‘Cautious’ optimism school may start on timeInvolvement of veteran mediator Ready a positiveWanda [email protected]
Burnaby’s school board chair is “cautiously optimistic” school will start on time despite the current teachers strike.
“That is encouraging news,” said Baljinder Narang of reports veteran mediator Vince Ready is now willing to wade into the dispute between the BC Teachers Federation and the provincial government.
“We’re going along targeting school opening on Sept. 2nd as we would and we’re hoping that, you know, it may not be perfect on the first day, but at least we’d be open.”
If a contract settlement is reached and teachers ratify the deal, there will be some challenges since the regular end-of-school process didn’t really happen after teachers went on a full-scale strike in mid-June, Narang said.
With no summer school some students may need to have their grade levels readjusted.
Company wants to file pipeline emergency plan confidentiallyWanda [email protected]
Hell hasn’t frozen over and there haven’t been any reports of flying pigs, but the seemingly improbable has happened—the City of Burnaby and provincial government agree on something.
The NDP-affiliated Burnaby council and BC Liberal government have both written to the National
Energy Board (NEB) stating the same position. Both oppose Kinder Morgan’s request to file in secret its emergency plan for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The company filed a notice of motion earlier this month seeking NEB permission to file its emergency management program (EMP) confidentially.
In it, the company claims the
documents “contain proprietary technical information” about its emergency procedures. They also
include names and contact information for company and industry employees who could be affected by resulting privacy and security issues.
There is a “real and substantial risk” that if the information in the plan is made public it will compromise security
of the pipeline, its facilities and systems, or those methods used to protect them, Kinder Morgan said.
It is, however, willing to provide the information to local, provincial or federal authorities. But first they must meet a set of conditions, including that they sign a confidentiality agreement.
In its response, the provincial government said the company has not shown that it holds any such proprietary information and if it did, it would be “quite unusual.”

It noted that concerns about personal information could be solved by redacting it from the documents.
As for any risks, the province said it’s unclear what they could be since the right-of-way is marked with signs and all related facilities are above ground and clearly identified. Detailed information of the expansion project has already been made public so the company’s claim it would lead to an increased security risk “seems implausible.”
Public interest in the information is “high and undeniable,” the province said.
Throughout the company’s application for the project it touts the merits of its emergency
management program, it noted.
“The Province takes the position that Trans Mountain cannot have it both ways—It cannot rely on the EMP to assuage the concerns of the Board, Intervenors and the public with respect to the effects of a spill, all the while avoiding public scrutiny by refusing to disclose the EMP documents on the public record.”
The City of Burnaby agrees. In its own response it added that, “In effect, Trans Mountain is asking first responders to go blindly into emergency situations without the benefit of a prior knowledge.
“In short, Trans Mountain is requesting to keep confidential the very information necessary
to save lives, protect property, and safeguard the environment,” Burnaby said. “Clearly this arrangement is not in the public interest.”
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said in a press release, “We know that Kinder Morgan does not have the capacity to deal with potential spills and fires and we are determined to ensure that they are not permitted to hide from the public the inadequacy of their plans.”
Kinder Morgan is proposing to almost triple capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. It wants to increase exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets using tankers in Burrard Inlet.

Some schools will have new administrators and teachers who will need to get oriented to their new posts.
“There are a lot of systems that will need to be put together but I think we are aware of the challenges and we’re trying to prepare ourselves to meet those challenges. Will it be perfect? I don’t think so,” she said. “Will [teachers returning to work] be good? I think it will be extremely good to have that happen.”
Many details are still unknown, such as whether child care facilities located in schools will be open if the strike continues after Sept. 1.
“There is guarded optimism that the kind of movement that we are reading—and we’ve just read what’s being presented in the media—that Vince Ready is considering this seriously, is a good sign. To draw more conclusions would be premature.”
Narang noted parents in some media reports have set Aug. 27 as a deadline, that if the dispute isn’t settled by then they believe the start of school will be delayed.
“I would be more optimistic than that,” she said. “We are trying to get it as ready as we can so that even at the last minute we would be able to open up school. It won’t be perfect but it would be open.”
Just in case the first day back at school is not on Sept. 2, some organizations are putting together contingency plans for parents.
The YMCA of Greater Vancouver has started a waitlist for its “strike camps.” They would be located at its four YMCA facilities in the region in case its school-based child cares, of which there are five in Burnaby, are not open. Call 604-939-9622 for more details.
And Burnaby Village Museum is offering day camps during the first two weeks of September if public schools are not in session.
They’ll run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m with after camp care available until 4:30 p.m. for an extra charge. It’s for ages six to 10. Cost is $130 for the four-day first week of Sept. 2 to 4, and $160 for Sept. 8 to 12. Info and registration: 604-297-4565.

Just signed last lease for Canada Way locationWanda [email protected]
Charlie Sigvardsen has long known a move is inevitable for his chocolate shop, a fixture on Canada Way for over 40 years.
Now he can start planning for it.
Since 1970, Sigvardsen’s Charlie’s Chocolate Factory has been located on the same block near Boundary Road. Over the years it moved next door then slowly expanded until it now occupies the entire building at 3746 Canada Way.
Sigvardsen said for years he tried to buy the property from the previous owner to no avail. He had a right of first refusal in his lease, and when the time came, he had an appraisal done and offered $2 million.
But the current owner said $3 million, a figure that made sense for a developer but not for his family chocolate shop, Sigvardsen said.
Then came a couple years of uncertainty, during which Sigvardsen’s lease ran out and last spring, the owner went to court in an unsuccessful attempt to evict him. The two sides then decided to try and work it out without lawyers and they signed a new five-year lease last month.
“It was a big relief, I was going through some challenging times,” said Sigvardsen on Friday.
Now the family can focus on the future, one that involves a move to a larger space, possibly in the Big Bend light industrial area of South Burnaby.
They’ll need to find a building, or have one built, where they could accommodate increased numbers of tour groups and buses who would come to watch the company’s chocolate production process from behind glass. It could also bring its Burnaby and Port Coquitlam locations, the latter where his son Blair produces chocolate moulds, all under one
roof. The company employs 20 people, including four members of the Sigvardsen family.
Sigvardsen expects they’ll need about 20,000 square feet, compared to its current space of about 8,000 square feet.
At age 84, Sigvardsen readily admits he might not be around when they’re finally ready to make the move. But he’s quick
to note that his two sons and co-owners, Colin and Blair, will carry on the family business, along with Colin’s daughter Ellen.
The move and expansion will just be another step in his shop’s evolution, he stressed, explaining that businesses need to change over time if they want to stay viable.
Charlie planning move for longtime chocolate shop

The company has just signed a five-year lease with the building’s new owners, and hopes to eventually relocate to a new, expanded location elsewhere in Burnaby where customers can better watch the chocolate production process.

Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.
As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.
Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political
corruption story). The reason water release
has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.
For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.
Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-
term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.
On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.
It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.
It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical
engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.
TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.
Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.
No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

What we know about the mine spill
A lot has happened since Marc Emery went to jail in the United States four years ago.
Not the least of which the state in which the Vancouver pot activist was sentenced to five years in federal prison for dealing marijuana seeds has now legalized the sale of cannabis.
While Emery cooled his heels behind bars in Folkston, Ga., and Yazoo City, Miss., Colorado and then Washington became the first states to allow the possession, use, production, distribution and personal cultivation of marijuana. Some states have legalized its use for medical reasons. Another 15 states have decriminalized pot while other states have lowered penalties for possession of small amounts to a misdemeanour.
The tide to accept marijuana for recreational use on par with alcohol, complete with all the tax revenues their sale generates for governments, seems to be turning.
In Canada, possession of marijuana in any quantity remains illegal. Although enforcement varies from province to province, even between municipalities.
Vancouver police were unperturbed by the marijuana smoke that greeted Emery’s triumphant return to his hometown on Sunday.
Emery’s incarceration in the U.S. wasn’t his first brush with the law. Nor with irony.
When he operated a book shop in London, Ont., in the 1980s, he was charged with defying that province’s laws against stores operating on Sundays. Since 1992 stores in Ontario can open on Sundays.
In 1991 he was convicted of selling copies of rap CDs that had been deemed obscene and were banned in Ontario. As Nasty As They Wanna Be by 2 Live Crew can now be easily downloaded on iTunes.
It seems once again Emery is on the leading edge of a societal shift.

COMMENTIn Mr. Eckardt’s response
to the Mount Polley Mine tailing pond disaster (Let’s keep perspective, Letters, Aug. 13), he states we have learned it was preventable.
Then he goes on to say if negligence is proven then they must pay.
If it was preventable then there are only a few other options: 1) negligence, 2) sabotage, 3) cataclysmic event (earthquake).
The last two can most likely be ruled out. This being the case, then this company must pay for the restoration of the environment, estimated to be in the $100-200 million range. Considering they only have $12 million of insurance, where will the rest come from?
All of us most likely know the answer to this question: US, THE TAXPAYERS.
With this in mind, it is the duty of our government to come up with a regulatory mechanism that has teeth. In the last decade regulations have been relaxed for mining companies both federally and provincially. Having the owners of Polley Mine contributing over $450,000 to provincial Liberal election campaigns has ensured that these companies can self regulate, with the approval of the government. If no one in government is looking out for us then let’s take our hats off to the environmentalists who are forcing us to look at this situation.
Contrary to Mr. Eckardt’s belief that the environmentalists want to shut down the province and our way of living, this is not the case. Environmentalists
want a province that is sustainable for the environment, the people who live in it and the industry that exploits it. They do not want unfettered access and exploitation of the environment, with little regard to its safety and sustainability.
They want well regulated and ongoing enforcement of the laws and penalties that have bite. Mr. Eckardt’s, disdain and adversarial views of environmentalists does little to bridge the gap that must be closed between industry and the environmental movement.

LET’S KEEP PERSPECTIVE
I fail to understand why special interest groups continue to sensationalize the Mount Polley Mine incident. Yes, a dam failed and thousands of litres of water and mud knocked out a swath of trees and deposited them into Polley Lake. But the water was not toxic as many claim and, from my understanding, the mixture contains minimal amounts of naturally occurring minerals, metals, rock, sand, silt and mud.
Yes, the site looks horrendous. But it’s not unlike any other naturally occurring mud slide that happens regularly all over B.C. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured, and the water tests continue to confirm the water in the creeks and lakes is fit for human consumption and safe for fish.
Scientists also continue to confirm arsenic, mercury and lead levels fall well below the
maximum allowable limits for drinking water. Today, people are once again watching fish jump in the lake and can drink the water, and there is every reason to expect that in a year natural vegetation re-growth will render the incident almost undetectable.
Yes, we need to find out why this happened and do what we can to ensure it does not happen again. But I’m not going to let all the “anti-everything” alarmists out there continue to suggest we shut down an industry so many families rely on. Instead, let’s make it better.

A NEW RALLY CRYTime for a big celebration!
Just 100 years ago B.C. women in the Political Equality League took a petition signed by 10,000 citizens asking Premier Richard McBride to give women the vote. He refused.
Beware a woman scorned, and in this case the women got busy and organized the defeat of the premier and his friends, allowing the new premier, H.C. Brewster, to pass the necessary legislation allowing women to vote in December 1917.
Therefore, I propose we celebrate this momentous act by getting organized for our next provincial election and turf the wretches out (need I list all those actions hurting our children, our environment, our health and welfare).
Time to organize a political action committee and show the power of the vote.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERHeavily-armed police stand down after raiding a residence on Sixth Street near 13th Avenue on Thursday. They were executing a search warrant.
Burnaby RCMP has arrested two people and is seeking a third in connection with a major fraud investigation involving 200 victims.
In May, Burnaby RCMP launched the investigation after receiving a complaint of a suspicious purchase at a computer store at Metropolis at
Metrotown mall.Police allege one of
the suspects bought iPhones with someone else’s credit card then rented a vehicle with another identity.
The fraudulent incidents have been committed in Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Langley and Squamish,
Burnaby RCMP believe.
Through their investigation officers eventually executed a search warrant on a home in the 38000-block of Hemlock Avenue in Squamish. Police seized about 200 identities including credit cards, B.C. driver’s licences and photo identity cards (BCID), cheques, wills, firearm licences, immigration papers and utility documents. Police believe personal mail was being stolen from homes and mailboxes.
Shawn Lundrigan, 33, and Kimberly McSweeney, 22, both of Squamish face multiple counts of fraud and identity theft. Burnaby RCMP are also seeking a third man, Paul Hebert, 38, of no-fixed address. He’s wanted for one count of identity theft and two counts of fraud.
Anyone who sees Hebert or knows his whereabouts is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or text BCTIP at CRIMES (274637).
Burnaby RCMP remind people to keep an eye on credit card histories and bank statements. For more information on preventing identity theft using mail, visit: http://bit.ly/1tglaqL/.

The Burnaby Lakers’ playoffs came to an abrupt end Saturday.
The Maple Ridge Burrards defeated the visiting Lakers 10-8 to take their best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series 4-2.
The defeat came despite the Lakers finishing second in the regular season while the Burrards were third.
Maple Ridge advanced to the WLA final against first-place Victoria. The Shamrocks swept the New Westminster Salmonbellies in four games.
A 13-minute stretch spanning the late second period and early third proved to be the Lakers undoing Saturday.
During that span the Burrards scored six of seven goals to go ahead 10-6 with 13:18 left.
Robert Church had two goals and three assists for Burnaby, Scott Jones had two of each, and Dane Jackson had a goal and five assists. Other Laker scorers were Tyler Digby, Casey Jackson and Shaun Dhaliwal.
Both teams had 37 shots on goal with Tyler Richards taking
the loss for Burnaby making 27 saves.
Burnaby won the first game in the series,
but Maple Ridge came back with two consecutive
victories to take the lead. Burnaby tied it 2-2 in Game 4 before the Burrards prevailed in the final two games.

Parents look to structured activities to get their kids moving, but shouldn’t forget the value of free, unstructured play.
The before-, during- and after-school periods are opportune times for spontaneous, outdoor play and getting to and from places
on foot. For back-to-school, ParticipACTION has provided parents with backpack must-haves for staying active all day.
“Sport leagues, programs and school activities are essential, valuable components of getting our kids to more active, but kids need to do more than that,
and more often,” says Elio Antunes, president and CEO of ParticipACTION.
“Our kids are missing out on opportunities for spontaneous movement—such as getting to places on foot and playing freely outdoors. So, let’s pack our kids’ backpacks for active play!”

A man who has been on the RCMP’s most-wanted list for more than three years in connection with a murder plot against the Bacon brothers, as well as the killing of a rival gang member and the slaying of an innocent man on Kingsway in Burnaby, has been arrested in Mexico.
Cory Vallee, 37, was arrested in Guadalajara last Thursday, and was returned to Canada on Sunday. Canada-wide warrants had been issued in January
2011 for Vallee and co-accused Conor D’Monte, members of the UN Gang, after they were charged with the first-degree murder of Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford and for conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers and their associates.
D’Monte remains at large. Vallee was also charged
with the May 2008 murder of innocent man Jonathan Barber of Langley and the attempted murder of Barber’s girlfriend.
Barber, a stereo installer, was
driving a Porsche Cayenne SUV – owned by the Bacons – to have a stereo system equipped when he was the victim of a drive-by shooting in Burnaby. His girlfriend, who was driving in a vehicle behind him at the time, was injured. At the time the warrant was issued for Vallee’s arrest, RCMP said he might still have connections to Florida, where he grew up, and that he was associated to a drug network in Mexico.

North Vancouver’s Mike Little will represent the Conservatives in the new riding of Burnaby North-Seymour in the next federal election.
Little, a three-term councillor for North Vancouver District, was announced as the party’s candidate in a press release Monday.
“We are thrilled to have Mike as our candidate,” said Burnaby North-Seymour Electoral District Association president Ariane Eckardt. “Mike brings a tremendous amount of experience to this position and he will make a great Member of Parliament.”
Little was first elected as councillor in 2005 and has focused on accessibility issues for seniors and persons with disabilities. He has also served as the liaison to North Shore Rescue and the North Shore Emergency Management Office.
When not serving on council, he works for his family business exporting finished B.C. lumber to China, Korea, and Japan. He has lived in the riding all his life and is married with four children.
The next federal election will take place in October 2015 or earlier. Terry Beech has been chosen as the Liberal candidate, while the New Democrats have two people who have declared plans to run for that party’s nomination, Trevor Ritchie and Michael Charrois.
“The NDP, Liberals and Conservatives can all win this seat,” said Little. “I will work hard to earn every vote.”
