A bad back and the potential tospend more time with her familyhas prompted MLA Kathy Corri-gan to retire from politics.

In an exclusive interview withthe NOW, the New Democratsays she’s looking forward to re-tirement and spending time withloved ones. Corrigan has also beenhaving “significant back prob-lems” over the years and the tripsback and forth fromVictoria everyweek have been “a bit of a grind.”

“I don’t think it helps my backat all,” she says of the plane ridesand the 12-hour days in the leg-islature. “My back is as such thatI couldn’t see (myself) physical-ly going through it another fouryears and being away from myfamily for another four years.”

The mother-of-four adds she’salso hopeful for some grandchil-dren in the not-too-distant future.

“They’re starting to take thehint. I do remind all of them that

it is their obligation as my chil-dren to have children,” she joking-ly says.

Corrigan, 62, is the first NDPMLA in B.C. to announce shewon’t be running in 2017. Herreason for sharing the news nowwas to give her party plenty oftime to find a replacement, a pro-cess she says could start immedi-

ately. Asked if she knew any po-tential candidates wanting tothrow their hat in the ring, Corri-gan couldn’t say.

“There are people who are in-terested, but that’s up to them.”

Corrigan – a lawyer and poli-cy researcher by trade – was firstelected to the legislature in 2009after winning Liberal MLA John

Nuraney’s seat. Prior to enter-ing provincial politics, she servedthree terms on the Burnaby Boardof Education from 1999 to 2008,with two of those years as boardchair. She was also active on manydistrict committees and was amember of the B.C. SchoolTrust-ees Association provincial council.

Corrigan still remembers the

day former NDP leader CaroleJames asked her to put her nameforward.

“I was really interested and re-ally honoured that she wouldask me. I thought about it andthought about how much of acommitment it was,” she tells theNOW.

Summerregistrationprocessunfair, [email protected]

Burnaby independentschool parents are fed upwith the Burnaby schooldistrict for a summer schoolregistration process they say

is unfair to kids who go tolocal private schools.

For years, local privateschool parents have linedup outside the district officewith other parents from out-side Burnaby and parentsof international students

to register in person forSchool District No. 41 sum-mer school classes, whichattracted a total of nearly8,000 students last year.

Local public school stu-dents, meanwhile, were ableto register online one week

earlier.“We live in Burnaby and

pay taxes in Burnaby,” San-draWong, a mom at a localCatholic school wrote in aJan. 25 letter to the district.“We should not have to reg-ister so late and hope to geta spot in a summer school.”

The district changed its

process this year, giving allstudents a chance to registeron the same day on April 18by getting information fromnon-School District No. 41students during a pre-regis-tration day April 12.

For the district, it’s a mat-ter of paperwork.

“If you are not in our sys-

tem, we don’t have any ofthose records and they canchange year to year,” assis-tant superintendent Rober-to Bombelli told the NOW,“so when someone is not inthe system, we need to seethem.”

A Burnaby school is be-hind a program that will see120 B.C. high schools ob-serve this year’s NationalDay of Mourning to honourworkers killed and injuredin the workplace.

April 28 has been recog-nized as the National Day ofMourning since 1991, butthis year schools around theprovince will mark the daywith a program first devel-oped at Cariboo Hill Sec-ondary by social studiesteacher John Decaire.

He said the idea firstcame to him as he wasteaching his Grade 11 classabout the 1935 On-to-Otta-waTrek for workers’ rights.

He had asked the classhow many of them hadpart-time jobs.

“Half the class put theirhands up,” Decaire said,“and it occurred to me; theyprobably don’t realize it, butsome of the same issues af-fect working people to thisday and affect them.”

It’s especially importantfor young people to knowabout workers’ rights, ac-cording to Decaire, becausethey are the most vulnera-

ble employee group when itcomes to workplace injuryand death.

Half of all workplace in-juries happened to workersunder the age of 25, accord-ing toWorkSafeBC, andfrom 2010 to 2014, 32,000young workers were injuredand 29 were killed in B.C.alone.

Decaire decided to getin touch with the B.C. La-bour Heritage Centre lastJanuary and use last year’sNational Day of Mourning

to pilot an awareness cam-paign at Cariboo Hill.

The initiative – featuringhandouts, displays, morningannouncements, the screen-ing of aWorkSafeBC videoand a school-wide momentof silence – were well re-

ceived, Decaire said.“I talked to a lot of kids

that approached me, askedme about it,” he said, “Infact, many of the kids hadstories of their own – sto-ries of people they knewwho were hurt or instances

where they were asked to dothings they weren’t sure of.”

High schools are an ide-al place to draw atten-tion to the National Dayof Mourning, according toDecaire, especially sincestudents have to have work-

experience credits to grad-uate.

“We actively place kidsinto work placements,” hesaid, “so it’s really importantthat they know that theyhave rights and that safetyis paramount so that they

don’t get hurt.”For more information

A series of threats on so-cial media to shoot up sev-eral local schools and acompany headquarters inBurnabyTuesday after-noon, has led to an arrest.

Burnaby RCMP con-firmed they made one ar-rest in relation to violentthreats made from aTwit-ter account against variousschools and theTelus officein Burnaby, and are recom-mending charges.

However, police were say-ing little about the personarrested, including wherethey are from or the motivebehind threatening Burna-by institutions.

The incidents beganTuesday afternoon from aTwitter account the NOWis not identifying, in which

the person threatened “tocome into the schools withan AR-15 and kill everyperson I see.”

The threat was directedat the Burnaby School Dis-trict’sTwitter account.

Several other threaten-ing tweets followed, includ-ing one in response to aBurnaby NOW tweet: “@BurnabyNOW_News I’mshooting up multiple @burnabyschools today withan AR-15, get news crews

on the scene immediately.”There were also threats

to shoot up theTelus officeand SFU.

RCMP Cpl. DanielaPanesar said none of threatsturned out to be true, butthey were taken seriouslyand investigated.

With charges pendingagainst the suspect, she not-ed anyone caught takingpart in a similar act will becharged criminally for es-sentially false reporting to

police.“It’s obviously very con-

cerning because it’s takingaway our resources from re-ally legitimate files that arecoming in,” Panesar toldthe NOW.

Last year, a Coquitlamteen pled guilty to 23 charg-es, including nine offencesfor criminal harassment, fora number of “swatting” callsto police and law enforce-ment agencies in both Can-ada and the United States.

“Swatting” involves trick-ing emergency respond-ers (a SWAT team) into de-ploying to a location whereno emergency is takingplace.

The 17-year-old washanded a sentence of 16months in youth custodyand another eight monthsto be served under supervi-sion in the community.

During her tenure –among her many assign-ments – Corrigan has beenthe opposition critic for the2010Winter Games, jus-tice, women’s issues, publicsafety and solicitor general,and is currently serving asthe party’s advanced educa-tion critic.

Some of her career high-lights as an MLA includehelping the town of Si-camous get a new bridge af-ter a 2012 flash flood forcedthe evacuation of hundredsof residents and affected600 homes. (Corrigan waspublic safety critic at thetime.)

“I went up there, sawwhere the damage hadbeen.That’s a little thing insome ways, but it mattereda lot to that community,”she says.

Standing up in the legisla-ture and raising issues aboutaccess to post-secondaryeducation have been othercareer highs.

“I’m not sure if you couldsay there’s any signaturemoments of triumphs, but Ithink when you’re in oppo-sition, you have to pick your

places,” she says, adding amajor project she failed tosee happen during her timein office was a new hospitalfor Burnaby.

As for her toughest timeon the job, it’s been sit-ting on the other side of thefloor, in opposition.The re-sults of the 2013 electioncame as a shock to Corri-gan. Early on, it was widelypredicted the NDP wouldform the new government.

“It is hard when you havea certain value set and youdon’t see it reflected in thepolicies, the legislation andthe budgets of the govern-ment. It is difficult to con-tinue to fight that fight,but I always try to remem-ber that we’re acting on thebest interest of the people ofBritish Columbia, and weowe it to the people of Brit-ish Columbia to keep on(going).”

Despite the loss, Corri-gan says she’s been reallyimpressed with how unifiedthe NDP caucus has beenover the last few years.

“Even in tough times, Ithink we’ve done really, re-ally well, and we’re feelinggreat right now.”

Meanwhile, workingalongside husband andBurnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan has been “reallygreat,” she says, noting evenif they don’t always agreeon things, there’s always aninteresting discussion thatemerges.

“My disappointment hasbeen that we didn’t win thelast time around.We justhad so many ideas abouthow, if you had a provincial

government and a local gov-ernment working togeth-er, the great things that youcould do, like cooperate andbuild a hospital,” Corriganexplains, adding the pairconsider “date night” anevening when both of themattend a community event.

Asked whether Derek in-tends to retire before thenext municipal election,slated for 2018, Corrigansays she doesn’t see it hap-pening.

“He’s loving his job. He’scertainly not thinking aboutthat at all. … Unless some-thing happens to his healthor something like that.”

When her term as MLAends next year, Corriganplans to do a lot more cook-ing and travelling (Italy’sfirst on the list). She’s alsohoping to work on her golfswing, a sport she and Der-ek took up 15 years ago.

Corrigan says she wouldlike her legislative legacy tobe one of integrity, decorumand gravitas.

“I hope that people willknow that everything I’vedone over the last 30 years –

volunteering in my commu-nity, as a school trustee fornine years and as an MLA– is that I have wanted to dothe best thing for my com-munity.

“I don’t think there’s ajob in the world where youget to walk through so manydoors in so many interest-ing ways.”

A life inpolitics:KathyCorrigan saysoneof thebiggestdisappointmentswaswhen theB.C.NDP failed to formgovernment in2013. She says shewas surprisedby theelection results aspolls suggested thepartywas in “pretty goodshape.” PHOTOCORNELIANAYLOR

As the clock ticks downon the timeline the federalgovernment has to pass newassisted-death laws, it ap-pears the proposed legisla-tion is getting support fromlocal MPs across the aisle.

Burnaby North-Sey-mour Liberal MPTerryBeech said he will supportBill C-14, his government’sassisted-death legislation,while Burnaby South NDPMP Kennedy Stewart saidhe’s also leaning towardsupporting the bill.

“It’s obviously a very sen-sitive issue,” Beech told theNOW,noting he’s heardfrom constituents whofeel the bill doesn’t go farenough, and some who sayit goes too far.

Last week, the federalgovernment introduced leg-islation that would providefor medically assisted death.

The bill would changethe Criminal Code so phy-sicians, nurse practitioners –and those who help them –can provide assistance to dieto eligible patients withoutthe risk of being chargedwith assisted suicide or ho-micide.The governmentsaid the bill will have safe-guards to make sure thosewho receive medical as-sistance in dying are eligi-

ble, can give informed con-sent, and voluntarily requestit.The Minister of Healthwould also be able to makeregulations to establish aprocess for monitoring andreporting on the use ofmedical assistance in dying.

The govern-ment was forcedto come up withthe legislation af-ter the SupremeCourt of Canadastruck down lawsprohibiting doctor-assisted death.Thecourt gave the gov-ernment until June6 to pass the legis-lation.

Beech suggestedthe bill respects thecourt’s decision,but at same timeprotects the coun-try’s most vulner-able.

“We have to becareful. Becausethis is a very im-portant issue, itwas incumbent onus to find a bal-ance,” he said.

Stewart said he’s lean-ing toward supporting thebill as it stands, but wants tosee what the final legislationwill look like after it goes tocommittee.

However, he said he alsowants to hear from constit-

uents in the meantime, add-ing he’s trying to reflect thewishes of Burnaby.

So far, Stewart said theopinions have been split,with some in support andsome opposed.

He said issues like wheth-er doctors shouldbe forced to pro-vide services, orbe able to opt out,or if the legisla-tion should applyto sick kids are allaspects he expectswill be discussedduring the com-mittee process.

“It is the heavi-est decision I’vehad to make sinceParliament re-sumed last year,”he said. “I know allof us are wrestlingwith this here.Youreally don’t geta decision muchmore importantthan this.”

The vote on thebill will be a freevote in the Houseof Commons, al-

lowing MPs to vote howthey choose rather than fol-lowing party lines.

Taking itslowwithassisteddeathThe Liberals seem to

have taken a middle-of-the-road position on assisteddeath legislation in Canada.

It’s not a blank cheque,and yet it still allows for a le-gal way for those sufferingto end their lives. But in be-tween those two bookendsare a lot of questions, frus-tration and controversy.

Many were hoping for asimple way to end their lifewhen it becomes intolera-ble – a form to be filled outin advance, similar to thecurrent ‘do not resuscitate’

forms that communicateone’s wishes to family and/or physicians and caregivers.A form that would empow-er a physician to administera legal lethal dose when onehas reached the point whenthe individual has, basically,said it’s time to call it quits.

Similar to some Europe-an countries, which have le-galized euthanasia, the onuswould be on the individualto determine when to die.

But the proposed legis-lation in Canada has putsome major speed bumps in

our path to shuffle off thismortal coil.

For patients to be eligi-ble for medical aid in dying,the legislation says that canonly happen when “natu-ral death has become rea-sonably foreseeable.” Andthat can only happen whenan individual signs a requestwitnessed by two peoplewho have no financial inter-est in the case, and two doc-tors or nurse practitionersnot on the treatment teamwould also have to evaluatethe situation and request.

The language in the leg-islation says a person has tobe in an “advanced state ofirreversible decline in capac-ity.” But what that means isobviously open to interpre-tation.When one combinesthat with “natural death hasbecome reasonably fore-seeable,” it again brings usback to the question of whois in charge of one’s ownlife – or rather death. Clear-ly, physicians will carry thelion’s share of the burdenof decisions in these cases.And, as always, loved ones

will be advocates for, oragainst, assisting their lovedone to die.

Some people believe thatthe legislation makes it tooeasy to end one’s life. Andsome still believe, althoughthey are the minority, thatthere should be no assistedsuicides allowed in any situ-ation.

We think as a first stepthis legislation is a goodone. Life and death are notsimple matters, and, we be-lieve, the legislation willevolve in time.

More than 20 years ago aBurnaby MP, Svend Robin-son, advocated for Sue Ro-driguez’s right to end herown life.That case endedup in the Supreme Court ina 5-4 vote against assistedsuicide. In 1994, an uniden-tified physician helped herend her life while Robinsonwas present.

Rodriguez, Robinsonand many others deserveour thanks for fighting for acompassionate end to suf-fering.

Python boots on the run

Whatdefinesatrue leader?

What is this thing we callleadership?That’s the ques-tion I was asked to decodefor an audience of femalebusiness owners last week.

I came across a little gemin a book from manage-ment guru Peter Druck-er. He says: “the definitionof a leader, the only defini-tion, is somebody who hasfollowers.” I was a little per-plexed.You don’t have toachieve results to be a lead-er?You don’t have to be agood person?You just haveto have followers? Moth-erTeresa has followers, shewas a leader. JustinTrudeauhas followers, he is a leader.DonaldTrump has follow-ers, he is a leader.

At around the same time,I was reading the biographyof Steve Jobs. Parts of hisstory are very inspiring.

He believed strongly inhis vision that Apple prod-ucts should be estheticallypleasing and easy to use.

The company has beenwildly successful as a result.He made all kinds of bravedecisions that ran counter topopular opinion and whatothers felt he should do tochampion his strong beliefsand high standards.

Yet, to say he was hardon the people close to himis putting it mildly. I didn’tfind anything in his leader-ship style that I would wantto emulate.

If having followers madeSteve Jobs a leader, what isthe commonality betweenJobs,Trump and Moth-erTeresa that attracts thosefollowers?

Here’s my theory: I think

to attract followers (andtherefore be a leader), youhave to be authentic andwilling to project your val-ues and passion throughyour work. It’s not enoughto just have values and pas-sions.They have to be im-portant enough that you willproject them into the worldin spite of what peoplemight think.Trump may bea jerk, but he’s an authenticjerk who is willing to projecthis values and passions tothe public in spite of whatpeople might say.

Leadership is that easyand that hard. Because todo that you have to stopworrying about what yourparents or spouse or friendsthink you should want orthink you should do.

You have to take risks.You have to be true to your-self and figure out how tostand up for what you be-lieve in and express your en-ergy in an authentic way.Leadership is that easy andthat hard.

The most importantquestion a leader can workon is not, “What is leader-ship?”

For that you need fol-lowers and a willingness toproject your values and pas-sions into the world.

The more importantquestion for leaders is amuch more personal andpractical question:Whatkind of leader do you wantto be?Laura Jones is executive

vice-president of the Canadi-an Federation of IndependentBusiness.

Itwasnever that a ‘Harper’ pipeline hasbeendefeated.. no, fromdayone, Trudeauhas criticized theprevious governmentonly for not being able to get pipelinesapproved.Aswell, opposition and sittingpoliti-cians have totally different talkingpoints. TakeAdrianDix for example. Hewas adamantly against pipelines untilhe assumed that hewouldbe coronat-ed aspremier.,, thenhe flip-flopped.Alberta’sNotley is another example...she andmuchof her staffwere anti-oilactivists until they got elected.Now,Notley, despite being anNDPmember,is themost pro-pipelinepremier in allof Canada.

TheaPierrot Itmaywell be true thatTrudeauhasbeen convinced that hiseconomic targets can’t bemetwithoutapproving thepipelines but that is notthe same thing as saying Trudeauhasdecided to approve them. That part ispure speculation.

everyone a chance to be onequal footing with Burnabypublic school students comeonline registration day, hesaid.

But that’s missing thepoint, according toWongand other independentschool parents, who say lo-cal students shouldn’t haveto compete for spots withstudents from outside ofBurnaby.

“I think if you don’tlive in Burnaby and youdon’t live in the country,you should have to wait tillpeople that actually live inthe city are able to regis-

ter,”Wong said. “That justmakes sense to me.”

Wong also suspects open-ing online registration toeveryone at the same timecrashed the online systemMonday and jammed thedistrict’s phone lines.

“It’s just common sense,”she said. “You let all thosepeople on there and the sys-tem’s not going to be ableto handle it …They shouldhave staggered it.”

After a couple of servercrashes on Monday, the dis-trict announced all furthersummer school registrationwould be delayed until April25, and a notice on the dis-

trict website instructs par-ents not to call the summersession office to register.

“Our online server hada technical issue when weopened up online registra-tion,” Bombelli said, “andI think that caused a wholelot of people who were notable to get on the website tophone, and it flooded ourphone system … Peoplewere upset because it flood-

ed the system to the pointthat you just couldn’t getthrough and then it filled

the voicemails.”But Bombelli said it’s

doubtful the new pre-regis-tration system was to blamefor the crashes.

The volume of registra-tion on Monday was higherthis year than last, he said,with about 2,100 studentsmanaging to register be-tween crashes, but only 180students were pre-registeredunder the new system on

April 12.“I don’t believe that 180

people would have changedwhat happened with thatserver,” Bombelli said.

He said the district isbuilding a new server andthe system should be upand running Monday.

The daylong event iscoming to Burnaby on Sat-urday, July 16 and will fea-ture a yet-to-be releasedplethora of taco vendors,including Mexican restau-rants and food trucks. Orga-nizers have also promised li-bations, both alcoholic andnon-alcoholic.Twenty mu-sical acts will also be at theevent providing entertain-ment throughout the dayand into the evening.

Last year, organizersApocalypse Sunrise put ona smaller event at a club inVancouver. It featured onevendor and lots of music,and the turnout was over-whelming – between 1,500and 2,000 people showedup to grab a bite, said John-ny Matter, president ofApocalypse Sunrise.

“It was a hit in one way,but it was also a learningexperience in another,” hesaid. “So this year, we de-cided to do it full on out-doors (and) add more ven-dors.”

On the subject of ven-dors, Matter wouldn’t saywhich food trucks or restau-rants have signed up to bepart of the second annualevent. He plans to keep thevendor list under wraps foranother month or so whilehe finalizes everything.

As for the move to Burn-aby, Matter said Swan-gard Stadium is the “per-fect” location for the event.The Burnaby park is closeto transit, provides ampleroom for attendees, vendorsand, of course, the two stag-es organizers will be build-ing for the 20 bands sched-

uled to play.Taco Fest is on Satur-

At first, the worst wasfeared when a constructionmishap caused a series ofwashouts along a tributaryof Stoney Creek last fall inBurnaby.

But nearly six monthslater, coho fry are beingspotted in the creek, andhopes are high from localstreamkeepers that eventu-ally the waterway will makea complete recovery.

“It’s a very pleasant mir-acle,” said JohnTemple-ton, the chair of the StoneyCreek environment com-mittee. “Thankfully, whenI saw those fish last week, Iwas like ‘Wow, this is unbe-lievable.’”

He also explained thanksto rains through the winter,some of the areas that wereinundated with sand andsediment along the creekare starting to clear, whichis also good news for the

creek.“It’s almost like nature is

doing what nature does,”Templeton said.

The challenge for return-ing fish is if the eggs getcoated in the sediment, itcreates a barrier where ox-ygen doesn't get into thedeveloping eggs, essentiallychoking them.

The saga began onOct. 31 when a construc-tion mishap led to a se-ries of events that eventu-ally forced a large amountof sediment into the creekand put the fish habitat inthe waterway at risk.

During the rehabilitationof a culvert on a StoneyCreek tributary, an A.C.Paving employee who wasmaintaining a filter screenon a pump at the con-struction site got his bootsucked into the inlet hoseof the pump.

City staff had originallysuggested heavy rains priorto the original incident on

Oct. 30 were the cause ofthe failure and subsequentsediment damage.

The city had undertakenthe project in the first placeafter crews and StoneyCreek streamkeeper mem-bers noticed the beginningof some creek bank ero-sion near the outlet of theStoney CreekTributary 3Aculvert under GaglardiWayin the fall of 2014.

In the weeks and monthsfollowing the October inci-dent, city engineers beganworking on a remediationplan. Fisheries and OceansCanada (DFO) also got in-volved, directing the cityto provide a fall/winter sitemanagement plan to en-sure no further impacts tofish and fish habitat occur.The federal agency alsowanted a restoration planto restore identified fishhabitat to previous condi-tions, an implementationschedule and a monitor-ing plan.

In an email to the NOWlast week, the DFO not-ed “the City of Burnaby iscontinuing to work towardsmeeting requirements tomitigate or remedy adverseeffects to fish and fish habi-tat as outlined in the letter

from DFO.These require-ments are legally binding.”

WhileTempleton saidthere is still plenty of workto be done to get the creekback to the condition priorto the washout, he’s hap-py to see an improvement.

And he’s hopeful as longas the DFO is involved, thecreek will make full recov-ery and the city’s remedi-ation plans will be carriedout.

Thank You!

You consider the “ref-ugee world” to havechanged over the last sixto eight months.Howwould you describe thatchange?

I think Canada has recov-ered its refugee heart.Whenthe image appeared on theglobal scene of the child ontheTurkish beach, I think itcaught everyone’s attention,certainly. It caused Canadi-ans to identify with the refu-gee crisis in a stronger way.

So that, in conjunctionwith the election in Cana-da, created an environmentfor a much more positivestance towards refugees andan opening of our doorsand our borders in a muchdeeper way, particularly tothe Syrian refugees, but thathas had a spillover effect torefugees in general.

So even though we asJourney Home Communitydon’t work too much direct-ly with sponsored refugees– either government or pri-vately sponsored, we workwith refugee claimants –that goodwill and awarenessof the refugee crisis and ref-ugee needs has spilled overto all of Canada’s refugeeserving agencies and hascreated a much more posi-tive environment.

Why do you think thereisn’t a lot of talk aroundwhat a refugee can posi-tively contribute to thecommunity?

It’s so easy to stereotyperefugees as being needyand victims and not havingmuch to offer in the way ofresources – which, in cer-tain ways, is true.

They don’t have in theway of monetary resourceswhen the come, they havebeen victimized in someways, and been persecut-ed, absolutely, but they have

much to bring and offer.

How can refugeescounter the radicaliza-tion process?

I can give two exam-ples of former refugees whohave been a part of Jour-ney Home Community thathave helped to counter radi-calization.

The first person I spokeabout [during my speech]was Abdul. He’s a well-re-spected Islamic scholar, butof the moderate wing of Is-lam – and of course thatdidn’t go down well withthe radical Islamic elementin his part of the world, asyou can well imagine.

He came to Canada andhas had a positive refugeedetermination. Now, he’sbeen invited by the govern-ment of his home countryto assist them in a numberof ways.

He reports to the coun-try’s president’s chief ofstaff, he’s been invited tohelp prepare curriculum for

Islamic teaching in schoolsto reflect a more moderateelement into the curricu-lum and he has written ar-ticles to reinterpret some ofthe radical elements of theQuran. He believes freedomof religion is a human rightand should be granted toeveryone, which is not thecommon view of very fun-damental and conservativeMuslims.

The second example Igave was of Sayed fromPakistan. He’s been in Can-ada for a good numberof years now and has be-come a Canadian citizen.He worked as a senior proj-ect consultant for variousNGOs in Pakistan. He hasserved as a chief of staff for

both the vice president andthe minister of foreign af-fairs in his home country.And he’s represented hisnation as a political council-or at the United Nations inNewYork.

He’s recently been con-cerned with how to combatIslamic radicalization. Sohim and a colleague in an-other western country havedeveloped a concept paperon strategizing some waysto address the issue of radi-calization.

He believes that, and Iquote: “there is compellingevidence that outdated cul-tural practices and Islam-ic radicalization has collec-tively perpetuated violencethroughout many societ-ies around the world.” Andso they are designing andproposing a web of educa-tion program for preschool,elementary and second-ary school, to be designedas private, but not-for-prof-it.The also want to establisha higher standard of educa-

tion and vigorous researchprograms and publication ofa monthly social and familymagazine.

So, my point is here aretwo people from a coun-try that is strongly Muslim,but are former refugees whohave recognized the need tonot only have humanitarianassistance in these areas, butto address the refugee crisisat the root cause level.

What would your re-sponse be to those whobelieve refugees will per-petuate radicalization?

My response would bethat there’s always a per-ceived fear, and we can eas-ily tend to focus on thepossibilities of what couldoccur, rather than lookingat and focusing on the verywonderful people that doarrive and these (Abdul andSayed) are only two exam-ples of people from a Mus-lim country that actuallyhave the same kinds of

concerns and are contribut-ing to counter the terrorismand the radicalization thatgoes on. So let’s focus ourenergies on supporting andencouraging these kindsof strong initiatives. I thinkthese aren’t often the kindsof (initiatives) that make thenews.

You said that althoughthere seems to be a bit ofa spotlight on the refu-gee crisis as of recently,asylum seekers (or refu-gee claimants) are oftenforgotten. Could you ex-pand on that a bit?

If we were looking at theMetroVancouver area, apartfrom the current influx ofrefugees through the Syr-ian sponsorship program,typically, MetroVancouverwould receive 800 to 900government-sponsored ref-ugees annually.

But, MetroVancouveralso receives about a thou-sand asylum seekers, or ref-ugee claimants, annually.

And [refugee claimants]don’t have any large orga-nizing body or agency to co-ordinate assistance and helpfor them.They’re kind ofleft to fend for themselvesand find their own way,because there isn’t feder-al funding for settlement ofrefugee claimants.

What can be done to

increase the awareness ofrefugee claimants com-ing into Canada?

We’re actually seek-ing some funding to in-crease that awareness andto engage with community

groups and church groupsthat want to provide sup-port and settlement for ref-ugee claimants and sponsora family.

We want the public toknow about this category of

refugees, first of all, and sec-ond of all, we want peopleto know how they can re-fer refugee claimants, if theycome across them, to theorganizations that can pro-vide help.

The Red Cross MultiAgency Partnership (MAPnetwork) was the first groupthat helped to launch theFirst Contact program inthe MetroVancouver area.

It’s a program that creates

information packets, whichare left at the airport, bor-der crossing, inland immi-gration and refugee offices,and any place where refu-gee claimants might comeforward.

It’s been 10 years sinceNorth Burnaby held thefirst Giro di Burnaby, and adecade on, the cycling raceis just as strong as ever.

The race returns to itsusual Burnaby Heightsstomping grounds on July14, as party of the SuperWeek series, a collection ofcycling races around the re-gion.

This year, the city is brac-ing for 10,000 spectators toline the course along Hast-ings Street to cheer on theriders.

Giro organizer RainyKent said planning for thisyear’s event is well under-way, but she doesn’t expectany significant changes forthe race.

Instead, it will be busi-ness as usual for the premierevent in the neighbourhood.

“How we’ve seen the racedevelop since 2006 is huge,”she told the NOW.

Kent noted every yearsince the start, the eventhas taken steps to get buy-in from the businesses inthe area, to the point nowwhere she said merchantsare embracing the race.

“It’s kind of a celebra-tion day around some pret-ty amazing bike racing,” shesaid.

If you’re new to the race,The Giro di Burnaby com-prises a single cycling event,open to male and female cy-clists competing for a totalprize purse of over $15,000,collected from sponsorship.The race consists of 30 lapsof the 1.2-kilometre coursefor the women and 45 laps

for the men.The race went on hiatus

for two years in 2009 and2010, but returned with re-newed sponsor for 2011.

And the city is equal-ly happy to have the race inNorth Burnaby.

Parks and recreation di-rector Dave Ellenwood saidthe city sees the race as aneconomic boon and an op-portunity to draw touristsinto the community.

Along with Hats Off Dayin June, he said the Giro hasbecome a feature event forNorth Burnaby.

“This one as well is veryimportant in the NorthBurnaby community,” hesaid, adding the event hasfull support from the localbusiness improvement asso-

ciation.With continued support

from sole title sponsor Ap-pia Development, both or-ganizers and the city expectthe race continue for yearsto come.

“We want it to have a verylong life,” Ellenwood said. “Ithink it’s getting ingrainedin the community where ifit didn’t happen, they wouldwonder why.”

The women’s race willstart at 6 p.m. and the men’srace will start at approxi-mately 7:15 p.m. HastingsStreet and the surround-ing streets are required to beclosed to local traffic from4 to 10 p.m. with restrict-ed parking in the immediatearea beginning at 3 p.m.

A staff report asking forcouncil to approve the roadclosures noted the 4 p.m.closure allows the large vol-unteer team the time re-quired to set up the 8,000-plus feet of required securityfencing and ample timefor the staging area to bemoved into position.

Now more than ever, this project makes sense

for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we

receive the most from our natural resources

at a time when our economy needs it most.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow

Canadian oil to be delivered to international

markets and, as a result, Canada will earn

approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.

By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.

In addition, the expansion will create tens

of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

“By accessing worldmarkets for Canadianoil, we’ll enjoy increasedtax dollars and yearsof employment.”

is keeping the previous Cruzearound for the balance of the

2016 model year, labelling itthe Cruze Limited (expectsome good deals on thisone).

Meanwhile, the sedan comesin four trim levels, starting

with the L. At a base-priceestimate of $18,000 (including

destination charges), you get airconditioning, rear-view camera,

10 airbags plus a fair assortment ofconvenience items such as a seven-inch

touch-screen and built-in WiFi hot spot thatrequires a subscription.

At the top end of the spectrum, the newlydesignated Premier is prepped with heatedfront and back leather-covered seats and a fullrange of infotainment, communications andcrash-avoidance technology. A Premier-based RSpackage adds a unique grille and nose, fog lamps,chin spoiler, rocker panels, rear spoiler and 18-inch wheels.

With an all-new Honda Civic sedan now out anda 2017 Hyundai Elantra arriving at about thesame time as the new Cruze, Chevrolet will haveto battle to earn your dollars. But with impressivelooks, content and performance on its side, theCruze is definitely a top contender.

115 kilograms (for a totalweight of about 1,320kilograms) with an updatedstructure that has a higherpercentage of aluminum.Switching to an aluminumengine block from ironcuts the weight by 20more kilograms while thetransmission drops another11. Similarly, the car’ssuspension components havealso slimed down.

For the time being, the engine line-uphas been reduced to just a single offering.The previous 138-horsepower 1.8-litre four-cylinder base engine has been jettisoned for anew turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder thatproduces 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet oftorque. Compared to the previous 1.4-litre turboengine (which was optional), that’s an increaseof 15 horsepower and 29 pound-feet. The lighter,more powerful Cruze isn’t a racer, of course, butdrivers will find it a much peppier performer.

Driven in a prudent manner, the Cruze isestimated to achieve 7.8 l/100 km in the city and5.6 on the highway with the six-speed automatictransmission (a six-speed manual comesstandard).

While it’s sad to see the muscular turbo-dieseldepart, an all-new version is slated to arrive forthe 2017 model year along with a hatchbackmodel that’s a total jaw-dropper.

At this point it’s worth noting that Chevrolet

Calling it a junior Malibuisn’t necessarily a bad thing

On paper, the second-generationChevrolet Cruze that’s due out soonappears to have what it takes to remainnear the top of the compact-car class. Inthe flesh, it’s better still, as you get thesense that the king-of-the-hill crown

could be in sight.

That audacious suggestion can be fullysupported by the small Chevy’s renewed senseof purpose, starting with an exterior that clearlypoints to a strong kinship with the equally new2016 Malibu. Like its larger stable mate, theCruze’s styling is less angular and slab-sided,especially with more dramatically shaped frontfenders, door panels and rear deck. As a result,the sedan’s sheetmetal is now among the moreelegant in the category and that includes someheavy hitters from Ford, Toyota, Hyundai andHonda.

The Cruze is about 7.5 centimetres longer withabout a 1.3-centimetre gain between the frontand rear wheels. The extended roofline hasalso been slightly lowered and contributes to asleeker silhouette without sacrificing interiorvolume. The cabin is more spacious and the rearpassenger area has slightly more legroom andfive more centimetres of knee room. The interiorhas additional soft-touch material covering thedashboard, door panels and floor console.

Weight reduction has also been a major focus.The Cruze has tightened its belt to the tune of

Artist AnnTarnowski wason hand at the BurnabyArts Council’s Deer LakeGallery on Saturday, April16 for the opening of thenew exhibition Harmony;Discord; Dessication.

Tarnowski’s mixed-me-dia work, which combinesoil painting and photogra-phy, explores humanity’s re-lationship to nature.

“Starting with harmo-ny leading to discord andeventually to dessication,Tarnowski takes the view-er through a progression ofman’s impact on the envi-ronment and inexorably onhimself with this series ofimages,” a press release says.

Her artistic journey takesthe viewer along as thehuman transforms from“peaceful to inexistent.”

“Her work enables the

viewer to imagine the even-tual demise of man and toquestion whether or not wecan reverse, half or at leastslow the process,” the re-lease notes.

The exhibition continuesat the gallery until May 7.

The gallery is at 6584Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyartscouncil.org formore information, or call604-298-7322.

Welcomespringwithfennelandmascarponerisotto

As a chef, spring is my fa-vourite season, so many in-spiring vegetables becom-ing available at the farmersmarkets, which help createinteresting flavors, colours,textures and techniques toour dining tables.

Italian Arborio rice makesthe best risotto, and is now

available in most supermar-kets, the key is to be patientand keep stirring the rice todevelop the creaminess ofthe rice.

Pay attention not to over-cook the rice as it will be-come mushy, the rice is bestwith a little bite to it.

Serves four to six.

INGREDIENTS

1tablespoon unsaltedButter

2 tablespoon olive oil1 small onion finely

chopped3 cloves of garlic crushed1 cup Arborio risotto rice½ cup white wine4 cups vegetable stock

½ cup peasSmall bunch pea shoots1 fennel bulb – half fine-

ly chopped, other half slicedlengthwise and thin

¼ cup parmesan cheeseshaved

1 preserved lemon rindfinely chopped

2 tablespoon mascarponecheese

METHOD

1. In a large, heavy-bot-

tomed saucepan, add thebutter and olive oil on me-dium heat. Add the onionsand garlic. Sauté until on-ions becomes translucenttakes around three to fourminutes.

2. Add the Arborio riceand stir until coated withbutter and olive oil.

3. Pour in the white wineand allow to evaporate.

4. Stir in the diced fennel.5. Add enough stock to

cover the rice and let theliquid evaporate. Repeat un-til the rice is cooked, about15 to 18 minutes.

6. Remove risotto fromthe heat. Stir in the peas,preserved lemon, parme-san cheese and mascarponecheese.

7. Return to the heatbriefly until hot again, nowmix the pea shoots with thefinely sliced fennel and driz-zle olive oil over the top.

Fitness info is spouted ev-erywhere: on blogs, in mag-azines, and even as part ofnew gym memberships.

But have you ever won-dered whether some exer-cise “facts” are actually fal-sities?

Find out now as we de-bunk these five common fit-ness myths.

MYTHNO. 1:

NOPAIN, NOGAIN

Pain is not required for asuccessful workout.

A little “good pain” is tobe expected, especially atfirst, but it shouldn’t limityour ability to perform ev-eryday tasks.

If you find yourself un-able to walk or to sit downafter exercise, you probablywent overboard and shouldre-examine your routine.

Of course, you may expe-rience some minor musclepain if you are new to ex-ercise or if you try a novelworkout.

But don’t ignore one-sid-ed pain, as this may be asign of injury or poor tech-nique.

Just remember: startslowly to avoid injuringyourself.

MYTHNO. 2: MUSCLE

TURNSTO FATWHENYOU

STOPWORKINGOUT

This old myth is like turn-ing gold into brass.The re-

ality is that you actually losemuscle size when you stopexercising. And your metab-olism will also start to slowdown, which then increas-es fatigue and contributes toweight gain.

If you stop exercisingand keep eating the sameamount, you are likely togain weight. But not thegood kind!

MYTHNO. 3: I’MTOOOLD

TOSTARTEXERCISING

No one is “too old” tostart working out.

Indeed, it becomes evenmore important to stay ac-tive as you age.

This is because exerciseplays a significant role inpreventing age-related dis-eases like Alzheimer’s dis-ease and dementia.

Plus, it will improve yourbalance and reduce yourrisk of falling.

If you are concernedabout pain, remember thatthe pool is always an option.

MYTHNO. 4: PREGNANT

WOMENCAN’TWORKOUT

This couldn’t be furtherfrom the truth.

In fact, exercise usuallymakes for better pregnan-cies. Not only does it im-prove comfort, it may evenlead to a shorter and lesscomplicated labour.

If you are a pregnantwoman wanting to work onyour abs, you should be ableto do so up until your thirdtrimester as long as you re-main upright.

It also helps to have a

heart rate monitor so youcan stay in tune with howhard you are working. Manydoctors suggest keepingyour heart rate below 140beats per minute when exer-cising while pregnant.

The most important thingis to listen to your body.

MYTHNO. 5: RUNNERS

DON’TNEEDWEIGHT

TRAINING

Running is great for burn-ing calories, but it doesn’tprovide everything that ahealthy body needs.

To round out your run-ning routine, you shouldalso add some strengthtraining.

Why? For one thing,building muscle speeds themetabolism so you burnmore calories when at rest.Plus, strengthening can cor-

rect any muscle imbalancesyou may have. And this isn’teven to mention that it in-creases bone density to de-crease the risk of stress frac-tures.Shaun Karp is a certified

personal trainer in Burna-by.For more information call604-420-7800 or visit www.karpfitness.com.

With a bit of a history betweenthe two, the Coastal A Cup semifi-nal was guaranteed to be a battle.

A battle the Burnaby Metro Se-lect FC would take to the bank.

League rivals all year long,Burnaby and the regular seasonchampion Port Moody Selectshad met two times previously dur-ing the year, with the results a 1-1tie and a 1-0 Port Moody win. Butwith both Provincial and Coastalcup berths on the line, Saturday’stest was a whole new ball game.

The under-15 boys Selects trad-ed kicks and possession with theirPort Moody rivals through a spir-ited affair, eventually copping aticket to the Coastal champion-ship final on the strength of a 2-1overtime victory.

Striker Richard Culleton dem-onstrated his marksmenship withtwo brilliant goals in the road win,including the game-winner off apenalty kick with seconds remain-ing in the final 10-minute over-time session.

He scored on a breakaway inthe first half, which ended withBurnaby up 1-0. Port Moodydrew even minutes into the sec-ond half off a penalty kick, settingthe stage for extra time.

Deadlocked after regulation,the two teams went through onescoreless extra period and nearly asecond one with less than a min-ute before a shootout when a goodscoring chance was turned into apenalty kick.

Culleton, who shook off a knocksuffered in the first extra session,returned to the field with a hand-ful of minutes to play and wouldget an opportunity to end it.

Taking a pass through the mid-dle with one defender to beat,Culleton was brought down andhanded one shot to finish it. Hedidn’t miss.

Port Moody pressed frantical-ly for the equalizer and moved theball into Burnaby’s zone before

the final whistle sounded, sendingBurnaby into next week’s CoastalCup final againstVancouver San-tos.

That game, which will takeplace in Aldergrove, pits Burna-by against the No. 8-team in regu-lar season play. In their two leagueencounters, the results were 0-0and 2-1 for Burnaby.

METROGIRLSROLLTO FINAL

For most members of the Burn-aby Metro girls u18 Selects this isthe last hurrah, so they are goingto make it last as long as possible.

With all but two players set toleave the minor soccer ranks dueto graduation, the squad has set its

sights on a few big prizes.Already crowned as the regu-

lar season select champions af-ter going 14-1-1, Burnaby addeda Coastal A Cup final spot to itscheck list.

The soccer team extended itsrun to the Coastal final – alongwith a berth to the Provincials inJuly – by clipping Surrey-Guild-ford 3-1 in their semifinal matchlast week.

Anjali Dhaliwal put Burna-by on the board first with a goallate in the first half.TeammateNicole Bell increased the lead to2-0 five minutes into the secondframe when she headed home awell-crossed free kick by Danijela

Gordic. Burnaby’s third tally cameoff the foot of u16 call-up GabbiZenone, who displayed some nicefinish from the shortside.

Surrey closed the gap with a latemarker but the game was virtuallyin the bag.

Turning in a stellar effort at cen-tre-back was captain Ana Lukic.

LATETALLYPROPELS BURNABY

Timing is everything, but evensometimes it seems to get a littletoo close for comfort.

The Burnaby Metro boys u13FC were staring at penalty kicksbefore striker Joey Cannova deliv-ered the winning strike in a thrill-ing 1-0 triumph over Langley to

advance to the Coastal A Cupchampionship final.

The win also secured a spot atthe Provincal Cup tournament.

Cannova’s goal came againstthe flow of play, when a Langleymiscue on their own 18-yard lineand a slick pass from Haniel Cruz,presented the sure-footed shoot-er with the ball at the edge of thecrease. Cannova made one dekeand slid the ball into the far cor-ner.

“We didn’t want to go to penal-ty shots, that’s for sure,” said headcoach Matt Manfredi. “We’re agood team in penalty shots, butyou never know. Langley played

The Burnaby Lakers believe size matters.For a B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League

team, that one component can play a bigrole when the hill to climb is so huge.

With one move, the team that finishedlast in 2015 grew by nearly a foot andpacked on a lot of weight in preparation forthe start of the 2016 season.

Burnaby shipped sniper Mitch McDoleto the LangleyThunder for a handful ofplayers, including second-year junior Con-

nor McNeil and 19-year-old twins Parkerand PearsonWillis.

The trade also netted the Lakers interme-diate-aged Kalien Corona andTyler Smith.

McNeil counted three goals and four as-sists in seven games with Langley last sea-son, while theWillis siblings showed goodhands during their first full junior season.

ParkerWillis counted 10 goals and 19 as-sists in 19 games as a rookie, while PearsonWillis tallied seven goals and 17 assists over18 games. As to size, Parker stands 6-foot-4and 220 pounds, while Pearson is 6-foot-3and 235 pounds.

All three are lefthanders.“They are big boys,” said Lakers gener-

al manager Brad Hara. “Size was an impor-tant consideration, but it wasn’t the onlything we were looking for.”

McNeil, a native of Chilliwack, was thefourth overall choice in the 2014 BCJALLmidget draft.Two months ago, he was votedthe MVP in the u18 tier 1 provincial fieldlacrosse final as he helped Langley top Co-quitlam for the gold.

TheWillises currently attend OttawaUniversity in Ottawa, KS as freshmen, join-ing fellow junior Lakers Damon Prince and

Fox Nahanee, the latter who became prop-erty of Burnaby in a swap last month.

McDole was second in team scoring with24 goals and 27 assists over 15 games as afreshman, after leading the Intermediate Acircuit in scoring in 2014.

“He was a tough guy to give up but wewere getting five solid players, young play-ers, in return,” said Hara. “I think the play-ers we acquired will replace (McDole’s)offence, and what we’ve added to the orga-nization is size and depth.”

The season kicks off May 1 when Deltavisits the Bill Copeland Sports Complex.

It took a playoff hole, but Si-mon Fraser University’s MichelleWaters sank a birdie putt to finishfirst and lead her team to the 2016Great Northwest Athletic Confer-ence women’s golf championshipin Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

A sophomore from Quali-cum Beach,Waters shook off atough second day which saw herswing from Monday’s low roundof 3-over par to a plus-6 onTues-day, drawing into a dead-heat withSaint Martin’s Jennifer Liedes.

In the lead for the first timeon the university circuit,Wa-ters couldn’t hold back a furiouscharge by the St. Martin’s senior,who began the final day in 14thplace but rose to a tie for top spotwith a tourney-low even-par.

That took the individual wom-en’s title to a playoff on thecourse’s par-5, 499-yard first hole.On in four,Waters drained a six-foot birdie putt, while Liedes, the2015 GNAC co-golfer of the year,salvaged a shot from in the treeswith a strong chip shot to landeight feet from the hole. Her birdieattempt ran too long.

“Honestly I have never been inthat situation before,” saidWaters.“I led on the first day and I had

never been in that spot, either, soleading up to the playoff I was verynervous on the first tee.”

She finished the two-day tour-ney at 9-over 151 (74, 77).

SFU claimed the team title withan eight-stroke advantage overWesternWashington, 617 to 625.

The Clan pulled away in thefinal three holes to compile aGNAC record two-round teamscore of 617 and win the pro-gram’s first team championship.

It also ended a string of fivestraight titles forWesternWash-ington, dating back to the start ofGNAC women’s golf in 2011.

“The second day it was kindof new for us (leading), a posi-tion we’d never been in before,” re-marked St.Thomas More alum-na and fellow sophomore BreannaCroxen. “We were a little ner-vous but we knew we had a goodchance at breakingWesternWash-ington’s six-peat bid.”

Tied for third overall was SFU’sKylie Jack, who recovered froman opening round of 8-over 79to shoot 3-over 74 and place twoshots back of the co-leaders.

Despite reflecting some of thenervousness the team had felt en-tering the final round,Waters with-stood the pressure of the playoff tostay on track, said Croxen.

“The playoff was pretty excit-

ing,” Croxen noted. “They wereneck-and-neck and basically hadsimilar lies after their first shots...(Waters) sank her birdie shot andwe were super-excited for her,pouring water on her.

“(Waters) is one of our hardestworking players on our team, so itwas great to see that rewarded.”

Croxen finished in a tie for 10thwith teammate Belinda Lin at158. Lin was consistent over bothrounds, firing identical 79s; Crox-en began the final round tied forsecond overall after an opening 76but struggled on Day 2 with an 82.

Finishing tied for 18th wasSFU’s Emily Leung, after two-daytotal of 160 (81, 79).
