect.

“The first challenge is to figure out what language they speak,” Munro says.

She recalls one patient whose African language no one was able to figure out before Munro’s part in the call was over.

When that happens, Munro says paramedics are forced to rely on what she

calls “veterinary medicine” – examining the patient and checking vital signs.

Fortunately, she says, those can tell a paramedic plenty about whether the patient’s condition is lifethreatening.

“If we can’t find abnormal vital signs or abnormal physical presentation, it’s not life-threatening in that moment,” she says, “so then we have the time to take them to the hospital and sort out the whole language thing.”

But being able to communicate with patients is important to the quality of their care, says Kiran Malli, director of Provincial Language Services, a Burnabyheadquartered branch of the Provincial Health Services Authority that provides interpreting services to health authorities and doctors’ offices around the province.

The language line, a service provided by Ontario company 911 Interpreters Inc., is an important part of that, she says.

“In these emergency situations, if you have an interpreter on time, as needed, the care will be that much better,” she says.

“Paramedics are part of

the health-care system, so we want to make sure that they are able to do their job as effectively as they can for everybody out there. Just because I speak English, I shouldn’t get better results than somebody who doesn’t speak English.”

As the number of new immigrants and refugees in the region has grown, more health-care providers have adopted that attitude, according to Malli.

She says increased use of services like the language line bears that out.

Over the last five years, total calls have nearly doubled, from 16,578 in 2014 to 32,659 in 2018. (Calls from paramedics during that time have gone up from 2,406 to 3,712.)

The total cost of the service, meanwhile, has jumped from $230,976 in 2014 to $496,301 last year.

Communitynow Burnaby Village explores legacy of Chinese-Canadian families Across the Pacific exhibition will be on display May 4 to Sept. 2 The Burnaby Village Museum’s summer opening on May 4 brings Across the Pacific, a new exhibit exploring the history and legacy of Chinese-Canadians in Burnaby since the late 1800s.

Curated by Burnaby Village Museum’s Lisa Codd and UBC doctoral student

It was an incredible privilege being able to witness that moment of discovery.

Denise Fong, the exhibit evolved from a Community Heritage Commission research project in commemoration of Burnaby’s 125th anniversary in 2017.

“Across the Pacific helps demonstrate how Chinese-

Canadians have been an important part of Burnaby since its earliest days,” Codd said. “Many of these photos and objects have never been on display, which makes this a very special and meaningful exhibit to share with the community.”

In creating this exhibit, the museum collaborated with the descendants of some of Burnaby’s Chinese farm families, including those who continue to farm in the city’s Big Bend area.

“Some of the stories were being shared with the family for the first time through this research,” adds Fong.

“It was an incredible privilege being able to witness that moment of discovery, but also to participate in a process that acknowledges the impact that Chinese-Canadians have had in shaping the landscape of Burnaby’s past and present.”

The exhibit is presented in three written languages – English as well as tradition-

al and simplified Chinese – and includes audio components featuring several Cantonese dialects, making the content accessible to the community’s diverse Chinese-language speakers.

Across the Pacific is on display at the Burnaby Village Museum’s Stride Studios Gallery during the museum’s summer schedule from May 4 to Sept. 2. Admission is free.

Success: Chinese farmers achieved high levels of productivity by applying farming techniques from China to the local environment.

Festival of Learning offers week of discovery

Organic Strawberry Plants 4 inch pot

Week of events runs the gamut from science to sports Just because you have left school and moved into the so-called “real world,” that doesn’t mean you have to stop learning too.

That’s the message behind Burnaby’s Festival of Learning, on from May 4 to 11 at various locations throughout the city.

From science bootcamps to business workshops to painting lessons to a chemistry magic show and a lot more, there is something to pique the interest of anybody.

Organizer Alison Chan said the festival helps remind people that we can

keep learning continuously throughout our lives.

“I don’t think learning really stops at any point,” she said. “It’s for life.”

Chan said she’s especially excited for the PechaKucha Night on Saturday, May 4.

Chan said PechaKucha presentations feature a speaker explaining a topic they have some expertise in using 20 slides that last 20 seconds each.

The talks resemble the TED Talks and topics can range from someone explaining how gardening can be a metaphor for life to someone sharing how they

dealt with being bullied, Chan said.

Chan also highlighted a new type of event for the Festival of Learning, an esports day. Registering for the tournament is free and gamers can square off in Fortnite, Apex Legends and Smash Ultimate.

The Gaming Stadium: E-Sports Day goes from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11 at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

Mounties, paramedics urge grads to get safe ride home Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police descended on Burnaby high schools this week – but not in a bad way.

For two weeks, Burnaby RCMP and Transit Police, along with BC Ambulance Services and TransLink, are visiting schools ahead of grad season to raise awareness about impaired driving.

The new initiative, spearheaded by school liaison officer Const. Alexa Hodgins, kicked off at Alpha Second-

I wanted a different way to talk to kids about … making safe decisions for grad season

ary School on Tuesday.

An assortment of police cruisers and an ambulance were parked in the school’s

parking lot at lunch, and officers and paramedics were on hand to talk to students about responsible transportation choices during grad festivities, the laws around impaired driving, vaping and drug misuse and the possible consequences of driving impaired.

Students, meanwhile, seemed equally interested in trying out the cruisers’ sirens and loudspeakers and pretending to take each other into custody.

“I wanted a different way to talk to kids about everything to do with making safe decisions for grad season,” Hodgins told the NOW. “Really it’s just a fun way to talk to kids and get them to choose a safe alternative. Even if it makes one kid stop and think, ‘I should take a bus or arrange for a taxi or even just call my mom,’ then that’s a win for me.”

The initiative dovetails nicely with what the district hopes to get across to grads too, according to Safe and Caring Schools director Sue Dorey.

Impaired: An Alpha Secondary student wearing impairment goggles attempts a skill-testing activity during a Choose Your Ride event at the high school Tuesday. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

“We anticipate that the visuals of ChooseYour Ride will pique curiosity and spark a healthy and important conversation,” she said in a press release. “This gives students a significant opportunity to talk about safety with professionals who care about their well-

being and want to prevent the harms associated with substance use and driving.”

The event touched down at Burnaby North Wednesday and Burnaby Mountain today (Thursday).

Moscrop students will get their turn with lights and sirens Friday.

Next week, Cariboo Hill, Byrne Creek, Burnaby South and Burnaby Central will get visits from the cops and paramedics on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES Begin planning kids’ summer recreation now

Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters’ summer vacations.

Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume.

Due in part to high demand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or summer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer. The following are a handful of tips for moms and dads who want their kids to have fun and fulfilling summers.

• Ask for recommendations. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children. Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget. Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like.

• Explore all options. Camps come in more flavors than ever before. Certain camps may be faith-based ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art

camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

• Inquire about camp schedules. While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same level of flexibility as after-school programs. Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours.

Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available.

• Determine your camp budget. As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Governmentrun camps may be less expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board. Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp and may offer affordable options for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules.

If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children

occupied during the day.

In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and provide kids and families time to relax together.

Summer recreation may be far off, but it is never too early to start making summer plans, including finding camps and other activities for kids.

City now SFU series takes its shot at vaccinations

Simon Fraser University’s Café Scientifique is tackling vaccinations in the wake of recent outbreaks of the measles.

Café Scientifique is a series of informal discussions connecting research to important issues of interest to the community.The events include light snacks and refreshments “while engaging with cutting-edge, awardwinning researchers from Simon Fraser University’s faculty of science,” said a news release.

The May 8 event at the Bob Prittie Metrotown Burnaby Public Library is called the Science Behind Viruses and Treatments.

Attendees will hear three different discussions:

Yes or No?: The SFU Café Scientifique discussion series is taking a look at the issue of vaccinations. PHOTO PIXABAY

HOW DO VACCINES WORK? The discussion is with Dr. Mark Brockman, associate professor, department of molecular biology and biochemistry.

“Vaccines have contributed to dramatic declines in illness due to pathogens.

Recent outbreaks of measles and other vaccine-preventable infections highlight the vital role that they play in our health-care system.

Mark Brockman will introduce the science behind vaccines and discuss how they help to protect individuals and populations from disease.”

FIGHTING CANCER WITH RADIOACTIVE DRUGS This discussion is with Dr. Caterina Ramogida, assistant professor, department of chemistry, Simon Fraser University and Life Sciences Division,TRIUMF. “Cancer continues to be the leading cause of death in Canada. A new class of radioactive drugs shows immense potential for the treatment of difficult to treat cancers. Caterina Ramogida will introduce how these radioactive isotopes can be used to safely and effectively treat disease and discuss some of the current challenges associated with developing these drugs for wide spread use.”

ARE YOU REALLY GOOD WITH NUMBERS? This discussion is with Dr. Nilima Nigam, profes-

sor, department of mathematics. “Many of us view mathematics as a topic that caused us discomfort at some juncture, though we hear it is very useful. A closely guarded secret is that many mathematicians are terrible with arithmetic, and prefer problems which are challenging or fun. Nilima Nigam will talk about the mathematics of a highdose targeted radiation therapy for rectal cancers, and of the zombie apocalypse (hint: get the anti-zombie vaccine!).”

THE DETAILS It’s happening in the second-floor program room at Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch of Burnaby Public Library, 6:30 to 9 p.m. (doors open for registration at 6 p.m.). Reserve your free seat by sending an email to cafe_scientifique@sfu.ca.

Communitynow Art show helps fight Alzheimer’s

SAVE THE DATE: MAY 11

DEER LAKE GALLERY

Paints n’ Bloom show and sale continues at GardenWorks at Mandeville until Saturday Two local artists are once again joining forces in support of the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.

Audrey Bakewell and Wendy Mould are holding their Paints n’ Bloom Art Show and Sale from at GardenWorks at Mandeville in South Burnaby, and it’s continuing until Saturday, May 4.

Since the fall of 2011, Bakewell and Mould have been joining together twice a year to make art in support of the Alzheimer Society by raising both funds and awareness, raising more than $5,000 to date.This spring show marks their 16th time producing the show.

The cause has personal meaning for both artists.

“Alzheimer’s disease is such a cruel thing to happen to any member of your family,” said Mould, whose brother-in-law and sister-inlaw were diagnosed in their 50s.

Bakewell’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at a time when there was very little awareness of support programs in the community, so the two make it their mission to provide information at the show.

“At our shows, some peo-

It’s on at Deer Lake Gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave., from Saturday, May 11 to Saturday, June 1. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 11 from noon to 4 p.m.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? The exhibition, which has been in progress for the past two years, was inspired by an old wooden recipe box given to Barnett by her elderly neighbour, Mrs. Williams.

The box contained a collection of recipes, “beautifully scripted in pen and ink,” as a press release notes, which symbolized the work of a lifetime homemaker.

ple will quietly pick up the brochure, while others will share their stories with us,” the artists said in a press release. “We are pleased to help in any small way.”

The art show is free to stop in, and it’s open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. GardenWorks at Mandeville is at 4746 Marine Dr. Check out www.artby wendy.com for more details.

“These arts are by no means less skilful for being practical, and Mrs. Williams: Homage to a Homemaker shows us how art can be an inspiration and driver for society,” says the release.

“The box engendered memories of her own childhood for Thompson; her mother having a similar recipe box and being a homemaker, spending hours of each day in the kitchen, cooking, sewing, repairing and being resourceful,” the release said. “Thompson and Barnett have always appreciated and practised these arts themselves, and believe that ‘women’s work’ is to be celebrated and appreciated as the backbone of society.”

MOVERS & SHAKERS

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council helped officially open New Chelsea Society’s new location at the Glenlyon Business Park last month.

The non-profit society provides affordable housing for families and seniors.

It currently owns and operates 20 properties across the Lower Mainland and it has plans to open a new project on Southwest Marine Drive

in 2021.

While the society moved into its new digs in January, it waited until April to hold an open house to celebrate the move.

The festivities included a ribbon cutting ceremony with Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and city councillors Joe Keithley, JamesWang and Paul McDonnell.

Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan was also in attendance.

vision, mission, and mandate, will ensure that for many years to come, New Chelsea Society will be able to fulfill our commitment to the citizens of Burnaby as well as those citizens throughout the Lower Mainland who are in need of an affordable place to live,” said New Chelsea CEO Patrick Buchannon in a statement.

PROMISE FULFILLED Businesses, unions, universities and colleges all came together to support the annual Period Promise campaign organized by the Burnaby-based UnitedWay of the Lower Mainland.

The campaign’s goal is twofold: raise awareness about the challenges people living in poverty face trying to access menstrual products and mobilize the community to

break down these barriers.

Between March 7 and April 4, participating groups were asked to collect menstrual products and to commit to providing free menstrual products at their workplaces, according to a press release.This year, the campaign netted an estimated 500,000 menstrual products, nearly twice as many as were collected in 2018, according to the UnitedWay

of the Lower Mainland.

“We are blown away by the support we’ve received,” said Sussanne Skidmore, secretary-treasurer of the BC Federation of Labour and co-chair of this year’s campaign, in the release.

“People clearly care about tackling period poverty,” she added. “We’ve made a major impact when it comes to ending stigma and isolation.”

Hall honour for Knights’ Cornish

Tough losses lead off Lakers’ season Burnaby briefly leads in both contests but opponents dominate third

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Two losses to start the season isn’t how you want to start a new year.

But making it a contest both times is both signs of progress and frustration for the Burnaby junior A Lakers.

The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League squad dropped games to Delta and Langley by varied scores – 9-8 in the season opener, and 13-8 to Langley at the Bill Copeland Sports Complex on Monday.

The end results only tell part of the story, as Burn-

aby pushed back and held leads in both tilts, only to see the opposition surge when it came down to brass tacks.

In Burnaby’s home opener on Monday, the visiting Thunder held sway for the final two periods, flipping a 4-3 deficit and cashing in with some timely special teams markers late in the second period.

Matthew Abbott’s shorthanded tally with 1:50 left in the middle frame made it 8-6 for Langley, and it was followed by Ryan Martel’s goal before the period ended.

The Thunder would kick

off the third with four straight goals to lock it down.

Burnaby, who held leads of 2-1 and 4-3 briefly, was led by Marcus Klarich’s fourpoint game, including a hat trick. Chipping in with two goals and two assists was newcomer Sam LaRoue, while Kieran McKay also tallied twice.

Kurtis Shum rounded out the offence, while Liam Smith and Thomas Vela each chipped in a pair of assists.

Netminder Matteo Tack was sharp under fire, turning back 45 shots.

Earlier, the Lakers

launched the 2019 season in a 9-8 loss to Delta.

In that game, a big second period lifted the Lakers to an 8-4 advantage before the wheels fell off.

Vela, with two, Nicholas Dos Santos, Butch LaRoue, Sam LaRoue, Klarich, Smith and Vela supplied the offence.

Delta outshot Burnaby 5942, with Diesel De Guzman turning aside 50 shots.

The Lakers will look for their first win of the season tomorrow (Friday) when they host New Westminster (8 p.m.), and welcome PoCo to Copeland on Monday.

Corrales Nelson stacks up personal bests Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If the last regular meet of the season is the finale, Burnaby’s Zion Corrales Nelson made sure to put her best foot forward.

The third-year University of California-Berkeley athlete capped the outdoor track regular season with a standout performance at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkeley, rolling to three new personal bests and gold medal finishes.

The St.Thomas More alumna won the 100-metre dash on the first day, cap-

turing the event with a personal record time of 11.51 seconds to move from 10th spot to fourth on the school’s alltime list.

Her previous best time in the 100m was 11.69, set nearly two years ago in Coquitlam.

The win also earned Corrales Nelson a spot at the NCAA regional meet with the 23rd fastest 100m time in the nation.

On the second day, the 20-year-old Bears sprinter took both the 200- and 400m titles, doing both in style.

In the 200m, Corrales Nelson posted a 23.46 finish time to climb up to sec-

ond in the school’s all-time list, coming on the heels of a dominating performance in the 400m. In that race, she shifted into first place on the second turn to finish in a time of 54.41 seconds.

Her previous best in the 200m was 23.74, set at the 2017 Brutus Hamilton competition.The new mark in the 400m shattered her previous best, set in 2016, of 54.90.

Corrales Nelson also joined forces with teammates Deshae Wise, Maisie Stevens and Jackie Patterson to capture the 4x100m relay event, crossing the finish line in 44.83 seconds.

St.Thomas More alum Jon Cornish made a huge impact in a short time span.

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame gave the big striding one-time Calgary Stampeders star its biggest honour, naming Cornish among its class of 2019 inductees this week.

On the strength of a stellar career that saw him rack up three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, averaging 6.7-yards a carry over nine years, Cornish joins the likes of fellow players Mervyn Fernandez,Terry Greer, Ernie Pitts and David Williams and builders Jim Hopson and Frank Smith in being inducted this coming August.

“What I did was sort of building off of some of the other great Canadians and what they had done over time,” Cornish said at a press conference. “Growing up and seeing a guy like Lui Passaglia having great success, for me really set the tone that a Canadian can have success in the CFL.” A standout during his high school career at St.Thomas More, Cornish retired from ... I just had the pro game after the 2015 to really season, after battling various injuries. bring the He played nine seasons best product with the Calgary Stampeders after being selected with I could to the the 13th overall pick in the football field.

2006 CFL draft.

In his first full season as a starter, the Stampeders’ No. 9 rambled for 1,457 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2012, breaking Canadian Hall of Famer Normie Kwong’s 56-year-old single-season rushing record for Canadians. A year later, he improved on those totals and dominated the game with 1,813 yards and became the third Canadian to receive the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award, as well as the Lou Marsh Trophy as the nation’s top athlete.

Even though his 2014 season was limited to nine games due to injuries, Cornish led the league in rushing at 1,082 yards. He ended up being named to four West Division all-star teams, as well as the league’s Most Outstanding Canadian for three straight years.

“Once I got to the CFL I came to understand what I needed to do to establish myself as a running back.

I really couldn’t rely on my Canadian-ness, I just had to really bring the best product I could to the football field,” the 34-year-old said. “Having had that opportunity to break a few records, like Normie Kwong’s record that stood for 56 years, to have the opportunity to break his record was something I had aspired to do my entire life.To change the tone of how running backs are talked about and being a Canadian while doing it, was a great honour.”

At STM, the two-way star racked up 3,200 career yards and 49 touchdowns over three years, while picking up 2,136 of those yards in his final year. He also tallied 37 quarterback sacks and 152 career tackles, including 89 as a senior.The team won the B.C. title two of those seasons.

In a career that included Grey Cups in 2008 and 2014, Cornish counted 6,844 career yards and 44 rushing touchdowns, with another 1,666 receiving yards and nine majors.

Cornish gets hall honour

Continued from page 43 Asked about how he became, like Kwong before him, an inspiration to Canadians with dreams of playing football at the highest level, Cornish gave a nod to Edmonton native Chuba Hubbard, who stars with the Oklahoma State Sooners at running back.

“Having played the whole career,

it is what it is. It’s all done now, but if what I did there was able to inspire more kids to believe they can play football at the highest level, that’s all I can wish from my career,” he said.

Cornish played his college ball at the University of Kansas, where he set the school’s single season rushing record of 1,457 yards as a senior.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Most Canadians don’t understand mortgage stress test: poll The federal mortgage stress test is 16 months old, but that doesn’t mean that Canadians homeowners and buyers necessarily understand its rules or what it means for their home purchase.

A TD survey released April 30 has found that nearly half of Canadians (43 per cent) aren’t confident in their knowledge of the mortgage stress test rules. The poll, of 1,901 Canadians who were either homeowners or planning on buying a home, also found that 59 per cent of respondents don’t understand how the stress test would affect them when buying their first or next home The mortgage stress test requires all mortgage applicants to qualify at the Bank of Canada’s posted rate, or their mortgage contract rate plus two per cent, whichever is higher. This is intended to create a buffer against future rate increases or financial hardships, and to ensure buyers don’t overstretch their finances.

Pat Giles, vice-president, Real Estate Secured Lending at TD, said, “It’s important to remember that if you’re a home buyer and you have a down payment of less than 20 per cent, the way that lenders qualify you hasn’t changed… [There was] already a stress test in place for home buyers who have a down payment of less than 20 per cent. The stress test introduced in 2018 is meant to ensure that homebuyers with a down payment of 20 per cent or more can feel confident they’re buying the house they can afford, both now and in the future.”

Mortgage rate confusion The survey also asked Canadians about other aspects of mortgages, and found high levels of confusion in some areas, while respondents were quite knowledgeable in other areas.

More than eight in 10 (81 per cent) said that they didn’t understand how a potential rise in mortgage rates would affect their finances.

However, more than half (58 per cent) said they were confident in their knowledge about how mortgage payment pauses or “vacations” work, and 69 per cent were confident in their understanding of mortgage prepayment rules. Only just over one-quarter of Canadians (28 per cent) said they did not understand the difference between mortgage pre-approval and pre-qualification.

Giles said, “Buying a home can be one of the most critical financial decisions someone can make. No matter where you are in the homebuying journey, it’s important to build a strong foundation of mortgage knowledge to ensure you feel prepared and confident at every step.”

He added, “Ultimately it comes down to affordability. A financial advisor or mortgage specialist can help you understand how much home you can comfortably afford while taking into account the full cost of home ownership.”

LEGAL/PUBLIC NOTICES

It was in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where Pat was born, that she met and married the Reverend Tom Allen whose life and ministry she shared at Saint Michael and All Angels in Prince George, British Columbia, and then at Holy Trinity Cathedral in New Westminster. Following his early death in 1990, Pat chose to remain in New Westminster and to exercise a life of service amongst the people who were now her friends. For over thirty years Pat quietly bore witness to a Gospel of love by simple acts of kindness and a deep awareness of others in the world about her. Pat is survived by her sisters, Marge Ciona, Betty Speers and Wilma Taylor.

Her funeral will take place on Friday, 10 May, at 11.00 a.m. at Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon Street, New Westminster. Her remains will rest in the Cathedral Memorial Garden near Tom’s. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall and hosted by the Cathedral congregation.
