24-hourguard puton schoolA security guard stands watch 24 hours

a day, seven days a week, over the oldRiverside Elementary School after a firewas deliberately set there late last year.

Riverside Elementary, at 7855 MeadowAve. in south Burnaby, was closed in 1982after a decline in enrolment in the area.Until a few years ago, the district was rent-ing the facility to a private school, but whenthat agreement ended the school becamea storage facility for equipment, furnitureand supplies, according to Greg Frank,secretary-treasurer of the Burnaby schooldistrict.

“The site has also been used by the dis-trict for training purposes,” Frank wrote inan email to the NOW.

The school site remained relative-ly undisturbed until Oct. 12, when theBurnaby Fire Department was alerted bythe school district that a fire had broken outinside the building.

“(Firefighters) obtained keys for thefront of the building from a security guard,(and the) door was opened,” said assistantfire chief Greg Mervin.

The fire, which was relatively small,started in one of the rooms inside the oldschool, and fire crews were able to contain

it to that area quickly, Mervin added.“It was suspicious … but I don’t have

anything, like the cause or anything,” hesaid.

Both the Burnaby RCMP and fire offi-cials told the NOW they have been calledon several occasions to the Riverside neigh-bourhood, by residents of the quiet, farm-ing community, but most of the calls endup being false alarms.

According to Frank, the district is awarethat squatters may be living in the area andpossibly using the school as shelter.

“We are aware that homeless peoplemay be present in the surrounding area andoccasionally may enter our site,” Frank saidin his email.

According to Lou Pelletier, directorof planning and building for the City ofBurnaby, the school site is currently “underthe jurisdiction, control and occupancy” ofthe school district, but the property itself isactually owned by the city.

Eventually, when the district no longerneeds the site, it will be reclaimed by thecity.

“Should the school district conclude itsuse of the property, it would return to thecity as part of our open space and park-lands,” Pelletier said in an email.

Pelletier said he was not at liberty todiscuss what type of financial arrangementthe city has with the district concerning theRiverside property.

“The additional security on site is tem-porary as we work through details andoptions with our insurance provider. Thesite will eventually be reclaimed by the cityof Burnaby for other purposes,” he added.

In transition: The old Riverside Elementary School is under guard after a fire late last year in the building. The property isowned by the city and, its future will be determined by the city.

Chief says new plan has delayed medical helpA pregnant woman in her first

or second trimester who is hemor-rhaging or having just miscarriedand called 911 is one of the 74 sce-narios that has been downgraded

from a “hot” to “cold” responseby the B.C. Ambulance Service.

The Burnaby Fire Departmentrecently released a report outlin-ing how the changes impacted itswork for the first three-and-a-halfmonths, which overall led to lon-ger wait times for ambulances by

firefighters.Last October, the B.C.

Ambulance Service changed 74services from Code 3 to Code 2 inits resource allocation plan. Themove changes the response fromlights and sirens to routine calls.

“Firsthand experience of (fire

department) personnel has shownthat the new (resource allocationplan) has resulted in delayedambulance response to medi-cal incidents in Burnaby,” DougMcDonald, Burnaby’s fire chief,said in his report.

For the first three months, fire-

fighters experienced an averagenine-minute wait for an ambu-lance to arrive, the number ofincidents where firefighters hadto wait more than 30 minutes dou-bled, and in six incidents they hadto wait more than one hour.

Edmonds community residentsare attempting to freeze time, atleast for the next 26 years.

In a joint project by the Cityof Burnaby and the EdmondsSeniors Society, dozens of itemscollected from residents will bepart of a time capsule that won’tbe opened until 2040.

“It came about when the citydecided to build a brand new com-munity centre,” Laurie Woolley,Burnaby’s coordinator of seniorsservices, told the NOW. “Whenthe seniors were told they wouldbe relocating from the originalcommunity centre to the brandnew, shiny centre, we recognizedthat they never really did any-thing to capture their history andmemorialize it in any way.”

Today, the time capsule will beceremoniously locked inside theEdmonds Community Centre nearthe Edmonds Street entrance.

“The city runs the centre, butthe seniors have an imaginationtoo, and they made it a homeaway from home,” Woolley said.“We wanted to make sure thatwasn’t forgotten.”

Ernie Fernandez, president ofthe Edmonds Seniors Society, saidmore than 40 years of history willbe in the capsule.

“The place is just going so fastright now,” he said of the newcentre. “It’s only been open forseveral months and we’ve dou-bled our membership activities.Baby boomers are all active in

sports, games and swimming.The place is just buzzing.”

Fernandez said the seniorshave been collecting items fromthe public, as well, to add to thecapsule. Items include pens, pins,newspaper clippings and a 25-foot collage with pictures, stampsand other items to commemoratethe last 40 years.

“A lot of the stuff was veryinteresting to look at,” he added.

“Some of those members are stillalive today, and looking at the agedifference, what you look like 40years ago, was very interesting.”

For the city, it’s been a funexperience to organize the timecapsule as a way to celebrate thecommunity, according to DaveEllenwood, director of parks andrecreation.

“You never know what’s goingto be a really interesting part,”

Ellenwood added. “The fun istrying to anticipate things, likecompact discs. What might not beinteresting at the time, who knowswhat they are in 25 years.”

Ellenwood said the best partof the capsule is, to him, the notesabout what community means toyou.

“It’ll be an educational piecefor the community,” he added.

[email protected]

Notes for the future: Sheila Ebenstiner, left, and Isobel Costanzo, members of the Edmonds SeniorsSociety, hold a 25-foot mural the community put together, which will go into a time capsule.

Building permits hit speed bump in city

Burnaby is having a slow start with build-ing permits this year – down by about $63 mil-lion compared to this time last year.

The total value of building permits forFebruary 2014 sits at about $26 million, accord-ing to a report from the planning and buildingdepartment.

But this time last year, building permits

totaled more than $89 million for February.“Larger permits have yet to come in this

year, and last year we had a couple of largepermits,” Lou Pelletier, director of planningand building, said at the March 10 councilmeeting. “We expect to see those coming for-ward in the next few reports, as well.”

Pelletier said he expects the numbers tofluctuate quite a bit from period to period,depending on future permit sizes.

In 2013, Burnaby almost had a record-breaking year with permits with a total of1,674 permits, valued at more than $674 mil-lion. By July 2013, permits already totaledmore than $427 million.

The highest year for permits in Burnaby

was in 2008, boasting more than $790 millionin value by the end of that year.

So far for 2014, there have been 247 permitsat a value of more than $57 million.

According to the Vancouver RegionalConstruction Association, building permitsdipped across the board last December by 39per cent. It closed out by five per cent in 2013,compared to 2012 values.

Total permit values in the Lower Mainlandand southwest region in December fell to$454.8 million compared to $740.2 million inNovember 2013.

The association’s forecast for 2014 is thatbuilding permits will come close to 2013 lev-els, with a chance of a small gain.

Council has pressed pauseon moving Brentwood TownCentre’s first proposed 53-storeytower forward, at least until resi-dents’ issues are addressed.

At the March 3 meeting,Burnaby city council tabledShape Properties’, the owners ofBrentwood mall, rezoning appli-cation for a 53-storey tower atopa three-storey commercial podi-um at the corner of WillingdonAvenue and Halifax Street. Theapplication was due to receivesecond reading at that meeting.

Mayor Derek Corrigan toldthe Burnaby NOW that coun-cil tabled the proposal so staffcould address the issues broughtup at a recent public hearing.

“We’re going to wait for thereport,” he said. “We don’t wantto move along yet until staffresponds to the issues raised bythe public.”

On Feb. 25, city hall’s coun-cil chambers were packed withresidents to discuss the tower’srezoning application.

At least 100 people attended

and raised various issues includ-ing rat-runners, parking andtraffic problems. Overall, mostspeakers favoured Brentwoodmall’s redevelopment.

As the Burnaby NOW pre-viously reported, the 53-storeytower is expected to have 591apartment units.

About 300 of the units willbe built for the purpose of beingrented, which will be owned andoperated by the developer.

The first 25 floors will be forrental units, the upper 27 floorswill be strata, and there will alsobe 30 adaptable units.

The minimum unit size for theone-bedroom units will be 538square feet, while other smallerone-bedroom units are intendedto “provide a level of affordabil-ity for new home ownership andrental,” a city staff report states.

The tower proposal includesa 14,600-square-foot indoor areawith a fitness facility, mediaroom, games room, businessand study centre, music room,kitchen and dining area.

There’s also an outdoor ame-nity area with a fitness space,seating, children’s play area,barbecue area and rooftop land-scaping.

“A significant public art piecewill be provided at the entranceto the west mews off Halifax

Street, acting as a strong visualreference to the proposed devel-opment,” Lou Pelletier, directorof planning and building, statesin the report.

Council previously approveda cash-in-lieu contribution ofabout $5 million as a density

bonus from the project, as well.The 53-storey tower’s pro-

posal received first reading onFeb. 3. After second reading,the application proceeds tothird reading and final adoptionbefore Shape Properties can startbuilding.

The rezoning application forthe second residential tower onthe other side of the parkinglot is expected to follow for theBrentwood mall redevelopment.

Burnaby council has approveda renovation for the upper floor ofthe Bonsor Recreation Complexto the tune of $1.3 million.

The upgrade to the upper floorlevel is expected to serve an addi-tional 2,000 people a week, orabout 100,000 a year, accordingto a city staff report.

Last year, the Bonsor 55-plus

Society relocated from the upperfloor of the centre to the newBonsor 55-plus Centre on BennettStreet.

The Bonsor facility has alreadyundergone two renovation proj-ects in the last several years,including converting a restaurantinto a cardio space and the con-version of two racquetball courts

into a yoga studio and multi-pur-pose room.

The space on the upper floortotals about 3,340 square feet,which will expand to create morerecreational opportunities forcommunity members, accordingto the report.

There will be a 2,000-sq.-ft.room with a sprung wood floor

for dance programs, fitness class-es and social events, which looksout onto the outside deck. Therewill also be an 800-sq.-ft. roomfor a spin cycling studio, plustwo sound music studios of 100sq. ft. each, along with a comfort-able waiting area for communitymembers.

The city undertook a consulta-

tion process with existing patronsat the centre, and the feedbacksupported staff’s direction, thereport states.

The estimated constructioncosts are expected to be about$1.1 million, with additional feesfor permits, furnishing, equip-ment and other costs.

British Columbians haveevery right to be proud ofour world-leading recy-

cling program, built right here inthis province.

The achievement of themighty blue box is the prod-uct of an efficient partnershipbetween municipalgovernments, theprivate sector andthe people of BritishColumbia. It gets the job doneand, at an average cost of $35per household each year, it getsthe job done at a good price.

So, if the system for recyclingwaste packaging is working sowell, why is the province sokeen to “fix it” and hand it overto the very multinational corpo-rations who shipped us all thatpackaging in the first place?

Sounds remarkable, but thatis exactly what the provincialgovernment is doing. On May19, the government’s new multi-material recycling regulationwill formally end the days oflocal decision-making over ourblue box programs and hand itto some of the largest producersof plastic and paper packagingthe world has ever known.

Critical decisions about theprovince’s recycling programwill no longer be made byelected representatives who livein the communities those pro-grams serve, but instead by agroup made up almost entirelyof Toronto-based executives ofmulti-national companies who

will decide who will pay howmuch for the privilege of collect-ing and processing your recy-clables.

What is going on here?The consequence will be a

dramatic increase in costs forBritish Columbia’s businesses,

particularly the prov-ince’s newspapers. Infact, we estimate thatthe newspaper indus-

try is threatened with a bill thatcould come to $14 million. Thatis a dramatic increase whenyou consider that newspapersaren’t required to pay productstewardship fees today, directly.Newspapers, like all businesses,pay for these services the sameway all British Columbians do:through their property taxes.

That doesn’t mean newspa-pers haven’t been participatingin recycling and the environ-ment; far from it. In fact, news-papers are the original recycledproduct, and publishers havetaken steps, such as moving tovegetable-based inks, to mini-mize the environmental impactof our product. Diversion ratesfor newsprint are a remarkable85 per cent, already well abovethe government’s own target.

The government’s new recy-cling regulation wouldn’t do athing to improve newspapers’already impressive recyclingrecord. What it will do, however,is dump a massive new cost onto

Fair Elections Act needs a true public debateEverything old will become new again

– that old saying is self-fulfilling. It’sespecially true in the world of politics.

Governments using their majoritymay have an accepted route toconstruct an advantage whenit comes to our democracy, butthat doesn’t make it right.

The word “gerrymandering”recalls an older era when governmentsrigged riding borders to create the bestbenefit. But our current federal govern-ment is going a big step beyond what

was once considered part of the game.The latest steps by the Harper govern-

ment reach beyond the lines of partisan-ship and into the realm of the franchise

that Canadians have come totake for granted.

The ironicially titled FairElections Act, or Bill C23, isbeing roundly criticized by

scholars, pundits, the opposition andpeople from many walks of life – partisanand not.

Described by the government as a

means to reform the federal electoralmachinery, it has all the handiwork of atrojan horse in the form of a ballot box.

What the Conservatives have put onthe table is double layered in its lackof transparency – they want little to nodebate on the bill and have mined it withitems that would only benefit the party inpower.

Taking on just two of its contentiouspoints: the elimination of voter informa-tion cards as one piece of eligible identi-fication (but never the only source) would

make voting more difficult for students,seniors in care facilities, and First Nationspeople, and stripping Elections Canada ofits ability to safeguard the electoral pro-cess and eliminate the role in promotingvoter participation.

Emboldened by a majority in theHouse and having stacked the Senatewith yes men, Stephen Harper now hasall the leverage to make his home fieldadvantage last. But the right to voteshouldn’t be carved with such an obvi-ously partisan blade.

Mine should get the go-aheadDear Editor:

Why have we not learned the painful lessons ofthe past? The B.C. NDP government in the 1970sfoolishly shut down the entire B.C. mining industry,and it has taken several generations to recover.

Now, just as things were looking bright, thefederal Conservative government – which shouldknow better – has sent an equally chilling messageof negativity to the investment community by say-ing “no” to the Prosperity mine.

How many other well-planned mining projectsin B.C. are now on uncertain ground because ofthe negative signal that’s been sent? The Prosperitymine was a beacon of hope to thousands of peo-

ple and their families in the Cariboo region andbeyond.

This foolish, ill-informed decision must be recon-sidered and approval given to this mine. Every pos-sible environmental precaution is in place. There isno reason on earth to say “no” to it.

means of transporting oil through ourcommunities: the railroad. Significantly,shipping oil by rail it doesn’t require anassessment process, much less anyone’sapproval.

In point of fact, railway tanker cars areincreasingly being used to ship oil. TheCEO of Imperial Oil, Rich Kruger, recentlyput it this way: “While pipelines are themost efficient way to transport crude oiland petroleum products, other modes oftransport such as rail will be needed. Irefer to them primarily as kind of bridg-ing agents until additional pipelines are inplace and ultimately an insurance policy ifpipelines don’t come about.”

To underscore the point, Imperial Oil(a subsidiary of Exxon Mobile Corp.)has investments in rail stock. Moreover,the company is constructing a rail termi-nal near Edmonton designed to handle100,000 barrels a day initially but capableof expanding to 250,000 barrels a day. Itspartner in the project is Kinder Morgan.

Shipping oil by rail, of course, trig-gers images of the July 2013 Lac-Meganticdisaster.

And if time and geography tended toblunt its impact on our lives, the January2014 derailment that dumped a largeamount of coal into a Burnaby creek wasa sharp reminder that rail accidents canhappen anytime anywhere.

It should also remind us that the oil

sands companies are a determined lot.Whether by pipe or rail or both, if it meansgoing through our communities to getbitumen to market, that’s exactly whatthey will try to do.

And that, of course, will likely give riseto yet another public-based struggle.

Get native affairs in orderDear Editor:

Re: Tragic lessons from teen’s death,Opinion, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 12.

It is obvious to anyone reading theOpinion page that Keith Baldrey has onceagain knocked the ball out of the ball-park as it concerns the problem of childwelfare as it occurs (or doesn’t) on nativereserves.

The problem with thuggery on mostreserves across Canada (from NewBrunswick through Caledonia and borderreserves in southern Ontario and Quebec)and the latest movements of drugs andguns and illegal persons revealed in recentstories in the national papers is proof thatthe politically correct actions – or rather,lack thereof – have proven fatal to theweakest members of their society.

It is proven that tribal leaders in most ofthe reserves are incapable of handling thehuge amounts of money made available tothem and that they need to be democra-tized in order to put a stop to the incessantcriminality those systems encourage.

Rail brings its own hazards

the back of a fragile indus-try still challenged to staystanding.

While our readership isstronger than ever, BritishColumbia’s newspapersare struggling financially.Having Victoria force a$14-million tax on news-papers in the current envi-ronment looks an awfullot like someone throwingan anchor to a drowningperson.

Sadly, every singlenewspaper, from largeregional dailies to thesmallest communityweekly, in every part of theprovince, will be impacted.Indeed, there is no greaterthreat to the vibrancy ofBritish Columbia’s news-paper industry today thanthe government’s new recy-cling policy. Think aboutthat for a minute whileenjoying your next read. Itis your daily newspaper,your community weekly,that is at risk here.

But the new recyclingregime will not only causea wave of damage and joblosses across newsroomseverywhere, it will alsohave an impact on manyother businesses, as wellas thousands of municipaljobs that will be put at riskwith the loss of local deci-sion making for our recy-cling programs.

And, don’t believe for aminute that this will some-how help B.C. families.The reality is that thesecosts will be passed on toconsumers, who will nowpay for the cost of recyclingevery time they have a boxof pizza delivered, pick upa carton of milk, or buy aroll of toilet paper.

The government stillhasn’t said what was sowrong with the currentblue box program that theycould only fix it by hurtinglocal businesses and costinghard-working people theirjobs.

Yet, in spite of hav-

ing no clear rationale, theprovince seems intent ongambling away the successof the blue box with anexperiment in somethingthey like to call “extendedproducer responsibility.”

The ironic truth, ofcourse, is that the gov-ernment’s new hands-offapproach actually rep-resents an abdication ofresponsibility, not its exten-sion.

As a result, decisionsabout nearly every aspectof our recycling system willbe handed over to a smallgroup of big businessesbased thousands of kilome-tres east of the Rockies.

British Columbia’senvironment minister maythink that’s just fine, butI suspect the people ofBritish Columbia mighthave a different opinion.

“Staff are of the opinion that the changesmade on the basis of clinical and statisticaldata have ignored the important needs ofimmediate scene assessment andstabilization, as well as patientconditions and status updates atthe scene if the event is escalat-ed to more serious than reportedor as classified by a call taker,”McDonald said. “The delayedambulance response also requiresthe (department’s) resources to stayat the scene longer and potentiallycould impact the (department’s)ability to respond to other emer-gencies in a timely manner.”

Despite the fire chief’s findings,Kelsie Carwithen, spokesperson for the B.C.Emergency Health Services, said since theplan was implemented, paramedics are get-ting to urgent calls faster and the responsetime to routine calls is about six minuteslonger.

“We found that the six additional min-utes for routine calls did not have a nega-tive impact on the patient’s condition,” she

told the NOW.Carwithen said the changes are not about

reducing costs but about using resources“smarter.”

“It’s important that we makethe best use of taxpayer fundswhile continuing to provide qual-ity care,” she said. “It’s impor-tant that we provide thebest patient care we canon each and every call.Resources are being usedas effectively as possible,and emergency vehiclesaren’t driving with lightsand sirens if it isn’t required.”

In a letter to council, WynnePowell, board chair of B.C.EmergencyHealthServices,wrote

that most B.C. fire departments decided tomatch the ambulance service’s response.

However, theB.C.FireChiefsAssociationpolled its membership regarding matchingthe ambulance service’s plan, and 78 percent reported they had not changed theirlevel of response for incident types fromCode 3 to Code 2.

“In addition, about 48 per cent of thecities polled had experienced increasedwait times for an ambulance’s arrival,”McDonald said.

Councillors expressed their frustrationsto the service change’s impacts at the coun-cil meeting on March 10 as outlined inMcDonald’s report.

Coun. Paul McDonell said it’sanother example of the provincedownloading service to municipali-ties.

“This is the start of privatizingsome of the ambulance service,”he added. “This is just the govern-

ment’s way of saying there’s more balancein the books and more balance in the bud-get, and down the torpedoes.”

Jordan said the city will not be receivingthe report in which the basis of the changeswere made that it had asked for last fallbecause “there isn’t one.”

“Let’s face it, this is a mess, and it’s avery serious mess,” she said. “It’s impactedpeople’s lives.

“I’m disgusted by what’s being done. …Those resource decisions are being made in

the interests of the bottom line and not inthe interests of the citizens, and we’re notgoing to go in that direction.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan said Burnaby haschosen not to reduce its responses in linewith the ambulance service.

Council requested a meeting with Powellto discuss the changes to the ambulanceservice.

The saga of Tung Sheng(David) Wu continued last weekas he plead guilty to tax evasioncharges.

On March 7, the CanadaRevenue Agency announced thatWu, a dentist who was found prac-tising illegally in Burnaby, pleadguilty to tax evasion and is now

required by law to repay $33,000to the federal government.

The fines represent 75 per centof the income taxes Wu failedto pay while practising dentistryillegally from 2009 through to2012, which amounted to nearly$238,000, according to a mediarelease from the Canada Revenue

Agency.“The amounts were calculated

using Wu’s patient charts, whichrecorded both the dental treat-ment provided and the amount hecharged to the patient, as well aswhen the patients paid him,” therelease stated.

As previously reported, Wu

turned himself in to TorontoPolice in November after being onthe run since August. The Collegeof Dental Surgeons of B.C. beganinvestigating the Burnaby dentistafter learning he had continued topractise despite having an injunc-tion filed against him in 2003,which forbade him from practis-

ing. Wu was sentenced to threemonths in jail in provincial courtfor his actions.

The college believes Wu hadabout 1,500 patients while hewas practising dentistry illegallyfrom the basement of his Burnabyhome.

Good news for parents of Stoney CreekElementary students: soil testing resultsshow there’s nothing in the ground relatedto the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline that runsbeneath the school property.

The news should come as a relief to staffand parents, who were raising concernsabout the pipeline’s proximity.

“We are pleased that Kinder Morganhas undertaken these tests to demonstrateStoney Creek is a safe environment,” wroteprincipal David Starr in a letter to parents.

As previously reported in the NOW,Kinder Morgan was taking soil samples atStoney Creek Elementary last July, at thebehest of the Burnaby school district.

Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline, which hasbeen in place since the 1950s, runs underthe property at Stoney Creek and beneath acommunity garden at the school.

Starr’s letter states that SNC Lavalin,hired by Kinder Morgan, took 21 soil sam-ples on the school grounds, from multipledepths and areas.

There was only one sample showing ahigh level of hydrocarbons that exceededthe federal standards for protecting fresh-water aquatic life. The results of that onesample were not connected to the pipeline;the hydrocarbons seem to be coming fromsome kind of woody debris or burnt wood,according to the report.

To see Starr’s letter and the testing report,go to Jennifer Moreau’s blog at www.burnabynow.com.

B.C.’s teachers may have voted infavour of a strike, but Burnaby classroomsshouldn’t be closing anytime soon.

In a provincewide B.C. Teachers’Federation vote held late last week, nearly90 per cent voted in favour of job action,but the president of the Burnaby Teachers’Association says the vote will be used topressure the provincial government.

“The vote supports our bargaining teamand puts pressure on the government todrop a number of concessions they’ve puton the table,” said association presidentJames Sanyshyn. “Hopefully, now that canstart happening.”

The BCTF and the provincial govern-ment are in the midst of legal wranglingswhile bargaining over a new collectiveagreement.

A recent court case found the provincehad unconstitutionally violated teachers’bargaining rights, but the province hasappealed.

Class size and composition (meaningthe number of special needs students ineach class) have been sticking points in theongoing dispute.

According to the BCTF, if and whenthere is job action, it will not include clos-ing schools, withdrawal from extra cur-ricular activities or affecting report cardsand communication with parents – at leastnot initially.

A man suffering froma bullet wound gave din-ers quite a shock when hestumbled into a Vancouverrestaurant on March 8.

According to theVancouver PoliceDepartment, a 33-year-oldBurnaby man was shotwhile sitting in a car on35th Avenue near VictoriaDrive at about 9:30 p.m.

was in his vehicle when anunknown man approachedand shot several bulletsinto the vehicle before run-ning off, a media releaseexplained.

The victim walked overto a nearby restaurant onVictoria Drive, and thepatrons inside called 911.The victim was taken tohospital and underwentsurgery.

Investigators believe theshooting was a targetedincident and confirmed thevictim is known to police.

The investigation isongoing, and so far noarrests have been made.

Anyone with informa-tion is asked to call theVancouver police at 604-717-2541 or Crime Stoppersat 1-800-222-8477.

CANADA POSTTOWN HALL

Hosted by:

PETER JULIAN, MP(Burnaby-New Westminster)

When: 7:00PM-9:00PM, Thursday, March 20thWhere: Nikkei Cultural Centre, 6688 Southoaks Crescent, Burnaby

For more information, please contact Sandra @ 604-775-5707or [email protected]


Burnaby-New Westminster MP PeterJulian is hosting a town hall meeting onCanada Post’s plan to phase out door-to-door delivery.

The country’s postal service is facingfinancial pressure and replacing door-to-door service with community boxes, or“super boxes,” where customerspick up their own mail – some-thing both the City of Burnabyand Julian oppose.

“The biggest concern, ofcourse, is super boxes are gettingthe reputation as being candystores for thieves. There havebeen thousands of super boxesbroken into,” Julian told theNOW. “There are also major con-cerns on the impact on seniors,people with disabilities, and localbusinesses.”

At the meeting, Julian plans to talkabout what the government should bedoing, while listening to any concernsresidents might bring up.

According to Julian, Canada will be theonly country in the G8 that doesn’t pro-vide home delivery service. Meanwhile,other countries with public mail systemsare turning a profit by expanding intoother services, like money transfers andhome shopping delivery, he said.

“This government can’t even deliver

the mail,” he added.The town hall meeting is set for

Thursday, March 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. at theNikkei Centre, at 6688 Southoaks Cres.

Julian’s office is also collecting signa-tures for a petition calling on the federalgovernment to reject Canada Post plans toreduce services.

Last month, Canada Post announcedthe first round of communities slated

for service reductions in 2014.While Burnaby was not on thatlist, Canada Post spokesper-son Eugene Knapik could notsay when the community boxeswould start showing up in localneighbourhoods.

“At some point this year, we’llknow what communities will beaffected next year,” he said. “Atthis time, I don’t know.”

Knapik explained that CanadaPost is delivering fewer items,and changes must be made for

the service to be self-sustaining.“We know if we don’t make some

changes, we’re going to lose money,” hesaid. According to Knapik, buildings withmail rooms – apartments, condos andseniors’ homes, for instance – will not beaffected by the service cuts, but door-to-door delivery will be phased out.

Knapik also said Canada Post is com-mitted to gathering public feedback on thechanges and working with people who areolder and have mobility challenges.

It seems, perhaps, an unlikely subject fora musical: the story of a cave explorer in1925 Kentucky who becomes trapped whilenavigating an underground network hehopes to develop into a tourist attraction.

His family and fellow cavers begin arescue attempt, while a mob of reportersgathers at the scene in one of America’s firstnation-wide media frenzies.

That musical is Adam Guettel’sacclaimed Floyd Collins – which is beingbrought to the Vancouver stage by PatrickStreet Productions, a born-in-Burnaby the-atre company that’s been making a namefor itself for bringing high-quality profes-sional musical theatre to the Vancouverstage.

It opened March 11 and is onstage at theYork Theatre until March 30.

The musical premiered off-Broadway in1996, but Patrick Street’s staging is the firsttime it will be seen in Vancouver.

“We have wanted to stage Floyd Collinsin Vancouver for many years; we hear thefuture of musical theatre in Adam Guettel’snuanced and evocative score,” said KateyWright, co-artistic producer of PatrickStreet, in a press release.

This year the show has special mean-ing for the company, since it opened itsseason in February with a Rodgers andHammerstein revue, Out of a Dream. Guettelis the grandson of Richard Rodgers.

“We just love the balance between thetwo shows and the lineage between RichardRodgers and Adam Guettel,” said PeterJorgensen, Wright’s husband and co-artisticproducer, in an interview with the BurnabyNOW.

The former Burnaby residents (they nowlive in New Westminster) have been drawnto Guettel’s work before – in 2011, theystaged his Light in the Piazza.

Jorgensen said that work is notable forthe way the music itself tells the story– something that Patrick Street strives tofind in its productions.

Floyd Collins, he said, is similar.“It’s got all the sophistication of The Light

in the Piazza, but textually and musically it’squite different,” Jorgensen said.

Wright noted that Guettel is known for

his ability to create an entirely new musicalvocabulary for each of his shows, based onits own particular time and place.

“He creates a musical universe for thestory,” she noted, adding his ability to do sois “phenomenal.” “You won’t find a glueypop ballad in the middle of a 19th-centurycostume drama.”

The musical style draws from bluegrassand Americana, while integrating elementsreminiscent of Bartok and Stravinsky.

Jorgensen said the music is integral tothe show.

“The music just keeps unravelling in asort of inevitable way,” he said.

Guettel himself recently came toVancouver for an evening talk and perfor-mance, thanks to the efforts of Patrick Street– and, while in town, he worked with thecast of Floyd Collins.

That cast includes a coast-to-coast net-work of Canadian musical theatre talent,with Daren A. Herbert in the title role.The Bermuda-born Herbert previouslyappeared in Patrick Street’s Piazza and hasmost recently been seen in Vancouver in theArts Club’s Dreamgirls.

He’s joined by CBC TV stars KevinMcNulty (of Arctic Air fame) and KrystinPellerin (of The Republic of Doyle), along

with local and national talent includingDavid Adams, Nathan Carroll, GrahamCoffeng, Michael Culp, Jay Davis, MichaelTorontow, Kris Truelsen, Andrew Wade,Ashley Wright and Katey Wright.

Floyd Collins is onstage at the YorkTheatre, 639 Commercial Dr. in Vancouver,from March 11 to 30.

Previews are on March 11 and 12 at 8p.m., with opening night on Thursday,March 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced from$19. Buy online at tickets.thecultch.com orcall 604-251-1363.

But what if they don’t?

Perhaps you are stressed,anxious. You take yourmeds, and you feel better –for a few weeks. Then youbegin to feel overwhelmedagain. The stress begins tobuild. You lack energy andenthusiasm, you can’tget going. Somethingjust isn’t right. So it isback on the meds, and thecircle goes around again.

But there might be another way. And,keeping an open mind, it might be rightfor you.

Some medical practitioners believe thatsuch health problems arise when anenergy force which flows through thebody is blocked or unbalanced. Drugshelp for a time, but often they treat thesymptoms, not the cause.

Different cultures call this energyby different names, such as chi,prana or life force, but the concept iscommon around the world. The goal ofpractitioners of this type of medicine isto unblock or re-balance your energyforce. Energy therapies include qi gong,therapeutic touch, Reiki and magnettherapy.

Are you, perhaps, curiousabout this type of medicine?Would you like to know more?

Two local Reiki Masters and healers,Dr. Tahmineh Nikookar, a registeredacupuncturist and practitioner ofTraditional Chinese Medicine, andJoanna Wilby, a registered massagetherapist and energy healer, will beholding a clinic at Lions Gate HealthCentre, 156 East 13th Street, in NorthVancouver on April 5 and 6, where youcan experience for yourself their “notouch” energy healing.

Before and after the session photos,will be taken so that you can see foryourself the immediate corrections toyour postural alignment and shiftedpelvis. This method of energy healing isconsidered a quantum leap worldwide,as all happens in the blink of an eye.

Energy healing practitioners trace orswirl their hands above the skin alongspecific energy pathways to changeimpaired energy patterns. Even withouttouching the skin, this has been provento be an efficient and non-invasive way toimprove the health of organs, cells, andthe psyche.

Moreover, according to Dr. MehmetOz, writing on Oprah.com and acolumnist in The Province, thereis evidence to suggest that thistype of medicine, he says,“could be helpful in a widevariety of illnesses suchas stress-related physicalsymptoms, pain, high bloodpressure and other heartconditions.”

Grammar gurualive and kicking

Somewhere out there,we have a special readerwho likes to circle thegrammar mistakes in ourstories and send us theclippings.

This mystery reader,who has always remainedanonymous, will highlightthe mistake and add asimple correction.

While some peopletake grammar to a militantextreme, this person tem-pers the criticism with careand often decorates theclippings with hearts.

We don’t know whothis reader is or whetherthis reader is male or

female, but we’re guessinghe/she may be a teacher,or perhaps a retiredEnglish professor?

For a long time, no oneheard from the grammarguru, and we were worriedsomething may have hap-pened.

A couple of weeks ago,I was pleased to find anenvelope in my mailboxwith that familiar calligra-phy and no return address.I’m happy to report thegrammar guru is alive andhopefully well.

For those of you whoare curious: the mis-take was calling KinderMorgan’s secondary pipe-line route an alternate line,when in fact it should bean alternative line. Wechecked, and grammarguru was right again!

Thanks grammar guruif you are reading this.Reporters obsess overgrammar and spelling, and

we really enjoy the letterswe’ve received over theyears.

LITTLE BILLY’S STEAKHOUSE


The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’sworld-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities,to an association led by big multi-national corporations.The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efficient programthat costs taxpayers less.

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a betterprogram, or even one as good as the current Blue Box programalready in place. Since the association is led by big businessesoutside of BC, many of whom are not even headquarteredin Canada, one could presume that profits will come beforeenvironmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’tguarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbsiderecycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time youbring home a pizza, buy toilet paper, or pretty much anything else thatcomes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs onto you.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a BlueBox program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BCenvironment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing ina questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officialsare already calling a “scam?”

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC

Heads: you get a worserecycling program.

Tails: you getto pay more for it.

Ellen van Eijnsbergen is the curator of the BurnabyArt Gallery. She took over the position inSeptember 2013.

She’s the first subject of our new Fill in the Blanksseries, which will introduce Burnaby NOW readers to avariety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainmentcommunity.

Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, “filling inthe blanks” to let us know about themselves.

Without further ado, here’s Ellen …

1. I am excited to be working at the Burnaby Art Gallery(BAG).2. I spend my time working at the BAG, participating in

cultural activities, dragonboat-ing, outrigging, swimming andrelaxing with family and friends.3. Right now I am working onplanning exhibitions for theBAG 2015 gallery schedule.4.The book on my bedside

table right now is Seven Thousand Ways to Listen, byMark Nepo.5. Three songs you’ll find on my IPod playlist are Hey,Soul Sister –Train; Pompeii – Bastille; Harvest Moon – NeilYoung.6. One work of art that inspires me is Joyfully I See TenCaribou because it represents Inuit culture in Canada andit is on display in the Burnby Art Gallery until April 6.7. One artist who inspires me is Gathie Falk because sheis as gracious as the art that she creates.8. My idea of a perfect day is a warm, sunny day some-where near the ocean enjoying nature.9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is chocolate.10. My guilty pleasure is chocolate.11. My favourite vacation spot is – that’s a tough one– either Maui or southern France.12. My favourite thing about Burnaby is the cul-tural facilities at Deer Lake Park: Burnaby Art Gallery,Shadbolt Centre and Burnaby Village Museum – you canvisit all three in one afternoon and still have time to walkaround the lake.13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, Iwould choose my dad, who passed away a few yearsago.14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, Iwould choose Paris, early 1900s.15. If I could have a superpower, my superpowerwould be the ability to feed the world.

And finally ...16. If people want to find out more about me, they cancheck out burnabyartgallery.ca.

The Burnaby Heights is throwingit back to the ’80s for the 30th annualHats Off Day parade this summer.

The upcoming parade and streetfestival takes over Hastings Street onSaturday, June 7 and will mark its30th anniversary, as well.

Lawrence Ryan, chair of the HatsOff Day organizing committee, saidthe group knew it wanted to inspirepeople to wear costumes again likelast year with the mad hatter theme.

“We were looking for something,again, that people can get into, likepeople wearing hats. We liked that,”Ryan, also the Gilmore CommunitySchool coordinator, told the NOW.“Through discussions, we talkedabout different eras.”

To celebrate the anniversary, theHats Off Day organizing committeechose the ’80s theme and styles withcrimped hair, neon clothes and shoul-der pads.

“It’s amazing for our communitygroup and merchants, and it’s reallyexciting especially when you thinkof the history,” he said of the event.“We’re always trying new things.”

Ryan noted the parade was a grass-roots movement between Gilmoreschool and the Heights merchants 30years ago.

The group was just planning asmall event for the community anddidn’t expect it to become one of thebiggest annual events in Burnaby,attracting attendees from across theregion.

More than 50,000 people make itout every year for the colourful fes-tival. Many Heights merchants standout front with door prizes, giveaways,entertainment and food.

“We want to invite people, notonly in the Heights neighbourhood

who come out, but all the surround-ing areas to come out to this greatevent,” he said. “It’s an amazingthing to see that many blocks all theway down Hastings Street, to samplemerchants’ wares and products. It’sreally fun.”

The parade and display applica-tion forms are now available. Theparade application deadline is March31, and the display application is dueby April 4.

There will also be the one-kilo-metre Family Fun Run before theparade, starting around 8:30 a.m. forschools, children and families to par-ticipate in.

“Mark your calendars, pull outyour leg warmers, and find thatorange eye shadow,” a media releasestates. “There’s still plenty of timeto plan your very best Pac Man cos-tume, big hairdo and Breakfast Clubcharacter.”

New GMC Sierra makes driving pleasurable

General Motors is theonly manufacturerwho continues to

use a two-brand strategywith its line of trucksand SUVs. This is mostevident with its pickuptruck twins, the ChevroletSilverado and GMC Sierra– and the strategy works.

The GMC brand dif-ferentiates itself fromChevrolet by offering aslightly more premiumproduct. As a result, theSierra buyer is someonelooking for a few moreupscale features andhigher level of styling thanthe average Silverado cus-tomer.

The 2014 Sierra 1500is all new. GMC claimsthat it is “the most power-ful, most advanced, andmost refined truck in thebrand’s 111-year history.”

DesignLike the Silverado, the

Sierra doesn’t look muchdifferent from the previ-ous generation model, butactually, there are count-less changes. The big-gest changes come in theform of standard featuresthat are part of the Sierralineup but not part of theSilverado models.

On the base 1500, thoseinclude projector beamheadlights, the uniquethree-bar style grill, exclu-sive wheels, and the wheelarch body mouldings. Theresult is a look that feelsmore like a Cadillac than aChevrolet.

To further that feel-ing, customers can optfor the Denali edition.This features a signaturechrome grill, 20-inchchrome wheels, polishedstainless steel exhaust,and body-colour front andrear bumpers. The overalleffect is impressive, witha larger-than-life feel thatscreams “tough yet pol-

ished.”For the first time,

double cab models nowfeature front-hinged reardoors with outside pullhandles. This makes enter-ing and exiting easierin tight spaces. The rearbumper has corner stepsallowing you to climb intothe truck bed, regardlessof whether the tailgate isup or down. Once insidethe bed, the four standardupper tie downs can beplaced in nine differentlocations.

Off-road enthusiastsmay notice the lower chinspoiler added to the frontto improve aero efficiency.GM engineers made thispiece easily removable sothe truck can have betterground clearance.

The Sierra’s all-newcabin is the highlight ofthe package.

PerformanceLike its mechanical

twin, the Sierra featuresGM’s new EcoTec3 fam-ily of engines. Theseconsist of one V6 and twoV8’s designed to increasepower, torque and fuelefficiency. All three sharefuel saving technologies,which include direct injec-tion, continuously variablevalve timing, and activefuel management whichseamlessly deactivatescylinders during light-loaddriving.

The 4.3-litre V6 pumpsout 285 hp and 305 ft-lbs oftorque, which is the mosttorque of any standardV6 in the segment. Stepup to the 5.3-litre V8 andyou’ll get 355 hp and 383ft-lbs of torque. In 2WDtrim, this engine boastsan impressive highwayfuel consumption rating of8.7L/100km, which is thebest of any V8 pickup.

Sitting at the top of therange is a 6.2-litre V8. Itproduces 420 hp and 450ft-lbs of torque – the mosthorsepower and torque

of any light truck on themarket.

EnvironmentThe new interior is a

significant improvementcompared to the previousgeneration’s version. Thecabin has been simplified

with all of the controlsredesigned to be larger,easy to read, and simplerto operate.

The available IntelliLinkinfotainment system iseasier to use than Ford’ssystem too, with reason-ably intuitive feel even for

a first time user. It uses aHD, fully customizable,eight-inch touchscreenthat’s responsive with noconfusing menus.

Special mention mustbe given to the trailerbrake and AWD controls.Most trucks have these

located low and/or inawkward places, but in theSierra they are high on theleft side of the dash. Thismeans they are only a fewinches from your hand,making them convenient,especially in a hurry.

Sierra: Improved engine and control boost selling pointsRefineddriving:GMC’s 2014Sierra hasthe besttruck interioravailable onthe market.It also boastsa greatlyimprovedengine.

Contributed/burnaby now

FeaturesThe Sierra 1500 has a

starting price of $26,905Standard equipment

includes electronic stabilitycontrol, traction control,Trailer Sway Control, HillStart Assist and a lockingtailgate.

Additional features,available as options or onhigher trims, include alane departure warningsystem, forward colli-

sion warning, park assist,Safety Alert Seat, heatedfront seats, and a SnowPlow Prep Package.

Thumbs UpThe Sierra’s newly

refined cabin is the besttruck interior on the mar-ket. The improved enginesare also appreciated.Polished look inside andout.

Thumbs Down

While the cabin is com-fortable and practical, itwould be nice if it receiveda few unique details tomake the Sierra’s interiorfeel a bit more special thana Silverado’s. It’s a fullsize truck still, so it can beawkward to move aroundin town and to park inbusy places.

The Bottom LineThe Sierra’s refinement

Lakers nip talent-rich Island XVBurnaby Lake Rugby Club

defeated a talent-laden CastawayWanderers 18-8 in B.C. Rugby pre-mier division men’s play.

Burnaby’s high-scoring offencewas held to a pair of tries as two ofthe most dominant forward packsin the league slogged it out undera constant downpour and slipperyconditions at Burnaby Lake-East lastSaturday.

“It was a pretty slow game obvi-ously due to the wet weather butI just felt (Burnaby Lake) playedwell in the conditions and cameaway with the win,” said CastawayWanderers and national team propAndrew Tiedemann in a B.C. Rugbypress release.

Both packs had multiple repre-sentative level players with Burnabyfeaturing provincial reps ScottMacKay, Andrew Lackner, AnthonyLuca and Micha Govorchin.

Castaway’s roster includedCanada national team forwardsHubert Buydens, John Phelan andTiedemann, while its back linealso boasted Bears’ standout MattBuckley, as well as a national teamcentre pairing of Adam Kleebergerand Mike Scholz.

Burnaby Lake dominated theopening 15 minutes with the major-ity of possession that resulted in twopenalties inside their own half bystandoff Geoff Ryan to put his sideup 6-0.

The Island club replied frominside Burnaby’s 22 metre line,where Buckley’s long pass skipped

along the slick grass and bouncedinto the hands of winger JonnyMorris, who sprinted in for a try inthe corner.

With momentum in their favour,Castaway’s fortunes came to anabrupt halt, when a deep kick wasreturned 50 metres by 2013 pre-mier league player of the year JoeDolesau, who offloaded to his insidecentre Jeke Gotegote to run in atry for a 11-5 lead. Ryan added theextras and it was Burnaby up 13-5at the half.

The second frame was a closeaffair and it wasn’t until roughly 15minutes in when Castaway fullbackChad Northcott slotted a penalty toclose the gap to 13-8.

Burnaby remained committed to

its attack in the forwards, and afterseveral phases up front, the ballwent wide to prop Scott Mackay,who crashed over in the corner for atry. The tally was Mackay’s third inas many games for Burnaby.

“Knowing how many Canadatight-five players they had on theirroster definitely got us jacked up fortoday’s game,” said Mackay in therelease. “It was a hard-fought battleup front with their big pack andthey didn’t give us anything all day.We had to work for every inch.”

The two sides are idle this week-end with the premier league sched-ule set to resume on March 22, whenleague-leading Burnaby Lake andNo. 2 James Bay meet at MacDonaldPark on Vancouver Island.

The move:BurnabyLake’s JekeGotegote goeson a ramblein an 18-8 winover CastawayWanderersin premiermen’s rugbyat BurnabyLake-East lastSaturday.

And this benefit can be enhanced by light cooking.After slow-cooking your cornedbeef, add root vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the broth and cook until tender. Then add in loads of shredded cabbage and cook for only 5 minutesuntil softened. Avoid cooking the cabbage for too long or it will lose some of its health properties. Have a moderate serving of meat (2.5 oz) with a heartyserving (1-2 cups) of cabbage plus the other veggies for a traditional Irish meal. Don’t forget the pint of Guinness!
