The independent Deer Lake Seventh Day Adventist school was ranked 213th, with a 6.5 score. It was the first year in the rankings for the school, which has a Grade 12 enrollment of just 19 students. In 11th and last spot among Burnaby schools is Byrne Creek secondary which ranked 251st out of 284 with a 4.3 score. The
Edmonds-area school, whose neighbourhood includes numerous refugee and new immigrant residents, also has the highest proportion of English-as-a-secondlanguage students (13.1 per cent), the second highest level of special needs students (9.2 per cent) and lowest average parental income ($44,300).

Six Burnaby residents are among those being sued by the Insurance Corporation of B.C. for damages resulting from the Stanley Cup riot. ICBC’s civil suit is against 46 people either charged or convicted for their participation in the downtown Vancouver riot following Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final on June 15, 2011. “ICBC has a responsibility to protect our customers’ premium dollars and is taking legal action to recover the costs of these acts of vandalism to ensure they are not passed on to our customers,” the insurance corporation said in a press release. It is seeking general, special, aggravated and punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The Burnaby defendants are: Spencer Nelson Cox, Matthew Eakin, Timothy Kwong, Sean Yates, Mitchell Mark and James Seager. The cases of most of those charged are still working their way through the system. see 77 vehICLeS, A3

“Ultimately, by the time you came to completion of the project, if you had maybe a handful of units left, well what was there to complain about?”
Stratus, the first phase of SOLO, has so far sold 230 of its 360 units, Bosa said. Construction is expected to be completed by May 2015. Burnaby’s first Whole Foods supermarket is expected to open just before that, also in spring 2015. Construction on Altus will start in about a month once permits are in place, with completion of the condominiums by the third to fourth quarter of 2016. The retail space will be ready for occupancy by late spring of 2015, and the offices by the fall of 2015. When all four phases of SOLO District are complete, the 6.5-acre development will house about 3,000 people in more than 1,400 homes. Through Burnaby city hall’s density bonus program, Appia will also be contributing $32 million in community amenities, including a city-owned 4,000-square-foot community space and $30 million in cash to be used for amenities elsewhere in the neighbourhood. SOLO District is being developed with several green features, including geothermal heat exchange systems, individual gas meters in each condo unit and electric car charging stations.

Kwong pled guilty and received an 18-month conditional sentence. Yates pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven months in jail. Also cited as defendants are John Doe and Jane Doe, referring to anyone who may be charged or named in future for their roles in the riot. In ICBC’s notice of civil
claim all of the 46 defendants are deemed responsible for the damage and destruction of the majority of the 77 vehicles cited, although in several cases specific defendants are named. The document names Burnaby resident Mitchell Mark several times for allegedly being involved in destroying cars that night. Mark and Kwong are named as being involved in the destruction
of a 1996 GMC pickup truck for which ICBC paid out $3,449 to the owner. Mark and Seager are named as helping destroy a 2008 Nissan Versa, which cost ICBC $9,610 to settle the owner’s insurance claim. Mark and Cox are named among those involved in destroying a 2007 Hummer H2, a claim which ICBC paid out to the tune of $39,960.
Mark is also among those who, ICBC claims, ultimately destroyed a 2002 Nissan Sentra, which cost ICBC a $4,621 payout. ICBC has so far paid out $519,689 in claims involving 66 vehicles. The largest amounts were $61,014 for a 2006 Bentley CONTL, $46,316 for a 2006 BMW M5 and $39,693 for the 2007 Hummer H2. The smallest loss paid out was $11.26 in a case
over a 1995 Toyota Corolla. So far, Vancouver Police Department has recommended 1,086 charges against 325 rioters. The Integrated Riot Investigation Team expects to recommend an additional 25 charges against 25 individuals to Crown counsel in the coming months, said VPD in a press release. twitter.com/WandaChow

Burnaby school board chair Baljinder Narang said the institute’s rating system is too narrow to adequately compare schools. For instance, three of the six mandatory exams used are in Grade 10 when students’ education is incomplete, putting ESL students at a particular disadvantage which skews the data, Narang said.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
A win for tolerance
LAST WEEK:
It’s good news that saner heads prevailed and the Quebec Soccer Federation reversed its earlier decision to ban Sikh religious headwear from the pitch. The province’s soccer czars said players wearing patkas, keskis and turbans during practices and games presented a safety hazard to themselves and other players. Canadians who value our standing in the world as a country welcoming to everyone denounced the decision as racism. That it would come from a province that has fought long and hard to preserve its own cultural identity made it especially galling. The Canadian Soccer Association said the safety concerns were balderdash. Turbans are soft. Sikh children around the world play soccer and their headwear has never before been a safety issue. Even FIFA, the sport’s global governing organization that likes to micromanage every aspect of the game to ensure its integrity and accessibility to everyone is mute on the matter. Soccer players aren’t allowed to wear jewelry, but there are no rules regarding religious headwear. In a post-9/11 world where fear and paranoia drive so many expressions of intolerance, religious headwear has become an easy target. A religious medallion can be discreetly tucked into a shirt or behind a blazer. A ring or other jewelry is small, often only noticed close up. But a head covered in a turban, scarf or burka stands out in a crowd. Countries like France, Egypt and Turkey have banned the wearing of burkas in public for a variety of reasons, from concerns about security to the idea that they repress women. But really it’s about fear. The Quebec Soccer Federation’s turban ban was a step down that road. Its reversal is a victory for tolerance.

What ails the NDP? Plenty VICTORIA – After 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future. The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign. Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline. Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much. This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the final days of the campaign. The workshop took place in November 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise. Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” postsecondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree. Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school

“social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat. Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the workshop table on “equitable tax policy” even identified the problem. Its first recommendation: “Increase our economic and financial literacy to gain credibility.” The “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construction today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth. In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the threeprovince project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement. This harkens back to a

supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively.

COMMENT
New art gallery could be in Edmonds Re: Art gallery needs new home: Group (NewsLeader, May 31) The former Edmonds library building was built based on the design of an art gallery. This is the reason for the wall of glass which faces north, to allow true light to enter the building; the other windows are placed to control light entering. As the building is about to become vacant with the opening of the new Edmonds community centre, this would be a good opportunity to offer this space to the Burnaby Art Gallery for their use. Allen Hutton Burnaby
You asked for it The dust has hardly settled and the libs are already deep into the public trough, increasing salaries of the
faithful up to $75,000. If there is an outcry, they will use the old car dealer shtick and roll back to say $60,000 so we feel we are getting a bargain. Then using the old Liberal hocus-pocus they will show us how it is actually costing us less. I wish they would work some of that magic on my pension. Anyway, to those of you who didn’t bother to vote and to a lesser extent to those who voted Liberal, you asked for it! Russ Leach Burnaby

Metro opposes new coal terminal Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver’s board has dealt a blow to a proposed new coal export terminal in Surrey, voting 21-4 to oppose the project that has been under steady fire from both climate change activists and concerned neighbours. The regional district has no real power to block the new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks. But critics hope the June 14 decision puts more pressure on Port Metro Vancouver to delay approving the project pending a health impact assessment demanded by medical health officers. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said it makes no sense for Canada to accept extra risk to handle thermal coal from the U.S. that American port cities are rejecting. “It is massively controversial,” he said. “If we roll over on this we’re sending a very bad image to the rest of the world.” The new $15-million terminal would reload U.S. coal from trains to barges and add 25 jobs both at Surrey and on Texada Island, where coal would be
transferred again to oceangoing ships. “I’m not an opponent of the coal industry in Canada,” Corrigan said. “But the issue is taking coal from the United States – bad coal, the most difficult coal, the cheapest coal – bringing it into Canada, processing it twice through our ports, taking all of the environmental risks for none of the real benefits, and in the end of it we get 25 jobs.” Corrigan also said the port authority’s role as regulator is akin to the “fox guarding the henhouse” because the majority of its board are appointed by port users, namely the terminal operators such as Fraser Surrey Docks. “Twenty-five jobs is nothing compared to the possible environmental impact,” added Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve. The four directors who opposed the motion were Langley Township Coun. Bob Long, Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele, Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew and Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves was among those who argued fossil fuels like coal

Collision kills driver One person has died after an accident involving a transit bus and a car in South Burnaby on Friday morning, say Burnaby RCMP. The incident happened at 11:30 a.m. near the intersection of Kingsway and Olive Avenue by Central Park. The bus was westbound in the 4200-block of Kingsway, just west of Olive when the driver of a 2005 Toyota Corolla pulled out of a driveway at the commercial complex at 4277 Kingsway. The vehicle drove into the path of the bus, said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Dave Reid, in a press release. The car was struck on the side and spun around, coming to rest on the sidewalk on the north side of the

Running like a blue streak Members of Burnaby RCMP and students from local high schools took to the streets June 7 to show their support for the Special Olympics Athletes, by participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run. With the police donning blue T-shirts and the students wearing yellow ones, they ran in a group along Hastings Street from Kensington to Boundary Road. A flaming torch, the symbol of the run, was always prominently out in front in the hand of the lead runner. It was exchanged several times during the course of the run, allowing participants the honor of carrying their symbol. This is the 26th year of the Law Enforcement Torch Run. This initiative is dedicated to helping Special Olympic Athletes develop a sense of acceptance, achievement and admiration through sports participation.

here have been so many advances in medical technology, Dr. Jorge Bonet says the knowledge and techniques he had coming out of medical school 30 years ago wouldn’t qualify him to practice as a cardiologist today. “It’s a new job every day,” says Dr. Bonet, the head of cardiology at Royal Columbian Hospital. “It’s a constant intellectual challenge.” One of the most remarkable and effective pieces of technology his department has acquired in recent years is the Multipurpose Interventional Suite (MPIS), a $5 million procedural room which was set up in October 2012. This state-of-the-art suite is a one-stop shop that allows doctors to diagnose, pinpoint and correct irregular heart rhythms in addition to providing other highly specialized heart and neurological procedures. Instead of facing a lifetime regime of expensive drugs that can bring on side effects, patients with atrial fibrillation like Stephen Lesosky are typically able to walk out of the hospital a few hours after the procedure, essentially cured, and with recovery time, able to resume their normal lives. “I felt like I was constantly living with a black cloud over my head,” says Lesosky, 44, who’d ABOVE: Royal Columbian Hospital head of Cardiology Dr. Jorge Bonet in the Multipurpose Interventional Suite with Tammy Easton, cardiovascular technician.

Lakers rebound to beat Burrards Defence saved the day for the New Westminster Salmonbellies when the Burnaby Lakers, riding a three-game win streak heading into the game, came calling at Queen’s Park Arena last Thursday. The ’Bellies edged the Lakers 5-4 thanks to a 49-save performance by goaltender Neil Tyacke. In the first period, New West went ahead 3-1 on goals by Jordan McBride, Logan Schuss and Ilija Gajic while Jackson Decker scored for Burnaby as the Salmonbellies outshot the Lakers 23-12. But in the second frame, Burnaby launched 26 shots at Tyacke while New West had just 11, yet both teams scored just one goal with Gajic getting his second of the game and Justin Salt replying for Burnaby. In the third, former Salmonbellie Peter McFetridge narrowed the gap for Burnaby before Jordan McBride got the eventual game winner. Dane Stevens scored shorthanded before the midway point of the final frame but New West managed to hold on from there to even its Western Lacrosse Association record at 4-4. The next night the woes continued for the Lakers even though they were on their own floor at Bill Copeland Arena as the Nanaimo Timbermen picked up only their second win of the season defeating Burnaby 16-11, even though they were outshot 55-40 by the Lakers. After the first period finished 3-3, the T-men outscored the Lakers 7-3 in the second and cruised from there.
Stevens had a seven-point game, including three goals while Casey Jackson racked up five points with two goals. Also scoring twice were Shaun Dhaliwal and Colton Clark with singles going to Jason Jones and Salt. Both teams scored four powerplay goals. Starting netminder Joe Bell made 13 saves on 23 shots. He was replaced by Dan Lewis with three minutes left in the second period. The Lakers, however, bounced back with a big win in Maple Ridge on Sunday downing the Burrards 11-7. Stevens was prominent again for Burnaby, who jumped out to a 5-1 lead after one period, with three goals and two assist while taking 13 shots on goal. Scott Jones also had a huge game with three goals and five assists. Jackson had two of each while Chase Williams also scored two with Jason Jones getting one. Lewis made 38 saves to get the win while former Laker Chris Levis saved 28 of 39 Burnaby shots in the Maple Ridge net. Lewis’s biggest accomplishment may have been preventing Curtis Dickson from scoring on the eight shots, although he did notch four assists. Dickson leads the league in scoring with 62 points while Stevens is second with 41. Halfway through the season, the Lakers are 4-5. They will play host to the two-time defending WLA champion Langley Thunder at Copeland on Friday, 7:45 p.m. The Lakers will be in Coquitlam to battle the Adanacs (3-5) Saturday.

Juniors lose 11th straight Two defeats last week have extended the Burnaby Jr. Lakers’ losing skid to 11 games. On Saturday in Ladner, the Delta Islanders defeated the Lakers 19-8. Brendan Shea had a hat trick for Burnaby with singles going to Quinton Bradley, Tyler Buchan, Cam Hudspeth, Aiden Milburn and Peyton Lupul. The next night at Bill Copeland Arena, the visiting Langley Thunder beat Burnaby 13-9 to hand the Lakers their 14th loss of the B.C. Junior
Lacrosse League season to go with just one win. Connor Pagnani had a fivepoint performance in a losing cause with two goals and three assists while Lupul had two of each. Justin Appels, Brendan Shea, Anthony Quatrano, Buchan and Hudspeth also scored for Burnaby. The Lakers will play host to the Nanaimo Timbermen on Sunday, 5 p.m., before taking on the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena next Tuesday, 8 p.m.
