Fireworksstill up forsale in city

As ghouls, goblins and othercreatures prepare to roam thestreets of Burnaby Friday night,police officers and firefighterswill be keeping a close eye onHalloween celebrations takingadvantage of the city’s one-night-only fireworks policy.

Every year around mid-October,fireworks shops start cropping upin empty commercial spaces allover the city. With flashy, over-sized signs posted on the store-fronts, the businesses are hard tomiss.

Burnaby is one of only a fewremaining municipalities in theLower Mainland that still allowsthe sale of fireworks during theHalloween season. Fireworks can

City launches federal appeal on NEB rulingThe City of Burnaby is appealing a

National Energy Board order that allowsKinder Morgan to survey BurnabyMountain for a new pipeline route, againstthe city’s wishes.

The appeal is the latest developmentin a long legal battle between the Cityof Burnaby and Kinder Morgan, whichwants to run the pipeline through the

conservation area but must first survey theland to see if the route is feasible.

“We want to strike down the NEB rul-ing altogether,” said the city’s lawyer GregMcDade. “We think this is a matter thathas to be decided by a higher court.”

McDade said the appeal will be filedwith the Federal Court of Appeal some-time this week and that the city and mayorare “leaving no stone unturned” in theirefforts to protect the conservation area.

Kinder Morgan plans to resume work

on Wednesday. An interim order couldtake some time, McDade explained, andthe only thing now standing in the compa-ny’s way is a handful of protesters keepingwatch on the mountain.

“In the meantime, this is up to the citi-zens. The NEB order binds Burnaby, but itdoesn’t bind anyone else,” McDade said.

Last Thursday, the National EnergyBoard issued the order, which means thecity cannot stop Kinder Morgan fromworking on the mountain, even though it’s

municipal land and Burnaby is opposed tothe expansion. Mayor Derek Corrigan wasnot surprised by the news and said theNEB process was deeply flawed.

“It’s not surprising they will attemptto extend their authority to run our city,”he said.

Stephen Collis, an SFU English profes-sor opposed to the pipeline, told the NOWthere are two phone trees of people who are

Corrigan steadfastly against pipeline,while Hancott reserves judgment

Election Day is less than threeweeks away, and the race is on forBurnaby’s mayoral hopefuls, whoare voicing their opinions on someof the city’s biggest concerns.

The NOW asked Burnaby’smayoral candidates where theystand on the proposed KinderMorgan pipeline expansion – thetop issue in our reader survey–and what conditions would needto be met to make it appropriatefor the city.

Mayor Derek Corrigan’s anti-pipeline stance has been well pub-licized, and it was abundantlyclear by his email response thathis stance has not changed.

“We are not prepared to acceptthe Kinder Morgan expansionwith or without conditions,” wroteCorrigan. “But if the National

Energy Board allows the expan-sion over our objections, we willensure Burnaby’s interests andthe interests of its citizens.

“There is no requirementfor us to reach condition-al agreements withKinder Morgan.”

Burnaby FirstCoalition’s leaderDaren Hancott,on the otherhand, took a morem i d d l e - o f - t h e -road approach inan effort to representthe diverse views of hiscoalition.

“We have people in our groupthat support it and we have peo-ple in our group that don’t sup-port it,” he said. “The issue is, is itgood enough for Burnaby and isthere enough jobs for the risk thatwe’re taking, and the answer is I

don’t know.”He also noted that out of sev-

eral thousand residents who he’sspoken to through door-knock-

ing, the pipeline has only beenbrought up six times.

“If that was a bigissue, an election

issue, I’d be hear-ing it a lot more,”he said. “There’ssome smolderingthings going onthere, but it’s not

the fire Mr. Corriganwants to make it out

to be.”Other mayoral candidates,

however, sided with Corrigan:former school trustee HelenChang and ex-mayoral candidateSylvia Gung both stated they areopposed to the pipeline.

“They have to make sure theirpipeline expansion project installs

all safety measures that couldcontrol/stop any unexpecteddisaster quickly and let the publicknow their response protocol inadvance,” wrote Chang regardingher conditions for the expansion.

Gung said there are other pri-orities that need to be addressedbefore going after the pipeline.

“We have to do the first thingfirst, which involves settling theprices of goods and services sothat the poor can recover somehope, clearing corruption, andbalancing our broken education,”she wrote. “Without these donefirst, or at the least start workingon it first, all the new develop-ment brings further destructionbecause there is no back up powerwhatsoever.”

Candidates Raj Gupta andAllen Hutton did not respond bypress time.

WHERE THEY STAND ON THE PIPELINE:

Jacob Zinnstaff reporter

BFC says it’s ‘bylaw hypocrisy’First brochures at public librar-

ies, now bike racks and bus shel-ters.

The Burnaby CitizensAssociation is under fire for anoth-er apparent breach of the city’ssign bylaw. The Burnaby FirstCoalition recently issued a pressrelease criticizing the incumbentparty for its political advertis-ing on city property, namely atbus stops, on transit vehicles andalong sidewalks and boulevards.

“The blatant bylaw hypocrisyhere is a sign – pardon the pun – ofthis democratic deficit,” said BFCmayoral candidate Daren Hancottin the statement. “We call on themayor to show some respect forthe rule of law by either followingor scrapping this undemocraticbylaw immediately.”

Prior to the 2011 election,TEAM Burnaby brought up the

issue of the signage placementas the BCA’s signs popped up onprivately owned bike racks andrecycling containers. At the time,the city was also taking ownershipof all city bus shelters after decid-ing not to renew an advertisingcontract with Pattison Outdoor.

However, Doug Louie, assis-tant director of engineering withthe city’s traffic and parkingdepartments, said Pattison stillcontrols that ad space.

“The bus shelters are city-owned, but the advertising is con-tracted out to an advertising com-pany – Pattison, in this case – andthey manage all the advertising,”he said. “It is third-party advertis-ing through Pattison.”

Likewise, the advertising onbike racks and recycling contain-ers is handled by third-partygroups, making it separate fromthe city’s sign bylaw.

DID BURNABY POLITICAL INCUMBENTS VIOLATE THEIR OWN BYLAW?

Legal signage: This BCA election sign is on private property – alegal message. The BCF contends the BCA was placing signs onpublic property in possible violation of the city’s bylaw.

be sold between Oct. 25 and 31 eachyear, according to the Burnaby fire ser-vices bylaw. This year, the fire departmentissued 19 vendors permits to sell fireworksand there are five additional permits pend-ing.

While there has been talk in recentyears of banning the sale of fireworks (themost recent was at a March 18, 2013 coun-cil meeting after the Heights MerchantsAssociation sent a letter to council voicingits concerns about the fly-by-night fire-works stores’ signage) the city has contin-ued to allow the sale of fireworks, oftensaying a ban wouldn’t necessarily meanthe end of fireworks in Burnaby.

Both the Burnaby Fire Department andRCMP say fireworks aren’t as big of aproblem as they once were.

Greg Mervin, the Burnaby FireDepartment’s chief fire prevention officer,said there’s been a noticeable downturn infireworks-related problems in the past fewyears and this year is shaping up to be nodifferent.

“We’ve had no issues yet this year,” hetold the NOW.

In the event fireworks are set off beforeOct. 31, it is within the jurisdiction of theBurnaby RCMP to handle any complaintsthat come in. If officers determine fire-works are being set off on a day other thanHalloween, the fireworks are seized.

So far this year, however, there havebeen no significant problems or com-plaints, according to Staff Sgt. Maj. JohnBuis.

Buis said he’s noticed far fewer fire-works set off across the Lower Mainland

compared to a decade ago, but withHalloween happening on a Friday thisyear it could mean a resurgence of thepopular pyrotechnic displays.

Whether the decline means the regula-tions laid out in the bylaw are discouragingpeople from buying and using fireworks,it’s hard to say – the city’s last report onthe sale of fireworks was completed in2012 and nothing new has been publishedon the subject since then.

Across the border in New Westminster,the sale of fireworks has been banned for10 years following city council’s outcrythat fireworks were causing “havoc” inneighbourhoods. At the height of the issuein 2003, the police department recorded128 fireworks-related complaints.

But the ban doesn’t prohibit residentsfrom setting off fireworks on Halloween.

According to the city’s fire protectionbylaw, from 4 p.m. on Oct. 31 to Nov. 1at 12 a.m. residents in the Royal City areallowed to set off low-hazard fireworks,including pin-wheels, golden rain, lawnlights, showers and fountains and volca-noes. Roman candles and firecrackers arebanned in New West.

Burnaby and New Westminster requirethat all fireworks discharged on Halloweenare done so by an adult 18 years or olderand on private property with the owner’sconsent.

In either city, residents can detonatefireworks on days other than Halloween(for celebration purposes) as long as theyapply for a permit through the local firedepartment.

The association that runs the Burnabymosque is launching a new campaign tocounter propaganda from terrorist groupslike ISIS.

The plan was announced Friday, at apress conference at the Burnaby mosque,following a deluge of media inquiries onOttawa shooter Michael Zehaf-Bibeau andhis connection to the local mosque.

“We want to convey a clearpicture of what Islam is,” saidMufti Aasim Rashid, the B.C.Muslim Association’s spokes-person and head imam. “Wewant to explain why criminalviolence is not accepted inIslam. And those students,youngsters, that are confusedabout things who are maybeconsidering, ‘What’s wrongwith ISIS? You know, it’s allIslamic,’ we want to clarifyfor them why it’s not Islamic and why thisis not something a Canadian could everthink about doing, and for people alreadyinvolved to explain why they have to getout.”

Rashid sat alongside Dave Critchley,chief superintendent of the BurnabyRCMP, and Assistant CommissionerWayne Rideout, the officer in charge ofinvestigative services and organized crimefor the B.C. RCMP.

Rashid said the association plans to getits message out through social media andeducation programs in schools and post-secondary institutions, first in the LowerMainland, then across B.C. and Canada.Rashid came up with the idea for the anti-terrorism campaign, which he’s hoping tolaunch before Christmas.

“I’m the one who has presented thisto the law enforcement people, and I’verequested them to take this on,” Rashidsaid. “Can’t this be introduced as part of

mainstream education? Can’twe have workshops for par-ents and kids and educators– train-the-trainer type of men-tality?”

The RCMP and CSIS havealready been working withthe association since 2005 toidentify any potential terroristthreats or people who havebecome self radicalized, but asRideout indicated, police arenot sure if Zehaf-Bibeau was

a bona fide terrorist or someone who wasmentally ill, as the case is still under inves-tigation.

As reported in the Burnaby NOW,Zehaf-Bibeau had been kicked out of theBurnaby mosque a couple of years ago,after it was discovered he had obtainedkeys and was sleeping inside the buildingat night. The mosque kicked him out and

Other than the installationof a screening device (tobe used only at certain

times), I don’t expect there tobe many changes to securityat the B.C. legislature, even inthe wake of last week’s terribleevents on Parliament Hill.

And that’s the way thingsshould be.

The murder of Cpl. NathanCirillo while he kept watch atthe National War Memorial wasunspeakably evil and tragic, andit understandably sent shock-waves across the country.

But the killing was the workof a drug addict whose life hadunravelled and was spinning outof control. The tragedy was notthe result of state-sponsored ter-rorism or a jihad but was insteadan awful example of an individ-ual running amok.

And so this horrible epi-sode should not be an excusefor curbing civil liberties orencroaching on the freedom ofthe general public. Instead, itshould compel governments totake more action when it comesto fighting drug addiction ordealing with mental health

issues.That’s not to say there isn’t

a need to re-examine secur-ity levels, where appropriate.There appears to be little doubtthe whole episode revealedsome serious security flaws onParliament Hill, but they don’texist in the same manner at theB.C. legislature.

For example, the killer onParliament Hill was able to rundown a hallway that allowedaccess to the caucus rooms oftwo political parties, which pot-entially made him a menace tothe prime minister.

But at the B.C. legislature, thecaucus offices of both major par-ties are inaccessible to the public.In fact, half of the main buildingis already off-limits to the public,and so are both annexes (onehouses the government caucus,while the other is the premier’soffice).

The back half of the building(which includes the legislativechamber itself, as well as thelibrary and various cabinet andcaucus offices) is accessible onlythrough an electronic pass card,which is issued only to staff andoccasionally to approved vis-itors.

The front part of the building,where the public is free to roam,also includes offices, but everyone of them is behind a doorthat is locked 24 hours a day. Aswell, there are at least severalsecurity guards in sight at all

Have a scary but safe Halloween in the cityEveryone wants Halloween to be

a fun experience, for themselves andespecially for their children.

It is, unfortunately, a time of yearwhen the fun and excitementof the celebration can getmixed up with tragedy.

More and more, parentsare foregoing much of the door-to-doortradition of collecting candy, and tak-ing their gruesomely – or awesomely– masked kids to neighbourhood par-ties or other safe, organized groupactivities.

But if you’re opting to include trick-or-treating in your child’s Halloweenexperience, some reasonable prepara-tions will help to ensure it is the foun-

dation for happy memories.First and foremost, trick-or-

treating is more fun – and alot safer – when it is a group

activity. Share the fun with friends, andnever go alone.

Don’t just pick costumes and masksfor their scary or dazzling qualities– visibility is important too.

Make sure your kids can see easily

from behind their masks, and ensurethat their costumes keep them visibleon the sidewalks and especially on thecrosswalks – which they should alwaysuse instead of jaywalking and dartingthrough traffic.

In fact, it may be difficult with allthe excitement of the evening, but tryto slow those kids down a bit.

Help motorists by mitigating the dis-tractions of ghosts and ghouls jumpingin and out of their headlights.

And if you’re going to have a fire-works display – follow the city’s rules.

They are there to help protect you.Only trick-or-treat at homes where

you are welcome – porch lights or litpumpkins and decorations make theinvitation obvious, while darkness is aclear indication that the homeownersdon’t share your Halloween enthusi-asm.

And kids, don’t dig into that wind-fall of candy until it has been inspectedby an adult.

Unfortunately, over the years, it hasbecome quite clear that, although rare,some of Halloween’s monsters are real.

Fear shouldn’tcurb civil liberties

Safety is a worry in HighgateDear Editor:

I too am concerned about the safety of my neigh-bourhood, the Highgate area, which I have lived infor five years.

Twice I have phoned the traffic department andhave been told they are aware of the problem.

The corners of Arcola and Walker, Arcola andHall, and Arcola and Salisbury all require four-waystop signs and painted crosswalks. This area isextremely busy at all hours of the day.

Just north of the new Edmonds CommunityCentre there is a brand new intersection at Fultonand Vista with stop signs and a painted crosswalkon all four sides. This is a very low traffic and pedes-

trian area. I do not want to detract from the safety ofthis area, but Highgate has a very high populationdensity with the many highrises in the area and alarge shopping centre which attracts people.

Surely the people of Highgate deserve to be safe,too.

to pay for hospitals they, like our mayorand council, would be advocating for sec-ondary resource jobs in Canada insteadof supporting the “extract and exportCanada’s resources expediently” agendaof our current federal government.

Canadian jobs mean Canadian incometaxes, which pay for Canadian hospi-tals. Just ask employees at the BurnabyChevron refinery who, if the pipeline goesthrough, may be out of work if KinderMorgan starts piping bitumen instead ofsemi-refined oil to our coast.

I hope that when the Burnaby Board ofTrade does the math that they’ll see KinderMorgan’s plans to triple pipeline capac-ity will steal jobs from Canadians, furtherundermining our ability to pay for univer-sal healthcare and vital infrastructure.

City hall needs to help outDear Editor:

Re: Just get us some sidewalks already,Burnaby NOW, Opinion, Oct. 24.

Burnaby is more than one hundredyears old or more than one year old? Ihope every candidate for the coming elec-tion knows the answer.

Burnaby is in the central location ofGreater Vancouver with beautiful DeerLake and Burnaby Lake, but looks like

an undeveloped rural county. It is so badthat lots of neighborhoods still have nosidewalks.

According to city hall, property ownersshould pay for the necessary infrastructure.But the problem is some property ownersdon’t have extra money; some don’t carebecause they don’t live there.

So city hall has an excuse to ignore theinfrastructure. My question is, why can’tcity hall use property tax to build side-walks?

Yes, it is shameful that Burnaby is acity known for its vast financial reservesand yet distinctive lack of sidewalks. Iagree that if Mayor Corrigan and his BCAcontinue to be unwilling to do so, then it’stime to elect someone who actually will.

We just want to make Burnaby a betterplace to live.

Irene Shi, Burnaby

Council is hypocriticalDear Editor:

I cannot believe the hypocrisy ofBurnaby council re: Elias Ishak’s signs andCorrigan’s brochures (with picture) placedin Burnaby libraries. Has he been in officetoo long?

Also, are the last-minute mayoralitycandidates toadies (Corrigan’s word) forhim, to split the vote and ensure his re-election. Is he afraid he will also lose hisfree golf for him and his cronies?

E. Richardson, Burnaby


Math doesn’t add up

times, and a series of sur-veillance cameras keeptrack of everything hap-pening outside, on thelegislature grounds.

That screening devicewill be installed in thebasement, and the pub-lic will have to enter thebuilding after passingthrough this machine – butlikely only on days whenthe legislature is sitting(a metal detector alreadyexists for those wanting tosit in the public gallery towatch a legislature sitting).

In other words, nota lot of change to secur-ity is likely needed, norexpected. There is a reviewunder way of existingsecurity measures, buthopefully it concludesthat the openness of the“people’s house” takesprecedence over any majorclampdown on freedom of

movement.But this focus on secur-

ity reviews is somewhatmisplaced. The ParliamentHill shooter was addictedto crack cocaine, and heactually committed a pre-vious crime (a robbery)in order to be thrown injail, where he thought hewould have an opportun-ity to be treated for hisaddiction.

Instead, he was releasedfrom jail after just one dayin custody. The fact hebegan to immerse himselfin radicalized Islam isindeed part of the narra-tive here, but only part ofit.

The shooter appearsto have become isolated,angry, frustrated and des-perate.

This in no way excuseshis monstrous crime, ofcourse, but it is foolish tothink that simply hiring

more security guards orinstalling more surveil-lance cameras is the properway to deal with someonein his situation.

By all means, Canadahas to be vigilant to thereality of the modernworld when it comes tofighting terrorism. But wemust also be more pro-active when it comes topreventing drug addictionand treating mental healthissues.

If we don’t, we maywitness other shocking,horrible events like lastweek’s tragedy in Ottawa.But they will have hadnothing to do with ter-rorism, and everything todo with society turning ablind eye to a the lingeringand growing problems ofdrug addiction and mentalhealth.

“It’s not your typical electionsigns that we associate with ourbylaw – the bylaw we have thatregulates that actually pertainsto what we call the lawn signs ortemporary billboard signs, andthose can’t be located on city

property,” said Louie, noting thecity has authority to remove signsthat violate the bylaw.

In response to complaintsfrom the BFC, the city reviewedits sign bylaw to determine if theBCA was in violation of the leg-islation. However, the city found

that the bylaw allows for electionsignage on public property undercertain conditions.

According to the bylaw, politi-cal signs are not permitted onpublic boulevards “without priorthe consent of city council and thewritten agreement of the appli-

cant to remove the signs withinthree days after the campaign,drive or event has concluded.”

“As indicated, and underlinedfor reference, Section 9 (iii) spe-cifically allows for the displayof political or election tempo-rary signs which are lawfully

permitted under the Burnabysign bylaw,” reads the review.“This permitted signage includesa number of opportunities fortemporary signage on privateand public property, which arefurther defined by other sectionsof the bylaw.”

ready to gather on the mountain. Onegroup is mostly BROKE members(Burnaby Residents Opposing KinderMorgan Expansion), while the others hecalls “caretakers” or “citizen rangers,” butthe overall group is “large.”

“People are willing to be obstacles,even if that means risking arrest,” Collissaid.

Alan Dutton, a member of BROKE,said a small group has been monitoringthe area for some time.

“We have been mobilizing and trainingpeople for the last three weeks or so, andwe are ready. People will be present onthe mountain, occupying the conservationarea, as they have a right, and they will

be having picnics instead of pipelines,”he told the NOW. “We have been ready toactivate our telephone network to advisepeople if Kinder Morganstarts to do their work.”

Dutton echoedMcDade’s comment,pointing out that the NEBorder only applies to theCity of Burnaby, and notregular citizens and theirright to peaceful assem-bly.

“The NEB decision does not speak tothe right of people to use that area,” hesaid.

“We are going to go as far as thelaw permits,” he added. “We’re going

to apply to the city for a permit to havepicnics – not pipelines, in the park – andI’m hoping we’ll have many residents

supporting us.”Dutton, speaking

personally and not onbehalf of BROKE, alsoraised the possibility ofcivil disobedience.

“I believe, personally,in certain circumstanc-es, civil disobedienceis a moral imperative,

and sometimes it is ethically and mor-ally imperative to oppose laws whichare against the will of the people,” hesaid, adding the protesters have attendedworkshops on their legal rights.

Kinder Morgan wants to twin the TransMountain pipeline, which runs oil fromAlberta to Burnaby.

The route in Burnaby will go throughnew territory, and the company wantsto drill or tunnel through BurnabyMountain. Kinder Morgan started surveywork already but stopped when the Cityof Burnaby ticketed the company for cut-ting trees in a public park.

The National Energy Board Act allowscompanies to conduct survey work andbuild pipelines on Crown land and privateproperty without the owners’ permission,but this case with Burnaby was the first-ever conflict involving a municipal land.

changed the locks, but didn’treport him to police.

“He was not doing anythingcriminal,” Rashid said.

Rashid described Zehaf-Bibeau as a somewhat rude,reclusive character who didn’thave any friends at the mosque.Rashid also referenced com-ments in the Globe and Mail madeby Dave Bathurst (a friend ofZehaf-Bibeau and co-owner ofa Burnaby irrigation business)suggesting Zehaf-Bibeau was notmentally stable.

“If I were to add something tothat, I would say this guy has ahistory of using some very harddrugs. He was smoking crack

cocaine. Even if he wasn’t men-tally ill, the drugs would definite-ly be impacting himand his life in gen-eral,” Rashid said.

Meanwhile, theassociation hasreceived anti-Islamicemails, followingWednesday’s Ottawashooting.

Musa Ismail,president of B.C.Muslim Association,expressed concernsabout Islamophobicbacklash.

“We are very con-cerned,” Ismail told the NOW.“This goes on every time there’s

an incident like this, anywhere inthe world, not even in Canada,

we get this type ofthreats. Not we, only,I think most Muslimorganizations acrossCanada get thosekind of threats.”

Ismail told theNOW the threats weredirected to B.C. mus-lims in general, notthe Burnaby mosquein particular.

Critchley saidlocal RCMP were notplanning on standingguard at the Burnaby

mosque.“There’s nothing to indicate

a police presence is required,”he said.

Zehaf-Bibeau is not the onlyproblematic characterwith a connection to theBurnaby mosque. Localresident HasibullahYusufzai, who wascharged with leavingCanada to join a terror-ist group, also attendedthe Burnaby mosque, butRashid was not aware ofany connection betweenthe two men. (Yusufzaiis still wanted and atlarge.)

Rashid also had amessage for Burnaby residentswho may be worried, given these

two men attended the Burnabymosque.

“Anyone who knows themosque will knowabout their openness,their friendliness, andall of the communityinitiatives that areataking place here. Wedon’t want to changethat,” he said.

“The individualsthat came here andprayed here did notget radicalized at thismosque or because ofanything happening atthis mosque or through

individuals that were attendingthis mosque.”

The Burnaby Teachers’Association invited all but oneschool board candidate to a gettogether with local teachers recent-ly.

Independent candidate EliasIshak was left out in the cold.

“I was informed by anoth-er school trustee candidate whoexpected to see me there,” Ishaktold the NOW in an email.

The UBC sociology student,whose platform includes doingaway with compulsory education,called the move “petty.”

Local teachers’ union presidentRae Figursky, however, said the

Oct. 17 event was “very informal,”and she and the union’s local elec-tions contact (a BTA member elect-ed to deal with elections communi-cation) decided not to invite Ishakbecause he already had more infor-mation available on the Internetthan other candidates.

“His website madeeverything so clear thatwe chose not to invitehim,” she said.

But the content ofIshak’s website and hisCity of Burnaby candi-date profile, which sayscompulsory educationhas bred “tyranny” andthat students under thecurrent system “suffer,like mice and monkeys inexperiments beyond their control,”was not the reason he wasn’t invit-ed to the teacher soiree, accordingto Figursky.

“People are entitled to have theirown opinion,” she said. “It wasn’t

any decision about the content ofwhat he was saying; it was that hehad so much more information.”

As for denying the independentcandidate the chance to connectwith teachers at the event, she saidonly about 15 teachers

attended tomingle withthe 11 can-didates whocame out.

“Our exec-utive knew;22 peopleknew whatdecision wehad made,and we’re finewith that,”Figursky said.

Ishak, however, said the associ-ation’s reason for not inviting himdoesn’t make sense.

“My understanding is that othercandidates have websites as well,and they were still invited,” he

said.He said he believes he wasn’t

invited because he “speaks truth topower,” and the union didn’t wantto hear what he had to say.

“I expect this sort of thing,”Ishak said, “and Idon’t blame the presi-dent. It’s not her fault.It’s the fault of ourcowardly political cul-ture, which she has toconform to.”

The local teachersunion has since sentIshak a question-naire to fill out, andhis answers will beincluded in informa-tion the teachers’ asso-

ciation sends out about candidatesto its members and to teachersfrom other districts who live inBurnaby.

Burnaby parents will get achance to grill would-be trustees atan all-candidates meeting on Nov.5.

The district parent advi-sory council (DPAC) is hostingthe event – at 7 p.m. at StoneyCreek Community School (2740Beaverbrook Cres.) – and the focuswill be on educational issues from

parents’ point of view.“It will be parent oriented; how-

ever, we’re inviting the public tocome to the event as well,” DPACchair Jen Mezei told the NOW.“Even though a lot of the questionswill be geared to education froma parent perspective, I think thatthere will be a lot of communitymembers that will be just as inter-ested.”

Parents and other members ofthe public are encouraged to email

DPAC ahead of time with questionsthey want candidates to answer.

All trustee hopefuls have beeninvited, and so far all but BurnabyFirst Coalition candidate MariaParente and current BurnabyCitizens Association school boardchair Baljinder Narang have saidthey will be there.

Narang will be out of town andnot able to attend, according toMezei.

Mezei said getting trustee can-

didates together at their own meet-ing is important because it can behard to find out where they standon specific education issues whenthey’re mixed in with mayoral andcouncil contenders.

“Having two hours for a meet-ing when it’s to focus specificallyon educational issues, as parentsand especially as DPAC we feel isvery important,” Mezei said.

When it comes to decorating for Halloween, the Quartofamily leaves no ghastly piece of earth unturned at theirBurnaby home on Dundas Street.

Husband-and-wife team Sandra and Tony handlethe front-yard decorations, while their 28-year-old sonFrancesco amasses a small army of friends to turn thebackyard into a Halloween display of monstrous propor-tions.

The Dundas Nightmare, as Francesco calls it, is 1,500square feet of haunted horrors, with 10 rooms, live actors,lights, props, fog machines and music.

“We’ve got the whole nineyards,” Francesco said. “It’s alittle eerie. Definitely there’s alot of anticipation as to what’sgoing to be around the corner.”

There are rooms, dark hall-ways, a torture chamber, a butch-er shop and frights coming fromthe least expected places. Anestimated 150 hours of labourwent into the display.

“It’s a little different this year.We always try to add some newthings,” Francesco said. “This isthe best year yet, and we havea little surprise for the publicin the last room of this year’shaunted house.”

The suggested age of entry is 12 or 13 years, butFrancesco said he leaves it up to the parents’ discretion.The actors can also tone the fear factor down if there aresmall children who want to go through the display, heexplained.

“We want everyone to have that experience and enjoyit and not terrify children,” he said.

The Quartos’ annual display started eight years ago,with Francesco’s love of horror as an inspiration, andthree years ago, the family started collecting donationsto B.C. Children’s Hospital. In 2013, they collected morethan $1,000 for the hospital, and this year, the goal is$2,000. (At press time, the family had raised more than$500 online.)

The Quarto family home is at 4260 Dundas St. The dis-play is open on Oct. 30, from 6 to 10 p.m., and on Friday,Oct. 31 (Halloween) from 6 p.m. till late, depending onattendance. There is candy for trick-or-treaters at thefront of the house, and there will also be hot chocolateavailable.

For more information or to make a donation, go todundasnightmare.com.

“We’re really trying to encourage people to even put ina dollar towards this good cause,” Francesco said.

For the seventh year in a row Burnabyfirefighters proved they can shake theirboots like no other.

The local fire department, which wasrecently honoured at Muscular DystrophyCanada’s firefighters awards banquet,raised $45,000 for the charity during its2013 Fill the Boot drive, earning the awardfor top single boot drive in B.C.

“It just speaks of the pride that ourdepartment has in muscular dystrophy,”said Derek Cousins, a Burnaby firefighterand one of the organizers of the annualevent. “Everybody supports it; everybodyis out there.”

The Fill the Boot event raises moneyfor Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s vari-ous provincial chapters. The funds raisedgo towards research into the disease andequipment for those already diagnosed.

To be able to support an organizationthat helps people who aren’t able to domany of the things firefighters are luckyenough to be able to do, is a great thing,Cousins added.

“Firefighters see themselves as morefit individuals, active in exercise, sports,and muscular dystrophy is a disease thataffects the lifestyle of the clients so theycan’t do any of that stuff,” he said.

Muscular dystrophy is a neuromus-cular disorder often caused by geneticmutations passed down through genera-tions. Most often it affects young childrenbut can also present itself in adults aswell, according to Muscular DystrophyCanada.

People diagnosed with the disordereventually lose muscle strength, leavingthem without the ability to do many thingsmost people take for granted, includingwalking and breathing.

Cousins has participated in the Fill theBoot drive every year since becoming aBurnaby firefighter seven years ago, andfor the past three years he has sat on theboot drive’s organizing committee over-seeing the daylong fundraising event.

“For the boot drive, it’s not mandatorybut it kind of goes without saying thateverybody does do it, and all the time outthere on the street is volunteer,” he said.

Starting at 5 p.m. on Nov. 21 andrunning until about 6 p.m. on Nov. 22,Burnaby firefighters will turn up the heat

once again for the 2014 Fill the Boot drive.Cousins said he hopes the department willcontinue to raise top dollars for MuscularDystrophy Canada.

“We only have the intention to try andmake it better and just continue to raisefunds,” Cousins said.

For more information on the upcom-ing fundraiser, visit the group’s Facebookpage at “Burnaby Firefighters for MuscularDystrophy.”

Best foot forward: From left, Burnaby firefighters Brent Braeder, Chad Wren and Derek Cousins will be out in November shakingtheir boots for Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s annual Fill the Boot drive fundraiser. Burnaby was recently honoured for raising themost money in a single event after raising $45,000 in the 2013 fundraiser. This is the seventh year in a row the department has toppedthe list of fundraisers.

Burnaby’s Mark Angelo, aworld-renowned conservationist,is the newest inductee into theFraser River Discovery Centre’shall of fame.

Angelo, the founder of WorldRivers Day, told the Burnaby NOWhe feels honoured and thinkshighly of the centre’s work.

“They do so much to create agreater awareness of the impor-tance of the Fraser,” he said.

The centre chose Angelobecause of his decades of workadvocating for the waterway.Nearly four decades ago, he kay-aked the 1,375-kilometre riverfrom Mount Robson to the LowerMainland. He was floored by thebeauty, from lowlands and eddies

full of fish, to whitewater canyonsand the basin.

“I was just taken aback by thebeauty and the incredible culturalvalues, the incredible natural val-ues,” he said. “It’s an Eden in ourmidst.”

That trip was his inspirationfor starting B.C. Rivers Day, a cel-ebration of the province’s rivers,which is now recognized aroundthe world.

According to Angelo, the Fraserhas more than 30 species of fishand the largest run of spawningsalmon in B.C. It’s home to theendangered white sturgeon andhas also shaped settlement pat-terns in B.C., as people tend tobuild close to the river.

“I’ve always believed that riv-ers are the arteries of our planet,”Angelo said. “(The Fraser) is every

bit as diverse as the province itruns through. You see the way ithas influence on our economy, onour environment, on our way oflife. … Without question it’s one ofthe world’s great waterways.”

That said, the Fraser also facesan array of pressures, Angelopointed out, from urbanization topollution and industrial develop-ment.

Angelo will be honoured at aspecial ceremony on Nov. 6 at thecentre, located on the Quay.

Catherine Ouellet-Martin, thecentre’s executive director, saidthe hall of fame is for those whomake significant contributions tothe Fraser in three areas: indus-try, social-cultural endeavoursand the environment. The centrenominated Angelo because he’sbeen an articulate defender of the

Fraser River and all its values fordecades, Ouellet-Martin said.

“He’s so passionate it’s infec-tious,” she added. “Mark is verygood at recognizing many valuesof the Fraser River. It is a very sig-nificant ecosystem, … but it’s alsoan economic river, and the two

values need to co-exist. It’s a verypopulated river.”

Politicians Kathy Corrigan andFin Donnelly will speak at theNov. 6 ceremony, which also func-tions as a fundraiser for the centre.Tickets are available by [email protected].

Is employeestress costingyour business?By Angela Rai

Would you like to cut costs to your business?Would you like to increase productivity andemployee loyalty? Would you like to decreaseemployee absenteeism and staff turnover?

A major Canadian study sponsoredby Health Canada involving over 31,000participants in the private, public, and non-profits sectors indicates that employeesare more stressed than ever before andit is costing us billions of dollars annually.Absenteeism alone is reported to havedirect costs of approximately $3 billionannually with estimates of an additional$1.5 to $3 billion worth of indirect costs,according to the study authored in partby noted organizational health pioneer, Dr.Linda Duxbury. When we factor in the costsof various medical services to treat thestress-related illnesses of these overloadedindividuals, we add another $5 billion tothe equation.

Twomajorsuccesses formembers of theBurnaby BoardofTradeBy Michael [email protected]

At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’sannual general meeting (AGM), held Sept.27 to 29, 2014 in Charlottetown, P.E.I., theBurnaby Board of Trade, on behalf of itsmembers, submitted two resolutions and co-

sponsored a third.The first, entitled Senior Global Talent

for Key Canadian Industries, dealt withthe issue of a skilled workers shortagebeing the number one barrier to Canada’seconomic competiveness. The resolutionrecommends modifications to the TemporaryForeign Worker program to enable Canadianbusinesses to more easily source seniorexpertise not otherwise available locally.

The Burnaby Board of Trade also co-sponsored a resolution submitted by theRichmond Chamber of Commerce, entitledProtecting the National Economy byManaging the Lower Fraser River, whichrecommends specific steps to ensure thecontinuous flow of commerce to and fromthe Asia-Pacific market, and to ensure thesustainability of the Lower Fraser River.

We are pleased to report that both theSenior Global Talent and Lower Fraser River

issues are also of importance to the CanadianChamber of Commerce and its networkof chambers of commerce and boards oftrade across Canada. At the AGM, bothresolutions were approved by the CanadianChamber’s members, representing 200,000Canadian businesses. These resolutions arenow formal policy positions of the CanadianChamber and will be pursued with the federalgovernment over the coming months.

A third resolution, although narrowlydefeated, addressed the need for a labourmarket impact assessment exemptionfor foreign workers in film and televisionproduction occupations. The issue remainsa major concern for the Burnaby Boardof Trade, who will continue to advocatestrongly to protect BC and Canada’s film andtelevision industry from the negative impactsof recent federal regulation changes.¾

Access Programstarting topay dividendsfor BurnabybusinesscommunityBy Michael [email protected]

New students, alumni and Connectorsalike gathered at the Burnaby campus ofElectronic Arts Canada on October 2nd towelcome the 2014/15 class of the BurnabyBoard of Trade’s Access Student CareerDevelopment Program.“It was a wonderful experience to have

this year’s students, graduates from the pasttwo years and many of our Connectors allunder the same roof to network, reconnectand celebrate with each other,” remarkedBurnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) CEO PaulHolden. “It was a great chance to properlyintroduce our new students into the program

student career development

and give them a real sense of what Access isall about.”The Access program was first launched

two years ago to help senior post secondarystudents transition into the workplace andbuild meaningful relationships with leadersin the business community. The programincludes three main components includingnetworking events and workshops. The thirdcomponent, Connectors, pairs students upwith prominent business leaders for casualone-on-one informational meetings, and isthe most unique aspect of Access accordingto Holden.“The Connectors program is really what

sets Access apart from other professionaldevelopment programs,” said Holden. “Itimproves upon the traditional mentorshipconcept in two key ways: it’s less timeconsuming for the Connector – as little asforty-five minutes – and it’s more efficient.At the end of the process students will havemade meaningful connections with severalsenior business leaders rather than just one.”And it seems to be working. Now three

years into the program, past participants arereporting back, sharing success stories, andlooking to become re-engaged with Accessand the BBOT.“Our alumni, for the most part, are doing

a great job of staying in touch with theirconnectors and referrals, and more andmore we’re hearing of past students finding

opportunities through those referrals, andreferrals of referrals,” noted the BBOT’sMarketing Manager, Tessa Vanderkop.“We are also seeing those first year

students starting to serve as Connectorsin their own right, and even consulting onfurther program development,” added AccessProgram Coordinator Ann Goncalves.Access is sponsored by three of the Lower

Mainland’s largest educational institutions;Simon Fraser University, the British ColumbiaInstitute of Technology and Douglas College.Connectors represent a myriad of Burnaby-based companies such as IBM, ElectronicArts and Pacific Blue Cross. Even the City isinvolved, with Mayor Derek Corrigan himselfplanning to participate for a third year as aConnector.The program runs from October to June.

V olunteers at Confederation Seniors Centre are help-ing keep others warm this winter.

Since 2008, the centre has been hosting WarmerWednesday, where volunteers gather to knit or crochetitems – like scarves, toques and slippers – to give to vari-ous charities and non-profits. The volunteers use donatedyarn, which comes from a variety of sources.

Warmer Wednesdays started in 2008 and has beengrowing since, according to Lori-Ann Cornwall, a recre-ation leader at the centre.

“Because of the growing popularity of this program,… we have also been able to add to the list of agencieswho receive our warmers over the years,” Cornwall said.“Needless to say there is no shortage of people in need soreaching more people is very rewarding.”

Volunteers used to start knitting in spring or summer,but Cornwall said several women are now creating itemsyear-round to reach personal targets they’ve set.

Westcoast SeniorsFoundation granting wishes for seniors in needW hat does a dream

look like for seniors?For one couple, it was assimple as a date.

That’s what theDream On Seniors’ WishFoundation granted forGary and Jen Reynolds ofNanaimo. The wife was liv-ing in a care facility full-time, while the husbandwas still at home, and hejust wanted to take her outon to dinner. The founda-tion stepped in and hadher makeup, hair and nailsdone and took the two outfor a night on the town.

“They were so in love,”says Gayla DeHart co-ownerof Nurse Next Door, a pri-vate home care companyand chair of the Dream onSeniors’ Wish Foundation.“They had a wonderfulnight.”

And that’s just oneexample. Other wishes the

foundation has fulfilledinvolve visiting long-lostfamily members or buyingnew equipment to helpwith mobility issues.

ForBurnaby’sBev Baxter,the foundation teamedup with the BurnabyInteragency Society to helpbuy her a walker so shecould get around. WendyScott of Burnaby’s NurseNext Door said the womanwas overjoyed.

“She had tears in hereyes. It’s one of thosethings where you realize:not a very big dream, butyou made a very big differ-ence in the life of a senior,”she said.

Applicants for theDream on Seniors’ WishFoundation must be 65years or older and in needof extra help, be it emo-tional, personal or financial.They should also be good

storytellers, as the founda-tion is hoping to share theirexperiences.

Nurse Next Doorlaunched the foundationlast year, but as DeHarttells it, seniors sometimesneed extra encouragementto dream.

“It’s not as easy as youwould think to share theirdreams with us. They arethinking about their kidsand their grandkids andwhat does everybodywant,” she said. “Dreamingfeels like something for theyoung in a way. We arereally trying to inspire peo-ple to think about aging innew way.”

Seniors can apply tothe program themselves,or others can nominatesomeone with a dream.For more information, goto www.dreamonseniorswish.org.

Westcoast SeniorsHelp for seniors with developmental disabilitiesT here’s a new form of help

for older adults with devel-opmental disabilities who areadjusting to life as seniors.

The provincial government ispiloting the new service, whichinvolves “navigators” partneringwith people with developmentaldisabilities and their families. Thenavigator’s role is to help thatperson with one-on-one support.

“The new service model helpsindividuals with developmentaldisabilities and their families dur-ing times of life transition – suchas youth to adulthood or movinginto their senior years – and links

families with a navigator who co-ordinates the government servic-es they need, rather than peopletrying to find their way throughcomplex systems and servicesalone,” said Don McRae, ministerof social development and socialinnovation, in the media release.

For example, the navigatorcan help someone identify goalsand ways of meeting them – likewhere to live or ideas for keep-ing busy – assist in developing aplan and co-ordinating the ser-vices and supports to make thatplan concrete, according to apress release from the provincial

government.“Acting as a one-on-one sup-

port for families, the navigatorcan assume a proactive role inensuring that all the elements ofa person-centred plan are cap-tured in one place,” the releasestates. “This support is designedto take families through theyears where their needs arechanging as they age and allowthem to have more control overthese changes and be proactiveabout their futures.”

Services to Adults withDevelopmental DisabilitiesInitiative is spearheading the

project. The initiative is a part-nership between various gov-ernment ministries, CommunityLiving B.C., school districts,health authorities and aboriginalagencies.

In the moments afterCpl. Nathan Cirillo wasshot while standing onguard at the National WarMemorial, several pass-ersby immediately rushedto his side to perform firstaid.

One of them was lawyerBarbara Winters.

“You are so loved,” shekept telling Cirillo, whowas mortally wounded.“We’re all trying to helpyou.”

As she later said to TheGlobe and Mail, “When youare dying, you need to betold how loved you are.”

Winters’ messageis echoed by so manyCanadians who have beendeeply touched and sad-dened by his death.

There is a terrible ironythat Cirillo, a reservist serv-ing with the Argyll andSutherland Highlandersof Canada, was shot at asculpture which honoursthe tremendous sacrificesof the men and women inCanada’s Armed Forces.

He was representing allCanadians in paying sol-

emn tribute to the peoplewho have died while pro-tecting and preserving whatit means to be Canadian.

Cirillo was a single fatherwho was devoted to his six-year-old son. In honour ofall the values that Cirillostood for, Glacier Mediahas started a memorialcrowdfunding campaignon FundAid.ca. It raisedhundreds of dollars in thefirst day alone.

The money will be

donated to a trust fund forCirillo’s son as a way to joinWinters in saying, “We’reall trying to help you.”

To donate to this cam-paign, go to FundAid.caand search for We StandOn Guard for Cpl. NathanCirillo’s Son.

Glacier Media, the par-ent company of FundAidand this newspaper, andFundrazr, its crowdfundingpartner, have waived ser-vice fees for this campaign.

Royals win PacWest soccer titleThe Douglas College

Royals are going back tothe Canadian Colleges’soccer nationals for a thirdstraight season.

But this time the goalis to come back with thegold.

“Every year our goal isgold at the nationals,” saidDouglas co-coach RobbieToor. “In 2012, we droppedthe ball, and in 2013 wecould have won it butwere proud to bring backthe bronze medal.

“We’re feeling good.The last few weeks, we’vebeen playing better.”

In fact, the Royals areunbeaten in the month ofOctober, with seven winsand a tie in their last eightleague and playoff games.

But it took overtime inthe semifinals and a shoot-out win over VancouverIsland University in thegold-medal match to do it.

Douglas outscored theregular season champi-on 4-3 on penalty kicksin the shootout at QuestUniversity on Sunday towin gold.

Royals’goalkeeperMarcMincieli made a stop on apenalty kick attempt, andthe fourth VIU shooter hitthe post. Sameer Grewalscored the penalty-kickwinner for Douglas.

Nicolas Pineda Grahamgot the Royals on boardfirst, finishing off a suc-cessful first-half penaltykick set up after MarkBaldisimo made a solorun through the Mariners’defence before eventuallybeing hauled down in the

box.Vancouver Island got

that goal back in the secondhalf, when PacWest playerof the year Victor Blascoconverted a penalty kickto send the game into extratime after Mincieli tookdown Renan Rebelatto.

Nothing was decided inextra time.

“It was definitely anintense weekend,” Toorsaid.

The Royals also had togo to overtime in their 2-0 semifinal win over hostQuest on Saturday.

Douglas broke thescoreless regulation timematchup with a goal earlyin the opening extra time.

Royals’ substituteJagpreet Purewal tallied apair of goals in extra time,including a goal off a greatone-on-one effort beforeslotting the game-winner

top shelf. Purewal put thegame away with a late goaloff a deflection.

The semifinal win guar-anteed Douglas a berth atthe Canadian Colleges’national championships tobe held in Ontario Nov. 5to 8.

The Royals open thecollegiate nationals againsthost Sheridan College.

“We know we play thehosts. We know it’s not

going to be easy,” Tooradded. “But we knowwhat we’re capable of.”

Prior to the games,Royals Baldisimo, SpencerDeboice and Devin Phelanwere named to the PacWestmen’s conference all-starteam.

The Clan set 10 new dual meet marks –three from freshman Adrian VanderHelm– who broke three school records, includ-ing standards held by former SFU andnational team swimmers David Hibberdand Sandy Henderson.

VanderHelm won the 200-yard freestylein a time of 1:38.20 and placed second inthe 100 free in a school record time of 45.72against Pacific. He also set a new mark inthe 500 free against Santa Cruz.

The men’s team set eight new dual meetmarks.

Freshman Saveli Yungman won the 200-yd. butterfly in a time of 1:51.59. Anotherfirst-year swimmer, Gabriel Lee, won themen’s 200-yd. backstroke in a record timeof 1:50.

Junior Justin Kiedrzyn finished run-ner-up in the 100-yd. fly in a Clan record50.25.

The men’s 1,000 free had two separaterecord setters. Freshman Tim Woinoskiset the new mark against Pacific on Friday

and Youn Ho Choi, also a freshman, thenbroke it against Santa Cruz on Saturday.

The Clan women set new records in the100-yd. fly and 100-yd. free.
