BC Housing doesn’t have funding available to consider a proposed housing project for the homeless in Burnaby. The proposal, by the Vancouver-based PHS (Portland Hotel Society) Community Services Society, would convert the 401 Motor Inn at 2950 Boundary Road, between Manor Street and Grandview Highway, into 30 units of housing. If it goes ahead, it would be the ¿rst of its kind in Burnaby. But that’s not likely without BC Housing’s involvement. “The Province looks closely at every opportunity to help increase supports and services for those in need in our communities,” said Seumas Gordon, senior manager of public affairs for BC Housing, in an email. “Many variables are considered when proposals are presented to BC Housing. While the 401 Inn is a good project, this year’s capital and operating funds are fully allocated.” see NEIGHBOURS, A3

A journey beyond the pain

from FRONT PAGE

The City of Burnaby’s director of planning, Basil Luksun, had earlier relayed the same message to delegations speaking on the project at the council meeting Monday night. “Certainly, from our experience,” Luksun said, “if there is no funding it is extremely unlikely that this project would proceed.” But Wanda Mulholland of the Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness, who spoke in support of the project, is undeterred. Members of the task force had met with Burnaby-North Liberal MLA Richard Lee, who agreed to speak with Housing Minister Rich Coleman on behalf of the proposal, which is on a “promising site in Burnaby,” Mulholland told council, adding Coleman responded by asking that a copy of the proposal be sent directly to him in addition to BC Housing. “The task force is hopeful that Minister Coleman will reassess the funding issue and don’t believe that conversation is completely ¿nished,” she said. But not everyone is on board. Ruth Topolnicky, strata president at a nearby apartment complex on Manor Street, expressed concerns to council that potential tenants of the project could increase criminal activity in the neighbourhood. In the past 20 years, the neighbourhood has had to live with break-ins, drug houses, drug dealing, addicts shooting up on residents’ patios and stairwells, stolen cars left in their visitors parking lot and occasionally, prostitution. The situation has improved the last few years, Topolnicky said, and residents are still being educated on the need to report incidents to the police. The housing project raises concerns that those modest gains will be lost, she said. Despite the lack of provincial funding for the project, council approved a set of conditions for it to consider any such projects at the 401 Motor Inn site. These include that it have staf¿ng on-site 24/7, that it have suf¿cient and sustainable funding and provide transitional supported housing to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, with a preference for people from Burnaby. Any such proposal would have to be supported by area residents through a neighbourhood consultation process, and require a rezoning application. Mayor Derek Corrigan didn’t appear to be keen on the proposal. There’s a need to house homeless people close to support services, he said. “The irony is young people in the community have to move to Surrey and Langley to ¿nd housing. Yet there’s an expectation that those who are indigent, who aren’t working, have a right to live in the urban core. That doesn’t make sense to me.” twitter.com/WandaChow

‘Person of interest’ in double murder ୅ from

FRONT PAGE

“He is obviously unstable and unpredictable at this point and it’s for that reason public safety is paramount,” Shields said at the time. He was believed to be armed with a highpowered Mossberg Maverick hunting riÀe with a scope and living out of his van. Mitchell purchased the riÀe legally in B.C. sometime in the last six months. Mitchell was also a “person of interest” in the double homicide in South Burnaby on May 27. In that incident, 36-year-old Burnaby resident Huong (Andy) Tran and a woman were shot to death at Tran’s Royal Oak Sushi House on Royal Oak Avenue. Police have not yet established a motive for the murders. While the forensics work from the murder scene has yet to be completed, there appear to be links between the two incidents, said Pound. Mitchell was a former security guard who had worked in that industry “for some time,” Shields said. He appears to have had conÀict with former employers and coworkers, and Burnaby RCMP had been in touch with those people, as well as former roommates to warn them about “their own potential jeopardy.” While he was not known to police, Mitchell has been on police radar in the past, Shields said. There was at least one incident in the past six months but he was not charged with a crime. Pound said the attempted murder Tuesday put Mitchell on IHIT’s radar in its murder investigation. Vancouver Police have taken charge of the Maple Ridge scene and will investigate the shooting. ~ with ¿les from Monisha Martins and Phil Melnychuk twitter.com/WandaChow

Neck pain?

from PAGE A3

Her right foot, ankle and leg have had two reconstructions. An ankle replacement in 2009 made her foot look like a shark had taken a bite out of it, but the titanium and plastic increased her mobility considerably. Laurence has a myriad of methods for getting around—car, scooter, walker, cane and braces. She can use her walker but most of the time takes her scooter. “It’s very hard [to use the walker], but I can do it. If I do that, I pretty well can’t do anything else that day ... You have to plan your life more carefully,” says Laurence. When she was a teenager her family lived in Europe so she got to see several countries while over there. The travel bug bit her. Big time. A few months ago, Laurence entered a tacky Christmas sweater contest put on by the German Christmas Market and won a Lufthansa Àight to Germany. Soon she’ll be off to visit friends and couch surf throughout Europe for about a month—that’s about as long as she can be away from her doctors. Laurence won’t have a problem ¿nding places to stay since she’s a 14-year veteran of couch sur¿ng, whereby people offer space in their homes to travelers. She’s reciprocated the hospitality by being host to at least 70 people at her apartment overlooking the Fraser River in New Westminster. “They have been wonderful experiences,” says Laurence of couch sur¿ng. Two young visitors recently

helped her pack her possessions and put them in storage since she’s giving up her apartment to travel. When she returns she’ll have to couch surf locally until she can afford her own place again. The pain doesn’t allow Laurence to travel like most people. She can’t explore on foot so she spends more time sitting and talking with people or looking at scenery. On occasion, she takes time for therapy. Laurence is hoping to convince as many people as possible to vote for her in the contest that could mean a $12,000 trip to Australia. It’s sponsored by Qantas Vacations and Tourism Australia (aussieexperiences.com), and as of Wednesday she had the second-most votes, 1,064, for the trip to Perth in Western Australia. If she wins—the contest closes June 7—she’ll have even more experiences to celebrate despite what she has endured. “I am really motivated to try to enjoy my life,” she says. “I focus on being grateful for what I can do, not what I can’t.”

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Callous comment Sir Richard Branson has been a naughty boy, and B.C. Premier Christy Clark has every right to be offended. Hot on the heels of the billionaire businessman’s splashy arrival aboard one of his Virgin airline jets to inaugurate his company’s Àights between YVR and London, and the requisite photo opportunities with leggy models and then the premier, Branson posted a glib comment on his of¿cial blog that Clark had accepted his offer to join him for some kitesur¿ng at Cultus Lake. But, quipped Branson, he’d neglected to tell her about the dress code. The message was accompanied by a photo of the grey-maned Branson in shorts and shirt, skimming across a waterway, a naked young woman clinging to his back. Clark was not amused. She called Branson’s joke disrespectful. That’s an understatement. But it’s not the ¿rst time the premier has been the target of sexist remarks. Last October a political blogger and former NDP MLA criticized Clark for showing too much cleavage in the legislature. While you may not agree with Clark’s politics, or the decisions of her government, no woman should be judged purely on her appearance or wardrobe choice. The days when a woman rising to a high position in government or business was an exceptional achievement are long behind us. Nine women have served as ¿rst ministers of Canadian provinces or territories. One, Kim Campbell, was the Prime Minister of the country for 132 days. All worked hard to reach the pinnacle. Still, in 2010 women occupied just 23 per cent of the seats in federal, provincial and territorial legislatures. Federally, Canada ranked 49th in the world for female participation. Canadian politics remains mostly a man’s game. Sexist comments by the likes of Branson don’t help tip that imbalance.

Waistline or bottom line - take your pick You can be rich, or you can be thin, but you can’t be both. If I’ve learned nothing else over the course of the last three months, as I attempt to eat healthier and get in better physical shape, it’s that. Healthy-eating advocates – and magazine covers, too – like to trumpet the fact that anyone can be healthier with just a few simple tweaks to one’s life. And that may be true – as long as at least one of those little lifestyle adjustments is a promotion to a job with a six-¿gure salary, because a fattened chequing account goes a long way to a slimmed-down waist. I exaggerate, of course, but a quick trip down the grocery aisle con¿rms my claim isn’t that farfetched. I mean, have you seen the price of fruit these days? If you want your daily serving of veggies, it’s cheaper to get extra peppers on your pizza. Or better yet, just swing by the deli counter and pick up a couple two-for-one fried chickens. Boom, dinner is served. And cheaply. Sure beats forking out dollar after dollar for a laundry list

Nick Greenizan of fresh, ingredients to make something healthy from scratch, right? Well, probably not. And I speak here from experience. It wasn’t that long ago that I was a bachelor with limited culinary skills and a limited budget. For a few years, I subsisted on a diet of pizza, perogies, and basically anything that could be easily shoveled from a freezer bag, into the oven, and then into my mouth. I didn’t have much money, but I never went broke eating that way, either, even if I did have to shell out a few bucks for bigger pants every six months. Just the cost of doing business. Really, for me, the situation extends either further back. When I was in high school, nobody worried about having

COMMENT

Friday, June 1, 2012 NewsLeader A7

EMAIL letters@burnabynewsleader.com

Could you live on 25% of your salary? I’m tired of hearing about the bonuses that are being given to executives at ICBC. While I am all in favour of people being rewarded for excellent service, it is my opinion that this is hardly the case, and this money would be better spent properly compensating people injured in accidents who desperately need it. Yes, I am one of those people. I was injured in a horri¿c MVA last year which nearly ended my life. I survived due to a commitment to proper safety gear and procedures but I was struck on the head hard enough to break my neck, and spent two weeks in a coma. I am fortunate that it was not longer. My recovery is slow and even now, almost a year later, it is hard to write this letter. (A friend is helping to edit it.) I don’t expect to return to work anytime soon and I will probably never be able to do the work I did. Unless the court case is resolved and I receive a judgement (which won’t happen anytime soon) I have no other ¿nancial resources. I am receiving about 25 per cent

of my wage from ICBC. This is considered the maximum allowance and has been for the last 20 years, yet it is far different from the 75 per cent of my wage I received from WCB, when I was previously injured on the job. Note that this previous injury was less serious and the impact on my ¿nances far less serious. As both are operated by the provincial government, why is there such a large difference in compensation? Could you pay your mortgage or rent on 25 per cent of your income? I doubt it. Pat Tillapaugh, Burnaby

TAX INCREASES GETTING OUT OF HAND In the past few weeks I have been reading letters to the editor regarding property tax increases, some positive, and some not. I have always been of the view that, if our elected politicians are prudent when spending our tax dollars our ¿nancial situation could be in a healthier state. That would translate into smaller annual increases.

I just received my 2012 property tax notice, with a wallop of a 15 per cent increase from last year. That infuriated me to an all-time high. This outrages all home owners, but especially those seniors on a ¿xed income and already having a tough time trying to make ends meet. We all know we must pay taxes to receive the bene¿ts we receive from governments at all levels, in order to live in a clean and safe city, etc. But this is getting out of hand and is unacceptable. Frank Di Cesare, Burnaby

IF TEACHERS JOB CEASED ACTION, WHO WOULD SUFFER? Re: Let’s avoid personal shots (Letters, NewsLeader, May 25) I never thought I would be defending school board chair Larry Hayes, because I think he should have been deposed long ago. But it’s quite ironic that Rennie Maierle is pointing out his “union ties” while simultaneously complaining about personal attacks. The more relevant question to be

asking is what are school trustees doing to protect the rights of all teachers? I don’t really care what Larry Hayes thinks, even though I happen to agree with him, so I’m not taking sides, but let me explain why your position amounts to an attack on civil liberties when it’s considered in its proper context Mr. Maierle. In April 2011, Supreme Court Justice Susan Grif¿n declared key clauses of Christy Clark’s bills 27 and 28 to be illegal because they violated teachers’ charter rights. The BCTF has been protesting the government’s refusal to redress the criminality of its authoritarian legislation for nearly a year, hoping to draw public attention to the issue by refusing to complete report cards, mark provincial exams, meet with administrators, comply with supervision duties, or attend parent-teacher conferences. Now, after another Orwellian bill was tabled in February, the Education Improvement Act, which BCTF president Susan Lambert points out is “the twentieth bill passed by the BC Liberals since 2001

targeting teachers’ professional and labour rights,” 73 per cent of teachers who cast ballots last April voted reluctantly to resist this latest travesty of democracy with the boycott. Bill 22 would shamelessly impose the “net-zero mandate,” further insult teachers with a mock mediation process, institute outrageous punishments for a strike, and continue to degrade this province’s educational system by wiping out regulation of class-size and composition. The whole purpose of a union, let’s remember, is to maintain and improve conditions of employment, so you only could have reached your conclusion that this latest job action is “hurtful,” “intimidating,” or “divisive” by focusing on the toothpick on a mountain. Incidentally, if you think that the BCTF shouldn’t use such tactics, then why don’t you enlighten us by explaining what else it could do to defend the freedom and dignity of all its members?

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Minister of Health Michael de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” sodium requirements. Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

STOP GUESSING

START ASKING GE T THE FAC TS Making informed menu choices can be challenging. But with the new Informed Dining program, restaurant-goers can now get the facts when dining out. Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu. You can now be confident when eating at participating restaurants that you’ll have access to nutrition information before you make your menu choice. Stop guessing...and start asking!

The proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion is all risk and no reward for Burnaby, said Burnaby council in of¿cially opposing the project Monday. The company is proposing to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, to allow increased exports via tanker ships of oil sands crude to overseas markets such as China. Council approved staff recommendations in a lengthy report providing a preliminary assessment of the proposal. It voted to express opposition to the project and to advise senior governments and regulatory agencies of its views. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal questioned the province’s decision to accept the National Energy Board’s own environmental assessments of such projects to meet provincial environmental requirements. “There’s no one looking after the interests of British Columbia,” he said. The pipeline expansion would likely pose a threat to Chevron’s operations in North Burnaby since it would have to compete with overseas markets for the crude it needs, noted Coun. Paul McDonell. “It’s all about exporting our resources outside the country,” said Coun. Colleen Jordan. “It’s not a matter of meeting local needs.” Coun. Pietro Calendino said Burnaby will be taking “100 per cent of the risk,” of the project. “If we really want to create jobs, why don’t we create value-added product [instead of exporting resources].”

The Flats on Georgia ﬁnds a home in Chinatown

‘Thoughtful livability’ at work When Panther Constructors decided to build their latest development in Chinatown, The Flats on Georgia, they ran into a few emotional obstacles. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” asks Panther Director Brian Low. “We have to do justice to the neighbourhood.” “You have to carefully stitch a patch into the existing quilt,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International Residential Marketing. The 28 one- and two-bedroom condominiums include nine-foot ceilings, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows that will allow natural light to pour in.

Outside, the building rises nine storeys from the street, and features contemporary Chinatown architecture like slotted shutters, Juliet balconies in some plans and ground level retail. “The crux of the unit is ‘thoughtful livability,’” Low says. With open concept kitchens, polished concrete flooring throughout and custom millwork, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. “(We) spent a lot of time thinking (about) important details,” Low says. “Personally, I haven’t lived in a place that feels more like a community ... It’s like a small town inside a big city.” Visit theflatsongeorgia.com or call 604-790-8744 for more information.

tables, chairs and benches, and paved garden paths and green space. Surrey City Centre “is going to be a gathering space,” says Lin. “It’s going to be the most popular space in Greater Vancouver.” The civic plaza currently holds the City Centre Library and will eventually be home to Surrey’s new City Hall. A new performing arts centre, Simon Fraser University and the Surrey Art Gallery are also nearby. Almost any amenity or service you could imagine is in the area, from shopping at the Central City mall to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. If it’s a bit of outdoor recreation you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it at one of the many parks near Wave, including Holland Park,

home of the annual Fusion Festival and Movies Under the Stars. The North Surrey Recreation Centre, featuring a pool and several ice rinks, is right beside the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, just minutes from Wave. Wave is within easy walking distance of transit, so you’ll be able to leave your car behind. There are several bus routes and SkyTrain stations in the area. “It’s easy to zip to central Surrey and back to Vancouver,” Lin says. Surrey has quickly become a large urban centre in its own right, separate from Vancouver itself. “Places like Surrey, suburban centres, are going to be the next Vancouver east side,” Lin says, citing that area’s popularity with buyers until its home prices began to rise. “To get that kind of pricing, you have to go out to the suburban areas. This area is going to take off,” he says. Homes at Wave start at $179,900. For more information, visit www. waveliving.ca or call 604-951-9283.

‘This area is going to take off’

A new Wave of style in Surrey City Centre by Kerry Vital

Rize Alliance is bringing some high style to Surrey’s City Centre with its newest condominium project, Wave. The two high-rise towers will hold 235 suites per tower, and with generous balconies included in every home, it’s no surprise that many have already been sold. Many of the outdoor spaces are larger than 100 square feet. “It’s unheard of to bring that kind of outdoor space to condos,” says Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance. The architecture is definitely the defining exterior feature of Wave. As its name suggests, it’s built in a gently undulating wave pattern that will make it an iconic part of the City Centre skyline. Each floor is curved differently than the one above and below it, so no two homes are identical. “People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Lin. Curb appeal is definitely one of the many reasons people are choosing to live at Wave, along with the affordable prices and the location, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Another special feature at Wave is inside the suites. Ingenious movable walls mean that you can change your home to suit your every need, whether it’s closing off a space for visiting overnight guests or opening it up to have more room to entertain. “The movable walls create space as necessary,” Lin says. He explains that this gives homeowners double the possibilities for their home. There are a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from approximately 522 to 780 square feet. The living area features contemporary wood-tone laminate flooring, while the bedroom includes luxurious nylon custom carpeting that you can sink your toes into. Because of the design of the building there is a beautiful view in every direction, so the large windows let in tons of natural light and afford you a daily taste of your personal stunning view. The kitchens are perfect for entertaining or a night in with a glass of wine and a good book. With polished quartzite countertops complemented by soft-close durable wood grain cabinets

and stainless-steel appliances, you may be inspired to become a gourmet chef. A typical condo kitchen, this is not. The bathrooms are chic and cool, with their own set of polished quartzite countertops and porcelain floor tile. A brushed aluminum mirror lends a little elegant touch to the space where you may spend much of your time getting ready for the day or a night out. When you’re ready for a bit of entertainment, the development has some pretty great amenities, from a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a theatre room, a library and lounge areas with a kitchen, among many other amenities. Wave is also pet-friendly, with a pet wash/grooming room. A community garden is also on-site, as well as an open space on the ground level that will hold a barbecue area with

“

People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Rize Alliance President Will Lin.

The homes at Wave are elegant and modern, with wood-tone laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light flood in. With several different floorplans available, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home.

Applicant: Canadian National Railway Company (CN), 11717-138th Street, Surrey BC V3R 6T5 (604) 589-6542 Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/FAX: (250) 492-6193 E-mail: smcconsulting@shaw.ca The purpose of the proposed amendment request is to control wood decay in two timber bridges located (1) adjacent to No. 8 Rd, Lulu Island, Richmond at MP 6.96, and (2) across the north arm of the Fraser River between the 21100 Block River Rd. on Lulu Island and south Burnaby, south of Fraser Park Drive. The common and trade name of the pesticide proposed for use under this amendment are chloropicrin (Timber Fume). The application method will consist of manually inserting capped vials containing a pre-measured portion of Timber Fume into drilled holes in timbers. The degradable cap on the vial breaks down over time and temperature (within the drilled holes), allowing the liquid Timber Fume to enter the gas phase and move into the surrounding wood. All holes will be plugged with tight ﬁtting wood plugs following treatment. This ensures that the Timber Fume does not enter a body of water or other environmentally sensitive area. Drilled holes will be located at least 60 cm above the high water mark. The duration of the proposed amendment to the PMP is from July 25, 2012 to May 3, 2017. A copy of the proposed amendment to the PMP and a map showing the location of the timber bridges proposed for treatment may be obtained by contacting the Agent (SMC Consulting) listed above. “A person wishing to contribute information about the proposed treatment sites relative to the development of the amendment to the PMP may send copies of the information to the applicant c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
