Hospital’s bad review out of date: doctor Wanda Chow

Ministry considering moving Burnaby to Vancouver Coastal

Terry Lake announced the health authority will get an additional $60 million over two years to help open up more community care beds, among other initiatives. Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan criticized the ministry for laying blame at Fraser Health when it is moves by the Liberal government, she said, which caused many current problems. When first elected in 2001, the Liberals promised to build 5,000 more long-term care beds to help free up acute care beds. Please see FRASER HEALTH, A3

Agropur Cooperative has purchased the former Safeway dairy plant in South Burnaby as part of a $356-million transaction that also includes two plants in Edmonton and one in Winnipeg. How this could affect the proposed Southgate development next door on the former Safeway distribution centre lands is not yet known. Agropur said in a press release that the sale includes licensing of the Lucerne trademark for the production and distribution of milk and cream and long-term supply agreements. “We are very excited about this transaction,” said Serge Riendeau, president of Quebecbased Agropur, in the release. “The dairy industry, both Canadian and worldwide, is very competitive.

And now this report says ‘oops, it’s not working the way we thought it was going to.’” Corrigan noted that some of the issues faced by Burnaby Hospital are related to the aging facility and its outdated design, which was identified as being one of the factors in the C. difficile outbreaks linked to dozens of deaths in recent years.

Burnaby Stanley Cup rioter convicted Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Three years after the fact, a Burnaby man has been convicted for his part in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver. Curtis Blaine Hill was recently convicted of participating in the riot and of break-and-enter with the intent of committing an indictable offence. Hill, a North Burnaby resident, and a friend had been drinking before heading downtown. They drank some more when they arrived before the end of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final when the

Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins June 15, 2011. When the riot started, they did not leave the area despite the efforts of police to disperse the crowd. Instead, Hill, then 33, and his friend were among those that broke into the London Drugs store at the corner of Georgia and Granville streets. At one point, Hill testified he did not know there was a riot until he was affected by the tear gas, something Provincial Court Judge M. Giardini said in his reasons for judgment was “simply not credible.” Hill claimed he was only

at the store trying to get his friend to leave, according the judgment. The friend claimed Hill never tried to do so. In fact, London Drugs surveillance video showed Hill walking into the store directly behind his friend. Once inside, instead of following his friend, Hill is seen heading off into a different direction. Giardini could not conclude from the video footage that Hill stole anything once inside, but noted that is not necessary to convict on the break-andenter charge. Hill also argued his charges should be stayed because his rights were infringed upon.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Get out, stay cool, and enjoy

LAST WEEK:

It’s hot. There’s no doubt summer has arrived in earnest this week, sending temperatures near record levels across the region. Many of us have sought solace as we can. Snapping up fans and mini air conditioners off the shelves. Heading to the beach or the local outdoor pool. Heck, even dipping our feet in a bucket full of ice water. Whatever works. Some of us are lucky enough to get out of town for a while, camping or holidaying near the ocean or a lake where we can cool off. The rest of us, those in town out of choice or necessity, may be tied to our usual routines and responsibilities. If possible, this is a good time to break out a little. Forget the routines, let the dishes wait, put the projects around the house on hold. This kind of weather is only here for a brief stretch. We’ll be back to wet and cool before we know it. By drinking our fill of what we’ve been given today, we might—just possibly—be a little more able to savour those romantic, drizzly West Coast days that come in earnest by November. Head down to the beach with a basket of food and a blanket after work to savour the sunset. Invite some friends over for a barbecue, or meet them in one of our fantastic local parks for a picnic. Locally, if you want to be on the river, try Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby or Westminster Pier Park in New Westminster. If you want to be on the ocean, Barnet Marine Park is a fantastic place to savour the evening (and a little shade) at the end of the day. Go to the fireworks, the festival—whatever strikes your fancy. Summer’s here. Embrace it.

THIS WEEK: Will faster speed limits on highways make them less safe? Vote at www.burnabynewsleader.com

Letting drivers set speed limits VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can

Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca

confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-andtunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will

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

automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are.

In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in a decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

COMMENT

Leadership starts at the top I’ve lived my whole life trying to do the right thing. It was the way we were raised. We were just part of what was called the moral majority. This idea has all changed now to the idea that if you don’t get caught it isn’t wrong. We are moving closer and closer to a lawless society. Take Mayor Derek Corrigan’s recent stand on the ticket he got for distracted driving. I would never think to fight a ticket I deserved. He should man up and pay it. He could probably find a way for us to pay for it somehow anyway. The other day while walking I saw a City of Burnaby dump truck make a left turn at the roundabout without going around. Leadership starts at the top. Michael Eaton Burnaby

to the inundation. Our sewage treatment systems rely on the fact that water flows downhill, and they require that the water table be significantly below the source points. Now, as the water rises near Miami, it’s coming too close to the sources of sewage, and when flooding happens, it’s not just plain water, but sewage that’s flowing the wrong way. Welcome to the new reality of climate change. John Les, a BC Liberal insider and current chair of the Farm Industry Review Board recently attended a conference of the Heartland Institute. The Heartland Institute is a climate change denier think tank whose sole purpose is to create semi-plausible lies to trick people to not act on climate change. Why is a B.C. government official associating with these people? Does he need to acquire a new bag of lies? We have to insist on a better standard of behaviour from our public officials. I think John Les needs to be forced to resign immediately. Victor Finberg Burnaby

Fraser River risks threaten economy: report Business groups back urgent action on flood works Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new report underscores the Fraser River’s importance to the Lower Mainland economy and calls for an urgent program of dredging and other flood prevention measures, as well as upgrades to critical infrastructure. Commissioned

by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with other chambers in the region, the study warns the region escaped a very close call in 2007. “The river came perilously close to overtopping the dikes in the Fraser Valley during the spring freshet,” says the report, which is to be released at a conference today.

winter storm surges that already could overtop the very extensive diking system along the tidal part of the river and adjacent coastal reaches.” Facing the challenges posed by the river is made more difficult by the fragmented governance of the region, the report said, noting there are 15 municipal governments, 29 first nations and more than 20 provincial or federal ministries involved in administration of the river. “It is very important that a renewed, collaborative, multilevel government effort be undertaken to renew protection from floods.” The report echoes concerns raised by Port Metro Vancouver over the loss of industrial land along the river to residential redevelopment projects approved by local

cities. It also calls for ongoing active maintenance dredging of the lower river channels to New Westminster for shipping. And it describes the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a bridge as “an urgent priority” in light of its vulnerability to an earthquake and the potential for larger or more heavily laden ships to sail upriver once it’s removed. It also urges replacement of the aging New Westminster rail bridge, which causes significant delays for freight trains and is vulnerable to be being knocked out of service by a ship collision. A two-track train tunnel under the river has been suggested but there are no concrete plans.

Edmonds Show and Shine, said one of the organizers, Shauna Pratt. Edmonds Street will be closed to traffic between Kingsway and Canada Way from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. That will make way for the car and motorcycle show. While that part of the event is largely weather dependent—owners of the restored vehicles don’t like driving them in the rain—last year more than 100 vehicles showed up and registration is up for this year, said car show organizer Bonnie Game by email. This year’s car show event will conclude with a “poker run” at 3:30 p.m. that will see participating drivers all head to sponsor Grand Villa Casino to compete for cash prizes. As for the rest of the fair, there will be more entertainment, said Pratt. Marilyn Monroe and Elvis tribute acts will be back this year and there will be more performers in the talent search that runs from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Also taking the stage at New Vista Place and Edmonds are a dog training show by Doggie Mind, a demonstration by Columbia Martial Arts, Dance n’ Stars Showcase, and a sign language performance by the Tzu Chi Institute.

Burnaby firefighters will be offering an affordable hotdog lunch, among the food vendors. This year will see more Edmonds merchants open for business and involved in the event, including almost all the restaurants.

The City Fair used to take place in September and the car show was in the summer. “Both had challenges to keep things rolling,” said Pratt, but their merger has led to an event that’s grown from year to year. “Our whole intention was for people and the merchants

The Edmonds City Fair Story For many years volunteer committees organized an Edmonds Show ’n Shine Car Show while another group of volunteers, inspired by Burnaby City Coun. Paul McDonell, created the annual Edmonds City Fair. Then, a few years ago, it became clear that combining the two would be a great innovation and Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car & Motorcycle Show was born. (These same people bring you the Edmonds Festival of Lights in the winter). The organizing committee consists of people from local nonprofit organizations, local firefighters, RCMP and community service groups, as well as the merchants of Edmonds Street and City of Burnaby staff. Each year the event gets better and better.

of our members, producers and owners” Marc Labelle, Agropur’s director of public relations and communications, said the sale includes both the Burnaby plant’s land and operations, which employ about 70 people. The sale still requires regulatory approvals before it’s finalized, something that is expected to happen within the next month, Labelle said from Longueuil, Que. “They’re very, very good plants. They’re optimal, I don’t see anything happening there other than business as usual,” he said. The plant was purchased from Sobeys which itself bought Safeway last year. Milk produced there will continue to be distributed through Safeway and Sobeys stores. The 42-acre Safeway distribution centre site, bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, was sold to developer Ledingham McAllister in 2011. It is currently planning a 48-acre community dubbed Southgate. The draft concept plan includes the dairy plant site as well as two city-owned properties, 7701 and 7679 18th St., to serve as a connection to the City in the Park neighbourhood and the Edmonds SkyTrain station. The concept calls for a variety of housing types, including up to 20 towers ranging in height from 19 to 46 storeys. At its heart will be a five-acre park with a small lake and meandering stream. “The Southgate plans are based on a phased plan of development, with development of the site expected to be pursued over 10, 15 or more years,” said Burnaby city

planning director Lou Pelletier by email. “The Dairy Plant site is part of this phased program, and as such, the plan will not require any adjustments related to current or future ownership interests. “We had always expected that the Dairy Plant would continue operating for a period of time under the planned phased development program. The development timing for lands in the Southgate plan area, similar to other development in the City, is advanced based on the interests of the land owner.” Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s community development committee, expressed disappointment at the sale. “I think that’s too bad because that particular piece of property won’t be available for development as part of the plan for the area, not in the immediate future, that’s for sure.” If the concept and master plans are eventually approved by city council, the development could turn the dairy plant into something of an industrial island of several acres surrounded by housing. Jordan said the two city-owned properties are proposed to be developed first as they would provide the rest of the project its main access from Griffiths Avenue. The south side of the rest of the lands are to be built next, looping around the water feature, with the dairy plant property to be constructed last. That is, if it ever does become part of the development site. A representative of Ledingham McAllister did not respond to requests for comment before the NewsLeader’s press time. twitter.com/WandaChow

Bikes in The Heights Luke Keough’s week in the Lower Mainland was spectacular, and not just because of the weather. The cyclist from Sandwich, Mass., won his third race in three nights in taking the men’s Giro di Burnaby on Thursday. The night before that he’d won the Gastown Grand Prix, and two nights previous he captured the UBC Grand Prix. It was a clean sweep of the podium for Keough and his UnitedHealthcare team in the 45-lap, 55-kilometre race around Burnaby Heights. Ken Hanson of San Diego, who won the Giro in 2012, finished second. Australian Hilton Clarke, who won the inaugural Giro di Burnaby in 2006, came third. Erica Allar of Fogelsville, Penn., won the 30-lap, 37-km women’s race just ahead of Winnipeg native and now Squamish resident Leah Kirchmann. Third place went to 47-year-old Laura van Gilder of Cresco, Penn., who won the Giro in 2012. Fifteen-year-old Maggie Coles-Lyster of Maple Ridge was 19th in the field of 51 after leading the race with a lap to go.

The Giro di Burnaby attracted lots of riders for the women’s race, above, and the men’s race, right, as well as well-prepared spectators for the men’s race, below.
