Looking to improve on the 23 per cent voter turnout in 2011, Burnaby city hall has made it easier to cast ballots this time around. Election day is Saturday, Nov. 15, and people can vote between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Unlike in the past, this time voters can cast ballots at any of Burnaby’s 35 voting locations. On Nov 15

Re-elect

Registered voters should bring their voter cards or if they don’t have one, make sure to bring two pieces of identification, including something with your address and signature. To be eligible, people must be 18 years old, Canadian citizens, residents of B.C. for at least six months before election day (as of May 13, 2014) and residents of Burnaby for at least 30 days

beforehand (as of Oct. 15, 2014), and not disqualified from voting by any statute or law. This election, the incumbent Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) will attempt a hat trick—a third straight sweep of all seats for mayor, council and school board. That would include a fifthstraight term as mayor for Derek Corrigan, who has served on

council since 1987. In the other corner is the Burnaby First Coalition (BFC), an anyonebut-the-BCA group including former candidates of Team Burnaby and Burnaby Parents Voice. The BFC’s mayoral candidate is Daren Hancott, a businessman who earlier this year was trying to secure the federal Conservative nomination for the new riding of Burnaby North-Seymour.

The master plan for redevelopment of the former Safeway distribution centre site in South Burnaby has received approval in principle from city council. Dubbed “Southgate,” the community is being proposed for the 48-acre site bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, the dairy plant and two city-owned properties at 7701 and 7679 18th St. Council’s approval was only for the concept plan, stressed Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of Burnaby’s community development committee, in an interview. As with the Brentwood mall redevelopment, each phase of the project will be presented in detail to city council and require rezoning approval. Owner and developer Ledingham McAllister proposes a variety of housing types, including up to 20 towers ranging in height from 19 to 46 storeys. Please see ProjeCT, A4

Pipeline firm braces for major conflict with protesters Jeff Nagel Black Press

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson appealed for calm Wednesday ahead of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on the company’s requested injunction to clear protesters who are blocking survey crews on Burnaby Mountain. The company wants

to drill test holes to determine if it can viably tunnel through the mountain rather than run its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project through an existing Burnaby neighbourhood. “I’m just hoping we can see our way through this reasonably, calmly

and fairly,” he civil disobedience told reporters, and intimidation” acknowledging and denied the dispute accusations threatens to the company become a major has tried to protest that intimidate requires police protesters action.

including agreement of the B.C. government on acceptable safety standards and benefits for First Nations and the province. Anderson said 16 First Nations have so far signed support agreements. Kinder Morgan has not yet responded in detail to a new SFU study that estimates of project benefits are much lower than the company claims and that the worst case spill scenario would consume billions of dollars, not $100 to $300 million. “Clearly the SFU study has used a different set of assumptions than what our work has,” Anderson said, adding he expects the issue to be examined more fully in upcoming National Energy Board hearings. “We think what we have done is fair and reasonable and in many respects conservative.” He said the company has steadily improved the oil pipeline project in part by listening carefully to its detractors. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Anderson said photos of snarling protesters that were submitted to court – and that have now spawned a social media protest with opponents making similar faces – were to record the intimidation tactics being used. Opponents hope direct action in Burnaby can block the $5.4-billion project, which would triple Trans Mountain’s flow of oil through B.C. and greatly increase the number of oil tankers it loads. Anderson said there’s no change in the planned opening date of late 2018. Nor, he said, has the company considered switching to a new terminal in Delta or Washington State, an option Burnaby politicians have suggested. The project faces other legal and political challenges,

Public education not in crisis says board incumbent Mario Bartel

photo@burnabynewsleader.com

Last summer’s protracted labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government highlighted an important fissure in British Columbia’s education system. As students and their parents in the province’s public schools cooled their heels waiting for a negotiated settlement to reopen schools, it was class as usual in private schools. Frustration over class time lost to seemingly all-too-frequent strikes and lockouts has led some

parents to consider the private option. But Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) school board candidate Larry Hayes says parents shouldn’t rush to judgment. He says public education has much to offer. “Our students are being provided with a wealth of choices and opportunities that meet the vast majority of needs,” says Hayes, who’s seeking reelection in the Nov. 15 municipal election. He says the perceived problems with public education are

rooted in a lack of support from the provincial government. “We are constantly faced with decisions and comments from a provincial government who say that they value public education but do their best to undermine the system and create a sense of

despair with the public,” says Hayes. But Janice Beecroft, a school trustee candidate with the Burnaby First Coalition (BFC), says the blame game isn’t constructive. “By simply blaming the government or the teachers union, we stop looking for ways to support both of our assets, teachers and students,” says Beecroft. “We need to look for solutions, and that can come from within our own district.” She says that process could

start by looking at what is attracting some families to private education. “(By) addressing those issues and making possible changes in our public schools, we can regain the confidence of parents,” says Beecroft. Ben Seebaran, another BFC candidate, says parents need to be given more of a say in their children’s education. “It is the parent and not school personnel who have the ultimate authority over the child’s education,” says Seebaran.

Project to include park, small lake ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

At its heart will be a fiveacre park with a small lake and meandering stream. The two city-owned parcels on 18th Street would serve as a connection to the City in the Park neighbourhood and the Edmonds SkyTrain station. Jordan said the city’s guidelines suggest up to 10 per cent of the overall project should be non-market housing. But how much of that will get built will depend on participation from senior governments. “This translates to approximately 588,365 sq. ft. of gross floor area reserved

for the development of alternative housing only,” said a city planning report. The number of units and unit types “is dependent on senior government and housing providers’ use of the available density.” As for concerns raised at the public hearing about the highdensity nature of the plan, the report said, the plan includes a mix of highrises, mid and lowrise apartment buildings and townhouses. This mix, as opposed to only low-rises that would take up more room, allows about 40 per cent of the site to be allocated for public open spaces, including the five-acre

park which will benefit the wider Edmonds community, the report said. The Safeway milk plant on the site was sold over the summer to Agropur Cooperative of Quebec which plans to continue operating it. Ledingham McAllister president and CEO Ward McAllister said in an earlier interview that when the milk plant eventually moves, the developer has first dibs on buying the property, which is already incorporated into the master plan. It will likely take about 20 years to build out the Southgate community, he said at the time.

New prez in Heights Paul Lowey of Gloo Studios is the new president of the Heights Merchants Association after the new board of directors was elected recently.

parents that they can’t be engaged.” Beecroft says students also need to be better engaged by their teachers. “We need the teachers to be on board,” says Beecroft. She suggests the school board rebuild the morale of teachers and staff after years of divisive labour disputes and funding challenges. “By focusing on education and how to educate, critical thinking and engagement of students, we will see change,” she says.

Hayes says parents have plenty of opportunities to become engaged in the education system with parent advisory councils at each school and district-wide, as well as school planning councils. “For those parents who can’t commit to these types of engagement, we encourage all our principals to have creative ways of letting parents communicate their ideas and concerns,” says Hayes. “There should be no reason for

Prop house calls it a wrap after 38 years Mario Bartel

photo@burnabynewsleader.com

Paul Pincott is calling it a wrap after 38 years of supplying decorative knick-knacks and furniture to movie, TV and theatre productions. Pincott is closing his Can Am Importique prop warehouse in the Lake City Way area. Burnaby’s King of Kitsch is retiring. Although he’d rather not. Pincott, 70, said the cyclical nature of the B.C. film industry finally caught up to him. Films and TV shows are going to areas that offer better tax incentives. More productions are using digital effects and green screens so there’s not as much demand for many of the retro items that fill his 24,000-square-foot warehouse to the rafters. He tried to find a subtenant to ease some of the financial pressure, but that didn’t work out. So on Nov. 20 and 21, Able Auctions will bring the gavel down on the eclectic assemblage of thousands of props that have helped decorate more than 2,000 productions.

Those props include everything from a life-size purple elephant to a giant birdcage, a sphinx, pirate mannequins, Elvis statues, styrofoam sharks of various sizes and breeds, plush monkeys, plastic hinds of beef and two massive oil paintings of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that were used in the upcoming Seth Rogen comedy The Interview, that was filmed in the Lower Mainland. Pincott said he acquired most of the unique items from film and TV productions, essentially becoming a way station for the industry until another designer came along looking for that unique item or piece of furniture to decorate their set. “They want to keep it in the system,” said Pincott. “A lot of these things would be very difficult for them to replicate.” Pincott said no item was too weird to never catch the eye of set decorators, who wander up and down the cluttered aisles of the expansive warehouse, clipboards in hand and chequebooks in their back pockets.

“You just never know,” said Pincott. Some items are sold to bars and restaurants. That occasionally puts Pincott in the odd position of having to rent them back if they’re suddenly required for a movie or TV shoot.He said it’s been tough to stand by as crews from the auction house take inventory and tag items in preparation for their sale. “It’s troublesome for me, “ said Pincott. “It’s impossible to replace the majority of this stuff.” Pincott said he’ll hang on to some of the items to honour commitments he’s already made to set designers, and possibly as a base to rebuild his business after he takes a break to recharge. “It’s a chance to purchase a bit of history,” said Pincott of the upcoming sale. • Able Auctions will hold a preview at the Can Am warehouse, 3188 Thunderbird Cr., on Wed., Nov. 19, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. The auction will also be held there, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 20 and 21.

Nothing for granted The forums may be over, but the campaigns are in overdrive as the civic elections conclude the all-important final week. Voters seemed to be interested, judging by turnouts at allcandidates meetings, signs planted on lawns all over town. Hopefully that will result in increased voter turnout on Nov. 15. Remember, you’re now voting in councillors and trustees for four-year terms, a 25-per-cent increase over previous elections. Hopefully voters are beginning to realize how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives. What happens at city hall or the regional district office or the school board office directly affects you and your neighbour. Their decisions will affect your quality of life, the traffic you have to endure getting around town, the parks your kids play in, the education they get at school. They’ll also impact the amount of property taxes you pay, the number of coins you have to plug into parking meters, the fees you’ll pay to access municipal services. We encourage everyone to get as informed as possible about the candidates pursuing these positions: and above all, exercise your right to vote. The NewsLeader has endeavoured to cover as many local election issues as possible. We also ran profiles of all the candidates in recent issues. It’s fitting that we all get to exercise our democratic right just a few days after we paid our respects to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we too often take for granted. We hope everyone wore a poppy and attended Remembrance Day services, Tuesday, to honour our veterans, and that as many as possible follow through and do the right thing on Saturday by exercising the hard-fought right to participate in a democracy. —Black Press

Time to act in a kinder way It seems to me that Kinder Morgan should consider hiring a new public relations firm, because right now its image in relation to the twinning and expansion of its pipeline through B.C. is less than stellar. Cutting trees in a Burnaby park was not the way to engender support or convert opponents, nor is its refusal to answer many questions posed during the current National Energy Board hearings. The proposed pipeline expansion, routed mostly on KM’s existing right-of-way, will go through countless neighbourhoods on the Lower Mainland. People want to be assured their backyards will look tomorrow the way they do today. They want to know that the possibility of leaks and spills is miniscule. Of course, there are also the protestors and opponents who believe shipping more oil is criminal, and that the world should be concentrating on the development of alternative energy sources.

Mark Rushton Geothermal would be nice. Wind and water currents also have great potential. The problem at the moment is that our society and our economy, currently and for the foreseeable future, is based on the use of oil-based products. Oil and its derivatives power our vehicles, keep aviation aloft, create the fertilizers that grow our food, provide materials for clothing and the essential ingredient in most of the products we all use on a daily basis. The world, or a least the people who populate it, keeps expanding and with that comes the demand for more oil. If the Chevron refinery in Burnaby, or the big one at Cherry Point stopped producing, the Lower Mainland would quickly grind to a halt. Kinder Morgan’s plan however,

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

is not to increase flow to either of these facilities, but to export the Alberta bitumen via tanker to distant refineries. And those export plans are what seem to be driving the belief of Kinder Morgan that what it wants to do is in the best interest of Canada, and therefore will be approved regardless of what it does, or doesn’t do, to quell people’s concerns. In other words, the federal government wants to sell Canada’s oil and Kinder Morgan is going to make it happen regardless of the objections, real or imagined. Not the way to get a project accomplished because, like most everything else that occurs, it should be done in a goodneighbourly way. And that is why KM needs to look inwardly, change its tactics and listen and respond to the concerns people are voicing. That is respectful, and needs to be shown to those who want their voices heard. The reality, and I am certain the eventuality, is that the dil-bit

will flow. Unlike the Enbridge proposal in Northern B.C., Kinder Morgan’s new line will be on a right-of-way that already exists, through pumping and delivery systems that are already in place. For the most part, when the project is completed few will remember it’s even there, except of course those who are monitoring the increased tanker traffic through Vancouver’s harbour. Thus, if Kinder Morgan is so sure that its project will be approved by the National Energy Board and the federal government, why not be nice about it? Why not make every effort to ameliorate concerns? Taking a highhanded approach only alienates people, results in lengthy and costly delays and, I believe in this case, merely prolongs the inevitable. Time for the company to adopt a policy of being both ‘nice’ and forthright. We, supporters and objectors alike, deserve that. Mark Rushton is a weekly columnist for the Abbotsford News

COMMENT

Case for BCA unconvincing Re: A good opposition needs to have vision (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 31) Mr. Myles appears to be more than happy with how Mayor Corrigan and the Burnaby Citizens Association are running Burnaby, but I fail to find his reasons convincing. First let’s deal with the BCA’s well worn “Best managed city in Canada” award. A study done once, in 2009. And while it was an excellent achievement at the time, it was five years ago. Burnaby has changed a lot since then. And the fact the study was never repeated says a lot. So instead of dwelling on an outdated report, let’s look at a more recent study, Moneysense’s “Canada’s Best Places to Live 2014.” Burnaby is ranked 102. And if you look at where other local municipalities are ranked like Coquitlam at 84, Port Moody at 65, Richmond at 61, Delta at 48, and Vancouver at 39 one has to wonder why Burnaby is rated so much lower in comparison. So while Mr.

Myles defies people to list a single municipality that’s doing a better job than Burnaby, this study shows there are 101 of them. As for the lower tax rate in Burnaby, it’s not surprising given that Mayor Corrigan appears to outright refuse to build infrastructure in our city. By the city’s own admission they are falling well behind on this, and yet council continues to push higher densities. Just look at how many areas of Burnaby are lacking basic amenities such as sidewalks. Tax rates are low because serviceslevels in Burnaby are equally as low. On top of that, BCA’s own policies have made it prohibitively expensive for neighbourhoods to get infrastructure improvements. Property owners have to pay a large amount to have infrastructure installed, and then the city charges interest on that installation, which is effectively another tax. So sidewalks will never get installed

in neighbourhoods, as it is simply too expensive for most homeowners to afford. Without a doubt the weakest point of Mr. Myles’ argument is his statement that our city provides “all the necessary services to address the needs of those less fortunate.” Apparently that does not include providing shelter to those without homes. And that is a pretty glaring omission, Mr. Myles. Burnaby continues to be the only city in the Lower Mainland to not have homeless shelters and even in the mayor’s latest response to homelessness, it’s just more of the same old song and dance. Yes, homelessness is a complex matter, but you need to start somewhere and a safe dry place to sleep is an excellent place to start. Keith Bemister Burnaby

Burnaby’s taste of Belgium Ben Coli is finally getting the chance to meet his customers. The Burnaby brewer has been bottling his Dageraad Belgianstyle craft beer and distributing it to pubs and liquor stores since the spring. And now, he’s just opened a small tasting room at the front of his Thunderbird Crescent location. The tasting room will give customers a chance to test his

latest batches of beer straight from the tap, including its exclusive Burnabarian, as well as fill their glass growlers to take the beer home. It’s also the only place to get all the brewer’s current beers in bottles. “It’s nice to see the faces and watch them taste the beer for the first time,” said Coli, who started his brewery after falling in love with Belgian beers when he spent time in Antwerp.

That one-on-one interaction between brewer and customer has been one of the factors fuelling the boom in small craft breweries in British Columbia, said Coli. “We’re able to show people the brewery and talk about the beer,” he said. Dageraad Brewery is located at 114-3191 Thunderbird Cr. For more information go to www.dageraadbrewing.com

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload.

The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And vice versa. And as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of nine of us were vacationing together. Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy.

The great thing is, even when you encounter some traffic on a Hawaiian highway, the beach is never too far away.

Maui driving

Yes, there’s one on Maui and it’s probably not what you would have expected. Owner of Kaanapali Car Care, Bill Throckmorton, had his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on the hoist. With a small block Chevy inside that produces upwards of 400 horsepower, this vehicle meant business. Dirty business. From March to October, those looking for some wholesome family fun (and maybe some tailgating, whatever you interpret that to be!) are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants. It takes place at the appropriately named “Paradise Speedway Maui.” Here’s the website in case you’re as curious as I am (http://www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-ofseason event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered. It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. It’s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind. There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples hand-in-hand and many modes of transportation intermingling. Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the “Great Streets.” Not every street can be great. They have guidelines. The visit was all too short and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and you’re stuck in the back seat of a car? Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach, holding a (virgin) piña colada. You’re lying on your towel with your eyes closed, let the crashing waves penetrate your ears. Then picture yourself driving your fastest lap at the Nürburgring. Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so. “You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
