Chevron works on cleanup

HST under threat?

Petition reaches 10 per cent target in all B.C.’s ridings

Company will cover costs of cleaning up leaking oil, environment minister says

Chevron crews are drilling wells in the ground, close to where they think a gas, diesel and crude oil leak is originating at the Burnaby refinery.

It appears the oily substance is seeping underground and mixing with groundwater, which is then leaking into the Burrard Inlet, creating an oily sheen on the beach. Cleanup crews have the area contained in a 25metre section that’s cordoned off with a boom.

Chevron spokesperson Ray Lord said they have drilled 10 wells so far, which are about 45 feet deep and four inches across and outfitted with pumps.

“The idea there is that anything underground is then drawn by the pumping equipment to these little wells, and that gets sucked out of the ground,” he said.

That move will reduce the material leaking off the property, he added.

Chevron has yet to pinpoint the source for sure, but it appears that the oil is coming from an “impounding basin” that holds water from the site that has to be treated since it could be mixed with oil.

It’s hard to say exactly how much oil has escaped, but the estimate is less than 50 litres, which is about half a barrel. Lord said they came up with the figure based on how much oil is being mopped up on the beach, which Oil Page 2

They hit the magic number this past weekend, but there’s still a long way to go before the 12 per cent harmonized sales tax can be abolished.

Anti-HST petitioners have collected the required 10 per cent of signatures in all of B.C.’s 85 electoral ridings.

The initiative petition against the HST was brought on under legislation that allows voters to challenge laws.

The rules call for 10 per cent of signatures, but campaigners are aiming for 15 per cent, just to be on the safe side.

Seventy-one ridings have hit 15 per cent or more, according to a press release from the Fight HST campaign, which is leading the petition movement.

Spokesperson Chris Delaney expects to hit the 15 per cent mark in the remaining 14 ridings soon.

“This report represents only 70 of 85 ridings, with a number of ridings not reporting this week and others still tabulating results from the weekend.

HST: Many steps ahead for petition continued from page 1

We should make our internal 15 per cent target in all ridings by the first or second week of June,” Delaney said.

But the 10 per cent mark will not trigger a sudden death for the HST, which comes in effect July 1.

Elections B.C. has to review the petition first, to make sure there are enough valid signatures.

If that’s the case, it then goes to a committee of MLAs (including Burnaby

North’s Richard Lee) that decides what happens next: either send a bill that cancels the HST through the legislature or send the issue out to the public for an initiative vote, similar to a referendum.

The process will take months, and the earliest date for an initiative vote is Sept. 24, 2011. If the bill goes through the legislature, that would likely happen this fall, according to Delaney.

If the Liberal majority

still supports the HST and rejects the bill, Delaney said the campaign would move to the recall phase, where they have to collect 40 per cent of signatures in any given riding to have that MLA removed from office.

“To me, that was such a powerful moment.”

Beaton wanted to bring that experience to his classroom so that his students could appreciate Shakespeare not as dry words on a page but as a living, breathing work of art – “to really embrace what he was trying to show us.”

Thus the plan to not only stage a play, but Julie MacLellan to stage it outdoors to make the most of the staff reporter experience.

New facility at SFU will keep salt out of creek Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Simon Fraser University is building a new facility at its Burnaby campus to help stop salt from leaching into nearby Stoney Creek, one of the Lower Mainland’s most productive fish streams.

“We are having to dig really deep to do this in a time of scarce resources, but we believe it is the

right thing to do regardless of the cost,” said Lee Gavel, SFU’s chief facilities officer and university architect. The salt is used for clearing winter roads and is currently stored in a covered area on Burnaby Mountain.

The new $1-million, university-funded structure will be built in time for the 2010/11 winter season. An underlying impermeable membrane will surround the entire complex to prevent

salt from getting deep into the ground and the creek.

According to an SFU press release, the storage facility will capture salt-truck loading spillage in underground storage tanks and pump the resulting saline solution back to the surface via a brine maker. The automated system will recycle the underground solution and dilute it for de-icing hazardous roadways.

“This process will minimize

the need to discharge to the sanitary sewers and therefore lower the load on the sewer treatment plants,” said Gavel. “It also plays an important sustainable role as the operation collects salt-laden water, cleans it and converts it to brine. Additionally all salt handling will take place under cover. Spillage will be collected and reused.”

The move was prompted by a 2009 Stoney Creek Environment Last week’s question Are you concerned about cuts to the B.C. Ambulance Service?

Locals arrested in break-in

After the police were called, a police service dog helped the Ridge Meadows RCMP locate and arrest two of the three suspects in the basement of the home. A 19-year-old Burnaby man and an 18- yearold Port Moody man were taken from the scene while the third suspect fled.

But that suspect left his identification behind – and, at 9 p.m., the Burnaby RCMP knocked on his door and arrested the second 19-year-old Burnaby man.

The police are recommending breakand-enter charges against the trio. alau@burnabynow.com

the more it’s come to feel natural.

Tristan Yan, who’s playing Theseus, has some of the biggest chunks of dialogue in the script. He says memorizing his many lines hasn’t been too bad, but he admits that the whole idea of performance is a bit daunting.

“This is pretty much our first acting experience. It’s a pretty big production,” he says. “I’m still pretty nervous, but I think I’ll get used to it.”

Pooja laughingly explains that her previous acting experience was in a fifthgrade musical, when she had a small part as a soldier – and she fell while running across the stage. She hasn’t lived that down yet, but it hasn’t stopped her from enjoying being on the stage.

“I love to perform,” she says with a smile that lights up her eyes.

Both young actors say the commitment to rehearsals hasn’t been an issue.

In fact, Tristan says, “The rehearsals are very fun.”

Even when things are tough, Pooja says, “we still know how to laugh about it.”

Sitting in on the end of their rehearsal, it’s clear they’re right about that.

As Chrissie Masakayan delivers Puck’s

closing lines: “So, good night unto you all.

Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends,” and the cast moves into a closing dance sequence, the ensuing laughter makes it clear just how much the students are enjoying themselves.

And, as it happens, they’re learning at the same time.

Beaton says if he tested them on the play after the performance (which, by the way, he’s not planning on doing, so his students need not panic), every one of them would ace it.

There’s very little about A Midsummer Night’s Dream that they haven’t learned through this process.

“They know it inside out,” Beaton says.

“It is quite something how in-depth this takes them.”

The students’ production is open to the public, and they’re inviting everyone to head out to Burnaby Art Gallery next weekend to see it.

Shows are at 7 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6. Audience members are asked to bring chairs or blankets to sit on and to be prepared for the weather, since the show will run rain or shine.

Admission is by donation.

creek is also home to the Nooksack dace, an endangered minnow found in only a handful of B.C. streams.

The Stoney Creek Environment Committee’s Jennifer Atchison was happy about the longpromised new facility, but she pointed out that the

groundwater of the current site is still contaminated.

“We don’t know how they are going to clean that up,” she said.

SFU also plans to mix its salt with sand to reduce the amount used on roads and the resulting salty runoff into the creek.

The university was hoping for money from the

provincial government to help pay for the facility, but instead the university will foot the entire bill.

“The province did not fund the project, citing a shortage of funds. Given the importance of protecting Stoney Creek, SFU chose to use its own funds to do so,” Gavel said. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Two 19-year-old Burnaby men were arrested on May 26 in connection with a break-and-enter in Maple Ridge.

Just after 12:40 p.m. on May 26, Ridge Meadows RCMP responded to a call about three suspicious males at a home in the 21100 block of 123rd Avenue in Maple Ridge.

According to RCMP Insp. Derren Lench, a neighbour saw the three men near the home, and then, a short time later, he saw them inside the residence. The three had apparently gained entry in the home by breaking a rear patio door window.

staff reporter

After more than 465 hours of work from Brian Borsoff and the staff at Burnaby Auto Body, a 1950 Ford fire truck that used to be part of the Burnaby Fire Department will be on the streets again.

“We’ve put a lot of work into this restoration, and the chief (Bob Cook) came in to say he wanted it in the parade for Hats Off Day, even if it means we get it towed on a flatbed,” said Borsoff. “The people will get to see this great old truck almost restored

to its former glory.”

So, on Hats Off Day on June 5, on the back of a flatbed, the little red fire engine that wouldn’t die will be on the streets of Burnaby again.

Borsoff estimates his staff will need about 50 more hours to finish their part of the job before they return the red truck for good to the fire department.

“We have about 500 little pieces left to install,” said Borsoff. “And then the fire department will put in a restored engine.”

Of course, not all of the foods sold in drug stores or grocery stores are healthy, and the argument could be made that pop and chips do as much damage to some people as cigarettes do to others.

The difference, though, is that people who damage their health through overconsumption of fat- and sugar-laden foods don’t harm others, at least directly.

Smokers, however, impact other people’s health, no matter how considerate they try to be of non-smokers. Even new rules banning smoking within three

metres of doorways to public buildings just mean that smokers huddle on sidewalks, where non-smokers have to hold their breath as they walk by.

How can we, as a society, justify allowing pharmacies to continue selling cigarettes? They’re still visible to children, since the covers put in place to hide them from view have to be opened each time a clerk takes a package out.

What kind of message does selling cigarettes in the same place as medicine send to kids?

The wrong one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Chevron needs to clean up its act Dear Editor:

Re: Search underway for oil source, Burnaby NOW, May 29 I am appalled that ongoing oil leaks, or whatever Chevron tries to call it, are still happening in the heart of the Lower Mainland. This is another in a long string of “events” related to Chevron’s operations in North Burnaby. “Unplanned discharges” of particulate and toxic fumes in the air we breathe are an annual event. We’ve even been subject to leaks of toxic waste like methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). This goes beyond the “nuisance odours” North Burnaby residents have been subjected to for decades.

Oh, and good luck getting a straight answer from Chevron or Fraser Health if you’re curious about what you’ve been exposed to when you took your kids to Confederation Park.

People asking “Why doesn’t this guy just move?” should really be asking how, when a community was built up around the Chevron refinery 50 years ago, could Chevron continue to do the bare minimum required by regulation to protect its neighbours?

What really concerns me is that if this toxic sludge is seeping out from the ground, how will we ever know how much material we’re dealing with and how can we ever be certain that the cleanup job is done? With this seepage ongoing for over a Chevron Page 7

Bryan had left a friend’s place in New Westminster, but he never returned to his Cariboo Heights home. His abandoned car was found in the parking lot of the George Derby Centre.

“I can’t say enough about how much work the guys have done,” said Borsoff. “It really has been a labour of love.”

Borsoff knew the job wouldn’t be easy when the 1950 Ford fire truck first rolled through his doors in February 2009.

As Fyall started with the body work, he stripped all the way down to the bare metal, only to find what

Borsoff calls “little treasures.”

The “little treasures” Borsoff speaks of are rust holes that aren’t seen on the exterior and mean “cutting out all new metal to replace it.”

It took time and patience to turn those little treasures into real treasures, and with the finish line in sight, Borsoff is happy to give the public a preview of the finished product.

Borsoff sent over the almost-finished truck to the fire department on Tuesday, and he won’t see it again until Saturday, when it will be paraded on Hastings Street for Hats Off Day. After the parade, the truck comes back to Burnaby Auto Body for the last 50 hours of work.

“I’ve always said that I love challenges, and this truck has certainly

Oceanside Getaway at Porteau Cove

been a challenge,” said Borsoff. “But at the end of the day, we’re all so proud we were able to bring some life back into this old truck. From what we gather, this truck has gone through a lot. … After many years in Burnaby, the truck got sent up to the Interior, and it didn’t get back to the Lower Mainland until late 2007.”

It was kept in storage until that fateful day, 16 months ago when Borsoff and his boys got the call.

“I think we’ll all be at Hats Off Day to see what she looks like,” said Borsoff. “It’s almost like a test drive to see the truck back on the streets.

I’m hoping everybody gets a kick out of seeing it.”

Hats Off Day is this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more info, go to www.burnabyheights.com.

SECTION COORDINATOR Julie MacLellan, 604-444-3020 • jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Young dancers strive for excellence Five Burnaby students part of Arts Umbrella companies, in performance this weekend Julie MacLellan staff reporter

When Rachel Wong, Tristan Lee, Scott Pidzarko, Lucy Huang and Oksana Wengreniuk take to the stage next weekend, they will be following in the footsteps of some illustrious company.

The five Burnaby dancers are all part of the Arts Umbrella Dance Company, which is presenting its season finale show at the Vancouver Playhouse on June 4 and 5.

The show will include premieres of original dances by internationally acclaimed choreographers such as James Kudelka, Serge Bennathan, Amber Funk-Barton, Josh Martin and Gioconda Barbuto, among others.

“Watching these dancers perform, one forgets how young they are,” a press release says. “Their level of talent and ability far exceeds what one would expect from a group of teenagers.”

Of course, the dancers of Arts Umbrella are not just any teenagers.

Arts Umbrella, based on Granville Island, offers a professional training program for aspiring professional dancers – an apprentice company, led by Andrea

Hodge and Lina Fitzner, for those aged 12 to 16, and a senior company, led by artistic director Artemis Gordon, for those aged 16 to 19.

Their training, which is based in ballet and also includes contemporary, jazz and modern dance, is designed to developed the technique and physical ability necessary to help them pursue professional careers.

Many Arts Umbrella grads, in fact, have gone on to do just that – Alexis Fletcher, Shannon Ferguson, Connor Gnam, Alyson Fretz and Alex Parrett all dance with Ballet B.C.; Burnaby’s Sarah Wasik is now with Toronto Dance Theatre; Julie Pecard is with ProArte Danza.

This year’s senior company includes three dancers who are off to pursue their professional futures – Alex Burton has already made the leap to the professional ranks as an apprentice company member with Ballet B.C., while Stephanie Lebedies and Chris Hoyte have been offered contracts by the prestigious Semper Opera Ballet in Dresden, Germany.

The Burnaby dancers are still some years away from that future – right now, they are all part of the Arts Umbrella apprentice company.

Oksana and Rachel, both Grade 10 students, are in their third year with the company – next year, both will move up the ranks to the senior company.

In the spotlight: Burnaby dancers (above, from left) Lucy Huang, Rachel Wong, Scott Pidzarko, Oksana Wengreniuk and (left) Tristan Lee are on stage with the Arts Umbrella Dance Company Friday and Saturday.

Tristan, a Grade 9 student, is in her second year with the apprentice company, while Lucy, a Grade 7 student, is in her first season.

Also new to the apprentice company this year is Scott, a Grade 10 student who only started dancing last year.

All the high-school-age dancers attend the SPARTS program at Magee Secondary in Vancouver, which allows them to attend school in the mornings and have dance training in the afternoons.

Between classes and company rehearsals, all of them dance about 25 hours a

week.

Their studies this year will culminate in this weekend’s season finale show.

The Arts Umbrella Dance Company (season finale is on stage at the Vancouver Playhouse theatre on Friday and Saturday, June 4 and 5, at 8 p.m.

A reception and silent auction will follow the Saturday performance.

Tickets are available through Tickets Tonight at 604-684-2787.

Dark comedy takes to the stage It’s billed as “provocative hilarity,” and with a title like Why Torture is Wrong, And The People Who Love Them, it would be hard to argue.

Burnaby’s Brian Anderson is appearing in the production by Twisted Knickerz Equity Co-op, which is staging the Canadian première of Christopher Durang’s comedy at the PAL Theatre from June 2 to 13.

Fresh from Broadway, the dark comedy set against the backdrop of America’s homeland “insecurity” takes aim at American politics – “from freedom fries to the feelings of fetuses, nothing is sacred,” as a press release promises.

Anderson – who recently found himself hammering four-inch nails into his head during a recent fundraiser for the play – said the “odd skills” he’s acquired over his acting career occasionally come in handy.

Among the other feats he’s performed, he’s had to handle live cockroaches, lie on a bed of nails and have bricks broken on his chest, and stick his head in an operating guillotine.

“The props people showed me all the safeguards that had been built in to keep it from killing anyone, but the first time you stick your head in it, it’s still quite an adrenalinecharged scenario,” he says.

But, matter-of-fact as

Anderson is about lifethreatening stage scenarios, he says audiences shouldn’t worry about the level of torture in the new show.

He notes that there’s “some punching, some shouting, and the occasional finger gets removed, but it’s all in good fun.”

“Durang has a wonderful sense of the absurd,” Anderson says. “The show takes a very funny look at the extremes we will go to in an attempt to justify what we believe.”

Also appearing are

Brian J. Coffey, Beth Garner, Stefano Giulianetti, Aslam Husaine, Elizabeth McLaughlin and June B. Wilde. It’s directed by Chris McGregor.

The PAL Theatre is at 581 Cardero St. in Vancouver.

Shows are on June 2 to 5 and June 9 to 13 at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on June 13. Tickets are $20 regular, or $15 for students, seniors and Equity members. Buy at www.tickets tonight.ca, or see www. whytorturevancouver.com for details.

Burnaby teens star in Oklahoma! production A classic Broadway musical is coming to the stage next week with two young Burnaby talents in leading roles.

Antonio Larosa and Alessia Giacobetti play Curly and Laurey in Oklahoma!, a musical production by Broadway Bound Performing Arts Studio.

They’re part of a cast of

students aged seven to 18 who’ll be bringing the classic Broadway favourite to life.

Set in Oklahoma Territory in 1906, the musical tells the story of cowboy Curly McLain and his romance with farm girl Laurey Williams. It originally opened on Broadway in 1943 and ran for a then-

unprecedented 2,212 performances.

The two young Burnaby stars are no strangers to the stage.

The Burnaby-born Alessia, now in Grade 11 at Burnaby Central, has been taking drama classes since

Grade 8. She’s been singing and dancing since age four and has appeared in several musicals.

Antonio, a Grade 12 student at Alpha Secondary, won a spot in the finals of the Red Robinson talent show at the PNE in 2008

and, earlier this year, won the title at the Burnaby’s Got Talent contest.

Oklahoma! is on stage at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, 1205 Pinetree Way in Coquitlam, from June 3 to 6. It runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30

p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. School matinees are also available.

Let’s face it; no matter what type of fat you are ingesting on a regular basis, moderation is the key, as with almost everything. For instance, many doctors may tell you that red wine is good for you

Burnaby hits bottom in WLA Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers found themselves in a familiar spot following a 10-5 loss in Victoria to the senior A Shamrocks last Friday.

The Lakers trailed 6-1 midway through the second period before staging a late-period rally that brought the visitors to within a goal in the Western Lacrosse Association contest.

But Burnaby had little left in the tank for the final 20 minutes, surrendering four unanswered goals to the Capital city squad while being outshot a whopping 21-8 in the third

period.

Rookie Trevor Moore silenced a three-goal Victoria run to start the first period with his fifth goal of the year from fellow first-year snipers Shaun Dhaliwal and Dane Stevens.

Free-agent signing Cam Bergman picked up the team in just his second start of the season, sparking the Lakers’ second-period rally with a goal and two helpers on the four Burnaby markers.

But that was all the Lakers could muster. Victoria outshot the visitors 53-37.

Drew Dickie, in his first start for the senior A Lakers, stopped 43 shots in the Burnaby goal.

The Lakers share last place in the senior A basement with both Nanaimo and Langley, all with two points apiece.

The senior Lakers are idle this week. Next week, Burnaby travels to Langley for a mid-week tilt with the Thunder on June 9. Their next home game is Friday, June 11 against the Shamrocks at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Unbeaten New Westminster currently shares top spot with Victoria, while Maple Ridge won its third straight game, beating Coquitlam 11-8 Sunday, to pull even with the A’s and a share of third place.

The slumping junior A club allowed the host Tmen six first-period goals and never sufficiently recovered, despite matching Nanaimo shot for shot.

Riley Loewen and Jackson Decker, both hot off a semifinal appearance with Limestone College in the NCAA Division II national field lacrosse championships last week, both made their presence felt, but the final result was the same as in the last two weeks.

Loewen tallied a pair of back-to-back goals in the middle period and Decker got his first of the season later in the frame to help pace the Lakers with three points apiece.

First-year Laker Mackenzie Davis scored four times in the contest to

lead all Burnaby shooters with 11 goals to date.

Jaxson Lee led the visitors with a five-point outing, including his 10th of the year.

Cody Bremner and Ryan Forslund of Nanaimo both potted hat tricks for the T-Men, who moved into a second-place tie with unbeaten Coquitlam with the win.

Burnaby is idle this week. The Lakers’ next home game is this Sunday, June 6 against the Port Coquitlam Saints. Game time at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre is 7 p.m.

A day designed for you

by Isabel Kolic

The Heights Contributor

We take our hats off to you.

In just a few days, Hastings Street will close down to the everyday rush of traffic and open up to the Heights community for a community celebration unlike any other.

It’s Hats Off Day, a day when the Heights merchants take their hats off to you, their loyal customers and work with the Heights community to plan a street festival and parade with real local flavour.

Spanning 11 blocks, Hats Off Day features music, entertainment, fantastic food, as well as merchant promotions and giveaways. Not to be missed is the Show and Shine custom and vintage car show and new to this year’s event, a vintage motorcycle exhibit presented by Trev Deeley Motorcycle

Museum. There is truly something for everyone.

Hats Off Day could not happen without the dedicated committee of volunteers from the community who pour their hearts and souls into making this event the best it can be. Hundreds of hours are spent planning and preparing for this day.

A special thank you to the City of Burnaby, and all committee members representing Burnaby firefighters, Dance Addicts Studio, Expedia Cruiseship Centers, Gilmore Community School, Hastings/Brentwood community policing office, Heights Neighbourhood Association, the RCMP, Scientology volunteer ministers, Teamsters Union #31, Tourism Burnaby, Volunteer Burnaby and various other individual and merchant volunteers from our community, including parade coordinator Tom Halford and display coordinator Simone Callahan. We

thank you for your invaluable contributions.

There should also be special recognition given to our generous sponsors, whom without, Hats Off Day would not be the same. Our sincerest gratitude to the Burnaby NOW, Chevron, Global TV, Tourism Burnaby, Westminster Savings Credit Union, the Burnaby Board of Trade, Re/Max, Vancity, McDonald’s Restaurant, BMO Bank of Montreal, Boffo Development, CIBC and Scotiabank. You are true pillars in the Heights community, and we take our hats off to you.

On behalf of the Heights Merchants Association, we look forward to seeing everyone at Hats Off Day, as it is gearing up to be the biggest and best yet.

Isabel Kolic is the executive director of the Heights Merchants Association and a member of the Hats Off Day organizing committee.
