The City of Burnaby’s reserves are not just sitting around, says Mayor Derek Corrigan. One use of the money is to self-finance capital projects, such as the $42-million Edmonds Community Centre, paying itself interest to ensure the reserves continue to grow in step with inflation.

Burnaby finances in good health Fraser Institute study finds it tops list of Metro Vancouver cities Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

It appears the right-leaning Fraser Institute is all for the approach to civic finances taken by left-leaning Burnaby city hall. In a report released Tuesday, the think tank compared the debt and other liabilities at the City of Vancouver to other Metro Vancouver municipalities.

As of 2012, the latest year for net liabilities, followed by West comparable data, Vancouver was in Vancouver with $1 million in the red by $268 million. liabilities.

when other Metro Vancouver municipalities have collectively been in a net asset position. Its net liabilities more than quadrupled between 2006 and 2011, partly due to having to bankroll the troubled Olympic Village project as part of the 2010 Olympics. “An important consequence of increasing liabilities is that the cost of servicing municipal government debt also increases, which means less money is available for municipal services,” the report said.

The National Energy Board (NEB) has extended the review process by seven months for the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project to allow for more scrutiny of a new route through Burnaby. Last month Kinder Morgan told the NEB its preferred route to the Westridge Marine Terminal in North Burnaby would now run through Burnaby Mountain. It also stated it needed to do more studies which should be completed by Dec. 1. While the National Energy Board Act requires the review be completed within 15 months, if the NEB requires the applicant to provide more information, the period of time it takes to comply is not included in that time frame, the NEB explained in a press release. The period excluded from the time limit calculation will run July 11 to Feb. 3, 2015. Please see loNg-overdue viCtory, a4

New program sheds light on old-time cars Burnaby had 16 repair garages in 1925 wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

If there’s a magnet for visitors at Burnaby Village Museum, it appears to be the mere sound of an antique car engine starting. That was the case Tuesday as museum staff and interpreters prepared to present its new Auto Shop Apprentice program at the Royal Oak Garage building. For years the museum has offered rides around the village in old Model T Fords, a popular feature that helps bring history to life. This year, volunteers brainstormed and came up with the auto shop program to teach visitors how cars used to work in the old days, said museum programs coordinator

Sanya Pleshakov. The half-hour presentation includes a brief history of transportation in Burnaby. The garage building was recreated based on an actual Royal Oak Garage located on Kingsway and Marlborough back in the 1920s, Pleshakov said. There were 16 such repair garages in Burnaby in 1925, putting it at the forefront of the trend toward motor vehicles, said interpreter Russell Collins. Collins explained to visitors how car wheels started out as metal loops connected by spokes and transitioned to solid rubber tires before moving to pneumatic tires more forgiving of bumps in the road. Here, six-year-old Kenji Lam was recruited as the “apprentice” to demonstrate pumping up an old inner tube. He then helped

demonstrate how an old-style gasoline pump operated. But it’s the Model T delivery truck that’s the big draw.

“Model Ts are a totally different thing to drive,” said interpreter Ewen Sheard, who’s also a licenced mechanic. “People are absolutely amazed at

their complexity and the difference.” There’s perhaps no starker contrast between then and now than in the Model T’s safety features—

or lack of them. Collins pointed out the museum’s specimen has no seatbelts, bumpers or turning signals. Heck, it doesn’t even have doors. It does, however, have windshield wipers and a horn. Then comes time to start the engine. Perched on the passenger side of the car’s bench, Lam plugs his ears as he learns how loud—and smelly—these old cars are. The presentation over, another Model T packed with passengers turns heads as it drives by and the crowd disperses, heading over to the museum’s version of an amusement ride queue. • Auto Shop Apprentice runs Tuesdays at Burnaby Village Museum during the summer season at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Admission to the museum is free. twitter.com/wandaChow

‘It’s not a city role to provide social housing’ ⫸

continued from frOnt page

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said his city’s approach is simply to “pay off debts and put money in the bank to deal with things in the future.” While Burnaby’s net assets would suggest a big pot of money just sitting there to be used, much of it is set aside for future uses, such as replacing aging equipment and buildings. Burnaby also uses it to selffinance its capital projects, such as the $42-million Edmonds

Community Centre, paying itself interest to ensure the reserves continue to grow in step with inflation. The city’s financial position “increases the value of land [for its citizens] and it gives them a piece of the rock,” Corrigan said. “You know in Burnaby it’s a solid government where you’re financed for the future.” But Corrigan declined to pass judgment on Vancouver’s situation, noting that city has to fund additional infrastructure due

to its role as “the centre of it all.” He is also not a fan of the Fraser Institute’s work. “Often they think by doing a very simplistic economic analysis that they are actually informing the public about anything. It’s not nearly as simple as they wish it was,” he said. “They make reports … to suggest everybody is overtaxed and business is overburdened. That kind of an argument permeates everything the Fraser Institute does.”

Coun. Paul McDonell, a member of Burnaby’s finance committee, did suggest Vancouver takes on more than it perhaps should. “We get criticized for some of our housing policies but we’re not going to burden the taxpayers with that,” McDonell said. “It’s not a city role to provide social housing.” He noted that Burnaby’s massive reserves generates interest income to help keep down property taxes. As for critics that

suggest the reserves should be used to lower taxes further, he said, “You don’t have that forever if you start spending it like that.” Burnaby’s fiscally cautious approach likely stems from it having gone into receivership during the Great Depression, McDonell said. “When it came out the people ahead of us said we don’t want this to happen again. That philosophy, regardless of the stripe of the government, has carried on and it’s grown.”

The overall deadline for the NEB to complete the review and submit a recommendation to the federal government was originally July 2, 2015. It has now been extended to Jan. 25, 2016. The federal government would then have six months to make a final decision. Once Kinder Morgan provides the results of its studies on the Burnaby Mountain section, the NEB and intervenors will have until Jan. 13, 2015 to submit questions related to them. The company is required to respond to them by Feb. 3, 2015. There will also be an opportunity for people to apply as new intervenors, said NEB spokesperson Sarah Kiley in an interview from Calgary. “It’s only going to be people who have some kind of tie to this particular section of the route, it’s about four kilometres.” The NEB would also consider applicants with information or expertise on tunnelling, horizontal directional drilling or “anything else that’s related specifically to that piece of the route.” That process will open in September, but a deadline for applications has yet to be set, she said.

Brief

Quidditch Global Games comes to town With the end of the FIFA World Cup, the spirit of international sports competition will carry on in Burnaby, the site of the 2014 Quidditch Global Games on Saturday, July 19. The world’s best quidditch teams will compete in the real-life, full-contact version of the sport depicted in the Harry Potter book and movie series. More than 120 players from seven countries and three continents will participate, representing Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The tournament will take place at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West, 3677 Kensington Ave., between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Opening ceremonies will run from 8:15 to 8:45 a.m. Admission and parking is free for

spectators. Seating is limited and available on first-come, firstserve basis. While unlike in the Harry Potter stories players will not fly around on brooms, all the other rules are essentially the same. There are seven players on each team who must run with a broom held between their legs at all times. Chasers try to score with the quaffle (volleyball) through the opponent’s hoops, players hurl bludgers (dodgeballs) to temporarily knock opponents out of the game, a keeper defends the hoops and a seeker chases the snitch. In the books and movies the snitch is a magical, golden flying ball. Here a velcro tail is attached to the shorts of a very fast runner dressed in yellow. The game ends when the snitch is caught and the winning team earns an extra 30

points, equivalent to three goals. Info: http://www. usquidditch.org/events/ special/global-games

Grand opening for playground at Confederation Burnaby city hall will hold the grand opening of the new playground and water play area at Confederation Park (Beta Avenue and Albert Street) on Saturday, July 19 at 10:30 a.m. The new North Burnaby playground includes a 700-squaremetre rubberized surface, a multi-person see-saw, spinner bowls, child-size picnic tables, swing sets, and a climbing rock.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: This shot of a dragonfly was captured by Dale Leung last week at the butterfly garden next to the Burnaby Lake nature house.

Acute funding issue The lengthy and at times delayed review of Fraser Health Authority has come up with some worthwhile objectives. However, given that the minister of health believes Fraser Health’s budget is adequate, don’t expect a lot of improvements in health care any time soon. The review’s main conclusion is that acute care hospitals are utilized more than they need to be by residents. Thus costs keep rising, given that acute care is far and away the most expensive type of care offered. Why do people go to acute care so often? In some cases, it’s because they don’t have a family doctor. Population growth and a limited number of general practitioners mean that at least one-third of the population do not have anyone in the health system who sees them regularly, knows them by name and has a good handle on their medical issues. Some have chronic conditions for which there is no option aside from acute care. The review noted the value of setting up clinics that specialize in treating people with certain conditions, or are part of certain groups. Unfortunately only nine per cent off the FHA budget goes toward community care, with 57 per cent going to acute care. NDP critic Judy Darcy points out that FHA gets 28 per cent of the overall spending on health in B.C., yet is home to 36 per cent of the population. While that can be partially explained by the fact that specialist hospitals such as B.C. Children’s are in Vancouver, and by the fact that the FHA population is (on average) somewhat younger than other B.C. regions, it also illustrates the fact that this area has been chronically underfunded in health services for a long, long time. And it’s doubtful anything will change anytime soon. – Langley Times

Notes from an Okanagan holiday Evening, Day 1: Arrive at campground to discover that no one tents anymore. Except us, that is. Squeeze tent onto pad between two houses on wheels. Morning, Day 2: These houses on wheels are powered by generators. So peaceful. Late morning, Day 3: Park ranger leads us on a short hike from the campground. Most of us are families with younger children. Another couple on the walk has a boy about five, the same age as our youngest. So far they’ve been content to let him roam freely. I’m an anxious type, always in awe of laissez-faire parenting, so I watch in envy as they let the boy totter along a hillside, following the ranger in search of cactus. The slope soon steepens and the path narrows as it cuts across a steep grade, and I note a subtle rift for the Cool Couple. Mom has happily wandered ahead. Dad follows the son who teeters along the strip of dirt. “Single file, buddy!” he chirps, a note of panic betraying his mellow pose. “Stick to the path, big guy! Single file! Watch where you’re going! Single file!”

Chris Bryan A small victory. Yes, my fiveyear-old’s palm is clutched firmly in my hand. But at least it’s not sweating. Later morning, Day 3: Reach a lookout. It’s your standard viewpoint—trail ends at a wide open area, and at one end the land just falls away. There are no fences or warning signs. My still occasionally random fiveyear-old’s hand is still clutched in mine. Meantime, toddle toddle toddle toddle… there goes someone’s two-year-old toward the edge. Ten feet. Five feet… closing… There’s a parent about to intervene here, right? “Far enough!” I blurt. The boy stops and eyes me. Now the mother and grandmother, previously oblivious, are on the case. Later, I ponder this. Can this type of parent smell people like

me, and know they can just zone out for a bit? Morning, Day 5: Begin tearing down tent at our sun-bathed campsite, already past 30 degrees. Inside the tent, rolling up air mattresses, sleeping bags, packing children’s things it’s got to be 40 degrees. Attempts to usefully engage children in helping out have been abandoned as unpacking their mis-packing in order to pack feels a bit silly. Oldest son is cool in the car, reading his comic book. “Let’s get a move on,” he mutters to me, and for the briefest of moments I feel apologetic. The heat has turned me perverse. Late Morning, Day 5: Discover ant colony under tent. Thousands of them, dashing in all directions, carrying little white… rice krispies? Ahh... eggs. Morning, Day 6: At a hotel now. A shower has revived the parents. Now in breakfast room, eating cardboard pastries and shiny fruit. A father nearby is having a fit over his son’s eating habits. “You always do this! Why do you always do this? I’ve told you over and over to stop doing this!”

The boy is about six. The father is beaking in his ear. The boy is a sea of calm, not responding. Perhaps he turned off the volume months ago. Now he’s just waiting for his dad to run out of gas. The boy looks over at me now, smiles in a way that says “what can you do?” and rolls his eyes. Afternoon, Day 7: Note to self: purchase car with air conditioning. Spend six hours on highway with temperature around 35 degrees. Get gas at Hope mega station jammed with miserable, hot, dirty fellow travellers. Dante’s modern Inferno would put the inner circle of hell here. Later Afternoon, Day 7: Or here, somewhere on Highway 1 near Langley where the traffic stops for no apparent reason. Evening, Day 7: Arrive home to find the cool West Coast no longer so. Turn on backyard sprinkler, and begin dismantling the car. Oldest son irritated that I’m not joining him in sprinkler, opting instead to unstuff our Toyota. Parents are so selfish. editor@burnabynewsleader.com

Even though she was only in Grade 9 she played on Burnaby Mountain secondaryâ€™s varsity basketball team. She also helped the school win the Burnaby/New West cross country banner. â€œShe always wanted to beat me at whatever it was, it didnâ€™t matter,â€? says Paul. â€œOne time I thought when she was about 10 I could still outrun her. We set up in [a start position] to go on the count of three. She was off the line she was already gone, and I knew that was it.â€? Itâ€™s a memory that brings a smile to Laurenâ€™s face. So would a second gold medal.

Lauren Gomez is going for gold again at the B.C. Summer Games. Gomez won her first as the winning pitcher for Fraser Valley (Zone 3) in the 2012 BC Summer Games fastpitch softball final in Surrey. She gets a second crack at grabbing gold this weekend in the 2014 Games in Nanaimo this weekend. This year, softballâ€™s eligibility has changed from under-14 to U-16. But this time sheâ€™s playing for Fraser River-Delta (Zone 4) because she now lives in Burnaby.

The engine is its strongpoint but it’s not just a one-trick pony. I like the interior a lot. The steering wheel is soft to the touch and I like that you can control various functions like the audio, Bluetooth, or cruise control from it. The centre stack has charm, too.

Whether you just drive it around the city or beyond, the Fiesta one-litre is a sturdy road companion with impressive fuel economy. Visit www.ford.ca for more information.

Show some respect for this fleet car favourite The much-maligned fleet car Chevrolet Impala is the “I don’t get no respect!” sedan of the auto world, if I may quote the late Rodney Dangerfield. The Impala I rented in Hawaii early this year was confirmation of the beating, while on the job, that a car like this has to endure. Yet, you have to respect the sturdiness and competence that a car like this must possess. Body scars left by a multitude of indifferent drivers were visible evidence of the abuse. Although basic on the inside, the Impala turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and the biggest surprise of all was its performance. Impala offers good power, a

quiet passenger cabin and a comfortable ride, which helped make the overall driving experience a pleasant one. Chevrolet first introduced an Impala way back in 1958 and at one time, it was the best-selling car in America. The last time I had driven

an Impala was in 2009. Chevrolet had given it a new flex-fuel E85 engine upgrade, so that it can accept up to 85 per cent ethanol content in its fuel. While an Impala is unlikely to be on your “dream drive” list, if you’re simply looking for an inexpensive, reliable and roomy, nearnew sedan, then add it to your used car drive list. In 2010, even the base LS trim came with air conditioning, power mirrors, walnut burl (imitation) interior accent trim, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, power windows and power locks with keyless entry and automatic headlamps. Our Hawaii rental was an LT trim which added 16-inch alloy wheels, a leatherwrapped wheel with audio

controls, CD/MP3 stereo and a remote starter. The top-line LTZ adds 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, heated mirrors, deck lid spoiler, auto-dimming rearview mirror, eight-way power driver’s seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, Bluetooth hands-free con-

nectivity, sport suspension, electronic stability control, and a theft deterrent system. The 3.5-litre V6 (standard on LS and LT) engine can generate 214 horsepower. Its companion four-speed automatic is smooth, competent and reliable, yet it lags behind five

and six-speed units offered by competitors. Fuel consumption is still decent at 11.3/7.0 L/100 km (city/highway). The 3.9-litre (LTZ) engine can generate 240 horsepower. Although it is classified as a mid-size sedan, an Impala actually offers close to full-

size room inside. Chevrolet added standard body-colour side mouldings to the 2011 model year Impala, and the OnStar system got a new Turn-by-Turn voice navigation feature. Major powertrain upgrades followed in 2012, with a new 3.6-litre V6 replaced both the 3.5-litre and 3.9-litre engines in all trim levels. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced the previous four-speed automatic. No changes were made in 2013, which was the last year of this generation Impala.

The Macan continued from page A16

Inside What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather and a simple design that makes interacting with his SUV a joy. There are several drawbacks though. The cargo area is long but the rake of the rear window limits taking larger objects inside the car. The back seat I find too small for a family of four people. Since I own a Cayenne, I have a great perspective on the amount of room this Macan offers. Legroom is obviously tighter, headroom is just okay, it is the lack of space side-to-side that I find limiting. The Cayenne is a perfect family choice, the Macan I believe is suited for a single person or active professional couple. Not to say it couldn’t be use for family duty, it just wouldn’t be my choice.

Drive The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack. Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse, proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. There might be some confusion surrounding the naming of this car. Both the Macan S and Macan Turbo both come fitted with a V6 turbo. The base model is a 3.0L V6 with 340hp. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. The base model would be my choice. Driving in back country roads the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrading the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense was only really noticeable when the Macan was pushed very hard around the racetrack. For regular commuting the S is just fine.

Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue; the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry. All of the cars I drove in California were over $100,000 with features like PASM, additional air suspension and sport-chrono settings for the 7-speed duel clutch automatic. When I configure a base S with the features I would want like navigation, PASM, front and rear parking sensors, bigger wheels, Bose stereo and a few other odds and ends, comes to almost $75,000, never mind the $82,200 starting price of the turbo. Having recently driven the spectacular Audi SQ5, from which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top.

Metrotown modern living at Burnaby’s Station Square By Kerry Vital

Anthem Properties and Beedie Living have teamed up to bring Station Square to Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood. With a fantastic location, beautiful homes and plenty of amenities, it’s no surprise that people from all over the Lower Mainland are flocking to it. “Burnaby is a sought-after city to live in,” says Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing for Anthem Properties.

“This is an incredible little neighbourhood we’re creating, and a lot of people want to live here.” The second tower at Station Square recently started sales, and it has already proven incredibly popular. The homes include quartz countertops with marble accents, stainless-steel appliances and flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the kitchens, as well as a soaker tub in the bathroom and wood laminate flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. Each home has its own generous balcony, perfect for entertaining or

relaxing and enjoying the view. Homeowners at Station Square will have access to plenty of amenities, including nearly an acre of indoor and outdoor amenity space, Zayadi says. The first and second tower will share some of their amenities, including an infrared sauna, fitness facility, entertainment lounge with a gourmet kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating and outdoor dining areas and a reflecting pool. Station Square will eventually include five towers and tons of retail and commercial space. Among the confirmed tenants are Rexall, Save On Foods, TD Canada Trust and Caffe Artigiano. There will also be direct access to SkyTrain and transit. If you choose to venture off your property, Metrotown offers plenty of options for shopping, dining, leisure and recreation, including several parks and other green spaces. You’ll also be close to Simon Fraser University and other education options.

Morningstar Homes is giving buyers the opportunity to live at the top of the world at The Summit at Grant Hill, their first project in Maple Ridge. With spacious fourbedroom homes, amazing views and 1/2 acre homesites, there is a lot to love.

Morningstar shines at The Summit at Grant Hill By Kerry Vital

You’ll be living at the top of the world at Morningstar Homes’ newest project, The Summit at Grant Hill in Maple Ridge. “We haven’t built in Maple Ridge before,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “Where else can you get a 3,900-square-foot luxury home on a ½ acre homesite for an amazing price? You just can’t.” Morningstar has long been known for its high-quality finishings and gorgeous homes, and this is certainly continuing at The Summit at Grant Hill.

“This is a really beautiful area,” Calahan says. “We’re offering big value and luxury combined – the best of both worlds – and at an exciting price!” The four-bedroom homes range from 3,840 to 3,900 square feet, with three-car garages, unfinished basements and vaulted ceilings on the second floor. “These are some of our best designs ever,” says Calahan. “We always do something new that’s specific to the neighbourhood, and add new twists.” Those twists include walls of windows that let the natural light pour into your space, and allow for some seriously gorgeous views.

“These homes are really luxurious,” says Calahan. “We’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings with grand foyers to welcome you, extra-large kitchens that are truly the heart of the home and elegant linear fireplaces that make a statement.” Window seats for admiring the view are included in most bedrooms, and the spalike ensuite is truly huge, with a stand-alone tub and semi-frameless five-foot shower with a seat. The master bedrooms are always spectacular in Morningstar homes, and this one at The Summit at Grant Hill is no exception. The large windows are continued here, and Morningstar is offering buyers the ability to include a master bedroom sitting room as part of their floorplan.
