Wanda [email protected]
When staff and volunteersat Burnaby’s Wildlife RescueAssociation of B.C. heard on thenews last Thursday that there hadbeen a major fuel spill in EnglishBay, they sprang into action.Focus Wildlife, the organization
in charge of looking after wildlifeaffected by the spill, has now setup a rehabilitation facility at theHMCS Discovery near StanleyPark. But on Thursday, the dayafter an estimated 2,700 litres ofbunker C fuel oil began leakingfrom the vessel Marathassa, thatwasn’t yet the case.“When something like this
happens, you have to set up fromscratch and even if you’ve goteverything mothballed, if you findany birds you need somewhereto take them to and they came toWildlife Rescue because we wereall ready to go.”Saul Schneider of Environment
Canada’s Canadian WildlifeService said during a mediabriefing Tuesday that 20 to 30waterfowl had been “impacted”by the incident.Most of those have been
concentrated at Jericho Beachand Vanier Park, he said.

responsibility to give voice to hisconstituents’ concerns. “I haveyet to see a strong indication that
Richard Lee has been doing that.”In a telephone interview,
Letourneau, who lives in theriding and teaches at a Coquitlamhigh school, says “I’ve beentrying to get a sense of whathe’s doing. When it comes to theissues that matter in our riding— Burnaby General Hospital,seismic upgrades, the Kinder
Morgan pipeline proposal —there hasn’t been anything putforward [by the MLA.]”On the pipeline, for instance,
Lee has reiterated the provincialgovernment’s position ratherthan reflect his constituents’opposition to the plan.

Heritage homes become teaching toolReal life examples forarchitecture program
Wanda [email protected]
Tim Sargent calls the internationallyrenowned architect Arthur Erickson“basically, my idol.”So as a first-year architecture student
at the B.C. Institute of Technology, tohave the opportunity to produce plansof the Erickson-designed Baldwin Housein Burnaby, suffice to say he was a littlegobsmacked.“For a short time you can actually wrap
your head around the mindset of someoneas great as Arthur Erickson and thenreproduce that in your own work … youcan feel great likewise. It was a movingexperience for me despite the fact it wasjust a student project.”Sargent and his classmates were among
the beneficiaries of a new use for BaldwinHouse and the nearby Eagles Estate, bothbuilt on the shores of Deer Lake. The
homes are owned by the City of Burnabyand for several years had been operatedas short-term rental venues by the LandConservancy of B.C. But that group endedits operating agreement in 2013 as it dealtwith its own ongoing financial troubles.Since then, Burnaby city hall has been
looking into what best to do with theheritage buildings.Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s
heritage commission, said the challengeis that renting them out long term wouldrestrict public access to the properties.She credited Burnaby’s finance director
Denise Jorgenson with the idea of partneringwith local post-secondary schools.BCIT’s architectural science program
came on board and has started developingteaching curriculum using the homes,everything from creating as-built drawingsto using them as case studies for makinghomes more accessible within thelimitations of their heritage status.“It gives thema real house toworkon, it’s not
just theoretical,”Jordan said.Thepartnershipis engaging the community and lettingpeople
know theheritage resources exist.The initiative is currently in the pilot
stages. “If we can get this program goingon a regular basis I think [BCIT] would beour prime tenant and then they would havefirst dibs for using it for their programmingand things like that.”She noted the city also hopes to find
partners to help it develop a volunteergardening program for the properties—theEagles Estate was originally built forthe former dean of agriculture at theUniversity of British Columbia, andits garden was created by UBC’s firstprofessor of horticulture.Architect Peter Levar, program head
for BCIT’s architectural science degree,said BCIT was asked for ideas on how thehouses could best be used.In addition to using them as teaching
tools, the Baldwin House is also servingas a venue for student presentations,drawing architects from across the region,promoting both BCIT’s program as well asthe city properties themselves.The partnership is allowing instructors
to draw attention to architecture inBurnaby. “It’s kind of nice to havesomething like that in the backyard we canjust take the students to,” Levar said.The as-built drawings created by the
students also served to fill a void inBurnaby’s records—it didn’t have any plansof the buildings on file.Sargent said he and his classmates were
presented only with Erickson’s originalplans from the 1960s. An additional storey,a main deck and a boat launch in thoseplans were never built and no new drawingswere produced to reflect the changes.And for Eagles Estate, they only had
a 1960s site survey of the building—essentially a couple of rectangles on thepage—with measurements, “and that wasour base plan.”“Honestly, it’s a huge honour,” he said of
the opportunity. As a first-year architecturestudent he’s producing drawings that theCity of Burnaby will keep on record asdocumentation of two heritage homes. “It’svery humbling to think they actually valueour work that much.”
Joanna Bieganowska and TimSargent, architectural sciencestudents at BCIT, check outsome of the unique features ofBurnaby’s Baldwin House, whichwas designed by Arthur Erickson.They are part of a projectbetween the school and the Cityof Burnaby to create “as-built”blueprints of the house and theneighbouring Eagles Estate.mARio BARtEl/NEWslEADER

School district aimsto find $2.4M in cutsHaving to pay for teacherwage hikes through savings
Wanda [email protected]
What the Education Ministry giveth theEducation Ministry taketh away.That’s largely the reason behind the need
for the $2.4 million in budget cuts Burnabyschool district is having to make nextschool year, the latest in a long string ofdifficult budgets.The ministry promised to fund the wage
increases it negotiated with teachers andsupport workers in 2014, and has done soby providing $1.25 million, said districtsecretary-treasurer Greg Frank in aninterview.However, the ministry then turned
around and demanded cost savings inadministration of $1.19 million.To make things worse, the district is also
expecting the ministry to begin chargingit about $800,000 annually for upgradesto the Provincial Learning Network, aprovincial data service that all districtsuse, akin to a specialized Internet servicecoming into someone’s home.Thanks to that cost, Burnaby will end
up getting less money overall from theprovince, said Frank.Essentially, as in past years, the district
is facing a major shortfall without making
any changes at all to its operations.To operate at status quo would leave
the district short by $6.4 million dueto inflation and increases in the cost ofeverything from utilities to benefits, such ashikes in premiums of four per cent for theMedical Services Plan and eight per centfor WorksafeBC.After applying an expected surplus of
almost $4 million from the current schoolyear, that leaves $2.4 million in savings thedistrict has to find.To that end, district staff have compiled
a list of $3.5 million in potential fundingcuts, providing options to choose from.Among the big-ticket items being
considered are: cutting the money itprovides to deal with inflation, cuttingthe district’s buying power by $344,000;taking back 15 per cent of unspent fundsat schools ($100,000); energy savings($100,000); and teacher retirement benefits($300,000).In Burnaby, teacher retirement benefits
are covered by district policy, not bycontract, Frank explained. “The issue wasoriginally brought forward by teachersduring last year’s budget process.”While several options don’t involve job
cuts, many do, totalling 29.7 full-time-equivalent (FTE) positions.

These include an administrator at thedistrict level ($142,000), five FTEs ofsupplemental staff provided to schoolsoperating the international studentprogram ($445,000), 2 FTEs in adult andcontinuing education ($200,000), and fourFTEs in clerical staff at secondary schools($180,000).Proposed cuts in English Language
Learner staffing (2 FTEs, $178,000),secondary school librarian staffing (0.6FTE, $53,400) and secondary libraryassistants (1 FTE, 31,500) all reflectdeclining enrolment at Burnaby’s highschools, Frank said.Burnaby is also one of the few districts
that still provides secondary school sciencelab assistants who look after organizingand ordering chemicals and supplies. Thedistrict proposes cutting their number byhalf, 2.5 FTEs, for a savings of $115,800.Elementary library staffing is proposed
to be cut by 2.9 FTEs ($258,100), to bespread among all elementary schools.Frank said individual schools would seeno change or losses of 0.1 or 0.2 FTEs inlibrary staff time.
The elementary band staffing allocationswould be cut by 0.2 FTE ($17,800) througha reorganization so both band and musicclasses at a school would be taught by thesame teacher to save on travel time betweenschools, he explained.Other proposed cuts include $164,000

Comment: Parents, please don’t bring crying babies to the theatreThe Royal City Musical
Theatre presents the mostamazing shows at MasseyTheatre. On Sunday, I had thepleasure of attending the matineeofMy Fair Lady. Oh, my!
The orchestra was fabulous,the acting was flawless, everysinger was strong and whenthey sang group numbers it wasmesmerizing. The set designswere brilliant and the scene
changes were certainly part of theentertainment.The only negative factor during
the thre-hour performance,and it’s a big one, was the babycrying most of the time. How
inconsiderate, self-centred, anddisrespectful of the parent to feelshe/he had the right to spoil theshow for so many others.I don’t understand why the
theatre staff did nothing to
remedy this problem. It wasNOT the place for a crying baby!

Schneider said there were threebufflehead ducks in treatment butone has had to be euthanized.One widgeon duck is also intreatment. Capture efforts wereexpected to begin ramping upTuesday, he said.Yolanda Brooks, spokesperson
for Wildlife Rescue, said itsfacility at Burnaby Lake hadtaken into care the threebufflehead ducks, two femalesand one male.“They were quite alert and
quite active and feisty, theydidn’t like being handled. Theywere covered in oil, particularlythe first female we got in, herfeathers were pretty heavily oiled… you couldn’t see any feathercolouring.”The first female, which came
in on Thursday night, had to beeuthanized on Monday, while theother two buffleheads arrived onFriday, Brooks said.A number of Wildlife Rescue’s
staff and volunteers have beentrained in treating oiled birds—it’s the same procedure whetherits petroleum products or cookingoil, she noted.When the birds come in they’re
generally in shock having beenso desperately preening, tryingto get rid of the oil, that they’venot been eating, drinking oreven looking out for predators.The oil causes them to lose theirbuoyancy and ability to regulatetheir body temperature, leavingthem cold.They’re allowed to stabilize in
a warm environment for a day ortwo and tube-fed, with the duckssitting on a cushion of nettingdue to their very delicate feet.Then they’re put through a
cleaning regimen that involvesa specific type of Dawndishwashing liquid only available
in the U.S. They’re washed inone tub of the soapy water afteranother until the water is clearand the birds’ feathers are literallysqueaky clean.Brooks saidWildlife Rescue
treats oiled birds 10 to 15 timesa year , usually only one at atime. But it was an incident lastNovember when they received10 gulls drenched in fish oil thathelped prepare them for the latestoperation. That’s when they madea public plea for donations of theDawn soap from anyone headingacross the border and back.That appeal led to a total
donation of 400 bottles of theblue stuff, enough to last quitesome time. “I’m glad we got themin then because we were ready togo, we just pulled them off theshelf.”Anyone spotting an oiled bird
is advised not to try and grabthem as they’re already in shockand sometimes still partly mobile.“They’re using a lot of theirenergy reserves at this point justto survive so for them to be tryingto escape what they think is apredator is just going to make thewhole situation worse.”Instead, people should notify
those trained to capture thebirds at 604-873-7000 with thewildlife’s location, species andcondition.Having been stabilized and
being well on their way torecovery, the two buffleheads weretransferred to the care of FocusWildlife on Tuesday afternoon.Brooks expressed thanks to
the many volunteers who putin extra shifts helping out, andnoted the incident happened justbefore its annual flurry of activityin the spring, when baby wildlifeneeding help are brought in.“The first duckling came in
yesterday,” she said Tuesday.“You just have to carry on.”
When oil spilled into the waters off English Bay,staff and volunteers at Burnaby’s Wildlife Rescuesprang into action. They received and cared forthree waterfowl that were covered in oil, usinga type of dish soap that’s only available in theUnited States.Sadly, one of the bufflehead duckshad to be euthanized. If you find a bird that hasbeen affected by the spill, you’re asked to phone604-873-7000 and provide the location, species andcondition.

Burnaby politiciansquestion spill responseEnglish Bay incident minorcompared to potential withKinder Morgan expansion: MPWanda [email protected]
The response to the fuel spill in EnglishBay has only highlighted the concerns ofBurnaby politicians opposed to KinderMorgan’s proposed Trans Mountainpipeline expansion.The incident started on the afternoon
of April 8 when an estimated 2,700 litresof bunker fuel oil spilled from the grainfreighterMarathassa.Coast Guard officials said cleanup
efforts are 90 per cent complete, but Cityof Vancouver manager Penny Ballemcautioned Tuesday tar balls could be still inthe water and travel considerable distances.“We will still have globules of oil wash
up on the shore,” she predicted.Ballem said the city is lucky that it
was a small spill that affected about sixkilometres of shoreline, adding oil couldhave spread much further had it not beenfor good weather and tide conditions.She said fish habitat is also a concern,
but said long-term monitoring will berequired to gauge any impacts.According to city officials, the boom
around theMarathassa was not secureduntil nearly 6 a.m. Thursday, about 11hours after the initial spill reports.Burnaby-Douglas NDPMP Kennedy
Stewart noted the spill’s volume is onlyabout 10 per cent of the amount of crudereleased when the Trans Mountain pipelinewas ruptured in North Burnaby in 2007.The response this time was “pathetic,” he
said. “You’ve got a toxic chemical washingup on beaches and they don’t bother toinform the health authorities for 12 hours?”Stewart noted the fuel leak was on a
brand new ship on its maiden voyage. Hequestioned the advertising of pipelinecompanies, saying:“It could never happenhere oh, except for yesterday … There’salways an excuse for why it happens, butthis will continue to happen.”He suggested public reaction to the
incident might have been different 10years ago. But with the current climate of
concerns over pipeline proposals and thepotential for hundreds of oil tankers inlocal waters, “people aren’t content justto have somebody come out and tell themeverything’s OK.”The incident serves to raise awareness of
the potential impacts of turning Vancouverinto a major export port, particularly ofcrude oil. “World class response doesn’tmean zero [spills],” Stewart said. “It meanswith that kind of shipping you have to putup with a certain amount of spillage.”Stewart believes the incident shows
there’s a clash of two visions for localwaters. He said the city of Rotterdam inGermany comes to mind.“It’s not Vancouver. It’s not people lying
on beaches and going skiing and enjoyingtheir yachts and kayaks. It isn’t that. It’s agiant industrial port with polluted watersand really bad air, but that’s the choice thatregion made, they decided they wanted tobuild their economy around that industry,”he said.“I don’t think we’ve been asked the
question here if that’s what we want.”Burnaby council, which has long
opposed Kinder Morgan’s proposal, wasalso not impressed by the response to therelatively minor spill and asked city stafffor a report in hopes lessons can be learnedfor any future incidents here.Coun. Dan Johnston said the fact
Conservative MP James Moore, PremierChristy Clark and Vancouver MayorGregor Robertson are “playing the blamegame doesn’t make the public feel toosecure.”He noted Kinder Morgan has yetto share its emergency preparedness planwith the city, citing security concerns.“Can you imagine if our emergency
responders took six hours to respond tosomething in Burnaby?” said Mayor DerekCorrigan.“This is just an example of the reality—
even with new ships in perfect conditionthat you can have these kinds of accidentsor worse,” Corrigan said. “When you say itcan’t happen to us, why not us?”TheMarathassa has been ordered
detained by the federal government and itsowners are to be held liable for costs.

“It speaks to a certain sense ofentitlement and disengagement with thecommunity he’s supposed to represent,”Letourneau says.The task ahead is to get 40 per cent of
the riding’s 41,233 registered voters from2013 to say that they’re dissatisfied enoughwith Lee’s performance to warrant aby-election.The BC Citizens for Recall has identified
a dozen MLAs it would like to see ousted,all of them BC Liberals. A petition torecall Maple Ridge-Mission MLAMarcDalton is already underway.Asked whether his recall petition was
less about Lee’s personal record and moreabout provincial politics, Letourneau says“my passion is for the democratic processand people have been disengaged fromthat process… It’s more about personalaccountability.”During the teachers’ strike, Letourneau
and fellow teacher Jean-Michel Oblettecreated a board game called Christy’sWorld Oblette told the Georgia Straightthat “each player’s goal is to become themost unpopular leader while ‘wreaking asmuch havoc as you can.’ ”VanCity Buzz said, “In the game, you
play as Christy, a clueless, tyrannicalpolitical wannabe without a conscienceor a college degree who works tirelesslyto become British Columbia’s mostgrotesquely unpopular leader.”
Letourneau toldMetro newspaperthat the game wasn’t meant as a personalattack; “It’s definitely something to raisean awareness of the larger issues.”Jennifer Heighton, who lives in Coquitlam
and teaches in Burnaby, is the campaigndirector for both the Burnaby North recalland the BC Citizens for Recall (https://recallburnabynorth.nationbuilder.com.)She says it’s undemocratic for an MLA
to be elected and then to feel they “don’thave to worry about doing anything for thenext four years.”In the build-up to the petition, Heighton
says volunteers have talked to “hundredsof people” going door to door, and alsoattending events where residents congregate.“From our data, we’re pretty confident”
the recall petition can succeed, she said.They have several teams of volunteers
but also welcome others who want to helpgather signatures.When the NewsLeader contacted Lee’s
office, the paper was told that his positionhas not changed since he was interviewedby reporter Wanda Chow in March.In that interview he said “We have an
election less than two years ago and thegovernment got the mandate to carry outthose programs, balanced budget, keep theAAA credit rating, that kind of thing …I think we just carry out what the voterswere saying.”Despite that, the recall legislation is
a democratic process, he said. “I totallyrespect the process.”
Petitioners ‘confident’ they canrally 16,494 disaffected voters

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud ownerof a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Wincontest.“I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest inelectric cars for some time but never dreamed Iwould own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keysoutside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley.“I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can getout of each charge… I’ll let you know!”With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a fullcharge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friendsand family in Vancouver.British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly sup-plied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest,which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, thebiggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater carwas displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recentVancouver International Auto Show,where it attracted thousands ofadmiring looks.SCRAP-IT announced its newincentive program in Drivewayjust before the show. It’s offer-ing a $3,000 rebate for electric carpurchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle.This is in addition to the newly announced provincialgovernment program.SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Ve-hicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times moreemissions than later models and electric vehicles haveeven much lower emissions.”Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on theSCRAP-IT.ca website.

Family wagon with sporty genesCompact crossovers are perfectfor moving families around incomfort and confidence, especial-ly when equipped with all wheeldrive (AWD).With so many new entries cominginto the market, challenging theestablished frontrunners likethe Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4and Ford Escape, each manufac-turer needs an angle. Mazda’sapproach with the 2016 CX-5is a sporty attitude and upscaleamenities. Mazda has taken theoriginal CX-5, which first arrivedin 2013 and has given it morefeatures, a new front design butkept the same “Zoom-Zoom”attitude.LooksThe Mazda CX-5 is not as bigas the CR-V or Nissan Rouge but larger thanthe VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson. It is smallenough to make city manoeuvering easybut large enough for an average family. Theupdates to the exterior for 2016 include a new,more bold front grille, reworked front bumperand on the top GT (seen here), LED headlights,fog lights and taillights. The GT also gets greatlooking 19-inch wheels, and the lower trimlevels are fitted with 17-inch wheels.InsideWhat sets the CX-5 apart from much of the
competition is a class-above dashand interior. Most of the productsin this class come fitted withhard, cheap-feeling dashboardsand utilitarian feeling switchesand dials. Mazda has investedheavily in the interior, producinga soft touch dash, smooth andsophisticated looking and feelingswitchgear, all making the cabinmore upscale.On the base model, buyers mustinvest in the $1,900 conveniencepackage to get essential items likeBluetooth, radio controls on thesteering wheel and the new HMIcentre control unit that interactswith the 7-inch centre screen.This brings the price to $26,795,placing it right in the middle ofthe compact market. The middle
$29,249 GS trim will be the volume seller,thanks to a bigger engine and a new heightadjustable passenger seat, two USB connectorsin the centre console, and blind spot moni-toring system. The top $34,895 GT trim (seenhere) adds automatic climate control, standardnavigation, 19-inch wheels and leather interior.Unfortunately, none of the CX-5 models comewith a power tailgate.DriveMazda has stuck with the 155hp 2.0L directinjection engine and a manual transmission in
the base model. This combo is only availablewith front wheel drive (FWD). If the base en-gine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD)system, then the buyer needs to choose the6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GTtrim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWDor AWD and all GT models come standardwith AWD.What sets this apart from the competition isthe handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakesinto its products. The CX-5 can be throwninto corners with true confidence but thesuspension is never jarring. The GS and GTalso come standard with a sport setting forthe transmission that is too aggressive fordaily use. The base setting works the best andwhen more power is needed, I tended to flickthe transmission to manual mode for a moreprecise experience.
VerdictIt might not be the least expensive vehicle inthis hot compact crossover segment but dueto a conventional 6-speed automatic and classabove amenities, it’s certainly in the runningas a segment leader.
The LowdownPower: 155hp 2.0L or 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinderFill-up: 9.8L/7.9L/100km (city/highway)Sticker price: $24,895-$36,995

Sockeye overfishing riskssalmon future: criticsJeff [email protected]
Conservationists say federal fisherymanagers allowed serious overfishing ofFraser River sockeye salmon last summerand too few fish spawned as a result.And they say a continued policy of
allowing overly aggressive commercialfishing threatens to wallop vulnerablesalmon runs again this summer.Last year saw a large run of 20 million
sockeye but Watershed Watch SalmonSociety executive director Aaron Hill saidthe number that actually spawned endedup 1.4 million below the target of 7.3million set by the Department of Fisheriesand Oceans.The spawning shortfall would have been
nearly three million or 41 per cent belowthe target had fishermen taken all thesockeye they’d been allocated.“Big catches were obviously the big
priority for our federal government, notprudent management,”Hill said.The endangered Cultus Lake sockeye
and Interior coho runs were among thestocks that fell dangerously short oftheir spawning targets last year, he said,
raising doubts about the strength of futuregenerations.Last year DFO riled First Nations and
conservationists when it quadrupled themaximum catch by Canadian fishermenof the coho run – from four per cent inprevious years to 16 per cent – effectivelysacrificing more threatened coho soabundant sockeye could be caught.This year’s fishing plan would maintain
the same higher limits set last year. Hillsaid that’s a bad idea, since this year’ssockeye run is projected to be lower ataround seven million and environmentalconditions appear troubling.“This year we’re looking at amassive
unprecedented warming event in the northPacific,record lowsnowpacksand concernsaboutmarineproductivityin general.It’s toorisky,”Hillsaid.

Themajority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackground noise they are able tohear that something is being spoken,but can no longer discern preciselywhat is being said. The words seemblurredand indistinct.Butwhy is that?The effect tends to manifest itself incompany, or in the restaurant. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived atthe entrance to the cochlea that aredecisive when it comes to hearingthings accurately. In the majority ofcases these parts of the inner ear arethe first to be affected by noise oraging. As the high-pitched tones areno longerperceivedwell, the auditorycenter of the brain begins to struggleto decode language. It’s a bit like animage thatdoesn’t have enoughpixels.
New hearing chip developedSwiss audiologists have developeda new hearing chip that is designedto restore speech comprehension,particularly with hearing loss in thehigh-frequency range. People cantest the new Audéo V system byPhonak simply by calling now todo so. The test phase in particularis designed to clarify how speechcomprehension can be improved invarious situations and what role anew technology called “AutosenseOS” plays. The chip recognizeswhere the person being spoken to is
located and amplifies only his or hervoice, while ambient noise is loweredand the optimumhearing programsare seamlessly adjusted. Thanks toseveral synchronous microphones,the hearing system can detect soundin all directions and select the dir-ection that speech is coming fromwithin milliseconds. According toSwiss researchers, this significantlyaugments speech comprehension,especially in conversation. Interestedpeople can register for a no-obliga-tion demonstration of the Audéo Vby calling 1.888.771.7459

Low snow levels makeflooding less likelyJeff Nagel
Southwestern B.C. snowpack levelscontinue to be extremely low, accordingto the latest readings from B.C.’s RiverForecast Centre.The snow content in the alpine was 13
per cent on the South Coast, 26 per centin the Lower Fraser and 15 per cent onVancouver Island as of April 1.The lack of alpine snow makes spring
flooding less likely but could meandifficult conditions for returning salmon,dangerously dry forests during wildfireseason and potential water use restrictionsin some areas.The centre said temperatures were one to
three degrees above normal along the coastin March and three to five degrees abovenormal in the Interior.Most of the Interior has snowpacks
much closer to normal, but the provincialsnowpack as a whole is 73 per cent ofnormal – the second lowest B.C. average in31 years of records.
Third Evergreen sinkholeAnother sinkhole has opened along the
construction route of the new EvergreenLine SkyTrain extension from Burnaby toCoquitlam.The latest – the third so far – is a five-
by-five metre dip in Port Moody’s CollegePark area that prompted a temporary haltin tunneling by the rapid transit project’stunnel boring machine.There is so far no further delay in the
new SkyTrain line’s expected opening dateof fall 2016, which was previously pushedback from the summer of 2016 due toslower than expected tunnelling.
Plebiscite offices openElections BC has opened nine service
offices to help ensure voters in the MetroVancouver transportation and transitplebiscite are able to get ballots and returnthem by the May 29 deadline.The offices are located at Lougheed
Town Centre in Burnaby, Capilano Mallin North Vancouver, Central City Mall inSurrey, Chinatown Plaza in Vancouver,City Square Shopping Centre on West12th Avenue in Vancouver, CoquitlamCentre, Haney Place Mall in Maple Ridge,Richmond Centre Mall and WillowbrookShopping Centre in Langley.Voters who have trouble receiving mail
or who didn’t receive a ballot in the mailcan ask for one at any of the centres upuntil May 15 and drop off their ballot upuntil the 8 p.m. May 29 close of voting.They can also register to vote, update theirregistration and get other information onvoting in the plebiscite at the offices.Voters are asked to say yes or no to a
proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increasewithin Metro Vancouver to fund new rapidtransit lines, improved bus service andother transit and transportation upgrades.
Measles cases growEleven measles cases in Metro
Vancouver are now linked to an infectedpassenger who flew on a March 21 AirChina flight from Beijing to Vancouver.Officials with the B.C. Centre for Disease
Control say all cases confirmed so far arepeople who were either on the original flightor in contact with someone who had been.One case involving a Port Coquitlam
high school student is in the Fraser Healthregion, while all other cases are in theVancouver Coastal region.

Long before Downton Abbey gave us apeak into the upstairs/downstairs worldof English society,My Fair Lady wasgiving us lessons on how to transform aDaisy into a Lady Mary.The musical, which premiered on
Broadway in the mid-1950s, is a storyabout Eliza, a Cockney flower girl whotakes speech lessons from a professor soshe may pass as a lady.The way she speaks informs many
other things about her as a person, notesTracy Neff, who portrays Eliza Doolittlein Royal City Musical Theatre’s currentproduction at Massey Theatre.“It’s an amazing part to play because
it’s really multi-faceted,” says Neff,adding the story deals a lot with theclass system.What makes the role vocally
challenging is the need to learn how tospeak, and sing, in two totally differentdialects.This is her first time working with
Royal City Musical Theatre. She says thegroup has a family feeling about it andthat the cast is fantastic.The musical runs at Massey Theatre,
735 Eighth Ave., NewWestminster,through April 26.Tickets are $26 to $47. Contact the
box office at www.masseytheatre.com orcall 604-521-5050.For further information visit www.

T here’s no limit to the extent ofamenities being offered withnew developments these days.
Everything from golf courses to gar-dens, pools to gyms, billiards rooms toprivate libraries. Some even come withtheir own concierge. But these add-onsdon’t come free and owners need to besure they are buying into a develop-ment whose lifestyle suits their own,or they end up paying for features theydon’t use.Developers include amenities as a
way to stand out from their competi-tion and create a community whereconvenience is built in. With homesbecoming smaller, it is also a way tooffer buyers larger spaces to entertainand be entertained. And now, whereasamenities used to be built during aproject’s final phase, a trend is emerg-ing to add these earlier on.“It makes sense to build amenities
early,” says Geoff Duyker, the se-nior vice president of marketing forMOSAIC Homes, which is currentlydeveloping the residential portion ofthe master-planned Fremont RiverfrontDistrict in Port Coquitlam. “As home-builders, we recognize our homes areworth more, are more desirable andsell faster when an owner can experi-ence an amenity building the same daythey move in.”MOSAIC conducts extensive research
during its planning stages to determinewhat amenities customers are look-ing for. In the case of Fremont, thatincludes a 12,500-square-foot club-house with a pool, great room, gym,children’s playroom, garden plots andbike-share program all managed by aresident caretaker. In Duyker’s words,
LuxuryAmenities Luring NewHome Buyers
“It’s a complete community wherepeople can live, work and play.”Tsawwassen Springs includes a
32,000-square-foot clubhouse to servethe community and the owners of the490 homes on site. The clubhouse in-cludes a banquet room, restaurant andpub, gym, and an outdoor skating rinkduring the winter months. TsawwassenSprings also includes an 18-hole golfcourse which opened in August 2012.Sarah Toigo, director of sales and
marketing at Tsawwassen Springs, says,
a 12-foot waterfall. With a privatelibrary, a fireside lounge and conciergeservice, the developer’s aim is to createa luxurious hotel-style ambience. Thebuilding will also include a fitness cen-tre, yoga studio, social room, privatedining room, chef ’s kitchen and largegarden terrace.“If you purchase a one-bedroom
home, you can still entertain on agrand scale,” said Matthew Karmal,Tate Downtown’s sales manager. “Youwould just book the gourmet kitchenand dining area and get everythingready while your guests enjoy the pri-vate gardens.”Looking outside of Metro Vancouver,
The Cottages on Lake Osoyoos is a newresidential project by Van Maren Groupof Companies in the south Okanagan.Amenities include 1,800 feet of privatewaterfront, boat slips, 20 acres of greenspace with abundant walking trails anda clubhouse that has just opened in lateJuly. by Van Maren Group of Compa-nies in the south Okanagan.Managing partner Eric Van Maren
Van Maren says “We’re selling mostlyto retiring boomers from Calgary,Edmonton and Vancouver who needa place to connect with people. Theclubhouse provides that. And they wantpools for when their families come tovisit.”Van Maren estimates that the ame-
nities at The Cottages add $10,000 to$12,000 to the cost of a home there.“That’s not a huge investment if this isyour dream retirement home,” he said.“No doubt, there’s a cost associatedwith maintaining these facilities. But Ithink it’s a cost wealthy baby boomerswould gladly pay.”
“Amenities are more important for buy-ers coming other parts of Metro Van-couver who are used to having thesefacilities nearby so they don’t feel likethey’re giving up conveniences.”Despite the existence of plenty of
public amenities in locations such asdowntown Vancouver, developers thereare also enticing homebuyers with lav-ish offerings. At the Tate Downtown,currently in pre-construction, ownerswill enter their homes via the overhe-ight lobby or the carriage porch with
