Chevron seeks pipeline priorityWanda [email protected]

Chevron Canada Limited is applying to the National Energy Board (NEB) for priority access to capacity on the Trans Mountain pipeline to ensure adequate supply of crude oil to its Burnaby re nery.

The company was ling its application June 19 for “priority destination designation” which, if approved, would place its requirements second in priority behind shippers that contract for xed volumes on the pipeline, said Chevron Canada spokesman Ray Lord in an interview.

Currently, Chevron is in the third level of priority, in which each month shippers “nominate” or request the amount of volume they wish to ship on the pipeline. If pipeline owner Kinder Morgan receives requests for more capacity than it can accommodate, all the shippers are reduced and equally apportioned.

Lord said that apportionment has been ongoing since late 2010 and at times, Chevron’s request has been reduced by more than 70 per cent, meaning it has received 70 per cent less crude oil than it had asked for.

Garth Prothero and Patrick Byron are jockeying for the chance to cut the last strip of long grass in a yard on Patterson Avenue. It’s a nice problem for their supervisor, Jackie Zhuang, to have.

He says a few encouraging words to his charges to smooth things over and each will get an opportunity to push the mower.

Enthusiasm has never been a question for Zhuang’s squad, which is comprised of adults with

developmental disabilities from L’Arche Greater Vancouver.

They are Neighbours Helping Neighbours, a service that provides lawn and garden maintenance, household chores like garbage and snow removal and light carpentry to seniors and others with physical disabilities in Burnaby, New Westminster and East Vancouver. They also help out with Meals on Wheels and serve coffee at the food bank at Southside Community Church in the Edmonds area.

Each member of the team is

trained to operate machinery like a lawn mower, weed whacker and hedge trimmer, as well as Food Safe practices.

They’re meticulous about wearing the proper safety equipment, gloves, safety glasses and steel-toed boots.

When they go out on calls in their specially marked extended cab pickup, they’re accompanied by Zhuang, who is the program’s coordinator, and a community volunteer.

The free program started in January 2008. Last year it helped 65 clients

with more than 575 hours of work. They also put in 135 volunteer hours at community organizations.

It’s a perfect match with L’Arche’s mission to build relationships in the community with developmentally disabled adults, says Denise Haskett, L’Arche’s executive director.

“They have a real sense of contributing to the larger community.”

Maggie Marquardt has seen rst hand the value of Neighbours Helping Neighbours.

Korean War service

The Korean War may not have the pro le and History Channel documentaries of the other great con icts that marked the last century, but the toll it exacted was no less destructive and heart-wrenching.

More than 26,000 Canadians served in the three years of the Korean War; 516 of them perished and ve have never been found.

The contribution and sacri ce of those veterans will be marked in a special service Saturday at the Ambassador of Peace Monument in Burnaby’s Central Park. The date is signi cant as it’s 62 years and two days since the start of the war, on June 25, 1950.

But, says Sonny Son, the past president of the Korea Veterans Association Western Canada Chapter, the occasion is as much about the future as the past.

“We’re looking for peace and harmony,” says Son, one of the memorial’s organizers. “We have to let the young people know we need peace.”

The ceremony is at 11 a.m. After, members of the Korean community will host a picnic lunch. The Ambassador of Peace Monument is located next to the swimming pool at Central Park.

An outreach worker with South Burnaby Neighbourhood House, she enlisted the program three years ago to set up a coffee service for people lined up for the food bank at Southside Community Church.

The team from L’Arche makes their own coffee, in three big Thermos dispensers, and transports a hodge-podge collection of mugs they’ve acquired from thrift stores in a green plastic milk crate. Their arrival is greeted with smiles in the long line that curls around the church.

“They’re so sweet, and they’re very welcoming,” says Marquardt of the morning’s coffee crew. “It’s an image of hospitality for people in a dif cult situation.”

The 40-minute stop at the food bank empties the coffee dispensers and all the mugs are dutifully returned, with much gratitude, to the plastic bin.

After loading their equipment in the back of the pick-up, the Neighbours Helping Neighbours are off to New West where they’ll help load meal trays into cars for distribution by Meals on Wheels, then back to Burnaby to help a senior with her garbage.

In the afternoon, they load up the heavy lawn care equipment, lace up their safety boots and head for another regular customer.

The variety of the work keeps everybody engaged and enthusiastic, says Zhuang. And, most importantly, smiling.

Chevron has applied for the priority destination designation twice before—when apportionment was “nowhere as severe as we’re seeing now”—but in both cases withdrew them when shippers agreed to try different methods to improve the situation.

But that hasn’t had the desired result and Chevron has recently had to augment the supply of crude it gets via the pipeline with crude shipped in by tanker trucks, Lord said, adding the company is also preparing to bring some in by rail.

“We have made some changes to our infrastructure here to allow bringing crude in by truck but it would never be suf cient to compensate for the apportionment on the pipeline,” Lord said. “And of course, the pipeline, as we would suggest, is the safest and the most economical way to get crude to the re nery.”

Lord stressed that Chevron’s application is entirely separate from and not expected to affect Kinder Morgan’s upcoming application to the NEB for its proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

If Chevron is successful, its priority designation would apply to the pipeline’s current con guration and its future expansion, he said, “because we have no assurance that even if the pipeline were to be expanded in the future that we would have any greater assurance that we would have access to the supplies we need.”

Chevron believes it quali es for the two pre-conditions for the priority designation—it needs to be connected to the pipeline and it needs to demonstrate it’s not capable of being supplied economically through alternative sources.

The North Burnaby re nery has always used Canadian crude in its operations, Lord said.

Chevron feels the re nery should be recognized as an important supplier of fuels to the province, hence its application to the NEB.

The re nery produces 30 per cent of transportation fuels used in B.C., 25 per cent of the province’s diesel, and 40 per cent of the jet fuel used at YVR.

It employs about 400 people—247 Chevron employees and another 200 or so contractors—and spends upwards of $70 million a year on locally-sourced goods and services.

And without the re nery, more fuel would have to be shipped into B.C. in other ways. “It’s a security of supply issue as well to have a re nery here.”

Chevron’s need for more capacity is an indication of the need for an expansion of the pipeline, said Lexa Hobenshield, Kinder Morgan Canada’s manager of external relations.

“We’ve proposed a major expansion to our pipeline

to alleviate the oversubscription problems currently being experienced by our existing customers,” said Hobenshield. “If approved, the expansion will enable all existing and new customers to attain the capacity that they each require to carry on with their business.”

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERJim Bosa checks out the model of the Stratus, the rst phase of his company’s Solo development on the southwest corner of Willingdon and the Lougheed Highway.

To include four towers of condos, of ces, Whole FoodsWanda [email protected]

As a Burnaby boy, Jim Bosa has passed by the southwest corner of Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue thousands of times.

“I just saw the potential of what we could have down here,” said Bosa, now president of Appia Developments.

Working from an of ce a couple blocks away, Bosa is set to make that potential a reality with the Solo District, a four-tower community on just over six acres, set to start construction in August once nal approvals are granted by city hall.

“It’s an opportunity that came up,” said Bosa during a NewsLeader preview of the sales centre. “We’ve spent six years planning and designing for this.”

The company contemplated getting the project off the ground three or four years ago, but decided to wait until market conditions were right. Then a couple years ago, Burnaby city hall introduced its “s category” of density bonuses and Appia redesigned the project to take advantage of it.

The result is a complex of four towers, with a total of just under 1,400 homes. It will include of ces and commercial space, including the rst Whole Foods supermarket in Burnaby.

The rst phase, dubbed Stratus, will be a 45-storey, 374-unit highrise, the Whole Foods and additional retail space on the northwest corner of the site, at

Lougheed and Rosser Avenue. Phase two will be a 52-storey

tower on the northeast corner, comprised of 250,000 square feet of of ce space, additional commercial space, and a residential tower on top of it all.

The third phase will be a 39-storey highrise on the southwest corner, with 12,000 square feet of commercial, and the fourth phase, to be built when market conditions permit, will be a 43-storey structure on the southeast corner, on top of a 20,000-square-foot podium of commercial space.

In exchange for the additional density, Bosa said Appia will be providing $32 million in community amenities if all four phases go ahead—a 4,000-square-foot community space to be owned by city hall, a $2-million value to be built in phase three, and $30 million in cash to be used for amenities off site.

The condos in Stratus will have their share of sustainable features, from Modo car co-op vehicles and two years of transit passes for a certain number of units to individual gas meters for each unit, so residents pay only for what they use.

All units will have air conditioning and a geo-exchange system will be used to reduce energy costs. “We’re taking advantage of the energy the whole project produces (both retail and residential) rather than just blowing it out into the atmosphere,” Bosa said.

As for Stratus, it features an outdoor rooftop common area that includes a fenced-in dog park, tness centre, gardens and barbecue area.

The units range in size from the 475-square-foot junior one-bedrooms ($229,000) to three two-level skylofts at 1,785 square feet ($1.25 million), said Dennis Serraglio, Appia’s director of sales. Two bedroom units will range in size from 850 to 940 square feet and start at $379,000.

They all come with balconies that are larger than usual but typical for Appia projects, said Serraglio. The junior one-bedroom (essentially a studio suite with a pony wall creating a sleeping area) comes with about 80 square feet of balcony, which is not included in the oor area.

“People in the summer like to spend a lot of time outside,” he said. “It adds to the cost to build but it enhances the unit.”

And when Solo is complete, it will all complement the planned redevelopment of Brentwood Mall across Lougheed.

“[Brentwood] will be more walkable and pedestrian friendly, more of a community versus a destination mall, in and out from the parking lot,” said Bosa, stressing residents will be able to walk or take SkyTrain to their shopping and entertainment, leaving their cars, if any, at home.

While sales for Stratus will not start until mid summer, after the city grants nal approvals, the sales centre at the end of Sumas Street near Willingdon opens for public previews this Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m.

A community event will be held at the centre on July 14, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring free food, games, and entertainment for the whole family.

If all goes well, a contractor will set to work next month at our house.

Our growing family has decided more living space is needed, so we’re adding a small addition, which means demolishing the slouching garage.

Yet nothing will happen until the baby chickadees are gone.

In February, I made the colossal blunder of nailing a birdhouse to the garage wall.

I doubted we’d get tenants; after all, ours is a neighbourhood of concrete, cars and few trees.

So it was a little intoxicating to see Ma and Pa Chickadee shack up there, stuf ng twigs and moss through the little hole, or whatever they do.

And a few weeks ago as I picked some rosemary I heard some tiny little titters from the love shack. Later, we noted that Daddy bird had taken on a decidedly more serious, distracted look as he ew from coop to branch in his quest to replenish the family larder, the weight of a new family heavy on his wings.

I was told that once the chicks

hatch it’s only a matter of a couple weeks before they’re off. But this crew must be the avian equivalent of the boomerang generation. Are they building a basement suite in that little wooden box?

It makes me wonder about our own addition plans; will I one day regret making the house more spacious as I pick up my 30-year-old’s dirty sock off the oor?

Meantime, I remind my wife that construction begins the rst week of July.

She repeats her position: No hammers y till the chicks do.

As human beings, we get a little funny when it comes to wildlife, and spring casts our strange dance in sharp relief.

This month we’ve seen a mother duck in New Westminster gathering her chicks in a planter

outside an of ce building, where the little fuzzy guys swam in a cookie tin; a mother coyote in Burnaby raising pups beneath a school portable; a ribbon seal sunbathing on a slip by a cluster of oathomes near the Richmond-New Westminster border, 4,000 km from his Arctic home; and of course, there was the massive hunt for a 7.5-pound snakehead sh in a Central Park pond.

As humans, sometimes we respond with a gentle hand, sometimes with a clenched st. We are the unpredictable ones. We install ramps in hopes that ducklings will get to the sidewalk and waddle to new digs, we partially board up a crawlspace to urge coyotes to move along. Out-of-town visitors are treated on a case-by-case basis. A portly seal is admired from afar until stage fright prompts it to op back into the river. If it has creepy fangs and a reputation for attacking small pets, we’ll partially drain its pond and deploy armies of volunteers with nets to wipe it out.

I see this dynamic on my deck too, where we have two suet

feeders for the birds. There’s even a hierarchy of affection among the birds. We love seeing the Northern Flicker, the yellow nch, the blue jay ... and of course the chickadee. We tolerate the starlings. But we tap on the window angrily when we see the crow. Because they’re bad? Ugly? Less needy?

Last week, two baby chickadees showed up at the feeders, perched on the railing, fur-puffed and awkward, beaks gaping as mom stuffed them silly.

Hope was in the air; were these our babies? I was told that once they’re out, they’re out, so I thought hallelujah!

But over at the garage birdhouse the tittering continued. Sigh.

Then, peering out the kitchen window Monday night we saw a new creature at the feeder.

Furry. Grey-brown. Oh god. A rat.So long, suet. Farewell, feeders.

The nature love-in is apparently over.

How does this bode for the chickadees? We’ll see. The permit from City Hall arrives any day now...

Our strange dance with wildlife

Burnaby’s town centres are rapidly changing. Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed are rife with construction cranes as these four areas densify. The growth is particularly fast in Brentwood and Metrotown, both on SkyTrain, both a short jaunt to downtown Vancouver.

Some have voiced concern that new towers are now reaching stratospheric heights, with Metrotown’s Station Square redevelopment to have a tower of 57 storeys, and the redevelopment of Brentwood Mall eyeing a 60-storey skyscraper.

Why so tall? That’s what Metrotown-area resident Carly Franklin asked in this paper recently, and it’s a legitimate question. Won’t the in ux of new residents mean jammed libraries, community centres and parks?

As far as density goes, the plan for the town centres is no surprise. Burnaby’s Of cial Community Plan has charted the growth in these areas for decades. They were always meant to be busy, but in some ways they are only now coming to fruition. The soaring heights, though, are new.

The city now lets developers go higher on speci c sites—achieving more density—in return for building amenities for the city or paying cash in lieu.

And it’s not petty cash.The Solo project in Brentwood

will encompass four towers, and the city will get a 4,000-square-foot facility for local non pro t groups. In addition, the city will get $30 million in cash from Jim Bosa’s Appia Developments. Twenty per cent will go to Burnaby’s fund for affordable and special needs housing, which has supported worthwhile projects in the past.

The rest, $24 million, will go a long way towards building bigger, better libraries, community centres, and parks. These new shiny towers will certainly change the look and feel of the town centres. Whether a person likes the look and feel of the changing neighbourhood, well, that’s another question altogether.

Re: Market makeover (NewsLeader, June 15)

I read with interest your editorial about the Burnaby Farmers Market and its lack of a strong customer base. As a consumer, I have to agree the placement of the market at Burnaby Village Museum or at City Hall is not ideal. If one wants to walk, ride a bike or take transit to the market it is inconvenient. Returning to the town centres from the current location by bike or transit, laden with fresh produce and other products can be challenging. You point out the most successful markets tend to be found in strong, established neighbourhoods, and suggest more success would be realized in the Heights.

What your editorial fails to do is give credit to those markets themselves for being a gathering place that creates a strong community, and encourages individuals and families to get outside and shop close to home. Also, the role of SkyTrain, and good cycling and pedestrian infrastructure is essential to the

success of other markets. That said, I think the powers

that be ought to consider locating our market close to SkyTrain. Central Park near Patterson Station is one location that has not been suggested, but has the potential to not only thrive but also foster a more cohesive, caring community.

FRONT-LINE, AND PROUDAs a nurse with 41 years of

full-time nursing experience, and as a member of the “My Bby H” Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee, I nd it surprising that Mayor Derek Corrigan would say the committee has no “front line” nurses on it, and that you would print this statement without checking with our committee.

Since graduating as an RN from St. Paul’s Hospital in 1971 I’ve worked as a front line nurse at many Lower Mainland hospitals.

• for nine years at Royal Columbian Hospital in ICU,

trauma, and emergency.• eight months at Lion’s Gate

hospital.• 20 years as head nurse of the

ICU at St. Paul’s Hospital and as head nurse at St. Paul’s emergency until 2008.

• one year at St. Mary’s hospital during my rst year of nursing following graduation.

I have an undergraduate degree in Nursing from the University of Victoria and a post graduate diploma in ICU Nursing (1975-1976). I also have a masters degree from Royal Roads University.

Suf ce to say, my credentials as a front line nurse speak for themselves and I am proud to be part of a committee working with doctors, healthcare providers, unions, employers and community associations to gather information and explore ways to improve the delivery of healthcare services and healthcare outcomes at Burnaby Hospital.

Our committee is designed to be accessible to everyone in the Burnaby Hospital community and ensure that the hospital meets

the current and future health care needs of its citizens. We want to hear from as many people as possible and no idea is too small or insigni cant in our minds.

The “My Bby H” committee can be reached by email at [email protected]. People can also connect with us on Facebook (www.facebook/mybbyhospital) and on Twitter @mybbyhospital.

BURNABY SHOULD ADOPT ASSESSMENT AVERAGING POLICY

The City of Burnaby city tax increase of 3.98 per cent is tied with Pitt Meadows as the third highest out of the 17 major municipalities in the Metro Vancouver.

It is too high and it would appear that other councils tried harder than Burnaby’s to keep their taxes down. The trouble with our city hall is that there is no opposition on council to challenge any increase in taxes.

The tax increase turned out to be even higher in my part of the South Slope. The average increase of the city tax was around 10 per cent in this area. Out of the six streets consisting of 430 homes which I was able to check, only 36 had increases of four per cent or less. There was another 92 with increases of 11 per cent and over.

Much of these increases can be blamed on the signi cant jump in assessments from 2011, and although Burnaby city council has no control over assessments, they do have the responsibility and means to nd ways to cushion the resulting substantial tax increases.

One method would be “averaging of assessments” which is used in Vancouver.

If averaging were used in Burnaby, my city tax increase would have been only around three per cent and not the 14 per cent I was nailed with.

Averaging would also apply to other taxing authorities such as schools.

To speak to Burnaby council MondayWanda [email protected]

Like many people of Chinese heritage, Anthony Marr ate shark n soup, a symbol of wealth and prosperity often served at wedding banquets.

Then, as a young man, he learned how shark ns are harvested.

“I was appalled,” said Marr, now an animal rights activist. “I actually saw a video that showed how the sharks were just baited and hooked, brought on board ... then had the pectoral ns and dorsal ns and the tail cut off and the rest of the shark thrown back.

“Then there was also footage showing one of the sharks sinking to the bottom and just trying to gasp for breath and couldn’t move, just kept wriggling the body until they die. It was horrible.”

Marr, a Vancouver resident, will be speaking as a delegation to Burnaby council on Monday evening on behalf of the Vancouver Animal

Defence League. The group wants to see the city ban the sale of shark ns and the serving of shark n soup.

In recent months, Port Moody and Coquitlam have already approved such a ban, Marr said, and several cities in Ontario did so before that.

The group is now aiming to get such bans in place in the Lower Mainland cities with the largest populations of people of Chinese heritage—Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby.

Marr said that, of the more than 400 species of shark, over half are endangered. Shark shing is mostly carried out by poachers who “don’t give a hoot” what species they’re

poaching, so half of the shark ns sold are likely from endangered species.

The largest harvesters of shark n are in Costa Rica, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Singapore and Taiwan, he said.

Marr has been involved in campaigns to protect tigers in India and whales and dolphins off the coast of Japan. For him, the campaign to ban the trade

of shark ns is personally signi cant.“I also feel if it’s a Chinese activist

who stood up and led to the banning of it then the Chinese people would doubly redeem themselves,” he said, “by number one, stopping it, number two, stop using it.”

Marr and the Vancouver Animal Defence League will hold a demonstration in front of Burnaby city hall at 6 p.m. on Monday, which he is calling on members of the public to join. That will be followed by Marr’s 10-minute presentation to council at 7 p.m. Monday in city hall council chambers. Info: http://bit.ly/Lg0VIu.

Privatizing the Liquor Distribution Branch would not only cause the province to lose millions of dollars in revenue, it would also drive up liquor prices for consumers, according to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union.

Nearly 40 union members armed with petitions circled the Cascades Casino parking lot on Tuesday evening, collecting signatures to “stop the Liquor Distribution Branch sell-off.” They were also hoping to catch the eye of Rich Coleman, minister responsible for the LDB, who was at the casino on Tuesday to speak to the annual meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce.

“(The LDB) is a public asset that has served the public for decades,” said Evan Stewart, communications of cer for the BCGEU.

“Last year alone it produced in the region of $890 million of pro t, and that’s provincial revenue that goes into building schools, hospitals and highways and looking after seniors.”

Since the privatization plan was announced in the budget speech in February, there has been no public consultation nor a business case presented to justify the sale, Stewart said.

He also believes this will cause prices to increase for consumers.

“I think British Columbians need to be aware that the system has worked for decades (and) has provided consistent pricing province wide. If you go into a liquor store in East Vancouver, right by the warehouse, or if you go to a liquor store in Fort St. John, the prices are the same,” he said.

“There’s certainly no assurance that if the warehouse and distribution service is privatized we’re going to have consistent, province-wide pricing. And I think there is a very real possibility that this privatization is going to drive up costs for consumers.”

Matt Phillips of Victoria’s Phillips Brewing Company, also a member the Craft Beer Association of B.C., has predicted that privatization could add between 75 cents to $1 on the cost of a six-pack of beer, Stewart said.

“A lot of the smaller brewers are happy with the service that LDB provides, and they are concerned that privatizing is going to drive up their costs,” he said.

Inside the building, Coleman did not address any liquor-related issues in his speech. However, he was asked a question about the privatization by a chamber member.

Asked why no business case had been prepared in advance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) that calls for responses from the private sector by June 30, Coleman said that the government instead did an analysis.

“What we have here is an old warehouse that is not very ef cient. We could either go build a new warehouse or see if someone in the private sector wanted to come in with a proposal.

“We need to look to ef ciencies, and the best way is to go to the private sector,” he said.

He also emphasized that part of the RFP requires that existing employees do not lose their jobs and remain as members of the union.

Coleman said the nal decision on the privatization RFP will be made by a panel of civil servants and not by politicians, “and if there is no savings to consumers, we won’t do the deal.”

Burnaby Lakers forward Brandon Toor is checked by Port Coquitlam Saints defender Evan Olson in their novice C lacrosse game Saturday at Burnaby Lake Arena.

MARIO BARTELNEWSLEADER

Two nights after knocking off the Western Lacrosse Association’s top team, the Burnaby Lakers lost to the league’s cellar dwellers.

The hometown Maple Ridge Burrards beat Burnaby 9-5 on Sunday to record their rst win in nine games, and drop the Lakers’ record to 4-3-2 heading into Thursday’s game in New Westminster against the Salmonbellies.

Maple Ridge took control of the game by outscoring Burnaby 7-2 in the second period. Colton Clark scored two of Burnaby’s goals with singles going to Shaun Dhaliwal, Matt Quinton and Dane Stevens, who also had three assists.

The loss came on the heels of a 10-9 overtime victory over the visiting Victoria Shamrocks at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday.

Scott Jones scored twice within 49 seconds in the last three minutes of overtime to secure the win. The Shamrocks had scored the last three goals of regulation to force OT.

Dhaliwal had two goals and two assists with Quinton also adding a pair of goals. Singles went to Matt Beers, Mike Brascia, Jackson Decker and Clark.

Burnaby outshot Victoria 53-41, with Joe Bell making 41 saves in the Lakers net, but the Shamrocks connected for three powerplay goals in four opportunities while the Lakers were 0-for-5.

The Lakers will play host to the Coquitlam Adanacs at Copeland tonight (Friday) starting at 7:45 p.m. Victoria returns for another clash next Friday.

Jr. ’Bellies bounce BurnabyThe New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies scored

nine unanswered goals in downing the Burnaby Jr. Lakers 11-3 at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

Although the Lakers held a brief 2-1 lead for three minutes early in the rst period they were held off the scoresheet until less than ve minutes remained.

Quinton Bradley, Colton Dow and Kevin Lemond scored for Burnaby.

The Lakers were coming off a 10-6 loss to the Port Coquitlam Saints at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday. Brendan Shea had two goals in a losing cause with singles going to Bryan Gillis, Josh Simons, Cameron Clark and Dow.

The night before, however, the Lakers traveled to Nanaimo to defeat the Timbermen 7-6 thanks to two goals each by Simons and Ryan Watson. Brendan Attwell, Bryan Gillis and Clark had the others.

Heading into tonight’s (Friday) game in Port Coquitlam against the Saints, the Lakers are 3-11-0. The Salmonbellies will come to Copeland on Sunday, 7 p.m., before the Lakers visit Langley to take on the Thunder next Thursday.

SAINT-LY CHECK

Lakers beat best but lose to league cellar dwellers

Two-time defending B.C. Sevens Series champions Burnaby Lake Rugby Club went undefeated on Saturday to win the Vancouver Rugby Sevens men’s elite division at the rst of three of cial stops on the 2012 provincial circuit.

Burnaby went 3-0 in the pool rounds defeating hosts Meralomas 19-5, Youngbucks 12-5 and Seattle 28-5. Burnaby edged Meralomas 12-5 in the semi nals and then ran riot in

the cup nal, defeating Bayside 42-0. Tournament MVP Admir Cejvanovic, a graduate of Burnaby Central, scored two tries and was ruthless on defence as his team held high- ying Bayside scoreless.

“We came out slow and the heavy rain didn’t help us much in the rst two games but in the third against Seattle we really backed ourselves and hit our stride,” Cejvanovic said.

“It was great to beat Bayside

in the nal as we have a strong rivalry against those guys. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going in the series when we host our tournament in a few weeks time.”

On the women’s side, although they defeated eventual champion Seattle Mudhens 22-5 in round robin, Burnaby lost 5-0 to Abbotsford and 12-7 to the Meralomas

The Burnaby Lake Lighthouse Sevens will be held July 7.

Seven men and one woman have been charged for their alleged involvement in three violent jewelry store robberies in Surrey and Burnaby, say Surrey RCMP.

Of the eight, one is still at large—27-year-old Jeffrey Greenwood of Surrey.

The police investigation started after two brazen robberies targeting jewelry at two pawn shops in Surrey on May 22 and 31. During the robberies, the suspects took over the stores while wielding machetes and hammers and in one case, dousing a clerk in highly- ammable lighter uid.

Surrey RCMP soon identi ed a vehicle of interest and then a person of interest, which allowed its Strike Force Target Team to conduct surveillance. Through this police were able to identify an organized group that may have been responsible for the robberies.

On June 5, while under surveillance, the group suddenly robbed Station Jewellers at Station Square mall, in the 6100-block of Mackay Avenue in Burnaby.

Strike force teams from both Surrey

and Burnaby RCMP coordinated a joint response which resulted in the arrest of ve members of the group as they ed the area in two vehicles to New Westminster and Surrey.

The arrests and recovery of the property stolen from the Burnaby store, valued at about $30,000,

allowed Surrey RCMP to collect evidence leading to charges against three more people, and charges against one person for their involvement in the Surrey incidents.

Police continue to work towards identifying others responsible for the Surrey

robberies and to recover property stolen in those incidents.

Charged with robbery and disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, are Greenwood, 27, Kevin Campbell, 25, Raymond Hawse, 39, Phuong Thi Le, 21, Anthony Nguyen, 20, Sonny Nguyen, 19, and Bobby Prasad, 37, all from Surrey, and Jordan Boucher, 26, of no xed address.

Greenwood, who is still at large, is described as being a Caucasian man, six-feet-tall, 166 pounds, with blue eyes and a distinctive tattoo of a dog on his neck.

Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired allday, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDAwebsite). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp forair anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40,Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night!

Mon. - Sat. 9am - 9pm, Sun. 10am - 6pm


Located at Deer Lake Park, the Burnaby Village Museum offers 10 acres of fun for families looking for things to do this

summer.Visitors can go inside the many homes and

businesses at the heritage village, and enjoy demonstrations at the blacksmith shop and print shop. They can also participate in hands-on activities, behind-the-scenes tours, and live performances.

Starting July 12, the Burnaby Summer Theatre Troupe is performing their original play, The Edible Adventures of Maggie the Milk Maiden at noon, 12:45 and 1:30 p.m. Thursdays, until Aug. 17. Audience members are encouraged to sing, dance, and cheer during the highly interactive show written for children, and produced with the support of the Burnaby Arts Council.

Audience interaction is also encouraged at the performances of Footlight Theatre, who offer an old-fashioned Vaudeville theatre experience every Sunday and holiday Monday at 1, 2, and 3 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to cheer on the heroes and “boo” the villains during the half hour interactive shows.

Visitors are invited to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the museum’s C.W. Parker Carousel. Three horses have been selected as the “horse of the month” for June, July and August. Posters featuring original paintings of the horses are being given away to the rst 5,000 riders each month.

Beginning July 3, visitors can also participate in a free half-hour tour of the carousel every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 1 p.m. to explore the history of the machine and its beautiful, hand-carved horses.

Guided tours of the museum are offered Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, beginning on July 6 and continuing throughout the summer. Visitors can drop-in or pre-register for these “Toonie Tours” that provide a 45-minute exploration behind-the-scenes at the museum for a $2 fee.

Admission to the museum is free. Carousel rides are $2.30 each. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and holiday Mondays, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., until Sept. 3.

Lisa Codd is the curator at the Burnaby Village Museum.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT B.C.Portable dikes called Hesco baskets have been set up in a low-lying area of Prince George.

Tom Fletchert [email protected]

VICTORIA – Rain is expected to continue across B.C. over the next week, adding to late snowmelt that is causing high water in the Fraser River system and elsewhere in the province.

Emergency of cials said Tuesday that the rising water is expected to peak by this weekend at 6.38 metres at the Fraser River gauge at Mission. That is well below the 8.89-metre height of the lower Fraser River dike system, so communities along the lower Fraser are not likely to experience ooding except for areas not protected by dikes.

Water from heavy weekend rains is still owing south through Prince George, with the gauge at South Fort George expected to peak at about 10 metres by Friday, said Dave Campbell, head of the B.C. River Forecast Centre.

Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said a low pressure system off the B.C. coast is expected to spread rain to the South Coast this week and into the Interior by the weekend. Interior temperatures are expected to rise to near 30 degrees before the rain arrives, accelerating snow melt in areas such as the Skeena and Bulkley watersheds where much of the snowpack remains, Jones said.

The low pressure system will likely persist into next week, but rainfall amounts are unpredictable at this stage.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the province has 1,000 forest re staff on standby to help with sandbagging if local of cials need emergency help. The province has two million large sandbags on hand, with some already deployed at regional centres including Chilliwack and New Westminister.

Chris Duffy of Emergency Management B.C. said three of the province’s six emergency coordination centres have been activated, at Prince George, Kamloops and Surrey.

Duffy said areas outside dike protection include aboriginal reserves at Hatzic and Seabird Island on the lower Fraser. Emergency of cials have eight kilometres of portable dike structures on hand.

Bond warned B.C. residents to follow instructions from local emergency of cials in the event of evacuation orders.

“If you fail to obey an evacuation order, you can put yourself, your family or others at risk,” Bond said.

If there’s one thing Paul Whitmore does well, it’s defy expectations.

The 17-year-old Grade 12 Burnaby Central student is ranked fth in the province in

sprint canoeing, despite Whitmore admitting to not being much of an athlete until a few years ago.

He’s also planning to study engineering, rst at Simon Fraser

University, then perhaps at the University of British Columbia, despite the fact he unked math in his rst

semester this year.Early on this school

year, Whitmore was a little worried because he didn’t have a plan for after graduation.

“I just decided to nd a job or career path that looked good and go all out for it.”

That appears to be Whitmore’s approach to life, one of forging a path through dogged determination.

As a boy he played hockey, but he wasn’t as good as he would have liked. Then his parents enrolled him in a

summer canoeing camp in Grade 8 and he was hooked.

He took up sprint canoeing, paddling canoes that are 16-feet long, as wide as a snowboard and tremendously dif cult to balance.

“In the beginning I fell out many times,” Whitmore recalled.

But he enjoyed the sport and the atmosphere and eventually improved, not only as a canoeist but in other areas of athletics as well.

This summer he plans to compete in pre-selection races for the

Canada Games, and one day he hopes to race at the nationals.

In school, he was always a humanities person, earning high marks in social studies and law courses. So it was a bit of a surprise to his family when he announced he was aiming to study

engineering, especially after failing that math course.

But he retook the course by correspondence, and has raised his grades to the point he was accepted by SFU, an effort he says was largely related to improving his work habits.

Whitmore hopes to specialize in mining engineering and one day work in the petroleum sector speci cally, the

Alberta oil sands. That stems partly from a “really intense interest” in geology as a child when he had a rock collection for which he could recite from memory what type of stone each one was.

Ultimately, he said, he realizes his future is a lot like one of his solo canoe races.

“It’s all up to me to get where I’m going. I’m not relying on someone else.”


Student forges path by dogged determination

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERPaul Whitmore, a Burnaby Central student, heads out with his canoe for a workout on Burnaby Lake.

Vancouver’s Chinatown is full of culture, history and community spirit. It’s a great place to live, but as one of the most historical areas of Vancouver, Chinatown comes with several guidelines for developers.

“How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” says Brian Low, director of Panther Constructors. Panther is currently building The Flats on Georgia, a nine-storey, 28-unit condominium building in Chinatown.

Some of the guidelines they ran into were height restrictions and the number of windows allowed on the building, Low says. They also had to ensure that the architecture of the project would fit

in with the surrounding buildings. After much consultation with the city, they were able to accomplish this feat.

But it was the friendly atmosphere that most attracted Panther to the area.

“It’s a small town inside a big city,” Low says.

As a National Historic Site, Chinatown is always bustling with visitors and residents. It’s the second largest Chinatown in North America.

The market holds vendors of all stripes, selling everything from local vegetables to fine seafood. A movie theatre and several banks have also set up shop, so Low’s idea of a small town in a big city is certainly not far off.

City style comes to Surrey with the opening of Porte Development’s Verve. Located on Fraser Highway at 139th Avenue, the location is ideal. It’s a six-minute walk to the SkyTrain station, yet set in a quiet corner of Surrey. With a great location, beautiful homes and a fantastic price point, Verve is truly a project for design lovers.

“You get more for your money,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “More square footage and a really quality product.”

The homes range from 541-square-foot junior one-bedrooms to 986-square-foot two-bedroom and den condos. In addition, there is a small collection of three-bedroom townhomes that are almost 1,400 square feet. Verve will have three buildings, each with only 66 homes. This will make it a more intimate neighbourhood.

Outside the architecture is contemporary and dynamic. Each building has a complementary but unique colour palette to give it its own style. A paved stone driveway leads onto the tree-lined interior streets between the buildings, and a pedestrian walkway makes its way to trails and parks. Each home comes with a spacious garden patio or balcony, and there is plenty of space for parking. In fact, all homes come with a parking stall and most two-bedroom homes come with a tandem stall for two cars.

The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, and the two colour schemes (designed by award-winning designers BYU Interior Design) are both so beautiful that it is hard to choose between them.

The kitchens at Verve have a special detail in each one. These touches range from pantries to built-in workstations and wine racks.

The chic cabinetry feature high-gloss

upper cupboards and warm wood lowers, complemented by polished quartz countertops and ENERGY STAR stainless-steel appliances. Under-cabinet valance lighting illuminates all of your tasks, while the laminate flooring throughout the main living areas continues into your kitchen.

The bathrooms are deluxe and

luxurious, with custom-designed vanities and porcelain tile floors. The quartz countertops are modern and cool, while the oversized shower stalls with semi-frameless glass doors (in most of the two-bedroom homes) are an elegant addition to the bathroom. The deep soaker tub is perfect for relaxing after a long day.

The neighbourhood itself is a great selling feature for Verve.

“Central City is all new with lots more to come,” says Chaput. With a campus of Simon Fraser University, the Central City mall, the City Centre

Library, Surrey City Hall (currently under construction), a performing arts centre and the Civic Plaza, Surrey’s City Centre is rapidly becoming a major urban gathering place. Verve is just minutes from SkyTrain, so you will be easily connected to everywhere in the Lower Mainland. There are several schools in the area as well, so Verve is great for families of all ages.

The amenities in the building include a yoga studio, furnished guest suite and a gym. There will also be a children’s play area, a large meeting room, a fireside lounge with a flatscreen TV, games rooms with a pool table, games area and kitchen/bar that opens onto a private patio, and a party room with a full kitchen, bar and private patio as well.

Porte will hold a grand opening on June 23, and Chaput is already anticipating a great response.

“With mortgage payments around $750 per month, you can own for less than renting,” she says, adding that the homes are “super affordable. ... This is a great opportunity to get in the market.”

Homes at Verve start at $154,900. Sales begin on June 23 at noon, so get there early. The presentation centre and display homes are located at 10119 Whalley Boulevard, between 100 and 102 Avenue. They are open daily from 12 to 5 p.m. except for Fridays. For more information, visit www.porte.ca/verve or call 604-588-3783.

Submitted photosThe homes at Verve feature nine-foot ceilings and plenty of living space (top). With polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances (above), the kitchens are perfect for fulfilling your every culinary desire. Homes start at $154,900.
