Burnaby RCMP have arrested a man in connection with a shooting in the parking lot of Brentwood mall last month. Trevor Michael Scott Taylor, 29, was arrested July 15, said Burnaby RCMP Insp. Bob Page. Taylor remains in custody. He faces charges of aggravated assault, discharge of a firearm, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition, and possession of a firearm while prohibited. “We are unable to provide any further details at this time,” Page said. The shooting happened June 21 at about 8:30 p.m. when Burnaby RCMP began receiving several calls about shots being fired at the mall. When officers arrived they found a 51-year-old man with gunshot wounds. He had been shot while sitting in his vehicle outside the McDonald’s restaurant. The injuries were serious but non-life threatening. At the time, police said witnesses reported seeing two people running from the scene. twitter.com/WandaChow

Mountain Shadow Pub gets rezoning approval To be redeveloped with condos Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

The days are numbered for a popular hangout for Simon Fraser University students after Burnaby council gave the go-ahead for a redevelopment proposal. Council gave approval in principle to a rezoning application for the property at 7174 Barnet Rd.,

at Pandora Street, currently home of the Mountain Shadow Pub. The proposal is for a three-storey, mixed-use project with a small commercial space on the ground floor, 21 stacked townhouse units and underground parking, with vehicle access from Barnet Road. Four speakers appeared at the June 24 public hearing and city hall received five letters about the proposal, said a city staff report.

They raised issues including traffic, the closure of the pub, privacy, existing trees on the site, and vehicle and fire access. “Although the pub provides for a community gathering space, the property owner has indicated that the pub is no longer financially viable on the site,” the report said. “In addition, it is noted that the pub has a longstanding history of noise complaints.” Bricks and beams

from the current building, designed to look like a mountain chalet, are proposed to be reused “as a touchstone of the site’s past.”

At the request of the Nova Vita housing co-op next door, the plans for a six-foot-high cedar fence between the two properties will be

changed to one that’s eight-feet tall, similar to the existing brick wall, the report said. City staff reviewed vehicle access and determined there could be no changes to vehicle access due to the site’s awkward shape and grades and the proximity of the intersection of Barnet and Pandora. The fire department also visited and had no concerns with fire access. The 16 trees on site can’t be retained due to the excavation needed

The property was vacant until 1979 when Burnaby city council approved a rezoning to allow the neighbourhood pub to be built As for the pub itself, owner Mike Anastasi told the NewsLeader last month that he recently signed a twoyear extension to his lease “so it will not be developed for a while.”

Couple killed in crash A Burnaby couple has been identified as the victims in a fatal crash near Revelstoke July 20. Lai Hing Wong, 74, and her husband, Tang Sing Ling, 75, were killed when the minivan they were in crashed on the Trans-Canada Highway around 2:30 p.m., about seven kilometres west of Revelstoke, says the BC Coroners Service. Ling was driving and Wong was a rear-seat passenger. The single-vehicle accident saw the minivan, which was eastbound, go off the highway to the left and hit a large dirt embankment. Wong died at the scene while her husband was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital, where he died of his injuries the next day. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate the deaths. newsroom@

Mountie docked six days’ pay for potty mouth incident Officer was off-duty at time Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A Burnaby RCMP officer has been reprimanded and docked six days’ pay for swearing and using vulgar language at a woman while off duty. Const. Harinder Paul Pabla approached a woman in the parking lot at Willowbrook Mall in Langley on Dec. 31, 2011 to complain that she had taken the parking spot he had been waiting for. She responded rudely and swore at him, her language peppered with F-bombs, saying she didn’t see him signaling for the spot, according to an RCMP disciplinary decision. When Pabla suggested she get a lighter pair of sunglasses, she responded with vulgar language and gave him the finger. Pabla responded in kind,

calling her a “dirty slut” and making other lewd comments. The woman answered that by kicking him twice in the left knee and leg and hit him in the chest with her purse. She told him to stop following her although they were walking towards the same entrance. Pabla produced his badge, identifying himself as a police officer and told her he’d arrest her if she assaulted him again. Not long after, she swung her purse at him again, hitting him in the groin and head area. He swung his arm out to defend himself, contacting her shoulder, then carried on into the mall and to his destination, the dentist office. A passerby called 911 and the woman complained of being assaulted by Pabla, who was then charged with assault. Pabla was acquitted of assault in August 2013, the

RCMP decision said. Judge Jardine ruled the woman had actually assaulted Pabla and not the other way around. Jardine also commented that Pabla “had to a significant degree been the author of his own misfortune by having instigated and perpetuated the antagonism.” As a trained police officer “he ought to have known better than to have spoken to Ms. O at all.” Jardine said despite the vulgar language the woman used, Pabla’s “demeanour, tone, use of sarcasm and gutterspeak was unacceptable,” and was not the standard expected of a 16-year member of the RCMP. Among mitigating factors for Pabla in the RCMP’s decision was the fact he admitted the incident. “Particularly impressive” was that he completed his master’s degree while under suspension for the incident, it said.

Arrests made after stabbing A drunken dispute on SkyTrain after Saturday’s Celebration of Light fireworks in Vancouver resulted in a woman exiting an eastbound train at Edmonds station screaming that her boyfriend had been stabbed. The victim, a 40-yearold resident of Surrey, was transported to hospital by ambulance to be treated for a stab wound in his arm that required five stitches. Anne Drennan, of Transit Police, said the argument developed after three men boarded the train at Broadway station. The suspects fled the train at Edmonds and two of them were arrested immediately. They were questioned and later released. Transit Police recovered a knife that was used in the stabbing. They’re also still looking for the third suspect. He’s described as a white male, 20-25 years old, 5’8” to 5’9” tall, 150 lbs., wavy brown hair cut short on one side and wearing a black t-shirt and black cargo shorts. Transit Police are asking anyone with any

information about the incident to call them at 604-515-8300 or

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Driving by example

LAST WEEK:

A recent ICBC survey found many parents are passing along poor driving habits to their teenagers. And only about a third of them seem to be aware of the impact their bad behaviour is having. Whether it’s speeding, failing to come to a complete stop or not properly concentrating on the task at hand, for some, the rules of the road tend to grow a little hazy over the years. And the more comfortable we get behind the wheel, the more corners we tend to cut. Most of the time it works out. But for young drivers, who in all likelihood still occasionally flip on the wipers when they mean to signal a turn, there is an overwhelming amount of information coming at them fast. Add to that, heavy traffic, aggressive and impatient drivers and a seemingly endless succession of construction projects to create stress and confusion, and new drivers have enough to deal with. “Driving is particularly risky for new drivers because they lack experience. Not only are they more prone to crash but on average, 18 per cent of crashes involving young drivers result in an injury or fatality,” the insurance corporation points out. Allowing teens to start out with bad habits passed down — however inadvertently — is like setting them up to fail. ICBC offers tips for parents as they prepare their teens for one of the (simultaneously) greatest freedoms and responsibilities they’ll ever know. Most important, they say, parents should remove themselves from an emotionally charged situation and allow an expert to provide instruction. Whatever the cost, it’s worth it to know you’re giving them their best shot at success. And, of course, it never hurts to set a good example. —Langley Times/Black Press

In defence of younger drivers VICTORIA – A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against. First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first

attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-percent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate is consistently 21-22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

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

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation

Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

B.C.’s road to adventure Sue Kernaghan

Market Monday, August 4, 11am–4:30pm

Contributor

Skirting a glacial fjord before climbing into the Coast Mountains, the Sea-to-Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler is one of the world’s great road trips. You can drive the route in less than two hours, but why rush it? Along the way are ocean views, jagged peaks, thick forests, evocative historic sites and some of the best outdoor adventure on the planet. And that’s just for starters. The new Sea to Sky Gondola, opened in May just south of Squamish, can whisk you high into the alpine to see this landscape from a whole new angle. The gondola (actually 20 eight-passenger cable cars) soars 885 metres (almost 3,000 feet) from sea level up onto the slopes of Mount Habrich, offering sweeping views of Howe Sound, Stawamus Chief, Shannon Falls and the surrounding peaks. You can also explore 30 kilometres (19 miles) of hiking trails, ranging from strollerfriendly walks to backcountry

Paul BriDe/Hello BC

The new Sea to Sky Gondola soars 885 metres (almost 3,000 feet) above sea level.

treks, learn about the local Stawamus First Nation’s heritage along the interpretive Spirit Trail or just soak up the views over lunch at the Summit Lodge. While you’re up there, watch for climbers on neighbouring rock faces. Rock climbers speak in hushed tones about the Stawamus Chief. One of North America’s largest granite monoliths, the Chief looms 700 metres (2,300 feet) above the town and attracts climbers from around the globe.

Sea-to-Sky Country is also a fabulous place to get wet. At Squamish Spit, where the Squamish River flows into Howe Sound, the wind patterns are legendary among elite windsurfers and kiteboarders. Squamish Kiteboarding School can get you started. Whenever you go, you’re assured of stunning views, historic sites, great cultural events and pretty much every kind of outdoor adventure going. The secret to it all? Take your time.
