A new or refurbishedBurnaby Hospital is still inthe works according to thecity’s lone Liberal MLA,but critics won’t be holding
their breath.Burnaby North MLA
Richard Lee said he spokewith the Minister of Healthrecently and was told therewas a location for the newhospital and the projectwould start in the next three
years.He said there is $4 mil-
lion in funding for the plan-ning process of new hospi-tal, which would be locatedat the current site.
Lee noted a new St.Paul’s Hospital inVancou-
ver and the redevelopmentof Royal Columbian Hospi-tal in NewWestminster areahead of a new hospital forBurnaby.
“The planning itself isvery fluid right now, at thisstage, depending on how
the project for St. Paul’s andRoyal Columbian are go-ing,” he told the NOW. “Ifirmly believe this is comingand it’s in stages coming.”
Lee also suggested theremight be adjustments to thecapital plan for the hospital
in an effort to try and avoidoverlapping services withthe two new hospitals in theregion.

Higher than expected enrolment andinternational student fees in the Burn-aby school district will bring in $5 mil-lion more in funding than anticipat-ed this year, according to an amendedbudget approvedTuesday.
Compared to the preliminary bud-get passed in April, the updated finan-cial plan shows about 194 more stu-dents than projected enrolled in regularprograms this year, along with 164more than expected students with spe-cial needs.
That helped push the district’s to-tal provincial operating grant $1.6 mil-lion higher than projected in the origi-nal budget.
International student fees, mean-while, were nearly $3 million higherthan expected thanks to 188 more in-ternational students enrolling in the dis-trict than anticipated.
The district’s expenses are also up inthe amended budget by nearly $3 mil-lion, thanks mostly to salary-cost in-creases, including teacher and supportstaff raises and 13 more teaching posi-tions than in the original budget.
Last April, the district projected anover $3.6-million operating deficit forthe 2015/16 school year.
With the higher than expected rev-enues, that deficit has been cut to justover $1.9 million in the amended bud-get.
The gap will be covered with some ofthe nearly $10 million the district has insurplus accounts, leaving local schoolswith just over $7.3 million in reserves.

HowtohelpthechildrenLocal teachers concerned about how to support refugee students flock toworkshop by child psychologist who specializes in abuse and trauma
Burnaby teachers andsupport staff packed a roomat Burnaby North Second-ary Friday to learn moreabout how to support refu-gee children.
B.C. Children’s Hospi-tal child psychologist Sa-rina Kot, who specializesin trauma and abuse, lednearly 50 local educatorsin a three-hour session thatexamined how trauma –whether caused by abuse orby experiencing violence ina war-torn country – affectsthe brain.
“The event of abuse andwar are different, but theinternal system of the brainand the nervous systemwould be similar in that ac-tivation – feeling unsafe,”Kot told the NOW.
Teachers already domany things that help kidsrecover from that feeling,like providing a safe envi-ronment and having mean-ingful relationships, Kotsaid.
Another important thingthey can do is simply listento kids talk about their ex-
periences, which Kot saidcalms the trauma brain(amygdala) and activatesthe thinking brain (prefron-tal cortex), allowing the stu-dent to make sense of expe-riences and file them awayin an organized way.
“An event that doesn’tmake sense is like a pile thatonce you pull anything, thewhole thing will fall.That’swhy kids act freaked out,”Kot said.
One tip she shared withteachers was to end eachdifficult conversation “insafety.”
“If a child’s talking abouthorrible things, no matterwhere they are or how theyneed to stop, take like 30seconds to end it by thank-ing the child for sharing aswell as summarizing theevent, not by saying, ‘Thatwas scary’ but ‘You are nowsafe.’That’s like parking it,”Kot said.
The workshop – part of adistrict professional devel-opment day that featured118 workshops – was orga-nized in response to an in-flux of Syrian refugees intoBurnaby since early No-vember, which has brought
18 new families and morethan 42 new students intothe school district.
“It was very useful,” Na-talya Khan, coordinatorfor the district’s settlementworkers in schools (SWIS)program, said of the work-
shop, “and everyone whostayed behind to thank Sa-rina, they all reiterated that.They said it was very usefulfor them, it was very help-ful.”
But during the sessioneducators raised concernsabout whether the districthad the resources to sup-port, not just the students,but their families, accord-ing to district English lan-guage learning consultantAnnThorup.
Many also wanted toknow what to do and whatnot to do when it comes totheir refugee students.
“I think there’s the fearthat, ‘I don’t want to dam-age the child even more,’”Thorup said. “Having achild break down in classis very nerve-racking for ateacher because they don’tknow how to deal with thatbecause they haven’t beentrained in how to deal withthat. And we don’t want tomake things worse.”
Kot, however, said onething she hoped all partic-ipants took away from theworkshop was that they’redoing a lot of importantthings right already.
“I hope they take awaythat they can make a differ-ence, and the brain researchsupports what they knowintuitively,” she said.
For Marlborough Ele-mentary Grad 6/7 teacherBarbWrinkle, that messagecame as a relief.
“The whole workshopwas very calming and veryreassuring to me that I wason the right track,” she said.
WinningMPsspentmorethan$100,000each
Want to be an MP inBurnaby? Better start sav-ing because you’re going toneed six figures.
Candidates from twoBurnaby ridings in last fall’sfederal election have be-gun filing campaign re-turn forms with ElectionsCanada, and the two win-ning MPs spent more than$100,000 on their cam-paigns.
Rookie Burnaby North-Seymour MPTerry Beechspent $129,730 on his win-ning campaign, while rais-ing $123,252 in contribu-tions, according to ElectionsCanada’s campaign financesummary.
However, the bulk of thecontributions, $117,899,came as transfers from theLiberal Party.
Since the transfers arelisted as coming from theparty, it’s unclear who spe-cifically contributed toBeech’s campaign.
But the forms do listwhere the Liberal MP spenthis money during the elec-tion.
Besides paying for var-ious campaign workersand office-related expens-es, the biggest ticket itemswere two payments total-ling $26,656 to MainstreetTechnologies, a companylisted as a voter contact call-
ing service.Neither the NDP can-
didate Carol Baird Ellanor Conservative candidateMike Little have filed theircampaign returns.
Beech won the ridingwith 36.1 per cent of thevote, or 18,928 votes.
The election expenselimits for all candidates is$207,659.
Across town, BurnabySouth NDP candidate Ken-nedy Stewart won his re-election campaign in a tightrace, spending $180,599 onhis victory.
The second term MP re-ceived the bulk of his con-tributions through transfers,totalling $214,296.
All of the transfers arelisted as coming from theNDP, so it’s unclear whospecifically contributed toStewart’s campaign.
The form also lists whereStewart spent his money,which includes campaignworkers and office relatedexpenses. But he also madetwo payments totalling$15,000 to Strategic Com-munications, a voter contactcalling service.
Stewart squeaked out awin on election night cap-turing 16,094 votes, whichwas just 547 more than theLiberal’s Adam Pankratz.
Neither Pankratz norConservative candidateGrace Seear have filed theirelection expenses.
Improvingtrail safety?As local police contin-
ue their investigation into asexual assault along a busycity trail, Burnaby’s may-or is open to making safe-ty improvements if recom-mended.
Derek Corrigan said thecity would look at any rec-ommendations that comefrom the RCMP related tothe recent attack.
“If they can see some-thing we can do, we’ll bevery interested in follow-ing up with it,” he told theNOW, noting any discus-sion would be through thecity’s public safety commit-tee. “In a city that has asmuch open and green spaceas we do, it’s impossible tolight the whole city.”
The incident happened
lastThursday (Feb. 18)when a woman, walkingalong a path on the Burn-aby Mountain UrbanTrailaround 12:40 p.m., was ap-proached by a man and sex-ually assaulted.
The woman was taken tohospital for treatment.
Police said the incidenthappened off the main trailon a smaller path that con-nects to Government Street.The suspect fled into thebushes toward LougheedMall.
The NOW spoke to sev-eral people in the neigh-bourhood the following daywho said they don’t feel safeor will only use the trail witha partner.

He might have beenbeaming during his allegedrobbery spree, but thatsmile has likely been wipedoff his face.
Less than a day after ap-pealing for the public’s helpto catch a prolific bank rob-ber committing crimes inboth Burnaby andVancou-ver, police made an arrest.
TheVancouver Police De-partment confirmed the ar-rest lastThursday in Burn-aby of a suspect allegedlyinvolved in nine bank rob-beries over the last month.
Police said they received anumber of tips after a pub-lic appeal was made lastThursday afternoon, askingfor help identifying a manseen in surveillance pho-tos. Around 8:30 p.m. thatnight, an arrest was madefollowing the 10th robbery,at theTD Bank located at4994 Kingsway in Burnaby.
“With advances in videotechnology, evidence collec-tion and security measuresat banks, it’s not a matter ofif you will caught for rob-bing a bank, it’s a matter of
when,” saidVPD spokesper-son Sgt. Randy Fincham ina statement.
It’s not clear whether itwas theVPD or BurnabyRCMP who made the ar-rest.
The suspect, identifedas a 24-year-old Burnabyman, is facing one robberycharge.
However, police expectmore charges in the future.
He is currently behindbars until his next court ap-pearance, which hasn’t beenset.
Investigators also haven’tsaid how much money
the suspect, who has beendubbed the “smiling ban-dit” by police because hewas smiling in surveillancephotos, made off with dur-ing his alleged crime spree.
Prior to the arrest, policebelieved the man was be-hind nine robberies in total,including four in Burnaby.
In all of the robberies,the suspect claimed he wasarmed with a weapon.

Vote-grabberornot, this isagoodmoveHow much is that dog-
gy in the window? A betterquestion might be: Did hecome from an ethical andcaring breeder who treatedhis mother humanely?
It’s a question the prov-ince has deemed nowneeds to be answered, an-nouncing on Monday thatdog and cat breeders willsoon need to be licensedand inspected to meetstandards set by CanadianVeterinary Medical Asso-
ciation.Perhaps, needless to say,
Premier Christy Clark re-ceived some scolding frompundits who saw her pho-to op of saving dogs a mitehypocritical just after shecut transit passes for thedisabled.
But cynical politicalcomments aside, we offerthe province a wag of thetail, not the finger, for step-ping in to help the provin-cial pets.
The move follows twohigh-profile raids on pup-py mills in recent weeksthat found animals livingin deplorable states. Sever-al of those animals had tobe put down because they
were in such rough shape.A purebred pet isn’t just
a big-ticket item that fetch-es a handsome price. It’sa loving creature that de-serves to live its life with-out harmful exploitation.The majority of breedersare conscientious lovers offour-leggeds, so we don’texpect to see them fightingthis claw and nail. In fact,it is to their benefit to cleanup the business.
But we hope this is more
than a can’t-lose politi-cal announcement. If theselaws are to have teeth,there’s going to have to befunding for inspections andenforcement. For thosewho break the rules, we’dexpect some hefty penal-ties, and not a whack onthe snout with a rolled-upcopy of this newspaper.
And while we welcomethe new regulations, we’dlike to remind people thatthe kindest thing they can
do for animals is to adoptone of the ones alreadyhere. Between the BurnabySPCA and humane societ-ies, theVancouver OrphanKitten Rescue Associationand numerous breed-spe-cific rescue organizations,there’s no shortage of ani-mals looking for a fur-ev-er home.

Voyeur killed in fight
B.C.mustgetpast thePST
Gordon Campbell’s polit-ical miscalculation in 2009to impose a harmonizedsales tax on an unsuspectingpublic, shortly after an elec-tion where promises to thecontrary had been made,continues to haunt the prov-ince.Whatever one mightthink of the miscalculation,the provincial sales tax is aseriously outdated tax thatneeds to be modernized – atask that today’s politiciansare understandably wary of.
The B.C. public mighthave accepted the need tomodernize taxes by movingfrom the PST to the HST ifCampbell’s government hadconsulted properly and pro-posed a lower tax rate to goalong with the change. Butno politician in their rightmind would risk reignitingpublic fury by suggestingthat path now.
Last week’s budget an-nouncement that the gov-ernment will strike a taxcompetitiveness commis-sion to consult with BritishColumbians and make rec-ommendations, while mak-ing it very clear that HST isnot an option, strikes a rea-sonable compromise. A taxcompetitiveness panel witha similar mandate, of whichI was a member, made rec-ommendations to the gov-ernment in the fall of 2012.Although I strongly suspectthat the main recommenda-tion will be similar, it makessense to consult again andget a current read on the sit-uation.
One of the PST’s flaws isthat it is not just levied on fi-nal goods but on everything
in between, meaning thatconsumers and business-es pay sales tax more thanonce on the same good. Ifyou buy a chair, for exam-ple, the manufacturer paysPST on the wood, nails, up-holstery and stuffing thatgo into making it. Some ofthese tax costs get passed onto consumers. Consumersthen pay PST again whenthey buy the chair.Taxes getpaid on the inputs and thefinal product, with business-es and consumers each ab-sorbing some of those costs.
The problems don’t stopthere. Administering thePST has become a night-mare for business and gov-ernment alike. At the CFIB,we spend months helpingbusinesses untangle quan-daries such as whether tocharge PST on pet foodcontaining medication be-cause pet food is exemptbut pet medication is not.If you have any doubts thatthe rules are a mess, pretendyou run a small businessand try reading the tax bul-letin on PersonalTangibleProperty. I dare you.
Unfortunately, budgetsurpluses are too small forthe province to fix the worstproblems with the PST to-day. A tax commission tomake recommendations thatcan be implemented whensurpluses are healthier stillmakes sense. It would ben-efit all British Columbiansif the province could put itssales tax ghosts to rest.Laura Jones is executive

City must act to helpsave affordable homesDear EditorRe: Renters rally to protest ‘demo-victions,’BurnabyNOW, Feb. 19.
I want to thank ACORN Burnaby for theircontinued advocacy on the issue of renter’srights and more generally on affordable hous-ing. As Burnaby council has now learned first-hand, housing in the region and in Burnabyspecifically is becoming unaffordable for mostpeople, especially new, young families who arehoping to put down roots in our community.
ACORN has been a devoted championfor ensuring that the supply of subsidized,low-cost and social housing is maintained,and advocates continually to have the stockincreased over time.
The new Kings Crossing development is avital opportunity for council to begin to slowdown the increasing costs of housing in ourcity. I hope that the city, the developer andoutside interest groups are able to cometogether to ensure that some of the housingunits being created in these towers will beused to enhance the stock of lower-cost rentalhousing in the city.
We’ve seen before that when counciladvocates for it, private developers will createsubsidized housing, or other forms of housingthat are below market value, such as with theGeorge Derby housing complex.
This strategy needs to be continued as oftenas possible and should apply to all incomingdevelopments as part of the four town centrescitywide development concept.
It’s clear that we need more affordablehousing.
Let’s hope that our elected officials keep thepressure on to do what they can to providethat housing stock.TrevorRitchie, Burnaby
Residents’ group is‘trying to prevent acatastrophe’Dear Editor Trans Mountain (Kinder MorganCanada) claimed that BROKE, in its final oralsubmission to the National Energy Board, hadbroken a procedural rule.
As a spokesperson for BROKE (BurnabyResidents Opposing Kinder-Morgan Expan-sion), I trust our lawyer, who knows that wedid no such thing: “Kinder Morgan is simplywrong.”
I joined BROKE because I wanted to stopsome of the GHGs (greenhouse gases) whichimperil my son’s generation. Kinder Morgan’sproposed expansion would allow them tobring 890,000 barrels of dilbit each day to ourcoast. The GHG’s from burning 890,000 barrelsof dilbit per day would equal the GHG’s from22 million average cars per day. Of course dilbitis far from pure gasoline, so knock it down to10 million. Either way, it’s unbearable.
But Harper banned GHGs from the NEB’sanalysis. So we hired experts in earthquakesand toxic fumes.
We added a reference to our deputy firechief’s terrifying report on the risks of anexpanded tank farm.
We’re trying to prevent a catastrophe.Karl Perrin, BROKE (BurnabyResidentsOp-posingKinderMorganExpansion)

Kinder Morganpasses oil spill drill –reactions are mixed
earlrichards This oil spill drill is notgood enough. KM and the respondersneed equipment to clean-up a toxic, tarsands spill. Tar sands is different fromoil, because the tar sands will sink tothe bottom of the harbour. The oil spilldrill is just a public relations stunt, de-signed for any one who stupid enoughto believe the spill drill, will work.
RealistNope. Wrong. This is aboutmaking sure a company can respondto a spill. Response is required whetheroil sands or not. Try some truth andfacts without your spin some time.

of the 2016 provincial bud-get for not including anyfunding to replace or fix theaging hospital.
Lee, who repeated thathe wants to see the hospi-tal built, was on the defen-sive, noting over the last 15years the provincial govern-ment has spent $36 millionon upgrades to the hospi-tal, most recently opening anew operating room.
“We don’t wait for thenew hospital, we improvedthe actual working environ-ment, facilities as well asservices to the patients,” hesaid.
A new Burnaby hospitalhas been a longstanding is-sue in the community anda part of campaign promis-es during various provincialelections, though no datehad ever been attached toany work.
“The reality is he (Lee)has no idea when an an-nouncement is going to bemade,” Corrigan said, not-ing there’s nothing in theprovince’s capital budgetabout the hospital. “It’s areal stretch.There’s nothingtangible at all at this point,as far as I’m concerned he’sjust throwing a number outthere.”
Corrigan added even ifthe province makes a com-mitment, she wouldn’t trustit, pointing out past electionpromises on the issue.
The Burnaby-Deer LakeMLA said the real concernis that the hospital is not inthe lineup to be replaced orrefurbished, nor has a com-mitment been made.
“What Burnaby deservesas the third largest city in
the province, is we deserveto have that hospital in partor in whole replaced,” shesaid.
Corrigan also criticized
a decision last year by theprovincial government tosell lands onWillingdon Av-enue near BCIT, which shesuggested could have beenused for a new Burnabyhospital.
A Fraser Health reviewin 2014 reported Burna-by Hospital was among theworst in Canada for indica-tors like hospital-acquiredinfections and fractures, re-
admission rates, and treat-ing patients with fracturedhips within 48 hours.
Officials with the healthauthority said at the timethe data in the report wastwo years old and improve-ments have been madesince then.

If Burnaby homeownerswere hoping to see a freezeon their 2016 property as-sessments, they’re getting adifferent kind of chill fromthe provincial governmentinstead.
The province has de-clined a request by the Cityof Burnaby to freeze prop-erty assessments at lastyear’s levels.
In a letter signed by Min-ister of Community, Sportand Cultural DevelopmentPeter Fassbender, he writesthat the current assessed
values are the best basis toshare the tax burden, add-ing that using older assess-ments may be perceived asbeing unfair by those whoseproperty has decreased invalue or increased less thanthe average.
“In addition, a roll freezewould require a statutoryamendment which wouldimpact the entire province,and is a measure intend-ed for only the extreme andhighly unusual circumstanc-es that affect every commu-nity in British Columbia,”the letter said.
The average increase fora typical single-family home
in Burnaby ended up be-tween 15 to 25 per cent.In some cases, homeown-ers have seen their propertyvalues rise by more than 30per cent.
Coun. NickVolkowstrongly disagrees with theposition of the provincialgovernment and the argu-ments in the letter.
“I was hoping they’d dothe right thing, but theydidn’t surprise me by doingnothing at all,” he said add-ing any relief from the prov-ince would have helped.See more on this story at

What will people see atthe quilting expo?
Quilters with displaysof the quilts they’ve made.There’s a room where peo-ple will be demonstratingvarious kinds of quiltingand aspects of quilting, likefree-motion quilting, appli-que, hand quilting, piecing.We’ll also have a hands-onactivity for kids and adults.So they’ll get a chance to trytheir hand at various aspectsof quilting.
What is free-motionquilting?
That’s where you quiltwith your machine, but youdon’t have your feed dogsup, so the quilter is movingthe quilt under the needleto do the quilting.
So it’s almost like free-styling.
It is.
Is quilting experienc-ing a resurgence rightnow?
It is as pretty much allhand art, like knitting andcrocheting, it’s a resurgence.There are brand new guildscalled modern guilds, and alot of young people are do-ing it because they’re sim-pler quilts, and they havethose clean industrial linesto them.
What do you like aboutquilting?
I like to design my ownquilts. I don’t follow pat-terns. I do the whole cre-ative process, from design-ing to picking the fabric,creating something original.The best thing is the lookon someone’s face when Igive it to them.
How long does it taketo make? I hear it’s a lotof work.
I do hand embroideredand stitched quilt that takesbetween 60 and 80 hours.The reality is people work
on several quilts at the sametime because they get tiredof them.
What’s special about aquilt?
It has three separate lay-ers – a top, middle and bot-tom – that are held togeth-er by stitching; that’s thedefinition. Quilting hasbeen going on for hundredsof years. Originally, it wasmeant to use up scraps. Itwas something poor peopledid – sew all your scraps to-gether to keep warm.Thenit was a friendship thing. …Today people make quilts
for the people they love asa way to be connected – fortheir grandchildren, for awedding. A lot of quiltingtoday is about creating com-munity. It’s an heirloom forsomeone you love.
There’s a real need, andyou’re seeing it (with theseknitting groups popping upin libraries) for people tohave a sense of community,because we live these sepa-rate little lives. A lot of peo-ple who come to our meet-ings, they just want to bewith other people.
Is it hard?
It’s easy, absolutely dirteasy. I teach quilting to kids.If you can colour or you canstitch a straight line, youcan quilt. My six-year-oldgrandson has made his firstquilt.
How can one get in-volved?
The Pacific Spirit Quil-ters Guild meet once amonth at the BurnabyVil-lage Museum.They hostspeakers, run workshopsand make charity quilts.There will be a sign-up listat the group’s membershipat the March 5 event.

The interior of the RX lives up toexpectations. Materials are highquality, amenities are plenty, andcomfort is excellent.
PerformanceUnder the hood, the RX 350uses Lexus’ reliable 3.5-litreV6. However, that doesn’t meanit didn’t improve it to make itbetter than ever. Lexus enhancedthe cylinder heads, intake ports andcombustion chambers, resulting in 15more horsepower to 295hp rating.
Fuel economy has also been improved. The 2016 RX350 boasts a 10.7L/100km combined efficiency rating.
Another added bonus is the fact that this engine is happy torun on regular 87-octane unleaded. This is something otherluxury SUV’s should follow.
Although the new RX looks more aggressive, its drivingmanners are still comfortable and confident. Those whofavour a softer ride and serenity will like the RX - agilityand throttle can be sharpened by engaging Sport modethrough the standard drive-mode system.
Just to keep in mind that the new RX is still very soft ridingand its handling is light and uninspiring in comparison toits German competitors, such as the Audi Q5 – easily one ofthe best handling SUVs.
The F SPORT upgrade adds sportier styling features, butdoesn’t change anything in the engine compartment. Whatit does add is a Sport+ drive setting that stiffens steeringfeel and livens throttle response much more than thestandard model. This makes the RX more engaging to drive.
An 8-speed automatic transmission is now standard fitment onthe RX 350. Also, all RX models will be all-wheel drive in Canada.
If fuel efficiency is the utmost importance to you, the RX 450H isthe one to consider. The standard 3.5-litre is mated to an electricmotor in the rear. This boosts total system horsepower up to 308,but combined fuel consumption is down to 8.0L/100km.
Like the standard Prius, the RX 450H does not require to beplugged in since it’s not a pure electric car. However, Lexus
New Look, Same Class– Leading Qualities
LexusRX
does recommend using premiumunleaded gasoline for this model.
EnvironmentInside, the RX receives a significantredesign that is truly impressive.Overall, the cabin is classy,comfortable and quiet.
The most notable change is that thegear selector is located in the centre
console now, instead of on the dash.This results in more space on the dash
to make climate and audio controls easierto operate.
Base models get an 8.0-inch dash-top TFT infotainmentscreen while the higher trim levels get a 12.3-inch hi-res display.
The RX performs as a first class family luxury vehicle. Theseats are plush, and the second row offers plenty of legand headroom. The larger outside dimensions mean evenadults should have no complaints about riding in the rear -especially since heated rear seats are standard.
Cargo space in the RX is impressive. There is 18.4 cubic feetbehind the rear seats, and if you need more, they fold tocreate 56.3 cubic feet.
The standard power rear hatch makes loading and unloadinga breeze, but the optional Touch-free Power Back Door is trulyremarkable. Instead of kicking a foot under the bumper, the RXwill open by waving a hand near the Lexus badge.
The only issue to be aware of is that the new roof design doescreate a rear blind spot. The standard backup camera andoptional blind spot monitoring system helps in this regard.
FeaturesPrices for the RX 350 start at $54,350, while the RX 450Hstarts at $68,950.
Standard equipment includes keyless entry, push-button start,leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rearseats, heated steering wheel, memory driver’s seat, dual-zoneautomatic climate control, heated windshield, backup camera,automatic headlights, auto dimming mirrors, rain sensingwipers, Bluetooth, and a moonroof.
Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include a voice activated navigation system, wirelesscharging, head up display, pre-collision system, lanedeparture alert, automatic high beam, dynamic cruisecontrol, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a panoramic glass roof.
Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the RX 350 are 12.2city and 8.9 highway, while the RX 450H returns 7.7 cityand 8.2 highway.
Thumbs UpThe RX provides high level of luxury and comfort. Itsbeautiful interior and reliable engines have made it theleader in this segment, and this fourth generation shouldcontinue this trend.
Thumbs DownLexus is determined to draw new customers into itsshowrooms, and the new RX is styled to do just that.However, some of its loyal fans may be put off by itsaggressive new look.
The Bottom LineIf you want a family-friendly luxury SUV that emphasizescomfort and refinement, the Lexus RX is tough to beat.
today’sdriveYour journey starts here.
Canada’s best-selling Lexus is getting even betterwith the release of the all-new 2016 RX.
Not only is the fourth generation RX asignificant step forward for the Lexus, it alsopushes the expectations of a luxury crossoverbeyond the “norm.”
“Crafting a new RX is one of the mostchallenging responsibilities we undertook atLexus, for the very reason that it has been sowell received by our guests over the past 20years,” said Cyril Dimitris, Director of LexusCanada. “The all-new, 2016 Lexus RX reinvents
itself as a more seductive and dynamic version of itself asit simultaneously retains all that our loyal RX guests loveabout the model.”
The Lexus RX competes with the likes of the BMW X5,Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90. To better these rivals, it isavailable in two unique models - the RX 350 and RX 450H- and the sporty F SPORT package can be added to bothfor the first time.
DesignLexus did not want to mess too much with its highlysuccessful formula. Therefore, the fourth generation RX isstill based on the Toyota Camry’s K platform and provides asmooth, highly refined feel. The wheelbase has grown by 1.9inches and overall length is up 4.7 inches, though generallyspeaking the vehicle doesn’t look bigger than before.
The RX’s new look has been described as “bold” and“aggressive.” Some may find that the exterior draws toomuch attention for them, but others will appreciate Lexus’new styling which borrows design trends from Nissan.
Keeping in line with the rest of the Lexus range, thegaping ‘spindle’ grille dominates the front end. The sharpheadlights share a similar look as the Lexus sedans,but are less busy and look more integrated towards theshoulders.
Down the sides, a high beltline gives the RX a strongpresence and creases along the bottom of the doorsadd some character. The C-pillars behind the rear doorwindows are blacked out to give it the ‘floating roof’design that is so popular right now.

Cyclists rejoice, Burna-by is one of many munici-palities across B.C. vyingfor a piece of the $6 millionBikeBC pie.
The province recently an-nounced applications arebeing accepted from munic-ipalities looking to take ad-vantage of the $6 million infunding available for cyclinginfrastructure projects, in-cluding bike lanes, cyclingand pedestrian bridges and– as in the case of Burna-by’s application – multi-usepaths and trails.
The city hopes to get itshands on some of the fund-ing for a 1.1-kilometre as-phalt pathway along Rum-ble Street from BoundaryRoad to McKay Avenue.
“We think this one might
fit the bill,” said Doug Lou-ie, the city’s assistant di-rector of engineering andtransportation services.
To secure the dough,projects must fulfil a num-ber of requirements, includ-ing that the project pro-motes commuter cycling
and can be completed with-in one year of funding ap-proval, which is why theRumble Street project is thebest bet, Louie said.
The city is upgrading thewestern stretch of RumbleStreet and wants to installa 3.5-metre asphalt urban
trail along the north side ofthe street.
This soon-to-be-proposedproject would be a continu-ation of the work that’s al-ready been done along theeastern portion of RumbleStreet near Burnaby SouthSecondary School, Louieadded.
The City of Burnaby isno stranger to such fund-ing, provided by the prov-ince through BikeBC, theprovince’s cost-sharing pro-gram to help build cyclingprojects in B.C. Last year,the city secured $638,000for the Gilmore UrbanTrailproject.
Municipalities interestedin BikeBC funding, whichcovers about 50 per cent ofproject costs, must apply byApril 8.

Wrestlingasafamily
For one more meet, three members of theCorbett family will stand together and weartheir St.Thomas More colours with pride– and two of them will step onto the mat tocompete.
The past few years head coach DougCorbett and daughters Ciara and Caileenhave worked, trained and practised as partof a large team.
The Knights wrestling squad is a fami-ly unto its own, but the last four years it hashad its own bloodlines.
This weekend’s B.C. wrestling champion-ships in Abbotsford presents the final timethat the two older Corbett sisters will be onthe same high school team. If they feel theemotion of the moment, it likely won’t over-come them until the final hold is completed.
“It’s a rollercoaster ride,” said Doug, whohas spent 19 years piloting the program atthe Burnaby private school. “As a coach youoften get emotionally invested in your wres-tler’s matches, but when it is your own kidsit’s off the charts.You feel every win and ev-ery loss a little more.”
Like a Rubik’s Cube, an individual grap-pler’s success depends upon a lot of movingparts – some outside the wrestler’s control.Preparation is where the foundation begins,and STM’s stellar record at the provincialsover the past few years displays how pre-pared its athletes have been when it comesto the season finale.
The Knights’ girls team has won the B.C.banner two years running, while the boysside captured its title two years ago. As agroup, STM is three-time reigning cham-pion.
Ciara enters her final high school meethungry for that final win. A two-time silvermedalist in 51-kilograms, the softspoken 17year old has overcome an early season in-jury to elevate her performance just in timefor the provincials. Her aim there is to wres-tle her best and return with a gold.
“It’s definitely something I want. It drivesme to want to finish (first) and I know if I
put in my best, do my preparation that it ispossible,” said Ciara. “In the end if I do mybest I can be proud.”
At 16, Caileen has competed at two pre-vious provincials and returned home withsilver (in 2014 at 40kg) and gold (last yearin Grade 11). She’ll be looking to make asimilar grab moving this year into the 43kgdivision. A big part of her preparation isthrough visualization.
“I do a lot of visualization the week be-fore a tournament,” she said. “I envision mewrestling my main competitors and tryingmy best moves, and then them respondingwith their moves.”
When it comes to their favourite sport,the hook was natural, having spent hours inthe gym as their dad coached his teams andthe girls watched, then tried it themselves.
“I’ve been wrestling competitively sinceGrade 8 but I’ve been goofing around onthe mats and going to camps since, well, likemy whole life,” said Caileen.
On the occasions where the two siblingslock limbs, Ciara’s taller frame and biggersize has given her an edge.
“They’re scrappy and they’ve had theirbattles for sure but they don’t (fight) – itmay help that Ciara is that much bigger,”said Doug. “They know what each one is
facing so they’re very supportive.Wrestlingis a tough sport.”
A third Corbett – Kiela, in Grade 6 – willlikely put on a singlet at STM in the com-ing years. Her two older sisters say beingcoached by ‘Dad’ is a great experience.
“My dad is a great coach, we all adorehim,” said Ciara. “We want to impress himon what we’ve learned and what we can
do…We went on a trip to a meet on theIsland and all the kids were calling him‘Dad.’”
Caileen agrees.“It’s fun. It’s definitely a different experi-
ence to be coached by someone else, but Ilove having my Dad as coach. I feel he un-derstands what I’m thinking, and workswith me on improving every day.”

KnightsshootingforMainlandcrownBurnaby South keeps its 4-A provincial hopes alive afterWednesday’s hard-fought win [email protected]
The St.Thomas More Knightsgot the start they wanted, thenkept going.
On the strength of a 63-45 winover the crosstown rival ByrneCreek Bulldogs onWednesday,the Knights punched their ticketto the 3-A provincials and tonightplay the Steveston Packers for theLower Mainland senior boys bas-ketball title.
The tale of the tape onWednes-
day proved to be in the beginning-- the Knights hit their shots earlywhile Byrne Creek struggled.
“We came out and had a posi-tive start,” remarked STM coachAaron Mitchell. “Talking with(Byrne coach Bal Dhillon) afterthe game it seemed they couldn’tfind their rhythm, six or sevenminutes in they weren’t makingtheir shots.”
At halftime the Knights hadpried open a 38-14 lead, and whilethe Bulldogs closed the gap to 10points at one stage, Byrne Creek
had too big a hill to climb.“We played scared,” said Dhil-
lon. “We played nervous, very,very nervous. (STM) didn’t throwanything different at us, but theyjust wanted it more.”
Richard Galicia topped theKnights shooters with 22 points,while Cam Morris, who faced foultrouble in the fourth, chipped in16. Also playing well were LiamFeenan and Edward Ju.
For Byrne Creek, BithanWannetted 26 points.
For STM, getting a shot at its
first 3-A Lower Mainland bannershould take away any satisfactionof having the B.C. berth lockedup, said Mitchell.
“That’s the impressive thingabout this group; they’ve playedfor championships before at otherlevels so they were happy (to win)but no one was losing their minds.
“There’s another game yet.”For the Bulldogs, a game yester-
day (Thursday, past NOW dead-line) against Lord Byng presentsthe last obstacle to a spot at nextweek’s B.C.s in Langley. A win
over Lord Byng and they’re in.“The significance is very clear,”
said Dhillon. “We’ve played themthree times (including wins byfour and 11 points) so we knowwhat we’ve got to do.”
The Burnaby South Rebels,meanwhile, kept hope alive onWednesday with a hectic 76-70victory over the DavidThompsonTrojans in senior boys 4-A LowerMainland action.

For the final shot on herhome court, senior Ali-sha Roberts delivered twostrikes to lead her SimonFraser University women’sbasketball team to victory.
Roberts, a Burnaby na-tive, sank both free throw at-tempts to break a stalementand lift SFU past MontanaState University Billings 63-61 in an upset decision inGreat Northwest AthleticConference action.
With less than a secondto spare, the 5-foot-7 guarddrove inside and was poised
for a game-winning jumpshot when she was fouled byMSUB’s MarissaVan Atta.
Roberts did what she sooften has over the past fourseasons -- calmly put bothshots in, this time for thewin.
“This is definitely surre-al,” Roberts said followingthe game. “I was so nervousbut I practice free throwsevery day.
“My dad always tells methat free throws win gamesand you have to make themcount. (LastThursday) I
made them count.”It was her only trip to the
foul line on the night. Shefinished with 15 points, sev-en assists and two stealsover 38 minutes.
The Clan, who trailed59-58 with 3:50 to play,snapped a two-game losingstreak with the victory andimproved to 13-10 over-all and 11-7 in GNAC play.They sit fourth in the con-ference, having clinched aspot in the GNAC women’sbasketball championships,which begin next week.

Burnaby Central’s Sara Brinkac andAnsel Hait are targeting a breakthrough atthis weekend’s B.C. High SchoolWrestlingchampionships in Abbotsford.
Brinkac, an outgoing Grade 11 ath-lete, has spent the past 12 months aim-ing to improve on last year’s finish. Movingup to the girls’ 60-kilogram weight divisionfrom 56kg, where she fell short of placing,Brinkac expects to turn last year’s disap-pointment on its head.
TheWildcats wrestler has honed hertechnique, added muscle to her frame andembraced the passion she has for the sport.
“The difference that I’ve seen is that lastyear the people I was going head-to-headwith, I can now pin and (technical) thisyear,” said Brinkac. “The people that werepinning and teching me this year I’m able to
go head-to-head with. I’m on the next lev-el. It’s a great feeling to know when the hardwork pays off.”
Hait shares that enthusiasm. Another ju-nior at Burnaby Central, he is eager to seehow the work translates in a new weightclass and on the biggest provincial stage.
“It’s a little more intense because there’sa little more muscle in the game, but it’sfun…We’re definitely coming to practicesmore, working hard to build up,” said Hait,who has moved up to the 90kg division.
Heading to Abbotsford, Brinkac expectsher share of butterflies – but isn’t worried.
“I love wrestling, it’s my ultimate sport.You’re not depending upon anyone elseonce you are on the mat. It’s all you,” shesaid. “It has all the aspects – you need flex-ibility, you need strength, you need stamina.Just to be able to win against someone andknow you have these abilities is the best feel-ing. One win and you’re hooked.”

South in ‘must-win’ territoryRebels hold No. 7-seedThompson to just 20 points,Burnaby South twice took a20-point lead only to see theEastVan school push back.
Some timely shooting latein the contest quelled theTrojans’ comeback hopes.
“We got a little bit com-fortable,” assistant coachDavid Smith said of a20-point lead that was whit-
tled down over the final fourminutes. “It was a combi-nation of some sloppy playandThompson turning itup. It certainly made it un-comfortable for us coaches.”
Kenan Krupic led theRebels with 27 points, whileC.J. Campbell put up 19.Leading the way defensive-ly were Hadi Honordoust,tasked with covering theTrojans’ top shooter, and
