A story of nature in the city New mural finds home at Deer Lake There’s a special beauty to nature that exists within an urban setting. That beauty is being explored in a new mural at the Burnaby Arts Council gallery at Deer Lake. The mural by Mila Karavai, Interlacing, was unveiled at the inaugural Summer Art Festival hosted by the arts council last weekend. The mural’s central character is a sleeping deer, representing the wildlife that used to inhabit the land and making reference to the city’s central urban park, Deer Lake Park. “While giant, brawny, strong, graceful animal is asleep, many colourful lines that symbolize presence of a human and his rational-analytical mind, extend above the deer, forming architectural structures of Burnaby Lake area,” the artist explains on her website. “The mural is calling to remember how strong the connection between human and nature is, and how dependent they are of each other.” See it at 6584 Deer Lake Ave.

Why was Burnaby resident shot?

More than a month after Hanif Jessa’s death, few details are available to give insight into the shooting Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

It’s been more than a month since a City of Vancouver worker was shot and killed outside his home in Burnaby, and the public is no closer to finding out the motive behind the violent attack. Around noon on July 17, Burnaby RCMP descended on a home in the 7900 block of Wickham Place, a cul-de-sac off Berkley Street near Canada Way. At the scene, officers found 53-year-old Hanif Jessa. He had been shot and was rushed to the hospital, where he died. Jessa was identified

as a Burnaby resident and the night superintendent of street cleaning for the City of Vancouver, and his death sparked the lockdown of several City of Vancouver buildings and works yards. At a press conference on July 18, Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, told reporters no one had been arrested and there were no suspects. Despite her statement, reporters pressed on, asking about suspect vehicles, descriptions and so on, but Ashton was adamant – there were no suspects. “We are treating this homicide investiga-

Newsnow NEWS IN BRIEF

Fire death was first in years

CITY ON THE RISE: A rezoning application for a third tower at the Brentwood Town Centre property is going to public hearing next

Tuesday. Above, a rendering of the central plaza at Brentwood mall shows the first two proposed towers. Work on those two towers is currently underway. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED, NOW FILES

Highrise up for public input Residents can have a say on 51-storey tower at Aug. 25 hearing Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

The next phase of the Brentwood Town Centre redevelopment is going to public hearing next week. Phase 3 is a 51-storey apartment tower above a four-storey commercial podium at the corner of Alpha Avenue and Lougheed Highway, according to a City of Burnaby staff report. The plan includes 526 stratified apartments, with underground parking.The design is meant to complement the first two towers approved for the redevelopment. “At Brentwood Boulevard, a gracious amenity lobby is proposed, complete with seating area, mail room, separate elevator banks, and concierge services,” the report stat-

ed. “Atop the commercial podium is an amenity level, complete with a 9,522-square-foot indoor amenity area with fitness facility, multi-purpose lounge and games room, business/study centre, music room, meeting rooms, and two guest suites.The outdoor amenity area includes an outdoor fitness area, outdoor seating, children’s play, barbecue area and extensive rooftop landscaping.” Shape plans to move ahead with Phase 2 of the project at the same time as Phase 3, and expects to finish it before Phase 3. However, as Phase 2 includes the new Brentwood Community Centre, further analysis is underway before a rezoning application is submitted for that portion of the development, according to a report from Lou

Pelletier, the city’s director of planning and building. The Brentwood master plan divided the 11.5-hectare site at 4515 and 4567 Lougheed Hwy. into four quadrants for development, with the first phase including the two residential towers currently under construction. The rezoning application for the second residential building, a 53-storey tower at the corner of Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue, went to public hearing last summer, with about 40 people in attendance.The application was approved last November. The project has been a source of controversy in the Brentwood community, with many residents opposed to the increase in traffic and density in the area. Residents along Brent-

lawn Drive have been especially vocal as the project has progressed.The majority of concerns have been regarding increased traffic and rat-runners through their neighbourhood. The master plan is divided into four phases and includes proposals for 10 residential towers.The design also includes a redeveloped commercial centre, a food store and a variety of public outdoor spaces. The public hearing takes place in council chambers at city hall on Tuesday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. For those who cannot attend, written submissions must be received at the city clerk’s office by 4:45 p.m. on the day of the public hearing. Burnaby council does not accept submissions regarding rezoning applications after public hearings.

Lougheed plans moving ahead Shape Properties working with city on a master plan for town centre Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Work on the proposed development plan for the Lougheed city centre is moving ahead. City staff are working with Shape Properties on

a master plan for the town centre. The plan will include public input given at a two open houses for the preliminary concepts and the draft concept plan, according to a city staff report. Shape is also applying to

have two portions of 9855 Austin Rd. rezoned for the new development, with guidance from city staff. The plan includes seven “character precincts” and five large public spaces, according to a recent city staff report.

The development is planned to include a total of 12.2 million square feet of residential floor space and 14.9 million square feet of retail, commercial, office and entertainment space.

The Burnaby Fire Department reported one death in its most recent quarterly report – the first fatality in several years. Firefighters were called to a home on 10th Avenue on April 29 after a fire broke out inside.There was only one person home at the time, and he was pulled from the blaze, but he didn’t survive, said deputy fire chief Chris Bowcock of the Burnaby Fire Department. The man’s death is the first death caused by a fire in recent years, according to the department’s quarterly report. Injuries, however, are more common. Seven citizen injuries were reported between January and March of this year. Bowcock couldn’t provide details on what the injuries were or at which fire they happened because the information presented in the quarterly reports is from a database that documents injuries and deaths, but not any specif-

ic details. “(The injuries) could be anything from just a burn or a little bit of smoke inhalation,” Bowcock added. Burnaby firefighters responded to 3,538 incidents during the second quarter of this year, between April and June, which is slightly higher than the same time last year.The number of incidents in the first quarter of 2015, however, were more consistent with the first quarter of 2014.This year, the fire department reported responding to 3,175 incidents between January and March, compared to 3,059 last year. The fire department is also now including the number of accumulative hours spent visiting offices and sites, and checking plans as part of fire prevention duties. So far this year, the department has conducted more than 1,780 office and site visits and checked more than 1,090 plans. – Cayley Dobie

Auto body shop open after fire A blaze at a local auto body shop could have been much worse had firefighters not responded so quickly, according to an assistant fire chief with the Burnaby Fire Department. Firefighters were called to False Creek Collision on Royal Oak between Grimmer and Lane streets at 4:16 a.m. on Sunday when flames erupted from a shed up against the main building.The fire engulfed much of the shed, pretty much destroying it, and was threatening the shop, but firefighters were able to get it under control before any major damage was caused, assistant fire chief Bryan Kirk told the NOW. “It looks like the fire was started on the outside of this little shed,” Kirk said. When firefighters arrived, flames could be seen coming from the side of the shed.They had to cut the lock to get into the yard before knocking the fire down, Kirk added. Twenty firefighters re-

sponded to the fire, and they were at the scene for about two hours, making sure all the hot spots were out and the building was safe.While the cause of the fire is still being investigated, firefighters did find remnants of a mattress and what appeared to be a pallet next to the shed, Kirk said. “I had (a fire) a couple of months ago, at a different auto body shop up in the same area there, same MO,” he added. But because there weren’t any witnesses at the scene, firefighters aren’t sure who set the fire or why. Kirk said he’s just glad there wasn’t any significant damage to False Creek Collision. “It could have been worse, that’s for sure, but the guys were quick to put the fire out, so, a happy ending,” he said. False Creek Collision was up and running Monday morning. – Cayley Dobie

HugABull pitbull event goes to the (other) dogs Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

There won’t be any pit bull pups at a pit bull rescue society fundraiser planned for this weekend in Burnaby. Organizers for the Planks for Paws fundraiser at Warner Loat Park have decided to leave the pit bulls at home after the Burnaby branch of the B.C. SPCA received a complaint about the event in advance. “We got a couple of emails from people saying there’s a woman in Burnaby who has a big problem with the breed of dog and is patrolling on her own time, is going around to parks and calling in every dog she feels is a pit bull and is either off leash or unmuzzled,” April Fahr, executive director of the HugABull Advocacy and Rescue Society, told the NOW, adding she was told the woman had written to animal control about the fundraiser. “Our plan, just to have a couple of foster dogs on leash come and meet the people, now has

had to become something very different.” The SPCA contacted the group and confirmed there was a complaint, and reminded them of Burnaby’s animal control bylaws, which categorize pit bulls as vicious dogs and state they must be on leash and muzzled when outside. “We’re obviously very aware of the bylaw, and we’re very careful when we host events in Burnaby, but you know, it just seems really unfair that someone with a personal vendetta is tak-

ing up animal control’s time and the city’s resources for something that’s not only pretty harmless, but a community event,” Fahr said. The fundraiser is primarily an event for humans, with yoga and fitness sessions by donation.The yoga session kicks off at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, and at 11 a.m., the foster pit bulls were going to be on hand. Instead, the organization is bringing other breeds of dogs to visit with its supporters, each dog standing in for an absent pit bull.

There was a similar fundraiser held at the park in 2014 without incident, Fahr said. “We had it last year, it was a huge success, she said. “And so Andrea (Gnys, a personal trainer who volunteers at fundraisers for rescue societies) wanted to do it again this year.” Ryan Voutilainen, branch manager of the Burnaby SPCA, confirmed the

branch received a complaint.The SPCA is contracted by the city to provide animal control services, and though the organization is against breed-specific bylaws, they do enforce the city’s bylaws as part of that contract. The Burnaby SPCA has been in touch with HugABull about the event, he said.

“In this case here, there’s another animal welfare organization that we actually work with at the Burnaby SPCA, so we don’t really anticipate any kind of issues in this case,” he added. “We know that HugABull is a very responsible organization.” For more information on the fundraiser, go to chimp. net/groups/planks-for-paws.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Hey, moms and dads, this is for you Pssst. Hey, you. Yes, you with the infant snuggled in the Tula wrap, texting on your iPhone while you sip your coffee at Starbucks. And you.Yes, you with the van load of kids and soccer gear, on your way out to the field for practice. And you.Yes, you with the longer-than-your-arm list of back-to-school shopping that hasn’t been done yet. I know, I know, you’re all

busy. But look up from your kids and pay attention for a second, because someone’s trying to get your attention. Four someones, in fact. If you haven’t met them before, their names are Stephen,Tom, Justin and Elizabeth. They’re all vying to lead their respective parties to victory in the next federal election, and they’ve all set their sights on you to help them get there. There’s Prime Minis-

ter Stephen Harper with his newly announced universal child care benefit, hoping to woo new families to the Conservative cause. There’s Tom Mulcair of the NDP with his national child-care plan and a pledge to provide $15-a-day child care for all. There’s Liberal leader Justin Trudeau with his proposal for more flexible, extended parental leave. And there’s the Green Party of Canada’s Eliza-

beth May with promises of universal child care and the creation of a national children’s commissioner. Clearly, all four of Canada’s main parties have decided that the 2015 federal election will be about families. Now it’s up to those families to decide which party’s vision will best support their needs – and the needs of the nation as a whole. So, please, all you busy parents out there, take some

time this election to do your homework. Look into the platforms of the parties.Talk to your local candidates and find out where they stand. Then tell your candidates, their parties and their leaders what you want and what you need. Tell them by attending all-candidates meetings and raising questions about family-related policies. Tell them by writing letters to the editor, by sharing information on social

media, by encouraging your family, friends and neighbours to get informed too. And most of all, tell them in the way that matters most: Get yourself to a polling station on Oct. 19 and cast a vote for the person and the party you believe will best look out for your family’s interests. Creating a bright future for Canadian families is too important a task to leave up to someone else.

MY VIEW DAVID WALL

Time to grow some sense about lawns It is interesting to note the myriad of media “lawn professionals” educating us about lawns. Few of the comments are accurate or have a scientific base. Lawns are of a tremendous benefit in our West Coast climate. Lawns cool your environment, estimated up to 10 tons of AC per city lot.This lawn will also supply enough oxygen for a family of four.

An intelligent look at water usage is paramount.

Grass traps dust and noise as well as acts as a water reservoir, purifying and slowly releasing water back into the aquifer. Rainwater on a dormant grass area will not allow water to soak in, therefore during a summer storm event rain water will be lost into the storm sewer. Your lawn prevents significant erosion, producing more than 400 to 600 pounds of organic matter per average city lot. Grass uses much less water than trees or shrubs. Yes, grass can go dormant, but if the lawn is still being trampled on, damage can be done to the “crown” or growing point of the grass. Grass such as turf-type tall fescue has a deeper crown or growth area,

which allows it to survive much better than most local commonly sold lawn seed at large box stores. Watering lawns is often stated to be a misuse of water. Lawns need no more than one soaking per week in order to remain active and also to “firescape” your home. Dry lawns and landscaping contain much fuel for a potential fire. In Metro Vancouver, it is interesting to note that artificial plastic fields that our kids play on are often as much as 50 degrees hotter than the ambient air temperature yet are still allowed to be irrigated during the Stage 3 water restrictions. During the recent Women’s World Cup games soccer games in Edmonton, field temperatures reached 55 C degrees with the air temperature at 25 C degrees. Comments heard from soccer players at the games included “It’s like walking on hot coals with your skin ripping and slowly cracking, constantly.” “I have plenty of blisters on my toes,” commented Alex Morgan, star on the U.S. soccer team. An intelligent look at water usage is paramount, not only during drought conditions. Often public perception does not reflect the actual truth of science.

What has Harper done to our country?

Does NEB process make you feel better about the pipeline?

Dear Editor Released almost a year ago, Harperism, by Burnaby author Donald Gutstein, provides a timely study of the fundamental nature of the changes to the Canadian political and social landscape that has been wrought by Stephen Harper since he was sworn in as Prime Minister in 2006. Citing the principle “economic freedom must come before political freedom” as central to Harper’s ideological imperative, Gutstein superbly describes the slow and often stealthy reshaping of Canada over the last 10 years. More than that, he documents the years leading up to Harper’s ascension to leader of the Conservative Party, and the pivotal role played by corporate-funded think tanks like the Fraser Institute in making it happen. For anyone who wants a better understanding of the disintegration of the kinder, gentler Canada that used to be, reading Harperism will fill in the blanks, and then some. But take heed. It sometimes can be a shocking, if not scary, read. Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

Business closure is a sad loss for Burnaby Dear Editor As a regular customer of International Sausage on Gilmore Street, I am saddened to hear the news of them closing down this September. About 40 employees are losing their livelihood due to the land being developed into a highrise. I am not privy to all the details, but they did lose a court case resulting in International Sausage unable to stay at the site. It is unfortunate development of property (which is usually too expensive for most to purchase) now takes precedence over longterm jobs. Greg Swannie, Vancouver

Let the national election ballot decide Dear Editor The B.C. public’s anti-pipeline stance and resultant delays may have been fortuitous. We’re now left with an opportunity to build a publicly acceptable pipeline system and gain the export revenues so vital to our sputtering economy! The two pipeline proposals (Enbridge, Kinder Morgan) resulted in much public concern about potential marine bitumen spills that could seriously impact our multibillion-dollar environmentally related tourist businesses. A simple, doable, common-sense plan would be to combine the two pipeline systems from Alberta to terminate at Port Simpson, which offers relatively wide open access to world markets and eliminates added bitumen traffic in Burrard Inlet, the Salish Sea and Douglas Channel. Energy East is proposing to transport about two million barrels of oil, through one existing and extended pipeline system to the east. Much of the oil to be refined in eastern refineries, creating many good-paying refinery jobs, so why do we need two pipelines, in B.C., to transport about half as much oil? We now know that First Nations must be part of the solution, and if called, they can play a significant part in helping to care for these pipelines as they traverse lands and waters that they care for, respect and love. Carl Shalansky, by email

bill smith But an NDP regime saying ‘NO’ to it is NOT a forgone conclusion. LouK What NDP regime would you be referring to? Or are you speculating about our upcoming federal election result? bill smith Federal... the ONLY way to stop the pipeline with certainty would be to have a Green regime... but it’s highly unlikely. LouK You’re most likely right. The Greens care about the environment and have somewhat conservative fiscal ideas. However voting for them is like throwing away your vote, as they’re never getting in as a regime or even in the riding of Seymour Burnaby North. Voting Green would only deprive the other three parties of a vote. As for the NDP policy on the pipeline, it seems that Mulcair is remaining coy on the subject. This could be to keep his chances of Alberta votes in play. As for Steve, well we know where he stands. Trudeau could change his mind ten times in the next 9 weeks. bill smith You’re also are most likely right.... however, Rome was not built in a day. A few years ago, elections were a Lib / Con choice and NDP was considered a waste.... I always support the Canucks even during years when winning the Stanley Cup is not even a remote possibility. I see for Burnaby, if the pipeline is one’s highest priority, the choices are Green, who are clearly against it or Conservative, who are clearly for it.... “Coy”-ness or indecision does nothing for me. ... on a side-note, I haven’t made any voting decisions yet, but the Green candidate has impressed me.. On paper, the NDP Candidate looked impressive, but after seeing and hearing her, sorry to say, I am not impressed....

Should smoking be banned in multifamily buildings? Bob Johnson If cooking, toilet, smoke, and other odors can freely recirculate throughout a building, so can fire. Inspectors should be brought in to correct the building code violations that allow this. The publicty of needing a smoking ban will hopefully bring this to their attention.

City now Pipeline project will be good for Canada: company Kinder Morgan files 440-page document urging National Energy Board to give the green light Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is the safest, most viable option for transporting crude to B.C.’s coast, and the project will bring billions to the Canada’s economy and government coffers – that’s the picture Kinder Morgan is painting in its final argument to the National Energy Board. The 440-page document, filed with the NEB Thursday, argues the project is in the public interest, which is the deciding factor for the board’s recommendation to approve or nix the project. “Trans Mountain submits that by building on its existing system, paralleling the existing right-of-way and implementing well known and proven mitigation, there are no environmental or so-

cial impacts that cannot be mitigated.That conclusion must be balanced with the material and certain economic benefits that will flow from increased market access, world prices for our resources, and the jobs and opportunities that accompany the development of this project,” the final argument reads. “In balancing those benefits and burdens,Trans Mountain respectfully submits that the board can arrive at only one conclusion – the project is in the public interest.” Kinder Morgan highlighted claims of an $18.2-billion increase in gross domestic product, $61 billion in profits for producers and $19.9 billion in taxes and revenues. “The scrutiny and rigour this project has undergone, both inside and outside of the formal process, is unprecedented. Our team

takes pride in the efforts made to consider input and present the very best scientific and technical evidence to both the public and the regulator,” said Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, in a media release. If approved, the $5.4-billion project would see the Trans Mountain pipeline system twinned, all the way from Alberta to Burnaby. Local elements include expanding theWestridge dock, where tankers fill up with crude, and the Burnaby Mountain tank farm. Besides the final argument, Kinder Morgan’s Aug. 20 filing also included comments on intervenors’ concerns and the 145 draft conditions the NEB recently released. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Mike and Shirley Wong

Occupation BLOGGERS Why are they in the news? Burnaby residents Mike and Shirley Wong decided to share their passion for Vancouver food and drinks with the world via their blog, www.vancouverbarista.com, this year. The popular blog, which initially centered on Mike’s love of a good cuppa, includes extensive reviews of coffee and tea shops, as well as local restaurants. But there is much more to the blog – a sense of camaraderie about the good things in life, conversations between a husband and wife, and a resounding love for the region the couple lives in.

The Wongs live in Burnaby Heights – Shirley grew up in the neighbourhood and has lived there for 25 years. Mike grew up in East Vancouver and moved to the neighbourhood once they were married. The pair travels around Vancouver, the region, and throughout the world, documenting their experiences and their love of fine food and tasty beverages. Mike and Shirley recently shared some of these experiences, and their passion for what they do, with the Burnaby NOW. – Janaya Fuller-Evans

make good coffee; and blogging about things we enjoy doing aroundVancouver. What inspired you to start theVancouver Barista blog? Shirley: Mike brought up the idea of wanting to write a small blog about coffee in December 2014. I asked if I could help. I studied journalism and have a background in writing, so those skills have really helped me. At first, we weren’t sure what the blog would look like. I came up with a few ideas and asked Mike to pick one. He loved Vancouver Barista and from there it all came together. Mike came up with our slogan, “For the love of coffee, food and all thingsVancouver.”We then came up with a three-part concept for what our blog would cover:Visiting a different Vancouver coffee shop every week; writing 101 posts that walk readers through how to

Who has more of a passion for coffee, Mike or Shirley? Mike: I do. I have a passion for not only drinking it, but learning as much as I can about the technical parts of it. Shirley: I’m not a coffee drinker since I can’t handle the caffeine. Readers tell me I represent the opinion of non-coffee drinkers. I’ve since discovered a lot of readers are like me in that they enjoy coffee alternatives like lattes and teas, which are beverages I review. Where does this passion come from? Mike: It was the first time I smelled coffee when I was a kid. My sisters made it for my parents and their friends, and I instantly loved the smell. Later in high school, I started to drink coffee.

FOR THE LOVE OF COFFEE Shirley and Mike Wong enjoy exploring cafés and restaurants throughout the region and beyond, and launched a blog sharing their reviews and stories earlier this year. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED Those years, I also enjoyed going out with my friends to coffee shops along Little Italy’s Commercial Drive, where people sayVancouver’s coffee scene started. You begin your blog posts with snippets of a lyric or a poem, from Madonna toVictorian poet George Meredith. Why? Shirley: We started our posts with famous quotations and now we’ve changed to musical lyrics. In both cases, they serve as an inspirational launching point, or a fixture to set the mood, for the rest of the post. It has been a big part of how we found our voice in this blog. It’s what personalizes us. I would describe theVancouver Barista voice as conversational. It sounds like Mike and I just talking to each other at home over the dinner table. How do you decide which coffee shops and

restaurants to visit and review? Shirley: I do a lot of research beforehand.We maintain a growing list. It’s huge and we keep adding to it; sometimes we drive by a café we never noticed before, hear about one on our Twitter feed, or our readers suggest one.

Our opinions are honest with no agenda Is the blog sponsored at all? Do you hope to make it a money-making venture? Shirley: We don’t make any money off the blog, at the moment. Coffee shops do not pay us to visit them and we don’t get paid to review products – and quite honestly we will never head in that direction where we can be bought. Our opin-

ions are honest with no agenda.We’ve had a few advertisers approach us, but we’re not anxious to get advertising on our site.We didn’t start this blog with the intention of making money and that philosophy hasn’t changed, but eventually we would like to look at the business opportunity and hopefully generate revenue from it. Mike sees this blog as a sort of online journal that keeps a record of all the places we’ve been.We feel lucky that readers are interested in following us to see where we go. I think our marriage has gotten stronger from this project as it’s something we are absolutely passionate about. What has been the best coffee or coffee drinking experience you’ve had thus far? Mike: Me and Shirley have had this debate many times. For me, it depends what I’m looking for that

day, in that moment. I enjoy visiting different neighbourhoods – from Marpole to Burnaby. Shirley: We’ve had so many great experiences that it’s like asking me to pick my favourite child. It’s impossible and unfair. My favourite part of this process is that we end up meeting so many great independent businesses – from cafés to roasters.This experience has changed me in that I’ve come to embrace local businesses and the importance of supporting them in our economy. I’m very proud thatVancouver has come such a long way, and continues to improve, in the international world of coffee. What makes a good cup of coffee? Mike: I would suggest people find out which region of coffee appeals to their taste (i.e. Ethiopian, Guatemalan, or a blend). The taste profiles vary so Continued on page 10

Bridge troubles have hit the 55+ B.C. Games Organizers of the 2015 55+ B.C. Games in North Vancouver are putting out an emergency call for Burnaby volunteers because of problems on the North Shore bridges. The Games, taking place between Aug. 25 and Aug. 29, are being hosted by the City of NorthVancouver,

with some events running in Burnaby andVancouver. Construction on the Lions Gate Bridge has diverted a snarl of traffic to the IronWorkers Memorial, leading to long delays, and games organizers say that has led to a shortage of NorthVan volunteers for the Burnaby events.

For the love of coffee Continued from page 9 much. After that, I would say, have freshly roasted coffee beans from a local roaster. For home brewing, I regularly buy my beans from a local roaster – every week is different. Why are you so passionate about food and coffee? Mike: I’ve always loved good food. Growing up, food and family were always talked about. I’m a curious guy, and we’re very lucky to live in such a multicultural environment inVancouver that allows me to explore and try so many different types of food, whether it’s Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern or European inspired. It gives me a greater appreciation and enjoyment, and if you’re going to eat why not eat well? Shirley: I’m passionate about food and coffee because I know it’s about the people and local businesses

behind that cup of coffee or that breakfast we’re eating. It represents a lot more than you can imagine. Describe your ideal sipping or dining experience – whether it be a favourite place, a favourite dish or simply a favourite memory. Shirley: We travel a lot and I love casual dinners in Paris’s petite bistros, sharing a tiny café table outside, hanging out with locals. Food tastes better outside, under an open sky and with someone you love. Mike: I love roast duck in a small restaurant on Rue Cler in Paris.The taste of the crispy skin, a bit of fat and duck meat is my favourite. It stems from my upbringing that my family would always eat roast duck at home and in Chinese restaurants. I enjoy hanging out where the locals are when we’re travelling, and it brings me inner peace.

GET OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND FOR SOME SERIOUS HIKING with the Burnaby Outdoors Club. The group of outdoor enthusiasts regularly organizes out-of-town daytrips and hikes. On Saturday, Aug. 22, they are heading to Al’s Habrich Ridge Trail in Squamish for an 11.6-kilometre hike, and on Sunday, they are going to the Chain Lakes Loop in the Mount Baker area. Membership in the group is $30 a year, and members carpool and hike together, so it’s a great way to meet new people, get some exercise and go on amazing hikes.The club also organizes several multi-day trips each year. For more information, go to www. burnabyoutdoor.com.

SOMETIMES THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOTHING, and if that’s what you’re interested in, we suggest heading down to Barnet Marine Park for a lazy afternoon on the beach. Better yet, pack a picnic, sunscreen, a blanket and a good book and you’re set to kill an entire day. This park tends to be less crowded than Vancouver’s beach hotspots, so it’s the perfect place to relax.The beach is very family friendly,

but head east around the small point if you want to join the younger crowd.

Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing

The nearby park has a picnic area, playground and washrooms. At press time, the forecast called for more sun on Saturday, but higher temperatures on Sunday, so anytime this weekend is perfect beach time.

THIS ONE’S FOR THE FILM BUFFS. In the age of Netflix andYoutube, you can watch movies without leaving your home, but some of the old classics, especially those from the Criterion Collection, are impossible to find online. That’s where the Burnaby Public Library comes in. They have a ton of films, and you can take them out for free.We recommend Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai or Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows or Jules and Jim, both French new wave classics. There’s also Alain Resnais’s Hiroshima Mon Amour and Mamma Roma by Pier Paolo Pasolini. If you prefer

more contemporary titles, we recommend Her, a brilliant artificial intelligence love story directed by Spike Jonze. The best thing is to head to the Metrotown Bob Prittie library branch, because it houses the largest collection, and just browse the shelves and pick some interesting titles. If you’re

into binge watching, they also have a large collection of popular TV series, like Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Borgen (a super popular Danish series), and there are tons of documentaries, too.This is the perfect way to wind down after your relaxing day at the beach doing nothing if you followed our previous

suggestion.

Stingray

Drive it and you’ll wonder why it doesn’t cost more BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Everything else now tastes like styrofoam. Seriously, one splash of ‘Vette hot sauce and even a tuner car starts feeling like the turbocharger fell off. This is GM’s flagship, the best thing they make (that isn’t a truck). For years it’s been a performance benchmark that many respected – even while complaining about the seats. Well, they’ve fixed the seats, and the entire interior. And everything else is better too. Even though this version of the General’s ballistic missile should be tame, equipped as it is with satellite navigation and an automatic transmission, it is not. It’s a beast, a fry-your neurons machine with a removable roof and a push-button starter. The Chevrolet Corvette is all-new. However, it’s still all old-school too – and that’s a good thing.

Design:

More angular than ever, Chevy’s design team took the curving cues of past Corvettes and basically threw them out the window. This new Stingray is all sharp cuts and pointy bits, an arrowhead chipped from obsidian. I think it looks great apart from the very front end: there’s something just a bit too frog-like about that straight-across grille. However, every other facet of this thing is a masterpiece, from the quad-exhaust trumpets out back to the historic-inspired side-badge to the vents in the hood that let out wavy heat in the cool air. This particular tester is spec’d as a something of a cruiser, fitted with staggered, split-spoke 19” and 20” alloys front and back, without having the Z51 performance package. If it were my ‘Vette, I’d be spending money on the go-fast stuff and leaving the shiny bits on the table. Still, even the most-basic Corvette looks the business.

Environment:

It feels like it was engineered by hot rodders and computer scientists alike, and when you poke it with a stick it wakes up in a hurry.

But then, they pretty much always did. The problem with the Corvette for the last several decades hasn’t been the looks or the performance, but the way the interior was always a bit of a let-down. Step inside and you could see where the costcutting came from. Here though, it’s as good inside as out. The seats are the biggest improvement, comfortable enough for a cruise to Bowling Green while bolstered enough for a quick autocross session. Add in swathes of leather, an instrument panel that doesn’t just look up-to-date but is actually ahead of the curve, and easy to use infotainment, and you’ve got a real winner. Looking around for things to complain about, a simple map-button to pull up the navigation would be nice, but really, the Corvette now has the interior quality and look to match its price. Sit in one, and you don’t even need to drive it to see why it’s a $60-90,000 car. Drive it though, and you’ll wonder why it doesn’t cost more.

Performance:

Did I say cruiser? I meant cruise missile. Dawdling along on the Sea-to-Sky behind your usual oblivious rental RV, a brief passing lane opened up. I judged the gap, figured it was big enough, walked on the accelerator. Under the Corvette’s long hood, a bomb went off. The all-aluminum 6.2L LT1 V8 in this car isn’t some high-strung, rev-needy turbine. It feels like it was built by the people who produced the B-17 Flying Fortress and Indy 500 winners and Bonneville Salt Flat racers.

For this year, the Corvette gets a new eight-speed automatic transmission with paddleshifters that’s the equal of that found in the Jaguar F-Type. But heck, you could hook that V8 up to a Conestoga wagon and it’d make the thing scoot. 455hp comes snarling out almost immediately, with a torque peak of 470lb-ft rocketing you forward. The nose lifts in pure old-school ‘Vette fashion, you dust off everyone in sight, and then you look down at the speedometer and apply the brakes quickly. Holy Dinah: it’s a ‘Vette all right. Throw the Stingray through a few corners or around a skidpad, and it’s equally wonderful, despite not having the catlike quickness available with the handling package. There are multiple modes for both traction control and driveline management, but you best be ginger on the throttle if you completely defeat the traction control. In the dry, it’ll spin the tires from a rest without hesitation. In the wet – well, just make sure your life insurance is up to date. And for all that madness, the new Stingray is something of a pussycat. It’ll make distance easily, is relatively quiet at speed (road noise splits the difference between the old 997 Porsche 911 and the new 991), and will even return liveable fuel economy on the highway. It’s wonderful, all the best of the old and the new combined together. Sell your kids and buy a Night Race Blue one with the stick-shift.

Features:

Chevy’s MyLink system anchors the infotainment for the Corvette, and is simple and easy to use, with nice big touchscreen buttons. It includes the Siri system to control compatible phones. Fuel economy figures for the automatic-equipped ‘Vette are set at 8.1L/100kms on the highway, and 14.6L/100kms in the city. If you’re driving it quickly on a lonely road, it’ll burn far more fuel, but will easily match the highway mileage on the way there.

Green Light:

Power!; great styling; comfortable seats and greatly improved fit and finish; all around performance

Stop Sign:

A handful in the wet; limited storage with targa roof off; seating position still a little high

The Checkered Flag:

A full modernized and updated take on the Corvette, all without losing the car’s rowdy soul.

MISSY

SPCA ID 375144

SPCA ID 372965

11 Year 6 Month old, Spayed Female, Persian, Mixed Breed Dear Missy’s life hasn’t been easy since her guardian passed away. She arrived incredibly matted and needed emergency grooming to relieve her from her distress. As you can imagine Missy was pretty upset and didn’t want anything to do with people. She was depressed and had issues trusting new humans. We had some of our all star volunteers start working with her daily and slowly...Missy started to show improvements. Missy today is still nervous of new people but has created lovely bonds with certain people. She loves to be pet gently and this lovely girl loves to play with her feathers. She will need an adult only home with no other pets. She is also a good candidate to foster first. Please inquire if you can provide Missy with the type of home she needs!

6 Year 2 Week old, Neutered Male, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed ‘Frici’ is seeking an indoor only, adult home that is on the quieter side. This handsome fellow is very friendly to his human companion, a wee bit reserved with strangers and quite fearful of very loud noises. He can be vocal, playful and quite independent. Rather than be picked up and/or petted, Frici is more of a sit beside you kinda guy. He isn’t fond of other cats but does enjoy the company of a dog.

MISS CAPTAIN

JUNE

SPCA ID 368934

1 Year 2 Month 3 Week old, Female, Australian Shepherd, Mixed Breed. June is an absolute love bug! It doesn’t take long for you to fall head-over-heals in love with her. Sadly this beauty arrived in rough shape at our Prince Rupert branch. She has since recovered and is doing wonderful. June is best as the only pet in the household as she likes to guard her resources, such as food. Her ideal guardian would be active, be home often and have plenty of time for cuddles. June loves to be fawned over, pet and pampered. She is really a very sweet & special lady. We aren’t sure how June would do around dogs as she is more interested in sniffing! June must be part hound dog as she has her noise to the ground when out walking, she won’t be a good candidate for off leash dog walking until a good recall is established. This girl is best suited to a home with older children as she can be fearful of certain new situations and loud noises. Come meet our June-bug! Animal ID 365906

1 Year 2 Month 3 Week old, Spayed Female, Labrador Retriever, Mixed Breed, Pit Bull Terrier Sue was transferred to our branch on our Drives for Lives program after she weaned her puppies. She is a lovely girl who is looking for an experienced guardian...

What you need to know: • Her foster parent said Sue was a great dog to be around, she was playful, fun and good with their five year old child • She needs slow introductions to new dogs and rewards for relaxed behaviour but has done great on all the group dog walks • Sue can be nervous of certain men or people who look down on her, she needs slow introductions when meeting new people • Knows some basic obedience • Potty trained and usually quiet when left alone but will still need to slowly adjust to being alone in her new environment. Come meet this adorable girl!

3 Month 1 Week old, Male, Mouse, Mixed Breed Rickster was brought to us after his previous guardian became overwhelmed with mice not knowing the pair of mice he was given were a male-female couple. Since being with us we have found that Rickster loves his aquarium with plenty of materials to burrow in. He loves to explore, dig & climb and keeps active. He is very social and loves to interact with his handlers. Of course, if Rickster doesn’t do it for you, he reminds you that there always other small animals in the branch looking for a home.

While survival for the pet dog is not as tricky or fickle as it would be for a wild wolf, man’s best friend is likely hardwired for the same level of social interaction and respect for their companions. It likely helps dogs remain social animals, because they tend to live with another very social

As a dog ages, it is helpful for the individual to go for walks and playtime as this would help keep the brain fresh and the joints active. Next time your dog brings you the leash or signals intent to go for a walk, it doesn’t only signify potty time! It is him telling you that it is time to freshen up the mind & body alike, while spending some quality time together.

The dog’s cousin, the wild wolves stay together in family groups and are also very social animals. They hunt large prey, because of their strong pack mentality, which also gives them the best chance of survival. This strategy requires that individuals within the group maintain peaceful social bonds with one another. This relies largely on non-confrontational communication and a high level of social selfawareness, with individual wolves having to coordinate, cooperate and compromise with one another in order to stay alive and well.

species the “dog-owner”. Socialization with other dogs as well as humans is a very strong factor in how healthy and sociable a puppy will be in the future. Going for puppy classes and interacting at the park with dogs having different personalities helps puppies learn to adapt to and be respectful to the personal space of others. Leash training helps them bond with their family while also allowing them to learn to respect the personal space of other humans. In my opinion, every dog should be socialized with humans and other pets alike.

Burnwood Dr

Dogs love having companionship even more so than some humans probably do! In the wild, the canine families hunt in packs and have a hierarchy system. The same is true for companion dogs, even though their social behavior may not be as well studied as in the case of some of the more wild animals.

SPCA ID 375523

8 Year 1 Week old, Spayed Female, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed Miss Captain is a three-legged beauty who is a bit misunderstood. At eight years old she was sadly surrendered when her guardian became to elderly to care for her, 99 to be exact! Miss Captain has been through a few homes in her life and is looking for stability. Miss Captain was a little shy when she arrived but soon showed us how sweet she is, although she isn’t fond of other cats. Her ideal home would be with a couple of adults and no other pets. Having three legs has never stopped Miss Captain from getting around! She has had some accidents in her previous home and will require a guardian willing to work with her. Miss Captain has successfully used her box since being in our care. She is a good candidate for foster to adopt. We think stress and an untidy litter box (yes scooping daily is needed) may have caused her to not use her box. We think Miss Captain deserves a chance. Come meet this lovely lady, you won’t be disappointed.

Lighting in pools, ponds and fountains is one way to add colour to a dark outdoor space, while helping to create just the right ambience for your property. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

In a nutshell • Outdoor wall lighting can add comfort and warmth. • Flat-top contemporary path lighting is a spin-off on traditional pathway lighting. • Strip lighting under seating or garden features can add more light to an outdoor space. • Why stick to one colour? You can install bold coloured lighting to change at the flick of a switch. • Illuminated globe yard lights are timeless and classic. • Garden lanterns are always a favourite and look great hanging in trees. • Outdoor chandeliers?

Bicycles for Humanity ships old, unwanted or, in this case, unclaimed bicy-

cles to developing nations around the world, where they become incredibly valued, according to Devin Montgomery, the Vancouver chapter’s president. “In Canada, if a bike is over 10 years old we don’t want it anymore, but (in a developing nation) it’s like a diamond ring,” Montgomery said. To its recipient, the donated bike becomes more than just a way to stay in shape, according to Bicycles for Humanity’s website.The bicycle allows its owner access to facilities and oppor-

tunities much further away than when they were walking. Access to schools, hospitals and employment beyond a person’s immediate vicinity become a possibility with a pair of pedals. The best part of the organization, according to Montgomery, is that there is little if any money involved. All of the staff are volunteers. “If I’m working for a nonprofit, I don’t really know where the money’s going, but Bikes for Humanity is

just a technology transfer. Nobody’s getting paid,” said Montgomery. The Vancouver chapter’s founder said that one of the most rewarding parts of working with this organization are the connections he gets to make between people who will never meet. Montgomery remembers one particular instance where an older couple brought in a bike for donation.The bike had belonged to their daughter who had passed away, and

because their daughter had spent time in Africa herself, the couple hoped that her bike could be sent to one of the communities she had worked in during her lifetime so that their daughter could continue to help that community. “I just thought, ‘Of course we’ll get it there,’” said Montgomery. Approximately 400 bikes are packed into a shipping container each time they are sent off.The organization’s eco-footprint is kept mini-

mal, as even the container can be stripped apart and turned into a bike-repair shop and a source of employment for the community.The containers also often come with the “flavour of the month,” or what is most needed in the targeted area. These items range from computers to textbooks and other school supplies. “It’s an organization purely based on giving opportunities at no charge.You can’t do a lot of evil with a bike,” Montgomery said.

Ex-Viking women’s Henley hero

Burnaby Mountain grad shares a win in under-19 men’s doubles at 133rd regatta Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Lake Rowing Club scullers came back as champions from the 133rd Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. Burnaby North Secondary grad Layla Balooch, who currently trains in Victoria with coach Barney Williams in the national development program, won both the under-23 and se-

“ Everybody noticed her. She was dominant.”

nior women’s singles at Canada’s national club championships in St. Catharines, Ont. last week. Club members Logan Bagneres and Burnaby Mountain grad Daniel Fraser-Maraun captured the u-19 men’s double sculls over a giant field of 77 crews. Balooch, who picked up an oar in Grade 11 while at North, was untouched in her six individual races at the annual Henley meet. The 20-year-old won her

opening heat in the senior women’s 2,000 metres in a competitive-best time of 7:46.98. She also topped her semifinal heat before winning the Lady Henley Trophy in the final by almost four seconds over Riverside club’s Molly Hamrick in a time of 7:52.65. In the u-23 2,000m later in the week, weather conditions worsened with strong headwinds, making race conditions more difficult and slowing down overall times. Balooch completely dominated the younger category, placing first in the women’s final by more than 20 seconds over Leander club’s D’Arcy Arends. “Everybody noticed her. She was dominant,” said Burnaby Lake club coach Cinda Ewton. Last year in the u-23 races at Henley, Balooch flipped her scull and failed to place. “She handled difficult conditions. It was impressive,” added Ewton. Fraser-Maraun, 17, and 18-year-old Bagneres have been honing their rowing skills on Burnaby Lake since the age of 14. Last year, the pair came back with silver medals in

the 2,000m, finishing out of first place by two seconds. This year, the boys won the Olympic distance race by a 0.63-second margin. “It’s pretty cool – born and bred,” said Ewton of the three Burnaby Lake champions. “I think it’s pretty special.” Lynn Hancock also had a runner-up finish in the championship women’s pair at Henley.

The Burnaby Lake club also had some success on the international circuit this summer. Vlad Timinsky placed seventh in the men’s lightweight quadruple sculls at the u-23 World Rowing Championships, while Stephanie Grauer finished sixth in the women’s fours at the Junior World Championships in Rio de Janeiro last week.

Burnaby Lake’s Lauren Wilkinson will be looking forward to the World Rowing Championships in France later this month. Canada’s senior women’s eights need a top-five finish at the worlds to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Also hoping to qualify is Brendan Hodge, who will compete in the lightweight men’s fours at the worlds.

B.C. had a disappointing finish at the Baseball Canada 21-and-under national championships last week. The two-time silver medallists were denied a third straight medal in the Regina, Sask. finals following a 12-4 upset loss to provincial runner-up Kamloops on Aug. 15. The provincial champs, including Burnaby infielders Taylor Lawrence,TylerYorko, Mitchell Jackman and catcher Josh Wray, helped B.C. to a 3-2 record. Jackman led B.C. at the nationals with a .500 batting average, including eight hits and four runs batted in. He also had seven putouts at first base. Wray batted .417 through the competition and had 23 putouts behind the plate for B.C. Yorko and Lawrence both had four hits and three RBI at the nationals.Yorko also had nine putouts and 12 assists at the short stop postition for B.C. B.C. also lost 3-1 to eventual finalist Ontario 1.

Clan men open exhibition season with a draw First-year SFU head coach likes depth and varsity team’s upside

Simon Fraser University drew 1-1 with University of Fraser Valley Cascades in a preseason varsity men’s exhibition soccer match on Tuesday. The Clan practised twice on Monday and again Tuesday morning before taking on the Cascades in an evening exhibition match. While it was the first opportunity for first-year Clan head coach Clint Schneider to see his team in action, he liked what he saw. “At times, we played well and we were unlucky not to

have more goals, and I liked how we managed the game and controlled the tempo at times,” said Schneider in a Clan press release. “I think it is clear that we have a lot of upside with this squad.” Simon Fraser fell behind in the 11th minute when UFV senior midfielder Kree Bryne blasted a shot past Clan keeper Brandon Watson on a quick counter attack. Later, the Clan tied the score at 1-1 in the 72nd minute when freshman

midfielder Dzenan Bezdrob came on as a second half substitution and split the defence to notch his first collegiate goal. “Individually, I liked how some of the first-year players stepped up and played much better than I could have imagined,” said Schneider. “I think we are a deep squad and now it is my job to manage the guys and their personalities to make sure I get the most out of them.We are big and athletic and we have some re-

ally special players, and now it’s a matter of putting it all together through the preseason.” Schneider replaced Alan Koch, now head coach of Whitecaps FC 2, the new USL PRO team of Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Schneider coached with Koch for all five seasons the Clan has competed in Division II NCAA. Schneider is just the fifth head coach in the history of the SFU men’s soccer program.

Sr. ’Bellies on the ropes

WLA Game 4 Friday at Queen’s Park Arena Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

All that is left for the New Westminster Salmonbellies is the handshake. The senior A Salmonbellies face an early exit from the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association final following a 15-9 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre on Wednesday. The defeat moved the league runner-up to within one game of elimination with Game 4 set for Queen’s Park Arena tonight (Friday). New West fell behind on an early power-play goal and trailed the home team 4-1 after 20 minutes. The Salmonbellies played it tighter in the next two periods but could not manage

to bring the deficit under two goals the rest of the way. Keegan Bal, who is having his best playoff run to date, led the ’Bellies with a five-point outing, including a hat trick, but to no avail. Dan Dawson topped all point-getters with six assists, while a new group of Victoria sharpshooters did their work in the offensive end for the ’Rocks. Daryl Veltman tallied four times in a five-point night, while Mitch Jones also scored three times for the winners, who now lead the series 3-0. New West junior Josh Byrne, who has contributed 15 playoff points this season, scored his third goal of the post season to open the third period and then, a minute later, set up Colton

Clark for a counter that brought the visitors to within a pair for the fourth time in the matchup. But Dan MacRae, with his second goal of the playoffs, tallied the game winner shortly after. Aaron Bold backstopped Victoria’s seventh straight win in the playoffs with a 32-save performance. Neither Eric Penney nor Alexis Buque could come up with enough stops to give the ’Bellies the opportunity they needed to steal their way back into the series. Jordan McBride also scored a pair of goals for New West. Game 4 of the final is at Queen’s Park, beginning at 7:45 p.m.

Burnaby NOW sports briefs Burnaby Minor lost 5-3 to the Ladysmith 49ers in the final of the provincial peewee A baseball championships in Surrey earlier this month. Ladysmith defeated Kamloops 9-1, while Burnaby got by Abbotsford 2-1 in the semifinals. EIGHTH STRAIGHT FOR U-18 CANUCKS Former Northwest Giants defenceman Dante Fabbro shared in Canada’s eighth consecutive gold medal at the annual Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup under-18 hockey championships in Breclav, Czech Republic, on Aug. 15. Canada outscored Sweden 7-3 in the championship game after getting by a stubborn Russian team 2-1 in a penalty shootout in the semifinals. Fabbro, who was one of just two junior A B.C. Hockey League players to make the Team Canada roster, was held pointless in the five-game competition.

The gold medal was Canada’s 11th at the international tournament since 2004. ON THE BLUE LINE FOR CANADA Burnaby’s Ivanna Bilic was named to Canada’s national development women’s hockey team for a three-game exhibition series against the United States. Canada lost the opening game 4-1 to the Americans in Lake Placid, NewYork, on Wednesday. Last season, the Bemidji State University senior defender led the nation with 147 blocked shots. Bilic also paced Bemidji State’s defensemen with 23 points, including five goals and posted three multi-point games. Bilic’s 23 points ranked seventh among the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s top-scoring defensemen and 15th among blueliners nationally. Bilic was a two-time WCHA defensive player of the week honoree and led the team with 18 assists.
