Three groups at Simon Fraser University have teamed up to launch an information campaign to ensure students’ voices are heard in the TransLink funding referendum slated for later this year. But with no date and no question yet set for the vote, which will determine how TransLink will pay for future services, it’s a bit of a moving target, admitted Chardaye Bueckert of the Simon Fraser Student Society.

that bypass stops on their way to the Burnaby Mountain campus. “It’s a pretty big stressor for a lot of students.” And it’s only getting bigger, with the recent loss of about 1,000 parking spots in a parking lot that has been closed to make way for a new condo development. Bueckert said inadequate transit consistently turns up as a complaint of undergrad students who complete an exit survey about their experience at SFU when they graduate.

It appears the local film industry is on the rebound if the experience of one Burnaby business is any indication. Last year, Can Am Importique auctioned off half its inventory of props to help stave off closure of the decades-old business. Less than a year later, things are looking up, says Can Am’s owner, Paul Pincott. “Talk about a sigh of relief. I’m so thankful 2013 is gone. It’s a bad luck number to begin with.” Pincott said he’s not out of the woods yet. His prop rental business in the Lake City area is “still a little soft,” largely due to computergenerated imaging reducing the need for physical props. And with most of his props based on a retro and nostalgic look, it’s not fitting in with some of the major film shoots currently in town, such Tomorrowland starring George Clooney.

Just Grade 9, but top of the math class North student tops among Canadian math students Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
A Burnaby North secondary student has won first place in a prestigious national math competition, ahead of thousands of high school students from across Canada. What’s most impressive is the student, Qi Qi, is only in Grade 9, and scored higher than older students in the Canadian Mathematical Society’s Canadian Open Math Challenge (COMC). Second place went to Young Suk Choi, a Grade 12 student at elite Vancouver private school St. George’s, and a third-place tie went to Frank Zhu, in Grade 12 at University Hill secondary in Vancouver and Zhi Xue Chen, a Grade 10 student from Ontario. Qi said in an interview that her math skills appear to come naturally. Her father, an architect, is also good at math, and as early as Grade 3 in her native Hangzhou, China, she was placed in an advanced math class. “I like math because it’s logical,” Qi said. She said she’s benefited from the education systems in both China and Canada. “Living in China gave me a pretty solid base of math and also made

me realize I’m good at math,” she said. “In Canada, I have more free time to explore higher levels of math.” Indeed, she’s currently taking online math courses from a U.S. organization. That’s in addition to her classes at North, which include Advanced Placement (AP) calculus, AP statistics and pre-calculus 12. That will leave her with no more high school math courses to take next year in Grade 10. Qi figures she’ll adjust by focusing on science courses before she’s able to take university level math, possibly in Grade 12. As for the math competition, she
said she didn’t expect to finish as well as she did. After the two-anda-half-hour exam, she felt “pretty good” and thought it was easier than last year’s contest, in which she finished 20th overall in Canada, and won the top spot among Grade 8s. But she figured everyone else’s marks would be higher too. Nevertheless, she’s pleased the finish will bring her to the attention of those who choose students to attend the International Math Olympiad. It’s her goal to one day compete for Team Canada, although she modestly believes she’s got some stiff competition, especially from Canadian students who study in the
Aim to get strong turnout
U.S., apparently a hotbed of math wizardry. Qi came to Canada with her family when she was in Grade 6, settling in Prince Edward Island before moving to Burnaby for Grade 7. For Jenny Young, head of the math department at Burnaby North, Qi’s achievement doesn’t come as a huge surprise. She recalled when Qi was in Grade 7 at Capitol Hill elementary, her father called Young asking if his daughter could write the University of Waterloo’s Cayley math contest for students in Grade 10 and younger. “She scored perfect on it.” So when Qi entered Grade 8, she was placed in a Grade 10 honours math class, taught by Young herself, but a couple months into the year she said it wasn’t challenging enough. After she was able to prove it, she was placed in a Grade 11 math class. The University of Calgary math professor Robert Woodrow, chair of the COMC committee, said by email that it “isn’t at all common” to see younger students perform above their grade level because their math background isn’t usually as full as for older students. “For a Grade 9 student to come first amongst all those who wrote at Canadian schools is very impressive and shows great promise for future participation in national and international competitions.”

The groups also sent a joint letter to the Minister of Transportation expressing their concerns about transit and their desire to work with the government to ensure strong participation in the referendum from students. Among their ideas to really fire up students as the referendum date approaches is to bring a gondola car to campus to display during orientation. One of the proposals that has been floating around for years to improve transit to SFU is a gondola that would directly connect the school with the Production Way SkyTrain station. They’re also planning to pass out flyers to students left waiting at stops by full buses. “We’re treating this like a political campaign,” said Lane.

‘Things are definitely percolating here’ ⫸
TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 12957 cited as “Burnaby Highway Closure Bylaw No. 3, 2011” pursuant to Section 40 of the Community Charter. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to close and remove the dedication of certain portions of highway – closure of road allowance North of Trans Canada Highway, West of Westminster Avenue and East of Beta Avenue - formerly 4751 and 4841 Trans Canada Way (all that portion of road in District Lot 73, Group 1, New Westminster District dedicated as road by Plan 26541 containing 1.682ha) shown outlined and described as Lot 1 on Reference Plan prepared by Grant Butler, B.C.L.S. It is proposed to place this bylaw before City Council for consideration of Final Adoption at the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 2014 February 24. The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C.

On the other hand, “anybody that’s in construction they’re having a field day right now, they’re so busy,” he said, noting he’s heard there are “close to 3,000 construction workers on Tomorrowland … They’re building big, big sets.” For the industry as a whole, “there’s no question the [weakening Canadian] dollar has really made a difference.” Pincott has noticed his phone ringing a lot more often as a result. And while the provincial government has so far refused to match tax credits being offered to the film industry in Ontario, he’s optimistic. “It looks like for all intents and purposes they’re on board or at least they’re saying so,” he said. “If you’re doing a million-dollar picture, if you can save 10 per cent by going to Toronto or Montreal, what would you do? That’s a lot of spare change in your pocket.” As for Can Am Importique, Pincott will be holding another small auction on Feb. 15 to free up room for his Lake City Studios. He’s trying to find a tenant to sublet 10,000 square feet he’s got vacant, and has been renting out

studio space for music videos, short films, commercials, photo shoots and TV. And he plans to do more work props-wise with event planners. “I was so close to shutting her down with the lack of business and it becoming apparent this industry was going nowhere but it’s certainly all of a sudden had an about-turn,” Pincott said. “It is up and down, has been kind of that way over the years,” he said of the film industry. “I’ve been doing this for 38 years, so I’ve seen it all, but definitely last year was one of the worst.” Last year it became apparent an increasing number of film productions were headed back east to take advantage of the additional tax credits. But he’s not sure, other than the falling dollar, what is causing the turnaround now locally. “All I know is things are definitely percolating here right now. I hope it continues.” Oh, the weather back east might be helping. “Can you imagine filming back there when it’s 40 below? No, thank you.” twitter.com/WandaChow
A 65-year-old Burnaby man died while hiking the BCMC Trail on Grouse Mountain Jan. 12. North Shore Search and Rescue responded to a call late Sunday morning that a hiker was in cardiac arrest near the top of the 3.3 km trail that runs just east of the popular Grouse Grind. The trail has an average gradient of 25.8 per cent according to the Club Tread website. Search and Rescue coordinated an effort to get to the man that involved several emergency agencies. Two nearby hikers immediately performed CPR, but the man could not be revived. While the Grouse Grind closes for the winter, experienced hikers often access the BCMC trail that shares the same trailhead as the Grind and gains a total elevation of 818 metres.

It wasn’t a record year, but 2013 building permit figures were at their highest level in Burnaby since the economic downturn of 2008. Last year, permits with a construction value totalling $674.7 million were issued by Burnaby city hall, according to a city staff report. That’s up significantly from 2012 when permits valued at $514.7 million were issued, 2011 ($615.5 million) and 2010 ($539.7 million). Burnaby’s record year was in 2008, when it approved $792.4 million worth of permits. The effects of the global economic downturn weren’t felt until the following year, in 2009, when the figure plummeted to just under $422 million.

Mark Labrecque is looking to put an end to prostate cancer. The PhD candidate in health sciences at Simon Fraser University is on the leading edge of research into the genetic composition of prostate cancer cells. The results of his work could eventually lead to specific chemotherapy drugs that would target the genetic codes that allow those cells to create new blood vessels to feed the tumour or to spread elsewhere in the body. Labrecque’s research recently received a major boost when he was named one of five students to be awarded $40,000 scholarships by Prostate Cancer Canada. The money will allow the researchers to “achieve results and alter the way this disease affects men and their loved ones,” said Rocco Rossi, the CEO of Prostate Cancer Canada. The stakes are high. Prostate cancer affects one in seven Canadian men. “It’s such a common cancer, it’s tough not to have it staring

you in the face,” said Labrecque, 28. The death of federal NDP leader Jack Layton from prostate cancer put a further spotlight on the disease, increasing pressure to find new treatments or even a cure. But, said Labrecque, it’s the slow, meticulous work that’s likely to get results. He’s been toiling in his lab at SFU since 2008, after he earned his undergrad degree in health sciences at the University of British Columbia. His advisor at the time was doing research on breast cancer and the two diseases shared some similarities on a celluar level that piqued Labrecque’s interest. At the time, said Labrecque, there was little known about the genetic structure of prostate cancer cells. “We’ve been starting from scratch,” said Labrecque, who figures he still has another yearand-a-half of work ahead of

The money will make that time period easier, allowing him to concentrate full time on his research rather than worrying about making ends meet on the nominal stipends earned by graduate students. “It’s not exactly the most glamourous life being a student all the time,” said Labrecque. More importantly, the award is a confirmation that he’s on the right track. Each applicant had their work vetted by a panel of experts and top researchers in the field. “Everybody likes positive reinforcement,” said Labrecque, who will also be teamed with a mentor he can tap into for further guidance. “Every year we make small steps,” say Labrecque. “I’m hoping one day we’ll be able to get rid of this.”

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
An NDP revival?
LAST WEEK:
Now we know the when. Perhaps soon we’ll learn the who. The BC NDP announced over the weekend that it will announce its new leader to succeed Adrian Dix on Sept. 28. That leader will be chosen by party members in a vote to be conducted Sept. 24-27 over the phone and online. The party’s president, Craig Keating, said he’s looking forward to an “exciting leadership election with great candidates.” Except, so far there aren’t any candidates. Great or otherwise. Three federal NDP Members of Parliament from B.C. have said they’re not interested. Peter Julian, Fin Donnelly and Nathan Cullen all bowed out even before they bowed in. Kennedy Stewart, the MP for Burnaby-Douglas, is still mulling his decision. As is Jinny Sims, the federal NDP representative from Newton-North Delta. Their reticence is understandable. As members of the official opposition in Ottawa, they’re all strong voices for issues they and their constituents believe in. They’re members of a party that captured voters’ imaginations in the last federal election and continues to get attention countering decisions and legislation made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. B.C. politics, on the other hand, is a snake pit. Nobody knows that better than Dix, who seemed to have victory in last spring’s provincial campaign in the bag but found himself delivering a concession speech instead. Now that the date has been set for the party’s leadership vote, most observers expect candidates to begin announcing their intentions as well. And no doubt as those names are known, and those candidates start hustling for support, the always entertaining world of B.C. politics will burn with renewed energy and entertainment.

It’s time to privatize Canada Post Privatization has become something of a dirty word in Canada, mostly for reasons nobody can articulate without forgoing logic. Despite rising health care costs, a public broadcaster whose own revenues represent just two thirds of the taxpayer subsidy it receives, or a monopolistic mail service, people hold fast to the idea that public ownership is always in the public interest. Yeah, but here’s the thing. It isn’t. While there are some institutions which shouldn’t be privatized for obvious ethical reasons (education and corrections come to mind), others could really use a shot in the arm from the private sector. Back when television was a new concept and even the guys who had lost fingers in sawmill accidents could count the number of channels on the air, it made sense to subsidize the CBC. But in the year 2014 with satellite TV, streaming Internet
Adrian MacNair feeds, and alternative media it doesn’t make any sense to pretend that dumping $1 billion a year into a single broadcaster is a wise investment. Similarly, when in 1867 our postal service was administered under the newly founded Dominion of Canada, it was a means of connecting a vast country of sparse settlements. Prior to rural mail delivery, Canadians in little towns like Ladner would have had little contact with the outside world. When the first free rural mail service was instituted in Canada in 1908, it ushered in a host of infrastructure improvements, including road and rail projects. That was all well and good.

But let’s fast-forward once again to 2014. In the face of declining mail volumes and rising costs, Canada Post is on pace to post a $1 billion loss by 2020. And with a powerful public sector union which refuses to make reasonable concessions such as lowering the starting wage for untrained postal workers from $24 an hour, the Crown Corporation has little recourse but to stop home delivery service and raise the costs of stamps to a price that will send even more people to e-commerce. I have a better idea. Sell it. Sell it all. With a market value of $17 billion, the federal government could balance its own fiscal deficit and have some left over to put into paying down the sizable debt it has accumulated since 2008. More importantly, selling off Canada Post piecemeal could be much like the wireless spectrum

auctions and provide some competition in areas of Canada where it’s sorely needed. It’s not like it’s unprecedented. The Royal Mail in the United Kingdom, established in 1516, got the ball rolling in that regard in late September 2013 following a public bailout of its £10-billion pension deficit. Mail delivery is an information service, like your cable, Internet, and phone bills, and as such it should be subject to fair play to the forces of the marketplace.

COMMENT
The truth about BC Hydro, private power and the NDP Re: Hydro hikes will hurt our students (Letters, NewsLeader, Jan. 15) Perhaps a little navel gazing is in order for Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan concerning her letter to the editor regarding BC Hydro and the BC Liberals. While it is true that it was a decade of mismanagement on the BC Hydro file, the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the NDP during their “reign of terror” from 1991 to 2001. It was a decade when rate increases were frozen (clearly in the hopes of appealing to the electorate) thereby handcuffing BC Hydro’s ability to re-invest in much-needed and ongoing infrastructure upgrades to the generation, distribution and transmission systems that power our province. Perhaps Ms. Corrigan can suggest other ways for BC Hydro to fund the $14 billion needed to keep the lights on and continue to power the province, considering the NDP still “siphoned off ” the annual government dividend during their term in office and failed to meet their fiduciary duty to the people’s public utility. While much misinformation has been put forward by the NDP about the purchasing of privately generated electricity in the province, Ms. Corrigan fails to mention that of the long term contracts signed so far (20-30 years at fixed rates tied to inflation), the majority of them were from the NDP who started this trend in 1992 going forward. She also neglects to point out that only six per cent of the total electricity capacity generated in the province comes from private sources. Ms. Corrigan also conveniently neglects to reveal the fact that Burnaby, whose husband is the mayor, is host city to an independent power producer and financially benefits by that fact. This waste to energy facility generates 170,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, or simply put enough power for 15,000 homes. Let us also not ignore the fact that B.C. ranks third in North America for having the lowest electricity rates, only slightly above Quebec and Saskatchewan. Taking into account the rate of inflation B.C. residents are paying the
same price for electricity now as they did in 1970. I’m glad that MLA Corrigan brought up the topic of smart meters, a wise decision supported by other private and public utilities around the world as the best way to go forward. A business case has been ratified by BC Hydro that in order to respond faster to power demands and prevent electricity theft, smart meters are a musthave item. The simple truth is that the number of companies producing the ancient and inefficient analog meters has declined while the digital meter suppliers have increased. BC Hydro has wisely instituted financial incentive programs that enable residential, commercial and industrial users to conserve electricity. A well-known fact is that 80 per cent of an electricity bill is due to lighting in buildings. A retrofit program is available through BC Hydro to offset the costs for replacing the inefficient, expensive and short lifespan incandescent and CFL lighting with higher efficiency, lower cost and long lifespan LED lights. So perhaps MLA Corrigan should set her sights on addressing and assisting schools in B.C. to reduce their carbon footprint, save money and keep the schools open, starting in her own backyard.

CITY HAS LOST A GOOD CITIZEN Re: Former Burnaby councillor Doug Evans dies As a reporter covering Burnaby council in the 1990s, I always appreciated what Doug Evans had to say. He was a real advocate for the “little guy.” It’s something many politicians claim to be, but the actions of very few match the rhetoric. He was from the old school of union leaders — people who kept up to date with working conditions at the mills and cared about their fellow workers. Burnaby has lost a good citizen.

REWARD, DON’T PUNISH, PEOPLE WITH TREES Re: Tree bylaw should be put to a vote (Letters, NewsLeader, Jan. 8) While I agree with Wayne Lutz’s sentiment in opposing changes to Burnaby’s current tree bylaw, I do not, however, support his call for a referendum. The survey taken by the city was ridiculously small, but I do not believe a city-wide vote would yield a different result. According to the city, only 25 per cent of residential homeowners have trees large enough to be affected by the changes to the bylaw. These voters would likely overwhelmingly vote against the changes but the 75 per cent who would not be affected could easily outvote the minority. I do, however, hope the mayor and council take Mr. Lutz’s advice and delay the finalization of these changes until after the civic elections. These bylaw amendments appear political in nature because they appease the local activists who would favour an even more restrictive bylaw. Only the most meagre attempts have been made to justify these onerous restrictions on a minority of taxpaying residents. In an increasingly urban centre such as Burnaby do we really want more older, larger and more dangerous trees on relatively small lots? Is it fair for one’s neighbour, through city bylaws, to have a say on whether I live in sun or shade, whether I may have the view he enjoys and whether I must live in fear on stormy nights even if I no longer wish to? Burnaby has a duty to treat all residential property owners equally. If it were to place an infringement or restriction on my property rights as opposed to my neighbour’s property it must compensate me and not punish me. I respectfully ask the city council to have the courage to abandon their efforts to change the current tree bylaw and look for ways to reward, not punish, citizens who have trees on their lots.

Celebrate Chinese New Year It’s almost the year of the horse, and there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate Chinese New Year in Burnaby. Brentwood Town Centre will be holding its Chinese New Year festivities on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Activities for kids and adults include demonstrations by a Chinese dough maker and grasshopper maker, traditional lion dance performances and the blessing of the merchants. 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 Damcers. 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 Saturday, 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 noon. The Crystal Mall will ring in the year of the horse with a lion dance, calligraphy demos and carnival games from noon to 4 p.m. And in Burnaby Heights, Hastings Street merchants will be visited by the colourful lion dancers from noon to 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 clever, kind, perceptive and talented—but sometimes talk too much. Celebrities born in the year of the horse include Genghis Khan, Denzel Washington, Cindy Crawford and Jerry Seinfeld.

Burnaby Lakers draftee Tyler Digby scored three goals as the Vancouver Stealth won their first National Lacrosse League game in dramatic fashion in Langley on Friday. The Stealth edged the Colorado Mammoth 14-13 in overtime. New Lakers goalie Tyler Richards made 31 saves to pick up the win. Burnaby native Alex Gajic had a goal and two assists while his older brother Ilija had one of each. Both will play for the Lakers this summer. However, the next night in Calgary the Stealth fell 15-12 to the Roughnecks to fall to 1-2 on the season. Digby had a goal and an assist while Richards made 45 saves in taking the loss. Former Jr. Laker Dane Dobbie scored five goals for Calgary.

Digby scores NLL hat trick
The Burnaby South Rebels finished fourth at the Abbotsford Snowball senior boys high school basketball tournament on the weekend. The Yale Lions of Abbotsford downed the Rebels 71-68 in the third place game Saturday. Six-foot-five, Grade 11 star guard Jermaine Haley led South with 21 points after sitting out the first two games of the tourney with hip flexor injuries that he aggravated in a league game against the Byrne Creek Bulldogs earlier in the week. “I think he’s still growing, and he’s still a little soft in his joints,” South head coach Dave Smith told Black Press earlier in the tournament. Martin Bogajev contributed 13 points in the third place game. He also had two key blocks in the final 10 seconds to preserve a 69-67 victory over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Thursday. With Haley out of the lineup, Tyus Batiste stepped up by scoring 25 points while Djordje Obradovic netted 12.
