‘Who’s going to pay for our hospitals?’

The longtime president of a local mari-na is coming out in favour of the KinderMorgan pipeline expansion, the number 1issue for Burnaby residents in the upcom-ing civic election.

For more than two decades David Harrishas been president of Reed Point Marina,on the boundary between Burnaby andPort Moody, and he says there’s supportin the business community for the pipelineexpansion.

“Most business people I talk to arenot in agreement with (Burnaby mayorDerek) Corrigan or (Gregor) Robertson,the mayor of Vancouver, because they arenot business people. They don’t recognizethat they need businesses to produce taxrevenue,” he told the NOW. “Who’s goingto pay for our hospitals or our schools?Not more government employees.”

Reed argued there’s no better tax rev-enue than that which comes from resourceindustries.

A handful of ambitious new facilitiesmay soon be popping up in Burnaby, fol-lowing council’s approval of amendments

to the city’s community benefit bonuspolicy.

On Monday, council made some chang-es to the policy, such as expanding theareas for location of amenities, prioritizingprojects and pooling funds gathered fromeach of the town centres to be spent in allof the city’s quadrants.

Furthermore, a presentation to coun-cil listed a half-dozen proposed proj-

Four independents may bevying for the mayor’s chair,but that’s not the only seat

being eyed by partyless candi-dates.

Former TEAM Burnaby can-didates Jeff Kuah and Tom Taohave thrown their hats into thering, announcing they are eachrunning for council. In the lastelection, Kuah ran for schoolboard under the TEAM banner,while Tao was the party’s may-oral candidate.

Prior to the 2011 elec-tion, Kuah ran for mayor inVancouver in 2008. He also ranas a B.C. Liberal for the Burnaby-

Edmonds riding in the 2013 pro-vincial election.

He’s giving municipal politicsanother go, riding on the 1750srevolutionary slogan “No taxa-tion without representation.”

“The people are sick and tired

of this majority in Burnaby, andI need to give them my leader-ship,” he said. “I just want tobring the revolution, that’s it. I’mthat kind of guy.”

Kuah, an educa-tor and recruitmentofficer in B.C., saidhe decided to runfor council instead ofschool board becausehe feels he can domore for Burnabyresidents on council.

In addition to hisrun for mayor threeyears ago, Tao ranagainst Corrigan forthe same spot in 2005 and alsoran as a councillor in 2002 and2008. The NOW was unable to

reach Tao for comment regardinghis current run, but his bio on theCity of Burnaby’s website stateshe demands transparency andaccountability.

Last time around,TEAM garnered 16.5per cent of the may-oral vote, 30.5 percent of the councilvote and 22.9 per centof the school boardvote.

Kuah and Tao willbe on the Nov. 15 bal-lot, running againstcouncil candidatesfrom the incumbent

Burnaby Citizens Associationand the opposing Burnaby FirstCoalition.

Costs are slightly decreasing for the firedepartment, according to its 2013 annualreport.

The report, which was released last month,indicates the department is doing a solid jobof keeping costs down while maintaining itslevel of service the City of Burnaby. Last year,the department cost citizens more than $35million or about $153 per capita, down $10per capita from the previous year, which sawthe department’s net expenditures total morethan $37 million.

Fire chief Doug McDonald credits the slightdecrease to the department’s tracking of itsfinances in order to stay within, if not under,the budget handed down by city council.

“It is public expenditures and we do getscrutinized for it, so we’re very tuned into ourmoney and making sure that we’re providingas good a service as we can for what we have,”

he said.In general, major expenditures for the

department include new vehicles, gear andequipment. One of the ways the departmentkeeps costs down is by keeping its vehiclesoff the road as much as possible, as fuel andmaintenance costs are high.

Most of the department’s big-ticket items, including fire trucks,command vehicles and ladder trucks,are on a 15-year lifecycle that deter-mines when the vehicles need tobe replaced. The lifecycles are dic-tated by government guidelines andindustry standards, and once thedepartment determines a vehicle hasreached its end, it is sold at an auctionfor a small profit.

The department prepares to pur-chase new vehicles years in advanceso when the time comes, they don’thave to go to city council asking for moremoney, McDonald said.

Every year, the department saves about$300,000 to $400,000 for future equipmentcosts. The funds are divided by the financedepartment into accounts for vehicles andgear to ensure there’s enough money available

down the road.“The money sits in those accounts until we

need to repurchase,” he said. “It’s tough to goback to council, or the public for that matter,and say, ‘Oh by the way we need a new firetruck, we need a million dollars.’ We have allthat money sitting and ready to go when our

trucks are due for replacement.”The department typically pur-

chases one new vehicle each year.This year, the department bought anew ladder truck, and a new com-mand vehicle is scheduled for nextyear, McDonald said.

But when it comes to staffing, thedepartment has been hiring fewerand fewer recruits because therehave been fewer retirements in thepast few years, McDonald said.

“We’re actually in the end of agreat big group that was hired back

in 1979. They’re kind of ending their 35 years,so most of those people are actually alreadyretired,” he said.

Nine recruits were hired in 2012 while onlysix were hired in 2013. This year, the depart-ment hired seven new recruits and next year,

people, and they use noservices. I am not keen (on)oil in the harbour anymorethan anyone else is, but thisport is a federal jurisdictionthat’s meant to ship out thecountry’s goods, includingpetroleum products,” hesaid.

Harris also claimedCorrigan’s opposition tothe Kinder Morgan expan-sion could encourage moreoil transportation by rail.

“They don’t needanybody’s approval toship more oil by rail. Theapprovals are already inplace, and that’s what he’sencouraging,” Harris said.“I’d like to see them goahead with the KinderMorgan pipeline. It’s by farthe safest thing to do.”

Harris seemed some-what dismissive of climatechange, stating he dis-agreed the science is settled,although NASA states 97per cent of climate changescientists agree globalwarming is happening andhumans are to blame.

“There’s too muchalarmists t u f f , ”H a r r i ss a i d .“ W e ’ l la d a p t ,a n da fewm o r et a n k -ers willmake itout ofthe har-

bour. It will get there any-way, and this is the safestplace to ship it out.”

Kinder Morgan wants toexpand the Trans Mountainpipeline, increasing vol-umes nearly three-fold,from 300,000 barrels of oilper day to 890,000. Themove would increase tank-er traffic on the BurrardInlet from roughly fivetankers a month to 34.

According to KinderMorgan, the current pipe-line contributes $7 mil-lion annually in tax rev-enue to Burnaby, while theexpansion is expected tobring in $13 million. LastNovember, Kinder MorganCanada president IanAnderson told the BurnabyBoard of Trade the compa-ny would prioritize hiringlocally whenever possibleand that there would beopportunities for Burnabycontractors, but the data hepresented showed most ofthe jobs would not be localhires.

The Burnaby workforcewould peak at about 600jobs, but there would onlybe an estimated 50 perma-nent post-construction jobsin all of B.C., according toAnderson.

Burnaby Board of Tradepresident Paul Holden said

his organization has not yettaken a stance on the pipe-line, although the boarddoes have commenter sta-tus for the National Energy

Board hearing.The board put together

a task force on the issueand met with roughly10 stakeholder groups to

come up with a statementfor the hearing. Holdensaid a position has yet tobe reviewed and approvedby the board, but it should

be ready “fairly soon.”The City of Burnaby

recently conducted its ownpoll, through Insights Westand found opposition to the

expansion was growing,from 61 per cent in June to68 per cent in September.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan willhave his day in court over his distracteddriving ticket from July 2013.

A court date has been set for Corrigan todispute the ticket he received in Burnaby,which cited use of an electronic devicewhile driving as the form of distraction. Heis scheduled to appear at Robson SquareProvincial Court on Monday, Jan. 5, 2015– 18 months after the alleged offence.

The NOW broke this news of the ticketin June, when Corrigan’s wife – Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan – was lob-bying for tougher distracted driving lawsas the Opposition critic for public safety atthe time.

“I disagreed with it fundamentally, andI think the officer was wrong and so I dis-

puted it immediately,” Corrigan told theNOW in the original story.

“It’s a minor infraction, and it’s one thatshould be dealt withpromptly,” he added,criticizing the provin-cial justice system. “Iwould’ve liked to havecleared it up a longtime ago and then itwouldn’t give peoplelike you what theybelieve to be a story.”

ICBC recentlypegged distracted driv-ing as the second lead-ing cause of fatal crash-es in B.C., and a few weeks ago, JusticeMinister Suzanne Anton announced stiff-er penalties for using a handheld devicewhile driving.

Chatty drivers now receive three demer-its, plus a $167 fine, for their first offence.ICBC has also upped insurance premiumsfor serial offenders, which now range from$175 (four points) to $24,000 (50 points).

McDonald said only aboutthree to five new recruitswould be hired.

While recruitment slowsdown, there is a chance thatin the coming years a new

station or expansion maybe required in response topopulation growth happen-ing in certain areas of thecity, including Brentwoodand Lougheed.

“As always, we’re try-

ing to plan for the future,so we’re always looking atwhat the impacts to the cityare going to be and the citi-zens, based on the growthand the density that’s hap-pening,” he said.

The two candidates run-ning to replace Jim Sinclairas president of the B.C.

Federation of Labour says a lotabout the state of organizedlabour these days.

Both candidates are formerlongtime public sector unionactivists. Amber Hockin was aCUPE staff member, while IreneLanzinger is a former presidentof the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

The fact they are both fromthe public side of labour, ratherthan the private sector, is a cru-cial distinction.

Organized labour’s relevancyand influence has waned con-siderably in the private sector.Just 16 per cent of the privatesector workforce in Canada isa member of a union (this com-pares to more than 70 per cent ofpublic sector workers).

It’s notable that, as of thiswriting, only public sectorunions had endorsed eithercandidate. I assume that eventu-ally some private sector unionswill back their candidacies, butclearly getting the backing ofthe more powerful public sectorunions is more important.

To the best of my know-

ledge, the B.C. Federation ofLabour has never been led bysomeone from a public sec-tor union (Sinclair was fromthe old United Fisherman’sUnion, while his predecessorKen Georgetti was from theUnited Steelworkers and beforehim presidents Art Kube, JimKinnaird and Len Guy were allprivate sector union activists).

As a result, will a schism formwithin the Fed itself, one thatpits the interests and prioritiesof public sector workers againstthose in the private sector? I’veheard grumbling from privatesector labour activists who feelthat Sinclair was pushed asideby public sector union interests.

And will either Hockin orLanzinger continue to work– as Sinclair and BuildingTrades Council president TomSigurdson did – with PremierChristy Clark in a quasi-part-nership to boost skills trainingefforts to get more people intothe trades to work on naturalresource projects?

Or will they fall back into amore antagonistic relationshipwith the government?

Whichever one of them wins,however, will mark a turningpoint in the history of organizedlabour in the province. Its glorydays – when it could literallyshut down the economy of B.C.– are clearly over, as it has large-ly become a government worker-dominated organization.

Put down the damn phone and pay attentionWhy do we have to keep writing

about something that seems so flat-outstupid?

Yes, we’re talking about distracteddriving – and the fact that theprovince of British Columbiafelt it necessary to increasethe penalties for that offencebecause drivers simply aren’t gettingthe message.

B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Antonjust announced new penalties, effec-tive Oct. 20, for drivers who are caught

talking on a hand-held device whiledriving. With the new penalties, driv-ers will get three demerit points, whichremain on a person’s driving record for

five years.The penalty for getting

more than one distracted driv-ing ticket in a year will be at

least $634: the total of two fines (at $167a pop), plus a $300 penalty premium forsix points.

On top of driver penalty points(which are paid by everyone even if

they don’t insure a vehicle), there areAutoplan insurance premium penalties,ranging from $175 for four points to$24,000 for 50 or more points.

We have to applaud the govern-ment’s insistence on tackling this prob-lem – which, sadly, doesn’t seem to begoing away on its own.

We were sure that, eventually,people would catch on to the fact thatdistracted driving is just as dangerousas drunk driving.

We can only hope that, eventually,

people will get the message – as manyhave with drunk driving – that drivingwhile chatting on a hand-held phone orwatching a DVD is a stupid move thatputs lives at risk.

In the meantime, we just have tosigh. How often can you say “Put downthe damn phone and pay attention tothe road” before you just give up indespair?

Here’s hoping that where words havefailed, money will talk loudly enoughthat drivers finally clue in.

Labour’s glorydays are gone

Mayor needs to admit hypocrisyDear Editor:

Re: Candidate cries foul, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 17.I should like to inform Sid Cleave, the city clerk,

that formally opposing the expansion of an existingpipeline is indeed to “get into the political side ofthings.”

Your equivocation is laughably ironic seeingthat the mayor’s team does not mind admitting sowhen it is door-knocking with Burnaby-DouglasMP Kennedy Stewart or complaining to ElectionsB.C., as reported by Jennifer Moreau.

Mr. Corrigan has, since May, therefore been inviolation of the relevant bylaw, and to suggest oth-erwise belittles the intelligence of this citizenry. It

is clear that the mayor is in the wrong, and, thoughyou may feel comforted by semantics and yourauthority, propagandistic euphemisms such as “for-mal city initiative” or “formal position” merely castdoubt upon the sincerity of your “staff.”

Mr. Corrigan needs, at least, to remove his anti-pipeline pamphlets from city property and to apolo-gize for being a hypocrite. The exemption of theruling class from its own laws is the foreshadowingof tyranny. Incidentally, I was recently phoned byanother local candidate, who, of course, I will notname, and informed that the mayor has authorizedpolitical material elsewhere on city property, insist-ing that it is in fact private property.

Regarding the supposed impartiality of Mr.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Corrigan’s stance, about which, I under-stand, some people are still undecided, Ishould like to give an analogy illustratingthe sheer folly behind the green mask. If apower line in Burnaby were to catch firebeneath the street, a manhole cover wereblown off by resulting steam and nearbyresidents needed to evacuate from thesmoke, would we accordingly all becomeof the opinion that electricity is dirty andcringe at further expansion of our alreadyexisting electrical power grid? Of coursenot, not even if a utility pole tipped over,a house caught fire and people died. Wewould, instead, take safety precautions.Trendy yuppies and most people my age,however, are nonetheless so fallacious intheir stern opposition to pipelines.

Might I ask what is bound to happento our economy and nation? Alternateenergy patents are being suppressed,their inventors threatened, and yet thepopulation is inclined to dismantle theoil industry? Why, should we all ridebicycles and trains? Mr. Corrigan, whodrives everyday, does, after all, recom-mend “alternate transportation.”

Yeah, perhaps we might just as well alltake out our light bulbs. Oh, but he doesnot mind compact fluorescent light bulbswith mercury in them, does he? I sup-pose that is good for our environment andhealth, so he subsidizes those.

Furthermore, Mars’ icecaps are melting,Jupiter is developing a second giant redspot, and the frozen nitrogen surface ofNeptune’s moon is melting as well.

On the other hand, the icecaps of Earthhave gotten bigger and denser, the planethas been cooling for nearly two decades,and all the while carbon emissions havebeen increasing. This is according to main-stream news, not conspiracy theories.Look it up and put that in your pipe andsmoke it.

Mothballs are no solutionDear Editor:

Re: Raccoons not a city issue, Letters tothe editor, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 15.

There was a letter to the editor that rec-ommended mothballs in the garden as adeterrent to raccoons. This is an absolutelywrong recommendation.

Several years ago, a neighbour camerushing to my house and asked me totake her dog to the vets. He had becomesuddenly violently ill. I carefully liftedthe dog into my car and rushed to thevet. Then I returned to her backyard andchecked around. An earlier renter hadput mothballs around the perimeter of thebackyard.

Unfortunately, the dog died a verypainful death. Mothballs are poisonousand should never be used.

Folly of the ‘green mask’

!It hasn’t made a final

decision on whether or notto give the Site C dam thegreen light, but there is anemerging impression thatany enthusiasm the B.C.Liberal government mayhave for the project is per-haps slowly waning.

That’s the impressionI got after receiving anout-of-the-blue phone calllast week from EnergyMinister Bill Bennett, aguy you can usually counton to display strong sup-port for anything that putsshovels in the ground andcreates jobs.

Bennett phoned todispute my earlier on-aircharacterization of him asbeing the chief cheerleaderfor Site C.

Not so, Bennett told

me. In fact, he said hewas genuinely torn aboutwhether the project shouldbe built, and recounted tome the validity of all theopposing views he’s heardalong the way.

More telling, perhaps,was his disclosure to methat the government cau-cus was “split” on whetherthe dam should be built.

Earlier that day, heacknowledged to themedia that the projectlacked any support fromFirst Nations, and he toldme he didn’t expect that tochange any time soon.

A lack of First Nationssupport (indeed, thereis instead considerableopposition to the projectfrom that constituency)is just one of the factorsstacking up against Site C.

Bennett admitted to

me that Site C’s estimatedprice tag of $8 billionwould add hugely to theprovince’s debt load, andthat was a concern. Healso admitted other, small-er energy projects may justas easily answer the needof the province’s futureenergy demands.

In summary, he listeda lot more reasons whythe dam shouldn’t be builtthan why it should. Andremember, Bennett isn’tthe kind of politician who“spins” things and sticksto a government messagebox.

He can be counted forbluntly telling you what hereally thinks, and for nowat least, he doesn’t seemto be on the Site C band-wagon.

It seems drivers in Burnaby still don’t under-stand the dangers of using their handheld deviceswhile driving.

Between April and October of this year, BurnabyRCMP have issued 1,606 tickets for distracteddriving, or about 267 each month since April.

According to ICBC, distracted driving is theleading cause of crash fatalities in B.C., with aboutone-quarter of all fatalities related to distracteddriving between 2009 and 2013.

In 2013, the department issued more than3,375 distracted driving tickets, or about 281 eachmonth. Now, if each driver was charged the $167fine in 2013 – which is unlikely because repeat

offenders receive higher fines – that amounts to$565,000.

In a recent interview with the NOW, Sgt. DaveBell of the department’s traffic services said theproblem is not going to go away any time soon,especially when inattentive driving has become agrowing trend throughout society.

“Inattentiveness is a systemic problem, andthat’s why I think the statistics are misleadingbecause we focus on the use of cellphones, butthat’s not the only problem,” Bell told the NOW.

Mounties handed out nearly 400 distracteddriving tickets in July and August alone, and inBell’s opinion, these numbers are low becauseoften officers can’t ticket or charge someone forinattentive driving because it would be too dif-ficult to prove in court.

Crackdown: Burnaby RCMP were out in full force last month for adistracted driving blitz. The blitz was part of the department’s ongoingefforts to crack down on the dangerous habit.

the program is expected to generate another $30 millionper year. However, she noted that the money is meantsolely for amenities and is separate from the city’s capitalreserves.

“This is not to take the place of our regular capitalprogram, it’s not to take the place of fixing aging infra-structure – this is to add additional amenities in exchangefor the additional density that is coming to our city,” shesaid.

Coun. Anne Kang praised staff for its proposed invest-ments in the Cameron library branch, while Coun. DanJohnston expressed excitement for the performance centreat Metrotown.

“The one thing that Metrotown’s been slow to haveover the past few years is event space that citizens cancome to and be part of a community,” he said, suggestingthat a musician of the calibre of Gordon Lightfoot couldperform there.

Before voting on the matter, Corrigan reiterated Coun.Jordan’s comments regarding the separation of the capitalreserves and bonus fund and addressed the size of thecity’s capital reserves, maintaining that Burnaby is “oneof the fiscally most responsible cities.”

“It’s like, you get a new roof put on your house andthen you begin saving for the next roof that you will haveto buy,” he said. “That’s what we’ve done over the courseof many, many years.

“We’re going to have to replace the things that webuild, and good public policy is to make sure that wesave the money to be able to do that in the future so thatsome future generation isn’t going to have to go out andborrow.”

It is nice when somethinggood comes out of a badsituation. That is certainly

the case with charity fundraiserSusan Oliver.

Oliver, 17, a first-year sci-ences student at Simon FraserUniversity and canvasser forVariety – The Children’s Charity,was badly injured in a gruesomeall-terrain vehicle (ATV) acci-

dent outside of Victoria, aboutfour years ago. She was pinnedagainst a tree by the ATV and itsspinning wheels caused exten-sive burns to her stomach, legsand feet. It took over a year andseveral surgeries for Oliver torecover.

It was during her year ofgoing in and out of hospital thatOliver decided she would workto help others in need, once shewas better.

Variety stepped in to pay forher physiotherapy treatments,expensive pressure bandages(about $1,800 a pair), and customorthotics to help her learn towalk again.

“I know that they helped me,so I want to kind of provide for

other people who might needmoney,” Oliver said of Variety.

For the last three years, Oliverhas fundraised in various waysfor the charity (she performed adance at the Variety telethon lessthan a year after her accident).

Since Oct. 1, she has beenfundraising to help childrenwho have special needs throughVariety’s Kid Champions pro-gram (formerly called the KidsCoin Drive for Variety).

“It takes teamwork to makea difference, and by taking thelead, our champions are achiev-ing little victories every day,”said Bernice Scholten, executivedirector of Variety, in a pressrelease about Oliver.

Oliver is running a bottle

drive, and there is a SusanOliver online page through theVariety B.C. website (variety.bc.ca) where people can donate.

According to Oliver, helpingothers has made her look at heraccident in a new way.

“Four years ago, I didn’treally find any positives aroundthe incident, but now I can seewhat I can make out of it. I havebeen introduced to new peopleand new opportunities havearisen that I wouldn’t have hadthe chance (to know or do),” shesaid.

Her decision to explore thesciences in university was alsoinspired by her ordeal.

“When I was in the hospi-tal – and all the doctors and

nurses, they were so helpful andI thought maybe it would be agood career for me to go into aswell,” she said.

“I hope anything that hap-pens in my life that is negative,I want to try and find the goodin it.”

To help Oliver’s efforts, dropa few coins into the Variety coinbox at your favourite grocerystore, donate online at variety.bc.ca, or contact David Coons,director, fund development at604-320-0505 or [email protected].

Approximately 82 per centof donations to Variety – TheChildren’s Charity, go directly tothose in need.

Burnaby Parkinson’s Super Walk inSeptember brought in less than half thefunds it took in last year, and local orga-nizers are urging people to pitch in.

“We are hoping for more funds to comein, as neither the Parkinson Society orParkinson research receives any govern-ment funding,” organizer Linda Dawsonwrote in a press release. “We, of course,

are working towards a cure.”This year’s walk at the Confederation

Park track Sept. 8 drew 69 participants,20 more than last year, but pulled in only$4,255, compared to almost $10,000 in2013.

Supporters, however, can still donateuntil Dec. 12 – online at www.parkinson.bc.ca or by mail to 600-890 W. Pender St.,Vancouver, BC, V6C 1J9.

The annual Super Walk is ParkinsonSociety Canada’s biggest fundraiser.

Funds pay for support services, research,advocacy and education.

– Cornelia Naylor

Super Walk results notquite super enough

Parkinson’s Society hopespeople will still pitch in tohelp provide needed money

It’s Official: The National Sleep FoundationMakes Its Selection

Discover Great Sleep Just Like these People

Minnesota Man Miraculously Invents The World’s Most Comfortable Pillowand is Finally Validated!Chanhassen, MN - You know how the oldsaying goes: never count a person out. Wesay this in reference to the down-and-outcharacter who made it to the heights of hisdreams, pulling himself up by his bootstrapsto achieve success. Are there real peoplewith lives so incredible, they just need to betold? You be the judge.

Meet Mike Lindell, an inventor and entre-preneur whose story is the stuff from whichfamous sayings are born. Lindell reallyenjoys sharing how he overcame the kind oflife many others know well, too. His storygoes like this:

Throughout the 80s and 90s, Lindell strug-gled with addictions. With no regard formaking choices to improve his life Lindellsays, “I had taken my addictions to thelimit and could not go on one more dayliving that way.” He recognized the desirefor more and wanted to positively impactpeople. So overnight and with the grace ofGod, Mike Lindell stopped his addictivebehavior and found a new way.

ABetter Path

With a clear head and focused mind, Lin-dell set out to solve a problem he’d expe-rienced since boyhood. He says, “Even asa youngster I suffered from a lack of good,quality sleep.” Lindell had gone to greatlengths to get a good night’s sleep, evenspending an entire paycheck at age 16 onan expensive pillow in hopes of curing hissleep woes but to no avail. Lindell wouldtoss and turn at night, fold his pillow inhalf, use his arm for support, only to wakemore tired than when he went to sleep. Tostudy his issues more deeply, Lindell con-sulted with experts in the sleep industry andafter gathering all the data (as well as andstories from friends), more than ever Lin-dell recognized and understood the harmfuleffects of poor sleep. Even more so, Lindellrealized the effect of sleep interruptionspermeate the lives of all walks of people.Lindell continues, “I was acutely aware ofwhat was wrong but still needed to answerthe biggest question of all, WHY?”

Eureka Moment

Process of elimination led Lindell to

Inventor, Manufacturer and C.E.O. of MyPillow®, Inc., Michael J.Lindell. Chanhassen, MN is where The World’s Most ComfortablePillow is made and your best night’s sleep is created.

In the early days, Mike and family spent countless hours handmaking each MyPillow. This dedication to “doing it right” hashelped MyPillow to become a classic tale of success.

• TMJ & Fibromyalgia• Insomnia• Neck & Back Pain• Mental Degradation

• Colds, Allergies & Flu• Heart Disease• Diabetes• Obesity

MyPillow’s patented fill adjusts to your individual needs. Accordingto WebMD, a “Good Night’s Sleep” may help reduce the risk of:

Olga B. wrote; “My life’smission to find a perfect pillowfor me, has ended after 45 years!I can’t express just how muchI love these pillows and thento make the deal even better,they’re washable, and get this...made in the U.S.A. to boot. Youcan’t top that. I have had mine fortwo years and they feel like thefirst night I slept on them, really!”

Jacqueline H. wrote; “I was diagnosedwith various sleep issues. Until then I’d hadno idea why my sleep was so interruptedthroughout the night. I watch Imus eachmorning and heard endless testimonialsabout MyPillow. I took Imus’ advice andordered a MyPillow. I now wake up restedand ready to conquer the day ahead. Inever travel anywhere without MyPillow.Thank you for helping me remember whatit’s like to sleep like a baby!”

• Drowsy Driving• Migraines• Snoring & Sleep Apnea• Restless Leg Syndrome

discover the villain and cause of his sleepdeprivation was none other than the pillowhe was sleeping on. So Lindell tried “everypillow in the world,” but found commonpillows did not provide adequate supportfor cervical alignment. “Most pillows causesleep interruptions by going flat, heating upand causing you to toss and turn all nighttrying to readjust the pillows over to thecool side,” Lindell explains. “The effectprevents people from enjoying the unin-terrupted REM sleep our bodies need torejuvenate and heal.” Lindell theorized thata pillow providing proper support of thecervical nerves and vertebral arteries wouldallow users to get the deep healing sleepthey want and need. So he set out to inventand manufacture “The World’s Most Com-fortable Pillow.”

Four Million People Can’t Be Wrong

Year after year, Lindell marketed the pil-lows he’d created throughout the country atshows and expos during the day and workedalongside his family at night to make thepillows. He also spent time talking withconsumers about their personal sleep frus-trations. Lindell’s MyPillow is designedto conform to each individual’s supportneeds. It is washable and dryable, stayscool and is guaranteed not to go flat for 10years. Lindell even provides a 60-day, noquestions asked money-back guarantee.Though Lindell was originally told by thebig bedding companies that his unorthodoxbusiness plan would put him out of busi-ness, his company now boasts more than300 employees, maintains an A+ BetterBusiness Bureau rating, and offers duty-freeshipping from a distribution plant located inManitoba, Canada. Recently MyPillow wasselected as the National Sleep Foundation’sonly ever official pillow, and in 2013 wasawarded the prestigious QStar Award for“Product Concept of the Year” by QVC.Lindell himself has become well-recognizeddue to his frequent infomercial airings andguest appearances on shows such as Imus inthe Morning. All this time later Lindell sayshe has learned the value of making choicesthat, “not only better my own life, but alsoimprove the lives of others.” His is a storythatis so unique, it simply has to be true.
