PROVINCIAL BUDGET
Critics say budget doesn’t go far enough Burnaby NDP MLA Raj Chouhan says lack of funds for a promised new hospital is a big disappointment By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The NDP MLA for Burnaby-Edmonds is calling the Liberals’ pre-election budget a “forget-everything budget.” Raj Chouhan made the comments shortly after B.C. Finance Minister Mike de
Jong gave his budget speech Tuesday afternoon. “I don’t think people will forget because they were hit hard when they were living paycheque to paycheque. Fifty-three per cent of British Columbians are living paycheque to paycheque,” said Chouhan. It’s the fifth consecutive

balanced budget delivered by the Liberals. One of the budget highlights is cutting MSP premiums in half for two million British Columbians with an annual net income of up to $120,000, starting Jan. 1, 2018.Yearly savings will equate to $900 a year for a family of four and $450 for
individuals.The hope is to eventually eliminate the premiums as it becomes affordable, according to de Jong. The Liberals also said they’ll cut the PST on electricity over the next two years, from seven per cent to 3.5 per cent, for small and medium-sized businesses.

Other investments include $287 million over the next three years for the Ministry of Children and Family Development and $2.7 billion for health-care capital projects, including new patient care towers at two hospitals in the Interior. Richard Lee, Liberal MLA for Burnaby North,
said a strong economy over the last two years has allowed the government to put money back into taxpayers’ pockets. “In terms of economic development and job creation, we are leading per capita in Canada, and we are the only province Continued on page 8

Newsnow POLICE GO PINK
Mounties lose game, but win new friends By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Burnaby Mounties were pretty in pink this week as they took on Burnaby Central students and staff in a friendly game of floor hockey ahead of Anti-Bullying Day Feb. 22. About 15 local officers took to the floor in the school’s gym Tuesday wearing pink shirts designed by TRUST (Teens Re-
solving Uncertain Situations Together), a student group that organizes Central’s annual Pink Shirt Day activities. “This was our first big RCMP event, which is really cool,” said Central teacher and TRUST staff sponsor Ryan McLean. “We love promoting connection with the police and with our school.” Rookie Burnaby RCMP Const. Riley Cullen approached
the school with the idea, McLean said, as part of a project officers are required to complete when they join the force. Cullen, who is from Mission, B.C., spoke briefly before the game on the importance of confronting bullying to prevent tragic deaths like those of Amanda Todd, Rehtaeh Parsons and Mission teen Dawn-Marie Wesley, all teenagers who ended their own lives after being bul-

lied. Team RCMP took on groups of Central students and staff, including students from the school’s Whitecaps soccer and Burnaby Winter Club hockey programs. Jordyn Huitema, of the girls Whitecaps program drew first blood. TRUST member David Chadima added a second and Nick Fussell of the boys Whitecaps program rounded out Cen-
tral’s scoring with another. The Mounties scored one. Anti-Bullying Day or Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 22 is an annual day of solidarity against bullying, founded in 2007 by a pair of Nova Scotia high school students after they witnessed a new student at their school being teased for wearing a pink shirt.

Driver dies in Lougheed crash
A 36-year-old Pitt Meadows man is dead after an early morning crash in Burnaby Wednesday. Burnaby RCMP were called to the 8300 block of Lougheed Highway near Production Way at about 4:30 a.m.Wednesday. A light grey Honda Civ-
ic travelling eastbound had veered off the highway and slammed into a pole on the south side of the roadway, leaving the vehicle’s lone occupant dead. “Speed was a contributing factor,” said RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar – Cornelia Naylor
Police issue warning after SFU sex assault Burnaby RCMP is warning the public after a woman was sexually assaulted on her way back to her car at SFU’s Burnaby Mountain campus Wednesday night. The woman was walking towards the parking lot at about 7:30 p.m. when she heard a noise behind her and was grabbed by a man. The suspect held and sexually assaulted her but quickly released her and ran away at the sound of voices from passersby in the area. The suspect is described
as a tall man with a medium to heavy build and a deep voice with no accent. He was wearing a grey, long-sleeved hoodie or shirt. “We want to caution the public when walking at night to stick to well-lit areas and stay off your electronic devices to increase your situational awareness,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis stated in a press release. Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922. – Cornelia Naylor

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Greens placing their bets on young voters Andrew Weaver’s bill may seem a tad self serving. The B.C. Green Party leader and MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head re-introduced the Election Amendment Act 1 in the legislature this week.The bill would allow 16-yearolds to vote in B.C. Chances are Weaver believes young people are more interested in the future of the planet than older folks are. And that those
same young voters will see his party as sharing those principles.This may be a big assumption, or not. It’s true that young people today are certainly exposed more to environmental issues.The media 20 years ago seldom mentioned climate change.Today, whether you get your news directly from mainstream sources or via Facebook, concerns about the planet’s environmental future are ever present.
Now, whether young people believe that politics can actually change things, is another matter altogether. And whether they won’t be as self-serving as older voters is another question. The number of young voters compared to older voters in every Canadian election is still much smaller. In the 2015 federal election, the participation of voters aged 18 to 24 was 57.1 per cent. Participation
of voters aged 25 to 34 was 57.4 per cent. But voters aged 65 to 74 continued to have the highest participation rate of all age groups, with 78.8 per cent. It would appear that unless more young voters get out to vote, politicians will continue to cater to the concerns of older voters. And those concerns are often about keeping the status quo – not changing it. But what is perhaps equally interesting is that more
younger voters turned out to vote than in the previous federal election in 2011. In fact voters aged 18 to 24 increased by 18.3 percentage points compared to 2011.That was the largest increase for this age group since Elections Canada began reporting demographic data on turnout in 2004. In comparison, the increase in voter participation for voters aged 65 to 74 was only 3.7 per cent. If the trend continues,
young voters could have a real impact on politics in Canada. But will they? Weaver is trying to boost those odds a bit by lowering the voting age in B.C. We doubt his bill has legs, but it may give us a little window into the future. And as far as tipping points go where demographics and voters are concerned, only time will truly tell.
MY VIEW PAUL KERSHAW
B.C. budget is just a fantasy
Secure a great job. Own a home. Keep more of our hard-earned money.That’s the promise of B.C., according to the premier and finance minister. Problem is, that promise is becoming a fairy tale, since B.C. is now the worst performing economy in Canada for younger generations. Retelling a tale in budget speeches doesn’t make it so, and is little better than the “alternate facts” popularized by the Trump White House. My UBC lab gathered the actual facts from Statistics Canada. Our lab isn’t running for office.We don’t care how people vote.We want people to be informed. Great jobs are harder to secure. Full-time earnings have fallen more in B.C. than any other province since 1976 to 1980. It’s particularly bad for residents aged 25 to 44 who annually earn $8,000 to $10,000 less (after inflation).Young residents have lost $1,200 since Premier Christy Clark took office. The new budget does little to change course. Home ownership is leaving many behind. B.C. has lost control of home prices more than any other province. It took five years of full-time work to save a 20 per cent down payment on an average home in 1976 to 1980. It took eight years when the B.C. Liberals came to power in 2001. Now it takes 19 years. The housing policy changes made in recent months
are “too little, too late,” and the budget doesn’t adapt urgently enough to bring home costs back in reach. Young residents can’t keep as much hard-earned money.We have to work years more to save a down payment; months more each year to pay the mortgage on an average priced home; or an extra month to pay rent on a three-bedroom apartment. Whether in Prince George, Kamloops, Kelowna,Victoria or all the ’burbs around Vancouver and beyond, hard work pays off less for young British Columbians than it used to. Data shows the problem is so bad in Metro Vancouver that for every year Ms. Clark has served as premier, young residents have fallen a year behind in terms of saving for a home.Tax cuts announced Tuesday in Clark’s pre-election budget can’t compensate, and interest-free loans for first-time homebuyers exacerbate the problem. The premier and finance minister will counter with evidence that B.C. has the best economic growth in the country, strong job creation and modest public debt. But what’s good about growth that compromises the standard of living for British Columbians in our 20s, 30s and 40s, along with our children? Why tolerate earnings that fall more for young people in B.C. than anywhere else, while home prices surge more than elsewhere? Continued on page 7

Happy ending for dog theft
In February, Anna Funaro bought a puppy from a man, only to find out the dog was stolen from the Pet Habitat store in Brentwood Town Centre. She purchased the pup, Benji, from an unknown man for a third of the store’s $1,300 asking price. After seeing a picture of the dog in the NOW, she realized he was stolen and returned Benji to owner Tom Peters. Peters, however, saw the puppy was in good hands and decided to let Funaro keep the puppy as long as she covered some of the costs.

Opinionnow GUEST COLUMN
Younger British Columbians aren’t faring well Continued from page 6 Sure, government likes rising home prices because the property transfer tax is a major source of additional revenue to grow health-care spending for an aging population – which again received the largest increase in government spending in the 2017 budget. Older residents also benefit directly from rising real estate prices, because the typical person age 55-plus has gained hundreds of thousands in wealth, while taking on little extra debt. By contrast, the provincial government’s approach to the economy imposes alarming amounts of personal debt on younger British Columbians compared to the national average. In addition to high home
costs, post-secondary tuition increased more in B.C. than in any other province since the B.C. Liberals took office, and child care now costs double university tuition. In terms of government debt, B.C. is better than some other provinces, but not as strong as it implies. Although debt is smaller by comparison with the size of our economy, each British Columbian shoulders more provincial debt today than when the B.C. NDP were last in office in 2001. All of these financial debt problems come on top of the environmental debt. While B.C. was a climate leader by introducing our carbon tax, Quebec, Ontario and P.E.I. all report lower greenhouse gas emissions
per person.There has been no reduction in B.C.’s carbon footprint since Premier Clark took office. So as people evaluate this week’s budget, it’s time to ask, “Growth for what?” Let’s judge the economic plan in terms of whether it requires more, or less, work from citizens to cover our major costs of living, and whether it is sustainable. On these terms, B.C. has failed its younger citizens. Failure will continue so long as government budgets are based more on fantasy than fact.

City now ‘They totally neglected Burnaby’ Continued from page 1 keeping a triple-A credit rating,” he said. “I think other provinces would like to do that, but they’re not in a position to do it.” The biggest disappointment for Chouhan was hearing of no funding for a new Burnaby hospital. “Our community needs a new hospital, but not a word.They totally neglected Burnaby in this budget,” he told the NOW. There wasn’t much in the budget to help seniors either, according to Chouhan. He pointed to the 91 per
cent of seniors care facilities in B.C. that are understaffed. “They (the Liberals) are sitting there, just smiling, and they don’t care about what people have gone through. People with disabilities, their bus passes were taken away. And now they want us to forget everything.They talk about surplus, but at what cost?” he asked. Chouhan added the preelection budget is a way for Christy Clark’s Liberals to buy votes. “They’re making these
They talk about surplus, but at what cost? promises, hoping that people will just be so naïve that they will just go for it. But people have seen the record of this government as such that they won’t fall for (it),” he said. Rick McGowan, Green candidate for Burnaby-Deer Lake, welcomed the cut in MSP premiums but said they’re still a “significant
burden.” “Someone making $42,000 per year pays the same premiums as someone making $120,000.There is no commitment or timeline for eliminating MSP premiums entirely,” he wrote to the NOW. McGowan, who’s been a strong advocate on the issue of “demovictions” in Metrotown, added the budget doesn’t provide relief for low-income renters, with rental assistance programs maintained at current levels. “(It’s) lipstick on a pig,” he said.
Budget at a glance Here are a few highlights from the newly announced B.C. budget:
prime plus 2.5 per cent to just prime, starting August 2017.
!Increasing the threshold of the first-time home buyer’s program from $475,000 to $500,000 (savings of up to $8,000 in property-transfer tax on the purchase of a first home).
!Creating up to 2,000 new child-care spaces.
!Reducing the corporate tax rate for small businesses from 2.5 per cent to 2 per cent. !Reducing the interest rate on student loans from
!Investing $740-million in education over three years, plus a $2-billion boost in school capital projects over three years – to build, replace, renovate and seismically upgrade schools. !$920 million to support the creation of more than 5,300 affordable housing units.

City now Controversial pet store is looking for new space Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The owner of a controversial pet store who has faced criticism over the years for selling puppies and kittens is on the move. Ernest Ang, who started the Pet Habitat chain nearly 40 years ago, told the NOW his shop is relocating to a temporary space within Metropolis at Metrotown because his lease is up on Feb. 28. Since the temporary location is a third of the size of his current store, Ang said he’s not able to bring in all the display cases that housed the animals, and he only has room to sell “the basic necessities” like pet products and fish. He added he’s unsure if he’ll sell animals once he
moves into a more permanent location. “It all depends. If the facilities are good enough, with proper ventilation. It has to be the ideal condition, otherwise I will not. I treat all of them like my own, so if I’m not comfortable, then no,” Ang said. Moving out of Burnaby and into neighbouring Vancouver is a possibility, he said, noting he’s “always looking for new locations.” Pet Habitat has faced heat for being one of the last remaining pet stores to sell puppies and kittens. Critics argue the business model supports puppy mills and that animals live in cramped quarters. But Ang has repeatedly said all his animals are well taken care of and come from legitimate breeders
out of the U.S. and South Korea. On many occasions, he has invited the NOW for a tour of his store and asks anyone who has any questions about his business to drop by. “You come to my store, you know it’s a social place. It’s fun. It’s educational,” he said. Last year, 23-year-old Jordyn Croft started a petition to ban the sale of puppies and kittens in the City of Burnaby. She collected more than 500 signatures and presented her case to council. “(The puppies) have no fresh air, they don’t have space for exercise, they’re lacking (human) contact and most of that is just people tapping on the glass

City now Controversial pet store moving Continued from page 9 they’re in,” Croft told councillors and staff at the time. Her efforts, however, didn’t materialize into anything. In 2013, the city amended its animal control bylaw, banning the sale of turtles but continued to allow the sale of puppies, kittens and sterilized rabbits. Croft recently met with Ang to ask him not to sell animals, and that if he chose
to do so, to make sure the new, permanent location is not in a mall and resembles more of a kennel. “The puppy had a doggy door that led to an outside backyard, fenced area,” she said of a kennel she worked at. “There was water out there.There were toys out there.They had a lot of blankets, heat lamps.” Croft added her two-hour sit-down with Ang went well
and the pair are currently drafting up an agreement. “He seemed to recognize that puppies sold in a pet store, especially in a mall, is kind of a thing of the past. He definitely seemed to agree more space is needed,” she said. “He seemed very open to what I had to say. “ she added.

A Burnaby business is hoping to cultivate some green thumbs with its second annual growing gardeners contest. Tried and True, a division of Meadowlands Horticultural Inc. based in Burnaby, is inviting schools to take part in a contest it hopes will get more kids interested in gardening. “We always found that gardening was such a great activity and there are countless studies done on the health benefits of gardening,” said Jenessa Tan, spokesperson for Tried and True. Tan herself started gardening about six years ago, when she was still in university. It’s a skill everyone should have, she said. “It’s definitely been a lifechanging experience; putting in that much work and getting so much in return, it’s just been great,” she added. Last year,Tan and her colleagues came up with Green thumbs: Students from Daniel Woodward Elementary in Richmond won a prize pack of starter plants from Burnaby-based horticultural business Tried and True in the company’s first annual growing gardeners contest. Schools have until March 17 to enter this year’s contest. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
a contest to promote gardening to the next generation.To win, students had to submit a poster or work of art illustrating the chosen theme. Last year’s theme was “what gardening means to us.”Ten schools entered and three won a prize pack, which includes edible and ornamental starter plants. This year, schools must put together a poster depicting what their fantasy dream garden would look like.The sky’s the limit,Tan said, in terms of what stu-

dents can submit. Up for grabs this year are five prize packs valued at $200 each to help the winning schools get their own garden up and running.The deadline to apply is March 17, and winners are expected to be announced around April 3. The Tried and True growing gardeners contest is open to all schools in the Lower Mainland. Go to www.tried-and-true.com/ contest for details.

Bulldogs collar BC berth; South, STM still alive
Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
What had been their biggest target heading into the 2016-17 senior boys 3-A basketball season is now accomplished, so the Byrne Creek Bulldogs are eager to turn their focus onto the next challenge. The Bulldogs locked up one of the three berths to the B.C.s and advanced to the Lower Mainland final on Wednesday with a
harrowing 69-62 victory over Lord Byng in Richmond. Getting 22 and 21 points, respectively, from senior Abdul Bangura and Grade 11 Martin Djunga, Byrne built up a formidable 45-20 halftime lead, outscoring Byng 19-9 in the second quarter. But the Vancouver school, who had spent most of the season among the top-ranked squads, put in a sizeable rally. “We came out obviously ready, but
(Byng) is a very good team, they have size that’s tough to deal with and they made a game of it,” remarked Bulldogs coach Bal Dhillon. “I didn’t expect anything less.” Majok Deng used his 6-foot-6 frame and was a force on defence, while Bithow Wan picked up 10 assists. The win earns them a spot at the March 8 to 11 provincial championships in Langley, ending a six-year drought, but they have another big test when they face Steveston-
London – who defeated St.Thomas More 80-76 in the other 3-A semifinal – in the Mainland final, tonight (Friday), 6:15 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval. “We haven’t faced (Steveston-London) this season, but they have good size, and they are another big team we have to deal with,” said Dhillon. “But it’s the final.The guys know what it’s all about and we’ll be ready.” Continued on page 25
Burnaby girls gaining steam
Local minor hockey program grows as girls embrace national winter sport
Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
The excitement is real. Six-year-old Isabelle had given a presentation to her class on the topic, and relaying it to a reporter once again brought out the joy she feels when she’s playing hockey. “It’s fun to play because hockey is a special sport,” she said. “It’s fun to score goals, and you can meet new friends.” Those are just some reasons why hockey is growing all around Canada among females, with Burnaby Minor Hockey Association’s Wildcats program experiencing a nice little boom. Now at 70 players and five teams, the Burnaby program is gaining traction and is eagerly inviting newcomers to lace up the skates and give the game a try. “We have grown substantially over the last three years, but Burnaby has had girls teams for some time,” remarked Echo Lee, BMHA’s female hockey coordinator. “In general, girls hockey is growing faster than any demographic.” But that isn’t anything new – as girls in hockey has been a mainstream story sinceY2K. With the creation of the IIHF world championships in 1990 and the addition of women’s hockey into the Winter Olympics in 1998, the popularity has expanded exponentially, with girls cheering on nations and finding role models to
emulate. Cities like Burnaby have developed and implemented accessibility requirements for their facilities, with ice times enabling more teams to play and practice. Kimi Chan, coach of Burnaby’s novice team, said these opportunities have enabled more girls to experience a sport that in the past had been considered mostly a male domain. “It’s not a boys’ game, or a girls game, it’s a Canadian game and everyone can play,” she said. “It’s wonderful just seeing the girls develop and having fun.” Although the boom in Burnaby trails the likes of North Vancouver or the Tri-Cities, Lee said the second annual Come Try Hockey-Esso Fun Day this Sunday (2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Kensington Park Puck battle: The Burnaby Wildcats’ Madison Yip, at left, and Sarah Warren battle a Langley rival for possession during recent girls bantam C Arena) can speed things action at Planet Ice.

Central’s Brinkac builds BC momentum with zone crown
Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Sara Brinkac enters this weekend’s provincial high school wrestling championship tournament in Salmon Arm with momentum and a title. As defending champ in the girls 60-kilogram division, the Burnaby Central Wildcat leads a strong contingent from the district, fresh off of winning the division title at
last week’s zone playdowns. Brinkac defeated the St.Thomas More Knights’ Gabriella Bellini in the final, with both advancing to the B.C.s in Salmon Arm. STM’s female team swept to another zone title, and finished one-point shy of New Westminster in the boys division. Among the medal winners for STM were Caileen Corbett, who won the girls 43kg crown, edging teammate Isabella Laing.The
Knights’ Clara Scaglione prevailed in 47kg, topping schoolmate Gabi Chavez. In 90+kg, Amanda Silveri picked up the title, and will look to equal or improve on last year’s silver at the provincials. Other silver medallists at the zone meet were STM’s Ayesha Mian in 40kg and Logan Stimson in 57kg.The Knights’ Juliana Casas, in 57kg, Charlotte Cho, in 43kg, Lily Philipp-Tajenar, in 54kg, and Faith Westman, in 90kg,
took bronze. On the boys side, Dylan Duggan,Tyler Eckert, Mathew Magano and Gino Ramos scored golds in their respective divisions. Duggan and Ramos represented Central well with wins in 48kg and 74kg divisions. Magano was uncontested in the boys 38kg division for Burnaby South. Last year’s cadet national bronze winner, Eckert topped the boys 90kg category for STM.
Also collecting medals were Central’s Jivan Basi (2nd, 66kg), Aidan LaBreche (3rd, 63kg), South’s George Brar (3rd, 84kg), and STM’s Daniel Alphonso (2nd, 57kg), Kristian Araiaga (3rd, 54kg), Aiden Field (2nd, 51kg), Joel Pielak (2nd 78kg), Noah Slotman (2nd, 54kg), Sam Steele (2nd, 84kg), and Jack Wagner (3rd, 74kg).

Sports now Steelers strike again in OT
Liam Cumberbirch potted a goal with one second remaining in the first overtime session to give the Grandview Steelers a 3-2 victory over the Richmond Sockeyes on Wednesday at the Burnaby Winter Club. The win gave the Steelers a 3-2 series lead, onewin away from advancing to the Pacific Junior B Hockey League semifinals. Cumberbirch’s tally, set up by Malcolm Huemmert, came as the inaugural, 10-minute extra session was
about to expire. In regulation time, Grandview twice held the lead.They opened the scoring just 2:38 into the contest when Huemmert tallied unassisted.The visiting Sockeyes tied the score late in the second period, netting just their second powerplay goal of the series. Restoring the Steelers’ lead three minutes into the third was veteran Adam Rota, with his fifth of the series, on a set-up from Jeffrey Wong and Ian Prevost.
But Richmond again replied with another extraman marker, this time when Jackson Munro tied the game with 12:36 left in regulation. In the extra session, Grandview applied plenty of pressure before Cumberbirch scored, firing 11 shots at the Sockeyes’ net. Game 6 was played yesterday (Thursday) after the NOW’s deadline. A seventh game will go Sunday, 4 p.m. at the BWC, if necessary.
Door ajar for Knights, Rebels
Continued from page 24 St.Thomas More found itself in a mustwin situation Thursday against McNair, after the NOW’s deadline, following the loss to Steveston-London. A win would get them into the third-place game (Friday, 2:45 p.m.) against the survivor of a Lord Byng-McMath matchup. The Burnaby South Rebels, meanwhile kept their drive alive for a provincial berth in 4-A boys basketball. The Rebels blasted Eric Hamber 111-57 to move into a must-win match with No. 7-ranked Killarney, played late Thursday (after the NOW’s deadline). C.J. Campbell fired a team-high 29 points
in South’s victory, including 16 in the second half. He also contributed six assists, three steals and four rebounds in a game the Rebels led 36-9 after 10 minutes. Kenan Krupic counted 23 points, seven assists and five steals. In the latest rankings by varsityletters.ca, South is among the honourable mentioned teams. The other third-place semifinal pits league rival New Westminster against No. 4-rated Kitsilano. The winners of each game will meet for what will be for third and final berth to the B.C.s.That game will be played Friday, 4:30 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
