ELECTION 2017

It’s an NDP sweep in Burnaby All four city ridings now in NDP hands By Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It was a wild ride Tuesday night at Burnaby’s NDP election headquarters – but, in the end, the ride stopped just where Team Orange wanted it to. Supporters were riding an emotional rollercoaster as they watched provincial results come in on the big screen at the Burnaby Firefighters’ Public House, with Liberal and NDP results seesawing across the province. At press time, Burnaby appeared set for an orange sweep, New Democrats were leading or elected in all four of the city’s ridings: Raj Chouhan in BurnabyEdmonds, Anne Kang in Burnaby-Deer Lake, Katrina Chen in Burnaby-Lougheed and Janet Routledge in Burnaby North. Chouhan, the only candidate to arrive early in the evening, was the first whose seat looked secure. As of press time, Chouhan had 8,892 votes to Liberal opponent Garrison Duke’s 5,422, returning him to office with an easy margin. He appeared relaxed through the night, chatting with supporters and watching with a smile as his Burnaby compatriots began to take the lead in their respective ridings. “This was the first time all four campaigns worked so close together, each and every day,” he said in his victory speech, adding a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers. “We only won because of you.” Chouhan was enthusiastic in his welcome to Kang – who arrived shortly before 10 p.m., beaming and carrying a bouquet of flowers. “Now we have a very dynam-

ic new MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake,” he said to the cheers of the crowd. Kang herself – accompanied by her husband, Diego Lin, and seven-year-old son,Theodore – couldn’t stop smiling after she pulled off a decisive win over Liberal challenger Karen Wang, who took 4,250 votes to Kang’s 5,543. “I’m so thrilled! I can’t believe I was elected,” she said in an inter-

view with the NOW after her victory speech. On a night when the fate of many ridings still hung in the balance, Kang attributed her victory to all the time she and her team put in to talk to voters – and to take the time to really listen. “It’s just being in the community all the time. It’s the community connections I have built,” she said. Kang told the crowd she made

the jump from municipal to provincial politics because she understands what an important role the British Columbia government plays in people’s lives. “As a teacher and a mother, I was driven by a passion for improving education and services for kids, including child care and better health care,” she said. “This election was all about you.

Chen had 8,421 votes to Liberal challenger Steve Darling’s 6,830 as the NOW went to press. Routledge was leading by 1,076 over Liberal incumbent Richard T. Lee.

Election2017 LEE, DARLING LOSE

‘We knew it was going to be a very tight riding’ Steve Darling, Liberal candidate for Burnaby-Lougheed, says he found experience extremely rewarding By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby-Lougheed continues to bleed orange, according to preliminary results from Tuesday’s provincial election. School trustee and B.C. NDP candidate Katrina Chen won the MLA seat, beating former Global morning show host and B.C. Liberal candidate Steve Darling. At press time, only 47 of 73 polls were reported, with Chen at 8,421 votes and Darling at 6,830

votes. Some 40 Liberal supporters gathered at the White Spot in Kensington Square on Hastings Street to cheer on Darling. The evening started with cheers as Darling made gains in the first few polls, but “boos” were heard as the crowd watched the New Democrats push ahead in Burnaby’s four ridings. Early on in the night, when it was close between him and Chen, Darling told the NOW he was exactly where he thought he would

be in the polls. “We knew that it was going to be a very tight riding from the very beginning,” he said. Darling remained “super optimistic” and “excited” throughout the evening, doing multiple media hits. Asked if he learned anything about himself along the campaign trail, Darling said he always considered himself as someone people could rely on and trust. “When you put a team behind you and do something like this, they need

you to be upfront and be a leader,” he said. “And I’ve always been that in my career. I feel that I’ve been able to really lead this time.” The MLA hopeful added he found the whole experience “extremely rewarding” and wouldn’t have done anything differently with his campaign. “We tried to be as positive as possible and that’s what I think is missing these days in politics. I’m not someone who’s going to be mean or take shots at people.That’s not my style. ... So I’m ex-

tremely excited about the campaign we ran.” Over in Burnaby North, 78 out of 85 polls had been counted by press time. NDP candidate Janet Routledge was leading with 8,174 votes, followed by Liberal candidate Richard Lee with 7,098. Watching the returns at his campaign office on Hastings Street, Lee said he was “first excited and then a little disappointed.” He attributed the NDP’s sweep in Burnaby to two issues.

“I’m not sure, but I think some issues regarding Kinder Morgan,” he told the NOW. “I think that’s one issue, and also the teachers – they’re not so happy with some of the past history of the negotiations with the government.” As for his future in politics, he wasn’t ruling anything out. “It’s hard to say. People say once you get the bug, the political bug, you can never get rid of it,” he said.

Pharmacy robber loses appeal of jail sentence Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Seven years in prison is not too much for 10 robberies, one attempted robbery and three counts of using an imitation firearm, according to a B.C. Court of Appeal judge who dismissed a Lower Mainland pharmacy robber’s appeal last month. Aosama Salim Hmod AlIsawi, a New Westminster resident, used an imitation firearm to rob or attempt to rob 11 small pharmacies in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam from September 2011 to January 2012. In the course of the robberies, the 49-year-old sometimes wore a mask and threatened to shoot the pharmacists, cocking or racking his gun, while demanding the pain medication Percocet. “These were predatory robberies, targeting vulner-

5 25

able small pharmacies, in a carefully planned and deliberately executed manner,” reads an April 26 ruling by Justice Sunni StrombergStein. Al-Isawi was convicted of the crimes in March 2014 and sentenced to seven years in jail in July 2016 after unsuccessfully challenging the constitutionality of the mandatory minimum one-year consecutive sentence for each count of use of an imitation firearm as being cruel and unusual punishment. Al-Isawi appealed the sentence, in part, his lawyer argued, because it was unfit “in the circumstance of the offences and the offender.” Al-Isawi was a captain in the Iraqi military during the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and sustained head trauma from shrapnel, according to reports presented at trial. He defected and was detained as a U.S. prison-

er-of-war for nine years before being sent to Canada. He worked as a forklift operator until he was injured in the workplace, and he developed a Percocet addiction after the drug was prescribed to him by his doctor to deal with chronic migraines and pain from his head injury. The trial judge, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher, recognized Al-Isawi’s circumstances as mitigating factors but noted the offences were violent, the victims vulnerable and the crimes happened in multiple locations over a span of three-and-a-half months. Stromberg-Stein upheld his decision. “In my view, the trial judge considered the appropriate factors and did not err in his assessment of the factual circumstances of the offender and the offences,” she stated.

HEALTH SEMINAR IN BURNABY Mayor touts city’s accomplishments Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Growth and development once again dominated Mayor Derek Corrigan’s speech during the annual state of the city address last Thursday. Burnaby’s business community got to listen in on what kind of projects are happening around town and what staff have planned for the future at the event, hosted by the Burnaby Board of Trade.

That wealth we’ve created is being transferred “Our development of complete communities is primarily happening in our four town centres, as set out in our city’s plans more than 20 years ago, where we’re creating opportunities for high-density buildings and, at the same time,

adding the kinds of services that are viable when there is sufficient population to support them,” Corrigan told the crowd. Development in Burnaby remained “robust,” noted the mayor, with the city handing out nearly $820 million worth of building permits in 2016, compared to $879 million in 2015, the highest in the city’s history. All that development has given staff, through the Community Benefit Bonus Policy, a chance to get the ball rolling on more projects, Corrigan told the NOW after the event.The policy allows additional densities within the four town centres.Twenty per cent of contributions go into a housing fund to support housing-related projects, while the remaining 80 per cent goes towards community amenities such as parks and pools. “We’re at a stage where that wealth we’ve created is being transferred into those kinds of options,” Corrigan said, pointing to the construction of 276 units of transitional, non-market

and seniors’ rental housing, and the $8.5 million the city is investing in building 181 non-market family and seniors’ units in the Edmonds Town Centre’s Southgate neighbourhood. Corrigan also brought up council’s decision to help the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion (BACI) by giving the organization $1.6 million of bonus density money. The money subsidizes the land and servicing costs for 42 years, allowing BACI to

go forward with its plans to build 15 non-market housing units for people with developmental disabilities. The mayor also noted more than 1,500 new purpose-built market rental units and more than 4,000 secondary rental units (including secondary suites) are under construction or in the rezoning process.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Our hopes for the new B.C. government As we write this we don’t know who the winners and losers are in this provincial election.That news is on our front page, and it went to press long after this editorial. But we do know some things for sure. And we do hope for others. If the B.C. Liberals retain the government – majority or minority – we hope they’ve heard the unease of many in B.C. who feel the government has been a winner-take-all kind of game. It wouldn’t hurt the Liberals

to take a moment and ponder what policies the other two parties support and consider, just consider, that perhaps more than 50 per cent of voters would like to see some recognition that their principles and policies matter in B.C.We don’t expect the Liberals to backtrack on LNG, Site C or Kinder Morgan – they’ve dug those trenches pretty deep. But there’s still a lot of wiggle room where transit is concerned in the Lower

Mainland, and it would be a big step towards reconciliation if the Liberals opened up a new honest, non-partisan discussion on the issue. Given the rather barefisted campaign, we understand there’ll be wounds to lick and grudges to carry, but all parties must surely recognize that fostering a continuing campaign/war model is neither good for B.C. nor good for democracy. It’s certainly one of the reasons that more voters are saying they are sick of politi-

cians of any stripe. If the NDP form the next government, we have the same advice for them.To be sure, they’ve run on several promises they must institute. If they don’t keep those promises, they’ll lose voter trust and be pummelled (rightly so) by the media. But they need to recognize that rebalancing the political landscape in a hurry may leave them with the same problems that the Liberals have, albeit on the other end

of the spectrum. The Greens are, in many ways, in a win-win position.They have a chance to look like mediators, leaders and principled politicians in what could be a very rancorous legislature.We hope Andrew Weaver’s display of pugnacious campaigning was just that – a way to show that he could punch with the big guys, and that it wasn’t a model for how he will deal with issues or people in the legislature. No matter who is elect-

ed, we hope they remember they are governing for all of the folks in B.C. – not just the one’s who’ve made it, not just the struggling folks, not just their own friends and supporters. We think we can safely assume that every voter in B.C. wants government to be more transparent and more accessible and more representative, no matter who is elected. Let’s hope that whoever wins governs with honesty, wisdom and compassion.

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Whistleblowers need protection

It was a brief news item lost in the swirl of the election tornado. A motion by two Vancouver city councillors to beef up whistleblower protection in city hall was shuffled back to staff to “conduct further consultations, specifically to consult with labour unions and labour organizations that represent staff within the city.” Adriane Carr was pushing for the motion after the city lost out on a controversial $65-million land swap deal. It’s hard to say what, if any, enhanced whistleblower protection would have had on the whole deal – but it caught my attention.Why? Because I believe whistleblower protection is critical to the future of local democracies. An exaggeration, some might say. But I think it’s an understatement. Let’s face it, the days when city hall staff would drop off big brown envelopes to newspaper offices are almost over. Almost, I say, because I still get all weak-kneed when a big brown envelope appears on my desk with no return address on it. Sadly, nowadays, it’s usually someone’s vanity press book. There are a lot of reasons for this. Firstly, the media ranks are reduced and, unfortunately, those left in the business have less time to go out and nurture sources over coffee in dark cafés. And those same sources were usually the ones dropping off those big brown envelopes. Secondly, whistleblower protection in

B.C. municipalities and cities is largely contained in collective agreements between the unions and city hall. (There is whistleblower protection in the B.C. government ministries and governmental bodies.) And since those rules are subject to bargaining, deals are made.Those deals often involve the union getting something in return for not enhancing whistleblower protection if the party in power is a union-supporting party.There was whistleblower protection in Burnaby’s bargaining proposals years ago, and, surprise, it went away by the time the final deal was sealed. It doesn’t take a political scientist to realize a city hall run by politicians dependent on voters’ confidence doesn’t want embarrassing mistakes or, worse, corruption to be part of a whistleblower’s case made public. In fact, it’s kind of a conflict of interest to even expect them to root for more whistleblower protections. Without strong protection, what city employee who hopes to retire with a sweet pension wants to risk it all to reveal political influence in city hall, or substandard materials being used, or simply favouritism to certain developers? Not surprisingly, they make movies about whistleblowers just because it’s not very common. Part of the problem is that there is no single standard for whistleblower Continued on page 7

Lettersnow Teach kids how to think Dear Editor: I recently went to a “career fair” at my son’s elementary school. Grade 5 to 7 students were assigned the task of presenting a wide variety of possible careers, including pros and cons of each. One of the classes tackled the issue of diminishing farmland in the Lower Mainland. The teacher proudly exclaimed the class came to a consensus that the farmland is being bought up by rich developers that want the land for the sole purpose of building extravagant mansions. And the government is doing a poor job of disallowing this type of development. I queried the kids doing the presentations on various ideas, including: are only mansions being built on these lands? Could vertical farming be utilized as a solution to the issue? Are there any arguments that could be considered contrary to the ones being presented? The answers I got were uniform and consistent. I queried the teacher in the same manner. She implied the kids came up with their ideas on their own. When I asked if she encouraged them to possibly look at/argue for other perspectives, she was defensive and dismissive, as if there really was no other reasonable perspective. I left wondering whether these kids are being taught to think for themselves and encouraged to be diverse in their thinking, or whether they are being taught what and how to think and rewarded for following the ideology of their teacher(s). I’m afraid the latter is the truth. I fear teaching my son to think for himself is an exercise in contradiction to what he is being

shown at school. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, I believe we should encourage our kids to look at all sides of an issue and be allowed to differ from the majority if that is their inclination. Too often teachers simply look for validation of their own ideologies and the kids fall in step. My hope is that teachers will read this and ask themselves if they are truly teaching kids how to think, or what to think. Dan McMechan, Burnaby

Protect whistleblowers

Continued from page 6 protection.There is a law that covers federal whistleblowers, and there is provincial protection. But there is no blanket protections for city employees in many municipalities and towns.While some municipalities may make them part of a union collective agreement, that doesn’t cover non-union staffers. And, again, it can change depending upon the next collective agreement. If we are to assume the mainstream media is going to get more splintered and weaker in the future, it makes abundant sense to beef up all whistleblower protections and make them mandatory in all government offices and levels in B.C. Someone needs to be able to speak out about what goes on behind closed doors on the taxpayers’ dime. Pat Tracy is the editor the Burnaby NOW and NewWest Record newspapers.

Corrigan said it’s a reality for all MetroVancouver cities. “There isn’t a mayor in the region that isn’t dealing with the same issue.The price of land and the limited amount of land available in the Lower Mainland is causing everyone to reach the point of unaffordability. “As long as you’re getting 35,000 to 40,000 people a year, somebody has to accept that growth. If we start spreading out into the agricultural land in the valley, we’re going to lose big assets. Our view has been let’s move them really close to transit in dense developments,” he explained.

LOUGHEED

The Lougheed Core Area Conceptional Master Plan: rezoning development applications for Phase 1 include more than 150,000 square feet of commercial space and more than 1,500 apartment units; in addition, a rezoning application for 645 new purpose-built rental units on the Lougheed Village site has been submitted.

EDMONDS

The Southgate Neigh-

bourhood Master Plan will transform the industrial site into a neighbourhood with a public park, and will include 600,000 square feet of alternative housing density allocated for non-market and co-op housing.

METROTOWN

A final draft of the Metrotown Development Plan update will be presented to council this summer (the mayor has told the NOW he expects it by June).

Voting fun: Lyndhurst Elementary School students line up to cast their ballots Monday in a parallel B.C. provincial election put on by Student Vote. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Students have their say By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Students at more than 50 Burnaby public schools, private schools and alternate education sites got an object lesson in democracy this week.

One day ahead of the B.C. provincial election, students cast ballots in a Student Vote parallel election put on by CIVIX, a national registered charity dedicated to building citizenship skills among young Canadians. The program provides

schools with election materials, like ballot boxes, voting screens and ballots listing the actual candidates in their school’s riding. Students at Lyndhurst Elementary prepared by studying party platforms Continued on page 10

City now Kids head to the polls Continued from page 9 and then forming their own parties. Some of the parties that grown-ups casting ballots on Tuesday didn’t get to vote for included the Namaste Liberals, the Leafy Greens and the Maroctiv Pats, a hard-right party. “I let them go with it,” said teacher-librarian Kae Solomon, who organized the mock election at Lyndhurst. “The only thing I said was, ‘Well, you’re going to have to be accountable at the end, when the other groups challenge you and ask you questions.You have to be able to say how this is going to impact the future of B.C.” Solomon initially thought Grade 4 and 5 students might be too young for the vote, but she’s since changed her mind. “They really seemed to understand the platform issues and why they’re important and just the fact that they’re going to grow up and inherit what we’ve got here in B.C.,” she said. The voting results weren’t available by press time.

‘Lovebirds of the community’ honoured Tereza Verenca tverenca@burnabynow.com

Stunned. That’s the word Lindy McQueen used to describe how she felt after hearing she and her husband Jim had been named the City of Burnaby’s Outstanding Citizens of theYear for 2016 for their volunteer efforts. “I guess what we do is we just consider it fun and when the opportunities present themselves, we go and do it,” Lindy told the NOW. “It’s no big accomplishment to us. Getting the award certainly is, but for us, being out in the community is such a pleasure.” The McQueens began volunteering in 2005/06, after their retirement, at Gordon Presbyterian Church. Since then, they’ve donated thousands of hours to different organizations and events in Burnaby.The list includes: the Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car Show; the Festival of Lights where they play Mr. and Mrs. Claus; the Burnaby Seniors’ Games; the TaekwondoWorld Championships; the community policing advisory committee; the community garden in Edmonds; and the Edmonds Bike Fair. They have also used their own money to buy food and other goods for people in need, such as snacks and drinks for KRIB (Kids Recreating in Burnaby)Youth Centre. For Jim, volunteering is about being able to connect with his community. “Without volunteers in the community, a lot of things wouldn’t happen, or they would cost the city a fair amount of money. … It’s just a matter of looking

TIRELESS HELPERS: Jim and Lindy McQueen have been named Burnaby’s Outstanding Citizens of the Year for 2016. to see what the needs are in the community and to see if something interests me and can help,” he said. Lindy said volunteering gives her an opportunity to be involved. “The thing is, you get to know so many people and you get to know about your community.That to me is just wonderful, that we can connect people and have that ability to problem shoot or whatever you want to call it.” The couple was nomi-

nated for the award by Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis, who told the NOW it took him longer to track down all the organizations the McQueens were involved with than putting the application together. “It gave me an appreciation for how much they do. I’ve seen them at all sorts of events I’ve attended, and they keep coming to them and keep supporting the community,” he said. “It’s such a wide variety of things they volunteer for, from one

end to the other. ...Where they volunteer at is just incredible.” City council praised the McQueens for their volunteerism at one of its meetings, with the mayor noting it’s been a long time since the accolade was given to a couple. “It’s happened before, but in this case, I don’t think you can separate the two. They do work as a team,” said Derek Corrigan. Coun. Paul McDonell said the McQueens are “the

PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

epitome of volunteering.” “The thing about these two people is they’re not out there bragging about what they’re doing.They’re a cornerstone to what’s been happening out there.” Coun. Anne Kang called them the “lovebirds of the community.” “It’s not just them volunteering, it’s also getting the community excited and volunteering together with them,” she said at the meeting. Coun. Pietro Calendino

agreed. “There is no public event in Burnaby where you do not find Jim and Lindy. They’re everywhere.There’s so much they do that it’s incredible two senior citizens ... can dedicate so much time to the community without ever expecting anything in return,” he said. The McQueens were awarded the Kushiro Cup during an appreciation dinner on May 5.

Serving Breakfast in Bed on Mother’s Day

Few gestures of affection create a stir as much as presenting a loved one with breakfast in bed. On special occasions, treating a loved one to breakfast in bed can get their big day off on the right foot. The success of such an endeavor often boils down to following a few tips. • The surprise of breakfast in bed is almost as important as the presentation. Make sure everyone keeps the secret and rises early enough to prepare the meal. Time the meal so that it is ready when the person of honor typically awakes.

• Add small details to make the breakfast even more special. Use heart- or flower-shaped cookie cutters to add whimsy to everything from pancakes to fruit. A hand-written card or poem is another nice touch. Breakfast in bed is a special treat for any family member. Employing a few strategies for success can make it that much more special. - Metro Creative

• Banging and clanking in the kitchen does not a relaxing morning make, so select an easily prepared dish to cut back on the noise. Store- or restaurant-bought foods can still make a nice impression if they are dressed up. • Adult supervision is a must when young kids are cooking. This ensures everything goes safely and smoothly while still giving kids the chance to pitch in. • Delegate some tasks to kids. A young child may be able to arrange flowers in a vase, while a slightly older child may be more adept at slicing toast or helping to flip pancakes. The breakfast should be a joint effort so that the person treated to breakfast knows everyone involved cared enough to pitch in. • Choose easy-to-eat foods. Crumbly and messy foods are not the ideal fit for breakfast in bed. No one wants to spill food onto pillows or go to bed the next evening to find a pile of crumbs beneath the sheets. Finger foods or bite-sized items that can be popped into the mouth will not make much of a mess. Crepes may be a nice alternative to messier muffins. Serve coffee or tea in a cup with a lid to help prevent spills. Breakfast in bed can make anyone feel pampered on a special occasion.

• Invest in a food tray to make serving breakfast in bed that much easier. A bedside table or nightstand also can fit the bill.

LUMINOSITY

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Burnaby-based Amabilis Singers are performing Luminosity at Holy Rosary Cathedral in Vancouver. DETAILS, PLEASE: Luminosity is a rarely heard composition by British composer James Whitbourn, a 30-minute piece that explores light, love and profound truths through the texts of great spiritual writers including St. John, St. Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich and St. Isaac of Nineveh. Whitbourn combines choral settings with Eastern and Western instruments: organ, viola, tam-tam (a percussion instrument) and tanpura (a plucked string instrument). The fusion of styles and traditions promises to be particularly remarkable in the stunning acoustic of Holy Rosary. The program will also include a cappella works

by Ramona Luengen, Frank Ticheli and Peteris Vasks. WHO’S INVOLVED? Amabilis is a 60-voice community choir that rehearses regularly at New Westminster Christian Reformed Church in

Burnaby. The singers are led by artistic director Ramona Luengen. For this concert, they will be joined by Roy Campbell on organ and Beth Nickel on viola, plus special guests. WHERE AND WHEN? Luminosity is on Saturday, May 27 at 8 p.m. at Holy Rosary Cathedral, 646 Richards St. (at Dunsmuir) in Vancouver. You can feel free to leave

the car at home; it’s a short walk from Granville SkyTrain station.

Thursday, May 25, 7 - 8:30 pm Choices Kitsilano Floral Shop & Annex 2615 W. 16th Ave. Vancouver

HOW DO I ATTEND? Tickets are $20 for adults and seniors. Children under 11 are free. Tickets are available at the door or can be reserved by calling 604503-2074. See www.amabilissingers. org for more details about the choir and the performance.

What is Probate?

Probate is a legal process administered by The Supreme Court of BC that proves your will is valid, current and confirms who your Executor is. Called STEPHEN M. MILLER, a “Representation Grant of Probate” it LAWYER gives your Executor the legal authority to represent you, wind up your legal and financial affairs, pay your debts and distribute assets to the people you want. The process is a maze of forms, official searches and legal jargon, and may take months to navigate. Once approved, the estate is required to pay a provincial tax of 1.4% of the estate’s value (Probate fees). With the timely advice and careful consideration, a Lawyer may be able to reduce or eliminate the requirement for Probate entirely, saving your family time, stress and money. Miller Law is here to assist you in navigating the maze, either through preplanning or in the event of a family loss.

ASK A LIFE COACH

Q A

I never seem to have enough time for anything. Can you help me with Time Management?

There is no such thing as Time Management. Once that second ticks by, it’s gone forever.You can never get it back. What you need to do is manage your time properly. We have DANIEL FUNG many distractions in our daily lives. We also do things that create no value. What I suggest is to log your daily activities for at least one week to see how you are spending your time. From there you can see how effective and productive you are. Most of my clients gain at least 10 hours back. Imagine what you can do with that time. That’s almost 22 days in a year. This is my last submission for Professional Talks.

ASK A MORTGAGE BROKER

Q A

LLOYD HEARING SOLUTIONS

ASK A LAWYER

Q A

How can I afford a house in the Vancouver market?

The first is to work with a dedicated mortgage broker. They can help you put together a strategy for saving for a down payment, fixing your credit, and offer customized solutions to fit your situation. They also have access to HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker an array of different lenders, allowing them to get you the best rate possible for your individual financial situation. Talking to them early and talking to them often can help tremendously during the process of house hunting. The second is to consider purchasing a property with a rental unit. The rental market in Vancouver and the surrounding areas has skyrocketed in the past few months, opening the door to a potential opportunity for homeowners. Having a tenant can help ease the burden of a larger mortgage by bringing in additional income.

AY is Better Hearing and Speech Month. It provides an opportunity to raise public awareness about hearing healthcare. Hearing loss usually develops so slowly that the individual is not aware of any changes from year to year. Family and friends usually are the first to become aware of their hearing loss. I recommend adults be screened for hearing impairment at least every decade through to age 50, then in 3-year intervals thereafter. Approximately 1 in 4 adults who could benefit from hearing aids has used them. There is a way to find out if they could help you, call Stuart today for your complimentary hearing screen. I found the most successful clients (starting with new hearing aids), are the ones who are informed of all the options available to help improve their communications. There is a common misconception that hearing aids are the “Cure All” for hearing loss. In reality, improving communication is a long term rehabilitative process, and the hearing aid and your hearing health provider are integral parts. Set realistic goals for yourself and know what to expect from your hearing aids and your health provider - To be successful, you must be committed, motivated and educated about your role in this process. Ensure that each of the following facets of the rehabilitation process is offered by your hearing health provider: - Education, Expectations & Goals, Follow-Up, Adjustment Counselling, and Communication Strategies. In summary, simply purchasing hearing aids will not ensure improved communication, and it is important to remember that hearing aids are not a “quick fix” purchase. They are simply the tools that provide the amplification you need to become a better listener and communicator. If you are motivated to improve your communication by obtaining amplification, re-learning to listen and engaging in an active rehabilitation process, then your chances for improved communication are excellent. We are a second generation family owned and operating business, proudly serving the Lower Mainland for 46 years. Your Hearing Is a Priceless Gift Don’t Take it for Granted, call Stuart today!

ASK A HEARING PRACTITIONER

Q A

Most of the time hearing problems begin gradually without discomfort or pain. Also, family members often learn to adapt to someone’s hearing without even realizing they are doing it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether hearing loss is present: STUART LLOYD 1. Do I often ask people to repeat Owner & Hearing themselves? Instructor Practitioner 2. Do I have trouble following conversations with more than two people? 3. Do I have difﬁculty hearing what is said unless I’m facing the speaker? 4. Does it sound like other people are mumbling or slurring their words? 5. Do I struggle to hear in crowded places like restaurants, malls and meeting rooms? 6. Do I have a hard time hearing women or children? 7. Do I prefer to TV or radio volume louder than others? 8. Do I experience ringing or buzzing in my ears? If you answered YES to several of these questions, chances are you do suffer from hearing loss.

Adults should aim to get Pharmacists at least 150 minutes of moderateto-vigorous activity weekly.

Eating low fat, high carbohydrate foods like crackers, or low fat fruit yogurt about an hour before exercise will top up your body’s fuel supply. Water is important and part of a good exercise program. Hydrate half an hour before exercise with one cup of water or diluted juice. During physical activity, drink a half to three-quarters cup every 15 20 minutes. Within 30 minutes after exercising, drink plenty of water to replace ﬂuids lost through sweat.

What options are available for my resting place?

Most people are familiar with burial or “Interment.” In fact, there are a variety of options available. Ground burial is burial of the casket below ground. A Mausoleum is a large building that provides aboveground entombments. In a Private Estate/ Mausoleum families may also have their own small section of a cemetery to keep their heritage together.

Many people overlook the importance of cemetery property for those who choose cremation, but permanent placement of the “cremated remains” is an important part of ﬁnal arrangements that provides their loved ones and future generations a place to visit, reﬂect and research their heritage.You may choose Ground Burial, a Cremation Niche: an above-ground space for urns, or a Columbarium, a niche wall often located within a mausoleum or chapel.

Rough road trip for Lakers Burnaby gets tested, bested on Island trip

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

As road trips go, the Burnaby junior Lakers’ tour of Vancouver Island hit its share of snags. But while they returned empty-handed, just like a wistful fisher, the Lakers are eyeing better results come the next day. Burnaby fell victim to the Victoria Shamrocks 18-11 on Saturday and 10-7 a day later in overtime to Nanaimo, leaving them still hunting for their second win of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season. Neither loss was of the ‘moral victory’ variety, as the visitors held leads at different points in both games only to get caught flatfooted as the home teams unveiled their come-from-behind skills. In Victoria, Burnaby held leads of 2-1 and 3-2 before a five-goal run for the home team set the tone for the rest of the game. Markers from Jordan Gabriele, Mason Pomeroy and Ryan Johannson had the visitors in the driver’s seat, at least briefly. But the Shamrocks replied with five goals over 5:45 minutes to grab a commanding lead with still two periods to play. “I thought we were very engaged and focused to start.We were up for the challenge (againstVictoria),” remarked Lakers coach Jason Dallavalle. “We got the early lead, but unfortunately, they got a couple of breaks.We had a couple of breakdowns and they ran with it.” While Burnaby would close the gap to three goals early in the third, Victoria replied – and then some. Pomeroy finished with three goals and two assists, while Josh Dumont,Tyler Smith and Gabriele tallied two apiece. A day later in Nanaimo, the Lakers held shortlived leads of 3-1 and 4-3 and showed resilience after the T-men counted three goals in the third to take a 6-4 advantage. Markers by Dumont and Pomeroy put the game to extra time. In overtime, Burnaby jumped ahead on Dumont’s fourth of the day, a powerplay tally just 35 seconds into the extra 10-minute frame. Barely a minute later, Nanaimo’s Jake Mikelson tied it, and 16 seconds later Tyson Black put the home team in front for good. “I’m hoping this is rock bottom and it’s all up from here,” Dallavalle said. “We’re missing eight players and four of them are expected back this week. … What I liked was, even when times got tough, the guys never gave up.They battled.” Burnaby visits Langley on Thursday, and plays Delta next Monday at the Copeland Sports Complex.

T-birds hold hammer in rugby ﬁnal

It was déjà vu all over again – and not in a good way. The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s men’s premier squad fell behind 19-0 before they knew what hit them, as the archrival UBC Thunderbirds rolled to a 29-17 decision in the B.C. club final Saturday in Abbotsford. It was the second straight year UBC defeated Burnaby in the final for the Rousefell Cup, with the 2016 decision by a similar margin. For the T-birds, it all turned on a powerful start, where they counted three tries in the first half and launched the second half with two more tries. Andrew Coe set the tone for the Point Grey group, scoring three tries while Adam McQueen counted three converts.

Before they knew it, the hole was 26-0. It appeared the game was all but over except for the singing, but Burnaby wasn’t willing to wave the white flag. After a third-quarter penalty put Burnaby on the board, the underdogs gained their footing to make a stand. Displaying impressive resilience, the Lakers pulled the score to 26-12 on Cole McQueen’s try with 13 minutes remaining.While Lucas Albornoz added a late try to cut the deficit to 9 points, the missed convert proved to be their last scoring chance. UBC added a last-second penalty kick to round out the offence. The Lake crew entered the final with momentum and a good regular season result – having topped UBC 52-7 two months earlier.

But that decision was deceiving, as the T-birds fielded a mostly premier-reserve roster due to a conflict of games. Burnaby posted the only unblemished record during the regular season, going 8-0. The UBC lineup includes Burnaby native Niko Clironomos. Burnaby advanced to the finals by beating Seattle 20-11 a week ago, following a recipe similar to what UBC did in the final. Burnaby bounded out to a 17-3 first half lead, but had to defend against a determined rally from the opposing side. Jeke Gotegote scored the Lakers’ lone try while Mike Godall connected on four threepointers.

SFU quartet sets new GNAC relay record

Stoked by a new conference record and an individual personal best, things continue to look up for Simon Fraser University’s track and field team. The women’s 4x100 metre relay team ran the fastest time in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history en route to second place at the Oxy Invitational in Los Angeles on the weekend. The quartet of Valda Kabia, Chantel Desch, Kira Pederson and Katherine Lucas finished the event in 46.19 seconds, shaving 3/10ths of a second off their previous best result, and placing a close second behind the top NCAA

team at the meet. Meanwhile, sophomore runner Addy Townsend climbed to sixth overall in the NCAA national rankings in the women’s 800m event by registering a PB of 2:07.99, second behind UC-Santa Barbara’s Jenna Hinkle. Townsend’s time was the ninth fastest in GNAC Div. 2 history, and the quickest this season in the conference. “It was a great meet (Saturday) and I’m very excited about the possibilities that came from the performances,” Clan head coach – and proud mom – Brit Townsend said.

The Oxy Invitational attracted many of the top NCAA Div. 1 and 2 programs, along with various American clubs. Moving her PB to a new level was junior Sophie Dodd, who clocked in at 2:09.11 in the 800m, her first-ever time under 2:10. It puts her within range of qualifying for the nationals. In 12th spot stands SFU’s Alana Mussatto, with a time of 2:08.79. With all their rivals in the women’s 4x400m relay taking a pass due to unfavourable weather, the SFU squad of Mussatto,Townsend, Dodd and Desch pressed on and knocked two seconds off their

best time, putting them at 18th in the NCAA. For the second week in a row, Simon Fraser’s Miryam Bassett ran a PB in the 1,500m, lowering her time from 4:30.44 to 4:30.01. Bassett’s performance lifted her to 22nd on the national charts and gives her a chance to earn an invitation to nationals. In the 3,000m steeplechase, Chelsea Riberio ran a personal best of 11:16.05, placing her sixth in the GNAC. The GNAC Outdoor Championships will be held at Western Oregon University on May 12 and 13 in Monmouth, Oregon.

OBITUARIES

KOUWENHOVEN, Dirk A. May 21, 1942 − April 25, 2017 It is with love and deep sadness we say farewell to Dirk A. Kouwenhoven (Dick), who was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, and a cherished friend and mentor to many. Hailing from the historic city of Delft in the Netherlands, Dick was the ninth child in a vibrant family of 12. Born during World War II in German−occupied Holland, Dick often recalled the joyful celebrations in the streets of Delft following the liberation on May 5, 1945. Dick’s father, a second−generation carpenter, maintained a busy workshop at the back of the family home, which was an endless source of fascination for Dick and his siblings. The hand−crafted wooden windows and doors his father produced would inspire Dick’s pursuit in another craft, as a type compositor and printer. Working as an apprentice at a local print shop while attending technical school in nearby Rotterdam, Dick began a long and successful career in the printing industry.

Doreen passed away peacefully on May 2, 2017. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Carol (Stewart), son Bryan, grandchildren Trevor, Tyson, Julia, Anna and many very dear friends. Doreen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. She moved to Vancouver in her early 20’s, marrying her sweetheart, Vic in 1950. They moved to New Westminster in 1964 where she became very active in many areas of the city. She was president of the Rotary Ladies, volunteered in various places and loved to sing so she joined numerous chorales over the years. Doreen was a very caring, thoughtful person always putting the needs of others before her own. She will be forever in our hearts. A Celebration of Life will be held Monday May 22, 2017 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the family home in New Westminster where Doreen lived. Please join us. RSVP Carol at 604-936-1330. Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881

At the urging of his younger brother John, the two brothers decided to immigrate to Canada in January of 1965, joining their older siblings Simon, Frank and Bill. Dick and John traveled by train from Montreal to Vancouver seeing for the first time the scale and beauty of their new country and the adventure and opportunity it offered. In Vancouver, Dick found employment as a typesetter at a local printing company and six months later, he found himself handling production at a small two−person print shop called Hemlock Printers.

BAUER, Anna Marie

October 30, 1930 - April 29, 2017 Anna, a long-time resident of New Westminster may have been short in stature but she was big in heart! She is survived by Cathy, her daughter, Jim, her son-in-law, her 2 grandsons, Brodie and Kevin, her sister Francis and her niece Cecilia (Rick). All of her working career was in New Westminster, starting with the local Cannery and Peat Farm. Later a 2week part time job for a local insurance company turned into a 15+ year career. After her retirement and the death of her beloved husband John, she loved her volunteer position with the Royal City Musical Theatre Society. She loved being around family and friends. Unfortunately, her kind heart was overworked and she passed away quietly on April 29th, 2017. A Funeral Mass to celebrate her life will be held at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Monday, May 15th at noon. Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881

BOON, Danny

In early 1966, Dick met the love of his life, Klaaske (Clara), who was visiting her older sister and brother, also Dutch immigrants to Canada. They married in December of 1967, with daughter Vanessa born in 1969 and son Richard born in 1972. Dick’s near 50−year career at the helm of Hemlock Printers officially began in the summer of 1968 after he purchased and incorporated the company. In the early 1970’s, Dick was joined by brother and business partner John, followed by brothers Bill and Frits who, along with other dedicated staff, laid the foundation for a thriving and continually evolving printing business. Dick had a dedication to quality, to ’doing things right’ with pride and care, and to respect and support everyone he worked with. He navigated Hemlock through generations of technological change and turbulent economic times, while always looking ahead and maintaining his principles of respect and integrity. The successful business, which thrives to this day, is a testament to Dick’s passion for his craft and for the inspirational leadership he provided to the entire Hemlock ’family’. Over his decades in business, countless relationships were formed with clients, suppliers, industry peers and non−profit and community organizations, all of whom experienced Dick’s perpetual optimism, creativity, intellect and his wonderful sense of humour. Dick’s adventurous spirit led to many family vacations with Clara and the kids, which are the source of many fond memories, stories and laughter. He was an avid sailor spending weekends and holidays exploring the San Juan and Gulf Islands on the family boat, the Delft Blue. In the 80’s and 90’s, Dick’s sailing adventures also took him to Hawaii on three occasions, once as lead (and winning) navigator. We lost him too soon but take comfort in the knowledge that he lived a full, active and accomplished life, which affected so many in a positive way. To his family and friends, Dick was always a loving and caring spirit who will live forever in our hearts. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 49 years, Clara (nee Boonstra), daughter Vanessa (Mike), son Richard (Pippa), his four grandchildren Genevieve, Jonathan, Georgina and Naomi, his surviving siblings Andries (Dingena), Joke, Frank (Shirley), Bill (Sieny), Henk (Jannie) and Frits (Darlene), and his many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Dick’s Life, open to his family, friends and colleagues will take place on Saturday, May 27th from 2:00PM−4:30PM at the Vancouver Convention Centre (West Building). If you wish to attend, please RSVP by emailing celebrationoflife@hemlock.com. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to the BC Cancer Foundation.

Danny was born on December 6, 1950 and passed away on Saturday April 8, 2017. He was predeceased by both his parents; Doug and Audrey. Danny you will be forever missed by your sister Susan, niece Tracy, great nephews Shea and Macklin, relatives and the many friends you made during your lifetime. Cremation and no service at this time.
