Is city too lenient with watering fines?

Burnaby city staff plans to head to council soon with plans to tighten bylaws around water restrictions Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

With record dry weather and ongoing Stage 3 water restrictions, Burnaby’s director of engineering says the city’s bylaws need a tune-up when it comes to water.

City staff plans to go to council in the

near future to suggest bylaws around waterrestriction enforcement be tightened, Leon Gous told the NOW last week.

“We’re probably going to take a report to council at some point, probably even soonish, just to say to differentiate in our bylaw between the four stages and have different fines for them because at the moment we’ve

basically got one fine across the board,” he said.

The engineering director said he would like to see fines escalate with each stage “to convey the seriousness” of the issue.

Since Metro Vancouver – the body responsible for the region’s drinking water – started imposing restrictions this summer, Gous said the city has gotten about 140 complaints per day about residents flouting the rules.

In the week-and-a-half after Stage 3 re-

Just Play!

strictions were put in place July 21, the city fielded 350 complaints.

As of Friday, however, officials had written only about 60 warning letters and issued no fines, but Gous said staff need time to investigate each case to weed out “harassment complaints.”

“It’s a little bit more involved for a fine because we actually have to see the offence to fine,” Gous said.

Cyclists lobby for accessible greenway But MetroVancouver says widening park trail for bicycles would mean removing too much vegetation Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A Vancouver man wants a lengthy section of the Central Valley Greenway opened to cyclists.

The section, roughly five kilometres long, runs through Burnaby Lake Park and is part of the Central Valley Greenway, a cycling and walking route that stretches from Vancouver, through Burnaby, all the way to New Westminster.

“If they want a continuous trail, they’ve got to do something about that Burnaby Lake section, because you’ve got to go out on the road,” said Bill Corden, a retired cyclist who bikes to Burnaby about once a month.

Right now, it’s pretty exclusive to hikers

About six months ago, Corden contacted the City of Burnaby, suggesting a parallel path for cyclists through Burnaby Lake.

“All I wanted to do is put some pressure on the city to make it more accessible,” he said. “Right now, it’s pretty exclusive to hikers.”

According to Corden, the city was worried about the conflict between hikers and bikers and the lack of space on the trails for both. Corden said the city has “plenty of money” to add a cycling path.

The Central Valley Greenway is 24 kilometres long; it starts at Science World in

Vancouver and runs all the way to New Westminster’s Quay. It’s a partnership between the provincial and federal governments,TransLink, Metro Vancouver and the cities of Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver.

The NOW contacted the City of Burnaby for comment but was referred to Metro Vancouver, since the Burnaby Lake stretch is in a Metro Vancouver park.

“People can’t cycle through there, because the trail is too narrow and winding and doesn’t leave any visibility of oncoming cyclists, so there’s a danger,” said Jamie Vala, a park planner with Metro Vancouver.

According to Vala, Metro Vancouver has no interest at this time in widening the trail.

“The park is run by Metro Vancouver, so it’s our de-

cision,” she said. “It’s quite a sensitive park, … so widening the trail would mean removing a lot of the vegetation, which is a problem.”

There is another route some take along the south side of the lake, but there’s no cycling allowed in the park, period.Vala said cyclists caught riding in Burnaby Lake Park could get a ticket but would most likely be asked to walk.

Cyclists who want to travel the Central Valley Greenway need to detour down Winston Street, which runs parallel to the lake’s north side.

But the Winston Street detour is not that safe according to Dennis Hansen, chair of HUB Burnaby, a Lower Mainland network of concerned cyclists.

“You’re just riding on the side of the road,” he said.

“You’ve got all these trucks whizzing by your elbow.”

Hansen likes Corden’s idea of a new bike route and said people often ask HUB why that Burnaby Lake section of the greenway is closed to cyclists. Hansen suggested a cycling path on the north side of the lake, close to the railway tracks, which would have “little impact” on nature.

NATIONAL ENERGY BOARD HEARINGS

Want your say on pipeline expansion plans?

Deadline for filing letters of comment is now Aug. 18 Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Participants in the National Energy Board’s Kinder Morgan pipeline may want to take note of a deadline change for filing letters of comments.

The NEB recently pushed the date back to Aug. 18 from Sept. 3, just six days after the NEB plans to release the second round of draft conditions for the project.

“We expect six days should be sufficient time

for comment writers to provide comments on draft conditions in their letter of comment,” wrote Tara O’Donovan in an email to the NOW. “If any comment writers do not view six days as providing enough time, they can request an extension.”

The original deadline was July 23, which would have given commenters no

We expect six days should be sufficient time chance to offer feedback on the draft conditions, but the NEB moved that date to Sept. 3 after the City of Chilliwack asked for an ex-

tension. However, that Sept.

3 date was chosen in error, and the NEB’s position is it’s now correcting the mistake.The NEB is set to release the draft conditions on Aug. 12.

There are two kinds of participants in the NEB hearing.

Intervenors have relevant info or expertise or are directly affected by the proj-

ect.They have a higher level of standing in the hearing and can present final arguments.

Commenters can only write a letter outlining their concerns or support for the project.

In the introductory paragraph, I wrote, “Conflicting polls show the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP all have a decent shot at winning.”

While we take all polls with a grain of salt, I added Greens to that list, because the Insights West poll showed Lynne Quarmby ranking second in support.

Local kids experience the ‘magic’ of radio SFU’s radio station offers a week-long camp for kids Ethan Reyes

editorial@burnabynow.com

Local kids will take to the airwaves next week during a summer camp at Simon Fraser University.

The one-week program is hosted by CJSF, SFU’s radio station, and promises to show campers the ins and outs of radio, such as teaching interviewing skills, how to record and edit sound files along with providing “on-air radio DJ training.”

“There’s a sort of magic to radio,” said Gurpreet Kambo, one of SFU’s many DJs. One of Kambo’s hopes is that campers will come away from the program knowing a little bit more about the broadcasts they hear on the car ride to school.

“In the paper, it’s not hard to imagine how it came together, … but it’s a little harder to imagine exactly how radio comes together,” Kambo said

CJSF is a campus community radio station. Its specific broadcasting licence means that it has to abide by strict guidelines as to the content it can air.

We absolutely value the voice of youth, and it is very undervalued in mainstream media.

The station provides a spotlight for up-and-coming local artists as well as providing programming that couldn’t find a home on a bigger network, such as entire hours of content in Russian or Portuguese.

The radio camp will provide workshops for storytell-

Ideas for stories won’t be hard to come by on campus.With a cappella groups springing up in the library to lavatory sit-ins protesting the lack of gender-neutral washrooms, there’s always something going on, according to Kampo.

On the last day, campers will put all the skills they have learned over the week to use as they host a days’ worth of radio programming at CJSF. “We absolutely value the voice of youth, and it is very undervalued in mainstream media,” Kampo said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

‘Vote’ is our favourite four-letter word If we start pounding this message home now, will it have sunk in by Oct. 19?

VOTE. Just a warning: we plan to keep sending this message, over and over again, for the next two-and-a-half months.

Yes, the writ has dropped for the federal election, and candidates are all lined up and ready to go in Burnaby’s three ridings.

As of press time, all but one of the candidates for the four major parties had been named, and New Westmin-

ster-Burnaby’s Greens were expected to name the sole remaining candidate by the end of the week.

Now, as the candidates get ready to start their campaigns in earnest, the onus is on all of the rest of us – that is, the voters – to make sure those campaigns matter.

Get involved. Read up on the issues that matter to you and find out where your local candidates stand. Call their offices to ask them questions.Take their cam-

paign literature, read it, and follow up on any issues and ideas that interest or concern you.

Attend public meetings and events where you can find out more about the people running and where they stand on the issues that matter to you.

Follow the news, stay on top of the issues and be prepared to hold candidates accountable for the promises they make as individuals and on behalf of their parties.

Then, come Oct. 19, do the one thing that every single citizen of voting age should be doing: Get to the polls and vote.

We’re sick of the excuses we hear every time there’s an election.

Whether it’s “my vote won’t matter anyway” or “politicians are all alike, who cares which one takes office,” there’s no excuse to abrogate your responsibility as a citizen of this country.

With all the rights and privileges that come with

living in a democratic nation comes the responsibility to mark your X and help select the next government.

To be sure, there’s some argument to be made that the democratic system we’re currently working with is broken.

Let’s face it, it’s rare for the makeup of Parliament after an election to come anywhere near reflecting the actual percentages of the popular vote.

And there’s no doubt that when it comes to win-

ning elections, money still talks pretty damn loudly – too loudly, perhaps, for the comfort of most of us.

But if those are among your excuses for staying home, we’ve got a better idea: Find out where parties stand on issues of electoral reform, and vote for the person you think is most likely to make change happen.

We don’t care who you vote for.We only care that you vote.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

What’s ahead for TransLink?

The unexpected appointment of Peter Fassbender as the B.C. cabinet minister now responsible for TransLink has everyone guessing what he may have in store for the beleaguered transit authority.

Some attention has been focused on his prescribed solutions for TransLink’s many problems that he uttered when he was the mayor of Langley and the chair or vice-chair of the mayors’ council that was part of TransLink’s governing body.

But I’d be surprised if Fassbender hangs onto all of his “old” views when he gets around to figuring out which direction to head in.

In fact, given that many of these old ideas – vehicle levies, road pricing and increased tolling, higher property taxes – have been kicked around and ultimately rejected (at least for now), one has to wonder whether Fassbender is being brought in to develop a much bigger game plan.

For example, will he be paving the path for the provincial government to retake overall responsibility for transit in Metro Vancouver, and elbow the local mayors out of the way?

Such a scenario cannot be discounted.

Aside from the mayors’ modest accomplishment of agreeing on a multi-billion dollar “wish-list” of transit and transportation projects to put in front of the voters in order to win approval of a minor tax increase to pay for them, they can point to

relatively few success stories working as a group.

Clearly, the current governance model of TransLink – with a governmentappointed board calling the shots, with input from mayors – isn’t working, and Fassbender has signalled he will change it.

But I detect no appetite within provincial government circles to give the mayors more responsibilities and powers when it comes to calling all the shots on transit.

Many of the problems with the TransLink model can be traced back to Victoria.The provincial government’s decision to appoint a board to run things hasn’t worked out, and neither did letting the mayors run the show.

The implication is clear.

If the provincial government keeps shackling what TransLink can and cannot do, perhaps it is time for it to reclaim responsibility and control of its operations.

Given the failed plebiscite and the mounting frustration among the mayors whose electorate want more and more services but resist attempts to pay for them, something major has to be done.

One can’t help but wonder whether blowing the whole model up entirely and returning power to the provincial cabinet isn’t one of the options to be explored.

Opinionnow NEB responds on policing issue

Dear Editor I wish to offer a statement on behalf of the NEB in response to the City of Burnaby’s letter denying our request for supplemental police services, and some of the comments made by the city in the media.

As many of the 400 registered intervenors participating in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion hearing live in or close to Burnaby, the hearing panel chose to hear oral summary argument in Burnaby instead of at our offices in Calgary. This decision was made for the convenience of the intervenors and to encourage full participation. To be clear, this stage of the hearing is not an open forum for the public to present to the panel. This is an opportunity for registered intervenors to present their oral summary argument to the hearing panel.

The primary purpose of oral summary argument is for intervenors and Trans Mountain to summarize the key points of their argument that they want the board to consider at this phase of a hearing. No new evidence can be introduced. The hearing panel recognizes that there is significant public interest in the proceedings and has decided to live webcast oral summary arguments in both official languages. NEB hearings are often high-profile, and the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is no exception. It is important that the registered intervenors are provided with a safe environment in which to participate in the hearing. Intervenors have spent a significant amount of time over the last 18 months participating in the NEB review, and this is their opportunity to present to the panel, in-person.

We also want to be respectful of hotel staff and guests of the Delta Burnaby Hotel.

It is standard practice for us to conduct a security assessment on the hearing location prior to any hearing. We use this information to put in place plans to protect the safety of everyone involved. It is common for us to request support from local law enforcement.

To be clear, our request is not for the reassignment of police officers. The NEB’s request is for supplemental police services that would be paid for by the NEB. This means that off-duty officers, or officers from another geographic area, would typically fulfil the supplemental police services request. The NEB respects the decision of the City of Burnaby regarding our request for supplemental policing services from the RCMP Burnaby Detachment. We are now considering other options.

Craig Loewen, director of media relations and public affairs, National Energy Board

Renters are part of the property tax equation Dear Editor: Chiyo Bustin (Letters to the editor, July 29) is wrong in stating that only property owners pay property taxes, when the reality is that every renter also pays property taxes when they pay their rent every month.

Does Chiyo not consider the fact that the very make-up of the rent payment to the landlord is made up partly to recoup what the landlords are paying out in property taxes every year, and every time property taxes are increased the rent goes up for the renters as well? Landlords are using their property, or properties, to assist them in making a living, so any increase in property taxes or renovation costs, gets passed on to their tenants. So the truth is renters pay property taxes as well, but the assessment goes to the property owners.

Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

TRENDING

Burnaby riding now a federal battleground bill smith I think the NDP’s Kennedy Stewart was given the option to be the incumbent for S. Burnaby or Burnaby North... he chose S. Burnaby because he thought it would be easier to win...

AKA Burnaby North Seymour would be too difficult to win for NDP... this makes sense, on this point, I agree with Stewart.

Doug I’ve spoken with most of the candidates in the Burnaby-North Seymour and the one who impresses me most is the Liberal’s Terry Beech. This is a tough change for me as I’ve always voted NDP or for the Green party when I’ve disliked the NDP’s candidate. After speaking with Terry and dozens of his volunteers it is very clear that he is a serious,hard working, and fiscally conservative candidate.

I checked out his campaign office, mainly to hear Justin Tredeau speak, and it shows that he has been working on his campaign full time. It was pretty eye opening to hear that he left his teaching position at SFU after 5 years and his own companies (Hiretheworld. com and ScholarshipStrategy.com) to engage with voters like me on a full time basis.

Terry has a campaign office open to the public on Hastings street (near Willingdon) that is open full time. If you want to find out for yourself what type of person he is you can do what I did. Walk into the campaign office and state that you’d like to speak with Terry (if you don’t have time for that check out his campaign’s blog https://terrybeech.liberal.ca/blog/ If you don’t like him then I’d suggest visiting the other candidates campaign offices, SFU’s Lynne Quarmby of the Green party has her office just a couple blocks down the street! rfaris Three Liberal supporting, once again supporting the Liberal candidate.

I guess that means the Liberals will win! LOL Ravi I will be Voting for Liberal Candidate Terry Beech. It’s time for real change in Canada, and we need real positive Leaders for our Future.

We need Quality experience like Terry has to make Canada Economically Responsible, help bring back Environmental integrity, True Business Experience, A way to strengthen our Education System, health care, senior programs, support for our vets, raising the middle class, and focus on innovation and sound scientific research to move Canada forward. What Canada needs is a true Team, and the Liberal Party provides that team. And Terry is the Best Team Player and best MP for Burnaby North Seymour.

LouK I’m going with Carol Baird Ellan who is the type of candidate we need in this community. She’s thoughtful, intelligent, ethical and knows the law.

I believe that Burnaby North-Seymour will once again elect a New Democrat.

Carol Baird Ellan will hopefully be our next MP. She deserves our vote.

Continued from page 1 responsible for tasks like painting fire hydrants, are now working fulltime to respond to water complaints.

Despite the barrage of complaints, Gous said Burnaby residents are “probably no worse than the rest” in the Metro region.

“A lot of it’s a bit of education, especially when Stage 3 followed Stage 2 so closely,” he said. “The rules on Stage 2 were still being, I guess, absorbed when Stage 3 hit, so we think a lot of it’s education. So I don’t think we’re doing particularly bad.

I don’t think we feel that there’s just a general disregard for it out there.”

Special watering permits

for residents applying nematodes to their lawns to treat chafer beetles have complicated the issue in Burnaby, Gous said, with some residents calling in complaints about neighbours who have the special three-week exemptions.

Unlike some jurisdictions that simply cancelled all permits, Gous said Burnaby decided to honour all permits issued before the Stage 3 restrictions came into effect.

Metro Vancouver is not very likely to move to Stage 4 restrictions, according to Gous, but he predicts the region could stay under Stage 3 into October.

The city’s water infrastructure, meanwhile, is not

threatened by the recorddry conditions, he said.

His department has stopped flushing most waterlines in the city to conserve water, but flushing continues in certain deadend sections of the system where water quality is known to be an issue.

“From an engineering perspective, there would be a concern if we couldn’t do that, because we’d have health concerns, but, of course, these type of health concerns tend to outrank most other usages,” Gous said.

He said the city is collecting the water used for flushing in tankers and using it to water local boulevards.

Journey from ‘nowhere’ to Rolling Stone The Sheepdogs’ Ewan Currie takes time out to chat about the band’s appearance at Burnaby Blues Fest Ethan Reyes

editorial@burnabynow.com

Coming to Blues Fest this weekend is the Canadian boogie rock sensation,The Sheepdogs.

Formed in 2006, the band hailing from Saskatoon graced the cover of Rolling Stone after winning the magazine’s Choose the Cover competition.The contest was decided by popular vote, with The Sheepdogs coming out on top after building their brand with appearances at Bonnaroo Music Festival and on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The outcome may have come as a surprise, as the contest had never been won by an unsigned act before.

The band is now touring and reaping the rewards of all their hard work. “(The album) is good. It’s all done,” said Ewan Currie, who lends The Sheepdogs his dulcet vocal tones and his skills on the guitar.

Though Saskatoon might not have the same international reputation as musical hotbeds like Nashville for country or NewYork for hip-hop, Currie said that his hometown’s local music scene was a key part of the band’s success today.

“There were quite a few places to play and get opening gigs.You know, there’s

From Saskatoon to stardom: Canadian boogie rockers The Sheepdogs are headlining this year’s Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park. The festival is set for Saturday, Aug. 8, and tickets are $60 for a full-day pass or $200 for four. Check out www.burnabybluesfestival.com to buy tickets, or see the insert starting on page 13 of today’s paper for more details.

good people and bad people, just like there are talented people everywhere,” said Currie of not overlooking the talent in smaller cities. “It’s a pretty lively little

town.”

To the outside observer, it wouldn’t be outrageous to call The Sheepdogs an overnight success. From being unsigned one year to shar-

ing stages with the likes of Michael Bublé and Drake the next, Currie said the reality of making it big hasn’t quite hit him yet.

“You kind of have to stop

and take pause. … Sometimes you have to step back from the craziness.”

The band from Saskatoon continues to defy odds and surge onwards and up-

wards on the international stage.

Just as Currie himself said, “Bands can come out of nowhere.”

Artists reflect on colour in new gallery show TerezaVerenca LIVELY CITY

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Deer Lake Gallery is the site of The Reflections of All Colours, an exhibit by artists Tanta Pennington, Wendy De Gros and Jan Henry.

What’s special about this group exhibition is that the artists limit their work to monochrome white and use shades of a single colour.

“In this exhibition, the artists sacrifice their love of colour for a closer look at

the physical properties and histories of their materials,” according to an online description from the Burnaby Arts Council.

Pennington specializes in drawing, while De Gros focuses on mixed-media paintings and sculptures.

Henry, meanwhile, has produced balloon sculptures.

The gallery is located at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, from noon until 4 p.m.

Admission is free.

CAN’T BEAT THE BLUES The Burnaby Blues +

Roots Festival will take over Deer Lake Park on Saturday, Aug. 8. Now in its 16th year, the nine-hour event will have three stages and 12 acts, including The Sheepdogs,Terra Lightfoot, Ruthie Foster and Jesse Roper.

Single tickets cost $60 ($75 the day of), while a four-pack totals $200. Gates open at noon.

The park walkway is wheelchair accessible, and there will be special needs seating available on site.

Parking is available in the surface lot off Deer Lake

Avenue at the Shadbolt Centre, accessible from the east end of Deer Lake Avenue at Canada Way. Organizers are asking concert-goers to bring chairs, no more than eight inches tall off the ground.

Also, anyone bringing a cooler cannot exceed the 22 inches long by 15 inches high by 15 inches wide limit.

Just a friendly reminder that smoking is not allowed in Burnaby parks due the hot weather.

Unfortunately, the forecast for that day calls for a

90 per cent chance of rain.

If that’s the case, bring a raincoat and an umbrella to stay dry.

There’s plenty of fun for the young set Kids’ activities are always a hit at the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival (and parents can play, too) Think the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival is just an adult affair?

Think again.

The festival is a hit every year with people of all ages, from babes in arms to seniors.

Parents can enjoy a family day out at low cost, too, since children 12 and under get in free. (Note, however, that all children do need complimentary tickets: call the Shadbolt Centre box office at 604-205-3000 to arrange for them.)

Once on the grounds, there will be plenty to keep the youngsters in your life occupied.

Besides the wide variety of music on three stages, there’s also a family area at the north end of the site (near the Garden Stage and the West Gate).

In the family area, the young folks among you can take part in art activities, get their faces painted or get their hands on the always popular guitar-making craft.There will even be a play structure on hand to keep small people active.

Parents should note that no alcohol is permitted within the family zone, and children must be supervised at all times.

The family area is open between 1 and 7 p.m.

If you plan to come with small folks, don’t forget to come prepared – you’re en-

couraged to bring your own water (in commercially sealed plastic bottles), and you’re welcome to bring a small cooler with your

day’s food. Be sure, of course, to pack for the weather – so hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and jackets may all be required, depending

on the day. Savvy parents also often bring earplugs for small and sensitive ears – and, of course, blankets for chilling out.

THE SHEEPDOGS Hailing from the small Canadian town of Saskatoon, SK, The Sheepdogs won an international competition in 2011 securing them the cover of Rolling Stone, making the group the first unsigned band to appear on its front page.

The win, decided by 1.5 million public votes, also scored them a record deal with Atlantic, which offered up a new EP from the band, Five Easy Pieces, in August 2011.

The Sheepdogs built their name on hard work and determination. Having funded their first three albums and early years of touring on their own, this rock and roll band’s momentum began to build exponentially with the release of the 2010 album, Learn & Burn. The band would go on to win three 2012 JUNO Awards: New Group of the Year, Single of the Year and Rock Album of the Year. With a list of accolades including a self-titled album, produced by The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney and Austin Scaggs, this impressive the band is on the brink of engaging fans on a wider scale.

Harpdog Brown is a singer and harmonica player who has been active in Canada’s blues scene since 1982. Hailing from Vancouver he crossed tens of thousands of miles playing club dates and festivals in Canada, the northwestern United States and Germany.

Over the years he has issued seven CDs. In 1995 his Home Is Where the Harp Is won the Muddy Award for the Best NW Blues Release from the Cascade Blues Association in Portland, Oregon. As well that year it was nominated for a Canadian Juno for the Best Blues/Gospel Recording. Teamed up with Graham Guest on piano, his CD Naturally was voted #1 Canadian Blues Album of 2010 by The Blind Lemon Survey.

He was just awarded The Maple Blues Award in Toronto, for best harmonica player in Canada, 2014, and was honored with a life time membership to the Hamilton Blues Society.

Harpdog Brown is bringing the Travelin’ Blues Show. They lay down the early 50’s Chess studio sounds…Upright bass, low down guitar and greasy harp and vocals.

SIBEL THRASHER

LEE FIELDS & THE EXPRESSIONS

There aren’t too many artists making soul music today who had a release in 1969. Lee Fields, however, is one such artist-or maybe he’s better labeled a phenomenon. Since the late sixties, the North Carolina native has amassed a prolific catalog of albums and has toured and played with such legends as Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, O.V Wright, Darrell Banks, and Little Royal.

With a career spanning 43 years, releases on twelve different record labels, and having toured the world over with his raucous-yet-tender voice, it’s mind-blowing that the music he’s making today with Brooklyn’s own Truth & Soul Records is the best of his career.

NATHAN & THE ZYDECO CHA-CHAS

HARPDOG BROWN AND THE TRAVELLING BLUES SHOW

Sibel Thrasher was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, and now resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

As both a singer and actress, she enjoys an accomplished career in music, theatre, film, and television. In August 2004, Sibel was inducted into the B.C. “Entertainment Hall of Fame” and in “Starwalk” on the sidewalks of Vancouver’s “Theatre Row” for her lifelong contribution to the arts, and her never ending contribution to the community, and music.

Her extensive studio credits include work with legendary recording artists Roy Ayres, Long John Baldry, Donna Summer, and Linton Garner, and her live performance credits include tours as a featured singer with the and world renowned R&B/ Gospel singer Etta James.

JIM BYRNES & THE SOJOURNERS Jim Byrnes’ fame as an actor has grown immeasurably from his too-numerousto-mention TV and movie roles, highlights including television’s Wiseguy and Highlander series, and his national variety show The Jim Byrnes Show. Jim’s first love, however, is the blues. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. In 1981 he released “Burnin”, followed in 1987 with “I’ve Turned My Nights into Days” and 1995’s Juno-Award winning “That River”.

Growing up in a Creole-speaking home in St. Martinville, Nathan eagerly sought out the music of Zydeco originators such as Clifton Chenier. Later, while recovering from a serious illness, Nathan decided to dedicate himself to learning the accordion. That dedication blossomed into an illustrious career, which now spans three decades.

The music of Nathan and The Zydeco Cha-Chas is the expression of a remarkable South Louisiana family.

Dennis Paul Williams, Nathan’s brother, brings his jazz-influenced guitar chops to the band. Rub-board player Mark Anthony Williams (aka ‘Chukka’) is their first cousin, and has been with the band since its inception.

The eldest Williams brother, Sid ‘El Sid O’ Williams, is a Lafayette legend unto himself, and Zydeco would never have survived into the new millennium without him.Nathan formed The Cha-Chas back in 1985, and since then has brought his unique take on this regional South Louisiana music to all corners of the globe. From Lincoln Center in New York to The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Nathan’s music has crossed all barriers to speak to the very heart of his audience.

RUTHIE FOSTER Those who have followed Ruthie Foster’s varied musical history know that she can burn down any stage with her combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk and gospel.

Ruthie’s astonishing voice has taken her on an amazing ride. She came from humble church choir beginnings in rural Texas, followed by a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy Band, and ended up in Austin, Texas. Ruthie’s list of achievements include Best Female Vocalist in 2007, 2008 and 2013 from the Austin Music Awards, a 2012 and 2009 Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, the 2010 Living Blues Music Award Critic’s Poll for Female Blues Artist of the Year, the 2013 Living Blue Music Award Critic’s Poll for Blues Artist of the Year (female) and recent Blues Music Award wins for Best Contemporary and Best Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year.

A choir of up to 15 revived the old gospel spirit with songs like “I Shall Not Be Moved”, “12 Gates”, and “In My Time of Dying”. Slowly they evolved to a band of 9, committed to keeping the spirit of gospel music alive. Influenced by both past gospel musicians such as The Dixie Hummingbirds, Washington Phillips and Sister Rosetta Tharpe as well as current bands like The Black Keys, Wilco, and Calexico, the band is creating a unique style of blues, indie rock, folk, and bluegrass.

TERRA LIGHTFOOT

Whether you’re talking about her as a songwriter, guitarist or vocalist, one thing is indisputable: Hamilton’s Terra Lightfoot is a ferocious talent. Her songs tap into the raw emotion of hearts supercharged by love, lust, loneliness and temptation. Her playing melds expert finger-picking and distorted, hook-heavy melodies.

And her elemental voice commands attention and awe, whether on slow-burning soul ballads or hard-charging rock numbers.

On stages in France, the UK and across Canada, Lightfoot has performed alongside heavyweights like Emmylou Harris, Ron Sexsmith, Gordon Lightfoot, Sloan, Arkells, Basia Bulat, Albert Lee, James Burton, Whitehorse, The Sadies, Steve Strongman, Monster Truck and Daniel Lanois. She also stays busy as part of country band Dinner Belles.

JESSE ROPER

Starting the guitar at six years old, Jesse Roper soon mastered songs of heroes like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin by ear. Battling with stage fright, he was thrown out onto the stage with sweaty palms and a queasy stomach, which was quickly overshadowed by the audience’s overwhelmingly positive reaction. Incapable of holding back, Jesse always delivers the show of his life whether it be headlining at major festivals in front of thousands of fans such as Sunfest, Rifflandia and Rock the Shores, or touring across the country during his residency as a CN rail musician. Jesse has shared the stage with many great artists, awards have been won, but his musical existence is more than that; it is purely about performing, touring and loving it until the day he joins that great jam session in the sky.

COLLEEN RENNISON

There are so many sounds competing for our attention that it’s easy to get overwhelmed and hear nothing. But, every now and then, a voice comes along that cuts through all the random noise and clatter, a voice that makes you stop and really listen because whatever you were doing up until that point isn’t as important as listening to it and letting it take you where it wants to go.

Colleen Rennison has a voice like that. A voice that channels power, tenderness and a range of emotions that seem like they couldn’t possibly come from a singer who’s only 25 years old.

Colleen has a voice that can floor you, and envelop you, and bring all of the pain and struggles of your life crashing down on you like a tidal wave.

DEVIN CUDDY Devin Cuddy’s music has a style its own, one that shouldn’t work, but somehow does. His unique blend of New Orleans Blues and Country effortlessly marries the two musical ideals with a distinctive element of Canadiana so eloquent, that it leaves one pondering why no one has done this before. In Toronto’s rowing pseudocountry scene Devin’s new take on the genre pushes the limits of what people think they want to dance to on a Saturday night.

Eat, drink and be merry at the festival Whether you pack a picnic or choose from the food choices on site, be sure to stay fed and hydrated all day Let’s face it, 10 hours can be a very long time if you’re hungry, thirsty and tired.

Fortunately, the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival makes it easy to stay fuelled and hydrated.

First off, you’re quite welcome to come prepared with provisions from home.

The festival permits you to

There’s always food available on site.

Take a break: Six-year-old Sabine Peters (seen at last year’s festival) knows that sometimes, you’ve just gotta chill out. PHOTO NOW FILES

bring coolers (maximum of 22 by 15 by 15 inches, please), as well as commercially sealed water bottles and refillable bottles for use on site.

If you’re looking to get a little more adventurous, never fear.There’s always food available on site, with a

variety of vendors setting up their stands for the enjoyment of festival-goers.

And alcohol service (beer and wine) is available, too, provided you’re at least 19 years of age and can produce at least two pieces of valid ID (one with a photo, please).

For a little rest and relaxation, you’re also encour-

aged to bring along your own chairs or blankets.

If you’re coming with chairs, pay attention to height. Low-back beachstyle chairs, not more than eight inches off the ground, are ideal for the festival.

Higher chairs are allowed but must be placed at the back to avoid obstructing views.

Good eats: Visitors flock to the food vendors at last year’s festival. PHOTO NOW FILES

And, of course, there’s the ever-popular option of blankets (maximum size of six by three feet for an individual, or six by six for a

couple) – spread one out for a picnic, a nap or just a chance to chill out to the music.

And, should it happen

to be a hot day, don’t worry – there’s a misting tent on hand to keep everybody cool.

Store’s decade of success due to loyal clientele

By Tereza Verenca

the UPS Store adoat. The one hour commute from their Richmond home didn’t help either, she said.

“In fact, we thought of selling it many times,” Verdi, a biochemist by trade, told the NOW.

When Jean Verdi and her husband Bill opened the doors to their UPS Store in the Heights 11 years ago, they had their doubts.

“We didn’t know much about Burnaby, but then I did some research and found it very familyoriented, very helpful,” Verdi said. “I got to know some of the merchants here and they had very good things to say about this place.”

It wasn’t until Verdi began cutting down her hours at the lab to devote more time to the UPS Store that things got better.

“I wanted to keep it so I worked very, very hard to make this thing work,” she said. “It was a challenge, but I thrive on challenges.”

The mother of two admitted the erst three years were extremely hard for the couple, who, at the time, had to maintain their full-time jobs while keeping

Fast forward a decade and the entrepreneur said she has no regrets about switching careers.

It’s the people in the community and the relationships that have been built over the years that are so rewarding, she added, calling it “absolutely spectacular.”

There’s nothing like this (store) around here.

People just love it. They say, ‘Thanks for making my life so easy.’

Whether it’s printing last night’s homework or shipping a parcel, Verdi said the store’s

clientele is loyal to its core. Some of the mailbox renters have been there since Day 1, she noted.

When not behind the counter, Verdi is a “pretty active businesswoman,” working as an investor in the real estate market and in international trade.

“I don’t have many hours in the day,” she jokingly said. “At times, I feel at the verge of a nervous breakdown. Even at night, I have a note pad next to my bed in case things pop up. … But there’s nothing like this (store) around here. People just love it.

They say, ‘Thanks for making my life so easy.’”

Is your health care proactive or reactive?

DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

We do many things out of habit (because that’s the way we’ve always done it) or convention (because that’s what everyone else does): how we relate to family and friends, our routines at school or work, where we shop, what we eat, what we do for exercise, and how we travel from place to place.

We get into a groove and it becomes our norm.

Without question, we perform these activities in our habitual manner even if there are better ways of doing them.

Our habits resist change.

It takes conscious practice to create a new groove, but with effort over time, we can settle into new and positive routines.

But it all starts with a moment of reflection and a fresh perspective.

Is this the best way to act?

Does it reflect my values and bring me closer to my goals? Or is it wasteful or

harmful to myself or others?

When we see our routines in a new light and recognize a better way to live our lives, we can be energized to practice new habits.

How do you approach your own health? How do you use the health-care system? Who is responsible for most of your care?

Although most of us

When we see our routines in a new light … we can be energized to practise new habits.

would endorse the concepts of preventive and proactive care, both patients and providers tend to act reactively.

Reactive care includes going to a clinic or the emergency department for an acute problem, such as an infection, heart attack or stroke.

It includes seeking care when chronic conditions have deteriorated to the point that you can no longer manage at home.

We certainly need urgent and emergency care for acute and unexpected crises, but this shouldn’t be all of your health care.

Just as health is not defined as the absence of illness, health care is not simply the treatment of disease.

If your personal approach to health is episodic and reactive, you won’t be able to maintain wellness.

You’re more likely to suffer from the complications of chronic health conditions and require hospital care sooner rather than later.

While acute care is episodic and reactive, the alternative is planned and proactive care.

You are in the driver’s seat and you are responsible for the daily activities that maintain good health.

These include the four foundations of self-care: healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellbeing and healthy relationships.

You need to know your risks for health conditions based on your age, gender and family history; what you can do to prevent them, and what tests you need for early detection.

If you are diagnosed with a chronic condition, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic lung or heart disease, you need to know how to self-monitor your condition, take medication appropriately and how to work with your health-care

providers.

One essential key to proactive healthcare is a family doctor who works with you over time, knows your family and health history, understands where you are and what’s important to you, and partners with you in treating disease in the context of your whole life.

If you don’t already know the answers, the next time you see your family doctor ask, “Considering my age and family history, what

should I be doing to maintain the best health? Am I due for any screening tests?

What activities will prevent illness and promote health?”

Promising playoff goes unanswered Burnaby Lakers odd team out in regular seasonWLA tiebreaker Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Two losses in the final week of league play spelled the end of an otherwise promising season for the Burnaby Lakers.

The senior A Lakers needed just a win or a tie in their final two Western Lacrosse Association regular season matchups to ensure themselves of a spot in the playoffs – and they go neither.

Burnaby held a season series edge over the Maple Ridge to start the week but opened the door for the Burrards to sneak into the post season following a 9-6 second-half collapse at home.

On Thursday, with nothing short of a win needed to hold onto a playoff berth, Burnaby again fell short, losing 9-8 to the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who had already wrapped up the runner-up sport in league play.

“It’s frustrating to go from second place to waiting to find out,” said Lakers captain Bryan Safarik following Thursday’s disappointing loss at Queen’s Park.

The Lakers did not have to wait long to learn their fate.

A day later, the Langley Thunder earned themselves and the Burrards a spot in the playoffs following an unendearing 14-5 loss to the league champion Victoria Shamrocks.

Langley and Maple Ridge both earned a playoff spot ahead of Burnaby based on the league’s tiebreak formula of goals for and against each other during regular season play.

“We didn’t put it out there when we had to,” added Safarik.

Burnaby trailed New West 3-1 after the opening period despite outshooting their hosts 24-14 in the frame.

The Lakers outshot the Fishmen 61-39 overall, but New West’s outstanding rookie of the year candidate, Eric Penney, made Burnaby’s overwhelming domi-

nance of shots on goal look almost pedestrian.

Burnaby trailed 6-2 midway through the contest but only managed to claw back into it on the play of its extra man.

Dane Stevens and second-star Robert Church got the deficit down to 7-5 on back-to-back power plays late in the middle period.

Shaun Dhaliwal tied the game 7-7 on a power play from Church and Ilija Gajic just minutes after the latter set up Church for his hattrick goal.

But Logan Schuss quickly answered with a powerplay goal of his own and later Jordan McBride tallied the game winner from the top of the circle to put New West up for good.

Burnaby’s fifth-place finish was perhaps a predictable end to a season that never quite got off the ground.

The Lakers started off the season with a 2-4 record and looked well-positioned for a strong run to the playoffs at 8-6, before finishing off the schedule with just one win in their final four games.

The Lakers needed to look no further than its cumulative 136 goals for – a league low – as the main reason for its ultimate outcome.

“It’s a hard thing to get through,” Safarik said of the regular season in which Burnaby outscored a team by double digits in just four outings, while averaging a scant 7.5 goals per game.

“We wanted it, I want it more than anybody in this league.”

Burnaby got it done at the back end for the most part.

Wallaceburg, Ont. import Tye Belanger finished the regular season with a league-high eight wins and a fourth-best 0.804 save percentage.

“We played well, but not enough to win,” admitted Safarik. “I’m passionate (about the game). …

These guys want to win. It’s frustrating. … I can see it in their eyes.”

Senior wins second golf title

Vancouver club member wins wire-to-wire at Swan-e-Set Bay

Burnaby’s John Gallacher won the British Columbia Golf senior championship for the second time since 2007 at Swan-e-Set Bay resort in Pitt Meadows.

That eight-year drought came to an end last Thursday, when Gallacher beat defending two-time senior champion Doug Roxburgh by four strokes for his second senior’s title “It’s a great feeling to win this again,” said Gallacher, who carded a final round two-over-par 74 to finish at even par 216 for the tournament.

“It’s great to be in contention and then to win it.

It means I was consistent and it’s good to be consistent,” he added.

Gallacher was rarely in trouble during his final round, making par on 14 of his first 15 holes – his lone blemish was a bogey at six – before a gorgeous approach on the par-3 16 led to a five-foot birdie putt that all but salted away the victory.

After Roxburgh hit his tee shot into the right woods on 17, en route to a triple, all that was left for Gallacher was the celebratory walk up the 18th fair-

way.

“Winning in 2007 was pretty special and this one is special, too,” said Gallacher, who flew out Friday night to compete at the British Senior Amateur at Royal County Down.

“I played well and it’s a good result for me.”

The Burnaby product had a share of or was solo leader during all three days of the tournament.

After opening with a two-under 70 that had him tied for first after the first round with Summerland’s Len Filek, the Vancouver Golf Club member shot an even-par 72 during Round 2 to enter the final round with a three-stroke cushion over Filek, Roxburgh and 2012 champion Sandy Harper.

Roxburgh fell four shots behind Gallacher after a bogey on the third, but he got that back with a birdie on the sixth.

Gallacher bogeyed the sixth for a two-shot swing but would hold onto that margin for the next nine holes before pulling away on the final three holes.

Roxburgh finished alone in second at four-over 220.

“John played really well today,” said Roxburgh, who was trying to win a third consecutive B.C. senior men’s title. “He’s a deserv-

ing champion, and I congratulate him on his win.”

Filek fell out of contention with bogeys on four of his first five holes, while Harper also lost sight of

Harper finished tied for third at 221 after his final round 76 but salvaged the day with a birdie on the first playoff hole to get the third and final provincial spot at the Canadian senior’s in Medicine Hat, Alta. in September.

Harper hit his approach to a foot of the cup on the playoff hole.

Gudmund Lindbjerg had a steady front nine, making bogey at six and birdie at seven to stay within three of Gallacher as

they rounded the turn for the back nine. But three more bogeys on the back nine doomed Lindbjerg to a third-place finish at 221.

“John strikes the ball so well and I’m very happy for him,” said Lindbjerg, who also won the Best Ball competition with Gallacher as his partner. “I made some very bad mistakes and I didn’t play well enough to win. I am happy to win the Super Senior title again.”

In the four-person zone team competition, the Zone 4 Lower Mainland team of Paul Batchelor, Mark Spooner, Gallacher and Gary Ritchie overcame a two-stroke deficit to win by two strokes over the Zone 2 Interior team.

Zone 4 finished at 452, two strokes ahead of the the Zone 2 team consisting of Norm Bradley, Jeff Omland, Russ Bentley and Filek.

British Columbia Golf has a total of 27 quotas to the Canadian senior men’s championship to be contested at Desert Blume Golf & Country Club in Medicine Hat, beginning Sept. 1.

The top three finishers, Gallacher, Roxburgh and Harper, will comprise the B.C. team for this championship.
