anton heggen is concerned the operator of a medical marijuana grow up that’s set up next door to his fraser park restaurant is endangering the health of his staff as well as the safety of the 14-unit strata building where he’s been selling schnitzel for 16 years.

When Anton Heggen was waging his own battle with colon cancer, he tried a few puffs of marijuana to ease the nausea from chemotherapy treatments. He says it did nothing for him. Now the owner of the Fraser Park Restaurant is upset he, the staff and customers of his south Burnaby
diner are being forced to inhale the fumes of a medical marijuana grow operation that has set up right next door in the 14-unit strata industrial building on Byrne Road where he’s been slinging schnitzel for 16 years. Heggen said when the wind blows right, the skunky odour of the pot plants wafts into his establishment through the fresh air intake on the building’s roof that is located only a few feet from the venting system of his botanically inclined neighbour. His customers may crack jokes

about the smell, but Heggen said he worries about long-term exposure, as well as the safety risks a medical grow op may present to his business and the building it occupies. “They’re making it mandatory for my staff to smoke it,” said Heggen. Moreover, the president of the building’s strata council said they’ve received indications from their insurance company that their coverage could be in peril. Keming Ling said a meeting last Thursday between lawyers for the strata and
the marijuana grower failed to resolve any issues. Those issues include work done on the roof to install a venting system without the approval of the strata. A meeting of the building’s strata in June, which wasn’t attended by the operator of the grow op, ordered him to hire a professional roofer to restore the roof to its prior condition. “We don’t like it,” said Ling. “The work should be done properly.” please see GROW Op, A3

Will the City of Burnaby ban the sale of animals in pet stores? Will it decide to target specific breeds of dogs, applying stricter rules to them than other dogs? Those are two questions that will likely be answered in September, when a long-awaited update of Burnaby’s animal control bylaw will be presented to council, according to the city’s finance director. Denise Jorgenson said while city staff thought the new bylaw would have been ready in June, council suggested changes when staff presented it at a workshop earlier this month. At the workshop, council wanted two key issues in the bylaw separated out— whether or not to ban the sale of animals in pet stores and whether to put in breed-specific legislation for breeds such as pit bulls. That was out of a desire to give “enough time and attention to each of those very important aspects,” said Craig Collis, who was chief licence inspector at the time of the workshops (now assistant director of recreation). please see puppy, A3

The first phase of the redevelopment of Brentwood Town Centre will create a public plaza at the corner of Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue, which will tie in with the SkyTrain station.
Coun. Sav Dhaliwal reiterated his concerns that the bus stop for northbound buses on Willingdon is not being moved closer to the SkyTrain station despite other stops being moved as part of changes related to the redevelopment project. Pelletier said the issue preventing such a move is “the physical land we have access to make a bus stop happen in that manner.”

The lawyer for the grow op’s owner replied July 5 that his client hadn’t been properly notified of a general meeting to discuss his operation and that other owners in the building had also altered common property without prior consent from the strata. Jamie Bleay, a lawyer for the Access Law Group, also said his client’s operation has the City of Burnaby’s approval “subject to certain requirements, including obtaining any necessary building permits,” as well as the proper licence
He suggested that future redevelopment projects in the area might present an opportunity to move the bus stop closer to the intersection with Lougheed. Dhaliwal responded that the Brentwood mall project “is a wholesale change” that should make such a move possible. Coun. Pietro Calendino agreed a move is desirable. “When you have to walk
too far people tend to use their cars than take the bus.” Mayor Derek Corrigan reminded city staff that council is not totally satisfied with the bus stop situation. “It continues to be a minor irritant in what will be an impressive development,” Corrigan said. twitter.com/WandaChow

King Ed Pet Centre in Burnaby, said such a ban would have unintended consequences. Kinman said in a letter to council that she does not sell puppies or kittens from mills but rather from customers who need help finding homes for their pets’ litters. “Removing this from the community means those kittens will now be directed to the shelters effectively increasing their numbers!” she wrote. Instead, she said, the way to address the problem of mills is with provincial legislation and public education.
Correction A recent article on the rezoning application for a site that will include a new Brentwoodarea school and park contained inaccurate information. While Concord Pacific Holdings Ltd. has applied to rezone the 26-acre site currently occupied by Dragonwood Industrial Park it does not yet own the property, according to Michael Givton, vice-president of Dragonwood Enterprises Ltd. The land is still owned by Dragonwood Enterprises and Woodland Investments Ltd. and Concord Pacific has entered an agreement to purchase it on the condition that it is successful in rezoning the property, Givton said in a letter to the NewsLeader. “Dragonwood Industrial Park will remain in operation without interruption to our tenants for the foreseeable future,” said Givton. “Furthermore, even if the zoning process is successful, the development of the land is expected to take 10 to 15 years.”

The neighbourhood around Bonsor Recreation Complex is growing yet again. A highrise residential tower and townhouses are being proposed for a site across the street comprised of 6616, 6642 and 6668 Nelson Ave. and 6635 Dunblane Ave., midblock between Bennett and Imperial streets. The site is currently occupied by an 18-unit lowrise apartment building built in 1954 at 6616 Nelson Ave., single-family homes on the two other Nelson properties, and a 38-unit, three-
storey apartment building constructed in 1969 on the Dunblane lot, according to a city staff report. Intergulf Investment Corp. has applied to rezone the site, which is eligible for bonus density that would require the developer provide an amenity to the city. Parking would be underground and the townhouses would front onto Nelson and Dunblane. The rezoning will be the subject of a public hearing once a detailed plan of development is completed. If approved, the project would join others that have
in recent years begun to transform Nelson Avenue. Next door, to the north, Concord Pacific Holdings is currently building a 35-storey residential tower with townhouses dubbed The Met. Polygon Homes’ Chancellor at Metrotown added a 37-storey condo tower at Bennett Street where the Kal Tire used to be. It’s next door to a new two-storey Bonsor seniors centre, which the developer constructed as its amenity contribution to the city and is set to open Sept. 28.

No trees coming down, more usable park space: Ellenwood Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
At Burnaby’s Central Park it’s not just cars that will be on the move but the parking lot itself. Council recently approved $250,000 to relocate the Metrotown-area park’s southwest parking lot, near the lagoon, to a new spot along Imperial Street. The move was recommended after a comprehensive safety review of the park, according to a city staff report.
The current location has a long driveway off Imperial that crosses a pedestrian pathway which created a safety issue, said parks director Dave Ellenwood. Moving the lot will improve vehicle flow, entry and exit areas will be set out more clearly and 27 additional parking spots will be added. “We’re not going to be taking out any trees to do this,” Ellenwood said. “It seems like cars interrupt enjoyment of the park. When you push the parking to the edge people park and then they go into the park to enjoy
it, rather than driving into the park. That’s really the motivation for it.” The space along the busy street that will become the new parking lot is not currently used by park visitors, he said. Once the current lot is vacated, it will be converted into a picnic area. That will translate into a gain of roughly one-third to half of an acre of more usable park space. “We’re just trying to optimize use of the park.” Construction should be completed by the end of the year. twitter.com/WandaChow
The SFU Pipe Band is heading to Glasgow Scotland in August with hopes of winning the world championship for the seventh time. But the road to victory won’t be easy. For the first time all bands in the competition will have to qualify for a spot in the finals. Previously the top three bands
from the year before had earned automatic berths in the final round, something the SFU band has achieved 20 times. To pave their way there the band has been practicing almost daily at SFU, outside Horizon’s restaurant and even in the back yard of Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee. The full band also played a rare public concert in Vernon
on July 14, and they’ll spend a week in Stirling Scotland just before the competition getting themselves and their instruments acclimatized. The world championships will be held Aug. 17 and 18. A live video stream of the event will be available at www. theworlds.co.uk.

OPINION

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Phone addiction
LAST WEEK:
They’re called smartphones, but the way some people use them is anything but smart. A new poll that shows that 64 per cent of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18 per cent of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.” Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe their addiction as ‘manageable.’ It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction – whatever it is – is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence – usually some severe crisis or tragedy – that calls for an immediate change in behaviour. The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident caused by driving without due care and attention? Smartphones offer entertainment and information through a multitude of apps, and they have very practical uses in terms of communication, particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential. But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens. If that 2.5 hours were spent in one block of time, it might be a different matter – but it’s spread throughout the day, usually while the users are multi-tasking in some way. We should all be more aware of the imminent dangers such devices present – and to make sure that we are actually controlling them – and not the other way around. —Peace Arch News

NDP soul search going nowhere VICTORIA – B.C. NDP president Moe Sihota says an external review of the party’s performance in the May election will “look very much at the DNA of the NDP.” Early signs are not encouraging. Start with the five-member panel announced to conduct the review. The required “labour” representation is in the person of Cindy Oliver, president of the union representing college and university instructors, and Andy Ross, ex-president of COPE 378, which represents BC Hydro employees among others. Another appointee is NDP MP Jinny Sims, a former president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. If the party wants to further solidify its image as a lobby group for pension-subsidized government unions, it’s off to a great start. The terms of reference defy parody. In addition to unions, the panel required “more than one woman.” A sub-committee may be struck, if it has representation from “youth, women, labour, visible minority, LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual,
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
transgendered, questioning).” I presume the party’s lengthy antiharassment policy will be read out to begin all meetings. Once they finally get down to business, the list of election campaign details they must examine is long. In addition to that, they must review “stakeholder relations including community leaders, business, social movement, ethnic communities, environmental movement, affiliated unions and the labour movement.” One of the excuses offered by leader Adrian Dix for the party’s defeat was the loss of 40,000 jobs in the B.C. forest industry. The suggestion is that those people left for Alberta, and if they were still here, they would have voted NDP. That presumed solidarity has

never existed in the private sector, and in fact the highest-paid union workers have good reason to vote for lower taxes. To confirm B.C. and Canada’s “progressive” tax system, all they have to do is look at their pay stubs. The mandate for this review mentions not one actual public policy issue. Here’s one the committee might kick around. Having lost the 2009 election campaigning against the carbon tax, the NDP is now calling for it to be increased and extended to greenhouse gases produced by industrial process emissions. A simple example is a cement kiln, which burns fuel to reach the temperature at which the components are partially burned and cement is produced. Cement manufacturers pay carbon tax on the fuel, whether it’s natural gas or shredded tires, but not on the process. B.C. cement makers are already pleading for relief, because the fuel-intensive process puts them at a price disadvantage with U.S. and Chinese producers. Further unilateral tax action

by B.C. would only further increase imports, and potentially push B.C. firms out of business. Goodbye unionized private sector jobs. Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their ill-fated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and North Vancouver. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

COMMENT
Enclave 1: 80% Sold Enclave 2: Now Released
There’s a lake at the top of the world Some people would have us believe that there is controversy around global warming. “Global warming is for dummies,” they say. “Global warming has always been happening,” they say. “The planet is getting colder,” they say. However, as you will realize by the end of this letter, they are all wrong. Thousands of scientists around the world have been investigating these phenomena for years from a large variety of different perspectives, and virtually all of the data supports the conclusion that global warming is real, that it is currently being caused by human activity, and that it will be very harmful to the human civilization to let it continue. There are a few real scientists who publicly disagree with this conclusion, but if you track the money, you will find that they are being paid to lie by the fossil fuel industry. There are also global warming deniers without any relevant expertise who claim to be experts, but why anyone would listen to them is beyond me. Anyone who actually thinks that there is any serious controversy around global warming needs to first of all check their head, and then have a look at the lake at the top of the world. That’s right. There is a lake, i.e. liquid water, at the North Pole right now. It was all over the mainstream media a few days ago, and through the magic of the Internet, you can watch it in real time. The polar regions have been perpetually frozen for thousands of years. As you can imagine, it takes an awful lot of heat to melt even a small fraction of all that ice. And yet, it has melted. Not 100 years from now. Not 50 years from now. Today. Now, a lake at the North Pole may be shocking, but it is not damaging. However, all of the other, more subtle, less visible consequences of global warming are still going on. In other words, superstorms, droughts, wildfires, crop failures, floods, sea level rise, ocean acidification, etc., etc.,
are all getting worse, and they are killing people as well as causing large-scale economic damage. The global warming deniers, by deliberately spreading misinformation about one of the most serious crises to ever threaten our civilization, for reasons of personal profit or perhaps just criminal insanity, have caused us grave harm, with mass death being dangerously likely. We cannot allow this to continue. Just as we do not put a loaded gun into the paws of a monkey, we cannot allow these criminal lunatics to have any further influence on public policy.

RestoRing the balance Re: Balancing indulgence and excess (Column, NewsLeader, July 26) Thank you Anne Hopkinson, I agree with you 100 per cent and probably many other Canadians do. We are good people, but we are wasteful and forgetting about the other side of the global human family, the poor one (inadequate food, water, medical care). Some experts say what we throw away, what we waste could feed the hungry. Wow. I love charitable organizations that are financially responsible who spend very little on administration and fundraising—one of them is chalice.ca. A total of 92.7 per cent of every dollar goes to the poor. They have been graded A+ for many years, and they have good ideas. Besides feeding the poor they give them the tools to feed themselves. I am not associated with any charity, just an ordinary Canadian who is trying to imagine going without food for a day or two and trying to waste less and help those who are in need. Would you join me? Joe Malakieh Burnaby
Reason foR conceRn about site c Site C is a government-backed BC Hydro proposal to create an 83-km long reservoir with an earth-filled dam 20 storeys high straddling the Peace River. About 68 sq. km. of forest will end up under water. It is no ordinary forest. It is part of the Canadian boreal forest that stretches in an inverted arc from Yukon to Newfoundland. It could be described as a transition zone between the Arctic and the more temperate part of Canada. It’s an area literally awash with fresh water and it teems with life. It is imprinted on our collective Canadian consciousness. We have stamped and printed its images on our money and we recognize it in the art of the Group of Seven. It’s the land of the caribou, grizzly, wolf, loon, beaver, and thousands of other animal and plant species. Flooding the Peace River forest lying between Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope will transform it from a beneficial carbon sink into a poisonous carbon emitter. The Sierra Club estimates the trees and other organic matter slowly decaying under water will annually add about 150,000 tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions to B.C.’s carbon footprint, the equivalent of putting 27,000 cars a year on the road. There is agreement the flooding will also destroy at least three aquatic species: the Arctic grayling, the bull trout, and the mountain whitefish. Moreover, it is acknowledged that, bird-wise, the migratory habitat will be seriously imperiled for the Canada, Cape May and bay-breasted warblers, as well as the yellow rail and Nelson’s sparrow. Site C doesn’t meet international guidelines recommended by the World Commission on Dams. The provincial government arbitrarily removed the B.C. Utilities Commission’s oversight role—the commission had previously recommended against the building of Site C. Above all, Site C will cause irreparable harm to the forest and creatures that thrive there. In the end, maybe that’s all that matters. Bill Brassington Burnaby

RAYMOND JAMES WELCOMES The Muir Investment Team in Burnaby believes your investment portfolio must be tailored to meet your individual goals. They chose to be part of Raymond James because they like our independent approach towards providing individual solutions. We are pleased to welcome these client-dedicated individuals to our winning team.
The long hot summer days of July have seen in a spike in the number of drowning deaths around B.C. There have been 43 drowning deaths so far in 2013, up from 25 in the same period as 2012, BC Stats reported Monday. An analysis by the B.C. Coroners Service found that from 2008 to 2012, half of all drowning victims were involved in recreational activities, and nearly 60 per cent happened between May and August. The B.C. Interior had the largest proportion of drowning deaths, 35.5 per cent, followed by Vancouver Island with 24.4 per cent. Five per cent of drownings occurred on the job, while the rest were for situations such as vehicle accidents, falls into water and deaths in bathtubs. The likeliest age groups are 20 to 19 (20.9 per cent of deaths) and 50 to 59 (19.7 per cent).
Crime declines, B.C. third There were 357,192 police-reported Criminal Code violations in B.C. in 2012, a decline of two per cent from the previous year, Statistics Canada reports. B.C.’s crime rate was third in Canada last year, behind Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The lowest rates were in Ontario and Quebec. Homicide cases dropped from 87 to 71, with 28 of those treated as first-degree murder. The number of police-reported attempted murders rose four per cent to 83. Property crime was up slightly in 2012, with 217,767 incidents reported. There were 97 arsons reported, an increase of a third from 2011. Break and enters to steal a firearm rose to 119, the latest of a series of increases since 11 such incidents were reported in 2008. Vehicle thefts have declined by 45 per cent since 2008, with 12,584 reported to police in 2012.

New Massey Tunnel a tough sell for Delta Not all Metro Vancouver mayors back new Hwy 99 crossing Jeff Nagel Black Press
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson faces an uphill battle convincing other regional politicians of the need to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Jackson last year persuaded the province to start studying options for a new crossing of the Fraser River to relieve congestion on Highway 99 through Delta. But several other members of Metro Vancouver’s transportation committee questioned the justification for the project July 23. “You can’t build your way out of congestion,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who instead supports more investment in transit buses along Highway 99. “The real answer is to take vehicles off that corridor.” Brodie is concerned traffic jams will merely move into Richmond if a new six-lane bridge is built to replace the tunnel. He also favours longer hours of operation at Port Metro Vancouver terminals so that trucks can haul cargo at night when there’s little traffic on the roads. Jackson supports that aim but insists the 55-year-old tunnel desperately needs to be replaced. “I am disappointed to hear those statements,” she said, adding Delta has watched while the Golden Ears and Port Mann bridges were built, the Canada Line was completed and Evergreen Line work started. “I don’t know where the
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says she’d be willing to accept tolls on a Massey Tunnel replacement,but they’d also have to apply to the Alex Fraser and Pattullo bridges.
fairness is there,” Jackson said. “We’re going to have to go out and sell our message again.” Jackson said she’s willing to accept tolls on a Massey tunnel replacement but said they should be “far less” than the $3 for the Port Mann, suggesting $1 or $1.50 would be appropriate. She said tolls on a new Deas crossing would have to also apply on the Alex Fraser and Pattullo Bridges to avoid overwhelming congestion at those bridges if they were left as the only remaining free crossings of the Fraser River within Metro. “We’ve seen what’s happened on the Alex Fraser because of the two other toll bridges,” Jackson said. “We’re getting the overflow from the other areas where people don’t want to pay tolls.” Nor would she stop there. “I think they should all be tolled, whether it’s the Lions Gate or Second Narrows or whatever,” she added. Richard Walton, chair of the regional mayors’ council, said he prefers distance-based road pricing, adding tolling specific bridges isn’t a fair way to raise
money. He said the provincial government’s sudden decision to make the Massey Tunnel replacement a priority has sparked concern in Vancouver and Surrey that rapid transit extensions could end up taking a back seat to a new billiondollar bridge. “There’s a limited amount of money in the Lower Mainland to pay for major infrastructure projects,” Walton said. He was asked if a promised referendum on transit funding might also include the replacement of the tunnel and Pattullo Bridge so motorists who don’t use transit might have more reason to vote for a package triggering higher taxes or tolls. “Going in that direction may make sense,” Walton said. He said residents in various suburbs won’t vote ‘Yes’ in a referendum unless they see a local benefit. “If you’re going to go the referendum route, you want a basket of goods, where there’s clearly something in it for the people who are going to continue to drive in cars.” twitter.com/jeffnagel

Metro to jack utility fees 23 per cent over five years Drinking water, sewer projects drive regional costs up Jeff Nagel Black Press
Sharply rising costs to upgrade Metro Vancouver’s sewer and water system will translate into steadily rising utility fees for the region’s residents. A new five-year forecast tabled by the regional district shows overall regional levies are expected to climb 23 per cent by 2018, costing the average household nearly $100 more than today. The average $725,000 home that paid $418 for regional utilities this year will see that rise to $430 next year – a 2.9 per cent increase – and a projected $516 by 2018. “It’s a little bit disturbing,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said of the nearly 25 per cent increase in utility fees over five years, adding that’s far more than the rate of increase of property taxes from most local cities. Regional water servicing costs are slated to rise from $147 per average household now to $152 in 2014 and reach $189 by 2018, reflecting increases of around eight per cent in the next four years. Cost drivers include the new SeymourCapilano Filtration Project, adding ultraviolet drinking water disinfection to the Coquitlam source and building new tunnels beneath the Fraser River to carry drinking water to Surrey. The sewage system –
where rising federal standards are forcing Metro to rebuild two treatment plants – is pushing sewer levy hikes from $171 now to $216 by 2018. The sewage cost projection is considered tentative because regional district officials don’t yet know how much of the $1.7-billion-plus price tag for new treatment plants might come from senior governments. And the regional board is also contemplating changing the formula that apportions sewage upgrade costs across the region – as a result the actual household impact could vary wildly depending on each city’s share. Although Metro Vancouver has forecast soaring garbage tipping fees – rising from $107
per tonne now to $150 and beyond in the coming years as it builds a new waste-to-energy plant – that’s not expected to bite as deeply at the household level. The solid waste levy is projected to translate into an increase from $60 per household now to $66 by 2018. That’s because organic waste collection and other recycling gains are expected to mean households generally will produce less garbage that incurs tipping fees in the years ahead. The levy for the main regional district budget – which mostly goes to run Metro regional parks and to pay for planning and administration costs – is projected to rise slightly from $40 per household to $45 by 2018.

But as much as he wants everyone to fall in love with baseball as much as he has, don’t think he doesn’t have a highly competitive streak. He just believes that baseball isn’t only about the game. Baseball is nostalgia, a game that lives as much in our collective cultural memory as it does in our present-day lives, whether we are fans or not.

‘We want to grow a baseball team they can be proud of’ ⫸
continued from page a12
By 2008 he’d reached a point in his life — former executive with the Florida Marlins, Montreal Expos and Washington Nationals; Sporting News Minor League Executive of the Year and twotime winner of Florida State League Executive of the Year — when he realized success didn’t equal happiness. That’s when he was lured to the city by the team’s enthusiastic new owners, Jeff Mooney and Jake Kerr. The Vancouver Canadians might be a minor league team but they’re in a city with major love for the game and that’s what counts most for him. “I want to be with people I like, and trust,” he says. “If you find someplace you have happiness, hang onto it.” Vancouver is that place.

Great for birthday parties and team-building.
And he’s Vancouver’s man when it comes to upping the game on the field and off.
“We want to be your team,” he says. “We want to grow this community a baseball team they can be proud of.” As part of his goal to continually break attendance records at the stadium he helped refurbish, Dunn also wants to preserve the glory days of baseball. “Kids should have heroes,” he says, “and I think the guys on the field should remember that.” For more details about the 2013 Vancouver Canadian season, go to MILB.com.

Swarming ants join list of alien invaders Hogweed, knotweed remain major targets for weed eradicators Jeff Nagel Black Press
While plants like Japanese knotweed and giant hogweed continue to menace the Lower Mainland, European fire ants that swarm and sting people and pets are a growing cause for concern among invasive species watchers. Jennifer Grenz, development and projects manager for the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver, said the dangerous ants arrived more than a year ago and have been found multiplying across the region at sites in Burnaby, Vancouver, Richmond, the District of North Vancouver and Chilliwack, as well as Victoria. “The ants can sting you and they swarm very quickly when they detect any ground movement,” Grenz said. “It’s not just one ant – you’re swarmed so there are going to be many ants on you.” They’ve caused significant reactions in some people, Grenz said. Dogs and horses can also be attacked by legions of the small red ants, which are hard to distinguish from the many other ant species found in B.C. “It’s really their behaviour which is the defining characteristic,” she said. “This is the latest public safety concern for us.” The council’s website, www. greNz iscmv.ca, explains how to collect a sample of suspect ants and send it for free identification by B.C.’s agriculture ministry. Grenz said residents have found themselves battling huge numbers of the ants because there are often multiple nests in close proximity – up to five or six in a single square metre of soil. She suspects fire ants are being trucked around the region in contaminated soil that gets dumped at one site and used as fill or landscaping soil somewhere else. They’re thought to have arrived in potted garden plants from Europe. Grenz advises homeowners to carefully check any new garden plants, compost or top soil for ants before adding it. European fire ants have formed more aggressive colonies in Canada than in their native Europe, according to a report of B.C.’s Inter-Ministry Invasive Species Working Group. It says they have potential to spread inland to Hope and throughout the B.C. coast as far north as Prince Rupert and warns they can make yards “unusuable” for children and pets. Meanwhile, weed control crews and volunteers are in high gear trying to eradicate giant hogweed. The 15-foot towering plant is entering its flowering and seeding phase and Grenz said stopping the 100,000 seeds per plant from reaching the ground is critical to battling the spread. The sap of the giant hogweed contains a phytophototoxin that can cause painful recurring third-degree burns on the skin for up to 10 years after exposure. Japanese knotweed, an imported shrub that can grow right through concrete foundations and roads, is more of an economic threat. Grenz said several road and other infrastructure projects this year were delayed to allow knotweed treatment first.
