The proposal is for a mix of business centre, offices, light industrial and warehouses as well as more intensive manufacturing uses. River-dependent industrial uses that would ship and receive products by barge and manufacturing related to boating and shipping have also been accommodated.

Bears are awaking from their winter hibernation and at least one of them may have found its way into Burnaby’s Central Valley. On Sunday evening Burnaby RCMP responded to a call about a black bear wandering through backyards in the 3200-block of Phillips Avenue. Staff Sgt. Major John Buis said patrols in the area didn’t turn up the bear, but an officer later saw it walking toward Coquitlam along the Lougheed Highway. It disappeared into the nearby woods. Buis said while the RCMP doesn’t normally track calls of bear sightings, this one seemed to come “earlier than usual.” He said they normally don’t hear about wandering bears until later in the year, when they’re looking for food to prepare for hibernation. Last week the wildlife alert reporting program of the British Columbia Conservation Foundation logged three sightings in Burnaby in two days.

Jane’s Walk visits the Heights Saturday To look at heritage homes, historic Crabtown

Chinatown, were cancelled due to public protests. Reid will also take people through the area once referred to as Vancouver Heights. “It was going to be like a Shaughnessy, it was going to be quite a tony area.” The walk will end with juice and cookies at Burnaby Heights Park. It will go ahead rain or shine. The neighbourhood association hopes the walk will help its efforts to build a sense of community, said Reid. It’s a chance for people of all ages to meet neighbours for the first time and catch up with people they haven’t seen in a while.

It’s a good thing the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) held its nomination meeting at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown on Saturday. In an earlier interview BCA president Gord Larkin said they didn’t know how

many people would show up, so they booked the Crystal Ballroom at the hotel. Almost 500 party members attended to nominate candidates for the November civic election, according to a BCA press release. As reported in the NewsLeader, the party decided at its March annual general meeting to endorse all its incumbent candidates.

New Place, Familiar Face

The move was in response to the practise of some aspiring candidates who sign up numerous new party members specifically to support them at nomination meetings. With only Coun. Richard Chang indicating he would not seek re-election, that left only one spot open on the party’s election slate. Incumbent school trustee James Wang won the vote for that slot, defeating Katy

All three sightings referred to a black bear rummaging through garbage near a townhouse complex off Cariboo Road. The program records wildlife encounters that have been reported to local conservation officers and displays them on an online map. The foundation’s Bear Aware program recommends keeping garbage, fruit, compost and bird feeders out of the reach of hungry bears to minimize their temptations to wander into urban areas. It says garbage should be kept indoors or in secured containers until the morning it’s to be collected. Compost should be turned regularly and bird feeders should be left empty when bears are active. The foundation estimates an average of 500 black bears are killed every year in the province because they’ve become habituated to the presence of humans or conditioned to eat human food. DAILY

This is dangerous and completely unacceptable,” Corrigan said. He noted that, under the NEB’s plan, the company’s emergency response plan will not have to be submitted “until 90 days prior to commencing operations.” NEB spokesperson Sarah Kiley said the process has more approved intervenors—400 who can file evidence and 1,250 who can submit letters of comment—than for any previous project. Participants are able to submit written information requests of the company before the new May 12 deadline. The issues Burnaby city hall is raising are “exactly the type of thing we’d expect to see in an information request,” Kiley said. Follow up questions can then

The National Energy Board (NEB) has extended the deadline for intervenors to file requests for information on the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. The original deadline was May 2 but following several extension requests, including from the City of Burnaby, it has been changed to May 12. But while Burnaby city hall is pleased, it says it’s still not long enough. “An additional 10 days doesn’t begin to allow enough time to consult experts or to consider the application, then to detail to the NEB the serious threats Kinder Morgan’s proposal poses to our city and citizens,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in a press release. “Kinder Morgan’s pipeline proposal submission is 15,000 pages long and has taken years to prepare. This ridiculous timeline—and the NEB’s simultaneous and shocking removal of the opportunity to crossexamine Kinder Morgan experts—completely subverts the democratic process we’ve all come to expect in Canadian hearings critical to our safety and the safety of future generations.” The city had earlier raised concerns that Mon - Fri: 8:00am - 4:30pm intervenors will not Sat: 10:00am - 3:00pm have a chance at the NEB hearing early next year to question Kinder 604 229 2002 Morgan.

be submitted during the second round of information requests. That deadline is Sept. 11. If the intervenor feels the company hasn’t provided a full answer, they can also apply to the NEB to compel it to do so, Kiley said. There is precedence for the format. Traditionally there have been opportunities for oral crossexamination of evidence, “but we have had hearings in the past where we did not have that option,” she said, calling it a “procedural choice” of the NEB panel. When dealing with highly technical information, “we find that we get better responses, more fulsome responses, if those questions are put in writing.” The oral hearings in January 2015 will be the chance for intervenors to wrap up their final arguments for or against the project.

Arrest made in murder A woman has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the death of a woman in a Hastings Street apartment last December. Burnaby RCMP responded to a suspicious death in an apartment in the 4900-block of Hastings on Dec. 2, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. Foul play was suspected and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was brought in to take over the investigation. The victim was 61-year-old Christina Docherty who was described by police at the time as being “known to police.”

On April 25, IHIT officers secured second-degree murder charges against 60-year-old Trudy Gail Hunter in connection with Docherty’s murder. Hunter was arrested in Maple Ridge without incident and was to appear in Vancouver Provincial Court on April 28. “While this investigation is now before the courts I can confirm that it was connected to the drug trade and was not a random act,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound in a press release. twitter.com/WandaChow

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Whale tale

LAST WEEK:

It’s not often a good news story turns out to be a bad news story. Such appears to be the case with the humpback whale. Last week, the federal government announced it intended to downgrade the status of the humpback whale from threatened to species of concern. That’s good news. The north Pacific population of humpback whales was listed as threatened in 1985. Given the Conservative government’s apparent dislike for anything that contributes to the preservation of the natural world, the initial knee-jerk reaction was to view the downgrading of the humpback’s status with cynicism. But the government’s decision to downgrade the humpback whale’s status came on the recommendation of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. COSEWIC, made up of experts, including university researchers and biologists from provincial and federal agencies, made the determination after considering evidence from extensive population monitoring over the last several decades. Downgrading the status of the humpback means time and money can be applied to helping other species recover. But interest groups, such as the Living Oceans Society, view the government’s decision as just another stone on the highway to giving the Northern Gateway pipeline the green light. A cynical view, but given the haste exhibited by the federal government in downgrading the humpback, the view has gained traction. That’s bad news. The only way the federal government can alleviate that cynicism is to exhibit similar haste when COSEWIC recommends the humpback whale should once again be placed on the list of threatened species. A penny saved isn’t always a penny earned. —Vernon Morning Star

Just a few grown men having a ball Making fun of birders, model railroaders, coin and stamp collectors and Trekkies is low hanging fruit for situation comedy writers. It’s a Good Humour treat I’d like to be able to indulge in. But I can’t. And not because it’s not nice. It’s because I have no right to. It would be hypocritical. So hypocritical. Every spring I immerse myself in something equally as nerdy and reaffirm what I’m sure most people have concluded about me: I really do need to get a life. About 20 years ago Ed Tait, a colleague in the sports department at the Winnipeg Sun introduced me to the world of roto baseball. I’ve been addicted ever since. Just what the heck is roto baseball? Well, it’s the granddaddy of fantasy sports. If hockey pools are basic arithmetic, roto is calculus. It’s got plenty of permutations that make people’s eyes glaze over when an enthusiast like myself tries to explain them. It was developed by a bunch of baseball stats nuts sitting around a table in a New York rotisserie chicken restaurant 30 years ago. That’s why they called it rotisserie baseball, which has colloquially been shortened to roto. It was designed to mimic being

a Major League general manager. Unlike most sports drafts, roto uses an auction method. Owners, as they’re called in roto, have a pseudo salary cap to bid on players as their names come up. The most common cap is $260 for 14 hitters at various positions and nine pitchers. How those poultry pluckers came up with those numbers and combinations is difficult to fathom. Must have had something to do with the amount of chianti flowing that evening. Most scoring systems have eight or 10 categories—if you don’t know what WHIP is, don’t ask—and used to require a slide rule. Fortunately for us there’s plenty of Internet sites to do the calculations for us. Most leagues confine the player pool to either the American or National league, not both. Oh yeah, they also get to keep players from year to year, but that’s getting into TMI territory. (See earlier reference to eyes glazing over.) When Ed first mentioned the auction I was skeptical. I’m not

a good haggler or negotiator so I thought it wouldn’t be for me. But, as he said, if you want a player you can have him as long as you pay enough for him. It avoids the nasty feeling you get when the guy or gal picking ahead of you takes the player you want. But there’s a price to pay for getting the big bashers and mound magicians. Bidding big bucks for them means you might get stuck with some category killers at the end because you’re out of money. Ed said once you do an auction you’ll never go back to a draft. He was right. Too right. A year or two later I hooked up with a 12-team American League auction league based in Brandon. Great bunch of guys. Many of them consider auction day the best day of the year. Even better than Dec. 25. They’re right. We get together ‘Auction Eve’ for baseball banter, and then meet up for breakfast prior to the big event. After it’s over, we head to the pub for grub, suds and an autopsy of the day’s proceedings. No one is going to get rich playing. In fact, I could go broke considering The Lone Grangers have won just once in 17 years and I spend about a grand every year to return to Manitoba’s Mars-like landscape in early

April. (Most people think I’m cuckoo when my answer to their question “Are you going anywhere during your vacation?” is “Manitoba.” I don’t blame them.) While working in Winnipeg I also joined a National League auction that sometimes I’m able to attend live but most years I’ll participate in via Skype. About a decade ago I met Bob “The Moj” Marjanovich, who introduced me to a super serious and competitive league where I’m swimming with sharks. Considering how much they’ve feasted on my blood it’s baffling why I persist. Alas, I figure my role in these auctions is to make the others feel superior about their baseball knowledge. Now that my Christmas in April is over, every evening for the next six months will be spent checking the box scores, making lineup changes, fretting every time one of my pitchers gets lit up or batter strikes out, and contemplating trades. You’re right. I need to get a life. But I won’t. I’m having too much fun. NewsLeader reporter Grant Granger suffers from baseball on the brain.

Time for churches to step up Re: Could churches help fight homelessness? (NewsLeader, April 25) Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell is absolutely right when he suggests churches should take a more proactive role in helping to alleviate homelessness in the community. After all, they do benefit from tax breaks that all citizens ultimately end up subsidizing. Many churches are well equipped to provide services. They have halls that sit empty at night that are often attached to well-equipped commercial kitchens and other facilities. Instead, these churches are sparsely used, most often for Sunday services and the occasional breakfast or lunch prior to or following a service. Many church congregations in the past have participated in selfrighteous feel-good projects once a year where they

go downtown to feed the poor and the homeless. However, many of those projects have since gone by the wayside due to lack of participation. Here is an opportunity for local congregations to make a difference to help alleviate homelessness and hunger. If a congregation does not have a church, why not try to requisition a church that otherwise sits empty and unused or a community or cultural centre that closes its doors after business hours? The sad reality of many churches today is that their congregations over time have diminished and as a consequence many facilities are sitting underutilized. Instead churches have become nothing more than a place for the few to congregate once or twice a week. J.W Christophersen Burnaby

NOT ALL OPINIONS CREATED EQUAL Re: First Brentwood mall tower approved (NewsLeader, April 18) I oppose the density bonus legislation that allows for higher towers in town centres. Contrary to what the mayor believes, there has not been sufficient consultation with those most impacted by the bylaw. Consequently, we see increasing resistance and frustration each time a new project comes before city council. This time the mayor defended the development, noting that “while media reports often point out opposition to a project, the record shows many at the public hearing were in support of the development.” Thanks to Google and “the record,” we can map where the support of the

development comes from. Of the 47 addresses that gave support to the project (I didn’t include addresses outside Burnaby), only seven, or about 15 per cent, were within a one kilometre radius of the project. Some of the seven would be farther if they have to drive the distance. Nine other voices of support came from only four addresses. Most of the support came from north of Hastings Street, south of Canada Way and east of Holdom Avenue. It is easy to support something like this when the consequences don’t directly impact you.

someone somewhere isn’t calling our household asking for a contribution to what it is hoped will become our charity or cause of choice. It has been a trend of 20 years and more created in the main by the continuing withdrawal of government funding of well-established nongovernment organizations, and compounded by an increase in newly formed community-based agencies to replace social services reduced or abandoned in the name of “prudent” spending or “balanced” budgets. Another factor of donation dollar dry-up is the shrinking population that can afford it. At the front end are the poor and the jobless, including young graduates unable to find work for which they trained. And at the back end are retirees who, because of a decrease in

income, can less afford to donate as much as they used to. Indeed, if Canadian employers continue their push-back on pensions, including the Canada Pension Plan, it’s likely that many future retirees will become applicants for rather than financial supporters of charity. And sandwiched between the two is the middle class. But here too the financial pinch of less and less affordability takes its toll. They may be better able to absorb rises in living costs, such as hydro, property taxes, transportation, MSP, housing, auto insurance, and so on, but each rate increase means less discretionary spending. And less discretionary spending means less money to donate. In the end, we are all the poorer for it. Bill Brassington Burnaby

I’ve been at Shannon Oaks for 2 years, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I am the oldest out of 10 siblings; I stayed home to help my mother. I love caring for others. I was a volunteer at different hospitals for many years. What keeps me so youthful is a positive attitude and caring for others.

Rebels fall to Hyacks The New Westminster Hyacks had to battle from behind to beat the Burnaby South Rebels 5-3 in a senior girls high school soccer match at Mercer Stadium last Thursday. After New West scored the first goal, the Rebels countered twice to take a 2-1 lead into the second half. The Hyacks tied the score nine minutes after the break when Celeste Bain ripped a shot past two defenders. Again the Rebels countered and reclaimed the lead eight minutes later. But it was shortlived. Naomi Noda converted a pass from Juliet Davies to even it up a minute later, and then she scored again to put the Hyacks in front again. This time for good. Noda sealed the victory with her hat trick goal, converting passes from Bain and Madison Lee. The win moves

Carrier OF THe WeeK: AJ & SHAYLA

We’ve been doing the NewsLeader paper route together for approximately 8 months. It’s been great getting to know the neighbourhood. Before we started we didn’t know as many neighbours. We like having extra spending money each month. Sometimes we receive small gifts of appreciation which makes us feel like we are doing a good job. Lately, Shayla has been delivering papers by herself while AJ is recovering from a broken leg. Next month AJ will be back. The route takes a few hours a week. We like being NewsLeader carriers!

But for the general public, the most interesting aspect would be the creation of a new trail along the riverfront that would connect with Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park to the west. Proposed amenities include a pier as a lookout and a 5,000-square-foot riverfront restaurant to serve both workers in the area and recreational users of the trail and Foreshore park. New urban trails would be built along the north side of Riverbend Drive, along Wiggins Street and the former Wheaton Street right-of-way to connect the industrial park with the riverfront trail.

She expects to hear more in future about how the new riverfront trail will connect to Foreshore park through the city-owned forested area that sits in between.
