Kinder Morgan goes on defensiveWanda [email protected]

Kinder Morgan went on the defensive after the company made headlines this week for seeming to suggest that oil spills can have economic benefits.

As reported in the NewsLeader in January, the company’s application to the National Energy Board to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline includes oil spill maps. They show that, based on modeling, crude oil could flow through Burnaby neighbourhoods on the way to local waterways in the event of a rupture or spill.

But there are positives to such an event, it says in its 15,000-page application.

“Spill response and clean-up creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and clean-up service providers.”

National media splashed the assertion across its headlines.

But the statement was taken out of context, says Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada.

The statement comes from a section in the application that “looks in-depth at the

Brentwood intersection ‘chaotic’: area residentWanda [email protected]

A 62-year-old Burnaby man was killed when he was struck by a car while cycling in the Brentwood area Tuesday afternoon.

The incident happened at about 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of Brentwood Drive and Beta Avenue.

The cyclist is believed to have been leaving the Brentwood Town

Centre mall parking lot and was eastbound headed toward Brentwood Drive, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis. It’s possible his view was obstructed by the hill and a lineup of idling traffic. The driver of the car was northbound up the hill on Beta and believed to be heading into the mall site.

The cyclist was not believed to be wearing a helmet and it’s possible he failed to stop at a stop sign, Buis said Wednesday.

He died at the scene.The driver is not from the area,

remained at the scene and was cooperating with police, he said.

Longtime area resident Terry MacDonald said the road closure from the incident diverted traffic from Beta onto Delta Avenue for hours. He was not shocked to hear about the accident.

“I’m not surprised at all. It’s a chaotic area that we’ve tried to address with the city.”

The intersection at Beta on the

north side of Lougheed opened in 2002 when the SkyTrain line came in, said MacDonald. It’s a move that was supported by the Brentwood Ratepayers Association to help traffic get from the mall to Lougheed more easily.

But Beta was never blocked off to restrict access from the residential streets up the hill to the north, which turned it into a rat-running route for commuters trying to avoid Lougheed and Willingdon, he said.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventure

Only mad dogs and Englishmen drive open top cars in the extremely chilly

B.C. high country at this time of year.But taking part in the three-day Hagerty

Spring Thaw rally, staged by Classic Car Adventures, certainly turned on this

Limey to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’ on roads that show natural

beauty at its awe inspiring best.Since my old U.K. friend, George Holt, moved to Gabriola Island a few years

ago, he’s pestered me to join him on a rally. Wild tales of his racing exploits

persuaded me that my participation might make it the last wish on my buck-

et list. Literally.When Hagerty Insurance invited me to take part in the non-competitive rally

for pre-1979 touring and sports cars, covering almost 1,100 kilometres, I fig-

ured this was the time to invite George.“I’m up for it, Sid, and I have the

perfect car,” George responded. You get used to him calling every male, Sid, and female, Doris.

He worked day and night to ready his 1954 XK 120

Jaguar roadster – it rolled off the production line in

the same year I did. It cranks out 200 horses from

an inline straight-six cylinder 3.4-litre engine housed

under that long hood. The gleaming blue roadster with a large number 54

emblazoned on each side drew much attention at the

rally start point in Squamish. The warming sun showed

off the almost 80 other classics to their best, too.

There were Alfa Romeos, many Minis circa mid-1960s,

Porsches, Jags, MGs, Aston Martins – including a

stunning 1934 Mk II owned by a gentleman from the

same neck of the woods as George and me – plus a

rare Noble M400.

We donned many layers of clothing, including leather aviator jackets and

fetching, matching yellow helmets, then strapped in. George at the wheel, me

by his side as his nagivator. We pulled out on the Sea to Sky highway and that

journey to Whistler brought tears to my eyes, as did the rushing wind. The twisty

Duffey Lake Road beyond Pemberton was no challenge for the mighty Jag. It

stuck like glue to the hairiest hairpins down to Seton Lake. A rest stop at that

watery stretch of tranquility brought the sounds of silence to our ears.George broke the silence: “It goes like

stink, Sid.” I completed his sentence. “And stops eventually.” Recalling a

recent bit of hard braking that had me worried for a while.It was then on to Cache Creek and des-

ert country before climbing to the snow line towards Logan Lake where my face

froze. The shower at the Kamloops hotel

brought back some colour to my cheeks.The second day would take us by Monte Lake and

Falkland and on to Vernon – in the pouring, icy rain.

The rains stopped as we stopped to look at a ‘car

graveyard’ where rusty examples of steel steeds past

caught George’s eye. “Look, Sid, my first car – a Ford

Prefect.” I then misdirected us to a second graveyard near Arm-

strong, populated by Sunbeams, Hillman and even old

Zodiacs. He took careful note of the location so that

he might return for his next restoration project.The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rug-

ged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed

along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside

Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaver-

dell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic

Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a

single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us. We

weaved our way north along the valley, through wine

country, to Penticton.“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he

looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road

trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home

was not.First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our

faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought

I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it

appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril

seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could

have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.

There was one other little challenge. The panel failed

so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out

what speed we were doing then shout at the top of

my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.

We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”[email protected]

various socio-economic effects of a worst-case-scenario spill, but we all know that at the end of the day the total effect of a spill is negative and every effort must be expended to prevent such a thing from happening,” Anderson said in a statement.

“Let me be clear: No spill is acceptable to me anywhere, anytime, for any reason. Spills are not good for anyone. Period.”

And while the project has “many positive economic benefits,” he said, “Spills are not part of our economic benefits analysis, nor do we in any way say that money spent on spill response would be justification for our project.”

And then in 2008 or so, the condo development was built on the east side of Beta, which only added to the traffic congestion.

“Where this incident took place is where you have rat-running traffic heading down the hill from Brentlawn Drive, you’ve got rat-running traffic coming up the hill from south of Lougheed Highway on Beta, you’ve got traffic going in and out of Brentwood Town Centre, and you’ve got traffic going in and out of

Brentwood Drive, the high-density apartments,” he said.

“It’s a very congested intersection. Coupled with vehicles now using it as a rat-running route, you’ve got a combination of a great deal of pedestrian traffic, cycle traffic, and automobiles all fighting for space.”

Burnaby’s assistant director engineering Doug Louie said he believes the accident took place at the lane just south of Brentlawn Drive, an intersection that has not been a particular issue.

But the mall driveway on Beta closest to Lougheed is being monitored due to the number of pedestrians crossing between the mall and Brentwood Gate, the housing development to the east.

“It’s an awkward area because of the steepness of the road and it’s close to a signalized intersection which makes it challenging.”

But there are plans, as part of the mall site’s redevelopment, to make the area more pedestrian-friendly, with crosswalks and road narrowing.

New retail spaces to reopen in spring 2015Wanda [email protected]

It’ll be another year before shoppers get their Station Square mall back.

But it’ll be a new and improved one to serve people walking along one of the most heavily travelled pedestrian corridors in the Lower Mainland, says Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing for mall owner Anthem Properties.

That would be the corridor connecting the mall to Metrotown SkyTrain station and Central Boulevard.

It’s all part of the redevelopment of the 12-acre mall site, a joint project between Burnaby-based Beedie Development Group and Anthem Properties, which will add five condo towers as well

as offices and new retail spaces right next door to Metropolis at Metrotown mall.

The previous incarnation of the shopping centre on the Central Boulevard end has been gutted and added onto, new windows will be installed and all the mechanical and electrical systems replaced.

The surface parking lot in front of the former Future Shop store has been dug up to add two levels of parking underneath.

“That openness that used to exist will still exist and the area will be available for night markets and open-air events,” said Houtan Rafii, vice-president of residential development for Beedie Living.

The way people move through the site from the SkyTrain station and beyond was closely studied and incorporated into the design, Zayadi noted. It’s been designed to be pedestrian friendly, with

walking areas level with the roadway.

More retail space has been added where the movie theatre used to be. And even though it’s not set to open until spring of 2015, it’s already 90 per cent leased, said Zayadi.

Tenants already confirmed include Bed Bath and Beyond, Future Shop, Rexall, Tim Hortons, Pet

Smart, Dollarama, Boston Pizza and Neptune Seafood Restaurant.

In Phase 1 of the project located on the Kingsway end of the site, there will be an Overwaitea supermarket—either a Save-On-Foods or PriceSmart—and a TD Bank. The overall site will also be home to two locations of Caffe

Artigiano, one each at the north and south ends.

Just to the south of the first phase will be Phase 2 of the project, where the old Save-On-Foods used to be. It will include a “restaurant row” of two to three eateries built in the Yaletown, loading-dock style with outdoor seating above street level, said Rafii.

Construction is underway on the Phase 1 first tower, a 35-storey, 269 unit highrise on Kingsway on the northeast corner of the site where the Red Robin restaurant used to be. The condos will sit on top of two floors of office and retail on the ground floor. It’s scheduled for completion in fall of 2015.

Phase 2 is set to launch sales later this month and start construction this September for completion in the fall of 2018.

It will include two towers, at 38 and 48 storeys, totalling of 767 apartments on top of a podium with offices and commercial space.

The fourth level will include a one-acre, rooftop park with children’s play area and waterfall for the use of residents of Towers 2 and 3. Phase 2 will also include eight electric cars to be owned and operated by the strata and 85 electric car parking stalls.

Questions credibility, awards plaintiff $53KWanda [email protected]

A Coquitlam man was awarded $53,000 in damages in B.C. Supreme Court recently in connection with a minor fender-bender in Burnaby.

That’s a far cry from the $1.2 million to $4.4 million he was seeking through the civil suit for lower back pain he says he suffered.

The plaintiff, Rich Zajaczkowski was driving a Dodge Ram pickup in stop-and-go traffic on Sept. 19, 2008 when he was rear-ended by a small sedan on Highway 1 in Burnaby, near the Gaglardi Way exit.

Zajaczkowski was wearing his seatbelt and the airbags did not deploy. The driver of the sedan, Breedon Grauer, testified he doesn’t believe he had even hit the gas before the impact but rather, had only taken his foot off the brake.

A few days later, Zajaczkowski felt pain in his lower back which he claims has been persistent enough it

has affected his earnings as a renovation contractor.

But there were serious questions about his credibility, said BC Supreme Court Justice George Macintosh in his reasons for judgment.

Zajaczkowski frequently admitted during the trial his memory is poor. For instance, he was not able to say exactly how much education he had. In court, it ranged from Grade 9 to Grade 12. But he told one of his doctors he finished Grade 8 and another that he has a college education.

And while he submitted written quotations for renovation work he says he could never take on because of the injury, lawyers for the defence tracked down one of the clients cited. That client testified that her dealings with Zajaczkowski were typical of a client-contractor relationship and that he told her last December that he was booked up with work until March 2014.

“The Plaintiff misled the Court,” Mcintosh said. “The quotation for Ms. Balano does not show the kind of work the Plaintiff can no longer do. It

shows the kind of work the Plaintiff can do and is doing.”

Zajaczkowski had little documentation to prove his estimates of lost income, repeatedly saying his accountant is reorganizing his books.

“A problem Mr. Zajaczkowski faces in advancing his claim stems from his concession, supported by the evidence, that his business has improved, and earned him more money since the accident than before.”

Mcintosh also could not find medical evidence that his pain from the accident was so great that it hurt his earning capacity.

Mcintosh noted Zajaczkowski had “largely failed” to do strengthening exercises as recommended by one of his professional advisors.

The judge did accept that the back pain has persisted and “aggravated his life” in awarding him $40,000 in non-pecuniary damages. He also awarded $10,000 towards a gym membership to launch him on a strengthening program, and $3,000 in special damages for medications and similar expenses.

When you’ve lived in one town for a long time, you are forever running into friends or acquaintances wherever you go.

It may be in the grocery store aisle, a coffee shop, a restaurant or the mall.

Maybe they are a former co-worker or classmate and you stop a minute or two to catch up.

Last week I met three other men I knew, all at the same time. It was 6:55 a.m., and we were waiting in line, requisitions in hand, for the bio-medical lab to open. And so life moves on to another chapter.

Instead of discussing hunting, fishing, trucks or grandchildren, we talked about cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes and heart rates.

We kept checking our watches. Not that any of us really had

anywhere to go, but we had all been fasting for 10 to 12 hours. As soon as someone tells you not to eat or drink anything, you become hungry and thirsty.

If someone had come along with a cart selling coffee and a

doughnut for $10, they would have made a killing.

Somebody in the lineup mentions you can go online for some labs and clinics and make an appointment. We raise our eyebrows at this suggestion.

The procedure we always follow is to go to the doctor, get the paper work and wait our turn at the lab.

For us, to fire up the computer, go online, search for the right site, fill in the blanks and make an appointment would surely create stress and increase our heart rate, which is probably why we are coming here in the first place.

Once inside, we take our numbers and disappear into various curtained cubicles.

We may get a glimpse of each other again as we cross paths carrying small plastic collection devices, but we avert our eyes.

There is a limit to what guys will share.

We leave with our little round Band-Aids stuck on our arms, to cover the gaping wound from the blood test.

We wear it like a badge of courage for awhile, so we can tell people about the huge steel needle that was thrust deep into our flesh.

Even a little sympathy at our age is well-appreciated.

Yes, eventually it seems we spend more time in the doctor’s office than on the lake, but we have to learn to go with the flow and accept the changes. Find the positives.

A lady shared that her coffee group had been meeting weekly for years, but recently the conversations were less about gardens and travelling and more about kidneys, gall bladders, hearts and lungs.

They decided that instead of

calling their gatherings coffee meetings, they would call them organ recitals.

A young man took his Grandpa to a fancy restaurant on the 20th floor of a downtown building. The food was great and the young waitresses were very beautiful. As they got into the elevator to leave, the young man asked, “Grandpa, if the elevator got stuck between floors, which one of those pretty waitresses would you like to have trapped in there with us?” Grandpa replied, “I guess the one that knew how to fix elevators.”

Our priorities change as we age, we become much more practical.

To quote Robert Frost: “The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.” Don’t waste even an hour of your day. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Jim McGregor is an accomplished writer and poet who, until 2006, was also Langley City fire chief.

With age, the conversation changes

The pronouncement this week from the World Health Organization that the spread of polio is an “international health emergency” must come as blow to local Rotarians.

But rather than deter them, it will likely steel their resolve. They have fought too long and too hard to allow such an insidious disease to regain a foothold.

Their challenge, however, is that they are not just fighting an illness, they are fighting ignorance.

Polio, by any measure, is a horrible disease. Those it does not kill, it leaves crippled or horribly contorted. Even those who escape death or disability can face complications years later in life.

For most of us, polio is a disease of the past; a memory like typhus, or cholera.

But it wasn’t that long ago that the threat of polio gripped this country. It was a time when the slightest hint of the disease closed schools and cancelled public events. Parents shuttered their children indoors for fear they might contract the deadly illness.

It wasn’t until Jonas Salk introduced the first vaccine in 1951 that North America began to see an ebb in the disease.

Soon, through extensive education – and a lot of money – that success was spread internationally. It was only a few years ago that the Rotary Club International, thanks to a massive donation by the Gates Foundation, was predicting the worldwide eradication of the disease in our lifetime.

But ignorance is a powerful force.

Rather than welcome a tool that could protect their children, the ignorant, angry and fanatical see some devious threat. In countries like Pakistan and Sudan aid workers risk their own lives to vaccinate the innocent.

It’s a reminder that while we can vaccinate against a disease, an inoculation against idiocy is still a long way off.

COMMENTRe: Could churches help fight homelessness? (NewsLeader, April 25)

Burnaby City Coun. Paul McDonell commented that “churches should be giving something back to the community” since they get “huge tax breaks.” Homelessness is a big issue and needs to be addressed, but it should be noted that many churches do give back to the community and help the poor in many other ways.

Take, for example, Nelson Avenue Community Church, a small church with an average attendance of 150 people—and this includes children and seniors on fixed income. Our church has given a huge amount back to our community, and I expect there are many other churches doing the same in Burnaby.

We do all our work in the name of Jesus, who teaches us to love others. Each year, our church gives tens of thousands of dollars to support the work of caring for others. This includes Union Gospel Mission, A Rocha, Bethesda Christian Association (which provides care for people with disabilities), Christian Blind Mission, House of the Good Shepherd (which provides prison counseling and rehabilitation for people in the Lower Mainland), refugee programs, financial aid when disaster strikes across the world, and many other worthwhile causes.

A daycare, which is run from the church, provides care for 65 children in the Metrotown area and has been doing so for over 25 years. We have a program which welcomes seniors, many of whom are lonely, for weekly meetings. Over the years we have provided ESL classes, proceeded by a nutritious dinner which was available by donation and supplemented financially by our church.

Many of our members volunteer at the Orphan Aid Thrift Store which supports orphans in Zambia, and we support

it financially to pay the rent and utilities.

We have financed and built over a dozen houses in Tijuana, with the youth of our church raising funds throughout the year to finance these projects.

Our church provides love and care for those who enter our doors. Meals are provided to new mothers, to those who are recovering from illnesses, to those who have lost a loved one. Those who attend our church are encouraged, loved, and prayed for.

We would welcome Coun. McDonell to our church on any Sunday at 10:30 a.m., so he can experience for himself what our church is like, and see how we give back to the community.

FECAL TRANSPLANTS SAVE LIVESRe: Fraser Health halts planned fecal transplants (NewsLeader, May 7)

It appears that Health Canada’s position on fully

authorizing medical fecal transplants is lagging behind the current scientific research. The fact that valuable bacteria exists in fecal matter has been known for some time. One of the more expensive brands of acidophilous capsules on the market credits its unique value as originating in a bacteria (hygienically extracted) from human feces. It is even likely that dogs, with their keen sense of smell, are selecting beneficial bacteria when they (somewhat to our disgust) consume another dog’s anal excretions.

If we don’t pressure Health Canada to release its restrictions on medical administration of fecal transplants, we may lose many more lives to the increasingly out-of-control terror of C. Difficile, not to mention the likely consequence of further illness and deaths due to dying patients who may choose to try fecal transplants at home without the safety of laboratory screening.

MOTHER’S D Y


Mother’s Day is coming fast, and the BC Lung Association wants to help any moms who want to quit smoking by providing them a little incentive.

They’ve launched an online “quit & win” contest through the province-wide smoking-cessation program QuitNow.ca.

The contest challenges women to blow off for one full week (June 2 to 8) for a chance to win $1,000 cash. BC Lung has also called upon members of its QuitNow community to share personal quit stories in the hope of inspiring others, beginning with proud ex-smokin’ mom, Mallika Dumma.

Mallika is a mother of two who smoked a pack a day until she quit on September 16, 2013.

“I’d tried to quit before, but only half-heartedly,” said Mallika. “Smoking was a huge part of my life. Before I quit, I couldn’t get ready or be nice until I had my coffee and about two cigarettes outside. Now I start the day with water, exercise and enjoy my coffee while my kids eat breakfast.”

What finally motivated Mallika to stop smoking was her kids.

“My two beautiful children, 6 and 2, are the biggest reasons I quit for sure. When your kids wish you didn’t smoke, it is just heart breaking. I grew up feeling that way, my mom smoked too.”

Working in the health care industry was another reason.

“I work in the healthcare industry and it hit me one day. How can I provide care and promote the health and well-being of others if I’m smoking like a chimney?”

And while she had experimented with different quit tools, Mallika ultimately managed to quit cold turkey.

“No meds, no counselling, no nothing, except of course the support of my family and especially my kids. I still occasionally get weak when I smell or see people smoking, but I know in the end it’s ridiculous to let something so unhealthy have control over you.”

Mallika encourages everyone who’s thinking of quitting to just give it a shot—that the anticipation is worse that the actual experience.

“It took me a long time to commit. I thought no way—I’ll lose it, I’ll panic. I was scared, but I want everyone to know that’s normal. Nothing worth having or doing is ever easy. The challenge is the fun, and getting it right starts by trying.”

Mom seeks to inspire others to quit

New Westminster mom Mallika smoked a pack a day until she quit in September 2013. She says she was scared before she finally took the plunge, especially because smoking was a central part of her daily routine.

MOTHER’S D Y


The Burnaby Fire Department responded to fewer fires and more medical emergencies in the first three months of this year, according to its quarterly report presented to city council last Monday.

Firefighters battled 104 building fires from January to March compared to 163 at the same time last year. They also attended 2,075 medical emergencies, up from 1,933 in the first quarter of 2013. Motor vehicle incidents were about the same with 378 this year, seven more than a year ago. The firefighters themselves were also a bit safer this year, as they suffered 23 incidents of occupational injuries or exposures, including two that resulted in time lost, while last year there were 125 such occurrences. But almost half of those were suffered while crews battled a fire that destroyed an apartment building at 3526 Smith Ave., and another 12 were exposures to asbestos during an incident at 7800 14th Ave.

So far no one has been injured or perished because of a fire.

Man arrested in restaurant B&EA Burnaby resident is facing charges in

connection with a break-in at a Columbia Square restaurant last month.

New Westminster police say the establishment’s alarm went off at 3:44 a.m. on April 17. When they got there they found evidence someone had been inside but had fled the scene. Shane Harold Davidson, 41, was arrested following an investigation and is charged with break and enter. Police say Davidson faces additional counts of escaping custody from jurisdictions throughout the Lower Mainland.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventureOnly mad dogs and Englishmen drive open top cars in the extremely chilly B.C. high country at this time of year.But taking part in the three-day Hagerty Spring Thaw rally, staged by Classic Car Adventures, certainly turned on this Limey to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’ on roads that show natural beauty at its awe inspiring best.Since my old U.K. friend, George Holt, moved to Gabriola Island a few years ago, he’s pestered me to join him on a rally. Wild tales of his racing exploits persuaded me that my participation might make it the last wish on my buck-et list. Literally.When Hagerty Insurance invited me to take part in the non-competitive rally for pre-1979 touring and sports cars, covering almost 1,100 kilometres, I fig-ured this was the time to invite George.“I’m up for it, Sid, and I have the perfect car,” George responded. You get used to him calling every male, Sid, and female, Doris. He worked day and night to ready his 1954 XK 120 Jaguar roadster – it rolled off the production line in the same year I did. It cranks out 200 horses from an inline straight-six cylinder 3.4-litre engine housed under that long hood. The gleaming blue roadster with a large number 54 emblazoned on each side drew much attention at the rally start point in Squamish. The warming sun showed off the almost 80 other classics to their best, too. There were Alfa Romeos, many Minis circa mid-1960s, Porsches, Jags, MGs, Aston Martins – including a stunning 1934 Mk II owned by a gentleman from the same neck of the woods as George and me – plus a rare Noble M400.

We donned many layers of clothing, including leather aviator jackets and fetching, matching yellow helmets, then strapped in. George at the wheel, me by his side as his nagivator. We pulled out on the Sea to Sky highway and that journey to Whistler brought tears to my eyes, as did the rushing wind. The twisty Duffey Lake Road beyond Pemberton was no challenge for the mighty Jag. It stuck like glue to the hairiest hairpins down to Seton Lake. A rest stop at that watery stretch of tranquility brought the sounds of silence to our ears.George broke the silence: “It goes like stink, Sid.” I completed his sentence. “And stops eventually.” Recalling a recent bit of hard braking that had me worried for a while.It was then on to Cache Creek and des-ert country before climbing to the snow line towards Logan Lake where my face froze. The shower at the Kamloops hotel

brought back some colour to my cheeks.The second day would take us by Monte Lake and Falkland and on to Vernon – in the pouring, icy rain. The rains stopped as we stopped to look at a ‘car graveyard’ where rusty examples of steel steeds past caught George’s eye. “Look, Sid, my first car – a Ford Prefect.” I then misdirected us to a second graveyard near Arm-strong, populated by Sunbeams, Hillman and even old Zodiacs. He took careful note of the location so that he might return for his next restoration project.The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rug-ged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaver-dell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

Shelayne Mulholland looked near and far for inspiration for her first fashion line.

The near was her mother, Wanda, the community development coordinator for the Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness.

The far was a year in Helsinki, Finland. While on an exchange at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Mulholland saw the northern lights and sought to capture their colour in her designs.

Last month, the Cariboo Hill secondary school grad was one of 37 designers showing off their inaugural lines at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s annual fashion show at the River Rock Casino and Show Theatre in Richmond.

Mulholland said she wanted to create designs for sophisticated, curvaceous women who care about wearing ethical, sustainable clothing that meshes with their strong values of community.

“I have always wanted to design clothing for real sized women,” said Mulholland of her Niina Artwear line.

“I wanted to design beautiful, flattering clothing for women who spend their time making our community a better place and want clothing that coincides with their core values.”

To achieve that, Mulholland used natural fabrics from sustainable sources, dyed and

painted by hand.“Clothes with good values

that were made in a socially responsible way are hard to come by,” said Mulholland, who also had to do extensive market and design research as part of her graduation project from Kwantlen’s four-year fashion, design and technology program.

The students’ work presented in Thursday’s show ranged from female motorcycle wear to travel clothes for men.

“It’s a final compilation of all the work that they put together,” said Andhra Goundrey, the program’s co-ordinator.

“It’s a great way to celebrate together as a cohort to celebrate with their family and friends, and also most importantly to meet with the industry.”

Talent show raises $3,601

The District Student Advisory Council (DSAC) raised $3,601 for the Burnaby Children’s Fund at its Burnaby’s Got Talent event on April 23.

The event, held at Michael J. Fox Theatre, saw more than 300 people attend.

The talent show featured two acts from each of Burnaby’s eight

high schools. Serving as guest judges were

concert pianist Tami Rizzo, professional actor Deni Delory, and Rogers Arena events manager Patrick Urekar.

The audience cast their votes for their favourites.

By night’s end, hip-hop artist Jahlil Dulay of Burnaby Mountain secondary emerged as the winner.

Runners-up were vocalist Harrison Park from Byrne Creek secondary, dancer Joshua Fernandez from Alpha secondary, and guitarist Mark Virginillo of Cariboo Hill secondary.

All proceeds from ticket sales, a raffle, silent auction and concessions went to the Burnaby Children’s Fund to help local families living in poverty.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Incredible value, an amazing location and gorgeous homes combine in perfect balance at Harmony, a condominium project in Richmond from Townline Homes.

“One of the major selling features of Harmony is its extremely central location,” says Chris Colbeck, vice-president of sales and marketing for Townline. “Owners will be within easy walking distance of Richmond Centre, dozens of

restaurants, elementary and secondary schools, several parks, and the Brighouse SkyTrain Station. Yet, we’re off the fl ight path and away from heavy traffi c, so it’s more peaceful and less congested.”

Th e interiors are luxurious in their own right, with beautiful kitchens featuring stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and square-edge fl at-panel cabinetry, and relaxing bathrooms with an oversized soaker tub and hand-set large-format polished porcelain fl oor tiles.

Homeowners will have several amenities on-site, including a 15,000-square-foot landscaped rooft op with a trellised zen garden, children’s play area, barbecue area and gated dog run, among many other things. Other amenities include a lounge with kitchenette, a games area and a fi tness room.

For more information, visit www.harmonyrichmond, stop by the discovery centre at 7180 No. 3 Road or call 604-278-3939.

Curb appeal and a fantastic neighbourhood are just two of the many reasons why South Point Walk, built by StreetSide Developments, is garnering serious buzz in South Surrey.

“Th is is such a great, unique location,” says Vanessa Isler, marketing and sales manager for Streetside, a division of Qualico. “It’s an urban feel in a suburban location.”

South Point Walk is just steps from shopping and dining at South Point Exchange, as well as the boutiques at High Street.

“Th ere will be a walking path directly from South Point Walk to High Street,” says Isler.

Homeowners will also have easy access to the U.S. border and Highway 99. Schools, golf courses and other leisure and recreation opportunities are also just minutes away.

Th e convenient location is artfully woven into a beautifully landscaped enclave.

“Th ere’s a lot of accessibility here,” Isler says. “It’s a nice balance.”

Th e fi rst phase at South Point Walk will include 42 condominium homes, ranging from 689 to 1,090 square feet. Every home includes a dedicated home offi ce or fl ex/work space. Th e second phase, with 76 condos and

30 townhomes, will be released later.Th e exterior is distinctive and welcoming,

with West Coast contemporary architecture featuring bold roof lines, cedar shingles, arched brick accents and large timber brackets, and large balconies. Ground fl oor homes have spacious patios and direct access to green space.

“StreetSide, working with Gannon Ross Designs, has really gone above and beyond on the fi nishings,” says Isler. “Th ere are nine-foot ceilings on all four fl oors; usually you would only see them on the ground or top fl oor homes. Th ey really add to the airiness of the space.”

A gourmet kitchen features classic shaker-style cabinetry and a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop with a full-height

ceramic tile backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a custom backsplash accent behind the range in either solid slab granite or marble mosaic tile. Th e custom-designed kitchen island in some homes is a masterstroke of convenience, and recessed pot lighting and undercabinet task lighting perfectly illuminates the space.

Wide-plank laminate fl ooring is included throughout the main living areas, with lush cut and loop carpeting in the bedrooms.

Bathrooms are straight out of a spa, with solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and undermount basin sinks. Th e ensuite features contemporary fl at panel cabinetry, in-fl oor heating and a hand-set ceramic tile tub or shower surround with marble tile accent. Th e second bathroom, where applicable, has shaker-style cabinetry and a deep soaker tub.

Homeowners at South Point Walk will have the use of a community garden, outdoor barbecue area and a trellised seating area with gas fi repit. Inside, amenities include a fi tness room and a social lounge with kitchenette.

Homes start at $233,900. For more information, visit www.southpointwalk.

Submitted photosStreetSide Developments’ South Point Walk will be just steps from South Point Exchange and High Street, making it extremely convenient. Among the beautiful features in the homes are wide-plank laminate fl ooring, stainless-steel appliances and recessed pot lighting in the kitchen.
