Chalk one up for the City of Burnaby after it won the latest round Thursday at the National Energy Board (NEB). But the next day Kinder Morgan was already back on its feet, throwing its next punches. The NEB turned down Kinder Morgan’s request for an order that would have forced Burnaby city hall

The company wants to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby, almost tripling capacity to allow for increased exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets. Earlier this year, Kinder Morgan announced its new preferred route in Burnaby would be a tunnel through Burnaby Mountain. The NEB extended the project review process to give the company time to conduct studies to see whether that’s feasible. Please see NO INVASIVE WORK, A4

Teachers and students may be back in class but the financial uncertainty continues for Burnaby school district now that the education ministry wants all its strike savings back. Burnaby district secretary-treasurer Greg Frank said the district was allowed to keep 20 per cent of the total savings resulting from the teachers strike in the 2013-2014 school year. So Burnaby returned $6.3 million to Victoria representing the teacher salaries and benefits that were not paid due to the teachers’ job action in May and June. It gets to keep about $1.5 million and it also managed to save about $1.9 million in the costs of energy, substitute staff, supplies and services and benefits. But any hopes that the money would help the district’s already strained budget have been put on hold by the Ministry of Education. Please see DISTRICTS, A3

Michael Bublé pops into RCMP open house Burnaby entertainer Michael Bublé was a surprise visitor to the Burnaby RCMP’s open house at their Deer Lake detachment on Saturday. Bublé was in town on a break from his world concert tour. He was taking his grandfather Demetrio “Mitch” Santaga out for coffee Saturday morning when they bumped into Cst. Mike Kalanj, the Burnaby RCMP’s mental health coordinator. Kalanj’s late father, Mike Sr. who passed away in February, was a close friend of
Santaga. Kalanj invited the pair to drop by the open house, which they did, said the Burnaby RCMP’s communications strategist Maureen Gulyas. During his impromptu visit, Bublé posed for photos, chatted with officers, and was presented a pin by Chief Constable Dave Critchley. When Bublé’s grandfather offered to buy him a hotdog from the stand at the event, Bublé politely declined. The open house featured displays and demonstrations of various aspects of policing.

“They sent out a directive that as of Sept. 1, all strike savings are to be reported to the ministry and their intention is to take that funding back from districts,” said Frank. Yet, the strike’s duration through the summer and first three weeks of September has created a number of budget challenges for Burnaby. “That is going to create a financial hardship for us this year, and we’re not yet sure what the magnitude of that is, but that may impact the savings we carried forward from last year.”
Those challenges include the and from not being able to loss of summer school, which properly register those students usually brings in $2.3 million in for the fall, leading to reduced gross revenues.

School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees had it written into their new contract, ratified during the teachers dispute, that they would still get paid even if they were prevented from working because of teachers’ picket lines. The only savings on that front was from not having to hire replacement staff for workers off sick, Frank said. The district can keep the money that was spent. “But if we do identify savings when we finish our analysis our understanding is they will be taking that back,” he

said. “We’ve got no commitment from them that they’ll recognize our loss of revenues from some of these other program areas yet and that’s a concern to the district.” Districts must identify and report their strike savings to the ministry by Oct. 17. The ministry has indicated it will consider requests for funding to cover additional costs or revenue losses caused by the strike, Frank said. “We continue to try to emphasize with the ministry that it’s important that they do recognize those other issues.

In August the NEB confirmed that under the NEB Act, Kinder Morgan could do study and survey work on property even without the landowner’s permission. The company began work in Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. Company crews cut down trees, in violation of city parks bylaws, and Burnaby city officials issued stop-work orders and tickets in early September. The tree cutting stopped only after city staff placed themselves in the way. That led to the company seeking the order which they were denied on Thursday. “We’re pleased that Burnaby’s bylaws have been confirmed at least for the time being,” said the City of Burnaby’s lawyer, Greg McDade. “This is an important case for municipalities everywhere.” Burnaby had raised the constitutional question in August but the NEB didn’t consider it because the company was not asking for an access order. Essentially, the NEB’s response to the company’s request for an access order is that it can’t consider issuing one without dealing with the constitutional question.
“It means we were right in the first place,” said McDade, “that Kinder Morgan was acting without lawful authority, even though they claimed they had it. That’s really troubling that a big corporation like this can ignore a municipal stop-work order and be wrong. “They used force. They were prepared to block the city’s parks officers from coming in. If this is an indication of how Kinder Morgan acts now, what would we be looking at when they actually start construction?” There’s no question the NEB has the jurisdiction to grant an access order, but only a superior court can actually quash municipal or provincial laws, McDade said. Municipal laws have the force of provincial laws, explained McDade. And in Canadian law, if the there’s a federal and provincial law, you have to comply with both. When a provincial law forbids you from doing what the federal one allows, only a court can decide which one wins out. The city has filed a civil claim against the company seeking a permanent injunction to stop any more intrusive work in the park. A B.C. Supreme
Court judge has already turned down its request for an interim injunction. Raising the constitutional question normally takes a month or two, and has to involve the attorneys general of all the provinces and the federal government. NEB spokesperson Sarah Kiley said the company still has the power under the NEB Act to do survey work and gather information, even without an order from the board. It simply can’t violate city bylaws. As for Kinder Morgan, Trans Mountain project spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell said in a statement that for now, “We have no intention of resuming invasive work in Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.” But ongoing non-invasive survey work through the Westridge neighbourhood will continue, she said. In a letter to Westridge residents, also on Thursday, Parsons Bell said the company has heard “loud and clear” from them that it would prefer to see the proposed pipeline go through Burnaby Mountain. But the ongoing access issues through the conservation area may mean it will have to go back to its original plan.

POLICE BRIEFS
Man killed in North Burnaby A 20-year-old man is dead after a shooting in North Burnaby, near Brentwood mall Wednesday night. Just before 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 24, several calls were made to the Burnaby RCMP reporting shots fired near Lougheed Highway and Rosser Avenue, said the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). At the scene, Burnaby Mounties found a man dead in the street in the 2000-block of Rosser. IHIT has taken conduct of the case and was at the scene throughout Thursday. The victim has been identified as 20-year-old Aladdin Ramadan. “Mr. Ramadan does not possess a criminal record and although IHIT investigators are attempting to determine a motive, we believe it to be a targeted shooting,” said IHIT Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound in a press release. Police are looking for three males who fled the scene after the shooting. They left in a smaller, silver or blue compact vehicle, headed south on Rosser Avenue. The driver is described as
a Persian male with a short haircut, shaved on the side with sideburns. He appeared cleancut and was wearing dark clothing. The other two suspects also wore dark clothing and had large builds, described as over six-feet tall and muscular. Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Prolific car thieves arrested Burnaby RCMP and New Westminster Police have made four arrests after an investigation into vehicle theft involving several cities. Those arrested are believed responsible for dozens of vehicle-related thefts in the region, including in Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Vancouver and Richmond. Police believe commercial vans were targeted to help commit future crimes and to transport stolen property. Burnaby’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST) began focusing on a number of suspects known to police after it noticed a spike in auto thefts
Customer Appreciation Days 2 DAYS ONLY Friday, October 3 & Saturday, October 4
and theft from vehicles over the summer. In a three-week period alone in Burnaby, 20 vans were stolen, nearly one a day. On July 15, POST arrested Robert Karajaoja, a 31-year-old New Westminster resident in connection with a number of vehicle thefts. At the time, 11 charges were laid and Karajaoja was released on a recognizance with numerous bail conditions. On Sept. 24, officers from Burnaby and New Westminster worked together and eventually arrested three men and a woman. Robert Karajaoja, 31, Thomos Karajaoja, 26, Kevin Montemurro, 31 and Monique Andreason, 33 face numerous charges related to property theft. “These individuals were active in many jurisdictions and contributed to the upward trend in auto theft in the last few months,” said Burnaby RCMP’s operations officer Superintendent Stephan Drolet. “This is also an excellent demonstration of coordinating resources where multiple communities are impacted by prolific offenders.”

puBlIshed & prInted By BlACk press ltd. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Confidence shaken
LAST WEEK:
The shocking revelation that a high-risk offender who had been publicly called out by Surrey’s mayor is now charged with the second-degree murder of a 17-year-old girl has shaken public confidence in police, the courts, politicians and the parole and probation systems. Making the bad situation worse was a shaky performance by police at a press conference to announce the arrest. They refused to name the man, citing a ban on publication of his name — a ban that was found not to apply to the situation in the least. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts had expressed concerns that 43-year-old Raymond Caissie was being released to live in Surrey more than a year ago, after serving a full 22-year sentence for sexual assault and several other crimes. Watts, in her final days as mayor and about to receive the nomination as a federal Conservative candidate in South Surrey, now says legislation needs to change. That sounds good — but take it with a huge grain of salt. The federal Conservatives have brought in numerous laws to toughen up sentencing and other measures. Almost universally, they are challenged under the Charter of Rights. The legal-judicial community is filled with do-gooders who use their considerable power to ensure that some people who should not get out of jail end up living among us. A very few continue to commit crimes. No one argues with the ideal of trying to rehabilitate prisoners and prepare them for “the outside.” However, a small number simply do not deserve that chance. They should be locked up indefinitely. Getting that to happen, though, would require a major change in the way the judicial system actually deals with people who are found guilty of horrendous crimes. – Langley Times

Is CUPE running your city hall? WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises. When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume. Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc. Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly

survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters. During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors. Is the province going to impose some kind of solution? “There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well. Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized

bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground? “We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.” Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this? “The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and

Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff ? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Clawback ignores underfunding of schools So the provincial government is going to pay the $40 a day to parents for school days missed by clawing back unexpended monies from school board budgets. According to education minister Peter Fassbender, the “saved” money is part and parcel of the provincial education budget and since school boards didn’t use it, they lose it. Of course, his logic ignores the point that after years of underfunding, school boards could use the unexpended money to bolster—if only by a little bit— an already cash-starved education system. After all, it’s not as if they had a say in making the $40-a-day promise, much less played a role in creating the dispute that led to it. And what about the appropriateness of diverting education funds approved by the Legislative Assembly to an after-the-fact (as well as ad hoc) measure? Shouldn’t it at least be examined by the elected body that approved the original budget?
suburban urban Vanouver. And this for a hospital? Smells like politics to me. I find it interesting in our Best Places to Live in Vancouver polls (www. robbinssceresearch.com) that the cities that are getting the most institutions benefits (hospitals particularly) are in BC Liberal ridings. This simply forces the BC New Democrats to alter that and give back to NDP ridings to make things more even. How is this progress? Glen P. Robbins —online comments burnabynewsleader.com

TRANSLINK HAS HISTORY OF QUESTIONABLE SPENDING I agree with Mayor Derek Corrigan that the TransLink referendum will fail. I sense that many voters think TransLink has a questionable reputation for transportation spending. For example, the Golden Ears
Bridge is too big and a tunnel for the Lougheed Highway is more effective than the King Edward overpass. The Evergreen Line is a growing mistake. The money it uses should have gone to a tunnel linking St. John’s Street and Gaglardi Way. I imagine there would be economic benefits for Burnaby. Vincent Lizee Coquitlam

Burnaby RCMP Const. Shelagh Mitchell is raising German shepherd puppy Genny, a prospective police dog, for a year as part of the training for all officers who have applied to become RCMP dog handlers. The puppies are socialized and trained to overcome situations they typically don’t like, such as escalators and slippery floors.

Genny isn’t a big fan of malls. It’s not so much the shopping part of it, it’s more the anxietyinducing inconveniences. Like escalators. And those shiny, slippery floors. After all, she’s a purebred German shepherd. And slipping on such surfaces just makes her bring out her claws for traction, which just causes her to slide even more. But she’s also an RCMP police dog in training. So she’ll need to get over it and forge ahead to carry out her canine cop duties. Helping her is Burnaby RCMP Const. Shelagh Mitchell, 29, her designated puppy raiser for a year. Mitchell is among the 80 RCMP officers across Canada responsible for the proper “imprinting” of police puppies to set longlasting behavioural responses and patterns, said Cpl. Nelson MacMorran of the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services team, by email. All their puppy raisers are also aspiring RCMP dog handlers who aim to be among the 135 general duty and 22 detection teams across the country. Not only do the puppies get some training, so do their imprinters who learn the importance of the bond between dog and handler, MacMorran said.
Genny is Mitchell’s third police puppy. She noted all the RCMP dogs born each breeding season are given names that start with the same letter. “I’ve gone through the Es, Fs and now on to the Gs,” she said with a laugh. She gets the puppies at two months old and it’s those first two weeks that are the hardest, she said. It’s their first time away from their moms and siblings, and they’re not used to being in dog crates. Genny was flown to the Lower Mainland from Innisfail, Alta., where the RCMP’s police dog training centre is located. “They’re very upset their first few days,” Mitchell said. But they soon develop a bond which was evident on a recent afternoon at the Burnaby detachment where an energetic Genny was just happy to be with Mitchell and quick to frolic, play and bounce around like any little kid. Mitchell didn’t grow up having dogs. Her family didn’t have one until she was in Grade 12. But she’s wanted to be a dog handler ever since she saw an old 1980s video about the dog unit while at the RCMP training depot. “Just from watching that I was hooked.” As a puppy raiser, she’s now not only giving the dogs a loving home, Mitchell is training them in the sorts of behaviours they’ll need in their policing careers. They’re socialized so they get used to children and social
situations ranging from big crowds to one-on-ones with strangers. And they become familiarized with a myriad of environments that they might one day encounter while chasing criminals—dark spaces, escalators, elevators, metal-grate stairs, and yes, slippery floors and pretty much anything else that could make dogs uncomfortable. “She doesn’t love the escalator,” Mitchell said of Genny. “The important thing is she’ll walk on them … They just have to be able to work through it.” Mitchell brings her police puppies with her to work. As a member of Burnaby’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team, she never knows when she’ll get back to the detachment so she brings Genny along in her crate. She noted that many puppies spend a lot of their time sleeping. “They’re very high energy and when they’re awake, it’s go, go, go. When they’re out, it’s like a light switch.” Being a puppy raiser seems much like being a parent. “They’re a full-time job. I joke that I have two jobs.” And like a parent seeing their kids leave the nest, it can be bittersweet when the puppies are handed off to the officers that will become their handlers. Mitchell said she makes sure to manage her expectations from the start. “It’s definitely hard [to see the dogs go] but for me, I just want to know they’ll be taken care of.”

B.C. reviews offender monitoring after teen’s murder ‘Somebody dropped the ball’ on Caissie release conditions Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton says she is in discussions with federal Justice Minister Peter McKay on potential ways to tighten monitoring of released highrisk criminals in the wake of the murder of Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch. Expanded use of electronic monitoring “is something that probably should be considered,” Anton told reporters last week after the arrest of convicted rapist Raymond Lee Caissie. Now charged with seconddegree murder, the 43-year-old Caissie was released from prison into Surrey last year after serving a 22-year sentence for a violent sexual assault and robbery in Abbotsford in 1991. The Parole Board repeatedly refused to grant him early release, citing a high risk to reoffend and seriously harm or kill someone. “He was identified publicly
as being a violent sexual offender,” Anton said, noting Caissie has been under police surveillance since his release. “Everybody who was involved took this case and this person very seriously. Whether or not there are more things that could be put in place – that’s a question I’ve raised with the federal minister.” Asked if the province adequately funds its Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, Anton responded: “They are resourced. They don’t watch the person 100 per cent of the time. Could they watch them more? Again, I think that is a question that can be considered in this case.” Anton called it a terrible tragedy. “We expect that our daughters should be able to be safe when they’re waiting for a bus,” she said. “Serena Vermeersch was not safe that day. We owe it to her and to her family to do what we can to put into place things that keep our community safe.” Premier Christy Clark on Friday said the province wants “a tougher set of
B.C. OFFENDER MONITORING
- 31 offenders released in B.C. who have completed their sentences are currently subject to court-imposed terms and conditions because they have a high risk to reoffend and are deemed a risk to the community. - An average of 75 offenders were being electronically monitored in B.C. each day in 2013/14. - There are currently 10 former prisoners being electronically monitored in B.C. who are assessed as high risk to reoffend.
rules for high-risk offenders who are a real danger in our communities.” She said expanded electronic monitoring may offer “a second line of defence” but the focus must be on keeping high-risk offenders out of communities in the first place. Clark said she also awaits recommendations from Abbotsford-South MLA and former University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas, who is leading a blue ribbon committee on crime reduction. SFU criminologist Rob
Gordon predicted it would be “hellishly hard” to try to declare a soon-to-be released convict a dangerous offender to keep them in prison beyond the full sentence when such a determination was not sought at sentencing. “I don’t think it’s feasible,” he said, suggesting the focus should instead be on the already available use of tight, well-enforced conditions of release imposed by the court. Sex offenders are often subject to overnight curfews and a ban on visiting places such as swimming pools, schools or using the Internet. But Gordon said conditions for release can be so restrictive that a high-risk offender is essentially subject to house arrest, electronically monitored by ankle bracelet and allowed just an hour or two a day away from home, with intense police surveillance at those times. Such court orders are usually for one or two years but can be renewed with a judge’s approval. “Stronger laws are not the answer. We need better and more intelligent surveillance of these people.”
Hairdresser releases second feature film Burnaby filmmaker Ishwar L. Maisuria is releasing his second independent feature film In The End on Sept. 30. The film will be available on the Vancouver-based video-on-demand platform Reelhouse (www.reelhouse.org). In The End is a suspense drama written by Andrew Wilmot from a story by Maisuria, who produced, directed and edited the film. Original music was composed by Michael Vincent. All three are graduates of Simon Fraser University’s Master of Fine Arts program. Maisuria was featured in a NewsLeader story last year about how the independent filmmaker pays the bills by cutting hair at his family’s Burnaby salon, Harmony Hairworks on Sixth Street. In The End premiered at the Oaxaca International Film festival in Mexico and has already won the Award of Merit from The Indie Fest in La Jolla, California. At the Canada International film Festival, which features independent productions from more than 90 countries, it took home the Award of Excellence for a Canadian film. Maisuria also took the film to the Toronto International Film Festival and acquired a distributor to market the film internationally. Info: http://www.facebook.com/ intheendmovie

Knights squash Voodoos for third shutout of season The St. Thomas More Knights picked up their third shutout of the season, blanking the Rutland Voodoos 53-0 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West on Friday. Quarterback Terrell Jana threw for 160 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for 102 yards and a TD to lead the No.-4 ranked Knights who jumped out to a 33-0 lead after just one quarter. Two of the TD tosses were caught by JJ Deslaurier and the other by running back Shane Noel. Noel notched another touchdown on a run to go with ones scored by Jordan Stewart
and Matt Smiegel. STM is tied atop the Eastern Conference standings at 2-0 with the Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam. The Knights are 3-1 overall. They will travel to Kelowna to take on the Mt. Boucherie Bears on Friday.
Panthers nip Griffins • The Moscrop Panthers continue to roll along in AA play racking up their 11th consecutive win Friday. The Panthers edged the Eric Hamber Griffins 19-18 at the Vancouver school. It was their 11th straight win going back
to their perfect season in 2013 when they won the provincial AA Tier 2 championship. Both teams are now playing AA Tier 1. The Griffins scored on a 60-yard touchdown pass with 30 seconds left but failed on the two-point convert try to give the Panthers the win. Fidel Hodge scored two TDs for Moscrop while Andrew Jones had one. Moscrop is 2-0 this season, 1-0 in Southern Conference play. The Panthers don’t play again until Oct. 10 when they will tangle with the Hugh Boyd Trojans at the Richmond school’s field.

Burnaby Minor gets $100,000 gaming grant A $100,000 community gaming grant is going to the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association to support its youth programs and to provide financial assistance to families who would otherwise not be able to participate. The grant program
allows non-profit groups to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. The grants are awarded in the categories of sports, public safety, arts and culture, environment and human and social
services. “The future is our youth, and having them involved in amateur sports goes a long way in helping to make better citizens,” said Darryl Mah, president of the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association. “These funds encourage and support
young hockey players in the community to learn, enjoy and participate in sport,” said Burnaby-North MLA Richard T. Lee. “They also help the organization promote and foster pride in this traditional and meaningful Canadian sport throughout Burnaby and beyond.”
A bountiful Thanksgiving for Burnaby Thanksgiving will be a lot more bountiful for Burnaby families in need, thanks to the efforts of more than 238 volunteers who collected 9,936 pounds of non-perishable food during the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. The volunteers visited more than 10,000 homes across the city to collect food items that had been packed in speciallymarked donation bags that were distributed by Save-On Foods grocery stores. The local collection was part of a provincewide effort that amassed about 410,000 pounds of food from 250,000 addresses in 49 communities. “It was a very
humbling experience witnessing all the bags and donations pouring in,” said the drive’s Burnaby representative Jason Nagy. “I am relieved to know some people will be with food
this Thanksgiving.” In addition to the door-todoor collection, donations were also dropped off at a bin located at Save-On Foods at Market Crossing.
