‘The process gets more absurd’Burnaby mayor bristles over pipeline hearing delays Justin Beddall [email protected]

“Incredibly frustrating” is how Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan described the National Energy Board’s postponement of oral hearings for the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

At council on Monday, Burnaby’s mayor and council were scheduled to receive an update from the city manager outlining the major arguments the city would present in opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion.

“And we really didn’t get a chance to discuss that because it was suddenly made irrelevant,” said Corrigan.

Corrigan was referring to the fact that on Friday (Aug. 21) the NEB postponed the oral hearings previously scheduled in Calgary on Aug. 24 and in Burnaby from Sept. 9 to 30.

The hearings were delayed because the hearing panel determined that evidence previously submitted on behalf of Kinder Morgan “may raise concerns about the integrity of the hearing process.”

Trans Mountain had filed evidence prepared by consultant Steven Kelly of IHS Global Canada Limited supporting its application for NEB approval of its Trans Mountain expansion project.

Kelly has since been appointed to the NEB and officially starts his new role on Oct. 13.

Green Party unveils national housing strategyElizabeth May visits BurnabyJustin [email protected]

For many, it’s become increasingly difficult to find affordable rental housing in Burnaby.

So it was a fitting place for Green Party leader Elizabeth May to unveil her party’s national housing strategy at a news conference on Tuesday at Cranberry Commons Cohousing.

May said her party would invest in social and affordable housing, while at the same time making Canada a global leader in energy efficiency.

“It is no longer acceptable for Canadians,

that any of us should live without adequate housing. Housing is a human right, and in Canada, as a wealthy country we simply have no more excuses for our failure to ensure housing,” said May.

May said the Green Party housing strategy targets three areas: social housing to end homelessness; immediate action to improve First Nations housing; and action in the marketplace to ensure affordable housing is within reach of Canadians.

“These are three separate elements that require three different sets of policy tools,” May said. “On social housing we have the strongest policies of any party in Canadian history to eliminate poverty. The first step

is a guaranteed, livable income for every Canadian.”

May said the federal government needs to get back in the business of investing social housing and maintain and upgrade the existing stock.

When asked about the City of Vancouver’s efforts to end homeless, May noted that no single level of government and no single city could tackle homelessness alone.

“…we believe in a Canada that works together, that’s our slogan. A Canada that works together starts with recognizing that no one party has all the right answers and no one level of government can do it alone.”

Playground of the Gods restoration project underwayJustin [email protected]

A former City of Burnaby carpenter has come out of retirement to help rebuild a missing section of Playground of the Gods, the iconic public art installation he first worked on a quarter of a century ago.

Back then Phil MacGregor was given the plumb assignment of assisting Japanese artist Nuburi Toko with the assembly and installation of his dramatic wooden poles atop Burnaby Mountain that was a gift from Toko’s hometown of Kushiro to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the sister city relationship it shared with Burnaby.

So when the Burnaby Art Gallery was putting together a team to restore a section of the Playground of the Gods called “The Whole Ocean” that had been disassembled because of structure rot, they sought out MacGregor’s assistance.

The only problem was tracking down the former city employee who retired on May 31, 2013 after 34 years of service.

“We did a little bit of digging to find him,” explained Ellen van Eijnsbergen, director/curator of the Burnaby Art Gallery. “Because people were like ‘Oh there was that guy that worked on it.’”

And they found him.“He originally was

involved in the installation

of the Playground of the Gods and so he’s come back on, helping out with this replacement,” she said.

MacGregor was pleased to get the unexpected phone call.

“I was hoping they would because I come up here all the time and said ‘Gee they should do something about it,” he said last month during an official dedication of the park where Playground of the Gods stands, now known as Kushiro Park.

“The Whole Ocean” section of the installation consisted of a large carved orca whale fixed atop a wooden structure.

Through the years the supporting posts had rotted and the structure had become unsafe, so it was taken down around seven years ago.

After the park dedication, MacGregor surveyed the art installation, wistfully recalling working with the master Japanese carver Toko and a whole cast of other city employees on the original install.

Time has weathered the art piece, but it’s still a miraculous sight.

“It’s wood right, twenty-five years in this climate,” said MacGregor.

“There was one sculpture

missing down there,” he added, pointing down the hill.

“Fortunately we’ve got some photographs so we can kind of go from them. The one that came down was made out of Douglas Fir and it’s not as durable as cedar and all these other ones are cedar which is nice, and they’ll probably last another 30 years if you look after them.”

The whale carving that sat atop the section was safely stowed away in a city storage locker, where it has sat — until now.

“It’s exciting,” said van Eijnsbergen, of replacing the missing section.

She said the project should be completed by the end of September.

“It should be back in place,” she said. “They are working on it right now. They are just going to be taking the whale out of storage and get it ready to put into place.”

MacGregor isn’t the only one involved in the restoration project.

“It’s pretty involved, there’s a conservator involved, a structural engineer, plus the carpenters and parks people, and of course, we’re involved as well because we manage the public art in the city of Burnaby,” said van

Eijnsbergen, who joined the Burnaby Village Museum last year.

Shortly after she hired a conservator to do an assessment of the state of the public art in the city of Burnaby, which the museum is responsible for overseeing.

Through that process of reviewing everything it was also recognized that that piece was missing from Playground of the Gods.

“People were aware that it was missing but we became concerned that it be replaced… if we’re responsible for the art than it should be put back into place,” said van Eijnsbergen.

So they travelled to the top of Burnaby Mountain to investigate and then began to put a team together. She was pleased MacGregor was eager to join.

“He was really keen to come back and do it.”

It will cost approximately $50,000 to restore the Whole Ocean and begin maintenance and conservation on one of the sections of the installation this year.

“It has to have continual treatment and remediation, of course, because of the nature of the wooden poles and this climate,” she said. “[Playground of the Gods] is deemed to be a very important asset to the city and that’s why we’re putting the time and money into it to make sure that it is renewed and maintained and kept in good condition so that everyone can enjoy it for another 100 years hopefully.”

When Sandy MacKeigan signed up for the 2015 Ride to Conquer Cancer tour last October it was to honour the memory of her brother and her partner’s dad, both of whom passed away from the disease.

A few months later, the ride suddenly got even more personal.

In December she started to feel unusually fatigued. Even ascending the stairs in her condo left her tired, which raised alarm bells for a woman who regularly hiked and biked long distances.

She decided to get a medical exam and in January, three days after her 50th birthday, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which had quickly spread to her liver, lungs, bone, bone marrow and uterus.

“It was a very aggressive cancer. It just went so fast,” she said.

Her brother Nathan Kuipers was struck suddenly by acute lymphoma in 1995 when he was just 18.

“He got sick and within less than a week he was dead,” MacKeigan recalled.

Her partner’s dad, Robert “Johnny” Logan passed away in October 2014 from prostate cancer which spread to his liver.

Now here she was facing the dread of her own cancer diagnosis.

At first she felt disbelief. “I’ve always been a

healthy person, I don’t smoke, I don’t do any of that stuff,” she said.

She began chemo treatment shortly after.

Remarkably, she didn’t suffer from any of the nasty side effects associated with

the treatment — hair loss, fatigue or vomiting. The drug attacked only her cancer cells, and it worked.

In six weeks she was back at work.

“People couldn’t believe that I had cancer. People couldn’t believe that I was on chemo treatment,” she said.

Her prognosis is good. “The CAT scans that I

have had have shown that the cancer is disappearing,” she said, noting that there are still a couple spots in her liver, which are disappearing. “That’s really about it. Everything else is doing very good and it’s very stable. So I’m lucky.”

Almost immediately after being discharged from hospital she got back on her bike, which she uses to commute to her job with the City of Vancouver in downtown every day (about a two-hour round trip ride).

She is still planning on participating in the two-day, 200-km Ride to

Conquer Cancer, which benefits the BC Cancer Foundation and takes place from Aug. 28 to 29, with riders pedaling from Vancouver to Seattle, and back again.

“It was really important for me to ride it before but now I feel even more so. And I feel that only because here I am, you know wanting to do this ride and now I’m fighting cancer myself. The fact that I’m doing really well, I feel blessed.”

Along with honouring her family members she wants to demonstrate the money raised by the BC Cancer Foundation makes a big difference for patients like her. So far she’s raised $1,645 of the $2,5000 needed in pledge money to participate.

While ending homelessness is a priority, so too is housing affordability.

“We also recognize there is a different issue of affordable housing within the marketplace, particularly for younger families. Younger Canadians seeking their first roof over their head find themselves in housing markets where the value of houses have been skewed by foreign investment.”

May said the “special red-carpet treatment for million-dollar investors”

has “not invited new Canadians to live here; they are not investing in living in Canada, they are just putting their money here. And the affect of that is to just skew the housing market, especially for areas like the Lower Mainland….”

The Green Party’s plan also calls for the retrofitting of all Canadian homes by 2030 to increase energy efficiency and reducing 80 per cent of building emissions by 2040.

In regard to its national housing strategy, the party noted that, “Any coherent

plan must include concrete steps for a seniors’ housing plan, a First Nations plan, a plan for social housing, and for affordable market housing.”

Lynne Quarmby, Green candidate for Burnaby North-Seymour, noted that there’s a surprisingly high number of homeless in Burnaby.

“It may not be visible to people. They are sleeping in church basements, some are sleeping rough, many of these people are employed,” she said. “They are working yet they cannot afford rents. Burnaby ranked as

the least affordable rental housing market.”

Quarmby said the vacancy rate was 0.02 per cent and “twenty-five per cent of people who live in this riding and who are renters are paying more than half of the total family income just for rent.”

“We have a housing crisis,” she said. “So not only is our national housing strategy bold, inspiring, exciting, doable, it is also critically necessary.”

May said the party’s complete platform will be released after Labour Day.

Swangard Stadium went to the dogs on the weekend. Literally.

Almost 500 dogs accompanied by around 400 owners and trainers competed at the Agility Association of Canada national championships at Swangard on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The event, in which dogs are guided through a timed obstacle course by their owner, attracted competitors from across Canada, the United States and even one who travelled from the Netherlands after qualifying in an earlier regional competition.

Nicole LeBlanc, the chair of the 2015 event, said dog agility is a fun way for dogs and their owners to get a physical workout while reinforcing their emotional bond.

“They want to do it,” said LeBlanc of the excited canines, their tails wagging and ears

aloft as they waited their turn in one of the competition rings. “They need to want to please you.”

While fleet-footed herding breeds like border collies and Australian shepherds are naturals at negotiating the jumps, teeter-totters, ramps, rings and weaves of a typical agility obstacle course, LeBlanc said she’s seen every dog from giant Great Danes to lightweight chihuahua’s have its day.

“It’s all about the relationship with your dog, the love and training,” said LeBlanc.

And while the owners get the reward of a ribbon or even the chance to step up into international competition, many of the dogs get their thrill just from being able to compete.

“Some dogs are rewarded just by getting to do it,” said LeBlanc. “You can just see it in their face.”

The test: design and build an off-road vehicle capable of nimbly conquering rough terrain, and other obstacles.

That was the challenge for a group of BCIT students who recently competed in the Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) competition in Oregon.

It was the first time a BCIT team has entered the annual contest that challenges engineering students to create a vehicle for competition in a four-hour race and other dynamic and static tests, everything from maneuverability and rock crawl to performing in a design and sales presentation event.

BCIT didn’t win the competition — they finished 75th — but considering it was their first-ever entry into the event, the students are pleased with the results and are already excited about next year’s competition.

“It was such a cool experience,” said BCIT student Zack Dewji, 27, who added that team is already meeting to determine “how we can be a top contender next year.”

According to the Baja SAE website, the annual competition is designed to present students “with a challenging project that involves the design, planning and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market.”

It adds that, “Teams compete against one another to have their design accepted for manufacture by a fictitious firm. Students must function as a team to not only design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle within the limits of the rules, but also to generate financial support for their project and manage their educational priorities.”

Being a first-time competitor, the BCIT team was at a bit of a competitive disadvantage against some of the more experienced teams.

“We were the rookies, the underdogs,”

said Dewji.The BCIT team managed to build and

design a vehicle in just five months. All competition vehicles are powered by

a 10-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.

The time-crunch meant that the fledgling BCIT team had no time for testing prior to arriving in Oregon, while other teams were able to refine and improve their entries before they got there.

“We were working on it right until it went into the U-Haul,” Dewji said.

The level of competition became immediately apparent at the event,

with larger, U.S. schools benefiting, not only from experience, but also

from solid sponsorships, with some teams

arriving with Penske trailer trucks full of tools and others receiving donated materials. One team, for instance, benefiting from carbon-fibre side panelling.

To put that in perspective, the BCIT car weighed 658 pounds while one of their competitor’s was just 298.

Dewji said teams from other schools were very sportsmanlike, offering to share equipment and resources during the competition.

During the events, the BCIT team encountered various technical and mechanical hurdles, but Dewji said they were able to apply everything they were learning in school in a high-stakes competition setting to solve problems and keep competing.

“It brought us so close as a team,” he said.

Already the BCIT crew has started planning for 2016, with a new website they hope will bring in new sponsors. They also already started assigning roles, from chief engineer to chief mechanic, for next year’s event so they can start prepping their ride well in advance.

“We want to get a head start.” To check out the teams’ website see:

“The hearing panel has taken appropriate action to address this matter by deciding to strike the evidence prepared by Mr. Kelly from the hearing record,” stated a NEB release.

The NEB has given Trans Mountain until this Friday (Aug. 28) to submit a new plan to replace the evidence prepared by Kelly and intervenors have until Sept. 4 to respond.

In a release on Monday, Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, stated: “We are confident we can meet requirements outlined by the NEB and that the regulatory process can proceed in a timely manner without material delay.”

Corrigan said the hearing postponement has cost the city in several ways.

“We are going to have to go back and file new evidence. We’re going to have to do the work in order to review that new evidence, so the cost implications for all the cities and for all the intervenors are huge,” said

Corrigan. “You know we’ve got more legal fees, we’ve got more delays.”

Corrigan noted that the city’s lawyer had pre-booked hotel and airfare to Calgary and couldn’t get a refund.

“That’s the ludicrous nature of this. People were inconvenienced and it was because the board [NEB] again shows its incompetence.”

“This is incredibly frustrating,” added Corrigan. “It diverts many of our staff from the day-to-day work they need to do to focussing on Kinder Morgan and attempting to prepare and get ready for each of the proceedings. The costs aren’t just legal fees, and transportation and other issues like that, they’re the dislocation of staff, while they try to deal with these issues. The interesting part about it is Kinder Morgan was given money by the board in order to do everything to present their case and for us, we’re simply paying through the taxpayer to try to deal with these proceedings so the unfairness just piles on unfairness and the process gets more absurd.”

OF THE WEEK!

A view from Primrose Hill in London

Powerfully posh wheels for cruising Primrose Hill

‘‘It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.’’Keith Morgan

London, England – Rollers, Bentleys and Lambos are as plentiful as shopping carts at the local Morrisons supermarket in this exclusive and expensive residential area of the old country’s capital city.The posh wheels in which I tooled around Primrose Hill for a week was not to be found anywhere but the drive of my temporary city home, blocks away from where the late, great Amy Winehouse spent her final sad days. The 2016 BMW M6 Gran Coupe, priced here at a base price of $129,000, distracted well-dressed locals from their window-shopping. Some shed the coolness and stroked the ‘bonnet’ of the machine, which conceals the massive 4.4-litre M turbocharged, 560 horsepower, V8 engine. It’s sporty looks, racy carbon fibre roof and large air intakes had signalled to them its power.A few guys, one of whom looked like one of those famous Brit actors whose name you can never remember, broke silence and asked me what it was. Well, they knew it was a Bimmer but wondered at its length.“It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too damned long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.Yes, at almost five metres in length it was one heck of a challenge to park at the aforementioned food emporium, protruding considerably into the space behind. But it was worth the effort because that cavernous trunk, I mean ‘boot’ was ideal for stashing the huge quantity of sweet confectionary my kids insist I purchase every time I visit the land of my birth.Pleased as punch with my purchase of malt loaf, Chorley cakes, Curly Wurlys and Jelly Babies, to name

but a few calorie-packed treats, I headed over to the less than elite area of Camden Town, where hippies still roam. That was a mistake.Traffic wasn’t stopped but all four lanes were chock-a-block and merely moving one block took seemed to take an eternity. Thank goodness for the ‘creep on demand’ feature, which kicks in with a light touch of the accelerator and takes the car smoothly up to 14 km/h. I should have been so lucky to reach such a top speed.I was concerned that one of those ever-weaving London taxis would remove a coat of paint from the Gran Coupe. Needn’t have worried. Well, at least, not about the cabs. A glance in my rear view mirror, alerted me to a cyclist speedily approaching. The two-wheeler decided we motorists

were all going too slowly for him. Just as the motorized battalion picked up a bit of speed he whipped by me on the right. To avoid a collision with a fast ‘approaching’ central pedestrian island he cut in front of me. I veered to the left and curbed the car. He took off, oblivious to the costly damage he had caused to the low profile wheels on the passenger side.Time to get out of town and put those 560 horses to better use on the motorway. Where would the local gentry spend the weekend? Ah yes, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, a drive of around 90 minutes. It was a chance to renew my acquaintance with F1 driver Sebastian Vettel, as a guest of Ferrari team sponsor Shell. Having him at the wheel might have been more thrilling but while I didn’t push the pedal to the metal, I did cause the horses to break into

more than a gallop – zero to 100 km/h in just over 4.2 seconds. The Gran Coupe purrs along and effortlessly breezes by anything you choose it to pass. The seven-speed Steptronic tranny offers seamless movement between the gears. I’m not the biggest fan of gearshift paddles but it was fun playing with them on a busy stretch close to my destination.Approaching the track, traffic slowed and for the first time I had time to admire the beautifully stitched leather interior and controls layout, all of which are definitely all ergonomically correct.The cockpit display takes its cues from the driving mode selected using the Driving Dynamics Control switch, the graphics and colors of the displays indicating clearly which of the COMFORT, ECO PRO and SPORT settings has been engaged. Very cool. And it’s loaded with every safety warning system you can think of: lane departure, pedestrian and collision warning. A mad cyclist warning system capable of evasive action would be a worthy addition for 2017.

#throwbackthursday

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEBill Klingenberg, of the City of Burnaby’s engineering department, paints over graffiti on buildings in Ron McLean Park in the spring of 2006. The graffiti problem was getting so bad, Burnaby city council approved the creation of a task force to prevent and eradicate the spray-painted vandalism.Mayor Derek Corrigan said at the time that he was “absolutely appalled” by the plague of graffiti.“It’s extremely expensive, it’s damaging, it is denigrating to neighbourhoods, it makes people feel that their neighbourhood isn’t safe,” he said.In addition to the task force comprised of representatives of city staff, RCMP, citizens and businesses, Burnaby’s planning department was also drafting a bylaw to force businesses to clean graffiti from their property.

Every Thursday, users of the social media platform Twitter revisit the past by posting old photos and recollections recalling former triumphs or moments of infamy. The weekly viral exchange is called #throwbackthursday, or #tbt by those looking to conserve a few of the

140 characters allowed in Twitter posts.With an archive going back more than

25 years, the NewsLeader has plenty to throw back. Every week we feature one #throwbackthursday in the NewsLeader.but there are more available on the Twitter feed @newsleaderfotog.

Private jobs fall, self-employment up

The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800 while private sector

employment was down 8,300.B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with

Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year.

To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments.

Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school.

Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school.

Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year.

Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents

may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file.

Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed.

Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes

can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers.

Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

METRO CREATIVE PHOTOSchedule visits to the doctor, dentist and an eye doctor so your child is up-to-date upon the dawn of a new school year.

Add health screenings to back to school checklist

The back to school season is a great time to review your family’s vaccinations.

Immunizations are one of the most effective preventative medical interventions available to protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases. However, children are not considered fully protected against vaccine preventable diseases until they have completed the recommended immunizations.

Children between four and six years old should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. Subsequent vaccinations are also received in grades 6 and 9 at school, with periodic immunizations also recommended

throughout adulthood.By ensuring your child is immunized,

not only are you protecting their health but those in the community as well.

If you need to make an immunization appointment, call your family physician or local Public Health Unit. Fraser Health’s public health teams are supporting parents in keeping up with their child’s immunization schedule, offering convenient access to immunizations clinics during the evenings and on weekends.

For more information on vaccinations and where to get your child immunized, visit http://www.fraserhealth.ca/your_health/immunizations/.

Cross-promotion to be unleashed with new liquor reformJeff [email protected]

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce.

Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces — a glass of B.C. wine was off limits — and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape.

Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review.

But there will be a limit — a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings.

“We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism

and small businesses.Craft Distillers Guild

of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other.

The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol.

Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

FLICKR/QUINNANYAWineries can now serve craft beer in their lounges and breweries are no longer barred from offering wine after the latest provincial liquor policy reform.

Wineries, brewers can sell booze they didn’t make

Michael Geller, who was instrumental in the planning of the UniverCity community on Burnaby Mountain, is being honoured for his lifetime of work as an architect, planner and developer on Sept. 1.

Geller was president and CEO of the Simon Fraser University Community Trust, overseeing the initial planning, approvals and development of the first phase of the project next to SFU.

Before that and since then, he has been involved in urban design and real estate, including playing key roles in projects including the south shore of False Creek, Steveston Village, Bayshore in Coal Harbour, Deering Island, Furry Creek and other residential and mixed-use projects around Vancouver.

He is on the adjunct faculty of SFU’s Centre for Sustainable Community Development and the University of British Columbia’s graduate Urban Design Program advisory board. He is also a writer, providing commentary

on urban affairs for local media, and has served as a volunteer and board member for diverse non-profit organizations.

Geller will be honoured at a gala event called Building Minds, at the Richmond Country Club, sponsored by the international educational organization ORT. A non-profit, non-political organization, ORTs aims to deliver excellence in education, creating educational systems that give students the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their communities.

“I was literally shocked when I was approached, but very much honored,” said Geller, in a press release. “My first thought was of all the other people who are probably more deserving. But, that being said, I agreed to do it because I am familiar with the good work ORT does, particularly in the field of education.”

For more information on the event and tickets, call 604-276-9282.

Burnaby planner to be honoured

Labour contracts inkedThe province has signed new five-year labour contracts

providing 5.5 per cent pay hikes with unions representing nearly 7,500 workers at 14 post-secondary institutions.

The recently ratified agreements follow the government’s same “economic stability mandate” that has been the pattern for other public sector unions.

Within the Lower Mainland, the new agreements include 1,000 instructors, counsellors and librarians and other staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, plus another 575 support and administrative service staff at KPU campuses in Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey and Richmond.

Other facilities in the region that have new contracts with faculty or support staff include Douglas College, Capilano University, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the B.C. Institute of Technology and the Justice Institute of B.C.

Debut concert Aug. 29 at ShadboltWanda [email protected]

Burnaby’s Lasya Vankayala is well versed in her family’s history in Indian performing arts.

Her father and teacher, Vidya, is a Carnatic singer and co-founder and artistic director of the Sangeetamaruti Arts Academy (SAMA). Her mother, Himabindu, is an accomplished Bharatanatyam dancer and also co-founder of SAMA of which she is director.

Her maternal grandmother is a dancer and her paternal grandfather and uncles are mridungam players.

Now, with her debut concert set for this Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 17-year-old Lasya is set to join their ranks in carrying on the family’s talents.

She started learning Carnatic singing at age three or four. The South Indian vocal art form is upwards of 10,000 years old and requires precision and perfect pitch.

It requires a great deal of voice control, she said, noting one of its vocal techniques involves going between several clearly-emphasized notes within half of one beat, or one to two seconds.

“It’s very often performed live so there’s not much room for errors and you don’t usually do it in a studio.” Any recordings are usually of live concerts, she explained.

“There’s sometimes a bit of added pressure because I do live with my teacher so even my practices have to be at a certain level,” she said with a laugh, noting both her mom and dad can catch any errors in her singing. “But it helps because you get a lot more practice … and I have full access to them so I’m not like students who can only come now and then.”

The concert, like most Carnatic debut concerts, will be about three hours long and symbolizes that she is ready to give long performances and to sing at a professional level.

But that’s not necessarily in the cards. Instead, Lasya plans to carry on the other family tradition of studying and working in the sciences.

Her dad is an electrical engineer and her mom has a degree in physics.

Lasya, who attended Chaffey-Burke

elementary, is currently attending David Thompson secondary in Vancouver where she’s in a math and science mini school.

She’s considering a career in the biomedical sciences. Her most recent science fair project, produced while working at a research lab at Simon Fraser University, involves a potential alternative treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

As for the music, she is already teaching students of her own and hopes to bring Carnatic music to new audiences by creating fusion performances with genres such as jazz, something her father has already started in his own concerts and collaborations with other artists.

“It feels really good to be able to carry on the tradition because music and dance really runs in my family,” said Lasya. “It’s an old music and I feel like I kind of owe it to it to give some of my time and allow it to continue.”

• Lasya Vankayala’s debut concert and will be held Saturday, Aug. 29, at 4:30 p.m. in the Studio Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Admission is free.

Local Carnatic singer carrying on family talent

MATT MURRAY/CONTRIBUTEDBurnaby resident Lasya Vankayala, 17, a vocalist in the ancient art of Carnatic music will perform a debut concert Aug. 29 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. She is seen here with a tambura, a four-stringed drone played during Carnatic performances to help the singer keep in pitch.

Burnaby player named to Junior National team The Vancouver Stealth continues to

re-shape their roster with talent familiar to Burnaby and New West lacrosse fans.

On Aug. 21, the Stealth re-signed veteran Ilija Gajic and free agent Keegan Bal to one year agreements pending league approval.

Burnaby’s Gajic is coming off one of his most productive National Lacrosse League (NLL) seasons in 2015 scoring 11 goals and adding 17 assists for a total of 28 points. The six-year veteran also collected 87 loose balls and played in a variety of roles for the Stealth during the year. He was originally acquired by the Stealth from the Colorado Mammoth after the 2013 season.

Over his career Gajic has played in 86 regular season games scoring 45 goals and 61 assists, totalling 106 regular season points to go along with 529 loose balls.

“Ilija is coming off a strong season and we love everything he brings to our roster. He can play defense, run transition and

play offence and also brings incredible energy and commitment. We are looking forward to an even bigger year from him in 2016,” said Stealth president and general manager, Doug Locker.

Bal played his Junior A lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies putting up 57 points in 16 games in his final season. Bal just finished his third season with the senior Salmonbellies. A graduate of Lake Erie College, he was named the ECAC Division II Offensive Player of the Year and established a school record with 80 points in his final year of eligibility. He was originally drafted in the third round (25th overall) by the Toronto Rock in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft but opted to pursue his masters degree at the University of Durham in England.

“Keegan has had another really strong summer and has played extremely well in the post season this year. We have been very impressed and look for him to compete for a spot this coming season,” Locker said.

Playground of the Gods restoration project underwayJustin [email protected]

A former City of Burnaby carpenter has come out of retirement to help rebuild a missing section of Playground of the Gods, the iconic public art installation he �rst worked on a quarter of a century ago.

Back then Phil MacGregor was given the plumb assignment of assisting Japanese artist Nuburi Toko with the assembly and installation of his dramatic wooden poles atop Burnaby Mountain that was a gift from Toko’s hometown of Kushiro to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the sister city relationship it shared with Burnaby.

So when the Burnaby Art Gallery was putting together a team to restore a section of the Playground of the Gods called “The Whole Ocean” that had been disassembled because of structure rot, they sought out MacGregor’s assistance.

The only problem was tracking down the former city employee who retired on May 31, 2013 after 34 years of service.

“We did a little bit of digging to �nd him,” explained Ellen van Eijnsbergen, director/curator of the Burnaby Art Gallery. “Because people were like ‘Oh there was that guy that worked on it.’”

And they found him.“He originally was

involved in the installation

of the Playground of the Gods and so he’s come back on, helping out with this replacement,” she said.

MacGregor was pleased to get the unexpected phone call.

“I was hoping they would because I come up here all the time and said ‘Gee they should do something about it,” he said last month during an of�cial dedication of the park where Playground of the Gods stands, now known as Kushiro Park.

“The Whole Ocean” section of the installation consisted of a large carved orca whale �xed atop a wooden structure.

Through the years the supporting posts had rotted and the structure had become unsafe, so it was taken down around seven years ago.

After the park dedication, MacGregor surveyed the art installation, wistfully recalling working with the master Japanese carver Toko and a whole cast of other city employees on the original install.

Time has weathered the art piece, but it’s still a miraculous sight.

“It’s wood right, twenty-�ve years in this climate,” said MacGregor.

“There was one sculpture

missing down there,” he added, pointing down the hill.

“Fortunately we’ve got some photographs so we can kind of go from them. The one that came down was made out of Douglas Fir and it’s not as durable as cedar and all these other ones are cedar which is nice, and they’ll probably last another 30 years if you look after them.”

The whale carving that sat atop the section was safely stowed away in a city storage locker, where it has sat — until now.

“It’s exciting,” said van Eijnsbergen, of replacing the missing section.

She said the project should be completed by the end of September.

“It should be back in place,” she said. “They are working on it right now. They are just going to be taking the whale out of storage and get it ready to put into place.”

MacGregor isn’t the only one involved in the restoration project.

“It’s pretty involved, there’s a conservator involved, a structural engineer, plus the carpenters and parks people, and of course, we’re involved as well because we manage the public art in the city of Burnaby,” said van

Eijnsbergen, who joined the Burnaby Village Museum last year.

Shortly after she hired a conservator to do an assessment of the state of the public art in the city of Burnaby, which the museum is responsible for overseeing.

Through that process of reviewing everything it was also recognized that that piece was missing from Playground of the Gods.

“People were aware that it was missing but we became concerned that it be replaced… if we’re responsible for the art than it should be put back into place,” said van Eijnsbergen.

So they travelled to the top of Burnaby Mountain to investigate and then began to put a team together. She was pleased MacGregor was eager to join.

“He was really keen to come back and do it.”

It will cost approximately $50,000 to restore the Whole Ocean and begin maintenance and conservation on one of the sections of the installation this year.

“It has to have continual treatment and remediation, of course, because of the nature of the wooden poles and this climate,” she said. “[Playground of the Gods] is deemed to be a very important asset to the city and that’s why we’re putting the time and money into it to make sure that it is renewed and maintained and kept in good condition so that everyone can enjoy it for another 100 years hopefully.”

When Sandy MacKeigan signed up for the 2015 Ride to Conquer Cancer tour last October it was to honour the memory of her brother and her partner’s dad, both of whom passed away from the disease.

A few months later, the ride suddenly got even more personal.

In December she started to feel unusually fatigued. Even ascending the stairs in her condo left her tired, which raised alarm bells for a woman who regularly hiked and biked long distances.

She decided to get a medical exam and in January, three days after her 50th birthday, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which had quickly spread to her liver, lungs, bone, bone marrow and uterus.

“It was a very aggressive cancer. It just went so fast,” she said.

Her brother Nathan Kuipers was struck suddenly by acute lymphoma in 1995 when he was just 18.

“He got sick and within less than a week he was dead,” MacKeigan recalled.

Her partner’s dad, Robert “Johnny” Logan passed away in October 2014 from prostate cancer which spread to his liver.

Now here she was facing the dread of her own cancer diagnosis.

At �rst she felt disbelief. “I’ve always been a

healthy person, I don’t smoke, I don’t do any of that stuff,” she said.

She began chemo treatment shortly after.

Remarkably, she didn’t suffer from any of the nasty side effects associated with

the treatment — hair loss, fatigue or vomiting. The drug attacked only her cancer cells, and it worked.

In six weeks she was back at work.

“People couldn’t believe that I had cancer. People couldn’t believe that I was on chemo treatment,” she said.

Her prognosis is good. “The CAT scans that I

have had have shown that the cancer is disappearing,” she said, noting that there are still a couple spots in her liver, which are disappearing. “That’s really about it. Everything else is doing very good and it’s very stable. So I’m lucky.”

Almost immediately after being discharged from hospital she got back on her bike, which she uses to commute to her job with the City of Vancouver in downtown every day (about a two-hour round trip ride).

She is still planning on participating in the two-day, 200-km Ride to

Conquer Cancer, which bene�ts the BC Cancer Foundation and takes place from Aug. 28 to 29, with riders pedaling from Vancouver to Seattle, and back again.

“It was really important for me to ride it before but now I feel even more so. And I feel that only because here I am, you know wanting to do this ride and now I’m �ghting cancer myself. The fact that I’m doing really well, I feel blessed.”

Along with honouring her family members she wants to demonstrate the money raised by the BC Cancer Foundation makes a big difference for patients like her. So far she’s raised $1,645 of the $2,5000 needed in pledge money to participate.

While ending homelessness is a priority, so too is housing affordability.

“We also recognize there is a different issue of affordable housing within the marketplace, particularly for younger families. Younger Canadians seeking their �rst roof over their head �nd themselves in housing markets where the value of houses have been skewed by foreign investment.”

May said the “special red-carpet treatment for million-dollar investors”

has “not invited new Canadians to live here; they are not investing in living in Canada, they are just putting their money here. And the affect of that is to just skew the housing market, especially for areas like the Lower Mainland….”

The Green Party’s plan also calls for the retro�tting of all Canadian homes by 2030 to increase energy ef�ciency and reducing 80 per cent of building emissions by 2040.

In regard to its national housing strategy, the party noted that, “Any coherent

plan must include concrete steps for a seniors’ housing plan, a First Nations plan, a plan for social housing, and for affordable market housing.”

Lynne Quarmby, Green candidate for Burnaby North-Seymour, noted that there’s a surprisingly high number of homeless in Burnaby.

“It may not be visible to people. They are sleeping in church basements, some are sleeping rough, many of these people are employed,” she said. “They are working yet they cannot afford rents. Burnaby ranked as

the least affordable rental housing market.”

Quarmby said the vacancy rate was 0.02 per cent and “twenty-�ve per cent of people who live in this riding and who are renters are paying more than half of the total family income just for rent.”

“We have a housing crisis,” she said. “So not only is our national housing strategy bold, inspiring, exciting, doable, it is also critically necessary.”

May said the party’s complete platform will be released after Labour Day.

Swangard Stadium went to the dogs on the weekend. Literally.

Almost 500 dogs accompanied by around 400 owners and trainers competed at the Agility Association of Canada national championships at Swangard on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The event, in which dogs are guided through a timed obstacle course by their owner, attracted competitors from across Canada, the United States and even one who travelled from the Netherlands after qualifying in an earlier regional competition.

Nicole LeBlanc, the chair of the 2015 event, said dog agility is a fun way for dogs and their owners to get a physical workout while reinforcing their emotional bond.

“They want to do it,” said LeBlanc of the excited canines, their tails wagging and ears

aloft as they waited their turn in one of the competition rings. “They need to want to please you.”

While �eet-footed herding breeds like border collies and Australian shepherds are naturals at negotiating the jumps, teeter-totters, ramps, rings and weaves of a typical agility obstacle course, LeBlanc said she’s seen every dog from giant Great Danes to lightweight chihuahua’s have its day.

“It’s all about the relationship with your dog, the love and training,” said LeBlanc.

And while the owners get the reward of a ribbon or even the chance to step up into international competition, many of the dogs get their thrill just from being able to compete.

“Some dogs are rewarded just by getting to do it,” said LeBlanc. “You can just see it in their face.”

The test: design and build an off-road vehicle capable of nimbly conquering rough terrain, and other obstacles.

That was the challenge for a group of BCIT students who recently competed in the Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) competition in Oregon.

It was the �rst time a BCIT team has entered the annual contest that challenges engineering students to create a vehicle for competition in a four-hour race and other dynamic and static tests, everything from maneuverability and rock crawl to performing in a design and sales presentation event.

BCIT didn’t win the competition — they �nished 75th — but considering it was their �rst-ever entry into the event, the students are pleased with the results and are already excited about next year’s competition.

“It was such a cool experience,” said BCIT student Zack Dewji, 27, who added that team is already meeting to determine “how we can be a top contender next year.”

According to the Baja SAE website, the annual competition is designed to present students “with a challenging project that involves the design, planning and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market.”

It adds that, “Teams compete against one another to have their design accepted for manufacture by a �ctitious �rm. Students must function as a team to not only design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle within the limits of the rules, but also to generate �nancial support for their project and manage their educational priorities.”

Being a �rst-time competitor, the BCIT team was at a bit of a competitive disadvantage against some of the more experienced teams.

“We were the rookies, the underdogs,”

said Dewji.The BCIT team managed to build and

design a vehicle in just �ve months. All competition vehicles are powered by

a 10-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.

The time-crunch meant that the �edgling BCIT team had no time for testing prior to arriving in Oregon, while other teams were able to re�ne and improve their entries before they got there.

“We were working on it right until it went into the U-Haul,” Dewji said.

The level of competition became immediately apparent at the event,

with larger, U.S. schools bene�ting, not only from experience, but also

from solid sponsorships, with some teams

arriving with Penske trailer trucks full of tools and others receiving donated materials. One team, for instance, bene�ting from carbon-�bre side panelling.

To put that in perspective, the BCIT car weighed 658 pounds while one of their competitor’s was just 298.

Dewji said teams from other schools were very sportsmanlike, offering to share equipment and resources during the competition.

During the events, the BCIT team encountered various technical and mechanical hurdles, but Dewji said they were able to apply everything they were learning in school in a high-stakes competition setting to solve problems and keep competing.

“It brought us so close as a team,” he said.

Already the BCIT crew has started planning for 2016, with a new website they hope will bring in new sponsors. They also already started assigning roles, from chief engineer to chief mechanic, for next year’s event so they can start prepping their ride well in advance.

“We want to get a head start.” To check out the teams’ website see:

“The hearing panel has taken appropriate action to address this matter by deciding to strike the evidence prepared by Mr. Kelly from the hearing record,” stated a NEB release.

The NEB has given Trans Mountain until this Friday (Aug. 28) to submit a new plan to replace the evidence prepared by Kelly and intervenors have until Sept. 4 to respond.

In a release on Monday, Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, stated: “We are con�dent we can meet requirements outlined by the NEB and that the regulatory process can proceed in a timely manner without material delay.”

Corrigan said the hearing postponement has cost the city in several ways.

“We are going to have to go back and �le new evidence. We’re going to have to do the work in order to review that new evidence, so the cost implications for all the cities and for all the intervenors are huge,” said

Corrigan. “You know we’ve got more legal fees, we’ve got more delays.”

Corrigan noted that the city’s lawyer had pre-booked hotel and airfare to Calgary and couldn’t get a refund.

“That’s the ludicrous nature of this. People were inconvenienced and it was because the board [NEB] again shows its incompetence.”

“This is incredibly frustrating,” added Corrigan. “It diverts many of our staff from the day-to-day work they need to do to focussing on Kinder Morgan and attempting to prepare and get ready for each of the proceedings. The costs aren’t just legal fees, and transportation and other issues like that, they’re the dislocation of staff, while they try to deal with these issues. The interesting part about it is Kinder Morgan was given money by the board in order to do everything to present their case and for us, we’re simply paying through the taxpayer to try to deal with these proceedings so the unfairness just piles on unfairness and the process gets more absurd.”

OF THE WEEK!

?QUESTION

A view from Primrose Hill in London

Powerfully posh wheels for cruising Primrose Hill

‘‘It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.’’Keith Morgan

London, England – Rollers, Bentleys and Lambos are as plentiful as shopping carts at the local Morrisons supermarket in this exclusive and expensive residential area of the old country’s capital city.The posh wheels in which I tooled around Primrose Hill for a week was not to be found anywhere but the drive of my temporary city home, blocks away from where the late, great Amy Winehouse spent her final sad days. The 2016 BMW M6 Gran Coupe, priced here at a base price of $129,000, distracted well-dressed locals from their window-shopping. Some shed the coolness and stroked the ‘bonnet’ of the machine, which conceals the massive 4.4-litre M turbocharged, 560 horsepower, V8 engine. It’s sporty looks, racy carbon fibre roof and large air intakes had signalled to them its power.A few guys, one of whom looked like one of those famous Brit actors whose name you can never remember, broke silence and asked me what it was. Well, they knew it was a Bimmer but wondered at its length.“It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too damned long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.Yes, at almost five metres in length it was one heck of a challenge to park at the aforementioned food emporium, protruding considerably into the space behind. But it was worth the effort because that cavernous trunk, I mean ‘boot’ was ideal for stashing the huge quantity of sweet confectionary my kids insist I purchase every time I visit the land of my birth.Pleased as punch with my purchase of malt loaf, Chorley cakes, Curly Wurlys and Jelly Babies, to name

but a few calorie-packed treats, I headed over to the less than elite area of Camden Town, where hippies still roam. That was a mistake.Traffic wasn’t stopped but all four lanes were chock-a-block and merely moving one block took seemed to take an eternity. Thank goodness for the ‘creep on demand’ feature, which kicks in with a light touch of the accelerator and takes the car smoothly up to 14 km/h. I should have been so lucky to reach such a top speed.I was concerned that one of those ever-weaving London taxis would remove a coat of paint from the Gran Coupe. Needn’t have worried. Well, at least, not about the cabs. A glance in my rear view mirror, alerted me to a cyclist speedily approaching. The two-wheeler decided we motorists

were all going too slowly for him. Just as the motorized battalion picked up a bit of speed he whipped by me on the right. To avoid a collision with a fast ‘approaching’ central pedestrian island he cut in front of me. I veered to the left and curbed the car. He took off, oblivious to the costly damage he had caused to the low profile wheels on the passenger side.Time to get out of town and put those 560 horses to better use on the motorway. Where would the local gentry spend the weekend? Ah yes, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, a drive of around 90 minutes. It was a chance to renew my acquaintance with F1 driver Sebastian Vettel, as a guest of Ferrari team sponsor Shell. Having him at the wheel might have been more thrilling but while I didn’t push the pedal to the metal, I did cause the horses to break into

more than a gallop – zero to 100 km/h in just over 4.2 seconds. The Gran Coupe purrs along and effortlessly breezes by anything you choose it to pass. The seven-speed Steptronic tranny offers seamless movement between the gears. I’m not the biggest fan of gearshift paddles but it was fun playing with them on a busy stretch close to my destination.Approaching the track, traffic slowed and for the first time I had time to admire the beautifully stitched leather interior and controls layout, all of which are definitely all ergonomically correct.The cockpit display takes its cues from the driving mode selected using the Driving Dynamics Control switch, the graphics and colors of the displays indicating clearly which of the COMFORT, ECO PRO and SPORT settings has been engaged. Very cool. And it’s loaded with every safety warning system you can think of: lane departure, pedestrian and collision warning. A mad cyclist warning system capable of evasive action would be a worthy addition for 2017.

#throwbackthursday

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEBill Klingenberg, of the City of Burnaby’s engineering department, paints over graffiti on buildings in Ron McLean Park in the spring of 2006. The graffiti problem was getting so bad, Burnaby city council approved the creation of a task force to prevent and eradicate the spray-painted vandalism.Mayor Derek Corrigan said at the time that he was “absolutely appalled” by the plague of graffiti.“It’s extremely expensive, it’s damaging, it is denigrating to neighbourhoods, it makes people feel that their neighbourhood isn’t safe,” he said.In addition to the task force comprised of representatives of city staff, RCMP, citizens and businesses, Burnaby’s planning department was also drafting a bylaw to force businesses to clean graffiti from their property.

Every Thursday, users of the social media platform Twitter revisit the past by posting old photos and recollections recalling former triumphs or moments of infamy. The weekly viral exchange is called #throwbackthursday, or #tbt by those looking to conserve a few of the

140 characters allowed in Twitter posts.With an archive going back more than

25 years, the NewsLeader has plenty to throw back. Every week we feature one #throwbackthursday in the NewsLeader.but there are more available on the Twitter feed @newsleaderfotog.

Private jobs fall, self-employment up

The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800 while private sector

employment was down 8,300.B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with

Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and �shing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Back to school Banner - Leslie to place

As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year.

To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and �nishing summer reading assignments.

Another essential requirement parents must �nd time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school.

Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school.

Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year.

Students who have speci�c learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modi�cation should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents

may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on �le.

Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the �rst day of school so they have ample time to �ll new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed.

Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes

can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers.

Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

METRO CREATIVE PHOTOSchedule visits to the doctor, dentist and an eye doctor so your child is up-to-date upon the dawn of a new school year.

Add health screenings to back to school checklist

The back to school season is a great time to review your family’s vaccinations.

Immunizations are one of the most effective preventative medical interventions available to protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases. However, children are not considered fully protected against vaccine preventable diseases until they have completed the recommended immunizations.

Children between four and six years old should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. Subsequent vaccinations are also received in grades 6 and 9 at school, with periodic immunizations also recommended

throughout adulthood.By ensuring your child is immunized,

not only are you protecting their health but those in the community as well.

If you need to make an immunization appointment, call your family physician or local Public Health Unit. Fraser Health’s public health teams are supporting parents in keeping up with their child’s immunization schedule, offering convenient access to immunizations clinics during the evenings and on weekends.

For more information on vaccinations and where to get your child immunized, visit http://www.fraserhealth.ca/your_health/immunizations/.

Cross-promotion to be unleashed with new liquor reformJeff [email protected]

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce.

Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces — a glass of B.C. wine was off limits — and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape.

Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review.

But there will be a limit — a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings.

“We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism

and small businesses.Craft Distillers Guild

of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other.

The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol.

Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

FLICKR/QUINNANYAWineries can now serve craft beer in their lounges and breweries are no longer barred from offering wine after the latest provincial liquor policy reform.

Wineries, brewers can sell booze they didn’t make

Michael Geller, who was instrumental in the planning of the UniverCity community on Burnaby Mountain, is being honoured for his lifetime of work as an architect, planner and developer on Sept. 1.

Geller was president and CEO of the Simon Fraser University Community Trust, overseeing the initial planning, approvals and development of the �rst phase of the project next to SFU.

Before that and since then, he has been involved in urban design and real estate, including playing key roles in projects including the south shore of False Creek, Steveston Village, Bayshore in Coal Harbour, Deering Island, Furry Creek and other residential and mixed-use projects around Vancouver.

He is on the adjunct faculty of SFU’s Centre for Sustainable Community Development and the University of British Columbia’s graduate Urban Design Program advisory board. He is also a writer, providing commentary

on urban affairs for local media, and has served as a volunteer and board member for diverse non-pro�t organizations.

Geller will be honoured at a gala event called Building Minds, at the Richmond Country Club, sponsored by the international educational organization ORT. A non-pro�t, non-political organization, ORTs aims to deliver excellence in education, creating educational systems that give students the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their communities.

“I was literally shocked when I was approached, but very much honored,” said Geller, in a press release. “My �rst thought was of all the other people who are probably more deserving. But, that being said, I agreed to do it because I am familiar with the good work ORT does, particularly in the �eld of education.”

For more information on the event and tickets, call 604-276-9282.

Burnaby planner to be honoured

Labour contracts inkedThe province has signed new �ve-year labour contracts

providing 5.5 per cent pay hikes with unions representing nearly 7,500 workers at 14 post-secondary institutions.

The recently rati�ed agreements follow the government’s same “economic stability mandate” that has been the pattern for other public sector unions.

Within the Lower Mainland, the new agreements include 1,000 instructors, counsellors and librarians and other staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, plus another 575 support and administrative service staff at KPU campuses in Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey and Richmond.

Other facilities in the region that have new contracts with faculty or support staff include Douglas College, Capilano University, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the B.C. Institute of Technology and the Justice Institute of B.C.

Debut concert Aug. 29 at ShadboltWanda [email protected]

Burnaby’s Lasya Vankayala is well versed in her family’s history in Indian performing arts.

Her father and teacher, Vidya, is a Carnatic singer and co-founder and artistic director of the Sangeetamaruti Arts Academy (SAMA). Her mother, Himabindu, is an accomplished Bharatanatyam dancer and also co-founder of SAMA of which she is director.

Her maternal grandmother is a dancer and her paternal grandfather and uncles are mridungam players.

Now, with her debut concert set for this Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 17-year-old Lasya is set to join their ranks in carrying on the family’s talents.

She started learning Carnatic singing at age three or four. The South Indian vocal art form is upwards of 10,000 years old and requires precision and perfect pitch.

It requires a great deal of voice control, she said, noting one of its vocal techniques involves going between several clearly-emphasized notes within half of one beat, or one to two seconds.

“It’s very often performed live so there’s not much room for errors and you don’t usually do it in a studio.” Any recordings are usually of live concerts, she explained.

“There’s sometimes a bit of added pressure because I do live with my teacher so even my practices have to be at a certain level,” she said with a laugh, noting both her mom and dad can catch any errors in her singing. “But it helps because you get a lot more practice … and I have full access to them so I’m not like students who can only come now and then.”

The concert, like most Carnatic debut concerts, will be about three hours long and symbolizes that she is ready to give long performances and to sing at a professional level.

But that’s not necessarily in the cards. Instead, Lasya plans to carry on the other family tradition of studying and working in the sciences.

Her dad is an electrical engineer and her mom has a degree in physics.

Lasya, who attended Chaffey-Burke

elementary, is currently attending David Thompson secondary in Vancouver where she’s in a math and science mini school.

She’s considering a career in the biomedical sciences. Her most recent science fair project, produced while working at a research lab at Simon Fraser University, involves a potential alternative treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

As for the music, she is already teaching students of her own and hopes to bring Carnatic music to new audiences by creating fusion performances with genres such as jazz, something her father has already started in his own concerts and collaborations with other artists.

“It feels really good to be able to carry on the tradition because music and dance really runs in my family,” said Lasya. “It’s an old music and I feel like I kind of owe it to it to give some of my time and allow it to continue.”

• Lasya Vankayala’s debut concert and will be held Saturday, Aug. 29, at 4:30 p.m. in the Studio Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Admission is free.

Local Carnatic singer carrying on family talent

MATT MURRAY/CONTRIBUTEDBurnaby resident Lasya Vankayala, 17, a vocalist in the ancient art of Carnatic music will perform a debut concert Aug. 29 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. She is seen here with a tambura, a four-stringed drone played during Carnatic performances to help the singer keep in pitch.

Vincelli was named to the 20-player Junior National Team roster that will represent Canada at the WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup Aug. 28 to Sept. 6.

The roster was announced following the team’s selection camp that saw Canada play seven games against the Australian U-18 side.

In Osaka, Canada will be joined by Cuba, Korea, Chinese Taipei, Italy and South Africa in Group B, while Group A will feature two-time defending champion USA along with host Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and the Czech Republic.

Each group will play a round robin with the top three records in each pool playing each other in crossover games in what is being called the “super round”.

Following the super round, the top two records will meet for gold, while the third and fourth best records will play to decide the bronze medal.

Burnaby player named to Junior National team The Vancouver Stealth continues to

re-shape their roster with talent familiar to Burnaby and New West lacrosse fans.

On Aug. 21, the Stealth re-signed veteran Ilija Gajic and free agent Keegan Bal to one year agreements pending league approval.

Burnaby’s Gajic is coming off one of his most productive National Lacrosse League (NLL) seasons in 2015 scoring 11 goals and adding 17 assists for a total of 28 points. The six-year veteran also collected 87 loose balls and played in a variety of roles for the Stealth during the year. He was originally acquired by the Stealth from the Colorado Mammoth after the 2013 season.

Over his career Gajic has played in 86 regular season games scoring 45 goals and 61 assists, totalling 106 regular season points to go along with 529 loose balls.

“Ilija is coming off a strong season and we love everything he brings to our roster. He can play defense, run transition and

play offence and also brings incredible energy and commitment. We are looking forward to an even bigger year from him in 2016,” said Stealth president and general manager, Doug Locker.

Bal played his Junior A lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies putting up 57 points in 16 games in his �nal season. Bal just �nished his third season with the senior Salmonbellies. A graduate of Lake Erie College, he was named the ECAC Division II Offensive Player of the Year and established a school record with 80 points in his �nal year of eligibility. He was originally drafted in the third round (25th overall) by the Toronto Rock in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft but opted to pursue his masters degree at the University of Durham in England.

“Keegan has had another really strong summer and has played extremely well in the post season this year. We have been very impressed and look for him to compete for a spot this coming season,” Locker said.
