Edmonds Park to get $1.25M fixWanda [email protected]

With the new Edmonds Community Centre months away from completion, Burnaby council has approved $1.4 million to redevelop a park to go with it.

Edmonds Park—known as Richmond Park until the city renamed it a few months ago—is located right behind the centre. The redevelopment will comprise two zones, dubbed the “heart” and the “great lawn,” said a city staff report.

The heart will accommodate the most heavily used and largest amenities, including a large plaza next to the centre with seating and public art.

This zone will also include a “large, district level playground,” which will be the centrepiece of the grassy half of the heart. A spray park will also be located there, close to the playground and the washroom-changeroom facility.

An outdoor gathering and performance space is also planned for an area next to the playground and spray park, with power service to allow for temporary stage facilities during special events.

Trans Mountain pipeline’s Burnaby terminus on Tsleil-Waututh territoryWanda [email protected]

At age 42, Chief Justin George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation is considered a young chief.

That makes the changes he’s seen first-hand in Burrard Inlet all the more concerning.

“Just in my lifetime, as a young boy we could harvest the clams and the cockles and the oysters up until I was 19,” recalled George in a phone

interview. “Today, the pollutant levels are so high, no matter what race you are, nobody can eat them.”

That’s one of the reasons on Saturday the Tsleil-Waututh Nation signed on to the Yinka Dene Alliance’s Save the Fraser Declaration, an indigenous law ban on tar sands pipelines through First Nations traditional territories and on tankers transporting oil sands crude within salmon migration routes on the coast of British Columbia.

While more than 100 First Nations have now signed on,

George said the Tsleil-Waututh joined the campaign in response to Kinder Morgan announcing its proposal to more than double the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs between Edmonton and Burnaby.

Burnaby, and much of Greater Vancouver, is within the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh, a Coast Salish community of about 500 members whose reserve is located along the shores of Burrard Inlet in North Vancouver.

The 2007 rupture of the pipeline

in the Westridge neighbourhood of North Burnaby, which released 234,000 litres of crude oil into Burrard Inlet, “was a huge eye-opener for us,” George said.

“With the spill in 2007 it was the City of Burnaby that was there first, Tsleil-Waututh Nation was close behind second and ... when Kinder Morgan showed up, they actually turned off the wrong valve, which to me says a lot about how prepared they are for these human errors that occur constantly.”

Workers begin overtime ban at ICBCUnionized ICBC workers have

begun an overtime ban as part of job action aimed at spurring the auto insurer to give ground in contract talks.

The ban began July 6 and follows a Labour Relations Board ruling that found ICBC was bargaining in bad faith by refusing to discuss wages and benefits until a provincial review of the corporation concludes.

The two sides are expected to resume negotiations later this month.

COPE 378 issued 72-hour strike notice in June but union leaders indicated they would ramp up job action very slowly, in an effort to pressure the government without affecting drivers.

Real estate sales sagGreater Vancouver home sales

hit a 10-year low in June, down more than 27 per cent from a year ago.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver called it further evidence of a buyer’s market where potential purchasers have more to choose from and don’t have to race to beat out other bidders.

Despite weakening sales there’s

been little sign so far of home prices dropping significantly.

The benchmark residential property price declined 0.7 per cent from May to June and was still up 1.7 per cent from a year ago.

Benchmark prices ranged from $961,600 for single detached houses (up 3.3 per cent from June 2011) to $376,200 for condos (up 0.3 per cent) and $468,400 for attached homes (down 0.1 per cent.)

Sales counted by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board were down eight per cent since June 2011, although the realtor association said the ratio of sales to listings in the Valley has held steady.

Fraser Valley benchmark prices for detached houses were up 3.6 per cent from a year ago to $551,000 in June, while townhouses held even at $305,000 and condos were up 0.7 per cent to $203,600.

Civilian oversight agency coming

B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office (IIO) will open Sept. 10, providing a civilian-led unit to probe deaths

and incidents of serious harm involving police officers.

The opening comes several months late and two years after the province first committed to creating a police investigations agency headed by civilians, so police forces no longer investigate each other.

“The goal of the IIO is to conduct fair, competent, bias-free investigations in a timely fashion and publicly report on the results of our investigations,” said IIO chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal.

Twenty-six investigators have been hired so far and the unit is to have a total of 60 investigators, management and other administrative staff once fully operational.

Investigators must not have served as police officers in B.C. within the last five years, and police are compelled by law to report incidents under its mandate.

Transit pass forgers busted

Two Vancouver men are accused of making and selling counterfeit transit passes.

Transit Police say James Stuart

Richardson, 47, and Daniel Blair, 65, are charged with forgery and related offences after a six-month investigation into the circulation of high-quality made-to-order fake transit passes that are normally issued by the Ministry of Social Services and Housing.

Officers conducted a sting that led to the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of computers, laminators, printers and several dozen passes ready to sell.

It’s estimated the forged passes denied the transit system more than $200,000 in lost revenue.

Aldergrove park plan advances

Metro Vancouver will proceed with the development of plans to enhance Aldergrove Regional Park in southeast Langley.

At least that’s what the region is calling the former Aldergrove Lake Regional Park for now, pending a final decision on a new name.

The lake reference is being dropped since the regional parks department drained the popular swimming hole in 2011 to comply with more stringent public health regulations.

Metro staff say they’re

considering various trail and facility upgrades, providing more routes for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians.

An open house is expected in late September and a draft management plan is to come back to the Metro board for approval this winter.

Staff envision an expanded dog off-leash area, creation of a new wetland area for wildlife viewing and an active farm program.

Youth activities at Aldergrove Bowl could include disc golf, tobogganing and adventure play.

A water play area is also under consideration, but not the reopening of a destination swimming area, as desired by many residents.

It’s not yet clear where money will come for any actual upgrades of the park that do make it into a final plan.

A Metro report cautioned that proceeding with the management plan would “likely result in some public expectation of capital investment to implement the plan.”

Opening windows at Metrotown highrise means hearing post office A/C roaringWanda [email protected]

While summer means sunshine and great weather, for He Tian and some of the fellow residents at his Metrotown-area highrise, it also means sleepless nights.

Since last summer, those living on the upper floors of their Hazel Street condo tower have faced a dilemma—keep the windows closed and deal with the heat inside, or open them and stay awake from the noise being produced at the Canada Post building next door on Sussex Avenue.

Tian has lived in the building for six years and never noticed the noise until last summer. It’s believed the air-conditioner units on the post office’s roof are causing the problem, along with the noise of its staff loading and unloading mail early in the morning.

He likened the on-and-off noise as being like a lawn mower. During the day it’s hardly noticeable because of the noise of traffic and activity. But at night, that’s all they hear.

A video shot at 3 a.m. by neighbour Ben Mozafari includes audio of the medium-pitched humming sound, as well as the occasional crashing noise of staff loading and unloading post office trucks.

“They drop packages, they pull chains and other things on the ground, they make really nasty noises at night,” Mozafari said.

Not everyone in the building is affected, Tian noted. It’s mainly those living on the east side facing the post office, and those on upper floors, where the noise seems to travel to. He’s on the 15th floor but a neighbour on the seventh floor said he hasn’t noticed any noise.

The hot summer nights when he couldn’t sleep affected his health, he said, and it impacted his ability to work at his job as a computer engineer.

He said he and neighbours complained to Canada Post and Burnaby city hall last year, “but nothing really happened.”

Dipak Dattani Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering for environmental protection, said the city received a noise complaint in September 2011 and while a letter was written to Canada Post, there’s not much legally they can do.

Dattani said the city solicitor advised him that Canada Post is an agent of the federal Crown, “so like a railway, it’s not subject to any provincial or municipal laws.”

A Canada Post official could not find a record of any complaint from last fall, but in response to a NewsLeader inquiry, managed to find a possible solution to the air conditioner noise.

“We have investigated the noise complaint and found that there seems to be a noise coming out of the fan bearings of the air conditioner unit,” said Anick Losier, director of media relations for Canada Post, by email.

“A mechanic has been tasked with looking into it and hopefully fixing it today (Wednesday). Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

As for the noise from early morning operations, Losier said, We understand the concerns and try to be as respectful to our neighbours as possible and have even pushed our mail drop off time as late as possible.

“Unfortunately, the reality is that we need to get the mail out in a timely manner and we only have a small window early in the morning to do so.”

Dattani said city staff would be following up with the supervisor at the postal facility to try and resolve the noise issues.

Infocus OpInIOn page 6 | Letters page 7 | spOrts page 13

(According to a 2009 Transportation Safety Board report, Kinder Morgan’s staff in Burnaby shut off the valve leading to the tanker in Burrard Inlet, but not the one at the source of the oil, at its tank farm, which is why a geyser of crude shot 12 to 15 metres in the air on Inlet Drive.)

George said pipelines experience day-to-day spillage which add up to impact the environment. That environmental risk will be compounded by the 200 to 400 tankers a year, about one a day, that will travel Burrard Inlet to and from the Westridge terminal taking the oil sands crude oil to export markets in Asia.

“We really believe with our whole hearts that in 50 years this inlet is a dead zone,” he said.

“Really, what Kinder Morgan is proposing is the City of Vancouver become an oil port city. Oil port cities throughout the world create waterway dead zones, and that’s without major incidents. A major incident only speeds up that process of devastation to the environment.”

George stressed the Tsleil-Waututh don’t oppose oil, but favours models such as in Washington State which mainly refines oil for its own use.

“Raw crude oil is the worst of the worst,” he said, and once the construction of the pipeline expansion is complete, there will be few permanent jobs created in the long run. “The risks are extremely high and on the backs of all British Columbians.”

Kinder Morgan recently made its commercial tolling application to the National Energy Board, seeking approval for the fee structure and terms for the potential customers of the expanded pipeline, who have signed

20-year contracts.The Tsleil-Waututh will apply

for intervenor status in the public consultation process of that application.

When asked how effective the Save the Fraser Declaration can be, George said when the Trans Mountain pipeline was first built in 1951, “First Nations were not allowed any legal representation to do with land matters. Today we have rights and we’ll make sure those rights are heard and those rights are respected by the federal government.”

The Tsleil-Waututh plans to continue with an awareness campaign highlighting what it sees as the environmental risks of the pipeline expansion project. “I don’t think this is a First Nations issue, it’s an issue of quality of life for all colours of people in the Greater Vancouver area and the British Columbia coast.”

Lexa Hobenshield, Kinder Morgan Canada’s manager of external relations, said in an emailed statement, “We recognize and appreciate that Aboriginal groups’ interests and responsibilities are unique and we are committed to open, transparent dialogue and mutually beneficial working relationships.

“We view the Crown’s obligation for Aboriginal Consultation as an opportunity to demonstrate the recognition and respect for the constitutionally protected rights held by Aboriginal peoples and we are pleased to support a meaningful consultation process,” Hobenshield said. “We have been seeking the opportunity to meet with Tsleil-Wauthuth for some time now. While they have advised they are not ready to meet with us yet, we stand ready to provide information to them and to meet with them at any time.”

Wanda ChOW/neWsLeaderHe Tian says he’s lived in his Hazel Street condo for six years and was never bothered by the A/C at a nearby building until last summer.

Two industrial properties in South Burnaby could soon become the site of a townhouse development, if council gives the go-ahead.

The owners of 6080 and 6136 Beresford St. have applied for a rezoning to allow them to build a three-storey, 61-unit townhouse development.

Located on the south side of Beresford, between Buller and Gilley avenues, the properties are currently home to older industrial buildings and outdoor storage, said a city staff report. Across the street is the Highland Park Line greenway, to the east are industrial properties slated for future multi-family development and to the west, land designated as future park sites.

The development proposal would comprise seven three-storey buildings with 61 three-bedroom units. Vehicular access would be from Beresford and

parking would be provided on the surface and in garages for each unit.

As part of the project, the applicant would improve the Highland Park Line right-of-way by completing the grading and grassing of the area next to the trail and installing interpretive signage with historical information and images of the Highland Park Interurban Line, the report said.

Meanwhile, a 40-space childcare facility is being proposed for 6675, 6683, and 6693 Arcola St., behind the St. Francis de Sales church property on Balmoral Street.

The daycare would accommodate children aged five to 12 and four staff, and vehicle access would be from the rear lane and from Arcola.

A rezoning from the current residential zoning as well as an amendment to the Edmonds Town Centre Community Plan would be required to allow the facility to proceed.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver currently owns nine of the 10 properties that front the north side of Arcola, with the exception of 6613 Arcola St. which the Archdiocese intends to acquire when it becomes available to purchase, said a city staff report.

“These properties are currently designated for potential future RM3 multiple-family development, however, the Archdiocese has advised of its wish to use these properties for expanded school/church uses in future.”

City staff proposed amending the community plan to allow for the daycare use. “The proposed change will continue to preserve the potential option for longer-term residential development.”

Both rezoning applications will be the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday, July 31 at 7 p.m. in Burnaby city hall council chambers.

A new paved path system, lined with benches, lighting and drinking fountains, will provide more walking circuits and connections to adjacent streets.

The great lawn section will be defined by a wide semi-circular path connecting the park to two points on Elwell Street and will allow for “more passive uses” such as bocce, mini soccer and pickup games, the report said. The northern edge will be home to a double tennis court, multi-

use court and half basketball court.

“The highest quality mature trees will be preserved. In addition, new trees will be planted throughout the park along the pathways and adjacent street edges.”

The first phase of construction started last year along Elwell with installation of the path around the great lawn, tennis courts and multi-play sports court.

The $1.4-million in work this

year will include removal of the lacrosse box, and installation of underground services such as water, power and drainage. Regrading, pathways, the playground and spraypark will be installed in phases. The timing of future phases will depend on coordination with construction of the new community centre and plaza.

The new community centre is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

A park in the Stoney Creek area of northeast Burnaby is set to receive a new playground as part of $924,000 in funding for parks capital projects approved by council recently.

The replacement playground at Simon Fraser Hills Park will cost $175,000, will bring the facility up to current safety and accessibility standards and is expected to be completed by spring 2013, according to a city staff report.

The biofiltration ponds at the west end of Deer Lake will be upgraded and rebuilt to improve water quality at a cost of $125,000.

George McLean Park, formerly known as Inman Green Park, on Lindsay Avenue, just north of Kingsway, will receive $100,000 in continued

development, including seating, demolition of an adjacent city-owned house, removal of hazardous trees, planting of native species and installation of a dedication plaque.

The city will spend $100,000 between 2012 and 2014 to monitor the site at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex where dredgeate from Burnaby Lake was placed, for settlement of the fill and ground water quality to meet Ministry of Environment requirements.

Another $150,000 will be spent on minor capital replacement work at various parks due to breakdowns, vandalism or unanticipated repairs.

The log and wood park entry signs, originally installed in the 1980s, are now at the end of their lifespan and will be replaced at a cost of $50,000.

Security cameras and related equipment will be installed at a cost of $25,000 at C.G. Brown Pool and Bonsor Recreation Complex, with smaller upgrades at other locations.

The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts will receive $40,000 in new interior furnishings such as tables, chairs, furniture, window coverings, appliances, benches and specialized equipment.

And over at Burnaby Village Museum, it will receive two funding allotments—$25,000 for concept planning work at the carousel pavilion, looking at a pergola upgrade and perimeter development to expand its capacity; and $35,000 for eight new signs (mounted on cedar with weatherproof windows) to help with wayfinding, including maps and changing event listings.


Burnaby approves $825K in parks capital projects

Wants to see them trapped and relocatedWanda [email protected]

A North Burnaby resident is warning pet owners to keep their cats and small dogs indoors after seeing and hearing coyotes in his neighbourhood in recent days.

Al Morev has lived in the Lochdale area for 20 years and while he doesn’t have any statistics to cite, anecdotally from speaking to neighbours, he believes coyotes are increasingly active there and in other parts of the city.

There are new “missing cat” posters put up in the area “all the time,” Morev said.

“People think [the cat is] lost but it’s not. It got taken away.”

A couple weeks ago, Morev says, he saw a “well-fed” adult coyote run into his front yard at about 3 p.m.

“They’re not afraid of humans anymore. It was looking for food.”

And several days ago, around midnight, he says he heard what seemed like a coyote concert— several adult coyotes and pups

howling and barking under a full moon.

Morev urged pet owners to keep cats and small dogs indoors or in a high-fenced yard to prevent them being preyed upon by coyotes. He noted that coyotes have also been known to attack small children.

“I’m an animal lover and I’m very saddened by this,” said Morev. “I keep my cats indoors. I’m too scared to let them out.”

He believes the solution would be to trap coyotes and relocate them away from the urban Lower Mainland.

Such a move would not be feasible, said a response from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which is responsible for wildlife.

“Attempting to trap and relocate coyotes from a given area would be costly and ineffective because other coyotes would simply move into the empty habitat,” the emailed statement said.

While the ministry has not conducted a formal count recently, 10 years ago the Stanley Park Ecological Society estimated there were 2,000 to 3,000 coyotes in the Lower Mainland.

“Coyotes are indigenous to B.C. and unless they are proven to be a problem, population control measures are unlikely.”

It is illegal to feed or attract dangerous wildlife, including

coyotes, the statement said, and the best way to protect pets is to keep them on a leash or contained.

“Conservation officers will respond to coyote complaints

where there is a threat to public safety or where predation has occurred on cattle or sheep.”

Coyotes which display aggressive or threatening behaviour should be reported immediately to the Ministry of Environment’s call centre at 1-800-663-9453.

It was 13 years ago this week that my mom died, the cancer that invaded her lungs six months earlier finally prevailing over the entire body of the woman who helped create life for seven children.

My mom was lucky in that she was able to spend all her remaining moments at home.

From her diagnosis in the fall of 1998 to her death in the spring of 1999, mom was almost the picture of bedridden contentment. Her weight had dropped alarmingly and she was barely mobile enough to make to the washroom and back.

But, she was intensely lucid right up to a week before she died. She had her plush bed, her beloved books and magazines and a TV straight ahead when she tired of reading.

She had her Boost energy drinks and a parade of visitors every day.

She also had regular visits from a nurse and an IV drip right next to her bed, filled with pain medication so the final weeks and months would not be as painful as she feared.

We never had to think about the unthinkable, about whether it

would be better to hasten death rather than watch mom endure wracking pain waiting for the inevitable.

As far as I could recall, even during the final week when mom fell into a sudden comatose state, the pain was never that severe.

However, I have sat next to the beds of people in agony, people who were dying and whose inevitable death was to be a relief to family and friends — and to the person on the bed, filled with unbearable pain.

For those people, the B.C. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on physician-assisted suicide is encouraging.

I have never understood the logic in waiting for death to take a person while that person is being tortured by a disease.

I have never understood why suggesting mercy killing draws such passionate objection.

It is better to force the endurance of suffering than to end the pain and deliver the person to their destination sooner?

How is that better?Sheila Tucker, the lawyer

who represented those seeking to strike down the law banning physician-assisted suicide, referred during court proceedings to a number of experts in jurisdictions that have allowed such deaths.

According to expert affidavits, none of the jurisdictions — not Oregon, not Switzerland, not the Netherlands, not Belgium and not Washington state — have experienced a flurry of such deaths; nor has there been any indication that the legality of the practice has led to other vulnerable people being killed; nor have suicides in general risen in those jurisdictions.

Those are the three main areas of concern put forward by those opposed to physician-assisted suicide, including Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of B.C., and the Christian Legal Fellowship.

However, as was noted in Justice Lynn Smith’s decision, there exists in Canada the

right of patients to refuse to be resuscitated in a hospital if they stop breathing or if their heart stops.

That decision is made by the patient when they are fully capable of making such a decision and the legal standard governing the practice is informed consent, which is precisely what would be used in the cases of assisted suicide.

The issue truly can be approached in a simple and clear manner — the person who wishes to be euthanized if their medical condition reaches an intolerable point for them must be the only person to make that decision, and that decision must be made well before the disease incapacitates them.

There are also arguments from those who believe in God, who contend that assisted suicide is a form of man playing God.

Based on that argument, one could counter that we are playing God from the moment we take an Aspirin to battle a headache.

Is it necessary to let a person suffer?

Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician? With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away, a number of MLAs have decided to leave politics.

Much is made by some about the sacrifices made by politicians to serve the public good. And, while it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, make no mistake—it is indeed a decision that often pays lucrative dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize.

Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer is one of the latest B.C. Liberals to decide against seeking re-election next year. According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) figures, Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80.

The CTF estimates Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, one that will rise to $115,700 when he turns 80.

All that for 17 years in office.The MLA pension plan is

indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes.

More maddening is the fact the B.C. Liberals, under then-leader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable pension plan, one in which the taxpayer would add one dollar for every dollar the MLA contributed.

In 2007, however, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a trough-laden pension.

Political pension plans at the provincial and federal levels are a disgrace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement well funded by taxpayers who can barely get by.

COMMENTRe: Spoiling the future (Editorial, NewsLeader, July 4)

The writer hit the nail on the head when s/he said about climate change, “...our leaders and the power structures that support them seem unable and unwilling to do anything about it.”

I don’t presume to know exactly what the writer meant by “power structures” but, as far as I’m concerned, that’s a polite/ambiguous way of saying “corporations” or, more specifically, “politicians’ puppet-masters.” Big Tobacco being one of the biggest and most obscene of those. There is clearly a need for some relationship between governments and corporations, but they really should keep it strictly platonic and stay out of bed. Otherwise we—the government and, by extension, all the rest of us—get %&@#ed.

Regarding the “unable and unwilling” part: Again, if the relationship between government and business is kept strictly platonic—and there is no “bondage” involved—all governments are “able” to do much more about virtually any and all problems that arise than they let on.

The only real question that remains is: Are governments willing to fix problems?

Cooperation is, clearly, a huge factor in fixing problems.

Sadly, most governments mistakenly believe obtaining the cooperation (or approval) of “the power structures that support them” is most important when, in fact, cooperation among all politicians—regardless of political stripe, level of government, etc.—is most critical.

If corporations like the solutions that governments come up with, great.

If not, too bloody bad!Errol E. Povah

Final indignityRe: Alzheimer care facility’s shutdown an unfortunate loss (Letters, NewsLeader, July 6)

Thank you for your poignant and informative comments, Michael. How we choose to treat the most vulnerable demonstrates society’s values. Removing this level of care is the final indignity to both patients and families already

coping with a horrific disease. These decisions speak louder

than “family friendly” sound bites.

not Front-lineRe: Front-line, and proud (Letters, NewsLeader, June 22)

I wish to respond to Wendy J. Scott’s letter. Mayor Corrigan was correct in stating there are no front-line nurses on the Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee. Ms. Scott may think of herself as a front-line nurse but by her own account has not been a front-line nurse in over 20 years, and has never worked for Burnaby Hospital. To call herself a front-line nurse is insulting to those of us working and providing direct care to patients. She is in fact the owner of a private for profit nursing agency called Nurse Next Door. A company that benefits directly from the provincial government cuts to healthcare and homecare/home support. She is not a front-line nurse.

Parenting is a tough jobRe: Talk to your kids (Guest column, NewsLeader, July 6)

As a parent of two young children, I agree with Anne Hopkinson’s vision of good parenting. Good communication and active engagement with one’s children is crucial.

The only thing that makes me wary about her article is that it may justify the hasty judgments many people make about parents of young children. I was once reproached by a passerby who had very little information or awareness about what she was commenting on. Like the “bad” mom in Ms. Hopkinson’s article, I was texting on my phone—in my case, I was sending a response to my husband who had forgotten his house key in the stroller. A bystander chastised me for texting while my tired toddler was crying in the stroller (unbeknownst to the disapproving bystander, crying was an often effective way for him to fall asleep for his nap).

I felt terrible, but also unfairly judged.

I have no way of knowing whether Ms. Hopkinson’s insights into the parent-child

dynamics at play in her examples are correct. But I would caution against forming hasty judgments about mothers of young children—it’s a hard job and it feels terrible to be scrutinized by strangers in public.

action needed on coyote Front

The growing coyote population in Burnaby is becoming a major problem requiring immediate action. Dozens of house cats have been killed on our streets over the past few years.

I know for a fact here in Lochdale, a relatively small neighbourhood between Kensington and Duthie, coyotes are a serious problem. Residents see them all the time. Missing cat posters are a common sight, and if you go online and search for missing cat ads in Burnaby, you will be shocked by their numbers. Watching a large wolf-like creature grab a beloved pet in its teeth and run away is a terrible, traumatic experience for a child and adult alike. Just two nights ago, around midnight, with windows now open, we could hear a whole coyote concert—several adult animals and pups howling and barking under a full moon.

Coyotes not only hunt in the dark, they have become so brazen they are roaming our streets in late morning and in mid-afternoon, in full daylight. I witnessed a well-fed adult run into our front yard at 3 p.m. a couple of weeks ago.

Burnaby City Hall is well aware of large populations of coyotes in North Burnaby, around Deer Lake, and in other areas. The city’s inaction has lasted long enough. Coyotes are known to attack small children, in fact, that happened in Vanier Park at Kits Point.

If this happens on one of Burnaby’s front lawns, the City of Burnaby will be a subject of litigation and unwelcome publicity.

If the city alone can’t handle the task of removing coyotes, ask for the province’s assistance—surely their abilities go beyond capturing a lone snakefish. The coyotes need to be caught humanely, transported outside of the Lower Mainland and released.

Andrew HAwrysHkewicH/contributedTriadic Dance Works’ upcoming piece, Ceremonial Sketches is being performed Saturday, July 21 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, July 22 at 6 p.m. at the Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver. This two-year-old dance company is made up of three recent SFU Dance graduates, and has been in residence at ArtSpace in North Burnaby for the creation of this work. The group will be hosting a studio showing and talk back at ArtSpace on July 15 at noon. For more information visit www.TriadicDanceWorks.com.

A sharp-nosed Burnaby RCMP officer arrested three men over three days for a variety of charges after detecting the smell of marijuana during two traffic stops.

On July 6, the constable, who was patrolling on motorcycle,

pulled over a vehicle for not properly displaying a novice driver’s sign.

After noticing the smell of pot, the vehicle and its two occupants were searched, resulting in the seizure of 116 fraudulent credit cards, a forged

driver’s licence, cash, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Two days later, the same officer pulled over another driver for using his cellphone while driving. Again, he noticed the smell of marijuana. Again, the lone occupant was searched,

leading to the seizure of more than $2,200 in cash, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Charges of possession of forged credit cards, and possession of a controlled substance, are being recommended against a 22-year-old man and a charge of possession of a controlled substance is being recommended against a 21-year-old man, both in connection to the July 6 incident. Both men are from Vancouver.

In relation to the July 8 traffic stop, a 32-year-old Richmond man is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Police are not releasing the names of the three suspects as charges are still pending.

The three men have been released from custody on promises to appear in Vancouver Provincial Court in November.

Siberian smoke fades, U.S. fires may add to haze

The phenomenon of smoke wafting here from wildfires in Siberia is no longer a significant factor behind hazy skies over the Lower Mainland, according to Metro Vancouver officials.

Russian fires were blamed Monday by Metro air quality officials for a near-doubling in fine particulate levels over the past weekend.

“The situation is now changing,” Metro Vancouver spokesman Glenn Bohn said Wednesday.

“The influence of smoke from the Asian fires has mostly ended. The concentrations of fine particulates have decreased.”

But he said fires burning in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California could send more smoke into B.C. in the days ahead, depending on the weather.

So far Metro officials are watching conditions and haven’t yet issued any air quality advisories.

Air quality experts recently unveiled a new website that rates air visibility at key sites around the Lower Mainland using a network of automated cameras.

The ratings and images can be viewed at clearairbc.ca.

Region rated worst on continent after L.A.Jeff [email protected]

Metro Vancouver is Canada’s most congested urban area and second only to Los Angeles in North America, according to a report.

The rankings by GPS maker TomTom – based on data gleaned from the traffic movements of its subscribers – found Vancouver drivers take on average 30 per cent longer to

make a trip at congested times than when roads and highways are free flowing.

Los Angeles was worst among North American cities – with a 33 per cent delay – while Miami, Seattle, Tampa and San Francisco ranked third through sixth at around 25 per cent. Toronto was ninth at 22 per cent.

For Vancouver, TomTom estimated congestion translates into a 34-minute delay for each hour driven in peak periods, adding up to 83 hours over the

course of a year for motorists with a 30-minute daily commute.

But TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said the findings are deceptive.

Metro Vancouver has fewer highways and therefore lower overall traffic speeds than Los Angeles, he said.

That means a 10 kilometre per hour reduction in the speed of moving traffic is a bigger proportional delay here compared to U.S. cities with more freeways, giving

Vancouver a worse ranking.

“We made the choice not to punch freeways through the centre of Vancouver and that’s made the region more livable,” Snider said.

He said TransLink is working to expand transit – as well as cycling and pedestrian infrastructure – to offer alternatives to car use in more of the region.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the rankings more accurately reflect the plight of drivers in areas where cars dominate, but not where transit is frequent and more viable.

“Car congestion is not a measure of mobility,” he said. “So long as you have choices, you don’t have to be hung out in traffic.”

Price said the region will soon see what a huge increase in highway capacity achieves when the new Port Mann Bridge, expanded Highway 1 and South Fraser Perimeter Road all open.

Highway congestion should be cut, at least initially, he said, although he forecasts it will spur more car use and new construction geared for drivers rather than transit, potentially undermining efforts to expand transit South of the Fraser.

He also predicts the tolls on the Port Mann will increase congestion on arteries within Surrey as some drivers seek to avoid paying and more South of Fraser drivers try to stay on their side of the river.

Metro’s high congestion ranking called deceptive

We’d like to thank the academy

Play is the work of childhood, important for developing a creative, independent mind. Summer is a great time to just give your child some extra space to enjoy it, independently, or with friends.

Unstructured play (and why your kids need more of it this summer)Time to back off a little and let them just be kidsMadeline LevineContributor

If you’re like many parents, your child’s summer may already be booked up with “enriching activities.” Maybe you’re shipping him off to a rigorous math or computer camp designed to give him an academic edge. Or perhaps she’ll be living at home but attending an educational day camp or an intensive sports camp. At the very least you’re using the break from school to double up on her (already daunting) schedule of gymnastics and dance classes, supplemented with an ambitious summer reading list.

When will your child have time to play? Just… play?

It’s too bad that the old-fashioned notion of summer as endless free time—to climb trees, chase fireflies, build a fort in the woods, maybe set up a lemonade stand—has fallen by the wayside. This is what kids need—they need it far more than they need a high-priced summer camp or some other program aimed at cramming a little bit more learning into their exhausted brains.

Play is serious business. We tend to see it as wasted time, but it’s actually anything but. Play is the work of childhood. It’s a classroom in which children develop a whole set of skills that really matter in life. Indeed, research shows that children who attend play-based preschools, as opposed to academic preschools, do significantly better in school down the line.

David Elkind, one of the country’s most knowledgeable (and beloved) experts on child development, says that “play is essential to positive human development.” He recognizes that there are different types of play: play that teaches children concepts and skills, play that initiates children into the world of peer relations, and play that helps kids develop strategies for dealing with stress. What these variations on play have in common is that they are self-initiated and self-directed—the playing child is calling the shots.

If a child goes into his room and strums on his guitar because he loves it, that’s play.

“ We’ll get you back on the road.”


When an instructor comes into the picture and starts “teaching guitar,” the child may enjoy the experience but he’s no longer playing.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children play outside as much as possible, for at least 60 minutes a day. Unfortunately, almost half of our children aren’t getting any time outside. Sending kids outside to play more often would not only go a long way toward combating our childhood obesity problem, it would simultaneously allow kids to enjoy more unstructured play. Most experts agree that kids should have twice as much unstructured free time as structured playtime. Every child is different, but as Ken Ginsburg, MD, a leading expert on resilience, says, “What every child needs is free, unscheduled time to master his or her environment.”

If you really want to up the ante, consider that tomorrow’s adults may need the skills developed by play—innovation, collaboration, problem solving, and so forth—more than any other generation before. The global economy demands them. This makes it even more ironic that time for free, unstructured, self-directed play is at an all-time low.

So what, exactly, is it that makes play so valuable?

It miniaturizes the world so that kids can deal with it.

Play primes children for learning. Toddlers, for instance, love to climb up and down stairs. This allows practice in reading visual cues—i.e., the height of each stair—that plain-old walking doesn’t provide.

School-age children play games that have rules, which initiate them into the social institutions they’ll live and work in all their lives. Consider the complexities involved in a simple game of chase. The running and turning and ducking under and climbing over obstacles develops motor skills, but that’s just the beginning.

Kids have to agree on the game and cooperate with each other, which are social skills. They also have to determine who’s going to be the leader, who’s going to be the follower, and when it’s time to renegotiate the roles.

Solitary play, too, provides plenty of problem-solving practice. Watch a young girl playing with her dollhouse and talking to the dolls: If her “child” steals a cookie from the cookie jar she may try out different ways of handling the situation. Does she scold the child? Bash her over the head? Kick her out of the house? Business leaders say that today’s young workers have a serious dearth of problem-solving skills. While it may seem counterintuitive, making more time for play may give your child a serious edge when she enters the business world.

Kids who have no down time and no time for unstructured play never get to know themselves. They know only who others tell them they are.

Getting to know oneself takes time and emotional energy, and when all that is spent trying to get a leg up on an academic career, or become the best soccer player on the field, there is no time left for the internal work of child development.

SPORTS

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBurnaby Lakers forward Tomas Vela escapes the pursuit of a pair of Ridge Meadows Burrards defenders in the third period of their opening round game at the Jack Crosby novice all-star lacrosse tournament at Copeland Arena.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies will have a rough road to navigate if they hope to avoid being left out of the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs for the first time since 2004 while the Burnaby Lakers post-season hopes are good.

The Lakers won a showdown for third place by downing the Salmonbellies 9-4 at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday. The win gave Burnaby a 6-5-2 record which tied the Lakers with Victoria (7-5-0), although the Shamrocks had a game in hand.

The Salmonbellies’ record dropped to 6-7-0 which put them in a tie for fifth with Coquitlam (6-6-0) with the Adanacs having played one fewer game heading into Thursday night’s game against first-place Langley (10-4-0). In the last five seasons the Salmonbellies failed to finish first only in 2009 when they came second.

The Lakers and ’Bellies were tied 3-3 midway through the game before Burnaby busted out with six of the game’s final seven goals.

Dane Stevens and Scott Jones both had two goals and two assists. Other markers were scored by Shaun Dhaliwal, Justin Salt, Casey Jackson, Matt Quinton and Mike Brascia. The Lakers will play host to Nanaimo today (Friday) starting at 7 p.m.

Alex Gajic, a former Burnaby Jr. Laker, had two of New West’s goals with the others going to Sean Robinson and Corbyn Tao.

The Salmonbellies will be in Victoria on Tuesday before playing host to Nanaimo next Thursday starting at 7 p.m.

Last Thursday, the Salmonbellies downed the Maple Ridge Burrards 8-5 at Queen’s Park Arena despite being outshot 54-35.

Tyler Richards made 49 saves and Kevin Crowley and Jordan McBride each scored two goals. Crowley also added three assists while McBride had two. Other Salmonbellies goal scorers were Mike Berekoff, Kyle Ross, Robinson and Kevin Lunnie.

The Burrards outshot the ’Bellies 19-8 in the third period when New West was assessed four minor penalties, including two to Wade DeWolff with less than five minutes remaining. Maple Ridge didn’t score on the double minor until only 64 seconds were left in the game.

Both teams scored two powerplay goals, although New West had just three opportunities while Maple Ridge had eight.

Infielder Taylor Lawrence of Burnaby will play baseball for Douglas College in the fall.

The Burnaby Mountain secondary graduate has been playing primarily third base in the B.C. Premier Baseball League for the Coquitlam Reds, with whom he has a .302 batting average. Lawrence is following in the footsteps of his older brother Brent who went to Douglas before moving on to play NCAA baseball at Northern State University in South Dakota. Brent hit .308 in 44 games for NSU this season. Although he didn’t have a home run he drove in 23 runs and stole five bases on seven attempts.

The Burnaby Lakers finished last in the eight-team B.C. Junior Lacrosse League following a pair of losses last weekend.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies downed the Lakers 9-4 at Bill Copeland Arena in the final game of the regular season Sunday. That came on the heels of an 11-5 loss in Port Coquitlam to the Saints on Friday. The defeats left the Lakers with a 3-18-0 record, one point behind Nanaimo (3-17-1).

Danny Spagnuolo, Quinton Bradley, Alex Millin and Brendan Shea scored for Burnaby against New West. In PoCo, Peyton Lupul had a pair with singles going to Josh Simons, Adam Phillips and Bradley.

A field of eight led by Seattle-based Serevi Selects will battle out in the premier men’s event at the Serevi Vancouver International Rugby 7s tournament at Swangard Stadium next Saturday (July 21).

The selects will have two of the greatest all-time players in the sport in their lineup, Waisale Serevi of Fiji and guest player Ben Gollings of England. Gollings

is the all-time points scorer in rugby 7s with 2,652 in 70 tournaments. Serevi used to have the record with 1,310 points.

In addition to the Selects, the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Global Lighthouse team will be up against the Fiji Wardens, the Cayman Islands Maples, five-time U.S. champion OPSB of Seattle, Wings Fijian Select, South Seas (native players from Tonga and Samoa now living on

Vancouver Island), and Edmonton.The tournament starts at 10 a.m. For

tickets and more information go to www.vancouverinternationalsevens.com.

• Brian Murphy and Trevor de Zeeuw of Burnaby Lake are on the provincial under-19 team that is competing at the national championship in Edmonton this week.

Canada Day was big for the Burnaby Arts Council. We had an

opening of a great little show in the Deer Lake Gallery along with a “tasty trailer” of the Burnaby Summer Theatre’s new production, The Edible Adventures of Maggie the Milk Maiden.

Every year five young actors come together under the auspices of the BAC’s Burnaby Summer Theatre and write, produce and perform an original play to entertain the children and families of the surrounding area. This year Tim Carlson, Emily Henney, Cheyenne Mabberley, Daniel Doheny and Leslie Dos Remedios, all students from Langara College’s Studio 58 Theatre Program have created The Edible Adventures of Maggie the Milk Maiden. The narrative follows Maggie on a journey across the Land of Yum to save her brother the Peanut Butter Knight. She must face the perils of the Lunch Lagoon and the Dinner Dungeon before she confronts the evil Strawberry Sorceress on Midnight Mountain (where the snacks

roam free!). Is Maggie brave enough to complete the quest and save her big brother?

It’s all very exciting and

makes me hungry with all the clever dialogue wrapped around food motifs. Check the Burnaby Arts Council website (www.burnabyartscouncil.org) for schedules and locations.

Called Illusions, the Deer Lake Gallery show this month features two artists who would seem to be polar opposites, with work at the opposite ends of the spectrum. The title Illusions alludes to the idea that nothing is as it seems.

Rebecca Shorten is a potter with the Burnaby Potters Guild. Her ceramic bestiary recalls her childhood fascination with the fairies, mystical creatures and talking animals that populated

her story books.Shakun Jhangiani’s

work is all about the healing spirit of earth, wind and water. Monsters may linger but not for long. Viewing Shakun’s paintings one is immediately calmed and the feeling of “humble gratitude” that one gets when looking out at the ocean is called up from memory.

The artists will be available on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. if you would like to talk with them. The show runs until July 22 at the Deer Lake Gallery at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. in Burnaby.

Plan an afternoon walk around Deer Lake and visit the Deer Lake Gallery and the Burnaby Art Gallery on your way.

Linda Lewis is art services coordinator with the

Adera Development Corporation was a big winner at the Gold Nugget Award ceremony last month, winning seven awards for three of their developments.

The Gold Nugget Awards honour creative achievements in architectural design and land use planning for residential, commercial and industrial projects in the United States and internationally.

Adera was the recipient of a Grand Award for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for their Ultima project at UBC. This is the fourth year in a row that Adera has taken home a Grand Award.

“This year’s Gold Nugget Awards

is Adera’s best yet,” says Adera President Norm Couttie. “To be recognized with six awards of merit is phenomenal at this high level of competition, but to win a Grand Award at (an) international building awards (ceremony) is thrilling.”

Adera also won Awards of Merit for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for seven35, On the Boards MultiFamily Community for Sail, Green Sustainable Residential Community for seven35, Residential Project of the Year – Attached Product in an Urban Setting for seven 35, and International Residential Project – Attached 1.0 FAR and over for seven35 and Ultima.

by Kerry Vital

Standing on your front steps outside Solo David by Mosaic Homes, you see the Lower Mainland stretching before you. Situated in a fantastic location on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, the views are simply out of this world.

“Architecture, views, value: it’s all there,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “This is really something out of the ordinary.”

He’s not exaggerating. With large windows and Solo David’s north-south facing location, you’ll be able to see beauty from every angle. Built in a classic Tudor style, with recessed entries, oversized eight-foot doors, wood trim and a stucco finish, the exteriors themselves are almost like works of art. Each home is three storeys. Two-car garages are at the rear with a walk-out entrance to the main floor and a fenced backyard.

With only 16 three-storey homes in the project, ranging from 3,516 to 3,522 square feet, Solo David is an exclusive community that is perfect for families of all sizes. With the ability to add a suite or an extra bedroom, it’s easy to make your home fit your lifestyle.

“It’s really flexible for families,” Trent says.

Inside, the homes are modern and contemporary, with laminate flooring and an open-plan layout. Buyers are able to choose between a three- and four-bedroom configuration, depending on your needs.

The lower level offers plenty of options for customization, whether you want to build a mortgage helper, a large entertainment space or a home office. The possibilities are endless, Trent says.

Heading up the stairs, the main living area opens before you. With nine-foot ceilings, the sense of space is incredible. The kitchen is huge, with tons of storage space and elegant quartz countertops.

“This is a massive dining room,” says Trent. The show home features a table set for eight, but you could fit at least 10 people in the space. Beside it, the living area is complemented by the large bay window and a flex space that can be used as a library or extra living space.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is the epitome of comfort, with its walk-in closet and coffered ceilings that continue in the ensuite bathroom.

“This is a stunning bedroom,” Trent says. “There’s just nothing like it.”

One of the fabulous features here is the large window seat that affords you yet another beautiful view.

Those views will never disappear, Trent says, since Mosaic will also be building Riley, a collection of Tudor rowhomes which complements the streetscape and does not impede the scenery.

The other bedrooms on the upper floor are spacious and inviting. A flex space is featured up here as well, so you can decide to close it off to make a fourth bedroom, or leave it open to use as a playroom or office space.

The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 14 at noon, and Mosaic is expecting a great turnout.

“These homes won’t last,” says Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”

Homes start at $699,900. For more information, visit www.solohomes.ca or call 604-878-SOLO (7656). The Home Store is located at 3471 David Avenue.

Submitted photosSolo David by Mosaic Homes features Tudor-style architecture, above, coupled with modern touches. The kitchens, middle, are spacious and include plenty of storage space, from chic cabinets to the ability to have a built-in pantry, top.
