Overflow crowd at pipeline workshop Additional meeting scheduled for Feb. 9 Wanda Chow and Mario Bartel wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

So many people showed up at Saturday’s information meeting on participating in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion process that a second session has been scheduled for Feb. 9, said Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart. Stewart estimated there were about 400 people in attendance at Confederation Community Centre,

and said some people had to be turned away. The meeting was to explain how people can apply to participate in the process and was scheduled after the National Energy Board (NEB) cancelled its own local meetings last fall and opted for online sessions instead. “So far it’s the only meeting of this type,” he said by phone from Ottawa Monday. “The NEB should be doing these things but they’re not.”

Last month, Kinder Morgan filed its 15,000-page formal application with the NEB to almost triple the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby, which would significantly increase tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet as it increases exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets. Stewart stressed the workshop was open to people on both sides of the issue—he saw people there he recognized from all political stripes—and focused on how the

review process works with an eye to helping people apply for intervenor status before the NEB’s Feb. 12 deadline. “There will be plenty of time for people to protest, now is not the time,” he said. Stewart and his staff originally planned to take people from the meeting to his nearby constituency office, which has been turned into an unofficial registration centre, to help people submit their applications.

The first tower being proposed in the transformation of Brentwood mall could give Burnaby a big boost in rental housing. “A total of 591 apartment units are proposed, 300 of which are intended to be purpose-built rental units to be owned and operated by the developer, Shape Properties Corp. and their funding partners,” said a city staff report. Shape Properties, which owns the mall, has applied for a rezoning of the southwest corner of the 28-acre mall site to allow for a 53-storey tower on top of a threestorey commercial podium for which it earlier applied for a rezoning. The project comes after the Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan, which permits towers with a maximum height of 70 storeys, received final approvals from Burnaby council last September.

Plan B part of chess match with NEB ⫸

Prolific offenders nabbed

continued from FRONT PAGE

That was kiboshed by a note on the NEB website saying it would be down for the weekend for maintenance. Stewart’s Plan B move in this seeming chess match was to make up packages for those in attendance, including a form to fill out and sign their consent to have his staff submit applications on their behalf at a later date. He noted that people can either apply online or contact the NEB and have a package mailed out to them, with the deadline looming, but forms are not available to download and submit, limiting people’s options. Among the myths Stewart sought to debunk is that “people have been told the process is difficult to get into but it’s not … It’s an 11-step process but only four of them require you to do anything.” There was a wide range of people in attendance, from teenagers to seniors, as well as a good mix of people for whom English is a second language who noted that so far all of the NEB’s advertising about the process has been only in English. “We know in Burnaby you need to advertise in more than one language” to get the word out, he said. He also had seniors complaining about the online-only aspect of the process, saying if Stewart’s office had not called or mailed out information “they had no idea this

was happening.” Before the meeting on Saturday, Ivan Holmes, 84, said of the pipeline expansion, “I think the whole thing is ridiculous.” A Burnaby resident since 1957, Holmes said he’d rather see more effort to pursue alternative energy sources like solar and wind power. He was frustrated that Saturday’s meeting was the only public forum on the pipeline proposal that he’d heard about. “We are all concerned about the

pipeline and how it will affect our properties,” said North Burnaby resident Renate Stuhler, who lives along the proposed pipeline route. Stuhler said she’s been frustrated by the whole process so far—just an open house that didn’t really give her any straight answers about where exactly the pipeline would go in proximity to her property. And one of the youngest people who attended was Hamish Clinton, a student at Alpha secondary, who said he got interested in the pipeline

issue after his debate team at school discussed the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. Clinton said he’s hoping to learn more about the pipeline going through Burnaby and to see more young people getting involved in the issue. • Kennedy Stewart will be hosting an additional information meeting on Sunday, Feb. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Confederation Community Centre, 4585 Albert St. in Burnaby.

Ambulance station proposed for South Burnaby To consolidate stations in Vancouver, New West, Delta Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

South Burnaby could soon be getting its own ambulance station, if a rezoning proposal becomes a reality. But Burnaby’s gain could come at the expense of Vancouver, New Westminster and Delta, which would see stations there consolidated into a new facility proposed for four lots—6980 and 6992 Buller Ave. and 6977 and 6991 Waltham Ave.

The properties, located between the Wendy’s restaurant on Kingsway and Hemlock Press to the south, are currently vacant and owned by Burnaby city hall, which purchased them in 2011 to prevent new houses and duplexes being built in the industrial area and to protect its future development potential, according to a city staff report. Under its rezoning application, B.C. Emergency Health Services is proposing to purchase the properties to use as the site of a new BC Ambulance station that would consolidate two current stations in Vancouver

and New Westminster, and a special operationsemergency management operations facility in North Delta. The special operations center serves large special events in the Lower Mainland, such as the Giro di Burnaby and Symphony of Fire fireworks shows, as well as an emergency preparedness function for major disasters. The proposed facility would include underground parking, storage space, vehicle restocking space and upper-floor offices and crew quarters. Please see TO HOUSE, A4

Two well-known prolific offenders have been taken off the streets after a Burnaby RCMP investigation. Its Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST) investigated after police were alerted to a spike in apartment break-andenter incidents in late December, including cases involving multiple storage lockers, say Burnaby RCMP. Officers worked with the detachment’s crime analyst to identify trends and possible suspects. A well-known prolific offender was identified and arrested without incident on Jan. 7, ending the area crime spree. Search warrants were later executed at a Burnaby home where police found stolen property including passports, driver licenses, social insurance cards, Carecards, department store credit cards, pieces of mail and computer equipment. Police are processing the hundreds of pieces of evidence with the goal of reuniting them with their rightful owners. Burnaby resident Paul Roderick Lindsell, 32, has been charged with two counts of break and enter and one count of identity theft. Barbara Ann Lawrence, 47, also of Burnaby has been charged with one count each of identity theft and breach of probation.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Setting priorities

LAST WEEK:

The finger-pointing over the plan to hold a referendum on TransLink spending and transportation priorities is getting a little ridiculous. So much so, the Premier has now opened the door to delaying the vote. Last Wednesday the mayors’ council said all Metro Vancouver mayors “unanimously” oppose the referendum. They claim there’s no time to put together a question and “educate” the public before the municipal election, 10 months from now. But other than Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, no mayor has yet proposed an idea to be included in a referendum question. They’d rather be against the concept. On Thursday, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the mayors needed to set some capital spending priorities and propose a question. That’s the first time anyone in the provincial government said such a question should be the responsibility of the mayors. The mayors seem fixated on not raising property taxes for TransLink. Nobody wants to bear the wrath of taxpayers, aka voters, for higher tax bills. Especially when many of those dollars go towards services that may not even serve their community. It seems unlikely that the disparate areas of the Metro region will agree on transit priorities, let alone on new methods for taxing people. Perhaps it’s time to break TransLink up and let the regions north and south of the Fraser set their own priorities. Revenues from each area can go towards services in that area, with both regions contributing to services that cross the river like SkyTrain. It’s time for the mayors and the province to stop pointing fingers and start working together to come up with creative solutions that will deal with the region’s transportation issues. – Langley Times/Black Press

Tug of war for transportation taxes Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the province-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15. Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancouver, you’re not immune from this long-running saga. Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen. Clark has promised a bridge replacement for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann bridge. The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the B.C. Liberal government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities. Clark announced the Massey

Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca

tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. In the same speech, she also pledged to complete the four-laning of the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of highway in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be $650 million over 10 years. Time will tell if that promise is kept. Transportation Minister Todd Stone inherited the mess left behind by former minister Kevin Falcon, who took transit authority away from Metro Vancouver politicians. He appointed a board of experts and set up a toothless “mayors’ council” to rubber-stamp their decisions, after forcing through

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

the Canada Line ahead of a long-promised transit extension to the east. Local politicians wrangled for years over that eastern extension. They finally settled on surface light rail, only to be overruled by the province, which wanted the vastly more expensive SkyTrain. The latest rebuke to the mayors’ council was when they decided not to proceed with a costly new electronic fare card system. Falcon reversed that one after taking a junket to London and falling in love with their “Oyster card” subway system. All the glitches from TransLink’s new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath. Speaking of reversals, Stone is now demanding the mayors come up with their list of priorities for new projects. They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again. Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other

Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours. Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say. Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform. She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes. If it does that, it may be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse. twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

COMMENT

NDP critics blast handling of Silver Creek disaster The Ministry of Environment’s response to the coal spill in Burnaby’s Silver Creek has been its own disaster. It’s been more than a week, and while the trains are back up and running, the B.C. Liberal government has been slow to protect fish and the aquatic environment. While the government has been stalling, much of the coal has been washed further downstream, expanding the problem before it has even been assessed. If this is the kind of “world class” environmental protections the B.C. Liberals have on offer, it’s no wonder British Columbians don’t trust our government to protect the environment.

DOING THE MATH ON BRIDGE TOLLS Some commuters have successfully figured out that paying $3 each way on the Port Mann bridge costs them $6 a day. Their solution to avoid the charge needs a bit of explaining and caused me to scratch my head a bit more than usual. Because, using the Pattullo Bridge costs an extra $7 for gas and is probably 45 minutes more each way, which, if you happen to be a plumber, pours $75, at $50 per hour, in lost wages down the toilet, plus extra wear and tear on the car of course. I am absolutely sure we solved more difficult math problems like that in grade 7 or 8. One of my favourite authors, Jan De Hartog, said in his beautiful Dutch accent: “Tja... Right after I left school, something happened to the human brain. It can not be done anymore...” Really? Maybe here is more proof that the no-fail policy in our classrooms is not working too well. Maybe we should finally demand results, the way we do when visiting our dentist!

It certainly confirms why Canadian students have slipped a few more notches in worldwide performance, even though they spend a couple hours more in math classes per week than those who outperform them! In the meantime: give your head a shake, commuters! Are you really trying to save money? Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

SECRET LIBERALS DON’T WANT US TO KNOW Re: The truth about BC Hydro, private power and the NDP (Jan 22, 2014) I am not happy about BC Hydro raising its rates significantly but it is important to look at why this is happening. That is why I have to respond to David Field’s extremely misleading letter regarding why BC Hydro is forced to raise its rates. The first thing that has to be said is that David Field is a member of a group that shills for the private power industry, BC Citizen’s for Green Energy. Since they were created in the height of the controversy over BC Hydro’s forced reliance on for-profit power corporations, the group has been spreading disinformation that favours increased privatization of private power generators. First, Field tries to put the blame for the huge increase in private power on the NDP. This is simply not true, before the NDP there were 16 contracts awarded for private power in the 1980s, but the capacity was very small. During the NDP government there were five contracts awarded, mostly to very small generators. As of 2010 (When I was last following this issue) the B.C. Liberals had awarded 42 contracts. But the real issue is not the amount of contracts awarded it is the amount of energy and expensive prices BC Hydro was forced to buy electricity rather than producing its own. Second, Field ignores the fact the B.C. Liberals have effectively shut out the B.C. Utilities Commission from its

oversight role into monitoring the expenditures of BC Hydro. They are not allowed to look at alternatives to BC Hydro’s forced purchases from corporate power companies as well as the economic justification for the $1 billion expenditure for ‘smart meters’ and its recent rate increases. Finally, Field (and the private power industry) tries to mislead us by saying that much of the costs BC Hydro faces are due to ‘infrastructure upgrades’ but what isn’t said is that some of this is due building new facilities to accommodate the private power contracts. The sad fact is that if most of these private producers were forced to sell their power on the market, they would not be viable businesses. Instead BC Hydro is forced to buy its power at above market rates and these costs have to be passed on to ratepayers in B.C. This is the secret David Field, the B.C. Liberals and the private power industry don’t want us to know; we are heavily subsidizing the industry through our electricity bills. Murray Martin Burnaby

BEGIN KEPT ON DOING GOOD Thanks for the good article on Gary Begin (NewsLeader, Jan. 3). He was such a fine politician. I voted for him on Nov. 15, 2008. I and many others didn’t understand the voting system and jus voted for as many good people as I could. To no avail, the NDP (Burnaby Citizens Association) got in 100 per cent. What a disappointment, but what a good article on a great man that didn’t let disappointments get him down, he just kept on doing good for others and it paid off. Patricia Coe Burnaby

Supreme Court rejects B.C. class size law again By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Supreme Court has rejected the provincial government’s effort to keep class size and special needs support off the bargaining table with teachers, and ordered the government to pay $2 million in damages to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. In a ruling released Monday, Justice Susan Griffin said the B.C. government’s replacement legislation, passed in 2011, is as unconstitutional as the 2002 law called Bill 28 that removed class size and special needs support from union working conditions. “The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision,” Griffin wrote. “One of the problems was that the government representatives were preoccupied with another strategy. Their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.” The ruling strikes down the portions of the new legislation that have not already expired. BCTF president Jim Iker

said the ruling returns contract language that was in place in 2002, and he expects that the province’s 60 school districts will have to rehire teachers and special needs assistants to reduce class size. He said there were 1,200 education specialists affected by the 2002 legislation, including teacher-librarians and counsellors. “It’s good for us, it’s good for public education, it’s good for British Columbia and for our students,” Iker said of Monday’s ruling. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “disappointed” by the ruling, and

ministry staff will study it before deciding on a possible appeal. Fassbender said he disagrees with the judge’s conclusion that the government tried to provoke a strike, and his focus is on reaching a new agreement. “What we need to do is to review the judge’s ruling in detail to see what the implications are, but clearly my message to school districts, to parents, is it’s business as usual in our schools,” Fassbender said. NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the ruling a “real blow to the B.C. Liberals’ credibility,” adding it traces back to Premier Christy Clark’s time as education minister in 2002.

Survey urged to solve impasse Jeff Nagel Black Press

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson wants to organize a regionwide survey of Metro Vancouver residents about TransLink’s future ahead of an attempt by local cities to help craft a question for the promised referendum on transit funding. Jackson tabled that notice of motion Friday at a Metro Vancouver board meeting as an attempt to help solve the current impasse between the regional mayors council and the province. She says the survey asking

residents what they want for future governance, funding and operation of the transit system would help gauge public opinion and shape a decision on the question. Jackson proposes that senior administrators of all Metro cities would then convene to review the results and make a professional recommendation to the mayors’ council on what question should be taken to the province. “I’m trying to make a stab at having all of us together, all the councils, the very expert staff we have at local levels, to come up with something that we can

all recommend,” Jackson said. Her motion won’t be debated until the next Metro board meeting Feb. 28. Jackson is the lone mayor who supports the concept of a referendum, but added she would understand if the provincial government decides there is insufficient time to hold it as promised with the Nov. 15 municipal elections. “We are not in the driver’s seat – we are a creature of the provincial government,” Jackson said. “They say there will be a referendum but if they change direction that’s certainly up to them.”

NO MONEY DOWN NO ENROLMENT* (on a 2 year membership)

Transit vote could be delayed, Clark says By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has left the door open to a delay in her promised referendum on Lower Mainland transportation funding. Speaking to reporters after a speech to a mining conference Monday morning, Clark said she and Transportation Minister Todd Stone are open to proposals from Metro Vancouver. “I appreciate that these referenda can be complicated, and these have been complicated in other jurisdictions, and sometimes they need a little more time,” Clark said. “That’s what the mayors

have been saying. Todd Stone is continuing to talk with them about that. So will I.” Clark has previously insisted a referendum on new funding sources for new transit and roadworks should be held in conjunction with municipal elections set for Nov. 15. Stone said last week it is up to the TransLink’s mayor’s council to work together and define the region’s top priorities for rapid transit, bridge and road projects. Mayors objected to that idea, since the province has a board of appointed experts that has been in charge of choosing projects in recent years.

Red envelopes containing “lucky money” are a big part of Chinese New Year celebrations.

Lots of places to celebrate around Burnaby It’s almost the year of the horse, and there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Burnaby. On Jan. 31 at 3 p.m. the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library will have a special celebration of the lunar new year with performances by the Burnaby International Folk Dancers. Later that evening there will be a Chinese New Year skate at the Kensington arena, 6:30-9:15 p.m., with face painting, crafts and special games. On Feb. 1 there will be no fewer than three Chinese New Year celebrations across the city. The fun gets started at Lougheed Town Centre at 10:30 a.m. with a parade of Korean drummers through the mall, followed by Korean performances at Centre Court. The popular lion dance will be held at 12 p.m. The Crystal Mall will ring in the year of the horse with a lion dance, calligraphy demos and carnival games from 12-4 p.m. And in Burnaby Heights, Hastings Street merchants will be visited by the colourful lion dancers from 12-2:30 p.m. On Feb. 5, the lion will awaken at the Grand Court at Metropolis at Metrotown at 10 a.m. and parade through the mall to bless merchants. People born in the year of the horse are

thought to be clever, kind to others, perceptive and talented. But sometimes they talk too much. Celebrities born in the year of the horse include Rembrandt, Genghis Khan, Denzel Washington, Cindy Crawford and Jerry Seinfeld.

typically includes a lavish spread featuring dishes like chicken, fish and pork. Chinese New Year celebrations last for 15 days. During these celebrations, students and migrant workers return home, and much of the country is in

transit. The festivities culminate on Chap Goh Mei, or the 15th night, which also involves a family meal as well as music and decorations. The Horse is the seventh sign of the Chinese Zodiac. The horse is a favourite animal of the Chinese because it provided dependable transportation for them through the centuries. It is both a symbol of travel and sign of speedy success. People born in the Year of the Horse are said to have lots of energy, live active lifestyles with animated personalities. This would apply to those born in 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1990 and 2002. Please see NEXT PAGE

Monster called Nian continued from PREVIOUS PAGE

The origin of Chinese New Year is not entirely certain. One legend suggests there was once a monster called Nian, who appeared each spring to attack Chinese villages. Legend has it that during these attacks Nian would eat anything to come in his path, be it plants, animals and even human beings.

Fearful of Nianâ€™s return, villagers one spring hung red paper on their doors and lit bamboo on fire when Nian arrived. The bright colours and crackling of bamboo burning startled Nian, who turned and fled. Since then, Chinese people hang red paper and lanterns outside their homes and loud noises, particularly those from

firecrackers, are common on the eve of the new year. Families celebrate it by cleaning their homes to get rid of any misfortune and bring on good luck. There are fireworks, firecrackers, and lion and dragon dances as well. This year the Chinese New Year will be celebrated on Friday Jan. 31.
