Zoning complaint launched

Thieves nab cell phones

By Jeremy Deutsch

The political party that challenged but eventually lost the last civic election in Burnaby has filed a complaint with the province’s ombudsperson over city hall’s rezoning practices. On Tuesday, members of the Burnaby First Coalition (BCF) announced the Office of the Ombudsperson will investigate Burnaby’s rezoning practices in response to a complaint from Helen Ward, the chair of the party. In a press conference outside city hall, Ward suggested the basic issue behind the complaint is that the city made changes to density and amended community plans without broad public consultation. Specifically, she said in 2010 the city passed text amendments to “create supersize density” in Burnaby’s four town centres. She also claimed consultation was to begin on the Metrotown community plan, but in 2011, the consultation was put on hold because city staff were too busy. Ward said Burnaby did not do the required amendments and consultations prior to allowing rezoning for density far in excess of what existing community plans describe. She argued the city was in violation of the Local Government Act and made the complaint to the ombudsperson. A spokesperson for the Office of the BC Ombudsperson told the NOW it couldn’t say whether or not the complaint is being investigated, citing privacy concerns. The BFC said the complaint is a direct response to the demoviction issues in Metrotown. Ward criticized the city, suggesting apartments in the Maywood area of Metrotown are protected under the community plan but are still being demolished. “I’d like to see a stop to the demolition of these apartments,” she said. “Burnaby has lots of land that could be developed without kicking people out.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he is aware of the party’s complaint, but noted the city hasn’t received a copy from the ombudsperson. In response, he said there is no basis for the complaint, suggesting the group is Continued on page 5

Burnaby Mounties are warning the public to keep their cell phones out of sight when walking alone after a rash of robberies and attempted robberies of the devices on the weekend. In all, there were five alleged incidents in a three-hour span where a group of young men allegedly tried to steal smartphones from separate victims Sunday evening, according to RCMP. The first robbery happened around 9 p.m. that night in the 9800 block of Austin Avenue near the Lougheed SkyTrain station. Police said a man and his friend made an arrangement to meet up with someone to sell his smartphone. After a discussion, the prospective buyer pulled out a can of pepper spray, spraying the victim and running away with his phone. Two suspects were arrested shortly after by police. An hour later, a group of suspects tried to grab the phone of a woman walking in the area of the Patterson SkyTrain station but was unsuccessful. Fewer than 20 minutes later, three to four youth robbed a man of his iPhone. In this case, police arrested three people, but the arrests didn’t stop the robbery spree. Just a half-hour after the third incident, another person was the victim of an attempted cell phone robbery in the area. The suspects didn’t get the phone in that case and ran off. And just before midnight, a man in the 6700 block of Sussex Avenue was the fifth victim of the evening. Police said four men jumped the victim, knocking him to the ground and allegedly stealing a number of items including a wallet.The man suffered minor injuries to his shoulder. Burnaby RCMP Staff-Sgt. Major John Buis said there were no arrests made in the final two incidents, but investigators believe all the cases may be linked to a group of young men. There also may be other victims, as the police recovered a cell phone but haven’t identified the owner.

The sun was shining and attendance was up for the 17th annual Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park Saturday. Between 4,000 and 5,000 people were estimated to be on site for the day-long

event, which is about 1,000 more than last year’s festival, according to Geraldine Parent, arts services manager for the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. “I think Colin James was one of the draws along with a lot of the other local talents that we had featured,” Parent told the NOW. “We

had lots of sales in the days leading up to the event because I think … you knew it was going to be a good weather day.” While the forecast had originally called for rain, there were no showers in sight come Saturday. Parent said weather can be a major factor in whether the show

is a success or not – that and who organizers book to perform. This year’s line-up included Vancouver-based musicians Rich Hope,Wes Mackey, Ben Rogers, Billy Dixon, Dawn Pemberton and, of course, headliner Colin James. Rounding out the musician pool was

Toronto native Lindi Ortega, the Como Mamas, Cyril Neville and the Royal Southern Brotherhood, Frazey Ford and Cecil DooKingue. “It was a really great day. We had lots of great music. Colin James put on a really great show to wrap up Continued on page 4

Main stage design adds a new look Continued from page 3 the full day,” Parent said. “It was just a really great vibe and atmosphere in the park.” New this year, the main stage featured an open backdrop so spectators could take in the beauty of Deer Lake while watching the show. “We used a new company for some of our technology requirements, and this was one of the options we came up with, and we were all just really, really pleased with the outcome,” Parent said. The new main stage featured two vertical screens on either side of the stage plus five digital panels behind the performers, which displayed graphics during

But the best part of the evening, in Parent’s opinion, was just as the sun is going down. “As it’s getting close to dusk and all the lights are going on and the concert is in full swing; it’s a really nice part of the event,” she said.

RCMP investigating possibly racist assaults Sardis Street just after midnight Saturday morning when a suspect came out of nowhere and began assaulting him. The victim, described by police as South Asian, told investigators the man didn’t demand or say anything and may have been scared off by

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties are investigating whether two assaults last weekend were racially motivated. In the first case, a man was standing on the street near Patterson Avenue and

a passing car. The suspect was described as a white man in his 30s or 40s. Shortly after, and in the same area, an unknown man jumped out of the bushes and tried to grab or tear at a woman’s hijab. Police said the suspect

also may have used a racial epithet during the assault. Neither of the victims was physically hurt. Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis said the investigation into the incidents is ongoing, but police don’t know yet if the assaults were racially moti-

Mayor defends plans Continued from page 1 confusing the two issues. The mayor explained in 2010 that staff came back with a text amendment to look at increased heights, and that the city followed the normal process, including a public hearing. “At that time it was considered to be a fairly standard issue to look at an increase in building heights,” he told the NOW. The mayor said at the same time there was a discussion of what will happen

to the Metrotown plan to review any increases in density in the area, but staff decided not to do a review because staff were busy. “That has become a mixed issue in their minds, the relative height and when the Metrotown plan would occur,” he said, noting a review of the Metrotown plan is currently underway. Corrigan also defended the city against criticism for its role in the demoviction issue. He said Metrotown al-

ready has existing zoning that allows multi-family units, arguing developers can demolish the buildings and rebuild within zoning and still make a profit. He said some have decided to wait while others have gone ahead with plans. Corrigan suggested developers and owners were waiting for the review of the Metrotown plan before tearing down the buildings and some of the units were spared while they waited.

that’s something different than just a simple assault. We haven’t had anything like this that I’m aware of recently, and it’s just very unfortunate.” At this point, the RCMP doesn’t believe the public is at risk.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Last call for comments on pipeline If you’re concerned about the Kinder Morgan pipeline running through Burnaby, this is your last chance to have your voice heard. The three-person ministerial panel is at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown this week, and the last day to attend is Thursday. (See page 9 for times.) This panel is what the Liberals have delivered, following their pre-election vows to fix the broken National Energy Board system.

We understand it’s part of a new, parallel process for pipeline projects already underway, and it’s not meant to fix the NEB – there will be more changes coming, we’re told. But even so, we’ve already heard complaints from community members and the mayor’s office that this panel’s organizers have not been forthcoming about the speakers’ list, making things a bit of a mystery. We tried to get informa-

tion on who was speaking and when, just to plan when to send a reporter, and we were told the same thing – the information is not available.That means the three days of hearings will be a bit of a surprise. What’s interesting is there are two sessions dedicated to local government, yet the City of Burnaby has only been invited to one of those.We’re curious who will show up to the other session, for instance.What

we do know is Mayor Derek Corrigan is set to speak on Tuesday afternoon, after NOW deadlines.We’re still waiting for that photo op of Corrigan throwing himself in front of a bulldozer to stop the pipeline. Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion, better known as BROKE, will be speaking on Wednesday.The town hall meeting on Thursday will include some residents from an east Burnaby hous-

ing complex sandwiched between two possible pipeline routes, and anti-pipeline activists have also been rallying the community to attend. One thing we applaud about these panel consultations is they are more open than the NEB hearings. While the NEB only let vetted participants in, these three days are open to anyone and everyone. That’s why we want to give you an extra push to

get out there and have your say.This is without a doubt the biggest project to impact Burnaby in a long time, and if built, it will be running oil through our community and driving up tanker traffic for years to come. So come on, Burnaby. Make sure you speak up loud and clear. And to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the rest of the Liberal caucus: we hope you’re listening.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Watch out for complacency

The recent week-long summer sitting of the legislature was another reminder that the biggest challenge the B.C. Liberals are facing in their re-election bid may be complacency. The biggest threat to the party’s hold on government is that those voters simply stay home next spring, thinking the election outcome is in the bag. Certainly, even NDP MLAs let slip a couple of times during that week-long session about how the B.C. Liberals were going to address a public policy after the spring election – prophesies based on an assumed B.C. Liberal victory. Adding to the government side’s optimism is the fact that the B.C. Liberal party is awash in tons of cash, while the NDP faces ongoing and very serious financial challenges. Unlike in 2013, when an apparent looming NDP victory convinced the business community to fork over some major dough to the party, nothing remotely like that is happening this time around.The party is having serious fundraising troubles (it apparently runs a significant operating deficit each month) and party membership is very low. As for the B.C. Liberals, meanwhile, the party’s own internal tracking polls apparently show it enjoys healthy leads in pretty well every riding it currently holds (the party doesn’t do province-wide polling; just the seats that are deemed winnable). It’s interesting to compare

the situation both parties currently find themselves in with the ones they were in six months before the 2013 election. Back then, the B.C. Liberals were a disorganized and dispirited bunch.The government was beset with internal bickering over Premier Christy Clark’s leadership and the party itself seemed incapable of running an effective election campaign. Fast forward three years and a completely different scenario has taken hold.The B.C. Liberal party seems to be in perpetual motion: nominating candidates at a steady pace and raising money at an even quicker pace. The party employs a number of full-time field organizers, who have been working those potentially “winnable” ridings almost since the last campaign finished. Throw in the fact that the provincial economy is humming along, plus the historical fact that the so-called “free enterprise coalition” has never lost an election in more than 40 years unless that coalition splits the vote, and a picture of near-invincibility starts to emerge. But keep in mind B.C. elections are almost always close, and any significant slippage in the B.C. Liberal vote due to complacency could be just enough to push the NDP, despite all those obstacles standing in its way, to power next May. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Stop tearing down livable family homes

Readers respond to MP’s ideas on housing

Dear Editor I want to thank all the people involved in the demoviction protests for helping the rest of us understand the enormous home displacement that is going on in Burnaby in favour of developing very expensive housing. But there’s another aspect to demolitions that needs a light shone on it and that’s the huge number of perfectly livable family homes, many with secondary suites, that are being demolished to build motel… demolished size single family homes. to build We moved to motel-size Burnaby 30 years single family ago and settled in an older homes. neighbourhood, a green street, that was populated by people of diverse incomes, vocations and ethnic backgrounds. In the last five years, we have watched one decent house after another be torn down and sent to the dumpster, not only creating unhealthy air pollution and unnecessary waste, but also depleting that type of housing stock. I would like to see city council do a study of how much single family housing demolition has happened in Burnaby in the last 10 years, as well as consider a requirement that purchasers of land have to re-locate viable houses rather than turn them into garbage. Further, it is interesting to note that Burnaby council is instituting yet higher fees for houses with suites to pay for increased sewage, water and garbage use. This seems blatantly discriminatory given that some new, large, single family homes that have, on average, six to eight bedrooms and as many bathrooms, do not have extra fees levied for this volume.

Kisai “Everybody yells at the (Burnaby) mayor and council, and that’s not fair...” Nope, that is completely fair, because they are refusing to do anything, and that’s par for the course because they refuse to play ball with anyone that isn’t NDP. The last time Burnaby got anything awesome was when the last provincial NDP put the first section of the Millenium Line in. Burnaby’s reaped the development rewards of this, but hasn’t given anything back. The time for building more rental units was when that line was built, but did that happen? Nope. Harmel Guram The main issue has not been foreign ownership but nonresident ownership. There is a big difference and the current BC government has slapped a tax on foreign owners which is 1 part of the whole issue. I guess foreigners don’t vote and so they were the best target after years of denial that a problem even exists.

Syrian refugees desperate for stable housing By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A group of refugees displaced by a fire in Coquitlam are moving out of student housing at SFU’s Burnaby campus, but they don’t want to go to their new temporary housing. On Friday, a group of several families was upset because they have to move from a student residence building at SFU to a refugee shelter in downtown Vancouver run by Immigrant Services Society of B.C. Five of 10 Syrian families were transferred to ISS’s downtown Welcome House on Friday, and they reported back to the remaining five families that the housing was dirty and overcrowded, with two families in each living unit. “Moving us to a dirty (place) now, kids will get sick.We have three or four pregnant women,” said Mohammed Ali, one of the Syrian refugees and a former family physician. Meanwhile, the mothers are bemoaning the loss

of everything they owned in the July 28 fire. Some fled with nothing but their papers, while some children were in their pajamas, without shoes. “We don’t have anything for our children,” said Manal Okla, a mother of three who is also pregnant. Ali’s 10-year-old daughter, Hala, explained how the children have been affected.

We don’t have anything for our children… “Today’s a bad day,” she said. “The people are upset. When we see our parents upset, we are upset, too.” The Syrian families came to Canada several months ago and were living in an apartment building in Coquitlam that went up in flames. The Coquitlam Foundation started a fund to help the families. Janet Toddington, chair of the foundation’s board, said they raised

$23,000 with more donations coming in.The money goes to the Coquitlam Firefighters’ Charitable Society, which is buying gift cards for the families.To donate, go to www.coquitlamfoun dation.com and click on the Donate Now button on the bottom, right side of the main page and specify what the money is for. The NOW contacted Chris Friesen, executive director of ISS, for comment, but he was unavailable. In past interviews, Friesen has said the Lower Mainland lacks affordable housing that’s big enough to accommodate large families, making it difficult to rehouse refugees. Chris Stephenson, the society’s communications coordinator, said the organization is trying to find the families permanent housing, and that ISS has put out a call for 10 two-bedroom apartments available immediately or by Sept. 1. Anyone with housing leads can email settlement@iss.bc.org. The society is also hiring additional staff to help.

Transit Police are praising one of their own for handling a violent situation at a Burnaby SkyTrain station last month. The incident began July 30 when a Transit Police officer and her partner were patrolling the Metrotown Station. According to a police press release, as a young man came down from the train platform area, the officer reminded him to tap his Compass fare. He ignored her and began walking up the stairs leading to the foot bridge to the Metrotown mall.When the officer then asked him for his card, police allege the man “adopted

man allegedly elbowed her. She fell down the stairs with the man and her partner on top. Police said there was a

struggle, but the officers used as little force as possible, speaking softly to him, asking him to relax and calm down.The man was eventually handcuffed and moved to a safer area. It turns out, the man’s mother had called police to say her son, diagnosed with several mental health conditions, had stopped taking his medication three days earlier and had left home alleging he would fight police if confronted. Based on the information, the man was taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The female officer was taken to hospital where she was examined and treated for neck and back injuries and eventually released. There will be no charg-

es due to the mental health status of the young man. “Our officers deal every day with persons suffering from various forms of mental illness,” transit police Chief Doug LePard said

Pipeline panel sessions on this week in Burnaby The federal government’s Kinder Morgan pipeline meetings kicked off in Burnaby this week. Unlike the National Energy Board hearings, these sessions are open to the general public.They’re the last opportunity to voice concerns about the Trans Mountain expansion project before cabinet makes its final decision in December. Burnaby is one of many stops during the tour, which covers communities along the proposed pipeline and marine shipping route.

There are two types of meetings: roundtable and town halls. For the former, invited stakeholder groups will speak first on specific issues; then the general public can comment. For the latter, anyone can comment. On Tuesday, panelists Kim Baird,Tony Penikett and Annette Trimbee were scheduled to hear from environmental NGOs and Mayor Derek Corrigan, who opposed the “deleterious proposal,” after press deadlines. Wednesday (today),

Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE), is scheduled to speak between 11 a.m. and noon.There’s also a public town hall from 1:30 to 5 p.m. On Thursday, Aug. 11, there’s an economic roundtable from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and a public town hall from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Follow the NOW for the latest coverage.We’ll be at the meetings, inside the Crystal Ballroom of the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown at 6083 McKay Ave. – TerezaVerenca

Communitynow HOUSING CRUNCH

MP’s parents lost everything in housing market Kennedy Stewart explains why he’s staying out of the real estate game first election as a teen and was hooked, but he’s also been wary of home ownership ever since. Even now, with his political career and a tenured teaching position at SFU to fall back on, he’s staying out of the housing game. When Stewart’s old Burnaby Douglas riding changed boundaries, he ran in South Burnaby instead. He and his wife sold their North Burnaby condo, and they’re not planning to buy again anytime soon. “For me, when we bought in North Burnaby, that’s the first time I ever owned a house. I never really felt it important to own property, but I thought maybe as a new MP that would be a good thing to do. But really, my preference has always been to rent,” he told the NOW. Stewart declined to say how much he spent on the two-bedroom home; but it “wasn’t cheap,” and they broke even after the sale. “Even with the salary of an MP, I felt uncomfortable with the amount of money we spent on our condo,” he said. “It actually caused us a lot of stress.” As far as Stewart’s concerned, anyone who spends more than a third of their income on housing is in trouble, and people have been buying homes as investments and getting in over their heads. “From my parents’ expe-

When Kennedy Stewart was a child, his parents bought a home in rural Nova Scotia. As the Burnaby South MP tells it, they were a middle class family that did nice middle class things, and everything was fine until interest rates went up in the late 1970s. “It was a really traumatic and shocking change,” Stewart said.

…the musical chairs game stops at some point…

His parents lost their home of five years, and everything was auctioned off. They moved to a backwoods hunting cabin, built by Stewart’s grandfather, and stayed there for five years, burning wood for heat and fetching water from a nearby lake. Stewart rode the school bus alongside other kids who had lived this poverty for generations. “And that affected me in terms of going from a spoiled rich kid to somebody who thought we’ve got to do something about this,” he said. He got involved in his

rience and what we know from other housing markets, and I’ve advised internationally on this, is that the musical chairs game stops at some point, and who it stops for is the people who are over-leveraged,” he said. Media stories on the frenzied real estate market contribute to panicked purchases, according to Stewart, who thinks there could be a correction on the horizon. “The thing is what you’re seeing in the media is a right-of-centre, free market discussion of our hous-

ing.You’re looking at people who always think you have to leave it to the market to sort it out, and that doesn’t work anywhere,” he said. Instead, Stewart wants to shift the focus to public housing and put the burden of responsibility on the federal government. “Everybody yells at the (Burnaby) mayor and council, and that’s not fair, because traditionally, in every other city in the world, it’s always been the national government,” he said. “We stopped investing in the

’90s, and now my constituents are feeling the crunch. We have around 2,000 coop units in Burnaby, but the building really stopped in the ’90s. If we had invested in housing through that whole period, there would have been double the number of places for families to start off.” Stewart also thinks the foreign ownership issue is overblown. “What I don’t like is when this dips into racism, and it kind of goes there pretty quickly. People blame

a certain culture for an increase in prices, and that’s just not proven by the data,” he said. According to the provincial government’s latest numbers on foreign ownership in Burnaby, there were 662 properties transferred between June 10 and July 14, and out those, 117 involved foreign nationals. That figure represents 17.7 per cent of the market and reflects roughly $81 million. Meanwhile, developers are razing low-cost rental Continued on page 12

Communitynow SuperWalk Parkinson’s fundraiser on next month Jennifer Moreau

HERE & NOW jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s annual Parkinson SuperWalk is coming up on Monday, Sept. 12, but it’s not too early to start collecting pledges. Participants gather donations and then walk around the track at Confederation Park on Monday, Sept. 12. Registration starts at 1:30 p.m., and the walk begins at 2 p.m. Money raised goes to the Parkinson Society of B.C., which invests in research and programs for people with Parkinson’s disease, a debilitating neurological disorder for which there is no cure. For information on the walk, call Linda Dawson at 604-298-2983.

HEART DONATION Kudos to the Pacific Blue Cross team that participated in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike event in Burnaby. Last year, the employee group won a Spirit Award from the foundation, and the prize is a donation to the charity of their choice. The Pacific Blue Cross workers chose to send a lifesaving automated external defibrillator to the West Chilcotin Search and Rescue in B.C.’s Cariboo Regional District.The defibrillator was presented in late July. The Pacific Blue Cross workers – with support from their union, CUPE Local 1816 – have raised more than $45,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

BUMBLE BEE COUNT Want to help scientists save bees? The Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count runs until Aug. 15 across the country. All you have to do is snap a picture of a bumble bee, note the date and location, and upload the details and picture online at bumble beewatch.org, using the project code “Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count.” Friends of the Earth, a Canadian environmental group, organized the count to help scientists figure out where bees need protection. As pollinators, bees are crucial for healthy ecosystems, and some species are already endangered. For more information on the project, go to foecana da.org.

Metrotown homes lost Continued from page 11 apartments in Burnaby’s Metrotown area to make way for highrise buildings. One of those apartments slated for demolition is Stewart’s first Burnaby home on Wilson Avenue. He moved there in 1988 after coming out West with $500 in his pocket, looking for work. He slept on an army cot until he could afford a mattress. “Remembering where I came from pushes me to make sure others have the

same opportunities I had to make better lives for themselves,” he said. “Without these types of homes, people won’t have the same chances I had.That’s not right.” Stewart said what’s happening in Burnaby is happening across the country: the standard of living for middle- and low-income people is eroding as the federal and provincial governments cut policies that help people move up the economic ladder.

Stewart plans to stay out of the red hot real estate market, and he’s not worried he’s throwing his money away on rent. “How you’re really throwing your money away is if you buy a house for $500,000 and in 10 years it’s worth $400,000,” he said. “The best investment people can make is in themselves. Education, skills, upgrades – that is the number 1 investment you can make because you can never lose it.”

Local support: The annual SuperWalk is coming up on Sept. 12, but it’s not too early to sign up and start collecting pledges. Money raised goes to the Parkinson Society of B.C. PHOTO FILE

ASK A PHARMACIST With summer in full swing, I’m thinking it’s a good time to get active – how do I start?

Some benefits of regular activity are better posture, improved self-esteem and weight management, increased Elaine & Miguel strength and energy, and reduced Your Pharmasave Pharmacists risk of heart disease. Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity weekly. The body’s preferred fuel is carbohydrates – these turn into glucose which cells use for energy. Eating a low fat, high carbohydrate food like crackers, or low fat fruit yogurt an hour before exercise tops up your body’s fuel supply for activities. Water is also important to any exercise program. Hydrate 30 minutes before exercising with a cup of water or diluted juice, and during with ½ to ¾ cup every 15 to 20 minutes. After exercising - drink plenty of water to replace fluids lost through sweat.

You will allow me to hold your hand as I help you create your new journey. Second is willingness. You need to be willing to do the homework I assign. This will create new anchoring moments and insights. If you’re ready to start a new journey, please contact me for a free session.

Buying a Home without Subjects?

There are many risks in doing so especially if you ﬁnd out later that the bank cannot lend you the mortgage amount you need, the penalty will be losing the HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker deposit money that you put down. My best advice is, if you want to make an offer without subjects, prepare ahead of time and get an approval before you make an offer. This means paying for an appraisal and inspection even before you make an offer.Yes, there is a chance you can lose this $600, but it’s better than gambling the $20,000 deposit or more. The property itself is the most important thing the bank relies on to protect their money. It’s their collateral. If the property does not meet the Bank’s standard and your employment and credit is good they will still decline you for a mortgage. Feel free to contact me by email or phone if you have any questions.

Mindfulness can treat mental health issues Local doctor says meditation can bring greater insight into your own mind, but it requires practice DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

After its release in 1992, the selective serotonin receptor inhibitor, Paxil (paroxetine) was widely prescribed by physicians to treat a variety of psychological conditions, including major depressive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, seasonal affective disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and social anxiety. It seemed like a wonder drug for psychiatry and a profitable molecule for the drug company. Though the SSRI antidepressant drugs are not addictive, once patients were taking Paxil, it was hard to stop. This particular molecule has a very short half life, resulting in prominent with-

drawal symptoms. Over 20 years later, one of my treatments of choice for an even greater variety of problems – including depression, anxiety, teenage angst, midlife crisis, anger management problems, addictions, chronic pain, relationship problems and general unhappiness – is not addictive and it doesn’t profit any organization or individual – just the patients themselves and those who live with them. What I recommend is mindfulness. Though it’s not a drug, to be effective, it has to be practised at least daily if not throughout most of each day. It may seem simple, but it requires practice to stick. Though many people think of mindfulness as only meditation or just being in the present moment, that’s just one way to start practice. Meditation can bring you greater insight into your

own mind. It can bring sufficient calm to make you less reactive to your circumstances, the words and actions of others and your own thoughts and emotions. Though mindfulness is based on the psychological principles discovered by

I am less judgemental and reactive, and I no longer grieve or resent the past

Siddhartha Gautama, who lived in what is now Nepal about 500 years B.C., it is validated by modern neuroscience. The Buddha was actually a historical individual who discovered the cause of human unhappiness: our aversions and our craving.

We mistakenly believe that happiness comes from getting what we want and not getting what we don’t want. We fail to recognize that everything is changing (our circumstances, our bodies and the people in our lives), and if we cling to that which is impermanent, we are bound to suffer from its loss. We increase our suffering by our reactions to life. We may be hurt by others, but we hurt ourselves even more by the second dart; our negative thoughts and ruminations, the stories we create and the negative emotions we fuel as we replay past harm. We can get stuck in a world created by our habitual harmful thoughts. You don’t have to become a Buddhist (I didn’t) in order to practice mindfulness. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of problems, including those I’ve

listed above.The practice of mindfulness has been shown to harness the neuroplasticity of the human brain. In other words, it enables us to change the structure and function of our brains, so that we can better manage our thoughts and our emotions. As a physician who has practiced mindfulness for over 20 years, I can confirm the changes I have seen in myself. I am more accepting of imperfection and more compassionate of others and myself. I am less judgmental and reactive, and I no longer

grieve or resent the past. I am more present for more time in each day and less caught up in the trains of thought that take me away from the happiness that is here right now. My next columns will show you how the attitudes of mindfulness can improve your relationships, emotional health and sense of wellbeing.

As long as one continues to seize opportunities to try new foods and preparation techniques, and keep testing their boundaries, then there should be nothing wrong with their final individual evaluation.

Pan Am experience a springboard for Jones

Burnaby water polo player aims to extend his national team experience at theWorld youth championships Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Fresh off a highlight experience, Burnaby’s Gareth Jones is looking to top it. The 17-year-old water polo player is hoping to use last month’s win at the Junior Pan Am Games as a springboard to another major competition next month in Montenegro.While there is no correlation to the two events, both different age groups and one minus the eastern European powers who have dominated the sport, the symmetry is nice. First of all, Jones says the primary initial task is to retain his spot on the u18 team. And he is working hard to do just that. “It’s a lot different than (the junior) camp, where the guys are a lot bigger,” said Jones in a telephone interview last week with the NOW from Edmonton. “Here, we have younger guys, there are expectations but right now it’s more That was teaching and probably my strategy in the classroom.We’ll best experience pick it up (this playing water week).” polo in my Earning a spot on the Canacareer. dian roster for the FINA World men’s youth (18 and under) water polo champiBig waves: Burnaby’s Gareth Jones gets ready for another big match during recent action with the Canadian junior team.

Booming bats, hot arms put Hastings on top Burnaby-Vancouver team plays gracious host at Canadian Little League championships

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Hastings Community AllStars are proving there is no place like home. The Little League Major Division squad has the task of being the home team in what is one of Little League Canada’s jewel events – the Canadian Major Little League championships – and they are making it look easy, having gone 5-0 to start the tournament. The squad of 13, which includes nine Burnaby players, looked the part of favourites through the first

five days, out-scoring the competition 49-5 at the Hastings Community Park, across from the PNE. Hastings, which draws players from the territorial boundaries of Main Street in Vancouver to Sperling Avenue in Burnaby, has pulled out all the stops to make it a terrific tournament for all involved. All but the scores have been hospitable. Monday’s 10-0 five-inning triumph over Moose Jaw, the Prairie region champion, was a case in point. Starting pitcher Stefano Dal Sasso tossed three innings of no-hit ball, fanning five, and gave way to

similar efficiency from Sean Coventry and Liam Lewis. Backing up the steady pitching has been the bats, which are channeling the 1927 NewYorkYankees. Nicola Barba slammed a pair of long balls and Loreto Siniscalchi bashed his tournament-leading fourth homer to power the offence. A lot is on the line when the dust settles and the final two teams of 11-to-13 year olds square off Aug. 13 at noon – the Canadian champion will jet off to Williamsport, Pa., to contest the Little League World Series. Sharp pitching and booming bats

have been a consistent theme for Hastings in the seven-team tournament, which continues Wednesday with the final round-robin match, against Quebec’s Diamond Academy, at 3 p.m. The All-Stars began their march with a 12-0 shutout over the Atlantic champion Sydney Sooners, powered by four long balls. Putting balls over the Hastings Community Park fence were Dal Sasso, with two, Siniscalchi and Liam MacLean. Barba fanned eight of nine batters without giving up a hit, while Siniscalchi finished off the game by Continued on page 20

Burnaby swimmer sets provincial record at nationals

B2-Byline

Building off a strong performance at the provincial Age Group championships, the Hyack Swim Club delivered the goods earlier this month at the Canadian Age Group swimming championships in Calgary. Buoyed by multiple medals from Octavia Lau and BrodieYoung, the Hyacks club posted the seventhoverall point total to join the ranks of the top-10, despite having fewer swimmers in competition than most of their top-15 rivals. Led by Octavia Lau’s three freestyle gold medals, including a new provincial record in the 50-metre race, the Hyack girls squad finished 11th in aggregate total.The result was even stronger in boys, where BrodieYoung’s five-medal effort boosted the club to sixth among boys teams. For Lau, the top time in the 50m free, at 26.72 seconds, broke the B.C. standard and was just part of a standout week which saw her overall tally put her third among all females. She also won the 400- and 1500m free races, placed second in both the 100m free, with a new club record, and 200m. Young, 15, was a consistent top-five finisher in his events, winning the

Serving Burnaby Heights

Life as it should be A Special Feature of the Burnaby NOW in partnership with the Heights Merchants Association

Gelato dreams for Heights shop Burnaby couple opens new gelato and pastry business on Hastings Street Giorgio and Daisy Barassi are living their dreams. A few weeks ago, the couple opened Nuvola Gelato & Dolci on Hastings Street in the Heights. The new shop specializes in artisanal Italian gelato and pastries, but the journey for Giorgio and Daisy to open their business in Burnaby spanned several years and three continents. Giorgio’s family ran a successful construction company in Italy, until the economic crisis in 2008. By 2010, he was looking for something new, and decided to study making gelato at the Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna. As he told the NOW, Giorgio wanted to learn how to make the desert in an artisanal way like “the old fathers made gelato.” He quickly rose to the top of his class, winning a school competition and a place in an international gelato festival, where he met the owner of Bella Gelateria, located in Vancouver. Meanwhile, Daisy was already involved in cake design, after studying in England. The couple, with two young kids in tow, decided to move to Chile with the intention of opening a gelato/pastry shop of their own. But after trying for years, the couple gave up. They decided to move to Vancouver in July 2014 and Giorgio would work at one of the two Bella Gelateria locations.

JEREMY DEUTSCH

Giorgio and Daisy Barassi recently opened Nuvola Gelato & Dolce on Hastings Street in the Heights. The new shop specializes in artisanal Italian gelato and pastries. However, it was always his intention to eventually go on his own. “Everybody knows that I wanted to open my store,” he said. In May he quit, and the Burnaby couple made the plunge to set up shop at 4712 Hastings St. in the Heights. “This is our dream that’s coming true,” he said, noting

he would think about the business as he passed by the vacant store on the bus on the way to work every day. Not only do the Barassis live in and love living in the Heights, they’ve been welcomed by the large Italian community in the area. While the store may be a dream, it’s all business when it comes to the product.

Giorgio noted the store only carries 18 cavours of gelatos and sorbets – all traditional cavours like pastaschio and hazelnut – made in small batches. “Only in small batches you can keep the quality high,” he said. On the pastry side, Nuvola makes custom cakes, pastries and frozen products.

Daisy explained she has the technique to make cakes with sorbets and gelato, something people can’t get anywhere else. “We want people to know we’re not just gelato,” she said, adding Nuvola is also traditional Italian café, serving cappuccino and espresso. Though it’s still early, it appears locals have taken a

liking to the new gelato shop. The store ran out of gelato on the drst day and has remained busy on weekends ever since. “That means people appreciate it,” Giorgio said. “The people come because they found a place with the traditional Italian pastry and Gelato.” – Jeremy Deutsch

Heights mural project inspired by inclusiveness By Ketty Zhang,

It has been a gratifying journey, being the selected artist in charge of conceptualizing Heights contributor and creating a number of public art pieces in the community. For me, public art is about Summer is my favourite time of the year, placemaking. Having immigrated to Canada with the early morning sunshine, music festivals, cool sweet treats and family camp- in 2008, my family and I spent our drst four outs. Be it a backpacking trip to an unfamiliar years in Burnaby, moving from house to land or picking up a new hobby, I always try house. Although there were many challenges in adapting to a new culture, getting involved to make every summer memorable. And this year, I am enjoying a truly special summer in in the community wasn’t one. We would the Heights – as the artist of two street murals participate in various community events and take full advantage of the festive atmosphere; at 4329 and 4331 Hastings, and one more coming soon beside the eastbound bus stop at the language barrier nearly never stopped us from having fun. This year, when the Hastings and Gilmore.

Heights kicked off June with Hats Off Day, and continued the summer excitement with Giro di Burnaby in July, I was reminded of the inclusiveness and vibrancy I felt in the new community when I was 14. I decided to respond to these feelings through my murals with bright colours, visually engaging designs, site-specidc optical twists, and a blend of nature and imagination.

Later in August, the murals will ofdcially be celebrated with the Heights Merchant Association Mural Committee members, HMA Board members, local RCMP leaders, merchants in the Heights, as well as the community.

Working on the street, I meet so many lovely and encouraging passersby each day. It makes my day when children gaze with curious eyes and are not afraid to ask questions, when working adults pause their busy
