DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
It looks like any other basketballhoop you might see in your neighbour-hood.
The kind of hoop that someone likeLebron James or former CanadianNBA star Steve Nash might have usedto hone their skills growing up.
Standing at the end of PandoraStreet in Capitol Hill, in an alley over-looking the city all the way to down-townVancouver, you would almostmiss the old metal basketball hoop un-less you were looking for it.
But the City of Burnaby hasn’tmissed it, and much to the chagrin ofat least one local parent, officials wantto take it down permanently.
JanaThorn lives on Pandora andjust a stone’s throw from the old hoop.Her kids use the hoop on a regularbasis, along with other people in theneighbourhood.
As she describes it, the basketballhoop is where her community gathers.
Thorn doesn’t know who put itthere or how long it’s been there, butshe was surprised when she camehome last Friday to find a note stuckto the hoop. It said the net was in vio-lation of the city’s street and traffic by-laws.The note also said it would beremoved and disposed of by city crews.
Thorn said she talked to a city em-ployee who told her the hoop wasdeemed a danger because a car coulddrive into it at night, since the alleyisn’t well lit.
But the Burnaby mom isn’t buyingthe reason.
“It’s not a burden to anyone thatcomes down the alley,” she told NOW,suggesting this situation is more aboutthe city trying to flex its muscles.“There really is no good reason for it

A Burnaby independent school is ramp-ing up supervision while police investi-gate an attempted child luring outside theschool.
St. Helen’s Elementary School senta notice to parents Friday afternoon af-ter an eight-year-old student at the schoolwas allegedly approached by an older manwho offered her candy and tried to grabher hand.
The girl re-fused and ranback to her par-ents, who werearound a cor-ner at the schoolplayground, notmore than 50metres away, ac-cording to St.Helen’s princi-palWaldemarSambor.
He said thegirl didn’t tellher parents about the encounter, whichhappened at about 3:25 p.m., until thedrive home.
“In cases like that, sometimes kids feelthat maybe it’s their fault for whatever rea-son, because they ran away from the par-ents,” Sambor said.
The girl’s parents notified the schooland called 911.
Other parents at the school have sincevolunteered to provide extra supervisionaround the school, according to Sambor.
“It’s a pretty stressful time for them,” hesaid. “We gave them a short little courseand we put them on the playground.”
To allay the fears of students who haveheard news reports about the incident,Sambor said Burnaby RCMP will visit theschool this week to provide kids with safe-ty tips.
Police have said they are making goodprogress on the case, according to Sam-bor, but haven’t provided details.

A longtime Burnaby in-dustrial operation is shut-ting its doors.
Lafarge Canada has con-firmed to the NOW, as ofthis week, it is closing theKask Bros. concrete opera-tions in Burnaby, locatedon Barnet Highway.
A statement from LafargeCanada’s director of com-munications, Jennifer Lew-is, said operations from thefacility will be moved to thecompany’s Port Mann andHarbour plants.
“All employees will betransferred to other loca-tions,” the statement said.“There are no job loss-es as business is brisk andthe Kask employees havea strong family and safe-ty culture that is importantto our customers and thecommunity.”
She noted the movecomes as Lafarge studies
how it can best serve cus-tomers given the “evolvingroad network in the area.”
Asked for a further ex-planation, Lafarge said: “Interms of the road network,we look at how our trucksmove around the entireLower Mainland to deliverto customers, so things likethe Port Mann Highway 1improvement, the FraserPerimeter Road project andsoon to commence, MasseyTunnel replacement all im-pact our logistics.”
While the facility is notcurrently for sale, Lafargesaid it is studying optionsfor the site’s future and in-volving local stakeholders inthe process.
Coun. Sav Dhaliwal saidhe wasn’t aware of the clo-sure, or any interest orplans the city had with theproperty.
“That seems to be theway things are going wherebusinesses are being con-solidated by larger compa-
nies,” he said, pointing outthe business had been op-erating in Burnaby for de-cades. “I’m sorry to hear,when it involves a busi-ness relocation or shuttingdown, it’s tough on employ-
ees.”The closing brings an
end to an era that was de-cades long.
The plant began as arugged camp in the ear-ly pioneer days in Burna-
by, sitting on what was thenknown as Barnet Road,along the shores of the Bur-rard Inlet.
William Kask Sr. boughtthe land in 1925, and work-ers from the nearby Barnet
Mill rented cabins on theland, which became knownas Kask’s Camp.
The company began sup-plying concrete in in 1936,according to the company’swebsite.

It’s one business that’snot going to get the wel-come mat in Burnaby, atleast not by local politicians.
Earlier this month, theprovince’s health ministerTerry Lake said he wouldconsider a pay-for-plasmaclinic to operate in B.C.
On Monday, severalcouncillors offered their op-position to the idea, andany plan for a clinic to setup shop in the municipality.
Coun. NickVolkow saidhe would like to see the citycome up with a bylaw orzoning that would ban themfrom the city.
He suggested allowingpeople to get paid for do-nating blood would be aslippery slope and couldlead to organ donation formoney, as an example.
“I equate them to allkinds of other businesses I’drather not see in our city,
like payday loan companies,massage parlours and allthat kind of thing,” he toldthe NOW. “It just doesn’tring right with me.”
Coun. Paul McDonellnoted the tainted bloodscandal from years ago andargued people donating formoney may not be truthfulabout the conditions theyhave.
“If they need the moneythey’ll do it,” he said.
But ultimately, there maybe little the city can do tostop a clinic from openingin Burnaby.
Mayor Derek Corriganwas quick to remind coun-cil the city can’t prohibit alegal industry.
Instead, he said there’sample room for citizensfor to discuss whether theyagree with the idea or not.
While Corrigan saidthe system is under great-er pressure, he encouragedpeople to go out and donateblood.
“Anybody who is young
and not donating blood,they are not doing every-thing they can to be a goodcitizen,” he said, adding hewas proud to be a blood do-nor when he was younger.
In an op-ed, Lake saidBritish Columbia alreadygets about 80 per cent ofits supply from the Unit-ed States, where donors arepaid for blood products.“In fact, the majority of theworld’s supply of plasmaproduct comes from paiddonors,” the op-ed reads.“Without this system, therewould be severe shortag-es of products for patientswho need them.”
Canadian Plasma Re-sources recently opened afacility in Saskatoon and isconsidering expanding outWest.
But NDP health crit-ic Judy Darcy is calling it a“bad idea,” arguing it goesagainst the Krever Inquiry,which examined the taintedblood scandal of the 1980s.
An abandoned drivingrange in North Burnaby isnot much more than a pileof rubble following a firethat investigators are treat-ing as suspicious.
Fire crews were called outto the former Hastings GolfCentre driving range at thecorner of Hastings Streetand Kensington Avenue,around 4 a.m. Monday for areport of a fire.
By the time the fire de-partment arrived, smokeand flames were alreadyburning a couple of thestructures on the property.
Burnaby fire Capt. DeanThomas said a secondalarm was called, and crewswent into a defensive modeto keep the fire from spread-ing to the Shell oil refinerydown the street.
However, he noted, therefinery and nearby struc-tures were not in any dan-ger.
“We wouldn’t really havecared about the structureburning because it was alost cause, they just wantedto keep it from extending toanything else,”Thomas said.
By Monday afternoon,crews were still on sitecleaning up.
The blaze is consideredsuspicious since the buildingwas vacant, with both the
fire department and Burna-by RCMP investigating.
“It’s going to be a verydifficult building to investi-gate because it’s very dan-gerous, it could collapse atany time,”Thomas said.
While no one was injuredand no one was found in-side at the time of the fire,there is evidence that

squatters had been usingsome of the vacant buildingson the property at somepoint.
A second, smaller build-ing, the size of a house, alsosits on the property and wascovered in graffiti and gar-bage, but it didn’t appear tobe damaged from the fire.
WhileThomas said hewasn’t sure if anyone wasin any of the buildings priorto the fire, he said the driv-ing range had been the siteof a previous fire caused bysquatters.
Just down the street atSaveco Sports, ownerVinceFazio said there are a fewhomeless people who fre-
quent the area.He said the driving range
property has been empty forat least five years and hasbeen a point of speculationfor some sort of redevelop-ment, like a hotel.
“People don’t even knowanything is there,” he toldthe NOW.
He said he’d like to seesomething done with prop-erty.
According to the city, theowners of the driving range,who are listed as a num-bered company out ofVan-couver, cancelled the busi-ness licence in the fall of2011, while a restaurant onthe property was operatedfor a short time after.
Since 2012, the city re-ceived three complaintsabout the property for be-ing unsightly, with the lastcoming from 2014. No fineswere ever issued.
Clayton Hall, Burnaby’smanager of licensing andregulatory bylaws, said he’snot sure what will happento the property now, buthe expects the city to workwith the owner to make surewhile vacant, it remains se-cure and clean.
“Eventually, if the prop-erty remains unsightly, onceagain we’ll reach out to theproperty owner and try andfigure out the intentions areof the property,” he said.

ThismealplanishighlyoverratedLast week The Globe and
Mail did several stories onPremier Christy Clark andher private fundraising din-ners.
These are the eventswhere folks pay $10,000 ormore to break bread and getup close and personal withour premier.
Now, perhaps, we’ve be-come inured to the ways ofgovernment, but we almostshrugged and said, “So tellus something that wouldsurprise us.”
The Liberals representbusiness, and business un-derstands that you have topay for everything. Payingfor a chance to whisper inthe Premier’s ear seems tobe par for the course.
Businesses hire lobbyistsand those lobbyists (usual-ly former politicians) alsounderstand that lobbyingmeans making your caseagain and again. Business-es and organizations donateto political parties to remindthose parties that they not
only have a stake in the gov-ernment’s policies, but thatthe government has a stakein the businesses’ and orga-nizations that pay taxes.
And, to be clear, theNDP does not have cleanhands in this type of fund-raising either.
NDP leader John Horgansays he attends his own fun-draisers – a recent one beinga $2,000-a-plate event with30 individuals.
Under the current disclo-sure legislation neither party
has to say what individualswere at which fundraisingdinners.Those donationsare lumped in with the oth-er disclosures.
Critics have said this al-lows people to secretly gainexclusive access to the Pre-mier.Well, yes, it does. But,honestly, do we really thinkthe Premier is not aware ofwho are the very large do-nors to her and her par-ty? Do we think the folkswho turn up for the dinnersaren’t already on her “best
friends” list? And do we, asthe media, think those bigdonors have more influenceover a cocktail than theydo writing a big fat chequeand making a phone call af-terwards? Most of the timethese fundraisers are a wayof making the donors feellike they’re important folksposing with the premier fora photo they can put ontheir office desk.
It’s true, we always wantto know more details. Andwe’re always for more trans-
parency everywhere. And,yes, we think the new billthat would disclose dinnerdonor names would be in-teresting and much-appreci-ated grist for more stories.
But who are we fool-ing to suggest that disclos-ing who’s willing to pay bigbucks to nosh with Clarkor Horgan will reveal muchmore than we already know.

The parrot came back
TheNDPmaysabotage itself
The B.C. NDP alwaysfaces a tough, uphill strug-gle to get elected, and somemoves by the federal wing ofthe NDP may make that hilleven steeper.
DumpingThomas Mul-cair as federal leader ne-cessitates a leadership race.The good news for the B.C.NDP is that the vote won’thappen for two years, butthe bad news is that a lead-ership race sucks resourc-es, money and energy outof other party activities. Bynext spring, when the nextprovincial election will oc-cur, the federal race shouldjust be getting into gear. Anyrival for fundraising – suchas a leadership race – is notwhat the B.C. NDP needs.Still, the actual vote beingsuch a long ways off shouldhelp mitigate much of thedamage.
What may have great-er implications for the B.C.NDP, however, was thefederal NDP’s decision tocome closer – through aninternal party “debate” – toembracing the controver-sial and radical “Leap Man-ifesto,” a far-left movementaimed at combating climatechange, blocking trade dealsand raising taxes.
I can only imagine theB.C. Liberals salivating overthe prospect of tying thefederal NDP’s courtship ofthe Leap Manifesto to theB.C. NDP’s tail and step-ping back to gleefully watchthe provincial party’s furi-ous attempts to separate it-self from all that comes withthe positions called for bythe Leap folks.Then again,
it’s entirely possible the B.C.NDP will be just as inter-ested in bringing the LeapManifesto into the party tostir up a debate.The Leapfolks, for example, want toimmediately halt the build-ing of all oil pipelines andto quickly – very quick-ly – transition the economyaway from fossil fuels.Thestance seems fairly close tothe one held by B.C. NDP,which opposes both the En-bridge pipeline and the pro-posed twinning of the Kind-er Morgan pipeline.
Still, as someone who hasknown and covered NDPleader John Horgan for al-most 20 years, I can’t imag-ine him leading a politicalparty that wants anything todo with the Leap Manifesto.Historically, Horgan is fromthe pro-resource develop-ment side of the NDP.
But all this plays to theB.C. Liberals’ strategy ofportraying the B.C. NDP asthe “party of No,” one thatopposes all kinds of indus-trial development and there-fore – or so the B.C. Liber-als argue – against jobs.
Also now in the B.C. Lib-eral arsenal are the angrycomments from anotherNDP leader: Alberta Pre-mier Rachel Notley, who isfurious about the NDP’s defacto support for hurtingher province’s economy.
The NDP has alwaysbeen good at creating inter-nal divisions.We shall soonsee whether they help sab-otage the party’s electionchances here.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-
cal reporter for Global B.C.

Working peopledeserve a living wageDear EditorRe: Our View – Let’s stop this raceto the bottom, Our ViewBurnabyNOW, April6.
Woohoo! Hooray! And thank you! It is goodto see an opinion from a company recognizinghow disgraceful the minimum wage in B.C.makes us look to the rest of Canada.
It is shameful that the B.C. Liberal govern-ment believes the 10-cent-per-hour proposedincrease for September of this year is accept-able – or maybe not, because they are lookingat a whopping 30-cent-per-hour increase.
Neither increase is acceptable. Workingpeople in this province need a “living wage.”
Working people in this province deserve a“living wage.” It is time the B.C. Liberal govern-ment, who talks about our economy as thebest in the country, puts their money wheretheir mouth is and increases the minimumwage to $15 per hour. This increase will furtherstimulate the economy, as mentioned in youropinion, and make this province truly a placewhere working people cannot just survive butmaybe thrive?
What a thought! I can dream!AndreaMacBride,Burnaby
Who is Burnaby citycouncil working for?Dear EditorBurnaby’s city council, just whoare they working for? I moved to Burnaby in2008, and since moving here I voted for DerekCorrigan and his team in the last two munici-pal elections, but I no longer have confidencein either him or his council running mates.
Sure, they have accumulated large sur-pluses, but I get the feeling that like ChristyClark, our council is working for the wealthydevelopers, not the people of Burnaby.
Although development is great, I see fartoo many people being forced out of perfectlygood lowrise rental buildings, so the buildingcan be demolished to make way for highrisetowers. Where are these renters supposed tolive with vacancy rate of next to zero?
Council keeps saying there us nothing theycan do, but how about they simply say NO tothese developers, for a change? I’m thinkingin the next election, it’s time to make changes,and vote in a council that will represent thepeople, all of the people, not just developers.WayneMcQueen,Burnaby
Pipeline protesterstarget Site C dam –and readers respond
MikeB I really wonder if these folksrealize how unrealistic they look. Onthe one hand they despise the filthyoil industry and feel people need tomove on to less polluting options likeelectric vehicles but on the other handthey don’t want to see any expansionof hydro electric power which is one ofthe cleanest forms of energy produc-tion there is.Where do they expect all the extrapower capacity is going to come fromwhen everyone switches over fromgasoline based cars to electric cars andhas to plug their vehicle in every nightfor recharging?Maybe they would be more favourableto a farm of thousands of hamstertreadmills producing electricity.Although at that point they wouldprobably start demonstrating again,this time against the exploitation ofhamsters.

Let’s look after ourown residents firstDearEditorRe: free recreation passes forrefugees.
“There is no cost to taxpayers.” This is notthe principle of the free passes. We have plentyof retired people in Burnaby who would bevery glad to go to the pool or other amenitiesfor a change as they are sitting at home allwinter.
Let’s take care of our own first. Doesn’t char-ity begin at home? Would you not look afteryour own family first, so the City of Burnabyshould like after its own citizens first.
When I go to the pool, I have to pay, unless Iam a councillor.Mr.A.BrianVandergugten,Burnaby

Summer water restric-tions will come into effecta little earlier and last a lit-tle longer this year than inthe past.
As part of MetroVan-couver’s water shortage re-sponse plan, the City of
Burnaby has approvedamendments that will seethe first phase (includingrestrictions on lawn sprin-kling) begin on May 15 andend on Oct. 15. In previousyears, the restrictions haverun from June 1 to Sept. 30.
The idea is that stretch-ing the restriction time peri-od will assist in reducing the
overall water demand.A Burnaby staff report
noted in 2015, MetroVan-couver started experiencingunseasonably high water de-mand starting in mid-May,with the total consumptionfor May/June approximately20 per cent higher than thesame period in 2014.
“This just reminds us
how important it is to con-serve water early,” saidCoun. Anne Kang at coun-cil.
The dry and hot weatherlast year forced MetroVan-couver to enact Stage 3 wa-ter restrictions by July. Stage3 water restrictions ban allhome lawn sprinkling, re-filling of hot tubs, pools and
garden ponds, among othertighter restrictions on out-door water use.
Some of the new oth-er new changes to the re-sponse plan include allow-ing water to be used bycommercial cleaning servic-es for esthetic cleaning dur-ing Stage 2, and allowing lo-cal government exemption
permits issued in Stage 2 forwatering new lawns or fortreatment to control the Eu-ropean chafer beetle to re-main valid during Stage 3.
The flat fine of $50 forwatering outside of desig-nated times has been re-placed with fines based oneach of the four stages ofwater restrictions.

It was a case “destined”to make its way to Canada’stop court. Now, that maynot be the case at all.
The City of Burnabymay not end up appealinga B.C. Supreme Court rul-ing around city bylaws thatfound in favour of Kind-er Morgan and itsTransMountain Pipeline project.
While Mayor Derek Cor-rigan said the city has pre-pared the necessary doc-uments to maintain theappeal, he said the mu-nicipality will be watchingclosely a couple of cases ex-pected to head to the Su-preme Court of Canada lat-er this year.
Burnaby’s case chal-lenged whether federal ju-risdiction for major projects,like pipelines, can overrulecity laws.
The mayor said if there’san indication the SupremeCourt will interfere in fed-eral powers when it comesto local governments, hesaid the city may advance
its case to the B.C. Court ofAppeal.
But if not, Corrigan said:“Then we’re in a situa-tion where we’re not goingto throw good money af-ter bad. If I think there’s achance we can be success-ful and advance the cause,I’ll go there. If not, I’ll moveto the political means we’vegot.”
He said he still hopesPrime Minister JustinTrudeau won’t approve theproject, even if the NationalEnergy Board does, suggest-ing he would face an “insur-rection” within the Liber-al Party and lose support incities like Burnaby.
In the decision released inlate November, a judge de-termined the National En-ergy Board was right bypreviously overruling Burn-
aby’s bylaw, which forbadethe company from cuttingtrees while doing surveywork in the Burnaby Moun-tain conservation area.
At the time, Corrigansaid the fight against Kind-er Morgan and theTransMountain Pipeline was des-tined to go all the way toCanada’s top court.
His tone was differentwhen discussing the casewith the NOW recently.Spe-cifically, he said Burnaby iswatching a City ofWindsorcase he described as beingabout a federally incorpo-rated transportation carri-er that refused to cooper-ate with the Ontario city’sbylaws.That case is expect-ed to be before the SupremeCourt before the end of theyear.
“I don’t know if we’ll pro-ceed to complete our hear-ing in the Court of Appealif we don’t think it’s goingto be successful or we havea reasonable chance of suc-cess,” he said on Monday.

Court case uses gaming fundsIf Burnaby taxpayers
were thinking the citywasgamblingby takingKinderMorgan to court over theTransMountainPipelineproject, theywouldn’t bethat far off.The city is using its operat-

the energy company.The city recently approved
fundingof just over $4mil-lion for a host of projects for2016, including a $250,000line-item for theTransMoun-tainPipeline.MayorDerekCorrigan said
early on, city council indi-cated the grantmoneywouldbedesignated for environ-
mental issues, generally forspecial projects.“This is verymuch thedefi-
nitionof a special project,” hetold theNOW.He said rather thanusing
taxpayer dollars for litiga-tion, the city felt casino fundsgoodwouldbegoodway topay for thework.

The traditional art ofCantonese opera is comingto the stage in Burnaby.
Vancouver Canton-ese Opera is staging Prin-cess Cheung Ping (The Flow-er Princess) at the MichaelJ. FoxTheatre on Saturday,April 16.
The production, which
will be shown with Englishand Chinese subtitles, is amasterwork of the late ac-claimed composerTong DikSang, which premiered in1957.
The show has remained afavourite among Cantoneseopera audiences with a storyset in the late Ming Dynas-ty, revolving around the love
story of Princess CheungPing and Jau Saihin fromtheir first meeting to theirwedding night suicide.
“Tong Dik Sang, like hiscounterparts in the west,was well able to juxtaposethe romantic love of the op-era against the lofty Confu-cian ideals of zhong (faith-fulness to one’s emperor)and xiao (filial piety to one’sparents), during a criticalhistorical period at the endof the Ming dynasty andthe advent of the ‘barbar-ian’ Manchu dynasty of theQing,” a press release ex-plains.
“This political backdropprovides the critical dramat-ic tension at the core of thestory.”
But viewers don’t need tofeel they have a backgroundin Chinese history or Can-tonese opera to enjoy theproduction: the opera com-pany’s mission is to presentthe traditional art form atits highest level to both Chi-nese and non-Chinese au-diences.
“We are dedicated in the
preservation and promo-tion of our traditional artform to the mainstream andyounger population,” thegroup’s press release notes.
“We are the only Cantonesemusic society that has anexplicit and active intentionof reaching beyond the Chi-nese community to engage
the broader community.”Tickets for the produc-
tion range from $40 to $60.Call 604-764-8181 or seewww.vancanopera.com for
more information.The Michael J. FoxThe-
atre is at 7373 MacPher-son Ave.

Ruth’s story - A Burnaby Citizen SupportServices volunteer for over 30 years
Ruth Gautschi receives a volunteer award in 2013from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan
Ruth Gautschi immigrated to Canada in 1951 from Hamburg, Germanyand settled with her host family on Vancouver Island. She was the firstfemale gold smithmaking jewellery for Birks and other jewellery storesin the lower mainland. Ruth lived in a very nice rooming house onRobson Street where she saved every nickel to be able to afford to bringher mother over from Germany. Ruth joined theVancouver Skating Clubas away tomeet other young people. Later in life shewould teach figure
skating for the Parks and Recreation department in the City of Burnaby.
Ruth made Canada her home and feels so proud that she could giveher mother a very peaceful life for over twenty years. She recalls whenher mother wanted to become a Canadian Citizen it was difficult as shehad been deaf her whole life. Therefore it was difficult for her to readand speak English as she could not hear it. Ruth would write phoneticsunder each word to help her mother pronounce it in English. Peoplewould tell her they loved her accent as it was so unique. Both Ruthand her mother were so incredibly proud when she passed her test andbecame a Canadian Citizen.
Ruth eventually married a vet and had one daughter. Ruth retired fromMicrotel in 1986 and immediately started to volunteer in a little storerun by former employees of BC Tel/Telus.
In 1982 Ruth started volunteering with Citizen Support Services withthe Speech and Hearing Program. She then switched over to the Shopby Phone Grocery Program as a grocery shopper, the Shopping BuddiesProgram as a shopping assistant, a Phone Buddy for an isolated seniorand an assistant on trips for seniors in wheelchairs.
Ruth never hesitates to say yes!

Burnaby Village Museum Auto Apprentice Program volunteer
Burnaby Village Museum volunteer thank you barbeque
Volunteers are at the heart of every great program and event at theBurnaby Village Museum. For over forty years, dedicated volunteershave helped the Village become the exciting, vibrant and educationalplace that it is today. Each year, approximately 160 volunteerscontribute over 10,000 hours.
The Museum volunteers bring a diverse and incredible set of talents,experiences and skills to the Museum and help “History Comes toLife” for museum visitors. Volunteers help to lead educational schoolprograms, assist with community events and share their specializedskills to offer one-of-a kind public programs such as Model T CarRides and Auto Shop Apprentice. There are also Museum volunteeropportunities behind the scenes.
Each year in February a Volunteer Tea is held to acknowledge theextraordinary commitment of our volunteers. We also took thisopportunity to acknowledge and thank our out-going HonoraryReeve, Maja Lezo-McFarlane, and welcome Russell Collins to theposition for 2016.
Our Honorary Reeve position was established in 2000. The incumbent,selected from among the Museum’s volunteers, serves as its
ambassador, meeting the public and speaking at special events.The Reeve, in Burnaby, is a position that transitioned into that ofthe Mayor. Mr. Alan H. Emmott served as the City’s last Reeve andfirst Mayor (1958-1968). In Burnaby, during the 1920s, the periodrepresented here at the Village, the Reeve was the most senioradministrative position.
To ourVolunteers, August is known as themonth of the Barbeque. Thissocial tradition allows our volunteers a chance to sit back, relax, andto enjoy a casual meal together. Many stories are told and friendshipsformedover copious amounts of lemonade.During this event,MuseumStaff provide very attentive table service as our special thank-you!

The Gamma Garage isback with a celebration ofart – and you’re invited.
The North Burnaby artgroup is holding its annualshow on Saturday and Sun-day, April 16 and 17.
The group was startedabout 15 years ago when acore group of three NorthBurnaby neighbours, PatSexsmith, DianneYard andSheila Chowdhury, joinedforces with their friendWil-ma Cook of Roberts Creek/Vancouver.
Chowdhury happened tohave a garage slowly fillingup with art materials, and itbecame the group’s art stu-dio space.
They put together theirfirst art show, Chowdhurysays, “to satisfy the curi-osity of friends, who won-dered how they were spend-ing their time in the garage”– no price tags, no intentionof selling, but just to inviteeveryone in on the fun.
The garage has since be-come a well-appointed artstudio, and it provides theexhibition space for theirnow annual show.Thisweekend’s will be the 13thshow, and it will include
guest artist Kira Sokolovs-kaia, who works in pastels.
This year, the group haschosen portraits as theirgroup subject.The showalso offers up about 70 oth-er paintings from large totiny, realist to abstract.
The Gamma Garage art-ists work in evolving andvaried styles, mediums and
techniques and have foundsuccess with sales over theyears.
“Buyers benefit from thefact that there is no addedgallery commission,” Chow-dhury notes in a press re-lease. “However, the chiefintentions of the group arestill to support each otherin their love of painting and
reach into the community.”The artists all took part in
the Living Room Art projectin the fall, and they’re get-ting set to welcome back fa-miliar faces, drop-in visitorsand newcomers alike to thisyear’s Gamma Garage show.
The show is at 232 NorthGamma Ave. Saturday andSunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Spring is here... how do Ideal with my allergies?
ASK A PHARMACIST

In most people, an allergen -something that triggers anallergy - sets their symptomsoff. Spring attacks are usually
due to tree pollen, while grass pollensdominate in the summer and weedpollens in the autumn. Symptomsinclude runny nose; sneezing; itchynose, mouth, throat, or eyes; andcongestion. Tearing, coughing, sore
throat, wheezing, and headache can also occur.The best way to prevent allergies is to avoid the allergen.Clean everything that collects dust (e.g., carpets, draperies,upholstery), eliminate house plants and stay indoors duringhigh pollen times.It is not always possible to eliminate or avoid allergens, andmany people need medications for relief. The most com-mon treatments for allergy symptoms are oral antihistamines,nose sprays, or eye drops. People with certain medical con-ditions should consult their pharmacist before using allergymedications.

The answer is yes. There are onlya select few lenders that willlend to non resident clients. Nonresident clients will be required
to put down 35% down payment. Downpayment must be from own resources,and can be gift from a family member.
They will need to show enough money in Canada for 12 months ofP+I payments in addition to down payment. Heavy consideration willbe placed on the client’s occupation and whether it makes sensethat the clients’ job can support the mortgage. If he is a businessowner or self employed then how does the company generatemoney? Is there a website or business license to verify his ownership?If he is salaried, is the company well known? What is his position?Most of these deals are case by case and never Black and White.

It is said that there areonly two certainties in life.For most of us, a discus-sion about death is difficultand uncomfortable. That isunderstandable. However,as we have a discussionwith families, many peoplebegin to realize that we are
talking about protecting the ones we love, ratherthan death. We buy life, car and home insuranceto protect loved ones from financial hardship. If weprotect from things that might happen, does it makemore sense to protect from something that will hap-pen?
PAF comprises of pre-planning and pre-funding. Pre-planning is a process of making funeral wishes knownand prefunding is paying for funeral arrangements.A good start to this process includes reflection as towhat is important, recording the wishes and shar-ing them with loved ones so they have a blueprintof what you want. When someone passes away andno PAF exist, many questions are unanswered. Thisis especially true when most of those left behindare grieving and overwhelmed and when decisionshave to be made quickly. Preplanning costs nothingand relieves emotional burden.
Prefunding is the process of funding a funeral ar-rangement. All agreements are insurance backedand a special Dignity Goods and Services Agree-ment guarantee costs are frozen at today’s prices.This eliminates financial burden.
Everyone should have a PAF because it relievesloved ones from emotional and financial burdens af-ter a loss has occurred. PAFs are completed when aperson is healthy, happy and are able to make theirown decisions together with family.
As informed consumers, we should be comfortable inexploring all the options available regarding crema-tion or burial and should not hesitate in getting theinformation from trusted sources.
Our professional PAF Advisors come to you at yourhome or wherever it is convenient for you. Ask for afree Personal Planning Guide and Estate PlanningWill kit.

What are some mythsabout hearing loss?
604-434-2070#205-5066 Kingsway, Burnaby BC,V3H 2E7
1) Hearing loss only affects theelderly.
2) My primary physician will tellme if my hearing is failing.
3) I notice a difference in one ear, butthe other is fine, so I’m ok.
4) Hearing aids will make me look “older”and “handicapped”.
5) My hearing loss cannot be helped.6) The consequences of hiding hearing loss are better than wearing
hearing aids.In fact, the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from
hearing aids. And dramatic new technological advances have com-pletely transformed hearing aids in recent years, making them moreeffective, comfortable, and easy to use. So the sooner you identifyhearing loss and start using professionally fitted hearing aids if recom-mended by a hearing healthcare professional, the sooner you’ll beginto reap the rewards of better hearing.

Is rent control a good idea?QA
ASK A REALTOR®
Government policies use pricecontrol to limit the rent a landlordcan charge for rental proper-
ties. However, while low-income ownersmay find housing security in this policy,it also has an adverse effect. We seea significant decrease in the supply of
rental housing as fewer developers and landlords see this type ofinvestment profitable. Rent control give landlords little motivationto make improvements to the building leading to deteriorationand problems such as rat and insect infestation. More and more,we see landlords turning their rental units into condominiums orselling the building to developers. The supply and demand shoulddetermine the market value of rent. What do you think? Give usyour opinion online at West One Real Estate Marketing Facebookpage or send Jenny an email at jenny@westonemarketing.ca.

I’ve read books, watchedvideos and attended work-shops on personal devel-opment, yet I find it verydifficult making a change.Why?
Q
A
ASK A LIFE COACH
This is a great questions. Wantingto change and making a changeare two different things. By having
read, watched and attended workshops you have created anawareness for yourself that change is necessary. Now the toughpart is what have you done to move forward? In coaching, wecall it “Willingness”. What is your willingness to move forward? In mycoaching practice, I go further and ask you to rank that willingness.If it’s high, chances are that you will commit and take action. If it’slow, no action will take place. Most people hire a coach to holdthem accountable. Just remember this, take little steps every dayand eventually you get to your dreams.

Netmindingthekey in juniorLakersrebuildClub confident in chemistry, goalkeeping as it takes aim at a serious push for the B.C. jr lacrosse playoffsDanOlsondolson@burnabynow.com
A fashionable old song mused‘You gotta have heart,’ but in boxlacircles you can add goaltending tothe must-have list.
Both heart and netminding willgo a long way towards the Burn-aby junior Lakers’ goal of movingout of the B.C. Junior A LacrosseLeague basement in 2016.
A swap one month into the2015 season brought Seattle na-tive goalie Graham Husick and so-lidified the position for this year.While the 6-foot-1 netminder,who is a U.S. national team play-er, will miss the start of the sea-son due to college commitments,the team has intermediate gradThomas Hankins able to handle
the workload for the first month.Planning ahead, Burnaby also
dealt for first-year intermediateMatt Hills last week to bolster theorganizational depth in the crease.
“We were in need of an (inter-mediate) goalie and Hills fits thebill,” said Lakers general managerBrad Hara. “He’s a big (6-foot-4)kid, just like Hankins, and he has agood stick.”
It’s just one position where theclub is looking much improved,and must be stronger if it is to puta 4-17 season behind them.
Hara notes recent practices havebeen well attended and the play-ers are hungry, gearing up for theMay 1 season opener.
“I’d say our ball movement hasbeen very good. Our lineup iskind of split one-third for third-
year veterans, one-third for sopho-mores and one-third for first-yearplayers.”
The club has made a handful ofoff-season deals and been runningthrough some grueling practiceswith the intermediate Lakers, withthe focus on building endurance,stamina and team chemistry.
A strong bond among playersis going to play a key role in thisyear’s story, said Hara.
“A big area is going to be teamchemistry,” he noted. “This groupwill work together as a unit, andthat’s how it should be.”
A playoff spot won’t be won bychemistry alone – otherwise train-ing camp would take place in alaboratory. But getting players totoil, sweat and dedicate themselvesfor each other, and face some tre-
mendous challenges with a unifiedwork ethic, can make a season.
Third-year head coach BradParker, former Port Moody policechief, will provide the guidanceand accountability. But it will bethe players who deliver, said Hara.
The Lakers main losses throughgraduation wereTrevor Kirk-by, Justin Appels, RyanVogrigand Jordan Hara. For the first sixweeks they’ll be without AidanMilburn, who led the club with41 goals and 39 assists last seasonand is in his freshman year at RIT.
By reacquiring Danny Spagnu-olo in a swap with Delta that alsobrought in CodyTracey and Jas-per Nahanee, the Lakers have aquality go-to offensive shooterwho can set the tempo.
Spagnuolo counted 24 goals
and 21 assists over 17 games forBurnaby, and tallied 10 points forDelta in six playoff games.
Of the club’s anticipated rook-ies, first-year juniors Jordan Ga-briele and Mason Pomeroy willfit in at opposite ends of the floor,while aged-up Patrick Shoemaywill bolster the lineup as he makesthe jump.
Hara knows the issues that facethe program, which just threeyears ago posted a single win.Thisseason, the puzzle is starting tocome together, he said.
“We were in a big hole and weare digging our way out of it.Wefeel we’re heading in the right di-rection and our goal this year is tomake the playoffs.That is what ev-ery team’s goal should be at thistime of the season.”

HarveyputsuppointsIn what was essentially a must-win forthe Burnaby Lake premier women’steam, the squad blasted UBC 66-10to secure the final spot in the B.C. pre-mier women’s rugby playoffs.
With a rough 48-17 loss to Seat-tle still fresh in their minds, Burna-by dominated the scrums and brokenumerous lines for a game-openingpushover try against UBC.
Burnaby maintained its focus andcarried the ball with authority, withsome slick passing setting up LaurenTagg’s try in the corner.
UBC would cut into the local’s leadbut was beaten back by a string of of-fensive forays. EmilyYoung counteredwith a long dash to end the first half,while the second frame saw even moredomination, as Jessica Harvey scoreda trio of tries. Chipping in with a pairwas Alicia Noger, whileYoung pickedup her second of the day.
Harvey’s performance accountedfor 25 points, as Burnaby Lake provedthat when push comes to shove, theygive no quarters.BURNABYKICKERDELIVERSWIN
The Burnaby Lake men’s premierside shook off a 13-3 deficit to edgeCapilano 21-18.
Trailing by 10 at the half, Burna-by kick-started the comeback on a tryfrom Joe Dolesau, followed by a NolanShelley convert. Angus Fisher gave theLaker crew the lead, but Capilano re-sponded with a crashing try of its ownto push ahead 18-15.
HarperfinishesfifthafterroughstartA rough first day couldn’t keep Burnaby’s
Leo Harper from making a game of it, as hefinished tied for fifth overall at the Maple LeafJunior GolfTour’s Prodigy Series at MorganCreek on the weekend.
In the bantam boys division, Harper start-ed the two-day tourney with a round of 79,registering just one birdie over 18 holes, com-pared to four bogies and two double-bogies.
The second round saw the 13-year-old cutnine strokes off his game, shooting a 2-underpar 70 with three birdies and just one bogie.The winner, Ilirian Zalli ofVancouver, posteda two-round total of 139 (69, 70).
In seventh place was Burnaby’s Andy Luo,13, with a two-day total of 152.
In the peewee boys division, Denby Car-swell placed seventh overall after firing a two-
day tally of 180 (88, 92).Burnaby’s Emily Xu finished in a tie for
fourth in the under-15 girls division.Xu and the rest of the pack were chasing
Surrey’s Susan Xiao, who blazed a path totop spot with rounds of 66 and 69 on the par-73 course. Xu, 14, fired a 5-over par 78 in thefirst round, then struggled with an 85 on thefinal day.Continuedonpage23
