TVs and streams don’t mix By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A flat screen TV, a table, two sets of skis, assorted plastic objects, a bucket of concrete and a snowboard. Those were just some of the items volunteers removed from the upper reaches of a salmon bearing stream last weekend, and that’s an improvement over past years. “The more public education we do the less we have to rectify.There’s less cleanup to do, because people are getting the message,” said Ulryke Weissgerber, a supervisor of tenant programs and services with the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation. The annual Eagle Creek cleanup event has been going strong for four years. In all,Weissgerber estimated 50 people came out. The Eagle Creek Streamkeepers, the Greystone Village Tenants Association and the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation orga-

lead to salmon habitat. The Eagle Creek Streamkeepers, the 13th Southwest Scouts club, Rotaract,

and the Croatian Fish and Game Club all sent representatives to help with the event, and volunteers from

the tenants’ association pitched in. Businesses from the nearby mall helped with food and donations.

There was children’s entertainment, with balloon art, and a ukulele club played for the volunteers.

Fire destroys depot – reopens here Mattress recycling operation is a ‘vital piece’ of Metro Vancouver’s ZeroWaste Initiative By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A mattress-recycling company has reopened in Burnaby after a fire ripped through its south Vancouver depot last week, leaving 45 employees out of work. Fabio Scaldaferri, owner of Mattress Recycling, had closed up shop at 5 p.m. on May 27, only to receive a call 90 minutes

later that a blaze had erupted. “I couldn’t even fathom what was happening there,” he told the NOW. “Just seeing it engulfed in flames was really hard for so many reasons. It had taken us so long to get to that point, where we had a great location and a standalone building in Vancouver.” The Strathcona resident also recently invested $35,000 into the depot, upgrading to

a more energy-efficient lighting system. Roughly 24 hours after the fire, Carlton Ee, the vice president of Burnaby-based company Rolls Right Trucking, contacted Scaldaferri, to let him know of a couple of warehouses to which he could relocate his business. “I was just so happy to hear from him,” the 31-year-old entrepreneur said. In the end, Scaldaferri decided to lease 11,000 square feet of space at the former Safeway distribution centre in the Edmonds neighbourhood, which is managed by Rolls Right Trucking. Doors opened Monday,

June 1, just four days after the fire broke out. Getting the business up and running again was very important for Scaldaferri, who added the depot is a “vital piece” of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Initiative. His company has processed and recycled over 350,000 mattresses since 2008. “That translates into big volume, big jobs and major resource recovery because we recycle 90 per cent of each mattress and only the remaining 10 per cent goes to the landfill,” he noted.

Saleema Noon Occupation SEX EDUCATOR Why is she in the news?

As a furor subsides over inappropriate sex-education materials accidentally handed out to 13-year-olds at a Chilliwack alternate middle school last month, kids at Burnaby’s Marlborough Elementary School are getting ready to learn about the birds and bees next week. Their teacher, veteran sex-educator Saleema Noon – who was not in any way involved in the Chilliwack incident – has provided workshops to kindergarten to Grade 7 students in Burnaby for 20 years. Her company, Saleema Noon Sexual Health Educators, provides both sex education and empowerment daycamps for boys and girls. The NOW caught up with Noon before her Marlborough workshops to get her thoughts on the Chilliwack debacle, sex ed in Burnaby, parents who don’t think it’s OK to be gay and more. – Cornelia Naylor TEAM WORK Members of the Saleema Noon Sexual Health Educators team teach sex ed in Burnaby and run empowerment workshops for boys and girls. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

How does a person get into this line of work? (Laughs) That’s a good question because there aren’t many of us.There are a few different routes to get into the work of teaching sexual health. Meg Hickling, who did what I do for 30 years across B.C., was a nurse, so that’s what led her to focus on education in schools. Me personally, I did a master’s degree in family studies, with a specialization in sexual health education. My senior educator has a doctorate in sociology, and she teaches both at the university level and elementary and high schools. So, we all come with different experiences and different educational backgrounds. Was this what you wanted to be when you grew up? (Laughs) No, I wanted to be a backup dancer for Madonna or a teacher.When I was at UBC doing my undergrad and then my master’s degree, I was assigned to be a teaching assistant for a human sexuality course at the third-year level and was quite shocked at how little information these young adults had about their bodies.That’s what really got me interested in the field of sexual education specifically.

Why does the district bring you in? Are teachers not equipped to do this kind of work? Well, that’s a tough one. Our curriculum right now, it’s called Health and Career Education. Sexual health education within that is mandated for all students K to 10 in B.C. But what actually happens in the classroom is hit and miss because, for the most part, although many teachers feel super comfortable and do a great job executing the curriculum, the majority of teachers don’t feel prepared; they may not feel comfortable; they’re not given good resources, and generally

The majority of teachers don’t feel prepared. they’re not supported by the ministry to do a good job. Do they get education for this in university? Typically, within teacher education, the sexual health portion of it, if anything, comes in form of a guest speaker or one class devoted to teaching sexual health at the most. But, again, it really varies. What work do you do in Burnaby? I teach at the majority of Burnaby schools. And, at

every school in every district I work in, I’m usually hired by the PAC (Parent Advisory Council) to come in and do an information session for parents first of all and then go back in and work with the kids, usually during the school day. You’re a stepmom to two teenage girls. Is it easier to talk to your own kids or to kids at school? No, it’s easier to teach other people’s kids for sure; although, obviously, my work has made it easy to talk to my own. One thing I have learned over the years is, you know, I feel for parents because it is such an incredibly personal thing to talk about. What was the hardest thing for you to broach with them? With my own kids? Questions around readiness for sex, I think.When I’m teaching with my own kids, I really want to be as sex positive as possible. I’ve wanted my kids from day one to know that sex is a great thing in most circumstances. At the same time, I know that sex is a very emotional and intimate experience, and I want it to be a really positive experience, and if it happens too early or with the wrong person, there’s a risk that it’s not going to be a positive thing. So, I find it hard to really create that balance between celebrating sex and sexual-

ity and encouraging them to wait for the right time in their life.

ents aren’t OK with that, I invite them to opt out and respect their choice.

be their needs were radically different from the average 13- to 14-year-old group.

As you know, there is a group of parents in Burnaby that opposed the district’s sexual orientation and gender identity policy. Do you ever hear from them when you talk to the PACs? No. Compared to when I first started teaching, I have to say, that whenever I walk into a parent group, I expect the huge majority of parents to be totally supportive of what I do.They’re grateful to have me there; they’re happy to have me work with them to give their kids positive messages about sexuality.

What do you think about what happened in Chilliwack? To be honest, it’s difficult for me to comment because I don’t know enough about the context in which the cards were used. Of course, a skilled educator will give information and use language that engages the audience and that can dif-

But even in that case, would you just throw them into a bag without them being asked of you? No, absolutely not … From what I understand, it was a mistake.

You must run into parents who just have differing and opposing views? It is so few parents who outwardly will say, ‘I don’t want you teaching my kids about being gay.’When they do, it’s like, ‘So, are you going to teach my son that it’s OK that he’s gay or are you going to promote that lifestyle?’ And, yes, at that point there’s a certain point where we agree to disagree because I’m coming from a place of inclusivity and celebration of differences and knowing that our sexual orientation is not something we decide. It’s a part of who we are, a small part of who we are, and we need to teach kids that. And, if par-

fer.What’s appropriate and helpful for one audience of 13-year-olds might not be the case for another. Did you see the content of the cards? I did, and would I use them in my class? No, I wouldn’t use them. But, again, it’s hard for me to comment because I don’t know who the audience were.They were kids in an alternative school, so may-

Is there anything that sex educators can learn from this? It is important, if outside educators are coming in, that everyone’s on board and the information given fits the needs of the group. Could this be some comfort to parents who may think there’s no limit to what their kids might learn from you folks? I hope parents will feel confident using this as an opportunity to talk to their kids. I hope people were watching the news when we were discussing the whole situation and that parents can say, ‘Hey, what do you guys talk about as teens?’ and ‘Do you have any questions about slang words that are used?’ and ‘How would you feel if that happened in your class?Would you find that information helpful?’ It’s, at very least, a good conversation starter.What we don’t need to do is worry about kids losing their innocence and being scarred forever.That simply isn’t the case.

Up in flames: Firefighters battle a massive blaze at a mattress recycling centre in south Vancouver on May 27. Smoke from the fire could be seen from all around the Lower Mainland. The company has since set up shop in a temporary location in Burnaby. PHOTO MARK VAN MANEN, PNG

Mattress recycling centre sets up shop in Burnaby Continued from page 1 The private company’s 45 employees, meanwhile, have really banded together since the tragedy, Scaldaferri said. “One guy donated a full day of work even though he worked eight hours; another guy, John, donated $100.” To help replace the equipment that wasn’t covered by insurance, a FundAid account has been set up. Nearly $9,000 has been raised so far. “I can’t believe how supportive people have been.

I can’t believe how supportive people have been. It’s the sort of thing that I didn’t ever think could happen,” Scaldaferri told the NOW. What did survive the flames were some 300,000 honey bees located on the

roof – a “passion project” for the recycling team.The bees will be returned to Hives for Humanity, a nonprofit organization. Mattress Recycling’s new temporary home is located at 7185 11th Ave. For the time being, it’s open only to commercial customers, but plans to resume residential services are underway. To donate to the FundAid campaign, visit www. fundaid.ca/fire2forklift. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

Bail hearing postponed

The bail hearing for the fourth suspect accused in the death of Luka Gordic has been postponed until mid-June. Arvin Golic, 18, was in court in North Vancouver on May 28 for a bail hearing; however, the hearing was postponed until June 15. Until then, Golic will remain in custody.

He is being held for his alleged role in the stabbing death of Gordic in Whistler on the Victoria Day long weekend. Three other teenagers have also been charged for their part in the fatal incident. All three are 17 years old and cannot be named because they are minors. Two of the teens were re-

leased on bail after a hearing on May 20.The third was denied bail and remains in custody. All four accused have been charged with manslaughter for what investigators say was an altercation between two groups that turned deadly. –Cayley Dobie

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Grab a banana and go for a long walk There’s much good news nowadays where modern health issues are concerned. Stories abound about medical advancements – bionic replacement parts for pretty much every thing that can break down in the human body – but, generally speaking, humans are getting fatter and lazier. We’re spending more time in front of our computers and fiddling with our smartphones than we are in the great outdoors.

We’re often quick to get a gym membership – but we fall off the treadmill just as quickly. So we were overjoyed to see that a new health survey has found that Burnaby has lower levels of obesity, smoking and binge drinking when compared to other municipalities in the Fraser Health Region. Yes, comparisons are often deceptive, but we’ll take any news that’s positive where our health is con-

cerned. The survey (see full story on page 8) asked roughly 33,000 respondents from across Metro Vancouver questions about their healthy behaviours. Among Burnaby participants, 19 per cent reported a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or greater, eight per cent lower than the average. And, surprisingly, only nine per cent of those who responded said they smoke either daily or once in

awhile. Now, 15 per cent did say they binge drink at least once a month – which, depending on your views on alcohol consumption, can seem either really low or really high. And, not surprisingly, nobody eats enough fruits and veggies. Less than one in four respondents reported eating five or more servings of fruits or vegetables a day. What was really fascinating – although not a specific health kind of question –

was how many people felt “connected to their community” in Burnaby. According to the survey, 49 per cent of Burnaby participants felt they had a solid connection to their community. Perhaps it’s because Burnaby has a large immigrant population, or perhaps it’s because Burnaby, given its proximity to Vancouver, doesn’t have a strong self-identity.While some might see 49 per cent as a low number, we ac-

tually think that could be viewed as a positive. As with all surveys, looking at results without context and more analysis is really just a shot in the dark. But what we do know is that there’s always room for improvement. So, grab a banana and go for a long walk around Deer Lake. And don’t go to the pub afterwards. COMMENT ON THIS AT –

READERS’ VIEW

City hall is not powerless The sell-off and demolition of affordable rental apartments in Metrotown and resulting evictions have attracted media attention. Globe and Mail reporting on Burnaby’s “blistering” pace of development called council’s rubberstamp approval process for towers up to 70 storeys high a “developers’ dream.” Inaccuracies and omissions in local reporting give the impression that proper processes are being followed and that Mayor Corrigan and council lack jurisdiction. In particular, a recent NOW editorial baldly stated, “The city has no real jurisdiction over such things and can really only try to help those who have been evicted when their old apartment buildings are razed.” This is inaccurate. City hall is not powerless. It controls bylaws, plans and zoning. Burnaby council’s actions and “inactions” are actually the cause of this situation. Some examples: 1.Working against tenant interests by: (a) failing to pass “standards of maintenance” bylaws so city inspectors can prevent landlords from them letting their buildings deteriorate; (b) defining “affordable housing” that can be counted in exchange for higher density to include any “guaranteed rental units” – without regard for income thresholds or rental rates; (c) allowing demolition of longstanding Maywood rental buildings – which the Metrotown com-

munity plan says “should be protected.” 2. Working against their city’s own best interests by: (a) approving “supplemental” bonus density in December 2010 to allow the building of towers up to 70 storeys tall in the four town centres while avoiding and minimizing public consultation; (b) limiting the provision for written notice of public hearings on rezoning to owners and occupants of property within a paltry 30 metres of affected sites, even for tower mega-projects. 3. Worsening Burnaby’s democratic deficit by: (a) accepting donations from developers and building trades unions, and voting to advise the provincial government to reject any limits on election donations; (b) using a non-transparent process to pre-designate numerous sites for Comprehensive Development (CD) zoning, a prerequisite for “supersize” projects. Intelligent, “human-scale” development is promised in community plans. Instead, Mayor Corrigan and council avoid public consultation and wreak havoc on vulnerable people’s lives while funding their party with democracydemolishing donations from developers.

Kinder Morgan open to discussions with city, fire department

Should recall campaign be allowed at Hats Off Day?

Dear Editor There’s nothing more important than the safety of our neighbours and the communities where our Trans Mountain pipeline and terminals operate. Our storage terminal, located at the base of Burnaby Mountain, has been operating safely in the community for 60 years and has never had a fire incident. The latest reports commissioned by the City of Burnaby Fire Department and SFU are an expected part of the National Energy Board process, and we will be responding to this report and others in more detail throughout the regulatory review. However, it is important we address some issues reported in the media about our level of consultation and communication of our emergency response plans. Kinder Morgan’s emergency response plans have always been, and will continue to be, available to public safety agencies. Last October, as part of the National Energy Board’s review, Trans Mountain voluntarily filed its existing emergency management program (EMP) documents. Due to the public nature of this filing, it was necessary to redact some parts to protect privacy and security sensitive information that is not normally shared in this fashion. The EMP contains documents including emergency response plans and fire plans for each terminal. In response to the City of Burnaby’s public statements regarding Trans Mountain not sharing these plans, the un-redacted documents for our operations in Burnaby have always been available to the city, and the fire plans were formally provided to Burnaby in November. It is important when assessing potential consequences like those presented in the media over the last few weeks to include consideration of hazards, engineering controls, and mitigation strategies, which effect probability and ultimately, the risk of such events. We have filed our own risk assessment for our Burnaby terminal, which concludes that with proper tank design and management the risk of a fire is extremely low. As always, important conversations happen both inside and outside the regulatory process, and we would welcome a discussion with the City of Burnaby and SFU to better understand and address their concerns and questions.

Free speech protester can’t have it both ways on legislation Dear Editor Re: Protester’s case triggers new bill, Burnaby NOW, May 29. So, Alan Dutton and the NDP are in favour of free speech and protesting whilst at the same time want to take away a plaintiff’s right to a trial by jury. Rather ironic, I might add, our English common law neighbours in Washington state had their Supreme Court rule unanimously just Thursday that anti-SLAPP legislation is unconstitutional. The NDP lives for sound bites and headlines without regard to the merits of an issue, and Mr. Dutton appears to fallen into their trap. Bill Phelps, Burnaby

Ariel Camfield Pavic No. Totally inappropriate. Good for them for telling them it is not in the spirit of the day. They should be able to get a table but not canvass around. I am sick of people from the recall campaign knocking at my door! 4 times now!

Joanne Denton Curley Yes, why not? Freedom of democracy! axholme This seems hypocritical at best, that MLA Richard Lee is allowed inside to glad-hand while citizens exercising their democratic rights to express their views on his performance are denied entrance and told they should stay far far away. Is it one rule for government supporters and another for government critics? This is public space and should be open to all. DW Chang One rule for BC Liberal politicians, and another for citizens. Typical of this provincial government and their cronies. BC Mom This decision makes no sense. If it’s not political, then no political party should be allowed to set up. But, it’s obviously partisan, because they’re saying, “you can come but you can’t.” The association could at least be truthful. Andrew My one interaction with Richard Lee was on a hats off day years ago - he was handing out fortune cookies to the public. The fortune inside each cookie was identical, and just said ‘RICHARD LEE - LIBERAL MLA’ (Most of the kids reading their fortunes were confused..) If Richard is allowed to hand out self promoting fortune cookies, I dont see why a recall campaign should be banned. The campaign is geared towards the fact he refuses to represent the wishes of his constituents (especially in regards to Kinder Morgan). I dont see why if citizens are frustrated with this fact, they should be prevented from doing something about it on a public street. Richard T Lee The message in the last few years inside the cookies is “Richard T. Lee, M.L.A.”. The five conditions on Kinder Morgan were in my election platform two years ago and the voters are well aware of my position. I believe I represent my constituents well. Elector The collection of signatures for the HST issue did not see any interference from the Merchants rep. So, why now stop democracy at the grass roots in OUR community ?

City now HEALTH SURVEY

We’re not obese, but we don’t eat our veggies Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby has lower levels of obesity, smoking and binge drinking when compared to the Fraser Health Authority average, according to new research. A survey, titled My Health My Community, asked 33,000 respondents from across Metro Vancouver questions about their healthy behaviours – everything from how much time is spent on electronic devices to whether errands are run by foot or car. “It’ a snapshot,” said Dr. Lisa Mu, medical health officer with Fraser Health. “The important thing is to recognize that this is where we are now, and this provides us with some numbers. So if we were to look at this again, we could say how we improved in this area.” Among Burnaby participants, 19 per cent reported to be obese, eight per cent lower than the Fraser Health average. Nine per cent of those who answered the questionnaire, meanwhile, said they

smoke on a daily or occasional basis, while 15 per cent reported binge drinking (five or more drinks on one occasion for men, and four or more drinks on one occasion for women) at least once a month. There’s always room for improvement, Mu told the NOW, including managing

The important thing is to recognize that this is where we are now.

a healthy diet. Fewer than one in four respondents reported eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Fewer than half met the exercise recommendations (about 150 minutes of weekly physical activity), and around half reported being in front of a screen (cellphone,TV, etc.) for two hours or more every day.

One of the questions Mu said she’d like to explore further and pick apart relates to having a strong sense of community belonging. Results show only 49 per cent of Burnaby participants felt they had a solid connection to where they live. “There’s so many factors that feed into that. It’s one that I’d be interested in looking at with the municipality, with the community, to address,” she added. “There’s a very high immigrant population, and that probably influences some of the numbers we see.” This “granular data” collected at the municipal level, Mu said, will help with city planning. “This is a much more representative sample than a lot of the other data that is available.” To view the complete report – the largest regional health survey ever conducted in B.C. – visit www.my healthmycommunity.org.

Suspect sought Burnaby RCMP are investigating a domestic incident that took place on Monday evening. Officers were called to a home on 18th Avenue near Canada Way around 9:20 p.m. on June 1 following reports of threats made between a boyfriend and girlfriend, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis. “The suspect in the incident ran and eluded the police,” Buis said. Officers were called in to search the area but couldn’t

Young performer takes centre stage Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

A young Burnaby performer is in the spotlight once again – this time in the Arts Club Theatre production of Godspell. Aubrey Joy Maddock is featured as John the Baptist in the pop musical that traces the story of Jesus and the apostles. Regular readers may remember Aubrey from last spring, when the then-12year-old was featured as the orphan Kate in the Royal City Musical Theatre production of Annie, alongside her dad Steve as Oliver Warbucks. She’s back in a cast led by Jennifer Copping as Jesus and Andrew Cohen as Judas. “Godspell was never intended to be a story about religion; it was meant to be a story about community,” director Sara-Jeanne Hosie explains in a press release. “When I set out to cast this piece I did not have a specific gender, age or race in mind for any of these roles, particularly Jesus. From the moment Jennifer Copping walked into the room, there was an immediate feeling that we would follow her. Jesus as a woman breaks the mould, allowing us to tell a fresh story.” Godspell was composed by Stephen Schwartz (perhaps best known among to-

day’s Broadway fans as the composer of the 2003 hit Wicked) and includes such well-known tunes as Day by Day, LearnYour LessonsWell and Turn Back, O Man. It’s onstage at the Arts Club’s Granville Island Stage (1585 Johnston St.) from Thursday, June 18 to Saturday, Aug. 1. Shows are Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m.,Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets start at $29. Call 604-687-1644 or see www. artsclub.com. POTTERS UNITE Love pottery? The Burnaby Potters’ Guild is holding it summer market and exhibition on June 13 and 14. The show runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Capitol Hill Hall, 361 Howard St. This year’s theme is The Garden Party. “Let us help you find the perfect summer offerings for this sweetest of all seasons, lovingly handmade by our talented artists,” the group invites. Entry is free, and light refreshments will be available. You can find out more about the group at burnaby pottersguild.yolasite.com, or search for Burnaby Potters’ Guild on Facebook.

Urban gardens explored in new art exhibitions Burnaby’s urban gardens are in focus at three new offsite exhibitions by Burnaby Art Gallery. The art gallery is presenting the Growing Season exhibitions at the Burnaby Public Library’s Bob Prittie and McGill branches, as well as at Stride Studios at Burnaby Village Museum. All three feature the work of urban farmer and photographer Ward Teulon. Teulon, who was born and raised on a farm, studied agriculture and worked as a professional agrologist. He has been designing, building and maintaining food gardens since 2007. “Growing Season features the inventive structures of Burnaby’s urban gardens, their bountiful harvests and

their busy pollinators,” a press release says. “Join us in celebrating Burnaby’s locally grown vegetables, fruits and herbs at three different Burnaby locations.” At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch, at 6100 Willingdon Ave., visitors can check out the Summer’s Bounty exhibition. The exhibition runs June 8 to Aug. 9. At the McGill branch, at 4595 Albert St. in North Burnaby, it’s Close Up in the Garden, running June 9 to Aug. 10. At the Burnaby Village Museum’s Stride Studios, visitors can enjoy Bees and Berries, running June 18 to Sept. 2. A garden party and artist talk is set for Saturday, June 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. Running at Burnaby Village

Military skills turn into education credits

Honour House: Australian army veteran, Phil Rodukoff helps out by raking the leaves at Honour House. The temporary home for injured soldiers and first responders was where the concept for the BCIT Legion military skills conversion program originated.

BCIT starts new program for military veterans Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Canadian veterans and reservists may soon be able to turn their military experience into education credits through a program that began at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. The school is getting a funding boost of $830,000 to take the new national advanced placement and prior learning program across Canada. BCIT’s Legion military skills conversion program was developed after discussions with injured soldiers who were staying at Honour House in NewWestminster, according to KevinWainwright, who heads the program.

They were very keen to participate in this.

Honour House is a facility where members of the military and first responders, as well as their families, can stay while they receive medical treatment. “We were originally going to do a resume writing/job interview skills workshops, but then when we met with the soldiers and met with their commanding officers, we realized these guys had a lot more training than we were aware of,” he told the NOW. “So we said we could assess them and evaluate their training, and give them an opportunity for advanced placement in certain programs at BCIT.” The pilot was done through the business program about six years ago, Wainwright said, with a handful of reservists who went into the advanced diploma program and later finished business degrees. The program received

$250,000 over four years from its sponsor, the Royal Canadian Legion, B.C. and Yukon division. Thus far, about 380 reservists and veterans have gone through the program, according toWainwright. Some have gone back to school, while the program has connected others with recruitment firms that have special arrangements to help veterans. The program also helps veterans start their own businesses, he added. “Part of our funding actually allows us to give small amounts of seed capital to veterans who come to us with a business plan,” he said. Canada Company, a charitable group formed to help members of the military transition into civilian jobs, provided assistance in getting the national program off the ground through its military employment transition program, according toWainwright.The funding was secured through Employment and Social Development Canada. “Now that we are funded, we’re going to do what we call a comprehensive mapping process, mapping as many military skills to as many different programs at BCIT as possible,”Wainwright said. “Simultaneously, we are creating a linkage with other schools.” Post-secondary institutions ranging from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton all the way to Memorial University in St. John’s, N.L., are taking part, he added. “They were very keen to participate in this,” he said, adding the schools have similar programs to those offered at BCIT. “What we’re doing is essentially creating a giant transfer guide web portal that will link those schools together, so that if any one of the schools develops a pathway for a soldier,

it gets loaded into this network,” he said. “And then every other school that offers a similar program can benefit from the mapping, so they don’t have to basically reinvent the wheel. “This program is the first of its kind in North America,” he added.

Sport

It Will Not Disappoint BY DAVID CHAO

The appeal of Land Rover’s products is its tradition of offering the ability to “go anywhere” in luxury. The Range Rover Sport continues that trend while providing even more on-road reﬁnement. While many of its rivals look and feel largely the same, the Range Rover Sport carries an air of exclusivity and makes you feel special in or out of the vehicle. Its main competition comes from the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. 2015 sees the debut of the new high-performance SVR badge. The Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest, most powerful and most dynamically focused Land Rover ever produced.

Design

While the previous Range Rover Sport was accused of not being a “proper” Range Rover, the same criticism cannot be levied at this new model. The old Range Rover Sport was based on the significantly cheaper Land Rover Discovery. This new model however, shares the same all-aluminum architecture as the top-of-the-line Range Rover. As a result, the new Sport is 800 lbs lighter despite growing a bit bigger. Even though it has the same bones as its big brother, the Sport looks more like its smaller sibling, the Range Rover Evoque. Overall, it looks slick, yet rugged and easily identifiable as a Land Rover. Both the front and rear receive more contemporary styling that better aligns to its sport suffix. The blacked out pillars give it a sleek appearance and the spoiler topping the hatch hints at its potential. The interior boasts premium materials and a tasteful design. It is simple and elegant and designers did a good job of blending modern technology with old-world class.

The Range Rover Sport comes as well equipped as any car costing over $75,000. It can also be further tailored to perfectly suit your individual tastes. It looks as luxurious and as expensive as the Range Rover on the outside but it’s actually quite a bit cheaper.

Performance

As most would expect, the Range Rover Sport has a commanding view over the road and other motorists. Despite its bulk, rear and side visibility is good thanks to the large windows. The Range Rover Sport is very quiet, with very little wind or road noise entering the cabin. This makes it’s a truly relaxing cruiser. Further aiding in that regard is the standard air suspension, which soaks up road imperfections. The setup is a little ﬁrmer than the big Range Rover however the Sport always remains very composed. It also never loses that composure even when it’s offroading or facing tough weather. The standard 4-wheel drive includes a low-range gearbox and locked differential; these are controlled by Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system that allows the driver to choose the optimal power distribution for the given situation. It even comes with an Auto mode, which determines the ideal setting to help novice drivers drive “properly” in any condition. The V8 equipped models come with a torque-vectoring system that sends more power to the rear outside wheel when slippage is encountered. Ultimately though, it still can’t quite match the outright handling ability of the Porsche Cayenne. The Range Rover Sport is surprisingly agile around town. Despite its heft, steering is light and responsive. It’s this level of reﬁnement that sets Land Rover apart from the rest.

hp and will allow it to rocket to 100km/h in less than 5 seconds.

Environment

The cabins of Land Rovers are always luxurious and upscale, and the Sport’s interior is no exception. The standard panoramic roof creates an open and airy atmosphere. The Range Rover Sport comes with an impressive amount of standard equipment. All models come with leather upholstery, satellite navigation, rear view camera, and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity to name a few. Given its size, it’s not surprising that storage is plentiful too. The centre console is massive, as are the door bins and glove box. Rear seat passengers will appreciate the added legroom. Also, due to the Range Rover Sport’s width, it provides plenty of comfortable space when carrying three in the back - and thanks to the flat floor and sculpted centre console, the middle passenger won’t have to fight for foot space. If you need to carry more passengers, new this year is an optional 5 + 2 seating package. This adds a powered third row with 2 additional seats. However, it is barely big enough to accommodate a small child; entry and exit is awkward, and you lose the spare. While the Sport doesn’t have the handy split tailgate of the larger Range Rover, the power liftgate and flat cargo floor make loading and unloading items easy. The 27.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row is about as good as you can get in a sporty SUV. With the 60/40 split rear seats folded, it opens up a maximum 62.2 cubic feet of cargo volume. If there is a complaint about the Range Rover Sport’s interior, it would be its infotainment system. Unfortunately, it feels a bit old and awkward, and it has a low screen resolution and slow response times.

Features

The available engines are one V6 and two V8 models. Most Range Rover Sport’s here will be powered by a new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 engine. It has been lightened to improve performance and efﬁciency and produces 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.

Ranging in price from $75,490 to $124,990, the Range Rover Sport proves that brand luxury comes at a cost.

The next step in performance is a supercharged 5.0-litre V8. This engine creates 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque to haul the Range Rover Sport to 100km/h in just 5.3 seconds.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include memory seats, sliding panoramic roof, adaptive headlights, automatic high beams, 3-zone climate control, auto dimming interior mirror, surround camera system, and blind spot monitoring.

But, if that’s still not enough, check out the new SVR model. It’s tuned supercharged 5.0-litre V8 puts out 550

Standard equipment includes passive keyless entry, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, 2-zone climate control, heated windshield with heated washer jets, rain-sensing wipers, heated power exterior mirrors, xenon headlights, front and rear camera, parking aids, intelligent start/stop system, and an 8-inch touchscreen.

Fuel efﬁciency numbers (L/100km) for V6 models are 14.0 city, 10.5 highway and 12.4 combined. The standard V8 returns 16.6 city, 12.3 highway and 14.7 combined, whereas the tuned V8 sees 17.3 city, 12.2 highway and 15.0 combined.

Memorial fountain gets a facelift Justin Beddall

editorial@burnabynow.com

It’s becoming the fountain of its youth. An iconic granite memorial drinking fountain that has stood proudly in Burnaby for more than 90 years is getting a refresh. The Burnaby Civic Employees Union Memorial Fountain was created by stonemasonWilliamWilliamson as a tribute to municipal employees who were killed during the FirstWorld War. The fountain was officially unveiled by the Burnaby Civic Employees Union (now CUPE Local 23) in 1923 outside the old Burnaby municipal hall at Kingsway and Edmonds Street, according to the city publication Burnaby’s Heritage: An Inventory of Buildings and Structures. An inscription near the top of the monument pays homage to the civic employees that lost their lives during the war. Above it, there’s a carved Maple Leaf emblem. Discussing its heritage value, Burnaby’s Heritage

states: “It signifies an important connection with the early strength and prominence of the civic labour union in Burnaby, as this was a memorial erected by the union members themselves, rather than by the civic government. Many war

The site is an important cultural feature. memorials were constructed across Canada after the end of the FirstWorldWar, however, most are static, inviting passive contemplation.” The profile in Burnaby’s Heritage also notes that the granite structure is unique because of its multi-purpose functionality. “Its use as a drinking fountain invites active participation.The memorial also includes a stone drinking bowl for dogs at the bottom left of the memorial, further illustrating the daily functional use of the foun-

Get arty for summer Are you a parent looking for some summer fun for the kids? Burnaby Art Gallery can help. The gallery is once again offering week-long summer day camps for youngsters, with offerings for kids aged four and up. A variety of camps are of-

tain.” The fountain, which has a heritage designation from the city, was moved to the BurnabyVillage Museum in 1974, where it has been on display ever since. “The heritage value for this fountain also lies in its interpretive value within the BurnabyVillage Museum. The site is an important cultural feature for the interpretation of Burnaby’s heritage to the public.” Recognizing the importance of keeping the fountain in good working order from both a heritage and environmental point of view, Village staff have embarked on the restoration project that is both a heritage piece and source of free clean drinking water for visitors to the site. Ron Clarke, the head of operations, has been dealing with the filters, pipes, and drainage, while Liz Czerwinski, a conservator at the village, has been ensuring that the heritage features are being honoured.They hope to have the project completed by Canada Day.

Remembering: The civic employees’ memorial fountain at Burnaby Village Museum is being refurbished, hopefully in time for Canada Day.

Top tips: How to 6nd the perfect mortage helper property Jo Boxwell interviews Cam McLeod of Team Powerhouse Realty

ortgage helpers are a very a#rac!ve op!on for homebuyers who want to step up into a nicer property that they couldn’t otherwise a"ord, or are looking to take a big bite out of their monthly mortgage payments. How exactly do lenders gauge the added value of a home with a rental suite? Nathan Zurowski, with Verico Premium Mortgage Corpora!on, says, “Typically, 50 per cent of the rental income goes against your debt service ra!o, and the lender will want to see a tenancy agreement before closing.” Realtor Cam McLeod with Team Powerhouse Realty has a few sugges!ons for buyers looking for that perfect mortgage helper suite. Find the right space for the tenant you want As you search for a home, you’ll probably be focusing on the space that works just perfectly for you, but if you’re thinking of bringing in tenants, you need to Snd a suite that meets the needs of the kind of tenant you want to a#ract. “You should be looking for a home in a neighbourhood with a high demand for rentals that is close to the ameni!es they may rely on, such as public transit connec!ons, schools, shops and services,” McLeod says. He adds that proper!es located close to universi!es can make sense even if you don’t plan on ren!ng your suite to students. “It could make your property more a#rac!ve to future buyers who want to tap into a dependable rental market.” McLeod advises buyers to look at trends in the area before conver!ng a property to include a suite. “If you buy an execu!ve home in an upscale neighbourhood and put in a mortgage helper suite, you could Snd it harder to sell at the right price if most buyers in the area aren’t looking for that. There may be ways to work around this though, for example if you create a space that could also house a nanny or be used as an inlaw suite.”

Test out the noise transfer between your spaces, and look into the hot water system to make sure you don’t have to worry about running out of hot water. Ask a Realtor about your municipality’s approach to authorized and unauthorized suites. In most areas, you’ll see many more homes with unauthorized suites on the market than authorized ones – but again, the decision comes down to what you are comfortable with. The long-term advantage Ren!ng out a part of your home to tenants is a big decision, and some buyers may feel a li#le unsure about taking that step. Cam says one of the great things about owning a property with a suite is that you don’t have to rent it out, but if !mes get tough, you’ll have that revenue generator to fall back on. “There are many beneSts of owning this type of property, even if having tenants is not part of your shortterm plan.”

ther groups C, D or E. The second game will be contested by the Group C winner and the third-place team from one of the other three remaining groups with the Burnaby Girls as escorts on June 23. Both Jaiden, a Grade 3 Tweedsmuir Elementary student and Stephi, who attends Grade 2 at Armstrong Elementary, don’t believe they will be fazed one bit by all the buildup to the beautiful game’s crowning celebration. “Nope,” said Jaiden em-

phatically. “because I’ve been in front of lots of people for a long time – dancing, singing and during the May Day.” Stephi even plans to give her escort a bit of a pregame pep talk – “Score goals, have fun and try your best.” Stephi feels excited about the possibility of Canada winning the Cup on home turf, as well as being on television. In fact, her Burnaby Girls team is named Team Canada after this country’s

women’s team won the Olympic bronze medal in London, England in 2012. Jaiden doesn’t think she will be passing on any advice to her national team captain. “I’m usually shy,” she said. When prodded further on what she thinks might take place in her moment at B.C. Place, Jaiden is more certain. “People walking on the field with the soccer players and everyone is screaming, that’s it,” she said.

It’s back to the basics for the Burnaby Lakers following a dismal home opening 15-8 loss to the Langley Thunder. The senior A Lakers, playing their first game of the Western Lacrosse Association season on Tuesday, their new home game night, looked like they needed a lesson in basic passing and catching against the more polished offence of the Thunder. Langley’s first-round draft pick Anthony Malcom claimed a game star with his first WLA hat trick, including the game’s opening two goals, while Athan Iannucci posted a game-high eight points, including a hat trick of his own. Langley’s Patrick Saunders scored four times for the winners. Alex Turner also wore the hat for the visiting Thunder. Jason Jones was the best of the Burnaby bunch, tallying six points, including a pair of third-period goals. “We struggled with (passing and catching),” said Burnaby’s Neil Arbogast after the game. “We were not breaking out properly, which is usually a strength of our game.We need more of that. …There was not enough buzz in the arena.” The only humming noise at the Bill Copeland Sports Continued on page 32

Lianna Dall’Antonia led a strong showing by Burnaby Caprice at the recent Jean Peters provincial synchronized swim championships in Kamloops. Dall’Antonia took first place in the 13-15 girls’ duet with Caprice teammate Madison Michielin at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre last month. Dall’Antonia finished with a pair of individual bronze medals in the 16-18 figures and technical skills categories. She also shared a silver medal in the 13-15

team competition with Caprice swimmers Michielin, Sohelia Boscarino, Maddison Leroux-Pipe, Sam Volkamer and Sidney Shindle. Michielin placed sixth in the 13-15 figures, less than three points out of first place. Volkomer placed seventh in 13-15 group solo, 13th in figures and 14th in technical skills. Boscarino was eighth in 16-18 figures and 13th in technical skills. A second Caprice 13-15 team of Sehar Chandi, Danika Miles, Meghan Prenter, Kali Sherk, Jivan Toolsee, Alina Aref `Yeva and Shin-

dle was sixth overall. Chandi and Sherk placed 11th and 12th, respectively, in 13-15 solo competition. Sasha Nixon, who won a third-place medal in the 13-and-over novice figures, also shared in a team silver with Caprice swimmers Ella Cheah, Naomi Madokoro, Alexa Panusa, Julia Ramsey, Kate Seo, Lucia Sun and Shindle. Seo, Cheah and Ramsey finished sixth through eighth, respectively, in 13-and-over novice figures. Madokora and Panusa placed sixth and seventh, respectively, in 12-and-under novice figures.

The junior A Burnaby Lakers held New Westminster to single figures but still managed to drop their ninth consecutive B.C. Junior Lacrosse League game. The Lakers fell 8-3 to the Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday. Tyler Kirby tied the game 1-1 late in the first period. He also assisted on Jordan Lashar’s second of the sea-

son midway through the middle period that lifted the Lakers to within a goal of New West at 3-2. But Carter Dickson sparked a 4-0 New Westminster third period with his hat-trick goal in the early going and backed that up with his fourth of the game six minutes later. Earlier, Dickson tallied the game-winner on a second-period power play. Graham Husick, a recent pickup from the Salmon-

bellies in a one-for-one trade for fellow goalie Steven Mayervich, was among the busiest of all the Lakers, kicking out 53 shots on goal for a sparkling 0.869 save percentage. Tyler Landry made 26 saves in goal for the junior ’Bellies. Next up for Burnaby are the 3-6-1 Port Coquitlam Saints at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Langley led 4-1 after the first period and upped that advantage to 10-3 late in the middle frame before Burnaby began to find the target on Brodie MacDonald. Joe Bell stopped 33 Thunder shots on

goal in the Burnaby cage. “We capitalized early tonight,” said Malcom, the game’s first star. “We like to break it down to three periods and I think we won all three periods.” Burnaby has a week off before hosting Nanaimo for the first time at the Copeland centre on Tuesday, June 9.
