By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A trial date has been set for a lawsuit between the City of Burnaby and a construction company over a

sewer project mishap that killed one person in 2012.

The trial date for the lawsuit between J. Cote & Sons Excavating Ltd. and the city is scheduled to begin on June 12, 2017, in B.C. Su-

preme Court in Vancouver.

The excavation company filed a civil claim against Burnaby back in December 2013 for breach of contract related to work on the city’s sewer separation program.

According to court documents, in 2012, J. Cote & Sons Excavating Ltd. was awarded a $1.12 million contract from Burnaby to construct 657 lineal metres of storm sewers, 453 me-

tres of sanitary sewers, 670 metres of laneway, 334 metres of asphalt curb and 665 tonnes of concrete paving.

Court documents claim on Oct. 12, 2012, the company was carrying out work

Homeless Society finds new home NewVista Society steps up to offer city advocacy group a new space

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s society to help the homeless has found a home of its own, thanks to New Vista Society.

New Vista, which runs a local seniors’ housing complex, is offering the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby temporary free space for an office on the care home’s administrative floor.

“We deeply appreciate this support from The New Vista Society and recognize this contribution as a demonstration of New Vista’s commitment to community partnership and public engagement,” said society coordinator Wanda Mulholland in a press release.

The Society to End

Homelessness in Burnaby first put out a call for donated space in February, and New Vista stepped up to help in spring.

New Vista cleaned the carpets, painted the walls and checked the WiFi, and the homeless society moved in mid-July.

“We’ve been part of the community offering both health care and housing since 1943,” said Darin Froese, New Vista’s executive director. “We just saw an opportunity to leverage some of the space we have and to make a difference in the community.”

The new space means Mulholland no longer has to work out of her home.

The new office is at 7550 Rosewood St. and is open Mondays,Tuesdays,

City firefighters get a new deal

Arbitrator gives them a four-year contract with a 2.5 per cent increase each year

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The contract battle between the firefighters’ union and the City of Burnaby that spanned the last four years is over, for now.

Earlier this month, an arbitrator awarded the firefighters a four-year contract with a 2.5 per cent increase each year until the end of 2015.

Jeff Clark, president of the International Association of Firefighters Local 323, noted the arbitrator’s decision was exactly what the union was asking for, and was also in line with other departments in the region.

However, he said members are frustrated that the union had to spend $70,000 to take the case to arbitration, let alone the cost to taxpayers.

“It was obvious in the arbitrator’s outcome that we could have signed that deal with terms

and wages 18 months ago and we would have been well on our way to negotiations for the next term,” Clark said.

Since the contract only runs to the end of 2015, the union and city are back at the negotiating table working on another contract.

The City of Burnaby and the firefighters’ union had been trying to negotiate a new contract for more than a year, before it went to arbitration in July.

The union had been without a contract since 2011, and the dispute created animosity on both sides, especially between firefighters and Mayor Derek Corrigan. At one point the firefighters staged a silent sit-in at a council meeting last fall, and this spring the union suggested Corrigan was behind the city pulling out of in-kind funding for its annual charitable ball over the dispute.

Corrigan denied he was behind the move, suggesting the

city wasn’t invited to the event.

The union, which has long supported the Burnaby Citizens Association and current council,

It was obvious in the arbitrator’s outcome that we could have signed that deal with terms and wages 18 months ago ...

stopped providing financial support to the party at the end of 2014 over the squabble with the contract.

The union also said it won’t be supporting the party in the next

election, coming in 2018.

Though Clark said he’s proud of his members for being patient and taking the high road – also thanking residents for the support over the years – he noted the contract dispute has taken a toll on morale at the fire hall.

But as the two sides begin to sit down and work on a new deal, the head of the union is hopeful and confident the next round of bargaining will be completed in a timely manner.

Even though the dispute was acrimonious, Clark suggested the relationship between the firefighters and the city can be repaired.

“We’re proud to work for the city and serve the taxpayers,” he said, adding both sides of the dispute respect each other’s position.

The NOW reached out to Corrigan for comment, but he did not respond prior to press deadline.

structure with a board of directors.

Shots ring out in city – second time in month For the second time in a month, shots have been fired in a Burnaby neighbourhood.

According to various media reports, shots were fired near a home on 12th Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Monday.

It appears one person was hit by bullets and taken to hospital, but the victim’s condition is unknown.

Despite repeated calls by the NOW to Burnaby RCMP Tuesday, police have offered no details about the incident.

The morning after, police were still on scene gathering evidence.

Just two weeks ago, shots were fired in the 7200 block of Arcola Street.

Police said at the time of the Aug. 11 incident, two men were involved in an altercation before the shooting.There was evidnce that someone was possibly injured, but a victim never turned up. A third person, possibly a woman, might be involved but that was never confirmed by police.

Trial date set in lawsuit involving wall collapse Continued from page 1 wall constituted a “concealed or unknown condition” and its lack of structural integrity was not discoverable through an examination at the site or in contract documents.

“Specifically, the base of the wall was less than 50 per cent of the width required for stability, and the base was buried so that its width could not be determined on examination of the place of work, and its width was not provided for in the contract documents,” the claim said.

The company said as a result of the wall collapse, it was prevented from carrying out the work for two months.

The suit claims the work was completed by April of 2013, but the company said it incurred additional work, extra costs and increased

costs for the work the city has failed to pay for.

The company is seeking a judgment for increased and extra costs due to the conditions of the wall.

In a response, the city denied the claims in the suit.

The city claims the wall, including its condition and proximity to the site was clearly visible and apparent to the plaintiff.

The response by Burnaby also suggests J. Cote & Sons Excavating Ltd. failed to comply withWorkSafeBC requirements until Dec. 10, 2012, when the company was authorized to recommence the work.

The city also claims the company failed to comply with the terms of the contract by failing to have full knowledge of the work required, failing to maintain and submit daily records in

respect to work it intended to claim as a change, and by failing to provide the necessary safety devices to ensure public safety at the site.

“The plaintiff failed to follow the excavation recommendations set out in the geotechnical report and failed to employ proper excavation procedures given the location of the wall in relation to the place of the

work,” the city said in its response.

The city is asking the suit be dismissed with costs.

Burnaby also filed a third party claim against Earthbitat Engineering Inc., which the city claims provided the geotechnical services to J. Cote & Sons Excavating Ltd. for the work.

None of the allegations in any of the claims have been

proven in court.

In 2014,WorkSafeBC released its investigation report into the fatality. One of the workers,Thomas Richer, was seriously injured, and the other worker, Jeff Caron, was killed.

WorkSafeBC’s investigation determined that both the City of Burnaby and the contractor the workers worked for, J. Cote Sons

Excavating Ltd., were responsible for the accident that killed Caron and injured Richer.

With the report complete,WorkSafeBC decided to forward the case to the Burnaby RCMP to have them determine whether or not someone should be held criminally responsible for the death.

City now Horticultural training spots safe for another year

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@b cnaylor@bur urnabynow nabynow.com .com

The provincial government announced this week it will keep funding 32 landscape horticulturist seats in the Burnaby school district’s community and continuing education program.

The apprenticeship training seats have been funded through the province’s Industry Training Authority since 2013, when the local continuing education program first added level 1 and 2 apprenticeship training for landscape horticulture.

The $36,000 announced

Thursday will allow the fulltime, six-week programs to run for another year.

When Burnaby continuing education supervising programmer Karen Flynn was first contacted for a comment for the government’s funding announcement press release, she

thought her program was getting new funding but has since learned the money will support the same number of seats as last year.

Though the funding is not new or extra, Flynn said it makes the local trades programs accessible to students, who without it would

Green leader blasts NDP, Liberals Continued from page 1 vision in a community,” he told the NOW. More specifically,Weaver was critical of city council and its ties to the provincial NDP, suggesting the dominance of one party at city hall is leading to what he called “collective groupthink.”

“This is what happens when people get into power too long; they start to think about issues other than representing the people,” he said, adding the NDP in opposition is not raising questions because they don’t want to criticize their own.

A number of buildings in the Metrotown area are slated for demolition to make way for new highrises. Changes to the current Metrotown development plan could mean the loss of 3,000 current rental units in the area.

The demoviction issue heated up in Burnaby this summer when a group of protesters took over a vacant building slated for demoli-

tion at 5025 Imperial St., while at the same time the city continues to carry out consultation over changes to the Metrotown community plan.

The Green Party leader was also critical of the relationship between developers and municipal councils.

Weaver argued there is an inherent conflict if a developer can fund a municipal party that then makes decisions on developer permits.

He said the Green Party would bring in legislation to eliminate corporate and union donations in both provincial and local elections and also take steps to eliminate political parties at the municipal level.

Weaver didn’t let the provincial Liberals off the hook, either, in his assessment, blasting the government for not having a provincewide affordable housing strategy, adding his party would bring one in if elected.

Also taking part in the tour was Matthew Hunter.

He lived at 5025 Imperial

St. before being evicted. It was the first time the Burnaby resident had been asked to leave his home.

Hunter found a new place to live in the neighbourhood, but he’s worried about being evicted again in the future.

“Look at what’s going on here, these buildings aren’t going to last,” he said.

Hunter wants to see politicians preserve the rental housing in the area and come up with a plan for new social housing somewhere in the city to make up for the loss from development in Metrotown.

Rick McGowan, of the Metrotown Residents’ Association, said he invited the politicians because he wants

to see rental affordability become a provincial election issue next May. “I’d like to see the parties come out with some platform ideas that will work,” he said, adding each community is dealing with the issue differently. McGowan said he also wants to see some accountability with local governments, noting campaign financing as one issue.

McGowan is also hoping to see the Metrotown plan delayed until after the election so more people have a chance to talk about it.

He said both the province and cities want more density around SkyTrain, but he argued in Metrotown the density is already high.

likely have to pay double the $2,000 per-course fee they pay now.

“Most of the students entering our landscape horticulturist apprenticeship program are either just starting out in the workforce or have been working at minimumwage jobs,” Flynn said in

the government press release. “The funding provided by the ITA offers a singular opportunity for these students, who otherwise could not access a trades program to attain a higher level of employment.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Exactly what was the point of it all?

One has to wonder who made, or how the decision was made in Burnaby’s city hall, to take the firefighters on during the last contract negotiations.

After four years of wrangling and veiled – and not so veiled – fighting words flung back and forth between city hall and the Burnaby firefighters, an arbitrator has, frankly, given the firefighters what they asked for four years ago. At

one point the firefighters staged a silent sit-in during a city council meeting last fall (see story on page 3).

Now, there might be some finer points we are missing – we haven’t seen the written decision yet. But the major factors such as pay increases met the firefighters’ requests.

Was this just a ‘let me show you who’s boss’ here move? Was it a way of making the firefighters work for

their settlement? Was it a message to the taxpayers that the city was not giving in easy to its old supporters?

And what city labour lawyer advised the city that it had a good chance of winning? Or was the advice that the city would lose, and if the city did get that advice, why did it ignore it?

While it’s fascinating to piece together the information just for the sake of discovering what sustains

Was this just a “let me show you who’s boss” here move? A way of making the firefighters work for their settlement ... conflicts such as these, the reality is that this cost taxpayers real money.

Legal costs and arbitration costs are not mi-

nor amounts.The firefighters spent $70,000 on legal costs. And then there’s the less tangible, but still important, costs in productivity

and morale.

What’s ironic is that now the city and the firefighters are entering into negotiations for the next contract.Yes, that’s correct.The decision was on a contract that only runs to the end of 2015.

Let’s hope saner minds prevail at the bargaining table this time around.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Environment not a priority Anyone who seriously thought the B.C. government was going to increase the carbon tax in the near future simply hasn’t been paying attention or else doesn’t grasp the many nuances that go into political decision making.

Last week, Premier Christy Clark announced the carbon tax would be frozen at its current rate of $30 per tonne of emissions, despite the advice of a government-appointed panel that it should increase steadily and reach $160 per tonne by 2030. As expected, that decision was condemned by various environmental activist organizations, but boosting the tax at this time was simply never in the cards.

First of all, an election awaits just nine months from now. Any increase in such a tax would be bound to have negative repercussions on various business and industries and potentially slow down the biggest thing B.C. has going for it compared to the rest of the country: the provincial economy and job creation.

As well, Clark herself has made it fairly clear since she became premier that she doesn’t share the same zeal her predecessor, Gordon Campbell, had when it comes to the climate change file. So her government is doing relatively minor things – such as increasing the number of electric vehicles.

Clark is very much focused on the economy and job creation (and now too on housing affordability)

and is unlikely to shift her government’s energy into other issues before the next vote.

As well, the federal government is contemplating the creation of a federal carbon tax, so it hardly makes sense for B.C. to move on its own tax without seeing what Ottawa has planned.

Interestingly, a new poll by the Innovative Research Group shows that when respondents were asked what they favored most – environmental protection versus the economy and jobs – the economy-linked issues came out decidedly on top (53 per cent to 42 per cent).

The gap was even more pronounced among those likely to vote for the B.C. Liberals.

The poll also showed that, by a very wide margin, housing affordability is the dominant issue on the minds of the electorate.

The environment and climate change rank well back in comparison. And this will partly explain why this fall you can expect to hear a lot of stuff being announced that is tied to increasing the supply of housing in MetroVancouver. Now that the NDP has created the stage for housing to become a hot political issue, look for the B.C. Liberals to take over that stage and elbow their opponents of it.

But talk about fighting climate change and boosting taxes to do it? The B.C. Liberals are quite willing to leave that one to the NDP. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Moratorium needed to stop displacement

Green Party leader tours demoviction sites

Dear Editor Anxiety and stress levels are rising as Metrotown residents witness the teardown of yet another building followed by the sights and sounds of excavation and trucking activities and the rapid rise of new condo towers that are advancing closer and closer toward their buildings. “Are we next? And where shall we go?” are the gnarling questions.

Watching the merciless extinction of a village-size neighbourhood, working-class families and singles, seniors and disabled people is heart-wrenching. It’s an exodus in the making. The entire densely populated area between Boundary and Royal Oak, Kingsway and Imperial is on the chopping block in favour of dramatic densification.

The City of Burnaby is sacrificing not only homes and hundreds or thousands of units but the livelihood of more than 3,500 residents. All these good people will get a rough wakeup call when they receive their demoviction notices and quickly realize the lack of alternative affordable (low-income) housing.

Suddenly disposable? Working-class citizens who have chosen this area for its affordability and transit and highway accessibility, who contributed to society, added value to this country, strengthened the economy, were avid consumers, paid taxes, raised children and grew older here, all these people are facing demoviction and will be tossed out with no place to go. In modern society, no one can function without a home.

What does this say about the city, its values and priorities? Burnaby appears to put progress before people, catering to developers and to condo dwellers that are not even here yet while discarding thousands of its residents.

People are not disposable items – they are living, breathing, feeling beings, but it sounds less brutal if you say “losing units” instead of “throwing people on the street,” right?

Mayor Corrigan, please, don’t allow demolition and displacement in your city unless affordable alternatives are available. Put even more pressure on the B.C. government to provide desperately needed affordable housing in Burnaby A.S.A.P. We are facing a humanitarian emergency – and it can be resolved! Start finding solutions.

What can’t be found in the Metrotown redevelopment framework are “areas designated for the development of affordable (low-rent) housing.” Why not integrate it in the plan? Why not develop this instead of waiting for the B.C. government to provide social and co-op housing? Not a hundred but thousands of units are needed to accommodate singles and families – now.

Disposal of residents is cold-hearted and cruel and should never happen (not in Bejing, not in Rio, not in Burnaby). Personally I feel Metrotown’s redevelopment is moving at an alarming speed and needs to be stopped or slowed down so that affordable low-rent housing can be built and provided first and to-be-displaced people can relocate. That, Mr. Corrigan, is what citizens expect from a great and well-managed city.

Therefore, I support the call for a moratorium on developments in Metrotown, stressing the urgent need for affordable housing to accommodate the victims of gentrification and to prevent further homelessness in Burnaby.

Erika Schinzel, Burnaby

Newwester The Liberals can’t criticize the Burnaby for demovictions because they are terrible on issues of social housing. The NDP won’t criticize Burnaby because it is run by NDPers, so they are protecting their right wing municipal brethren instead of the renters. Looks like the Greens are the only party that gives a damn about working class now.

Jack Burns Newwester Yep, I am going all Green next election cycle. These provincial and federal NDP weasels who back our perplexing right-wing BCA/NDP mayor will lose pathetically again. The Greens seem to be the only ones who join this debate on the side of the Citizens, and most appreciably with what appears to me a commonsense attitude. It’s not all about social housing, and not all about condo housing. Much of Metrotown is still defined as ‘affordable market housing’. We only want to maintain that character, we want to stay in Metrotown. The new living space in the high-rises serves investors, not us. These structures drive us out.

MetroVan shells out for office renovations Rick McGowan Metro Vancouver may have trouble renting out the rest of the building. Currently the building has two major tenants, Stantec Engineering and Hemmera Engineering.

According to the leasing site for Metrotower III, entire floors 8,9,10,11 and 12 are available for rent. Most likely they have sat empty since construction was completed in 2014 after being mothballed for 4 years due to a sluggish economy. Ground was broken on the development in 2008. Despite renewed strength in the economy, office vacancy rates are over 13 percent in Burnaby and the inventory continues to grow.

Clinton rally ‘pretty cool’ for city councillor MikeB Hopefully Johnston didn’t get too tarnished mingling with the Clinton folks. We will know he did get tainted if he opens up a questionable charitable foundation, starts making exorbitant amounts for short speaking gigs or installs a server in his bathroom.

City now Admissions freeze at Derby Continued from page 8 impact, but we are gradually building it up and we should be able to get back on track within a few weeks’ time.”

Besides the financial impact, Ballinger is concerned leaving up to 21 beds vacant means seniors who need them are stranded in hospital or at home.

But Juma said the freeze at George Derby did not

impact the health authority’s ability to place residents who need care in its network of beds.

“There was no impact,” Juma said. “Beds come up every day. Every day there’s movement. It’s a very fluid process.”

In early May, Kwan said George Derby was contracting out its nursing services because of financial problems and that the cen-

tre would need $1 million in extra funding from Fraser Health to reverse the process, but the health authority’s own review found George Derby was receiving adequate funding.

Ballinger said he met earlier this month with Fraser Health CEO Michael Marchbanks and asked for a copy of the review but has yet to receive one.

Creating a Buzz around Volunteering

Jessica Wall and Scarlett Poole are Communication Co-Op students from Simon Fraser University with a passion for Event Planning and the Not-For-Profit Sector.

There are no limits to the good that volunteerism can bring. This impact can be seen in the community, the volunteer, and even in the volunteer managers.

As volunteer managers ourselves, it is extremely rewarding to see a team of dedicated individuals learn, grow, and become passionate about helping the community.

the Canada Day celebration at Burnaby Village Museum, Edmonds City Fair, Burnaby North Community Fair, and the Korean Cultural Heritage Festival.

Our VB Hive has proven their capability in handling a variety of different tasks such as working with children, providing

inspiring, and just recently we had some of our Hive members write about their experiences being a part of this team. We have also shared these volunteer stories on our Facebook page, with hopes of providing motivation for others to take action in their community.

Additionally, we have received an abundance of positive feedback from members of the community who have taken notice of the Hive’s hard work.

Lindy McQueen, chair of the Edmonds City Fair Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, commented “whatever activity the Hive members were involved in, there was a total commitment on their part to ensure a positive and fun experience for all participants”. Lindy also went on to remark that the “Volunteer Burnaby Hive members of 2016 should be very proud of their accomplishments in making Burnaby a City of great people giving back to the community”.

The idea for starting a special event team has always been a goal for Volunteer Burnaby. However, due to lack of resources and time it had been difficult to achieve. This is why we feel very honoured to be able to put this plan into motion, with the successful establishment of a core group of volunteers known as the VB Hive.

The purpose of this project was to allow Volunteer Burnaby to establish a more direct connection to the community. At the same time we also wanted to give young people the opportunity to be a part of a team and build their leadership skills.

Though the idea of this team long existed before our work with Volunteer Burnaby, the VB Hive as it is today only began this past June. Since then, the VB Hive has hit the ground running, with over 20 members committed and more requests to join coming in weekly. With the quick success of the VB Hive, we can definitely see the potential for the future.

The members of our team have contributed to the success of several community events so far this summer. This includes

Volunteer Burnaby at Canada Day assistance to the public, and helping out with set up and takedown at the events.

During this time we have been blown away by the professionalism and maturity the Hive members have demonstrated.

We are continuously impressed by the members of the Hive’s eagerness to go the extra mile. So much as starting as early as 7am to set up for our event at Edmonds this past July. These youth never complain and are constantly looking for opportunities to take a leadership role.

Their attitude towards volunteering is

In particular, there was an inspiring piece written by dedicated Hive member Kayla Vo. Kayla has chosen to share her Hive experience with us, as well as the importance of volunteerism. In her article Kayla states: “Volunteering with this organization was such an amazing experience that I would gladly do again. I developed a greater sense of what simple services and events could bring together the wonderful community of Burnaby.

The people I’ve met, the friends that have been made, and the experiences I gained were truly valuable.”

A SPECIAL THANK YOU

Shown from left to right are: Scarlett Poole, Tam Pham and Jessica Wall

The staff at Volunteer Burnaby would like to extend a special thank you to SFU co-op students Scarlett Poole, Tam Pham and Jessica Wall. These three bright, young students injected an enormous amount of value and energy into their positions this summer. Scarlett as the Volunteer Burnaby Online Curriculum Coordinator, Jessica as the Community Special Events Coordinator and Tam as the Volunteer Grandparents Program Assistant. Their intelligence, creativity and kindness will be truly missed, and we are confident that they will all achieve every measure of success in the future.

. . .you’ll be glad you did

VOLUNTEER BURNABY

Although this Special Event Team is still in its infancy, there is no doubt in our minds that the Hive will grow in numbers. This will allow Volunteer Burnaby to become involved in even more events to come. It is the ability to create a lasting impact in the community that is the cornerstone of the VB Hive. We are very appreciative of the commitment of the individuals on this team and look forward to what lies ahead.

Inconceivable win for local filmmaker Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby filmmaker and his “baby mama” are celebrating this week after winning $50,000 from STORYHIVE, a TELUS initiative that awards grants to emerging content creators in Western Canada.

Joel Ashton McCarthy will use the money to create five more episodes of the web series Inconceivable, which is based on McCarthy’s life, specifically finding out he and friend Rachel Kirkpatrick are pregnant. “Josh” is a career-obsessed commitment-phobe while “Rita” identifies as a “strong, independent lesbian.”The news comes after a broken condom and a failed morning-after pill.

Earlier this year, STORY HIVE awarded the pair $10,000 to produce a 10-minute pilot episode.

At the time, McCarthy was very hopeful about going further and winning the top prize so they could continue filming.

“I thought there were a few front-runners, but I definitely thought we had a chance, which made it all

the more intense leading up to it,” he told the NOW, adding the final decision was a result of a vote and a jury of television experts. “It’s very exciting news.We’re all still, like, super giddy, and it’s still setting in. ” The storyline’s raw honesty is what McCarthy believes resonated with viewers.

A lot of millennials feel they’re illprepared to have children.

“A lot of millennials feel they’re ill-prepared to have children. It’s next to impossible to buy a home these days; it’s next to impossible just to take care of yourself the way society is structured now,” the 25-year-old explained. “There’s a lot of fear of having to take care of another human being, especially when it’s not in your plan. Both her and I thought it would be some-

thing that would happen to us more in our 30s.”

STORYHIVE has given the writers until April to complete the remaining episodes, which cover the first trimester of their pregnancy. After that, the goal is to eventually bring the show to a larger TV audience.

“We have so, so much content,” said McCarthy. “Having to make that first episode only 10 minutes long was the hardest aspect of this project.We couldn’t write scripts that were short.”

Meanwhile, with Kirkpatrick’s due date looming – somewhere around Sept. 17 – McCarthy noted the journey so far has been unique, scary and a life-changing experience.

Asked what the couple’s status is, whether they’ve decided on co-parenting or being together in a romantic relationship, the local moviemaker didn’t want to say.

“You’ll have to watch more of the show,” he said with a laugh, adding that “quite a lot can happen in seven months.”

Say what? Inconceivable is based on co-writers Joel McCarthy and Rachel Kirkpatrick’s surprise revelation – they’re pregnant. McCarthy, who’s from Burnaby, won a $50,000 STORYHIVE grant to create episodes of his web series. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Take in an art show or enjoy a Sunday concert Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Art lovers, have you stopped in to Deer Lake Gallery for the summer exhibition yet? Between Land and Sky, which features work by many members of the Vancouver Sketch Club, is running until Sept. 3.

The club was formed in 1952 by the then-curator of the Vancouver Art Gallery as a place for downtown businessmen to get together to sketch and socialize. It’s since expanded its focus – yes, women are now members – and sketching is just a small part of its work.

Watercolour, oils and acrylics are among the mediums that members use in their depictions of everyday live and the “seemingly mundane,” as a write-up about the show notes.

Artists in the show include Biluvia Freigang, Claudette Fleming, Elsa Hubatka Lange, Eva Wideman, Judith Fair-

wood, Maria Carmila de Menyhurt, Monique Terrillon, Piroj Amrolia, Sonia Mocnik,Taylore Co and Zenobia Turnbull.

Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

ONE MORE SUMMER SUNDAY CONCERT If you haven’t enjoyed the city’s Summer Sunday concert series yet, you still have one more chance.

On Sunday, Aug. 28 you can take in free performances by Hang Johnny, on hang drum, at 6 p.m. and by the Ruffled Feathers folk-chamber pop group at 7 p.m.

The performances run at Civic Square, next to the Metrotown branch of Burnaby Public Library at Kingsborough and McKay. ART FOR WEE FOLK Looking for something to do with the small folks in your house?

Be sure to check out the offerings from the Burnaby

Art Gallery.

The gallery offers a number of options for young artists – starting as young as two years old.

For the two-to-five crowd, there’s Imagination Station and Artful Duo, both of which are parent participation courses. For the fourto-six set and the six-to-nine set, there’s Little Art Engineers, Adventures in Printmaking, Holiday Art Cards and the Puppet Lab. Classes are offered at a variety of times, and all prices are highly affordable (starting as low as $24.05 for four sessions).

You can find out all the details in the gallery’s fallwinter brochure, available at www.burnabyartgallery.ca.

Roughly 400 people attended Bill Der’s Answering the Call event atVancouver’s Pink Pearl Restaurant on Aug. 21, almost double the attendance expected.

“I’m speechless. It was phenomenal,” Der told the NOW. “Our target was 25 tables, 250 people.Then it got blown out of the water.

We had about 38 tables in

total.”

On Sept. 10, the local resident, who was diagnosed with glaucoma in 1975 and was legally blind by ’86, will begin an eight-day hike to the top of “Kili” with his son Spencer and two others.The Der family hopes to raise $15,000 for the Down Syndrome Research Foundation and another $15,000 for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Sunday’s fundraiser, which included karaoke by donation, a 50-50 raffle and a T-shirt sale, has put them well past the halfway mark, Der noted, adding one anonymous donor wrote a cheque for $5,000.

HELP KIDS GET READY FOR FALL SPORTS SEASON Summer is a season of relaxation, especially for school-aged children who are not yet old enough to work. Such youngsters no doubt enjoy the chance to spend summer days lounging poolside or at the beach, all without a care in the world or any homework to complete.

Though summer is synonymous with R&R, parents of young athletes who hope to compete in scholastic athletics when the school year begins in autumn may need to take steps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk of injury once the curtain comes up on fall sports season.

1.

Examine and replace equipment if necessary. The right equipment can protect kids from injury and help them realize their full athletic potential. But damaged or outdated equipment can increase kids’ risk of injury.

Examine kids’ equipment long before fall sports season begins so you have time to bargain hunt should anything need to be replaced.

2.

Schedule a physical for your child. Many school districts mandate that athletes receive and pass physicals before they can compete. Speak with the athletic director at your child’s school to learn the guidelines that govern athletic physicals.

The physical will need to be conducted by a predetermined date, but you may also need the physical to be conducted after a certain date for it to be considered valid. Speak with your child’s physician if any problems are found during the physical.

3.

Let kids heal. Kids’ schedules are busier than ever before, and many youngsters play several sports during the school year. Summer vacation may be the only extended period all year that youngsters’ bodies get to heal.

While it’s important that kids stay physically active throughout the summer, make sure they don’t overdo it, as you should emphasize the importance of rest.

4.

Gradually get back in the swing of things. While rest gives kids’ bodies a chance to heal and develop, it’s important

that young athletes stay in shape over the summer. As the fall sports season draws near, help kids gradually get back in the swing of things. Tryouts tend to be physically demanding, so kids who have not lifted a finger all summer may be at risk of injury or missing the cut. Let kids ease back into regular exercise to make sure they are not starting from scratch come their first tryout.

5.

Speak with coaches. Coaches can be great assets to parents who want to make sure their youngsters enjoy the summer without sacrificing their chances of making the team in the fall. Speak with kids’ coaches to determine if there is any area your son or daughter can work on over the summer to improve his or her chances of making the team. Make sure kids are the ones leading the charge to improve their games; otherwise, they may feel pressured into doing so and that can take away the fun of playing sports.

Scholastic athletes should take advantage of the opportunity to relax and recover that summer presents. But athletes who hope to compete in the fall can still work with their parents to ensure they’re ready once the school year and sports season begins. - MC

Workers clean up shoreline the ditches surrounding ABC’s facility feed into Byrne Creek. For more than 10 years, employees at ABC have been doing their part to keep the water clean of debris and garbage, she added.

“It’s kind of unbelievable the amount of garbage,” Bichin said.

One of the Canadian Shoreline Cleanup requirements is to document and count every item collected during the event. Some of the most common discarded items included cigarette butts, more than 460 were picked up, and coffee cups, according to Bichin.

A dead frog, a car mat, an umbrella and hundreds of cigarette butts were among the items cleared out of a ditch earlier this month.

A group of 11 employees from ABC Recycling and Covanta set out two weeks ago to clean up the waterway surrounding the ABC Recycling plant on Meadow Avenue, south of Marine Way, as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, according to Karen Bichin, community relations manager at ABC Recycling.

Choose to see your way towards a happier life DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Though there are many exceptions, and you can choose to be cranky in your own old age, for most of us, there is a general increase in happiness with the passage of time.

In young adulthood, we demand more of the world and are more discontented.

From midlife to our golden years, more of us are accepting of what we cannot change and appreciate what we do have.

Acceptance is not the same as resignation or giving up.

How can this be?

In youth, we have health, energy, opportunity and adventure ahead of us.

With age, we lose much of that, and our remaining days of life are more clearly limited; we seem to be losing much of what popular culture values. How can we become happier as we age?

Couples who stay together over many decades also tend to be more content.

If we’re no longer spring chickens, do we realize that we can no longer do any better? Is this due to a sense of resignation?

The answer lies in the wisdom of acceptance.

We all want to be happy.We naturally enjoy the pleasant – nice meals, parties, fancy new toys and other pleasurable experiences.We avoid the unpleasant – work, boredom, difficult relationships, pain and unpleasant emotions.

Most of us come to believe that we will be happiest if we can get (and hold on to) all that we want and avoid all that we don’t want.

We don’t realize that an essential feature of life is change.

Our shiny new toys will become tarnished, broken or lost. Every relationship must change and end. Every body ages, and illness is not always avoidable. If we hold on to our youthful notions of happiness, we are bound to be disappointed and forever wanting.

Acceptance is not the same as resignation or giving up.

American theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr wrote his Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

We can accept the reality of today, and accept the challenge to make the most of what we have.

If you enter into a relationship with the intent of changing the other, you commit yourself to futile struggle. Alternatively, you

can love the people you live with unconditionally, accept them as they are, and both see and nurture the best in them.

By our very natures, we are imperfect and we each have habits conditioned from the past.With insight and compassion, we can be more lovingly accepting of others (and ourselves) just as we are.

You don’t have to wait for midlife to adopt a healthier and happier approach to life. Radical acceptance is one of the foundations of mindfulness.This attitude shift can be strengthened through daily practice.We can create a new habit of happiness.

We can catch ourselves when we fall into the trap of “if only” thinking, e.g. “I

Hastings feel Series highs, lows Canadian champions exitWorld Series with 1-2 record

The Hastings All-Stars have seen the best of both worlds at the Little League World Series.

The B.C. major champions enjoyed one breakthrough, but couldn’t reach the second round at the Williamsport tourney, after getting bounced in Tuesday’s 7-1 loss to Mexico.

The Vancouver squad of 11-13 year olds – featuring 10 east Burnaby boys – will return home from Pennsylvania with some great stories and terrific memories on a whirlwind season.

It may just take a little time to absorb them all.

“They’ve had the time of their lives,” remarked manager Vito Bordignon. “And over the next week they’ll get to hang out with their new friends that they’ve made from all over the world. It’s a wonderful experience just being here. “ Tuesday’s loss was of the must-win variety, and saw Mexico take a 1-0 lead in the first and expand it with four runs in the third.

The Canadian champions put their lone run on the board in the top of the fourth, after going hitless over three innings against starter Victor Juarez.

“We didn’t hit the ball very well.We just couldn’t hit today and we were really frustrated by their pitching,” said Bordignon. “They’re very disappointed in the loss.We didn’t have extremely high expectations, but once you’re here you get those good feelings. And then after the first win we thought there were some real possibilities opening for us. “ Hastings launched the tournament last Friday with a 10-4 win over Tokyo, handing the Japanese champion its first opening round loss since 1965.

Led by the standout pitching of Loreto Siniscalchi, the Canadians took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back.The righthander tossed five and two-third innings, surrendering six hits while fanning 13 batters.

The Burnaby native set the tone, striking out seven of his first eight batters faced – all swinging. He also delivered with the bat, homering in his last at bat while going 2-for-4.

Nathan Clegg finished 1-for-2 with two RBI, while Cristian Santarelli also registered one hit in two at bats, driving in a pair with a home run in the fourth inning to make it 6-0.

On Monday, Hastings suffered a 10-0 loss at the hands of East Seoul in a five-inning mercy rule contest.

The Korean pitching duo ofYoubin Choi and Wontae Cho combined for 14 strikeouts – including the first 13 faced – in what would be a one-hitter.

The one hit was delivered by Burnaby’s Stefano Dal Sasso.

Burnaby’s run hits the ‘Rocks Lakers’ season ends but not before demonstrating resilience, determination

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It was a great three-game run.

Unfortunately, the Burnaby Lakers needed a fourth win to extend the season.

The Victoria Shamrocks advanced to the Western Lacrosse Association final Sunday with a 14-11 victory on their home floor, ending a strong Lakers’ push in the seven game series.

Having gone from a 3-0 hole into a seventh-and-deciding game, one could say this was a success story no matter what the ending. But Burnaby’s fate was sealed when the host Shamrocks unleashed a string of consecutive blows over the first two periods, flexing the formidable offensive skills that helped steer them to the 2015 Mann Cup title.

For Lakers head coach Rory McDade, the toughest blow came early when the host squad peeled off five straight goals to

erase a 2-1 Burnaby lead and grab the wheel heading into the second period.

“I felt it kind of turned on us near the end of the first period when they got a couple (goals) in a row off a few mistakes,” said McDade. “I thought the second period was closer than the score indicated.”

Josh Byrne opened the scoring with a shorthanded effort 5:29 into the game, and while Victoria tied it just 28 seconds later, Burnaby was back in front midway through the frame when Robert Church counted his first of two.

The ‘Rocks responded three minutes later, and 24 seconds after tying it took the lead on Rhys Duch’s 21st goal of the series. Corey Small upped it to 4-2 barely a minute later, followed by two more 13 seconds apart with under a minute to go.While Burnaby got one back when Eli McLaughlin converted with net-

minder Zak Boychuk on the bench for an extra runner, the hill was obviously a huge one.

Victoria made it harder with the first three tallies of the middle frame, including a shorthanded one off the stick of Cory Conway, and added two more after Tyler Digby sniped one for the visitors.

Trailing 11-4 entering the third period, Burnaby inched closer when Scott Jones and McLaughlin found the back of the net early in the third.

Down by six with just 10 minutes left, the Lakers rolled the dice and played with an extra attacker and the goalie on the bench – resulting in three six-onfive goals within a 1:30 span. But Victoria replied to make it a fourgoal gap, and the two teams trading markers the rest of the way.

“Pulling the goalie got us closer but when you do it regularly it’s only a matter of time when one goes against you,” noted McDade.

Victoria now goes on to defend its title in the WLA final against the Maple Ridge Burrards.

McLaughlin finished with three goals while Byrne scored once and set up six others.

Church counted six points on the night, while Scott Jones netted two goals.

The ‘Rocks’ Duch proved to be too much to handle, tallying 22 goals and 18 assists over the seven-game series.

While the season is done, the overall take-away isn’t so much disappointment as it is optimism, said McDade.

“Being down 3-0 (in the series) and being down a multiple of times in Game 6 and coming back, that’s what I’m really proud of.We came through a lot of adversity and pushed them to seven (games).”

The Lakers, a solid defensive team to begin the year, gained cohesion on offence and hit its stride late in the season.

Bats bring Bulldogs a title Burnaby trumps Coquitlam in B.C. men’s final Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Bulldogs did what they do best – lead the pack.

The senior men’s baseball team captured its seventh provincial title – and first since 2010 – by beating the Coquitlam Angels 7-2 earlier this month in Nanaimo.

Powered by a lineup of mashers, the Bulldogs rolled through its five-game schedule, outscoring the opposition 48-9.

In the final, they put four runs on the board in the second inning and looked poised to add more.

“Our bats have been hot since the second half (of the season),” said manager Mike Sinclair. “They really carried us. All tournament long the bats were swinging and hitting.”

Catcher Brodie Hawkins turned on a fastball in the sixth and lifted it out of the yard for two runs, clinching the game.

In Pacific Metro league head-to-head play, the two teams won three games

apiece. But Coquitlam just couldn’t answer Burnaby’s balanced approach, said Sinclair.

“We were swinging our bats really well and had our No. 1 pitcher ready to go,” said Sinclair, who spent the

We were swinging our bats really well and had our No. 1 pitcher ready to go.

past two weeks cheering on sister Christine, captain of the Canadian women’s soccer team. “We got some quick runs and had it in hand the rest of the way.”

Righthander Mitch Hodge picked up his second win of the provincials, pitching a complete, seveninning game while allowing four hits. For his efforts, Hodge – a one-time Kansas

City Royals prospect – was named the tourney’s MVP. Also enjoying strong tournaments were outfielder Jeff Bouchard, who launched one homer and finished with a .430 batting average, scoring six times and driving six runs home, and Burnaby native Sean Hotzak, who’s .545 batting average was tops at the provincials, and added six RBI. The Bulldogs finished the Pacific Metro regular season in second place behind Coquitlam, and needed to beat Langley in a best-of-three playoffs to advance.

A key turning point in the season, Sinclair said, came in a strong performance at the annual Grand Forks International tourney on the July long weekend.

Burnaby advanced to the Forks’ final where they were edged out 2-1 by the Seattle Studs, despite a stellar outing from Hodge.

“We were up 1-0 after six innings,” recalled Sinclair. “It was a tough way to lose, a tough pill to swallow.

But it was where we kind of found our stride.”

“Mark has the ability to create offense and brings lots of speed to his game,” Roadrunners general manager Doug Soetaert said in a press release. “He is a solid veteran forward with a winning attitude and we look forward to having him in Tucson this season.”

Last year with the Polar Bears, the 28-year-old Olver counted seven goals and nine assists in 36 games. His last stint in the AHL was in 2013/14, when he tallied 15 goals and 34 assists over 65 games.

He was drafted 180th overall by Colorado in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
