Terminating its former superintendentcould cost the Burnaby school board wellover $400,000 over the next two years, ac-cording to documents obtained by theNOW.Kevin Kaardal, the school district’s CEO

for two years, stepped down suddenly at theend of January.His settlement agreement, obtained un-

der a freedom of information request, stateshe will spend until July 17 using up vaca-

tion and gratuity days whilecollecting full salary, benefitsand a $9,151 car allowance.The board of education

will formally terminate Kaar-dal “without cause” on July17, the agreement states,kicking off an 18-month “no-tice period” during which theformer superintendent willcontinue to collect salary andbenefits until Jan. 17, 2017.Kaardal earned $215,702

in salary and benefits in2013/14, according to thedistrict’s most recent exec-utive compensation report,potentially putting the billfor his termination to about$430,000.

If the former superinten-dent gets a public sector jobin B.C. during the notice pe-riod, severance paymentswould end under the settle-ment agreement, unless hisnew job paid less than hisSchool District No. 41 posi-tion.In that case, the board

would top Kaardal up untilJan. 17, 2017.If he gets a job outside of

the B.C. public sector, sal-ary and benefits would stopimmediately and Kaardal bepaid out 50 per cent of hisremaining salary in a lumpsum.

Under the terms of the agreement, the

board provided their former superinten-dent with a reference letter vetted by bothparties, and Kaardal signed a release relin-quishing any right to sue the board for histermination.Board chair Ron Burton told theNOW

in February that Kaardal’s departure wasneither a firing nor a resignation.“It was kind of a mutual agreement

where the board wanted to move in a diffeent direction and he wanted to pursue othoptions,” Burton said.The board chair said he couldn’t delve

more deeply into the details because it waa personnel issue and the two parties hadsigned a confidentiality agreement.“It’s just one of those things in a relation

Cityseekscourtordertostoptenantswithgrow-opNeighbours frustrated that it is taking more than a year for action

[email protected]

Residents of Riversideare still fuming over a mari-juana grow-op that contin-ues to operate despite nu-merous warnings from thecity it is in violation of thezoning bylaw.In January, theNOW

broke the story of a homein the 6000 block ofThorne Avenue that wasbeing used to produce hun-dreds of medical marijua-na plants despite the city’sclear zoning bylaw, whichonly allows for medicalmarijuana to be producedin industrial areas.One week after the sto-

ry was published, Jennif-er Marshall, a property usecoordinator with the Cityof Burnaby, conducted herfourth inspection of theThorne Avenue property.According to information

obtained from a freedom ofinformation request by theNOW earlier this month,the inspection revealedthere were more plants inthe grow-op than therewere on Oct. 31, 2014, the

last time Marshall had in-spected the property.“Once again we went

through the electrical roominto the three large plant-filled rooms, and I wasamazed to see that onceagain, as we saw the veryfirst time we inspected, therooms were full of marijua-na plants,” she wrote in theemail.Marshall estimated there

were likely 444 plantsspread between three dif-ferent rooms inside thebuilding.It’s now been more than

one year since Burnaby res-ident Gino D’Onofrio, wholives next door to the grow-op, first contacted the citywith concerns about an in-dustrial-style building be-ing constructed on theneighbouring property.Because D’Onofrio’s

concerns were only specu-lation at the time, the citycouldn’t do anything oth-er than wait until the struc-ture was built. By the timeit was completed last sum-mer, it became clear thetenants were using the newmetal building to grow

marijuana.“The city has given them

enough rope up to now,enough is enough. It’s gotto come to an end. The de-cision has to be made,”D’Onofrio said.

He thinks the city shouldbe held accountable for ap-proving the building in thefirst place – if it had neverbeen approved, this wholemess could have beenavoided, he added.“Whoever approved the

design and building eitherwas in cahoots with themor was blind,” he said.

CITYSTUCK IN LEGAL

BATTLE

Following Marshall’s fi-nal inspection in January,the file was forwarded tothe City of Burnaby’s solic-itor, Bruce Rose.Rose is now waiting to

hear if a court order barringthe Thorne Avenue tenantsfrom growing medical mar-ijuana on that property willbe granted.Rose, however, couldn’t

say when a hearing wouldtake place.“We’ve told them giv-

en the circumstances,we’d like it moved alongas quickly as possible,” hesaid.Rose admits it’s not the

best situation for residentsin the area, but the city haspretty much exhausted allof its avenues at this point.“That’s why we’re going

to court to ask for a courtorder for them to cease do-ing that,” he said. “That’sreally what our remedy ishere.”If the city is success-

ful in getting the order,D’Onofrio would like tosee the building torn down.When theNOW asked

if that was an option, Rosesaid it’s unlikely the own-ers could be forced to teardown the building becausethat’s not what is in viola-tion of the zoning bylaw.

Policecall forwitnesses [email protected]

Investigators with the In-tegrated Homicide Investi-gation Team are asking forwitnesses to step forwardafter a 33-year-old man wasfound dead in southeastBurnaby last week.On April 16, while on pa-

trol shortly before 3 a.m.,Burnaby RCMP offic-ers discovered the body ofElmer Libertino lying in theeastbound lane of MoscropStreet near Smith Avenue.Investigators believe theBurnaby resident travelledby public transit from Sur-rey to the area of Kingswayand Boundary Road some-time between 2 and 3 a.m.“There may have been

quite a few people on footin the area of Moscrop andSmith around this time,and we are asking thosepeople to come forward totell us if they saw anythingincluding Mr. Libertino in

the area,” Sgt. StephanieAshton, spokesperson forthe Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team, said ina release.Investigators are look-

ing to speak with a group ofpeople they believe were inthe area at the time of Lib-ertino’s death. These peo-ple were engaged in anonline geo-tagging gamecalled Ingress, the releasestated.These gamers are asked

to contact investigatorsat 1-877-551-4448 or byemail at [email protected].“Elmer Libertino has no

criminal record, he has hadno contact with police, andhe has left behind a griev-ing family who want an-swers about what happenedto their loved one. We askthat if you know somethingyou contact IHIT and sharewhat you know,” Ashtonsaid.

Residents beware – that’sthe message coming fromBurnaby RCMP after awoman was assaulted in thearea where a homicide oc-curred only days before.According to police, at

about 1:40 a.m. on April19 a woman was walkinghome in the 4800 block ofSmith Avenue when shewas attacked from behind.The suspect grabbed her

and a struggle ensued, butthe victim was knocked tothe ground. She began toscream, which scared offthe suspect, according to amedia release from Burna-by RCMP.The suspect is described

as about 5-11 and 165pounds with light skin andshort dark hair. He waswearing a black coat andblack pants.Three days earlier, a

33-year-old Burnaby man

was found dead shortly be-fore 3 a.m. in the east-bound lane of MoscropStreet near Smith Avenue.While police couldn’t

say whether there is a con-nection between the April19 attack and the April 16death of Elmer Libertino,they are warning the publicbecause both victims weretravelling on foot in thesame area and at about thesame time.“Please trust your in-

stincts and be aware of yoursurroundings, and, if at allpossible, travel in pairs, es-pecially if you are out walk-ing late at night,” Staff Sgt.Maj. John Buis, spokes-person for the BurnabyRCMP, said in the release.Both Burnaby RCMP’s

serious crime unit and theIntegrated Homicide In-vestigation Team are work-ing together to determine ifthe two incidents are con-nected.

The City of Burnaby fin-ished 2014 very much in thegreen, according to draft fi-nancial statements present-ed to the audit committeelast week.Burnaby’s annual surplus

last year was $101 millionmore than projected in its2014 budget.The annual surplus was

expected to come in at$57.17 million, according tothe statements, but the actu-al surplus was $158.25 mil-lion.Approximately $58 mil-

lion of that was due to achange in the city auditors’accounting practice, accord-ing toMayor Derek Cor-rigan.“Until this year, funds re-

ceived by Burnaby from de-velopers to build commu-nity amenities were heldas deferred revenue un-til used for their intendedpurpose of building com-munity amenities (such asthe recently opened Brent-wood and theMetrotowncommunity resource cen-

tres, both of which providespace for valuable non-prof-it organizations),” Corri-gan wrote in a letter to theNOW. “This year, the citywas required to report thesefunds as revenue in the yearreceived, resulting in an in-crease in the annual sur-plus.”The sale of city

land also added$7 million to thesurplus, Corrigansaid, adding thatthe value of thecity assets receivedfrom developers,such as sidewalks,streets and lights,are also consideredrevenue.While most

sources of revenuecame in slightly higher thanexpected, and many expens-es slightly lower, the big-gest shift was in the catego-ry “other revenue from ownsources.”The 2014 budget project-

ed this category of revenuewould come in at $35.57million, while the actu-al amount at the end of theyear was $123 million.

Burnaby’s director of fi-nance, Denise Jorgenson,did not answer emailedquestions on what the oth-er revenue sources might be,saying only that the state-ments are a draft copy.Jorgenson confirmed the

auditors had reviewed thestatements with the audit

committee, add-ing the financialstatements wouldbe presented in anopen council meet-ing on April 27.The surplus

bumped up thecity’s net financialassets for the year.The 2014 budg-et had project-ed the city wouldhave a decrease

of $12.64 million in net as-sets last year, dropping thecity’s total net assets downto $695.31 million.Instead, the city saw an

increase of $125.81 millionin net assets for 2014, witha total of $833.76 millionin total net assets at the endof the year, according to thestatements.The 2015 provisional fi-

nancial budget was present-ed to council in February.The budget recommend-

ed a 2.98 per cent tax in-crease.The projected tax increase

would have been larger,were it not for savings foundby city staff, according toCoun. Dan Johnston, chairof the city’s newly named fi-nancial management com-mittee.“Staff have met with the

finance committee over thepast couple of months andhave been able to shave thetax rate down. I believe westarted at 4.5 or five per centat one point,” he said at theFeb. 2 council meeting.Last year, council ap-

proved a 1.97 per cent taxincrease, though the cityhad initially projected a 2.47per cent hike.Council also received the

2014 year-end report re-garding the city’s invest-ments at the February meet-ing. The city’s cash andinvestments for 2014 to-talled $827.41 million onDec. 31, 2014, up from$679.54 million at 2013’syear end.

Howprivateshouldyourvotebe?The inside of a voting

booth is meant to be themost private of places, butour provincial political par-ties wouldn’t mind steppingin there with you.That will be the effect of

a bill now before the legisla-ture that would allow politi-cal parties to gain access todata on which British Co-lumbians voted and whichones didn’t.Now, let’s be perfect-

ly clear up front: the parties

wouldn’t know how thosepeople voted, only that theyhad in fact voted.And the government jus-

tifies the move by saying itwould help to address low-er voter turnout, as recom-mended by the chief elec-toral officer.Except, as B.C.’s infor-

mation and privacy com-missioner Elizabeth Den-ham has pointed out,collecting data on who hasvoted and who hasn’t and

turning it over to politi-cal parties has absolutelynothing to do with increas-ing voter turnout – and thechief electoral officer rec-ommended absolutely nosuch thing.More than ever, election

campaigns are run like ma-chines – machines that arefuelled by personal informa-tion logged into sophisticat-ed databases that allow par-ties to target their campaignmessaging (and budgets).

Knowing who doesn’tvote simply gives the partiesmore licence to ignore peo-ple already marginalized bythe system – especially the

young and people with lowincomes.Let’s not give themmore

fuel for the machine.Dwindling voter turn-

out is indeed a distressingsymptom of the health ofdemocracy. But having BigBrother keep track of who’svoting and who’s not isn’tthe answer to that symp-tom.If those in power are tru-

ly interested in growing vot-er turnout, they can start

be changing the behavioursthat keep people home onelection day – scandals, at-tack ads, patronage, lav-ish spending on things thathave nothing to do withgovernance, putting the in-terests of the party and itsdonors ahead of constitu-ents.

The$845,000projectwas initiatedby the city to remove silt andother solids that had flowed into the lake fromurbandevelop-ment. Despite the slowdown, thedredging equipment chosenwasdeemedadequate tomeet the 21-daypilot project’s objec-tives of removing lake-bed sediment and vegetation. Thenextstepwas toprepare apost-project report anddevelop estimatesfor future large-scale dredging expected to costmillions.

Lake dredging pilot a success

Opposition isfinallyhittingitsstrideAs the legislative session

heads into the homestretch(after this week there are 16sitting days remaining), it’sworth noting the NDPOp-position appears to have fi-nally hit its stride.The psychological trau-

ma of that brutal and unex-pected election loss in 2013seems to be ebbing. Andthe NDP caucus has beenable to find enough issuesto land a few body blowson the B.C. Liberal govern-ment.The current controver-

sy over the sale of Crownland is a good example of anOpposition party getting itsteeth into something juicyand not letting go.A couple of years ago

there was widespread skep-ticism that Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong wouldbe able to deliver bal-anced budgets. A key partof de Jong’s plan to bal-ance the books was thesell-off of hundreds of mil-lions of dollars of govern-ment-owned assets (mostlyland). There was criticism,at the time, that this wasno true way of balancingthe budget and in any case,it was doubtful the salestargets could be reached.Well, de Jong delivered

the goods. He successfullyheld the line on health-carespending, he was able toreach his goal of asset salesand he produced budgetswith healthy surpluses.But the NDP, armed

with some internal docu-

ments gained from freedomof information requests, hasbeen able to make a legiti-mate case that, in at leastsome instances, the govern-ment may have disposedof land at prices that weremuch too cheap.Earlier in this session, the

NewDemocrats scored ahome run when they ex-posed the newly createdAuditor General for LocalGovernment office as a dys-functional workplace run bysomeone who appeared tobe in over her head.To be sure, the NDP still

faces enormous challengesahead if it ever wants to getback into government. Butfor now, all it has to do is toconcentrate on the immedi-ate future, which is the legis-lature session itself.Being an effective Oppo-

sition party is a difficult andoften thankless task. TheOpposition has no real pow-er – it can’t pass legislationor determine what gets de-bated in the house, and itsposition on various issuesusually have little or no im-pact on what a governmentdoes.Nevertheless, the Oppo-

sition’s job is to “hold thegovernment’s feet to thefire,” as the saying goes.Judging what we’ve seen thepast few weeks, I suspectsome members of the B.C.Liberal government arestarting to feel a bit warmerin their shoes.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Recall debate raisessome readers’ hackles

J.HeightonHere comes the spin todiscouragepeople fromholding theirelectedofficials accountable. In reality,recall is a legal, democratic process.Iwould actually appreciate the factthat someone cares enough to askmewhat I think and iswilling to give uptheir spare time to enableme tohavea voice.Getting voted in in an election is not a“freepass” to ignore your people for 4years.Whether it’s the chronic under-fundingof Burnabyhospital (and someof the longestwait times in theprov-ince as a result), or plans that couldlead to 7 times the tanker traffic inBur-rard Inlet, or the lack of a poverty planin a riding that has 20%child poverty,or the shrinkingof themiddle class dueto skyrocketingmultiple fees, peopleare just fedupandwant someonewhospeaks onbehalf of them,whovotesonpolicy onbehalf of them. That iswhat an electedofficial is supposed todo. Recall reminds ALL electedofficials,regardless of party,who theyneed tobe responsible to.If youare calling this an abuseofdemocracy (which it isn’t), thenwhatdo you call the forcedby-electionbyapremierwho couldnot get enoughvotes in her own riding? I’d say any toolthat allows the regular people to takethe situation into their ownhands andremind thoseup top that theywereelected inbypeople, for thepeople, isa tool that actually ISDEMOCRACY, be-cause it revolves around thepeoples’voice.

Middle ground oncomfort women issue?

HarmelGuram If people are unable toagree about specifics, it can at least beagreed that theones to suffer themostduringwars are averagepeople thathaveno control over the circumstancesof thewar-time conditions that havebeenplacedupon them. In the caseof Japan, Korea andChina, averagepeoplewere subjected to tyrannybytheir rulers including the elites thatcontrolled the levers of power. Sadly,theprewar elites that created suchconditions have carriedon to rule theircountries andare the very people thatare exploiting the stories of sufferingthat averagepeople endured.Whynot erect amemorial to all thathave sufferedand to emphasize theimportanceof learning fromhistoryandnot repeating it aswedo today?

City co-ops are joining thefight for a national afforda-ble housing strategy.Burnaby-Douglas MP

Kennedy Stewart is work-ing with local co-ops on cus-tomized petitions that heintends to present in Parlia-ment.“Halston Hills was the

first co-op to participatewith over 100 memberssigning a petition express-ing their concerns and howthey would like the federalgovernment to re-commit toa robust federal cooperativehousing program,” Stew-art wrote in an email to theNOW. “This same processis underway in most otherco-ops, with the hope beingthat I can table petitions inthe House of Commons forall co-ops before the end ofthis Parliament.”The government is re-

quired to respond to peti-tions within 45 days, so longas the petition is signed by25 people or more, he add-ed.Stewart presentedMotion

547 in the House of Com-mons, calling for an afford-able housing strategy, last

November.The Burnaby Task Force

on Homelessness is backingthe motion and approachedBurnaby council to do so aswell. Council agreed to sup-port the motion at Mondaynight’s meeting.“Burnaby residents living

in extreme pover-ty and homeless-ness have limitedoptions for supportservices and hous-ing and no localshelter within theirhome communi-ty,” the co-chairsof the task force,Darin Froese andCarolyn Orazetti,wrote in a letter tocouncil. “This re-sults in dire living situationsfor Burnaby’s vulnerable cit-izens.”The task force was

formed in 2005 and is madeup of representatives fromgovernment agencies, FraserHealth, RCMP, social ser-vice and community organi-zations, business improve-ment associations, housingproviders, faith communitiesand residents.“The 2011 City of Burn-

aby Social Sustainability Re-port stated that almost 20

per cent of Burnaby house-holds had incomes below$20,000 in 2005,” the let-ter stated. “The ProgressiveHousing Society homelessoutreach program assists be-tween 30 and 40 new clientseach month.”Stewart’s motion asks that

the federal govern-ment work withprovinces, territo-ries, municipalities,Aboriginal com-munities and hous-ing providers tocreate and imple-ment an affordablehousing strategy.The strategy

would affirm thataccess to adequatehousing is a human

right; provide financial assis-tance to those who cannotafford adequate housing;ensure the cost of housingdoesn’t compromise peo-ple’s abilities to meet theirbasic needs; maintain andexpand direct federal in-vestments in social housing;and set clear targets and ob-jectives to prevent and endhomelessness.Co-op members who

want to work with Stew-art on a customized petitioncan call 604-291-8863.

Lookingatasummercamp?Summer camp is often

something kids look forwardto, and something they willfondly recall long after theyreach adulthood. For manykids, summer camp pro-vides a first taste of indepen-dence, as youngsters spendsignificant time away fromhome without their par-ents for the first time in theirlives.But as great an experience

as summer camp can be foryoungsters, it can be justas difficult an experience ifparents don’t find the rightfit for their children. That’swhy it behooves parents tostart thinking about summercamps for their kids as ear-ly as possible, before campregistrations start filling up.The following are a fewthings parents should takeinto consideration whenseeking a summer camp fortheir kids.Staff:The right summer camp

staff can make all the differ-ence. Many children are un-derstandably shy when ar-riving at a summer camp,

as their friends from backhome might not be joiningthem. That can make kidshesitant to participate in ac-tivities or less enthusiasticabout those activities. Buta good staff will know howto make kids feel welcome,which should help make themost of their summer campexperience.The quality of staff can

vary significantly dependingon the camp, so it’s impor-tant parents ask camp rep-resentatives about their staffbefore making any commit-ments.Ask how long the staff

members have been togeth-er and the types of trainingnew and even veteran staffmembers undergo beforethe start of camp season.Does the training includefirst aid and emergencymedical training and certifi-cation? It’s also good to askabout the vetting processthe camp employs beforehiring new staff, includingthe extent of its backgroundchecks. Are criminal back-ground checks conducted?

Howmany references mustpotential staff members sup-ply to be considered for em-ployment? A good campwill be forthcoming with an-swers to all of your ques-tions, so eliminate those thatappear hesitant to share.A day in the life:When vetting camps for

kids, parents should askwhat a typical day is likeonce the season hits fullswing. Many parents wanttheir youngsters to have awell-rounded experience,while others might wantthem to attend a more spe-cialized camp, whether it’sfocusing on a particularsport or a music camp de-voted to helping kids be-come better musicians.Regardless of the type

of camp parents are con-sidering for their kids, theyshould ask about what dailylife at the camp is like.Ask to see schedules and

how strictly camps adhereto those schedules. Whenconsidering specializedcamps, ask if kids will havethe chance to simply have

a little fun and which typesof recreational activities areplanned to give kids a breakfrom what are often rigorousschedules.Camp goals:A camp should be dedi-

cated to ensuring kids havefun, even when kids are at-tending more specializedcamps that tend to be morestrict. In addition, parentsshould look for a camp thatwants its attendees to fosterrelationships with their fel-low campers.And remember, camp

doesn’t have to be an away-from-home experience.There are lots of day campsand sports camps in Burn-aby and NewWestminster.Check them out and talk itover with your kids.

Retired Burnaby firefight-er Mark Schiebler passedaway recently from pancre-atic cancer. He was 68.Schiebler, a NewWest-

minster resident, worked forthe Burnaby Fire Depart-ment for more than threedecades.Bill Watson, retired as-

sistant chief training officerwith the Burnaby depart-ment, spoke highly of Schie-bler; they were best friends

and longtime colleagues.“He was just a hell of a

fireman,” Watson said. “Hedid his job well, and we’reall going to miss him. Hewas just taken too quick.”Watson described Schie-

bler as a healthy, activeman who was involved insports, his family and chari-table work. The two friendsplayed golf regularly.“I could call on him for

anything. If you were hisfriend, you could call himup at two in the morning,and he would bail you out,”

Watson said. “Mark wasone heck of a guy. He did alot for other people.”Schiebler spent 33 years

in the Burnaby Fire De-partment. He started at age21, and when he retired in2001, he was the chief fireprevention officer.This January, he was di-

agnosed with pancreat-ic cancer and given meremonths to live. He died onApril 10.Schiebler’s son Jeff, who

is also a firefighter, saidfamily was No. 1 for his fa-

ther.“He was married for 45

years. We real-ly had a perfectchildhood grow-ing up,” Jeff said.“Very humbleman; he workedhard. He was veryquiet. He was thetype of guy whohad a quick-wittedone-liner sense ofhumour.”Much of Mark’s

close family livedin the Queen’s Park neigh-

bourhood.“One of my dad’s final

sayings, and this re-lates back to fam-ily, … he’s mostproud of his threekids, his 10 grand-children, and theyare all a nine ironaway,” Jeff said,explaining the golfreference meantthey all lived close.Jeff said fire-

fighting was a hugepart of his father’s

identity, and he passed

away wearing his Burnabyfirefighters T-shirt. Jeff alsosaid Mark wanted any do-nations in his memory to goto the Burnaby Firefighters’Charitable Society. To do-nate, call 604-434-1717.Schiebler left behind his

wife, Lynda, two other chil-dren in addition to Jeff and10 grandchildren.There will be a celebra-

tion of Schiebler’s life onSaturday, May 2, at 1 p.m.at the Firefighters PublicHouse at 6515 Bonsor Ave.in Burnaby.

While the first phase ofthe Brentwood Town Cen-tre development is underconstruction, Shape Prop-erties is nowmoving for-ward with its proposal forPhase 3.Shape recently submitted

a rezoning application forthe third residential building

for the site.“The intent of the mas-

ter plan identifies residen-tial building three as a singlehigh residential apartmentbuilding between 35 and55 storeys in height atop acommercial podium front-ing Brentwood Boulevardand Lougheed Highway,”Benjamin Nelson withShape Properties wrote in aletter to the city’s planning

and building department.City staff are working

with Shape on a develop-ment plan for the building,which will then be sent topublic hearing.Shape plans to move

ahead with Phase 2 of theproject at the same time asPhase 3, and expects to fin-ish it before Phase 3.However, as Phase 2 in-

cludes the new Brentwood

Community Centre, furtheranalysis is underway be-fore a rezoning applicationis submitted for that portionof the development, accord-ing to a report from LouPelletier, the city’s directorof planning and building.The Brentwood master

plan divided the 11.5-hec-tare site at 4515 and 4567Lougheed Hwy. into fourquadrants for development,

with the first phase includ-ing the two residential tow-ers currently under con-struction.The project has been a

source of controversy inthe Brentwood communi-ty, with many residents op-posed to the increase in traf-fic and density in the area.The rezoning application

for the second residentialbuilding, a 53-storey tower

at the corner of LougheedHighway andWillingdonAvenue, went to publichearing last summer, withabout 40 people in attend-ance. The application wasapproved last November.In total, the master plan

includes proposals for 10residential towers. The de-sign also includes a redevel-oped commercial centre andpublic outdoor spaces.
