Kids at South Slope Elementary andthe B.C. School for the Deaf (BCSD) tookhome pumpkins from their very owntemporary patch Tuesday, thanks to apair of enthusiastic parent organizers.

Chris and Daniella Revitt, whose threedaughters attend South Slope, organizeda full-on fall festival on the school’s all-weather playing field, complete withscarecrows, hay bales, hot chocolate, pop-corn, music, bubble machines and 350pumpkins dotted across the field.

The Halloween celebration was madepossible with about $1,000 in grants fromSouth Burnaby Neighbourhood Houseand a few South Burnaby Vancity branch-es that pitched in.

One reason for bringing the patch tothe school was accessibility, according toChris Revitt

“There’s a lot of kids with disabilitiesand in wheelchairs,” he said, “and we’vetaken our own kids to pumpkin patches,and you know it’s just a mud fest. So they

would never access that.”South Slope and BCSD principal Janice

Nakatsu said parent involvement is

always a boon to schools.“It’s very nice having parents on board

to organize the majority of the event,” she

said. “When there’s buy-in from parents,it’s just a bigger and better event. It wasa lot of fun.”

Pipeline foes clash with Kinder MorganIt was a tense Wednesday morning on

Burnaby Mountain, as protesters faced offwith Kinder Morgan work crews hopingto resume survey work for a new pipelineroute through the conservation area.

A group of roughly 40 peaceful pro-testers stood waiting on Centennial Way,ready to block the company’s workcrews, while numerous media outlets andBurnaby RCMP stood by.

Kinder Morgan crews turned up at aclearing in the woods where the companywants to drill for soil samples. Protesterswere already set up there, and more con-verged when word spread that KinderMorgan was on the scene.

“I’m a little bit surprised they showedup. They knew there was a lot of peoplehere,” said Stephen Collis, an SFU profes-sor and spokesperson for the protesters.“They are still forcing their way in. It’s theultimate act of arrogance.”

The Kinder Morgan workers were

accompanied by security, and it appearedsome were either filming or taking pho-tos. They parked on Pandora Street andapproached from below, avoiding thegroup uphill on Centennial Way, anddelivered a notice stating the company isauthorized by the National Energy Boardand the Federal Court of Canada to con-duct work on the land. The protestersshouted – some using abusive language– before the workers left. Some protest-ers followed them out of the woods, andaccording to Kinder Morgan’s Greg Toth,

set up on Pandora Street.“One of them climbed on our vehicle

and blocked our vehicle,” Toth said, apolo-gizing to local residents for the disruption.The protester in question chained himselfto the underside of the vehicle.

Toth said the company is going to reas-sess what the next steps are, but he wasnot surprised by today’s events.

“The protesters have been fairly forth-coming with their plans that they are

There’s still no clear under-standing between the Burnabyfire department and KinderMorgan as to who would respondto a major petroleum fire at thetank farm and Westridge MarineTerminal.

The National Energy Boardrecently ruled Kinder Morganmust release its emergency man-agement program for the TransMountain pipeline, even thoughthe company wanted to keep itsecret for proprietary reasons.The board gave Kinder Morganan Oct. 17 deadline to release theplan, and while deputy fire chiefChris Bowcock has seen it, theinformation hasn’t changed hisconcerns about the tank farm, andthere’s still no clear agreement asto who would actually handle amajor oil fire.

“It’s a very generic plan. Thereare no specific details. There aresome inaccuracies in the plan. Wehave some concerns about thecontent of that plan,” Bowcocktold the NOW.

The inaccuracies, according toBowcock, are in the section thatdeals with how the tank farm andthe Westridge Marine Terminalwill manage a fire.

“They direct their person-nel not to apply any firefightingagainst or conduct any firefightingoperations unless directed by thefire department,” Bowcock said.“We have a problem with that, inthat Kinder Morgan is requiredto be the primary fire protectionresponder (at) that facility, andin the emergency response plan,they direct their people to take noaction unless directed by the firedepartment.”

Bowcock says the fire depart-ment has had conversations about

the matter with Kinder Morgan,but nothing has been resolved.

“We’ve expressed explicitlythat we will not absolve them oftheir primary firefighting dutiesexcept with buildings (such as thecontrol room or office),” Bowcocksaid. “They need hydrocarbonfire fighting capability, becausethe City of Burnaby does not pro-vide that through the fire depart-ment. … It’s been clearly statedto Kinder Morgan that’s theirresponsibility.”

If a major fire broke out at eitherthe Burnaby Mountain tank farmor Westridge terminal, Bowcockexpects Kinder Morgan to deal

with it, while Kinder Morgan iscounting on the fire department.

“Our expectation is KinderMorgan – either themselves orthrough a mutual aid agreementwith other hydrocarbon facili-ties – they would provide therequired fire response to controlthe emergency on the interior ofthe fence line,” he said.

The NOW requested a copy ofthe plan, but Bowcock couldn’tprovide one.

Furthermore, Bowcock saidKinder Morgan needs a fire pro-tection plan, which deals with thespecifics on how to handle a fire.(The emergency response plan

deals with the management sideof responding to an event, whilethe fire protection plan outlineshow Kinder Morgan will actuallyhandle the fire fighting.)

“As we understand, KinderMorgan doesn’t currently have,but is working on, a fire protec-tion plan for its facility. We wouldexpect that to be in place cur-rently, and we have indicated byletter because those specific plansare not in place that they are incontravention of the city’s fireprotection plan,” he said.

Calls to the Trans Mountainexpansion project media line werealso not returned by press time.

A Forest Grove resident sayshe will reveal some shockingnews at an upcoming meeting onfire safety for those who live closeto the Kinder Morgan tank farm.

Local resident John Clarke isone of the participants in thepipeline hearing, and one of theco-complainants in the Forest

Ethics Advocacy legal challengeagainst the pipeline. Clarke, wholives close the tank farm, is oneof the guest speakers at a Nov. 6meeting at the Burnaby MountainGolf Course.

“I received some informa-tion from Kinder Morgan thatabsolutely shocked me, whichI haven’t really revealed yet,”Clarke told the NOW.

“I’ll be making it very public

at the meeting. I think it willshock people. It’s something thatshouldn’t be a surprise but willbe a shock to the residents.”

Burnaby’s Deputy Fire ChiefChris Bowcock will also be thereto answer questions from thepublic. Bowcock has been a vocalcritic of Kinder Morgan, whenit comes to fire safety and hehas years of experience workingwith oil tank storage facilities in

Alberta.“He will be there to basically

confirm what I am telling peopleand what I have suspected allalong,” Clarke said.

Forest Grove resident TerryCallender organized the event,set for Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m.in the Eagle Creek Clubhouse, at7600 Halifax St.

An email circulating through Burnabycity hall implicates city officials in an effortto skew the results of an online poll aboutwhether or not the city should rewardcity officials and volunteers with free golfpasses.

The email, apparently started by Coun.Colleen Jordan, is in response to an onlinecolumn in 24 hours – a daily commut-er newspaper – about the nearly $42,000worth of golf played by city officials lastyear, with a poll at the end asking readersto vote yay or nay for free golf. As of press

time, the poll was 63 per cent in favour offree golf, with 484 votes to 290.

“OK, so the golf thing hasn’t quite goneaway,” wrote Jordan in an email dated Oct.18, 2014, who racked up $4674.20 betweenRiverway and Burnaby Mountain in 2013.“24 had this editorial with a poll, shouldpoliticians get free golf? Guess what, yesthey should is winning. Vote now!”

The email chain also has comments fromparks commissioner Wayne Peppard – whospent the most last year on golf at $7,898.24– as well as Coun. Paul McDonell andBurnaby Citizens Association school boardcandidate Katrina Chen.

“My husband saw this and got around60-70 people to vote. Keep going!” wroteChen.

“Yes, pulling ahead. Keep it going,”

added Peppard.Coun. McDonell, whose

2013 golf season cost taxpayers$2,633.40, simply wrote, “Voteyes.”

Reached by phone Thursdaymorning, Coun. Jordan con-firmed the email’s existence,but said she didn’t remember ifshe started it.

“I guess I was telling peoplethey should vote,” she said. “Ijust said, ‘People, this is goingon. Vote, say what you think,’because a lot of people thinkit’s blown of proportion.”

The email was sent to allcity councillors and schooltrustees, along with BCA

president Gord Larkin, parkscommissioner Lee Loftus($2,677.89) and Burnaby-NewWestminster NDP MP PeterJulian. Independent mayoralcandidate Allen Hutton is alsoon the list.

However, Jordan said sheonly sent it to her colleagues,though she did not specifywho those recipients were.

“Somebody else could’veforwarded my email to some-body else. I just sent it to mycolleagues,” she said. “Just mypersonal list, which is person-al.”

12 new child-care facilitiesplanned for Burnaby kids

A plan to build up to 12 new child-care facilities on Burnaby school dis-trict lands got the school board’sstamp of approval Tuesday.

At a regular public meeting, trust-ees unanimously approved a memo-randum of agreement with the Cityof Burnaby that will see the munici-pality fund construction of the newcentres while the district supplies theland and manages the operation ofthe facilities by non-profit child-careproviders.

With school-board approval, workon the first facility is expected tobegin in 2015.

The plan will add up to 500 child-care spaces to the district’s existing777 spaces at 21 centres across thedistrict.

The city already operates fivechild-care centres with a total of 232spaces.

Over the coming years, the citywill place the centres in modularbuildings on school lands withoutany cost to the school district, accord-ing to a report at Tuesday’s meeting.

Trustee Larry Hayes called theplan a “real win-win for the commu-nity and all involved.”

Trustees Harman Pandher agreed,lauding the partnership between theboard and city hall.

“It’s a relationship that will openup to 12 much-needed child-care sites

across Burnaby with up to 500 childcare spaces allowing even more ofour parents to go to work secure inthe knowledge that their children willbe cared for by qualified profession-als in a warm, nurturing environmentat the very neighbourhood schoolthat they’re either already attendingor will be attending in the future,”he said.

Trustees were on hand Mondayat city hall when council put the first

signature on the deal, and council-lors returned the favour Tuesday,with councillors Dan Johnston, PaulMcDonell, Colleen Jordan, PietroCalendino and Anne Kang in atten-dance.

Parks and recreation commis-sioner Katrina Chen, who is runningfor a trustee seat under the BurnabyCitizens Association (BCA), was also

Great timing: BCA school board trustees join party colleagues fromcity council and Katrina Chen, a parks commissioner and BCA trusteecandidate, after signing a joint plan to build 12 new child-care centres.

In my mind, there are veryfew decisions I can make thatare more important, and that

will have more impact on myday-to-day life, than the names Imark my “x” beside on Nov. 15.

For candidates who may bewondering, I came up with thisguide to how to win my vote.

First, some background aboutwho I am and where I’m comingfrom.

I’m 44 years old, marriedwith a small daughter. I tend tolean left, with a sometimes con-tradictory libertarian streak thatsays government should justplain butt out of certain issues.

I believe in public support forthe arts, both in schools and inthe community, because the artsare fundamental to our experi-ence as human beings and to ourexistence as a society.

I believe my tax dollarsshould be spent on the essentials– not just infrastructure andutilities, but parks, playgrounds,sports fields, theatres, art galler-ies, greenways, cycling paths,because all of those things arean integral part of the fabric ofsociety.

I believe in development.Development that is plannedproperly and executed sustain-ably is crucial to our future.

I believe in building a greenerworld. I believe municipalitieshave a key role to play in thefuture of the planet, from help-ing residents reduce waste toproviding options that encour-age us to leave our cars at home.

I believe that civic govern-ments and school boards arecritical players in the area broad-ly known as “social services”– in combating hunger, poverty,domestic violence, addiction,homelessness, isolation andexclusion of all kinds.

But you know what? I don’twant a council that thinks exact-ly like me. Tempting as it is toconsider what a utopia we couldcreate if only everyone were justlike me, the reality is that I wanta council and a school board thatrepresent a variety of lifestylesand philosophies.

I want a bleeding heart, some-one who operates from a placeof compassion and empathy forthe downtrodden, who exists tocreate a better and more equalworld for all.

I want a dreamer, a vision-ary who’s willing to say, “Hey,here’s a crazy idea, let’s ____”– and then fills in the blank witha plan so insanely ambitiousthat a lesser mortal would neverhave dared to give it voice.

I want someone hard-headed

Lack of tank farm agreement unacceptableLet’s just imagine that a major fire

broke out at the Kinder Morgan tankfarm.

We’re not trying to fear mongerhere, but just humour us for a second.

While there are safety measures inplace at the facility, KinderMorgan has told us theywould call on the fire depart-ment, even though DeputyFire Chief Chris Bowcock has beenadamant that it’s the company’s respon-sibility to fight its own fires.

Bowcock has repeatedly told us thefire department can’t handle petroleumfires, and Kinder Morgan has told usthey would call the fire department inthe event of a major oil fire.

It’s shocking to us that there is noclear plan as to who woulddeal with a crisis like this.

The fact these two partiesdon’t have an agreement as

to who would actually fight the fire isjust mind-blowing. Meanwhile, each isaccusing the other of dropping the ball

on this.The tank farm has been in place

since the 1950s without any major fires,but a track record of no incidents isno substitute for a plan to deal withemergencies. Bowcock claims there areno detailed plans about how KinderMorgan would handle a major fire,while the company claims the firedepartment won’t meet with them.

Pick up the phone, people!We’re not trying to stir up alarm.

But the reality is there’s a clear discon-

nect between Kinder Morgan and theBurnaby Fire Department, and that’scompletely unacceptable.

Obviously this working relationshipis fraught with tension, but one of theseparties has got to reach out and resolvethis. There are 1.6 million barrels ofcrude at the storage facility on BurnabyMountain, and if the expansion isapproved, there will be 5.6 million.

We hope Kinder Morgan and thefire department work this out before adisaster hits.

Here’s who I’mvoting for

Don’t drink corporate Kool-AidDear Editor:

Re: Businesses pay majority of taxes, BurnabyNOW, Oct. 24.

In reporting on the recent studies by the FraserInstitute and the Canadian Federation of SmallBusiness on municipal taxation and spending, JacobZinn doesn’t question (by seeking an opposingview, for example) the conclusions of either orga-nization. Rather, he has simply accepted the basicpremise of the two corporate-funded organizations,– that business is being unfairly taxed – and prettywell adhered to the scripts-cum-news releases writ-ten by the two organizations.

For example, Zinn leads off with the observa-tion that “the Fraser Institute found that 52 per

cent of Burnaby’s property tax revenue comes frombusiness – the highest of all municipalities in thestudy.”

Sounds bad, doesn’t it? Yet, from all accounts,businesses in Burnaby are doing just fine. There isno mass exodus occurring, much less a shuttering ofstore windows. So, why follow the lead of the Fraserwithout question and write it as bad news?

Why not write it as good news? With just a fewminor changes to those words the story not onlycould have been different, but upbeat as well: “theFraser Institute found that 48 per cent of Burnaby’sproperty tax revenue comes from homeowners – thelowest of all municipalities in the study”.

Zinn, however, seems to adhere to the journal-istic imperative that bad news is good news. And

in pursuit of this principle, the latter partof his article is pretty well turned over tounchallenged self-interest quotes of theCFIB about the business tax rate, and thethrowing in of a highly prejudicial remarkthat “businesses are getting shafted.”Again, he makes no effort to present a con-trary, much less a challenging, viewpoint.

As such, Zinn does himself as well asNOW readers a great disservice.

Bill Brassington, Burnaby

Resident’s plight showseffects of high-density cityDear Editor:

Re: Burnaby’s wake-up call, Letters tothe editor, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 24.

Vic Blancard has issued a wake-up callto the people of Burnaby who are bulliedand threatened by loss of view and highproperty taxes.

It all arises from the same old problemof high-density housing. Remember whenCentral Park was the only forest in SouthBurnaby? Now it’s a forest of apartmenttowers.

Everyone who wants to stay in theirown one- or two-storey single detachedhome is now a potential victim of themonetary greed of developers, real estateagents and our city council. They do nogood for anyone who wishes to raise afamily in this community and to contrib-ute to its success.

Blame the aforementioned the next timeyou’re stuck in traffic, going nowhere.Blame them for big increases in garbagegenerated, electricity used and increasedsmog.

Never should we let a government mes-senger lay a guilt trip on us about makingsmaller footprints. You can make as smalla footprint as you like. That just gives theaforementioned a little more space to addmore small footprints, which all add up to

one big one.A failure on the part of Vic Blancard

is a failure for us all, for everyone whowants to live in a single detached homewith a family and maybe a view of themountains.

Vic said this Monday would be his lasttime at a council meeting. But I’m bettinghe’ll be back so long as he can still getthere.

Jim Ervin, Burnaby

Corrigan and team havebeen good for BurnabyDear Editor:

This must be very trying times forany political party running against DerekCorrigan (BCA) and his team of council-lors and trustees.

Not only is Burnaby rated one of thebest-managed cities in all of Canada, butalso has become an example of how toachieve the fine balance of providing afavorable tax regime that encourages busi-nesses to invest in our city while providingall the necessary services to address theneeds of those less fortunate.

I defy anyone to list even one other localmunicipality that has done a better job.

In just the last week alone, the ultra-right-wing Fraser Institute has listedBurnaby as having the third lowest rate oftaxation out of 17 local municipalities.

I also attended the grand opening of thebrand new headquarters for the BurnabyNeigbourhood House, in the city-leasedpart of the new 46-storey tower that wasrecently built in Metrotown.

Thousands of Burnaby residents willbenefit from the many excellent programsand services the Burnaby NeighbourhoodHouse has, to make all Burnaby neigh-bourhoods better places to live.

In the meantime, all I seem to hear fromthe opposition is petty rants and no realvision on how they could possibly do abetter job.

More to the story on taxes

and practical – the voiceof reason who can lookacross the table at thebleeding heart and thedreamer and say, “That’sgreat, guys, but let’s getreal here. How are wegoing to make this workfor the taxpayers?”

I want someone whorepresents those whoare under-represented– whose background andlife experience give thema genuine understandingof what it’s like to not bepart of the white, straight,middle-aged, middle-classmale experience.

I want a troublemaker.The one who’s willing tostir the pot, to poke thehornet’s nest, to play dev-il’s advocate and preventtheir counterparts frombecoming settled and com-placent.

I want a peacemaker.

The one who listens with-out judgement, who hearsfrom all sides before mak-ing a decision, who findsthe middle ground whenthe debate is becomingpolarized, who under-stands the value of coop-eration and compromise.

You may be one ofthose things. You may bea few of those things. Youmay even be none of thosethings, and I might stillvote for you.

Because the real must-haves are just these:

I want a candidate withintegrity. I want one whotells the truth, for betteror for worse. I’d ratheryou disappoint me hon-estly than mislead me withwhat you think I want tohear.

I want one who acceptstheir own fallibility. Youare human. You will makemistakes. Just know how

to apologize, to clean upthe mess you made whenyou can, and learn fromthat mistake so you can goon to make a new one thenext time.

And, above all, I wantsomeone who cares.Whether you’re relativelynew to the area or whetheryour family roots go backgenerations, I want toknow that the city you’rerunning in matters to you.That you’re involved init, that you’re working tomake it better, that youwant to do your best forit and for all its residents– whether they voted foryou or not.

To all of you seeking aseat on school board andcouncil: Good luck outthere. And may the bestcandidates win.

Burnaby residents fed up withraccoons, crows and skunks feast-ing on the European chafer grubsin their lawns could be gettingsome help from the city nextspring.

Linda Cappelletti, the NorthBurnaby resident featured in theNOW’s first story on the prob-lem of raccoons tearing up lawnsto eat the European chafer beetlegrubs living underground (see“Raccoons feast on her grubbylawn” at www.burnabynow.com),recently spoke with a city staffer inthe environment department whotold her Burnaby was working ona solution to be tabled as part ofthe 2015 budget in April.

Coun. Dan Johnston confirmedthis with the NOW and addedthe city is aware of the damagethe infestation of European chafer

grubs is causing to lawns and cityproperty across Burnaby.

“There are actually pockets ofthe city where they seem to havecome back, and unfortunately it’sgoing to take another applicationof nematodes,” he said.

By the time the problemreached its height in 2004, theCity of Burnaby was employing acity-wide nematode program. In aletter to the NOW, Johnston wrotethat more than 19,000 squaremetres of city land were treatedfor European chafer beetles usingnematodes. The program alsooffered residents nematodes forpurchase at a subsidized price torid their own lawns of the peskygrubs. It has been about five yearssince the city has run such a pro-gram.

“The last time we had a sup-ply at Burnaby City Hall, andthe day they were made availablethere was lineup that was going

through the parking because peo-ple wanted to go in and get them,”he said.

Nematodes are roundwormsthat eat the European chafer grubsallowing homeowners and thecity to deal with the problem inan organic way rather than usingpesticides, which would contra-dict Burnaby’s pesticide use con-trol bylaw.

“It controlled it quite a bit. Imean, it’s like any other infes-tation, some people treat it andsome people don’t, and those thatdon’t make it a little harder forthose that do,” Johnston said. “It’sa pretty organic way to treat it. It’snot like using pesticides.”

But any homeowners hopingfor a solution to the problem rightnow are out of luck. Nematodeapplication is best done in Julyand August when the eggs havehatched and the grubs are mostvulnerable, according to the city’s

website.“And unfortunately we just

missed that,” Johnston added.Because of the resurgence of

chafers, Johnston said it is “very

possible” another round of nema-tode programs will be brought upduring budgeting in May 2015.

going to be obstructing us and taking stepsto do that, so it isn’t a surprise to us. It’sunfortunate,” he said.

Toth also pointed out that the reasonKinder Morgan is exploring the BurnabyMountain route is to avoid the residentialWestridge area, where the line would haveto cross private property. Also, if KinderMorgan can run the pipeline through themountain route, the company will decom-mission the current Westridge pipelineand run that through the conservationarea as well.

“We have a route option we are tryingto pursue from the standpoint of minimiz-ing disruption, and at the same time (theBurnaby Mountain route is) causing quitea large disruption,” he said.

Toth said the crews were on BurnabyMountain to set up safety zones at borehole 1 and 2, as well as Barnet MarinePark.

“The number 1 priority is the safety ofour crews,” Toth said. “With all the pro-testers and that, we didn’t feel it would besafe to be up on the mountain.”

Kinder Morgan needs to complete mul-tiple studies – environmental, archeologi-cal and geotechnical – to submit informa-tion to the National Energy Board, becausethe Burnaby Mountain routing option wasnot part of the original pipeline expansionapplication. In previous interviews with

the NOW, the company has also indicatedit may abandon the mountain route and goback to Westridge if work is significantlydelayed.

As for the protesters, they are also plan-ning their next moves. Collis said there isa large meeting scheduled for Wednesdaynight to talk with lawyers about legalstrategies.

The protesters are a mix of SFU pro-fessors, random Vancouver and Burnabyresidents, members of Burnaby ResidentsOpposing Kinder Morgan Expansion andan ad-hoc group called the Caretakers.They’ve been taking turns keeping an eyeon the conservation area for weeks, butsince Kinder Morgan issued the required48-hour notice to the City of Burnaby,Collis said they’ve increased their num-bers.

“We are on public land. There’s nocourt order banning anyone from beingon this land, so we just plan to be in thespace they want to work in, to make thatwork unrealistic, so they can’t do it,”Collis said.

Police maintained a presence on themountain Wednesday morning.

“We are impartial, and we are simplyhere to monitor the situation,” said StaffSgt. Andy LeClair. “We have three policeofficers here, and this is a public gathering.That’s where we are at.”

Kinder Morgan has an order from the

National Energy Board that prevents theCity of Burnaby from stopping the com-pany’s work crews, even though the landis a city-owned conservation area, andthe City of Burnaby is dead set againstthe pipeline expansion. Burnaby plans to

appeal the NEB order at the Federal Courtof Appeal level.

Kinder Morgan sought the NEB orderafter city staff ticketed the company’swork crews for cutting down trees in apublic park.

Burnaby Citizens Association trusteecandidates gained a formidable ally thisweek, after the local teachers’ union votedto endorse the civic party’s entire schoolboard slate.

“It is important to Burnaby teachersthat our trustees are advocates for a prop-erly funded, inclusive public education forevery student,” teachers’ asso-ciation president Rae Figurskytold the NOW.

She said staff reps voted ata meeting Tuesday to endorseincumbent trustees RonBurton, Meiling Chia, LarryHayes, Baljinder Narang,Harman Pandher and GaryWong, along with first-timeBCA candidate Katrina Chen,for the seven school boardseats.

“These are people who areclear in everything they’ve said that theywant to work with us,” Figursky said.

This is the second time the union hasthrown its support behind the BCA.

In 2011, Figursky said the union sawclear differences between the BCA, whichhas dominated both the school board andcity council exclusively since 2008 andheld a majority on both since 1987, andBurnaby Parents’ Voice.

The latter party had grown out of an ad-hoc group opposed to the school board’s2011 anti-homophobia policy.

“We saw that there were huge advan-tages to certain candidates and potential

disadvantages to others who were run-ning,” Figursky said of the union’s 2011endorsement of the BCA.

The Burnaby First Coalition, a new civicparty looking to unseat the BCA on Nov.15, includes several former members ofParents’ Voice, including trustee candidateHeather Leung.

But Figursky said neither the schoolboard’s anti-homophobia policy norBurnaby Parents’ Voice was specifically

mentioned during the meet-ing Tuesday.

“It was not a specific issue,”she said. “But do people rec-ognize people’s names fromwhat they’ve run for before?Yes.”

Figursky was quick to addthat not all Burnaby Firstcandidates opposed the anti-homophobia policy.

She said another importantfactor in her union’s endorse-ment was candidates’ views

on education funding.“We want trustees who will be fight-

ing for increased government funding,”Figursky said. “Some of the answers wehad back from the other candidates wasthat they would look for other sourcesof funding. It always makes me nervouswhen private companies are funding pub-lic schools.”

She said the teachers’ union will now bemailing, phoning and knocking on doorsuntil Nov. 15 to encourage local residentsto vote.

on hand to pose in a groupphoto after the agreementwas signed.

Asked about the timingof the announcement inthe middle of an electioncampaign in which all thetrustees and councilors onhand were also BCA can-didates, school board chairBaljinder Narang said itwas just a good-news storythe board wanted to tell.

“For optics it looks likeit’s related to this, but, youknow, in fairness, we havebeen working on this fortwo years,” she said. “Arewe doing this for the cam-paign? We’re saying we’reconducting school busi-ness. Yes, timing is great,but that’s when it’s come toa conclusion.”

Although Narang wasunclear how Chen wasinvolved in the agreementas a parks and rec commis-sioner, the board chair saidit was protocol to recog-nize any commissioner at acivic event.

“If other commissionershad decided to attend, theywould have come up aswell,” Narang said.

If you’ve been waiting forridesharing to come to Burnaby,prepare to wait some more.

On Monday, Burnaby citycouncil received a report fromstaff about San Francisco-basedridesharing company Uber andits intentions to expand intoCanada.

Uber allows drivers and pro-spective passengers to connectvia a smartphone app, with thepassenger paying for driving ser-

vices and the company taking acut of the fare.

While Uber operates in morethan 40 countries, the reportillustrated the city’s apprehen-sion to implementing rideshar-ing, calling it an “unlicensed andunregulated ‘taxi service.’”

“Wherever they’ve started,they’ve always been greetedwith controversy,” said Coun.Pietro Calendino. “In the cityof Toronto, for example, theybelieve that UberX, which is thetaxi part of their service, contra-venes city bylaws.

“Their drivers do not holdcity-issued licences, haven’t takencity-mandated training, have notput their cars through a city-mandated mechanical inspec-

tion, they lack safety equipment,and drivers may be inadequatelyinsured.”

Calendino wenton to note that Uberis banned in Brussels,Berlin, South Korea andparts of Australia. Cabdrivers worldwide havealso protested againstthe service.

Coun. Nick Volkowadmitted he is not a fanof Uber and commentedon the classification ofUber drivers as “inde-pendent contractors.”

“This is really a back-door attempt at deregulating theentire industry from all sorts ofrules and regulations that have

been in place historically,” hesaid. “Literally anybody whohas a four-door car can get into

the business of ferryingpassengers around inthe Lower Mainland.”

Volkow also criti-cized the company’spractice of “surge pric-ing,” the act of adjust-ing taxi rates if weatherconditions becomepoor.

Mayor DerekCorrigan emphasizedthe impact a rideshar-ing system could haveon the local taxi indus-

try and voiced his oppositionto it.

“I certainly am not attracted

to the idea of having this systemin place in Burnaby and losingwhat I think is the credibilityand reliability of taxi service,”he said. “It would take enoughmoney away from the taxi indus-try that the taxi industry wouldbe hurt, and then you wouldn’thave enough cars to provide theregular service.”

Council ultimately voted torefer the issue to the executivecommittee for further comment.

“I think we need to look at thisa little more closely and ensurethat, if this is to establish in ourneighbourhood, that it operateslegally and with safe vehicles,”said Calendino.

It’s that time of year again, when men around theworld start growing hairy ‘staches in the name of cancerresearch.

Burnaby’s fuzz got an early jump on the annualMovember cancer awareness campaign, which officiallykicks off Nov. 1, by hosting a staff barbecue for BurnabyRCMP on Tuesday. The lunchtime event raised $250 forthe Movember Foundation.

The foundation, which has a branch in Canada, aimsto get people talking about men’s health, particularlyprostate and testicular cancer in an “innovative, fun andengaging” way.

The annual event asks men around the world to growtheir ‘staches for 30 days through the month of Novemberand raise money for cancer research.

More than 23,600 men will be diagnosed with prostatecancer in Canada this year, and 4,000 men will die fromthe disease, according to the Movember Foundation.While not as many men will be diagnosed with testicularcancer in a year (about 1,000), it is the most common can-cer in men aged 15 to 29 years.

Q: As a newspaper publisher for more than20 years, you’ve had a unique view of the com-munity. What do you want readers to knowabout that role?

A: It’s the best job in town; there is notanother role in the community that allowsa person greater ability to get to person-ally know the townspeople. There is alsoa very fine line between doing it crediblyand making missteps. Publishers havethree masters: the reader, the story and theadvertiser. The newspaper cannot existwithout a heavy dose of all three, andoften two or three of the elements becomeintertwined and at times in conflict withone another. Without trust, a newspaperhas nothing. Finding that line that allowsthe reader the most enlightening andtimely information while not betrayinga source or inappropriatelytaking advantage of insideknowledge is difficult and notfor the faint of heart. I chal-lenge myself often with thequestions: what is right, whatis ethical and how should Iproceed. With great authoritycomes great responsibility.

Q: What is the highlight ofyour time here?

A: It’s hard to pick out justone highlight as there havebeen many experiences and many peopleI will remember and think about forever.Without question the last 20-plus years hasbeen the window in time for the greatestchange in the newspaper industry sincethe invention of the printing press.

The personal computer was the impetusof it all. Twenty years ago we manuallyprinted and glued up to full size on a largesheet of cardboard every detail of everypage of our newspaper – almost as an artstudent would create a collage project inclass – then we would photograph it andthe negative of the photo was used on theprinting press to create the printed page.

Today the page is built on a computerscreen, sent to and placed on the pressdigitally with nearly no paper, physical ormechanical intervention; it is all virtual.Learning the technologies, adapting tothem, attempting to remain on the leadingedge of them certainly has been one of thehighlights.

And now, this same technology in a21st-century iteration, has almost re-cre-ated the origins of the newspaper: thetown crier. We’ve gone from the chap whowould bellow through town the news andrumours of the day with resultant townhall or town pub amplification turninginto what really became “the news,” to

the invention of the printing press and theresultant profession of journalists, editorsand publishers who with minor excep-tion unilaterally pushed down what andhow you would read the news, to todayand full circle again with blogs and socialmedia sites like Facebook and Twitterallowing an instantaneous version of whatused to require people venturing togetherto the town hall or pub to discuss. Nowthis can be accomplished though key-strokes on a computer or smartphone.

This is having a dramatic effect on thenewspaper business, and its acceptanceand integration to what we are and arebecoming has been another fabulous learn-ing opportunity and had developed intoanother highlight.

Q: Newspapers are in a rapidly changinginformation environment. They are not merelynewspapers anymore, but sources of informa-tion and opinion in numerous forms (websitesetc.). What keeps a newspaper such as BurnabyNOW relevant to Burnaby residents?

A: Community newspapers are uniquein that they gather and report the newsand information specific to one townif they are doing it well. No one else inthe news and information business does

what we do. It is very seldomyou will see a reporter fromanother media type wherewe regularly go to sourcenews that is important to theresidents of our communi-ties. In Burnaby and NewWestminster, for instance, wehave reporters assigned to andwho regularly attend meet-ings scheduled for city council,parks and rec, library, minorsports and many other localevents of importance to ourresidents. As one example thatall can relate to: who else has

a photographer out covering youth soccergames on the weekends? The answer isno one. And except for the occasion whenthere is something salacious or of nationalimport that is going to be considered ata city council meeting or the like – andhow often does that happen – you won’tsee reporters from television, radio or thedailies there. So, we have unique informa-tion that matters to local folks, especiallyonce they become a parent or propertytaxpayer.

How we use it is changing dramatically.Traditionally we reported on it in an objec-tive, detached manner; hopefully with allsides of the situation reflected. That is stillhow you will see hard news reported inthe paper or on our website.

But more and more, our digital mediastreams – our website, Facebook pages,Twitter feeds and blogs – have becometwo-way modes of communicating evenmore detail that we could gather on ourown and that is shared with us. We solicitopinion, we further circulate this opinionthrough our various social media channels,particularly when it is hyper local.

This process has created even more ofa community feeling within our townsand presents a great opportunity for com-

munity newspapers to become even morevital to the communities we serve.

Q: A newspaper publisher is not just abusiness leader, but also a community leader. Ifthere is one quality that you think is indispens-able in a good business leader who is active inthe community, what would that be?

A: The notion that community serviceis all-important. Frankly there is noth-ing more important for a business leaderoutside of one’s direct business responsi-bilities than to give back and help build ahealthy place for all residents to work, liveand enjoy. If we are not invested in this,who will be and why should they be if weare not?

Q: As publisher of Burnaby NOW, you’vebeen a champion of many causes in this city,many of them helping people who have hittough times in their lives. Do you think this ispart of a newspaper’s responsibility?

A: I’m not sure, but I’ve chosen to see itas a legitimate offshoot of what I do pro-fessionally. In order to be a great commu-nity newspaper, it has to be fully engagedwith and reflective of the community. Notjust the healthy, progressive and success-ful components of the community but alsothe parts that can use a hand in favourabledevelopment.

I’ve tried to be helpful in both arenas

and certainly have unleashed the resourcesof the newspaper in efforts to help too. Itseemed the right thing to do.

Q: You’ve said you’ve learned many thingsfrom people in the community and people inthe newspaper industry. What is the biggestlesson of your career?

A: There are actually two guiding prin-ciples I’ve followed in the last 30 yearsor so. The first is: constancy of purpose.Completely understand, precisely as youcan, why you are there and what it is youare to achieve and then attach an undy-ingly disciplined focus to its achievement.

The second is: it is in team buildingand collaboration that sustainable busi-ness success is created. The right idea, theconcept and the direction is necessary butonly the start. Getting your people to dothe things that you want and need them todo because they desire to do them may bethe most important objective in achievinglong-term business success.

Q: Your role has changed over the decades,from publisher of a single newspaper to pub-lisher of two newspapers and most recently,regional publisher of three newspapers? Howdo you juggle so many roles, and how do youdetermine what is a priority in your job?

Charlford House Society for Women10th Annual “Reach for the Stars”


A: I’d like to say I’ve mastered it, but I haven’t. In thelast couple of years there has been only the very oddday that I’ve felt my work was satisfactorily complete atthe end of the day. But, I start with a daily review andbecoming certain of what exactly my role must be thatday and what are the tasks I must accomplish to oper-ate successful businesses. It’s a combination of a strategicthought process and a to-do list. Business and stakeholderrelationships and effective communication with my directreports are 1 and 1a. But this is a multi-faceted business,all phases of which require constant attention. If our busi-ness relationships are tight and the department heads areon point with the delegation strong and responsible, thenwe’re moving down the right track and I can extend topriorities two through ten.

Q: You are known as a boss who stays calm in the midst ofstormy times. Where did you learn this from, your parents?

A: I was one of the fortunate ones who had greatparents that were loving and took their parenting rolesresponsibly. I owe much, if not most, of who I am to them,and certainly that includes some of my calm demeanourin the face of crisis. I might have been born with some ofit; growing up and going to university in California in the‘60’s didn’t hurt – there’s a bit of “the Dude” in me – andsomewhere along the way I learned that no matter howbleak the current circumstances are, the sun will come uptomorrow and having a clear head and being analytical ina crisis effectively trumps hysteria, blaming or wringingyour hands.

Q: What are you personally most proud of during yourcareer with the Burnaby NOW?

A: Burnaby NOW was still in its infancy when I joinedit. It was a baby; a blank canvas. We were able to turn itinto a thriving business, a market leader, a force for goodin our community and a terrific and award-winning com-munity newspaper. The paper has made lots of friends inthe intervening 21 years, done lots of good, reported thenews fairly, and provided increasingly timely and impor-tant information to our citizens in increasing volumes andnow by the most current media streams beyond news-print. Through snowstorms and power outages, we’venever missed an edition or delivery day. And we provideour advertising clients absolutely great bang for their buckand unquestioningly favourable results. Basically I amproud of being a newspaper publisher and doing whatthey do as well as I knew how.

Q: If there was one thing you would have done differently inyour career, during or before the Burnaby NOW, what wouldthat be?

A: It’s hard to nail it down to one. I have made mis-takes and wished for do-overs when there were none to

be had. Thankfully, I have had a mostly successful career,and when I look back at the forks that were in my roadI have almost no regrets in which ones I chose, but I dowish I’d developed two tendencies earlier in my careerthat remain weaknesses and which I still work on to thisday. Firstly, I wish I were more nimble in my decision-making. I analyze, search the 360 degrees of a situationand ponder many situations too much. This does comefrom a proper motivation, wanting to be certain the rightdecision is taken, but there are there are times when sim-ply making any rational decision is the better choice forthat moment. The second – and it has relationship to thefirst – is that “you got to know when to fold ‘em,” as thelyric goes. Being ever the optimist comes with a price, andin business the most costly one is that situations do notalways improve regardless of the best thought, intentionor actions. It’s always been hard for me to cut my lossesand move on to the next objective.

Q: What advice would you give the new publisher?

A: This is a wonderful market and a wonderful town.There are great stories to find and tell and fabulous agen-cies, associations, people and businesses to develop rela-tionships with. You will almost never be disappointedin them. Treat them fairly and as you would want to betreated. You are privileged to be in this role, live it assuch.

Q: What are you looking forward to in retirement?

A: I don’t have grandiose goals for retirement. We aregoing to meet as a family next May in Italy, so that cer-tainly absorbs some thought. I hope to rejuvenate my loveof river fishing. I have what I think to be about a year’sworth of projects around the house I haven’t gotten to. Ihave a great family and a great life and I tell people I amjust going to live my life and not go to the office everyday. As someone wrote to me: no more Mondays. I havea couple of successful and entrepreneurial children whohave asked me to lend a hand in an informal capacity. If aproject comes my way that catches my interest, I certainlywill consider it. But retirement beckons. It’s time.

It’s billed as an “investigation into thethemes of devotion, ritual and myth,” andit’s coming to the stage at the ShadboltCentre for the Arts.

The Shadbolt Centre is kicking off its2014/15 Sole Series with the first dance per-formance of the season: Camino Al Tepeyac.

The performance has been created bySalomé Nieto, who ventures into the magicrealism of her own Mexican culture.

A press release notes that she uses reli-gious iconography, beliefs and traditionsas inspiration for the work, with CaminoAl Tepeyac becoming a metaphor for theconvergence of two religious beliefs inone female deity. The Mexicans called herTonantzin – and, after the conquest, hername became the Virgin of Guadalupe, andthe mother of the Mexican people in theCatholic faith.

The production is onstage Nov. 19 to 22,with shows nightly at 8 p.m. Tickets rangefrom $15 to $35. Call 604-205-3000 or seetickets.shadboltcentre.com to buy.

Lifetime warranty? Look for holes

Dear Tom and Ray:We just picked up a new Fiat500C, and we were ponderingthe lifetime warranty. Beforethe car hits 10,000 miles, wehave to decide whether to buyit. The cost is around $3,000.Is something like this worthit? We would like to keep thecar for 10-15 years. Cheers!

– Karl

RAY: Generally speak-ing, extended warrantiesare not worth it. Why?Because if insurance com-panies didn’t take in moremoney from premiums– overall – than they spenton repairs, they wouldstop selling the things.

TOM: But that doesn’tmean it’s not worth it toyou. Maybe you’re buyinga car with unknown long-term reliability? Hint: Youare.RAY: Or maybe you’resomeone who sleeps betterknowing for certain thatyou’ll never get a call fromthe service manager tellingyou that the estimate foryour new engine is $6,400.TOM: But there are twovariables to consider. Themost important is the fineprint.RAY: What does this “life-time warranty” actuallycover? Is it a completeextension of the factorywarranty? Is it just thepowertrain? Does it coverbody hardware and electri-cal issues? What, specifi-cally, is excluded? “Wearitems,” like brakes andshocks?TOM: What’s the deduct-ible? Are there conditionsyou have to meet to keepthe warranty in force? Forinstance, do you have to

get your car serviced regu-larly at the dealership?Do you have to keep writ-ten records of all of yourservices and oil changes?RAY: If you don’t feelcapable of doing a “closeread” of the warranty’sfine print by yourself,then it’s worth paying anindependent mechanic youtrust to read it and go overit with you.You want to know whatis and isn’t covered. Yourmechanic also can talk toyou about how often hesees the kinds of repairsthat are covered, and howoften he sees those thataren’t.TOM: Once you knowwhat kind of warrantyyou’re actually buying,then you can try to guessthe likelihood that you’llspend $3,000 on thosekinds of repairs in theyears that you own yourcar.RAY: Also keep in mindthat the price of the war-ranty is negotiable. Like

most “parts,” an extendedwarranty is bought by thedealer at one price, andsold to you at a higherprice – sometimes double.So you often can negotiatea lower price.TOM: But don’t do any-thing until you understandwhat the warranty actu-ally covers. It may be agreat warranty, with alow deductible and veryfew exclusions or require-ments. And it may helpyou sleep well for the next15 years.RAY: Or it may havemore holes in it than mybrother’s favorite under-wear. And you may decideyou’re better off buying asecond Fiat 500C and justdriving whichever one isworking on a given day.Good luck, Karl.Get more Click and Clack intheir new book, Ask Clickand Clack: Answers from CarTalk.

Learning on the fly pays off at natsIn traditional Japanese,

fly fishing is known liter-ally as “from heaven.”

Winning B.C.’s second-ever medal at the CanadianNational Fly FishingChampionships, and firstone in nearly a decade,was almost like a gift fromabove for Team Mustangcaptain Aaron Laing ofNew Westminster.

“We were consideredthe dark horse, if youpardon the pun, but witha solid game plan and agreat deal of research wewere able to win againstmany of the local teamsthat included world cham-pions and perennial favou-rites,” said Laing in a pressrelease.

“I knew what wasrequired. I put all my ideasto the team and it worked.It also didn’t hurt that wehad a couple of heavy hit-ters.”

B.C. placed second inthe team standings, whileteammate Vance Whitleyof Coquitlam won an indi-vidual silver medal at the12th annual champion-ships held at the KenaukNature reserve in south-eastern Quebec on Oct. 19.

The competition washeld on five separate lakesinside the reserve over asix-day period. B.C. wona gold medal in 2005 inCampbell River.

Unlike the image manypeople have of fly fishing,of a solitary angler waist-deep in water moving inzen-like slowness withevery cast of his rod, com-petitive angling is hardwork, said the 51-year-oldLaing.

“You wouldn’t believethe physical strain on thebody,” he said, addingcasting every minute fora three-hour stretch twicea day is not for the unpre-pared.

But it took more thanstamina to net a silvermedal for Team Mustang.

Competitors are divid-ed up between the variousvenues and fish againsteach other under equalconditions in morning andafternoon sessions.

Rankings are decidedby total fish caught andlength. They are alsojudged on how much care

and attention is taken inreleasing the fish.

“Ideally, you want lotsof small fish. It’s a num-bers game,” Laing said.

In a narrow three-hourwindow, decisions some-times have to be made andquickly – Do I land the fishor not?

The team aspect comesin when team memberscome together betweensessions and compare dailylogs on the water condi-tions, type of flies andweighted lines used, andthe productivity of each,what others were usingsuccessfully as they transi-

tion to the other venues.“Team sport is the key,”

Laing added. “You need astrong skill set from tyingflies, both lake and riverexpertise and, above all,cooperation.”

Laing did a lot of workpre-competition, mappingout the venues and mak-ing observations on theenvironment.

Many of the bodies ofwater chosen in competi-tions are on less produc-tive venues in an attemptto decrease the luck ele-ment as much as possible,among other factors.

It’s part of the fun Laing

derives from the sport thatonly comes with the com-petition, he said.

“You know, you go fish-ing and you’re out therewith your buddies and youenjoy yourself. But howdo you judge how wellyou’re doing?” Laing said.“I was shocked at howpoorly I did when I com-pared myself to the pros.Competition provides thatbenchmark. Innovationalso comes from competi-tion.”

That means making acomprehensive study of

Giantsoff tobeststart

The Northwest Giantsadded to their best B.C.major midget hockeyleague start, knocking offthe Valley West Hawks ina two-game series.

Mateo Coltellaro ofBurnaby scored his secondgoal of the season to givethe Giants a 6-5 win againstthe Hawks in Langley lastSaturday.

Ryland Chernomaz pot-ted a pair of back-to-backmarkers between the sec-ond and third periods toensure the Burnaby WinterClub-based team won 5-2over Valley West at homeon Sunday.

The wins improved theGiants’ first-place record to10-0, one point better thanthe Cariboo Cougars andtwo games in hand overthe runner-up club.

In Langley, the Giantsled 5-3 following a three-goal flurry in the middlestanza.

Valley West counteredwith two goals a minuteapart early in the final peri-od to knot the contest andset up Coltellaro’s eventualgame-winner.

At home, Justin Wilsonhad an early goal and anassist, and Austin McQuayand captain Keegan Jonesassisted on a pair of goalsapiece to put the Giants up4-1 heading into the thirdperiod.

The early 10-0 start isreminiscent of the Giants’18-0 run two season’s ago.But this year, it’s beenaccomplished despite inju-ries to key players.

“We’ve just been plug-ging along,” said Giants’head coach Clint Thornton.“What’s most encouragingis we’re 10-0 and nobody isin top 10 scoring.

“The kids are motivated.… It’s a team first attitudeand that’s what’s payingoff.”

The Giants face thefourth-place NortheastGiants this weekend,beginning Saturday at 5:30p.m. in Squamish beforewinding up the weekendat Planet Ice in Coquitlamwith a mid-morning fix-ture on Sunday.


Men moving up in Great NW soccer standings

Simon Fraser University movedup in the standings in NCAADivision II Great Northwest con-ference men’s soccer.

The Clan leapfrogged MontanaState Billings into third place fol-lowing two key conference winson the road last week.

The Clan started it off with a 1-0 upset victory over second-placeNorthwest Nazarene on Oct. 23.SFU backed up that up with a 3-1win over Billing last Saturday.

In Idaho, team captain JovanBlagojevic scored a world class,game-winning goal, lofting a 35-yard shot past the Nazarene keep-

er in the opening eight minutesof play.

Clan keeper Brandon Watsoncame up big with two saves topreserve the win.

“Tonight, the team showed themost character that I have seenfrom a team in a long, long time,”said Clan head coach Alan Kochin a press release. “It was a trueteam effort on the road. … theteam came together and playedfor each other.”

Against Billings, senior defend-er Alexander Kleefeldt opened thescoring in the sixth minute andtwo minutes later Blagojevic foundNico Espinosa with a cross intothe penalty area that the sopho-more midfielder hammered home

from five yards out.Blagojevic, who leads the Great

Northwest in shots, points andgoals, then gave the visitors a 3-0lead, deflecting a shot on goal offa defender and past goalkeeperTom Lohmann in the 23rd min-ute for his conference-leading 14thgoal of the season.

Watson’s shutout bid wasspoiled in the 82nd minute off athrow-in.

“This is one of the toughestplaces to play in our conferenceand our guys came out fired upand ready to compete,” said Kochin a second release. “It was anexcellent start and great perfor-mance by the team.”

SFU will close out its confer-

ence schedule with three con-secutive games at home, includ-ing Saturday against the winlessSouth Dakota School of Mines atTerry Fox Field. Game time is 7:30p.m.

Still strugglingThe Clan women lost 2-1 to

Seattle Pacfic despite freshmanmidfielder Elishah Jilling’s secondgoal in as many games in NCAAGreat Northwest women’s soccerplay.

Priya Sandhu made six savesin goal for the Clan, who wereoutshot 13-4 in the match.
