A group opposed to major developmentplans for the Metrotown area vows to con-tinue the fight, despite a move by Burna-by council to proceed with the rezoning ofproperties.

The issue came to a head Monday night,as council discussed a city report related togrowth and the affordable and social hous-ing issues facing the community and dealtwith a series of rezoning applications.

The 15-page report details the current sit-uation around affordable and rental hous-

ing in Burnaby and also offers a response tovarious suggestions to handle the issue.

One suggestion has been to put a morato-rium on the demolition of existing buildings,but the report said the city does not havethe legislated authority to withhold a build-ing permit for construction of new buildingsand/or for the demolition of existing build-ings, where the applicant satisfies the provi-sions of the building code.

As for establishing a rental replacementpolicy, the city said it also does not have themandate to require the private sector to pro-vide rental units.

City politicians were pinning the problem

on senior levels of government, arguing thefederal government has neglected the issuefor two decades.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said solving theproblem is an impossible task without mon-ey and the legislative authority that resideswith the provincial and federalgovernments.

“This is a conundrumwe’ve been unable to solve.We continue to in our ownway find solutions, but it is ex-tremely frustrating,” he said.

Corrigan also suggested thecity has to continue to balancebuilding a “livable communi-ty” and providing amenities people expect,adding that pushing property taxes up onlypunishes the property owner and would

likely lead to an increase in rental rates.But Ivan Drury, an organizer with the Al-

liance Against Displacement, one of sev-eral groups that has opposed the develop-ment plans in the Metrotown area, calledthe city’s report and response a “diversion”

from the real problem.He said the issue isn’t

about building new rentalunits, but instead stoppingthe demolition of existingmarket rental housing.

While Drury agreed thecity doesn’t have the au-thority to determine landuse on existing zoning, he

argued the city has unlimited power

City points the finger at higher levels of government,but citizens’ group says response is a ‘diversion’

Brentwood Park celebrated thetransformation of an old driving rangepole into a traditional First Nationswork of art and symbol of communitylast month.

The school held a ceremony onOct. 20 to honour its newly complet-ed totem pole.

The pole is the work of First Na-tions carver JackieTimothy, who start-ed on the project in February.

Set up outside the school in a shel-tered area,Timothy laboured at thecarving for months, interacting withstudents, who often watched, chattedand helped clean up his work space.

“The kids have been really a bless-ing to me,” saidTimothy, who is origi-nally from theTla’amin First Nationnear Powell River.

It’s 10 o’clock Fridaymorning and a small table isset up near the escalators atLougheedTown Centre.

It’s the start of what couldbe a long day volunteer-ing forTrudy Black and hermom Lorraine.

For the next four hours,the pair will be manning thepoppy fund table in the mall,ahead of this year’s Remem-brance Day holiday.

A steady trickle of shop-pers stop by the table.

Each time, they slip a coin– some a toonie, some a loo-nie and in some cases evenbills – in a decorated boxand grab a red and blackpoppy neatly laid out on thetable.

Trudy began volunteer-ing with the North Burna-by Legion No. 148 15 yearsago and has been a mainstaywith the organization sellingpoppies.

“I enjoy doing it,” she toldtheNOW, as she stood bya table full of poppies in themall.

AndTrudy must enjoy it,given that she came to the

mall following an overnightshift at her job as a truckingdispatcher.

But today, she won’t bealone. Her mom is by herside.

Lorraine recently decidedto follow her daughter’s ex-ample and joined the Legionfor the first time this year,just a couple weeks ago.

Growing up, she said herparents took her to Remem-brance Day services and thetime of year was always im-portant.

Not only will mom anddaughter keep each othercompany through the shiftthis day, they’ll be each oth-er’s eyes and ears.

That’s because, unfortu-nately, a box full of cash istoo tempting for opportu-nistic crooks.

In the same spot a yearago, someone swiped thedonation box in broad day-light.

Trudy was working thatday but just happened toturn away for a split secondwhile two other volunteerswere sitting down at the ta-ble when the thief made offwith the box.

He was never arrested.This year, the cash box

is tethered to the table by achain.

The local Legion raised$34,000 in last year’s pop-py campaign and hopes toachieve similar numbers thisyear.The Legion will alsosell nearly 20,000 poppies.The money goes towardhelping veterans and their

families who are in need.Back at the table, the pair

also want to make sure noone loses their poppy, andthey’ve taken it upon them-selves to provide tiny earringcatches to keep the poppypins in place on clothing.

Trudy notes the peoplewho stop by to donate andpick up a poppy on their

way in and out of the mallcome from all walks of life.

People just likeVanessaKlein, who bought a pop-py.The Coquitlam residentsaid her dad was a KoreanWar vet and every year shebuys the little red poppy inhonour.

“We get to live free be-cause of what the soldiers

have done for us,” she said.Klein was also appre-

ciative of the efforts of theBlacks and many others forvolunteering to sell the pop-pies.

But the mom and daugh-ter aren’t volunteering theirtime for any pat on the back,even if it’s well deserved.

Trudy said she does it be-

cause she has veterans in herfamily and wants to carry onthe tradition of supportingthe men and women whofought for the country.

So she and her mom willbe back at the table the nextday, volunteering their Sat-urday to get a little bit moremoney to help the local vet-erans.

Work on the StoneyCreek rehabilitation projectmay be nearing an end, butit hasn’t come without atleast one final punch.

On Saturday, crewsopened up the culvert to useit for the first time, but a by-pass pump failure forcedwater to topple over thebank and run down AshGrove Crescent into a hous-ing complex.The waterflooded at least one garage.

While pictures from res-idents sent to theNOWshow at least shin-deep wa-ter in Ridgemoor Place, cityofficials downplayed the ex-tent of the flooding.

James Lota, an assistantengineering director withthe City of Burnaby, ex-plained crews opened the

culvert for the first time,which went according toplan. However, he said theflooding came once theytook the bypass pumps off-line and one of the hosesfailed. Lota said the watertopped the banks, runninginto a garage, but he not-ed crews were on site rightaway to clean up the water.

“There wasn’t that muchflooding,” he told theNOW.“As far as I understand,there wasn’t any damageto any property other thantheir garages getting somewater in it.”

Lota also suggested thesituation looked more spec-tacular than it was becauseof the redesign of the cul-vert. He said the city rede-signed the culvert and add-ed an “energy dissipationblock” or a concrete wallthat breaks up the water soit can run in a gentler man-ner.

The block is intended tostop the erosion of the trib-utary wall, which was thepurpose of the work in thefirst place.

“It looks spectacular, butthat’s what we expected it todo,” Lota said.

Saturday’s flooding wasn’tthe first incident for theproject.

GooddecisionsneedgoodinformationBelieving that it had a

war-ready population of 20million citizens in 1749, thegovernment of Sweden con-ducted the first-ever mod-ern census. Bluntly, leadersdiscovered they were shortby a factor of 10.

The rude awakeningprompted the governmentto invest in public healthand stem infant mortality.It was the beginning of so-phisticated, evidence-baseddecision making in govern-ment for the benefit of the

people.Flash forward more than

250 years, and it looks likewe’re finally returning to anera of actual evidence-baseddecision-making in govern-ment.

In its first act of policy-making, the Liberal gov-ernment announced thatStatistics Canada would re-instate the mandatory long-form census after it was un-ceremoniously scrapped bytheTories in 2010 in favourof an optional household

survey.With 25 per centfewer respondents, statisti-cians warned the value ofthe data collected from theoptional survey was ques-tionable to the point of be-ing, arguably, useless.

Whether it was scrappedto satisfy the more paranoid,libertarian branches of theparty or to confound criticswho used data to challengethe Conservatives’ agenda,we’re glad to see our mini-Dark Ages of governingfrom the hip are over.

People may forget it, butfilling out the census is acivic duty on the same levelas paying taxes and voting.The root of the word statis-tics, is in fact, “state.”

So when you sigh andgrumble about having to

take the time to fill out thecensus form, remember thatit’s part of your obligationas a citizen. And, moreover,it’s a good thing. Govern-ments can’t make good de-cisions with bad (or no) in-formation.

Let’s face it, every day bigand expensive decisions arebeing made, and we wantto be sure we’re on the righttrack.

Among the reliable infocollected in the census wasinformation on the length

of citizens’ commutes – thisas we’re moving to spend$140 million redesigningour Highway 1 interchang-es and the region struggleswith how it will pay for tran-sit improvements.

We hope this move marksthe return to evidence-based decisions in Ottawa.

When it comes to ourtime and our money, vagueguesses simply won’t cut it.

Mountie rescues puppy

WillTrudeauhelpB.C.?

Will British Columbiabenefit from what appearsto be a remarkably newera of government slowlyemerging in Ottawa?

There’s every reason tothink so, on a number ofpolicy fronts. And in manycases a large amount of fed-eral dollars flowing B.C.’sway seems likely to happen.

A lot of attention has beenpaid to newly minted PrimeMinister JustinTrudeau’smassive infrastructure plan,which could free up billionsof dollars for transporta-tion projects in MetroVan-couver. Suddenly, build-ing a Broadway subway line– long considered a politi-cal orphan lacking seniorgovernment support – nowlooks like it might actuallyhappen. So do those rapidtransit lines in Surrey.

Of course, both projectshave yet to develop a coher-ent business plan, which isrequired to get the federalgovernment’s commitmentof big dollars. If the mayorsofVancouver and Surrey arepaying attention, they wouldbe wise to kick start thatplanning post-haste.

Presumably, the newprime minister would alsoprovide partial funding forthe proposed new MasseyBridge.This project stillseems a bit iffy, as the rea-son the MasseyTunnelwas built in the first placewas because the soil at thatpart of the Fraser River wasdeemed unsuitable (toomuch silt) to support a mas-sive bridge.

But it’s not just bricks andmortar that may be coming

from Ottawa.What has re-ceived less attention – butinvolves more money overa longer period of time – isTrudeau’s promise to rein-troduce a health accord withthe provinces.

The last one (also au-thored by a federal Liberalgovernment) was arbitrarilytorn up by the Harper gov-ernment, which served no-tice to the provinces thatstarting in 2017 the annu-al funding “lift” for feder-al contributions to provin-cial health budgets would betied to the rate of economicgrowth.

This new formula wouldtranslate to a net reductionof hundreds of millions ofdollars to places like B.C.,whose older population (theAtlantic provinces fall intothis boat as well) meanshealth-care costs here mayrise higher and quicker thanin other provinces.That ratewill inevitably exceed theannual economic growth in-crease, which usually hoversaround two per cent (whilehealth-care funding increas-es are closer to three percent and higher).

If theTrudeau govern-ment revisits this fundingformula and changes it tobetter accommodate B.C.’sposition, that could translateinto hundreds of millions ofdollars on an annual basis.

Then there is that prom-ise to change the marijua-na laws, which could havea profound impact on theB.C. economy. But that’s atopic for another day.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Arts being neglected?Cry me a riverDear EditorDonnaPolos urges new fundingfor the arts inBurnaby, claiming thatwehavespent “tons” on sports venues in thepast.Shemust either have a shortmemoryor be anew resident of our city. In fact, the city spent“tons” ofmoneybuilding thebeautiful Shad-bolt Centre longbefore they spent anickel ona turf field anywhere inBurnaby.Until the city starts chargingBurnaby youthuser fees for entry into that centre,Ms. Polos,in relative terms,will havenothing to complainabout.MarkBerry,Burnaby

Here’s how to makeelections more fairDear EditorA committee of theB.C. govern-ment, after public consultation, has recom-mended specific spending limits in city andmunicipal elections, and the government isabout to legislate them. TheCanadianTax-payers Federationobjects (Opinion,BurnabyNOW, Oct. 30), saying limitswill disadvantageindividual candidates andencourage theformationof slates.Wehave abetter idea. TheCanadian con-stitution saysweare all equal; from thiswededuce that all individuals shouldhave anequal opportunity to affect legislation. Thus,campaign expenses shouldbe limited to con-tributions from individual voters only, and thateach voter shouldbe limited to anamountthat just about anyone canafford, somethinglike $50 to $100.Aswell, each local government shouldberequired todistribute statements fromall thecandidates, as theCity of Burnabydidbeforethe last election.DavidHuntley,Burnaby/NewWestminsterCitizens forVotingEquality

At an assembly lastmonth, the school gath-ered longhouse-style, sittingaround the outside of thegym to make room for per-formances by students andthe Urban Kwakwa’wakwCultural Group.

The event culminat-ed when the entire stu-dent body sang the womanwarrior song accompaniedby drums they had madethemselves.

The students then pre-sentedTimothy with adrum they had made spe-cially in his honour.

The totemTimothyleaves behind started out inFebruary as a seven-foot,1,500-pound segment of adriving-range pole pulledfrom the Burnaby Moun-tain Golf Course in 2010.

Now standing outside theBrentwood Park school of-fice, the completed workfeatures an eagle on top anda mother bear holding a hu-

man being at the base.The benefits of the

$10,000 project – fundedby the school’s parent ad-visory council, the schooland the school district – are“multifaceted,” according toBrentwood Park principalJillian Lewis.

“There’s the commu-nity building that goes onthrough the totem pro-cess, and having Jackie atour school was an extraor-dinary experience for us forthe last several months,” shetold the NOW. “It’s hav-ing a visual representationof aboriginal culture so thatour aboriginal students seethemselves in our school ex-perience and our non-ab-original students see aborig-inal culture just as part oftheir everyday life. … Forus, we’re looking to the fu-ture when everyone in Can-ada is aware and apprecia-tive of aboriginal culture,not just aboriginal people.”

The sediment issues havekept the local streamkeep-ers worried about the dam-age to the local fish habitatalong the salmon-bearingstream.

JohnTempleton, chair ofthe Stoney Creek Environ-ment Committee, said he’slost confidence in the con-tractor doing the work andquestioned what he suggest-ed was a lack of communi-cation between the stream-keepers and the city.

“This thing has just gonebeyond what it should havewent,” he said.

Templeton also continuedto question the timing of thework on the project, argu-ing it should have been doneearlier in the year before therainy season in the fall.

He said his group notifiedthe city last November thatthere was a serious problemwith the integrity of the Ga-glardi culvert.

While the city continuesto assess the damage to thefish in the creek,Templetonsaid all the salmon are goneand after Saturday’s event,

the spawning beds are cov-ered with granite and sand.

Even city officials ac-knowledged the difficultieswith the project. Lota de-scribed the project as “chal-lenging” but argued the cityhad no choice but to carryout the work now, fearingconditions with the creekwould get worse over thewinter.

Lota indicated the proj-ect is nearly complete withsome restoration work, likethe replanting of grass andshrubs, left to finish.

Sandro Camerin pickedup his first guitar at the ageof six.

“My mom said everyonewho came out of the lessonthat time was upset or cry-ing,” the North Burnabyresident recalled. “She said,‘You were always happy andskipping.’ I just liked it forsome reason and connect-ed with this teacher in a waythat nobody did.”

Today, Camerin is a re-nowned musician across theLower Mainland, havingplayed the strings for almost50 years.

His resumé includes per-formances at multiple ven-ues (theVanDusen Gar-dens, theVancouver EastCultural Centre, the Com-modore Ballroom, to namea few), a permanent gig atVancouver’s Federico’s Sup-per Club on Saturday nightsand a teaching business he’srun out of his home for thelast 20 some years. Locally,Camerin will be taking thestage this Friday (Nov. 13)during Burnaby’s inaugu-ral Beer Fest – an eveningof craft beer tastings, appe-tizers and live music. Pro-ceeds from the event will goto the Burnaby CommunityServices’ outreach programsthat help seniors and low-income families.

“It’s nice to be givingsomething back to Burn-aby,” Camerin told theNOW. “It’s kind of an hon-our to be in the first one.”The guitarist is a self-pro-claimed “chameleon,” whocan morph into anything.Whether it is folk, rock,blues, nuevo flamenco orclassical, Camerin can moreor less play any tune.

His influences growing up

were the likes of Led Zep-pelin, Jimi Hendrix, JohnMcLaughlin and Paco deLucía.

“I think my whole gener-ation grew up in the gold-en age. Guitar was the king.I often talk to my studentsabout the fact that it wasour Nintendo and all thedifferent gaming things.Youplayed an instrument,” hesaid.

Teaching, meanwhile,came to Camerin at a veryyoung age. He was only 14when his instructor askedhim to sub in. Four yearslater, his teacher died andCamerin was given a bookwith 70 names.

“His wife didn’t have thewill to keep it going. … Shesaid, ‘Go rent a place.’ I did,inVancouver at the time, sowe worked it up to 250 gui-

tar students a week for 20years, with five teachers em-ployed.”

Camerin shut hisVancou-ver studio down in 1994 af-

ter his son was born.Thefamily then moved to NorthBurnaby, where he’d even-tually add a 400-square-foot addition to his home toteach in.

Despite having to com-mute no farther than a fewfootsteps, the business keepsCamerin busy, with a ros-ter of about 80 students andabout 45 hours a week oflessons, some as far away as

Alaska who are taught overSkype. His students, he not-ed, are usually folks under20 or over 35.

When asked what he en-joys more, performing orbeing an instructor, Cam-erin said both are needed tobe an effective musician.

“Sometimes you’ve got aseven-year-old kid with theireyes wide open and you’re

My toes are going numbduring exercise! Why?!

Every week customers comeinto the store complainingof the dreaded “numb feet”feeling while exercising... Usu-

ally occurring 20-30 minutes into theirworkout, one or both feet begin totingle and eventually go numb. Whenselecting footwear we not only have to

think about factors such as function, price and brand, but themost important factor is size.People often end up buying shoes that are too small- particu-larly athletic shoes. A comfortably snug fit is preferred but wemust keep in mind the amount of swelling in the foot that oc-curs throughout your workout routine. I encourage you to takenew shoes home and wear them around the house for 1-2 hoursat the end of a long day and/or workout. If after that amount oftime your shoe still feels comfortable, your toes are happy, andthere’s no numbing sensation, we’ve nailed your size and you’reready to hit the pavement with them!

My dog has been losingnails and some nails arebent out of shape. Whatcauses dogs nails to beabnormal?

Dogs that have an active lifestyle

or dogs walking on pavement

generally wear their nails short.

Nails that are prone to fall off easily or

appear abnormal in shape and size, are signs of medical problems

in dogs. The most common condition causing misshapen or broken

nails is called Lupoid Onychodystrophy. This condition may be

due to multiple underlying causes and is easily treated using a

combination of medication, dietary management and supple-

ments. Other common causes for such symptoms include nail bed

infections due to bacteria or fungus.

The Hastings Veterinary Hospital has been a leader inthe veterinary field in Burnaby for more than a decade.Founded in 2013, the veterinary clinic is owned by two

brothers, veterinarians Dr. Jangi Bajwa and Dr. Amardeep Bajwa.Their mandate is to provide the most sincere and compassion-ate veterinary care possible. They are committed to setting thehighest standards of pet care and also believe in the impor-tance of educating pet parents during client consultations.“Keeping appointment times longer than the standard practiceof 15 minutes allows us the opportunity to get to know the petbetter and be able to discuss in more detail the best individual-ized care for each pet. We are lucky to have their uncondition-al love, and it is our responsibility as pet parents to do our bestby them” Dr. Jangi Bajwa says. “Treatments are tailored for everyfamily’s specific budget and needs, while still providing valu-able care. We also do our bit in helping where we can whenit comes to the cost of veterinary care. To ensure completerecoveries from illness, a majority of follow-up consultations areperformed at no cost” Dr. Jangi Bajwa added.

The Hastings Veterinary Hospital is also very feline friendly, havingrecently expanded their space to open a dedicated cat wing.“Cats like their privacy and a peaceful environment, and manycats are not exposed to the outside which causes added stressduring vet visits. Providing cats and kittens with the most relaxedveterinary visit is key.

LongmarchliftsKnightspastOwlsSt.Thomas More stops No.4-ranked Kelowna to secure a bye into AAA [email protected]

There will be no football thisweek for the St.Thomas MoreKnights.

On the strength of two LucaBellini touchdowns, the Knightsrallied to beat the KelownaOwls 14-7 on Friday and cap-ture the No. 2 Eastern Confer-ence playoff spot, securing a byeto start the B.C. AAA playoffs.

Bellini bolted to a 90-yardTD late in the third quarter toerase a 7-0 deficit, then cappeda seven-minute march witha four-yard major late in thegame to push the host Knightsin front 12-7. Demarius Hen-derson caught a two-point con-

vert pass from Liam Feenanto put the nail in the win andhome field advantage in thenext round on the board.

“We can still play better, butit was one of our (offensive)line’s better efforts in terms ofblocking and protecting therunner,” said STM head coachBernie Kully. “Finishing secondgives us some breathing room.”

The Knights entered thenight as an honourable mentionin the B.C. ratings but wrap theseason at 5-1 trailing just No. 1Terry Fox in the Eastern Con-ference.The victory leapfroggedthem past Kelowna and sets upa quarterfinal matchup with thewinner of NewWestminster andHandsworth on Nov. 20.

Bellini led the way with 183yards while Lucas DallaVecchiaadded 53 yards. Feenan com-pleted nine of 16 passes for 85yards. As part of the winningdrive, STM twice encounteredfourth-and-short yardage, con-verting both.

“It wasn’t a big decision, be-cause trailing and with the timerunning down, you have to gofor it,” noted Kully. “I think it’sa testament to the guys’ per-severance and determinationthat a tough team like Kelownawasn’t going to stop us.”

Ben Steele led the defencewith seven tackles, whileTylerEckert corralled six tackles andtwo QB sacks. Bellini and Hen-derson also finished with six

tackles apiece, while AnthonyPrpic picked up five.

Now the focus turns to a newfoe – with NewWestminster orHandsworth deciding who theKnights play on Friday, 7:30p.m. at Mercer Stadium.

“We’ll prepare for either out-come, but NewWest of coursewould be an interesting game,”noted Kully. “We haven’t playedeach other since, 2010 or 2011.

“They run a wing-T offenceso it’s something we haven’tseen much of… Our playbookwill be diverse because they aregoing to focus on (Bellini) justbecause of the yards he’s beenputting up. But we have otherpieces playing well and it will beup to us to get them the ball.”

A pair of North Burnaby Boxing Clubfighters are aiming to make the most of afriendly crowd thisThursday.

The North Burnaby club is hosting thefourth annual Confratellanza Italo Ca-nadese/NBBC Boxing night onThursday(Nov. 12) at the Italian Cultural Centre inVancouver.

While Charlie Dawson and Rhett Gib-bons are the lone North Burnaby club box-ers on the bill, both bring a lot of punch totheir respective matches.

The four-round main event promises tobe a big battle, remarked NBBC head coachManny Sobral.

Gibbons is putting his undefeated 7-0-1record on the line against 5-0 Ben Falcon-er of theVancouver-based Sargeant FitnessClub in what is being billed as for the citywelterweight title.

“This is a step, the city title, to the provin-cials,” said Sobral. “(Gibbons) just turned20, he’s looking really good and at 6-foot-1he’s got a lot of range. Both guys are unde-feated, so someone is going to leave the ringunhappy.”

While neither game was a rollover, the

Steelers pocketed the victories and movedthree points up on NorthVancouver in theTom Shaw Conference standings.

Adam Rota cashed in a rare penalty shotfive seconds into the second overtime ses-sion in a game the Flames forced to OTwith 47 seconds to play in the third.

On Sunday,Tim Chow and Brandon

Volpe counted a goal and two assists eachas the Steelers held off the struggling Pan-thers most of the game. Kristofor ZlomslicandVolpe netted powerplay tallies in thefirst, while Chow counted his second of theweekend in the second.

Gibbonsfights forcitytitleThe past six weeks Gib-

bons has done rigoroustraining in preparation forthe 147-pound welterweightcontest. It’ll be a prime testto see how he’s progressed,said Sobral.

“He’s very strong butwe’re still working to gethim stronger and technical-ly better. Boxing is one ofthose things where you nev-er stop learning.”

Dawson, 14, will be mak-

ing his competitive debutwhen he puts up his dukesagainst Manraj Dhanoa ofSurrey in what is scheduledas the first match of a seven-bout night.

“He’s really a strong kid,”noted North Burnaby coachDave Robinson. “(Daw-son) has had one exhibitionand we’ve been looking fora match for him, so this isimportant. (Dhanoa) is 15and has two fights under hisbelt so we’re going in new…There will be nerves but

he’s ready.”His style, which both

Robinson and Sobral callunorthodox, is high energyand dynamic.

“We say its unorthodoxbecause he comes in fromall angles, and he’s fast. It’sa great combination.”

The doors open at 5:30p.m. at the Italian Cultur-al Centre, 3075 Slocan St.,Vancouver, with dinner at 6p.m. and the fighting start-ing at 8 p.m.Tickets are$100.
