The decision by the B.C. government to close a youth custody facility in Victoria will only increase the tension and the possibility of violence at the Burnaby Youth Custody Services Centre, said the union chair for correction and sheriff services workers.

to accommodate youth from Vancouver Island. Youth from outside the southern part of the island could go to Prince George. The Burnaby facility houses about 45 to 50 kids, said Purdy, a number that stays fairly constant. But, said Purdy, placing youth from Vancouver Island in Burnaby isn’t as simple as loading them onto a ferry. He said they’ll lose their rapport with staff they’ve grown to trust, as well as the support of nearby family. Please see 20 ASSAULTS, A4

Burnaby homeowners will see their property taxes go up by 1.97 per cent, less than originally proposed in December. The increase equates to a hike of $26.82 bringing taxes to $1,549.22 for the average home assessed at $660,847 in 2014, said city finance director Denise Jorgenson. The tax increase is necessary to fund wage increases set out in union contracts, operational and inflationary increases and new services, such as the opening of the new Edmonds Community Centre. But it’s less than the 2.47-per-cent jump originally proposed in the provisional budget. Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s finance and audit committees, said that was thanks partly to “new growth in the Brentwood and Metrotown areas that were higher than we anticipated with new construction.” The growth adds revenue through building permits but more significantly, from new homes added to the property tax base, Johnston explained in an interview. see ‘NO MAJOR’, A4

Angelo inducted to Fraser River Hall of Fame The man behind BC Rivers Day and World Rivers Day will be inducted into the Fraser River Hall of Fame. The Fraser River Discovery Centre announced retired BCIT instructor Mark Angelo will be its 2014 inductee at a dinner Nov. 6. Angelo is founder and chair of B.C. Rivers Day and World Rivers Day which has spread to more than 60 countries. He has been a strong advocate for waterways for four decades promoting numerous river conservation and restoration initiatives. He helped with the successful restoration of Guichon Creek, which runs through BCIT’s campus in Burnaby, and Still Creek in Vancouver and Burnaby. He’s also been a leader in the Heart of the Fraser campaign which the Discovery Centre describes as one of the most important conservation initiatives in Canada. The campaign sought “to conserve the enormous ecological values of one of the most productive stretches of the Lower Fraser River.”
Angelo served as the first nongovernment representative and chair of the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board, first chair of the B.C. Heritage River System, and rivers chair for the Outdoor Recreational Council of B.C. He compiled an annual B.C.’s most endangered list for the council. “Mr. Angelo’s passion and dedication for rivers all over the world is vast and inspiring. His work right here at home is exceptional and most deserving of the Fraser River Hall of Fame honour,” said Discovery Centre executive director Catherine OuelletMartin. Angelo was head of BCIT’s Fish, Wildlife and Recreation Program before being appointed as the inaugural chair of its Rivers Institute. He continues to serve as chair emeritus. The induction will be the latest in a long line of honours for the Burnaby resident. They include the Order of Canada, the United Nations International Year of Fresh Water Stewardship Award, the Order of British Columbia, and an honourary Former BCIT instructor Mark Angelo is a founder of BC Rivers Day and World Rivers Day. doctorate from SFU.
Eagle Creek pub at Burnaby Mountain to close City of Burnaby to operate café, catering until future decided Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The current operator of Eagle Creek Pub, Grill and Banquet Facility at Burnaby Mountain Golf Course is set to hand the reins back to Burnaby city hall after its contract expired late last year. Since the contract ended last fall, the operator has been continuing month to month, said Burnaby parks and rec director Dave Ellenwood. “It wasn’t being run as efficiently as we wanted,” he said.
“So we thought there’s no use really limping along or keeping to operate with the third-party operator. We’ll just take a look if there’s a better alternative than the current operator.” The closure is temporary until the city figures out what it wants to do. Ellenwood stressed that the move only affects the pub portion of the operation. The snack bar or café and patio service will continue uninterrupted, as will the catering operation, through the city’s own food services division. “People who had events booked, they will still happen there and we will book new
ones. We’re very much open for business on the catering side with that banquet hall. It’s only that one specific component that’s being re-evaluated,” he said. “We have a vibrant catering service at the city so we’re more than capable of honouring those agreements. So any agreements that have been made with the former operator will absolutely be honoured and that facility is available.” Ellenwood said options being considered include finding a new private operator to take over or the city running it on its own. Under the contract with the operator, city hall received a percentage of the profits.
“The problem was it wasn’t making any money,” he said. “So it was pretty clear why we decided to go in a different direction.” He noted that location has long had difficulties in being profitable. It’s been operated by third parties for decades, including Delta Hotels for several years at one point. Current operator Bill Brandon has had the contract since 2002. Joanne Rombouts, general manager at Eagle Creek, said the current operator will continue on until May 7. All the staff have been offered jobs at the facility or elsewhere with the city, said Rombouts, who will continue on at Eagle Creek
herself. Once the changeover happens, there will still be a full pub menu and table service. “Everything is as per usual. So we’re still doing Mother’s Day, we’re still booking weddings, still booking private functions, golf tournaments, all that is as per usual,” she said. “The only difference will be the pub area will be closed [except for] private functions.” Brandon could not be reached for comment before the NewsLeader’s deadline. Anyone wanting to book the facility can contact Burnaby’s food services department at 604205-3026 or catering@burnaby.ca.

20 assaults on officers last year ⫸

“It is concerning for us,” said Purdy. “It’s only going to increase the tension in there, and that increases the violence.” Just last week, said Purdy, he had a meeting with WorkSafeBC to discuss officers’ concerns about violence in the Burnaby facility. He said there was 20 assaults on officers last year. “The violence doesn’t seem to be going away,” said Purdy. “The type of resident we see is more dangerous, more volatile.” But he was pleased that WorkSafe agreed to dedicate one of its officers to deal with the Burnaby centre exclusively. “There will be more of a presence there,” said Purdy. His optimism has now been tempered by Monday’s announcement. “Once you close the jails you don’t get those back,” said Purdy. “We got blindsided on this.” - With files from Tom Fletcher
‘No major program cuts’ ⫸
continued from FronT page
It’s a trend that should continue for a few more years as major developments get built, he added. Johnston also gave credit to city staff for finding efficiencies to save money. New engineering director Leon Gous took a close look at ways to raise more revenue and spend less. “No major program cuts, just how we do it,” he said of the approach. “I think our staff really did a good job of pulling up their shirt sleeves and seeing what they could reduce.” When asked when city hall will run out of areas to cut, Johnston said looking for savings is something that should happen regularly. “If we’re doing our job properly we should be looking at every service we do on an annual basis and justifying that it should be continuing to exist. And if it’s not, there should be eliminations made so the new programs that the community needs can be covered.” twitter.com/WandaChow

New resource centre opens The new Brentwood Community Resource Centre officially opens today (Friday, May 2), providing space to local non-profits at reduced rents. The 6,100-square-foot centre at 2055 Rosser Ave. is the second such facility developed for Burnaby city hall as part of its community amenity program. While owned by the city, it was built and furnished by Embassy Development Corp. in exchange for receiving additional density at its Vantage highrise condo project at the corner of Rosser Avenue and Lougheed Highway. The four organizations which now call it home are Burnaby Community Services, Burnaby Meals on Wheels, MOSAIC and the YMCA of Greater Vancouver. The groups will work together to offer programs and resources to support children, youth, seniors, newcomers and families. The City of Burnaby now owns three such resource centres that provide office and program space to 15 community service organizations, at reduced rates. In addition to the new Brentwood facility, others are next to Holdom SkyTrain
station and at the corner of Edmonds Street and Canada Way. “The Brentwood Community Resource Centre will be a gathering place for people of all ages and
backgrounds in the heart of Brentwood,” said Coun. Paul McDonell, chair of Burnaby’s social issues committee. “Through our community benefit bonus program,
the City has been very successful in providing numerous facilities that have made a substantial contribution to community life in our city,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Danielle LaBreche sent in this shot at Deer Lake, looking at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
Sirens song BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) is defending a Resource Allocation Plan that has downgraded some medical emergencies from Code 3 to Code 2. That means only the fire department responds with lights and sirens at speeds above posted limits while the ambulance drives at posted limits and gets there later. Much later say some local fire departments. Recently Burnaby’s deputy fire chief wrote to Dr. William Dick, the vice-president of medical programs for BCEHS, detailing 11 cases since last October where his fire fighters had to wait more than an hour at a medical call before an ambulance showed up. There were another 67 incidents where the wait was longer than 30 minutes. But according to BCEHS, the change in ambulance response time has actually allowed paramedics to get to serious Code 3 emergencies quicker, by about one minute. The downgraded Code 2 calls now take about 10 minutes longer in the Lower Mainland. But there’s less potential for accidents, and the change isn’t affecting patient outcome. Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan says most firefighters are trained to do basic first aid, not to assess patients or administer medical treatment. Waiting for paramedics to arrive is “rolling the dice.” Municipal governments around the Lower Mainland say this change in service is downloading. Instead of increasing resources to handle the growing demand for service, the province is reducing some services to hold the line on costs. BCEHS argues the firefighters should slow down to some of their calls as well. That’s little comfort to a patient who’s just suffered a seizure, or a senior who’s just tumbled down stairs.

Our river access just keeps growing On the surface, it’s just another proposal for a business park. But it takes us one step closer to having a trail system that runs the entire length of the Fraser River from Hope to the ocean. This particular project is in Burnaby, next to the regional incinerator. Once this 65-acre site is redeveloped, it will add 500 metres of public trail to a system that already provides 4,600 metres of trail along Burnaby’s 6,600-metre riverfront. That means there’ll only be about 1,500 metres left to go. Most of the trail is in Fraser Foreshore Park, a linear park running from the incinerator to the Vancouver border at Boundary Road. (If you feel ambitious, the trail keeps going on the Vancouver side, too.) My office is next to Fraser Foreshore, and the path offers stress-reducing exercise, a dose of nature and the opportunity to enjoy the ever-changing face of the Fraser. The business park redevelopment helps bring the
Chris Bryan trail closer to New Westminster, too. Head in that direction and poke your head behind some of the businesses along that stretch of river, and you’ll find several sections of built-up trail ready to link up when the opportunity arises. These connections are a key focus of a project called Experience The Fraser (ETF). The project brings together Metro Vancouver, the province, cities and multiple stakeholder groups to coordinate development of trail links along the Fraser from Hope to the ocean. The original plan only looked at the South Arm of the Fraser, considered the main stem. Recently, though, ETF began work on a plan for the

North Arm—which links New West, Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. In coming months, city councils in the respective cities will review the plan. Meantime, though, cities are already at work building the river trail connections. In New Westminster, a major win in recent years was the reclamation of a former industrial brownfield along the river just steps from Columbia Street. Today, Westminster Pier Park pushes the river trail within steps of the Pattullo Bridge and offers a stunning destination for walkers, runners and cyclists, encouraging them to extend their walk along the New West boardwalk all the further. The park offers stunning views of the river and three bridges that are milestones in B.C.’s transportation history: the 1904 rail bridge, the 1937 Pattullo Bridge and the 1990 SkyTrain SkyBridge. What the park has also done, though, is given people an appetite for more. Only about 600 metres

upstream is another long stretch of waterfront path called Sapperton Landing Park. The City of New West owns a fair bit of land en route, but it will be expensive to buld the trail through that narrow section. As wonderful as it is to follow the river as you walk, run or cycle, there are still sections of trail in New West and Burnaby that won’t be secured for many years. But it’s worth remembering how far we’ve come. In Burnaby, it was only in 1999 that Commonwealth Construction donated its property at the foot of Tillicum Street to the City of Burnaby, adding a large section of riverfront trail, as well as a fishing pier. And in New West until the 1980s, the entire Quayside boardwalk was industrial. Today it’s a glorious public amenity. Getting one, continuous trail link all along the Fraser River may take decades, but each new piece is worth celebrating. editor@burnabynewsleader.com

COMMENT
Let’s see smart incentives for sustainable ideas Re: Why do we gather paper, then ship it abroad? (NewsLeader, April 18) Thank you Rick McGowan for asking the question about why we gather paper and then ship it abroad for recycling. I agree that “…with appropriate incentives governments could foster a local reprocessing industry…” and should. Here’s a brilliant thought: what if we eliminated subsidies to oil, gas and mining megacorporations and instead offered incentives to local reprocessing, solar energy, and other truly sustainable initiatives? Oh, but I forget—then the rich would quit getting richer. Off our taxes. And we can’t upset the apple cart like that, now can we? Clare O’Kelly Burnaby

ANOTHER LOST OPPORTUNITY Re: Big land sale shocks city hall (NewsLeader, April 2) Mayor Derek Corrigan has made a career out of antagonizing and not co-operating with the provincial government. He shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t co-operate with him. What goes

U.S. TO BE KNOCKED OFF PEDESTRAL The Second World War turned most of Europe and much of Asia into rubble. One clear winner—the United States—emerged from that war. Using the Bretton Woods institutions, the U.S. became the world’s banker. The U.S. rebuilt Western Europe and Japan. But not Russia. Russia rebuilt itself, as did China. The U.S. did other great things, such as putting people in space and on the moon. For several decades, life was just one big party, notwithstanding the threat of nuclear Armageddon. Where the U.S. let us all down in a big way was, instead of investing the vast wealth at its disposal in developing a sustainable future, it invested in a kleptocracy. Over the past 70 years, more and more wealth has been transferred into the hands of fewer and fewer people. As long as the parasites were few in number and the host was strong, nobody noticed. But as the host got weaker, it became necessary to run ever more extravagant Ponzi schemes simply in order to keep the system running. Today the U.S. is bankrupt. This can be seen by its huge trade deficit and national debt. The reason the creditors have
not foreclosed yet is that the U.S. remains the world’s banker. Dollars are no longer backed by any material goods, so they are nothing more than scrip, but they appear to have value as long as we keep buying into the Ponzi schemes. Calling in the markers will result in the collapse of the dollar currency. This will wipe out the U.S. economy, of course, but it will also hurt the creditors who are holding the markers. Nevertheless, in the past decade or so, several nations have attempted to set up an alternate currency. Iraq tried it first and got bombed into rubble. Then Libya tried it and got bombed into rubble. Enter the Ukraine crisis. Russia sees the crisis in Ukraine as an existential threat. Russia acted to protect its self-interest, and will continue to do so. The U.S. is not going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Russia is heavily armed and extremely dangerous. Instead, the U.S. threatens sanctions. Unfortunately, Putin has more resources available than just military force. He knows the U.S. is just like an old tiger that can only catch rabbits. He knows the U.S. is bankrupt. So he turns to China and says, “Let’s set up a new world bank.” China is happy to oblige. The U.S. is going to be knocked off its pedestal entirely, and all nations strongly linked to the U.S. are in for a world of hurt. If this were a poker game, it would be funny. Unfortunately, our lives hang in the balance. Victor Finberg Burnaby

administration about rumours it had heard. The TSSU represents 3,500 staff at SFU, including sessional instructors and teaching assistants. Roth said at a recent town hall meeting on the subject she heard a member of another campus union say they had been working in the building for 20 years and experienced symptoms for much of that time. Part of the problem is that people often aren’t aware what the symptoms are of air quality issues related to mould, she said. When TSSU members were surveyed, few knew about the mould issue or remediation work in the building. “However, when I started saying the symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, flu-like symptoms that never get better or that are associated with the space, I can tell you right now there are five members that believe this has happened to them.” Some have had to take time off work or take migraine medications “all because of spending

time in specific rooms in that building.” Roth noted a U.S. study found 29 per cent of adult-onset asthma is due to indoor air quality. “Because of this communication issue, people don’t know that they are being [subjected] to these conditions. This is not just staff and workers, but students. There are classrooms still being used in that building. If you don’t know that you’re being [subjected] to this, we are concerned they won’t know to tell their doctor.” The issue stems from moisture getting into the 40-year-old education building, something the university discovered over the past two years, said Terry Waterhouse, SFU’s chief safety officer. Not only has it created a problem with mould and indoor air quality, it’s also affected the structure
of the building, he said. While the full extent of the problem won’t be known until this June, when final assessments are completed, remediation work began about a year ago. Already $1 million has been spent on remediating several classrooms, offices and a gymnasium. The replacement of the roof was completed last summer. WorkSafeBC guidelines about indoor air quality are being met, Waterhouse said. If a problem is identified in an area, that space is vacated until the necessary repairs are made. SFU has received about a dozen reports of concerns about the space in general but it’s difficult to determine that mould is directly at fault, he said. “What we do know is that some people are more susceptible

to indoor air quality problems … But the science is not at a stage where a direct correlation can be made to the presence of mould, for example, and a health impact for an individual.” But that direct correlation is not necessary before the university takes action, he noted. Classrooms under remediation and the entire graduate programs wing have been closed and classes and staff relocated until the work is complete, expected sometime this summer. SFU, like other postsecondary institutions, has a problem of regular maintenance being deferred due to a lack of funding from the provincial government. But in this case, repairs are not being delayed as a result. Health and safety issues, as have been found in the Education Building, are never deferred and in fact are at the top of the priority list and “fully resourced,” he said. It’s expected the work, including those involving structural integrity, will take another two to three years to complete. As for TSSU’s concerns about communication over the problem, he said, the university has “communicated broadly” with users of the education building, distributed reports about the work, and held a well-attended town hall meeting in March. “We are certainly attempting to be extremely proactive and transparent within the university community about these issues.” twitter.com/WandaChow

vehicle driven at highway speeds for prolonged periods in hot weather conditions can be a punishing test for tires and the dreaded blow-out is a real concern. Even a tire that looks okay and has plenty of tread remaining may not be in great shape. The “best before” date on most passenger tires is eight years old and you should be able to find a date of manufacture stamped somewhere on sidewall of the tire. A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single underinflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption. Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higheroctane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation. Bob.McHugh@Drivewaybc.ca
“They’re not safe. But it would only be a problem in an accident.”
Confessions of a Curber I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered. You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certified replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light. I called and found that the first option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags. Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can find how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classified websites: Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m flexible on price!! I couldn’t believe how many calls I had. I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an
accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy. Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said. “I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fire and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident. The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship. Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

GVHBA honours the best in Metro Vancouver at the Ovation Awards
By Kerry Vital
The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association celebrated the top companies in the Metro Vancouver residential construction industry at the Ovation Awards, held on April 26 in downtown Vancouver. “Homeowners in Metro Vancouver demand the very best when it comes to the design and construction of their homes,” says GVHBA Chief Executive Officer Bob de Wit. “Vancouver is a leading-edge city and the design and construction of our homes reflects this.
