It appears the new Burnaby First Coalition has one distinct difference when it’s compared with the longtime incumbents, the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA). That’s simply that they’re not the BCA. The BCA, of course, is the party that has held the majority on city council and school board since the 1980s. It’s the party that swept all civic seats two elections in a row, giving it a monopoly in Burnaby municipal politics since 2008. Burnaby First will try to change that. Its candidates and supporters are a diverse lot. Several have ties to the Conservatives, Liberals, Greens, New Democrats, Team Burnaby and Burnaby Parents Voice while others have always been independent and never belonged to a party. The party’s mayoral candidate, Daren Hancott, had been seeking the federal Conservative nomination in Burnaby-Douglas before deciding to run for office at the municipal level. Please see ‘TRYING’, A3

Beck. “Now we can make our ideas happen.” While Beck is still learning the multitude of keys needed to access all the rooms and offices spread over three floors, she’s determined to keep the new environs feeling like a welcoming space for the community to gather. After all, that’s the mandate of Burnaby Neighbourhood House. “Our hope is that it’s a home away

Six vie for mayor’s job Handful of independents among candidates from two main parties Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The field of candidates vying for the mayor of Burnaby’s job includes a very familiar face, and competition that includes newcomers and previous alsorans. Four-term Mayor Derek Corrigan of the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) leads the race as he tries for a fifth term, the first to last four years instead of three under new civic election rules. The last two elections, in 2008 and 2011, the BCA has swept all seats for mayor, council and school board. Trying to stop that run of success is businessperson Daren Hancott, mayoral candidate for the new Burnaby First Coalition. Then there are four independents aiming for the top job in the city. Candidate Sylvia Gung also
ran for mayor in 2011, finishing fourth and last with 850 votes. Allen Hutton, who was also a 2011 mayoral candidate, has thrown his hat in the ring again. The last time around, he finished in third with 1,600 votes or 4.9 per cent. Helen Hee Soon Chang is running for mayor for the first time but she’s been a regular Burnaby candidate in past elections. Chang was elected in 2005 and served one term on school board as a member of Team Burnaby. She ran unsuccessfully for school trustee in 2008 as an independent and in 2011 with the Burnaby Greens. This time, she’s going for the mayor’s job, again as an independent. A new name to Burnaby politics is Raj Gupta, a Vancouver realtor who is in the running to be the mayor of Burnaby. And New Westminster councillor. And Vancouver school trustee. A handful of independents are also aiming to win seats on Burnaby council and school
board. Jeff Kuah is running for council. He previously ran unsuccessfully for school board under Team Burnaby in 2011 and as the BC Liberal candidate in Burnaby-Edmonds in 2013. Former 2011 Team Burnaby mayoral candidate Tom Tao isn’t giving up on trying to get into office. He’s running for council again as an independent after losing elections as an independent council candidate in 2002 and 2008 and as an independent mayoral candidate in 2005. For school board, the lone independent candidate is Elias Ishak. His bio states: “Compulsory government indoctrination and conditioning is not a real education. … Oh, how the students suffer, like mice and monkeys in experiments beyond their control. … How can we bear this oppression any longer? … The issue is not at all related to funding, and modern students need now, more than ever, a modern student to represent them.” Voters go to the polls on Nov. 15.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Harry Schneider was at Brentwood Town Centre last month and was going up the escalator when he saw these two men cleaning the canvas roof. The shadow man is standing directly on the canvas roof. ‘Initially I thought that it was only one window cleaner who threw his shadow onto the canvas,’ he says. ‘But obviously the movements were not in sync between the visible man and the shadow.’
Lost in transit The province has asked residents to take part in discussions about improvements to the transportation system over the next 10 years. While public consultation is always a good idea, the province’s On The Move document, which guides public discussion, is missing some key elements. While it makes reference to BC Ferries and to the Metro Vancouver transit system, neither is part of the discussion the ministry wants to have. Bridge tolls are completely ignored. The guide asks participants a series of general questions which do not even mention ferries or tolls, and make just passing reference to transit. This comes just a few weeks after the province’s approach to BC Ferries was roundly condemned by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, its report stating cuts to ferry service and increased fares have reduced B.C. economic activity by $2 billion. As for transit within Metro Vancouver, mayors are putting together priorities for a referendum, slated for next spring. While a great number of projects have been proposed, the means to pay for all these ambitious projects remains elusive. It is obvious the province does not plan to give up any revenue, and property taxes to fund TransLink are already high. Boosting the gas tax will just send more people south of the border. Adding new taxes for more transit projects will be a tough sell, particularly given the state of the economy. The province seems determined to whistle its way by these major concerns about transportation. While there are many other priorities and public input is very helpful, ignoring several of the biggest transportation issues does not seem reasonable. —Langley Times/Black Press

Scant interest in (human) Ebola victims Word that more than 360,000 people across the world signed an online petition to save the life of a dog, owned by a Spanish nurse who was recently diagnosed with Ebola, puts the priorities of many people into perspective. The dog, Excalibur, was killed by authorities who feared he might spread the virus, although he was never tested. That part of the story doesn’t make sense. But the fact that so many people got worked up over one dog, while showing indifference to thousands of people who have lost their lives to Ebola, is deeply disturbing. The outbreak shows no sign of slowing. It appears that many people in Europe and North America do not care a whit about the poor people of West Africa who are dying of this terrible disease. Some protesters even gathered outside the Madrid apartment of the nurse, calling police who came to get the dog “assassins.” Are they suggesting that one dog’s life, whether the dog should have been killed or not, is more valuable than the almost 4,000 lives lost to this disease this year? Do they care at all about the children who have lost their parents, and the health care
Frank Bucholtz system in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, which has lost many of its workers? Bear in mind that the doctor to patient ratio in these countries, before Ebola struck, was one of the worst in the world. In Sierra Leone, it was three doctors per 100,000 people. I’m more interested in this story than some Westerners, because we visited Sierra Leone last December. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, but people at the time we visited were optimistic as the economy was improving and the country was finally getting beyond a horrible civil war, which killed and maimed thousands, destroyed infrastructure and caused investors to flee. Jobs remain scarce, and there is rampant poverty, but the people we met were almost all optimists, and treated us very well. My daughter has been travelling to Sierra Leone since

2008, and has set up a foundation there to assist young people in gaining university educations, as well as encouraging them to mentor others and run health education programs. Her foundation, The People’s Foundation of Sierra Leone, has received donations from interested North Americans. While the Ebola situation in Sierra Leone isn’t quite as bad as it is in neighbouring Liberia, the hardest-hit country, it is nonetheless terrible. Schools are closed. Food is scarce and more expensive than usual. It is almost impossible to get any health treatment, as the few resources available are being used in the fight against Ebola. Many foreigners and wealthy Sierra Leoneans have fled the country, and the consequence is that mostly poor people are left behind. Given the almost complete lack of sanitation and other basic services in the capital, Freetown, it is virtually impossible to stop the spread of the disease. Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF), which many know as Doctors Without Borders, virtually stood alone in trying to combat this disease until recently.

The national government has helped somewhat, mainly by quarantining certain areas of the country and doing house-tohouse checks to see if there were unreported Ebola victims, but the government is weak and poorlyfunded. Corruption is also an ongoing problem. I heard last week that a container of medical supplies was held up at the docks in Freetown for a month — almost certainly because a bribe was not forthcoming. Maybe it is the complexities of getting meaningful help to people in West Africa that causes so many to ignore their plight. I love dogs as much as anyone and am saddened that Excalibur lost his life. But I’m even more saddened that so many wealthy people (and that includes almost everyone in the First World) are so indifferent to the fate of our fellow human beings. Those who really want to make a difference in fighting Ebola should consider making a donation to MSF. Its online address is http://www.msf.ca. Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

COMMENT
Modern tankers aren’t leaky Exxons of yesterday Re: (Safety will be sacrificed on altar of profit, Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 15) To my letter (How could these tankers spill any oil), one writer responded with his facts: One, the Titanic had double hull. Wrong; it had only a double bottom. Two, the Exxon Valdez had a double hull. Wrong again; it had a single hull. And that pretty well defines the validity of the rest of his cherry-picked arguments. Another writer asked: How could Exxon Valdez hit a marked reef ? It did 25 years ago, but it would not hit it in Vancouver in 2014 where tankers are inspected for compliance with the international and Canadian regulations before loading, have a captain and two pilots on the bridge, are monitored by the port’s advanced airporttype guidance system and are escorted by tugboat. And this system of checks and balances reflect the technological and regulatory advances in oil shipping in 2014, the system that has been designed to eliminate a possibility of human error and grounding, or collision of tankers with other ships. Jerry Sklenar, P.Eng. North Vancouver
TERRORISM/OIL CONNECTION NOT NONSENSE Re: Faulty logic on pipeline/ terrorism connection (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 10) Letter writer Gord Larkin should stop trying to put words in other people’s mouths. Ziggy Eckardt did not write nonsense. You may recall that Eckardt wrote about what might happen if we stop developing Canada’s natural resources. He stated that “The world is not going to stop using oil. Canada’s potential customers will simply keep buying it from their old suppliers in the Middle East.” And he added that “Islamic terrorists are for the most part financed by oil producing Arab states.” Larkin may call Eckardt’s contributions “mindless, harmless dribble,” but that

does not make them so. Let the readers sort out who is using common sense and who should go back to the drawing board. Eva Derton Burnaby
IS A SOCIALIST UTOPIA IN THE WORKS? Mayor Derek Corrigan’s rant back in January was directed at the province of British Columbia, but I have to wonder now whether it was not actually a subliminal expression of the BCA/NDP/Corrigan’s own ambition for Burnaby? With our mayor spending unlimited public funds on fighting a legal battle over a pipeline in federal jurisdiction, and North Burnaby federal NDP MP Kennedy Stewart demanding that Kinder Morgan register as a third party advertiser in the municipal election, why not just declare Burnaby an independent state and His Worship can appoint himself President for Life? With the globalization of communication and travel, perhaps we could propose a federation with Andorra, Liechtenstein, Vatican, and San Marino. We could contract the Vatican’s Swiss Guard to defend our borders, and impose duties on all incoming commodities— especially hydrocarbons—to pay for the bureaucracy which would then expand sufficiently for all of us to join. Socialist utopia in one fell swoop! Thomas Hasek Burnaby
CANDIDATES SHOULD NOT STRAY Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (BC Views, NewsLeader, Oct. 8) Tom Fletcher’s column is the “Emperor has no clothes” moment for the upcoming civic elections. Voters should be wary of grandstanding politicians opining on issues outside municipal jurisdiction who
are either pandering for votes or ignorant of the areas over which they have real authority. As a first proposition, cities, creatures of provincial jurisdiction, have no authority over inter-provincial pipelines involved in interprovincial transportation. No amount of “lawyering up” will do any good on this issue as the eminent domain of railways and pipelines involved in interprovincial commerce lies with the federal authority. Just like municipalities are creatures of provincial governments, The National Energy Board is a creature of the federal government and therefore has the appropriate jurisdiction. We should not let municipal candidates stray from discussing issues they have legitimate authority, no matter how compelling they parade their social engineering goals. E.C. ‘Ted’ Eddy Coquitlam

a “jukebox” musical. Nolan said that means the story is written around existing music from the era, rather than a traditional musical where original music is expected to advance the plot. “The songs illustrate,” said Nolan. “The audience can enjoy the songs without having to worry about what they do to the plot.” The show’s cast features Katherine Alpen as Missy, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman and giggly Suzy, Carolyn Bergstrand as sultry Cindy Lou and Stefania Wheelhouse plays Betty Jean, the group’s comic relief. Nolan said each member of the ensemble is strong enough to be a lead. “They’re all triple threats,” said Nolan. “We couldn’t have been better blessed with how beautiful they sound.” And their task wasn’t easy, as the play covers two very distinct eras of music, fashion and attitude. “That’s a bit of a challenge, to age someone 10 years,” said Nolan.

Port truckers get enforced pay, smaller fleet Reforms aim to ease container hauling strife Jeff Nagel Black Press
The number of container truckers licensed to serve Port Metro Vancouver will be slashed and those who survive are being promised higher enforced pay as part of reforms to cement
labour stability and avoid any new strike disrupting trade. B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Wednesday the province will legislate rates for container truckers, retroactively, and indicated the current number of 2,000 licensed trucks could drop to about 1,500. Too many trucks now chase too few loads, according to Port Metro Vancouver planning vice-president Peter Xotta, causing “intense competition” between firms, insufficient work for truckers and undercutting on agreed rates. Reducing the number of licensed operators is expected to create a better balance. A 28-day strike by container truckers last spring ended
on government promises of a range of improvements, including minimum rates and compensation for long waits at terminals. But unionized truckers had warned over the summer another strike was possible without enforcement of the rate floor to prevent undercutting by some trucking companies. Truckers now licensed to haul containers in and out of container terminals will be invited by Port Metro Vancouver to apply for new licenses with mandatory performance bonds, damage deposits, driver sponsorship agreements and licence charges. Port officials aren’t yet saying how they’ll decide who is in and who is out of the new licence system.
B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako said the new requirements aim to encourage responsible conduct and deter marginal operators who make the business more volatile. “They want to set the financial barriers high enough that it reduces the likelihood that trucking companies are going to have a race to the bottom by reducing their rates and thereby reducing compensation to drivers,” Yako said. Most BCTA members would much prefer unrestricted competition, she said. But Yako said repeated strikes have spurred the senior governments to deviate from national policy and regulate for economic stability, not just safety and the environment.

Quality and value at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital
Maple Ridge has welcomed Morningstar Homes with open arms, already making its newest single-family home project, Robertson Heights, a huge success after just a few weeks. “We recognized that today’s single-family home buyer is looking not only for quality and value, but innovation as well,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “We’ve taken the time to do our homework,
researching ideas that are fresh and new and re-creating them in a home where affordability is key.” Ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet including unfinished basements, the three- and four-bedroom homes include some pretty amazing features. Among them are vaulted ceilings, window seats and the gourmet kitchens that Morningstar is known for. “We always strive to offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “In a market where many people consider single-
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
family home ownership out of reach, we’ve pleasantly surprised potential purchasers by providing not only an affordable home but one that is truly innovative with the bells and whistles you’d expect to see in a much larger home.” Morningstar held their grand opening of Robertson Heights in late September, and sold 21 homes in the first two weeks, making the neighbourhood one of the most successful yet. Calahan points out that the six furnished show homes give potential buyers the ability to look at all of their options before making the final decision on which home to buy. Robertson Heights is Morningstar’s second project in Maple Ridge. The first, The Summit at Grant Hill, is already over 50 per cent sold out after opening just two months ago. Homes at Robertson Heights start at $449,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-380-4708 or stop by the sales office at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

Stunning views are just one of the beautiful features at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands. Recreation opportunities are just minutes away, and the homes offer excellent curb appeal due to their Craftsman architecture.
Homes without compromise at Harrison Highlands By Kerry Vital
At Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, buyers won’t have to compromise on what they’re looking for in a new home. “This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “There is definitely a demand for these homes.” Harrison Highlands is just minutes from Harrison Lake, Mission, Agassiz and the Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as several other opportunities for leisure and recreation. “Sandpiper Golf Club and salmon and
sturgeon fishing are only two minutes away!” says Stone. Harrison Highlands recently celebrated its grand opening weekend, and the response was tremendous. “This is the type of project that people have been waiting for,” Stone says. There are two distinct communities at Harrison Highlands: Woodside and Briarwood. The exclusive Briarwood homes are located in a gated area, though the home types are the same for both communities within the larger community of Harrison Highlands. There are a variety of available
floorplans, including ranchers, one-and-ahalf storey plans and two-storey homes, with two to four bedrooms. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Stone says. Two-thirds of the homes at Harrison Highlands will include this feature. The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home. European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes). The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes
at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have infloor heat in the master bedroom as well. The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks and natural trails with amazing river and mountain views. “There’s always something to see here,” Stone says. “Just check out our views!” Future plans at Harrison Highlands include a neighbourhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants and other retail spaces. “This is a fantastic place to raise a family,” Stone says. Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands. ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (6878439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.
