THE TANK FARM

SFU works on mock disaster By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

SFU students on Burnaby Mountain will go through a mock tank farm disaster next summer, the NOW has learned. Mark LaLonde, the university’s chief safety officer, said his department has been working on a mass evacuation and shelter-in-place plan for the last few months.The goal is to have it finished by this fall, with a “large exercise on campus” scheduled for June 2018. “Kinder Morgan, one of their NEB conditions is that they work with us on that,” said LaLonde. “We’ll be working with our community partners – fire, police, ambulance. ...We’re going to simulate an event at the tank farm, and what we’ll do is shelter in place and a partial simulated evacuation.” Right now, SFU has what’s called a “comprehensive emergency plan,” which gets updated periodically (the last update was done November 2016).The plan takes “an all-hazards approach to any number of things that could happen,” according to LaLonde. “It’s not as robust as we would have liked, and that’s why we’re working on a new plan. The expansion of the tank farm poses new challenges,” he said. The chief safety officer stressed that any Continued on page 8

City’s homeless population keeps increasing By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s homeless population increased by 19 per cent over the last three years, according to preliminary findings from the 2017 homeless count. Volunteers counted 69 homeless people on March

8, up from 58 in 2014. The report, released on Monday, defines homeless as not having a place to stay for more than 30 days, and not paying rent. The 24-hour snapshot showed that 49 of the 69 homeless in Burnaby were unsheltered, meaning they were living outside, includ-

ing in alleys, doorways, parkades, parks and in cars. Given the freezing temperatures on the evening of the count and no permanent homeless shelter in the city, 19 homeless people said they were staying at an emergency facility. Lookout Society’s extreme weather shelter at Westminster Bi-

ble Chapel opened for 76 nights during the 2016/17 season and recorded 709 stays. The findings also show Burnaby’s homeless population includes 12 unsheltered and five sheltered children and youth under the age of 25. “It’s a crisis that can’t be

ignored,” said Wanda Mulholland, organizer of the Burnaby count and coordinator of the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby. “People need housing.The United Nations talks about housing as a basic human right.” Data not included in the report, but just as impor-

tant, is the number of people who have died as a result of homelessness and long-term poverty, according to Mulholland. She told the NOW since the last count in 2014 (they happen every three years), 24 Burnaby citizens have died, with 15 in the last Continued on page 10

Kinder Morgan has Released its Pipeline Routing Plans Time to respond ofﬁcially is limited by the National Energy Board Act It has now been conﬁrmed by Kinder Morgan that the proposed pipeline route crosses and seriously impacts: • the Brunette River Conservation Area, Stoney Creek and many streams • parkland, including Cottonwood Park • protected forested land that currently provides a buffer between the Meadowood neighbourhood and the Shellmont tank farm • major roads and local streets • forested areas and public spaces near private property, in addition to the pipeline easement, as Kinder Morgan is asking for additional work spaces, eight to 25 metres wide

If your property may be impacted, you have the right to file an objection. The National Energy Board (NEB) Act allows official responses only from people who own or occupy property that may be affected. Statements of opposition to the pipeline route can be filed with the NEB. Landowners who receive notices directly from Kinder Morgan must respond within 30 days after they receive their notice. Landowners, leaseholders, occupants and any person who anticipates that their land may be adversely affected (including those who own property or live adjacent to the pipeline route) must respond within 30 days after the last Public Notice appears in a newspaper. In Burnaby, the last Public Notice ad appeared in Burnaby Now on March 24. Copies of the plan, profile and book of reference for the detailed route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project are available for inspection online at www.transmountain.com, and at: National Energy Board Library 2nd Floor, 517 Tenth Avenue SW Calgary, AB T2R 0A8 1-800-899-1265 (toll free) Burnaby Board of Trade #201-4555 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 1T8 604-412-0100 If you need assistance to prepare your response, contact the City of Burnaby at: Email TMEPInquiry@burnaby.ca Phone 604-297-4400 Fax 604-294-7425 Mail Burnaby Engineering Department (Kinder Morgan TMEP) 4949 Canada Way Burnaby, BC V5G 1M2

In spite of tremendous opposition throughout British Columbia, including from the City of Burnaby, the National Energy Board has approved Kinder Morgan’s proposal to: Build a new pipeline to carry unrefined bitumen through Burnaby; Triple the amount of heavy oil stored – and add 13 larger storage tanks – on Burnaby Mountain; Build three new tanker loading docks and a utility dock in Burrard Inlet to export the oil, keeping none for Canadians Kinder Morgan calls the project a “twinning”, when, in fact, none of the new line would follow the old pipeline’s route in Burnaby and the product carried would be much more hazardous. Even though the NEB has approved the project, the City of Burnaby will continue to fight to protect the citizens and city from the significant damage this project would do. Though the NEB Act seriously limits who may file official responses and response time, unofficially we can all respond. Mayor Derek Corrigan

Teen faces more charges after he tries to elude cops By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A teen with a history of drug offences faces more charges after allegedly speeding away from members of B.C.’s antigang squad during a routine traffic stop in Burnaby last month. On the morning of March 21, the uniform gang enforcement team stopped a vehicle that police described as being associated with trafficking and “suspicious occurrences.” The vehicle’s registered owner had an active class 7

driver’s licence but no “N” visible, according to a Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia press release. Officers followed the vehicle a short distance to find a safe place to stop, according to police, but when they got out of their vehicle, police said the driver sped off. Officers later found the vehicle parked at a dead-end street, where they arrested the driver. They also detected an extremely strong smell of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, according to the press release, and a search

of the vehicle turned up a baggie of marijuana in the glove compartment, three cell phones and a marijuana grinder. A search of the area also turned up a baggie of marijuana and a quantity of what was suspected to be cocaine officers believed had been tossed from the vehicle. Jaskaran Johal, 19, now faces one count each of flight from a peace officer, dangerous operation of motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance (crack-cocaine) for the purpose of trafficking.

HMV is going – but new store will ﬁll the void Sunrise Records will fill old-school demands By Mike Xue

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby film and music lovers will have to bid farewell to the media retail giant HMV by the end of April – but collectors of DVDs, CDs and vinyl records needn’t be too sad. Ontario’s Sunrise Records is stepping in to continue Burnaby’s old-school media market. Sunrise Records president Doug Putman said that, although Canada’s traditional media market is being impacted by online media consumption, it is still important to maintain an old-school media platform for local artists. “We want to support independent Ca-

nadian artists more than ever,” he said in a press release. “We feel it’s an obligation, not to mention we love discovering talented new artists.” Earlier this year, HMV Canada’s parent company HUK 10 Ltd. filed for receivership in the Ontario Superior Court, announcing plans to close all remaining HMV locations by April 30. At the time HMV was placed in receivership, it operated 102 stores and financials showed it was losing as much as $100,000 per day. After buying properties made vacant by this receivership, the Toronto-based Sunrise Records chain is planning to open 70 stores across the country, including in Burnaby’s Metropolis at Metrotown. BNN previously reported that Sunrise will be opening two locations in Burnaby; however, only the Metrotown location has been confirmed by Sunrise.

Burnaby man charged with child sex offences Surrey Creep Catchers allegedly involved in sting to entrap man trying to arrange sex with a six-year-old

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 35-year-old Burnaby man has been charged with two child sex offences after an incident in Surrey that could also have involved him being assaulted by a vigilante. Surrey RCMP were called to the 10100 block of King George Boulevard at about 6:40 p.m. last Monday. Allegations from two dif-

ferent parties on the scene included child luring and assault, according to police. After officers talked to eyewitnesses and reviewed video footage, one man was arrested and later released. Surrey RCMP’s special victims unit then investigated and arrested a suspect on Thursday. Kuljinder Singh Bhatti, 35, a Burnaby Realtor, is now charged with trying to lure a minor for a sexu-

Man pulls needle, threatens staff Staff at a Burnaby gas station were threatened with a hypodermic needle during a robbery on April 2. Burnaby RCMP were called to the Shell station in the 4100 block of North Road at about 12:30 p.m. A man had come into the store, produced a needle as a weapon and demanded money and lotto tickets, according to police. Mounties are now looking for a white man, 30 to 40 years old, approximately five foot six, with long dark hair and beard, wearing a dark toque and grey hoodie. Anyone with information about the holdup is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922. – By Cornelia Naylor

al purpose and for making an arrangement with a person for a sexual offence involving a person under the age of 18. Surrey RCMP told the NOW they are still investigating allegations Bhatti was assaulted during the

Monday incident. But police would not confirm the incident involved the Surrey Creep Catchers, a group of controversial vigilante pedophile hunters. That group posted a video of a sting in a Surrey

mall Monday night in the same area, allegedly involving a man trying to arrange for sex with a six-year-old girl and her mother. The video appears to show the group’s president, Ryan Laforge, pinning the man up against a

wall and yelling at him. Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

When ideology trumps compassion It should come as no surprise to anyone that the number of homeless people is increasing. The cost of rental housing is unmanageable for many who are trying to live on poverty levels of income. Even folks who have decent jobs find it difficult to find affordable rental housing, so imagine what it is like for those with virtually no income. The stock of decent rental accommodations

continues to decline in Burnaby as ‘renovictions’ and ‘demovictions’ continue. More people are living on the streets, in cars, in old mobile homes, and, of course, in city parks or treed vacant lots in industrial areas. This is not just an uncomfortable social issue – it is a life-and-death situation. Wanda Mulholland, coordinator of the Society

to End Homelessness in Burnaby, told the NOW this week that what isn’t covered in the homeless count stats is how many people have died while homeless. According to Mulholland, since the last count in 2014 (they happen every three years), 24 of Burnaby’s homeless citizens have died, 15 in the last year. Forty-five have died since 2006. And then there are the

... it is a life-anddeath situation young children and teenagers. In this latest count, there were 12 unsheltered and five sheltered children and youth under the age of 25. Mayor Derek Corrigan continues to point fingers at the provincial and federal governments and be-

lieves this excuses his city from directly addressing the situation with a permanent shelter. So, in Burnaby, the Lookout Society provides temporary shelter at the Westminster Bible Chapel when the weather is extreme. But there is nothing permanent. Contrast that with the City of New Westminster’s much more humane and holistic view. In that neighbouring

city, there is an understanding that waiting for the other levels of government to do something is really just cynical, political posturing. New West has supported several measures to help the homeless and those transitioning. But Corrigan has painted himself into an ideological corner he can’t, or won’t get out of. And that’s clearly unfortunate for everybody involved.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP could still win election

B.C.’s electoral history would suggest the NDP enters this year’s election as a decided underdog, but make no mistake: there is a definite path to victory for a party that rarely tastes champagne on election nights. And this premise is not based on polls. Instead, it’s based on actual, previous election results. The party has to hold all of its existing seat count, and beat the B.C. Liberals in 10 others. It may sound like a tough slog, but a close examination shows that nine B.C. Liberal-held ridings were won by less than 700 votes in 2013, which makes them toss-ups in this campaign. Seven of those “swing” ridings are located in MetroVancouver and include: Burnaby North,VancouverFraserview, Delta North, Port Moody-Coquitlam, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, Surrey Guildford (a new riding the B.C. Liberals would have won by less than 300 votes had it existed in 2013) and Surrey-Fleetwood (which the NDP would have actually won in 2013 if the new riding boundaries were in place then). And there are two ridings in the southern Interior that were also very close races in 2013: Fraser-Nicola and Cariboo North. So it is entirely conceivable the NDP can win all nine of these ridings, which would put it tantalizingly close to power. But the hard part for the NDP may not actually be winning these ridings, but holding on to some of the

seats they currently hold. The NDP holds about six ridings they cannot take for granted.The shakiest one is Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, which it picked up in a 2016 byelection but which is a traditionally strong area of support for the B.C. Liberals. Other tenuous ridings include Burnaby-Lougheed, Coquitlam-Maillardville, Skeena, Saanich North and the Islands and Cowichan Valley.The chief threat to their reclaiming the latter two ridings is an apparent rise of support for the Green party onVancouver Island. Nevertheless, the path to power for the NDP is clear. Hold on to existing territory and add 10 ridings where it has won before or has come very close to winning. The B.C. Liberals can likely afford to lose as many as five of their existing seats. They have 48 seats but can safely count on winning back Delta South (now that two-termVicki Huntington has retired from politics), and the new seat of Richmond-Queensborough would have easily been won by the party if it had existed in the 2013 election. But this election will be won or lost in the 20 or so battleground swing ridings Expect both NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark to visit these ridings repeatedly during the 28-day campaign. And Green party leader AndrewWeaver will be spending a lot of time on Vancouver Island. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Lettersnow Pipeline’s impact is broad NDP just like Liberals Dear Editor: Re “MP launches online tool to educate people about the Kinder Morgan pipeline,” Burnaby NOW. Burnaby NOW readers, particularly online, should be cautioned not to rely too much on Kennedy Stewart’s online tool if it tells them their postal code is not at risk from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. I live in Chilliwack, where the proposed pipeline route crosses the city’s protected groundwater zone within capture zones of city wells. It goes on to cross a river along one of four fault lines on the route identified by Natural Resources Canada as being of particular concern, just upstream of other community wells that are alongside the river. There is more, but those are perhaps the most egregious risks posed here by the route of the pipeline project. Kennedy Stewart’s online tool said my postal code is not at risk. Yet a pipeline spill could mean that my home, and my whole community, suddenly has no water supply. I think my postal code is at risk and will be filing a statement of opposition to say so to the NEB and hopefully get the pipeline route rejected where it crosses this aquifer. Burnaby NOW readers should look carefully at their own situation, with the lens of local knowledge, before deciding whether to make use of what is otherwise a good tool provided by MP Stewart. Ian Stephen, Chilliwack

Dear Editor: Re: Burnaby Hospital gets new provincial money, Burnaby NOW, April 7. It’s a bit rich for Anne Kang to be criticizing the “million-dollar donors” of the B.C. Liberals, when the B.C. NDP has accepted big money from the exact same corporations. To be sure, the Liberals are pawns of big business, and its supporters know that, but the NDP would be no different. Kang recently took it even one step further, stating that the NDP “don’t receive money from big donors.” How stupid do you think we are, Miss? It is about time that everybody knows the truth, which is that the NDP are fake, controlled opposition, no better than the Liberals. We have a two-party false paradigm, no different from the Democrat and Republican charade across the border, which we all love to laugh at. The NDP claim that they will ban such donations. I’m sure they would, but the problem is that the money is already in their bank accounts and they have illustrated that they too are willing to be compromised. Furthermore, the NDP and Liberals are both rigid and boring parties with antiquated approaches. The rest of Burnaby looks like the same old, and they must pick their poison, but let the revolution begin in Burnaby-Deer Lake. Life is too short not to elect an independent.

City now How could you get 25,000 people off the mountain? Continued from page 1 emergency plan has to be flexible in order to deal with factors such as weather and time of day. On March 1,Trans Mountain filed an updated risk assessment for its Burnaby terminal, which will see an additional 14 new tanks, bringing the total to 26. The report concluded the fire risk, without any mitigating measures in place, is “extremely low” and meets the criteria set out by the Major Industrial Accidents Council of Canada. Jamie Kereliuk,Trans Mountain’s director of emergency management, told the NOW he’s confident the facility is very safe, and that the company’s operation record speaks for itself. “In over 60 years, we haven’t had any storage tank

fires at the terminal,” he said in March. But LaLonde said, despite the low-risk classification, the proposed tank farm expansion still poses a threat.

In over 60 years, we haven’t had any storage tank ﬁres at the terminal.

“They’re looking at tanks within 150 metres of the intersection that is our only egress point.The simple placement of that there alone and then you compound that with what’s in the tanks.

“On a busy day, we’ll have 25,000 people in our university footprint. It’s probably safe to say 1,000 of those (people) would have mobility challenges, whether they’re older or they’re children, ... people who require wheelchairs or assistance,” he said. Asked whether the idea of building a second road down the mountain has been seriously discussed, LaLonde said there’s been a “live discussion” around building a gondola. “It strikes me that would be simpler than building another road.Where would the other road go?” he asked. “My understanding of it from what I’ve read is (the gondola) would transport up to 4,000 people an hour, a roughly six-minute trip down to Production Way.”

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Anyone unsure if their property is located on Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline route can check out Kennedy Stewart’s personal website to find out. The NDP MP for Burnaby South has launched a new online tool that asks visitors for their postal codes and, in return, shows them whether they’re on the pipeline route or in a marine spill zone. “This whole process is designed from a top-down view,” said Stewart, who’s been a longtime pipeline opponent. “We designed this the other way. If you’re an individual person looking up at this big project, what would you need? And we tried to anticipate what people would need and not overwhelm them at the

same time.” One of the objectives is to let property owners know they have 30 days to file a statement of opposition, he added. Stewart said one property owner from Langley, who

They have spent years rezoning this property had no idea about the project, accessed Stewart’s site and found out he was on the route. “They have spent years rezoning this property to make it into a condo development.They had the contractors, they had the developers, they had everybody on board. “They said, ‘Oh my God,

this goes through the middle of our complex, and we’ve got to send in our letters to object and explain this,’” said Stewart. The MP’s website also has a few links, including to a landowner’s rights guide, Kinder Morgan’s aerial maps and a spill zone map. There’s also a petition available for download (for every 25 signatures Stewart receives, he’s allowed to make a one-minute speech in Parliament). The initiative has caught the attention of the National Energy Board (NEB), noted Stewart, who said the NEB has contacted his office. “They’re a little surprised by this and interested in what our plans are,” he said. “It’s being noticed and that’s what we wanted.” To learn more, visit www. kennedystewart.ca.

City now Homeless numbers up Continued from page 1 year. Forty-five have died since 2006. “This is not a stagnant situation. People are in and out of homelessness,” she said, noting the average age at the time of death is 42. Mulholland said all three levels of government need to work together on this file. “It’s about the collaboration that makes things happen, that provides for people in a way that is respectful,” she said. Mulholland added having a permanent shelter in Burnaby would be an important part for some people living on the streets. “Some people don’t have any other issue other than they can’t afford to live here anymore, but for some, a shelter, staff resources are very important,” she said. Meanwhile, Mayor Derek Corrigan called Monday’s findings “frustrating.” Asked if he thought there was a correlation between Burnaby’s 69 homeless and the higher number of homeless people in neighbouring cities like New Westminster

(133), the mayor said no. “I think that mostly it is statistical anomalies whether people are going to one community or another. There’s a disproportionate amount of homeless people that have arrived in Maple Ridge, for instance, and I can’t get my head around that,” he said. Corrigan agreed with

People are in and out of homelessness

Mulholland that all three levels of government need to work together. He pointed to the city’s 200 nonmarket housing units that were approved recently and made available through density bonus money. “If there’s no one on the other side, picking up those opportunities, it’s very frustrating.What you’ll find when you talk to mayors around the region is all of

us are suffering the same way.That we keep looking to be a solution, but without partners that are coming to the table at the senior levels of governments, you just don’t seem to get results,” said Corrigan. As for having a homeless shelter in the city, the mayor reiterated that such a facility is not a solution, and what is needed is transitional shelters, “...where people are going to move through a shelter into permanent housing, and that they’re going to get treatment for the issues they’re suffering – the drug addiction or the mental illness. “Wanda’s view is that you just give them a place to stay overnight and send them back onto the street. I think that’s fundamentally wrong, and I don’t think it’s ever going to give people any dignity,” he said. The full report on the homeless count will come out later this year. It will provide information on how long people have been homeless, health issues and sources of income.

Big dreams for Big Star Sandwich Co. Second location for popular NewWestminster-based eatery opens on CanadaWay in Burnaby Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The Grewal brothers’ journey to franchise ownership started with a sandwich. The first time Avee and Gary Grewal bit into a Big Star sandwich, they were hooked. In October, the pair opened the second Big Star Sandwich Company location on CanadaWay in Burnaby.The NewWestminster-based eatery prides itself on being the place to go for a hearty, “blue-collar” sandwich.They prepare all their meat in-house to offer customers an alternative to sandwich chains like Subway. “If you think about chain restaurants out there, there’s a ton of burgers, there’s even chicken, pizza; there’s a lot of everything, but there’s not a lot of sandwiches. So you have Subway everywhere,” said Alex Johrden, director of operations. Johrden likes to think of Big Star as the anti-Subway, making sandwiches for the working man, he said. Started by Clint Bondzuk and Julie Rule, Big Star Sandwich Company opened its first shop on 12th Street in NewWestminster in 2013.Three years later, it moved to its current location at 664 Columbia St. Johrden, who was the first-ever employee, said franchising had always been in the cards for Big Star – and who better to open its first franchised location than a pair of die-hard fans. Avee and Gary have been eating at Big Star Sandwich Co. since day one, and, before they knew it, they were

Looking to the future: Avee Grewal, franchise owner of Big Star Sandwich Co., and Arjan Gill, the Burnaby location’s manager, pose outside the sandwich shop on Canada Way. Grewal has been a Big Star customer since it opened in New Westminster in 2013. In October, Grewal opened the first Big Star franchise location. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

picking up sandwiches four to five times a week. “We were like, ‘You know, we’re putting so much money into Clint and Julie’s pocket, might as well open our own,’” Avee said. “They never wanted to run it; they just wanted free sandwiches,” Johrden joked. Whether that’s true or not, since opening at 3736 CanadaWay in October, profits have been rising

steadily as more and more customers discover the new shop, Avee said. “There was not much food going on there and tons of businesses, and when we went there and asked around, everyone said the same thing, ‘We want more food.’There wasn’t really a choice.There was Subway there andWendy’s, and it’s been like that for last I don’t know how many

years,” he said. According to Johrden, Avee and Gary were the perfect candidates to take on the first franchise.They were customers first, so they knew the product well, and that’s important for the brand, Johrden said. “We’re very selective of the people who we would like to be franchisees,” he added. “Like Gary and Avee

here, they were original customers; they really understand what we’re trying to do here.” And it’s been fun so far, Avee said. The 25-year-old handles most of the day-to-day operations of the Burnaby location. Most days he’s there until 8 or 9 p.m. to make sure everything runs smoothly.There have been some bumps along the way,

which is all part of the learning experience, one Avee said he hopes to build on moving forward. But for now, he’s happy with how things are going, he said. “I think I need a couple more Big Star sandwiches to realize my dream,” he laughed.

Mega gaming complex proposed Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Brentwood neighbourhood could one day be home to an entertainment venue that includes billiards, a bowling alley, ping pong tables, virtual reality experiences, food and drinks all under one roof. Shape Properties, the developer of the Amazing Brentwood, is looking to bring The Rec Room to 4501 Lougheed Hwy. It’s a Cineplex Entertainment concept that took off in Edmonton two years ago as part of a pilot project. The movie company plans to open another 10 to 15 locations across the country over the coming years, ranging in size from 30,000 to 60,000 square feet.The Rec Room in Burnaby would be around 44,300 square feet. The complex will see half of the space devoted to dining and live entertainment and the other half devoted to amusement games and feature attractions.

Exclusively at Fabricana

“I think this is a pretty new concept here, and I think it’s good we get a lot of information and also find out how it’s working in Edmonton,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan at a council meeting last week. The proposed hours of liquor service are 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week, though The Rec Room would normally operate between 11 a.m. and 2 a.m., according to a staff report. Whether there will be a Cineplex movie theatre is unknown, according to Lou Pelletier, the city’s director of planning and building. “This particular proposal doesn’t start with the theatres; the theatres are on another level up, and might come from this company or another company in the future,” he said at the meeting. The Rec Room would be located on the second floor of the west building in Phase 1 of the Brentwood Town Centre redevelopment.

City now SPOTLIGHT ON PARENTING TODDLERS WHAT IS IT? Information Children offers a workshop series on Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers, running Mondays from May 1 to June 12 at the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library, 4595 Albert St. Sessions run Mondays from 10:10 a.m. to noon (except May 22, when the library is closed for Victoria Day). WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Everyone who has parented a small person knows that kids under the age of five bring challenges that are disproportionate to the size of the human being in question. The workshop will look at issues such as effective communication, the link between behaviour and temperament, understanding child development, having appropriate behavioural expectations, and responding to children’s misbehaviour “in ways that promote growth and selfregulation,” a write-up says.

SAY THAT IN REAL WORDS, PLEASE: Does your kid have temper tantrums? Have you dealt with separation anxiety? Is your child occasionally, er, socially challenged by such skills as sharing and turntaking? Then this workshop series is for you. WHO RUNS IT? Information Children is a not-for-profit organization and registered charity

founded in 1979 by Jean Koepke, a Simon Fraser University family studies and psychology professor. It’s still based at SFU’s Burnaby campus, and it works to provide no- or low-cost support services for parents. Its services include a parenting helpline, parenting coaching, parenting groups and more. See www. informationchildren.com.

Artsnow Burnaby performer back onstage in Baking Time A Burnaby performer is returning to the stage in a production that proved a hit with young audiences in the fall. Aaron Lau is back onstage at Presentation House for Baking Time, running April 30 to May 2.The show – which played to appreciate audiences in November and December – will be travelling to the Ottawa Children’s Festival later in May. Lau has become a familiar face on the Vancouver theatre scene since debuting in Footloose at Theatre Under the Stars in 2004. He’s since performed in more than 50 shows and formed his own company, Intimate Theatre Productions, to produce small-scale musicals. In Baking Time, he’s one of two bakers who lead young audiences on a magical journey that involves actual, onstage baking. Plus, there’s music; most of the text is sung alongside live cello and accordion. “This is a show that involves all the senses – touch, taste, smell, sight and sound,” says Kim Selody, artistic director of Presentation House Theatre, in a press release. “Our hope is that everyone goes home with an understanding of the delights of bread making and, perhaps, an appetite to

Start gearing up now for summer camp plans to guarantee kids attend the camps they prefer. requirements for registration. Expect to submit Summer camp season is just around the corner. Each Prepare children for the physical challenges a 3 camp may present. Summer camp activities some personal information, including a medical summer, millions of children depart for campsites around the country to swim, hike, craft, and enjoy the companionship of friends.

Summer camps in North America were first established in the 1880s and were attended by children without their parents for overnight stays. By the 20th century, summer camps had become an international phenomenon, and various organizations hosted traditional summer camps or camps geared toward religion, sports, music and other subjects and activities. According to the American Camp Association, each year more than 14 million children and adults in the United States attend camp. America is home to more than 14,000 day and resident camps (8,400 are overnight camps and 5,600 are day camps). Nonprofit groups are the largest sponsors of summer camps. Many people put off summer camp planning until it is too late. Parents should keep in mind that camps begin registration early in the year and have specific cut-off dates for enrollment. Parents who want to beat the crowds this year can use this guide to help plan a summer camp agenda. Attend an orientation seminar. Take the time to visit prospective camps for a tour, and use this open house as an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered. If available, find a camp employee to discuss your child’s eligibility for enrollment. Some camps may offer webinars for convenience. · Fill out the enrollment package completely. Each camp has their own

background and proof of insurance, names and numbers of emergency contacts, and any other pertinent information as it applies to the camper. This may include allergies, fears, physical or mental disabilities, or even preferences in camp courses.

Establish payment schedules. Summer camps vary in price. The ACA says camp costs range from $100 to more than $1,500 per week. However, many accredited camps offer some sort of financial assistance for children from families with limited financial means. If cost is a factor, be sure to broach the subject.

may be rigorous, and campers may need to be cleared by a physician before starting. Be sure to schedule your child a physical and bring along any pertinent forms. Children also can increase their levels of physical activity compared to the often sedentary nature of winter. Such preparation can prevent injuries when engaging in outdoor and physical activities.

campers will need. Make sure kids have enough shorts, T-shirts, socks, athletic shoes, swimsuits, toiletries, and other camp necessities before they leave. Keep children in the loop. Engage children in the planning process to help alleviate their fears and get them excited about summer camp.

For Noah Wang, badminton is life. The 34-year-old, who owns Noah’s Badminton House at 7634 Sixth St., “lives and breathes” the sport. Wang first picked up a badminton racket at Burnaby Central when he was in Grade 10. He was hooked on day one and just kept playing. After graduating, he joined the Douglas College badminton team, a national championship squad at the time. “I was a small potato. I was the weakest player,” said Wang, adding he’s never won a provincial or na-

City now Badminton enthusiast plans his store ‘for life’

Continued from page 19 hitting the birdie with friends or coaching high school students. Sometimes he volunteers as a provincial referee or as a national umpire for Badminton Canada. The rest of his time is spent at Noah’s Badminton House, a store he opened two-and-a-half years ago. The little shop – most recognizable from the outside by its black windows and white panda-face stencil – sells top-of-the-line rackets and a host of badminton gear.There’s everything from neon orange badminton bags to shoes, socks and accessories. Part of Wang’s business model also includes offering clients Olympic-grade stringing via two heavy duty stringing machines in his office. It’s all about quality,Wang told the NOW. It takes him one hour to string one racket, unlike some of his competitors. “A lot of other stores sur-

vive because they work for volume. I don’t do that. I do quality work here,” he said, noting some retailers charge between $40 and $70, and string three to four rackets per hour. “I’m very cheap,”Wang laughed.

People love badminton. It’s growing. By offering quality over quantity, profit margins are low, admitted the Taiwanese native. “It’s very tough,” said Wang. To make ends meet, the badminton enthusiast works six days a week and can sometimes be at the store past midnight. “I have to because people are waiting,” he chuckled, adding there’s a five-week wait for his stringing service.

“People love badminton. It’s growing. It grew so much in the last 20 years, by 300 per cent.” Asked why he opened Noah’s Badminton House in the Edmonds neighbourhood,Wang said it was because of the location. Most badminton shops are either in Vancouver or Richmond, so Burnaby was very central. “I’ve got customers coming from Surrey,White Rock, the Tri-Cities area, from Abbotsford and Chilliwack; (I) even serve Campbell River.” Noah’s Badminton House has around 600 customers, noted Wang, with a 65 per cent retention rate. Most are his friends. It’s no surprise then that he’s not planning to pack up and leave any time soon. “If I open a store, I plan to keep the store for life,” he said.

Byrne still hot for Hofstra Burnaby Lakers sniper continues torrid pace in college There is no single reason why the Hofstra University Pride are the last undefeated team in all NCAA Div. 1 men’s field lacrosse, but Josh Byrne certainly is a major contributor. A sniper with the Western Lacrosse Association’s Burnaby Lakers during the summer, Byrne continues to rip up the scoring charts in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), helping his squad build a 10-0 case as the regular season nears a close and playoffs approach. The six-foot-three senior attackman counted four goals and an assist to lead the Pride past Delaware 11-9, giving Byrne six games where he’s scored three or more goals this season. While one player in the CAA has 32 goals, Byrne’s 29 over 10 games gives him a league-leading 2.90 average. It also earned him the CAA’s Men’s Lacrosse Player of the Week award for the second time this season. Coupled with his 15-game consecutive point streak, the New West native has 59 goals and 95 career points with Hofstra, since joining the program in 2016. The Pride are pleased to sit second in the NCAA Div. 1 field lacrosse rankings, knowing there is room for improvement. Over the past seven weeks, the No. 1-ranked team followed up being named to the top spot with a loss. Six weeks ago Byrne was named the CAA player of the week. In his rookie season with the Lakers last year, he recorded eight goals and 21 assists in 11 games, and ramped it up in the playoffs by posting 10 goals and 14 assists in seven contests, as Burnaby pushed the Victoria Shamrocks to seven games in the semifinal.

Brinkac holds on to claim nat crown Burnaby athlete earns Most OutstandingWrestler tag after beating nat team member

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s Sara Brinkac has faced her share of tough tests the past six months – and then some. The Burnaby Central Grade 12 student has rehabbed from knee surgery and some disappointments to get to a special place in the wrestling world, following her victory at the Canadian Cadet and Juvenile national wrestling championships in Windsor, Ont. The freestyle grappler topped the 60-kilogram division, defeating Kirti Saxena of Mississauga, Ont., by a 10-9 decision after two grueling rounds.While she never trailed, Brinkac twice saw four-point leads erased in one move, and gained the final upper hand with 30 seconds left on a takedown. “It was very close,” remarked Frank Men-

sah, head coach at Coast Wrestling, based in Burnaby. “Sara was up 4-0 and (Saxena) took it back with four of her own to tie it. Sara got back up by four and (Saxena) again put up a four-pointer. “With 30 seconds left, Sara basically got the takedown to make it 10-8… (Brinkac) was given a caution and one-point penalty for holding the lead. She wrestled like a champion.” Based on her performance, Brinkac was named the Outstanding Juvenile Women’s Wrestler of the tournament. It was her fourth match of the tournament, which began with a 10-0 technical fall over Reese Fariss, and a 6-4 decision over Deven Goett. She advanced to the final by edging Edmonton’s Sophia Santoro in a 4-4 decision. It was Saxena who edged out Brinkac last year at the national team trials, providing some extra incentive for the Burnaby wrestler. Add

the fact that she was, until recently, rehabbing from knee surgery, and Brinkac made major strides to capture the title. “This is her first national title and it was exactly what she needed,” said Mensah. “The last minute of a match was normally where (Brinkac) had issues, and she was extremely smart and stood her ground.” The Coast coaching team, which includes Greg Brock, Mitch Dodd, Omid Farahani, Garfield Gairy, Jason Jahani and Jessica Tang, got stellar results across the board, including other gold results from 46kg champion Alexia Seal and 65kg’s Ana Godinez in juvenile, while at the cadet level Tyleen Scaiano, in 46kg, and Victoria Seal, in 52kg. The latter wrestler was named Most Outstanding Wrestler in the women’s cadet division. Continued on page 24
