Are you mixing your peels with garbage?

By Tereza Verenca tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents would get a failing grade for recycling if marks were handed out after a special recyling audit last year.

More than half of Burnaby residents’ garbage is contaminated with recyclable or compostable waste, according to a select 2016 audit.

The City of Burnaby studied 100 single- and two-family households from each collection zone over two weeks last summer. The study showed garbage had a contamination rate of 52 per cent, consisting of yard material and food scraps (40 per cent) and recyclable materials (12 per cent).

“We’ve had the food scraps program in place since 2010, so doing an audit and seeing that 60 per cent of the residents aren’t setting out their food waste is pretty significant,” says Tracey Tobin, an environmental services officer with the city.

The audit, included in the 2016 solid waste and recycling annual report released last week, showed 85 per cent of

Liberal MP votes against pipeline Beech:‘I did promise that I would take my constituents’ voice to Ottawa and not the other way around’

By Tereza Verenca tverenca@burnabynow.com

Terry Beech was one of two Liberal MPs who voted against a motion in support of Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain expansion project in the

House of Commons last week.

Conservative MP Mark Strahl introduced the motion, which affirmed that the $7.4-billion pipeline expansion project has social licence to proceed, is critical to the economy and the cre-

ation of thousands of jobs, is environmentally sound and should go ahead as planned.

It passed by a vote of 252 to 51, with all Liberal MPs backing it except for Beech, the MP for Burnaby NorthSeymour, and Hedy Fry, the MP for Vancouver Cen-

tre.

“I do understand the government’s position. They’re trying to balance the economy and the environment. ... But at the end of the day, I did promise that I would take my constituents’ voice to Ottawa and not the oth-

‘It’s a very complex issue’ Continued from page 1 licence, states “people of Burnaby North-Seymour on balance stand opposed to this project, and that the community does not grant its permission for this project to proceed.” “(My vote) is a reflection of the report I wrote,” Beech told the NOW. “The reason I say that is because it’s a very complex issue. I literally spent years reading tens of thousands of pages of reports and talking to thousands of people, and I don’t think this issue is as easy as a yes or no answer. ... We need to look at the whole package of what the government is trying to do (to) balance the economy and the environment.”

Beech pointed to the “unprecedented” and “very progressive” changes that are underway to protect the environment for future generations, including transitioning to a low-carbon economy and restoring protections in the Fisheries Act. “Every day we’re trying to get that balance right,” he said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his cabinet’s approval of the expansion project last November. In January, Premier Christy Clark said Kinder Morgan had met the province’s five conditions.

When asked if there’s been any backlash from his Liberal colleagues or the prime minister him-

self as a result of his opposing vote, Beech chose not to comment. He also declined to comment on B.C.’s minority government and whether the B.C. NDP-Green alliance could stop the project, only saying, “it’s an interesting time for provincial politics.”

Twinning the pipeline, which will transport raw bitumen from Edmonton to Burnaby, will triple capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. Tanker traffic in the Burrard Inlet is also estimated to increase sevenfold.

Construction is expected to start this September, with a completion date of December 2019.

EDUCATION

Vacant city trustee seat will not be filled

By Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school board will be down a trustee until the next municipal election in October 2018.

Trustee Katrina Chen was elected MLA for Burnaby-Lougheed in last month’s provincial election, but she will not resign her school board seat – a move that would have triggered a byelection.

Instead, she requested an unpaid leave until Jan. 2, 2018, after which time a byelection will no longer be required under the Local Government Act. The school board’s remaining six trustees unanimously approved the leave at a meeting Tuesday.

“I guess our feeling was more around the cost,” chair Ron Burton told the NOW. “If

the city wants to run a byelection, we could tag on, but we don’t want to incur the cost on our own.”

Both city council and the school board are made up entirely of members of the Burnaby Citizens Association, an NDP-affiliated civic party.

With the election of Chen in BurnabyLougheed and Coun. Anne Kang in Burnaby-Deer Lake, both bodies are down a representative.

Last month, civic candidate and Metrotown Residents Association founder Rick McGowan, who ran unsuccessfully against Kang for the B.C. Greens, said a byelection could open up local government in Burnaby.

“It’s a good opportunity for somebody who’s not part of the BCA to get elected,” he said.

... and for people not to know,” says Peter McCartney, a climate campaigner with the non-profit, which has been a longtime opponent of the project. “We want folks to have all the information they need to get together and stop this pipeline.”

The twinning project

would triple capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil a day and increase tanker traffic sevenfold.

Construction is scheduled to start this September.

However, there are many factors at play.

The prime minister and Alberta’s premier stand by the pipeline, while the newly minted NDP-Green alliance have vowed to stop it with “every tool available.”

There are also numerous court cases involving First Nations groups and cities like Burnaby.

Kinder Morgan, meanwhile, announced it’s proceeding with the project.

MILLER LAW Knife attack: Burnaby RCMP and paramedics attend the scene of a double stabbing in North Burnaby Sunday afternoon. Police say the attack was likely targeted. PHOTO RYAN STELTING

Two men stabbed in North Burnaby attack Police believe attack was targeted, not random A double stabbing in North Burnaby sent one man to hospital Sunday.

Police were called to 4143 Parker St. at about 2:30 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.

They found two men who had been attacked with a knife.

A male suspect fled the

scene on foot.

A police canine unit searched the area, but police were unable to locate the man.

“We don’t believe it was random,” Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told the NOW. “We believe it was targeted to these individuals.”

One of the victims was taken to hospital with minor injuries, while the other refused to cooperate with police and declined treatment, Buis said.

The victims did not make the call to police or provide a description of the suspect, according to police.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t hold your breath for $10 daycare Families seeking daycare relief may be watching their children graduate from high school before seeing any meaningful changes in B.C. This wouldn’t be a big deal if young families weren’t already tapped out paying for mortgages, but a second mortgage in the form of child care fees is making life even less affordable.

What’s more, there is a daycare shortage in Burna-

by, with many working families struggling just to find a spot.

The truth is Canadians aren’t big on paying for other kids’ daycare and that’s why we have the patchwork system we have now. Even the federal government’s much vaunted daycare plan is targeted mostly to lowincome and marginal communities. While that’s good and needed, your average family is not likely to see

much benefit.

There is great ambivalence towards universal child-care supports in this country, unlike in some European countries, where it’s seen as an important pillar of society. Here, child care is seen as an individual responsibility.

Thus, tax credits are typically used to transfer money to families instead of a break on daycare fees. Subsidies are only for those in

the lowest income brackets while efforts are made to boost the number of daycare spaces through grants to operators, but those amounts rise and fall depending on the economy, government commitment, election cycle, etc.

In B.C., the $10-a-day plan proposed by the New Democrats is in jeopardy because of what is likely to be a short-lived NDPGreen partnership. Even if

that plan were to succeed, it would take years to fully roll out, while a switch back to a B.C. Liberal government or any downturn in the economy would kill it.

In Quebec, where a $7-aday plan gets the most attention, the realities of such a scheme have not lived up to the promise. Public daycare spots are limited, just as they are here, because governments are only willing to put so much mon-

ey into daycare; thus, only about a third of families get access to them, creating long waiting lists and concerns about substandard care.

So for B.C. to get a longterm, universal daycare plan, such as the NDP has pledged, is a tricky proposal at best and, sadly for thousands of families, may even be a non-starter.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. legislature still up in the air The only certainty that exists in B.C. politics right now is that we know the date when the legislature is being recalled. But that’s about it. There is a throne speech planned for that first day, June 22. But we don’t for sure yet whether it will be delivered because it is not absolutely certain the 87 MLAs can find a way to accomplish the first order at hand: electing a Speaker from among themselves.

Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal government house leader, did drop broad hints last week that his side would follow convention and put up one of their own members for the job, but he didn’t come right out and confirm that happening.

But let’s say they resolve the Speaker issue and get to the throne speech. The next bit of uncertainty is when there will be a vote on it.

There could be the normal week or so of debate, and then a vote. Or, the Opposition could move an amendment voicing rejection of the speech. In short, while it appears the B.C. Liberal government is in imminent danger of falling out of power, the exact date on which that may occur is far from clear.

Perhaps the biggest uncertainty of all is how Lt.Gov. Judith Guichon intends to respond to various scenarios that unfold. It is common wisdom that, if the Clark government does indeed fall, Guichon will turn to NDP leader John Horgan to see if he can form a stable government. The key word here, from Guichon’s point of view, is “stable.” She wants to see strong evidence

that whoever she turns to can provide that stability on an ongoing basis.

Can a one-seat majority provide that stability?

Consider how the B.C. legislature operates. The house spends most of its time in the “committee” stage to examine and debate pieces of legislation and the spending estimates of government ministries.

Under the rules of the Westminster parliament system, the speaker doesn’t sit in committee and in fact leaves the chamber. When that happens – assuming an NDP speaker – the B.C. Liberals will have the same number of MLAs (43) as the combined forces of the NDP and the B.C. Greens.

But the NDP and Greens would need to appoint a deputy speaker to chair that committee. Suddenly, the B.C. Liberals would have a numerical advantage: 43 seats to 42 (the deputy speaker only votes in the event of a tie).

Does that kind of scenario provide stability? According to B.C. Green leader Andrew Weaver, his side is toying with changing the rule that says the speaker must not sit in committee. But an arbitrary change of such a fundamental rule may be seen as a naked power grab, and who knows how the lieutenant-governor would view such a move. Maybe another election hovers into view (or maybe not).

The house returns June 22. We know that for sure, but not much more, and all this uncertainty will last quite a while yet.

He said he lived down the street. Brent got suspicious after the saw, loaned out at about 2 p.m., hadn’t been returned by dinnertime. He knew he’d been duped after knocking on doors at the end of the street.

Opinionnow Proportional system would favour B.C. cities

If you can’t afford child care, then stay home

Dear Editor: I was a bit alarmed reading the request for electoral reform as put forward by Iain Macanulty on June 9 (We need voting reform, Inbox, Burnaby NOW).

The population of British Columbia is 4.6 million.

3.1 million, or 67 per cent of the population, resides in the Greater Vancouver area and Vancouver Island. Yet the total land mass occupied by the Greater Vancouver area and Vancouver Island represents a paltry 0.6 per cent of the province.

As has become increasingly common in recent elections, the British Columbians who reside in the city areas of the southwest corner of the province desire to turn the rest of B.C. into a park, while the people whose livelihoods depend on developing and managing our resources wish to have continued access to jobs that aren’t in the city.

Lest anyone forget, the “21st-century economy” so desired by the Greens and presumably the NDP, relies on our province’s resources – the only reason we have wind power, solar and a growing technology sector is because we are able to mine our resources to provide engineering companies with the raw materials to make wind turbines, solar panels and computers.

We also do it the highest environmental standards in the world. Do we really want to create our 21st-century economy based on resources from parts of the world that have no regard for sustainability?

Don’t bring in a electoral system that is not representative of our province, but only of those who live ignorantly and so detached from reality in B.C.’s cities.

Dear Editor: Why should taxpayers have to pay more in taxes each year for a proposed child-care program? The taxpayers have to suffer for problems caused by fellow taxpayers with children who do not know how to budget their personal lives.

These people go and sell their home and buy another home with a larger mortgage payment. They trade their car in for a new car with payments lasting seven years. They decide to buy new furniture, paying for it by a credit card. Every weekend they go out to a restaurant for a family dinner and pay for the dinner with a credit card. Their lifestyle has now caused that both parents now have to have a job, all of the time forgetting that someone has to watch over the kids, another cost added to their underfunded lifestyle. These taxpayers should realize that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If they did not over extend themselves financially, daycare would not be needed because one parent would be able to stay home with the children, until the children reach the age of where they attend daily school. Just plain old economic sense.

The proposed child-care plan sounds great to these taxpayers in severe debt, but the plan also costs all taxpayers to pay more in taxes.

Quebec is the only province in B.C. that has a taxpayer-funded child-care program. The program started in 1997 at a yearly cost of $300 million per year. In 2015, that same program was costing the taxpayers of Quebec $2.6 billion per year. In eight years, the cost of the plan has increased 767 per cent. In summary, you debt-ridden taxpayers need to sit down with a financial consultant and totally forget about a taxpayer-funded child care plan.

While it’s too early to know how every-other-week pickup has impacted the diversion rate – the amount of waste diverted from the landfill – Tobin tells the NOW there’s been an upward trend over the last couple of years.

She says the 2015 diversion rate for green waste and recyclables was around 50 per cent, while the diversion rate last year was 53.3 per cent. The goal is to reach 80 per cent by 2020.

“We’re well on our way to get to 80 per cent diversion for the city,” says Tobin.

“We want people to keep doing what they’re doing.

We’d really like them to take

a deeper look at some of the materials that they might not be recycling – so some of the things you could drop off at our eco-centre, or items that you could drop off at any of the provincial depots.”

The city will do another audit on the same 100 households in the next few

We want people to keep doing what they’re doing

months to see what this year’s trend looks like.

Failing to separate waste means the city, and ultimately taxpayers, could face fines from Metro Vancouver, the organization responsible for disposing of the region’s waste, according to Tobin.

“When we haul the garbage to a Metro Vancouver facility, Metro Vancouver has their own inspectors on site, so what could hap-

pen is our trucks could be flagged to be inspected, meaning they will ask us to empty our loads,” she explains. “Their inspectors will review our loads, and if we breech the threshold that they allow for materials in our garbage stream, then the city automatically receives a violation.”

For example, a truck load of garbage can’t contain more than five per cent of organic material. Otherwise, it’s a 50 per cent surcharge of what the total load costs.

Residents, meanwhile, could face a $250 fine if they receive one too many violation notices for not properly disposing their waste, recyclables and compost.

Unsure when collection day is? The City of Burnaby has an app that provides reminders and allows users to locate drop off depots. There’s also a feature that allows for the reporting of missed collection, graffiti, street light outages and more. To download the app, visit my-waste.mobi/ Burnaby/.

MUJI on its way to city Cayley Dobie cdobie@burnabynow.com

A popular Japanese retailer known for its simple but functional goods is coming to Burnaby this summer.

MUJI recently announced plans to open its first Western Canadian store and has chosen Metropolis at Metrotown. MUJI, which translates to “no-brand quality goods” was founded in Japan in 1980 and has since opened 800 stores worldwide. The Burnaby location will offer household goods, apparel and food, according to a press release.

“Since we opened our first store in Canada in 2014, we received many requests from Vancouver and we know that people have been waiting for us,” said Toru Akita, president of MUJI Canada, in the release. “We are extremely excited to finally bring MUJI to Western Canada. While we know we already have fans in Vancouver, we hope to also share our philosophy with people who don’t know us yet.”

MUJI opened its first Canadian store in Toronto in 2014 and has since opened two more Ontario locations.

The Burnaby store will be the biggest Canadian location at 7,770 square feet.

Centre Seton Villa Retirement Supportive Housing & Assisted Living for Low Income Seniors

YOU DESERVE THE VERY BEST! The very best is affordable at Seton Villa Retirement Centre in North Burnaby. Subsidized supportive housing for independent seniors who are active and mobile. (we cannot accommodate wheelchairs or scooters).

Priority for seniors below $37,000 annual income.

Services include: • 24 hour staffing • Freshly prepared, 3 meals daily • Housekeeping & laundry • Personal care available • Extensive activity programs and outings • Caring atmosphere • Outstanding views

When it comes to the perfect office space, BOSS Business Centres offers more than just a beautiful building in a central location.

That is because BOSS – which stands for Business Office Services and Solutions – also gives clients access to a wide range of services and amenities, such as shared reception and administrative support, boardrooms, a fully equipped gym, rooftop patio, and more, according to BOSS owner Julian Clark.

Office space alternatives: Finding a solution you can be proud to call your own Growing small businesses: Five ways BOSS Business Centres can help Be a boss: Knowing when to lease and when to go month-to-month “What we like to make sure our service and our space are things Clients can be proud to call their own,” he says. BOSS Business Centres primarily has five types of clients, according to Julian, such as the professional, the entrepreneur, the counsellor, the satellite office and the non-profit or government agency.

Each of these clients has different needs – the counsellor or therapist needs comfortable furniture to meet with clients, dimmed lighting and a quiet and private environment, whereas the professional needs the full range of highend office support and services to run their business.

“We’re an extension of their business, whether we’re answering their calls for them, whether we’re qualifying those calls, whether we’re handling their couriers, whether we’re greeting their guests, whether they’ve rented space exclusively and want different kinds of furniture, we do all that for them,” Julian

says. BOSS Business Centres also provides clients with a welcoming ambiance, according to Julian. Creating a sense of community is important. BOSS hosts muffin days in the common area, so clients can grab a quick bite together, and wine and cheese nights in December.

“We really try to foster a friendly environment enabling meaningful connections between our clients,” Julian says. “We like to say we’re offering more than the four walls.”

But in the end, it all comes down to offering clients an ideal space in an ideal location, easily accessible by SkyTrain, bus, and the highway.

BOSS’s first business centre is on the fifth floor of a Class A building attached to Production Way SkyTrain station. That centre includes 34 offices, six of which can be used hourly, while the others are sublet month-to-month. And BOSS also has a technology business centre with nine offices on the sixth floor. BOSS Business Centres is located at 3292 Production Way in Burnaby.

YOUR

VA L E D I C T O R I A N S 2017 CELEBRATING BRIGHT FUTURES FOR THE CLASSES OF 2017 Graduation is a time of reflection. A time to celebrate and a time to look toward the future.

Thanks to the high schools in Burnaby, the Burnaby NOW celebrates this time through the words of the valedictorian’s from the Grad Class of 2017.

What follows are excerpts from their respective speeches.

ABORIGINAL E D U C AT I O N VA L E D I C T O R I A N : LY R I C P R E F O N TA I N E

Graduates of 2017 we are done, we made it, and if you’re anything like me you are one hundred percent ready to move on from the halls and classrooms of your high school and break out running at whatever life throws at you next. Our time for asking to go to the washroom and being declined are over. Whether you are moving on to college or university, starting a job, or taking a gap year, we have our entire lives ahead of us to igure out where we want to be. Follow your dreams, ful ill your bucket lists, and above all live the way you always wanted to.

I strongly believe I wouldn’t be standing here in front of all of you with the honour of being the valedictorian without my support system, so let’s take a second to thank our elders, friends and family because without them who knows where we would be today. And to all our teachers, I would like to thank them for putting up with us and believing in us even when we didn’t quite believe in ourselves. I would also like to thank my favourite Canadian artist who got me through all my tough times, Drake.

We started from the bottom, now we’re here!

Congratulations grads of 2017

ALPHA S E C O N D A RY S C H O O L VA L E D I C T O R I A N : PHILMAN YEUNG

We are going to face bigger problems, feats that seem impossible to overcome. The world is in a state of uncertainty - but it always has been.

We used to think that we’d magically get our lives together once we hit the old age of 18, but we realised that is not the case. We’re going to have to face the world head-on; except now we’re kinder, smarter, and stronger than we ever thought we could be. In the brief time we’ve spent in high school together, we truly made the experience ours. We should always remember to reminisce about the fun times, and the journey we’ve had together.

Here is my inal word of advice to you: Life and change is beautiful. Don’t forget that. There are good people in this world, and know that you are one of them. There’s a quote from my Grade 7 graduation yearbook that is still pretty relevant for today. It goes like this: “Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you’ll make a difference.”

BRITISH COLUMBIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF VA L E D I C T O R I A N : E T H A N B O LT O N

I grew up in Prince Rupert, attending a public school there. I had no deaf friends there. I came to BCSD when I was 13 years old. Here I am able to communicate in ASL, and have deaf friends.

I was able to learn more, and socialize with my friends. Many of us experienced the same thing.

BCSD supports us all with ASL, Deaf Culture and socialization. We cherish our school BCSD. I would like to thank my parents for their ongoing support. Thanks to my family and dorm staff for supporting me throughout secondary school. I would like to thank the BCSD staff: teachers and support staff for their wonderful support in school. I would not have made it this far without your help.

Now we will graduate and go out in to the world. Some of us will go to college.

Some of us will get jobs and work. Whatever our plans are, we will keep BCSD in our hearts, and keep in touch.

B U R N A B Y M O U N TA I N S E C O N D A RY S C H O O L VA L E D I C T O R I A N : JUNE LEE

Sometimes, it was the everlasting tire of Sunday night regrets crammed into inishing a project you de initely had more than a month to do.

Perhaps, in these times it felt as if good times would never come again. But we are at the end of the road now, and we stand hand-in-hand facing college and university applications, or entrance into the working world and we wonder if maybe, just maybe, this was the easiest part of it all.

The bumps and bruises of your adolescence are yours and only yours – they are there to wear with pride as you embark on your future endeavours. You have experienced high school in a way that no other Burnaby Mountain grad ever has; not just the ones sitting beside you, but any grad who has ever walked the halls of BMSS. In this time, Burnaby Mountain has been, is, and will be the place we know as home. For every footstep and handprint you made, for your laugh that ills the halls, this grad class is full of athletes, musicians, dancers, debaters, scholars… you have made an impact on Mountain as much as it has on you. When you walk through the school one last time, each eager memory will jump at you from every door, echo through the halls and land in what is now a part of your past.

SALUTES THE CLASS OF 2017!

The keys to your future are in your hands.

Come by and see us for a test drive this summer.

We are moving beyond the point in our lives where we just have to follow what is expected of us. These next years are going to be exactly what we make of them, and I think we can make them amazing. I look out into this crowd and I see people with ambition, intelligence and genuine heart. I think I speak for us all when I say that this is a bittersweet goodbye, because we will miss the sweet sound of “it’s collab tomorrow”, or “it’s a work study period”, or “it’s a sub, we’re not really doing anything.”

Many of us may be moving on this fall, but I think it’s important to take a look back at what we’ve survived. We’ve made it through a lot. To give you some context, when we started high school in 2012, “We Are Never Getting Back Together” was #1 on the Billboard charts. Remember her? Taylor Swift? Kind of a one-hitwonder if you ask me. We also survived the rise and fall of Vine, which is honestly still a little too painful to talk about, so let’s just move on.

Great apps may come and go, but as Winston Churchill once said, “success is not inal, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

We might need some of that courage coming up. The future might feel vast and scary right now, but I believe in us. If we survived ask.fm, we can survive anything.

B U R N A B Y N O RT H S E C O N D A RY S C H O O L VA L E D I C T O R I A N : B I L LY L I N

Four years and eight months ago, our fathers and mothers brought forth for us, upon this very city, a new level of education at Burnaby North, conceived in opportunity, and dedicated to our values of Excellence, Discovery, and Service.

We have proved our excellence in all aspects, may it be in Ultimate Frisbee, Soccer, Trivia, Debate, or our everyday academics - I’m looking at you, Daniel Lu! We’ve shown other schools how skilled we are and how formidable we are; but more importantly, we’ve shown ourselves how capable we are.

We have proved also our dedication to discovery, with our extensive course options, we’ve explored all aspects of the world, and then some. In science class, we have discovered the mechanics of miniscule, taught to us from the great minds of Versteeg, Shim, and the ever so admirable McPhee. We’ve also discovered whole new sides of ourselves that we never thought we would see, perhaps during a stressful test, but also maybe when we’re helping others understand something that we ourselves once struggled to understand.

Finally, we have most de initely ful illed our promise to serve our school and our community. From our numerous clubs like Leos Club, Christmas Cheer, We Youth Help, and more, to our awesome student government led by the ever sassy Kathy Xu, we have dedicated countless hours of our own free time to help others succeed.

BURNABY SOUTH S E C O N D A RY S C H O O L VA L E D I C T O R I A N : M I K E AYA S T E R E F E

Among all the feelings of hope and planning for the future, all of us have at least experienced some form of adversity. I, myself, have already seen signi icant losses among my friends, classmates, as well as personally. As a graduate of divorced parents and a person who has lost three family members over the course of three years, it has not been easy. However, I am proud to say that these hardships have not slowed me down. In fact, they have inspired me to work harder, encourage others to work harder, and show how anyone can achieve anything, no matter the circumstances. You may have failed a physics test once, twice, or three times. Maybe you didn’t have the con idence to ask your crush out, or failed to pass your road test miserably. Do not fret on these roadblocks. Rather, understand that life is going to ind a way to test you. At times, you may feel that life is unfair. The urge to quit during these times are the highest, but don’t give in; whatever your dream is, if it’s important to you, then ight for it. Just remember that there is more than one way to achieve your dreams; I want you to go ind that path and embrace it.

There will surely be roadblocks; however, they are not there to deter you from your goals. Rebels, please keep this in mind. When a vine meets a wall, does it stop growing? No, it does the unthinkable; it de ies gravity and climbs the wall. I ask each and every one of you to climb the many walls you will meet over the course of your lives. My challenge to you is this; do not let high school be the best ive years of your life.

CARIBOO HILL S E C O N D A RY S C H O O L VA L E D I C T O R I A N : NICOLAS WILLIAMS

Cariboo has been a very special second home for us, somewhere where we could all grow up into the people we are today. For those of us who’ve spent much more than the allotted six hours walking these halls, it has truly become Hotel Cariboo. When you spend that much time in one place, there is no way you can ignore the fact that it has shaped the person you are today.

We are given an impossible challenge: navigating the real world, something even Planning 10 couldn’t prepare you for. There’s no way to sugar coat it, we all have a dif icult journey ahead. Sometimes, life is going to feel like a game of connorball – projectiles lying at your head from all around, your doctor refusing to get up and save you? That’s basically you juggling all life’s challenges while your boss yells at you from some big comfy chair, never doing any actual work.

In all seriousness, I have faith in each one of you, and I know you will all do incredible things. You may not know what those things are yet and you may not know what you want to do with the long years ahead. Stephen Colbert once said: “Life is an improvisation. You have no idea what’s going to happen next and you are mostly just making things up as you go along.” So don’t worry about big plans or dreams: get out there, use everything you’ve learned along this incredible journey, and bring a piece of Cariboo out into the world.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2017 AND THEIR VALEDICTORIANS!

BYRNE CREEK COMMUNITY SCHOOL VA L E D I C T O R I A N : G I O R D A N D U L AY

Look around you today and cherish this moment.

Let’s think about the bonds and lasting friendships that have been formed over the years and all the different types of friends that we have met at Byrne Creek that shared our journey.

Together as we embark on a new chapter we must not forget the memories we have created together, all the moments of success but also the various challenges that we faced in high school. There is no such thing as fail in life. FAIL is “First Attempt in Learning.”

It is just life trying to move us in another direction. These “failures” teach us to learn from our mistakes and grow, after moving on; ind a purpose. Not from Justin Beiber’s album PURPOSE, but the purpose that gives a reason and shows intention, the purpose in contributing to something bigger. Purpose creates happiness.

Still, most of you don’t know what you want to do right after high school or what your purpose is, but you do. You have already found a purpose from the things you love. The things you enjoy doing is what sets you apart from others. You own your life and your decisions are your own. As cliché as it sounds, do what you love.

Dreams do come true.

Finishing the race in irst, second or third place is not the most important thing, in the big picture; it pales in comparison to what it reveals about the human spirit. Running isn’t just for the sport; school is not just for the marks. It’s about building our own character and becoming greater individuals. It’s not how we place, but how we run, that we run, and who we are along the way. Whether experiencing our irst “A,” or our irst “F,” our irst crush or our irst heartache, getting our driver’s license or our irst job, how we navigate our way through these de ines us. Soon we will all be running different races; sprints, biathlons, triathlons, relays, 5Ks, and 10Ks. Amazing races… college, university, work, travel, and community service. The fact is, we will always be racing, chasing after different opportunities that lead to academic, athletic, or artistic pursuits.

School wasn’t easy, but that which is hard fought is most worthwhile. At the end of the marathon, we’re done, drained of energy, dehydrated. We’ve handed in all our assignments, completed our inal exams, and are hungry for the next challenge, whatever that is for you. I wish you luck with your next race, graduates of 2017.

Thank you and bon nuit.

How can I improve my mortgage health?

1. Determine your financial goals.

Use your upcoming mortgage renewal as an opportunity to lower your housing costs. Decide how you can use your mortgage renewal to improve your financial well-being.

Check multiple sources and choose between fixed or variable products.

4. Select the mortgage term that matches your goals.

Determine what length of mortgage term meets your risk and financial criteria.

5. Select the mortgage product that best suits your situation.

The lowest available interest rate isn’t necessarily connected to the mortgage product that best suits your needs. Term, amortization period, prepayment options and prepayment penalties are all elements of your decision making process.

DIGNITY MEMORIAL

ASK A LAWYER

PREARRANGEMENT Protecting the ones you love.

There are so many conversations in our daily life. Some are easy, some are hard. Perhaps the hardest and most uncomfortable conversation for many people is regarding our death.

When a death occurs and no plans have been made, family members have to answer difficult questions that they may not have considered or discussed with their loved one. All of those complex situations of the future suddenly become reality. There are two questions that will never be answered: “What would they have wanted?” and “Did I do the right thing?”

There is a solution and an easier conversation!

Talking to a professional advisor to pre-plan now can lead to a lifetime of peace of mind, simply remember that it is all about protecting the ones you love. Pre-arrangement then becomes an easier topic.

For many of us, protecting the ones we love has been an important part of our lives. We protect them by caring for their well-being and planning for their future. If we buy life insurance, home insurance and car insurance to prepare for things that might happen, doesn’t it make even better sense to plan for something that will happen? Planning before a time of need is in fact more about protecting the ones we love, than about death.

During the prearrangement, family members can share their preferences and wishes on funeral and cemetery options and decide together, rather than leaving their loved ones to make these decisions at the beginning of their bereavement and grief.

Prearrangement allows costs to be frozen at today’s prices and also provides various payment options to meet the family’s budget, rather than a full payment at the time of loss.

When a death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief can be tremendous and the healing time very long. Prearrangement will have a positive impact on family and friends simply because you have already made your own decisions. This peace of mind provides benefits far beyond the dollars spent.

The most memorable memorials are the ones we plan ourselves. Leave your Legacy.

ASK A PRE-ARRANGED ADVISOR

Q A

What is a Pre-planning Advisor?

Pre-planning Advisors are trained funeral and cemetery professionals who reach out to communities; provide valued information through seminars, and group or individual presentations; assist families to review or make their ALICE TSUNG estate plan; create a blue print of their Manager, Community & final arrangements by recording and Prearrangement Services pre-paying; and encourage people to communicate their final wishes with family members.

Through this process, families can make decisions together, guarantee the cost, choose the best payment option to fit their need, provide peace of mind and protect their loved ones from facing extra emotional stress at the time of need.

Being a Pre-planning Advisor is a meaningful and rewarding career with comfortable benefits and compensation.

Why would you need a Power of Attorney?

We live in a world where people are living to older ages than ever before.

Unfortunately, the older we STEPHEN M. MILLER, get the greater the chance that we LAWYER will suffer from a disease, injury or illness that renders us incompetent. If you take no action to plan for this, your loved ones may be forced to go to court to become your guardian (at great expense) or the Provincial Government may take control of your financial affairs. A Power of Attorney (a “POA”) is a simple legal document where you may appoint an attorney (being a person or persons of your choice) to manage your legal and financial affairs.

ASK A PHARMACIST

Q A

How do I take care of my skin during summer?

June 20th is the first day of summer. While there’s much to enjoy outdoors, remember the sun gives out UV radiation that can damage your skin. Wear Elaine & Miguel sunscreen daily, even when it’s Your Pharmasave cloudy. The Canadian Dermatology Pharmacists Association recommends using a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen.

Seek out shady spots, use sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants or long skirts.

Some lifestyle habits put you on your skin’s bad side too.

Smoking can make your skin sag and cause wrinkles.

Nicotine can stifle blood flow and deny the skin of oxygen and nutrients. Alcohol dehydrates and can give skin a sallow, dull appearance. If you consume caffeine equivalent to 4-7 cups of coffee, this can cause dehydration, leaving your skin thirsty and more prone to drying and dullness.

City now Making a meal out of math class Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@burnabynow.com

In an age of alternative facts and fake news, Burnaby South math students are taking nothing for granted.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, an American restaurant chain with a restaurant in Metrotown, serves only a few items, but the company’s promotional material claims combining them in different ways actually gives customers 65,000 choices.

Teacher Amos Lee presented the restaurant’s claim to his Pre-Calculus 12 class Friday to verify as part of their learning on combinations and permutations.

First, though, he took them to eat at the restaurant during their math block Thursday.

The first time he did this three years ago, Lee expected to foot the bill himself (“As a school, we don’t have money to do these types of things,” he said), but the restaurant stepped up and offered the meals free of charge.

Usually, he brings 30 stu-

dents; this year, he brought 60 – but the restaurant didn’t flinch.

“I’ve got teachers in my family,” area manager Jay Timms told the NOW. “My mom was a teacher; my aunt was a teacher; one of my good friends is a teacher, and I know how hard they work. And at Chipotle, we want to support our community and any opportunity that we have to help kids that’s fantastic.”

Does he know for sure whether the items at his restaurant can make up 65,000 different combinations?

“I’ve heard that before,” he said. “I’ve never gone through and actually figured it out, but there’s definitely a lot of combinations you can make from our food.”

For Amos, teaching kids real-life critical thinking skills to test such claims fits in with the requirements of the new B.C. curriculum, but, more importantly, it also equips kids for the misinformation age.

“In the age of (Donald) Trump and fake news and how people say we are not

teaching critical thinking in school, I thought this would be a good way for me to address those issues in my math class,” he said.

Well? Can you get 65,000 combinations out of the items offered at Chipotle?

That depends on how you interpret what constitutes a choice, according to Lee. His students calculated there could actually be as many as 786,432.

TOWELS NEEDED Got some extra towels?

The Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. needs them for its animal care centre.

“We use them for all sorts of reasons – cleaning, bed padding, animal handling – and we’re running a bit low for this time of year,” reads a post on the group’s Facebook page. “We’re in need of large and small towels, hand towels, face cloths and rags.”

Special to the NOW

A cherished friend is missing from the garden.

Francesco Aiello died on March 20. He was a founding member of the Burnaby and Regional Allotment Garden Association (BARAGA), a large community garden with 372 plots located in South Burnaby.

Born in Amato, Italy in 1925, Frank immigrated to Canada to make a new life.

During the last three decades of his life, chances are you would find him working on one of his family’s plots in the northwest corner of BARAGA. “Frank was friendly and welcoming when Larry and I moved to the plot next to his in 1994,” recounted Joan Campana. “He would often come over to where I was weeding and we’d visit for a few moments – or longer, if I could get him to tell a story. He was always ready to answer gardening questions.”

Frank embodied the true spirit of community.

“Our new plot was overrun with weeds and under water for several months in the spring,” Larry Johnston remembered. “Frank helped me install a big ‘O’ drainage pipe in the pathways from my plot and between the two that he was gardening. We dug up the pathways, down several feet, laid the pipe and covered it with plastic and refilled the trench. Once the drain pipe was connected to the drainage ditch, I was able to garden. Frank’s plots were raised high enough that he did not really need the drainage, but he pitched in to help.”

Frank was 92. But you would never know it. Campana remembers him “walking along the top beam of the A-frame roof of his greenhouse.” She rushed over to express concern.

“He just gave his usual broad smile, shook his finger at me, and said he was fixing something. He would have been in his late 70s.”

“Frank did not drive,” Johnston recalled. “He came to the garden by bus. One

day he came into the garden carrying a large beam on his shoulders. It had been left by the road and he carried it all the way to the plot himself. When I asked him how he managed it, he said it was what he had done at work every day.”

Heidi Rose said she will miss Frank’s “quiet generosity.”

“I miss the fountain of knowledge, his gardening advice so softly given to this novice gardener. I will remember always his warm welcome on my first day at

the garden more than a decade ago. Frank said that people who work hard on the land were bound to be good people, and we should always help each other. I’d like to help spread that optimism and kindness.”

Our northwest corner of BARAGA is certainly not the same without Frank, his wife Maria and son Luigi, who all died in the last 18 months.

Monica Jones is a gardener at BARAGA. An extended version of this story is online at www.burnabynow.com.

Haley ready to move on Burnaby guard reflects on NCAA run, decision to leave NMS Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The rollercoaster ride that was 2016/17 for New Mexico State sophomore Jermaine Haley will be something he’ll remember for a long time.

The Burnaby native, who requested his release from the NCAA basketball program last month after the Aggies lost their coach to the cross-state rival University of New Mexico, can look back at a conference title and a short but electric taste of NCAA March Madness and feel a sense of achievement.

Now comes the hard part.

The six-foot-seven guard is mulling his options, and expects to choose his next step in what he hopes is a path to the NBA. “I haven’t decided yet,” the 20-year-old Haley told the NOW. “My coach (fellow Canadian Paul Weir) left and he was the one who brought me there.

“I can’t lie, it’s been tough.

Once I find the right place for me, I will feel a great relief and get comfortable to play again.”

After having red shirted his first season at the Las Cruces campus, Haley made the jump to the Aggies roster this past year, posting a 3.9 points per game average. Although often coming in off the bench, Haley still racked up 46 assists over 34 games. He started half the team’s 30 games and averaged almost 22 minutes per contest.

That run saw the team capture the Western Athletic Conference title for the fifth time in the past six years, before bowing out in the opening round of the NCAA championships in a loss to No. 3 seed Baylor.

New Mexico actually led 40-38 at halftime, but Baylor ramped it up in the second half en route to a 91-73 decision.

They finished with an impressive 28-6 record in Weir’s first season as a head coach, after serving 10 years as an assistant.

Going from a practice player as a first-year student to a crucial role player last season was an intense learning experience, Haley said.

“It was incredible. I went to play at a conference championships and March Madness.

Those are two experiences we Continued on page 24

Lakers leave coach wanting more

Burnaby trumps NewWest convincingly before falling to visiting Maple Ridge crew Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The vagaries of the Western Lacrosse Association have opened the eyes of Jim Milligan.

The Ontario transplant, who took over the coaching and general managing duties with the Burnaby Lakers a few months ago, was well aware of the competitive nature of the B.C. game and its athletes, having coached against them over 11 years while with Peterborough.

But there’s a different degree of understanding when you get kneedeep into the circuit and its precious parity.

“The skill level is very good. I knew about that,” said Milligan, who skippered his team to an impressive 14-9 victory over New West last Thursday, only to fall 1210 to defending champion Maple Ridge a day later.

“My adjustment has been slow, and I’ve got to show more patience. I think it’s going to be a slow process.”

The two different results seemed to mirror earlier results. A nearfull lineup in New West, with only a handful of players absent, created winning conditions that were revealed over the final 25 minutes.

While Burnaby only trailed once – with the ’Bellies scoring the game’s first goal – the two teams spent much of the second period

trading tallies until Dane Stevens and Tyler Digby counted markers late in the frame to give the Lakers a 9-7 advantage.

Scott Jones made it a three-goal lead early in the third, and while New West temporarily narrowed the gap, the Lakers salted away the win with a barrage of late tallies, including three into an empty net.

Stevens finished with three goals and four helpers, while Cam Milligan also registered a hat trick.

Shaun Dhaliwal tallied a pair, with Jones connecting for a goal and four assists.

Jason Jones chipped in a goal and three helpers, while other markers came off the sticks of Spencer Bromley, Jackson Decker and Eli McLaughlin.

Eric Penney, meanwhile, turned back 37 shots from his former team.

A day later, without Scott Jones or Stevens in the lineup – or Rob-

ert Church, Peter McFetridge and Justin Salt, either – the Lakers found themselves playing pursuer as Maple Ridge never trailed.

After a middle period where the two teams swapped goals and the Burrards exited up 8-7, Digby evened up the score just 47 seconds into the final frame. But a pair of strikes by the visitors, including Owen Barker’s shorthanded goal with 13:33 left in the third, put Burnaby on its heels.

They kept it close, but Maple Ridge exacted its revenge for a loss in the opening week.

“We didn’t have as complete a lineup as we had in the first game of the back-to-back,” said coach Milligan. “We had a few holes and Maple Ridge did a good job exploiting them.”

Digby notched three goals and McLaughlin picked up a pair, with singles by Matt Beers, Jason Jones, Matt Spanger, Spencer Stevens

and Dhaliwal.

While nearly every team was still missing at least one key player heading into this week, Burnaby’s best possible lineup could be on the floor now with the end of the National Lacrosse League season.

“If we work together, we have the players that can compete with anyone,” said Milligan.

The only fly in the ointment?

That darn parity, which was underscored Saturday when Coquitlam handed Victoria its first loss.

At 3-2, Burnaby is tied for second place with Maple Ridge, two points better than three other teams.

They visit Langley tonight, then Coquitlam on Saturday.

“Both teams scare me,” said the coach. “They are teams that work hard, they’re young and athletic. ... On any given night anyone can win.”

McEwen cashes in try for Canada Burnaby Lake Rugby’s Carolyn McEwen scored and Canada gave it a strong push but couldn’t protect the lead in the second half en route to a 27-20 loss to England in the second game of the International Women’s Rugby Series in New Zealand on Monday.

After falling behind 12-3, Canada closed the gap with a march that included McEwen’s try prior to halftime.

Down by five entering the second half, Karen Pagu-

in propelled Canada into the lead when she intercepted a pass and ran the length of the field for a try. Magali Harvey added a convert to make it 17-15.

But England replied promptly, then matched another Harvey penalty kick with a late try.

“We definitely stepped it up but it’s still not enough,” captain Kelly Russell said. “We need to play the full 80 minutes and we need to fight for 80 minutes.”

Guard makes progress in NCAA Continued from page 23 achieved as a team and things I’ll never forget.

“We came together from all over the place, different places but everyone got along great.”

Among the highlights included a season-high 16 points in February against Northern New Mexico, and a 15-point performance Jan. 12 against Grand Canyon University.

But Weir’s decision to leave after one season and join the Aggies’ hated rival in Albuquerque has sent a ripple effect through the program, resulting in the hiring of a new NMS coaching staff and the loss of a handful of Weir’s recruits.

New Mexico State can block any inter-conference transfer requests, making it unlikely that any player will follow him north from Las Cruces.

The focus now for the Burnaby South alumnus is to find a place where he can quickly prove his worth, at another university or in Europe.

“I had a lot more responsibility, I gained a lot of confidence and learned a lot thanks to my coaches and teammates. ... I improved myself and worked hard.”

For now, he’s trying to stay focused on the end goal, which is to continue building his game to a level where a pro opportunity is on the horizon.
