The discovery of a drug lab on 10th Avenue a few weeks ago, and an industrial-sized medicinal marijuana grow operation on Thorne Avenue have just raised the anxiety level for residents further. In addition to the industrial grow-op, which may be legal, there are plenty more that are not, Mesich said.

Their chants expended, a small group of protestors from the anti-poverty advocacy group ACORN tucked their placards under their arms on Tuesday and strolled from in front of a Cash Money payday loan outlet at Kingsway and Griffiths to a Money Mart 200 metres east. Which was just the reason for their ire. Monica McGovern, the chairperson of ACORN’s Burnaby chapter, said there’s too many short-term lending establishments too close to each other in the city. That makes it too easy for low-income people who may not use conventional banks to access expensive loans. Eventually they’re snowed under by their obligations to the lenders, further miring them in poverty, said McGovern. “This is the poor they’re exploiting,” said McGovern. “They set people up for failure.” The Cash Money outlet where ACORN members protested opened on Jan. 14. But with another payday lender close by already, McGovern said it’s time the City of Burnaby start limiting the licences for such establishments. Please see PAYDAY, A5

Protest encampments dismantled Mario Bartel

photo@burnabynewsleader.com

Two encampments set up by anti-pipeline protesters earlier this month near Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Terminal have been dismantled. The protesters, who call themselves Burnaby Mountain Caretakers, announced on their Facebook page that City of Burnaby workers and RCMP rousted them from their tents outside the Westridge Terminal gate on Bayview Drive and along the Drummond Trail early Wednesday morning. They

were there to enforce a bylaw infraction notice that had been posted at the sites two weeks ago. The camps were erected after protesters dismantled their location on Burnaby Mountain on Dec. 30 that they’d maintained since August. That encampment became the focal point of more than a week of confrontations with police in November after protesters were served with an injunction to prevent them from interfering with Kinder Morgan crews conducting survey work on

the mountain. More than 120 protesters were arrested. But Staff Sgt. Major John Buis of the Burnaby RCMP said Wednesday’s operation to close the encampments was peaceful. Officers were on hand to assist City of Burnaby workers. “We were there to keep the peace,” said Buis, who added it’s not unusual for police to help city staff enforce bylaws. Buis said the four inhabitants at the camps left quietly. twitter.com/newsleaderfotog

Payday lenders ‘keep popping up’ ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

“We’re concerned because these stores keep on popping up,” said McGovern. Their proximity to each other allows clients to skirt provincial regulations preventing a payday lender from advancing money if the client already has an outstanding loan to that lender—the customer just walks down the street to get the money, with the increased debt.

But fighting that regulatory battle, along with high interest rates such lenders charge—up to 600 per cent when calculated on an annual basis—is ongoing, said McGovern. Meanwhile, municipalities like Burnaby can take steps to restrict the access impoverished people have to payday lenders. “We urge city council to address this issue and limit the proliferation of these

businesses,” said McGovern who pointed out nothing has happened at the civic level since ACORN made a presentation to council last February. The issue was referred to the Community Development Committee for further study. In April the City of Surrey proposed an amendment to its bylaws to create at least 400 metres separation between payday loan stores.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: With a long lens, Mount Baker looms large. Rita Konesky caught this photo back in July 2010 with the moon over Baker at sunset looking east from the Kingsway and Patterson area in Burnaby.

Pay bridge tolls As 42,000 drivers in B.C. are discovering, failure to pay their bridge tolls is resulting in ICBC blocking them from driver’s licence or vehicle insurance renewals. That figure represents an alltime record number of people who have refused or neglected to pay tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges – 25,000 and 17,000 drivers, respectively – worth $3 million for just the Port Mann. Some feel the measure to deny motorists the ability to drive is overly harsh, and obviously, there is still a level of opposition to the concept of bridge tolling. It’s a surprising number, given that the Golden Ears has been tolled since it opened in 2009, and the Port Mann became tolled in 2012 as a new bridge. It’s not as though these fees are new, or haven’t been thoroughly discussed and debated. The reality is that the movement of traffic through the region requires river crossings, and those structures are astronomically expensive to build. They have to be financed somehow, and there are bound to be opponents of every option, including road tolls, increased gas taxes, additional provincial tax – or, as is the case here, user-pay. As for the denial of licence and insurance renewal, serious consequences are not an unusual result of failing to pay for a service. Don’t pay your hydro and gas bills, lose your power and gas. Ignore your cell bill, your phone eventually goes silent. The vast majority of bridge users pay their tolls, many by preauthorized payment. Fee-ducking drivers are issued three warnings before ICBC issues a “Refuse to Issue” notice. Aside from isolated cases of billing errors, it would seem the system is fair enough. If you use the bridges, pay up. —Abbotsford News/Black Press

Despite that, I wasn’t too happy with the rains of the Pineapple Express that preceded the record warm temperatures of Sunday and Monday.

somewhat on my mind, I have to wonder how “driverless” cars will cope with snow, black ice and pedestrians in dark clothing. Google, the great saviour of information seekers, claims that within two to five years people will be riding in self-driving cars, though it does admit that they will within that time frame still be test vehicles. And if you think the concept is nonsense, Google says it has had a unit operating without problems on a test track since December, and in fact has racked up more than 700,000 miles on public roads without causing a crash (though apparently in the latter accomplishment there were real people behind the wheel just in case something went wrong). Intriguingly, several U.S. states, in great strides of faith and conviction to technology, have already passed laws allowing autonomous (driverless) cars on public roads.

Knowing the incredible financial success it has had with other things its wizards have developed, I’m sure they’ll do just fine.

Fraser Health plans two-month bump in surgeries and scans Extra money in budget allows more procedures: officials Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health is temporarily increasing the number of surgeries it will perform over the next two months by seven per cent and it’s boosting the number of MRI scans by four per cent. The additional 650 surgeries and 1,500 MRI scans are to be performed in February and March in a bid to reduce wait lists. A year-end increase in spending to step up surgeries and scans was made possible because of a surplus in the surgical program budget, said Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser Health’s medical director for surgery. “These cases are going to be done over the remainder of this fiscal year and out of our current budget, so we’re not taking money out of some other activity in order to fund this,” he said. “We’ll be looking at the longer waiting cases first and bringing them down.” Extra surgeries will be distributed over various hospitals but not likely every one. “We’re looking at Burnaby as a site and we’ll be looking at Surrey, Langley and Eagle

Ridge,” he said, listing likely hospitals that may get extra funding. The bump may well be temporary – there’s no guarantee the rate of surgeries and scans won’t drop back down in April as Fraser enters a new budget year. Future levels will depend on Fraser’s budget allocation and the length of its wait lists, officials say. The move comes after criticism last fall of Fraser for ordering surgeons to reassess some patients in an attempt to avoid or reduce governmentimposed fines for failing to

complete surgeries within one year. As of Oct. 9, leaked statistics showed 650 scheduled surgeries had waited more than a year, the threshold where the health ministry imposes financial penalties under its pay-forperformance system. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said those numbers have been steadily improving over the last several months. The proportion of surgeries waiting longer than a year had dropped to 2.8 per cent as of the end of December, she said, down from more than 10 per cent in September of 2013. She credited the combined efforts of surgeons and hospitals for the reduction. Several hospitals with extra operating room time were able to offer it to surgeons normally based at different hospitals, she said. Each surgery that waits longer than a year means Fraser is docked $1,400 in additional funding it could have otherwise accessed. Juma said the planned increase in surgeries now is unconnected to the potential for penalties. Fraser won’t find out how much funding is withheld due to excessive waits until after the 2014-15 fiscal year is finished.

Coast Mountain Bus Company driver instructor Bruce Van Luven demonstrates a new Plexiglass shield that has been installed in one bus to protect its operator. The project is a pilot to test the barrier’s effectiveness in protecting drivers from unruly passengers.

MARIO BARTEL/ NEWSLEADER

Barrier testing begins to shield bus drivers High hopes it will protect against sucker punches Jeff Nagel Black Press

After years of talk and hundreds of vicious attacks, testing is now underway on a plastic shield to protect Metro Vancouver bus drivers from hostile passengers. The clear polycarbonate barrier was to go into regular service Thursday on one Coast Mountain bus that will run various routes in north Burnaby

as a six-month trial, and three more buses of different types will be outfitted with similar shields this spring in Port Coquitam, Surrey and Vancouver. Assaults on drivers were down in 2014 to 119 from 134 in 2013 but anxiety still runs high for drivers after various severe attacks over the years. Despite the concern, drivers have never been fully on board with the idea of a physical barrier, as some don’t want it to interfere with interacting with friendly passengers.

Nathan Woods, president of the bus drivers union, said he’s optimistic the barrier being tested will work. “The type of assaults this barrier will help to eliminate are the vicious ones – the sucker punches that debilitate and damage drivers’ lives for weeks if not years,” Woods said. Derek Stewart, Coast Mountain’s director of safety, said the test is being funded and overseen by WorkSafeBC, which will also help assess the findings. Please see TOUGHER, A11

Cop helps, then nabs suspected car thief A Burnaby man has been charged with possession of stolen property in a case that started out as a West Vancouver Police officer simply looking to help a stalled motorist. Just after 2 a.m. Sunday morning the West Vancouver officer noticed a man walking with two gas cans near 21st

Street and Capilano Road in North Vancouver. The officer asked if the man needed help then helped him carry the gas cans to a nearby vehicle. The man had a key for the vehicle but the officer became suspicious while talking with him. Through a quick radio check, the officer discovered

the vehicle had been reported stolen in Abbotsford a day earlier. The man was arrested without incident. The investigation also turned up property connected to a commercial break-andenter in West Vancouver and electronics reported stolen from a vehicle in North Vancouver.

Brian William Johnson, 32, of Burnaby has been charged with possession of stolen property under $5,000. He was released from custody pending his next court appearance in North Vancouver Provincial Court on Feb. 10. twitter.com/WandaChow

Tougher penalties for driver assault possible ⫸

continued from PAGE A9

A key issue is whether drivers can hear passengers clearly and communicate with them. Stewart said it appears that won’t be a problem as long as the passenger isn’t very soft-spoken. The hard plastic is impactresistant with low-glare but another concern is that drivers may get too hot. Stewart said early testing suggests it will provide adequate protection. “We re-enacted assaults by having somebody sit there and pretend to be sucker-punched,” he said, adding the shield also blocks spitting and most instances of thrown beverages. If the new barrier is approved, it could still be limited to just certain bus routes, rather than a full rollout. TransLink runs various models of

buses and each type will have to be custom-fitted with the new barrier, if it is adopted. There’s also hope Parliament will soon pass tougher criminal penalties for assaulting a bus driver. A bill is expected to go to third reading in the House of Commons in the next few weeks that would require judges to consider an assault against a transit worker to be “aggravated”– opening the potential for a sentence of federal jail time. It would apply not just to transit bus drivers, but others, including school bus drivers and taxi drivers. Woods is optimistic the change will become law. “When a transit operator is punched out and the bus is moving, everybody in the whole community is suddenly at risk – passengers, pedestrians and motorists.”

Port Mann Bridge use declined for most of 2014 Province scales back forecast, insists tolls will pay off debt on time Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fewer vehicles crossed the tolled Port Mann Bridge in 2014 than the previous year, but provincial government officials say the decline was expected and appears to have been temporary. The decrease in total traffic was 3.9 per cent, with 34.7 million crossings in 2014 compared to 36.1 million in 2013. Most bridge users enjoyed half-price tolls throughout 2013 due to an introductory discount offer that ended Jan. 1 2014 when full $3 tolls kicked in. Officials at the Transportation Investment Corp, which manages the new bridge, said they fully expected a dip in use in early 2014 as discounts ended and motorists tried free alternatives, such as the Pattullo Bridge. They also predicted drivers would eventually come back to the Port Mann for its time savings and say the latest counts now show that’s happening, albeit later than expected. December traffic over the bridge was up 2.6 per cent from the same month in 2013 and TI Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said January traffic is up nearly five per cent. “Traffic on the bridge is now stable and growing,” he said. But the Crown corporation has downgraded its traffic growth forecast for the years ahead, now estimating it at 2.5 per cent per year. Johnston said an earlier growth forecast prepared before the recession of 2008-09 was much too ambitious. The TI Corp.’s current service plan, filed with the government before the declines of 2014,

shows it assumed revenue growth of nearly 10 per cent in both 2015 and 2016. Even with that revenue estimate, Port Mann/Highway 1 debt was expected to rise to more than $3.6 billion by 2014 from an initial construction cost of $3.3 billion. Johnston said the more conservative traffic growth expectations are now forcing TI Corp. to borrow more money than expected to fund operations over the next few years to offset lower revenue. He said the updated forecast still indicates TI Corp. will fully pay off the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project debt by 2050, as planned, with no taxpayer subsidies. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said she has serious doubts as to whether the bridge can be paid off on time without raising tolls by more than the annual rate of inflation, which she said would drive even more motorists away. “The government has created a real albatross for everybody in B.C.,” she said. She said the Port Mann experience should be a cautionary tale but the province is plunging ahead with plans to build a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. It’s widely

expected to be tolled as well. “They could be going straight into it a second time,” Trevena said of the Massey bridge. “We haven’t seen any business plan for this. If they can’t make one billion-dollar boondoggle work how are they going to justify another one?” New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté said too many motorists who don’t want to pay the Port Mann toll drive through his city. His proposed solution is to reduce the toll at the Port Mann and charge the same, lower amount at the Pattullo Bridge as well, even though work has not yet begun on its $1-billion replacement. “There would be less vehicles diverting off the highway network to the Pattullo Bridge and onto roads not designed for that purpose and you’d have more revenue generated and an ability to have a lower toll on the Port Mann Bridge,” Coté said. He said that would bring a net benefit while still recognizing that money needs to be generated to support both crossings. “Having a toll bridge and a free alternative three kilometres down the road is not very efficient from a transportation point of view.”

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyundai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar powertrain and a reported range of 425 kms. Subaru VIZIV2 The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem. Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism. Toyota FT1 Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

back, you have a recipe for an MKC that handles the turns with poise and confidence. Estimated fuel consumption numbers come in at 12.9L/100km in the city and 9.2L/100km on the road. According to the trip computer, which I zeroed after picking the vehicle up, it said I was averaging 15.7L/100km. Yikes. I didn’t think I had that much of a lead foot, but I wasn’t driving the vehicle hard. And my daily routines consist of both city and highway driving. This figure wasn’t as impressive as I had hoped for. Aside from not-so-amazing fuel results, I was quite happy with the MKC’s cargo capacity. With the rear seats up, you’re looking at 712L. With the rear seats folded, there’s 1,505L to work with. It’s perfect for larger items like my road bike! I didn’t even have to take the front wheel off to fit it inside. Bonus. Then there are such features like the panoramic vista roof, the heated and cooled front seats, a THX audio system, and active park assist to make the vehicle even sweeter. Despite the plethora of options – there were $14,230 worth, for a test price of $55,920 with the $1,750 delivery charge included – the MKC doesn’t need to be loaded with them to the max to make it a worthwhile vehicle to drive. It does have some tough competition, like the Audi Q5, Acura RDX, BMW X3 and MercedesBenz GLK, but it can hold its own and does a great job of ensuring a great driver’s experience.

Faith is a concept not exclusive to religion. The principle of faith is to believe in things that haven’t been seen. Then there is the loss of faith. Perhaps the lack of seeing, and the abundance of waiting, left other opinions to be formed in the waiting period. Lincoln is a brand in which many lost faith.
