Bloy disappointed Burnaby won’t participate Mayor says city is already working with ministry, Fraser Health Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Liberal MLA Harry Bloy (BurnabyLougheed) says Burnaby city hall will be missing out on a chance to share its opinions on the future of Burnaby Hospital with the public. Bloy was responding to comments by Mayor Derek Corrigan at a recent council meeting that he and city staff were participating in the “of¿cial”
planning process for the hospital’s redevelopment with the Ministry of Health, Fraser Health Authority and Burnaby Hospital Foundation. As for the 12-member Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee, struck by Bloy and fellow Liberal MLA Richard Lee (BurnabyNorth), Corrigan called it a “political organization.” Bloy took umbrage with the description and expressed disappointment at Burnaby’s stance. “It’s saddening for the people of Burnaby that council and staff won’t

be participating in our citizens’ forum,” he said. “The committee was announced by the Minister of Health. I don’t know how much more of¿cial you can get.” While the consultation committee is not the only process going on simultaneously, it’s “an important part of the process.” When asked why a representative from the City of Burnaby and nurses currently working at the hospital were not included on the committee, Bloy said “nobody was slighted ... you couldn’t put everyone on the
committee.” He noted that there is also no representation from the City of Vancouver despite the hospital serving much of east Vancouver. “This is about citizens sitting down and willing to spend their own time without being compensated at all with no special interests looking at what’s best for Burnaby Hospital,” he said. “We picked what we thought was a fair representation of the citizens of Burnaby and the needs for the hospital.” Please see ‘JUST A POLITICAL EFFORT’, A3

The long awaited public consultation process on the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline is set to start in September, said a Kinder Morgan Canada spokesperson. The company plans to twin the pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, increasing capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 750,000 bpd to allow for increased exports overseas of bitumen crude oil from the Alberta oil sands. Lexa Hobenshield, the company’s external relations manager, said if the expansion proceeds, 510,000 bpd of that capacity would serve the ¿xed 20-year contracts customers recently committed to, while the rest would serve monthto-month customers. Those would include Chevron’s Burnaby re¿nery and others that have struggled in the last couple years with the limitations of a pipeline that has been “oversubscribed.” see TOO EARLY, A4

‘Just a political effort’: Corrigan continued
PHOTOS BY MARIO BARTEL
from FRONT PAGE
The committee will hold eight to 10 meetings to hear presentations from groups and individuals and is scheduled to report back to Fraser Health on its ¿ndings by the end of September. “City hall, they have some opinions on where they think the hospital should be and I think they should come and present them to us,” Bloy said, referring to a proposal that the hospital be moved to the former Willingdon Youth Correction Centre across from B.C. Institute of Technology. “Different is good because it opens up all the options. I think they should come and say what they’re looking at to help everybody move forward.” For his part, Corrigan maintains that the committee is a political process and that city hall has chosen to be involved on a technical level with ministry and Fraser Health staff. “We’re actively involved and engaged in the process, we’re just not participating in the political process and that’s because Harry didn’t invite us to be on his committee.”
Korean War remembrance
CHOICEquotes
More than 26,000 Canadians served in the Korean War from 1950-53; 516 never returned. Their sacriÀce was honoured Saturday in a special service at the Ambassador of Peace monument in Burnaby’s Central Park. The remembrance for Korean War veterans was put on by the Western Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association, and included guests from various levels of government, as well as the Consul General of Korea. After the service, members of the Korean community put on a special picnic for the veterans.
Mayor Derek Corrigan I don’t disparage that political effort but I think when Harry says he’s being sad I think those are crocodile tears.
An invitation to Burnaby to submit input to the committee was addressed to the city’s bylaw department, he noted. He dispelled the notion that the group is a citizens committee, pointing out that not only are Bloy and Lee heading the group, the citizen chair, Pamela Gardner, is a former Liberal riding president for Burnaby-Edmonds. “I mean, after all, they didn’t include the MLA from that area, did they?” That would be the mayor’s wife, Kathy Corrigan, MLA for BurnabyDeer Lake, the riding where the hospital is located. “So if it was non-partisan then they would have asked the MLA from the local hospital’s riding to participate with them but they didn’t. That shows you it’s just a political effort,” the mayor said. “I don’t disparage that political effort but I think when Harry says he’s being sad I think those are crocodile tears. I think Harry is simply trying to suggest that we’re not participating when in fact we are.” • The ¿rst public meeting of the Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee is Thursday, June 28, 4 to 7 p.m. at Bonsor Community Centre, 6550 Bonsor Ave. To register to speak, email mybbyhospital@hotmail.com.

A map of the pipeline route recently commissioned by Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart includes other pipelines owned by the company, such as the jet fuel line, or owned by others that would not be impacted by the project, the company said.

Too early to know what properties will be impacted, company says continued

Hobenshield explained that 25 to 30 per cent of the existing 1,150-km pipeline is already twinned, so the company will be applying to the National Energy Board (NEB) to twin the remaining 900 km. Kinder Morgan will ¿le its expansion application with the NEB in late 2013, which will include a “potential corridor.” If the NEB gives the go-ahead to the project, then the company would come up with a detailed speci¿c route which would go through its own NEB approval process. As for the map of the current pipeline route recently commissioned by BurnabyDouglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, Hobenshield said it includes other pipelines owned by the company, such as the jet fuel line, or owned by others. She stressed that only the mainline system would be affected by the expansion project. Stewart has also been raising awareness of the potential for property along the route to be expropriated for the project if it goes ahead. “The Lower Mainland is a very good example of an area where we will need to look at alternatives [to the existing corridor],” she said. “Final decisions on routing will be done both through our consultation process and through routing studies.” The 60-year-old pipeline has long had easement agreements

Charge laid against truck driver A criminal charge has been approved against a cement truck driver as a result of his runaway vehicle running over and killing a Coquitlam man on East Columbia next to Hume Park in New Westminster last year. On April 19, 2011, 26-year-old Coquitlam resident and father Mark Holmes was driving along East Columbia when a cement truck coming down Holmes Street—which is extremely steep—barrelled through a red light and hit Holmes’ car. Both vehicles tumbled over an embankment into Hume Park. Crown counsel has approved a charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death against Mohammad Abdolmalekpoor, 43, of Burnaby.
Four motor vehicle act charges have also been submitted for driving without due care and attention, driving without reasonable consideration, failure to ensure vehicle in safe operating condition, and operating a vehicle without effective service brakes. His Âżrst scheduled court appearance is set for July 9.
Suspect arrested A Vancouver man wanted for an alleged sexual assault at a Burnaby SkyTrain station has been arrested in Montreal. The assault happened shortly after midnight Feb. 18 at Edmonds SkyTrain station where a 22-year-old Vancouver woman was approached while waiting for the train. She was asked for the
time then assaulted several times while getting on and off the train, according to Transit Police. The suspect was arrested with the help of a friend of the victim and later released with conditions and a promise to appear in court. When the suspect breached the conditions, Transit Police obtained a Canada wide warrant for his arrest. The suspect was located in Montreal where Montreal police arrested him and remanded him in custody. He will be transported back to Vancouver to appear in court this week. Charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of breach of recognizance is George Harvey Roti, 23, of no Âżxed address in Vancouver.

He also praised Crown counsel and Coquitlam RCMP Victim Services for their support over the last two years. “I hope he’s found guilty,� the father said of the man who allegedly assaulted his daughter. “And I certainly hope he isn’t able to teach anymore and he isn’t able to be with kids in any capacity.� He wants to see the school board implement new policies to prevent similar incidents in the future. Plehanov is alleged to have touched students inappropriately soon after he started teaching in Coquitlam School District in 2007 and, although he was cautioned by fellow teachers and principals, and reported to the BC College of Teachers in 2009, nobody called police. The touching reportedly included girls sitting on Plehanov’s lap and him touching their shoulders, bottoms, stomachs and lower pelvic area, and is alleged to have continued until the parents of one girl reported the incident to police in March 2010. Plehanov was arrested about a week later. The defence has argued Plehanov was an ineffectual teacher who misunderstood the boundaries between teachers and students. Helps also argued much of the girls’ allegations were clouded by conversations with their friends and parents. facebook.com/burnabynews

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Force of nature
LAST WEEK:
So far Burnaby and New Westminster have been spared the full fury of a Àooding Fraser River. Communities in low-lying areas further upstream are mustering volunteers and emergency personnel to shore up dikes and erect walls of sandbags to protect homes and valuable farmland. Some residents have been evacuated. But as the river rushes towards its delta, the rising waters remain a curious spectacle along the Fraser Foreshore and Westminster Quay. Not that of¿cials in Burnaby and New West aren’t worried. The City of Burnaby recently completed work to raise the dike between Byrne and Tillicum roads to comply with the latest Àood level guidelines. The rest of the $6 million project to raise all the dikes from Boundary Road to the New Westminster border will be completed by 2014. The City of New Westminster, meanwhile, has placed giant sandbags in strategic locations along its waterfront, from the Braid industrial area to the Kruger paper mill and Queensborough. Some underground parkades along the Quay have been closed. Both communities are monitoring the river with regular patrols along its shore. Rapid snowmelt in the B.C. Interior combined with heavy rain throughout the spring have swelled the river to its highest levels in 30 years. The last time riverside communities were on such high alert was 2007, but a cool, dry spell diminished the threat. With more rain in the forecast this week, the worst could yet come as high water meets high tides in the Lower Fraser. For most of the year the Fraser is a nautical highway, transporting goods, teeming with salmon that end up on our barbecues. But every once in a while it likes to remind us that it’s also a force of nature.

‘Poverty’ declines, nobody notices VICTORIA – You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reÀects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.) This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it
Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca
isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inÀation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.”

Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP governmentin-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen.

Here’s one. For what may be the ¿rst time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to de¿ne it.

COMMENT
QUALITY, SERVICE & VALUE
Put the blame where it belongs Re: Choosing work instead of welfare (BC Views, NewsLeader, Jan. 20) This column illustrates one of my biggest pet peeves. Why do we continually bash the poor who need a helping hand and blame them for our economic woes, along with teachers? Tom Fletcher talks of the Greek tailspin where “... a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work...” In reality, the “majority” expecting a free handout is the increasingly rich one per cent who, in Canada, pay a mere 15 per cent taxes while the “shrinking majority” see their tax bills escalate year after year. Why not go after the real culprits—the very rich, the large global corporations who have seen their tax breaks increase, and their tax bills decrease dramatically in recent years. Stop blaming the poor. Put the blame where it belongs. Clare O’Kelly, Burnaby
BREATH OF FRESH AIR Tom Fletcher is like a breath of fresh air. I hope you will give him a voice for many years to come! Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby
TIME TO PUT FAMILIES FIRST With next year’s election looking like a rout of historical proportions, the BC Liberals are probably beginning to think about the legacy they’ll leave behind once they’re erased from political relevance. If Liberals are expecting accolades in their future for the job they’ve done governing British Columbia in the past 11 years, they’re going to be sorrily mistaken. Statistics Canada has pointed out that for the 12th year in a row, British Columbia has the highest poverty rate in Canada among all provinces and territories. B.C. is also one of only two provinces that do not have a dedicated poverty reduction plan, even though such legislation has been proposed by the BC New Democrats and languishes in the Legislature. At least one streak was broken this year, though it’s hard to imagine that it was through the policies of the Liberals. B.C. ¿nally does not have the worst child poverty rate in the country,
but having more than 11 per cent of all children in poverty is hardly a sign of an enlightened government. Christy Clark told the province that she would put Families First if she became premier. She’s been premier for a year now, and the only family she’s put ¿rst is her own. It’s time for the premier to show her words have meaning, and to enact comprehensive reform to address poverty throughout the province. Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby
HOSPITAL COMMITTEE OFFICIALLY EMPOWERED Re: MLA-led committee not of¿cial planning process for Burnaby Hospital: Corrigan (NewsLeader, June 15) Contrary to the claim made by Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, Minister of Health Mike de Jong did, in fact, of¿cially empower the My Bby Hospital community consultation committee through the committee’s two MLA members. What the Minister of Health empowered our committee to do was to seek out the ideas that really matter from the people on the ground: the patients and family members who use the hospital; the doctors and nurses who work in the hospital; the other staff who work in the hospital and keep it running; and anyone else who has seen or experienced something about the hospital that could potentially make it better. The My Bby Hospital committee has been tasked with engaging the citizenry in a very direct and meaningful way using various communication pathways including social media (e.g., on Facebook www.facebook/ mybbyhospital and Twitter @ mybbyhospital). Our committee isn’t looking exclusively for the big “macro” ideas so much as we are seeking ideas at the human scale and the patterns that could emerge. That is where the real solutions are hiding and that is where our committee has been tasked to look and to engage our fellow citizens. As a volunteer member of the all-volunteer My Bby Hospital committee, I hope Mayor Corrigan and the members of council will reconsider their view
Your Burnaby New Westminster Retrofit Window Experts of our committee and its working mandate. We sincerely want to engage with Mayor Corrigan and the members of council in a positive, constructive way and have their thoughts, insights and ideas be part of our process.

THE HEIGHT DEBATE Re: Metrotown towers too high: resident I love all the new towers coming up and can’t wait to see what the city Burnaby will become. Gwyn Vose Bring on the towers. There is no more room to grow horizontally, we need to grow vertically to handle the inÀux of new residents. While the concern for city services is valid, it is something that can be ¿xed by adding/ expanding services in the area. It seems to be a common argument that is used against any new development. Not to mention typical highrises come with a lot of amenities such as gyms, saunas, games rooms, etc., so it does not necessarily mean that Bonsor will get overcrowded, which the complainant living in an older low-rise may not be aware of. Miguel Reimer I ¿nd it interesting that many of the people who are replying are not even in the Metrotown area. As a result, they may not be aware of how crowded and busy the area is already. I’m not against development, but there should be a limit to how high these things go. It’s not just Bonsor. It’s all the city services in the area. The library, police, ¿re and transit. Soon we’ll be packed in like sardines. There needs to be a balance between development and livability. Carly H. Franklin Cry me a freaking river—bring on the towers! Great addition! John Skrotzki What’s ironic is that four years ago we proposed towers this high on the other side of the mall and the city didn’t go for it. I guess the times they are a changing, but public opinion stays the same... Sean Ruthen Go for it.

Fuel cell plant opens The new Mercedes-Benz fuel cell production and technology development facility, which has created 50 jobs, saw its grand opening in South Burnaby last Thursday. As announced in March 2011, Mercedes-Benz has converted a 3,300 square metre section of a Ballard Power facility, investing $53 million in the new plant, according to a provincial government press release. After a testing and commissioning phase, production of compact nextgeneration fuel-cell stacks will start in 2013, with the stacks being shipped to Germany for use in sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class or E-Class. Mercedes-Benz’ parent company, Daimler, is a 50.1 per cent partner in the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation (AFCC), along with Ford Motor Company (30 per cent) and Ballard (19.9 per cent), which has developed the fuel cell stack technology. The fuel cells are like large batteries powered by hydrogen which create electricity with only water vapour as emissions. The cells are stacked together as in a CD rack for use in vehicles. Already, the fuel cell stack is being used in the Mercedes-Benz B-Class

F-CELL and the Citaro FuelCell Hybrid city bus. At the time, a Mercedes-Benz Canada spokeswoman said the decision to locate the facility in Burnaby had much to do with it being close to Ballard. In collaboration with B.C.’s world-class fuel cell research and development cluster, MercedesBenz is working toward reducing the cost of fuel cell technology for future generations, the release said. “We applaud the province’s multi-faceted, forward-thinking approach that has encouraged the concentration of many brilliant minds focused on research and development in this region,â€? said Tim A. Reuss, president and CEO, Mercedes-Benz Canada. “There is no better place to open the world’s Âżrst facility dedicated to the production and production technology development of fuel cell stacks.â€? Seventy-seven per cent of the world’s fuel cell research and development expenditure happens in B.C. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby to sign RCMP contract under duress: Corrigan Will study options, consider opting out with two years notice Wanda Chow burnabynewsleader.com
Burnaby is Âżnally signing the new 20-year RCMP contract, but Mayor Derek Corrigan doesn’t plan to let up on his criticism of the deal. After all, Burnaby council had enough concerns about the contract it recently asked the province for a two-year extension to allow the city to study its options, including alternatives to an RCMP force. In response, “we got a threatening letter from the minister,â€? said Corrigan of Attorney General Shirley Bond. Bond was “threatening penalties,â€? he said, and indicated cities that didn’t sign would be non-compliant with the requirement to have a police force in
the community. They would also have to bear additional costs for integrated police teams and the loss of the federal subsidy provided to RCMP detachments. “There was potential that by refusing to sign, we could cost the taxpayer money which was never our intention.� In fact, the whole reason for cities holding out was uncertainties over what the contract would cost taxpayers in the end, he said. “I think the mayors pretty unanimously said, look, this is under protest,� Corrigan said. “We’re doing this simply because of the threat not because we’re in agreement.� Bond’s letter indicated that if holdout cities wanted to study alternatives to the RCMP, they could do so and then use the contract’s opt-out clause to give two years notice before changing
to a different policing system, he noted, adding whether there will be consequences to that is yet to be determined. “That’s something municipalities are talking to the ministry about now, about whether or not there’s any surprises that would come if we decide to opt out given the appropriate two years notice.� Unpleasant surprises is what the holdout has been all about. From largerthan expected wage increases, to the possibility municipalities will have to pay for the new $1.2-million RCMP E Division headquarters being built in Surrey, continue to be outstanding issues. Corrigan said the federal government arbitrarily decided the RCMP’s wages would be the average of the three highest-paid police departments in Canada. When “the budget realities hit them, they said no� and only gave two per cent. In response, the RCMP sued and won. If the litigation continues to be successful, Ottawa has yet to decide whether cities will have to pay the cost of
any retroactive wage increases that result. “Those are the kind of time bombs that were left for us, that we have no idea when this additional cost could be sprung on us and when municipalities might have to come up with millions of dollars in back pay if they lose on appeal.� Burnaby will join North Vancouver City and Coquitlam in signing the contract, while a few remaining cities, including Richmond, Port Coquitlam and North Vancouver District, are still weighing whether to sign ahead of a provincially imposed end-of-June deadline, which has already been extended twice. One policing study will be mounted by the North Vancouver municipalities, looking at the potential to partner with West Vancouver’s municipal police force, or form their own. Another study will examine much the same issues for Richmond, Burnaby, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam, possibly looking at links to the municipal forces in New Westminster, Port Moody and Delta.

The melt of a record snowpack in the B.C. Interior and heavy spring rains have combined to raise the level of the Fraser River as high as it’s been for 30 years. While communities upstream cope with Áooding, residents of New Westminster and Burnaby watch the spectacle from Westminster Quay and Fraser Foreshore.

It started out as just another sleepy Saturday morning in the Laleggia household in Burnaby when son Joey’s cellphone rang. His mom, Carla, heard him say, “Hello” and after a brief pause Joey started screaming and yelling. Believe it or not, she hasn’t stopped smiling ever since. “It was awesome!” said Carla on Monday. “It was an indescribable LALEGGIA feeling.” It turns out Joey was screaming for Joy because he was getting a chance at his lifelong dream. At the other end of the line was Joey’s hockey advisor telling him he had been drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the ¿fth round of the NHL entry draft, 123rd overall, that was taking place in Pittsburgh. It was the third year he was eligible for the draft having been passed over the previous two years likely because he’s a defenceman that’s just ¿ve-foot-10. “We were just so happy someone took notice this year,” said Carla. “It’s something he’s wanted for a long, long time. It’s just such a nice opening of a door.” Saturday turned into quite a celebratory day in the Laleggia house since sister Natalie was having her SFU graduation party. “It was absolutely a thrilling, thrilling day,” said Carla. Sunday turned out to be Joey’s 20th birthday, and on Monday he was on a Àight to Edmonton to participate in the Oilers’ summer prospect camp. Joey just completed his ¿rst year with the University of Denver Pioneers where he was named national rookie of the year for scoring 11 goals and 27 assists with a plus-13 rating. The previous two seasons he spent in the B.C. Hockey League with the Penticton Vees, winning the BCHL MVP award in 2010-11. Although it may take a while, there’s a chance he’ll eventually be reunited with another Burnaby boy, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who the Oilers took ¿rst overall in the 2011 entry draft and just ¿nished second in NHL rookie of the year voting. The pair played together on the Burnaby Winter Club (BWC) major bantam team and the Northwest Giant major midget squad that played out of the BWC. In fact, the Laleggia family vacationed in Las Vegas last week and ran into Nugent-Hopkins attending the NHL awards. Carla said NugentHopkins told Joey he was going to put in a good word with Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini. “I told Joey you give Ryan a big hug because I’m sure he had lots of good things to tell Mr. Tambellini,” said Carla. Laleggia played on the Giants with two other players taken Saturday. Right winger Colton Sisson was taken 50th overall by the Nashville Predators after playing two seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Kelowna Rockets. One pick behind Sissons was defenceman Dalton Thrower, who played three seasons for the Saskatoon Blades. He was selected by the Montreal Canadiens. Two other former Giants were also picked. Defenceman Grif¿n Reinhart went fourth overall to the New York Islanders while Alex Kerfoot was taken in the ¿fth round, 150th overall by the New Jersey Devils. Both are sons of famous father. Paul Reinhart is a former NHL defenceman, including the Vancouver Canucks, while Kerfoot’s dad Alex is a Burnaby native who owns the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Students at Simon Fraser University campus in Burnaby: new loan rules tie repayment to income and dependents.
Student loan payment rules eased Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca
The B.C. and federal governments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting July 1. The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed. The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount. A single parent with two children and an average annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero. A
student couple with two children, combined income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87. Premier Christy Clark said the new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict income-based limits for loan repayment that didn’t reÀect loan size or number of dependents. “It’s going to be a really big bene¿t for people who might ¿nd themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said. “Just because you’re $1,000 better off in your gross income doesn’t mean it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pay everything back.” The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan
principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time. Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years. B.C. student loans given out before Aug. 1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan system effective July 1. Loan recipients are supposed to receive a new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan. People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the integrated loan program by making at least six monthly loan payments in a row on their defaulted loan or repaying it in full. twitter.com/tomÁetcherbc

The new Port Mann Bridge is now structurally complete. The last gap in the bridge deck of the new tolled crossing was closed last Thursday and Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom was among the ¿rst to walk across from Coquitlam to Surrey. The electronically tolled bridge opens to traf¿c in December. “Today we crossed the new Port Mann Bridge on foot, but it won’t be long before cars are making the crossing and drivers get to enjoy a faster, more ef¿cient commute,” Lekstrom
said. “It’s going to be a huge bene¿t to the public here in the Lower Mainland.” The steel girders that closed the centre span were lifted and ¿xed in place earlier this week. Concrete deck panels were lowered into position using gantry cranes positioned at the end of the centre span. Soon, crews will start pouring concrete to cast those panels in place. In coming months, crews will place expansion joints between bridge segments, complete waterproo¿ng and pave the new deck to have it ready for traf¿c
later this year. Paving is already underway on the Surrey Approach, where the deck was completed in April. The Coquitlam Approach had its ¿nal segment placed earlier last week, marking another signi¿cant milestone. The deck panels at the bridge’s centre are the last to be placed to complete the bridge to its initial eight-lane con¿guration on opening day. The ¿nal two lanes of the full 10-lane bridge will be opened later in 2013. The old Port Mann Bridge will be dismantled in 2014.

park-and-ride rates Possible end to free parking lots for transit users Jeff Nagel jnagel@blackpress.ca
TransLink may make commuters pay to use many of its free park-and-rides and may raise rates at other paid parking lots at rapid transit stations in response to overcrowding. The strategy is to spur more drivers who can catch a bus from close to their home to do so rather than driving to a park-and-ride, where they board SkyTrain, an express bus or the West Coast Express. Detractors worry the plan will back¿re and push too many of those motorists to ditch transit and drive all the way to work instead. TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin gave no details on which lots might see fees imposed or raised, adding a study is still underway and TransLink’s board of directors will vote on any ¿nal plan. “Pricing is certainly one way to help manage demand,” he said. “We want to encourage people on the frequent transit network or areas that are well-served to use transit to get to SkyTrain.” Park-and-rides offer convenience for motorists who don’t want to wait for a bus near their home to get to a transit hub before transferring to an express bus or rapid transit, Martin said,

but added that convenience may come at a price. “A nominal fee at park-andride still represents savings for somebody who might otherwise still be driving downtown to pay for a parking spot.” The parking congestion problem partly reÀects rising transit ridership – more commuters than TransLink expected are using the South Surrey park-and-ride to catch a bus to the Canada Line at Bridgeport. The South Surrey lot is one of 10 free ones across the region and it routinely overÀows despite being recently expanded to 481 stalls. TransLink has said it will begin towing cars illegally parked there June 25. “It’s pretty chaotic,” said Fraser Institute economist Joel Wood, who commutes using the lot and said TransLink is right to reassess the region’s park-and-ride fees to reduce congestion. “The obvious solution to replacing the kind of ¿rst-come, ¿rst-served approach we have now to allocating stalls is to charge for them,” Wood said. “If you put a price in, you’ll want to set the price so the parking lot ¿lls up but there’s no longer cars overÀowing.” Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner, Tsawwassen, Walnut Grove in Langley, Sexsmith in Richmond; Phibbs exchange, Park Royal mall, Westmount and Gleneagles on the North Shore.

Some pay lots already charge hefty fees. An Impark-run lot at King George station in Surrey costs $6 to park for the day, prompting many motorists heading there to park for free a couple blocks away along Fraser Highway instead. Others are much cheaper – the public parkade at Bridgeport Station, operated by the casino there in partnership with TransLink, charges Canada Line users $2.50 a day, while the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-andride charges $3. Wood said TransLink needs to guard against unintended impacts, like commuters parking on nearby residential streets to save money. The move will also bring inequities, especially where some motorists heading to a transit hub have less ability to take transit without driving than others. Many commuters criticized the planned higher fees online, saying they will defeat the purpose of park-and-rides and discourage transit use. Twitter user @BuckyHermit called TransLink planners “clueless” for thinking fees will encourage people to take a bus to stations. “Um. If they had a choice, they would!” TransLink says the capital cost of building park-and-rides ranges from $3,000 to $16,000 per space, while the operating costs are $200 to $800 per year.

Samsung store coming to Metropolis Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Canada’s ¿rst store dedicated to Samsung products is coming to Metropolis at Metrotown and it’s all thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympics, says James Politeski, president of Samsung Electronics Canada. As a major sponsor of the Vancouver Games, Samsung had set up several pavilions around town. “We had tens of thousands of consumers come through and it was very loud and clear that customers were amazed and inspired by seeing Samsung products like this,” said Politeski. The 1,600-square foot store is set to open in mid July on the ground level of atrium centre court at the Burnaby mall, by the elevators in the former home of Mappins Jewellers.
It will be the ¿rst such store in Canada or the U.S., Politeski said. Similar stores are open in Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil and the company’s home base of South Korea. Along with showcasing its line of electronics, including its new Galaxy S3 smartphones, tablets and digital cameras, with the help of staff fully-trained in all things Samsung, the store will serve as a source of market research with customers providing feedback on products and their shopping experience. There are obvious comparisons to similar stores showcasing the products of their main competitor, Apple, but Politeski doesn’t see it that way. Samsung’s mobile phone business has “year over year almost tripled market share in smartphones, the race is now neck and neck,” he said of its competition with Apple. Samsung’s TV business has been
