Major development moves ahead Residents get a say on Woodlands next week Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

A major redevelopment project for a 26acre area in Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood is going to public hearing this month. The Woodlands development, put forward by Concord Pacific, would see the industrial area, which lies south of Lougheed Highway, east of Beta Avenue, west of Delta Avenue and extends south toward the rail line, replaced with residential and public space, including a park and a potential school site. “This is a big project and one that’s been

a long time coming to fruition,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at the July 6 council meeting. A city staff report detailing the conceptual master plan was presented to council at the meeting. “It is a comprehensive document that shows a major development in the eastern section of our Brentwood development plan, and these are former warehouse lands that are going to be going to residential development,” Corrigan said. “So I’m looking forward to seeing how the public responds to it.” The plan is divided into six areas: the Lougheed parkway at the north end of the site; the hillside area, which would include up to four highrises ranging from 35 to 55 storeys; the flatlands area, which would include midrise buildings four to 15 sto-

Tourist reunited with bike Australian traveller is thrilled after Burnaby cops recover his stolen bike in an undercover operation Cayley Dobie

“Absolutely amazing.” That’s how Andrew Cameron, a traveller from Australia, described the reunion with his stolen mountain bike last week. Cameron had just arrived in B.C. from Adelaide, South Australia, for a six-month biking trip inWhistler, when

It was a soulcrushing experience.

he stopped by Metropolis at Metrotown on May 12 to exchange some money for a hostel stay. He locked up his bike at a rack near the bus loop rack and was only inside for a dozen minutes or

so, but that was long enough for an alleged pair of thieves. “I came out and the bike was gone,” Cameron said. “I ended up calling security straight away.They got on to the police really quickly and got security camera footage.” Burnaby RCMP’s community response team was able to identify a suspect from the surveillance footage. The 33-year-old Burnaby man was arrested a short while later, but Cameron’s bike was not recovered so the search continued for the $1,650 mountain bike. Desperate to find the bike, Cameron trolled the Internet in case someone was trying to sell it, and sure enough he found it. He contacted the Burnaby RCMP, which checked the online and confirmed it was, in fact, Cameron’s bike. An undercover operation was initiated, and on July 2

BACK ON BOARD: Australian tourist Andrew Cameron, on right, came to B.C. to do some mountain biking, but his riding adventure was put on hiatus when his $1,650 bike was stolen from a bike rack outside of Metropolis at Metrotown on May 12. On July 8, Burnaby RCMP returned the bike to Cameron after an undercover investigation recovered the stolen ride. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE officers “bought” the stolen bike from an online vendor and arrested a 47-yearold Burnaby woman in the process. “Being a mountain biker myself, I know how important it is to get your bike back,” said Cpl.

The Liberals have selected their candidate for the federal riding of NewWestminster-Burnaby. Lawyer Sasha Ramnarine, 30, will run for the Grits this fall, making his first foray into politics. “I’m really promoting fairness to the middle class,” Ramnarine told the NOW. “They’ve been forgotten by the government.” Ramnarine highlighted his small business and immigrant background – he was born in Canada but his parents emigrated from the Caribbean.

In the meantime, he had purchased a used bike so he could at least do some riding on the trails inWhistler, which was the whole purpose of his trip. “It was absolutely horrible when I first learned I’d lost

it, because I came over here for a riding holiday so it was based entirely around this bike, and then to come outside and see it was gone, it was heartbreaking,” Cameron said. “It was a soul-crushing experience.” With his bike safely returned, Cameron said he’s excited to get back toWhistler and finally hit the trails

with his own ride. “I’m so appreciative, I can’t say enough. I’m finally going to start on that bike holiday now,” Cameron said with a big smile. Charges are still pending against the two suspects.The man is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 26 and the woman is expected back on Sept. 10.

Election spending limits won’t hurt BCA, says Burnaby mayor Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Local election campaign limits don’t worry Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, but he does oppose them. At the end of June, the province’s all-party special committee on local elections expense limits released its unanimous report on local campaign spending limits. Corrigan hadn’t had a chance to read the entire report when contacted by the NOW, but he said it wouldn’t be an issue for the Burnaby Citizens’ Association. “Nothing in the election expenses is going to have a big effect on my party or our elections,” he said. “We’re still going to spend probably well within the limits that are proposed because we work

together, and the limits are essentially designed to deal with councillors and mayors individually.We’re able to get more economy of scale by working together, and most other urban municipalities have political parties that are doing the same.”

We’re able to get more economy of scale In jurisdictions with a population of fewer than 10,000, the committee recommends expense limits of $10,000 for mayoral candidates and $5,000 for all other candidates, including councillors and school trustees. In jurisdictions with

a population of 10,000 or more, the committee recommends a per capita formula, as the size of the municipality is expected to increase campaign costs. The BCA spent $640,797 in the last municipal election for the campaigns of the mayor, eight councillors and seven school trustees. The party swept all the seats on council and the school board. BCA had $484,649 in contributions and used $156,148 from its own accounts.The other party running candidates, the Burnaby First Coalition, had $28,344 in contributions, mostly from the candidates. As for future elections, Corrigan saidVancouver would be the main municipality affected by the limits. Continued on page 10

Burnaby’s Chevron refinery is still waiting on final test results to determine what, exactly, was in roughly 30,000 litres of “dirty” water spilled last Friday morning. Chevron spokesperson Dave Schick said the water was set to undergo a second stage of treatment before it spilled. “It’s not clean water,” Schick said. “We’re finishing cleaning it up.” Schick said there’s no threat to human health or the environment. He said water has dissolved hydrocarbons in it but no “free oil,” meaning there were no visible signs of oil, like sheen, for example. “We’re waiting (for) tests to confirm the composition,” he said. “It’s largely water, … but we don’t want the water to get off the site till we’re guaranteed what the composition is.” According to Schick, the

water spilled Friday morning, around 6:30 a.m., and Chevron alerted the provincial Environment Ministry early in the afternoon. It’s not clear how it spilled, but Schick indicated it may have happened while

The company … has and is taking action the refinery was pumping water from one containment pond to another. Chevron contractors with a vacuum truck recovered 10,000 litres of the dirty water, but the rest, an estimated 20,000 litres, went into the ground, Schick explained. Schick said the water was used in the refinery’s cooling process, and after the second stage of treatment, it goes into the sewer system. The refinery sits on the edge of the Burrard Inlet, and the railway tracks run

between the refinery and the beach below. Schick said there’s no indication the water made it past the railway tracks, but he also said he wasn’t sure of that. On Tuesday morning, Schick said initial test results were showing what the company expected, but he didn’t wanted to comment until the remaining soil test results come in, likely in a couple of days. The refinery may need to remove some soil on the site, Schick explained, depending on what the test results show. The Environment Ministry’s Dave Karn sent the NOW an email stating the spill was primarily water effluent in its final stage of treatment, and the potentially affected ground area is not accessible to the public. “The company responsible has and is taking action to deal with the situation, including taking samples in the affected area and implementing spill containment,” the email reads.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Needed: A superhero to save the planet We’ve gotta take our collective editorial hat off to Andrew Weaver. Weaver, the B.C. Green Party MLA representing Oak Bay-Gordon Head, can always be counted on to remind us why we need to have some non-Liberal, non-NDP voices in the legislature. Weaver did his part to shake up Christy Clark’s summer sitting of the legislature by arguing that the house should, in fact, cease other business for an emer-

gency debate on how the province is responding to climate change. Weaver invoked the rarely used Standing Order 35, which is reserved for issues of “urgent public importance.” He said the legislature needs to decide whether it is “acting with sufficient urgency and demonstrating the appropriate leadership on preparing for and mitigating the escalating impacts of climate change on our province.” He pointed out, quite

rightly, that B.C. has been seeing all kinds of signs of climate change. “We are experiencing forest fires, fishing bans, water restrictions and air quality advisories all occurring at alarming rates,” he said in a statement. “In the backdrop of everything that is going on right now, there are few issues more urgent or of greater public importance than the actions we need to take immediately to tackle climate change.” It’s probably not surpris-

ing that the other parties were less than enthusiastic about the idea. Christy Clark’s Liberals weren’t about to get derailed from their single-track agenda to save the provincial economy through liquefied natural gas. And the NDP? Well, their response was as non-offensively middle-of-the-road as you might expect – acknowledging the importance of a climate-change debate but suggesting the fall session might be a more

appropriate time for it. Did Weaver genuinely think he had a shot at convincing them otherwise? We suspect not. But kudos to him for making a point of forcing the rest of the house to stop and think about an issue that is, genuinely, the most critical issue facing our province – and our planet – today. Sure, it was playing a bit of politics to introduce the idea as an emergency debate; arguably, there’s very

little the government could do in the next couple of months that can’t be dealt with in the fall sitting. But it’s become increasingly clear that our planet needs a superhero to stick up for it – and it seems to have fallen to Weaver to be that person for the B.C. legislature. Here’s hoping he’ll be joined by a few more colleagues after the next provincial election, so that everyone starts taking climate issues more seriously.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Water debate getting heated Is B.C.’s fresh water the new oil? Given the near-hysteria around a foreign corporation’s plan to continue to extract a relatively tiny amount of groundwater from an aquifer deep in the ground one might be tempted to make that link. But there is a crucial difference between the two. First, oil (and natural gas) are sold on the international marketplace and our water is not. The fact that Nestle is the company involved in this is part of the reason for all the protests. It is not a popular foreign corporation, and the political left love to trash any idea of such a company getting access to any of B.C.’s resources. Typical of the misinformation that clouds this issue is an online petition that has been rapidly picking up signatures. It’s breathless title (“Nestle is about to suck B.C. dry”) is, of course, completely fictitious and inflammatory. Some perspective here. Nestle has been extracting a small amount of B.C. groundwater annually for more than a decade; it is not touching lakes or streams; the amount of water it is buying amounts to a proverbial micro-drop in a bucket compared to our water supply. Finally, Nestle is not actually being “sold” the water. It is being charged a small administrative fee to continue to access it (that fee

is roughly equivalent to accessing surface water from lakes and streams). Back to the petition. People who sign it should take note that in doing so, they are actually agreeing with the premise that B.C.’s fresh water can indeed be sold internationally. Enter former B.C. MLA Judi Tyabji, a zealous opponent of the very idea that we start selling B.C.’s fresh water. When she got wind of the petition, she started a social media firestorm of her own when she posted on Facebook an analysis that pointed out it would be disastrous to start contractually “selling” Nestle or any other company fresh water for any price. That’s because such a move could trigger free trade provisions that would allow those companies access to B.C. fresh water for ever. Tyabji is now leading her own charge to battle against what she calls “gross misinformation” being peddled by those who should know better, and she’s getting a lot of attention (including from many folks who now wish they hadn’t signed that petition). I don’t expect the B.C. government to change the rules regarding Nestle’s water extraction, no matter how many people sign a petition. But water will remain an emerging political issue. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Police warned seniors to be on the lookout for a clean-cut man coming to their door, asking for a drink of water. During three such incidents in the area around Kingsway and Imperial, a man of that description waited until the seniors turned their backs and then stole purses and other items from their homes.

Water-saving tips go a flush too far

Pipeline problematic for Liberal candidates

Dear Editor First, let me confess that, in the past, I was amongst those who have abused the usage of water by trying to keep my garden hydrated. With that said, I could not have agreed more with you on the subject of water consumption. In fact, thank you for reminding all of us of the importance and seriousness of trying to save our water. Thank you for outlining some of the steps we, as individuals, can take in helping to make it happen. However, I have to admit that you did lose me with one of the tips stated in your article, “don’t flush the toilet every time you use it.” Even though I understand which of those times you’re referring to (or do I?), I’m still left with ... really? Do we have to go that far? In my opinion, if we were to commit to all of your other advice, there shouldn’t be any problems in flushing. Frank Di Cesare, Burnaby

Don’t let Burnaby tax the tap just yet Dear Editor Beware of water meters being pushed on the public in Burnaby. You don’t think that politicians would start using it as a cash cow first? Granted it is a hot, hot summer but people (NDP) need to think before they start shooting from the hip. It’s like, “Golly, it’s a hot summer, so let’s start piling on even more taxes onto homeowners.” If Burnaby decided to finally bite the bullet and stop watering lawns for good in the summer, that would be fine with me, because it seems to me that lawn watering has to be a total waste of water. Never let governments do your thinking for you, because sooner of later they will start hiring more very expensive paper-pushers to run it. I can see a possible need if our summers start to turn out like this years. We live in a rainforest, and we have, what is it, four or five large reservoirs just for the GVRD? That’s not counting Harrison Lake, which is on the provincial books as a future reservoir. Mark Tyson, via email

Cheapskates keeping region in gridlock Dear Editor It is mind- boggling that Metro Vancouverites are unwilling to spend 0.5 per cent more of their tax dollars to improve our public transit system. The No side voted yes to increased gridlock, yes to increased pollution and yes to higher taxes for road maintenance. It is petty, shortsighted and self-centred on the part of drivers who hold the steering wheel with one tight fist and their wallet with the other, while gazing in their rearview mirror towards the dated 1950s nostalgia. That is not how to build a 21st-century city, and it doesn’t bode well for altruistic citizenship in our city. Why should non-transit drivers be given a say about the needs of transit users? If “user pay” is their point, then conversely, drivers should pay separate tolls for every kilometre of bridge and road driven as is done in more progressive Singapore. Plan B calls for replacing TransLink with a more competent and qualified body, managed and controlled by the GVRD, not Victoria. Oscar Raasveldt, Port Coquitlam

Art Easian Typical Liberal doubleduckspeaking. All they want is your vote. Are you ready to hand over your brain with it? NDP has it’s hidden agenda too. Look at the glories of European socialism and cringe! Wait for Mulcair’s caucus to chime in. Change for the sake of change is charging off like Don Quixote in all directions. Keep interest rates low. 7carl8 ONE PIPELINE IS ENOUGH ! Sixty years ago it made sense to ‘pipe crude oil’ to supply nearby oil refineries .... Washington State has produced a comprehensive independent, RISK ANALYSIS about potential shipping incidents in our shared , getting busier Salish Sea waters...Our BC government has shied away from carrying out a similar independent RISK ANALYSIS for BC waters...why ?? It’ seems that BC government don’t want to know ,thereby ,in essence, giving Kinder Morgan ‘ their’ tacit OK for this ,publically , much feared ,potential,bitumen spill in our backyard or on our beaches.. Politicians continue to dither about BC’ pipelines ... Someone,PLEASE ,figure it out..... build ONE ,jointly-operated PIPELINES system from Alberta ,to a more remote shipping terminal location that offers ,open ocean access, to world the market...without threatening the busy,environmentally sensitive waters of Douglas Channel,Burrard Inlet and the Salish Sea....and still earn these vital export revenues for all Canadians ...!.. BC handles a significant portion of Canada’s resource exports.. but BC also must look after one of it’s primary industries...including those related to our environment and associated multi-billion dollar tourist businesses . BC must carefully manage ‘how , who and where’ anyone gets access to our land and waters......for all Canadians ...and our visitors .. Carl Shalansky,(P.Eng.,retired) bill smith The end result is very clear. The Liberals are refusing to take a position on the pipeline (secretly in support), the Conservatives are openly for it and the NDP, well, Corrigan was initially going to jump in front of a bulldozer to stop the pipeline, then he won the city election and had city workers evict anti-pipeline protesters. I am quite sure that if there is an NDP government after October 19th, it will do a Dix (flip-flop) and a Corrigan (about face). Under an NDP government, the pipeline will be repackaged and sold to the public in a friendly manner and it might even be approved faster than with a Conservative Government because there would be no effective opposition. Considering this, then the only chance to really stop the pipeline is to vote and elect Green.

Man wanted in Surrey shooting nabbed by Burnaby cops Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties arrested a 22-year-old man who allegedly shot and killed a Surrey resident while attempting to break into the man’s home. Shortly before 2 a.m. Monday, Burnaby RCMP were called to an apartment building in the 7300-block of Macpherson Avenue near Burnaby South Secondary, following a report that a man with a gun was attempting to break into the apartment building, accord-

ing to a media release from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The description of the suspect and his vehicle provided to the Burnaby RCMP matched that of a suspect believed to be responsible for the shooting death of a man in Surrey only hours earlier. Just before midnight on Sunday, July 12, a suspect broke into a home in the 16500 block of 64th Avenue.The resident, 42-yearold Colin Hill, tried to stop the suspect from entering, but an altercation be-

gan and Hill was shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene, the release stated. The suspect fled before police arrived. When Burnaby RCMP realized that their breakand-enter suspect was also the suspect in the fatal Surrey shooting, officers closed off the area and managed to arrest him without incident, according to the release. “Surrey RCMP moved quickly to get information out to all Lower Mainland police departments. As a result, Burnaby officers had the information they re-

Smoking banned in Burnaby parks Janaya Fuller-Evans

Burnaby expanded its smoking ban from local trails to city parks last week. No Smoking signs are being posted in Burnaby’s parks, trails and green spaces due to the current dry conditions and fire risk, according to a press release from the city. “Due to the dry weather and extreme heat that could result in fire hazards, the City of Burnaby advises all park users that there is no smoking permitted in Burnaby parks, trail and green spaces,” the release states. “The ban will remain in effect until further notice.” The fire danger rating for the South Coast is extreme, according to the B.C.Wildfire Service. There are currently seven active wildfires of note in the coastal region – none in Burnaby. But brush fires and other wild land fires have kept Burnaby firefighters busy since the hot, dry weather started, particularly on July 5, when a fire broke out on

the north side of Burnaby Mountain. It took 12 hours to extinguish it. Open burning is prohibited in Burnaby all-year round, except with a permit from the fire chief.This includes any fire in an outdoor fireplace, portable incinerator or portable burner. Due to the fire risk, charcoal barbecues are also not permitted at city parks and

quired in order to execute an arrest and keep the public safe from further harm by this individual,” Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, spokesperson for the homicide team, said in the release. The suspect, who is known to police, will likely be charged with seconddegree murder, according to police. He was scheduled to appear in court on July 14 (after press deadlines), at which time his name will be released.

Should gas pumps have warning labels? Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Gas pumps should have warning labels much like cigarette packages do, to make people consider the impact of fossil fuel use on climate change, according to students with Face the Change’s Our Horizons campaign. Burnaby is the most recent city to be approached by local members of Face the Change about the initiative.Two Simon Fraser University students spoke to council about the warning labels at the last council meeting. “Our labels are a disruptive innovation,” John Nguyen told council. “We foresee our labels will make people uncomfortable with their role in climate change.” While putting stickers depicting possible local consequences of climate change on gas pumps might lead to slight changes in individual

behaviour, the organization wants to effect the larger community, Nguyen said. “We’re more concerned with a shift in attitude – a collective change,” he said. The labels are a cost-effective and simple way to inform the public and make sure people consider the link between the fossil fuel industry and the environment, according to Salil Jakhadie, another SFU student involved in the campaign. Jakhadie asked council to consider formally supporting the labels, consider how Burnaby could support other municipalities in adopting the initiative, and inform the community about the initiative. “You have the ability to enact change,” he told council. “You can call this the opportunity to transition from an oil-based economy to something cleaner and greener.” The SFU branch of the organization has collect-

ed 150 signatures from SFU students supporting the campaign, according to Nguyen. Members of the organization have also spoken to the Metro Vancouver board and the regional climate action committee, and the board has asked for a staff report on the campaign, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan. “I think the same thing is appropriate here, that our staff can coordinate with Metro staff and report back to us on the issues surrounding this, including the potential for support at the FCM or UBCM,” Corrigan said. “I think staff will also need to make at least some contact with the industry, because the existing site on gas pumps is used for advertising or information now. So it would mean we’re taking up space that’s utilized now by the individual.” For more information on the campaign, including a look at the stickers themselves, go to ourhorizon.org.

Newsnow Seniors’ home gets a hand with renovations Jennifer Moreau

HERE & NOW jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Renovations at a local seniors’ home received a financial boost, courtesy of the Sweden House Society, an umbrella group for Lower Mainland Swedish associations.The society donated $20,000 to the Swedish Canadian Manor, which is part of a retirement complex on Duthie Avenue in Burnaby. “It was just amazing that they gave us it,” said Christer Hulten, president of the Swedish Canadian Village (formerly known as the Swedish Canadian Rest Home Association). The manor has 63 lowincome units for seniors aged 55 or older.The money will help pay for renovations already underway.

Work includes building new balconies, putting in new carpets, fixing up the common areas, adding new LED lights and new fire exit signs. HELPING THE HOSPICE The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #148 of North Burnaby recently donated $1,500 to Crossroads Hospice Society, which runs a care centre for the dying in Port Moody. The Legion donated in memory of Brian Simpson and Robert Wilks, two members who spent their last days in hospice care with Crossroads.The nonprofit society runs a hospice in Port Moody and bereavement programs in the TriCities.The donated funds will go toward supporting the group’s programs and services.

While the new limits may not affect Burnaby, Corrigan still opposes them, he said. “It certainly wasn’t a request that we had made, to have the provincial government begin dictating what could be spent in municipal elections,” he said. “In many ways, the provincial government is trying to set an example on our backs while they’re not setting the same kind of example themselves as to how election spending is done in the province. “I find that a little hard to take,” he added.

Continued from page 3 “I think the biggest impact will be in Vancouver, where the spending really has been high, and there’s been a lot of money going out as a result of the election campaigns,” he said. “I think it’s probably directed far more towards Vancouver than it is the other municipalities across the Lower Mainland.” Vision Vancouver spent $3.4 million for the mayoral, council, school board and parks board candidates in November’s election, according to the NOW’s sister paper, the Vancouver Courier.

Top 10 places to get in (and on) the water From pools to parks to lakes, our city has it all for family fun Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are upon us – and we’re on the job for you. Our reporters are out and about the city exploring the best options for summer fun of all kinds, and we’ll be bringing you our tips throughout the season. Janaya Fuller-Evans kicks it off this edition with her look at the Top 10 places to enjoy the water. ! It’s been a hot one so far this summer, with temperatures climbing past 30 C on many a day this year. With regional wading pools already closed due to water restrictions, it’s hard to know how much splashing around will happen this summer, so we’ve given

BURNABY POOLS: There are plenty of outdoor pools in Burnaby – the most scenic is Robert Burnaby outdoor pool, shaded and surrounded by trees. Another popular spot, particularly with Burnaby North Secondary students, is Kensington Park outdoor pool. And on the south side, take a dive at MacPherson Park or Central Park. Central Park has Burnaby’s largest outdoor pool, double the length of the other three, and there is also a spray park nearby. For more info such as schedules, locations and service updates, go to tinyurl.com/Burnabypools.

DEER LAKE: Get out on the water and enjoy the summer breeze. Bring your canoe or kayak down to the lake or rent one at Deer Lake Boat Rentals. Pedal boats and rowboats are also available. For more information, go to deerlakeboatrentals.com.

BURNABY SPRAY PARKS: There are currently five push-button spray parks open for the summer in the city. One of the most popular is the newly renovated playground and water play zone at Confederation Park. Others include spray parks in Charles Rummel Park, Ernie Winch Park,

you a list that includes options in, on and around the water. From fun in the pool to serene walks by the river to dining cruises, there is something here for everyone. Toddlers will enjoy Burnaby and New Westminster spray parks, while older kids will love paddling around Deer Lake. Whatever the age or inclination, there’s a refreshing oasis tucked away in almost every neighbourhood in both Burnaby and New Westminster. So here’s a list of the best places in both cities to stay calm, cool and collected this summer – whether you’re in or out of the water. –Janaya Fuller-Evans

For more info on Queen’s Park, go to tinyurl.com/ QueensParkSplash.

WESTMINSTER PIER PARK: While the turf may not give people the chance to splash around in the surf, New Westminster’s riverside park does offer up an urban beach, hammocks, and a refreshing stroll along the Fraser River. And newly installed misters are also on hand to help everyone keep a cool head this summer.

NEW WEST SPRAY PARKS: The city has plenty of other fun spray parks as well, including a recently upgraded one at Hume Park, which includes

Burnaby’s Fortius Sport and Health hosted the Canadian women’s U25 national wheelchair basketball team last month. The women were in town to prepare for the 2015 Women’s U25 World Championship in Beijing June 30 to July 6. Canada faced the top teams in the world, eventually going down 53-61 to China in the bronze-medal game last Monday. Head coach Ross Norton spoke to the NOW before the team headed to Beijing, commenting on how Fortius helped the squad prepare. “The training centre that we’re playing in (in China) is actually very similar to what Fortius offers, where we’re playing, we’re eating and we’re sleeping all in the same complex,” Norton said. “I’ve been here be-

fore, and I think it’s a fantastic facility.When you’ve got somewhere that you can stay and play, you’re using a lot less energy in transportation.You’ve got more rest time, and that’s important.” Fortius is on Kensington Avenue near Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. The centre is 148,000 square feet of integrated health services and amenities to help develop all types of athletes, from the weekend warrior to the Olympic level. Canada’s women’s national soccer team trained and stayed at the facility in the lead-up to the FIFA Women’s World Cup and will continue to hold training camps there to get ready for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. The facility also provides sports therapy services to the Vancouver Whitecaps. For more information, visit www.fortiussport.com.

ome on, Burnaby. We know you’ve got talent, and now’s the time to get on stage and strut your stuff. The Edmonds City Fair is hosting its 11th annual talent show as part of the fun on Sunday, July19. “It’s a good way for kids to demonstrate their talent to the community, and it’s a good stepping stone because they could possibly get recruited for other performances or talent shows,” said Olivia Leyser from Volunteer Burnaby, which helps organize the fair. The contest starts at noon on the stage on Edmonds Street, across from New Vista, and there’s no entry fee.

INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE showcases residents’ cultures

phy.) The volunteers typically bring items, like clothing, representing their country and their culture, and they are available to answer questions for fair-goers. “The idea is to engage these visitors in conversation, show them artifacts from your culture,” Samala said. The International Village will be set up on Edmonds Street close to the firefighters and the World in Burnaby, so just look for the giant inflatable globe. The village is part of the Edmonds City Fair, which runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 on Edmonds Street between Canada Way and Kingsway.

Burnaby’s miniature trains have begun picking up steam, once again giving riders a bite-sized taste of yesteryear. It was 50 years ago this summer that the Burnaby Central Railway club first embarked on its maiden voyages around the grounds of the Burnaby Village Museum. The railway then relocated to Confederation Park on July 1, 1993 after out-

2015 NISSAN MICRA®

growing its former location. The railway offers over two miles of track, which sprawls across a seven-acre site and includes “tunnels, bridges, crossovers and spirals,” according to the organization’s website. Each engine is handcrafted to be an exact replica of a full-sized train at only one-eighth of the size. Katie Riecken, mother of two, has been coming to ride the rails with her family since 2011. Back by popular demand, Riecken said it was her chil-

dren’s fascination with the trains, along with the quality of staff employed by the exhibit that has kept them coming back. “They make sure the kids are having a nice time,” said Riecken. ! The Burnaby Central Railway runs weekends and statutory holidays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., until Thanksgiving. It’s in Confederation Park, off Penzance Drive. See www.burnabyrailway. org for all the details.

Communitynow Make summer ﬁtness fun for the whole family Shaun Karp KEEPING FIT

editorial@burnabynow.com

Question: I am worried about the health of my children as they are starting to gain weight and they are not as active as they should be, please help! Answer: Many think of weight issues as a problem for adults, but according to the World Health Organization, nearly one-third of Canadians aged five to 17 are affected. And in our increasingly online world, it’s only becoming harder to get our kids moving, even in the summer. Still, even though it might seem daunting at first, it’s actually as simple as 1, 2, 3! 1. Set Goals Yogi Berra once said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.”That’s why it’s so important to set spe-

cific daily goals and carefully track the results. A good benchmark for kids is 60 minutes of exercise daily, which could include many fun activities like bike riding, skipping rope, jumping on a trampoline, or anything that engages the muscles and raises your child’s heart rate. Any activity that involves relatively constant movement absolutely counts toward the 60-minute total. But remember: “daily” means all seven days of the week! 2. Make It FUN! Some children take to organized sports right away, as if they were born to dribble a ball or snap a wrist shot. But not everyone enjoys that kind of exercise. If your child is more interested in hiking, kite flying or just free play at the park, be just as supportive of that behavior as any soccer parent would be when cheering on a great goal or amazing pass. Also consider lessons in swimming, tennis, golf,

dance or martial arts. A paper route is a great option for more monetarily-motivated munchkins.The point is, everyone can find something active they love to do.Your goal is to find this niche for your child to help ensure a lifetime of healthy activity. 3. Lead by Example As everyone knows, it’s not enough to simply instruct your kids on the importance of daily exercise. Or anything else, really.You need to prove day-by-day that you truly believe what you say. Do this by also prioritizing regular activity for yourself. There are endless possibilities for exercising with your kids, which offers a ton of great benefits. After all, the family that walks together talks together – much more than when they’re all staring at the TV, at least. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer.

Q A

How can I run longer?

This weekend FitFirst wrapped up another successful Run Clinic that was capped off with a 10km FUN run through the Central Valley Greenway. With some runners setting personal best’s and others running their “longest run EVAN MOORE ever” it had our runners thinking… how can I run longer!? Whether you want to go from 0km to 5km or 10km to 21.1km, here are a few tips to help you up mileage and avoid injury! • Have a plan: Avoid just lacing up your shoes and seeing how far you can run. This will cause extreme soreness and discourage you from continuing on to your running goals. Find a running program and stick to it! • Start slow and build slower: Build a solid running base before upping mileage. To avoid injury, each run should only get longer by a maximum of 10%. • Utilize the run/walk technique: When building a base running level we see the most success in runners who mix in a walk interval to their program. Start with a run/walk of 2 minutes running followed by 2 minutes walking (repeated) for 30 minutes. Once comfortable at that level begin to stretch your run interval and shorten your walk interval. Soon enough you’ll be running straight for 30 minutes!

Q A

What is a good diet for my cat?

Nutrition is based on a number of health needs for an individual including speDR. JANGI BAJWA, DVM cies, age, lifestyle (indoor versus Veterinary Dermatologist outdoor) etc. Cats have different Hastings Veterinary Hospital needs in order to provide them balanced nutrition compared to canines. For example, taurine is an essential amino acid required for companion cats. Cats should also be fed a primarily canned or soft food diet in order to supplement adequate water intake. Human food and excessive treats should be avoided. Some dry food feeding is suggested as well, but older cats used to dry food may find it difficult to adjust to a primarily canned diet.

Shoe Fitting

ASK A HEARING PRACTITIONER

Q A

hese days, sport shoe manufacturers release thousands of different models of shoes each year making it virtually impossible for consumers to keep up and select on their own the most appropriate brand and model for their individual foot type and function. To add to the confusion, there are many emerging and often polarizing – minimalist versus maximalist – trends that require some expertise to sort through.

Inappropriate, ill-fitting or worn out shoes can increase the chance of injury. As well, over time shoes lose their stability and capacity to absorb shock which can dramatically increase stress to your feet and legs. These added stresses can lead to blisters, corns and calluses as well as contribute to lower limb overuse injuries such as heel, arch and shin pain. Foot size is only one factor that determines what types of athletic shoes are best for you. FitFirst, a resident retail partner located in the Atrium @ Fortius, stays on top of the latest trends and technologies and will collaborate with your health care provider to recommend the most appropriate sport shoe for your foot type and activity. Whether you are a 90-year-old with severe rheumatoid arthritis or a world-class athlete looking for an edge, the shoe fitters at FitFirst look forward to serving you. Shoes Matter: • Many Studies show that our quality of life is directly related to remaining active, with a long list of benefits from preventing heart disease to improving mental health. Proper fitting and functioning footwear is crucial to maintaining an active lifestyle and preventing exercise related injury. Size Matters: • Poor fitting footwear is a primary contributor to foot and ankle injury and can exacerbate many common health conditions. Foot size, forefoot width and arch type are essential measurements in a proper footwear fitting. But there’s more to know about ensuring an ideal fit. • Since feet always swell during the day and especially during activity, try on shoes later in the day or right after exercise, when your feet are the largest. • Black toenails and foot cramping are often signs that your shoes are too small or too narrow. The more distance you cover during individual runs or walks the longer you shoe needs to be. Your Health Matters: • At FitFirst Footwear, we consider annual foot measurement and attention to your changing health needs make a significant difference in choosing footwear to keep you active and injury free. Whether you wear orthotics, have arthritis, diabetes, or experience changes in your feet during pregnancy, our team will provide you with the knowledge you need and a level of service and customer care that is clearly above the rest.

Has a family member or friend ever ask you to get your hearing tested?

Many people think hearing loss is not a big deal—“I just turn up the volume on the TV and have my friends repeat themselves.” In truth, even the partial loss of this essential sense can have dramatic and, in some cases, irreversible consequences.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. Like any other skill,“use it or lose it” applies to hearing. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation (a condition known as auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted— even with hearing aids. As if that wasn’t enough, recent studies have also linked hearing loss to an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. That is a lot to risk simply by leaving your hearing loss untreated. The sooner you get it treated the better off you are. A complimentary hearing screening can show you where your hearing loss is at right now. Contact a Hearing Healthcare Professional or your family Doctor to begin your journey to better hearing.

Q A

Summer is here! How do I stay safe in the sun?

While we’re very lucky to have great sunny weather, the sun gives out harmful ultraviolet radiation all year that can pass through clouds and damage your skin. Sunscreen should be worn on all days, even when it is cloudy, rainy, or cold. The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends using a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen daily. ELAINE & MIGUEL Sunscreens aren’t your only defense against the sun. Seek out shady spots when you are outdoors. Dress for summer with sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants or long skirts. Look out for these lifestyle habits and behaviours that put you on your skin’s bad side, too: Smoking can compromise collagen and elastin production, and your skin sags and wrinkles. Nicotine can stifle blood flow and deny the skin the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Smoking can also spark flare-ups of the skin condition psoriasis. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and flushes the skin with blood, and too much drinking may lead to the appearance of small blood vessels on the skin. Alcohol also dehydrates and gives skin a sallow, dull appearance. If you consume the caffeine equivalent of 4 to 7 cups of coffee, this can have a diuretic effect and cause dehydration. This loss of liquids leaves your skin thirsty and more prone to drying and dullness.

ASK A DENTIST “it’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine ... it’s summertime!” – Kenney Chesney

How poetic, and more importantly that Kenny Chesney recognized it is the smile that comes first. Your smile says a lot about you. How does your smile make you feel? What would you change if you could? Let us tell you a true story from Ocean Dental. Once upon a time there was a lady of about 75 years of age who came to our office for a routine exam and cleaning but did not smile. It made us wonder: is she afraid, maybe she had suffered great loss, maybe she was in pain, DR. BECKIE perhaps she had financial difficulties. All we really knew was that she came for her appointment as scheduled, paid her bill promptly, booked the next appointment with the doctor, and left. Without smiling! This for us is very upsetting, we are here to make people smile. What the doctor did notice during his examination was that there were a number of areas of concern such as decayed teeth, crowded teeth and discolored fillings on her front teeth. When she came for her next visit the doctor asked: How do you feel about your smile. She replied,“I hate it, it’s ugly.” She advised us that in fact her grandchildren had never seen her smile, she hated the look of those old fillings on the front teeth. Our first thought: tragic that someone goes through life not smiling because they hate the look of their teeth. When asked what if anything she would like to do about her smile she was surprised to hear that there were options, and we discussed them with her. Our patient proceeded to set up a plan with the doctor, who provided her with the care she had not received previously and created a beautiful smile for her. It allowed the beautiful person on the inside to shine through and present to the world the wonderful woman she really was. What is your smile saying about you?

Two gold, two silver for A Selects Burnaby under-18 girls and u-16 boys both win B.C. Soccer Provincial A Cup finals Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Selects showed their prowess at the B.C. Soccer Provincial A Cup championships. Select teams made it through to four age-group finals, coming away with two provincial titles. The Burnaby under-16 boys won a fourth consecutive B.C. cup, nipping Richmond United 3-2 in the championship game in South Surrey on Sunday. The first year u-18 Select girls also came away as provincial champions following a 3-1 victory over the Upper Island Storm. The u-14 and u-18 Burnaby Selects both took home silver medals with tough one-goal losses in their respective boys’ A Cup finals. In the u-16 final, game MVP Mario Greco scored a pair of goals, including the game winner, against Richmond. Anthony Prpic got Burnaby’s opening goal early in the contest off a corner kick header. Matteo Iuele was Burnaby’s tournament MVP. Marco Favaro also had a strong provincials. Burnaby advanced through a tough group, with a one win and a pair of draws, including an earlier 1-1 tie with Richmond. “It was a difficult tournament but we outplayed and outchanced our opposition in every game, including the finals,” said head coach Franco Iuele. “The team showed tremendous skill and character, and all 16 players played a vital role.”

Anjali Dhaliwal scored two second-half goals to pace the u-18 girls to the gold medal. Dhaliwal scored the game-winning goal off a flick-on from Nicole Bell in the 68th minute. A minute later, Dhaliwal finished off a movement created by midfielders Danielle Pietramala and Danijela Gordic with her second of the game. Giulia Repole tied the game 1-1 just before half time on a penalty kick. Burnaby keeper Alysia Mustard made a diving save off a penalty kick late in the game to preserve the two-goal advantage.

Team captain Anamaria Lukic also had a solid game on the back line. Mustard made numerous key saves in the Selects’ opening 2-1 win over North Shore. The Selects, who missed out on a shot at a Coastal Cup title earlier this season, lost to Upper Island 1-0 in group play. “They’ve worked hard all year,” said coach Ned Forcan on the core team who have been together for the past four years. “Every year, they’ve gotten a little better and a little closer, and it paid off. “That’s the biggest thing for me, to watch them grow

as individuals, it’s bigger than the game of soccer.” The u-18 Burnaby Select boys were unlucky to fall 1-0 in a shootout to Richmond. Burnaby had a goal called back in the 40th minute and, with four minutes left in the second overtime, saw a potential gamewinning free kick rattle off the post. Richmond eventually won the gold on penalty kicks with its ninth and deciding shooter. “All in all, the boys deserved the win,” said Burnaby head coach Joe Pinto. “But they just could not finish the overwhelming

chances that were given to them.” Burnaby placed second in the preliminary round, including 2-1 wins over Bays United/Peninsula FC and Kamloops Blaze. The u-14 Burnaby Selects also placed second following a 4-3 loss against the Port Moody Selects in their A cup final. Burnaby opened group play with a 5-2 win over Saanich Fusion and a 5-0 victory over Kamloops, before playing to a scoreless draw with Port Moody. Richard Culleton led the Burnaby teens with five goals in the provincial tournament.

An opening day loss to Prospect Lake cost Cliff Avenue United Snipers a shot at provincial gold. The under-13 Sniper girls lost 3-1 to eventual silver medallist Prospect Lake in the provincial opener, but had a clean slate the rest of the way, earning a bronze medal following a 4-0 victory over the Terrace Kermodes in Nelson on Sunday. “The Snipers were very focused and determined to put up a solid effort in the final game versus Terrace,” said Cliff Avenue coach Peter Battistin. Cliff scored four first-half goals against Terrace in the consolation final, including a pair by Sophia Lavigna, while great goalkeeping by Isabella Pauletto, who cleared a potential goalscoring opportunity in the first half, earned the shutout for the Snipers. Cliff Avenue also defeated host Nelson, who need a tie against the Snipers to advance to the bronze medal game, by a 3-2 score. Jamie Richards scored a pair of goals in the win. Sammy Gee, Mika Kurahashi, Clara Scaglione and Julianna Pathyll were Cliff’s top players. Mikaela Vianni, Marie Marcotte and Ruby Beach also scored goals for Cliff at the provincials.

Lucky Lakers win silver at B.C. lacrosse champs

Burnaby Minor peewee girls finished regular season play in fifth place Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Lakers peewee girls’ were all smiles following a silver-medal finish at the B.C. minor lacrosse provincial championships. The girls were a perfect five-for-five in preliminary round play, before dropping the gold-medal final 5-3 to Ridge Meadows at Port Coquitlam rec centre on Sunday. Burnaby, which placed fifth following the regular season, defeated the eventu-

al provincial champs 2-1 in an earlier meeting between the two teams on Saturday. The five-game run at the provincials, included a 3-0 win over the regular season champion New Westminster 2 and a 4-3 victory over fourth-place Coquitlam 2 on a pivotal Day 2 of group play. “During the regular season, they were all close games,” said Burnaby coach Clayton MacGregor. “I think (the two wins) made them realize they had a really good shot at winning a

medal.” Goalie Trinity Chow, who earned two player-of-thegame honours in the provincials, was also Burnaby’s Fair Play winner. Emily Kuhn won Burnaby’s peewee all-star award. Maddie Burkett, Sienna Basi and Kuhn were named individual players of the game in earlier matches. Elizabeth Chau was a standout on defence for the peewee girls, while three novice call-ups Serena Negrich, Natalie Burkett and Nina Peluso, all played a big

part in the team’s overall win, said MacGregor. Burnaby’s bantam girls’ team was blanked at the provincials , including a tough 5-4 overtime loss to Nanaimo on opening day. Brigita Cecic was Burnaby’s all-star award winner. Sarah Svetic was named Fair Play winner for the bantam girls. Port Coquitlam 1 shutout New Westminster 6-0 in the bantam girls’ gold-medal final. The PoCo 2 squad edged Langley 5-4 for the bronze.

Best silver for Canada

FirstWorld University Games medal since 1991

Meg Wilson helped make history at the 2015 FISU Games. The Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team forward, won a silver medal with Canada’s development team following an 82-63 loss to the United States in the gold-medal final at Gwangju, South Korea. Canada’s finish was the nation’s best-ever at the World University Games and first medal since 1991. Wilson, who will be entering her senior season in the fall with SFU, scored two points in the final. “It was a tough finish for us and this is the loss that hurts the most because of

the reward on the other side.They were able to get into the paint too easily, and we didn’t execute well at the offensive end,” said head coach Fabian McKenzie in a press release. “However, … a silver medal is a great accomplishment.This is a big part of the development stream in our program. Our mission was to help the athletes learn how to reach the podium and they accomplished this.” The U.S. led 31-23 at the half but Canada came alive in the third, going on a 10-4 run in the first three minutes to make it a two-point game. Canada outscored the U.S. 22-17 in the third

quarter. However, in the fourth, the Americans rode a wave of experience, using their size in the paint and outside scoring to build a 20-point lead. “We waited too long to fight. But when we did, we played very well as a team. We wanted gold of course, but we cannot overlook that we are second in the world for our age category,” said Adut Bulgak, who scored 15 points in the final for Canada. Wilson, a native of London, Ont., averaged 12.9 points per game, while also pulling down 8.7 rebounds per contest for the Clan in her junior season.

Second chance garners seventh-place ﬁnish

Simon Fraser University middle distance runner Lindsey Butterworth made the best of a late entry into the women’s 800-metre final and finished seventh overall at the World Student Games in South Korea last Friday. Butterworth ran the final race in a time of 2:03.96 to finish in seventh place. Kate Petty of New Zealand won the race in a personal-best time of 1:59.06. Butterworth was moved into the final Friday after Docus Ajok of Ndejje University in Uganda was disqualified following the semifinals. Ajok, who ran in Butterworth’s semifinal heat, had finished ahead of Butterworth before being disqualified. Butterworth, the NCAA Division II 800m champion, finished sixth in her semifinal heat on Thursday in a time of 2:03.38, more than a full second behind Ciara Everard of Ireland, the fifth place finisher in 2:02.10. Everard was the eighth and final athlete

to qualify for the final until Ajok was disqualified. The top-three runners in both heats and the next two fastest times advanced to the finals. After Ajok was disqualified Butterworth had the next fastest time, earning her a spot in the final. Canada’s Rachel Aubry placed fifth overall in 2:02.17. Butterworth advanced to the semis, finishing third in her heat in a time of 2:05.05. Earlier this year, the North Vancouver runner completed her senior season at SFU, claiming the NCAA 800m title on May 23 at Allendale, Michigan in a season-best time of 2:02.88. She was later named 2014/15 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Female Athlete of theYear. Butterworth was one of 23 women and 18 men chosen to represent Canada in track and field at the 2015 Summer Universiade.
