Burnaby city councillorNickVolkow knows first-hand just how wild thehousing market has becomein MetroVancouver.

He was one of the rough-ly 7,000 property owners inthe city who received a let-ter in December giving hima heads up the value of themodest home he boughtmore than 30 years agowould now be worth wellinto seven figures.

Specifically, the valueofVolkow’s home on Gil-pin Crescent was set to in-crease by about 35 percent, to $1.31 million from$956,000 just a year ago.

He jokingly described itas a letter to prevent peoplefrom having a “jammer” atthe door when they get theirreal assessments in the newyear.

This week, the value ofhis home was confirmedwhen he got his official as-sessment, and he’s notthrilled.

Volkow has been outspo-ken on the issue in recent

weeks, mostly over the con-cern of what an ever-in-creasing market will meanfor younger people trying toget in on the action.

He said he’s tired of hear-ing the real estate industry

refer to purchasing a homeas the “biggest investment”someone will make.

“You’re buying a home toestablish a family, to estab-lish yourself in the commu-nity,” he told the NOW.

“It’s a base for your life,it’s not an investment.Thelanguage in the conversa-tion in the region has got tochange. If we allow the realestate community and thedevelopment community

and the banking communitydefine the conversation, wellthen, this madness is goingto continue.”

The Burnaby politicianis calling on the federal andprovincial government to

step in and deal with the is-sue, also arguing for what hedescribed as an “onerous”speculation or vacancy tax.

Volkow’s situation is notparticularly unique.

If you’re looking to laceup the skates and take tothe ice on a city-ownedrink in Burnaby, there areonly three choices. But that

could soon change.Late last year, city coun-

cil asked staff to look at thepossibility of building moreice in the south slope of thecity and authorized a feasi-bility study.

Dave Ellenwood, Burna-

by’s director of parks, recre-ation and cultural services,explained the study is look-ing at several locations for anew facility in the city andalso whether to build onerink or a twin rink.

A couple of possible lo-

cations for the new facilityinclude the Edmonds areaand Bonsor Park, but henoted a final decision hasn’tbeen made.

Ellenwood also said thecity is still studying the de-mand for one or two rinks,

adding a two-rink facilitywould likely have multi-pur-poses.

“I think we’re going totry and make it as function-al as possible but not leave itshort in terms of amenitieslike meeting space,” he told

the NOW.Ellenwood suggested de-

mand for ice time is an im-portant consideration in theprocess, pointing out thelast arena service review wasyears ago, and since, there

ParentsandfamiliesneedaplacetogoLocal teacher one of three momsbehind campaign to raise funds fornew, cutting-edge autism [email protected]

Autism was nothing newto Burnaby teacher DebbieSiu two years ago.

With 13 years of teachingunder her belt, the GilmoreElementary School teacherhad taught lots of kids withthe disorder.

That didn’t make it anyeasier when her son Cam-eron was diagnosed with thedisorder at age three.

“That day, I still remem-ber it clearly,” Siu told theNOW. “It wasn’t that I wasin shock, but it’s just hard tohear those words come outof the doctor’s mouth forthe first time.”

As a teacher in a sup-portive marriage with goodfriends, Siu said she hadmore support than manyother parents she has spo-ken to since, but finding outa child has autism can be alonely time.

“As soon as you get thediagnosis, you’re just hand-ed an envelope, and you’rekind of on your own,” shesaid. “You don’t knowwhere to turn to for supportand get the funding or extraactivities for your child.”

That experience has in-spired Siu and two oth-

er parents of kids diag-nosed with autism (PortCoquitlam residents Patri-cia James and Keri Ken-nett) to team up and makesure parents who come af-ter them get all the supportthey need.

Besides sharing their ownstories to raise awareness,the trio will sell sterling sil-ver puzzle-piece necklac-es at 73 participating Lon-don Drugs stores in B.C.and Alberta for six weeksstarting Jan. 8, with all pro-ceeds going to the new Pa-cific Autism Family Centrethat is currently being builtin Richmond.

The centre will be a one-stop-shop for families ofchildren with autism.

“Parents and familiesneed a place to go where allthe resources will be underone roof,” Siu said.

Getting support early iskey for kids and their fami-lies, she said, and the firststep – difficult as it may be –is getting a diagnosis.

Unfortunately, many par-ents are reluctant to gettheir kids assessed, accord-ing to Siu.

“I see it every single daywith being in the school sys-tem – a parent’s in denial,afraid of getting the child la-

belled and what it’s going tolook like for the rest of theirlife. But I can bring my ownpersonal story into that,”she said.

For one thing, a diagno-sis brings with it $22,000a year in funding until agesix – at which time funding

drops to $6,000 a year.For Cameron, that has

paid for behaviour interven-tion therapy sessions fourdays a week.

They’ve made a world ofdifference, Siu said, helpingCameron deal with com-munication and other chal-

lenges.“He can wear boots now,

which could never happenbefore. He will wear socks.For one year, he honestlydidn’t wear a pair of socks,”she said.

Difficult as it was twoyears ago to hear a doc-

tor tell her her son had au-tism, Siu said she and herstudents have also ultimate-ly gained from her now-per-sonal relationship with thedisorder.

“It’s made me a betterperson, I think, and a betterteacher,” she said.

MAKINGADIFFERENCE

If you had problems trying toget in touch with the Burnabyschool district via email over thelast couple months, you’re notalone.

As many as 150 Burnaby schooldistrict staff email accounts werehijacked by scammers in Novem-ber and December, according todistrict secretary-treasurer GregFrank, wreaking havoc with thedistrict’s online communicationwith the outside world.

Frank said the staff email ac-

count holders fell prey to phishingscammers, who tricked them intorevealing their passwords.

The fraudsters then used thecontact lists of the hijacked emailaccounts to perpetuate the trick,sending out as many as a thou-sand fake emails an hour fromeach hijacked account.

“That gets flagged pretty quick-ly by the large service providersand email providers out there,”said school district informationtechnology services manager KenKiewitz.

Many of those providerspromptly blocked the district,crippling the district’s online com-munication with parents and oth-ers outside the district system.

“These things are always thereas a nuisance; however, it be-came more than a nuisance for us

part way through November andthrough December,” Frank said.“People rely on that level of com-munication as an organization outto parents and others out there, soit became more than a nuisance.It was an operational problem forus.”

Kiewitz said each of the com-promised accounts was shut downwithin about an hour of being re-ported.

To stop more staff from fallingfor the scam, Frank said the dis-trict launched a district-wide edu-cation program.

“We’ve actually done presenta-tion to all of our staff to make surethat they’re aware of this, that theyare watching closely what attach-ments they’re opening, what infor-mation they’re providing,” he said.

The district also started filter-

ing external email in mid-Decem-ber, only removing the filter earlythis week.

“That was just in an effort tobe able to be recognized as havingaddressed this issue by these largeISP (internet service providers)so that we could get back in theirgood books,” Kiewitz said.

The scammers would have hadaccess to email account content,like contact lists and emails be-tween teachers and parents, ac-cording to Kiewitz, but the districtisn’t worried about the privacybreach.

“They’re not interested in those

pieces,” Kiewitz said. “Their onlyinterest in the information is to tryand present themselves to be aslegitimate as possible to the enduser.That way they can attempt todupe a greater number of individ-uals by appearing to be more le-gitimate.”

The goal of scammers who hi-jacked the district accounts in No-vember and December isn’t clear,according to Kiewitz, but suchfraudsters are usually after mon-ey – sometimes tricking accountholders into sending wire trans-fers, sometimes taking over com-puters and demanding a ransom.

Neither of those happened inBurnaby, according to Frank.

“We don’t know if this is simplymischief; we don’t know if therewas a bigger plan in behind it ornot,” he said.

Thousands of proper-ty owners, especially thosein single-family homes, areopening their 2016 propertyassessments to find huge in-creases in value.

The average increase fora typical single-family homein Burnaby is between 15 to25 per cent. But the num-ber depends on where youlive.

According to B.C. Assess-ment, the value of a single-family home built in 1946in the Capitol Hill area in-creased 23 per cent to$937,000.

If you want to live inBurnaby’s Buckinghamneighbourhood, prepareto shell out even more bigbucks.

A typical single-fami-ly home in the area built in1971 jumped in value by 27per cent to $1.86 million.

Jason Grant, a regionalassessor with B.C. Assess-ment, noted any single-fam-ily property within 30 min-utes ofVancouver is seeingthe strongest increase in

value.“If you went all the way

back to 1980, you’d prob-ably only find maybe twoor three other times whenthe single-family market inBurnaby has moved by thismuch this quickly,” he said.

Homeowners might alsowant to take note the as-

sessments are based on thevalue on July 1, and Grantpointed out the market hasmoved even further since.

“It’s been some timesince I’ve seen a marketmove this strongly since July1,” he said.

“Chances are if you were

looking at the latest sale onyour street today as you’reopening up your assess-ment notice, it could be sig-nificantly higher than it wasback in July when we werevaluing your property.”

Multi-family strata resi-dential increases are in thefive to 10 per cent range for2016.

A typical highrise unit inMetrotown built in 1992 isworth about $511,000, upsix per cent.

But if you dare to dreamand want to own the mostvaluable residential propertyin Burnaby, you’ll probablyhave to keep dreaming, orwin the lottery.

The most valuable ad-dress in the city is locatedat 7629 Burris St. at a cool$10.5 million.

Second on the list is anacreage at 7868 Govern-ment Rd. worth $6.3 mil-lion.

It turns out, nine of thetop 10 most valuable prop-erties are worth more than$4 million.

Does the Virto V Replace TraditionalHearing Aids?Whether atwork,during conversationsin small groups or when watchingtelevision, one in six adults experienceproblems when it comes to accuratespeech comprehension and hearingin everyday situations.

4 Reasons To BookYourNext Bottle DriveWith


Justwhoownsthoseemails,anyhow?The premier has accept-

ed the lengthy list of rec-ommendations aimed atfirming up governmenttransparency in the wakeof the “triple-delete” emailscandal – as if these werethings that should have tobe spelled out to begin with.

Somehow, we’ve allowedour politicians and bureau-crats to get into the mis-understanding that thoseemails were theirs to beginwith. In the private sector,most everyone knows and

accepts that their employermay read their work-relatedemails.We are Christy Clarkand her staff’s employers,and we’re entitled to havea look.

Among the recommenda-tions: banning the triple-de-letion of emails from gov-ernment servers, creatingpenalties for anyone whodestroys government infoand forcing government tomake a written record ofmajor decisions.

The thought of punish-

ment for deleting public in-formation is nice, but we sayprevention is better than aremedy.

A far better system wouldbe one that removes com-pletely the ability to deleteemails from politicians andtheir staff.

This comes as the execu-tive director of the B.C. Lib-eral Party has stepped downto face criminal charges inOntario for allegedly arrang-ing the deletion of sensitiveemails related to their ongo-

ing gas plant scandal. Evenif we do get new legislation,sadly, we don’t expect thestick-handling to change.

The constant game of“catch me if you can” hasbecome a matter of routinefor governments and public-ly owned corporations.

It almost seems at timesthat politicians have decid-ed to just take their chanceson being caught hiding in-formation.What’s the worstthat can happen? – they mayponder as they delete and

shred material that couldmake them look bad. Sad-ly, the odds are on their side.The media has fewer re-sources to muster in filingaccess to information re-quests, and the average voterseems to have short memo-ries where government foul-ups are concerned.

The provincial Liber-als are not alone, however.This severe allergy to trans-parency and accountabili-ty is something all levels ofgovernment across Canada

have developed.There remains a motiva-

tion to stay one step ahead.While Stephen Harper’sConservatives were the stan-dard bearers for deception,others simply can’t resisttrying.

We hate to pin our hopeson JustinTrudeau, but hisinitial committment totransparency and opennessmay be the best news we’veheard from government in along time.

Let’s hope it sticks.

PipelineprojectbenefitsBurnaby

On Dec. 17, Kinder Mor-gan Canada stood beforethe National Energy Boardto present our case for themultibillion-dollar expan-sion of theTrans Moun-tain Pipeline system. It’s apivotal milestone for ourteam and represents yearsof planning, scientific stud-ies and meaningful consul-tation.

The scrutiny and rigourthis project has undergone,both inside and outside ofthe formal review process,is unprecedented.The inputand feedback we’ve gath-ered has created a stronger,safer and more responsiveproject. Safety is the corner-stone of everything we do,and our team has carefullydeveloped measures to pro-tect the health of our work-ers, communities and eco-systems. And 89 per cent ofthe proposed pipeline ex-pansion parallels existingpipeline or utility infrastruc-ture, minimizing communi-ty impacts.

One of the exciting thingsabout leading an infrastruc-ture project of this magni-tude is talking about thedirect and lasting econom-ic benefits it would createfor communities along thepipeline corridor and all Ca-nadians.The expansion willcreate more than 123,000person-years of employmentthrough construction andoperation of the pipeline.

The project will also cre-ate a long-term legacy oftax revenues to support vitalgovernment services that weall rely on. During construc-tion and the first 20 yearsof operation, it will generate

an additional $28.2 billionin taxes and royalties, andan additional $26.6 millionin annual property taxes forlocal governments and re-serves – that’s more thandouble the current amount.

The project is anticipat-ed to require approximate-ly $4.5 billion in goods andservices, and it will resultin an estimated $480 mil-lion in direct constructionworkforce spending, suchas meals, hotels and vehi-cle expenses, in communi-ties along the route. Newopportunities will flow intosectors such as transporta-tion, manufacturing, engi-neering, legal, accounting,retail and hospitality. Localcommunities and aboriginalgroups will also benefit fromthe agreements that we’vesigned to provide fundingfor educational, environ-mental and infrastructureprojects.

Burnaby residents will seesignificant benefits as a re-sult of the expansion. If ap-proved, the city will collectan additional $6.2 million intaxes, bringing the total toover $13 million annually.In addition, the project willresult in over $1.15 billionin construction spending inGreaterVancouver – $750million in Burnaby alone,and workers spending about$160 million on things suchas accommodation, mealsand clothing.

Canada is and should re-main an international modelfor responsible resource de-velopment, and we shouldbe proud of it.

IsTrudeau a socialistor just a human being?DearEditor I hadadreamtheother night, andas thedreamunfurled,Mr. Obama spokeonTVwith amessage for theworld. He said that hebelieved that propertywasnot something thatshouldonly beownedby individuals. Now,itmightwell be thatMr.Obamadoesbelievethat, but for him to express it eloquently onTV? TheTeaPartierswouldhave a fit, and thentheywould grab their guns.The concepts of public ownership of

property, or state ownership, are not the samething as sharing among individuals, but ifsharing among individuals is scaledup to thelevel of communities or nation-states, then theconcepts becomeequivalent. Humanbeingsshare things. It’s an essential aspect of our spe-cies, and the scienceof evolution tells uswhy.Allmy socialist friends are already tearing

into the Justin Trudeau Liberals, and theyhavea lot of evidence to support their position. Butthere is other evidence. A cabinet of 50percentwomen?This is a first for Canada. Imple-mentingproportional representationwhenfirst past thepost gave the Liberals amajority?Unheardof. Inviting all thepremiers andoppo-sitionparty leaders to theParis climate changeconference? Amarvel.We cannot knowyetwhat the Justin Trudeau Liberalswill actuallydo, but it’s starting to look as though theywillfulfil their electionpromises. I reservemy judg-ment. Historywill judge them.I don’t knowwhether Justin Trudeau is

opposed to the concept of private property. Idoubt that he is a socialist, but it seems clearthat hedoesbelieve in sharing: informa-tion, political power, responsibility; thosewealready knowabout. Justin Trudeaudoesnotneed tobea socialist. However, if he believesin sharing, thenhe is a humanbeing, andthat’s goodenough forme.Victor Finberg,Burnaby

Pipeline is the ‘rightproject’ for Canada

Columbians place on the environment,and as part of the expansion, we have pro-posed additional measures to further en-hance our industry-leading safety regime.This includes a $100-million investmentinWestern Canada Marine Response Cor-poration to double response capabili-ties for the tanker route, create five newresponse bases, cut mandated responsetimes in half and create up to 100 newjobs.

The world has changed since the origi-nalTrans Mountain Pipeline was built in1953. We need an expanded pipeline sys-tem that will provide access to new, high-paying markets. But communities cantake comfort knowing it will be done safe-ly while balancing social and environmen-tal interests, addressing concerns raised bythe public and unlocking billions of dollarsin benefit to our country.Today, we aremore confident than ever that this is theright project, at the right time, for Canada.IanAnderson is the president of Kinder

A group of local youth arefacing several charges fol-lowing a spree of robberiesthat came to an end in NewWestminster last week.

NewWestminster policearrested Burnaby residentAbdi Bulle and a teenagegirl, whose names cannot bereleased as outlined in theYouth Criminal Justice Act,near Moody Park, locatedat Eighth Street and EighthAvenue, at about 4:30 a.m.on Jan. 1.

Police say the two werefleeing the scene of a per-sonal robbery at the Petro-Canada gas station at 10thAvenue and CanadaWay,when they came across a

group of people in MoodyPark and attempted to steala phone from one of them.When the suspects failed tosteal the phone, they fledon foot and were promptlypicked up by patrol officers.

The minor was releasedon several conditions, whileBulle remains in custody.Both suspects are chargedwith two counts of robberyfor the alleged incident inNewWestminster and onecount of robbery for theBurnaby incident.The mi-nor was also charged withassault.

But these charges aren’tthe only ones Bulle is facing.

According to online courtrecords, Bulle is one of threeBurnaby youths charged inanother alleged robbery –

this one happened on Dec.11, 2015 in the Edmondsneighbourhood.

Burnaby RCMP con-firmed that 18-year-oldBulle, along with Ahmed Al-Lami, 18, andYuhana May-ich Kuch, 22, are all fac-ing charges stemming fromthe alleged robbery, whichMounties believe was partof a series of robberies inthe Edmonds-Kingswayarea that took place be-tween Oct. 1 and Nov. 30 oflast year.The trio is chargedwith two counts of robberyand one count of possess-ing a weapon for dangerouspurposes.

The group is scheduled toappear in court on Jan. 20inVancouver.

has been significant growthin the South Slope area.

“We know the demandis there now and we knowthere’s going to be futuredemand,” he said, addingthe city wants to provide formore adult groups, lessonsand public skating.

The cost for a new twinrink would be between$15 and $25 million, withthe funds coming from thecity’s density bonus pro-gram.

There are currently threecity-owned rinks in Burn-aby: Bill Copeland SportsCentre, Burnaby Lake Are-na and Kensington Arena.

Ellenwood said there isn’ta specific timeline whenthe study will be completeand in front of council fora decision, but the intent issometime in 2016.

And new ice couldn’tcome fast enough for theBurnaby Minor Hockey As-sociation.

Larry Hayes is the execu-tive administrator of the lo-cal association and said anew rink is a long time com-ing, and he’s not too pickywhere the facility is located.He said the minor hockeyassociation is “maxed out”in terms of accommodatingthe number of players andoffering reasonable ice timesto entice new members.

Hayes said everyonewants the prime ice times,but it’s difficult to providewith just three rinks.

He also noted there hasbeen an increase in the de-mand not just for gametime, but ice time for skilldevelopment as well as agrowing interest by kids andfamilies from non-tradition-

al hockey countries.“More ice means more

possibilities that we can pro-vide that for a greater chunkof the population,” Hayessaid.

“It’s been pretty toughwith the ice that we haveright now. It would be niceto have a little more optionsavailable.”

While the minor hock-ey association eagerly awaitsthe plans to move forward,the city is also conducting asecond study to determinethe future of the BurnabyLake Arena as part of theCG Brown Pool redevelop-ment.

Ellenwood said the city isalso looking at fixing up thearena, but the municipalitydoesn’t want to take it outof commission until a newrink is in place.

Burnaby’s mayor is ap-plauding a move by MetroVancouver to scrap a plan tobuild an incinerator outsideof the region.

Last month, the region-al district announced it wasdiscontinuing its currentwaste-to-energy (WTE)procurement process dueto uncertainty around fu-ture waste volumes and con-tinued reduction in residu-al waste.

Mayor Derek Corrigansaid he was not disappoint-ed by the decision.

“As I said from the be-ginning, it was a convolut-ed process that really didn’tanswer the needs of the re-gion,” he told theNOW.“It was a political compro-mise that was made becausethe provincial governmentwouldn’t approve the sol-id waste plan unless the op-tions for a waste-to-ener-gy facility included optionsoutside the Lower Main-land.That made it extreme-ly difficult.”

Corrigan also suggestedthe idea of barging garbage

miles away is “ludicrous.”However, he also argued

at some point MetroVan-couver will have to do some-thing with the issue, arguingthe need for another inciner-ator and the lack of capacityin the region to handle thegarbage.

Corrigan added continu-ing to send garbage to alandfill is much less sustain-able than waste-to-energy.

“Everybody knows thisis the best solution (to dis-pose of residual garbage),”he said.

It also looks like the de-cision by MetroVancouveris a boon to the localWTEfacility in Burnaby. MetroVancouver said it has invest-ed in enhancements to theBurnaby facility, noting inthe next five years, an addi-tional $30 million will be in-vested in capacity, technol-ogy and further emissions

control upgrades.“MetroVancouver re-

mains committed to waste-to-energy as the most sus-tainable technology solutionfor deriving benefits fromresidual waste after all ef-forts to reduce, reuse andrecycle,” said Greg Moore,chair of MetroVancouver, ina statement. “Given our col-lective achievement in recy-cling and waste reduction,the timeline for requiringadditional capacity has beenpushed forward by severalyears, enabling us to scale-up over time based on agrowing population and pre-dictable waste volumes.”

The Burnaby incineratorhas been burning garbagesince 1988. For the first sev-en years, the nitrogen di-oxide levels were above theregulatory standards, butthey dropped in 1996 andhave remained at lower lev-els ever since.

Emissions for sulphur di-oxide, carbon monoxide,particulate matter, dioxinsand furans have all been be-low regulatory levels sincethe incinerator was built, ac-cording to a MetroVancou-ver report from 2014.

Mayorapplaudsmovetoscrapgarbageplans

Everybodyknowsthis is thebest solution

Despite a slight decreasein use, this year’s OperationRed Nose campaign is be-ing hailed as success by or-ganizers.

Throughout the monthlong campaign, the holi-day service provided a to-tal of 934 rides in Burnaby,NewWestminster and theTri-Cities.The organizationalso raised $31,490 in dona-tion at an average of $33.72

per ride.In Burnaby and New

Westminster, the serviceprovided 285 rides dur-ing the campaign and raisedmore than $9,000 in dona-tions between the two com-munities.

While 2015 fell short ofthe previous year’s totals, co-ordinator ChrisWilson wasstill pleased with the overallcampaign.

“It’s still extremely popu-lar, extremely relevant andthe clients that we drive aresuper appreciative,” he toldtheNOW.

Operation Red Nose usesa team of volunteers to drivepeople and their cars home,for a donation.The moneygoes toward KidSport andgets divided by the rides ineach community.

Kinder Morgan has fin-ished remediation work onBurnaby Mountain follow-ing last fall’s survey workand mass protests.

The company hired aFirst Nations contractor toplant more than 350 treesin early December, mostlyat the clearing in the woods,where the company drilledto test the soil for a newpipeline route.

The clearing, which wasfilled with protesters andpolice last November, isnow full of cedar, maple,spruce and two types of fir.The company brought thetrees in by helicopter toavoid trampling the area.

Kinder Morgan spokes-person Ali Hounsell said the

project cost about $50,000and took a couple of weeks.The remediation crew in-stalled three sections of ce-dar boardwalk along one ofthe trails leading up to thesite.They also erected fenc-es, planted trees and usedbranches and logs to blocksome of the unofficial sidetrails leading to the borehole site.

Last fall, Kinder Morgancut several trees in the con-servation area (the city says13 trees, while the companysays seven), which contra-vened the city’s parks bylaw.The National Energy Boardbacked Kinder Morgan’ssurvey work, which led toan ongoing legal battle withthe city that will likely endup in the Supreme Court ofCanada.

Isclimatechangehelpinghummingbirds?

CHRISTMASBIRDCOUNT

The proliferation of a tiny,ruby-hooded hummingbirdin Burnaby is likely a reflec-tion of climate change, ac-cording to a local expertleading the Christmas BirdCount.

The annual census ofwinter birds noted a rise inrecorded sightings for An-na’s hummingbird, and it’sa trend that’s held steady forthe past several years.

“The progress in num-bers here is a real indicationon how they are becomingprogressively more abun-

dant,” said George Clu-low, an avid birder who’sbeen organizing the countsince the 1980s. “One ofthe things we believe aboutthem is they are benefit-ting from climate changein terms of their numbers.They are reproducing, andmore and more are surviv-

ing, because the climate isbetter for them.”

Anna’s hummingbirds areabout 10 centimetres long,and unlike other humming-birds, they are non-migra-tory.The first sighting inBurnaby was in 2008. Sincethen, the numbers havesteadily increased, from sin-

gle digits to 16 this year. Inpast years, Clulow relied onsighting reports from peo-ple who have hummingbirdfeeders, but now volunteersare spotting the species inthe field. Clulow attributedtheir abundance to warmerwinters.

Warmerwinters:Thenumbersof Anna’shummingbirds spotted inBurnabyduring theChristmasBirdCountareon the rise, possiblydue to climatechange. The tinybirdsarenon-migratory,meaning they stayput for thewinter, and thenumbers spotted locally are rising, year after year. PHOTOCONTRIBUTEDBILLMURDOCK

Edmonds’ work exploresanonymity and the Internet,looking at what is known asa “catfish” – that is, some-one who constructs a falseidentity over the Internet bysending false images and in-formation.

Henrickson, meanwhile,combines elements frommany mediums – waterco-lour, acrylic, inks, oils andcollage – to create contem-porary work that exploresthemes of expression, perso-

na and sense of life.Baoyu, who moved to

Canada from China in2001, has developed a prac-tice that specializes in realis-tic paintings of portraits andfigures.

improved rear seat access.Frameless doors give the 4Series an elegant feel as well.

Also, the 4 Series Gran Coupehas a more airy feel to itsinterior than the standardmodel. BMW describes it as a4+1 seater, and the cabin is asfunctional and comfortable asother BMWs.

PerformanceFor this year, the 4 Series Gran Coupe isavailable with two different engines. Both arefamiliar to those who know BMW.

The base model, the 428i, is powered by a 2.0-litreturbocharged inline-4. Output is rated at 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque which is surprisingly strong during acceleration.

Those wanting more can look at the 435i Gran Coupe,which is equipped with a 300 hp and 300 lb-ft 3.0-litreturbocharged inline-6. This turns the car into a truesports coupe.

Both engines use BMW’s TwinPower Turbo technology;this is a clever solution that boosts power output whilealso reducing fuel consumption.

Translating that power to the wheels is an 8-speedautomatic transmission. However, a Sport Automatic isavailable and adds paddle shifters to the steering wheeland a Sport+ mode that further enhances the character.

Currently, both 4 Series Gran Coupes models can beoutfitted as either rear-wheel drive or with BMW’sxDrive intelligent all-wheel drive technology. That maychange in the future, however, as BMW is making moreof its models standard with AWD in Canada.

The 4 Series Gran Coupe excels as a grand tourer. Itsroad manners are lively yet smooth, and the extra cargocapacity means you can bring all your necessary luggageand equipment without losing the “style”. The handlingis excellent, although the steering feels a bit numb

which is something that ishappening with a numberof BMWs due to the electricsteering mechanism.

EnvironmentThe 4 Series Gran Coupe isdesigned to accommodatefour passengers quitecomfortably. Materialquality is up to the standardeveryone has come to expectfrom BMWs.

Those riding up front will becomfortable, and two in therear seats will find plenty oflegroom. The middle seat isbest left for children as it’stight to say the least.

As mentioned, accessing therear seat is made easier inGran Coupe models versus thestandard 2-door trim, thanksto those two additional doors.Also, cargo space gets a bump,offering over 45 cubic feet with

the 40:20:40 split-folding rearseats down. Also, the hatchback-

style lid and large opening makesloading bigger items easier.

BMW has traditionally shaped the cabinaround the driver, and that doesn’t change

in the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Important controls arewithin easy reach and BMW’s iDrive control systemcontinues to improve and get simpler.

A 6.5-inch, free-standing colour screen is standardand runs the infotainment system. It is slightly angledtowards the driver, and when combined with theoptional head-up display, quickly provides importantdetails and keeps the driver’s eyes on the road.

To make the 4 Series Gran Coupe even more practical, thetrunk is equipped with a standard auto opening and closing.However, if you want maximum convenience, the optionalSmart Opener feature allows you to operate the hatch withyour foot (just swing your foot to open the rear hatch).

FeaturesThe 4 Series Gran Coupe is available in four trim levelswith starting prices ranging from $44,900 to $55,600.

Standard equipment includes auto climate control,heated front seats, heated rear seats, auto dimminginterior mirror, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlights,dynamic cruise control, auto start/stop, and a glasssunroof.

Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include a heated steering wheel, auto dimmingexterior mirrors, adaptive suspension, blind spotdetection, lane departure and collision warning,adaptive LED headlights, park assistant, a rearviewcamera, a navigation system, and on-board internet.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the 428i are 10.9city, 6.8 highway and 9.0 combined. The 435i returns11.4 city, 7.4 highway and 9.6 combined.

Thumbs UpThe Gran Coupe is just as stylish as the standard 2-doorversion, but it boasts more practical space. The ride issmooth and the driving character top-notch.

Thumbs DownWhile the 4 Series Gran Coupe has advantages over thebase model, it also costs more without providing a lot offeatures over the base models.

The Bottom LineIf you want the style and exclusivity of a coupe, but needthe practicality of a sedan, the 4 Series Gran Coupe can’tbe beaten.

Keeping the style and prestige of the standardcoupe, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe addssome appreciated practicality.

Not long ago, BMW re-arranged its modelrange and the number naming system.Traditional sedans now all have an oddnumber to start its name, while coupes aredistinguished by even numbers. This wassimple enough, until some marketing folks atBMW decided that some models can “cross-over” the two territories – thus was born theso called 4-door coupes or “Gran Coupe.” It

first started with the 6 Series and now the Gran Coupeconcept has reached the lower tier 4 Series with thesame striking design philosophy.

Since this niche is so small, direct rivals are few andfar between. Mercedes-Benz is one of the strongestsupporters of these 4-door coupes, such as its CLAmodels. The closest from BMW’s life-long rival Audi isthe A5, and Jaguar has the XF.

DesignThe 4 Series Gran Coupe retains the sleek look of thestandard coupe, but adds two rear doors. Sharing theexact some footprint as the 2-door coupe, the roof ofthe Gran Coupe is 12 mm higher and 112 mm longer.

At the front, the 4 Series’ exterior looks similar to its 3Series sibling. This generation’s styling is evolutionarywith the headlights now flowing into the double kidneygrille. What separates the 4 Series from the rest ofthe BMW range is the air breathers behind the frontwheels.

The roofline extends much further back than it does onthe standard 3 Series sedan and instead of a traditionaltrunk, the 4 Series Gran Coupe has a hatchbackdesign. At the rear, the 4 Series Gran Coupe takes itsinspiration from the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe.

The major advantage to the 4-door coupe designover the standard 4 Series 2-door coupe is the much

Tipsforbaytrees,fightingfungusgnatsQuestion:Last year I bought pot-

ted herbs and repotted them inlarger containers under a heatlight.They were successful, butI was plagued by fruit flies tothe point I gave up. I used milkand vinegar/soap solutions butto no avail. I want to give itanother shot,and any help youcan give me regarding soil andfly protection would be appre-ciated.

Bob,Burnaby

Answer:These flies are similar to

fruit flies, but when theycome from potted plantsthey are fungus gnats.Thetype of soil is no problem,but the moisture content is.Fungus gnats live and breedin moist soil. In dryer soil,they don’t breed and so dieout.

The best solution I’vefound is spreading about athird to half-an-inch (1 cen-timetre) deep layer of sandover the surface of the pot-ting mix where the plantsare growing.Then let thesoil dry out just a little be-fore watering again.

Some people deal withfungus gnats by wateringfrom the bottom and a fewhours later dumping the wa-ter and waiting a few daysbefore watering again.

Another alternative is adusting cinnamon pow-der over the soil surface– changing one’s cultur-al practices is always easierthan buying or mixing po-tions and disposing of bod-ies.

Many of the Mediterra-nean herbs prefer soil thatdries out periodically be-cause well-drained soil andperiodic droughts are thetype of situation they’reused to in the lands wherethey originate. Rosemary,thyme, sage and oregano areall Mediterranean herbs.

Parsley does best in fer-tile soil but can handle dry-ness because it has a taprootwhere it can store food andmoisture. Chives have stor-age in their bulbs.

Mint does better in moistsoil but prefers to be out-side if you can manage it.Fungus gnats don’t survivelong outside, because pestsof all kind are a free lunchfor birds.

Question:My bay tree was damaged

by cold temperatures last win-ter when I left it outside. I usu-ally put it into my tool shed.Do you know the hardinessof this plant for our wet, coldwinters?

JudithMacDonald,Vancouver

Answer:Your bay tree is a Medi-

terranean native. It’s a zone8 tree reputed to be hardyto 5F (15C) – but this is inperfect conditions: warmsouth wall, excellent drain-age.

This means that on theGulf Islands, onVancouverIsland and on very shelteredsouth slopes and inVancou-ver areas close to the sea,garden-planted bay treesusually survive.

But even there, they’re al-ways susceptible to colder-than-normal temperaturesor unusually chilly windsespecially when cold com-bines with wet. So in ourpresent climate their wintersurvival outside is always agamble.

Since you put your baytree in a shed overnight dur-ing winter, it’s probably in acontainer. Container plantsneed to be one zone hardi-er than those planted in gar-dens where their roots aresheltered in earth.

Whenever temperaturesdip below freezing, your baytree should be in your shedday and night – hopefully bya window.

Don’t be surprised if it

defoliates.This is a responseto sudden, stressful chang-es. Lemon trees do the samething. Bay trees almost in-variably leaf out again inspring.

The score said it all.The Royal City Curling

Club’s Sarah Daniels rink is the2016Tim Hortons B.C. JuniorWomen’s curling champion, af-ter toppling last year’s champs inan 11-3 win in Kamloops.

The RCCC rink, which in-cludes Daniels, third MarikaVanOsch, second Dezaray Hawesand lead Megan Daniels, eraseda 1-0 deficit with a barrage ofpoints midway through the finalto upset the undefeated home-town rink of Corryn Brown.

“It was very exciting.We knewit would be a tough game so wejust wanted to focus on the pro-cess, to do what we can to playour best and it all worked out,”said Hawes. “There definitelywas some history between ourtwo teams so we knew what wehad to do, and that was just playour game.”

That history included a pairof losses to the Brown rink ear-lier in the week: an 8-3 setbackin round robin play and 11-7 inthe quarterfinals.That last de-feat, which saw Brown rally withfive points in the 10th end forthe win, proved to be vital ex-perience that came in handy inthe end.

In the final showdown, Brownopened with a 1-0 lead after thefirst end and held it until thefourth when the Daniels rinkcashed in five and stole one inthe fifth to build a comfortable6-1 lead.They’d pad the leadwith two in the seventh.

Hawes said the challengesduring the draw only preparedthem for the pressure of the fi-nal.

“Mental toughness has beenone of our big goals, to improveon,” she said. “I think there arealways little hurdles you face butwe stayed focused on our game-plan and carried it through.”

The Daniels rink, co-coachedby Ernie Daniels and KatieWitt,won its first four games convinc-ingly before crossing paths withBrown in an 8-3 round-robinloss.They rebounded nicely witha convincing 12-4 victory overthe Locken rink, then edgedCoulombe 7-6 with single pointsscored in the ninth and 10thends to come from behind.

That put them on a collisioncourse with Brown in the quar-terfinals. Dusting themselves off

Burnaby makes pre-draft splashLakers add one sniper and the first pick overall in next month’sWLA junior [email protected]

It took some doing, but theBurnaby Lakers have put them-selves in the catbird seat.

Vying to join theWestern La-crosse Association’s upper ech-elon, the Lakers wheeled anddealed themselves into a positionof strength by parcelling up CaseyJackson and a handful of draftpicks to acquire Eli McLaugh-lin and the No. 1 selection in nextmonth’s junior draft.

After last year’s disappointingplayoff miss -- finishing fifth overallin a three-way tie for third place --the Lakers were itching to add animpact player.

With two of the top-threeranked graduating juniors of thetransition variety, Burnaby decidedto shoot for the moon and shippedtheir third overall pick, both theirsecond and third round choices, athird in 2017 and Jackson to Na-naimo for the top pick in the Feb.10 draft.

The top offensive-skilled play-er available is Josh Byrne, a NewWestminster junior who counted118 goals in 43 junior games.

“He certainly is being touted asthe best player, offensively, in thisyear’s group,” remarked Burna-by president Ed Safarik. “(Lakersmanagement and scouts) are still

talking but there are three play-ers we feel who are above the rest.Right now, I’d say we’re leaning to-wards (Byrne).”

Another lefthanded shoot-er is also something that the teamhas on its checklist, but gettingMcLaughlin in the swap -- himselfthe second overallchoice in 2015 -- ad-dresses part of thatneed.

“We’re still dis-cussing (our draftpriorities) but it’s agood discussion,”said Safarik. “Scor-ing was an issue lastyear, and with (Jack-son) getting a job inVictoria, we neededto accommodate hissituation and replace him.”

Getting the No. 1 pick alsoadded a layer of intrigue to nextmonth’s proceedings, which unlikerecent drafts will be a closed affair,open only to team officials and themedia.

The NewWestminster seniorSalmonbellies had earlier scoopedup the second overall pick in thedraft off of Coquitlam, likely withan eye on claiming the hometowntalent.

Safarik conceded that last year’sresult was partially due to off-floor losses; netminderTyler Rich-

ards retired a week before the sea-son began, andTyler Digby movedmid-season to Pittsburgh.

Early indications suggest Dig-by is entertaining a return to theWLA, and is currently a key mem-ber of the National LacrosseLeague’s Calgary Roughnecks.

The netmind-ing situation will re-quire addressing, theBurnaby presidentsaid, with a possibletrade the best solu-tion to getting soph-omoreTye Belangera strong challenger.

“We are going toconsider the avail-able options, butsome teams backeast may have three

quality goalies, and there may bean opportunity there.”

NewWestminster said they willbe happy to choose the best playeravailable at No. 2, and believe anyof the four top graduating playerswill be impact players.

“This is the fun time of the sea-son where everyone is tied for firstplace, everyone is aiming to be thechampion,” said Richardson.

“To be honest we see this as atwo-tier draft, where the top-fourplayers are real impact players andwe definitely feel at No. 2, we willget a player who can help us take

that next step.”Joining Byrne among the most

coveted are Coquitlam grads Mi-chael Messenger and Challen Rog-ers and Langley’s James Rahe.

Richardson isn’t tipping hishand, but feels the club will do wellwith the second choice.

“(Byrne) played well for us inthe playoffs, he’s a NewWest guyand there’s no doubt he’s some-one we’d love to have. But Mes-senger, Rahe and Rogers are allimpact players too and our scoutsand I think any of the four wouldbe great additions.”

Safarik likes the foundation theteam has built over the past hand-ful of years, led by veterans DaneStevens, Jason and Scott Jones,and all-star Robert Church.

It’s a core that, if intact, shouldput them in the race for secondplace at least.That’s what madelast year’s finish so frustrating, hesaid.

“Three of us were equal and(second-place NewWest) was rightthere, too,” said Safarik. “Therewasn’t much space between us.A lot of things went wrong andyou can blame some externalfacts but if we had played a littlemore head’s up and just won oneof those last two games we’d havebeen (in the playoffs).”

Public hearing on highrise Teen released on bailMermaids Are Real

Firefighters’ talksstallonarbitrator

[email protected] could be 2016 before Burnaby fire-

fighters get a new contract, and that’s only

if the city and union can agree on an arbi-

trator.It’s been nearly four months since the

City of Burnaby and the International Asso-

ciation of Firefighters Local 323, which rep-

resents 281 firefighters in Burnaby, met for

mediation, and since then there has been

minimal movement towards a new contract.

In fact, both parties are still trying to

agree on an arbitrator.

“It’s kind of hard to decide when they

keep throwing back the same name to us.

We’ve offered four and they offered three,

and then we said no to the three and then

they offered one of the three back again to

us,” said Rob Lamoureux, president of Lo-

cal 323.Lamoureux said the union’s top choice is

well-known arbitratorVince Ready, who re-

cently negotiated a deal for firefighters in

Prince George, but because he’s so in-de-

mand, it’s unlikely he would be available be-

fore the new year.Lambert Chu, deputy city manager and

liaison for the Burnaby Fire Department, is

hoping, however, to get the process moving

as soon as possible.“We’re trying to find an arbitrator that

has a fairly open schedule to allow us to get

a quick appointment so that the case can be

heard,” Chu said.At this point, however, Lamoureux said

he and the firefighters are willing to wait for

the right arbitrator, especially since they’ve

been waiting more than three years for a

new contract.“We’ve waited so long we want to make

sure we get the right arbitrator,” Lamou-

reux said. “I don’t want to take our chances

and roll the dice with anybody. Another six

months, it’s no big deal now, we’re already

three years in.”The NOW asked Chu if anyone on coun-

cil or the mayor was trying to drag this pro-

cess out, considering how long it’s taken so

far, but he was adamant that council and

the mayor aren’t involved in the negotia-

tions.“This is done right at the staff level.This

contract negotiation is carried out through

the city manager’s office and a representa-

tive from the fire union, and we basically

keep our council informed of the progress,

but the council isn’t involved in any negoti-

ation,” Chu said.Lamoureux doesn’t buy that.

“I would disagree. I can’t believe that,”

he said. “I can’t believe that this is being …

controlled by the city manager’s office.

“You look at common sense and you look

at what’s gone on in the whole region.We’re

at 22 locals – two arbitrated and 20

people weren’t home.”Heighton added voter apathy was

another road block.“A lot of them said, ‘I don’t vote, so
