A community activist is concerned thatillegal tree topping on Capitol Hill will notonly have a harmful effect on nature, buton Burnaby residents as well.
In April, Judi Marshall was walkingalong Hythe Avenue with her husband to-wards theTrans CanadaTrail when theynoticed the path was littered with largebranches.
“We said, ‘That’s weird,’” Marshall re-called.
Upon investigating, Marshall discoveredthat several trees above the trail appearedto have been topped. Marshall suspects alocal resident seeking a better view for theirdeck is responsible.
“It’s just pure selfishness,” she said.“(The trail) belongs to all of us.”
Marshall, who has spoken publicly abouther opposition to the nearby ChevronBurnaby refinery, believes the once 40-footHemlocks partially shielded the neighbour-hood from the worst of the refinery’s emis-sions. But due to the recent tree chopping,residents will be in danger of being hit byloose branches and increased access tofumes, according to Marshall.
“He thinks he’s opened up a nice view,but he’s really opened up a nice corridor sohe can get blasted (by those emissions),”she said.
Marshall contacted the City of Burna-by following her discovery.The city con-firmed that nearly 20 trees on city propertyhad been recently topped in the area with-out a permit.
The city is aware of the incident, but asthe director or parks and recreation DaveEllenwood explained, they need to catch

It didn’t take long for the NDPto find a candidate to replace re-tiring Burnaby-Deer Lake MLAKathy Corrigan. In fact, it tookonly about a week.
On Sunday, the party made itofficial, acclaiming current citycouncillor Anne Kang as the can-didate in the riding.
The school teacher and three-time councillor said she decid-ed to make the jump to provincialpolitics when she heard Corriganwas retiring. After a discussionwith her family, Kang was in.
“I want to make sure there wassomeone else who would be ableto represent Burnaby the way she(Corrigan) would,” she told theNOW, adding she also has thesupport from her fellow councilcolleagues.
Though a provincial election isstill a year away, there are someissues Kang plans to focus on,mainly health care and education.
She said she had both her chil-dren at Burnaby Hospital but ar-gued that with an increasing pop-ulation in the city and the facility’sage, it’s in need of upgrading andreinvestment.
Kang also wants to tackle edu-cation funding.
“With these cutbacks, it’s reallyhurting the kids who need specialsupports at school,” she said.
Kang currently teaches musicand suggested arts programs arefirst to get cut, arguing these pro-grams give confidence and

PINNED:BurnabyMounties areinvestigatingacrash thatinjured twopedestriansandatonepointpinnedawomanunder thevehicle.The incidenthappenedat 7p.m.Mondayevening,whena truckheadingwestonAlbert Street turned rightonIngletonAvenueandhit twopeoplewalking through theintersection, according toBurnabyRCMP.Onewomanwas taken tohospitalwitharm injuriesafter shewaspinnedunderneath the truck. Asecondpersonwas treatedfor injuries at the scene.Police said the crash is stillunder investigation, butalcoholmayhavebeenafactor. Thedriver receiveda ticketunder theMotorVehicleAct.The twopedestrianswerefromBurnaby, butpolicedidnotprovideany informationabout thedriver. PHOTORYANSTELTING
It’s a common scamthat’s been making therounds for years, but themost recent incident of animposter posing as a taxagency rep provided anunfortunate new twist forone Burnaby resident.
And the nature of thescam has Burnaby Mount-ies warning the public be-fore another person fallsvictim.
Police got a call lastThursday from a wom-an in North Burnaby.She had been contactedby a man claiming to bewith the Canada RevenueAgency who told her sheowed money, and if shedidn’t pay, she’d be cuffedand thrown in jail.
In this case, the callerwanted $8,000 worth ofiTunes cards. So the vic-tim ended up purchas-ing 16 cards, each worth$500.
Police believe the vic-tim gave the caller the ac-tivation numbers for thecards. By the time Mount-ies were called, the moneyhad been spent.
“It’s really sad,” saidRCMP Staff Sgt. Maj.John Buis. “It’s sad to say
that people are taking ad-vantage of other people’sgoodwill.”
He said it’s the first timelocal RCMP have comeacross the scam involvingiTunes cards, suggestingit may have originated inEastern Canada.
“A lot of times thosescams, they wear out theirwelcome in a certain area,and then they try some-where else,” he said.
Police also provided thenumber that the wom-an was called from – 613-686-3104 – in an effort towarn the public.
An internet searchfound the number hasbeen flagged on severalwebsites by a number ofpeople for being involvedin a CRA scam.
Buis said investigatorswill try to track down theculprit through Apple,which operates iTunes, butsuggested solving thesetypes of crimes can be dif-ficult.The scammer couldbe calling from anywhere.
He said the best thingfor people to do is not an-swer if they get a call fromthe number. Buis also not-ed the CRA doesn’t arrestpeople.
Local Mounties are trying to fig-ure out who’s responsible for leav-ing pails of hazardous chemicals at aconstruction site in South Burnaby.
Police got the call about the pailsfrom the fire department Mondayafternoon, at a residence under con-struction in the 4200 block of Rum-ble Street.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buissaid a hazmat team is testing thechemicals but suggested there areindications the pails came from aclandestine drug lab.
He noted police have found anumber of these sites recently in
the area south of Metrotown. In thecase of Monday’s discovery, he saidinvestigators can’t trace the chem-icals to anyone, but they don’t be-lieve the homeowner is involved.There was no one living in thehome at the time.
“It follows a pattern that thesethings are dropped off at placeswhere they’re not seen for a while,”Buis told the NOW.
The area police are looking at issouth of Kingsway, west of GilleyAvenue and east of Boundary Road.
Buis said the chemicals could notonly be dangerous if they’re openedby someone who doesn’t know whatthey’re doing, but they could alsoharm the environment if spilled.
“Anytime people are dumpinganything or leaving a large amountof pails like this – 40 or 50 pails ofchemicals – to contact police,” hesaid.
In March, Delta police led an in-vestigation that shut down a ma-jor fentanyl lab in a complex in the6800 block of Prenter Street, not farfrom the area where police are in-vestigating the chemicals.
The apartment was describedas a fentanyl processing lab, whichmeans people were taking the drugand turning it into something thatcan be sold on the street. It was alsodescribed as the biggest fentanyl labin B.C. to date.

Sigh,we’vebecomeusedtotaxhikesBurnaby is hiking your
taxes by 2.65 per cent.It could be worse, and it
could be better.Over on the North Shore,
WestVancouver is hiking itstaxes by 6.89 per cent andNorthVancouver is hikingtheirs by 3.9 per cent. So,2.65 per cent seems down-right reasonable.
We can’t remember atime when any city didn’thike its taxes. It seems like abenchmark of some sort hasbeen set around the 2.5 per
cent mark.You might get some
squabbles from taxpayerswhen taxes go up 2.5 percent, but most don’t seemto get riled unless it goes tothe three per cent mark.
And, as usual, local politi-cians point to wages and in-flation as the primary trig-gers for the hike.
And, they’re right.Wag-es make up a humongouspart of the budget, and giv-en the unionized nature ofcity employment, pretty
much every collective agree-ment includes wage hikesand benefit increases.Thenthere’s the city hall manag-ers’ salaries that make theaverage wage earner greenwith envy. Up to now, it’sbeen easier for city coun-cils to hike taxes than to sayno to their union workers –who, in Burnaby, are active-ly involved in city elections.
Some taxpayers suggestedthe city should use all of its2015 surplus to bring downthe increase.The city did
use $1.2 million from thatfund to minimize the im-pact of the tax increase. Butit did have an $8.6 millionsurplus.
But even if they did that,it isn’t going to make a greatdeal of difference.
What will make a differ-ence is the property assess-ments.
Though the city adjustsits mill rate to account forproperty value increases,those whose property valueshave skyrocketed far more
than average – in some cas-es up to 30 per cent – willundoubtably suffer some“sticker shock” when the2.65 per cent tax increasehits.
City council has been try-ing to make sure that tax-payers realize that local poli-ticians have no control overthe real estate market.To besure, they know that evenwith all of their finger point-ing at the province, taxpay-ers will direct their anger atcity hall, not Christy Clark.
But is there a tippingpoint?Will high tax billstrigger a citizen revolt inBurnaby? Is there aTrumpmovement just waiting for alocal leader?
We doubt it. Like frogsin boiling water, Canadiantaxpayers are, for the mostpart, accepting of tax hikes.
As long as their wateris clean, their roads pass-able, their community poolsopen, they seem to beartheir tax burden with Cana-dian-like stoicism.

Not a fan of false teeth
Liberalssailonunperturbed
The B.C. Liberals showno sign of dropping theirpublic pretence that all iswell in the world and thattheir hold on power in thisprovince will not end any-time soon, no matter howmany controversies may be-fall them.
Whether it involves schooltrustees complaining abouta lack of funding or out-cries over political fundrais-ing and the generous salarythe B.C. Liberal party pro-vides Premier Christy Clark,or grumpiness over ever-rising B.C. Hydro rates,ICBC rates, MSP premi-ums and what have you, theB.C. Liberals just sail alongseemingly unperturbedabout anything.
How to explain this hu-bris, this entrenched confi-dence? Part of the answerlies in their entirely unex-pected, yet decisive, elec-tion victory in 2013. If yourecall, the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment was beset with in-ternal strife just before theelection campaign andseemed to be falling apart.
Clark herself seemed un-popular and not particu-larly liked by a number ofmembers of her own cau-cus.Things looked decided-ly bleak for her and her par-ty, and yet when the smokecleared on election night,not only had the B.C. Lib-erals won, but they had heldtheir seat count.
This verdict seems tohave convinced the B.C.Liberals of two vital points:people don’t focus on poli-tics until an election cam-paign actually begins, andwhen they do they think
mostly about their econom-ic future above everythingelse.The premier and hercolleagues insist controver-sies like fundraising or ques-tions about B.C. Hydro’saccounting methods aresimply the equivalent ofnoise for average folks andwon’t determine the out-come of next spring’s elec-tion.They may be entirelycorrect. After all, many folks(including myself) thoughtcontroversies and scandalsof varying degrees wouldhave played a key role in thelast election’s outcome, andthey most certainly did not.
It’s important to remem-ber that governments of allstripes build up an impres-sive pile of scandals overtime, and they don’t neces-sarily lead to electoral di-saster.The premier and herparty are betting that noth-ing has changed.They lookat their chief opponent –the New Democratic Party– and see a party associat-ed with losing far more of-ten than winning, and fornot being known for havinga strong, credible reputationwhen it comes to anythingabout the economy.
And so the B.C. Liber-als add it all up and thinkit points to an election de-cision that has favoured itsside in 15 of the last 18 con-tests. People vote with theirwallets, so they believe, notwith their emotions.
As I have noted, they maybe quite right. But it doesn’tnecessarily make for goodgovernment, just for a per-petually winning one.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-
cal reporter for Global B.C.

alreadymeets global standards,we’re propos-ing additionalmeasures informedby riskassessments, product testing andoil spillmodelling thatwill further improve safety forthe entiremarine shipping industry – becausespill response is about ferries, cruise and cargoships, andall the vessels usingourwaterways.This includes a $100-million investment in

transit through theSalish Sea each year, andof those 600 are tankers. Todayour pipelineterminal serves about five tankers permonth,and if our project is approved this could in-crease toup to 34 tankers permonth. In reality,we’re only a small part of the existing tankertraffic, andour expansionproposes the samesized vessels, shipping the sameproducts aswedo today.We share the valueBritishColumbians

He said it’s difficult forthe city to do so, with somuch ground to cover.
The city’s fine for defac-
ing city property is $2,000.“It’s very, very frustrat-
ing,” Ellenwood said. “It’sfrustrating for our staff inthe field when they’ve putin so much work to main-tain the public forest to seesomeone unilaterally for
their own interest do some-thing like that. It is frustrat-ing because those are for thepublic enjoyment of our cit-izens.”
While tree toppings arefairly rare in Burnaby, thecity did point out it happens
from time to time.Ellenwood suggested
sometimes the work is doneat the hands of a contractorwho knows the rules but isjust trying to make a buck.
He warned any contrac-tor found breaking the rules
won’t be working in the cityagain.
“If they (the public) seea contractor and they knowit’s in the public propertydoing things they shouldn’t,these business depend onknowing the rules,” he said.
Meanwhile, Marshallhopes that public awarenesswill shame those responsibleaway from a repeat attempt.

Last month, Corrigan,a two-term MLA, told theNOW she was prompted toretire from politics in partbecause of back problemsand the potential to spendmore time with her family.She will be staying on untilthe next election.
The NDP took the Burn-aby-Deer Lake riding in2013 by more than 900
votes over the Lib-erals.
While the rid-ing has gone NDPthe last elections,the party has failedto make a break-through and formgovernment.
Kang said shehas a lot of con-fidence in NDPleader John Hor-gan and the party’s chancesin 2017.
“I think he’s agreat leader,” shesaid.
Kang will con-tinue to serve as acity councillor, butif successful, shewould have stepdown, potentiallytriggering a munic-ipal byelection forthe open seat.
She was firstelected to city council in2008.
Kang does have one chal-lenger in the race.
Burnaby resident EliasIshak announced he’s run-ning as an independent inthe constituency.
He told the NOW hewanted to run because noneof the main parties will ad-dress the more “controver-sial” issues.
The issues he listed off in-clude abolishing the monar-chy and ICBC, and legaliz-ing the sale of raw milk. He
said if elected he would alsointroduce a bill restrictinghow many and what kinds
of properties non-citizenscan buy.
Ishak, 23, said Kang hasan advantage being part of aparty but added he wouldn’trun if he didn’t think he hada chance to win.
“A lot of people are be-coming disillusioned withthe party system,” he said.
Ishak ran in the lastschool board election in2014, picking up 5,511votes but finishing last.

A Burnaby man in his20s was sent to hospitalwith a stab wound followinga brawl at a hookah loungeearly Sunday morning.
Police were called to Kis-met Hookah Lounge onKingsway at around 3 a.m.to a report of 20 men fight-ing.
Burnaby RCMP Staff
Sgt. Maj. John Buis said agroup of men were deniedentry into the lounge, whenallegedly pepper spray wasset off inside the lounge.
The group of people leftthe establishment, but theconfrontation continued inthe back parking lot.
One person was stabbedin the abdomen and takento the hospital for treatmentof non-life-threatening inju-ries. No one was arrested.
Buis said investigators be-lieve all the men knew eachother but noted the peopleat the scene are not provid-ing much information.
“(It’s a case of) peoplerunning into each other, notliking each other, and we’restill following up with fur-ther interviews,” he said.
Buis noted local RCMPhaven’t had to deal withany significant calls to thelounge in recent months.
Burnaby residents arecertainly doing their partwhen it comes to waste andrecycling, but there’s stillroom for improvement fromcity hall’s perspective.
The city’s recent 2015solid waste and recyclingannual report offers a snap-shot of the city’s waste pro-grams, which has foundsome difficulties in keep-ing green waste out of therecycling stream, mostly inmulti-family buildings.
As a result, the city willbe conducting a curbsidecollection audit and usingthe findings to target pro-grams to reduce the amountof waste that isn’t properlydisposed of and to increaseparticipation in the greenbin program.
Coun. Petro Calendino,who sits on the city’s envi-ronmental committee, saidthe plan is to find out wherethe improper disposal ishappening. He said it wouldbe followed by warning let-
ters, and eventually fines.“We really don’t want
other taxpayers to be pay-ing for the neglect of somewho are not careful,” hesaid, noting the city is onlyallowed a certain percent-age of contaminants beforeit faces its own fines.
Coun. Anne Kang, thechair of the city’s environ-ment committee, said she’dlike to see greater gains ingreen waste and recycling,suggesting a plateau fromthe previous year.
She said she hopes moreeducation and the imple-mentation of the multi-fam-ily green waste program willpush the diversion rates up.
Kang also suggested itcan take years and even ageneration to change habits.
According to the report,the city collected approx-imately 64,000 tonnes ofgarbage and recyclables in2015, generated by resi-dents and businesses, notincluding green waste.
A total of 51 per centwas disposed of as garbage,while another 31.6 per cent
was diverted as green waste,and 17.4 per cent as recy-cling.
A closer look shows thecity collected nearly 17,000tonnes of garbage from sin-gle family households lastyear, a 13 per cent decreasefrom 2014.
Prior to the introductionof recycling and green wastediversion programs, the an-nual volume of garbage col-lected was 40,000 tonnes. Itrepresents a 57 per cent re-duction from 1989 levels.
Another 16,000 tonnes ofgarbage was collected frommulti-family and industri-al/commercial properties,which was a decrease of justfour per cent from the pre-vious year.
Other initiatives the citywill focus on in 2016 in-clude:! completion of the greenwaste collection program formulti-family complexes.! introduction of a pi-lot project for bear-resistantgreen bins to multi-familyresidents impacted by hu-man-bear interactions.

A woman has been hand-ed a 90-day sentence andordered to apologize tothe victim for her part in ahome invasion in Burnabyback in June 2014.
A B.C. Supreme Courtjudge sentenced Chris-ty Dawn Mariash to 90days in jail, to be served onweekends, after she pleadedguilty to one count of rob-bery.
According to court docu-ments, the victim Moham-mad Khan was at his homein Burnaby when Mariashknocked on his front doorand asked to use the phoneclaiming car trouble. Shortlythereafter, two men forcedtheir way into the victim’shome.
One man, who was lateridentified as Brian Kiraly-Miller, wore a mask to con-ceal his identity.The otherman was identified as Aar-onWray. Once inside,Wrayheld Khan at knifepointwhile both he and Kiraly-
Miller ransacked the homelooking for various items.They stole Khan’s wallet,cellphone and other items,including some drugs.
Court found that Mariashalso entered the home butdid not participate in con-fining the victim or threaten-ing him with violence. Shedid help herself to a beerand helped the two men togather the various stolenitems. Eventually, all threeleft the home in a vehicle.
A neighbour caught the li-cence plate and shortly after,police arrested Mariash andKiraly-Miller as they got outof the vehicle.Wray sped offbut was later apprehended.Items belonging to the vic-tim, including the wallet andthe drugs, were found in thevehicle, along with a facemask worn by Kiraly-Miller.
Court documents notedMariash was in a relation-ship withWray.They wereboth drug addicts and wereunder the influence of drugsat the time of the incident.
BothWray and Kiraly-Miller were found guilty of
robbery charges in a sepa-rate trial back in Novem-ber.Their sentence was ex-pected to be handed downin March.
While Justice Shelley Fitz-patrick noted a mitigatingfactor in her sentence wasthat Mariash pleaded guiltyand took responsibility forher actions, she also foundthe nature of the crime to bean aggravating factor.
“The impact on the com-munity also needs to beconsidered,” she wrote.“Home invasions have, un-fortunately, become anever-increasing problemin our communities.Theyare violent and traumaticevents. Moreover, home in-vasions are a violation of ourpersonal sense of safety andsecurity in the very placewhere we expect it the most.… Such a violation is notfleeting but can be felt byvictims for years to come.”
Mariash, 34, was also giv-en two years of probationand a ban from possessingweapons.

Ask Paul Moniz de Sáabout the youth involvedin Arts Umbrella, and hispride is palpable across thephone line.
“It’s really wonderful tosee these young actors growas professionals and as peo-ple,” he says. “I’m reallyproud of the work they’redoing.”
Moniz de Sá, a Burnabyresident, is the artistic direc-tor of theatre and music forArts Umbrella, a not-for-profit arts education centrebased on Granville Island.He’s getting his studentsready for the annualTheatreand Music Expressions Fes-tival, running May 11 to 22.(See sidebar for program.)
The festival showcasesthe work of students in thepre-professional programand theatre intensive cours-es, ranging in age from nineto 19.The programs are de-signed for youth with a realinterest in studying theatre,beyond what they can get intheir own high schools.
Moniz de Sá notes that,for many of the kids who
enter, it’s a case of the “bigfish in a small pond” be-coming a “small fish in a bigpond” when they arrive ina place full of other top andtalented students.
“They’re upping eachother’s game,” he notes.“It’s a hub for young teensand young actors who wantsomething more.”
Many of the youth in-volved stay with Arts Um-brella programs for years.In this year’s senior theatretroupe production of Ju-lius Caesar, for instance, theteen girl playing Cassiusstarted with Arts Umbrel-la when she was eight yearsold and is now graduatinghigh school. (Yes, you readthat right, the productiondoes have a female Cassius– and a female Julius Caesarand Brutus to boot. Monizde Sá is thrilled to givehis young female actors achance to try non-tradition-al roles, and it’s a trend hesays is growing in the the-atre world.)
Arts Umbrella gives kidsa chance to learn from pro-fessionals – not only on theacting side, but on the tech-nical and stagecraft side, ex-
ploring elements such asset, lighting and costumedesign.
Many will go on to pur-sue careers in theatre orstagecraft – graduates arecurrently working in Chica-go, NewYork City,Toronto,Montreal andVancouver asworking actors – while oth-ers will take their studiesinto a range of professions.
For all the youth, Monizde Sá notes, the opportu-nities they got at Arts Um-brella are formative parts oftheir lives.
“It’s been an importantpart of them finding them-selves and knowing whothey are,” he says. “They re-ally find that sense of homeaway from home.We createa safe place for them to ex-plore the different aspectsof theatre and also of them-selves.”
He says theatre does alot for youth on the roadto self-discovery: it helpsthem see the world in newways and to develop empa-thy for others.To work withyoung actors in those for-mative years is a privilege hedoesn’t take for granted.
“It’s at a time in their lives
when the art means a lot tothem,” he says.
And he knows what of hespeaks: Moniz de Sá himselfstarted at Arts Umbrella asa teenager in 1990.
Theatre wasn’t exactlysomething that was expect-ed in his family, he says – asthe youngest of eight kids,he’s the only one involved inthe world. His family is Por-tuguese, via the Azores, andhis dad had always been in-terested in the arts.
“Dad used to bring in-struments home and hopesomebody would playthem,” Moniz de Sá says. “Iwas the one who would playthem.”
His father died when hewas just seven, and it wasonly later than Moniz de Sálearned that his dad had al-ways been interested in act-ing and performing but hadnever been allowed to pur-sue it.
Which makes it all themore special for him, as afather himself now, to seehis love of the arts blossom-ing in his own eight-year-old son (who, by the way,just auditioned for a schooltalent show with a Puck
monologue from AMid-summer Night’s Dream).
And it makes it a joy forhim to go to work every dayalongside his wife, Suzanne,who’s the coordinator ofthe theatre and music de-partment for Arts Umbrel-la, and to bring the work oftheir students to the stage.
“These are the actors oftomorrow,” he says. “It’svery exciting to watch wherethey start off.”
You can catch the work ofArts Umbrella’s students attheWaterfrontTheatre fromMay 11 to 22. See sidebarfor full schedule.

Valerie Malla remembersher mom as having a realthirst for life.
She was a homemak-er – the kind of person wholoved to cook, do arts andcrafts and constantly be inthe company of family andfriends.
“Our neighbours wouldcome over and have teaall the time,” Malla said ofMindy, who passed away ofa heart condition at the ageof 32 when her daughterwas just eight years old.
Growing up, Mindy’spassing was rarely discusseddue to the hurt it caused.Mementos and keepsakeswere stashed away, includ-ing a piece of art Mindy hadmade – a design of sequinson a piece of satin.
“I wanted to keep it safe.I didn’t want anything tohappen to it because it wasmy one thing of her, it waslike a piece of her,” recalledMalla.
For years, she couldn’tbear to celebrate Mother’sDay.
“I just felt really aloneand isolated on that par-ticular day, even more soon Christmas,” she told theNOW.
In 2013, something “justclicked” for the SFU stu-dent. She realized eventhough her mother wasgone, she could still honourher memory.
“I thought, I do have amother, everybody has amother. She’s just not alivein the sense we on Earth de-termine people to be alive.”
That year, she organizeda Mother’s Day brunch foranyone who had lost theirmaternal parent or had anestranged relationship withthem.
And she’s doing it again– on May 8, Malla is host-ing a brunch atVancouver’sSeasons in the Park.
After connecting withB.C. Bereavement, theLower Mainland Grief Re-covery Society and local li-braries, she said her phonehas been ringing off thehook.
“I’m getting so manycalls. I thought maybe sixpeople, but I may have to
do it in two events.They re-ally think it’s a wonderfulidea, which just tells me theneed.”
Today, death is not a top-ic Malla shies away from.It’s something very natu-ral that society needs to em-
brace, she said, and there’sa great need for communitysupport.
Her brunch should beseen as one of those pillarsof support, Malla added.
“It’s not so much aboutthe mothers as it is about
the person that is partici-pating.We all have a moth-er, we all have a relation-ship, and when that getssevered, it creates a loss.Wecan’t just ignore that,” sheexplained.
Anyone interested in at-
tending the brunch is askedto call 778-318-1894 to re-serve a seat. Bookings willbe taken up until May 6.
Attendees are asked tobring a photo and/or storyabout their mom to share.

The Heights Neighbour-hood Association is organiz-ing the annual Jane’sWalk,
but this year’s event focuseson the flora and fauna of theTrans CanadaTrail.
“Some of the creaturescome up and visit in ourneighbourhood.We mightwas well learn more aboutthem – raccoons, skunksand coyotes,” said the asso-ciation’s Margi Manifold.
VeronicaWahl, fromDouglas College’s Institute
of Urban Ecology, will leadthe walk.The popular trailhugs the shores of the Bur-rard Inlet and passes the oldCrabtown site, where squat-ters of decades past builtwooden shacks on the beachto house their families.

Are you not hearing clearly whena group of people are talking?Many people find that they are nolonger able to understand everythingbeing said, particularly when in thecompany of others. Engineered inSwitzerland, the Audéo V hearingaid has been designed specifically tounderstandspeech ingroupsituations.
The majority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackgroundnoise they are able to hearthat something is being spoken, butcan no longer discern precisely whatis being said. The words seem blurredand indistinct. But why is that? Theeffect tends to manifest itself in groupsituations, especially in restaurants. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived at theentrance to the cochlea that determinewhenyouhear things accurately. In themajority of cases theseparts of the innerear are the first to be affected by noiseor aging.As the high-pitched tones areno longer perceived well, the auditorycentre of the brain begins to struggle todecode language. It’s a bit like an imagethat doesn’t have enough pixels.
Developed by Swiss audiologists theAudéo V hearing aid is designed toimprove speech comprehension innoise, particularly with hearing loss inthe high-frequency range. People cantrial thenewAudéoVsystembyPhonaksimply by calling now to do so. Duringyour FREE hearing test, our HearingCare Professionals will determine howspeechcomprehensioncanbe improvedin various situations and what role thetechnology called “AutosenseOS”plays.This technology can recognize wherethe person being spoken to is locatedand can amplify only his or her voice,
while ambientnoise is reduced.Thanksto several synchronous microphones,the hearing aid can detect sound inall directions and select the directionthat speech is coming from withinmilliseconds, seamlessly adjusting tothe listening situation.According to Swiss researchers,this can significantly improvespeech comprehension, especially inconversation for the right candidates.Interested people can register for a freehearing test and trial of the Audéo Vby calling 1.888.408.7377

Life as it should be
ServingBurnabyHeights
It’s a busy time at Pure 5Wellness Hub in the Heights.The alternative medical
clinic on Gilmore Avenue hada soft launch in February, buta couple months later, thingsare ramping up around theofice.This week, the salt halo-
therapy room will be com-plete, adding another servicefor clients of the growingbusiness.“We created this well-
ness centre for people tobe empowered and becomeeducated,” said Keith Tong,the co-owner of Pure 5 Well-ness Hub. “A place where theycould come and ind solutionsand ask questions.”Tong and his wife Helen
owned a successful pharmacyfor nine years just next doorto their current location at 318Gilmore Ave., but decided tosell the business and start anew venture.Helen explained their expe-
rience found that people wereusing pills and pharmaceu-ticals as a bandage for theirailments but not addressingthe root cause.The couple explained there
are two typical types of cli-ents; one that will come in andknow what they want already,but others who will havesymptoms and need help.They see the ofice as a
“hub” for people to come inand heal.“I think we deserve it in
Burnaby,” Helen said, notingshe hears from patients whohave to drive to places likeNorth Vancouver and Kitsi-lano to get the same services.
She also pointed out thecentre focuses on pain man-agement.Pure 5 Wellness Hub offers
a variety of services includ-ing naturopathic doctors,acupuncturists, registeredmassage therapists, relaxationmassage, pulse electro mag-netic frequency therapy andsalt halotherapy. Salt therapyuses salt particles made withdry aerosol to treat respiratory
and skin ailments. The therapyis the irst to be offered inBurnaby. There is already await-list to use the salt room.The business has also made
a move into a growing medici-nal industry, teaming up withMedicinal Cannabis ResourceCentre Inc. (MCRCI).MCRCI president and CEO
Terry Roycroft said the re-source centre isn’t a medicinalmarijuana dispensary, but
rather it assists people withserious medical conditions toqualify for an authorizationto possess the drug throughCanada’s Marihuana for Medi-cal Purpose regulations.The centre helps by arrang-
ing a consultation with a phy-sician with a federal licenseand providing consultationand instruction on all aspectsof medicinal cannabis.“We thought cannabis was
an ideal alternative,” Roy-croft said of the partnershipbetween the two companies.“They’ve (patients) tried thetraditional medicine, they’vebeen on pharmaceuticals,they’re having adverse effectsto those sort of things, thenthey want to come in and lookfor the alternative.”In the end, the two busi-
nesses want the centre to bea place where people feel
relaxed and focus on beinghealthy.“There will be a lot of
information being issuedout of this, hopefully it willresonate with the people wholive around here and they takeadvantage of some of the op-tions here,” Roycroft said.For more information about
the business, go to www.pure5wellness.com.

Two Burnaby mathteachers have earned rec-ognition for their outstand-ing mentorship of studentsthis year.
Burnaby South’s AmosLee and Burnaby Cen-tral’s Maria Nicolidakisare this year’s winners ofthe McEwen FamilyTeach-er Recognition Award fromUBC and SFU respective-ly. Lee’s nomination camefrom UBC engineering stu-dent and South grad KeanaLi and was supported by sixother students once taughtby Lee.
Nicolidakis was nominat-ed by SFU statistics studentand Central grad NikolaSurjanovic and was sup-port by three other formerstudents. Designed to shinea spotlight on teachers whohelp students from all back-grounds find their gifts, theaward comes with a payofffor both students and teach-ers.
Burnaby South andBurnaby Central will get$5,000 each for enrichmentactivities and each schoolwill get a $5,000 scholar-ship – for a current Southstudent to attend UBC En-gineering and a currentCentral student to attendSFU Science. Li and Sur-janovic, meanwhile, will get$250 each in recognition oftheir nominations. Moscropmath teacher MarkVancewas recognized as a finalistfor the UBC award.
AUTISMAWARENESSGilmore Community
School students put theirbest foot forward for Autism
Awareness Month this year,raising $1,700 for the Ca-nucks Autism Network.
Students raised the fundsby walking in a walkathon,selling paper Canucks Au-tism Network jerseys andselling tickets for a movienight.
“Our students learneda lot about autism and wewanted to give back to aworthwhile cause,” Gilmoreteacher Debbie Siu said. “Iam also a mom with a childwith autism and I really ap-preciate CAN for what theydo for kids with autism, soI feel very passionate aboutraising money and bring-ing awareness and educat-ing others.”
HOOPS FOR INCLUSIONAbout 50 students and
staff gathered in the EcoleAlpha Secondary gym lastweek to shoot freethrows inthe name of inclusion.
Hooping It Up is a bas-ketball free-throw compe-tition and awareness eventdesigned by Best Buddies
Canada, a national charitythat helps to foster friend-ships between individualswith special needs and stu-dent volunteers.
For a $2 entry fee, stu-dents with special needs andtheir mainstream peers at-tempt to sink as many free-throws as possible in one-minute. Raising $80, theAlpha event was more a so-cial than a financial success.
“Everyone thoroughly en-joyed themselves,” AlphaAccess teacher Krista Kellsaid. “The purpose of theevent is to facilitate oppor-tunities for social interac-tions between neuro-typicalstudents and students withspecial needs.”

Chilledcarrot, gingersoupperfect forspring
This soup is so refresh-ing, it’s simple to make andnutritious. I think the sweet-
ness of the carrots and pine-apple work really well to-gether, and the heat fromthe ginger and curry pow-der are mellowed out by thecreaminess of the coconut.I also like to add fresh cilan-tro or basil when I blend the
soup as these flavours en-hance the fresh flavours ofthe soup. Sometimes I adddiced fresh pineapple as agarnish for the soup andserve it in a glass for nicepresentation.

The spotlight forTaekwondo is goingto shine brightly in Burnaby this No-vember, as the city welcomes athletesfrom across the globe for theWorldJuniorTaekwondo championships.
It was a jewel the city set out to ac-quire -- and now that they have it, arepulling out all the stops to ensure it’ssuccess.
“This is going to bring in peoplefrom around the world, who are goingto be welcomed and provided a greatexperience by the city of Burnaby,” saidTony Kook, who sits on the organizingcommittee.
TheWorldTaekwondo Federation’sjunior championships will bring morethan 800 teenage athletes from approx-imately 110 countries to Burnaby’s BillCopeland Sports Centre Nov. 16 to 20,each with a goal of delivering their beston the biggest stage.
Accompanying them will be an es-timated 500 coaches, chaperones andteam support members, as well as thesport’s highest officials from the cornersof the globe.
Song Chul Kim and Kook, who op-erate their own taekwondo academiesand are well-versed in the machinationsof the sport through executive positions,feel the competition will be a huge winfor both the sport and the city.
“It’s really about creating a positiveexperience for everyone involved, and that’sour main focus,” noted Kook.
For Kim, who is an international-lev-el referee and worked the 2012 LondonOlympics, getting theWorlds to Burnaby in-volved a lot of planning and brave steps.
“What you are looking for as hosts is tobuild a legacy for the sport,” said Kim, own-er/operator of SC KimTaekwondo. “If wehost a great event and a friendly event (thesport) will grow. It’s good for the city, tae-kwondo and everyone involved.”
Kim and Kook are just a few of the pointpeople leading the planning and promo-tion for the event. As whenever a communi-ty takes on a huge responsibility like a majorinternational sporting event, the end resultis dependent upon the people who step inand volunteer their time.
Tourism Burnaby executive director Nan-cy Small was at the forefront of the chargefrom the beginning.
Small approached Kim, who is the vice-chair ofWTF referees and president of
WTF of B.C., with the idea to apply to hosta major event.
“She asked me if (Burnaby) could pos-sibly host a Pan American (taekwondo)Games or a big international competition,and I thought ‘Why not?,’” said Kim.
“Last August we (Small, Burnaby citycouncillor Paul McDonell and Kim) wenttoWTF headquarters in Korea to talkabout it… In reality, theWorld juniors aremuch bigger than the Pan Am Games be-cause there are 206 nations that are mem-bers ofWTF.”
The diversity of the community and its
people, along with great facilities to put onbig-ticket cultural and sports events, hadSmall seeking out opportunities whereBurnaby could shine.
“When we had our meeting with the(WTF) in Korea, we got to understandwhat opportunities and events there were,”said Small in an email.
“They knew immediately we were thereal deal and that we were very interested inattracting events of this calibre to Burnaby.”
Canada last hosted a world taekwondochampionship in 1999 in Edmonton.
Earlier this year, WTF officials endorsedBurnaby’s application and that put the or-ganization committee’s volunteer base intooverdrive. But the wheels were already wellin motion.
“Our goal for this event is to make thisthe bestWorld juniors ever,” noted Kook,who serves as second vice-president ofTae-kwondo Canada. “We want them to experi-ence what Burnaby has to offer and wheth-er they win a medal or not, leave feeling thatBurnaby and Canada is a wonderful place.”

Reaching for itFor Emily Kim, 15, the ideaof competingat theWorld Junior Taekwondo champi-onships is a bigmotivator. Thedaughterof S.C. Kim,whooperates aMetrotowntaekwondoacademy, Kimwrote of herdesire to compete inNovember andhowthe sport has affectedher:“Myvision is to inspire. Itmay soundcheesy, but I really believe thatmanypeople underestimate the art and cul-ture that exists in taekwondo. Peopleoftenhave themisunderstanding thattaekwondo is all about fighting, but inreality that’s only theoutside viewof thesport. Iwantmorepeople tounderstandwhat taekwondo really is about. Furtheron, itwouldbeanhonour to representCanada in this year’sWorld Junior cham-pionships hosted in the city of Burnaby.Itwill require a lot of timeanddedica-tion, but I amwilling to takeon the chal-lenge andmake thebest out of it.”

Lakers’dazzlingrallyovershadowsseason-opening [email protected]
All moral victories aren’t creat-ed equally.
The one the Burnaby ju-nior Lakers achieved on Sundayshould be filed away among thebetter kind.
Kicking off the 2016 B.C. Ju-nior A Lacrosse League season,the Lakers put in a herculean ral-ly against one of the circuit’s mostoffensive powerhouses, forcing
overtime before getting bumped13-12 in a 70-minute contest atthe Copeland Sports Complex.
The Delta Islanders scoredthree times in the 10-minute extrasession, sandwiched around a pairof Burnaby tallies, to improve to2-0 on the year.
The Lakers, meanwhile, dem-onstrated immense character inshaking off a rough beginning thatsaw them fall behind by six goalswith just 25 minutes to play.
“The turning point for us was,
we were playing really bad but wewere still in the game and that’swhat we really hung on to,” saidveteran forward Danny Spagnu-olo. “We really tried to take thatnext step and come together,that’s what it was.”
Down 9-3 with minutes left inthe middle frame didn’t dissuadethe Lakers. After closing with-in five goals, things really took offwhen Burnaby scored back-to-back powerplay goals in the third,part of a five-goal run for the club.
Spagnuolo, with five, andWy-att Pinder, with a hat trick, led theattack.
In overtime, Pinder roundedout the hat trick and put Burnabyin front, butTre LeClaire tied it.The Islanders netted two more tostake out a bigger lead, with Spag-nuolo making it a one-goal gamewith 24 seconds left.
After a hectic first period wherehe surrendered six goals on 23shots, netminderThomas Hankinswas a major standout for the club,
facing 65 in 70 minutes. Rook-ie Jordan Gabriele scored twice,while CodyTracey picked up fiveassists and Kyle Heiling addedfour of his own.
Delta’s Leclaire, expected to bea front-runner for the league scor-ing title again, netted five goalsand two assists, while Evan Mes-senger contributed thee goals.
Burnaby hosts Nanaimo on Sat-urday, 3:30 p.m. On Sunday theytake onVictoria, 5 p.m. at the Co-peland Sports Complex.

As a new player in the Colonial Athletic As-sociation, the Burnaby Lakers’ Josh Byrne faceda learning curve after a two-year stint at NassauCommunity College.
With the regular season done, it’s evident thatthe 6-foot-3 made the adjustment smoothly.
As a member of the Hofstra University Pride,Byrne put up top-three scoring numbers near-ly the whole season, finishing second overall inpoints-per game at 3.14.
Only three times was the sniper held off thescoresheet, with each of them being a loss. He reg-istered one five-goal game and a pair of four-goalefforts.
In the team’s final game before playoffs, Hofstrafell 8-7 to first placeTowson to finish third overallwith a 9-5 record. Byrne tallied a pair and set upanother to extend his personal points streak to 13games.
It gives the 21-year-old 30 goals and 14 assistsover 14 games, including the third-best goals-pergame average at 2.14.
Byrne, a NewWestminster native who was se-lected first overall by Burnaby in theWestern La-crosse Association 2016 junior draft, recorded 68shots on goal, and converted on .654 per cent ofthem.
Hofstra now moves on to the CCA champion-ships, hosted byTowson, this week.
Nine local hockey players gotthe chance to put their skillson display at BC Hockey’s un-der-15 provincial tournament.
