Burnaby school on hit list

A Burnaby school was on the hit list of Angus David Mitchell, who was killed in a shootout with police last week, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

Mitchell was the prime suspect in the double murder at Royal Oak Sushi House and the attempted murder of his former landlord, both in Burnaby.

On Wednesday, a day after revealing Mitchell had the makings of a hit list of six people and six businesses in his minivan, IHIT revealed more details.

While the names of individuals and businesses will not be released, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound in a press release, they have been broken down by municipality.

In Burnaby, he planned to target one restaurant, an individual and a school. In New Westminster, there was one person on his list.

Surrey had the most targets, with ve—a group home,

a restaurant, a gym, a school and one individual. A White Rock security business was also on the former security guard’s list.

In Vancouver, Mitchell was targeting a coffee house and one person. In Coquitlam, it was one person and a landscaping business. In Port Coquitlam, it was one individual.

It’s perhaps tting that Burnaby Central secondary’s lipdub video project (http://bit.ly/JMqYmh) started out as two small groups of students with the same idea banding together to make it happen.

The result was the rst such project at a Burnaby school, one which helped bond together 1,000 students and teachers during their rst year in a new building.

A lipdub is a music video in which participants lipsynch to a song while the camera captures the entire thing in one continuous take, or at least appears to.

Grade 12 Central student Ryan Hirakida, 18, director of the project, said he and members of the school’s student council thought of doing one after seeing the impressive effort by University of British Columbia students. That lipdub (http://bit.ly/eo1NWl) has so far had 1.7 million views on YouTube since rst being posted about a year ago.

Central’s project got off the ground

last fall when a couple of students from the school’s media class approached Hirakida with the idea to see if there were any student council resources available.

“The main focus of ours was just to bring the school together,” he said. “We know it was a brand-new school and we wanted to showcase the building a little bit and also create that sense of belonging to the school, I guess. It felt like we were just students in a brand-new building that didn’t feel connected yet.”

Planning culminated in two days of shooting, the rst for three-and-a-half

hours after school and the second, which included all the teachers, for one hour during school time.

It took some explaining what a lipdub is, Hirakida said, but ultimately, people responded to the call to “wear your craziest out t and just show up.” Hence, the dinosaur and Rubik’s cube costumes.

One of the biggest challenges was managing such a large group of people, 200 in the main part of the video and over 1,000 during the bit at the end which was shot in the main commons area.

Central ‘lipdub’ creates school bondingMARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

Ryan Hirakida directed a lip dub video to help build community at Burnaby Central secondary when staff and students moved into the new building.

Top B.C. student in auto body work a year after not graduating in Grade 12 yearWanda [email protected]

Suf ce it to say, Jaret Collett is not the academic sort.

After his family moved to Coquitlam three years ago, Jaret dragged himself to classes at Burnaby North secondary which he continued to attend, earning mediocre grades.

It wasn’t just the commute by transit that was painful, he simply didn’t like school.

“I didn’t really enjoy sitting behind a desk all day long and doing classes that didn’t really interest me,” said Jaret, now 18.

A year ago, at the end of his Grade 12 year, it was clear he’d be a few credits short of graduating.

That’s when the staff at Burnaby school district’s School to Work program got involved.

Each year, the program helps about 120 Burnaby students, those too young to tap into adult and continuing education programs, to transition from high school to careers or post-secondary education, said School to Work’s David Le Blanc.

In Jaret’s case, it was simply a matter of pointing him towards his passion—cars.

He enrolled in the district’s ACE-IT program, earning graduation credits while also training to become an apprentice in auto collision repair at Vancouver Community College (VCC).

For the past year, Jaret has been getting up every day at 4:30 or 5 a.m. to get to VCC in east Vancouver on time. Usually, he’s there by 7:15 a.m. at the latest.

His rst class doesn’t start until 8 a.m.Proud mom Ilona Collett has seen her son

transformed. In addition to earning top marks, every day

he brings home photos of the projects he’s worked on and can’t stop talking about what he’s excited to be learning and doing. That never happened in his regular high school years.

“It’s amazing to see him in his element,” she said.

That passion paid off in April when his VCC instructors chose him to compete at the Skills BC Competition held in Abbotsford. He won the gold medal in the auto body repair category and was momentarily stunned at the result.

“I was sort of like, really?” Jaret recalled with a laugh.

That took him to Edmonton where he represented B.C. at the Skills Canada Competition, competing against older and more experienced students. He doesn’t know how he placed in the end but, with only six competitors, that puts him in the top six in Canada.

Jaret is looking forward to returning to the nationals next year and doing better, as well as attending the international-level

competition, which is held every two years.In the meantime, he’s working on getting

his driver’s licence so he can accept a job offer at a Craftsman Collision shop in Abbotsford.

It’s a long way to go, he admits, but the owner was so impressed by Jaret’s

work at the Skills BC competition he offered him a chance to apprentice under a 30-year veteran wanting to pass on his experience before he retires.

And then there’s June 27 when Jaret will be crossing the stage at his high school graduation ceremony at Michael J. Fox Theatre.

“We’re going to be loud,” said Ilona with a laugh. “I’m so proud it’s ridiculous.”

“I think we underestimated the size of that task ... It was de nitely a lot more work than any of us could have imagined,” he said with a laugh of the 20-member committee that oversaw the project.

There were four sections to the video, almost seamlessly stitched together, and each section required seven or eight takes.

“What you see on the screen is de nitely a lot less hectic than the actual day of lming.”

Since it’s been posted to YouTube, Central’s lipdub has had more than 11,500 views.

After sending the web link to the students, they passed it on to their parents, grandparents and other relatives. Comments have even started coming in from Central alumni.

The project was entered into the lm festival put on by Burnaby’s District Student Advisory Council in April where it won for best picture.

Already Hirakida has heard of other Burnaby schools following their lead, with Burnaby North’s effort already in production and Alpha in the planning stages.

Central principal Garth Errico said the lipdub has brought a lot of pride to the school and showcased all parts of the new building to people both inside and outside the school, as well as its teams, clubs and cultural diversity.

“It’s paid huge dividends in terms of relationships between students and staff,” Errico said.

As for Hirakida, he sees it as a legacy project.

“Just having that one video on YouTube, it’ll be a permanent thing that people can look back to, ve, 10 years down the road and still feel that connectedness to the school and the people that they were with. I think just to do that alone is more than we could have asked for.”

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERJaret Collett was a few credits shy of graduating high school in his Grade 12 year when he discovered his passion for auto body repair. Now he’s getting ready to graduate and he won a gold medal at a provincial skills competition. He also applied a lot of what he learned to xing up his own truck.

A Maple Ridge woman who called police last Wednesday after spotting the van of a man wanted for murder in Burnaby is being credited for preventing more deaths.

Susanne Murphy was driving to a dike in Maple Ridge at the end of 216th Street to walk her dog Tuco when she heard a warning over the radio asking people to call 911 if they saw Angus Mitchell’s green van.

Police were hunting Mitchell after he was believed to have killed two people inside the Royal Oak Sushi House in Burnaby on May 27, then shot and injured his former landlord, also in Burnaby, on May 29.

“IHIT investigators have examined evidence which clearly indicates Mitchell had plans to target six business and six individuals in total,” Insp. Kevin Hackett, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said at a press conference Tuesday.

Mitchell’s former landlord and the woman killed in the Sushi restaurant, Chinh Diem Huynh, were the rst targets on his list.

The owner of the sushi restaurant, Andy Tran, who was also killed, was not on Mitchell’s list.

Had Mitchell not been found, Hackett added, the death toll would have been higher.

“The possible intended target locations and speci c individuals have been interviewed by members of our team,” he said. “Investigators are continuing to search for a motive but we are not con dent we will nd one that would make any sense.

“Of one thing we are certain: had he not been located when he was, the potential for additional loss of life was extreme.”

That day, as Murphy approached the end of 216th Street in Maple Ridge, where the pavement ends, she noticed Mitchell’s distinct green mini-van parked by the side of the road. The plates on the van matched the description broadcast over the radio.

Shaking and struggling

to pull her cellphone out of her pocket, Murphy stopped in the dike parking lot and called 911.

“I was kind of scared,” Murphy said at a press conference where police thanked her for making the phone call.

“I had no idea if he was in the area or if he was in the van.”

Police kept Murphy on the phone for an hour and asked her to keep other dog walkers from leaving the area, while Ridge Meadows RCMP blocked off roads and mustered the emergency response team.

More than 20 of cers surrounded Mitchell, who refused to leave his car to cooperate with police. Mitchell, 26, was shot after he opened re on police. He died in hospital.

Murphy says she didn’t think twice about calling 911.

“I know that some people hesitate or they don’t want to get involved,” she said.

“I didn’t even hesitate. I just dialed. I knew I was doing the right thing.”

Police are now crediting Murphy and the quick actions

of Ridge Meadows RCMP for stopping Mitchell’s murderous spree.

IHIT found Mitchell’s hit list in his green van and revealed it included information on businesses and individuals located in seven jurisdictions throughout the Lower Mainland.

The information found included addresses, names of the people he was targeting and possible entrances and exits from each of the buildings.

“He had a plan,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, a spokesperson for IHIT.

“Had he not been stopped, we don’t know how many people would have been fatally targeted.”

The rearm seized from Mitchell by Victoria Police in February “has not been de nitively identi ed as the rearm used in the Burnaby

shootings,” said Pound in an email to media. “While we can say it appears to be the same type of rearm investigators will not be able to con rm this information until Vancouver Police have completed their review.”

I have been on quite a trip with my cousin these past few months.

She is actually not really my cousin.

She was adopted, which has been the focus of this journey. Thora is 59 and was adopted at birth – presumably the child of a teenage pregnancy in the ’50s when it was unheard of for young moms to keep their babies.

When the red tape around adoption les was loosened a few years ago, I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.

I was visualizing a total stranger walking up to the door of his or her birth mom and saying, “Hi. I’m your daughter (or son)!”

I also wondered how the adoptive parents would feel.

Would they say “Now, after we’ve raised you, you don’t want us to be your parents anymore?”

Happily, I discovered that the government has more common sense than I had given them credit for.

By watching my cousin start her search, I learned that while information about birth parents and adopted children is available, there is a procedure for acquiring it.

Details aren’t just handed out willy-nilly.

Thora lived a happy, normal life. She was adopted by a loving family that was comprised of many aunts, uncles and cousins, and while she knew she was adopted, she never gave it much thought.

In her early teens, she discovered she had a lovely singing voice, was a natural on the guitar and liked to write her own music. Once in a while, she would wonder where this talent came from, but the curiosity was eeting.

When Thora reached her late 40s, she and her husband received the devastating news that she had developed Parkinson’s disease, a turn of events that really got her wondering about her biological background.

However, she hesitated to start the search. She did not want to hurt

her family’s feelings, but she was starting to get anxious about it. She felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster. To search or not to search?

In August 2011, after both her adoptive parents had passed away, she took the plunge.

The process involved contacting Vital Statistics, receiving her birth mother’s name, then contacting the Adoption Reunion Society to request an active search.

Three months later, Thora was a bundle of nerves, having heard nothing and worrying about “who” she would discover and what the rest of the family would think. It turned out the rest of the family was 100 per cent behind her on this.

In February 2012, word came. The Adoption Reunion Society reported they had located a woman who is also the daughter of Thora’s birth mother.

Would she like them to contact that person to receive permission to pass on her information? This is where I started to feel OK about the system.

They don’t give “searchers” personal information about family

members they have located. It all has to go through proper privacy channels.

Within a week, Thora, who by this time was beside herself with excitement, had spoken with and emailed her new “sister.” She learned there is music in their family but no Parkinson’s disease; there are three other half-sisters and there was a baby brother who died in infancy. Their mom had passed away 17 years ago.

The rst sister contacted lives in L.A. but used to live in Vancouver’s West End along with another sister who still lives in Vancouver. One is on Vancouver Island. One is in Alberta. The four women in Canada have met, hugged, cried, laughed and amazed each other with their similarities. The sister in L.A. has shared all this over Skype, email and telephone. A meeting was planned to happen, after this column was written.

It’s grad season. High school seniors in Burnaby

and New Westminster are in the nal days of their formative education before moving on to post secondary studies, perhaps travel or maybe the work world.

Simon Fraser University, BCIT and Douglas College are holding grand ceremonies to bestow degrees and diplomas.

It’s a time of transition for students, as they emerge from the schools, teachers and friends they’ve known for so many years and step into new worlds, with new challenges, new demands.

It’s a time for them to re ect on what they’ve accomplished and to begin charting the path for the next phase of their lives.

The only thing certain is the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

Economies in North America and Europe are sputtering.

The booms in China and India have quieted.

Unemployment is up, wages are down, the social safety net is slowly unraveling as governments around the world can no longer sustain the cost of helping their citizens through tough times, or into retirement.

Some experts say we’re on the brink of a global recession.

But none of that will dull the gleaming smiles of those grads as they march up the aisle to receive their parchment, or diminish their pride of accomplishment.

After all, every generation of grads seems to have challenges to face, whether it’s the rising cost of education, changing technology, diminishing job markets, in ation, de ation, debt, sometimes even war.

Somehow, they persevere. Many thrive.

Most will become upstanding citizens, carving out their little corner of the world.

Some will become leaders, improving everyone’s world.

For that we thank them all, and invite them into the world with open arms.

COMMENT EMAIL [email protected]

The poet Kahlil Gibran once wrote that “…when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also.” The decade-long violation of the teachers’ charter rights is a vivid breakage in the cloth of our educational system, but have we taken a careful look at the loom?

Did teachers have any signi cant autonomy to begin with? They aren’t allowed to talk about it, but as things stand, teachers are constrained in many fundamental ways—almost like cogs operating in an oppressive machine. Besides being reliant upon the caprice of ideological politicians, as we have seen, teachers are obliged to impose the arbitrary scholastic agenda of the ministry on their students. For example, teachers are reluctantly administering the sadistic and punishing rigmarole of compulsory memorization, assignments, testing and grading.

It is enough to read the articles in the BCTF magazine, or to speak with a member privately, in order to imagine how wonderful our schools would be if the relevant staff were

self-managing their own affairs and workplace, as well as the educational resources of the government. The youth of Metro Vancouver would be among the most enlightened and cultured in the world, their schools as free and non-coercive as Tolstoy’s Yasnaya Polyana or Ferrer’s Modern School, and generations to come wouldn’t be conditioned to fear books and owers!

Vinoba Bhave, a teacher and close friend of Mahatma Gandhi, once wrote that “[t]he work of education should be in the hands of men of wisdom, but governments have got it in their grasp...”

The civil liberties of our teachers are under attack, so why aren’t we taking a look at the loom? The colour of its thread?

TOO DANGEROUSRe: First phase of new Willingdon interchange complete

Yet the crazies coming off the highway from the west are still cutting across three lanes to turn

left on Canada Way. It’s actually more dangerous now because there is a shorter merging area. I drive over the overpass four times a day from north to south Burnaby, and it’s like taking my life in my

hands each time at that spot. This part needs xing ASAP before someone gets killed.

Jennifer Baumbusch

•••••

Jennifer, if you look at the construction diagram on the Port Mann/Highway 1 project website (www.pmh1project.com) it shows what the temporary overpass will look like in the next few weeks, including the new traf c light that has yet to be installed and will prevent the current cutting across lanes.

Jonathan Dotto—online comment


A BETTER DESIGNBefore the exit design and

location was even considered and decided upon at Highway 1 and Canada Way, I made a simple, safer suggestion as to how to effect an egress from this

location. It was ignored.Consider and please visualise the

exit as I proposed.The south, east and/or westbound

traf c from Vancouver or the North

Shore would travel two blocks east of (under) Willingdon Avenue, to Beta Avenue, on land owned by the province and turn right onto Beta Avenue and stop at Canada Way lights (beside BCAA).

Drivers would then turn left to the east, right to the west (aka Willingdon) or westbound on Canada Way.

I am only thinking of the lives saved and enhanced safety this simple roadwork design would have provided us all.

Metro Vancouver’s proposed waste-to-energy project may end up being privately nanced if the regional district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a private-public partnership is approved.

The application for P3 Canada funding has split directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the money to build the $2-billion rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly nanced.

FAVOURABLE INTEREST RATES

She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority.

“I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson

said. “But nance I think is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.”

P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a design-build role but also one of either operating, maintaining or nancing it.

Metro’s application proposes a design-build- nance-operate P3, because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding.

NOT BOUND TO MODEL

Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported the decision, saying Metro won’t yet be bound to that model and could revise it later.

Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners.

But Walton said the region had to apply by June 15 to have a shot at a grant.

“My view is you keep all those doors open going forward,” he said.

The P3 Canada fund is to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25 per cent of a project’s capital cost.

Metro’s current waste-to-energy plant in south Burnaby was developed as a design-build-operate P3, with the region nancing it and retaining ownership.

STUDIES AND CONSULTATION

Metro Vancouver still must carry out extensive studies and consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District, where there are concerns a new incinerator would worsen air quality in the constrained airshed.

Metro is also far from deciding where a new waste-to-energy plant might be built and whether it uses conventional incineration or some alternative technology.

The region downsized the plan earlier this year, estimating it now needs extra disposal capacity of 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes per year – down from 500,000 to 600,000 – in light of declining garbage volumes.

The Metro application will have at least one more local competitor for the same pool of federal money.

The City of Surrey is also applying to the P3 Canada fund to help nance an organic biofuels plant it plans to build to serve the region at Metro’s Port Kells transfer station.

A new waste-to-energy incinerator in Metro Vancouver, like this one in Burnaby, could be privately nanced.

TransLink is accused of wasting more than $523,000 in 2009 to put up 13 video screens at SkyTrain station entrances that now mostly do not work.

The LCD monitors and networked content players cost more than $40,000 each, according to the results of a Freedom of Information request led by the Canadian Taxpayers

Federation (CTF).The video screens were to

communicate SkyTrain system emergencies, closures and other information to transit riders, ending the practice of staff scrawling messages on sandwich boards outside stations.

“Any way you slice it, $40,000 for a TV screen in this day and age is mind-boggling waste,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director.

He said the only working screens were at Stadium Station when he recently checked them,

while those at Scott Road, Edmonds and Commercial-Broadway had vanished and ones at Lougheed were there but not operating.

TransLink records show the Scott Road screens were damaged by vandals while others were of ine as of August 2011 due to various technical failures.

Three quarters of the money for the Station Entrance Emergency Information Panel (SEEIP) project came from a $391,000 federal Transit-Secure grant.

But Bateman said it was not good use of money earmarked to improve safety and security, regardless of whether taxpayers paid for it via the federal government or through TransLink.

The video screens at the entrances to the ve stations are different from the more than 160 screens on all SkyTrain and Canada Line station platforms that can also transmit urgent messages.

Those were installed by TransLink’s advertising contractor at their cost and TransLink receives a share of the advertising revenue.

“The taxpayers didn’t have to pay a dime for that,” said Byron Montgomery, general manager for Lamar Transit Advertising.

Asked whether TransLink had tried to partner with Lamar on the station entrance screens, which were installed around the same time, he said they were separate initiatives.

Bateman said sandwich board messages may not be elegant but they work.

He said it’s harder for passengers at a station entrance that has been closed due to a problem to peer through a grille at a video monitor inside.

TransLink of cials said several of the out-of-service monitors are either being repaired or are temporarily covered up because of station renovations.

“This was put in as a safety measure,” TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin said.

He said plans to add more of the station entrance video screens in 2013 are under review, adding TransLink now makes much greater use of social media in communicating with passengers than it did four years ago.

The Burnaby Lakers knocked the New Westminster Salmonbellies from the ranks of the undefeated with a 15-11 victory at Bill Copeland Arena on Friday.

The Lakers shocked the Salmonbellies with ve rst period goals and added another in the second before New West hit the scoresheet to give both teams a 3-1 record in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

Burnaby goalie Joe Bell made 19 saves in gaining a bit of revenge on his former team.

Scott Jones led the Lakers’ attack with three goals and three assists. Matt Beers, Scott Tinning and Shaun Dhaliwal scored two each with singles going to Chase Williams, Justin Salt, Dane Stevens, Casey Jackson and Matt Quinton. Jackson also added four assists while Quinton had three.

Jeff Zywicki had a big game for New West despite the loss with four goals and three assists. Alex Gajic and Sean Robinson both had three goals and two assists for the Salmonbellies. Mike Berekoff had New West’s other goal.

The Lakers were in Langley to play the Thunder (2-2) on Wednesday, and will take on the Maple Ridge Burrards (0-5) tonight (Friday) starting at 7:45. They will be in Nanaimo Sunday to take on the Timbermen (2-3).

The Salmonbellies played host to the Thunder on Thursday, and will be in Coquitlam to play the Adanacs (1-3) Saturday.

way too late for the Burnaby Jr. Lakers as they fell 12-6 to the visiting Langley Thunder at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday.

With the loss the Lakers record in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League fell to 2-7.

Ryan Watson scored three times, Josh Simons twice and Jaeden Gastaldo once for Burnaby.

This month the Deer Lake Gallery features the work of Silke Spodzeija.

A designer/art director who decided to become a stay-at-home parent, Spodzeija’s work is unashamedly self-expressive.

At rst glance the lovely colour elds seem to be purely decorative and could easily be featured in a contemporary room in a home decorating magazine. Many borrow a device used in Japanese sumi painting in which a large space is populated with a small highly- detailed image in one corner of the eld.

The images are often nests, some lled with eggs, others with images of people such as a child in a dunce cap.

The darker overtones document the artist dealing with issues of childhood from the point of view of the artist as mother to the artist as child in an unsettling painting with a white-washed image of the artist’s own mother.

My personal favourite is the enigmatic Lost in the Fog or as I call it, Red Couch with Blue Heron where the heron is perched on the back of the couch as it dissolves into the canvas.

The artist claims this painting documents thoughts about the environment but I think it works on a number of different levels, as it should.

The show, entitled Between Views & Hues will be up from June 1-24. Deer Lake Gallery is located at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is generally open from noon-4 p.m. every day except Mondays. The artist will be in attendance on Sunday, June 10, for an informal artist talk.

Metro Vancouver mayors had no legal leg to stand on in April when they voted to rescind a property tax increase for TransLink that was originally passed last fall as a backup measure to nance transit expansion.

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly made that point in a recent Mayors Council meeting, saying he could not allow the perception to remain that mayors could at any time revoke a legally binding supplement they previously approved.

“In my view the resolution that was

passed has no legal force,” Crilly said in an interview. “I believe TransLink is obliged to deliver the services, projects and programs that were approved in the 2012 Moving Forward plan.”

TransLink could not reasonably make plans if its funding sources were not binding and Crilly said he would never have let the mayors vote on the supplement if they could later change their minds and reverse it.

The mayors’ April 12 vote to cancel the $30 million property tax led TransLink to freeze several expansion projects, including the planned Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King

George Highway in Surrey.

The decisions came after the province refused to grant new funding sources for TransLink.

But Crilly’s view that the retraction is not valid does not necessarily mean the tax hike and the bus service upgrades are back on again.

TransLink of cials, acting in line with the mayors’ intent, have indicated they could draw up a revised supplement that replaces the existing one – eliminating the $23 property tax increase per average home over the next two years as well as projects that can’t be funded by other means.

The original supplement approved the two-cent gas tax hike in April and the property

tax hike was to kick in only if the province and mayors failed to agree on a new TransLink funding source, which is what happened.

Crilly, however, said he’s still not sure how the property tax can legally be unwound.

“There is no reverse gear,” he said, noting that funding increases that mayors approve in a supplement become locked into TransLink’s base plan (over which mayors have no vote) for future years.

But at the same time, Crilly said he hasn’t found any enforcement mechanism in the legislation that could compel TransLink to raise its property tax, as authorized, to deliver the promised services.

One way out of the problem would be if renewed talks between the mayors and the province authorize a new funding source, such as the proposed vehicle levy shot down by the premier this spring.

Barring a breakthrough there, auditors dispatched by the province would have to nd large amounts of savings within TransLink, avoiding the need for the tax.

TransLink must craft any new plan it will take to the mayors by Nov. 1.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who wants the Highway 1 RapidBus to go ahead, said he’s willing to wait to see what the auditors uncover this summer.

But in the absence of a nancial miracle, he said TransLink must proceed with its original plan, backstopped by the tax hike.

“If there are no sources of funding I feel very strongly that they need to go back to the original supplement, and use the property tax to carry on with the expansion plan, including the RapidBus in Langley.”

Mayors’ retraction of property tax not legal: CommissionerCommitment to add express bus routes still in limbo

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is plugging a loophole that has prompted hundreds of people to claim they are giving away vehicles to friends or “acquaintances” rather than pay sales tax on the transaction.

When it adopted the harmonized sales tax in 2010, the B.C. government increased its separate tax on private sales of cars, boats and other vehicles from seven per cent to 12.

The federal goods and services tax doesn’t apply to private sales, and the B.C. government said it wanted to level the playing eld between private sales and used cars purchased from dealers.

The jump in the tax rate appears to have made a chronic tax evasion problem worse, as sales of even high-end cars have become popular to give away, at least on paper.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the new provincial sales tax legislation

speci es that vehicle gifts can only be given to a genuine relative or a registered charity.

“Clearly we’ve had a situation in British Columbia where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles,” Falcon said.

“Either you accept that explanation or you just believe that people have become extraordinarily generous in British Columbia in giving away their high-end vehicles, including Mercedes,

Porsches and BMWs, to individuals who they are not acquainted with but they are describing as friends or best friends or acquaintances.”

Falcon estimated the tax dodge has been costing the B.C. treasury “tens of millions” each year.

An effort to tighten up the gift process last year by replacing a letter declaring the vehicle is a gift with a detailed form for buyers and sellers didn’t relieve the problem, he said.

The B.C. sales tax on privately sold vehicles is called the “Tax on Designated Property,” and it applies to aircraft and boats as well as cars and trucks.

Loophole plugged for B.C. ‘gift’ cars

Kevin Falcon, BC Finance MinisterClearly we’ve had a situation in British Columbia where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles.

CHOICEquotes

The B.C. government is spending $22.2 million to fund 190 new nurse practitioner positions around the province over the next three years.

B.C. established nurse practitioner training in 2005, with a master’s degree program that allows registered nurses to take on many of the functions traditionally reserved for doctors. The health ministry

says there are currently 225 nurse practitioners registered with the College of Registered Nurses of B.C., but 72 are not working in that capacity and another 30 are graduating from the program this year. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the new program is designed to close that gap. The positions are seen as important in shifting the health care system

from an acute care model to a preventive and chronic care model that better matches the actual demand and B.C.’s aging population. Government passed legislation in 2011 to allow nurse practitioners to provide their full scope of practice, including diagnosis, prescribing drugs, ordering tests and treating common medical conditions.

TRANSMISSION PROJECTBURNABY TO NEW WESTMINSTER

Early June to Fall 2012

The Burnaby to New Westminster Transmission Project will help meet the growing demand for electricity in the New Westminster area.

A new 2.8 kilometre, 60 kilovolt underground transmission circuit will connect New Westminster Substation to an existing transmission line located near Lakefield Drive in a right-of-way close to Robert Burnaby Park. Three cable vaults will also be installed along the route.

Construction will begin in early June and is expected to be finished in Fall 2012. Planned hours of work are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Temporary lane or street closures may be required in work zones. Traffic management staff will be in place as needed to safely direct traffic and pedestrians.

For more information, please visit bchydro.com/new_westminster or contact BC Hydro Stakeholder Relations at 604 623 4472 or by email at [email protected]

Come see the emerging talent at the Opera for a Sunday Afternoon Concert Series at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on June 24.

The show is being brought to the stage by the Burnaby Lyric Opera, a non-pro t society that gives emerging professional opera singers opportunities to advance their careers.

“Our mandate is to give opportunity to young opera singers on the threshold of their careers to sing leading roles,” said LindaMarie James, president of Burnaby Lyric Opera.

Vincenzo Bellini’s opera I Capuleti e I Montecchi, the Italian version of Romeo and Juliet, will be one of the features, with Burnaby resident Chloe Hurst playing the part of Juliet.

Hurst had starred in many opera productions such as Elixir of Love, La Bohème, Hansel and Gretel and Werther.

The 26-year-old soprano said learning to play the role of Juliet was “challenging at times” because she wants to make the dramatic piece feel appropriate when playing such a young character.

“Personally it’s been interesting to explore the character of Juliet because she’s very young, and in our modern day we’re not used to hearing about people falling in love at the age of 13,” Hurst said.

Hurst wasn’t always bound for a music career. After high school, she had planned to study art, but in

the summer before classes she attended the UBC music camp and was hand-picked by the director who asked her “’What are you doing next year?’”

Hurst auditioned and made the jump into the voice program.

“Opera is such a unique art form it kind of involves everything because you have the music and you have the

text, which is called the libretto, and you have the visual as well,” Hurst said.

“The stories are so passionate.”While training for her role as Juliet, Hurst continues

to teach voice and piano at the Vancouver Academy of Music.

“It’s so nice to see a composer’s interpretation of such a well-known play and how the music brings out the emotion in the text,” Hurst said.

“I just really enjoy how all those aspects bring a work to life.”

The concert will take place at 6450 Deer Lake Avenue from 3 to 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door or online at www.shadboltcentre.com. For more information call 604-291-6864.

Business proposal for fake gun battles dies with a splatJeff [email protected]

A proposal to let gun-toting camou aged paintball players run amok in regional parks has been shot down by Metro Vancouver as too warlike and an inappropriate use of public land.

Most members of Metro’s environment and parks committee said they couldn’t support the request from an unnamed company, even though it would have brought in some rental income.

“You’re trying to shoot somebody in the chest or in the head,” Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said of the extreme sport where players dressed as soldiers re guns loaded with paint pellets.

“It’s absolutely not the kind of value we should be promoting.”

Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, the committee’s chair, said she loves paintball but said a large section of a regional park would have to be fenced and screened from other users, effectively making it off-limits to them.

“What it’s actually doing is simulating going out and killing someone,” said Port Coquitlam Coun. Darrell Penner. “To me, it’s not appropriate for a public park.”

But Richmond Coun. Harold Steves and Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin voted against the motion rejecting the concept, saying they wanted staff to at least consider what areas might be appropriate and test how much revenue might come in.

Steves likened paintball to the wholesome capture-the- ag game played outdoors at camps in his childhood.

“The whole idea that this is wrong is just a perception about people with weapons,” he said..

“I’m not saying paintball is the right t for our parks,” Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin said. “I don’t know. We haven’t seen the proposal.”

She dismissed concerns that paintball players leaving a park with unspent ammunition might go on to vandalize the surrounding neighbourhood.

Metro staff did not say what park or parks had been suggested for the activity.

A staff report warned it might generate con ict with other nature-loving park visitors over the use of mock weapons, vegetation might be trampled and paint splatters or spent pellets might deface trees and the landscape.

Visitors or neighbours might even mistake the pretend soldiers and their guns for the real thing, it said.

The report concluded the disadvantages outweighed the bene ts of increased park visits, promoting more active recreation and “modest” rent fees that would be charged to operators.

Metro shoots down paintball in regional parks

Although allowing people to run around regional parks with fake guns would bring revenue, Metro Vancouver now feels that allowing paintball might not be a good idea.

OUR DOORS ARE NOW OPEN


The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 10, sponsored by FortisBC.

Starting at 10 a.m., the public will be able to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, North Vancouver, Surrey and Vancouver.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own

renovations.”The renovated homes include a 1950s

bungalow, a 1920s heritage home, a bathroom makeover, a basement suite conversion, a wide-ranging interior and exterior renovation and a whole-house transformation.

Admission is $10 for adults, and free for children 17 and under. A passport allowing you entrance into every home will be available at the homes.

The homes will be open until 4 p.m., and it is recommended to map out your route as the homes will not be available for showings before or after the event.

To find the list of participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org.

European-inspired architecture comes to Richmond with Concord Pacific’s newest development, Omega.

“(In) the Greek alphabet ‘Omega’ is often used to symbolize greatness and the ultimate,” says Concord Vice-President of Marketing Grace Man. “Omega, with its superior construction and refined design details, will raise the bar of similar medium-density projects and become the ultimate low-rise development.”

With 245 one- and two-bedroom suites in two buildings, Omega has something for everyone, though Man says the one-bedroom plus study suites are already sold out. The homes range from 546 to 1,042 square feet.

The entire development has a European feel, with a lush central courtyard, water features, stone pathways and a children’s play area.

“The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Man. “It emphasizes on a symmetrical form and (is) set in a 20,000 square-foot lush, green garden. The lit pathways, water features and secluded courtyard seating provide a soothing and tranquil environment.”

Inside, the condominums include nine-foot ceilings in most of the living areas and a central heating and cooling system. There is an open balcony or terrace with each suite, and wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living area and flex space (depending on the floorplan) is complemented by your choice of two colour schemes – Impression and Reflection.

The kitchens have plenty of

thoughtful little touches, from the soft-close hardware on the doors to the waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the sink. The engineered quartz stone countertops and large-format porcelain tile backsplash combine to make for an elegant picture with the stainless-steel appliances, while the laminate cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet lighting becomes the cherry on the top of this perfect kitchen sundae.

Those little touches continue in the bathrooms, with their engineered quartz stone countertops and a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting. The recessed pot lighting is universally flattering, while

the elegant large-format porcelain tile flooring continues on the tub/shower surround.

A unique feature of Omega is the thicker concrete floor slab and triple-glazed windows that are an integral part of every home. The floors feature more insulation and a thicker cement platform between the floors, which combine to make for an improved building structure. The triple-glazed windows help to isolate exterior sound, so you won’t be bothered by the bustling city noise. Both of these things are demonstrated at the Concord sales centre in Richmond. Guests are invited to jump on the floor to feel

the difference between the standard concrete floors and the Omega floors, and check out the difference in sound that the triple-glazing offers, in comparison to a standard window.

If it’s convenience you’re looking for, Omega is certainly the place for you. Located in the heart of Richmond, you are just minutes away from transit, shopping, restaurants, recreation and education. The Vancouver International Airport is about 10 minutes from home, and downtown Vancouver is less than 20 minutes away.

All remaining homes are under $399,900. For more information, visit omegaliving.ca or call 604-233-7748.

Submitted photosThe homes at Omega have several chic and modern touches, from the porcelain tile backsplash in the kitchen, above, to the generous bedrooms and flex spaces in some floorplans, top and left.
