THE PIPELINE
On the run for change By Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
A Forest Grove resident is organizing an anti-pipeline event with an athletic twist. Philippe Filiatreault is hosting the Burnaby Trans Mountain Run and Walk for Change, where local residents can gather to learn about the pipeline expansion and challenge themselves to a run. “This is really an opportunity for people to get together, go for a walk and show their unity,” Filiatreault told the NOW. “There’s a significant voice opposed to the pipeline project for a variety of reasons, whether it’s climate change or safety on Burnaby Mountain.” Filiatreault works as a digital media consultant and lives in the Pine Ridge Housing Co-op, close to the pipeline. The run will be on Sunday, Sept. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Forest Grove neighbourhood.The meet-
ON THE RUN: Forest Grove resident Philippe Filiatreault is organizing a community run against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER ing point will be at Cinnamon Drive and Ash Grove Crescent.The gathering starts at 2 p.m., followed by speakers at 2:30 p.m.The run (or walk) is from 3 to 4 p.m., and it’s a 3.4-kilometre stretch along the Trans Mountain trail, which trac-
es the pipeline’s path to the tank farm.The turnaround point will be at the base of Shellmont Avenue and Greystone Drive, at a tree, where participants can leave a message related to social change. Filiatreault has invit-
ed environmental groups - including BROKE, the Dogwood Initiative and the Great Climate Race to bring their own speakers and set up information booths. Forest Grove is on the south side of Burnaby
Mountain and consists of several housing co-ops and single family homes.The Kinder Morgan pipeline runs through the residential area, close to people’s homes and Forest Grove Elementary. “You could say it’s in my
backyard. I could throw my apple core out my backdoor and hit the pipeline trail,” Filiatreault said. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/pipeline run.
RCMP ‘making progress’ on assault cases
By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
Burnaby Mounties believe they are getting closer to finding the man responsible for a trio of sexual assaults at the beginning of the month.
The local force said it has received tips from the public since warning residents last week about the assaults in the Edmonds area. “We’re making progress on the case,” Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Derek
Thibodeau told the NOW, adding there hasn’t been any incidents since last week. Police are still asking anyone with information to call the local detachment. The first two alleged assaults, which were 20 min-
utes apart, were reported on Sept. 1.The women said they were walking along Mary Avenue and 16th Street when an unknown man approached them from behind and pulled their pants down to the ground.When the
women turned around, the suspect took off on foot. The description of the suspect was similar in both cases. The suspect was described as a mediumskinned man in his late teens to early 20s, stand-

Newsnow DISTRACTED DRIVERS BEWARE
RCMP crack down on cell phones By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
If you’ve passed the spotter in regular clothes up the road and you have your cellphone in your hand, it’s already too late. That’s what a number of Burnaby motorists found out the hard way last Thursday morning, as local RCMP along with ICBC and transit police launched a distracted driving enforcement and education campaign in the community. On this day, the cops were set up on Griffiths Way between Southpoint Drive and 14th Avenue in what’s considered District 3 in the city. And within minutes, police were busy pulling over people for distracted driving. Staff Sgt. Gerard Sokolowski, of Burnaby RCMP Traffic Services, noted the focus of the campaign is to make the streets safer and get people to stop using their phones behind the wheel. In June, the province increased the distracted driving fines to $368. Add on another $175 for four driver penalty points, and touching that cellphone will cost $543. In the three months since the fines went up, Burnaby Mounties have handed out 1,232 distracted driving tickets, compared to 2,138 in the first five months of 2016. Sokolowski suggested police are seeing fewer people using phones, but some drivers are being caught more than once.
PUT THE PHONE DOWN
Burnaby RCMP were out at Griffiths Way in south Burnaby last week looking for distracted drivers. It was part of a distracted driving enforcement and education campaign that will continue through the rest of the month around the city. In June, the province increased the distracted driving fines to $368. Burnaby Mounties have handed out 1,232 distracted driving tickets since the fines increased. PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR

Inquest set for man who died during tasering In March the Criminal Justice Branch determined there would be no charges against officers involved
By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
A coroners’ inquest is being held for a man who died after an encounter with Burnaby RCMP at an apartment in 2014. Last week, the B.C. Coroners Service announced an inquest will be held into the death of Maurizio Angelo Facchin, a 50-year-oldVan-
couver man who died on June 4, 2014. It will take place in Burnaby on Oct. 17, 2016. The incident began in the afternoon of June 4 when Burnaby RCMP officers were called to an apartment onWalker Avenue to deal with a person who had broken a window. Once there, police were told the man inside was an
extremely large ex-football player and had been using drugs and booze.The three RCMP members made their way into the apartment where they were confronted by the suspect, who attacked one of the officers. During a struggle, police used a taser (conducted energy weapon, or CEW) and a lateral neck restraint, eventually getting the man to the ground. It’s
at that point, the man went into medical distress and eventually died. A B.C. Coroners press release noted presiding coroner IsisVan Loon and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding his death.The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circum-
stances. In March, the province’s Criminal Justice Branch announced there will be no charges against the RCMP officers in the case. The details of the investigation into the police handling of the incident was detailed in a media statement from the branch. “After reviewing the available evidence in its entire-
ty, Crown counsel concluded that the evidence is not sufficient to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the police officers used more force than was reasonably necessary to subdue and restrain the suspect, including their use of physical restraint, a CEW, a carotid neck restraint and, eventually, handcuffs,” the report stated.

EXCITING NEWS! Dr. Ann Lu
FAMILY AND COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Sexual assaults in city Continued from page 1 On Saturday morning, police were once again called out to a report of a sexual assault, this time in the 7400 block of Kingsway.The woman told police she was walking down an alley when a man approached her from behind and grabbed her buttocks. When she turned around, the man ran away. The suspect was described as a light-skinned man, standing five-feet seven to five-feet nine inches tall with a thin build. He was wearing a red jacket and blue jeans.
None of the women were physically injured in the incidents. Earlier this year, local Mounties were busy trying to solve a rash of more serious sexual assaults along a popular Burnaby trail. Two assaults occurred in daylight along the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail. On Feb. 18, a woman was walking along a path on the urban trail when she was approached by a man and sexually assaulted. On March 6 a woman had just left the Lake City Way SkyTrain station and was walking on the trail
Distracted driving Continued from page 3 “We do have some people that are so accustomed to utilizing their cellphones that even when they’re behind the wheel they still continue to use it,” he told the NOW.
A distracted driver really puts them at risk He noted in a typical blitz, police will issue between 20 and 30 tickets, adding there are still people not getting the message to put the phone down when they are behind the wheel. Tom Webster, a road safety coordinator with ICBC, suggested it’s too early to say whether the new fine scheme is getting people to put down their phones. “We’re hoping that it will maybe be a start, the new
laws come in, and it’s a much more expensive fine if you get caught.We’re hoping that will motivate people to change their behaviour,” he said. According to ICBC, one in four deaths on B.C. roads involves distracted driving. Of the 800 crashes a day around the province, many are caused by distracted driving. As for the month-long campaign,Webster noted this is the time of year where the streets are busy with kids going back to school. “A distracted driver really puts them at risk, so if someone is on their phone they might be entirely unaware of what’s going on around them,” he said. The campaign also means drivers can expect to see police on the road around Burnaby looking for distracted drivers. So the advice from the police is if you don’t want to get a hefty fine, put the phone away.

Investigating: Police gather evidence at the intersection of North Road and Lougheed Highway late Sunday night after a vehicle struck a pedestrian. PHOTO RYAN STELTING
Pedestrian struck by car Burnaby Mounties are considering recommending charges against a driver involved in a crash that sent a pedestrian to hospital late Sunday evening. Police were called to the intersection of North Road and Lougheed Highway on the Burnaby/Coquitlam border just before 11 p.m. for a report of a pedestrian struck. Investigators said the woman was trying to cross
North Road eastbound, when a car heading southbound allegedly ran through a red light hitting her. The woman was taken to hospital and treated for a fractured pelvis. RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau said investigators believe alcohol is a factor in the crash, alleging the driver did not provide a breath sample to officers at the scene. He noted charges are
expected to be approved against the driver in the future. There was no other information provided by police for the driver or the pedestrian. Meanwhile, Burnaby RCMP are asking any witnesses or anyone with information about the incident to contact the detachment’s traffic services section. – By Jeremy Deutsch

Opinion now OUR VIEW
This needs much more than a review Ever wonder about the real value of a free press and journalism? If you haven’t – that’s completely understandable. For decades we’ve all taken it mostly for granted. Journalists expose injustice, unfairness, corruption. That’s their job. And those stories sold newspapers and advertisers wanted to be in those news pages cheek to jowl with those big stories, knowing that readers would see their ads. And, of
course, subscribers wanted to read those stories. And those big stories, sometimes, just sometimes, led to changes in government, investigations and righting wrongs. But given the nature of the ‘news’ industry of today, those big stories are becoming scarcer and scarcer. So, we were delighted to read Kathy Tomlinson’s special investigative report in the Globe and Mail last week.Tomlinson was
contacted by a citizen who wanted people to know about real estate fraud and tax evasion in his city. Demetre Lazos had contacted police and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to report the crimes, and he was ignored. He contacted the newspaper and Tomlinson laid it all out for readers. In a nutshell, her report detailed how foreign investors can, and do, cheat the Canadian system, and
therefor taxpayers. It is mind boggling, not because it has been done for decades – but because the government has done nothing about it. After Tomlinson’s report started to get news legs, there was the usual finger pointing, excuses and hand wringing. And now the CRA says it is launching a review into the actions of B.C. real estate speculators. But how can honest taxpayers trust the system
now? If the CRA did not act on evidence given to it prior to the newspaper report, why would we have faith that it would be able to adequately deal with it now? The tax system is one of the core engines of a democracy.Yes, many folks try to pay as little taxes as possible, but if honest taxpayers can’t count on the CRA to hold the most rich to account, it degrades what little trust many of us still cling to
in our institutions. When the government department responsible for administraton of the tax system can’t manage its own department, it’s time to dig deeper. A CRA review is simply not enough in this situation given what we have learned and how we have learned it. A special ad hoc RCMP division should be created to dig much deeper. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
B.C. NDP torn about pipeline As it increasingly looks like the federal government will approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline project, it will be interesting to see how the B.C. political parties react to the decision and how it will factor into next spring’s election outcome. Of the parties with seats in the legislature, only the B.C. Greens have a clear position.They oppose it outright, full stop. The B.C. Liberals have set the stage for their own conditional approval of the project, subject to their five conditions being met. But if they are not met by the time the vote rolls around, the party can hardly change its position and suddenly support it. But it is the New Democratic Party that has the biggest challenge if the Trudeau government does indeed green-light the contentious pipeline. Just how volatile the issue is for New Democrats was illustrated last week when party leader John Horgan, in a series of interviews, said he could be “persuaded” to back the project under certain and unspecified conditions. He said he “would look at the facts when they come forward and deliberate with those involved and see how they feel and then come forward with a position” on any federal approval. A responsible response by a leader who wants to see all the facts before saying yay or nay to a substantial project. Except for one problem: the NDP is on record
as being adamantly opposed to the project. Horgan, who emphasized he doesn’t think the project, at the moment, merits his support nevertheless opened the door just a crack to that option. But his comments were met with outrage on social media, as the environmental side of his party went ballistic over him even suggesting keeping an open mind on the issue. Less than 24 hours later, Horgan was forced to recant on Twitter, saying the project could not go forward because it was too risky. Horgan’s background has a heavy dose of experience in the energy sector of the provincial government. In the 1990s, he was a special advisor to then-NDP Energy Minister Dan Miller and later his chief of staff when he became interim premier. On their watch, the seeds were sown for what would become a flourishing oil and gas sector in B.C., one that built pipelines. So it’s no surprise Horgan doesn’t want to slam the door completely shut on that sector, but he has been reminded that the environmental wing of the NDP – and not the leader – determines any course of action on that front. In the meantime, the B.C. Liberals delightfully sit back and watch, knowing their chief opponent has some serious internal divisions when it comes to energy development. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Most of the problems were caused by storm sewers and culverts that had become blocked with debris.

Charity should be encouraged
Resident sounds alarm over silty debris
Dear Editor Re: Businesses pitch in to help Burnaby man, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 9. Voluntary association and charity will always be more powerful than the government. We barely have any community. It used to be the church or your neighbour, back in the day now we need a news story in order to help someone, and we resort to saying that “the government should do this.” Let us The expectation government continue to the should and will do empower everything ultimately each other diminishes our culture of charity and compassion, which, as we see, does so much more than the government ever could. Many a person has walked by a homeless beggar and thought, “Well, he’s on welfare.” This attitude has manifested itself on a grand scale over the past century. Humanity is becoming kinder, gentler, and more compassionate, yet charity is in decline. Let us continue to empower each other, not the government. The obvious good will of society can not and does not need to be limited by taxation, which should, in principle, remain low. Magnum Nutraceuticals and Popeyes should have their taxes reduced for helping out. That should be an official policy to encourage charity everywhere and in everything. Elias Ishak, Burnaby
MP urged to say ‘No’ to pipeline expansion Dear Editor Big thanks to MP Terry Beech and his staff for pulling together the Sept. 7 public forum on the Kinder Morgan pipeline. I hope this is more than a Liberal dog and pony show where the Liberals will say “Look at all the consultation we did!” and approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline anyway. The purpose of the forum was to inform attendees and also collect public feedback to take back to Ottawa. The message was pretty clear. We don’t want this pipeline to proceed. Terry Beech, on behalf of your constituents, please take this message back to Ottawa: the only social licence your government has is to protect our air, soil and water. You cannot approve new infrastructure to ship dirty tar sands bitumen to Asian markets. Peter Cech, Burnaby
How about some cheerful news? Dear Editor I have lived here over 50 years. Your paper is getting more left-leaning. How about an article on our own Sinclair (Christine), a Burnaby resident who did well in Rio? After losing her father in April, she did a good job getting her team a bronze medal. A little more cheerful news instead of so much on the pipeline. Vicky Christensen, Burnaby
Sparrow Tavin Anderson Thank you John for doing all this intense work. John Preissl Thank you for all the good work and help Jennifer and the Burnaby Now has done for all the stream keepers in Burnaby! We used to be the leader of the pack in Environmental Concerns with the City of Burnaby. Now the city’s amazing Environmental Department and stream keepers can barely keep up with all the construction sites in Burnaby. Time to get the ‘Culture of Fear” at the city regarding Environmental concerns fixed up like it used to be back a few years ago. The salmon deserve better in Burnaby! Keith In my area I have seen a lot of silt and sand from construction sites end up down our storm drains. Rarely during house construction do they properly cover the storm drains and large quantities of sand, gravel and dirt end up down the drains and into our local streams that feed Burnaby Lake.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS
Evergreen line to open early The much-anticipated Evergreen Line will open before Christmas, the province announced last Thursday. The $1.43-billion project, which is more than 90 per cent complete, will link Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam to Vancouver via Lougheed Town Centre station. Some 70,000 riders are expected to use the ser-
vice daily by 2021, according to the government. “The opening of the Evergreen extension will be a major milestone in TransLink’s history and we are getting ready behind the scenes to help ensure a seamless transition for our customers,” said Kevin Desmond,TransLink CEO, in a press release. The province also an-
nounced an additional 150 parking spaces will be built at the end of the 11-kilometre stretch, at the Lafarge Lake-Douglas station. They will be on top of the 500 new parking spaces already in the works for the Evergreen Line, including some at Moody Centre station and some at Coquitlam Centre station.

City now THE PIPELINE
BROKE: Panel got BOT’s position wrong characterized as “strongly in favour” of the pipeline expansion. The website reads: “Burnaby Board of Trade President and CEO, Paul Holden, spoke strongly in favour of the pipeline but nevertheless suggested that the board would prefer a route that does not enter and terminate in the densely populated City of Burnaby.” Holden said that’s not accurate as the board hasn’t taken a position either for or against the project. “What our position is,
By Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
A group of Burnaby pipeline opponents is crying foul over the government panel’s characterization of the local board of trade’s position, saying it’s incorrect. The three-person panel came to Burnaby in August and heard from local stakeholder groups and residents. Burnaby Board of Trade president Paul Holden was one of many who spoke to the panel, and on the government’s website, he was
what I’ve said all along really, is we support responsible resource development; we support getting the product to market.We have voiced some specific concerns on the project itself,” he said. “So we’ve never actually said either we strongly support or we oppose.We’ve never used those words to describe our position on the project.We’ve basically said we support the goals of product to market and responsible development of resources, and we have some concerns on the proj-
ect.” Karl Perrin, a member of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion, said the panel’s characterization of Holden’s presentation was false and underlines a problem with the panel. “Their report, which Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr will pass on to the Trudeau cabinet, is nothing more than their story about our stories, filtered by their biases,” Perrin wrote in a statement to the NOW. “There is no tran-
script or recording of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s oral submission.” The federal government sent the panel to gather feedback from communities along the pipeline route and shipping corridor. Perrin pointed to a recent board of trade statement that outlines the group’s position: “The BBOT’s review acknowledges the need for greater access to international markets for Canadian oil products and supports responsible resource development but also questions
the current expansion plans as proposed, citing concerns with respect to the impact of seismic activity on the pipeline, as well as the risk to Burnaby as the project terminus – and whether the economic benefits outweigh those concerns.The review also cites the lack of a cooperative relationship between the project proponents and key local stakeholders as an area of concern.” Natural Resources Canada, which oversees the panel, is working on a response.
Development drops steeply in Burnaby By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
While there’s still four months left in 2016, the value of construction activity around the city appears to be headed for a steep drop compared to the record year that was 2015. City building permit values are down by about a third through the first eight months of the year, compared to same time in 2015. So far this year, the city has handed out 1,258 permits totalling $395 million in value. Nearly a quarter
of the overall number ($86 million) came in the month of August alone. But it’s down from the $619 million worth of permits issued by the end of August 2015.The number of permits issued at that time was 1,230. In all, $146 million, or 37 per cent, of the permits so far in 2016 went toward single-family construction, with another $108 million going toward multi-family construction. Mayor Derek Corrigan doesn’t see the decline in permit values as a sign that construction activity is slow-
ing in Burnaby. Instead, he suggested the numbers tend to ebb and flow and could easily increase significantly. The mayor also noted the city has a backlog of projects, and any slowdown in development would be welcomed to allow staff to work on other projects. “From the planning department’s point of view,
any time you can reduce the workload, it’s great for us,” he told the NOW, adding he sees no signs development is slowing down. Corrigan said the city is barely keeping up with the commitments to the regional growth plan, adding there seems to be an “endless appetite” for new housing units.
He also suggested the 15 per cent foreign tax recently introduced by the provincial government won’t make much of a difference on the demand, adding most developers claim they can prove the sales of new units are with people in B.C. Last year, the city broke a record that went all the way back to before the 2008 re-
cession, handing out $879 million on building permits. The record for building permit values was $792 million, set in 2008. In 2014, the city handed out $698 million in building permits, while in 2013, 2012 and 2011 issuing $674 million, $514 million $615 million in permits respectively.

Edmonds group hosting community café EPIC wants residents’ suggestions to improve the neighbourhood By Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
Maybe it’s a music performance, a cultural show or some new street art? If you have an idea to improve the Edmonds area, a local community group wants to hear them. Edmonds People in Community, the Edmonds area residents’ group, is hosting a community café on this month to foster ideas on improving the neighbourhood. “We’re calling it a community café, and it’s meant to create community and have people in the Edmonds town centre come and see how we can partner with people to help their dreams come true,” said Lindy McQueen, one of the founding members of EPIC. “There could be a group of people who would dearly love to share their music or their history, or they would like to see certain activities that aren’t happening.We thought if we get enough people that are interested we could make it happen.” The community café will have a series of tables, each one labelled with a different topic. Attendees are en-
couraged to visit the table that sparks their interest and chat with neighbours to brainstorm things to improve the neighbourhood. An EPIC member will facilitate the group through a series of activities to help the process. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. “People can brainstorm what they would like they see,” McQueen said. EPIC has roughly six core members, so they will also be asking interested parties to volunteer to make the ideas a reality. The community café also helps people get to know their neighbours, McQueen said. Edmonds is one of the most diverse neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland and home to refugees and immigrants from several countries. “If you show up, it’s amazing what you can learn about your community and the interesting people that you do meet that you had no idea that were living here,” she said. The café is on Tuesday, Sept. 27, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Gordon Presbyterian Church, 7457 Edmonds St. Info: www.epiccommuni ty.ca.

Life as it should be A Special Feature of the Burnaby NOW in partnership with the Heights Merchants Association
Anita’s marks a decade in the Heights Family-run pharmacy had been a longtime dream for two Croatian immigrants Cayley Dobie
cdobie@burnabynow.com
They call it a typical immigrant story. Anita Jalzabetic-Maravic and her husband Srdjo (pronounced Sergio) Maravic lived in a small town in Croatia, but the young couple knew they wanted a different life for themselves and their infant daughter. So they began the process of moving from the Eastern European country they’d known all their lives to Canada. In Croatia, JalzabeticMaravic worked as a licensed pharmacist while Maravic was a mechanical engineer. But Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic wanted to own their own pharmacy, something that was impossible in Croatia at the time because the country banned private pharmacies. It wasn’t until they decided to leave that the ban was lifted, and by then it was too late for Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic to change their minds. “We came as landed immigrants in 1994 – the two of us and our daughter,” JalzabeticMaravic said. The small family found themselves living in South Burnaby shortly after arriving to their new home. “It was a little bit dif`cult for us because we lived in a smaller town and Burnaby, Vancouver and all this and the distances and everything. That was different,” Maravic recalled. After a couple of odd jobs here and there, including a brief stint at a health food store, Jalzabetic-Maravic got
time to WARM UP your home
a management position doing quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. Maravic, meanwhile, applied his mechanical engineering skills to posts in the food industry as well as the pharmaceutical industry. “We worked all the time,” Jalzabetic-Maravic said. “Typical immigrants,” Maravic laughed, adding their daughter was only two-and-ahalf at the time and needed to be looked after, too, because they had no family Canada. As the couple settled into their new life in Canada, eventually Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic set out to make their dream of owning a pharmacy a reality. The `rst step was getting a Canadian pharmacist licence, which JalzabeticMaravic did off the side of her desk while caring for her toddler. Twelve years after coming to Canada and `ve years after getting her pharmacist licence, Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic `nally made their dream a reality and opened Anita’s Pharmacy at 4343 Hastings St. Sunday, Sept. 25 will of`cially mark 10 years since Jalzabetic-Maravic and her husband opened Anita’s Pharmacy in the Heights. The pair chose the Heights for its community feel, one they equate to the small town they grew up in in Croatia. “It’s a community pharmacy, it’s like a family business,” Jalzabetic-Maravic said. “Our daughter, when she was going to Moscrop (Secondary) to French Immersion and when she was studying at Simon Fraser University … she used to help me here. She used to

Srdjo Maravic and pharmacist Anita Jalzabetic-Maravic own Anita’s Pharmacy at 4343 Hastings St. Sunday, Sept. 25 will mark 10 years since the pair, who moved to Burnaby from Croatia back in 1994, opened the pharmacy. work part time.” After 10 years in the neighbourhood, the pair knows most of their customers personally – especially after moving to the area themselves shortly after opening the pharmacy. They pride themselves on the relationships they’ve built with their clients, noting
it’s a very personal thing, going to the pharmacy. Anita’s Pharmacy is open seven days a week, and most mornings, Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic are out making deliveries to the customers who can’t come in and pick up their prescriptions themselves. “Mostly we have elderly
people … and we’re really trying to help them out, to make it more convenient for them. We offer free home delivery for the whole of Burnaby,” Jalzabetic-Maravic said, adding Maravic makes the bulk of the deliveries so Jalzabetic-Maravic can greet customers at the shop.
Although they have nothing special planned to celebrate the 10-year milestone, that’s not the couple’s style, they’re proud they’ve stayed in business so long. And Both Jalzabetic-Maravic and Maravic agree, they’d be happy to continue operating for another 10 years.

Cross off your fall to-do list with a trip to the Heights By Elizabeth Ojo, Heights contributor Fall is my favourite time of year. It’s still warm enough to ride bikes through the park yet chilly enough to break out the comfy scarves. We’re lucky in the Lower Mainland to enjoy warm Septembers. You can still kick back on the patio late into the twilight and enjoy the remnants of the summer breeze. This season in the Heights is particularly gorgeous, with the leaves turning shades of brilliant red and rusted copper as they dust the sidewalks. My favourite thing about autumn is the feeling of change in the air. As a student, the `rst day of school feels like New Year’s Day – a
time to refresh and renew. Luckily, the Heights has lots of businesses that can help you cross off the items on your fall to-do list. I’ve noticed so many places to get your hair done here in the neighbourhood. Everyone knows there are plenty of salons but there are also barbershops like Alfredo’s, Karo the Barber, Top Barbers and Heights Barber Shop. Every time I walk into one of these shops, they wave through the window, showing me how friendly the staff are, much like the rest of the merchants in the Heights. It’s amazing to see how much this neighbourhood feels like a small town even though it’s located in the big city. Every year, my mom had a back-to-school checklist for us kids that included getting a checkup and our teeth cleaned. There are so

No matter what’s on your fall checklist, the merchants of the Heights can help you out. Don’t forget to take advantage of the warm weather while it lasts.

Communitynow Chen will be NDP’s candidate for Lougheed riding By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
After the announcement that MLA Jane Shin would not be seeking a second term in Burnaby-Lougheed, the NDP quickly found a replacement. Burnaby school board trustee Katrina Chen was the only candidate to come forward before the end of the party’s riding nomination period. Chen is ex-
pected to be acclaimed at a nomination meeting on Oct. 1. The trustee acknowledged she wasn’t originally interested in making the jump to provincial politics but changed her mind after getting full support from her family and being urged by others in the community. “It’s not an easy decision,” she told the NOW. “I realized I can do it, and I’m the best person for the job.”
Chen, who has worked in the office of Raj Chouhan, NDP MLA for Burnaby-Edmonds, and currently works as MP Peter Julian’s assistant, said one of the big issues in the next election is education. She suggested the Liberal government has chronically underfunded the education system, calling it “a mistake.” She also said housing affordability will be an issue in the next election, espe-
cially the need for affordable and social housing. Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to announce a can-
didate in the riding. Randy Rinaldo was named the candidate earlier this year, but after a se-
ries of “insensitive” tweets from 2012 surfaced, he announced he wouldn’t be running.

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel. A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

So you just bought a place or you’re refinancing at a new financial institution and your notary tells you that you need to get title insurance? There are two kinds of title insurance, one to protect HOWARD LOUIE the homeowner and the other to protect Manager, Mortgage Broker the lender. The one that is required is the title insurance to protect the lender. Not all lenders require title insurance, but nowadays a big portion of lenders in the market will ask for it. The purpose of a title insurance is to maintain the lender’s registered position on title of your home, including protection from any possible frauds that could have been registered previously or will be registered on title. A title insurance for the lender cost about 200 dollars depending on the insurance company, and its a one time fee which your hired notary will take care for you. If you bought or are refinancing a house (not condo) then all lenders will require a survey, or title insurance in place of the survey.

Entertainmentnow Author, musician team up for book launch A Burnaby author is getting a little musical help from a high-profile guest to launch her new novel. Suzanne de Montigny will be joined by Cape Breton fiddler Mairi Rankin as she launches her new book, A Town Bewitched, in a special event at the Cottage Bistro in Vancouver. The launch is set for Saturday, Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. De Montigny, an avid fan of the renowned Rankin Family, first crossed paths with Mairi Rankin at a fiddling camp on the Sunshine Coast, when de Montigny’s sons were seven and nine. “At the time, we thought we’d learn some good tunes and enjoy the Sunshine Coast, but it became much more than that,” she recalls in a press release. She and her son Philippe landed Rankin as their teacher – and, as she recalls it, the two went “totally fiddle crazy.” “When we got home, we practised like fiends every night, stomping our feet as
we played, eventually performing for neighbours,” she says.
Suzanne de Montigny author
Her elder son even took up busking on Granville Island and earned himself $2,000 that summer – and they both signed up as private students with Rankin not long afterwards. It was that Christmas that de Montigny came up with her idea for her next book. “I thought to myself: suppose what happened to us happened to an entire town, except … there was something really wrong with the fiddler.” The idea caught her
imagination, and she started writing on NewYear’s Day. A Town Bewitched tells the story of a child prodigy in classical violin who’s growing up in Hope, B.C. A mysterious fiddler shows up in town, bewitching everyone but Kira with her Celtic music. “Then when someone starts vandalizing the town, leaving dead birds as a calling card, only Kira suspects who the real perpetrator is. But will the others believe her?” a book synopsis reads. It only makes sense that she would hire Rankin to perform at the book launch, de Montigny says, along with guitarist Jennie Ritter. “What better way to celebrate the launch of a book about Celtic fiddling than with an expert in the field?” de Montigny says. Cottage Bistro is at 4470 Main St. Free tickets are available by reservation at www.eventbrite.ca – search for A Town Bewitched, or find a link through www.suza nnedemontigny.com.
colleges. Significant community amenities in each of the City’s six town centres, along with a strong business community and recent infrastructure investments for both private and public, make Surrey an extremely attractive City where people can get an education, find a job, buy a home, and raise their family.
Surrey: The Future IS here By Elizabeth Model
Since the City of Surrey adopted the phrase “The Future Lives Here,” more than a decade ago, what started as a catch phrase evolved into reality. As inter-provincial migration combined with an influx of new Canadians drawn to Surrey’s high levels of amenities, abundant job market and affordable housing options began a housing boom that continues today. Surrey has been awarded numerous national and international accolades for its forwardlooking fiscal policies, robust business climate, strong family-friendly residential real estate and rich civic amenities. Today, those factors have combined to make Surrey one of the most attractive communities for real estate investment in the region. Research shows that owning a home in Surrey is a more affordable option for many British Columbians, however, that is not the sole reason for purchase. The City offers the lowest average residential taxes and second lowest average business property taxes in the region. Another opportunity that Surrey offers is the post-secondary educational schooling options including, Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, along with Douglas College and numerous other private
Schools continue to be built to serve the growing student population, which is the largest in the province. Parks, walking and bicycle trails are being expanded, while the City continues to build and upgrade aquatic centres, recreation complexes and libraries, and has the largest number of artificial sports fields in the province. Surrey is now the third fastest growing City in Canada with roughly 1,000 new people moving into the City every month. With the constant influx of residents, local businesses and operations are benefiting greatly due to the substantial increase in population, creating a stronger economy day-by-day. Industries such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, transportation, health & clean technology and logistics, coupled with an emerging creative sector, all have benefited due to the City’s proximity to the US border, location on the Fraser River and the large agricultural land reserves nearby. At the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, we welcome new business and residents to the City and are supportive of the growth as we continue to evolve. We look forward to seeing new residents join our community daily, as Surrey continues to live up to its motto. The future truly does live here. Elizabeth Model is CEO of the Downtown Surrey BIA.

Communitynow Fall is the perfect time to evaluate what’s important HEALTHWISE
editorial@burnabynow.com
If you (or your family) have expressed concerns about your memory, your physician probably gave you the mini-mental status exam, a screening test for cognitive impairment. One of the questions asked is, “What is the season?” This can be a more challenging question on the West Coast, and it’s not because dementia is any more prevalent. If you look out the window, you may not get any clues.
In spring, summer, winter or fall, we get “all season” weather, and the universal Vancouver day is overcast with a chance of rain, cool but not cold. But you can tell that summer is over and school has begun; morning traffic is busy again as our children carry their backpacks to school. My two children in university are establishing new daily routines, buying textbooks and writing in fresh notebooks. Time management is essential to every student. How much time is needed for homework and study, commuting, preparing
meals, exercise and sleep? If we don’t carefully allocate our time and track how we spend it, social media and social activities will take it all away and the essentials are left out.
In the real world, we all remain students. For those of us who have finished school, this season is an opportunity to look at our lives from a fresh perspective and reallocate our use of time.
Work will consume as much time as we let it. Shopping,TV, phone and computer screens steal more hours than we realize. Exactly where do you devote your precious time and attention? Start with the physical essentials of daily life.We need time to plan and prepare for healthy meals and time to actually eat them; time for regular physical activity; and time for adequate sleep. If we don’t schedule the essentials into every day, we’ll never have enough time. What and who matters most to you? At the end of life, we are
judged and we judge ourselves by how we spent our time, but because of the time-stealers of life, that is rarely an accurate reflection of what really mattered to us. Attend each day to the people who mean the most to you.To stay connected, we need to talk – not text, snapchat, tweet or post. At your memorial, you won’t be admired for your frequent Facebook posts and you won’t be loved by your “likes.” Though some things on the internet will live forever, we and those we care about don’t.

More SFU striker stars in California trip starts sharp STM Knights open season with polished victory
Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
As season openers go, you couldn’t ask for much more than a 28-6 win over a longstanding rival. The St.Thomas More Knights kicked off the 2016 senior football schedule by topping the Notre Dame Jugglers 28-6, thanks to a threetouchdown performance from Grade 11 rusher Tyler Eckert. A second-year player, Eckert carved out 115 yards and scored three times, then tallied seven tackles and two quarterback sacks to lead a well-rounded outing by the Burnaby school. “It was a nice way to start off the season,” STM coach Bernie Kully said. “Lots of guys played well tonight and we hope that is a sign of things to come as the season is a long road.” The Knights, unranked to open the season, had plenty of motivation in play against the No. 5-seeded Jugglers. Continuing a streak that goes back to 2010, STM improved to 8-0 against their fellow Catholic school rival in a match-up that has launched the last three seasons. Eckert scored the game’s first two majors, both in the second quarter, as STM led 14-0 at the half. Mateo Cateri scrambled for 55 yards rushing and a TD, and Eckert added his third score. Quarterback Kolby Buljevic passed for 40 yards and ran for 52 to round out the offence, while Mateo Morreira tacked on seven tackles while Ethan Austin and Matteo Montagliani picked up six apiece. “We as a staff were pretty happy with our effort and energy (Friday),” noted Kully. “We were fortunate to benefit from some turnovers and field position.” Next up for STM is newly No. 1-ranked Vancouver College, who topped Terry Fox.
Those inaugural first days in a new classroom and on a new team can be awkward. Freshman Emma Pringle is having none of that. The North Vancouver-raised forward is making a smooth transition as part of the Simon Fraser University women’s soccer program, having scored all three of the team’s goals to start the season 2-0-1. In their most recent contest, Pringle dipped into her bag of offensive tricks and delivered the game-winning strike in extra time in a 1-0 victory over Cal State Dominguez Hills in California. Pringle’s header, off a freekick executed masterfully by midfielder Jenna Baxter, came just 2:54 into the extra frame. “Emma is a fantastic player and person, and I am not surprised by how well she is doing,” remarked head coach Annie Hamel. “She understands what she brings to the team, and her teammates do as well. We are just feeding her game.” In regulation time, the two teams were locked in a defensive showdown, although the visiting Clan held a 10-6 edge in shots through 90 minutes. Burnaby’s Allyson Dickson was part of a four-strong backline that kept the Cal State rival in check most of the way, while goalkeeper Priya Sandhu Cool under pressure: Simon Fraser University’s Emma Pringle, shown chasing down a ball during a recent women’s soccer exhibition game, picked up the shutout. Earlier, Sandhu was perfect has gotten off to a quick start at the university level, scoring three times over her first three games.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Burnaby’s Voss-Shafiq acing Rio test
Despite seven aces from Burnaby’s Felicia Voss-Shafiq, the Canadian women’s sitting volleyball team fell to 0-2 after a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands on Sunday at the Rio Paralympics. Canada took the first set, but couldn’t build on that momentum (22-25, 25-22, 25-17, 2522). The 36-year-old software support engineer is competing in her first Paralympics, after debuting with the national team last year at the 2015 Parapan American Games in Toronto. Voss-Shafiq, who is a double-knee amputee, finished second in Toronto in team scoring with 29 points.
CANADIANS RED-HOT ON RIO HARDWOOD Canada advanced to the quarterfinals in women’s wheelchair basketball at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. By beating the host Brazilians 82-49 on Mon-
day, the Canadians drew into the final eight, where they were to meet the Netherlands on Tuesday. Burnaby’s AmandaYan has played a key role in the club’s march, counting eight points in an earlier victory over Argentina.
BC COLLECTS TWIN LACROSSE SILVER MEDALS Team B.C. walked away with a pair of silver at last week’s dual field lacrosse championships in Winnipeg. The B.C. under-15 boys squad was edged 13-9 by Ontario in the Alumni Cup final, with a similar result fated to the B.C. u18 side in an 11-8 defeat, also at the hands of Ontario, in the First Nations Trophy final. The u15 squad included Burnaby’s Thomas Vela and New Westminster’s Noah Armitage. The u18 roster featured New West’s Parker Johnson and Liam MacDonald. Both squads

were coached by Bryan Poole.
GALLACHER STEADY IN SUPER-SENIOR RUN Consistency could just be another tool in John Gallacher’s golf bag. The Burnaby golfer was steady through four rounds of the Canadian men’s senior golf championship in Niagara Falls, Ont., finishing sixth overall with a one-over 289. He trailed Juno Beach’s Michael Mercier by six shots. His first three rounds were par-72s; only on Day 4 did Gallacher enter the red, with a 1-over 73. And with the first two rounds counting towards the national super-senior (65-plus) championship, Gallacher didn’t come home empty handed. His two-round total of 144 was six strokes better than the nearest challenger, earning him the Canadian super-senior title.

Baldisimo invited to u17 test series
Burnaby’s Michael Baldisimo is one of 20 players invited to the Canada Soccer’s men’s under-17 camp and series of international matches, which began this week in Panama. The 16-year-old fullback joins a roster competing against Mexico and Panama in a three-nations exhibition series, in preparation for next year’s CONCACAF men’s u17 championships. The nine-day camp includes games against Mexico (Sept. 15) and Panama (Sept. 17), as well as an opportunity for the coaching staff to evaluate players. “This is a great opportunity to play in Panama and to see what it will be like (next) April with the climate and the atmosphere,”
said u17 head coach Paul Stalteri. “This will be another good test for these players.” Baldisimo, who began playing soccer at Wesburn with stints in South Burnaby Metro and Burnaby Metro Selects, participated in the previous two camps – an evaluation camp in February and a pair of international matches last April.The Burnaby teen has also attended evaluation and indentification camps in both 2014 and 2015. He is also a member, since 2011, of the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program. “This is another good opportunity to see where we stand (as well as) a big opportunity for the new kids that haven’t been with us before,” said Stalteri.
