Light rail costs can’t be foundTransLink’s response like ‘the dog ate my homework’: JordanWanda [email protected]

A year after Burnaby council rst asked TransLink to explain how it came up with its 2006 cost estimate for the proposed light-rail (LRT) version of the Evergreen line, it nally got its answer.

TransLink can’t nd the numbers.

Council originally made its request to TransLink but the transportation authority said it couldn’t answer the question because the provincial government is now in charge of the Evergreen line project.

So the response came from Kevin Richter, assistant deputy minister in the infrastructure department of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

“TransLink did an extensive search for this information but was unable to locate the breakdown of costs associated with LRT technology from the 2006 business case,” Richter wrote.

Jim Davies is hoping to participate in Sunday’s Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx in Penticton.

Hardly an achievement for someone who rides his bike up to 12,000 kilometres a year, and represented Canada at the 1954 British Empire Games in Vancouver and the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.

But eight months ago Davies was wondering if he’d ever ride a bike again.

That’s when a road-raging motorist

left him at the side of the road, along a popular cycling route in Steveston, his pelvis shattered.

The injury, he says, was “about as bad as it could be.”

Two surgeries to rebuild his pelvis with three plates and nine screws and then replace his hip put his body back together.

His spirit was another matter.“I thought it was the end of my

cycling career,” says Davies, 78, who started racing bikes in Stanley Park when he was 14 years old and won the rst race ever held at the China Creek

track in Vancouver.Even after he stopped racing,

Davies was never far from bikes. In 1974 he and a partner bought Jubilee Cycle on Imperial Street.

Though he turned the shop over to his son Neil more than 12 years ago, he’s still involved as a co-owner. And he still rides almost every day.

Until his fateful accident last October, while on a leisurely ride with his other son, Gary.

Davies says like most cyclists, he’s had plenty of close calls and near misses in his years riding around

Metro Vancouver. But as cycling has become

increasingly popular he says the awareness of cyclists on the road by motorists has actually improved in recent years.

That’s why he never expected to be on the blunt end of a motorist’s anger on a road usually busy with cyclists on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Though police attended the scene, the driver was never charged.

Calls on public to provide feedback to amend proposals, like in 2002Wanda [email protected]

Proposed changes to federal electoral boundaries could give an additional seat to Burnaby in the House of Commons.

Whether the boundaries make sense otherwise is still up in the air.

Burnaby-Douglas, currently represented by New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart, would become Burnaby North-Seymour and include North Vancouver District east of Lynn Creek.

Burnaby South-Deer Lake would comprise most of Burnaby south of Lougheed Highway.

Meanwhile, New Westminster-Burnaby East would include most of the Edmonds neighbourhood, roughly that section east of Grif ths and Sperling avenues and south of the Trans-Canada Highway, and all of the New Westminster mainland.

Currently, the Royal City is split into two ridings along Eighth Street, Burnaby-New Westminster, held by New Democrat MP Peter Julian, and New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, represented by the NDP’s Fin Donnelly.

Under the proposal, however, the Queensborough neighbourhood would become part of Richmond East.

The redistribution of federal ridings happens every 10 years to factor in the latest population numbers from the census. British Columbia will receive six additional seats bringing its total to 42. The “electoral quota” in B.C. is 104,763 residents per riding.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia “provisionally concluded” population growth on the North Shore made it necessary to amalgamate North

GOVERNMENT OF CANADAThe proposed Burnaby North - Seymour riding would include the eastern portion of North Vancouver District.

Proposed electoral boundary changes ‘strange’: Julian

Burnaby and part of North Vancouver.

“This alteration was considered by our predecessors on the 2002 electoral boundaries commission, but ultimately not recommended in view of certain objections,” the commission said in its proposal report. “However, given the population growth in the North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Sunshine Coast areas, as well as the parliamentary mandate to create six new electoral districts (mostly on both sides of the Fraser River east of Vancouver), we believe the alteration can no longer be postponed.”

Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian said his reaction is the same as the many people who spoke to him at Canada Day events.

“A lot of people came up and expressed some real

concerns about what they consider to be very strange groupings,” Julian said of the proposed new electoral districts.

He believes there will be a lot of public interest in providing feedback to the commission so they can “make what folks consider to be more appropriate riding boundaries.”

This is simply a rst draft, he said. “I wouldn’t

in any way think this is a done deal.”Back in 2002, he noted, the original

proposal was to combine not only North Burnaby and North Vancouver, but also New Westminster with North Surrey.

“There was a lot of reaction from the community there ... Those changes were both pushed back.”

While some media reports say the Conservatives would have won more seats if the proposed ridings were around for the last election, Julian said he doesn’t see that as an issue, stressing the NDP are gaining support in areas they didn’t before.

“It’s not the support that’s an issue as much, is it appropriate to group SFU with North Vancouver and the North Burnaby community with North Vancouver? I think last time, 10 years ago when we went through this exercise, the public said very clearly not,” Julian said.

“Separating Queensborough away from New Westminster and putting it with Richmond, is that an appropriate approach? My sense from the community is no, that isn’t.”

Julian said the next draft will likely be considerably different, and then he’ll speak with people in the ridings to decide which electoral district to run in.

“I’m certainly interested in running in the next campaign,” he said with a laugh.

The commission will hold public hearings beginning in September to gather feedback on the proposed changes.

In Burnaby, it will be held Thursday, Oct. 18, 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express Metrotown.

Anyone wishing to make a presentation at a hearing or submit a comment should inform the commission in writing no later than Aug. 30. For more information visit http://bit.ly/LngY2J.

Essentially, that response equates to “the dog ate my homework,” said Coun. Colleen Jordan at a recent council meeting. “I just burst out laughing when I read the letter.”

The information request was in response to questions Burnaby city staff raised about the decision to go with SkyTrain instead of light rail, which is generally considered to be less expensive.

“One of the things [staff] couldn’t quite come to grips with was the difference in the price of light rail that was in the TransLink business case of 2006 and then the price that was quoted in 2008 when it was said it would hardly be any more money at all to go to SkyTrain technology,” Jordan said.

The difference in the cost of light rail between the 2006 and 2008 business cases was 44 per cent more in the latter, about $400 million.

Jordan noted that $400 million was roughly the amount TransLink had to make up with a higher gas tax, a potential property tax hike and cuts in service to get the Evergreen line project serving the Tri-Cities off the ground.

For the province’s part, Richter said the 2008 business case, developed jointly by TransLink and the ministry, included a more in-depth analysis of construction requirements which

added to the second cost estimate. “In addition, the assumed project date of the

2006 report was based on a 2007 construction start while the 2008 report was based on a 2010 construction start,” he wrote. “The 32 month shift in an overheated construction market created an escalation of costs that signi cantly contributed to the overall cost of construction.”

As a result, the estimated cost of LRT was increased and once compared to the cost of using SkyTrain technology and factoring in costs of operation, maintenance “and the overall bene t to the citizens using the Evergreen line,” SkyTrain was chosen, Richter said.

But Jordan wasn’t buying it.

“In a period of 16 months the cost of that project increased by 44 per cent and they can’t explain that away other than they say it was a hot market then for construction costs,” she said. “I don’t think [city hall] experienced an increase like that for things we were building around the city as far as construction costs.”

While Jordan said the project is supposed to cost $970 million, according to a recent Evergreen Line project newsletter, the rapid transit line is estimated to cost $1.4 billion. Construction on the line, which will run from Lougheed Town Centre to Douglas College in

Coquitlam, is currently in the early stages.On the lost numbers from the 2006 business

case, Mayor Derek Corrigan quipped, “Maybe somebody left it on a bus, they should check the lost and found.”

He added that “2008 coincides when they brought in the private sector board [for TransLink], I think. I don’t see how a corporation can lose the business case that supported a billion dollar project.”

Jordan said, “Something like this is absolutely shocking and leads me to think they never had a business case in the rst place. Or maybe they’re just making it all up as they go along and trying to sell us a bill of goods.”

Cost estimate up 44% in two years

ARTIST RENDERINGLight rail was explored in the early stages of planning for the Evergreen Line, which will link Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby with Coquitlam Centre. It was shelved as an idea, and the project is now to be an elevated line with SkyTrain technology, much more expensive to build.

“I was really down,” says Davies of his long recovery that included six months on crutches. “I couldn’t even walk, let alone think about cycling.”

But as he endured months of grueling physiotherapy, riding his bike again was never far from his mind. It’s what kept him going.

On April 1, he nally got back on the bike. The six-month layoff was the longest he’d endured in 64 years.

“It was scary,” says Davies of that rst ride. “It was nerve wracking to get into traf c again.”

While he still has trouble walking, Davies is again a familiar sight riding through Burnaby, New Westminster and along River Road out to Richmond. He says he sticks to at routes because hills still give

his rebuilt hip trouble.And he’s a little more wary

about road riding’s unexpected dangers.

“I never really thought that could happen,” says Davies. “It can happen to anybody.”

I’ll call them Alice and Adam, and Brianna and Brett. The mums are in their late twenties and the boys are three years old. They don’t know each other. Our ight is cancelled and we are all stuck in the airport dimension for the day.

Alice loves her iPhone and ignores her son, Adam. She bends over the phone for most of the time as we wait. He asks a thousand questions, but doesn’t get an answer. He has no toys or books. He climbs over and under the rows of chairs, he plays with the drinking fountain, he has chips and a can of pop. He whispers to himself.

Brianna answers her son Brett’s questions. She points out the action on the tarmac: men, luggage and trucks. They count planes and discuss airline logos. While mum reads the newspaper Brett pulls cars from his backpack. He shares a book with the lady two seats over. He has grapes and offers some to Adam, but Adam turns away.

Now that’s a surprise; I thought he would have wanted a playmate. Don’t most kids like grapes? Alice looks up from her iPhone for a

moment but doesn’t speak. Adam returns to stroking the wall as he paces the perimeter of the room. Hours later, vouchers in hand, we meet the mums and sons in the restaurant. Hallelujah! Alice has put her phone away! She helps her son at the buffet table; she talks with him and hugs him in the booth as they eat. For 25 minutes Adam has her attention, and he loves it. He is beaming as she answers his questions, and they laugh when he tosses spaghetti at the window. Alice smiles at him and he kisses her cheek.

Brianna reminds Brett about sitting while he eats, and wipes up spilled juice without a reprimand. He talks to the waitress and plays peek-a-boo with me between the booths. He goes for the pineapple and the meatballs. He brings me a

stful of carrot sticks and scoots away, shy again.

After lunch Alice goes to a computer terminal while her son plays on the carpeted oor beside her. He rolls and twists, puts his feet up the wall, daydreaming and happy in his own world. We pass them as we leave an hour and a half later. I offer Adam a toy car and he looks to his mum for approval. But she says, “No, thanks.”

Brianna follows Brett as he looks at First Nations art in glass cases. She tells him about narwhals and seals, hunters in kayaks, and Inuit families of stone. Brett waves to a young woman driving a motorized cart for disabled passengers. He gets a short and joyful ride. He heads for the kiosks and Brianna hurries to catch up as he grabs a chocolate bar. He pouts at her “No, put it back please,” and has a little tantrum when he is denied. Brianna crouches, and talks to him until he settles. In the seats in the corner she pulls out her iPad. He claps his hands and dives right in to play his games. Brianna works with him and they talk as they play. She looks tired, but then we all look

tired. Brett has a 15-minute nap.Alice and Adam return to the

waiting room. She walks ahead focused on her iPhone, texting with one hand as he hangs on to her leg. She gently moves him off, never making eye contact. He rips into another bag of chips.

Two boys, two mums, seven hours in an airport. You can’t predict for children how they will do in school, how they will experience life as they grow. But I predict this: Brett will have better language skills than Adam. He will interact more easily and learn more readily because of his con dence with language. Reading will be easier; he owns books, and he already thinks he can read. He has a good model in his mother; she reads, she interacts with other adults, and she responds to him—a big plus in school and in life.

Mothers come in all stripes: a helicopter mum or a Negligent-Mother-of-the-Week winner, or a regular mum who is doing her best to be a good mother in her own manner.

Whatever. You still have to talk to your child.

Whatever you do, talk to your child

Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to ght another day.

While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association.

True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom.

Still, it’s unlikely teachers will be satis ed given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out more money does make a difference to in the classroom — though there will never be enough cash to solve every issue.

Readers—especially those who have dealt with Alzheimers disease—should know that Greater Vancouver possesses an excellent facility for the care/treatment of advanced Alzheimers.

The Delta View Habilitation Centre, a private facility under contract with Fraser Health, provides high-quality—indeed, world-class care for dif cult dementia cases which cannot be handled elsewhere. Unique in the Fraser Health system, it is widely respected in the Alzheimers community.

What readers may not know is that this unit is scheduled to close effective April 2013, leaving Fraser Health residents without a dedicated facility for high-level residential Alzheimers care.

The issue is budget. High-level care is expensive. Delta View operates at a cost/bed already low by national/international standards. They absorbed recent cuts of around 10 per cent.

Fraser Health now demands additional cuts.

My wife suffers from

Alzheimers. We coped at home for eight years. In 2009, Ruth entered a regular Alzheimers residential facility. When her behaviour became unmanageable in spring 2011, she was transferred to Riverview for medical “stabilization.”

When Riverview closed last fall, she moved again—to Oceanside (White Rock).

We were admitted to Delta View in May of this year.

I felt we had reached the promised land.

The promised land is now being shut down. How has this been allowed to happen?

HOW DOES THAT WASH?When it was discovered that

senior management at Community Living BC were giving themselves huge bonuses while cutting services and closing group homes, Premier Christy Clark red then-minister Harry Bloy, and with new minister Stephanie Cadieux came on TV to announce the cancellation of those

“disgusting” bonuses. I guess I did not notice the

“nudge, nudge, wink, wink” Clark and Cadieux made during that announcement because now we discover that Clark and Cadieux have just added those “bonuses” into senior management’s base pay, giving ve and 10 per cent raises to managers already making six- gure salaries, while there is a net-zero mandate for front-line workers, and services are being cut, and disabled people put out onto the street.

Since your provincial affairs columnist Tom Fletcher is the local BC Liberal apologist, I would love to see him spin doctor this one into a positive, and explain how making rich management richer helps the 18-year-old disabled person whose services are being taken away.

A CALLOUS BLOW TO REFUGEES

Health care workers across Canada are vigorously protesting a legislative bill recently passed by the Harper government that is

not getting as much media play as it deserves. Bill C-31 amended the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) and brought to an end medication bene ts to refugees while they wait to qualify for provincial health care coverage.

This bridging coverage is rarely needed for more than 12 months, but it is crucial for those with chronic and acute illnesses and no or little means to pay for medications themselves. By discontinuing the IFHP the federal government might as well have said that the responsibility of Canada - a country built on immigration - ends with the granting of refugee status.

Part of the government’s argument is that the change will save about $10 million a year. That’s not only heartless, but it’s false economizing.

First, denying medicinal bene ts to a segment of the population establishes an underclass in healthcare entitlement. Secondly, there will be a cost to hospitals as those with unmedicated conditions repeatedly turn up in emergency wards.

In other words, any federal cost savings will be made at the expense of provincial budgets.

Winston Churchill is credited with saying, “You measure the degree of civilization of a society by how you treat its weakest members.”

As a life-long Conservative, he’d no doubt be appalled that a party of the same name would act in such a callous manner.

SOME VICTORYSo the Americans think they won

the War of 1812, eh? Strange kind of victory; they

were defeated at Queenstown Heights, chased out of the Niagara Peninsula, Detroit was occupied and their capital burned.

I think they had better check their history.

The best they could claim would be a tie, which given their grandiose expectations counts as a defeat.

W hen I mounted the river stone steps of the Burnaby

Art Gallery for the first time, I was aware of the BAG’s stellar reputation for presenting thought-provoking and innovative exhibitions at historic Ceperley Mansion.

On viewing their new exhibition, The Gaze of History: Portraits from the Collection with Drawing Installation, I was delighted to nd an intriguing mix of real and imagined faces of the former inhabitants of Ceperley Mansion drawn on the walls by contemporary Vancouver artist Elizabeth MacKenzie.

Thought-provoking is almost an understatement for this exhibition.

MacKenzie’s subtle powdered graphite portraits complement and contrast with over 70 portraits selected from the Burnaby Art Gallery’s Permanent Art Collection. The Gaze of History probes the conventions of portraiture and the exchange of the gaze through drawing, printmaking, photography and painting. Picasso, Jack Shadbolt, Peter Morin and Ann Kipling are only a few of the distinguished artists represented in the BAG’s collection who will create dialogue between MacKenzie’s artworks, the past and present, the mansion and its uses, and most importantly between visitors as they engage with the artwork and string together narratives and ideas about the gaze.

The overall effect creates a mysterious atmosphere that is sure to captivate everyone. It seems the man in Picasso’s print “Pour Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler” is certainly as intrigued as I am to meet the mansion’s former

inhabitants drawn by MacKenzie. The Gaze of History refers

to the fascinating history of Burnaby’s Ceperley Mansion. The portraits make reference to the mansion’s former inhabitants from 1910-1966 prior to its conversion to the Burnaby Art

Gallery in 1967. These real and imagined faces con rm the elusive nature of the past.

Visitors to the gallery will develop their own stories when they interact with the faces as they play against the other art work hanging on the walls. Visitors may be surprised as the drawing installation extends beyond the gallery walls and faces mysteriously appear throughout the mansion, capturing the essence of its history giving an ethereal and timeless quality to the portraits even though, like history, they too will eventually disappear.

Visitors are invited to join MacKenzie for a free Artist Talk on Sunday, July 15 at 1 p.m. or view The Gaze of History: Portraits from the Collection with Drawing Installation at the gallery, 6344 Deer Lake Ave. until Aug. 26. Admission by donation. www.burnabyartgallery.ca

Opium bust leads to arrestOne person has been arrested after Burnaby

RCMP seized several kilograms of raw opium from a Burnaby home recently. The Burnaby RCMP drug section received a tip from Canada Border Services Agency, which led to the seizure of the illicit drugs, which were enough for about 100,000 doses.

The investigation used surveillance and search warrants. Police are not releasing the name of the suspect as the investigation is continuing.

The seized opium, which can be converted into heroin, is believed to have originated from the Middle East. The smoking of opium, known as “chasing the dragon,” is rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly among teenagers, say Burnaby RCMP.

“While smoking opium may appeal to some as being less harmful than using heroin, the harmful effects of opium use can include respiratory dif culties, coma, cardiac collapse and dependence,” warned Burnaby RCMP drug section’s Sgt. Scott Rintoul.

As soon as Curtis Moss of Burnaby stepped off the track after completing his nal javelin throw at the Canadian Olympic track and eld trials in Calgary on Friday an Athletics Canada of cial handed him a note.

The piece of paper told him where and when the Canadian Olympic Track and Field team would meet. It was a little bit of procedural information, but it meant much more than that to Moss. The reason he was being given the info was because by winning the event he had stamped his passport for London to compete for his country in the 2012 Summer Games next month.

A dream had come true even though many would have thought it wasn’t possible several months ago, at least not for 2012.

“I started crying like a baby for about two days straight. It’s nally just starting to sink in now. So nally I can put my head down and start working

again,” said Moss in a phone interview Tuesday from Edmonton where he was visiting his girlfriend before heading off to two more competitions in Eastern Canada in the next week.

The 25-year-old Burnaby Central grad wasn’t the only one that was crying. So was mom Jeanie and proud pop Leroy, a former Canadian Football League running back with the Edmonton Eskimos and B.C. Lions.

Moss had to meet some tough and complicated criteria to qualify. A recent tweaking of technique by Don Steen, who is both Moss’s old and new coach, helped him to meet the high ‘B’ standard set by Athletics Canada at both the Harry Jerome Classic at Swangard Stadium last month and an event in Victoria, which he set a personal best of 81.21 metres.

Those results came on the heels of some very good ones at international events in Germany, Morocco and Puerto Rico. Those followed his hooking back up with Steen, a Burnaby athlete and coaching legend who rst began coaching Moss when he was in Grade 10 at Central. Following setting a record at the 2005 provincial high school championship, Moss cut short collegiate participation at Simon Fraser University and Southeastern Louisiana State because the coaching situations didn’t work out. He returned home to go to UBC, but 18 months ago he gave Steen a call.

“He’s had a real breakout year,” said Steen. “For us to rejoin and go back to square one and twig his training and technical stuff is something he wanted to do, and it worked out OK with him making the Olympic team.”

Moss said hooking up with Steen, father of Olympic decathlete gold medallist Dave Steen, has been comfortable.

“Getting back with Don, I really feel like it was the best for me athletically, but also mentally. It was just a way better t than all of the different situations I was in,” said Moss.

Moss will participate in the provincial championship on July 13 in Coquitlam before heading off to the Athletics Canada training camp in Germany on July 22. Steen is working on nding a way nancially

to accompany him because he won’t be allowed in the Olympic Village or in the training facilities once the team arrives in London.

The Burnaby Lakers let a golden opportunity get away from them at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday.

The visiting Victoria Shamrocks erased a 9-4 de cit by scoring the game’s nal seven goals to defeat the Lakers 11-9. The loss left the Lakers in third place with a 5-5-2 record and two fewer points than the Shamrocks (7-3-0).

Burnaby got their lead by scoring the rst four goals of the second period. Carlton Schuss had three goals for the Lakers with singles going to Scott Tinning, Colton Clark, Dane Stevens, Casey Jackson, Jackson Decker and Peter McFetridge.

Dan Lewis made 36 saves in the Burnaby net as both teams registered 47 shots on goal.

The Lakers play host to the New Westminster Salmonbellies tonight (Friday) starting at 7:45. They don’t play again until next Friday when the Nanaimo Timbermen come to town. The faceoff for that game is 7 p.m.

Juniors swamped by A’s, ’RocksThe Canada Day long weekend was not kind to the

Burnaby Jr. Lakers getting outscored 27-10 in two games.

On Sunday, the rst-place Coquitlam Adanacs defeated the Lakers 15-6 at Bill Copeland Arena. The nal score was actually closer than reality since the A’s led 12-2 and held a 43-19 shot advantage after two periods. In the third, Burnaby managed to outshoot Coquitlam 17-7 with Wade Galbraith scoring the Lakers’ nal three goals on the powerplay.

Peyton Lupul, Bailey Matthew and Josh Simons also scored for Burnaby.

The previous night in Victoria, the Shamrocks beat the Lakers 12-4. James Baker, Jaeden Gastaldo, Connor Buick and Colton Dow got the Burnaby goals.

The Lakers are last in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League with a (3-16-0) record and complete the regular season with a game tonight (Friday) in Port Coquitlam and at home against New Westminster on Sunday (7 p.m.).

Lighthouse tourney to shineThe third annual Lighthouse 7’s rugby tournament

will hit the elds at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club on Saturday.

The host club teams are the defending champions in both the men’s and women’s elite divisions. On the men’s side, Puget Sound from Washington State will feature two teams and will be led by former Fijian national player Waisele Serevi.

The women’s division includes two teams from Seattle, including the Mudhens who won a recent 7’s tournament in Vancouver.

• Despite Burnaby Lake’s Julia Sugawara scoring a try and converting it, Ontario defeated British Columbia 26-12 in the national women’s league championship nal in Quebec City.

Haberl helps outBurnaby’s Kelsey Haberl started off a last-inning

rally that propelled Canada to the bronze medal at softball’s World Cup in Oklahoma City.

With Canada trailing the Netherlands 8-7, Haberl led off the bottom of the seventh inning by getting on base when she was hit by a pitch. She later came around to score on a bunt by Joey Lye to tie the game with two out. North Delta’s Jenn Yee followed that up by slamming a three-run homer to give Canada an 11-8 victory.

Haberl had another hit in the game and nished the tournament with a .333 batting average.

Canada began play at the Canadian Open in South Surrey against New Zealand on Wednesday. The tournament continues through the weekend before the national team goes to Whitehorse for the world women’s championship.

Mountain United takes titleMountain United, a combination of players from

Burnaby and North Vancouver, blanked Coquitlam-Metro Ford 2-0 to capture the under-16 girls provincial Premier Cup soccer nal at Minoru Park in Richmond on Sunday.

In other nals, Mountain’s U14 girls squad was defeated 2-1 by South Fraser while the U16 boys lost 1-0 to Surrey United on Saturday.

“ We’ll get you back on the road.”



The Giro di Burnaby is more than just a pack of lean athletes in tight spandex risking life, limb and serious road rash as they speed their lithe carbon bre bicycles around a tight 1.3 kilometre course on

unforgiving pavement.If that’s not enough to get your adrenaline

pumping, the Giro is also a celebration of the Burnaby Heights community and its rich Italian heritage.

Burnaby councillor Pietro Calendino, one of the race’s original exponents, says it’s a chance for some of the neighbourhood’s longtime residents to reconnect with their homeland.

“It’s a great sense of pride and reconnecting with childhood memories,” says Calendino who recalls endless debates with his friends as to who was the greatest Italian cyclist, Fausto Coppi or Gino Bartali, as the country was riveted by the annual three-week spectacle of the Giro d’Italia.

“There’s an attachment to the sport. It’s a passion inside you that you can’t describe.”

That attachment has taken on a new dimension this year, as Victoria’s Ryder Hesjedal became the rst Canadian to win the Pink Jersey that is awarded to the champion of Italy’s grand tour.

“When I’m walking down the street, people are always asking me ‘when is the Giro?’” says Calendino of the excitement and interest generated by Hesjedal’s historic victory.

“This will be the best year ever for the Giro.”

Even if tomato sauce doesn’t

course through your veins and a photo of Fausto Coppi doesn’t have a place of pride on your mantle, there’s still plenty to be excited about, says Rainy Kent, the Giro’s organizer.

The countdown to the Giro kicks off with a screening of The Hard Road, a lm about the hardscrabble existence of a North American bike racing team, at the Confederation Seniors Centre on July 5.

Kent’s also working with HUB, a non-pro t cycling society, to create events for kids prior to the race.

Local merchants in the Heights are also being encouraged to throw open their doors and contribute to the party; many are sponsoring “primes” which offer special cash bonuses to the winners of speci c laps and some of the restaurants are contributing to the volunteers’ dinner.

“It’s fabulous to have this event in our neighbourhood,” says Kent.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEBurnaby councillor Pietro Calendino, who helped get the ball rolling on the rst Giro di Burnaby, cheers on the women’s race.

NEWSLEADER FILECyclist Chris McKillican watches the men’s peloton speed by at a past Giro di Burnaby.

Tips for spectators watching a CriteriumWHY IS EVERYBODY RACING IN A TIGHT BUNCH?

Bicycle racers go faster and save energy by drafting one another, bene ting from a similar kind of pull that Nascar racers get by drafting each other. When the cyclists are stretched out that means that the racer’s at the front of the pack are really going fast and that the rest of the eld are drafting off those riders, while struggling to stay together. When the racers are bunched up, that means that the pack has slowed down, but that is when a breakaway is most likely to happen!

ARE THERE TEAM TACTICS?

Yes. Riders are part of a team with one or two designated “leaders,” or riders capable of winning the race. The rest of the team protects the leaders from crashes, keeps them at the front of the pack, and positions them for the nal sprint.

WHAT’S THE BELL-RINGING ALL ABOUT?

The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/ nish line on the NEXT lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the nal standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging.

Giro di Burnaby

Friday, July 6, 2012 NewsLeader A13


To the casual observer standing behind the barriers along Hastings Street, the Giro di Burnaby looks like a pack of sinewy cyclists with unnaturally thick thighs trying to power their way to the front of the colourful pack.

May the fastest man win.But there’s a lot more going on

than sheer strength.The Giro di Burnaby is a

criterium race. Unlike a road race where the

peloton speeds from one town to another over the course of a long day in the saddle, rarely passing the same point twice, a criterium is held on a small, closed circuit that riders will lap dozens of times in about 90 minutes. It makes for plenty of thrills and chills and occasional spills as the racers jockey for position, exchange the lead and lean into tight, fast turns.

To get to the front and stay there, though, takes a lot of team work and strategy.

Most cyclists entered in the Giro will be part of a team. Working together they can save energy by dictating the pace of the peloton or drafting

off each other, much like race cars in NASCAR.

“If you have an idea about the strategy, you have a better idea about is going on during the racing,” says Rainy Kent, the Giro’s organizer.

That strategy can include a team putting a rider in a breakaway that is trying to pull away from the main peloton so rival teams have to tire themselves out as they chase it down.

Teams trying to catch a breakaway ride in a line, each cyclist creating a slipstream for the teammate behind them, saving them valuable strength so the group can pedal faster for longer.

Riders without teammates will

often latch on to teams, or form alliances amongst themselves to gain the bene ts of working as a team.

“It’s a team sport,” says Kent. “You learn to appreciate how

these teams work together.”The race is also enlivened as

the racers sprint to the nish line at the end of some laps to win special cash prizes, or “primes,” sponsored by Heights’ merchants.

“It gives them exposure,” says Kent of the business involvement. “It’s a fabulous way to say thank you.”

And as dusk descends, listen for the bell.

That’s the signal to the racers that they’re on the last lap and it’s make it or break it time.

Bosa Properties is bringing innovation to one of life’s little annoyances with its automated parking system at its Jameson House development in Coal Harbour.

“The parking garage would have been 12 levels” if Bosa had gone with a conventional parking system, says Senior Vice-President Daryl Simpson.

There are 250 parking spots in the development, and two transfer stations to move the cars. Simpson says the wait time to park and retrieve the car is about two minutes, but it depends on how many others are waiting.

“It’s quicker than driving around and around,” he says, adding that this

system is the first of its kind in Canada, and the second-largest in North America.

Homeowners pull into the garage and drive their car onto one of the stations. Then, you lock their car and type in your PIN. You can then go up to your home while the machines move the car into one of the spaces below. When you want to retrieve your car, you go back to the garage and type in your PIN. Your car will appear, and you’re on your way.

The homes at Jameson House are now sold out, but with the popularity of the automated parking system, it’s only a matter of time until the technology is used elsewhere.

by Kerry Vital

Whether you’re looking for a vacation spot for the whole family or a place to retire after years of hard work, you need look no further than The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, located right on the shores of the beautiful lake.

“We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren, Partner of Van Maren Construction Group. “Most people from B.C., and many from Alberta, are familiar with Osoyoos and have vacationed there in the past. A property like The Cottages just can’t be purchased in the Okanagan.”

With over 1,500 feet of waterfront, 500 feet of beach, two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse, 20 acres of lawn, boat slips and walking trails, the Cottages are the perfect spot for families of all sizes.

There are three different styles of home available, Van Maren says, and thus truly something for everyone.

“The Meadow homes are most appealing for second-home buyers,” he says. “They have lots of open space between the homes where younger children can play with newly made friends. You’re never more than a few minutes walk to the lake and clubhouse.”

The Lakeside homes are made for people who want to live right on the water, while the Hillside homes appeal to those looking for somewhere to live year-round, and are larger.

There are 14 different two- to four-bedroom floorplans to choose from, ranging from 1,281 square feet

including the screened porch and open deck to over 3,000 square feet.

Expansive windows on every home and cottage let the natural light pour in and allow you a beautiful view of your surroundings, while the nine-foot ceilings contribute to a great sense of space, no matter the floorplan or how many visitors you have. You will never feel cramped in the homes at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. All of the homes offer wood-clad vaulted ceilings.

Vinyl-plank flooring throughout the main living space (with hardwood as an optional upgrade) is ready to stand up to plenty of foot traffic, while the plush carpeting on the upper floors is soft and luxurious.

Each home includes a Wireless Smart Home Automation/Security system, which allows you to remotely access your cottage from your smartphone, computer or tablet. It gives you the ability to lock or unlock your doors,

adjust the thermostat and view the inside of your home from a video camera in the centre of the home.

The Lakefront homes include some upgrades as standard items, including hardwood floors on the main level and granite countertops in the kitchen, among several other things.

The screened porches at the Cottages are referred to as summer rooms, and overlook the landscape. They are perfect for a mid-summer snooze, catching up with a good book or a quiet cup of coffee watching the sunrise.

There is no shortage of ways to wile away your time in Osoyoos. The surrounding area itself is rich in things to do, from touring the amazing nearby wineries to floating around on Osoyoos Lake. Hiking and biking trails are

abundant, or you can book a round of golf at one of the golf courses. If you’re around in the winter, winter sports on Mount Baldy are only about 40 minutes away, or you can venture a bit farther afield to Penticton’s Apex Mountain.

The price has been one of the biggest draws for people who have already purchased a cottage.

“Where else could you get a 930-square-foot detached home, a three-minute barefoot walk from the lake for under $305,000, including all applicable taxes?” asks Van Maren. “Our prices are lower than many new apartment condos that aren’t even on the water.”

Cottages start at $305,000. For more information, visit osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

Submitted photosThe Cottages on Osoyoos Lake feature wood-clad vaulted ceilings, above, and vinyl-plank flooring thoughout the main living areas, left. Outside, the expansive windows let the light pour in. Many homes are just a barefoot walk from the lake, top, making them the perfect vacation spot.

The government has announced that as of July 9, 2012, new rules will apply to government-backed insured mortgages where the borrower has less than a 20% down payment.

The government will:• reduce the maximum

amortization (payback) period on a mortgage to 25 years from 30 years;

• lower the maximum amount borrowers can re nance to 80% loan-to-value (LTV) from 85%;

• limit the gross debt service (GDS) ratio - the amount of household income spent on the mortgage, property taxes and heating to a maximum of 39% of income. The total debt service (TDS) ratio – the amount of household income spent on all debts including the mortgage to a maximum 44% of income; and

• limit government-insured mortgages to homes priced at less than $1 million. Buyers of homes priced at $1 million or more must have a minimum 20% down payment.

The new rules apply to mortgages on residential property with four units or less.

They do not apply to:• uninsured mortgages (those

with a 20% down payment or more) which don’t require government-backed mortgage insurance;

• borrowers renewing their existing insured mortgages, where there are no new funds being added to the mortgage; or

• development or construction of multi-unit buildings of ve units or more, owned by a landlord.

REFINANCING

What will the new rules cost buyers re nancing a home valued

at $625,000?•Re nancing at 85%, home

owner can access up to $531,250• Re nancing at 80%, home

owner can access up to $500,000

FOUR YEARS OF TIGHTENING BORROWING RULES

This is the fourth time in four years that the government has tightened borrowing rules.

• In 2008, the government reduced the maximum amortization period to 35 years from 40, required home buyers to have a minimum down payment of 5% (compared to the previous 0% down), and introduced new loan documentation standards.

• In 2010, the government required all borrowers to meet standards for a ve-year xed-rate mortgage, reduced the maximum amount borrowers could re nance to 90% from 95%, and for non-owner-occupied investment properties, required a minimum 20% down payment.

• In January 2011, the government reduced the maximum amortization period for government-backed insured mortgages to 30 years from 35 years and reduced the amount borrowers could re nance to 85% from 90%.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES

Q: What is required to qualify for an exception to the new parameters?

A: The new measures apply as of July 9, 2012. Exceptions will be made to satisfy a binding purchase and sale, nancing or re nancing agreement where a mortgage insurance application has been made before July 9, 2012. While the changes come into force on July 9, 2012, any mortgage insurance applications

received after June 21, 2012 and before July 9, 2012 that do not conform to new measures must be funded by December 31, 2012.

Q: Will a purchase and sale agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012 be considered binding if there are outstanding conditions that have not been ful lled prior to July 9, 2012?

A: Yes, if the date on the purchase and sale agreement is earlier than July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance application has been made prior to that date, the new parameters will not apply, even if the conditions of the agreement have not been ful lled.

Q: Will the new re nancing rules allow a borrower with a mortgage above 80 per cent loan-to-value (LTV) to re nance by extending the amortization period?

A: No. Effective July 9, 2012, borrowers will not be permitted to re nance a mortgage above an 80 per cent LTV, unless the borrower has a binding re nance agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance agreement has been made prior to that date.

Q: I have a written mortgage pre-approval from a lender, dated before July 9, 2012 with a 30-year amortization. Will I be eligible for a 30-year amortization if I don’t sign an agreement of purchase and sale until July 9, 2012 or later?

A: No, a mortgage pre-approval without an agreement of purchase and sale is not suf cient to qualify for a 30-year amortization. You may have a 30-year amortization only if your agreement of purchase and sale is dated before July 9, 2012 and you

have made a mortgage insurance application before July 9, 2012.

Q: Will the new parameters apply to assignment (“switch” or transfer) of a previously insured loan from one approved lender to another?

A: No. As long as the loan amount and amortization period are not increased, the new parameters will not apply to a switch/transfer/assignment of the mortgage to a different lender.
