Burnaby RCMP are warning the public after three women were grabbed by a masked man in the Lougheed Highway and Government Street area. Three such assaults have been reported since Sept. 18 with all of them taking place between 10 p.m. and midnight. In each case, the women resisted or screamed, leading the suspect to run away. The suspect is described as five-footthree to five-foot nine inches tall, with a slim build and of unknown ethnicity. He was wearing dark clothing, possibly a hoodie, and a black mask covering his face. People are asked to be careful when walking in the area late at night with women encouraged to travel in pairs and always be aware of their surroundings. Anyone with any information about the incidents, or who have not yet reported similar assaults to police, is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP’s High Risk Offender Unit at 604-294-7922. twitter.com/Wandachow

Village prepares for the haunting season Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

When Burnaby Village Museum transforms itself for its annual Haunted Village event, the focus will be on fun. No history lessons. No historically accurate renditions of typical 1920s period Halloween costumes and decor. Just fun. “This is the one time of the year when our creative people get to cut loose,” said the museum’s marketing coordinator, Nancy Stagg. Haunted Village runs Oct. 25 to 27 from 6 to 9 p.m., hours when the museum site is normally closed and dark. But during the event it’ll come to life along the theme of “ghosts,” featuring the likes of banshees, poltergeists and spectres. There will be vampires at the blood bank, undertakers at Elworth House and two ghostly little maids at Love Farmhouse. A graveyard is popping up next to the church, and visitors are advised to look carefully, and warily, at the scene. It’s a kid-friendly event, stressed the museum’s costume coordinator, Margaret Kolpin. That means there won’t be people jumping out of the darkness to scare the living daylights out of people.

And it’s all original, not taken from horror films like Friday the 13th. “All our costumes are original, not one is purchased, and we do make all our own coffins,” said Kolpin. “It’s an original experience.” • Haunted Village runs Friday to Sunday, Oct. 25 to 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. It’s a ticketed event and the admission price includes trick-or-treating for children up to 12 years old, at five buildings on site, and unlimited carousel rides. Tickets are $14 for adults, youth and seniors, and $9 for children aged two to 12. The museum is also hosting historical walking tours of purportedly haunted buildings around Deer Lake Park, for ages 15 and up, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Oct. 24, and 9 to 11 p.m. Oct. 25 to 27. Cost is $21 with a discount available for members. For children not wanting to chance it with scary encounters, there’s Carnival at the Carousel on Saturday, Oct. 26, Wanda ChOW/neWsLeader 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cost is $6.50 for nonBurnaby Village Museum banshee Sandra Hume enjoys a cackle while admiring a bottle of “blood” amidst members and $5.83 for members and preparations for Haunted Village, which will bring the museum site to life on the nights of Oct. 25 to 27. includes unlimited carousel rides, crafts, games and children’s entertainment.

Anthony directed Travis to get wet towels and linens and took over the situation, sitting behind Alicia, bracing and coaching her along while giving instructions to Tammy in front. About five minutes and three pushes later, baby McKinley entered the world. It was only around two hours since Alicia had sat down to what she’d thought would be an ordinary breakfast. Burnaby firefighters arrived within a few minutes and clamped the umbilical cord, allowing Travis to cut it, and an ambulance came minutes after that, taking

Being part of the experience was “amazing,” said Tammy, who added that being a hospital social worker, “I deal with the other spectrum of life, with death, so this is a very big honour.” Anthony recalled earlier that morning it had been raining but the sun suddenly came out—just when McKinley did. After her frantic entry into the world, she’s been pretty mellow ever since, Alicia said. “She’s a relaxed baby for all the commotion that she caused. She sleeps wonderfully, she only cries when she wants to feed, she’s really good.”

When they first heard the commotion they wondered if it was to do with the baby, since they knew Alicia was pregnant. “I could hear them running through the script and I’m, ‘forget the script, go to the last page, just

‘Not good enough’: Burnaby mayor Loss of evening mental health services has limited impact, Fraser Health claims Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

While people are no longer getting help for mental health issues during the evening, it’s not because of a cut in funding or services. “We’re not saving anything, it’s the same number of staff working the same number of hours, just at a different time of day,” said Denyse Houde, Fraser Health’s director of clinical programs, told council last week. As of Sept. 1, evening mental

health clinics, some of which were open twice a week until 8 p.m., were phased out in Surrey, Langley, New Westminster, Tri-Cities, White Rock and Burnaby. The clinics accepted walk-in clients as well as those referred by doctors, and provided counselling, help administering medication and group therapy. Those and other services are now only available between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The B.C. Nurses Union raised the alarm, saying the changes would leave people unable to access much-needed mental health services. The move comes at a time when Metro Vancouver mayors and police chiefs across

Canada are calling for better such services for people who otherwise end up having to be dealt with by police. In Burnaby, the latest hours the services had been operating was until 6:30 p.m. twice a week, said Pam Vickram, manager of Burnaby Mental Health and Substance Use. Houde said the changes affected 16 clients who were in a support group for people who were transitioning out of treatment and four clients who received individual counselling. “These were working people, individuals with milder cases of depression, anxiety, not the people who come to the

attention of police and act out on the street,” Houde said. “I can guarantee you, these are not those kinds of clients.” The change was made partly to standardize operating hours across the region, since hours varied widely among clinics, and to ensure staffing was available when demand for services was highest, Houde explained. The later hours meant staff had to take time off to make up for it, which made them unavailable some days. Houde stressed the decision was not made lightly. Limited resources are now targeting the majority which need services. There are 1,475 mental health

clients being served in Burnaby, she said, and “16 to 20 accessed [services] in the evening because it was more convenient for them. “I think we’re acting responsibly. It was the responsible decision to make to serve the clients who need it.” Mayor Derek Corrigan pointed out that the reason for council’s interest is “because it has a direct impact on city services,” referring to Burnaby RCMP having to deal with an increasing number of calls related to mental health issues. “The message from me as mayor is it’s not good enough, it’s just not good enough,” Corrigan said.

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on October 1, 2013 through until December 23, 2013. This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discolored after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap.

Pot petitioners off target at 30-day mark Pot reformers fell short of their sign-up target for the first third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana enforcement. Sensible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of

the 90-day petition drive. But he remains confident the campaign can succeed in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district. That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding

to provide a buffer against signatures that are declared invalid. The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. jnagel@blackpress.ca

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Play it safe

LAST WEEK:

The last gasp of balmy sunny weather was welcomed earlier this week by Burnaby residents, especially since fall and winter’s inevitable rain and gloom are en route. This is also the perfect time of year to start planning how you’re going to remain safe on the roads in the coming dreary, dark months of commuting. Although we may not get as much snow as our friends in other parts of Canada, what we do get tends to wreak a considerable amount of havoc on the driving public, for a number of reasons. First, most long-term Metro Vancouver residents simply don’t have as much experience driving in the snow. Second, the wet snow we get is more difficult to drive in than the fluffy powder up-country. But most importantly, many drivers have trouble because they don’t have proper snow tires mounted. Consider this an early warning to take care of that simple safety task. Keep in mind, also, that wet roads are naturally, more slick and hazardous than dry ones, so slow down. Your friends and family will thank you for it, and so will your insurance premiums. Same goes for pedestrians out there. Too often, people dart out into traffic mid-block without lifting their head to check for oncoming traffic. Worse is when they’re dressed in black from head to toe, making them practically invisible in the gloom of fall and winter. A good rule of thumb as a pedestrian is to assume that any vehicle out there can’t see you. OK, enough of wagging the finger—we just want you to be safe and sound! Meantime, embrace the sunshine whenever it peeks through the clouds from here on in. It’ll feel like a long-lost friend by the time spring turns the corner.

Life in the world of deadlines If anybody ever wondered what life is like in the editorial department of a newspaper – and if you have, I feel sorry for you – they would’ve got a good glimpse into our glamorous world on a recent Wednesday afternoon. As of this writing, most everyone is busy, tap-tapping away on their keyboards, finishing off some story or another. And a deadline looms, less than two hours away. There’s no visible panic yet – though, to be fair, I can’t see my editor from my desk – but it’s always there, in the background. Tick tock, tick tock. “Anybody got a column?” comes the call from said editor’s office. “I’ll read a column, sure,” says one reporter who, with headphones on, has incorrectly heard the question. “No… we need someone to write one.” “Oh. Sorry, no. I’m out.” And so comes the same answer as the same question is echoed down the line, cubicle to cubicle, desk to desk. “Nope, sorry.” “Nadda.”

Nick Greenizan Then, silence. As for myself, well… though I do have the innate ability to write about nothing for 624 words – one of my few marketable skills, really – I, too, am tapped out. I’ve got no ideas worth writing about, and even if I did, no time to do it. The column well runneth dry. Tick tock, tick tock. It’s a funny thing about columns. Nobody ever seems to want to write one. Sure, once they’re done, they’re sometimes great. If done well, they can be full of witty insights, deep thoughts or pointed opinions. And done not-so-well? Well, you just hope nobody notices. But in a newsroom full of talented people who get paid to write quickly, under pressure, the column is still, by far, the hardest thing to really nail.

A writer’s white whale, so to speak. For once, the reporter isn’t reprinting other people’s quotes and ideas gleaned from interviews or news releases, but rather expected to string together his or her own thoughts, opinions, beliefs or hilarious anecdotes. In other words, we have to think for ourselves. I know, I hate it, too. But on the plus side, we get to write in the first-person, which can sometimes be fun. And if you really want to turn off your readers, you can even write the whole thing in the thirdperson, which I once did for my old college newspaper, just to see what would happen. The response? Nick liked it. Others? Not so much. But whatever you write, you have to open yourself up a little bit, and in a Facebook age where everybody’s personal privacy settings are usually set on “high,” well, that can be a frightening thing. And sometimes you have to do it on a tight deadline. Tick tock, tick tock. It’s the reason I’ll start writing

one slowly, in the hope that something different – written by someone else – will materialize in the meantime. Often, that is exactly what happens, and I’m able to exhale, and safely hit “save and close” on my document, my few disjointed thoughts stored away for another day, only to be completed when there are no other options. I have a folder on my computer called “columns in progress.” It may as well be subtitled, “In case of emergency, break glass,” because nothing inside gets finished unless all other options are exhausted. That folder is the second parachute. An ejector seat. A way out of trouble. It’s from where this column came from. “So, did anybody come up with anything?” comes the hopeful call from the editor’s office. “No,” everyone groans. Tick tock, tick tock. Deadlines are the best.

WITH COUPON

INCLUDES: Shared Appetizer • Two Entrees • Shared Dessert Tribunal proceedings that don’t begin until November. These colour significantly the “fees” that BC Hydro is presenting as inevitable. If Balbir has health concerns, then he should continue to inform Hydro of his refusal. Jane Maxwell —online comments object to smart meters should move on, a burnabynewsleader.com

People who letter writer says.

Re: Burnaby man questions cost of refusing smart meter (NewsLeader, Oct. 9) Time for those who oppose smart meters to end this silly nonsense. Either accept them or pay the fee—it’s really that simple. If your reason for opposing is health, then surely it’s worth the fee to protect your belief ? Frankly I consider your fears groundless, now let’s move on. Peter Marshall •••••

Mr. Marshall, There are literally hundreds of papers published on observed effects of low and high-power radiated RF fields, for those who want a good summation of the research up to the 1990’s see The Body Electric by Robert O Becker and his additional book re-published in 2004, Cross Currents. Both are readily available. Amazon is one source. To suggest that someone should have to pay a fee to protect their health from a public body is abhorrent. Sherry Ridout •••••

If you read the application from BC Hydro to the BCUC

you will see that they are basing the fees on 10,000 people not having smart meters. If they based the fee on 50,000, the fee would be a lot less. In other places in the U.S., the monthly opt-out fee is $10. I think Hydro has come up with figures that they know will force people to choose smart meters. Tory Ellis •••••

I think someone should set up a website or facebook page and have people who still have analog meters register. BC Hydro keeps saying there are only 60,000 of us left out of 1.83 million. Why would they bother fighting with us if there were only that many? I think there are far more than they are letting on. •••••

Balbir Khkah does have a choice, as do all others who received the “Meter Choices” letter from BC Hydro.

iT doesn’T add up Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart must think his constituents are a very uninformed lot. In his latest mailer he tells us on the front page: “How Government Cuts to Service Canada Affect You” and “Kinder Morgan Pipeline Update.” He then assures us how hard he will work to re-install the level of service to Canadians. In the latter item, I could not find a word how revenues created by Kinder Morgan might help provide better service to Canadians. There was just information how and why we should help to shut them down. How difficult is it to make the connection that you can’t have better government services without putting more people to work?

Got a problem with an arm of the provincial or municipal government? Staff from the B.C. Ombudsperson Office will be in Burnaby on Oct. 18 to talk to you in person and receive an official complaint. The Ombudsperson is an independent officer of the legislature charged with impartially investigating complaints to make sure provincial and local public agencies treat the people they serve fairly and reasonably. Last year, the Ombudsperson Office responded to almost 7,500 inquiries and complaints and completed 1,900 early resolutions or investigations. Among its successes included helping a senior get dental coverage from the Pension Corporation; having StudentAid BC reconsider a decision which allowed continued funding to a student; and helping a family avoid eviction. The office’s work also resulted in Burnaby Youth Custody Services changing a policy that seizes personal funds and the education

ministry refunding a fee to 1,302 non-practising teachers following a complaint. It can investigate complaints involving any provincial ministry and board, Crown corporations, colleges and universities, schools and school boards, health authorities, local governments and self-governing professions. It also provides free, confidential and professional interpretation services in more than 180 languages. “We’re here to serve the entire province, if people have not been successful in resolving their problems with the public agency and still feel they have not been treated fairly and reasonably, they can come to us,” said Ombudsperson Kim Carter. “While the majority of complaints are by telephone, mail or online, some people are more comfortable meeting face-to-face and I feel it’s important that this opportunity is available to people throughout the province.” To meet with staff from the office, call 1-800-567-3247.

$668K raised on Donation Day The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation raised $668,000 during its RCH Donation Day campaign Oct. 8. Radio stations JRFM 93.7, The Peak 102.7, RJ1200 and Rim Jhim broadcast live from the hospital to help bring in the funds. “Between phone calls, online gifts, walk-in donations, corporate and community organization gifts, we exceeded expectations,” said Adrienne Bakker, foundation president and CEO. “All funds raised will go towards supporting priority needs, equipment, research, education at the hospital and the work of RCHF.” Kingston Construction was one of the big contributors giving the foundation $11,500 toward an equipment purchase. “Our dad and founder of Kingston Construction, Ben Backman, was impressed with the care he received at RCH, and was happy to give back. Since he passed in 2009, our family business continues to support RCH in Dad’s memory,” said Kingston office manager Kelley Backman in a radio

Return to natural gas buses by TransLink criticized Choice of CNG defended as cheaper, technology improved Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink plans to buy more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that it shunned for years and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is questioning whether the reversal is politically motivated. The transportation authority has more than 50 CNG buses, some dating back to the 1990s, but it rejected new purchases for years after concluding they weren’t cost-effective due to high maintenance costs and other problems. In the mid-2000s, the then-elected TransLink board wavered several times on which fuel type of bus to buy while being heavily lobbied by

He said early CNG buses were “very problematic” but the technology has improved dramatically and the much lower price of natural gas today has made it very attractive. “Right now our assessment is the CNGs are a good replacement rather than purchasing TraNsLiNk PhoTo new clean diesels.” Paddon, who chairs The last compressed natural gas buses TransLink bought were these low-floor models in 2006. the Canadian Urban dueling industry groups. natural gas worldwide?” he Transit Association, Corrigan wonders if the asked at a Metro Vancouver said several other transit private unelected board has meeting Oct. 9. agencies are now looking at embraced CNG to please the TransLink executive CNG. provincial government as it vice-president Bob Paddon “There’s just a much promotes natural gas exports said the decision to buy 54 stronger business case than it as a key to B.C.’s future. new natural gas buses, using was 10 years ago,” he said. “Is this about politics, federal gas tax funds, was A 2012 efficiency review of about provincial government a staff recommendation, TransLink also recommended pressure to ensure that endorsed by the board, not it expand the CNG fleet in natural gas buses are here a decision forced down from light of better life cycle costs. because we market so much the board. Replacing old diesel buses with compressed natural gas will cut particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions by 90 per cent and greenhouse gas emissions by 15 per cent, according to TransLink. TransLink also plans over the next three years to buy dozens more diesel-electric hybrids, which Paddon said are ideal in urban traffic where electric trolleys can’t run. He noted regular diesels are still also needed for some routes because the advantages of electric hybrids are lost on long highway runs. All-electric non-trolley buses are also on the horizon, Paddon said, likely available in as little as three to five years. TransLink can only refuel natural gas buses at its Port Coquitlam bus depot, but that capability may be extended to depots in Surrey and Richmond. BC Ferries is also moving to power some of its ferries by natural gas. Corrigan contends that running a wide range of buses of different fuel types drives up costs, making CNG an unwise experiment in light of the past problems.

Thatâ€™s why the Greater Vancouver Home Buildersâ€™ Association is holding an Ask a Pro renovation expo on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 5-9:30 p.m. at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown Hotel. The expo will give handy homeowners a chance to discuss their renovation plans with professional renovators and

suppliers from RenoMark. There will also be a seminar from 7:30-9 p.m. that will guide homeowners through the renovation process, from design and planning to securing the necessary permits and contracts. â€œConsidering $3.8 billion is expected to be spent by Metro Vancouver homeowners this year, there is no shortage of fly-by-night operators taking advantage of trusting homeowners,â€? said Bob de Wit, the CEO of the GVHBA. â€œDealing in the cash-only

underground economy or doing it yourself to avoid taxes exposes homeowners not only to liability issues but also to potential dangers that are associated with a poorly completed renovation.â€? Admission to the expo is free, but you must pre-register at www.gvhba.org or by calling 778-565-4288. Attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Pattullo, Massey bridge plans draw fire from mayors Region on ‘road to nowhere’ until province, TransLink coordinate Jeff Nagel Black Press

Some Metro Vancouver mayors want TransLink to ban heavy trucks from the aging Pattullo Bridge to extend its life. They say the $300 million TransLink estimates is needed to repair the bridge in the next three years – in addition to a potential $1-billion-plus for a replacement later on – is unaffordable, especially as more trucks are using the span after the province tolled the nearby Port Mann Bridge. “We need to prohibit truck traffic on that bridge so we extend the life as long as possible,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro Vancouver’s transportation committee Wednesday. “If not, then tear the bridge down and tell the provincial government to build another one if you want to.” Corrigan said the Pattullo would last longer if it handled
