Protesters hit with Kinder Morgan lawsuit Crowdfunding campaign seeks to raise money for legal fees Wanda Chow

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

Workers bring in the cranberry harvest at Mayberry Farms in South Burnaby on Saturday. They use beaters to knock the berries from their vines and then the loose berries are corralled with booms to a conveyor that loads them into trucks. This year’s harvest of 6 million pounds of berries is about 25 per cent lower than usual because of frost last February that killed a number of vines. See MORE PHOTOS on page A3

budget planning process. Matthew Hartney, running for council for Burnaby First, is an accountant who served one year and seven months as director of finance for North Battleford, Sask. Most recently he served eight months in Huntsville, Ont. as its executive director of public infrastructure. He said in looking at Burnaby’s

budget and financial statements available online, “what is apparent is the budget system is broken.” He noted that the city’s golf services division of the parks and recreation department budgeted for a $72,000 deficit in 2014. “When you budget for a deficit you have to build it into the tax rate.”

Rather, city hall should be considering cuts to programs such as the free parks and recreation services councillors and other city officials receive, he said. Hartney said it appears the budgets simply add a few percentage points on the previous year’s numbers. “They should at least have a discussion about breaking even.” Please see CITY FINANCES, A15

Protesters were stunned to be hit by a Kinder Morgan lawsuit seeking damages for being prevented from carrying out survey and study work last week on Burnaby Mountain. But the group is fighting back with lawyers and a crowdfunding campaign to help pay their legal fees. Stephen Collis, an English professor at Simon Fraser University, acted as a media spokesperson for the protesters at Burnaby Mountain last Wednesday. That’s when Kinder Morgan crews were chased off before they could begin their work. The company won a National Energy Board order the previous week, allowing it to go ahead with work to determine if it can tunnel through the mountain as part of its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. It also prevents Burnaby city hall from stopping them for violating city bylaws. Please see KINDER MORGAN, A3

Kinder Morgan seeks compensation for lost time ⫸

Berry tIme Late October to mid-November is cranberry harvest time at Mayberry Farms in South Burnaby. The process begins by flooding the bogs. Special beaters then knock the berries from their vines. The loose berries are corralled with heavy booms and steered towards a conveyor for loading onto trucks. The berries are then processed for juice.

continued from frOnt page

The next day, Oct. 30, Collis was preparing for an evening class when a stack of documents three to four inches thick arrived at about 4:30 p.m. “I really couldn’t make heads nor tails of it at first,” he said. He then transitioned to a feeling of “shock and stupor” before realizing he was being sued and had to be in court in less than 24 hours to defend himself. He had no warning this was about to happen. And this is the first time he’s been sued despite being involved in protests in support of environmental causes for a number of years. Collis is one of five people named in the lawsuit. Their two lawyers managed to delay the court hearing until Wednesday, Nov. 5 to give them time to get up to speed on the case. The company is also seeking an injunction to prevent protesters from interfering with their work on the mountain, something protesters always know can happen. “But a massive lawsuit is not even in the back of your mind,” Collis said. “What most disturbs me … is a feeling of having our democratic rights suppressed.” Kinder Morgan is seeking damages to make up for the loss of time they could be using to do their work. “The pipeline isn’t even approved yet, this is purely surveying. So I’m not sure how they’d be losing money on the pipeline already.” Collis said it’s clear it’s a “SLAPP lawsuit,” a strategic lawsuit against public participation. “They want to just silence people and keep them out of the way and get their work done.” It’s unclear what amount of damages is being sought, but he noted some media have pegged it at about $5.5 million. The injunction states it also applies to anyone, preventing any John or Jane Doe from having access to Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area until the company completes its study work. To defend themselves, the protesters have turned to social media and a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for their legal fees. The campaign, at http://www.gofundme.com/gkxn9o, raised more than $13,000 in its first 24 hours. In an emailed statement, Trans Mountain Pipelines said, “Last week Trans Mountain gave notice to seek an injunction order against protesters on Burnaby work sites so that we can safely continue field studies mandated by the NEB. Our preference is to work cooperatively, and we respect the right to peaceful protest. However, we are required by the NEB to complete these studies in order to support our application, and we are pursuing our legal options.”

The Burnaby Inter-Agency Council will host an allcandidates meeting on Friday, Nov. 7, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Metrotown Community Resource Centre, 3rd floor, 4460 Beresford St., Burnaby. All are invited to attend the “community dialogue” on social issues in the city. Find out what the candidates running for mayor, councillor and school trustee think about social issues in Burnaby, including those concerning families, youth, seniors, women, persons with disabilities, and newcomers. The venue is wheelchair accessible. The vote is Nov. 15.

Simon Fraser University is tops among comprehensive universities in Maclean’s magazine’s 2015 annual university rankings. It’s the 11th time SFU has come in at No. 1 over the past 24 years, including five straight years from 2008 to 2012. Last year, it ranked second in its category. The Burnabybased university also finished in the top 10 for best overall university, out of 49 across Canada. McGill was named top medical doctoral university.

Burnaby firefighters made quick work of a house fire in the Riverside neighbourhood of Big Bend early Thursday morning. Burnaby fire department received a call just before midnight of a fire at 6031 10th Ave., just off Willard Street. The fire began in the rear of the house, starting at the deck and extending into the house, said assistant fire chief Rick Weir. The bulk of the fire was put out within about 10 minutes. “It was a very quick knockdown.” There was no one in the home at the time, said Weir. Neighbours told firefighters that the previous residents had recently moved out and the new residents had yet to move in. There were no injuries and the fire is under investigation.

City to build up to 12 childcares at local schools The ever-present childcare shortage could soon be eased in Burnaby after city council approved a plan to build up to 12 such facilities at local schools. Council approved a memorandum of agreement with Burnaby school district in which city hall will fund the capital costs of building the childcares. The district will provide the land at school properties and manage their operation, which will be handled by non-profit childcare providers. Coun. Paul McDonell, chair of Burnaby’s social issues committee, said the facilities will be funded at no cost to taxpayers by using amenity funds contributed by developers in exchange for bonus density. It could see 500 childcare spaces added to the city over the next three years. The key to the plan is the

Village site at Edmonds Street and Kingsway, she said. Cressey Development Group plans to construct a mixed-use highrise project at that corner. In February 2013, it proposed that part of its amenity contribution in exchange for bonus density would be to build a childcare with 70 spaces at a cost of $5 million. That’s when council said it would take the cash instead, “and we’ll do it cheaper,” Jordan said. The developer would have factored in the land cost, and new concrete construction into its cost estimates, she said. But with school district land being contributed and the use of specially-designed portables, Burnaby estimates it can build each facility for about $600,000. Work is expected to begin on the first facility in 2015. That experience will guide the city in building the rest. Using the density bonus funds is an example of how developers in Burnaby are contributing towards making the city more livable, said Coun. Dan Johnston.

city’s partnership with the school district, he said. It’s similar to when the city builds running tracks and playing fields on school grounds so both students and the wider community benefit. “It allows us to do more when we don’t have to tie our money up in land.” Currently, the city owns five childcare centres that provide a total of 232 licensed childcare spaces. The school district already has 777 spaces in 21 school locations. As for the timing of the announcement, smack dab in the middle of an election campaign, Coun. Colleen Jordan said in an interview, “we wanted to get it done before the 15th of November (election day) but we have been working on it for a long time.” She noted that a shortage of childcare in the city was identified in Burnaby’s social sustainability strategy as an issue that needed to be addressed. And the plan came out of the planning department’s work on the redevelopment of the Value

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Seeing the light

LAST WEEK:

Daylight saving time ended on the weekend. Hopefully you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep. It will serve you well. Because for the coming winter months you’ll have to be extra vigilant on the road. Whether you’re driving a vehicle, riding a bike or walking the sidewalks. That’s because the dark, rainy months of the West Coast winter are some of the deadliest for pedestrians. With darkness now descending just as the afternoon rush hour peaks and lingering through most of the morning commute, it’s harder and harder to see people crossing the road, bolting out from between parked cars. Add to that the seemingly endless rain that lashes us from mid-October through February, and it’s a recipe for tragedy waiting to happen. A 2012 report by the City of Vancouver said nearly half of all pedestrian fatalities in the city occur in January and February. There are about 250 pedestrian collisions a month from November through January. Education and enforcement campaigns are helping reduce those numbers. But it’s common sense that will most likely keep you from joining those statistics. Drivers need to be alert. That means minimizing distractions, electronic or otherwise, when they’re behind the wheel. Travel at sensible speeds, leave plenty of room to stop or take evasive action, and know your route. Pedestrians should wear bright clothing, or attach reflective strips. They should cross at marked, preferably lit, crosswalks, and not jaywalk where drivers may not expect to suddenly see them. They should never take for granted that every driver can see them. Nobody enjoys going out on dark, rainy nights. But a little forethought will ensure you see the next morning’s dawn light.

Preserving a free country

omehow, for so many, Canada seemed beyond the reach, or even interest, of Islamic extremist terrorists.

We sat secure and perhaps just a little smug behind our porous borders, and offered sympathy and, in some cases, self-righteous judgment, as our U.S. neighbours writhed in shock and grief after a group of terrorists flew jet airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing thousands. We watched television reports of subway bombings in Britain and terrorist acts in France. We sent our soldiers to Afghanistan, where they fought alongside Americans to stem the fundamentalist Taliban tide. With detachment, we followed the civil war in Syria, and with varying degrees of understanding or disinterest, watched it birth an entity that matched and eclipsed the brutal violence of al-Qaeda, responsible for the 9/11 attack. Also driven by extremely twisted interpretations of their religion, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, poses the intensely dangerous threat of destabilizing

Andrew holota the entre Middle East, and exporting its extremist visions around the globe. The Harper government recently decided – and rightly so – to send Canadian F-18 combat aircraft to join the coalition currently bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria in a long-term attempt to blunt their advances and agendas. Through it all, most Canadians went about their daily business, some unaware, others simply unconcerned. This is Canada after all, home of the wonderfully free and mildly naive. And then a young man, apparently inspired by the online urgings of an Islamic fundamentalist recruiter, “martyred” himself by driving his car at two Canadian soldiers

on a street in Quebec, killing one of them. The assailant was later slain by police. Two days later, the shock waves went to the core of the country from coast to coast, as a gunman fatally shot a soldier standing sentry at the National War Memorial near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The assailant then went into the Parliament buildings, where multiple shots were fired, and he was eventually gunned down by the sergeant-at-arms. Early indications are that he too was a subject of extremist Islamic indoctrination. He chose, or perhaps was instructed, to strike at one of the most prominent symbols of Canadian identity. We can consider Canada to be on the list of nations of nonbelievers in the twisted minds of those who mangle their faith in justification of atrocious acts of violence and attempted dominance. How terribly ironic that the soldiers who died in these incidents joined the forces to protect the very freedoms that are being abused by terrorists

who live in this country, believe as they wish, and teach their evil in gatherings and via the Internet and social media. That’s the truly unsettling factor in this. These individuals did not arrive in this country mere days or even months ago, foreign imported killers bent on violence. They grew up in our cities and towns. They may have received their indoctrination in the country, or from online sources from anywhere in the world. Regardless, Canada has homegrown terrorists. How many more are out there? Canadian laws don’t permit law enforcers to arrest and detain for an indeterminate time anyone who merely talks about religious extremism, or even openly supports it. This is, after all, a free country. Now the acutely difficult challenge is to preserve it, from within.

COMMENT

Only the fringe unhappy with BCA Re: A chance to make Burnaby a better place (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 24) Is it my imagination or did Trans Mountain Pipeline (owned by Kinder Morgan), along with two contractors not plead guilty to polluting Burnaby with oil? I don’t recall the City of Burnaby being found guilty of anything. As I recall, Trans Mountain Pipeline provided old maps that did not accurately represent the location of the pipeline. Insinuating that the City of Burnaby, who hired the contractors, may be culpable is misleading and not correct. The mayor, the current council and school board have done an exemplary job over the years. This is why they have won every election overwhelmingly. It seems that the majority of voters has found them extremely satisfying. It’s only the fringe element that does not. Lou Kaiser Burnaby

STILL SEEKING ANSWERS

SOME HYPOCRISY AT PLAY Re: Pipeline surveyors ushered off mountain (NewsLeader, Nov. 5) This article about “pipeline protesters” was accompanied by some interesting pictures. I have a question or two for the selfrighteous looking man who sported a placard calling our democratically elected leader a “whore.” For example, where does he get that sense of entitlement? Or what does he think his waterproof windbreaker was made with? (No, it definitely doesn’t look like linen.) By the way, the same question could be directed to other protesters against the oil pipeline. Including some wonderment about how did they get there—all walked up or cycled there? What was the fellow who “protested” by picturesquely arranging himself underneath the truck of working men try to tell the world? Michal Adler Burnaby

On Sept. 30 I asked Burnaby city council why Burnaby’s taxes were higher than Vancouver’s on similar-assessed residences. I provided them with a detailed comparison on a $700,000 residence to prove my point. The difference was almost $400. Using the same rates, the difference on a $250,000 condo was $124, and $541 on a million-dollar home. The best city hall could come up with was a comparison of averages, which did not explain the actual differences. The problem is in the tax rates and Vancouver’s tax rate and sewer tax is considerably lower than Burnaby’s. In a follow up letter I asked city hall why the sewer tax was so much higher and why Burnaby did not allow assessment averaging like Vancouver does.

In past years, assessment averaging could have significantly reduced the tax burden for many taxpayers. To date I have not received a reply to these two questions. Wayne Lutz Burnaby

WHO’S IN CHARGE? The day before the early October Throne Speech the CEO of Malaysian energy giant Petronas, Shamsul Azhar, swooped into B.C. to publicly warn that the proposed $11 billion LNG plant in Prince Rupert would be postponed for up to 15 years if a number of regulatory matters, including a

new LNG tax, were not resolved before month’s end. It was quite clear the objective was to bully the BC Liberals into backing away from the seven per cent tax it had proposed back in February. And he succeeded. Less than three weeks later we were told the tax would be reduced by half to 3.5 per cent. Did Mr. Azhar say thank you? Not at all. Instead, we were told Petronas would take it under advisement until other unresolved matters were dealt with. Then last week came the news that LNG minister Rich Coleman is off to Malaysia on Nov. 11 to meet with the Petronas board of directors. More concessions, you think? Let’s hope not. Still, I’d sure feel a lot less anxious if he attended his constituency’s Remembrance Day event instead. Bill Brassington Burnaby

THINK SAFETY

The City of Burnaby’s decision to create a linear park on the east side of Willingdon Avenue between Lougheed and Hastings Street raises a number of safety concerns. The proposal includes a provision for a bicycle route and a pedestrian path. Given the conflict between bikers and pedestrians in areas such as Stanley Park, one hopes that adequate safety measures are in place when the Willingdon linear park is constructed. Further, and most importantly, ultra safety measures must be in place to ensure that pedestrians, especially children, do not fall foul to a traffic hazard along the busy Willingdon Avenue corridor. This may well require the installation of a barrier, such as a steel fence similar to the type installed near several Burnaby schools. Mike Horton Burnaby

Derek Corrigan

Party affiliation (or Independent) Independent Profession Psychologist and researcher Political Experience/Community Involvement CHaNG I was elected as a school trustee in 2005 with Team Burnaby. I ran as a MLA candidate of Green Party of B.C. in 2009. I ran as an independent school trustee candidate in 2008 and as a Burnaby Green school trustee candidate in 2011. I have been serving as a director of Burnaby Multicultural Society from 2009 to 2014 and served as a director of Korean Society in 2005 to 2006. I volunteered as a member of Advisory Committee of Unification of South Korea from 2008 to 2010. I have been organizing multicultural forums from 2011 to 2014 and tabled a petition drive in Parliament in 2011 that requested Canadian government install a hate crime statistics act. Why are you running? I am running because I am fed up with the city government’s inaction. From 2007, I have presented cases of hate crime and organized crime in Burnaby, but there has been no action. One example was a hate crime brochure circulated in South Burnaby in or around 1998. There has been no follow-up of this case by the authorities. Since 2005, I have been investigating cases of hate crime and organized crime committed against immigrants. In the worst case, predators have successfully stolen the legal identity of their victims. They registered their name in the land title of their victim and run a human trafficking business. I will restore principles of transparency and accountability by making by-laws that would protect innocent victims from these criminals. What are the key issues? Transparency and accountability, organized crime and safety, inclusiveness and education.

Party affiliation (or Independent) BCA-Burnaby Citizens Association Profession Mayor and Lawyer Political Experience/Community Involvement COrrIGaN I served for four years as an elected director of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and I currently serve as a trustee of the Municipal Finance Authority of B.C. On an international level, I have been an active supporter of the Mayors for Peace. Chair of Metro Vancouver Regional Planning committee. Elected for 27 years, 15 years as a council member and 12 as mayor. Why are you running? I am running because I have a great deal of work to complete. The environmental strategy will be in final preparation, the town centre plans are in mid-development, the new community projects are heading for consultation and there are numerous big issues at Metro Vancouver that require an experienced hand to look after Burnaby’s interests. And, of course, we are in the middle of protracted NEB hearings on the Kinder Morgan expansion project. Most importantly, I am still passionate about the job and about how I can help make our city even better. What are the key issues? Transportation and traffic is very important to our citizens because they are affected by it every day by people driving in from the valley. We want to create jobs in our community so our citizens have more opportunity for employment. We want them to have well-paying family supporting jobs. Our community is opposed to the pipeline and has made it very clear that they want their council to take a strong stand on this.

Party affiliation (or Independent) Independent Profession Paper Delivery Personnel GUNG Political Experience/Community Involvement Letter writing to government. Participating in election campaign. Why are you running? I am running to help citizens, re-focus city works which is always developing something bottomless. A strong and healthy social and political environment out of well balanced education and cleared of corruption is necessary. Without such, all the development plans are futile and destructive, let alone be sustainable. Especially when the “government” of Burnaby is based on discrimination, such as NDP only it’s a Banana Republic, it’s been deteriorating. Decades of same brain running made all kinds of “mis-” words and intentional mistakes as well, like breaking eggs, all those add up to weaken the efforts. It’s no wonder Burnaby has been deteriorating with more mental illnesses and homelessnesses. It’s been said that Burnaby is second in the numbers of mental ill, after Surrey. Shame on Burnaby. As a well settled city, it should have been doing better. What are the key issues? Keeping the prices of goods and services affordable for the poor, clearing corruption, and balancing education.

Chamber of Commerce; Board Member Bosco Society; Founding DirectorPresident-ED - Love and Mercy Benevolent Society Why are you running? I am running to give people in Burnaby democratic choice and representation—a true voice that they haven’t had for a long time. We are a party of independent thinkers, coming together to represent everyone equally, regardless of political affiliations or background. I’m hoping to engage the disaffected, youth, and those who have never before participated in a local election because they feel their vote does not matter. A new party with a completely new platform is a new beginning, something to give people hope and choice and change—a better future for all. It is my hope that we have given residents enough incentive to actually vote Nov. 15, so we do not get an “F” for governance because of extremely low voter turnout in Burnaby. What are the key issues? Taxes, government waste, transparency, democratic choice, lack of consultation, affordable housing Twitter: @burnabyfirst Facebook: facebook.com/burnabyfirst Website: www.burnabyfirst.ca

Why are you running? I believe I have the skill set and experience to rebuild relationships that were damaged during the strike/lockout. We need to let teachers, support staff and exempt staff know that all are important in delivering a top-tier education experience for students.

HEATHER LEUNG

Party affiliation (or Independent) Independent Profession University student Political Experience/ ISHAK Community Involvement I am a young man who understands politics, the manipulation and the propaganda, but I have not yet had any formal political experience. On the other hand, I speak truth to power, and, though many of my views are admittedly controversial, more and more people are expressing a similar dissatisfaction with modern schooling, so I anticipate that I might very well begin my political experience come November 15. Why are you running? A dislike of school and learning is now widespread. This must change. The architects of modern schooling have not been genuine educators, but ideologists. I should like to protect the students and teachers of Burnaby from their machinations insofar as my office would allow. Incumbent candidates have not been willing to do so. What are the key issues? Our conception of education has been overturned. The modern school, to which, by compulsion laws, the young are bound, is now very little more than a tyranny over the mind.

Party affiliation BCA-Burnaby Citizens Profession PANDHER Teacher Political Experience/ Community Involvement Burnaby School Trustee (elected 2011) Director on the Board of the New Vista Society (providing affordable housing and care for seniors) Why are you running? I’m running for re-election because I care passionately about two things: public education and Burnaby. I’m a product of the quality public education provided by the Burnaby School District (2nd Street Community School and Cariboo Hill Secondary), and I’m currently employed as a public school teacher in Surrey. I also firmly believe that one should give back to their community. With my background, I feel well-equipped to speak to the critical issues that Boards of Education are currently facing around the province. And as a lifelong Burnaby resident, there’s no other community that I’d rather give my time to and raise my voice for. What are the key issues? Who is best positioned to guide the Burnaby School District through these times of fiscal uncertainty? Who will best represent the values and priorities of Burnaby residents? Who will hold the provincial government’s feet to the fire to ensure Burnaby schools and students get their fair share of education spending in BC?

Burnaby First Coalition Profession Occupational Therapist LEUNG Political Experience/ Community Involvement Member: School Board Watch, Burnaby Optimist Club Public speaker: Falls prevention, joint protection Why are you running? About 7,000 aged 5 through 18 Burnaby students are not enrolled in local public schools. Meanwhile, the district is facing a 3-year budget deficit: $3.2 million for 2014/2015, projected a $4.5 million cut for 2015/16, and anticipates another $1.65 million cut to balance the 2016/17 budget. This “red ink” means inevitable layoffs and program cuts. BFC recognized this threat to Burnaby public education. Unlike our opposition, my fellow BFC candidates and I believe that we can do more than complain about the province imposing quality-eroding budgetcuts on the District. BFC launched a petition reaching out to non-enrolling parents. We believe that these parents would listen if the next set of elected Trustees started a dialogue with them, to explore what changes in programs, policies, or practices would encourage them to select district schools. I believe that creatively seeking more revenue will better serve students and staff. What are the key issues? Why 7,000 Burnaby children are not enrolled in Burnaby public school?

Member - Trustee Board of New Vista Society. Why are you running? Today, more than ever before, public schools need strong, dedicated and experienced trustees to champion quality education for all learners. Students deserve to have their learning needs met in a timely manner which requires resources including adequate funding. We expect trustees to be fiscally responsible. Their role as co-governors in Education demands that they provide exemplary leadership and ensure quality education in all schools. I have been a trustee for six years, serving two as vice chair and two as chair. I helped introduce policy 5.45 that ensures safety for all students and staff. I am passionate about bringing AP Capstone to Burnaby, a university credited program that provides enormous opportunities for students to excel. I have the experience required to advocate for a dynamic school system that is inclusive and embraces diversity. What are the key issues? Inadequate funding for public education.

Car sharing gains traction Jeff Nagel Black Press

Car sharing has been slow to pick up speed outside the City of Vancouver but a new study suggests the trend is starting to get more traction, particularly in urban areas of Richmond, Surrey and the North Shore. The Metro Vancouver study found 87 per cent of car share service users surveyed live in Vancouver, where the high population density, frequent transit, challenging parking and mix of stores, offices and homes makes it more viable and attractive for many residents to

opt out of owning a car. But it notes the big operators like Modo and Car2go are expanding to sites in walking distance of existing SkyTrain stations such as Surrey Central, Canada Line Stations in Richmond and areas like Patterson and Metrotown stations in Burnaby and 22nd Street or Columbia station in New Westminster. Key trends driving the potential growth in shared cars is the fact most new housing units being built in the region are apartments, as well as the emergence of TransLink’s

The report also cites waning interest in car ownership among younger generations, some of whom forgo a car to better afford a home.

Burnaby First complains of errant election signs But ‘signs’ on city bus shelters and bike racks are paid ads Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A Burnaby First Coalition candidate is accusing the ruling city party of violating its own election sign bylaws. Helen Ward, a council candidate for the new party, complained to city hall of seeing Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) signs on city property, which is a no-no. But she was most concerned at seeing what she considered BCA “signs” on city-

owned infrastructure, such as bus shelters, bike racks and recycling containers. “The BCA created this bylaw and they’re violating it,” she said. “Let’s not be hypocritical.” Incumbent Coun. Sav Dhaliwal of the BCA said what Ward is referring to is not signage but paid advertising which is not covered by the bylaw on election signs. While the bus shelters and the like are owned by the city, a third-party company manages the sale of advertising on them. The revenue they generate is shared between the company

and city hall, Dhaliwal explained. Anyone can buy that ad space, he noted. “Burnaby First can do the same thing if they want to.” In the first two weeks of the election campaign, Burnaby city hall received two complaints about violations of the election sign bylaw, each regarding multiple locations, said Doug Louie, assistant director of engineering. Louie said candidates or the head offices of the political party involved are notified of the regulations and asked to rectify the problem. After that, any future

ALL OUR POPULAR SPECIALS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH NOVEMBER!

complaints about the same candidates result in city engineering crews removing the errant signs. Violations are dealt with on a complaint basis, Louie said, and an effort is made to educate people on where signs are allowed. He noted that many people aren’t sure exactly where their property ends and where city lands begin. Louie confirmed that the bylaw does not apply to ads on bus shelters and the like. Anyone with a complaint about election signs on city property can call 604294-7460.

City finances questioned by party ⫸

from front page

He questioned why taxpayers pay for city councillors’ expenses such as Internet and cellphone service and car allowances. He also noted that council salaries went up by 22 per cent between 2011 and 2013. In 2013 the salary was over $55,000 for what is supposed to be a part-time position. And, he said, the salary for a city councillor in Burnaby’s sister city of Mesa, Arizona is only $16,000 US. Even after the exchange rate and other factors, it’s an “outrageous difference.” Incumbent Coun. Dan Johnston of the Burnaby Citizens Association said Hartney is “not comparing apples to apples.” Mesa councillors only meet once a month and have less of a workload as they have a ward system. As for the pay raise, council salaries went up by 20 per cent in 2012 after a new formula was created to calculate them. Between 2012 and 2013 the increase was 1.8 per cent. Johnston said the citizen committee that developed it included

representatives from Vancity, the Burnaby Board of Trade and a local business, the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown. According to a NewsLeader story from 2011, the change was made because the previous formula left Burnaby council salaries below the median of those in its peer group— Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam and Delta. The mayor’s salary is now calculated as a median of those cities’ mayors salaries with council receiving 45 per cent of what the mayor gets. Four indicies, such as the Consumer Price Index Increase for Vancouver, are also applied to those figures. Johnston, a senior accountant at the B.C. Teachers Federation, is chair of Burnaby’s finance committee. He said he doesn’t personally receive city funding for his Internet service. But in the past some councillors didn’t use Internet and it’s becoming increasingly necessary as city hall tries to reduce its paper use. As for the free parks and rec services, it’s

a program that goes back to the 1950s and is available to councillors, parks commissioners and library board members. The latter two groups are unpaid volunteers, so it’s a perk to make up for that. The number of people eligible for the program was scaled back about 20 years ago, Johnston said. It’s meant to allow city officials to see how such facilities operate. And for people such as Mayor Derek Corrigan, it’s a way to engage in meetings with other Metro Vancouver officials and visiting dignitaries. Johnston said he doesn’t golf himself and instead uses the pass at city swimming pools. He pointed out one extra person in the pool doesn’t add any

additional cost. As for the city’s budgeting system, he said city staff know what the actual spending was the year before when they’re planning the budget. Department staff and managers all have to justify expenses to the budget committee and city council. When asked about the projected deficit in the golf services division, Burnaby’s parks and recreation director Dave Ellenwood said there is no deficit. Rather, the expenditures in the 2014 budget includes $255,000 of capital works being funded from the city’s surplus from the previous year. Such work only gets done if there is surplus money, he noted.

Knights foil Panthers The St. Thomas More Knights finished off the regular season in second spot in the AAA B.C. high school football’s Eastern Conference. The Knights downed the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 33-14 in Surrey last Friday to secure a 6-1 conference record. The only loss the No. 3-ranked Knights suffered was to No. 1 Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam. STM quarterback Terrell Jana rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns. He also passed for 131 yards and connected on TD tosses to J.J. Deslauriers and Matt Duda. Running back Andrew Flett

also scored a TD and had 67 yards rushing. On defence, linebacker Spencer Moore racked up 10 tackles and a quarterback sack. Duda had seven tackles and recovered two fumbles. Demarius Henderson had six tackles and a sack. The Knights are off this weekend. They await the final week’s results before finding out who they will go up against first in the provincial playoffs. • Surrey’s Frank Hurt Hornets defeated the Moscrop Panthers 7-0 in AA varsity action last Thursday. With the loss, Moscrop finished 0-4 in Southern Conference play this season.

University of Fraser Valley Cascades goalkeeper Kayla Klim of Burnaby was honoured for her impact on the field, in the campus and beyond prior to the Canada West women’s soccer final four tournament in Langley last weekend. The generous, communityminded Klim, currently in her third year with the Cascades, serves as a resident assistant at UFV’s Baker House. Her responsibilities include, KLIM among other things, helping international students feel at home and get connected socially at the university. Klim is also active in various cancer fundraising initiatives. On Oct. 9, she was one of the driving forces behind the “Brave the Shave” fundraiser on campus in support of the Canadian Cancer Foundation. Klim has had several family members impacted by cancer, and to show her support, she raised pledges and then shaved her head and donated her long, blond locks to make wigs for chemotherapy patients. “She has a leadership role in our residence, connecting international students to the local community. She raised over $3,000 for cancer research and donated her hair to cancer patients. And on top of being an outstanding goalkeeper and a great competitor, she’s a really positive force on our team,” UFC head coach Rob Giesbrecht said. The Cascades lost the final 2-1 to Trinity Western University. The Spartans had Burnaby help too with Lindsey Pulice, Isabella Di Trocchio and Canada West rookie of the year Seina Kashima. Both teams advanced to the Canadian championships this week in Quebec City. Quarter-final play begins Thursday with UFV taking on Memorial University from St. John’s, Nfld, and Trinity Western tangling with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology from Oshawa.
