Chen apologizes for ‘poor choice of words’ Burnaby NDP candidate said Indo-Canadians and other immigrants run because they want ‘the name’ Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
Burnaby-Lougheed’s NDP candidate is in the hot seat after the B.C. Liberals leaked old footage they said “denigrated the Indo-Canadian community.”
In the 2012 video released on Monday on the party’s website, Katrina Chen told a reporter Indo-Canadians don’t know much about politics and only run because they want the profile. “Unfortunately, some-
times you see immigrants running because they want the name.They actually don’t know the politics very well yet, and sometimes local parties support them because they need the immigrants’ vote, like from the Indo-Canadian community
for example,” Chen said in the video. The then-28-year-old, who had been working as a constituency assistant for NDP MP Peter Julian, was in Taiwan for a conference and participated in an interview encouraging new Ca-
nadians to be involved in the political process. When reached by the NOW, Chen apologized for her “poor choice of words” and said she was “very new and nervous” back then. “I think it’s important that people understand that
those comments don’t represent my views. I have a lot of respect for many, many of the South Asian families that I’ve worked with during the past 10 years.” The MLA hopeful added Continued on page 9

Newsnow STUDENTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Carving a bridge to reconciliation By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A 10-foot, 10-inch Coast Salish welcome figure will soon greet students, staff and visitors to Burnaby Central Secondary. Under the watchful eye of Musqueam carver Brent Sparrow, about 15 students are now putting the finishing touches on the redcedar carving. “It’s not a totem pole; it’s a house post,” Sparrow told the NOW. “You see, the notch on top is used to hold the beams in the house. It held the houses up. The female figure’s hands are held up in a gesture that has several meanings, according to the carver, including recognition, respect and welcome. A female figure seemed appropriate for a school, Sparrow said. “In our culture, the women were the caregivers, right? So I thought maybe a woman would be good to welcome the kids in, as they were the caregivers and looked after the young and passed most of the teachings on,” he said. Sparrow got the log from a little mill in Sooke on Vancouver Island, he said, and roughed in the figure at his own shop with a chainsaw before bringing it to the school. For about two months, students in teacher Anto Steko’s art class have joined a handful of interested aboriginal students from around the school to work on the figure. The response from students has been mixed, according to Steko. “Working with knives has been a huge challenge,” he said. “It’s very difficult to carve on hard wood. And just the technique was difficult for some of them to master.” For those that stuck with it, however, the rewards will be long lasting. “This is going to be up here for a long time, and they put their hand in this and it’s memorable,” Steko said. Funding for the project is coming from an ArtStarts grant secured by art department head Michael Shumiatcher. Landing Sparrow, an artist with a rising reputation, to do the project was a coup, according to Burnaby Central aboriginal youth and family worker Corrina Chase, who recommended him. “We got this grant, but in, like, 10 years we’d never be able to afford him, not even close,” Chase said with a laugh. Sparrow’s roots as a carver go deep. His mother, renowned First Nations artist Susan Point, is currently being featured in a solo exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and Sparrow had his hand in
a number of the pieces on display. This is the first time he has worked with students at a school, but it likely won’t be the last. “I believe it’s for the truth and reconciliation,” Sparrow said. “If you look, there are all different cultures here. It’s nice to see them doing the work.” The figure will be unveiled at 2 p.m. on May 2, during the school’s truth and reconciliation day and will stand at the front entrance.
YOU’RE WELCOME: Under the watchful eye of Musqueam carver Brent Sparrow, standing above, Burnaby Central students work on texturizing a First Nations welcome figure that will soon stand in the school’s front entrance.

Worker fights for right to washroom breaks
SPRING DECORATING SALE
Employee lodges human rights complaint against the city in connection with a medical condition Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A former City of Burnaby truck driver has launched a human rights complaint against the municipality for not providing enough places along his routes to pee. Shervin Jafarzadeh suffers from interstitial cystitis, an extremely painful medical condition leading to a frequent and urgent need to urinate, according to his complaint to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. He alleges the city did not accommodate his disability or his return to work after a sick leave as per the B.C. Human Rights Code. He further alleges the city wrongfully terminated his employment because of his medical condition. According to an April 4 ruling, Jafarzadeh said the
city told him washroom access would be provided along his routes, but the facilities were either out of service or simply locked on a number of occasions, exacerbating his painful condition. Jafarzadeh said he expressed concern to supervisors at the time, but to no avail. In June 2015, he went on sick leave because of his condition. His doctor cleared him to work in July 2016, but, when he tried to contact the city, he said he got no response. Then, on Sept. 19, 2016, he was terminated – apparently for leaving work early without permission on certain dates before June 2015. In his complaint, Jafarzadeh alleges the real reason for his dismissal was that
Burnaby did not want to deal with his disability anymore. “The complainant says the purported termination for misconduct was disingenuous because Burnaby found his disability ‘overwhelming’ and terminated his employment for healthrelated reasons,” reads the decision by tribunal member Vladimir (Walter) Pylypchuk. The city, meanwhile, has indicated it will eventually apply to have the complaint dismissed without a hearing because the washroom allegation was filed outside of the six-month time limit in the code. The tribunal has agreed to hear the case, but Burnaby applied to have the hearing deferred pending the resolution of a grievance Continued on page 8

IMPORTANT REMINDER
6 WEDNESDAY April 19, 2017 • BurnabyNOW
Opinion now OUR VIEW
This is the 100-metre dash of campaigns To almost everyone’s relief, the official election campaign is underway. We’ll forgive you if it’s already felt like a long, unofficial trek to the polls.The official start to the race, at least, means no more campaign announcements masquerading as public information. We are writing this one week after the writ has been dropped, and it looks
like it’s the Liberals’ race to lose. But who knows? Even a little less than a month is a long time in politics. Although as races go, this is really a 100-metre election dash. Last week’s bidding war on bridge tolls promises to just be the first of many salvos to grab voters’ attention.There will be many more promises to come, to be sure. And there will
be many more charges of wrongdoing and general skulduggery in the trenches to come.Today’s page 1 story is probably just the first old skeleton to be dragged out of a candidate’s closet. But there’s also enough fresh mud to be slung around, and voters will have their hands full trying to figure out whom to place their trust in.
It’s no easy feat. After many years in government, Christy Clark has sharpened her political skills but lost a lot of credibility with broken promises and messes galore. It’s been so long since the NDP has been in power in B.C. that they almost have a clean slate and a chance to cash in on a “change” mandate. But all of that could change in a
heartbeat. We’ll do our part over the next few weeks to tackle the candidates on the issues, get them to answer questions and show you how they conduct themselves at all-candidates meetings and in the public arena. But it’s your responsibility as voters to go a step farther and educate yourselves.
Question the candidates when they show up on your doorstep.Tell them what’s important to you. Grill them on their record or ask how they’ll deliver on their promises.Talk to folks whose opinions you respect, as well as those you disagree with. As the old quote goes, “80 per cent of success is showing up.” In elections, make that 99 per cent.
MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS
A pattern of lies upon lies
F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote: “Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.” It’s the missed opportunities over the 2012 Health Ministry firings that will forever haunt the B.C. government. Ombudsperson Jay Chalke’s report, Misfire: the 2012 Ministry of Health Employment Terminations, pointed to a pattern of falsehood piled upon falsehood. Chalke found that the case against Roderick MacIsaac “was unsupported by the evidence and untrue.” Something the government knew full well by November 2012, but no one could even pick up the phone while Roderick was still alive to tell him. A tragic missed opportunity. By the fall of 2013, the government knew that virtually everything their case had been predicated on had fallen out from under them, but no one said a word. Another missed opportunity. Premier Christy Clark stretched the truth with her characterization ofVictoria lawyer Marcia McNeil’s pending 2014 review into the firings, telling the legislature: “It is important that we get to the bottom of it, and that is what we hope to do. (McNeil) has full authority to speak with anyone she wants to in government.” No third-party review of the premier’s comments was required for the upper echelons inside government to immediately know Clark had misspoke, but no one corrected the record. Another missed opportunity. By spring 2015, the government knew the RCMP
had declined to investigate, but no one said a peep. Another missed opportunity. There was the three-year comptroller general’s investigation that went from finding “substantial merit” to most of the whistleblower’s claims to a report that “contained statements that were untrue” in a matter of weeks.Yet, when The Vancouver Sun published details from that report nearly a year later, no one saw fit to own up. Quite the opposite, in fact. In an interview, Health Minister Terry Lake doubled down telling the Sun: “This was an investigation done by professional civil servants, not under the direction or direct control of politicians but carried out by professional public servants.They did their work.” Another missed opportunity. You walk away from Chalke’s report with a better sense of how this happened than you do why it happened?Why couldn’t government veterans satisfy a whistleblower on points where she was mistaken and fix what she may have been right about? No one seems to have applied the brakes for a sober second thought. These weren’t rookies. Five of nine key players named in Chalke’s report were in government in 2001, three more by 2005 and one by 2007. All were earning six-figure salaries in 2011/12, two of them more than $200,000. Five of the nine have since been promoted. The media relations manager whose name appears Continued on page 7

Don’t pick on the pool hall In May, city council discovered it would be discriminatory to restrict the hours of operation for the controversial pool hall Starlite Billiards without imposing the same restrictions on other similar businesses.The only way council could get a handle on the problems surrounding the 24-hour pool hall would be to restrict the hours at all Burnaby pool halls or to suspend or revoke Starlite’s business licence. In response, the pool hall hired a security firm to patrol the inside and parking lot.

Opinionnow No one ‘owns’ our votes Dear Editor: In my opinion, the B.C. NDP is taking the voters of Burnaby-Lougheed for granted. The evidence for this is anecdotal, but … Jane Shin was our MLA for the last four years. By all accounts, Ms. Shin is a very nice person – it’s just that she was invisible. For that reason, when a flyer arrived in her last week as an MLA I read it with interest. I was surprised at the many events and functions she had attended. However, under the heading of ISSUES ADVOCATED FOR was Kinder Morgan. A careless typo? If you really cared, if it was really an issue for you, wouldn’t you notice? The B.C. NDP lawn signs went up a couple of days before the writ dropped. I guess the assumption was no one would care. Yesterday evening I was canvassing for the B.C. Green Party’s candidate, Joe Keithley. There’s a house on the corner of my block that has an NDP sign up. The former co-owner was a big NDP supporter. I met his widow and she asked what I was doing. When I told her, she appeared confused and asked if I’d put up the NDP lawn sign. I assured her I had not and asked if people from the NDP hadn’t called to ask her permission. She just shook her head “no.” The people of Burnaby have a choice this election, and if they are unhappy with the B.C. Liberals, they don’t have to vote NDP or spoil their ballots. The B.C. Greens aren’t “splitting” the vote. I’m meeting plenty of people who tell me they voted Liberal in 2013 but won’t this
time. In my opinion, nobody “owns” the votes of Burnaby voters. If you want real change, vote Green in 2017. David W.G. Macdonald, Burnaby
Employees are afraid Continued from page 6 on the still very public 2012 RCMP news release was promoted, seeing his salary jump from $75,574 to $110,158. At least two others were also promoted. Last month, B.C.’s auditor general, Carol Bellringer, released her office’s audit of B.C. public service ethics management. In it she noted: “In the last two years, only half of employees who observed unethical behaviour in their workplace came forward to report what they saw. Of those who didn’t report, just over half said they were afraid to.” In a recent editorial, the Times Colonist wrote: “Please note:The person who led the biased, incompetent investigation into (Ron) Mattson and the others, who threw innocent people to the wolves, still works for the province. Government employees, be afraid.” It would seem – based on Bellringer’s findings – many already are.There is one opportunity that needn’t be missed: take the September 2012 news release down.

City now Watch where you dig By Lauren Boothby
editorial@burnabynow.com
Residents may want to hold off on their groundbreaking plans for home, yard and garden renovations this spring until they know what they are digging into. Burnaby ranked fifth in the province for natural gas line damage incidents last year. For all cases in the province, one in three breaks were by residents. “Lots of people don’t even realize that if you’re just putting in a fence or
gardening that you would have to call,” said Amy Burton, communications for Fortis B.C. “(People) just assume it’s for contractors doing big road work.” Burton said it is important to call to prevent digging into other underground utilities, including natural gas, telephone, electric and water lines. “Damaging a natural gas line can cause unsafe situations. It can cause traffic or service interruptions, and it might also cost the people doing the damage the cost
of repairs,” Burton said. Hitting underground electric or gas lines is not only expensive to repair but can be dangerous, according to B.C. Safety Authority manager Brad Wyatt. “It only takes a few minutes to make a phone call or submit a request online which will save you time, money and perhaps even your life,” he said in a press release. Residents can call B.C. One Call, 1-800-474-6886, to find the locations of underground utilities.
WATERMAIN FLUSHING The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on February 9th 2017 to May 31st 2017 This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discolored after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap.

Fired City of Burnaby worker files human rights complaint Continued from page 5 filed on Jafarzadeh’s behalf by his union, CUPE Local 23. The city argued the complaint could be dealt with during the grievance process and deferring the human rights complaint was in the public interest as it will
avoid an unnecessary duplication of proceedings and public expense. Pylypchuk agreed and deferred Jafarzadeh’s complaint until June 30 or until it is resolved in the grievance/arbitration process, whichever occurred first. “It is in the public interest
not to expend adjudicative resources needlessly,” Pylypchuck stated. In outlining his decision, Pylypchuk clarified he made “no findings of fact regarding the merits of the Complaint” but had merely set out background information to provide context.

Election2017 Meet your Burnaby candidates at upcoming meetings, gatherings Burnaby residents wanting to hear from their 2017 MLA hopefuls should mark these all-candidates meetings on their calendars.
MEET-AND-GREETS
Burnaby-Deer Lake: April 25 at Bonsor Recreation Complex, 6550 Bonsor Ave., from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Burnaby-Lougheed: April 28 at Lochdale Community
Hall, 490 Sperling Ave., from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Burnaby North: May 1 at the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library, 4595 Albert St., from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Burnaby-Edmonds: May 2 at Stride Avenue Community School, 7014 Stride Ave., from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. The meet-and-greets are being organized and hosted
by the Burnaby Inter-Agency Council. “We just felt it was important to actually have a place that candidates could respond to community, to bring issues that are important, specifically to Burnaby, to the forefront,” said Antonia Beck, the council’s co-chair. “It’s important for people to vote and be informed about what they’re voting for.”
At each meeting, there will be a moderator. Audience members will get a chance to submit a question. “It’s going to be short and sweet,” Beck said. “We figured an hour-and-a-half will be conversations and then half an hour for a meet-and greet.”
VOTE POP-UP
The council is also helping bring a vote pop-up initiative
‘She is front and centre’ Continued from page 1 she’s been door knocking in the South Asian community in the last few days. “They know that’s not what I meant,” she said, noting she doesn’t think the leak will hurt her campaign. Chen went on KRPI Radio, a South Asian station that broadcasts across the Lower Mainland, on Monday to say she was sorry. The Burnaby school trustee was accompanied by NDP colleague Raj Chouhan, who’s gunning for a fourth term in the Burnaby-Ed-
monds riding. Chouhan told the NOW he didn’t take Chen’s comments personally. “When the Liberals’ campaign is faltering, they’re so desperate, they are digging up something which absolutely does not reflect Katrina’s views,” he said. “If you walk around and drive around in BurnabyLougheed, you will see the number of signs in front of South Asian houses. (It) reflects the kind of support and love she’s getting.” Chouhan, who called
Chen “my daughter,” said he’s proud of her and all that she has accomplished over the last decade. “It’s very difficult to list all those events that she has attended with me,” he said. “She is front and centre, representing people, talking about affordability and everything, especially in the South Asian community. People who have seen Katrina in action, they have seen her in the community, they know how strong and passionate and committed she is to families.”
to town. Held at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s south location, 4460 Beresford St., the pop-up includes a voting station that will provide all the info needed, “so people don’t get intimidated.” The first pop-up is set for April 27 from 10 to 11 a.m. It will also take place during the Neighbourhood House’s digital café, seniors’ together program and tax clinic.
BOARD OF TRADE HOSTS MEETING

he Greater Vancouver real estate market is getting hit from all angles at the moment. There is the foreign buyers tax, the empty home property tax and the most recent mortgage lending rule changes. The foreign buyers tax has been scaled back somewhat to make it more reasonable for those with work permits, but it is still a major deterrent to property speculators looking to park their money.
These ones are all in the news regularly and are known and regularly discussed. However, there is another change that has happened, half way around the world, that could possibly have as large of an impact on the real estate market and economy. The Chinese government at the beginning of January began enforcing strict foreign currency controls to prevent the flight of capital overseas and to stem the decrease in the value of the yuan. The government will continue to allow an annual $50,000 US in currency exchange per person, but will require disclosure as to the reasons for the currency exchange and may impose steep fines for foreign investment that is not authorized. In the first 11 months of last year, $762 billion US left China. The Greater Vancouver area has been a popular destination for Chinese money over the last number of years. In speaking with Chinese clients, many Chinese have been trying to get as much money out of the country as possible in anticipation of regulations like this coming into place, and now this ability has been significantly restricted. While the foreign buyers tax will have impacted the market already, there are many landed immigrants, Chinese Canadians and work permit holders from China in the lower mainland who were also very active in the real estate market. Will the real estate market crash from this? There are many factors in the lower mainland that make it the most expensive place in Canada to buy real estate, and this is just one of them. I do feel the foreign buyers tax and the government mortgage and banking regulations will have a bigger impact than this one, but every change matters. It is in large part Chinese money that has led to the lower mainland being so unaffordable to buy in (while on the other hand also making many millionaires, at least on paper). Having the taps effectively turned off will have its impact. The market is in a modest correction at the moment, which was expected from the other changes, and the market will adjust and move forward, but I anticipate the next year to be relatively flat for valuation, with a possible modest increase in values by the end of the year.

What are the 2 types of construction loans?
The first type of construction loan is a construction-only loan. The lender will offer an amount of money that will cover the cost of the construction project. The borrower is typically to make interest-only HOWARD LOUIE payments on the loan until the project Manager, Mortgage Broker is complete, within one year. The principal balance is due in full once the project is complete. This allows the borrower the freedom to apply for a mortgage with another lender once the project is complete. The 2nd construction/mortgage loan covers the cost of the construction project and the mortgage on the completed property. An interest-only payment option may still be available with this type of loan. There is only one closing with this type of loan, because the borrower will be working with the same lender for construction and the mortgage. The interest rate is usually different for the duration of the construction, and will change once the mortgage payments begin.

Q A
My feet hurt while walking and runningwhat should I do?
The Spring running season is now upon us, so too comes the running and walking related injuries! One of the most common injuries runners or JASON MOORE walkers complain of is ball-of-thefoot discomfort – from bunion pain, to burning or numbing sensations across the toes. Increasingly, health care professionals refer patients “stiff forefoot shoes” for ball-of-the-foot ailments. These limit flex across the forefoot, allowing joints and ligaments to rest and not engage as much as in flexible shoes. Shoes, particularly athletic ones, are generally flexible across the ball of the foot for efficient toe-off. But occasionally, a less flexible forefoot has proven to be a useful treatment tool! Recommendation: If you suffer ball-of-the-foot pain consider trying a stiff soled shoe with a slight rocker profile. Check out our big store wide sale that starts April 21st!

Dancer brings new work to Burnaby stage Femme Fatales onstage May 3 to 6 at the Shadbolt An award-winning contemporary dance artist is premiering her first fulllength work at the Shadbolt Centre in May. Femme Fatales, created by Meredith Kalaman, is onstage May 3 to 6 at the Shadbolt. Kalaman, the two-time winner of Canada’s prestigious Chrystal Dance Prize, created Femme Fatales over the course of three years. For her performance, she’ll be joined by Kate Franklin and Felicia Lau in the production that explores how inherited gender roles and behaviours impact individual identity. “Kalaman’s choreography casts a spell with her vivid imagery, using historical references from childhood nursery rhymes to remnants of the witch-hunt era, to dive into the heart of the paradigms that form how we think and act based on our gender,” a press release explains. The Chrystal Dance Prize is awarded annually by
Onstage What: Femme Fatales, a new full-length dance work by Meredith Kalaman Where: Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave. When: Wednesday, May 3 to Saturday, May 6, with shows at 8 p.m. Tickets: $15 to $38. See tickets.shadboltcentre. com or call 604-205-3000 Dance Victoria to foster international collaborations for independent Canadian dance artists. Kalaman’s first Chrystal Dance Prize win was in 2015, when she was granted the award to partner with German dramaturge Gabi Beier to expand her work on Femme Fatales – which was first performed as a workin-progress at the 2014 B.C.
Buds Spring Art Fair. She continued to develop the work while in residence at Dance Victoria and at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.Then, last month, Dance Victoria announced she had received the 2017 Chrystal Dance Prize (with a total award of $24,500) to tour the production to Berlin this coming August. “It is a true fulfilment of the work for me to have it presented in both North America and Europe, given that the early source material for the work is based on the history of the witch hunts in these two places,” Kalaman said in a press release. “I look forward to seeing how the work resonates on both continents, to further unpack the message behind Femme Fatales.” Femme Fatales runs Wednesday, May 3 to Saturday, May 6, with shows at 8 p.m.Tickets range from $15 to $38. See tickets.shadbolt centre.com or call 604-2053000.

SFU prof’s latest play on stage An SFU professor and playwright’s latest work is coming to the stage in Vancouver in April. Peter Dickinson’s Long Division, which premiered in November at the Gateway Theatre, is back onstage at the Annex Theatre from April 26 to 30. Pi Theatre is presenting the work, with choreography by Lesley Telford, musical score by Owen Belton and direction by Richard Wolfe. “Math is a secret language hidden in plain sight. So much of what we see in the world around us – traffic patterns, the growth of plants, our ubiquitous mobile devices – are governed by logic and patterns that
can be expressed purely in numbers,”Wolfe said in a press release. “In this remarkable play, Peter exploits this phenomenon and takes it a step deeper – using mathematics to chart the connections between disparate humans. It is a thrilling accomplishment whose end result wrenches your heart and sets your mind racing in equal measure.” Long Division’s story revolves around seven characters who are travelling to a downtown bar on the occasion of a complicated anniversary. All of their lives overlap in a single, unresolved traumatic event that binds their pasts together. The ensemble cast includes top performers from
Vancouver’s theatre scene, including Anousha Alamian, Jay Clift, Nicco Lorenzo Garcia, Jennifer Lines, Melissa Oei, Linda Quibell and Kerry Sandomirsky. Dickinson is a professor at Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts and in the department of English, and also serves as director of SFU’s Institute for Performance
Studies. He’s a former board member and past president of the PuSH International Performing Arts Festival and sits on the boards of Zee Zee Theatre and Turning Point Ensemble. The Annex is at 823 Seymour St.,Vancouver. Tickets start at $25. See www.pitheatre.com for details and tickets.

Increase natural light into a home Maximizing natural light in a home is a smart and sometimes low-cost renovation. Homes that are dark and drab can drain energy levels and reduce productivity. In addition, dark rooms may not be inviting places to gather as a family or when entertaining. Certain factors contribute to a dark home. Houses that face north or east may not get the same level of sunlight as those that primarily face south and west. Geographic location also plays a role in the amount of natural sunlight. Mountains, buildings and even latitude can affect the amount of natural light that enters a home. The style of a home and its attributes also may create dark conditions. Deep house eaves as well as small windows or too few windows also can contribute to a deficit of light indoors. A major remodel certainly can remedy the situation. However, there also are other less-extensive strategies to improve natural light. • Assess the situation before renovating.Walk around the house and determine which rooms get the most light and which conditions may be contributing to the problem in other areas. Dark floors and walls may be absorbing natural light and compounding the situation.You may find that only one or two rooms need attention, saving you the cost and effort associated with a major home overhaul. • Lighten up window treatments. Heavy drapes or thick blinds can be replaced
with translucent alternatives. Translucent shades will allow light into the room without compromising privacy, say the experts at HGTV. • Use mirrors strategically. A mirror placed opposite a window will reflect light all around the room. This can make a small room seem larger and a dark space instantly brighter. • Install new windows and doors. If the budget allows, installing larger windows in a home will allow more natural light in. French doors or sliding doors also may make a home’s interior more bright. Think about adding windows to a side of the house that has none, or increase the size of the windows on the side of the house that gets the most light. • Maximize sunlight from above. Skylights will bring light into a home as the sun passes overhead. Tubular skylights can bring natural sunlight into spaces where you may not expect skylights to be practical. According
to Houzz, a design and architectural resource, tubular daylighting devices, or TDDs, can make a big difference. TDDs are reflective pipes installed between the roof and ceiling, with a clear plastic dome. • Use reflective decor. Reflective surfaces, including glass and metal, can brighten up a room and diffuse light around a room. Glossy backsplashes, pendant lighting and shiny metal that reflect light can increase the natural light, balancing out dark spaces. • Prune trees regularly. Cut back branches and keep trees tidy to maximize sunlight. Avoid planting tall shrubbery in front of windows. • Routinely clean windows and glass doors. Dirt and other grime can prevent light from getting through. Regularly give windows a thorough washing. Natural light is an important commodity in a home.

PLANT SALE
Get started now on spring cleaning
Warmer temperatures and longer hours of sunlight can recharge energy levels. Upon the arrival of spring, homeowners dust off their to-do lists and charge ahead with renewed vigor. But before homeowners can get started on renovation projects, many must tame the existing mess that may have built up over the winter. Spring is a great time to dive into spring cleaning projects and ready a home for a season of renovation and remodeling. Getting started on spring cleaning can be a tad overwhelming. In 2012, OnePoll asked 1,000 adults living in the United Kingdom how they felt about spring cleaning, and 41 percent of those surveyed found spring cleaning a daunting process while 68 percent had negative feelings about spring cleaning. But in spite of that initial lack of enthusiasm, respondents said they felt happy and more organized once they finished their spring cleaning. Establishing a plan and setting reachable goals can make spring cleaning a lot less daunting. • Set aside several days for spring cleaning. A long weekend is a great time to do some spring cleaning, as having consecutive days to clean will reduce the chances you grow distracted.
• Make a list and purchase all of the supplies you will need. Again, this will help you stay on course, rather than going out to the store to pick up cleaners or organizational systems. • Try to set reasonable goals. Even if you hope to clean the entire house, stick to the one or two rooms that are most desperate for your attention. Divide each task into a series of steps so when you complete each step you will feel proud that you’re making progress. • Create your musical playlist. A playlist full of your favorite songs can provide some inspiration and energy to push you through the spring cleaning when your enthusiasm starts to wane. The music also may take your mind off of the work ahead and help to pass the time. • Start from the top and work downward. Follow
a logical cleaning order. Begin by dusting away cobwebs and lighting fixtures. Clean light switches and walls. Empty closets and then restock them in a more organized fashion. Leave the furniture and flooring for last, as dirt and dust may accumulate on furniture and flooring as you clean other areas of the home. • Be prepared to bid adieu to some of your stuff. Have a few trash bags at the ready. Reorganize items you won’t be keeping into separate piles, with one pile for items you plan to donate and another for those items you will discard. Donate what you can and promptly put the remainder of the items at the curb for pickup. • Stay fed and hydrated. Cleaning can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Take breaks to fuel up on food and always have a refreshing beverage close by.

Choices Markets Full Circle Top Soil 20 L Soil is a building block towards a healthy environment; it promotes growth of plants, some of which lead to food production. Maintaining a healthy soil will provide economical and functional benefits. Choices Markets Full Circle Soil is derived from the compost from our stores. The compostable materials from the stores are broken down over a period of 5 to 6 months, through a fully aerated static pile method, ending with the top soil that we call Full Circle! Our Full Circle Top Soil is nutrient-rich and a part of our effort to provide a sustainable option for the environment.
5 weekend projects to try now Home improvement projects range from major construction overhauls like bathroom remodeling jobs to smaller renovations that may entail something as minor as painting the walls. Smaller projects can often be conquered in a typical weekend but still provide a strong sense of accomplishment. The following are five projects tailor-made for weekend warriors. 1. Improve storage in the entryway. Home entryways are the first places many people drop mail, shed their shoes and toss their keys upon arriving home. As a result, entryways can quickly be overrun with clutter.
Organic Strawberry Plants
606 pack
Storage solutions can include putting in a desk or hutch with baskets underneath to store umbrellas and backpacks. Or hang a coat rack and create a shoe rack to store shoes until the time comes to leave the house once again. 2. Shed new light. Add some design appeal to your home by replacing an old lighting fixture with something more modern. Such a task is relatively easy, and you need not possess the skills of a trained electrician. 3. Add molding for a finishing touch. Dress up spaces with crown molding or a decorative chair rail that goes around a room.
You can even use molding to frame new or existing artwork. Find a molding style that complements the architectural style. 4. Update hardware in the bath and kitchen. Switch the handles, draw pulls and knobs on cabinetry with new hardware. The time commitment is practically nil, but you might just give rooms a whole new feel. 5. Patch and paint walls. Spend a weekend filling in holes left behind by since-removed wall hangings. If the patches dry quickly, paint over them. If not, resolve to do your patchwork one weekend and paint the ensuing weekend.

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF, HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN FASHION? In 2008, I launched the business. It’s something that I always loved to do since I was a child. I used to make my dolls some clothes with my mom’s old fabric she didn’t use anymore, so that’s how it start (sic). My dad came from a background
where for him, art was supposed to be just a hobby and not any more. … I took graphic design and drawing and what not, but all the time I had my dad (saying), ‘You can’t do it, you can’t do it,’ and then finally, I’m like, ‘You know what? That’s what
The business is clothing for real women
I want to do.’ … I studied in Tel Aviv. And then I came here, and I finally had the courage. In general, the business is clothing for real women – that’s the slogan. When I’m designing, I’m like, ‘OK, I want the woman to feel beautiful, I want her to feel happy because I know when I’m going to wear something, I want something that’s going to make me happy,
WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING? It’s my passion. If I wasn’t doing it I think I would be miserable. It just makes me happy. I really love to create women’s clothing. WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE TO YOU? What is success? It’s like all the time to look forward to do more. I’m happy where I am now, but I have big dreams. I want to go further, I want to go international. This is part of my plan. … I’m very ambitious. I’m not afraid. I’d like to be a worldwide designer and touch a lot of women and make them happy.
BURNABY FOR YOUR STUDIO? I live in Burnaby, just a half-block from here. It just makes sense to me.

New chief in charge of city’s purse strings There’s a new director of finance at the City of Burnaby. Noreen Kassam takes over for Denise Jorgenson, who recently retired from the city after three decades. Kassam was an internal hire. She previously held the position of assistant director of financial planning and capital equity for more than three years. Before that, she was at
the City of Surrey for eight years as its manager of budgets and reporting. Other gigs she’s had are with Metro Vancouver as a financial analyst and in the private sector with Aza Pacific Insurance Company. Kassam, who was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and immigrated to Canada when she was one, also worked in the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, where she audited crown corporations. “I definitely have big
shoes to fill,” she said of replacing Jorgenson. “But I’m up for the challenge.” The finance director oversees a half-billion-dollar annual operation that has a near billion-dollar reserve. At the end of 2015, the City of Burnaby’s investment portfolio topped the $900-million mark and returned a healthy profit of $41.5 million, or 3.91 per cent. Kassam called Burnaby “an amazing city to work for,” one that is “debt free,

Lucas sprints to new mark
SFU freshman posts second fastest time in GNAC history For a freshman, Simon Fraser University sprinter Katherine Lucas has little time for convention. The first-year NCAA Div. 2 competitor ran the second fastest 100 metres in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history on Saturday at the Long Beach State Invitational, easily eclipsing the provisional qualifying standard for nationals. Her 11.82-second time put Lucas 12th out of a field of 98 runners from all over the world. It was also the 15th fastest time in NCAA Div. 2 this season. “Katherine ran great and she came to perform,” said Clan head coach Brit Townsend. “We came away with several performances that are knocking on the door for nationals.” It was also a new personal best for Lucas, who ran 12-seconds flat a day earlier at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif. Valda Kabia, who delivered a sterling personal best in the 200m sprint at the Clay Invitational, wrapped up Saturday’s 100m in 12.19, good for 44th place. In the men’s 100m race, Burnaby’s Nathan Mah registered another sub-11 second result, finishing in 10.97 for 55th place. The women’s 800m race saw a pair of former SFU runners rack up excellent results, with alumna Lindsey Butterworth, for the Coastal Track Club, setting the pace with a winning time of 2:05.63. In fifth spot was Canadian Olympian and ex-Clan runner Jessica Smith, at 2:07.67, while SFU’s Addy Townsend finished 14th at 2:08.72. In 32nd place was SFU’s Paige Nock. In the men’s 800m, Carlos Vargas was 56th with a time of 1:54.23. Senior Daniel Kelloway placed seventh out of 86 runners in the men’s 400m, posting a 48.12 time. It was just short of the provisional qualifying standard of 47.94 needed for nationals. A day earlier, middle distance runner Julia Howley and Kabia jumped into the national rankings with strong results at the Clay Invitational. Howley was a standout in the 1500m, shaving five-full seconds off her personal best while finishing with the third quickest time in NCAA Div. 2 this season. Her 4:25.45 was within two seconds of automatically qualifying for the national championships. Kabia placed eighth, in 24.13 seconds, in the 200m race. It was the 10th fastest time in the NCAA this year.

Burnaby senior has nothing but time Enthusiasm for running makes 87-year-old Norm Lesage a special kind of athlete Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
The 100-metre race is a basic, short burst that presents a simple test: how fast can you go? No matter what the surface, or if it is on an oval track or a straight line, the distance isn’t such an obstacle to be a burden for most people. But add a stop watch and some urgency, and suddenly the short stretch becomes a power sprint. When Norm Lesage looks at it, the challenge is not the if, but the how quick. At 87-years old, the Burnaby senior is bearing down once more for a race this weekend that others younger than him will take a pass on. A passion for running, however, has fuelled Lesage’s healthy habit of lacing on his sneakers and pushing the limit. “What else is there?” asks Lesage when the question comes up if running isn’t perhaps something he should consider stopping. “I’m not the kind of guy who wants to sit and watch the world go by.When I’m running, I BS with people all along the trail. I say hello to everyone.” A gregarious type, Lesage enjoys the camraderie of the competition. Seniors are too often stereotyped as sedentary, grouchy retirees, he says.While Lesage loves to share his knowledge and encourage those around him to keep moving, he’s equally just pleased as punch to be doing it himself. The one-time bar and motel owner feels fortunate to still be chasing the finish line, having picked up the sport competitively at the age of 68. “I never did track at (Vancouver College),

and it wasn’t until I was 68 that I kind of got into it,” he recalled. “We were down in Arizona and I got sick and tired of running by myself, so I signed up for a race. “I finished dead-last, and by the end of the finish line my track suit was falling off.” Although he still ran recreationally, it wasn’t until nine years later that he saw a race result he liked – when he crossed the finish line first. “Suddenly, I was beating guys I’d been running with for nine years.” It’s easy to focus on the now and somewhat
fascinating story of an octagenarian sprinting for the fun of it. As someone who has seen too many friends and acquaintances suffer poor health and die too young, Lesage’s own story is fuel for thought. Marrying Mary Lou four years out of high school, he found a career in managing vending machines around the city – mostly selling cigarettes. For today’s younger generation, the heavy smoking habits of past generations is a weird picture, but it was reality in the 1950s and ’60s. A smoker then himself, Lesage remembers just dropping it one day as if on a whim. “I went to some ‘doo when I was young, and I said to my pals that I was quitting at midnight – and I did.That was that.” After running a bar and a motel, Lesage picked up flying. He went from piloting a single engine airplane to a helicopter, and with less than 100 hours of experience, found himself called to do a rare rescue of a woman trapped on a half-submerged vehicle in 1982 beside the Hope-Princeton Highway. “I only had maybe 80 hours (flying experience in the helicopter) but it was kind of a panic job.The only choice I had was to drop a sling down, where a fellow fitted it around the woman and (I) had to pull her out and put her on the road. “I had never lifted anyone up, but there was a guy directing me from the ground... Someone took a picture of this as we did it, and the whole thing was on CBC. “I got a medal out of it.” Since grounded, Lesage finds running to be a safer hobby. In 2007, he was the provincial master athlete of the year. Over the past seven years, his times have placed him as high as Continued on page 10

Eagle earns Lee Leaf title
Burnaby golfer rallies to take junior golf tour event of four-over 76, where two birdies were balanced out by two double-bogeys, Lee started the second day two strokes back of the leader. On the par-5 seventh hole, he got onto the green in two and sank the putt, which lifted him into the lead. He would birdie four more holes before the day was done, finishing one-over par on the round, and at 149, five-over for the tournament. “The fact that I can hit my driver 300 yards and get it in two on most of the par fives also helped me achieve some vital birdies,” added Lee. Surrey’s Justin Bjornson sat second overall, while Burnaby’s Denby Carswell placed fourth, after rounds of 79 and 82 for a 161 total. In the bantam boys divi-
sion, 14-year-old Andy Luo matched Vancouver’s Cole Bowering shot-for-shot through 36 holes, forcing a playoff. On the first extra hole, Bowering took it by a shot. Luo’s second-place result after the playoff was a result of a strong second round, where he erased a four-shot deficit to pull even.Three birdies on the final day helped level the field and force an extra hole. He finished the tournament with a two-day total of 153 (79, 74). In the 15-18 girls division, Emily Xu was fairly consistent with rounds of 79 and 80 (159) to finish 17 shots back of winner Susan Xiao of Surrey. Xu placed eighth overall. In under-15 girls, Burnaby’s Luna Lu finished 12th overall.
Senior runs for the love of it
Continued from page 23 fourth in world rankings. While he was sidelined five years ago with a slipped disc in his back, he maintained a level of activity despite the pain.Then suddenly, his health improved and things all fit together again. “It was a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy,” said Lesage. “It got to be so debilitating, but then it went away. I could feel it getting better. I was getting faster and sleeping longer. And then, suddenly, I was
running my old times again.” A multiple record holder and medal winner from various masters events including the B.C. 55+ Games, Lesage knows there will be few contestants in his 85-89 men’s division. He wishes there were more who could run the race, never mind beat his typical sub-20-second time. “I thoroughly enjoy running – I could do it every day,” he said. “I push the training hard, but if there was no race, I’d just run.”

Burnaby’s Ryan Lee was on his game, especially on the second round, en route to topping the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Humber College PGM Classic at Morgan Creek Golf Course in Surrey last week. The 11-year-old golfer fired rounds of 76 and 73 to capture first overall in the boys peewee division, winning by four strokes. Giving him a handle on the lead began with putting. “In my opinion, I think that my highlight in this event was getting an eagle on the seventh hole because I was one back of the lead, and then I drained that putt to lead by one,” Lee said in a statement. “The key reasons for my victory was my good – but sometimes lucky – putts on every single hole.” After an opening round
