‘HUGE PROBLEM’

Forced out by rats “I went downstairs and told my husband,‘Move your car. I gotta get out of here.’ ” Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby woman who’s been sleeping in a tent in her backyard with her 11-yearold son for the last week wants her neighbours to be mindful of attracting rats. Teresa Anderson has owned her Edmonds area home for more than two decades. She tells the NOW that rats have been a problem in the community for years, with rats breeding out of nearby abandoned homes on 14th Avenue. “There’s a huge problem.You just stand outside and they’re walking in front of you. It’s disgusting.” The rodents became a problem in the winter, Anderson adds, when they started to nest in the insulation underneath her floors. “We didn’t even know.Then, in November, we started smelling something weird. I blamed it on my husband’s riding gear.” An exterminator was called in, but no rats were caught. Earlier this month, Anderson fell asleep upstairs and awoke to scratching in her attic. “I’m staring at the wall, and all of a sudden, a rat from under my son’s bedroom area ran down the stairs,” she says. “I went downstairs and told my husband, ‘Move your car. I gotta get out of here.’” For nearly three weeks, Anderson has been sleeping at friends’ houses, in her car,

and most recently, in a tent she pitched in the backyard. One of her sons sleeps there, one sleeps at grandma’s house and the other has been told to “pack your bags” and move into the tent. Her husband, meanwhile, has taken time off from work to rip out the insulation in the floors. Due to the smell of urine and fecal matter, the mother of three says she’s developed a lung infection and has been put on inhalers and antihistamines. “The thing is, no one is affected here except me,” says Anderson. When she has to go to the bathroom, she Continued on page 8

Land deal pits local legion prez against provincial leadership By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

A great divide has developed between a North Burnaby legion’s executive and the provincial body over a proposed land deal. The proposal is one Branch 148 president Dave Taylor believes is a bad one. But B.C./Yukon Command president Glenn Hodge has served notice he will sign it for the branch because it’s “not going to get a better deal.” The genesis of the rift goes back to 2012. Branch 148 on Hastings Street was seeking a way to remain viable in the wake of an aging and dwindling membership. So the executive went looking for a partner to develop the five-lot property on the south side of Hastings between Rosser and Madison avenues. With the help of Dominion Command, the national Legion body, Epta Properties was chosen in 2013. In that agreement, said Taylor, the branch was to receive a four-storey section of the development as payment for the property. The branch would receive a new canteen and offices as well as space it could lease out to help pay expenses, including rising property and utility taxes. “It turned out we ended up turning the property over to Epta on an agreement that wasn’t worth the paper it was written on,” said Taylor, 69, a retired tow truck driver. The expectation was the project would be completed by the summer of 2015. The only thing that’s been done is the demolition of the branch buildings and blue fencing installed around the property’s perimeter. “They didn’t build anything. They kept coming up with every excuse under the sun,” said Taylor. It all came to a head in 2016. The branch held a $4.75-million mortgage against the property and the company wanted Taylor to sign off on a bigger

SPLIT: Burnaby Legion Branch 148 president Dave Taylor stands next to a piece of property on Hastings Street in Burnaby that was supposed to be developed and provide a new home for the legion as payment for the property. Changes to the original proposal since 2012 have led Taylor to believe the current deal is not fair and he is refusing to sign off on the arrangement. But B.C./Yukon Command president Glenn Hodge says he will sign the deal because the branch is ‘not going to get a better deal.’ PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER one. “There was no start date (for construction) in sight. That’s when I said no. That’s when Beedie got involved.” The B.C./Yukon Command laid out three options for the branch membership. They could continue with Epta, sue Epta or bring Beedie Development Group on board. However, Taylor said Beedie was only willing to provide the branch with a 2,500-square-foot unit. At a meeting on Oct. 23, 2016, 43 of 45 branch members voted for the Beedie option. But Taylor maintains that vote was done under duress. He said a transcript and tape of that meeting reveals B.C./Yukon Command treasurer Jim Diack told the membership to agree

to the Beedie option or the branch’s charter would be pulled. Since then, said Taylor, Beedie’s proposal has changed and reduces the branch to a 2,100-squarefoot space, with a value of $1.6 million, and $400,000 to fit it out. “We’ve gone from $5 million worth of value down to two. And the property has risen in value since then considerably,” said Taylor. Because Beedie’s latest proposal doesn’t match what the membership voted for last October, and his belief the property is being undervalued when it comes to the return the branch is to receive, Taylor has refused to sign off on the deal. Beedie’s valuation of the property, done by Cush-

man & Wakefield in June 2016, was $5.5 million. Taylor said an appraisal he sought pegged it at just over $7 million, while

praisal puts the worth of the five lots on Hastings at only $1.1 million each. B.C. Assessment, however, lists the Legion

They’re only giving us a section of the building out of the goodness of their bloody hearts. There’s something wrong.

Epta’s appraiser set it at $9.25 million in August 2016. Taylor pointed out even the small residential lot his nearby home sits on was assessed at nearly $1.2 million by B.C. Assessment. So he doesn’t understand how Beedie’s ap-

property’s value as of July 1, 2016, at $4.75 million. But Taylor said when the assessments were first announced in January the property’s value was set at $6,461,000. “How (Beedie) did that, what they said about the land (to get the assessment

reduced), I don’t know,” said Taylor. The branch president said he recently talked to a man who bought a 33foot lot near Hastings and Gamma for $1.6 million. “So how can our five lots be worth $4.75 million?” said Taylor. “I might as well go outside and talk to the lamppost. Between Command and Beedie, they tell us we don’t own anything any more, actually. They’re only giving us a section of the building out of the goodness of their bloody hearts. There’s something wrong.” Taylor said the branch executive doesn’t know how much the taxes will be for the unit, and since it will be on the ground floor it will mean its liquor Continued on page 4

Warning: Fire danger in city remains high Cornelia Naylor

A bush fire that scorched the deck of a Burnaby house Sunday is an indication of how dry local conditions still are, according to

the Burnaby Fire Department. “This is just a reminder to everyone that the fire danger remains high,” fire Chief Joe Robertson said. Crews were called to a single family home at 20

Ellesmere Ave. at about 1:30 p.m. They arrived to find smoke and flames from bushes and trees at the back of the residence had spread to the deck next door. Engine 5 attacked the

blaze with its blitz gun. “It’s one of our heavy stream appliances that we use for throwing a lot of water really quickly,” assistant fire Chief John Titley told the NOW. There was little appar-

ent damage to the inside of the house, he said, but firefighters had to pull down part of the ceiling in one of the homes to check for fire spreading after smoke was seen coming from the soffits.

Nine trucks and 30 firefighters responded to the two-alarm blaze. A dog in a crate had to be removed from one of the houses. “He was unhurt,”Titley said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Uber gusto may be too much for NDP

This may be where the rubber hits the road in the B.C. Legislature – both figuratively and literally. On Monday, Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C. Greens, said he will reintroduce legislation to enable ridesharing in B.C. Weaver has tried this before, once in April 2016 and again in February 2017. He surely knows he might be a bit too Uber enthusiastic for his NDP

partners so early in their relationship. Prior to the election the B.C. Liberals promised to bring ‘ride sharing’ to the province. In an effort to pull in as many ‘millennial’ votes as possible, the Liberals promised folks they would be able to use Uber by Christmas.They tried to appease the taxi industry by offering cash support and relaxing some cab rules.Then transportation minister Todd Stone tried

to soften the blow by saying: “We think we are striking a balance between what the vast majority of British Columbians want … all the while doing so in a very thoughtful manner where we take our time, respect the industry that’s been there for so many generations and get this right to protect the jobs that already exist.” But the taxi industry, which is a tightknit one, didn’t buy it and did a last-minute don’t-

vote-Liberals phone/text/ email campaign. It’s hard to say whether they tipped the scales enough to lose it for the Liberals – but it sure didn’t help. And now Weaver wants to put the pedal to the metal for something the NDP support, but don’t wildly boost. And for good reason. Not only does it revive the taxi workers’ grievances, but it also throws a spotlight on the NDP’s labour commitments and

core values. The reality is Uber has cleverly branded itself as a ‘ride-sharing’ movement, when it is at best a ridehailing company. Uber customers don’t share a ride, they use the app to order one, and the driver is usually someone trying to eke out a living by mimicking a taxi-service. Meanwhile taxi drivers who are trying to make a living are left to compete with folks who are often

supplementing an income and, for the most part, avoiding licencing and insurance requirements. To be sure, Uber will eventually enter the marketplace in B.C. and the NDP is savvy enough to understand that fact and try to protect taxi driver jobs in the process. But Weaver’s gung-ho support of Uber and other ridehailing enterprises may just be a bit too keen for the NDP right now.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Now the heavy lifting begins The new B.C. NDP government has set some lofty expectations in all kinds of policy areas – those expectations tend to accumulate when a party spends 16 years in Opposition – and it is bound to disappoint at least some of its special interest group supporters. But it also inherited a mess of varying degrees from the departed B.C. Liberal government, notably in a couple of Crown corporations. The worst one of the lot, as I have pointed out here before, is the Insurance Corporation of B.C. Attorney General David Eby is reviewing an assessment of ICBC carried out recently by ErnstYoung, and intends to cast an even wider net as he goes looking for solutions. It’s not an easy mess to fix.

He will have some hard decisions to make… The former government drained ICBC of well more than a billion dollars from 2010 to 2015 and weakened its capital reserves.The raid on the Crown’s bottom line falsely strengthened the government’s bottom line at the expense of ICBC’s financial security. On top of that, the cost of settling accidents and repairing vehicles damaged in accidents has skyrocketed in recent years, to the point that a discussion about

“capping” the amount that can be awarded in most accidents has to begin. I don’t envy Eby’s task. He will have some hard decisions to make, and some may undoubtedly be unpopular. It’s a price he may have to pay to keep auto insurance rates from increasing more than 30 per cent. Another Crown corporation presenting some challenges for rookie Energy Minister Michelle Mungall is B.C. Hydro.While in nowhere near the bad fiscal shape that ICBC finds itself, B.C. Hydro has more than a few issues to address that were kicked down the road by the former government. Chief among them is B.C. Hydro’s continued reliance on “deferred” payment of some expenses. It’s a practice that alarms the province’s auditor general and the amount of money involved now reaches billions of dollars. B.C. Hydro’s debt has also rapidly increased (it’s expected to almost double from 2010 to 2019, to $23 billion) largely because of required upgrades and maintenance of its massive network of dams, generation facilities, power plants and transmission lines (even power poles). Mungall will have a daunting task keeping electricity rates frozen for any length of time. On the high expectations front,Transportation Minister Claire Trevena set the bar pretty high when she was the NDP’s B.C. Ferries critic, demanding Continued on page 7

Opinionnow ‘Natural’ label doesn’t always mean good for you Dear Editor: When I see a grocery store item claiming “now made with REAL MILK,” I kind of wonder what the alternative ingredients were, which the real milk is said to be replacing. It would be nice to live in a society where the food we purchase is natural unless otherwise identified on the package. For example, we can now purchase food that makes a claim to fame as being “natural” – a caption which may have questionable validity at that – and yet we are expected to ignore common food additives known to be dangerous to our health, such as artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, common food dyes, sodium sulfite, sodium nitrate/sodium nitrite, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), to mention some of the more well-known culprits. How about asking our public servants in the respective government departments to authorize a change, whereby truly clean, natural, health-supporting foods are supplied as the standard, and food with additives must clearly advertise their stated claims, e.g., “Now with trans fat and sodium sulfite.” Or “Zero natural ingredients.” Or perhaps, “This product is a significant source of synthetic, petroleumbased additives.” Eating naturally grown, organic whole foods is a wonderful ideal, but the busy pace of modern life ought to accommodate a selection of health-

sustaining convenience foods. I invite the food scientists and the advertisers to take up the challenge. April Goodman, by email

Better to try and solve the problems than complain

Continued from page 6 the government make the ferry system part of the highway system. Such a move would require a huge lift in the government subsidy of B.C. Ferries, and so far she hasn’t said the new government will actually go that far. The list goes on: health care wait times must be reduced, the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge must disappear, kids have to stop dying while in government care, the K-12 education system must be given hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding, scores of daycare centres must be built, and on and on. It’s a long list but as an NDP cabinet minister tells me: “I’d rather be trying to solve these problems than just complaining about them.” The NDP government will undoubtedly come up short on some of these expectations. But then again, governments always do. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

says she has to put on a respirator. Anderson is asking her neighbours to “take a really good look” at their properties, and make sure garbage isn’t sitting out. Gordon Stewart, Fraser Health’s manager of environmental health services in Burnaby, tells the NOW there have been some reported sightings of rats in the Edmonds neighbourhood, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. “In an urban area, we’re going to find rats, there’s no surprise.What homeowners need to do is protect their property.” That includes eliminating food sources, he says, such as tending to fruit trees regularly and picking fruit whenever it’s ripe, to avoid it falling on the ground.The same goes with birdfeed-

ers, and making sure seeds aren’t dropping down. “If there’s bushes they can hide under, if there’s woodpiles, if there’s sheds, wood foundations, or if they’re concrete, they’ve got cracks that rodents can go borrow in there, they’ve got to eliminate those hiding and nesting places.” Stewart notes there is a rat baiting program in Burnaby. Folks who have a clean yard, don’t have a garden, but still have rats, can contact Fraser Health. Other than that, he says the health authority does educate the public about what it can do to avoid rodent infestation by providing pamphlets and other materials. Should a neighbour not keep their yard tidy, Stewart says the City of Burnaby does have an unsightly premises bylaw, where people not found in compliance can be fined.

Decorating city boxes keeps vandals away By Tereza Verenca

It appears wrapping the city’s electrical and irrigation kiosks with a more aesthetically pleasing cover is deterring the number of graffiti-related incidents. That’s according to Steve Bruneau, the superintendent of parks operations. “When you put the wrap on there, the graffiti pretty well is gone; it stops.When they’re green or brown, they’re blank canvases,” he says, noting the wrapped boxes have landscapes of

greenery and lakes. There are 250 kiosks in the system and 50 of them have already been wrapped, adds Bruneau.The goal is to have them all done in two to three years. “It would be appreciated if the tagging of the boxes stops because it does cost a lot of time and efforts to taxpayers and for the crews involved.” The parks, recreation and cultural services department has asked council to approve $25,000 from the gaming funds to continue with the wrap program.The

expense is included in the city’s 2017-2021 annual financial plan. Bruneau tells the NOW four more boxes will be finished this year, another four will be “prepped” and six will be replaced due to aging. “We like to keep the city as clean as possible so we do address it,” he says. “We found with the wraps, it really eliminates the tagging because there’s a background there.They can’t see their work, they can’t show it off.”

In 1942, more than 8,000 Japanese Canadians were detained in barns at Hastings Park before being sent to internment sites in the B.C. Interior or to work camps across the country. This often forgotten time in the province’s history is front and centre in a new exhibition coming to the Nikkei National Museum in September. Hastings Park 1942, is an “experiential, dramatic glimpse into that tragic episode of Canada’s history,” notes a press release. The exhibition will include Universal Limited Theatre’s show Japanese Problems, a look at life for Japanese Canadians living at Hastings Park.The performance, directed by Joanna Garfinkle and starring artist Yoshié Bancroft, takes place in a makeshift livestock stall, meant to be a recreation of what the detainees lived in at the park. “As a teen, I would go to the PNE without knowing the historical significance of Hastings Park,”Yoshie said in the release. “I began to wonder how many people go to the PNE without knowing that 8,000 Canadians were moved through the site during (the Second World War). It’s not a secret and yet it’s not necessarily common knowledge, and that’s a problem.” Japanese Problem is at the Nikkei museum on Sunday, Oct. 15 and Thursday, Nov. 16. Folks wanting to see it sooner, can catch it at Hastings Park daily from Sept. 22 to 30. (Performances are by donation with a suggested donation of $7.) For more information and to reserve tickets, go to www.japa neseproblem.ca. Hastings Park 1942 runs Sept. 30 to Jan. 13, 2018, at the museum.There are special events planned throughout the exhibition. For more info, go to www.nikkeiplace. org.The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. by donation. KIMONO GOES DIGITAL The Nikkei National Museum’s Kimono Culture exhibit will live on long after

TRAGIC EPISODE: In 1942, more than 8,000 Japanese Canadians were held in livestock stalls at Hastings Park before being sent to internment camps in the Interior. Next month, the Nikkei National Museum will explore this time in history in a new exhibition: Hastings Park 1942. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Nikkei museum and Universal Limited Theatre, who are producing a performance piece called Japanese Problem to run as part of Hastings Park 1942. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED it’s gone thanks to a grant from Metro Vancouver Regional District. The Burnaby-based organization was among 31 groups awarded funds through Metro Vancouver’s cultural grant program, which awards arts and culture organizations money every year to help them cover costs associated with running or creating new programs up to a maximum of $10,000, according to a Metro Vancouver press release. The Nikkei museum re-

ceived $3,000, which it is using to create an online app called Kimono Play, of a digital dress-up game. “It’s going to be educational in that it talks about the different seasons and the different styles of kimono and gives a little bit of historical info also,” said Nikkei director-curator Sherri Kajiwara. Kimono Culture:The Beauty of Japanese Culture Viewed Through the Lens of Kimono is on display at the Nikkei National Museum until Sept. 3. Kajiwara

said she expects the app will be ready for public use later this month or in early September. The Nikkei museum is at 6688 Southoaks Cres.The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation. Get more info at www.nik keiplace.org.

KEEP WILDLIFE SAFE This little cutie is a fledgling Pacific-slope Flycatcher. She was admitted after her family nested in an outdoor oven that was not thoroughly examined before being turned on. While the rest of her family perished, she escaped relatively unharmed and will now grow up at the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. With outdoor kitchens becoming more and more popular, the association urges people to keep an eye out for their wild neighbours. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Top plants as gifts Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

There is an abundance of early autumn birthdays in our family, mostly on my wife’s side.We like to joke her parents avoided New Year’s Eve parties and celebrated on their own. Ha! Celebration ‘season’ seems to be with us yearround. As a close friend of mine likes to remind me, the older we get the more we should celebrate. In our latter years, we attend enough celebrations of life to be reminded he is right. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, the birth of a new child or the 150th birthday of a country, I have some ideas for you. Give plants that make a statement about the occasion or the person you are celebrating. Here is my list of top six: 1. Happy Returns. A daylily so vigorous and long lived that it might outlast us. It blooms its head off most of the summer, too. Right now, you might find one at a garden retailer that has some colour on it.Winter hardy to zone two, it loves the sun and is almost completely insect and disease free, in my experience. Each year the clump of roots gets a bit bigger and more colourful.This is the perfect gift for the gardener and non-gardener alike. I planted several Happy Returns in my garden 12 years ago, and I have had many happy returns since. 2. Forget-me-not.This plant is so easy to grow we often overlook it, but the name provides a hint to its gift-worthiness. Early last spring, I photographed our first born grand child, then a

mere four months old, kicking it up in a bed of forget-me-nots. She has since learned to walk and wreaks havoc most everywhere she goes now, pulling things off shelves and shoving everything in her mouth as youngsters tend to do. Indeed, each visit she makes to our place is hard to forget. Sow the seeds now for April blossoms. Pinch the seeds off the end of new growth in early May and spread them throughout the garden where you want them to grow. And keep in mind that a packet of forget-me-not seeds will set you back about $2, so you can afford to be generous and place these in the envelope of a non-electronic card. An oldfashioned plant in an ‘oldfashioned’ greeting card. 3. Fall blooms. How about a plant that flowers reliably on the occasion you are celebrating? Right now, Butterfly Bush (buddleia) is an excellent choice for a garden up to zone five, as it is in bloom and will be for another month or two. It is fragrant and is my Number 1 butterfly plant.There are many other plants that bloom in late August, including Sedum Spectabile (“you are fabulous Spectabile Darling!”). 4. Incrediball hydrangea. Remember the oldfashioned Annabelle hydrangea that everyVictorian style home had growing in the front yard?Well, forget it.This new introduction of hydrangea is an exciting addition that will knock your gardening socks off (or the noisemaker from between your teeth). It grows in sun or partial shade up to about 1.5 metres and features late season creamy white flowers about the size of your head.

Really? Compare and see. Hardy to zone four. 5. Rose of Sharon. While it would help if the recipient’s name is Sharon, these hardy (zone four) flowering shrubs are a winner.You see them in bloom all over established neighbourhoods right now.They look remarkably like hibiscus, the tropical plant we see everywhere.That’s because they are hibiscus, just a winter hardy version of it. They seem to bloom forever (August through early October) and hummingbirds love them. But look for the single flowering varieties if you want hummers as the doubles are hard for them to access. 6. Sugar or rubrum maple.There had to be a couple of trees on my list. And they must be native, reliable (insect and disease resistant) and useful in most urban landscapes. Enter the sugar maple (made famous by its sweet sap and the image of its leaf on our national flag) and the rubrum maple, which is the true ‘red’ maple, unlike the Crimson King/Norway maple imposter. Rubrum turns brilliant red in the fall. For a real show look for the cultivar autumn blaze. Outstanding! Happy Birthday Canada. With National Tree Day about a month away (Wednesday, Sept. 27) I thought I would plant this seed with you today. Still looking for something to celebrate? Say Happy Birthday to Canada: plant a native tree. Mark Cullen is lawn and garden expert for Home Hardware, member of the Order of Canada, author and broadcaster.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BACKPACK

Finding the right backpack is an essential component of back-to-school shopping. Children may have their own ideas of what’s in style, but parents should look for backpacks that are functional before factoring in style. Marrying form and function together can be challenging, but it’s necessary to prevent students from developing back problems. But parents must give consideration to more than just the size of their children’s backpacks. Depending on school schedules, students may be carrying backpacks for up to 10 hours per day, five days per week. Backpacks may be filled with several pounds of stuff, such as textbooks, binders, laptops, and other supplies, potentially leading to injury. Improperly sized, worn and overstuffed backpacks can injure joints and lead to neck, back and shoulder injuries. They also may affect children’s posture.

CHOOSE A STREAMLINED MODEL Select a backpack that will get the job done without much added bulk. Many backpacks have been designed to hold technological devices as more and more schools integrate technology into the classroom. A less bulky bag might be lighter and easy to carry. CONSIDER SHOPPING AT A SPORTING GOODS STORE Employees at camping and sporting goods retailers understand how to fit backpacks for hikers and outdoor adventurers. They can help measure a student and find a pack that will fit his or her body frame. Also, these retailers may have a wider selection of Carillon Preschool Program • (ages 2-4) backpacks than some other stores, increasing the chances Carillon Red of finding the right fit.

BACKPACKS SHOULD BE LOADED PROPERLY Heavy items should be near the center bottom to distribute the load, rather than placed on top. Students should only carry what is necessary, visiting lockers or desks as needed to lighten their packs. Backpack fit and functionality is something parents should take seriously when shopping for school supplies.

SELECT A PACK WITH A WAIST STRAP According to the American Chiropractic Association, the body is not designed to carry items hanging from shoulders. By using the waist strap in conjunction with taut shoulder straps, students can distribute the weight in their backpacks over their hip bones instead of the shoulders. The padded and adjustable shoulder straps

Steelers BCIT grad rises to NHL radio booth hit camp Former Burnaby Express volunteer picked to do play-by-play for theVancouver Canucks running Mario Bartel

Youth and speed are always in demand in junior hockey circles. The Grandview Steelers feel they’ve got a good dose of both exiting the first stage of training camp, building towards the Sept. 6 Pacific Junior B Hockey League season opener. Looking at replacing up to a dozen regulars from last year’s lineup, the Burnaby-based club has endured a healthy camp and begun the exhibition slate as some tough choices loom next week. Head coach Stevan Matic said the influx of players vying for positions bring an impressive mix of skills to the table. “We have a good mix.We have a couple of players bring some size and grit, we’ve got some who also bring a lot of speed and skill,” said Matic, entering his second season as the Steelers head coach. “We will have a very balanced lineup that no matter who we put out we’ll be very confident with what they’re able to do.” There were some big holes to fill from last year’s squad, which marched all the way to the league semifinals before bowing out. Gone are aged-out captain Lucas Mercer and assistant captain Liam Cumberbirch, both defencemen, and forwards Keito Lee and Adam Rota off the top line. Expected losses include Jacob Siebenga, who was second in team scoring as a rookie, Mateo Coltellaro and Joseph Santalucia – each getting good looks at higher levels. The team also doesn’t expect starting goalie Matteo PalerChow back, likely making the Powell River junior A roster. A handful of other players are vying for spots at junior camps. So while the finished product remains unknown, Matic is confident those coming up will be a good complement to those who do remain and help replenish a roster that went 28-9-2-5 last year. “Our goal every season is to, No. 1, continue to get better as the season goes along.,” said Matic. “Get in the playoffs is the second goal and obviously try to win one round and go from there.We definitely expect to be a strong team again this season.” The returning core begins up front with Nico Bruno, Braedan Gurney and Jeff Wong, who were among the team’s offensive leaders. Bruno finished third in team scoring with 12 goals and 27 assists, while Wong equalled Bruno’s goal total. Gurney netted 17 goals to finish third on the team in that department. Continued on page 23

The new voice of the Vancouver Canucks has been doing hockey play-by-play for 24 years. Not so surprising until you learn that Brendan Batchelor is only 28 years old. Yes, the BCIT grad was that kid, providing running commentary when he was playing street hockey in the driveway of his parents’ home in Coquitlam, or playing table hockey in the basement, or even watching NHL video games on the TV. Last week those playful game calls of childhood paid off for Batchelor – big time. He was officially named as the lead play-by-play man for Canucks radio broadcasts on the team’s new radio home, Sportsnet 650. It was also announced his colour commentator will be former Canucks goalie and Hockey Night in Canada analyst Corey Hirsch. The new gig is the fulfilment of a lifelong dream that started when he’d emulate the radio voices he listened to growing up: Jim Robson, John Shorthouse and Jim Hughson. “I was huge into hockey,” Batchelor said of his childhood. “That was always my On the air: Brendan Batchelor, shown above preparing before a Vancouver Giants junior hockey game, is getting ready to follow in the sport.You’d watch the games footsteps of such legends as Jim Robson, Jim Hughson and John Shorthouse as radio play-by-play man for the Vancouver Canucks at the on TV and then go out and new sports station 650 AM.

Burnaby’s Luo lines up eagles in MJT win Burnaby’s Andy Luo was as hot as the weather last week in capturing the bantam boys title at the Maple Junior Tour’s 12th annual Odlum Brown Classic-PGA of B.C. Junior Championship in Surrey. He was the lone golfer to post sub-70 rounds on each day, winning by 10 shots. The 14-year-old Luo staked out an early lead then ran away with it, behind back-to-back rounds of 66 on the par-72 course. On each round, he registered one eagle, in-

cluding on the par-4 fourth hole on the opening day. Shooting 69 behind five birdies, he grabbed a two-stroke lead after one day. The best was yet to come, as Luo ramped it up on Day 2 with an eagle on the par-5 eighth hole and a sizzling 32 over the front nine. Coupled with five birdies and just one bogey, Luo finished the second day with a six-under par 66. On the final day, he equalled that with six birdies and an eagle on the 12th hole, with a

second consecutive round of six-under par, and 201 over three days. His nearest competitor, Billy Zhang of Coquitlam, was 10 strokes back. Placing in a tie for fourth was Leo Harper, also of Burnaby, who registered rounds of 74, 75 and 71 for a three-day total of 220. In the boys peewee division, Burnaby’s Jay Xu finished in a tie for fifth at 232 (78, 74, 80), 17 shots back of divisional winner Justin Bjornson of Surrey.

Mawji moves on to quarter-ﬁnals Burnaby’s Hanif Mawji is one of eight Canadians who advanced to the quarter-finals at the Americas Boccia championships in Cali, Colombia. The 49-year-old posted the second-best mark on the Canadian team for BC1 classification, defeating teammate Josee Lamothe 4-1, and won his final pool game 3-2 against No. 18ranked Eduardo Ventura of Mexico. Mawji, who finished sec-

ond overall in the preliminary round behind Lamothe, was recently ranked eighth in the world in the sport for athletes with cerebral palsy. Also advancing to the quarter-finals were Canadians Eric Bussiere, Marco Dispaltro, Adam Dukovich, Bruno Garneau, Alison Levine and Philippe Lord. The tournament continues this week in Colombia.

Camp brings change

Continued from page 11 On defence, veterans Cole MacEwen and Kristofor Zlomislic are expected to take on bigger roles, as is Brett Cox. The goalie situation, however, could go from a definite strength to a big question mark, if both Paler-Chow and understudy Cale Dolan advance to junior A. Dolan is pencilled in as the likely No. 1 starter, after winning all seven of his starts last year with an impeccable 1.00

goals-against average. But he is attending the Merritt Centennials training camp. “We have four kids who are trying out, but you definitely want an older goalie who has some experience to provide stability back there,” general manager Aldo Bruno said. In the Steelers’ first exhibition test, they fell 5-2 to Richmond last weekend. They host North Vancouver on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Cheers at the end of the line: Runners were greeted by well-wishers at the end of the Rocky Mountain Soap women’s run and walk event, held Sunday at Burnaby Lake. This was the first year the race was held in Burnaby, after starting up in Canmore, Alta., nine years ago. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Detached home sales flounder, failing to reach asking price

BURNABY/TRI-CITIES HOME SALES* Attached Detached

85 17

MEDIAN SALE PRICE** It may have been partly due to the BC Day long weekend, but there were a paltry 17 detached home sales in the entire Burnaby/Tri-Cities area the week of August 7-13 (registered as of August 22). That’s almost half the already-low figures of the previous week, with the market throughout Greater Vancouver slowing dramatically as buyers vacationed. Gone are the heady days of just over a year ago, when home sellers could expect their properties to go for markedly above asking price in multiple-bid scenarios. Only three of those 17 detached home sales went for above asking, with the remaining 14 all failing to reach list price. The median sale price of detached homes the same week remained robust, at $1,350,000 – but at 17

homes, the sample is so small that this figure is highly changeable week to week. By individual city, this figure ranged from $1,850,000 in Burnaby South to $922,500 in Port Coquitlam. Continuing the trend of two very different markets, the Burnaby/TriCities attached-home sector fared considerably better, slowing only slightly week over week to 85 units sold. Thirtyone of those sales went for under their asking price, 11 sold for exactly their sticker price and 43 fetched more than they were listed for. The median sale price of condos, townhomes and duplexes registered as sold August 7-13 was $539,000, slightly down from the previous week. This ranges from a low of $442K in Port Coquitlam to $730K in Burnaby South. And breaking the overall figure out by property type, the median sale price

of a condo that week was $499,500, compared with $695K for townhomes, rowhomes and duplexes. The most expensive condo sold the same week was a $1.35 million luxury penthouse at the SFU campus in Burnaby North, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and truly breathtaking panoramic views. If that’s a bit outside your budget, take heart from the lowest-priced home sale that week (excluding manufactured homes) – a perfectly serviceable 660-square-foot, one-bed condo in an upgraded PoCo building that went for under $170K. Burnaby South saw the region’s priciest two home sales that week, with the top-priced transaction a $2.1 million detached family house in a prime Metrotown location.
