Around 30 volunteers are at the SchoolDistrict No. 41’s maintenance shop today(Friday) putting the finishing touches on theBurnaby school district’s first-everVancouverPride Parade float.

The local school district has participat-ed in the parade for the last two years, butits entries – consisting of groups of trust-ees, teachers, students and parents march-ing beside decorated school district vehicles– weren’t exactly fabulous.

“Shortly after the last year, we got a lot ofcomments from all of our partner groupsthat we should have maybe a better presence

than what we had last year and the year be-fore that,” trustee GaryWong told the NOW.“Most people felt it was lacking.”

The outcome of those discus-sions is this year’s float: a 20-foot trailer decorated in thestyle of a traditional classroom,complete with two rows of stu-dent desks, a teacher’s deskand a chalkboard with the lines“Diversity is a beautiful thing”written on it.

District parent advisory coun-cil chair Jennifer Mezei came up with class-room idea, according toWong, and DPACvolunteers will pitch in decorating the floatand walking in the parade.

CUPE has also donated time haulingdesks and other old classroom equipmentout of storage for the parade entry.

Trustees, meanwhile, have donated 5,000Frooties candies to hand out during the pa-rade. All that remained Friday was to jazz upthe float with banners, bunting and flags.

Involvement in the parade isa way to showcase what thelocal school district stands for,according toWong.

“I think it demonstrates ourcommitment to human rightsand that Burnaby schoolswelcome all students and wedon’t screen our student for

things like sexual orientationand everyone’s welcome and we provide asafe and caring learning environment for allour students,”Wong said.

Burnabywon’thelpwithNEBpolicing

[email protected]

The National Energy Board has askedthe City of Burnaby to help provide po-lice for the September Kinder Morganhearings, but the city has said no.

The board asked for seven RCMP of-ficers and one field supervisor and of-fered to cover the costs, but Burnaby de-clined in a July 29 letter.

“It is with regret that the City ofBurnaby will not be able to authorizethe reallocation of police resources fromthe Burnaby detachment for the servic-es requested,” wrote Lambert Chu, thecity’s deputy manager. “The reassign-ment of seven police officers plus onesupervisor to the hearings would reducethe operational strength of the Burnabydetachment and compromise its abilityto respond to major emergencies and tomaintain public safety during these situ-ations.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan andthe RCMP could not be reached for im-mediate comment, but city lawyer GregMcDade criticized the NEB’s police re-quest.

“The reason why they need the po-lice is to keep the public out,” he toldthe NOW, adding that the NEB issued aruling banning the public from sitting inon the hearing.The only people allowedto attend will be actual intervenors, andthey’ve limited them to two people perintervenor, he explained.

“What kind of a public hearing is itwhere you are keeping the public outand you are so afraid of the public at-tending, you’re asking for police pres-ence, you’re asking for armed guardsto keep the public away from the boardpanel?” he said. “What are they afraidof?”

The newly formed federal riding ofBurnaby North-Seymour will be the oneto watch in the next election, as things areshaping up to be a tight race in the ridingthat combines half of an NDP strongholdwith a traditionally right-leaning piece of theNorth Shore.The writ may be dropped asearly as this weekend, but these candidatesare already in campaign mode. Conflictingpolls show the Liberals, Conservatives andNDP all have a decent shot at winning.

LIBERALS

According to the Liberals’ internal poll-ing for the riding, conducted roughly sevenmonths ago, the Grits were in the lead with33 per cent, trailed by the Conservativeswith 31 per cent, the NDP with 26 per cent,while the Greens, who did not have a candi-date at the time, had 11 per cent.

Liberal candidateTerry Beech said hiscampaign has looked at the voting historyin the new riding (from superimposing thenew boundaries over past election results),and never in the history of that riding wouldthe area have gone to the NDP.

“When you look at the numbers, theycan’t take any more votes from the Liberals

than they al-ready did inthe last elec-tion,” Beechsaid. “In 2004and 2006,this riding –with the votescounted as

they have been– would have been Liberal, and in 2008 and2011, it would have been Conservative. Al-though the NDP does consistently well inthe riding, it seems to be there’s 4,000 or5,000 votes that switch between the Liberalsand the Conservatives that the NDP wouldhave to go after in order to have a chanceat winning. As of the last election, the onlypoints those could come from is the Con-servative base.”

The Grits are already zeroing in on Burn-aby North-Seymour, and leader JustinTrudeau has made two Burnaby visits re-cently – the last on July 23 to thank volun-teers.

Beech also pointed out that the riding’scandidates are all newcomers and theToryand NDP incumbents have decided to runelsewhere.

CONSERVATIVES

Conservative candidate Mike Little hasbeen door-knocking since January, but hehas not done any riding-specific polling.

“What we’ve mostly been focusing onis re-identifying the vote that we identifiedin 2011,” Little said. “In 2011, obviouslythere was a campaign with Ronald Leung,and they identified quite a few Conserva-tive supporters, so our focus is to re-identi-fy support.”

Little also noted Prime Minister StephenHarper came to the riding. (Harper went toa North Shore secondary school in April.)

“Hopefully, we’ll have him back before

the election, but it’s obviously going to be afocus riding for us,” he said.

NEWDEMOCRATS

New Democrat Carol Baird Ellan, a re-tired judge, started door-knocking “in ear-nest” two months ago. She said her par-ty has not done any internal polling, butshe pointed to an InsightsWest poll in May,commissioned by the Dogwood Initiative.The results put the NDP in the lead with35 per cent, the Greens second with 19 percent, and theTories third at 15 per cent.(The Liberals barely registered with just sixper cent.)

“We see polls from time to time. It’s in-teresting to see how they vary almost basedon who’s conducting them sometimes. Cer-tainly, what we’re hearing at the door is agroundswell of support behind the NDPandTom Mulcair,” she said.

Baird Ellan said she wasn’t nervous thenew riding would tip to the right.

“We’re not concerned about that, partic-ularly given what we’re hearing on the door-step in NorthVancouver,” she said. “Wehear people saying all the time, ‘I’ve alwaysvoted Conservative, and I’m voting for youthis time.’”

GREENS

SFU professor Lynne Quarmby said theGreens have done some internal polling.

She declined to discuss specifics but saidthe results were close to the InsightsWestpoll, which put the Greens in second with19 per cent of the vote, much higher thantheir typical four per cent.

“If you look at my trend line, I’m goingup,” Quarmby said. “This is going to be atight race. I think it’s going to be really hardto call.”

Quarmby, who’s been door-knockingsince spring, is up against voters who don’twant to split the left and letHarper back in.

“The strongest messageI’m getting on the door-step is: ‘I think you’re great.I think you’re the strongestcandidate. I love what youstand for, but I’m not sure Ican vote for you, because I’mworried about Harper gettingre-elected,’” she said. “I thinkI’m strong enough that it’snot about splitting. I’m a seri-ous contender.”

Quarmby said the riding would be inter-esting and difficult to call, even in the elev-enth hour.

ONE EXPERT’SOPINION

But who believes polls anymore?Doug McArthur, head of SFU’s school

of public policy, noted Burnaby North-Sey-

mour is a swing riding, but he takes all pollswith a grain of salt.

The Liberals’ internal poll used interac-tive voice response technology, meaning re-spondents never spoke to an actual human.McArthur said that’s the “least reliable”method because it’s hard to know how rep-resentative the sample size is.The smallerthe sample size, the less reliable the resultsare, he noted. (The InsightWest poll onlyhad 301 participants in the riding.)

“I think what you can sayis we know the Liberals areclaiming they’re doing quitewell, the NDP claims they’redoing quite well. I wouldguess that fits the notion ofthis as a competitive constitu-ency,” he said.

Nationally, the Liberals andthe Conservatives have beenon the decline since January,while the NDP has pickedup considerably, accordingto CBC’s poll tracker, which

combines all major public opinion polls.TheTories made gains in July, but they

were tied with the NDP at press time; bothhad 31.6 per cent and neither with enoughseats to form a majority government.

Vancouver and Burna-by are the only districts withentries in the parade, butthat’s not because they’rethe only ones committed tocelebrating diversity relat-ed to sexual orientation, ac-cording toWong.

“There are a lot of oth-er school districts that dohave similar policies to whatwe have,” he said. “I wouldthink that, because we’rein the Lower Mainland, itmight be a little bit easierfor us to participate in theparade as opposed to some

that aren’t as close to what’sgoing on. But I certainlywould welcome more school

districts to participate.”Costs for the district’s in-

volvement will be minimal,

Wong said, with $200 forthe parade entry fee andabout $75 for a barbecueFriday for volunteers.

Anyone interested in join-ing the school district entryin the parade can meet thegroup onThurlow Streetbetween Haro and Robsonstreets by 10:30 a.m.

Don’t expect a ride on thefloat, though. School districtinsurance doesn’t cover any-one who might be injuredriding on the float, so thedesks will remain as emp-ty as they usually are duringthe summer months.

A man shot and killed inVancouver Monday nightwas facing a manslaughtercharge in the fatal shootingof a Burnaby man last fall.

Samir Mokhtar, 20, wasfound dead on the side ofthe road on Seaforth Drivenear Rupert Street inVan-couver shortly after 9 p.m.Monday after police re-ceived several reports ofgunfire in the area.

Mokhtar was on bail on amanslaughter charge stem-ming from the fatal shootingof 20-year-old Aladdin Ra-

madan outside a Burnabyresidence in the 2000 blockof Rosser Avenue on Sept.24, 2014.

A Canada-wide war-rant for Mokhtar was issuedshortly after the shooting,but theVancouver residentfled the country. He resur-faced three months later atthe Seattle-Tacoma Interna-tional Airport on Dec. 10,2014, when he was detainedby U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection officers andturned over to Canadianauthorities.

Police are treating his kill-ing as targeted but have yetto determine a motive.

“There are theories beingdeveloped, but (it) would beinappropriate for me to dis-cuss those at this time,”Van-couver Police DepartmentConst. Brian MontagueMontague told theVancou-ver Sun in an email.

By press timeThursday,no arrests had been made inconnection with Monday’sshooting.

Thenation’seyesmaybeonBurnabyAll eyes, it seems, may

well be on Burnaby comefederal election night.

If the local parties con-cerned are to be believed,the newly drawn riding ofBurnaby North-Seymourmay well be one of the na-tion’s horse races.

Let’s be clear up front.We’re more than a littleskeptical of the numbers in-volved – we tend to distrustinternal party polling, andthe numbers being bandiedabout by the Liberals are

seven months old (which, inpolitical terms, might wellbe several lifetimes ago).

But the principle behindthem is nonetheless intrigu-ing.

There was certainly atime, not so long ago, whenno one would have muchquestioned what the votersof Burnaby North woulddo. (Does the name “SvendRobinson” ring any bells?)

But now, thanks to a rid-ing boundary shakeup, wehave the traditionally leftist

territory of Burnaby joiningforces with the traditionallyright-of-centre North Shore– which pretty much makesthis one an “anything goes”situation.

Adding to the intrigueis the fact that every sin-gle candidate in the ridingis new, since the city’s NewDemocrat incumbents arerunning elsewhere (Ken-nedy Stewart in BurnabySouth and Peter Julian inNewWestminster-Burna-by). Not to mention the fact

that the federal landscapehas changed rather signifi-cantly since the last election,when the late Jack Laytonled his NDP to an unprec-edented “Orange Crush”and Liberal leader Michael

Ignatieff went down to in-glorious defeat. Replacethose two leaders withTomMulcair and JustinTrudeau,respectively, and you’vejust shaken up the picture awhole lot more.

But what will this allmean for Burnaby?

Whoever wins, we at leasthope that the possibility ofa three- or four-horse racemay motivate people to getto the polls.

Too often, it seems, voterscan become apathetic when

the outcome seems foreor-dained.

Maybe, just maybe, thethought that this riding isanyone’s to win will moti-vate voters to turn out in re-cord numbers.

And maybe, just maybe, ahigher voter turnout will re-sult in a government that’smore representative of thepopular opinions of Canadi-ans than the existing Parlia-mentary imbalance.

We can only live in hope.

After the tsunami

Coal industryboostsB.C.

Many municipalities andtheir residents might be sur-prised by the scale of coalindustry spending that goeson in their own backyards,including those in Met-roVancouver far from themines themselves, such asBurnaby.

While the 26,000 jobsand $3.2 billion annual-ly in economic activity thatthe industry is responsiblefor might be better knownpublicly, a recent survey ofspending by Coal Alliancemember mines and termi-nals reveals that more thanhalf of B.C.’s communitiesand thousands of business-es across the province werethe beneficiaries of $5.16billion in spending on goodsand services between 2010and 2014.

Across MetroVancou-ver, the figure amountedto more than $2.1 billion –spending that generates taxrevenue which in turn helpspay for many of the munici-pal services we depend on.

In Burnaby, spending byCoal Alliance members to-taled $130.4 million overthe five-year period.

Much of this spendingis with small and medium-sized businesses that sup-ply equipment, materialsand services for daily op-erations – everything fromenvironmental consultantsand equipment manufactur-ers to local catering servic-es.The economic benefits ofcoal filter into a huge cross-section of B.C. society.

But the benefits of coalgo well beyond the econom-ic arguments.The fact is,

we all rely on B.C.’s coal in-dustry in much more di-rect ways as well. Most ofthe coal mined here in ourprovince is steel-makingcoal, and steel is an essentialpart of our daily lives.

With the holiday weekendupon us, take a momentand think about it.

Is camping in one of Brit-ish Columbia’s scenic parkspart of your plan? Every-thing from the tent trailerand the car hauling it, to theportable barbecue and thepots and cutlery you’ll eatwith has steel in it.

Maybe roughing it isn’tin your plans. Instead you’llhead out onto the oceanor one of the thousandsof lakes in B.C. for a littleboating or fishing.Think ofall the items that need steel,from the boat’s engine tothe hooks that will bring inthe big catch.

It could be that relaxingand doing a little backyardgardening is all you plan todo this summer.Well, every-thing from garden tools tothe water faucet at the endof your hose is made withsteel.

The point is, steel is partof our everyday lives, andBritish Columbia’s coal in-dustry is proud of the manycontributions it makes, notonly to the communitiesand businesses across ourprovince, but also to themany products that we allrely on.Alan Fryer is with the Coal

Alliance,which brings togeth-er representatives from the coalindustry, including mines, rail-ways, labour and others.

Senate move is justdeflection by HarperDear EditorWhenever politicianswant to shiftpublic attention away from their own failures,they invariably choose to toss theball intosomeoneelse’s court.Christy Clark did it to theMayors’ Council

regarding transit funding, andStephenHarperis doing it to provincial premierswhenhe saysamoratoriumonappointments “will force theprovinces” to come to gripswith thequestionof Senate reform/abolishment.Harper stoppedmakingSenate appoint-

ments twoyears ago. If he trulywanted toachieve anational consensus, hehas hadat least thatmuch time to convenea FirstMinister’s Conference to launcha consultativeprocess. But, of course, hehas consistentlydeclined tomeetwithprovincial premiers as agroup for the last six years.That suggests he really isn’t interested in

However, in June, theNEB said the public couldwatch the hearings online,but that doesn’t sit well withMcDade.

“I also find it complete-ly ironic they announced togreat fanfare they’re com-ing to Burnaby to hear fromthe Burnaby public, andthe Burnaby public isn’t al-lowed to come in.They haveto watch it on the Internet,”he said.

According to the board’srequest, the police were re-quired to attend the hear-ings, liaise with the board’ssecurity advisor and con-duct security rounds.TheRCMP were to respond toany serious incidents, inju-ries or criminal activity, askfor backup if needed anddebrief the NEB’s security.

Tara O’Donovan, anNEB communications staff-er, confirmed the board re-ceived Burnaby’s rejectionletter, but only shortly be-fore theNOW called forcomment.

“We have to take sometime to consider our op-tions, but I do want to sayour first priority is safety.

This includes the safety ofour staff members, hearingparticipants and the public,”she said.

O’Donovan said the NEBhas no legal authority tocompel Burnaby to supplypolice, but the board has anobligation under the Cana-da Labour Code to conducta security assessment priorto the hearing to ensure staffwill be safe.When askedabout anticipated securitythreats, O’Donovan notedthe “various disruptions” onBurnaby Mountain. (Lastfall, more than 100 peoplewere arrested while protest-ing Kinder Morgan’s surveywork on the mountain.)

“Our hope is people willbe respectful of those whocome to present their finalarguments,” O’Donovanadded. “This is intervenors’final opportunity to presentface-to-face to the board.”

Hearing sessions for theoral summary argumentsfor intervenors will start onWednesday, Sept. 9 and rununtil Sept. 30 at the DeltaBurnaby Hotel and Confer-ence Centre.The NEB willhave three of its own securi-ty advisors attend each hear-

ing session.The board hasalso hired CommissionairesB.C., a private security com-pany, to put nine guards andone supervisor on site, withdigital two-way radios.Thehotel will also have two rep-resentatives assigned to eachhearing.

Registered intervenorscan send a maximum of tworepresentatives, and accred-ited media will be allowedto attend. As for the hearingschedule, the City of Burn-aby is set to present on Fri-day, Sept. 11 and BROKE(Burnaby Residents Oppos-ing Kinder Morgan Expan-sion) will be on Monday,Sept. 28.TheTsleil-Wau-tuth Nation is set for Sept.23, and Simon Fraser Uni-versity will present on Fri-day, Sept. 25, althoughthe schedule is subject tochange.

When did you first pickup a guitar?

I think I was six. My dadwas playing all the time.You know how little kidswatch their peers and eldersand just kind of decide theywant to do what the olderpeople are doing.That wasme.We were in Kelownaat my aunt’s house, he satme on his lap, put the gui-tar in my hand and held thechords while I strummedit, and that was it, I washooked.

What were some ofyourmusical influencesgrowing up?

ACDC, Jimi Hendrix,Steve RayVaughan and ev-erything else that’s good,but those guys definitely.And Metallica.

You had a fear of per-forming live well intoyour late 20s.How did

you get over that?I just was kind of tired of

being all nervous about it. Afriend of mine had a showand it was an open mike. Igot to the open mike, playedhalf decent and decided itwasn’t really that bad. I waswatching other people andalways admiring other peo-ple for getting up there andwishing I had the courage.I was like, well, I can, I justneed to go do it and get overit. So I did. Itwas great, Ifelt like a mil-lion bucks. Ifeel like a mil-lion buckspretty well ev-ery time I perform, and es-pecially the ones where I’mreally able to let it hang outand I’m not worried aboutwhat people are thinkingand I just do my thing. It’susually when I play my best.

As a blues and rockguitarist, what can con-cert-goers expect of yourfirst Burnaby show?

I’m going to freak out upthere and have a really good

time. I’m going to try andput on a pretty diverse, dy-namic, like no-hold-barredkind of show.We’ll see whathappens (laughs), you nev-er know. Just a good timeand good vibes. I think theband’s getting to a pointwhere we’ve played enoughtogether now that we’ll beable to really crush a goodblues set. For a long time, itwas just me, solo, doing 95per cent of the gigs myself.

It’s new terri-tory and it’s areally big fes-tival that I’vewanted to bein for a longtime.

How important is it toyou to connect with yourfans?

That’s important.To betotally honest, there’s beenshows where I haven’t goneout afterwards. I’m just liketired and I just don’t feellike it. I like to not take thatattitude but for the mostpart, I like to smile, shakehands, high-five and do theautographs. It’s rewarding

for one. People give you allkinds of love and wonderfulcompliments, so that’s nice.You want to give the fans abig piece of yourself so theyfeel connected.

You just finished play-ing Rock the Shores inVictoria, playing thesame stage asThe BlackKeys and Jane’sAddic-tion.What was that like?

It was cool. I wasn’t real-ly thinking too much aboutthose guys because it getsvery intimidating, you know.It’s neat to be on the samestage.They treat you like su-perstars back there. Every-body knows me there be-cause I’ve lived inVictoriaalmost my whole life.

They treat you likeTheBlack Keys and it’s reallynice and it’s exciting.

It’s neat to see your nameon the posters, but it’s moreafterwards that you reallythink about who you playedwith.

Where do you see yourmusic career going?

I’d like to see this thing go

way farther than it is. I haveno desire to live a normallife. I want to do this until Idie. B.B. King, what did hedie when he was 89? And heperformed until six monthsbefore he died.That’s what

I want, 100 per cent. I haveno desire to retire. I justwant to go and play and en-joy what I’m doing becauseI absolutely love it.

before being elevated andattached to the structure—animpressive achievement.

BMW MuseumThe adjacent BMWMuseum—also designedby Schwanzer and built in1972—accepts visitors on adaily basis. Bringing togetherdecades of BMW memorabilia,the Museum provides aretrospective on BMW’s past and alook into the future, contemplatingtopics that go beyond the automotiveworld, into the realms of communicationand society at large.

Chief amongst the exhibits is the award-winingKinetic Sculpture: 714 steel balls suspendedfrom the entrance ceiling by near-invisible wires.Representative of the form-finding process, the ballsmove in time to background music before settlinginto the shape of a BMW car. It’s a spectaculardisplay, both soothing and surreal, and worth thesmall price of admission.

From there, a spiral ramp leads visitors upwardthrough the bowl-shaped building, past significantcars, BMWs seen in James Bond movies, anddisplays describing new and retired technologies,among other things. One room offers a history ofBMW, beamed onto a table from a ceiling-mountedprojector. But unlike most projected displays, this oneresponds to touch, enabling users to select topics forfurther information.

However, the most mind-boggling of these exhibits isthe room dedicated to BMW design, which features awall showing hundreds of design features set against

thoughtful and inspirational words suchas “believing”, “sense”, and “effect”.It is an impressive visual spectacle,simultaneously capturing the art andpracticality of automotive design.

Casual visitors will find much toentertain themselves in the Museum,while auto enthusiasts will be sad toleave. Luckily for them, there’s a lotmore to do.

BMW Munich plant tourBMW Munich is one of manyassembly plants around the worldproducing the ultra-popular3-Series, specifically tasked withmanufacturing 3-Series sedans,Touring wagons, and engines.

Like most plants, Munich is dividedinto four main areas: the stampingshop (where steel panels are formed),

More than just an experience

welding shop, paint shop, and finalassembly. A two-hour tour covers

all of these areas, with guidesdescribing the techniques andtechnologies in use.

The paint-shop portion of thetour is particularly notable,because virtually no one inthe world offers a tour of

automotive paint shops, due topossible contamination from dust,

dirt, etc. To avoid this issue, BMWconstructed a glass corridor adjacent

to the paint room, enabling visitorsto see vehicles as they move through the

painting process. Amazing!

It’s hard not to appreciate the painstaking detail thatgoes into this wonderfully synchronized process—bothat BMW and other automakers around the world.However, some factories seem to achieve a level ofprecision and effort that goes beyond the norm, andthe Munich factory is definitely in this category.

BMW WeltLast but not least is the “showroom” portion of theBMW empire: BMW Welt. Essentially an exhibitionfacility and distribution centre, Welt shows offcurrent products and serves as an event forum. It’salso the place that you go to get your EuropeanDelivery BMW vehicle.

Constructed over four years and opened in October2007, Welt’s architectural design melds sharp anglesand cutouts with smooth curves, glass walls, and agiant vortex that draws in the roof like a whirlpool.The expansive, stunning interior is capped by anundulating roof covered in solar panels. Almost everycurrent BMW vehicle can be found inside, along withconference rooms, a restaurant, and—of course, agift shop. It’s a perfect complement to the Museum,reinforcing BMW’s automotive design through itsamazing architecture and enabling the company toestablish strong connections with customers pickingup their cars.

Against the backdrop of the Munich plant, Weltbrings a modern, contemporary feel to BMW’sheadquarters without minimizing the presence of theBMW Tower and Museum.

At the end of the dayEventually you’ll run out of things to see at BMWWelt, and will find yourself wondering where togo next. Seeing as you came this far, it’s worthremembering that there are three other automakersnot too far away. The Audi museum and factory are45 minutes away, while Mercedes-Benz and Porscheare in nearby Stuttgart, roughly a two hour drive.

If you love cars – especially BMWs – this is a trip of alifetime.

Located a little over half an hour fromFranz Josef Strauss Airport by car or train,BMW’s Munich headquarters combines fouroperations: the automaker’s head office,a multifunctional customer-experiencecentre known as BMW Welt (or “World” inEnglish), BMW Museum, and the Munichassembly plant.

I’ve been to BMW headquarters severaltimes in the past, but this recent trip

was one of the most impressive – thanks to manyupdates BMW has given to the huge complex.

By the way, did you know that you can order yournew BMW from Canada and actually pick it up inGermany? Owners who select European Deliveryservice (available with all models except the US-manufactured X3, X4, X5 and X6) will be immersedin the complete BMW Experience before picking uptheir cars, after which they can tour Europe at theirleisure. When it’s time to return home simply dropthe car at one of dozen locations in five countries,and BMW will ship it to Canada, where it will beinspected, cleaned, and delivered to your door.

Of course, you don’t have to buy a BMW to gainadmission to Welt—while BMW’s head office is offlimits to the public, anyone can visit BMW Welt, themuseum and the factory. So here’s a brief summaryof my experience with the amazing BMW complex:

BMW TowerUpon arriving, the first thing that catches your eyeis the landmark BMW Tower, designed by architectKarl Schwanzer. Located next to Olympic Park andcompleted just ahead of the 1972 Summer Olympics,the tower is inspired by the four-cylinder engine,with four round towers suspended from a centraltower. Each floor was constructed on the ground

Want to increase the valueof your home? Here’swhat you need to do

REW.caWhether you’re looking tosell your home or just wantto increase its livability andvalue, renova!ons arealways a great investment– when they are doneright. REW.ca spoke tosome experts for adviceand came up with thischart of top 10 reno-va!ons to boost yourhome’s value.

10) A Fresh Coat of PaintDon’t underes!mate thepower of a li%le paint totransform your space. Afresh coat of paint in key

rooms, such as the entry-way, living room, dining room,

kitchen and master bedroom,will pay big dividends,

says builder Todd Best,owner of the mul!ple-

award-winning BestBuilders, a renova!on

company and home builderfor nearly 30 years. Best advises

that you choose universally appealingneutral shades (think o$-white, taupe and so"

yellows, and don’t forget super-trendy greys and paleblues) and stay away from dark colours.

9) Shiny New Faucets and Hardware: Replacing out-dated items like faucets, sinks, toilets, door handlesand drawer pulls is another rela!vely inexpensive and easy change thatcan make a big impact. So what’s the right choice? Although chromes!ll dominates the market, gold-coloured ]nishes and brass are back.“There’s a resurgence of brass, but it’s a champagne, brushed brass thatis elegant,” says Colleen Brome, a ReMax realtor and interior decorator.However, silver colours and modern shapes are s!ll the most popular,according to Patricia Gray, who runs Patricia Gray Interior Design.

8) Invi!ng (But No-Mess) Fireplace: A gas ]replaceis one of the most desirable assets a home canhave, both for resale value and for se#ng thetone and ambience. If you have a wood-burning]replace, it’s worth conver!ng it to a gas ]replace.Fireplace inserts are a great op!on. According toRobert Koby, owner of Vancouver Gas Fireplaces,gas ]replace inserts increase a ]replace’s e&-ciency.

7) Energy-Saving Windows: Is your homeequipped with aluminum-framed, single-glazedwindows? If so, it’s worth replacing them, as theyare cos!ng you money every day in lost heat. Eventhough this is not a cheap renova!on, it shouldul!mately pay for itself.

6) Modern and Clean Flooring: Another fairlycostly but totally worthwhile renova!on is put-!ng down new òoring. Most buyers do not likecarpet, especially on the main òor. Replace agingcarpe!ng with hardwood, laminate or !le. For theeco-conscious homeowner, go for bamboo andcork, which are really in vogue.Brome’s advice: never use more than three di$er-ent òoring materials in your home, otherwise itwill look too busy and choppy.

5) Immaculate BathroomsUpda!ng the ]xtures, pu#ng in a new vanity or mirror, new countertopsand cabinetry are simple changes that will make your bathrooms muchmore pleasant to use and will leave a good impression with buyers.

4) Knock Down Walls for a Great RoomRather than segmented rooms or a formal dining room, many WestCoast home owners increasingly want one big living-dining room, oreven a great room with the kitchen integrated too. It’s all about òw,connec!vity and spending !me together as a family. However, a word ofcau!on: tearing down walls means dealing with plumbing, electrical andstructural work, which can be very costly, so calculate your ROI carefully.

3) Heart-of-the-Home KitchenThe kitchen is o"en referred to as the heart of the home. It may seemlike a big expense, but an upgraded, a%rac!ve kitchen can increasethe value of your home by 10 per cent, says Best. So if you’re spending$40,000 on upgrading a kitchen in an $800,000 home, you could boostyour asking price by $80,000 and come out $40,000 richer.Today’s home buyer wants a big, open, modern kitchen with high-

quality stainless steel appliances, func!onal features such asso"-close cabinetry, pantry drawers, nice hardware and lotsof windows to let natural light pour in. Adding a breakfast bayis also extremely popular right now and is one of the mostdesired addi!ons to a kitchen, adds Best.

2) An Exterior with Curb AppealSarah Gallop, award-winning designer at Sarah GallopDesign Inc., says there are numerous ways to boost your

curb appeal without breaking the bank or without takingdays and days of work. She suggests a fresh coat of exteriorpaint (it’s very trendy to do the trim in a contras!ng colour,especially in character homes), lots of containers of plantsand òwers, a well-tended front and back yard with trimhedges and plants, a !dy and smart garage and, if you’reup for spending a bit more, some cool exterior ligh!ng on

entrances and pathways to really impress people at night.

1) A Mortgage-Helper SuiteHere in Greater Vancouver, many single-family homes have a basementthat is perfect for a mortgage helper suite – and there is no renova!onthat will make you more money than a ]nished, tenant-ready suite.Mortgage helpers are a very a%rac!ve op!on for homebuyers who wantto step up into a nicer property that they couldn’t otherwise a$ord.

Want to increase your home’svalue? Some tips:

• A fresh coat of paint is one ofthe best ways to pay big dividendswith a relatively small outlay ofmoney.

• A gas fireplace is one of themost desirable assets a home canhave for resale value.

• Energy-saving windows cancost a lot up front, but theyshould pay for themselves in thelong haul.

• New flooring will always goa long way: consider hardwood,laminate or tile, or even bambooor cork, rather than carpet.

• An immaculate bathroomwithnew fixtures will go a long way tomaking your home appealing.

• Mortgage helper suites will addhuge value to your home.

In a nutshell

Today’s homebuyer wants a

big, open modernkitchen withhigh-qualityappliancesAdd curb appeal with fresh paint, a well-tended

lawn, plenty of plants and flowers, plus pathwaysto impress visitors.

An upgraded bathroom is a surefire way to increase the value of your home. Updated fixtures, anew vanity or mirror and new cabinetry can all be part of the appeal. PHOTOS: THINKSTOCK

What is your favorite sea-sonal fruit purchase? Formany, it is peaches. Believedto have originated in Chi-na more than 4,000 yearsago, peaches now make upa large portion of the freshfruit crop sales in BritishColumbia.

Similar to many treefruits, peaches will ripen af-ter they have been picked;however, they will typical-ly not get any sweeter.Thesweetness level will be de-termined by whether thepeaches were allowed togrow to maturity on thetree. Although maturi-ty and ripeness may soundthe same, a mature fruit isdescribed as one that hasgrown to a degree that al-lows it to ripen.The ripe-ness of fruit focuses moreon the texture appeal. Max-imum sweetness levels willdevelop on the tree, whilethe juiciness and softnesswill continue to evolve afterthey have been harvested.

Peaches obviously of-fer their best quality to ourawaiting appetites whenthey are consumed fresh,but they can easily be

canned or frozen to helpextend the season into thewinter months.

Basically there are twodistinct qualities of themany varieties of peachesthat are currently cultivated:clingstone and freestone.

One may assume that thedefinitions of these two cat-egories are obviously defin-ing the level of ease in theremoval of the stone. Al-though this is true, it goesbeyond this first assump-tion. Clingstone peach-es also offer a firmer fleshthat is preferable for can-ning, as they tend to holdtheir shape better.The fleshin freestone peaches is moredelicate and should be re-served for eating fresh.

If you purchase peach-es that are firm, leavingthem at room temperaturefor a few days will allowthem to soften. Otherwisethey should be stored in thecrisper of the refrigerator toensure the maximum life–span of their edibility.

The use of peaches indesserts is an obvious ex-pectation; however, thereare other methods to cap-ture their mouthwater-ing enticement.The firstidea that comes to mindis a peach salsa. Mix small

chopped pieces with somecomplementing flavours andcolours such as red pep-per, purple onion, jalapeño,cilantro, lime juice and, ofcourse, some crushed garlic.Season it with salt, pepperand a bit of sugar.You willhave an incredible summercondiment to complementgrilled specialties from yourbarbecue, such as chickenbreast or salmon.Chef Dez is a food colum-

ChasinggoldontheyellowbrickroadLast-second score by Burnaby rugby player in semifinal gave Canada a shot at Pan Am Games gold [email protected]

Admir Cejvanovic founda Pan Am gold medal at theend of his yellow brick road.

The 25-year-old rugby 7’snational team player sharedthat medal with an enthusi-astic 20,000-strong Pan AmGames host crowd inTo-ronto following Canada’s22-19 victory over Argenti-na on July 12.

“I just jumped into theair.The satisfaction ofknowing (we had won gold)was phenomenal.We allwent nuts, just losing it. Itwas pretty cool,” said Cejva-novic.

But earlier in the day, ev-erything was not unfoldingaccording to the game planfor the Burnaby CentralSecondary grad.

Leading 12-5 in Canada’ssemifinal against the Unit-ed States, Cejvanovic drewa yellow card on Ameri-ca’s game-tying try, en-abling the U.S. to take a sev-en-point lead while the 6-3,240-pound forward cooledhis heels in the sin bin.

When the Burnaby prod-uct returned to the field hetold his team captain hewanted the ball.

“I had to make up forthat (penalty),” Cejvanovicsaid.

With less than a minuteleft to play and the scoreknotted at 19-19, Canada

pinned the U.S. in their ownhalf and were eventuallyawarded a five-metre scrum.

The Americans cameaway with a tap penalty, butMack stole the ball in con-tact and got it to teammateJohn Moonlight, who re-layed the pill to a chargingCejvanovic.

“I saw my gap, put myhead down, kept my feetmoving and put the balldown (in the end zone),”said Cejvanovic of his game-winning score.

“To me it was crazy. Iwent from ‘I don’t think I’llever play rugby again,’ toputting my team into thecritical gold-medal game,”he said.

For those who grew upwith the Burnaby product,the outcome at the Pan Amsdoes not sound so fantastic.

In 2008, Cejvanovicmade a bet with Grade 12schoolmate and multi-sportathlete Ross Enns that hecould put the shot farther ina head-to-head contest. Ce-jvanovic won the bet andlater that spring came out ofnowhere to capture the shotput gold medal at the B.C.high school track and fieldchampionships.

“My big thing was I wasso competitive I had toprove that I could pick up aball or do this sport and begood at it,” he said.

With the help of throwscoach Don Steen, Cejva-

novic worked on his tech-nique and went from amodest provincial qualifierto a champion with a win-ning heave of 15.51 metreson his second throw at thechampionships.

Cejvanovic had long been

told he was a raw talent, butit was his search for perfec-tion that made all the dif-ference.

He started with soccerbefore trying every othersport – basketball, wrestling,football – it all helped to get

him ready for his biggestchallenge yet on the rugbypitch.

Just out of school, he wona national championshipwith B.C.’s under-18 rug-by team.

As a 20-year-old, he went

to play rugby in Australiafor a season.

But back at the BurnabyLake Rugby Club, he stillplayed backup to the agelessWorld Cup veteran ColinMcKenzie.

Lakers falter in leaduptoseniorAplayoffsWorst-case scenerio could see Burnaby club losing a spot inWLA post season to Maple Ridge and [email protected]

In the words of actorSteve McQueen in the 1966movie The Sand Pebbles, “Iwas almost home, what thehell happened.”

The Burnaby Lakers arenow in a similar situationfollowingTuesday’s 9-6 lossto Maple Ridge at home.

Leading 6-2 midway

through the second peri-od Burnaby’sWestern La-crosse Association playoffhopes suddenly came crash-ing down upon them.

The Burrards took advan-tage of a retaliatory slash-ing penalty and turnedtheir game around on firststar Ben McInosh’s first ofthree goals in the must-winmatchup.

“We definitely knew we

didn’t play well in the firstperiod,” said Burrards rook-ie Connor Goodwin. “Ev-eryone was talking about it,either start playing or we’regoing home.

Maple Ridge added a tal-ly on the extra-man andGoodwin drew the visitorsto within a goal, before set-ting up McIntosh for thegame-tying counter just be-fore the second period end-

ed.In the final frame, Ma-

ple Ridge blanked the Lak-ers with three unansweredmarkers.

Burnaby opened the firstperiod, scoring four timeson a dozen shots, whileTyeBelanger was solid in goal,allowing just one MapleRidge marker on 11 shots.

Robert Church registereda hat trick for Burnaby in

the first 29 minutes of thecontest.

But all that good ballsense was abandoned in thesecond half of the game inno small part to indifferentdefensive markings and un-disciplined penalties, almostall of which the Burrardstook advantage of.

“We felt we had a bad pe-riod and I think (the Lak-ers) felt they had won the

game,” said Goodwin.With the win, Ma-

ple Ridge drew even withthe Lakers with 18 pointsapiece.

Burnaby closed out itsregular season against NewWestminster onThursday(after NOW deadlines).

“It was frustrating. Iwanted to play (B.C.) Bears,Canada, but I had to crackthe Burnaby Lake lineup,”he said.

In the 2014/15 season,he struggled with injuries,and following an ill-ad-vised comeback against theUBC Ravens, was knockedout just minutes after beingsubbed on to the field.

“After that, I realized Ihad to take a step back,something was not goingright,” he said.

Cejvanovic stopped play-ing rugby altogether forthree months and concen-trated on fitness.

He took on a physicaltrainer at Fortius in Burna-by who reshaped how Ce-jvanovic approached train-ing.

“Instead of being thisstrong kid, I became a morebalanced player,” Cejva-novic said.

He returned to the pitchand helped lead BurnabyLake to a 9-1 season, andto within a point of beatingchampion James Bay in theprovincial final.

His play caught the eye ofCanada’s head coach Kier-an Crowley and an invita-tion to a selection camp be-

came available.At the camp, Cejvanovic

enquired about a later na-tional 7s camp, but was toldby coaches it was closed.

Undeterred, Cejvanovicscored a game-turning tryfor the B.C. Selects thatstaged an upexpected winover Canada Probables atthe camp.

Crowley approached thehusky Burnaby back rowforward again and said,“You know that 7s campI told you was closed, it’sopen for you now,” Cejva-novic said.

Seven representative 7sappearances later, Cejva-novic is now setting hissights on the 2016 OlympicGames in Rio de Janeiro.

Canada still needs toqualify for the Games, butthe burly forward is readyfor the challenge.

With 10World Rugby7s tournaments on the cir-cuit next season, including afirst-time stop inVancouver,Cejvanovic is pumped.

“It will be huge for me,”he said. “Canada needs tobe in the Olympics.

“A year ago, I didn’t thinkI would be sitting in thegold-medal game and help-ing my team win, but I did.”

league meetings, leaving a possible three-way tie with Burnaby and the Burrards asone almost certain scenerio.

According to theWLA tie break policy,the team with the most wins overall in theregular season would win out, said leaguecommissioner ErnieTruant.

With all three teams currently tied withnine victories, the team with the most winsover the rest of those tied would prevail.

In this case, the three-team deadlock isstill unresolved, so the team with the most

goals for and against each other will be usedas the third tiebreak option.

That would leave the Lakers out of theplayoff picture and Langley and MapleRidge claiming the third and fourth placesin league standings.

If Burnaby defeated NewWestminster inThursday’s final league game, the Lakersand Burrards are in the playoffs.

If Langley wins its remaining matchagainstVictoria today, Maple Ridge wouldbe the odd team out.
