Almost $35K raised for victim’s familyAndy Tran left behind wife and two young children

The community has donated almost $35,000 to help the young family of a Burnaby murder victim, says SUCCESS, the social service agency that helped establish the trust fund.

Huong (Andy) Tran owned Royal Oak Sushi House in South Burnaby where he and employee Chinh (Vivian) Diem Huynh were shot to death on May 27.

The prime suspect in the homicides and the attempted murder of his former landlord is former security guard Angus Mitchell, who had both the restaurant and Huynh on a lengthy hit list before he was killed in a shootout with police in Maple Ridge on May 30. Tran, who was the sole breadwinner of his family, left behind his wife, Yuzhe Zhong, and two sons, two and five. His family contacted SUCCESS shortly after his death seeking assistance.

Donations were accepted at five SUCCESS service centres as well as financial institutions.

Women’s winner 47 and still racing strongGrant [email protected]

American Laura Van Gilder had every reason to treat herself to a mint-flavoured ice cream after winning the Giro di Burnaby women’s race in The Heights on Thursday.

After all, many of the 47-year-old’s competitors were in diapers, or not even born, when she began

racing bicycles 21 years ago. But she had used her experience and competitiveness to beat them all on a sunny summer’s evening, and a treat was in order.

Van Gilder crossed the finish line of the 30-lap, 37-km criterium about 20 feet ahead of Loren Rowney, exchanging final positions with the Australian from the Gastown race the night before. At 23, Rowney is less than half Van Gilder’s age, and at six-feet is 11 inches taller.

“I love the thrill of the

competition. I still have the nervous competitive spirit that drives me. I don’t see retirement in my future,” said Van Gilder, who claimed a first-place prize of $1,200. “I don’t think about my age when I’m racing, I think about [the other competitors]. I’m going to fight them tooth and nail.”

Ken Hanson of Santa Barbara, Calif., duplicated his Gastown victory at the Giro to take home $2,000 in the men’s race.

Van Gilder figures she has won

about 380 road and cyclo-cross races, give or take one or two. Although she wasn’t a competitive athlete in high school or university she caught the cycling bug at the age of 26 when she began mountain biking with a friend.

He told her she might have the right stuff to become a good cyclist.

Boy, was he right. She took to it quickly riding in 75 races her first season.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 NewsLeader A3

By 2002, she had turned cycling into a full-time profession enabling her to ditch working in her family’s restaurant in Pocono Pines, Pa. She went on to win two United States road and two cyclo-cross titles, amongst the hundreds of other races she’s been in.

“I hope so,” she said when asked if she can hit the 400 win mark. “There’s going to be a day when I’m not mentioned on the podium.”

Just six days before the Giro, Van Gilder was back home in Pocono Pines surfing cycling Facebook sites and found out about BC Superweek. She was scheduled to race in Boise, Idaho on Saturday (July 14), and realized this was an opportunity to race some more while out west. She quickly made flight arrangements and recruited her Mellow Mushroom teammate Kristen LaSasso to go with her.

“Things fell into place and we said, ‘Let’s do this,’ ” said Van Gilder.

They hopped on a plane and arrived in time for the UBC Grand Prix on Tuesday, although Van Gilder’s bike didn’t arrive with her. So she used a borrowed one to finish fourth. By Wednesday, she had her own back and came in second at the revived Gastown Grand Prix behind Rowney, who rides for Specialized Lululemon, the team Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes races for.

“I’m already planning for the trip next year,” said Van Gilder, who figures the field will be much bigger in 2013 when she starts spreading the word south of the border.

Van Gilder, Rowney and Jean Ann Berkenpas, who lives in Maple Ridge, broke away from the rest of the 28-rider field early and maintained their considerable distance through the remainder of the race. Berkenpas finally faded with about seven laps left leaving Van Gilder and Rowney

to battle it out on their own.Van Gilder said she knew if the

three “got away we could put the power to the pedals” and lose the rest of the pack.

“More often than not being aggressive like that pays off,” said Rowney, who wasn’t bothered by losing to someone more than twice her age. “I’ve looked up to her. She’s a fantastic athlete and a fantastic rider. She’s not just a sprinter. I was happy to get the win [in Gastown].”

New Zealander Joseph Cooper led for much of the men’s 45-lap, 55-km race, racking up five primes lap wins totaling at least

$700 before the peloton caught up to him.

They jockeyed back and forth with many in the audience keeping their eyes on locals Christian Meier and Svein Tuft—who has ridden in the Tour de France and won the UBC Grand Prix on Tuesday. But on the final sprint neither could catch up to Hanson, who emerged victorious despite not being on the race announcers’ radar the whole race. The race lasted just a shade under 80 minutes, with the last lap being the fastest of the night at one minute and 37 seconds.

Hanson and his Optum

teammates were not only coming off a victory the night before, but a bachelor party for the squad’s Sebastian Salas of Delta that ended in the wee hours of Thursday morning.

“My teammates suffered a lot more than I did tonight. They did a lot of work. I did minimal work and it set me up for the sprint. This was a win for the team,” said Hanson. “Winning races is amazing. Winning two days in a row is extra special. Everyone steps up and is doing their job … Just winning [in Gastown] took some pressure off of us. We really

wanted it so [the Giro] was a little bit more relaxed.”

Hanson collected the $2,000 top prize for his team, to go along with the $15,000 he won at Gastown, with second-place finisher Tommy Nankervis of Melbourne, Australia winning $1,100 and another Aussie, Hilton Clarke, who won the inaugural Giro in 2006, picking up $800 for his third-place finish. Rowney got $800 for being the women’s runner-up while Berkenpas took home $500. The night before, Rowney won $8,000 while Van Gilder picked up $6,000.

By the late stages of the men’s race, spectators were lined up three and four deep behind the barriers strung along Hastings Street in The Heights. A particularly popular spot was at the hairpin turn at Madison Avenue, a new feature added to this year’s Giro.

The Burnaby Hospital Community Consultation Committee has scheduled its next string of public forums running through the summer to collect ideas on what people would like to see for the future of the hospital.

First up is Thursday, July 19, 4 to 7 p.m. at Cameron Recreation Centre, 9523 Cameron St., Burnaby.

Next is the first Vancouver meeting, on Saturday, July 21, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the Renfrew

branch of Vancouver Public Library, 2969 East 22nd Ave., Vancouver.

That’s followed by a session to be conducted in Mandarin, on Saturday, July 28, at Crystal Mall, 4500 Kingsway, Burnaby.

Summer wraps up with the following forums:

Thursday, Aug. 23, 5:30 to 8 p.m. at McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library, 4595 Albert St., Burnaby; Saturday, Aug. 25, 3 to 5:30 p.m. at the Tommy Douglas branch of

Burnaby Public Library, 7311 Kingsway, Burnaby; Thursday, Sept. 6, 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Italian Cultural Centre, 3075 Slocan St., Vancouver; and Saturday, Sept. 8, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Bonsor Recreation Complex, 6550 Bonsor Ave., Burnaby.

For more information or to register to present to the committee, email [email protected].

twitter.com/wandachow

As of July 10, almost $34,741 had been collected.

“I am very grateful to the community for the support I received at this very difficult time,” said Zhong in a press release. “I thank each and every donor who gave donations. I also thank the many persons at SUCCESS and SUCCESS Foundation for the assistance they provided to me to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy.”

Maggie Ip, chair of the

SUCCESS Foundation said the agency has supported the visa application for Zhong’s mother to come to Vancouver from China to help take care of the two children.

“The outpouring of financial support to the family within one month shows that our Metro Vancouver community does care for each other,” Ip said. “In addition to the management of the trust fund, we shall provide on-going support and assistance to the family.”

Donations can be made at any TD Bank branch and other financial institutions to the “SUCCESS Foundation in Trust – Yuzhe Zhong,” account number 004-9720-5240599 and transit number 9720.

The other victim, Chinh (Vivian) Diem Huynh, was a single mother to a four-year-old daughter. SUCCESS officials said they had made an appeal through the Chinese media for her family to contact them if they need help but had yet to hear from them.

Habitat for Humanity’s Burnaby ReStore has been the target of thieves and vandals for the third time in 10 days.

The ReStore, located on Douglas Road, sells donated goods and materials to raise money for Habitat’s affordable housing projects.

The most recent incident Wednesday night (July 11) saw the culprits target a truck, and making off with tools valued at more than $5,000, said Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver in a press release. In two other break-ins, safety work boots donated by a major retailer and wiring was stolen.

Including damage to the property, fencing and gates, the total losses from the three incidents is more than $10,000.

The crimes are disheartening, said Tom Riessner, director of the ReStores.

“These materials are donated to us by individuals and companies and ultimately support the work of our volunteers who build homes for partner families.”

The non-profit organization is currently working to complete

the sixth and final phase of a townhome development on Government Street in Burnaby, with completion scheduled for early 2013.

“These thefts of materials and tools at our ReStores will only make it more financially challenging for the society and for our volunteers to complete these affordable homes for families in time,” Riessner said.

Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver relies on donations of land, volunteers, construction materials and generous individual and corporate donors to build affordable homes for modest income families.

Families chosen to purchase the homes work along with volunteers to build them or to help operate the two ReStores in Burnaby and Vancouver.

Riessner said the Burnaby ReStore is working with police on ways to improve security and hope to deter thieves through public awareness of the crimes.

Chris relke/Courtesy Giro di BurnaByAnton Varabei’s bicycle, seen here, was stolen just hours after he raced in the Giro di Burnaby. Varabei borrowed a bike and managed to place fourth in the Tour de White Rock two days later.

Wanda [email protected]

Hours after racing in the Giro di Burnaby, one of the cyclists had his bicycle stolen from the garage of his homestay family.

Toronto-based cyclist Anton Varabei, of Team Jet Fuel Coffee La Bicicletta, is out an expensive bike, a 2009 Focus Izalco 58cm with a wheelset that reads “Dura Ace.”

Varabei, 26, said he returned to his North Burnaby homestay after the race at about 10:30 p.m. He put the bike in the garage behind the house and locked the door behind him.

That was the last time he saw the bike.

“When I woke up I heard the news from our host that the garage was broken into and all the bikes were stolen.”

Asked if he could have been followed home from the race, he said, “I could only guess. It’s kind of suspicious the garage got broken into the day of the event.”

His bike retails for about $5,000 and is actually owned by the team. He did not know if it was insured.

Nevertheless, he’s been training on it all year.

“It’s been set up perfect for myself and it’s the bike I’ve been training on. It’s always better to ride on your bike but in that situation, I don’t really have a choice right now.”

Varabei raced in the Tour de White Rock last weekend, July 13 to 15 and will then race in the Cascade Cycling Classic in

Bend, Oregon July 17 to 22.In White Rock, he used a

spare bicycle that belongs to the team director’s son. On Friday morning, crews built it up to suit Varabei for racing.

“It’s a little bit stressful right now, it’s bit of a headache to deal with on the morning before the race, and now riding a bike that’s probably not going to be fitted well for me.”

Ironically, after finishing 19th overall at the Giro di Burnaby, Varabei finished fourth in the hill climb at the Tour de White

Rock on Friday using the borrowed bike. In Saturday’s criterium he placed 26th, finishing the event 95th overall.

His German Focus bike is fairly distinctive, he said, but the main concern is that it’s likely

to be broken down and sold for parts.

Also stolen were two bicycles belonging to the homestay family: a 2011 grey Rocky Mountain RC50 D4, serial number PRK0872643 and a 2011 light blue Brodie Infinity, serial number GKSM93603.

A reward is being offered for information leading to the stolen bikes being recovered. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-299-2092.

VICTORIA – By the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives.

Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count.

A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays.

This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones.

In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site

and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website.

I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal.

With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate

ferry on Haida Gwaii.Most pictures update every

two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds.

Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.)

Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C.

The mobile service now has an

option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report.

For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages.

Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving.

The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

Hitting the information highway

Housing sales are steady in the Fraser Valley, even as they seem to be in a bit more of a decline in Metro Vancouver.

Declines in sales activity and prices are more marked in Metro Van, but as neighbourhoods and Lower Mainland cities are so different, it is hard to paint with too broad a brush.

Still, a few basic trends seem to be emerging.

One is that, despite low interest rates, people seem to be unwilling to pay any more for housing. Prices have been going up for a long time and are now at the point where many working people simply can’t afford to buy.

Another trend is an inability to qualify for a mortgage.

The federal government has tightened up the amortization period for homes requiring Canada Mortgage and Housing mortgage insurance and that means bigger monthly payments.

And that means some people simply can’t get into the market.

A third trend is more intangible, but nonetheless valid.

People have a sense that the economy isn’t doing nearly as well as it could, and even positive economic news does not entice them to go out and borrow a great deal of money.

It’s a mug’s game to predict where the real estate market will go next, and that’s particularly true in this corner of the world.

A bubble has been predicted for years. But just when it seems that prices have hit unsustainable levels, they have continued to rise.

Yet interest rates have gone about as low as they can go.

And this fall they are expected to rise, possibly two points, and there are indications that—failing another major stumble in the economy—the rates will jump another two points next spring.

A cooling market seems inevitable. And if that lets more people have the opportunity to buy a decent home, it’s a welcome change.

COMMENTRe: Activists call for shark-fin ban (NewsLeader, June 22)

It has been said that 73 million sharks are killed each year.

Some people, like Mr. Anthony Marr, are calling for a ban on the use of shark fins.

If shark fins are banned everywhere, shark hunting will cease to be an economic activity and the shark population will grow. I would like to ask Mr. Marr the following questions:

• If the shark population keeps growing, what good will it bring to the human race?

• If the shark population keeps dropping, what evil will it do to the human race?

• How many fish do 73 million sharks consume, bearing in mind that sharks are warm blooded animals, requiring many calories to maintain their body temperature? I am not a scientist and have no access to research results, but assuming that each shark eats an average of 11 kg of fish a day, it will eat about four tonnes in a year. Then 73 million sharks would consume 300 million tonnes a year.

I hope that people will consider these questions and points before continuing pushing for a ban on shark finning. There are other ways to cut down the killing of sharks.

CounCil obstruCting progress

I wholeheartedly support the Burnaby Board of Trade’s request to Burnaby city council that the city support the issuance of mobile business licences for businesses that operate in more than one city.

I assume the primary licence would be issued where the business has its head office, and that participating cities would harmonize their bylaws and share the business licence fees. I also assume that the goal would be for mobile business licences to be valid throughout Metro Vancouver.

This is such a good idea I have trouble imagining how anyone could be opposed. However I didn’t reckon on the narrow and negative attitude of city council.

Mayor Derek Corrigan complains that Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond are

planning a mobile business licence pilot project together but didn’t invite Burnaby to participate. I don’t suppose he considered phoning the mayors of those cities to ask if Burnaby could join.

Mayor Corrigan also voiced concern that fly-by-night companies might have more leeway to cheat customers if enforcement requirements of each municipality weren’t clear. The answer is obvious; make enforcement requirements the same everywhere.

Coun. Nick Volkow asked if they (offenders?) can be quickly put out of business. Again the answer is obvious; make the requirements the same everywhere. Then Coun. Paul McDonell wanted to know if the licences might be cheaper in one municipality. The answer is obviously no since otherwise the plan won’t work.

These comments are bordering on silly. This isn’t rocket science. Get with the program, council, and stop obstructing progress!

A tribute to steveI would like to pay a tribute

to my neighbour Steve.On our hill most people

take care of their properties. However, when you see a lawn where every blade is in place and you see very tall, immaculately trimmed hedges, you have found Steve’s place.

His car and mini motorhome, usually out of sight in their respective garages, are in showroom floor condition.

Every tool he owns has its place and, I bet, the rest of the house looks just the same.

Steve is in his eighties now and has been a widower for a number of years.

The other day he admitted to me he has even less formal education than I have (that’s a tough act to follow). But he is totally aware of what is going on locally and has a keen interest in the rest of the world as well.

He traveled North America extensively when he and his wife owned a larger motor home. When visiting Asia he must have been a favourite with his tour guides because he soaked up the sites and the various cultures like a sponge.

Steve worked for the City of Burnaby and I am sure he

pulled his weight regardless of the assignments that came his way.

To me he is the living example of what is possible to accomplish when you put your shoulder to the wheel. He built and lived in several houses, all within sight of one another. He not only lived within his means, but he also had sufficient cash at hand when another desirable lot became available.

You may want to stop and talk to him when you drive by and see him fussing with the garden hose or a pair of clippers. These days you have to speak a little louder. You will soon realize, though, that here is a person totally self-sufficient and confident in himself.

You may be lucky to know several Steves. But, to me this one is an outstanding individual.

Coyotes must be brought in lineRe: Burnaby resident warns pet owners of coyotes

The Ministry of Environment’s response is unacceptable.

First of all, coyotes are “proven to be a problem”—they are killing our pets on a daily basis.

The Stanley Park Ecology Society, which promotes coyotes and promotes the “nothing can be done” lie alongside their MOE partner, made a big deal this week about the “havoc” created by a beaver in Stanley Park.

What is that compared to the tragedy of dead pets?

Front page news, apparently. There are two sets of rules here. Pets have a right to go out in safety, as do adults and children.

People need to challenge the current policy. There are solutions. Coyotes can live in the 95 per cent of Canada that is not occupied by people. Cities are for people and pets.

Rash of sightings last weekWanda [email protected]

A recent rash of bear sightings at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus has officials reminding people to be careful with their garbage.

In the week following July 7, there were six sightings, of which two involved a mother bear and two cubs at the south end of campus. “The other four sightings could have been the same bear for all we know,” said Don MacLachlan, SFU’s director of public affairs and media relations, Friday morning.

“They happen from time to time. I don’t recall getting six sightings in a week before.”

A seventh sighting occurred on Friday night, July 13, at 11:30 p.m., when a bear was spotted on South Campus Road by SFU facilities maintenance. Campus security searched for the bear but could not locate it.

There are no plans to bring in conservation officers, said

MacLachlan, who stressed the bears are not being a nuisance or hurting anybody.

“It’s up to us to avoid leaving our garbage lying around because that will tend to bring them closer to populated areas.”

He speculated it may simply be berry season, and bears are out looking for food.

“What else do bears do? They look for food. When they’re not sleeping, they’re eating,” he said. “But certainly we see bears regularly, we live on a mountain.”

SFU is installing more bearproof garbage cans and encouraging people to use them and to properly dispose of their garbage in general.

“We will never forget last fall when someone disposed of their Halloween pumpkin by putting it out on the deck,” said MacLachlan. “And of course the Halloween pumpkin aged gently, became more mature. The next thing you know you have a bear sitting on your deck eating pumpkin.”

Then there was the student who, for whatever reason, put

a bucket of ice cream outside their home.

“Guess what? Bears love ice cream.”

But it’s not just the campus residents that are to blame, he stressed.

“It only takes one chocolate bar wrapper or one discarded soft drink. Bears can smell food from a long way off, will come and look for it.”

The bears are mostly being seen on the edge of campus, as they avoid populated areas. But they are driven by their noses.

“No, they’re not wandering through Convocation Mall,” he said with a laugh. MacLachlan then recalled that a bear has indeed ended up there at least once in previous years, when it was spotted at, where else, a garbage can.

“It’s closer than is comfortable.”

Anyone who sees a bear at SFU should call campus security at 778-782-3100.

Hikers on Burnaby Mountain should also take precautions. Info: http://bit.ly/cA949l.

Region plans to charge plant operators based on smell Jeff NagelBlack Press

Industries such as organic composting plants that stink up a local neighbourhood may soon pay fees to Metro Vancouver based on the severity of the odours they emit.

The fees are being proposed on a polluter-pay basis to recover what Metro says is hundreds of thousands of dollars a year expended in staff time responding to industrial odour complaints.

“What we’re saying is you can emit the odour but we’re going to charge you based on what impact that odour has,” said Ray Robb, Metro’s air quality division manager.

The details are set out in a Metro discussion paper that proposes to categorize different emitters based on high, medium and low risk of posing an odour problem.

Officials will consider how much odour is emitted, as well as how well it is dispersed and the proximity to people it might offend.

“If you put a stinky thing in the middle of nowhere and put it up a tall stack and nobody smells it, who cares?” Robb said.

“Put that same emission source in the middle of a community – maybe at the bottom of a hill where it drifts up a hillside and ruins everybody’s weekend – that’s a substantially different matter.”

Industries deemed high risk – which include compost operations with more than 10,000 cubic metres of compostibles on site and animal renderers – would be charged $5 per year for every person they expose to a specified level of smell.

Metro estimates the fees might add up to

$110,000 per year for the worst offenders.

Robb said about six operators might now be in the high-risk category, but added more new sources are coming on stream as cities divert more organic waste from landfills.

Moderate risk facilities would pay a $500 registration fee and have to develop an odour management plan, which could be

subject to review and higher fees if Metro decides the odour is offending the community. Low-risk sites face no fees or requirements.

Robb said it’s an important issue to address now because Metro’s decision to mandate curbside organic waste pickup means huge volumes of food waste will be composted at facilities that will be built in the region.

Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre is the existing operator taking some food waste already but more are expected to spring up.

All organics will be banned from the region’s dumps and transfer stations by 2015 and residents will be required to put all their food waste in a green bin instead of the garbage.

VICTORIA – Veteran B.C. Liberal MLA Murray Coell has added his name to the list of politicians retiring from the B.C. legislature, as the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation renewed its criticism of the MLA pension plan.

Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands since 1996 will not stand for re-election next spring. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer announced the same decision last week, joining Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger in retirement from the B.C. Liberal caucus effective May 2013.

On the NDP side, New Westminster MLA Dawn Black and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Mike Sather have indicated they will complete their current terms and retire.

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman used Hayer’s departure as an example of what the CTF calls gold-plated pension payouts available since the MLA plan was reinstated in 2007. The CTF calculates that Hayer will collect $47,600 the year he turns 65, increasing to $62,900 a year by the time he is 80 due to inflation protection.

Coell served in several cabinet posts, most recently as labour minister after the 2009 election. Since pensions are based on an MLA’s highest three earning years, Bateman calculates that Coell’s pension will kick in at $89,000 a year.

The CTF says taxpayers contribute $4 for each dollar paid by politicians. MLAs must serve six years to be eligible. If defeated before then, they get a 15-month severance.

The return of the pension plan for B.C. MLAs was overshadowed by steep pay increases they approved in 2007. The B.C. Liberal government adopted recommendations of an independent committee that increased base pay for a backbench MLA 29 per cent to $98,000, with automatic cost-of-living increases.

In June of 1962, after many years as Service Manager and Bodyshop Manager at Eagle Motors, Bob Grant decided it was time to venture out and start his own collision shop. He opened BC Collisions on East Hastings Street in Burnaby and it was a success from the start. Bob hired Tom Orgar, a young apprentice, who is still with

the company. In 1970, Bob’s son Gord joined the company fresh out of high school. In 1973 they outgrew the original location, and moved to their present location at Hastings and Fell.Bob retired in the early 1980s and Gord is still with the company, but in a much more relaxed capacity. Manager

Dan Laird has been with the organization for 20 years and is continuing to build customers and client base. We are most proud of our long standing employees that have up to 44 years of service. We are proud to have been servicing Burnaby for the last 50 years and look forward to many more years of service.

Affected drivers had hoped to win back fines, other costsJeff NagelBlack Press

Drivers who were hit with tough roadside impaired driving fines and other penalties before some aspects were declared invalid will not be entitled to any retroactive relief, according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling.

Justice Jon Sigurdson rejected the claim brought by four drivers, ruling they are not entitled to be reimbursed for fines and other expenses because his original Nov. 30 decision finding the law invalid is not retroactive to its September 2010 imposition.

He also rejected arguments that the province acted in bad faith when it legislated the Administrative Roadside Prohibitions because it knew they would likely be challenged.

“Any petitioner with any outstanding fees, penalties or suspensions is still subject to paying/serving such fees, penalties, and/or suspensions,” Sigurdson ruled.

It’s bad news for the initial 15,000 motorists swept up in the net of stiffer drunk driving penalties that took effect in September 2010.

Diego Solimano, a lawyer with the Surrey-based Merchant

Law Group, said an appeal is under consideration, but added the ruling is a blow to the chances of 700 other clients who had so far signed up for a proposed class action lawsuit.

“There are a lot of people who cannot afford to pay $4,000 or $5,000 to get their driver’s licence back,” he said.

Solimano said many of the affected drivers had been waiting for possible retroactive relief and still have not yet undertaken costly requirements such as attending a responsible driving program or installing an ignition interlock.

“Those penalties don’t expire with the passage of time,” he said.

Litigants in the case weren’t just demanding repayment of their fees and direct costs.

Carol Beam, whose car was impounded 34 days after a failed test in October 2010, claimed $6,869 for costs that included six days of lost income, her need to hire a driver, legal fees, the cost of an ignition interlock and taking the responsible driver program.

Jamie Chisholm claimed

$19,510 – most of it for lost wages during his 84-day driving prohibition after blowing a fail.

Scott Roberts told the court he agreed to have his $5,000 vehicle destroyed because he couldn’t afford the impound fees for 30 days.

He claimed nearly $28,000, including lost wages.

The province adjusted the law this spring after Sigurdson’s earlier ruling found it invalid because there wasn’t an adequate method to challenge a failed reading of over 0.08 on a roadside test.

Now police officers must tell suspected impaired drivers they are entitled to blow a second time on the screening device and that the lowest of the two readings will apply.

Previously, the second reading was binding if a driver opted to blow again.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond said she’s pleased all the penalties will stand, adding the province remains “steadfast” in its groundbreaking approach to deterring drunk driving.

“The 44 per cent reduction in alcohol-related fatalities since our law came into force – with an estimated 71 lives saved – is unprecedented,” Bond said.

twitter.com/jeffnagel

Black Press fileThough Justice Jon Sigurdson ruled in November 2010 that stiffer drunk driving penalties enacted in two months earlier, he did not agree with claimants in a recent case that the ruling should be retroactive.

Metro’s discussion paper says smelly emissions can interfere with sleep, add to stress and anxiety, disrupt family barbecues and cause health impacts ranging from nausea and watery eyes to headaches and sore throats.

It’s not the first time air quality regulators have tried to slap fees on stinky industries.

But a previous effort by Metro to actually regulate or outlaw extreme odours was struck down by an environmental appeal board.

This time, the region is just trying to recover costs through

fees, rather than trying to enforce limits. Robb said the odour response costs are being unfairly borne either by other air polluters through fees on their contaminants or else by taxpayers.

The region is seeking feedback on the plan and the Metro board would have to vote on any bylaw imposing the fees.

Metro’s own sewage treatment plants would be exempt from the odour fees.

Robb said they aren’t subject to Metro’s air quality rules because they are regulated separately by the province.

EDMONDS STREET – CANADA WAY TO KINGSWAY


If it’s a gorgeous sunny day, expect upward of 100 cars to participate in the Edmonds Classic

Car Show on Sunday, July 22.If it’s raining, not so much.In 2010, the first year the car show

Car show adds to City Fair atmospherewas combined with the Edmonds City Fair held in September, it was “a total washout, literally,” said volunteer show and shine coordinator Bonnie Game with a laugh. “We had eight cars, including my everyday car. It rained buckets.”

Last year, both the car show and city fair were moved to July, with much better results. The weather was hot and sunny, and about 90 cars entered the show.

The car show will be interspersed with other city fair offerings all along Edmonds Street between Canada Way and Kingsway.

Game said participants won’t be deterred by Edmonds Street’s current roughness—it should

be repaved by the end of the year—since they don’t drive their prized cars very fast to begin with. But nothing scares them off like rain.

There’s no limit to how old or fancy the cars can be. Last weekend Game organized the car show portion of a community event in Vancouver’s Marpole neighbourhoood and the big attraction was a 1916 Ford.

“It was like the neatest car I’d ever seen. It was just very plain and simple but it was very unique.”

Participants come out for the love of cars, she said. They enjoy showing off their vehicles and all the work they’ve put into them, listening to people’s reactions to their prized possessions, and talking with other like-minded classic car owners.

Rather than the usual plaques, the event offers glass trophies to prize winners, said Game, who invited people to cast their votes for the people’s choice award.

Last year’s show and shine portion of the Edmonds City Fair brought out 90 vehicles. This year they will be spread throughout the fair area, so visitors can enjoy them as they check out all the activities offered.Newsleader file

The Edmonds City Fair returns to Edmonds Street this Sunday, July 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Kingsway and Canada Way.

As it has for the last couple years, the fair will be combined with the Edmonds Classic Car Show.

This time, the cars will be interspersed with the event’s other offerings to spread out the crowds and give people a variety of attractions to look at, said event organizer Paul McDonell.

The mainstage will be located at New Vista Place, near the Edmonds fire hall and will feature the annual youth talent show. Also near the Canada Way end of the event site will be the petting zoo, and rides will be located between the fire hall and Mary Avenue.

Save-On-Foods is back with a barbecue on Humphries Avenue, with food offered at bargain prices, mainly to reduce waste, said McDonell.

The Burnaby RCMP command vehicle will be on site, as will the Tzu Chi Foundation, and possibly ecosculptures from the Burnaby parks department.

For years held in Richmond Park (recently renamed Edmonds Park), the event was moved to Edmonds Street a few years ago due to construction of the new Edmonds Community Centre scheduled to open early next year, and redevelopment of the park.

Last year, the event brought out about 7,500 people, said McDonell, thanks to the car show being combined with the fair. Edmonds, between Kingsway and Canada Way, will be closed between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., as will the first blocks off Edmonds at New Vista Place, Mary Avenue and Humphries Avenue. Parking restrictions will be in effect between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Focus on fun at community eventWanda [email protected]

Burnaby and New Westminster youth will be entertaining the community while honing their performance skills at the Edmonds City Fair Talent Search, being held Sunday, July 22, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

About a dozen youth, 19 and under, will perform a variety of acts, from singing and dancing to playing guitar, said Jeff Scheffel, the talent show coordinator.

As of Monday, there were 10 entries, with the youngest being a nine-year-old vocalist.

“It’s just a great opportunity to get used to performing in front of a large crowd,” Scheffel said.

The focus is on fun without a lot of pressure while promoting youth participation and building camaraderie among the young performers.

“It’s a good stepping stone [for other events].”

Scheffel noted that he has recruited participants who have performed at similar events, and the same could happen for performers at the Edmonds show.

Jahlil Dulay, 13, will perform Sunday, for instance, after he was one of the winners of last year’s Burnaby’s

Got Talent show for his hip-hop singing and dancing.

Participants will be vying for prizes of gift cards for Lougheed Town Centre.

First place gets a $100 card, second gets $75 and the third place prize is a $50 card.

The show goes rain or shine at the mainstage on Edmonds

at New Vista Place, near the Edmonds fire hall.

Entry is free. The deadline to enter is the end of the day on Wednesday, July 18.

To enter, or for more information, call Jeff at 604-294-5533 or email [email protected].

OFFICEpolitics101

Q : I work in a small office with four other women. We get along well but they talk a lot about their private lives. They expect me to be just as open although I’m not comfortable with being that intimate. What can I say to them?

There was a country tune some years ago which included a line, “I turned to a stranger just like a friend.”

The singer, presumably, had become so isolated that he just wanted someone to talk to.

One of the key indicators of social maturity is the wisdom to know when it is time to share personal aspects of our life with someone.

In general, trust is the key factor.

After all, if we are willing to revel something personal, we expect it be held in confidence. There is also a mutuality involved which provides balance to the communication.

If, for example, you were to tell a new friend about, say, a problem you were experiencing in your marriage and she told you absolutely nothing about her marriage, challenging or otherwise, you would likely refrain from being so open with her.

Trust also relates to the belief that you can expect to receive some intelligent counsel: that the person to whom you are sharing has the capacity to actually be helpful.

In the case of your co-workers, these women have likely worked together for some time and it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that you are the newest hire.

They already have a measure of trust and they probably socialize outside of work.

You are present during their conversations—presumably in the lunchroom or at your work stations—and so now they are almost certainly experiencing a feelings of inequality with you. (It makes them uncomfortable.)

That sense of difference can only be reduced if they believe you trust them enough to share comparable details about your personal life.

While it is acceptable not to feel comfortable opening up more to them at this time, you will need to consider being somewhat less guarded should your friendship develop.

I would recommend you selectively reveal some aspects of your life—in context with

the discussion—but don’t feel any pressure any divulge secrets or matters which you would not wish shared generally.

You say you get along with them—which is great—but in your desire to be accepted, don’t abandon your own standards for what is appropriate to disclose.

As the relationship progresses, you may feel more comfortable doing so, but allow trust to grow naturally and you’ll feel better about what you reveal.
