Park atop Burnaby Mountain dedicated to commemorate long-standing relationshipJustin [email protected]
In 1990, Japanese artist Nuburi Toko’s majestically carved wooden poles were unveiled atop Burnaby Mountain.
The dramatic art installation known as Playground of the Gods, now one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, was a gift from Toko’s hometown
of Kushiro to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the sister city relationship it shared with Burnaby.
The pair has continued bonding through the years and on Thursday (July 9), to commemorate the 50th anniversary of sister-city-hood, delegates from both cities met again atop Burnaby Mountain, this time to celebrate their long-standing friendship and the of�cial dedication of the park where Playground of the Gods stands, which will now be known as Kushiro Park.
“This naming con�rms our cities connection, recognizes our 50 years of friendship, and tells our friends in Kushiro that they remain close to our hearts. We think for Mr. Toko the artist and our golden friendship with Kushiro it is �tting that this site will now bear Kushiro’s name,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said during the ceremony.
“This site is a symbol of the friendship between the cities of Kushiro and Burnaby and it is a place that has become a major attraction in our city
since the monument was built by Mr. Toko Nuburi and then donated to the city.”
Former Burnaby Reeve Alan Emmott initiated the sister city connection when he chose the Japanese city because it shared the same latitude as Burnaby, as well as other similarities, such as size. In 1965, delegates from Kushiro visited Burnaby and signed an exchange af�liation agreement, which has been renewed throughout the years.

A sharp-eyed witness to an attempted break-in early Monday in South Burnaby led to the arrest of a suspect in a Surrey homicide hours before, say the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
IHIT is investigating a fatal shooting that took place in the 16500-block of 64th Avenue just before midnight on July 12.
The victim, 42-year-old Colin Hill, confronted an unknown man who was allegedly trying to break into his home. During the altercation Hill was shot.
The suspect �ed in what was later determined to be a stolen vehicle. Emergency �rst responders pronounced Hill dead at the scene.
While the investigation is in its early stages, it’s believed the homicide was random in nature as Hill and the suspect did not know each other, IHIT said in a press release.
Then, several hours later, just before 2 a.m. on July 13, a witness reported seeing a male brandishing a gun and attempting to break in to an apartment in the 7300-block of Macpherson Avenue in South Burnaby.
Burnaby RCMP responded and noted that the description of the suspect and vehicle matched those in connection with the Surrey
homicide.Of�cers contained
the area and eventually arrested a male suspect. A 22-year-old Surrey man faces charges relating to both incidents. The suspect has an extensive criminal record. Crown counsel has approved a charge of second-degree murder against Khouri Lamar Green, who made his �rst appearance in court Tuesday morning.
“Surrey RCMP moved quickly to get information out to all Lower Mainland police departments,” said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. “As a result, Burnaby of�cers had the information they required in order to execute an arrest and keep the public safe from further harm by this individual.”
Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said they are con�dent the person responsible for the homicide was taken off the streets.
“This tragic event is not related to recent shooting con�ict in our city, and I remind you that if you see something or someone suspicious to please call the police.”
Anyone with information about the incidents can call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email [email protected]. To remain anonymous, provide your information to solvecrime.ca or 1-800-222-8477.
The Royal City Farmers Market already has a devoted bunch of regulars who attend the market each Thursday, but they’re hoping to meet some of their friends this month during Meet My Market.
During July, the BC Association of Farmers Markets is offering prizes and incentives at markets across the province for regulars who bring a friend to experience the joy of shopping for fresh food that’s grown locally.
Melissa Maltais, operations manager at Royal City Farmers Market, believes word-of-mouth testimonials from friends is a great way to grow the market.
“People just share their passion and love for their local farmers markets,” she said.
“‘Hey why don’t you come with me this Thursday? Or let’s grab dinner at the food trucks and I’ll introduce you to the local farms.’”
Once newbies come to a market, chances are they’ll return, regularly.
“I think people really appreciate being connected to their food and �nding out how locally grown the food is,” said Maltais. “We have quite a few farmers within a 50-kilometre distance. So it’s kind of exciting and great to know that your food is being grown across the Pattullo Bridge, 15 kilometres [away] and just being able to see the farmers.”
“I think in this day and age where your food
comes from gets a bit lost and it’s nice to be able to go there and have that experience with your children or your partner of picking out what you are going to have for dinner and being able to talk directly with the people that grow the food or farm the animals.”
The Royal City Farmers Market runs every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. until Oct. 8 in Tipperary Park next to New West city hall. This year the market has expanded towards Queen’s Avenue, adding 10 more vendors as well as spots for food trucks and seating with picnic tables.
“It’s a nice shaded area people can get out of the summer heat and relax and eat dinner and wander through the market,” she said.
Ron Gorman, market manager of Artisan Farmers Markets in Burnaby, has watched the market grow and grow over the past eight years.
“It’s really about the connection,” added Gorman, referring to the interaction between market-goers and the food producers.
“I think the big thing is [market goers] like the way it feels. [It’s] social and the answers they get about the food.”
Another big draw is the wide variety offered at market, everything from clothing and spices and fresh fruit and vegetables to food trucks and just-caught �sh.
“It’s no longer just a few farmers and a couple of protein people.”
Last weekend there were 50-plus vendors at the Burnaby market and there’s a rotation of more than 120 different sellers, so every weekend can bring a new shopping experience.
“Such a great experience for the local businesses to grow and make connections within the community. I do a lot of my regular shopping at the markets,” said Gorman.
“Bring a friend to share the social experience.”
The Artisan Farmers Market in Burnaby runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot at Burnaby city hall.
Meet My Market month:
How it works: Bring a friend to shop at their local BC farmers’ market
and �ll out a ballot at the info booth, where they will be entered to win a three night getaway and wine touring for two to Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan.
People can also enter the grand prize giveaway via social media: Snap a photo at their local BC farmers’ market with their purchases and post it on social media, tagging @bcfarmersmarket and add #MeetMyMarket to enter. People can also enter via the BCAFM Facebook Page contest tab.

Meanwhile, it’s not yet known what caused last week’s �re at a townhouse complex in the 3900-block of Linwood Street.
The incident is still under investigation, Mervin said. Of the complex’s 32 units which were all evacuated as a precaution, only 16 on one side of the building were affected by the �re.
Those units are still off limits to its residents, but those living in the unaffected suites have been allowed back home.
The dry conditions and
resulting water restrictions led to Burnaby’s parks department closing its wading pools last week, said city parks and recreation director Dave Ellenwood, by email.
That’s because the wading pools have to be drained and re�lled every day, Ellenwood explained. In contrast, all the city’s spray parks are still operating because they operate on user-activated switches.
Outdoor pools will stay open for now unless Metro Vancouver moves to Stage
4 water restrictions, when all wading pools, spray parks and outdoor pools would close in the region.
The current Stage 2 watering restrictions mean Burnaby has cut back on watering its sports �elds as well.
“Sand based �elds need periodic irrigation to prevent them from dying, but we have cut back on the frequency and volume of watering to sustain them,” he said. “Soil based �elds are not being watered, and they will regenerate once the drought is over.”

Townhouse �re cause still unknown
Burnaby RCMP are investigating a drive-by shooting early Wednesday morning in North Burnaby.
At about 1 a.m. July 15, of�cers were called to a report of shots �red in the 2600-block of Tretheway Avenue, near a townhouse complex, said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar in a press release.
Police found evidence of shots being �red in the area.
The shooting appeared to target a vehicle parked
at the side of the road with three people inside. No one was injured.
The suspect �ed before anyone could record their vehicle’s licence plate. Witnesses describe the suspect vehicle as being either a tan or black sedan.
Burnaby RCMP are canvassing the neighbourhood for more information.
The investigation is in its early stages, but there is no indication as yet that the incident is related to
recent shootings in other municipalities, Panesar said. The people inside the vehicle have no apparent ties to gang activity.
Investigators have not yet determined whether it was a random or targeted incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-8732 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.

Corrigan thanked former members of the two cities’ councils for having the “foresight to know that this relationship would have intrinsic long-term bene�ts for our communities and would be a tool to promote educational and economic and cultural awareness.
“It’s hard to imagine this site without the beautiful Playground of the Gods sculpture here. It is a beloved part of
the landscape and view of Burnaby and beyond looking out in the direction of Japan,” said Corrigan, who noted that visitors to the park become aware of the special relationship between the sister cities when they see the monument and read the accompaning plaques that tell the story of Playground of the Gods.
“And most importantly we’ve passed on our goodwill to our children and even other cities as delegates visit us and see Playground of the Gods.”
Kushiro Mayor Ebina Hiroya, speaking through an interpreter, said he was honoured to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship.
The mayor from Kushiro noted that when the artist Toko passed away last year Corrigan and the City of Burnaby sent a letter of condolence about his passing.
“We delivered the letter to his wife and son,” said Hiroya. “They were very impressed to receive the letter from the
mayor and two of them are looking forward to coming and visiting this place.”
Delegates from Kushiro were in Burnaby until July 11. They attended several events, including the Kentaro Kihara concert, celebrating the sister-city anniversary. The concert took place at the Michael J. Fox Theatre last Friday and featured well-known Japanese pianist, composer and singer Kentaro Kihara.

TransLink has axed two senior executives in the wake of the referendum defeat that has left the transportation authority without a new tax source needed for major transit expansion.
Gone is Doug Kelsey, who had been president and CEO of TransLink’s SkyTrain subsidiary, B.C. Rapid Transit Co. He’s been replaced as acting president and general manager of BCRTC by Mike Richard, a past president of the SkyTrain division with 30 years experience.
Bob Paddon has also left and his former position of executive vice-president of planning and stakeholder relations has been eliminated and his duties assigned to two other vice-
presidents.TransLink of�cials aren’t
commenting on the changes nor have they yet disclosed any severance payouts to the terminated executives.
Paddon was paid $299,000 last year, while Kelsey collected $355,000 in total compensation.
The changes were announced by interim CEO Doug Allen in an internal memo.
Allen was installed in February to head TransLink for six months after a decision of the board to remove then-CEO Ian Jarvis, who continues to serve as an advisor.
Allen departs Aug. 10 and chief �nancial of�cer Cathy McLay will then take on the extra duties of interim CEO while a search for a new permanent chief executive continues.
“The executive search is well underway and a number of high-calibre candidates have expressed interest,” Allen said in the
memo that also thanked Kelsey and Paddon for their service.
He noted the changes will further reduce executive costs following the 2014 elimination of the chief operating of�cer position and earlier rounds of cuts to top management ranks.
“I understand that the past several months have not been easy for employees and that changes and uncertainty have been dif�cult.”
B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he hopes the changes “reinforce the public’s demand of TransLink to do a better job of managing taxpayers’ dollars in terms of the operations of TransLink.”
A week earlier, Premier Christy Clark had said the referendum rejection by 62 per cent of Metro Vancouver voters signalled not just opposition to the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax but that the public didn’t trust TransLink to properly spend any new money.
Stone has yet to take any further steps to reform TransLink’s governance structure nor has he yet named two provincial government appointees to the TransLink board to match the two mayors that now sit on it.
He said he believes there are still more opportunities to �nd savings within TransLink.
Stone also reiterated the need for mayors to deliver the region’s one-third share of contributions for capital expansion of the transit system.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEA 60-day transit strike in spring, 2001, has made the bus loop at Simon Fraser University a lonely, desolate place. And students like Joel Warren aren’t happy about it.Warren, of the SFU Students Union, said students are missing classes and exams because “they can’t get up to school in a timely fashion.”The lack of transit is especially a problem for SFU students because there are few alternatives available to reach the mountaintop campus, especially for those who don’t own cars.“A lot of people have turned to their friends or the ride boards,” said Warren. “But even then, coordinating peoples’ schedules is hard.”

Numerous local business have pitched in to give L’Arche Vancouver’s South Burnaby home a boost to its energy ef�ciency.
The project, valued at more than $25,000 in donated equipment and volunteer time, was spearheaded by Gateway Casinos and
Entertainment, which operates the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby.
The Burnaby gaming facility has seen its own energy retro�t projects achieve signi�cant reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions — a cut equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 85 homes, the company said.
In one example, a system
was installed to recapture waste heat, which would normally be sent out in to the atmosphere. Instead, that waste heat is now directed back into the building to preheat its hot water supply, cutting its use of natural gas in the process.
So when Gateway of�cials expressed to the Burnaby Board of Trade
(BBOT) that it had an interest in sharing its knowledge and experience in energy retro�ts to small, local businesses, the BBOT introduced it to L’Arche Vancouver.
L’Arche Vancouver is a local non-pro�t organization that offers an “intentional community” of people with and without developmental disabilities
who share life together in homes and day programs.
Gateway coordinated the efforts of other numerous businesses who were eager to help upgrade L’Arche’s Burnaby facility including: BC Hydro, Cedar Rim Nursery, Commercial Lighting, Emco, ESC Automation, FortisBC, GE Lighting, Luma Tech, Mac’s II AGencies, Sancor Landscaping, Steele Electric and Trevor Mang, who photographed their efforts.
The work included upgrading lights with high-ef�ciency �xtures, adding occupancy sensor controls, replacing the old hot water tank which was nearing the end of its life, and a refresh to its landscaping.
In addition to saving energy, and money through lower utility bills, the new light �xtures will require less maintenance and replacement of bulbs, and the lighting is now brighter, more uniform, and not apt to fade or discolour.
“It is wonderful when partners in the larger community offer support in such practical ways,” said Denise Haskett, L’Arche Vancouver’s executive director, in a press release. “The lighting project has already made a big difference in our building and the landscaping has also helped brighten up our property. We are thankful to everyone who has been part of this project.”
Tanya Gabara, director of public relations for Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, said in the release, “As a company, we gain so much from each of the communities we operate in and we believe it is our responsibility to give back, pitch in, and provide support to our neighbours.”
Donations give boost to L’Arche
Burnaby woman crowned Mrs. Charity B.C.
After three days of workshops and competition with 37 other women, Zana Gray of Burnaby won the Mrs. Charity BC title at the Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen B.C. Pageant July 5.
Mrs. Charity B.C. is the only title that is not judged. Rather, the contestant who raises the most for Cops for Cancer is awarded it.
Gray raised more than $12,000 of this year’s $33,000 to win her crown.
Gray created and pioneered a sexual integrity education program that has been running since 2006.
“Every human being is uniquely precious and is worthy of honour, because we each bring something to the world that no one else can,” she said.
The pageant will be broadcast on Shaw Television later this year. The time and date will be published on the Miss BC website at http://www.missbc.ca and on their Facebook page.

While Scouts are well-known for their motto “be prepared,” a local Rover Scouts group is taking its own motto to heart on an international level.
Rovers are the most senior section in Scouts Canada, where members range in age from 18 to 27.
Burnaby resident Anthony Lam started as a Cub Scout at the age of seven with the 4th Northview Burnaby Scout group, where he now serves as a leader.
But with Rovers being likely the least well-known of sections, many groups have few participants or
no such program at all, he said. That’s how the 180th Paci�c Coast Scout group got started as a Rovers-only group, bringing together interested youth from across the Lower Mainland.
With more than 150 members, mostly from Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond, it’s the largest Rover Scout group in Canada.
“It’s an opportunity for a lot of young adults looking for project management, leadership training skills,” said Lam, a Moscrop secondary graduate who’s currently studying criminology at Simon Fraser University.
The Rovers motto is “service,” something the group focuses on through service work at local seniors homes, soup kitchens and community events. They’ve also been taking that work to an international level.
The 180th recently returned from their �fth international service
project, this time in Malaysia and Singapore. Previous such projects have taken them to China, the Philippines and Mexico.
Lam, the project manager for the trip, said it’s all part of spreading the Scouting message of “creating a better world.”
In Malaysia, the 29-member contingent — 20 Rovers and nine advisors — visited an orphanage where they did some maintenance work and spent time with the children, teaching them outdoor and �rst aid skills.
They also helped with a food ministry, similar to a food bank, the �rst of its kind in Malaysia, Lam said. They delivered food to needy seniors, many who lived in a nearby shantytown.
And in Kuching, they helped plant 600 mangrove seedlings as part of a large reforestation effort after trees had been taken down for a massive diking project.

The 2015 Ford Mustang: the mean and the lean
‘‘The Mustang defines a cultural phenomenon that has lasted through the decades, and continues to inspire drivers globally.’’Alexandra Straub
It’s always nice when people think you look younger than you really are.Like when a store clerk asks you for your ID. Or you play the “guess my age” game with a stranger and the number guessed is a few years off. In the right direction, of course.When looking at the 2015 Ford Mustang, it’s hard to believe it’s just over fifty years young.The first iteration of pony car came to frui-tion in 1964. While it’s not a volume selling vehicle for Ford – the F-150 takes care of that. It is, however, a staple product in the North American brand’s repertoire. The Mustang defines a cultural phenomenon that has lasted through the decades, and continues to inspire drivers globally.Through the various nips, tucks, lifts and shapely reconstructions, the current Mustang has even more road presence than before.Not to mention it comes with an available, all-new 2.3L, 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine, a 3.7L, V6, or the five point-oh-so-lovely (5.0L), V8 with a dashing 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Having had the opportunity to drive both the 2.3L and 5.0L back-to-back is a testament to the range of power Mustang lovers and potential Mustang wranglers will have at their fingertips.Furthermore, both vehicles tested came with the six-speed manual transmissions.Even though the bulk of cars in North America (around 90 percent) are sold with automatic transmissions, there’s still no replacing that third pedal. Or the ability
to connect with a car on a more personal level.While the automatic transmissions in Fords have come a long way, I will, nine point nine times out of 10, pick a man-ual. The gearboxes are certainly great and linked with the engines is an overall stellar combination.With the 2.3L EcoBoost, it’s pretty amazing what this four-cylinder engine can do. It puts out 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque (but take into consid-eration that you need premium fuel to get the most out of it.) And speaking of fuel, don’t let the engine size fool you. It’s not stellar when it comes to real world results. Estimated figures come in at 10.6L/100km in the city. I was averaging
over 13.0L. I mean, I didn’t expect it to be amazing. And with all the stop-and-go driving that we shared, it’s not ideal. Then again, that’s not why one would consider the Mustang.It gets a little worse with the 5.0L GT. It’s to be expected though.On the flip side, the GT is, not surprisingly, my favourite of the bunch. Not only because it has the most power, but because of the way it sounds and drives. To add even more sweetness onto the pile, the 5.0 was a convertible.Clad in a Ruby Red Metallic exterior coat and Redline leather inside, it was a feast for the eyes.With the top down, you can further appreciate the audible glory of its rumbling engine and exhaust. With
the top up though, visibility is not nearly as good. Blind spots abound so be extra careful when navigating around the city. Regardless of engine size you have under the Mustang’s shapely hood, this rear-wheel drive coupe aka Fastback is a very agreeable car to drive. The cabin is quiet and welcoming. There’s room for four inside, but the rear seats should be reserved for those who are not as long-limbed. It can get pretty cozy back there, especially if you’re tall and push the seat all the way back.You could argue that any spot in the Mustang is a “good” seat. Top up or down. Whether it’s the roar of the V8 or the polite grunting of the 2.3L EcoBoost, Ford’s iconic coupe/convertible can be compared with wine. It continues to get better with age.

New life for first book, out of print for yearsWanda [email protected]
Winona Kent has been writing stories since even before she could write.
That is, even at age �ve, the budding storyteller was crafting tales through pictures drawn on the wall of her bedroom, Kent recalled sheepishly.
Born in England, she moved to Regina, Sask., as a toddler. In Grade 8 she wrote her �rst novel, handing out chapters at recess.
And in 1982, she moved
out west to study in the University of British Columbia’s creative writing program.
That talent and determination eventually led to the west Burnaby resident having a short story published in Flare magazine in her early 20s as the winner of a �ction contest. And as a �nalist in the Seal Books First Novel Competition, she had her �rst book published, Skywatcher, in 1989. She self-published both the sequel, The Cilla Rose Affair, in 2001, and Cold Play, in 2013.
Her fourth novel,
Persistence of Memory, the start of a new series, was published by Fable Press in 2013, but when that company folded, she was taken on by Diversion Books of New York which has since published all her works as e-books.
Now at age 60, Kent is having all her novels reprinted in paperback next month.
“I am totally over the moon. I was so thrilled just because it meant something like Skywatcher, which has been out of print for 25 years, was coming back in print.”
Diversion has also agreed
to take on her future novels, Kent said, noting she plans to write 10 in the latest series featuring a pair of time travellers.
Skywatcher and The Cilla Rose Affair are spy novels, inspired by the Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV show of the 1960s, while Cold Play takes place aboard a cruise ship to Alaska. For that book she drew both from her own experience as a cruise ship passenger and her sister’s as a cruise ship employee.
The latest book and series came about while Kent was researching her family history. She had a great-grandfather who she
couldn’t �nd a shred of information about.
He “turned out to be a total mystery … I thought, what if I could go back in time and track down this person and meet him?”
The next book in the series, In Loving Memory, will be published July 2016.
Kent does much of her research and writing in the middle of the night, in between her day job as a program assistant at UBC. She said she loves her job, but is looking forward to retirement in less than �ve years.
“It would be so nice to write full time for the �rst
time in my life.”For more information
on her books and where to buy them, visit winonakent.com.

Burnaby Central grad Murray Sawchuck is set to appear in three new TV shows this summer, while headlining a regular show at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where he now lives.
Sawchuck spent several weeks in his hometown recently to spend time with his ailing father, who passed away in June.
He was nostalgic about
growing up in Burnaby, getting his �rst magic kit as a gift at age seven, and his years before becoming a professional magician.
“I remember driving around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland doing three to six children’s birthday parties in my little red truck wondering what it would be like being on television let alone performing in Las Vegas
and today I have both!” Sawchuck said in a press release. “I credit most of it to being born and raised in British Columbia. I had an amazing upbringing!”
Sawchuck used to wash dishes at The Keg restaurant, stock shelves for Canadian Tire, work as a lifeguard at Bonsor Pool, �x bikes at Cap’s Bicycles and work at The Hudson’s Bay.
Today he’s known as “Murray ‘Celebrity Magician’” in Vegas and when he takes his show on the road. His big break came in 2010 when he �nished as a semi-�nalist in the �fth season of America’s Got Talent where
his illusions included producing a Ferrari out of thin air, turning a woman locked in a cage into a live tiger, then having the woman re-appear next to the judges. He also made a 1918 steam locomotive, the same type his dad �rst worked on years ago, disappear off the stage.
His current TV shows include the second season of CW Network’s Masters of Illusion, Don’t Blink on POPTV and Extreme Escapes on Reelz Channel. He also serves as the resident historian for antique magic devices on the History Channel’s Pawn Stars.

Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs team upJustin [email protected]
It’s a �eld of dreams, for kids.
Last Tuesday, 300 children from across the Lower Mainland got to play baseball on the well-manicured Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium.
It was opening day of the Foundation League, which is the result of the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation and the Boys & Girls Club of South Coast BC teaming up to give children, ages six to 11, the chance to play organized baseball for six weeks on the home �eld of the Vancouver Canadians.
Each child receives new equipment, complimentary meals and transportation to and from the iconic
Vancouver ballpark.Burnaby ballplayer
Louie, an 11-year-old pitcher and third baseman who aspires to play pro some day, was excited to step onto the same �eld that the pros play on.
“[It] was pretty cool. The �eld is so big,” he said. “It’s really nice and I like playing there. It’s really fun.”
Carolyn Tuckwell, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of South Coast BC, was at the �eld when the buses �lled with kids arrived on opening day.
“It’s really incredible, you get these busloads of kids and they �ood onto the �eld.
“It’s pretty spectacular. It’s all excitement. They are raring to go.”
Tuckwell still remembers getting a visit from Vancouver Canadians president Andy Dunn who proposed the idea of the Foundation League.
“I said ‘We’re in,’” recalled Tuckwell. “Being able to give the access to baseball is huge for us.”
The league has been a big hit and continues to grow. This year, 75 additional spots were added.
“We were able to respond to the increased demand,” she said.
The league consists of two divisions, one for seven and eight year olds, and the other for players 9 to 11.
Tuckwell said support from the Canadians have gone well beyond the Foundation League, with the team offering tons of other support, from hosting kids at Canadians’ games to providing equipment.
“They’ve done such an incredible amount.”
Tuckwell noted that lessons learned at the Foundation League aren’t just about baseball.
For instance, she said, kids learn about other important life skills and
lessons, things like the power of volunteerism as demonstrated by the coaches and other adults who donate their time.
“It’s the kind of
experience that our alum tells us when they are grow up it tells them to come back [to volunteer to help others],” said Tuckwell.
Since its inception, the
Foundation League has given nearly 1,000 kids the chance to play organized baseball so far. For more information, visit: http://atmilb.com/LpgGFY.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?Alot of people have trouble catchingwhat people say, especially in groupsituations, despite having goodhearing. What a lot of people don’tknow is that this may be caused bydamage to the so-called motor orampli�er function of special cells inthe ear. A new type of hearing aidcan help balance this out.
A great many people have di�cultyhearing others clearly on adaily basis.Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation,background noise and music o�enmake it challenging to catch whatpeople say. �is results in themhaving to repeatedly ask questions,straining to hear and perhapsincreasingly avoiding discussions inlarge groups. As mentioned earlier,this may be caused by malfunctionsin special cells in the ear. Accordingto a theory proposed by hearingresearchers, “motor cells” are a typeof hair cell responsible for amplifyingquiet sounds. �ey vibrate up to20,000 times per second. If thesehair cells do not work properly thenquiet sounds are no longer naturally
ampli�ed in the ear and loud soundsno longer dampened.
�is leads tomore di�culty in hearingwhat is said in a lot of situations. If thehair cells have been damaged by noiseor blood circulation problems, hearingaids that amplify quiet speech anddampen loud ambient noise can be agood solution for most people.
Hair cells in the ear move veryrapidly and can act as an ampli�er ordampener. If these cells are damaged,they can no longer properly amplifyspeech and dampen loud noises.
�is improvement in hearing canbe achieved for some clients throughthe new Phonak Audéo V’s hearingaids. This cutting-edge hearingtechnology comes in a miniaturecasing that can signi�cantly enhancethe user’s ability to hear speech incompany.�ehearing aids attune tothe person you are speaking to andcan also recognize if ambient noiseincreases in the background.

The 12th man was out in force at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby last Friday as the Russell Wilson Passing Academy (RWPA) rolled into town.
The Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback, along with several other Seahawk players, support staff, cheerleaders — even the team mascot Blitz — were all on hand putting more than 200 kids through a day-long football academy.
The academy is designed for children ages eight to 17 to develop the fundamental skills of being a great football player. But the RWPA is much more as they also promote the mental and physical development of youth, with the goal of encouraging kids to develop high character and moral standards, a sense of competitiveness and fair play, and a respect for authority.
“This is the second year we have been in the Vancouver area, and we are excited. This is our international destination,” said Wilson. “We have kids here who love football and love the Seahawks, so it’s an awesome time teaching these kids the fundamentals and life too through a Q&A later with the kids and parents, so it’s a fun experience.”
The RWPA is currently
on a cross-country tour through the U.S and Canada. Following Friday’s session in Burnaby, the tour headed back to Seattle where more than 900 kids went through the program at the University of Washington on Saturday.
“It’s been a fun time. My best friend Scott Pickett is the organizer of the academy and really helps me with the organization,” said Wilson. “It’s a whole team effort. God has given me so many abilities to be an in�uence and play the great game of football. To share some moments with these kids that will hopefully have an impact on — if we can change one kids’ life then it’s all worth the while. That’s the goal — change one kids’ life one day at a time and teach them some great football too.”
Wilson said the Seahawks
organization plays a big role in the success of the academy helping with the NFL’s Play 60 initiative, which was also part of the day and having some of the cheerleaders and mascot on hand for photos and to interact with the participants, which adds to the whole experience.
Wilson himself also was part of many of the drills and posed for photos and signed camp T-shirts for all the participants.
“The Seahawks do a tremendous job,” he said. “I’m so grateful to the Seahawks organization and all they do to help us out and really impact Vancouver and Canada in general and continue to pick up the enthusiasm of the Seahawks in this area. We like that enthusiasm and that’s what makes this so special.”

Burnaby resident Raymund Torres will be racing his PRO3 BMW 325 this weekend at the Sports Car Club of B.C. charity auto race in support of Ronald McDonald House (RMH).
RMH plays host to families of sick children receiving treatment in local hospitals and relies, in part, on the generous support of the public.
The Race for the House on July 18 and 19 will be another great motorsport event in the Lower Mainland. A wide variety of race cars will be in attendance, with the open wheel formula continental cars taking centre stage. Best of all, for a small donation, the public can experience the thrill of motorsport racing by taking a few laps at speed in a high-performance car around the road course at Mission Raceway Park in the hot laps event. 50/50 draws will also be held each day in support of RMH.
RMH has become an integral part of the treatment of sick children in Vancouver. In response to increasing demand a new RMH opened last year and can accommodate up to 73 families at one time, and more than 2,500 in the course of a year.
Each night’s stay at RMH costs $75, with the family asked to pay only $12. Fundraising events such as this charity weekend raises much needed funds to cover the costs of these family stays and is a wonderful way to help.
See more details on the race weekend at www.sccbc.net.

North Vancouver’s Lynn Valley Towers to Go Ahead
Bosa Development gets green light to demolish the old library site, a parking structure and the old Zellers building and redevelop Lynn Valley mall area for approx. 360 residential units plus a new commercial podium
2016 and the spring of 2018. The rest, including 244 units and the commercial space where the old Zellers store once sat is slated to begin construction in the fall of 2016 and continue until the summer of 2018.
The remainder of the mall will be renovated sometime after.
Bosa has tweaked the project somewhat since winning its bid for rezoning in June 2014. The project will now have 39 fewer units and one of the towers will be one storey shorter.
Granting the development permit was a long time coming for members of council who reflected on the years spent developing the official community plan, the Lynn Valley town centre plan and the design guidelines for the development. The process was rocky at times but ultimately, made for good compromise in the final design, council members noted.
“I will say that I’m very pleased that
Bosa Development has been given the go-ahead to redevelop a portion of the Lynn Valley mall,
demolition estimated for late summer or early fall 2015.
District of North Vancouver council voted unanimously June 15 to issue the development permit for Lynn Valley Centre, which will eventually include a 50,000 square-foot commercial podium and 360 approx. residential units in six
buildings between four and 12 storeys in height.
In exchange, the district is receiving $4.5 million worth of community amenities in cash, affordable housing, public art and a widening of Lynn Valley Road at Highway 1.
Under the timeframe presented to council, the eastern side of project along Mountain Highway will be the first to go under construction with 116 of the units being built between the winter of
we’ve finally arrived at a development permit for this project,” said Coun. Roger Bassam. “It just seemed to go on and on and on but ultimately, this is what the reward is. We’re going to have a new heart in the Lynn Valley town centre. I’m very excited to see this begin. I’ll be even more excited when it’s done.”
The project is intended to revitalize Lynn Valley.
“Most people under 40 support it. A few of us older people support it as well,” said Councillor Robin Hicks, also a Lynn Valley resident.
“It had a fairly volatile process but I think the end result is going to please everybody, even the doubters in the end.”
After praising the design, Councillor Lisa Muri said the project will be a test of the district’s construction mitigation plans.
