It all started three years ago when the European chafer decimated their front lawn in North Burnaby. “Rather than pay money to put the lawn back in, we got free mulch and manure and built boxes to grow food in our front yard,” said Ninna Snider, 44. That was just the start

The gloves are off as the City of Burnaby issued a stop work order Tuesday morning against Kinder Morgan during its surveying work in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. A city official ordered crews to stop work after the pipeline company arrived with chainsaws and other tree-cutting equipment and began marking trees for removal, said a Burnaby city hall press release. “I think it’s unfortunate that it has come to this,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in the release, “but we can’t let Kinder Morgan cut down trees and do irreparable damage in a conservation area protected by our City’s bylaws.” The National Energy Board (NEB) recently confirmed that the NEB Act allows the company to carry out studies to help it determine a route for its proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline.

and school being nearby traffic generators, staff have decided a signal “would be beneficial during peak periods,” it said. “The latest field observations found that there were many instances of poor driver behaviour including not following the 4-way stop procedure

or running the stop signs. The presence of pedestrians would increase the potential for confusion and conflicts during peak periods.” It’s not yet a done deal as the proposed signal must still get final approval from city council. If it gets the go-ahead, the signal is

estimated to cost $230,000 and would be installed in 2015 at the earliest. City staff have contacted Burnaby RCMP to monitor and enforce traffic violations as needed in the meantime. Favaro, who spoke to the traffic safety committee along with Bhangu, said in

an interview that the area has changed in the last decade with the addition of the Discovery Park business area and more residents thanks to secondary suites. His petition garnered 162 signatures with the majority coming online, where a number of comments mentioned other close calls at the intersection. “I’m encouraged and I’m optimistic,” Favaro said. “It’s the first meeting the [traffic] safety committee had since the accident so that’s very responsive.” As for Bhangu, he said he’s still making a gradual recovery from a concussion and hopes to be able to walk without a cane soon. But he’s hopeful the signal will mean no one else will have to experience what he has. Even before the accident he was nervous crossing at Smith and Kincaid. “So many people, they go blindly,” he said of motorists. “They don’t understand what the meaning of ‘stop’ is. So many just touch their brakes briefly and just go.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Heights garden tour returns on Sunday ⫸

“I am thrilled with the way that this tour has been an inspiration for others,” said Diana Hall, president of the Heights Garden Society, in a press release. “A little effort made in connecting with the community has great rewards for everyone.” Beehive recipients have noticed a major difference in their gardens too. The honeybees have attracted bumblebees and other

pollinating insects and “their gardens are just flourishing this year,” said Snider. She explained that permaculture is a method of interplanting, putting many different types of plants together to ward off pests, and not giving them a single easy target. Snider is a social worker and Wong sells software. Both are self-taught gardeners. “Winston never even touched

When they couldn’t get rid of aphids on their apple trees, older Italian ladies in the neighbourhood told them to boil their rhubarb leaves and spray the liquid onto the trees. “And it worked,” Snider said. “I never would have found that in a book.” • The self-guided tour is by donation.

Live well, & pass it on Organ donation isn’t for everyone. Depending on religious beliefs or personal preference, some people choose not to donate their organs after death. But for those of us who don’t have any stipulations about organ donation, the question remains – why don’t more of us register to become donors? According to B.C. Transplant, there is a critical shortage of organs available for transplant not only in B.C., but all over the world. In 2013, B.C. had the highest living donor rate in the country of 28 per million and 14.5 per cent in deceased donor rate – equalling the national average. There were 346 transplants and the number of organ donors (130 living and 67 deceased) increased as well. But the numbers are still very low compared to the number of people that die in the province each year. Volunteers with B.C. Transplant say some people still aren’t aware they even have to register to become a donor. Fifteen years ago, the method of becoming a donor included simply putting a dot on a driver’s licence. Now, that method is no longer valid and people wishing to become donors must register directly with B.C. Transplant. After death, each person has the ability to help up to 75 different people and save or extend the lives of as many as seven people by becoming an organ donor. Currently there are 473 people in B.C. waiting for vital organs. Only 13 per cent of residents in the Fraser Health region have signed up as donors—the lowest of any region in the province. The numbers speak for themselves.. More of us need to step up and take the few minutes it requires to register as an organ donor at transplant.bc.ca. You could end up saving a life right in your own backyard. —Victoria News

Invest in education, and save later First and foremost, let me say I support the free collective bargaining process. It may seem flawed, but it works in the majority of situations. At its best, the process allows for the free exchange of ideas, good discourse and compromise to resolve issues to mutual benefit and move forward. Both sides are then invested in the outcome. At its worst, it is about arrogance, power and stubbornness. In the current dispute that has shut B.C.’s public schools, there is a long history of mistrust whose recent incarnation came as a result of the province arbitrarily removing class size and composition clauses from the teachers’ Collective Agreement. In obtaining clauses on class size and composition, teachers would have chosen these over other proposals (including forgoing wage increases) that they were presented with at the time. The government gave no compensation to teachers when they removed the clauses. The courts have ruled it

Ron Burton was illegal to prevent teachers from bargaining their working conditions (class size and composition). The case is still before the courts and the outcome of the government’s appeal is due in October. This decision can be appealed again and there won’t be a final decision for several years. The financial cost to the BCTF and the province (taxpayers) is substantial and will continue to amass. With two BC Supreme Court rulings in their favour, teachers now want their usurped clauses returned to the Collective Agreement and the province knows the huge financial liability they face as there could be grievances dating back to 2002. I believe this encapsulates the two sides and issues. There are intangibles in that the eventual

outcome of the court case is uncertain. The government has been characterized as arrogant and mean-spirited. I cannot speak for them except to say they most certainly must realize the financial implications. The teachers have been described as greedy and overpaid. If you listen to the comments on radio shows and social media it would be easy to believe this. With time spent both walking the picket lines and playing hockey with them, I have come to fundamentally understand teachers. Do they want a pay raise? Of course, but it is not to buy a bigger house or a nicer car—it is truly to recognize the job they do in educating our children. For them it is more about respect for their profession. Do they want better working conditions? Of course, who doesn’t? The difference is that their daily classroom involvement makes them see that smaller classes don’t just benefit them personally; smaller classes

also make for a better learning experience for children. Do they want better class composition? Yes they do, and they’re prepared to defend this position. The specific “mix” of students of varying abilities within a classroom and the amount of support they receive is universally recognized to be a key factor in our children’s learning environment. Teacher collective bargaining is somewhat, although not completely, unique in that they are driving social change through the process. As I come to realize this more and more, I gain respect for their stance. Not all teachers are altruistic, but I believe the overwhelming majority are taking a stand with the best interests of students in mind. We need a fair settlement so the public education system can reopen. We need children in school to learn. We need teachers onside doing the job they love to do. Please see TEACHERS’ STRIKE, A7

ICBC funds being misused Itâ€™s becoming apparent that the fallback plan for Christy Clark and Mike De Jong for balancing the budgets is to rip off vehicle owners through siphoning hundreds of millions of what would be profits for ICBC, and calling these thefts dividends. It seems to me that if there are millions in profits, those profits should be returned to the ratepayers, not to the governmentâ€™s general revenue fund, to help them balance the budget on the backs of vehicle owners in B.C. The initial object of publicly owned automobile insurance was to operate on a breakeven proposition, and profit was not supposed to be a component of publicly owned insurance

Does the government economic agenda need to be satisfied? As a taxpayer, I say itâ€™s definitely a factor. But putting more money in now to prevent what could be even larger monetary costs once the court case is decided would save us in the long term. We would save future court costs and potentially huge grievance settlement costs for a prudent investment now. In all bargaining disputes, there must be compromise on both sides. A reasonable solution can and must be negotiated without delay. Itâ€™s time to stop the finger pointing and get on with the job of negotiating a new agreement.

In my former bedroom, a poster of the poem “How to be an Artist” now hangs. You can read the whole poem at http:// planetsark.com/sark-blankets. What has struck me for years about the poster and what was reinforced again during this visit as I recited the poem is that being an artist is really about an attitude, a state of mind.

Geraldine parent While skill and hard work are necessary components for success, the poem emphasizes the need to play, to embrace the unexpected and to experiment every day. Right from the opening lines—“Stay Loose. Learn to watch snails. Plant impossible gardens. Invite someone dangerous to tea. Make little signs that say Yes! and post them all over your house.

Parsons Bell stressed that despite the city’s claims, the company is not seeking to build a helicopter landing pad in the area. In fact, she said, no helicopters will be landing there at all. Rather, drilling equipment will be driven as close to the drill site as possible, to a proposed staging site located in an existing clearing. A helicopter would then fly in, the equipment would be attached to it with a lead and then lifted into place. She said the helicopter would operate for about one day, a total of 60 to 90 minutes and for about 10 minutes at a time. The proposed $5.4-billion pipeline twinning between Edmonton and Burnaby would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and bring hundreds of additional oil tankers through Burrard Inlet each year. 4_NE091G114

Burnaby RCMP are asking for the public’s help in figuring out what happened to a man found injured on the shoulder of a Highway 1 offramp early Tuesday. Just before 1 a.m., Burnaby Mounties were contacted by Port Mann Freeway Patrol about a man in his 50s found at the side of the road, said Staff Sgt. Major John Buis. The man was described as having “either fallen or jumped or dumped on the highway,” Buis said. He was found off the eastbound side of the highway, just west of the Willingdon offramp. The man was taken to hospital where he is in critical condition with a serious head injury. He has not yet been able to talk to police. “We’re still trying to figure out who he is,” Buis said. Police were initially notified by a passerby in the distance who indicated a newer model, beige pickup truck could be involved. Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

Supplemental Application to Participate in National Energy Board Public Hearing for Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants. Description of the Project The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal. New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC. The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website. Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so. The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate. While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section. The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Contacts Information on NEB hearing processes and participant funding is available at www.neb-one.gc.ca/TransMountainExpansion. If you require additional information, the NEB has a dedicated Project-specific Process Advisor Team to provide assistance.

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territory Inside It’s hard to believe but GMC has never held The long wheelbase model is an ima vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized posing truck and a favourite of large SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. families that need the third row of Media from across Canada landed in seating, plus a functional cargo area. Whitehorse and travelled around the The more popular short wheelbase territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC offers a lot of room as well but when Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold the third row of seats is employed rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered The Denali offers the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second streets, this preserved part of history looks most of the same and third row of seats can be folded and feels much the way it would when gold features as the more and store electronically. The Denali was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is is exceptionally well equipped and also a great test for this big truck because expensive Cadillac of the immense stretches of unpopulated Escalade but is more shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio roads with smooth sections, potholes and and heat controls, leather seating loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including use-friendly and less expensive. with French stitching. What the GMC spectacular vistas, wide-open space and Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin spectacular scenery. Spending three days Zack Spencer is a simpler dashboard layout with behind the wheel made me realize what traditional rotary knobs and buttons, a good job GMC has done with this truck, whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive from fuel economy to creature comforts. panels that take time to master. Looks Drive Last year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and The Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC system that is also available in the Escalade. This sysYukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value timin the first few months of sales, it has captured more ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the than 60 per cent.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

Vancouver Home + Design Show returns to BC Place By Kerry Vital

The annual Vancouver Home + Design Show will return to BC Place starting on Oct. 16, showcasing the latest trends and tips for homeowners. Among the highlights this year will be celebrity guests such as Bryan Baeumler, host of HGTV’s Leave it to Bryan and House of Bryan, and celebrity interior designers Colin

McAllister and Justin Ryan, currently stars of Cottage Life TV’s Colin and Justin’s Cabin Pressure. “We are so excited to welcome our favourite designing duo back to the Vancouver Home + Design Show!” says Jill Kivett, regional director at Marketplace Events, who owns and operates the Vancouver Home + Design Show. “Colin and Justin made their Vancouver debut at our show in spring 2007, and we can’t wait for our show-goers to get re-acquainted.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

From their signature humour to their spot-on design savvy, our crowds are definitely in for a well-deserved treat.” The Metrie Main Stage will host several local experts, including Jamie Banfield of Jamie Banfield Design, Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. and Leigh-Ann Perrrault, a DIY blogger and regular contributor to Cityline. Other highlights include the Samsung Tag Team Kitchen Challenge, indoor street market Portobello West and Ask A Designer, among others. The show runs until Sunday Oct. 19. “Good design is all about finding your personal style and translating it effectively and affordably into everyday life,” says Kivett. “We’re looking to give every single person to walk through our show at least one tip they can use in their space, whether they rent or own. It’s take-home advice in its finest form.” For more information about the show and to purchase tickets, visit www.vancouverhomeshow.com. Tickets will also be available at BC Place.

Prodigy is Adera’s second six-storey wod-frame project at the University of British Columbia. Among the beautiful features of the homes are stainless-steel appliances and quartz slab countertops in the kitchen.

Higher living at Adera’s Prodigy By Kerry Vital

Adera has been inspired by greatness with Prodigy, their newest condominium project at the University of British Columbia. “Prodigy will be the best building we’ve ever built,” says Eric Andreasen, vicepresident of marketing and sales for Adera. “We’ve taken what we learned from our past projects at UBC and put it all into Prodigy.” Prodigy is Adera’s second six-storey wood-

frame project at UBC, and will include two buildings and 188 homes ranging from 640 to almost 1,000 square feet. “It’s been highly successful so far,” says Andreasen. “The first phase is almost 50 per cent sold, and now we’re looking forward to the next phase of the building.” Prodigy’s exterior is inspired by the natural surroundings, incorporating exposed wood beams, cedar soffits and warm brick cladding. A dramatic two-storey glass lobby bridge and breezeway will link the two buildings. Residents on the penthouse level will all have their own private roof deck, known as Adera’s signature West Coast Lanai. The roof soffiting will be extended over a portion of the deck to allow homeowners to use their deck yearround. “This is something people will be proud to come home to,” Andreasen says. The defining feature will be the extensive

water elements, including the massive reflecting pond in the interior courtyard, where ground-floor patios will have water right up to the edge. Residents will also have stunning views of neighbouring Mundell Park and the lush landscaping that will surround Prodigy. Inside, homeowners will find an elegant kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, quartz slab countertops and a porcelain tile backsplash. One of the upgrades available is the “Ultimate Gourmet Kitchen” package, which Andreasen notes is now going to be standard in the penthouse units after several buyers on that level requested it. The luxurious bathrooms feature porcelain tile flooring, complemented by quartz slab countertops and sleek plumbing fixtures. Homeowners at Prodigy will have access to the i.D. By Me program, which allows you to personalize your home with upgrades that are

right for your lifestyle and your personality. Some of the options you can choose include your colour scheme, upgrading your appliances, changing your flooring, or custom millwork. There will be pedestrian and cyclistonly green streets on two sides of Prodigy, enhancing the natural feel of the entire development, and connecting Prodigy to various parks and other parts of Wesbrook Village. Homeowners at Prodigy will be able to take advantage of all the amenities that the neighbourhood has to offer, including an elementary and secondary school, shopping, dining and recreation. They will also be just steps from Pacific Spirit Regional Park, with its 762 hectares of beaches and temperate rain forest. Homes at Prodigy start in the low 400s. For more information, visit www.adera.com, email prodigy@adera.com, call 604-221-8878 or visit the presentation centre at 106-5983 Gray Avenue, Vancouver, open daily between noon and 5 p.m.
