CHEVRON OIL LEAK
‘Drastic’ measures needed Biologist says containing leak will be difficult while Chevron says it will continue to work with govt. to address problem Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
The north Burnaby Chevron refinery will continue leaking oil unless drastic measures are taken to stop the flow of groundwater offsite, according to a biologist from the David Suzuki Foundation. The leeching mix of gas, diesel and crude oil was first discovered in a routine inspection on April 21. It was pooling in a ditch next to the railroad tracks downhill from the property, and showing up on the beach below in the Burrard Inlet. The foundation’s John Werring has visited the leak site and is raising concerns after reviewing reports filed with the Environment Ministry on Chevron’s perimeter monitoring program. “The reports make it abundantly clear that Chevron has known for years that the groundwater and soils on their site are contaminated with hydrocarbons,” Werring wrote in an e-mail to the NOW. The hydrocarbons in question include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, light and heavy extractable crude, diesel and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). “Some of the most heavily contaminated areas have been dubbed ‘areas of environmental concern,’” he said. “Levels of these contaminants – with the exception of MTBE Chevron Page 9

City senior wants out of Chilliwack Daughter frustrated as she tries to bring mom back to Burnaby Janaya Fuller-Evans
staff reporter
When Burnaby resident Margaret Bailie fell and broke her leg while vacationing in Point Roberts, Washington, she was fortunate to be rushed over the border to the hospital in Delta. But that was the last of the 86-yearold’s luck, according to daughter Colleen Mullen. “We were going out for dinner for my sister’s 40th birthday, and my mother fell
on the way back,” Mullen said, adding the family has a summer cottage in Point Roberts. That was on Sept. 11. The fire department took her directly to Delta. “They were very good, very fast,” Mullen said. But the next day, Bailie was transferred to Chilliwack General Hospital, and the family wasn’t informed, she said. Mullen said she was told that Chilliwack was the hospital on call, taking patients for surgery in the region at the time, which is why Bailie wasn’t transferred to a hospital closer to her home in Burnaby. The journey was hard on Bailie, who was
given a lot of pain medication to manage the trip, Mullen said. “By the time they got there, her vitals were very low, she had low sodium levels and she was having trouble breathing,” she said. “She went straight to the ICU.” By the next evening, Sept. 13, Bailie was stable enough to have surgery. She stayed in the intensive care unit until Sept. 16, Mullen said, and then the orthopedic surgeon signed off on her case. But the family was told there was a new rule requiring patients to stay at the hospital where they’ve had their procedure for 14 Senior Page 4

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is asking the federal government to end homelessness – and all because of a resolution spearheaded by the Burnaby Board of Trade. The Burnaby Board of Trade submitted a policy resolution to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, calling for a federal homelessness plan, and the resolution passed at the chamber’s annual general meeting on Monday in Gatineau, Que. It took some convincing, but Burnaby did get the two-thirds majority needed to pass the motion, according to Darlene Gering, president and CEO of Burnaby’s Board of Trade. “We had kind of an uphill battle with Alberta,” she said, but added that the board was able to get Calgary onside, and Ontario was also for it. Some boards and chambers of commerce were concerned that homelessness was actually an issue that falls under provincial jurisdiction, Gering said. But Burnaby is looking for the federal government to come up with a national plan to end homelessness and set benchmarks, she explained. “A lot of money is put towards homelessness, which is great,” Gering said. “But without a plan, it (homelessness) will continue to increase.” Homelessness is an issue that directly affects local businesses, she said in an interview with the NOW in August. The board of trade has been aware of the effect of homelessness on businesses for years now, she added. “It was initially brought forward in 2008 by some members of the business community,” she said. Shoppers often don’t enter businesses if homeless people are outside, Gering explained, and financial institutions in particular are affected when homeless people use ATMs to sleep or urinate in. “People are afraid to go into a business if people are loitering about outside,” she said. The financial costs to taxpayers are also problematic, Gering said, such as increased healthcare, policing and public safety costs. It is also simply a matter of doing what’s right and having a social conscience, she said. Homelessness Page 9

Funds will beef up surgeries
Burnaby hospital will be able to perform 800 more surgical procedures Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter
The government of B.C. is giving $23.4 million more to provincial health authorities as part of its patient-focused funding initiative. The bulk of the funding, $20.4 million, is for surgical and medical procedures, while $3 million is for MRI exams, health minister Kevin Falcon said in a press release. The province is planning to spend $250 million over the next two years to launch
the patient-focused funding model to the 23 largest hospitals across the province, Falcon announced in April. Patient-focused funding pays hospitals per patient treated and is intended to move people through the health-care system more quickly and decrease wait times. “Up to 33,000 patients will benefit from more timely, accessible care as we increase selected surgical and medical procedures performed across the province by up to 23 per cent, using less than one per cent of the acute-care budget,” Falcon said. “Patient-focused funding is one of the best options to keep our health system sustainable by raising productivity and improving health quality.” Additional MRIs are being scheduled

across the region, Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall said last Friday, and Burnaby Hospital will receive funding for approximately 800 more surgical procedures. Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster is receiving funding for about 100 more surgeries, she added. Fraser Health’s president and CEO welcomed the announcement. “Health authorities will be targeting more MRI procedures and more surgeries across the province to address a growing patient need,” Dr. Nigel Murray said in the release. “Fraser Health, like all other health authorities, welcomes the opportunity to use patient-focused funding as a vehicle to encourage more efficient use of

Fake money leads to arrest
A 17-year-old Burnaby boy was arrested in North Vancouver on Sept. 16. North Vancouver RCMP are recommending charges of possession of counterfeit currency, passing counterfeit currency, assault and fraudulently obtaining food or lodging against the young man, who cannot be named because of his age. Around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, a young man used a counterfeit $50 bill to buy sushi at Ake Bono Sushi in the Lonsdale Quay. By the time an employee had noticed the
bill was fake, the boy had left. The owner spotted him trying to pass another fake $50 bill at another store in the market. When she confronted him, he ran from the store owner, who is in her 60s. The store owner gave chase and caught him near the exit. While the boy began to struggle, a bystander helped out. Members of the North Vancouver RCMP bike patrol arrived on the scene quickly and arrested the boy. alau@burnabynow.com

days, Mullen said. The patient can only be transferred to a hospital near their home when a bed becomes available after that point, she added. The situation has been hard on Bailie, who has suffered off and on from depression. “My mother’s not eating,” Mullen said. “It’s very frustrating.” Bailie only eats fresh produce and is unlikely to adjust to the diet at the hospital, she said, adding if Bailie were at Burnaby Hospital, she could bring her food and make sure she eats. “We need to get her back to our community,” Mullen said, “get her on the road to recovery.” Bailie was born on Price Street in 1924 and still lives on her own in her home, now on Halley Avenue. Bailie has donated faithfully to Burnaby Hospital, Mullen said, which makes the current situation all the more frustrating. She was visiting her mother every day
but now the family alternates visits. It is a two-to-three hour trip for them, she said. Mullen visits her mother every other day, as does her brother. Her daughters and husband visit on weekends, she said. “I’m five minutes from Burnaby Hospital,” Mullen said. “I could be up there two or three times a day.” Bailie’s friends and neighbours can’t visit her because many of them are in their 80s and can’t make the trip. As of September 27, Mullen had been told there was no transfer in sight. Mullen has contacted her MLA and is hoping to hear from Fraser Health on the matter, she said. “It’s the most ridiculous system I’ve ever heard of,” she said. There isn’t a 14-day stay policy on surgeries in place for the region, according to Joan Marshall, spokesperson for Fraser Health. Each patient’s stay at a hospital is decided at the discretion of his or her physician, she said. She could not comment on any of the specifics of Bailie’s case.

Local man pleads guilty in transit pass fraud case Alfie Lau
staff reporter
A 26-year-old Burnaby man has pled guilty in Surrey Provincial Court for his part in selling forged transit passes. Mathew Stuthard was sentenced on Sept. 21 to two-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of forgery and fraud. The case involved the sale of fraudulent Ministry of Social Services transit passes being sold in significant quantities. The Transit Police’s crime reduction unit, using plainclothes officers, investigated the sales of the passes in Surrey and continued the investigation in Burnaby. The unit, armed with a search warrant, then entered the Burnaby residence and seized counterfeit Canadian currency,
computer equipment used in the manufacture of forged transit passes, forged Alberta driver’s licences, retail credit and gift cards, government identification and other evidence of identity theft. The forged transit passes in this case are ones issued annually by the B.C. Ministry of Social Services to special needs clients for unlimited use of the transit system. “The forgery of the MSS passes had the potential to result in significant losses of revenue for TransLink, totalling approximately $250,000 a year,” said Transit Police spokesperson Const. Jim Biring in a prepared release. “The forgery of MSS passes seriously undermines the confidence in all passes issued to all special needs clients and exposes them to unnecessary examination and review by police authorities.”

The plan was pretty obvious – stall and hope the request goes away. Or, by the time the request is met the information will not be as “newsy.” According to the Minister of Citizens’ Services, Mary McNeil, the government has made great strides in the process. She notes that since 2001, information request response times have gone from an average of 71 to 24 business days. And
there has been a 90 per cent compliance rate. Critics are not quite as pleased with the stats and say that there is still much improvement needed. But it’s worth noting that Elizabeth Denham, B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner, has been clear that she expects compliance with the law – and, judging by her recent actions, she’s not to be trifled with. Let’s hope everybody gets the message and the ‘right to know’ becomes much more than just a great slogan one week of the year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HST critics entitled to air views
Dear Editor:
Re: HST opponents should pay, Letters to the Editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 25. I am quite outraged by the letter written by Mr. Eckardt, who suggests that if, through the results of a referendum, the HST will be rolled back, then the anti-HST people should be made to pay back the $1.6 billion to Ottawa and all other expenses encountered through the said referendum. Mr. Eckardt, we do not live in a communist country. This is Canada, where we fortunately enjoy freedom of speech. With that said, yes, Mr. Eckardt, you are entitled to your opinion, but those opposed to the HST are also entitled to theirs. That means that you shouldn’t be penalized monetarily or otherwise for expressing your political point of

view, but neither should those whose opinions differs from yours. As per the $1.6 billion, I said it before and I say it again: Ottawa should suck it up and take the loss, as they had no business putting their nose in our provincial affairs. However, Mr. Eckardt, I do agree with you on one point you made, and that is that, yes, the referendum should take place now, not a year from now. Frank Di Cesare, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Concerts not fun for many continued from page 6
Andrew Fleming, who suggests that the general world should share in more noise from outdoor concerts in Deer Lake Park. I’m sure that those who attend the concerts find a certain enjoyment in them – though I have to say that the couple of times I’ve attended the VSO concerts, I’ve wished that I was in the Orpheum, or in front of my stereo, where the music has the quality it deserves. But I have to say that many more people than those at the concert share in the music (or noise), and it is most frequently pretty unpleasant. It’s like that kid in the black car beside you at the stoplight, whose bass makes your car rock and conversation impossible: unpleasant, loud and disrespectful, not to say damaging to hearing. With the volume of the noise that I hear inside my house, a kilometre distant from the park, it is so loud that I wonder of the taxpayer-supported damage being done to those unfortunate enough to be in front of the speakers! On top of that, I’ve tried to play my own music in the house, but I find that the noise from the park is louder than my own. I think it is really disrespectful of the city to impose this on the citizens around the Deer Lake area: While it may be “fun” for some, it is surely not for a great many others! This is a great activity for the mountains around Whistler; perhaps at Cypress Bowl; conceivably up at the top of Burnaby Mountain. In the city, I vote against it. Richard N. Merchant, Burnaby
How to improve traffic Dear Editor:
Re: Crash central, Burnaby NOW, Sept.
18, regarding the intersection of Highway 1 and Willingdon Avenue. The placement of yet another set of lights near the overpass over the freeway shows how little the powers have not checked into other entrances along the 401 freeway in Burnaby. If the eastbound freeway exit was moved east to exit at Beta Avenue (near BCAA) it would be 100 per cent safe. If the entrance to the eastbound freeway traffic from Beta Avenue (Willingdon Avenue traffic) was used, a free and safe entrance could be used as the property is currently owned by the provincial government, so thus no cost in a purchase of same. An additional safety point is that traffic lights already exist at the intersection of Canada Way and Beta streets – there would not be any expense in that adjustment of local automobile movements. One has to ponder why an at-grade underpass was not used at Boundary Road for all freeway traffic from Grandview Highway, both to and from, with Boundary Road traffic left at the current grade. Four lanes could easily have been arranged and safety enhanced substantially at this awful intersection. The last point is why a double exit (identical to the First Avenue exit) northbound was not built to hook up with Broadway. Broadway intersects with all the major streets (i.e. Main, Cambie, Granville, Burrard and MacDonald) with three distinct east and west lanes, already paved and with changes signage giving freer access to major downtown locations each day. Improvements in the future must consider the foregoing to utilize what exists currently and to a greater advantage for all commuters and traffic flows in general.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - ROAD CLOSURES Re: Annual Toy Run, Sunday, October 3, 2010
The Christmas Toy Run is the largest event of its kind in Canada and the largest contributor to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which also supplies 20 other Christmas Bureaus throughout B.C. (including Burnaby Christmas Bureau) with toys for underprivileged children and food for families in need. Please come and enjoy, or participate (by bringing a toy), to this year’s event on Sunday, October 3, 2010. To safely accommodate the needs of residents and participants, all intersecting streets on the north side of Hastings St. between Inlet Dr. and Boundary Rd. will be closed from 10:00 am to the end of the parade at approximately 12:00 pm noon except for three control points at Willingdon Ave., Holdom Ave. and Cliff Ave. where traffic and pedestrians will be queued and allowed to cross at the traffic signals at RCMP’s discretion. Westbound traffic will not be permitted on Hastings St. during the parade. Eastbound traffic will not be permitted to turn left across the parade traffic. Northbound traffic will be restricted to right turns only at all intersections except at the three control points mentioned above. Westbound bus service will be rerouted along Pender St. for the duration of the Parade. Westbound Burnaby Mountain Pkwy. traffic will be intercepted at Duthie Ave. and rerouted southbound to Curtis St. or Broadway for the duration of the Parade. We ask that you please modify your travel plans to avoid the route should you need to travel in North Burnaby on Sunday, October 3, 2010 between 9:30 am and approximately 1:00 pm. If you have any questions, please contact Sheryl Coltman at 604-294-7455 between 8:00 am and 4:45 pm Monday to Friday.

To give the Fight HST organization some kind of formal power over the terms of a referendum flies in the face of democracy. No one has elected them to do anything. (Delaney has tried several times to be elected an MLA, but he hasn’t come close to being chosen by the people.) Even their anti-HST petition, for all its success at exceeding a low threshold to make it effective, was ignored or rejected by more than 81 per cent of the electorate. Vander Zalm and his gang have essentially been given a free ride in the
media since they began their petition drive. People who should know better have been swept along by populist sentiment and the charismatic, engaging former premier. But excuse me if I choose not to be part of that blind obedience. Recalling a B.C. Liberal MLA is one thing, but the implications of allowing a non-elected gang to dictate the law to a government are enormous and quite troubling. It may make Gordon Campbell’s attempt to stay in power more problematic, but hopefully he ignores the demands from
the mob.
◆ We all lost a dear friend last week when Sindi Hawkins succumbed to her long struggle with cancer. The former B.C. Liberal MLA from Kelowna was an inspiration to all who knew her and even to those who didn’t. She rarely let her illness dampen her spirit, and she maintained a cheerful and even humorous optimism as she overcame one challenge after another. She will truly and sadly be missed.

Chevron: Cleanup ‘a long-term program’ continued from page 1
– in the areas of greatest environmental concern, which by the way, exist both near the tank farm and the refinery, exceed the B.C. Contaminated Sites Regulation standards for industrial lands and for the protection of aquatic life.” Werring added that the monitoring reports are being used to track the levels and extent of the contamination, but they don’t indicate where the material is coming from. “They are likely the result of onsite spills and leaking or broken pipes or underground storage tanks over time,” he wrote. According to Werring, Chevron has known for at least a decade that their site is contaminated and that contaminated material is migrating offsite. “I don’t think they will be finding a source for the current spill or leak,” he said. “I believe the source to be contaminated groundwater that has finally come to the surface in the ditch. Hydrocarbons like diesel and crude take a lot longer to migrate through soil than water, so a spill or leak that
happened a decade ago could only now be coming to the surface.” Werring said the leak will continue unless “drastic measures” are taken to capture and treat all the groundwater migrating offsite. Werring admits this would be difficult, but he said Chevron could dig wells downhill from the refinery to intercept more of the contaminated groundwater. Chevron spokesperson Ray Lord said the company has known “all along” that the refinery site is contaminated. “This refinery has been operating since the mid-1950s, and as an established heavy industrial site, the presence of hydrocarbons on our site is not something that is unexpected,” Lord said. “And because of that, we have, for years now, … been working with the appropriate government ministries on the perimeter monitoring program to mitigate and remediate, if required, any contamination found.” In 1999, the company started its perimeter monitoring program to keep an eye on contaminants that
could be leeching offsite. When asked if the program was working, given the current leak, Lord responded that it’s doing what it’s intended to do, which is to identify any problems. The program doesn’t stop material from migrating offsite per se. There’s also an interception system, basically a network of wells that collect contaminated groundwater that can be removed and treated before it migrates offsite. With the current leak on the foreshore, crews continue to spot clean and soak up any oily material they find. While Chevron hasn’t sourced the leak yet, Lord said they are focusing on the refinery’s effluent system, although he also said that “finding a particular source may never happen.” He also said it’s hard to say if the site will ever get cleaned up. “All we can say is we can continue to monitor,” Lord said. “It’s a longterm program.” To read Werring’s full report, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www.burnabynow. com.
Surgeries: ‘Patient-focused funding’ offered continued from page 3
our health-care resources and continuously improve the quality of our service delivery.” By 2012/13, patient-focused funding is expected to be 20 per cent of health-care funding provided by the province, while the other 80 per cent will remain as block funding, according to the release. Patient-focused funding was one of the subjects of a health forum held in Burnaby by the B.C. Health Coalition back in May. The new model could benefit private clinics, at a time when a group of private clinics has a lawsuit against the provincial government, forum coordinator Lew MacDonald said in
an interview with the NOW before the forum. The lawsuit, which was launched in 2008 and is still in front of the courts, argues that the 2005 Chaoulli Supreme Court of Canada case should be applicable in B.C. That case struck down Quebec’s ban on private insurance for medically necessary services. The private clinics are arguing that patients should be allowed to buy private health insurance to use in private clinics if the public system does not provide the services they need in a timely manner. “If they’re successful in their lawsuit, it opens the door to U.S.-style health insurance,” MacDonald said. The idea that Canada’s health-care
system is public is a myth, according to Dr. Brian Day, one of the plaintiffs in the current lawsuit. Canadian patients pay for healthcare services such as dentistry and pharmaceuticals, though that is not the case in many European countries, Day said in a phone interview after the forum, which he did not attend. Day is the former president of the Canadian Medical Association and founder of the private Cambie Surgical Centre. Family physicians are also private health-care providers, he pointed out. “Every doctor runs a private, forprofit business,” he said.

“These people need help,” she said. “These people deserve to have a home.” Canada is the only G8 country without a national homelessness plan, she added. “Canada is lagging behind in this area.”
The resolution calls for a clear strategy on homelessness with set goals, objectives, metrics and outcomes. The board of trade estimates that homelessness costs Canadian taxpayers between $4.5 and $6 billion annually in health care, criminal justice, social ser-
vices and emergency shelter funding. The resolution also states that each homeless person costs the public system $55,000 per year, which could be reduced to $37,000 with adequate housing and support services. The information is from the Centre for Applied Research in Mental Health and Addiction.

Farewell, Mr. Burnaby
Celebration of life will honour former mayor Alan Emmott Oct. 24 Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
They called him “Mr. Burnaby.” Former mayor Alan Emmott passed away on Sept. 20 from cancer. He died in his sleep at Burnaby Hospital. He was 89. “It’s a loss for Burnaby,” said former city councillor Celeste Redman. “He lived a long, very full life. A lot of what you see in Burnaby today is a result of Alan’s vision.” Emmott served more than 25 years in politics and was a founding member of the Burnaby Citizens’ Association. He was reeve (the old term for mayor) from 1958 to ‘68, and a city councillor in 1971 and again from 1974 to 1987. Redman visited Emmott in hospital and had a chance to talk about his legacy. Redman said he was most proud of a sewer bylaw and establishing Centennial Park, which now is the Burnaby Village Museum and part of Deer Lake Park. Emmott was behind a push to get all

Redman described Emmott as a humourous and charming visionary who knew Burnaby would grow. “He had vision. He could see a bigger picture. Not everybody does,” she said. “There are a few over the years in Burnaby who have made a big mark, and Alan was one of them.” Former councillor Gary Begin was a school trustee when Emmott was on city council. Begin said SFU was another big accomplishment that Emmott was proud of after he negotiated with for-
mer premier W.A.C. Bennett to have the university atop Burnaby Mountain. “Alan was in there like a bird, saying, ‘We’ve got a mountain. We’re nice and close. Put it up there,’ “ Begin said. Begin described Emmott as a compassionate person who cared deeply about what was happening to people. “He was a man of his word, and for a politician, that was ever so important. And, he was my friend,” Begin said. There will be a celebration of Emmott’s life on Oct. 24 at Bonsor Recreation Centre from noon to 5 p.m.

B.C. utility company will not outsource customer service and billing any longer, according to a press release from the company. Terasen Gas announced Wednesday that a new customer contact and billing operations centre would be located at Willingdon Park in Burnaby. The British Columbia Utilities Commission agreed earlier this year to move to an in-house customer service model with two new B.C.-based contact centres, and to establish a new customer information and billing system. The new contact centres and services are expected to be operational by January 2012, according to the release. “This locally-based customer contact and billing operations centre will (create) approximately 150 to 200 new jobs in the Lower Mainland,” said Michael Mulcahy, executive vice-president of customer and corporate services for Terasen Gas and Fortis B.C., in the release. “Our new contact centre is a part of our overall focus to serve our customers right here in B.C.” The facility was selected for energy efficiency, size, proximity to amenities and its accessibility for future employees by foot, bike or public transportation. Terasen Gas plans to lease two floors in the building, covering approximately 50,000 square feet. The business park includes a designated shuttle service to transport employees to and from both Gilmore and Brentwood Town centre SkyTrain stations during peak hours, and is close to Terasen Gas’ Burnaby operations centre. The building is to be fitted specifically for Terasen Gas’ in January 2011. Recruiting and hiring starts this fall and continues into 2011, according to the release. The Interior contact centre, announced in December 2009, is slated to be located in Prince George and employ more than 100 people.

Have your say on growth Metro Vancouver will hold public hearing this fall on regional growth strategy Janaya Fuller-Evans
staff reporter
Metro Vancouver released its regional growth strategy draft plan last week, prior to a public hearing planned for later this fall. The new plan would replace the Liveable Region Strategic Plan, which was adopted in 1996. The growth strategy pinpoints five primary goals: providing a clear urban footprint to prevent urban sprawl; ensuring enough land for housing, and plans for affordable housing in each municipality; protecting industrial land; keeping new development near transit centres; and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the region. The primary issue has been establishing what should fall under the regional government’s jurisdiction and what should be handled by municipalities, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan. “We’ve worked hard on this for the last four years and believe we have found the
right balance between what needs to be solved regionally and what issues are best left up to individual municipalities,” he said in a Metro Vancouver press release. Corrigan is also the chair of the Metro Vancouver regional planning committee. He could not be reached for comment on the plan before press time. One of the elements of this particular balancing act was determining how industrial land use should be regulated, and which government body should be in charge of regulating it. The current edition of the plan has changed since a draft was put forward in February 2009, which gave the regional government more control of industrial land use. The policy was changed in the newest draft. “The industrial lands protection policy was softened by broadening the range of appropriate uses and allowing each municipality to fine tune this in their regional context statements, changing the designation of some industrial lands to ‘mixed employment’ and introducing more municipal flexibility to re-designate lands at the margin of industrial areas, particularly around transit stations,” wrote Johnny Carline, acting co-manager of policy and planning for
Metro Vancouver, and division manager Christina DeMarco, in a August 13 report to the regional planning committee. Control of industrial zoning was an issue of concern to Burnaby city council, which included it in a list of requested changes to the draft plan last January. Burnaby council was also concerned about a regional tax-base sharing framework. The City of Vancouver was also against the framework, calling it “simplistic” in comments submitted to Metro Vancouver during last winter’s consultation with municipalities. Coun. Nick Volkow spoke out against the framework at a January council meeting, as some cities have more tax income from commercial properties while others have to keep land as agricultural or industrial space, and would contribute less tax revenue. “I find that surprising to see in the draft proposal,” Volkow said at the meeting, adding it looked like they “threw everything and the kitchen sink in there.” There wasn’t mention of the regional tax-base sharing framework in the most recent draft. Another issue brought forth in the Growth Page 15

Willingdon, in a press release. “It is rare for a single architectural firm to be involved in a project for so long and we believe the result is a consistent look and feel to the different phases, along with a sense of integration and unity in the project.” The project reflects the evolution of the province’s techindustry over the course of its development, he added. “We started on it as the tech boom got underway, and the tenant mix reflected the developments and the major players in that industry.” The project faced a variety of challenges, particularly environmental ones. The restoration of ecologically sensitive Still Creek affected the first five
phases of development. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan commented on the project’s completion in the press release as well. “Today marks the successful end to 25 years of innovative design and development. Willingdon Park gives our city a business site that is the envy of cities around the world. It has and will continue to be a focal point for the growth and development of leading-edge industry in Burnaby,” Corrigan said. E-Bay, Motorola, Ericsson and Electronic Arts have been tenants at the complex, though E-Bay closed its Burnaby facilities last year. Send your business tips to jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com.

newest version of the region plan was future transit projects. The plan proposes that rapid transit for Surrey be the next priority project for TransLink, after the Evergreen SkyTrain line is completed. Burnaby council has been pressing the provincial government to secure funding for the Evergreen Line, which would run from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre. The public hearing on the draft plan is slated to take place following first and second readings in November. The plan is intended to accommodate the additional one million residents expected in the region by 2040, according to the Metro Vancouver press release. “If all goes well, we will have a new strategy in place early in 2011,” Corrigan said.

◆ Pad Thai ($9.95) is a staple of any Thai meal, and Shu and his crew do a pretty job making a dish reminiscent of those you can get from a vendor on the streets of Bangkok. ◆ The spicy seafood soup ($10.55 for a large or $5.75 for a small) is probably the best and most adventurous of the soup selections. Generous prawns, scallops and crab make for a great way to start a meal. ◆ Priciest dish on the menu? $14.95 for either the marinated fish or mixed seafood, featuring prawns, squid, clams and mussels. If you love the fruits of the sea, go for these dishes you’d pay 50 per cent more elsewhere. Days Thai, 7245 Canada Way, is open seven days a week for dinner and from Monday to Saturday for lunch.

Natural Health and Beauty - a candid look at the spa & beauty industry Did you know that in the 5 minutes it takes to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin you may have exposed yourself to more than 50 synthetic, toxic chemicals? Many modern skin care products are chalk full of synthetic antibacterials, preservatives, thickeners, emulsifiers, colour, and fragrance that can strip natural oils, irritate and age you before you’re old. These same additives may be carcinogenic, create hormonal imbalances, or cause an allergic reaction. The average woman exposed herself to over 200 toxic chemicals a day. Let’s take a look at a few common products used at home and in spas. Cleansers To use old fashion soap and water to cleanse the skin is now considered too drying; when did this happen? Cosmetic companies have invented cleansing creams that utilize alcohols, and petroleum derivatives to remove the days grime. Solvent alcohols such as ethyl, methyl, and cetyl are used to dissolve fats, including the skin’s natural oils. Toners Toners are used to remove any residue left from the cleansers and to tighten pores. Closing the pores and balancing the PH of the skin is a great idea but at what expense? Plasticizers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sorbitol resins are often used in toners to give your skin that (tight) feeling. Unfortunately these ingredients can stay in the body for months. Astringents Astringents control oil production with high
percentages of alcohol disrupting the skins natural ph. Because of the high concentration of alcohol even the oiliest complexions are dry after use. However, with repetitive use these astringents cause the sebaceous glands to over compensate

Remember when you had to come up with reasons not to exercise?
PHOTO WMS
Making time for fitness may not be as hard as you think
a
You didn’t have your favourite running shoes, socks or hair elastic; you were tired of the music mix on your iPod; you thought you felt a sniffle coming on; or frankly, you just didn’t feel like it.
FLU SEASON IS AROUND THE CORNER Call us for upcoming clinics and Flu Shot details
As impossible as it seems, there are ways to add fitness back into your busy life, it simply requires flexibility and a bit of determination.
1. Set reasonable goals. Studies show that a little bit of exercise every day — even 30 minutes — helps to improve cardiovascular health, offer some measure of protection against Alzheimer’s disease, control blood-sugar levels in diabetes and stave off some cancers. But if 30 minutes a day is too daunting to begin with, start with less. Don’t let the notion that you must do all or nothing throw you off track. Aim to exercise two to three times a week, and add more sessions as you find ways to fit it in. 2. Be flexible with your workout schedule. Many fitness trainers recommend working out first thing. Morning exercisers are more consistent; getting it out of the way early means you’re less likely to be sidetracked by that busy schedule. But for many families, mornings are hectic and trying to squeeze a workout in is impossible. Research actually shows there are benefits to working out at any time of day. Make use of your lunch break — play a quick game of racquetball, make a speedy gym visit, go for a jog or take a brisk walk.

Those days are over. Now, even finding time to make up excuses is a luxury. You’ve got proposals and projects to finish, kids to pick up, bills to pay, meals to make; though you know working out is good for you, you don’t have time. Really.
Stick close to home or work when choosing your fitness centre. The convenience will help you stay on track. Even better, hit the gym before heading home. Studies show the optimal time to exercise is when body temperature is at its highest, which, for most people is 4 to 5 p.m.; strength and endurance are greater in the afternoon and injuries are the least likely. Even if you can’t make it to the gym or a yoga class until after dinner, don’t fret. One recent study showed that vigorous exercise even half an hour before bedtime did not affect sleep. 3. Keep it short and intense. In March, new research from scientists at McMaster University was published in The Journal of Physiology showing that short term high-intensity interval training (HIT) is a time-efficient but safe alternative to traditional types of exercise. HIT means doing a number of short bursts of intense exercise with short recovery breaks in between. The authors showed it produces the same physical benefits as conventional long duration endurance training

MOTORING What if your ex puts sugar in your gas tank? CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: So ... I’m pretty sure my ex put sugar in my gas tank. I’m positive about the sugar; can’t prove that he did it. But he’s crazy, and this happened the first night I had gone out on the town and was making public displays of affection with my new boyfriend. Anyway, the insurance company didn’t seem to think this was a very big problem and paid for me to get the filler tube and tank cleaned out and a new fuel pump. However, now that my ‘06
Xterra is back, when I get up to around 45 miles per hour and above, there is a shake and a thrumming sound in the car. And when the gas goes under one-third of a tank, the fuel gauge drops to “E.” Above that, the “Distance to Empty” computer reading does some weird things. Any idea if pulling out the tank and fuel pump could have contributed to these problems? I’m clueless, and I’d really like some backup for when I deal with the insurance company and shop so I don’t have to shell out more dough if I don’t have to. Thanks! – Marisia TOM: Note to all disgruntled and criminally insane ex-boyfriends and -husbands out there: Generally speaking, putting sugar in a gas tank will not harm an engine.

“Regular Joe” Plumber & Wife Speak Out and Reveal the Raw Truth About That Canadian “Multi-Millionaire,” Darren Weeks, and his How to Get Rich in Canada Seminars. What was mentioned were rock solid ideas, tips and strategies that Darren himself has put to use in his own life to create millions of dollars in income and equity in his businesses, investments and Real Estate. The man doesn’t like the Big Banks or Financial Planning companies very much, and he showed us why not. He opened our eyes to a whole different way of thinking about money and wealth – and most importantly, he inspired us to take action and go for it! Within a week of attending that event we decided to make Real Estate investing our vehicle to wealth (but Real Estate is not the only subject covered at Darren’s events – he also goes in depth about Business and investing). Over the next couple of months we got cracking and started buying our first investment properties.

He talks about Now I work at plumbing because I want to, not wrestling back control of your finances from the Big because I have to. While others in my field are Banks and Financial Planners. He says he teaches worried about the economy and impending work people how to buy Canadian Real Estate with “No shortages – all I can see is opportunity! And I know Money Down”, and many other “creative” money that if anything ever happened to me, we would be making ideas and so on. Every time I used to read one just fine with our Real Estate. Not only that, but we of his ads, I thought, “Who could be dumb enough to learned how to buy them right and at the right price, fall for this guy’s smoke & mirrors?” Now, I’m going and our Net Worth now officially makes us to tell you the raw truth about Darren Weeks and his millionaires twice over!

I had a Unlike most of those ‘pretend’ experts out there, he $15,000 line of credit that I honestly thought I’d never actually teaches stuff that works. He not only pay off. Then in 2001 I saw an ad for one of these teaches it – he does it! He walks his talk and has “Free Rich Dad” events. I had read “Rich Dad, Poor businesses, investments and lots of Real Estate. Dad” and I thought what the heck, maybe I should be Just like me, you’ve seen his ads in this paper a little more open minded – what can I lose at a ‘free’ before. You’ve gotten postcards from him. Or seminar anyway? But in the back of my mind I was maybe you’ve seen him on TV, or heard his ads on sure that they were going to try to get me all jazzed up the radio.

I had told myself that I would Maybe you think you’re too smart and know it only stay at the event until the “pitch” started, all, or that it is going to be a rip off, like I did. But if then I’d go home. you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich and happy? What Donna and I discovered at Darren’s “How to Maybe you are doing well already – but you could do Get Rich in Canada” seminar really shocked us. First better (many of Darren’s students are ‘retired’ in of all, I was waiting the whole time for the “other shoe their 30’s or 40’s).

About that you can relax. At this event happened. The most expensive thing I could buy there’s nothing for sale that’s more expensive there was a book – and they weren’t hardly mentioned. than a book – so leave your cheque book at home!

I did this as my way of saying thanks to Darren for everything he’s done for me and my family. And I’m not the only person who feels this way. Darren has spoken to over 200,000 Canadians at his events since he started in 2001. Many, just like me, are now making more money than they ever did before and are reaching their own financial dreams. My wife Donna just says “Wow!” about how much we have accomplished and how much more we are going to do and have. We continue to go to Darren’s events as often as we can, because we always learn something new, and meet great new people. All I can say is, “Don’t envy us. Join us” BRIAN LAUER, Kelowna, B.C.

Knights conquer Roadrunners 13-0 Alfie Lau reporter
There’s an old adage in sports that an ugly win is still better than a pretty loss. You can count St. Thomas More Knights head football coach Bernie Kully as a fan of that saying. “It was an ugly win, no doubt,” said Kully after his team went to 2-1 for the season after a 130 victory on Friday afternoon over the AA Mission Roadrunners. “I don’t think we played up to our potential but we’ll take the win.” The Knights led 7-0 on a first-half five-yard TD run by Elliot Nelson, but the game turned during two pivotal drives in the second half. The Knights were driving for an insurance TD and inside the Roadrunners 10yard line — largely on the strength of Nelson’s bruising interior running. But on a nicely designed play that saw Nelson faking a run right, Knights quarterback Mikey Carney was stopped on a fourthand-four bootleg down the left side. Starting from their own seven, Mission methodically drove the ball upfield, with Mission quarterback Tanner Pearce completing two long bombs, and running back Jesse Forcier pounding the ball to the Knights’ two-yard line. On first and goal, the Knights made their biggest play of the game. “Our Grade 11 linebacker Tim Jackson got a great hit on (Forcier) and the ball popped out for Ross (Hilliam),” said Kully. “It was a 99-and-a-half yard

Be like Mikey: Mikey Carney, starting quarterback for the STM Knights, seen here in a previous game, is becoming a leader for the squad that beat Mission 13-0 on Friday afternoon at Burnaby-Lake West. The Knights got scores from Elliot Nelson and Ross Hilliam to beat the number 3-ranked AA team in the province.

play. It was a nice drive and we were knocking on the door, but they made a play.” For the Knights, Carney’s maturation was on full display, both on the field and off. Despite only completing five-of-nine passes for 47 yards, Carney didn’t make the big mistake that would’ve brought Mission back into the game. “An ugly win but the defence saved us,” said Carney. “What we need to do is have a great week of practice before we go up to Rutland for our next game.” And on the fourthdown play that failed,
the Grade 11 QB took full responsibility. “I hesitated too much,” he said. “The blocks were there and Elliot took everybody to the other side of the field ... and I just hesitated.” And that culture of responsibility impresses Hilliam. “I’ve played basketball with Mikey for four years and he’s really growing into our leader,” said Hilliam, a Grade 12 student. “He’s a great athlete and it’s too bad I won’t get to play with him in his senior year.” Follow Alfie Lau at twit ter.com/AlfieLau
Simon Fraser University Clan junior cross-country runner Jessica Smith was recently named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Female Cross Country Athlete of the Week after winning the Sundodger Open in Seattle on Sept. 18 Smith’s win led the Clan women’s team to their first meet of the season, with the men putting in a fourth-place overall finish. “We had some great individual performances out of our women,” said SFU head coach Brit Townsend in a press release. “And fourth overall is a great performance at the start of the season for our men.” On the women’s side, Smith outpaced the field, completing the six-kilometre course in a time of 21:51.94, narrowly nipping teammate Angela Shaw, who finished second in a time of 21:25.69. Next for the Clan was sophomore Helen Crofts in fifth place, while freshman Lindsay Butterworth finished 13th. Rounding off the top seven for the Clan were sisters Michaela and Brianna Kane and Madeleine Barker, who finished 16th, 18th and 19th respectively. For the men, SFU captain Ryan Brockerville led the Clan with his eighthplace finish, completing the eight-kilometre course in a time of 25:17.45. Sophomore Keir Forster finished in 16th place, and Adam Reid finished 24th.
Washington Wildcats take out SFU’s Clan in third quarter Gabe Ephard did his part for the Simon Fraser University Clan, rushing for two touchdowns and 222 yards, but that wasn’t enough to beat the No. 22-ranked Central Washington Wildcats on Saturday afternoon at Fox Field. The Clan fell to 0-4 for the year, losing 44-30 in a highly entertaining offensive shootout. Ephard’s scores, a 64-yard scamper in the second quarter and a 70-yard run in the fourth quarter, were overshadowed by Wildcat Bryson Kelly’s 246 yards, the first time in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history that two backs have each gone over the 200-yard mark in a
game. Kelly finished with four TDs, making it seven touchdowns in the last two weeks of action after he scored three against Dixie State last weekend. “I thought we competed well and were right there with Central Washington, but we just let the game slip away in the third quarter,” said SFU head coach Dave Johnson in a press release. “Gabe was just outstanding today, and I thought our players did a fantastic job this week of being prepared, guys went out of their way to watch film and go the extra mile after practice. I thought we had a chance, but we just let it slip out of our hands with a
couple of key mistakes.” After the teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter, the game went to the half tied at 10 after field goals by Wildcat Sean Davis and the Clan’s Jeff Biles, a Burnaby native and Moscrop grad. The Wildcats jumped out to a 30-10 lead with 20 unanswered points in the second half before Ephard closed the gap to 13 with his second score of the game. The Wildcats answered with a long drive to restore the 20-point lead but the Clan used a bit of trickery to get their next score. Notre Dame grad Tore Corrado, now playing at wide receiver after being the
Jugglers starting quarterback last season, threw a 60-yard TD pass to teammate Ben Allen to get the Clan back to within 13, but the two squads traded TDs in the final minutes to get to the 44-30 final. SFU starting quarterback Ryan Schwartz was 18-for-34 for 165 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions. Allen finished as the Clan’s top receiver with 84 yards on three catches and one touchdown. The Clan are back in action this Saturday when they host Dixie State for Homecoming at Fox Field. alau@burnabynow.com

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Paris Jackson - 19 I was born and raised in North Vancouver and live year-round in the Lower Mainland with my family – so I suppose you could call me a true hometown Lion! I began playing football while attending high school at Carson Graham Secondary and it became my passion – in fact, I set the school’s single-game record for most rushing yards and touchdowns. From early on, I knew I wanted football to be in my future, so focusing on that goal kept me motivated to get good grades and attend university so I’d have the best opportunity to realize my dream. Following my college career at Utah, I was fortunate to be drafted by my hometown BC Lions – a team that I had been inspired by since childhood. After eight seasons with the Black and Orange, I can tell you that having this job is a dream come true. I was fortunate to be part of the team that brought the Grey Cup home to BC in 2006 – the warm welcome we received when we stepped off the plane is a feeling I’ll never forget. As a lifelong B.C. resident, I know British Columbians love their football, which is why it is my mission to do whatever I can on offence to win another championship for the CFL’s best fans. Growing up, I remember what it felt like to look to professional athletes for inspiration, which is a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community initiatives. Among the programs I take part in, I would say the Timbits Camp is one of the most rewarding because it gives me a good feeling to teach young kids about the game I love and was introduced to right here in British Columbia.
