A Burnaby cyclist who was shot in the arm as he pedalled along Highway 1 early June 1 is appealing for information that would help find the gunman. Craig Premack, 54, was on the return leg of the Cache Creek 600, a longdistance cycling event put on by the BC Randonneurs, when he was shot. He’d just returned to the road at about PREMACK 1 a.m. after a meal break and three-hour nap in Spences Bridge. Premack was riding alone at the time, his Willier road bike festooned with lights to guide his way and alert passing motorists of his presence on the road. He said his ride was going well until he was surprised by the sound of explosions next to him. “I thought they were firecrackers,” he said. But then his right forearm “blew up” and he felt blood trickling down to his leg. Please see INVESTIGATORS SEEK TWO MEN, A3

Festival put Burnaby on blues, concert map 15th annual event on Aug. 9 at Deer Lake Park Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
As Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow tells it, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival was born at a hot air balloon festival in Gatineau, Que. It was 1999 and at the time it was still a sister city to Burnaby. Volkow and the late former mayor Doug Drummond were part of a delegation visiting Gatineau and its annual week-long hot air balloon festival, the second-largest in North America. On a stage, “a young Jonny Lang comes out and he’s playing away,” he recalled. “So I looked at Doug and I said, ‘You know, we could do something like this.’ “Doug said, ‘When I get back, we’re going to make that happen.’ ” Like many municipalities, Burnaby was looking at ways to mark the millennium. The festival became part of those celebrations in the summer of 2000 and has been going ever since. The 15th annual Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival returns to Deer Lake Park on Saturday, Aug. 9 from 1 to 10 p.m. This year’s headliners include Big Sugar, Matt Andersen and the MelloTones, Bettye LaVette, Imelda May and Wide Mouth
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER
Burnaby councillor Nick Volkow had a vision to make the lawn at the Shadbolt Centre an annual gathering place for blues fans and Denis Nokony, the city’s assistant director of cultural services helped make it happen with the first Burnaby Blues Festival in 2000. The festival is celebrating its 15th year on Aug. 9.
Mason. Denis Nokony, Burnaby’s assistant director of cultural services, was part of the team that put together that first festival in four to five months. That year’s headliner was Robert Cray, and since then it’s showcased many emerging talents that have gone on to
bigger success, such as Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Matt Andersen. The festival has grown from six acts in 2000 to an even dozen this year, and from two stages to three. A few years ago the niche audience was broadened somewhat when roots music was added to the bill. “Burnaby has become the place to go
for blues and roots in British Columbia,” Nokony said. As for the event’s financial footing, he said, “overall we’re happy with meeting our targets.” He noted that all the summer concerts that happen at Deer Lake help to subsidize each other and keep ticket prices reasonable. Volkow credits the blues festival with showcasing Deer Lake Park as a live concert venue. While over the years it hosted the occasional one-off shows such as the Beach Boys, Moody Blues and soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, the blues festival put it on the map. “It opened up the venue to a lot of people that may not have known it existed.” When Volkow attends this year, as always he’ll miss his good friend and fellow blues fan, Doug Drummond. “Doug loved that event. If it wasn’t for Doug being the mayor and thinking it was a good idea, I don’t think it ever would’ve happened.” Tickets for this year’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival are $50 in advance, $180 for a pack of four, and $65 on the day of show.

Realizing he’d been shot, Premack pedalled faster to get away from whoever was attacking him in the darkness. He said he saw a dark-coloured vehicle leave a highway pull-out near where he’d been shot. Premack pulled off the road to survey his injuries. He said he couldn’t believe what had happened. “It was almost like a bad dream,” he said. “My goodness, I’ve been shot. I was worried.

Truelove first met Robinson when he volunteered in his Ottawa office while studying political science at the University of Ottawa. For his book, he interviewed the former Member of Parliament for Burnaby-Douglas a number of times and was even granted access to his personal archives. Truelove also talked to family members, friends, colleagues and political foes. During his 25-year political career Robinson was an outspoken defender of human rights. He was arrested for blocking loggers from clearcutting trees in Clayoquot Sound and assaulted by police while protesting at the 2001 Summit of the Americas.

‘It’s not just the housing they’re losing’ ⫸
from FRONT PAGE
Two doors south of The Met, excavation work has begun on The Park, another condo tower. Sandwiched in between is a squat three-storey wood frame walk-up apartment building with a vacancy sign posted on the front lawn. McGovern said when some of her members are forced out of their homes to make way for new development, they have to leave Burnaby. “It’s not just the housing they’re losing,” said McGovern. “They’re losing their communities.” McGovern said the redevelopment of established affordable neighbourhoods has accelerated in recent years as builders take advantage of programs to increase density in exchange for financing community enhancements like new parks or seniors centres. And as new towers sprout from the midst of the wood frame rental buildings, landlords are neglecting to invest money to maintain their units, hoping to cash in when developers come knocking on their door to acquire property for their next project. “It makes it easy for landlords to just let things go,” said McGovern. “It’s not fair.” She said all levels of government need to work together to come up with solutions that will allow low and moderate income people to stay in their homes, and in their communities. “There has to be other housing built for low income people,” she said.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Maureen Best took this photo of a robin having a snack in her backyard in the West End of New Westminster.
TransLink’s playbook Did TransLink fail to plan for two major disruptions on SkyTrain last month? Or was it a case of learning lessons that can only be learned when things really run awry? Regardless of where one stands, it’s good news that TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis is seeking outside counsel to ensure they’re better prepared in the future. As Jarvis himself has admitted, shutdowns will occur again, and changes are needed to ensure they are managed effectively. Any organization as large as TransLink must have detailed plans for emergencies and major disruptions, and ensure that employees understand how to carry them out. It was unusual to have two major failures so close together, first on July 17 with a computer system control failure, then on July 21 when the power was knocked out. That second event stopped trains for five hours with commuters scrambling for other options and people on trains left to cool their heels. The lack of a working PA system left many passengers in an information vacuum, and anxious riders shoved doors open and risked a walk on the elevated guideways. Jarvis has brought in someone with the right credentials for the review. Gary McNeil, retired former CEO of Toronto’s commuter rail and bus system, was also involved in the planning, design, construction and startup of our the Expo Line from 1982-86. He’ll look at what changes are needed to existing processes and whether TransLink should consider investing in more backup systems. Implementing his recommendations will no doubt mean added costs. But the value of a more reliable system should not be underestimated, in terms of quality of life, public faith and productivity for commuters.

California visit an eye-opener A week-long visit to California was a great experience, primarily because the main purpose of the trip was to attend my son’s wedding in San Francisco. The city is truly one of the most beautiful in the world and it is a wonderful locale for a special event. San Francisco brings in a lot of tourists. The city’s major attractions were packed with people from all over the world, and there was no better place to hear a multiplicity of languages than in one of the lineups to board the cable cars. Many people gladly stood in line to board the famous cars for more than an hour, and the long wait seemed to be part of the fun. San Francisco, with its cool and often-foggy weather, is an anomaly in California. It gets rain regularly, albeit not too much at this time of year, and temperatures are moderate. Travelling to other parts of the state reveal a different set of circumstances.
Frank Bucholtz It is hot and extremely dry. Many areas have received almost no rain for the past three years. The central San Joaquin valley, where a wide variety of agricultural crops for export all over North America are grown, is coping with terrible drought and many farmers have had to cut back on the acreage they have planted, simply because there is so little water available for irrigation. Everywhere you go, there are reminders of the need for water conservation. Low-flow toilets, sinks with automatic shut-offs and many other innovations are widespread. There is some talk of major

fines for breaking water conservation rules, although I am uncertain if much of that has come to pass. I heard one story about a business that will paint people’s lawns green, so they can at least have the illusion of green grass. It’s a bit puzzling why that is so important, yet I realize we live in an area where grass never stays brown for long. We can count on rain. California is the mostpopulated state in the U.S., with a population which is larger than Canada’s. Its gross domestic product makes it the eighth- or ninthlargest economy in the world. It is the state that millions of people are anxious to move to. The number one destination for refugees fleeing into the United States from Central America is California. The overall sense I got during our short visit there is that, without water, that type of growth is simply unsustainable.

There is clearly a major water crisis in most of the state. Many people understand that and have reduced their use of water. State and local governments also get it, and are bringing in regulations and doing things differently, attempting to address the issue. But even if the rains come back on a more regular basis, much of the state will remain dry. It has a hot climate, and much of the area where crops are grown, and where people live by the millions, is desert. It is a good reminder why water conservation is important — just as important as using fossil fuels as sparingly as possible. It also foreshadows the distinct possibility of extensive pressure on B.C. and other areas of the west coast for widespread water exports in the future. Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

Incinerator power deal gets green light Regulators dash hopes of waste-toenergy critics Jeff Nagel Black Press
the $51 it would pay for nonclean natural gas-fired power. Metro’s existing incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year, while a new one at a yet-to-be-determined location would take an additional 370,000 tonnes. Critics of Metro’s strategy had argued BC Hydro will be blocked from paying a premium price for the new incinerator’s electricity, making the project a financial flop, or at least uncompetitive compared to continued landfilling. Estimates of the capital cost of a new incinerator run as high as $517 million. Metro Vancouver senior engineer Chris Allan said the BCUC decision wasn’t surprising because it was a renewal of a contract to buy power from an existing source, not for a new one. Russ Black, vice-president of Cache Creek landfill operator Belkorp Environmental, still predicts Metro won’t get a premium price based on green power for the new incinerator because the regional district
admitted during the proceedings that 40 per cent of the energy from garbage comes from nonrenewable sources like plastics, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. “We’ve laid the foundation for the fight in the future,� he said. But even an unfavourable power price from Hydro may still not be the silver bullet critics hope would unravel Metro’s plans. “Not every technology is reliant on selling electricity,� said Metro board chair Greg Moore, noting the new plant might sell little to no power into the grid and instead pipe steam to a district heating system or an industrial user. He noted one of the waste-toenergy project bidders is a Delta cement plant that has no plans to sell to Hydro at all. “You’ve got Lehigh Cement that makes cement and they want to replace coal and rubber tires with municipal solid waste as fuel.�
Opponents of Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy strategy have been dealt a blow by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Regulators there have approved an electricity purchase agreement that will see BC Hydro pay $43 per megawatthour for power from Metro’s existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby. Critics had argued Metro’s garbage-fueled electricity can’t count as clean and renewable under provincial law and therefore should be worth much less – closer to the $24 spot price for power exported to the U.S. The aim of incineration opponents was to blow a hole not just in the revenue from the existing plant but also in the business case for a future jeffnagel@blackpress.ca new waste-to-energy plant, which Metro Vancouver has assumed will earn around $100 per OPEN megawatt-hour.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key… This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I
have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Raceway. I’d say this will be a heavenly day. With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard
on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.
different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits It’s the most were posted at 35 mph, powerful production I was impressed with Chrysler V8, as well its road manners. And considering I had almost as most powerful 485 horsepower (with production muscle the 6.4L engine), it was car to date, so it as docile as a lethargic needs to be treated lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity with respect. presented itself.

Investing in the real estate market a focus for buyers By Kerry Vital
In Vancouver’s thriving real estate market, buyers are finding innovative ways to purchase their dream home. One of them is investing in a property in a growing area, allowing the original buyer to either rent out the home or sell it at a premium as the neighbourhood becomes more popular. “With a growing population and increasingly high demand for real estate, the reality of what’s affordable and the dream
location don’t always match,” says Shaadi Faris, vice-president of Intergulf Development Group. “Purchasing an affordable investment property in an emerging area is a means for more first-time buyers to get a leg-up in the market and work towards buying their ideal home in a more desirable location sooner.” He cites the growing boom in real estate opportunities in Burnaby’s Metrotown as an example of buyers choosing to purchase in a vibrant area close to transit and education that

will get them a return on their investment when they choose to sell or rent out the property. “Buyers are becoming very savvy,” he says. “They want to know the price per square foot, what the strata fees are. They want to know what the opportunities are to build their investment.” However, Faris points out that the amenities and features of a home can’t be ignored. “People have to actually want to live there,” he says. Faris has seen a difference in the kind of buyer as well. “It’s a more mature condo market now,” he says. “People are more sophisticated in understanding the lingo and the product, and it’s imperative that there’s no wasted space, because every cent counts. Buyers are looking with that level of detail now; it’s not always an emotional purchase. There’s too much on the line.” Intergulf has seen an increase in just such an interested buyer at their project The Park Metrotown, which is located right in the heart of the area and will have the access to transit and education at BCIT and SFU that buyers are looking for. “People know that it’s a smart place to invest,” Faris says.

Ikonik Homes’ Jacobsen is located just moments from The Shops at Morgan Crossing, and features contemporary West Coast architecture, large windows and spacious three- and four-bedroom floorplans.
Urban elegance at Jacobsen By Kerry Vital
Ikonik Homes has a reputation for exceptional quality and innovative design. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to the South Surrey neighbourhood with Jacobsen. A recent Greater Vancouver Home Builders’
Association Ovation Award winner, Jacobsen is a special development. “The design of this community is different and unique to the South Surrey market,” says project marketing manager Brandon Trent. “These are West Coast contemporary-style homes.” The 65 townhomes, ranging in size between 1,734 and 2,219 square feet in a variety of three- and four-bedroom floorplans, have serious curb appeal with their elegant cedar plank siding, stonework, black metal railings, floor-to-ceiling windows and generous patios and private yards. Each home has a side-by-
side double-car garage, adding even more convenience for homeowners. Some homes have extra space for two more cars to park in the driveway. “These homes feel like a single-family home,” says Trent. Inside, natural light pours in through those large windows and fills the space to the airy 10’ ceilings. Select homes have stunning views of the Coast Mountains. Wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas is complemented by lush Beaulieu designer nylon carpeting in the bedrooms. The kitchens are fit for any aspiring chef,
