Ask Burnaby Chief Supt. Dave Critchley what’s changed in crime trends over the past 20 years of policing and he’s quick to talk about the advent of smartphones, the Internet and social networking tools. Smartphones, iPads and tablets didn’t exist before. Now they’re the largest growing target for thieves and robbers. From January to June this year, there were 125 robberies in Burnaby, compared to 157 during the same period in 2012, he said. The reduction was mainly from a drop in robberies of businesses. Of those, 99 were classified as personal robberies in 2012 and 98 in 2013. The numbers of those cases involving smartphones was also surprisingly consistent— 62 in 2012 and 63 so far this year. With such electronic devices, “we’ve created an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of,” he said. “It’s all about risk and mitigating it.” People using such devices simply aren’t as aware as they should be of their surroundings. “It’s as simple as walking down the street looking at your cellphone, walking into a lamppost or into traffic,” he said. see uNDerLyING, A3

Infocus Metrotown tower boom continues
OpInIOn page 6 | Letters page 7 | spOrts page 15
The area surrounding Metrotown SkyTrain station is is continuing its massive makeover with the latest round of rezoning applications for 6280 Cassie Ave. and 6331, 6363 and 6377 McKay Ave., on the south side of Beresford Street. Rize Alliance Properties Ltd. preliminary plan is a proposal to build two highrise apartment towers with low-rise, street-oriented commercial and residential components fronting onto Beresford and low-rise housing fronting onto Cassie and McKay. The properties are currently home to four older apartment buildings, two at three storeys tall and two at two storeys, all of which are “in need of repair,” according to a city
staff report. Across Beresford is the Metrotown SkyTrain station and Metrotown library branch. Across the street on McKay a development is being planned consisting of a 38-storey residential tower with commercial fronting onto Beresford. Across Cassie to the west is the site of another 38-storey highrise proposal by Boffo Developments Ltd. which is currently working its way through the rezoning process. Burnaby’s planning department will work with the developer on a development plan to be presented at a future public hearing.

Underlying causes of crime don’t really change: Chief continued from frOnt page
Apart from the obvious potential for injury, such behaviour helps advertise the fact you have these valuables on you. All it takes is for someone to con a person into handing the smartphone over, by saying they need to make an emergency call, for instance, or using violence and grabbing it out of people’s hands. Education is a huge part of policing these days, Critchley said. “It amazes me when I see somebody go to a coffee shop and get all set up [at a table] with their iPad, then leave it to go to the counter to get a coffee. You’re taking a huge risk, you’re providing someone an opportunity to steal something.” He said it’s behaviour he often sees with younger folks. “There’s a naive belief your belongings will be where you leave them.” In addition to education, RCMP and other police agencies have been working with industry
Stopping cellphone thieves As of Sept. 30, it will be more difficult to sell stolen cellphones. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association and its wireless carrier members have started a national blacklist of smartphone and other wireless devices. Anyone who has such a device lost or stolen needs to report it to their carrier to have its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number placed on the blacklist so that no carrier in Canada will activate it for a new user, making them less desirable for criminals. For someone buying a used device, they can visit ProtectYourData.ca beforehand to check whether its IMEI number is on the blacklist.
to patterns in crimes—a rash of thefts from vehicles in a certain area where the culprits are using the same methods, for example— that they can then investigate, sometimes identifying prolific offenders and taking them off the street.

Critchley shakes his head while recounting stories of people announcing to the world on Facebook that they’re heading out of town for a two-week Mexican vacation, giving thieves a perfect window to break into their homes. Then there are the Internet scams and identity thefts. “Fraud is nothing new, it’s as

old as time itself.” Social networks also make it far easier to sell stolen property. When Critchley started out as a police officer 32 years ago, “you had people who specialized in fencing stolen property. “Now with social media you can go on a couple of different sites and you can facilitate much easier the sale. People [buying from such sites] have to be aware of that. You can’t be willfully blind.” One of the areas police are perhaps spending more time on now than in decades past is in working with community resources to address the underlying causes of crime, whether it’s referring people to addictions or mental health services or identifying a youth at risk and steering them towards more positive activities. While what they steal and the methods may change, ultimately the reasons behind criminals’ behaviour don’t really change over the years, Critchley said.

OPINION
PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
The NDP’s renewal
LAST WEEK:
Adrian Dix’s recent announcement that he is stepping down as the leader of B.C.’s New Democrats could have a ripple effect locally as potential candidates consider throwing their hats into the ring. Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian is so far perhaps the most prominent name to say he’s considering vying for the job. He’s received awards as a businessperson. He’s had experience as a bluecollar labourer. He’s developed ties amongst the myriad of cultural groups in his riding, home to 100 languages. And he’s proven his mettle in Parliament, whether it’s holding the Conservatives’ feet to the fire or conducting a 13-hour filibuster over two-and-a-half days while serving as the Opposition finance critic during last year’s budget debate. If he decides to run, Julian would be entering a field that unofficially includes MLAs Mike Farnworth and John Horgan, both runners-up from the last leadership contest, and potentially even Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, a lawyer with a definite gift of the gab. The Globe and Mail included Corrigan on its recent list of potential candidates for the job, noting he has experience running a municipality deemed the best-run city in Canada and calling him “blunt and forthright.” Whoever enters the race, the leadership contest will be a relief to many after months of uncertainty following Dix’s disaster of an election last spring where he managed what seemed inconceivable only months earlier—blowing a 20-point lead in the polls to lose an election that appeared his for the taking. A new leader will give the party the sense of renewal it so desperately needs, and the party faithful a reason to look forward to 2017.

The best kind of customer service It started over carrots – the really fresh ones with the bushy green bits still attached. The foliage hangs out of the plastic bag if you don’t trim it off. And Gary the produce guy had the required knife, or utility scissors. Simple as that, really. It doesn’t matter which store. It starts with an S, so take your pick of several. After a few repetitions of this Saturday morning procedure, Gary observed that my teen daughter and I regularly did the family grocery shopping. We’re obviously still close, and that’s a good thing, he opined. Clearly, in her early years, I was doing something right as a father, because if I hadn’t, it would be too late for father-daughter bonding now, he told me. I’m not sure why, but I found that quite reassuring. I mean, Gary is not a psychologist, or counsellor. He’s a produce guy in a big supermarket. But sometimes, the best advice, or sagest wisdom is issued by ordinary individuals who have been there.
Andrew Holota Happily, you don’t need special credentials to dispense common sense. Gary has a stock of that, developed from his own experience with kids and life in general. I know a few people like that, although there’s only one produce guy among them. Anyway, he came to know our names, and likewise. He had an advantage there, since he recognized my picture from the newspaper. He was a regular reader of the paper, and usually had some germane comment to make about a local issue, particularly if I had written about it. He agreed with my musings on most things, which was good, because who wants to be arguing politics or social values with

the produce guy on Saturday mornings. Over the past four years, Gary followed our travels with keen interest. He marvelled that my daughter and I did a trip together somewhere every year, just the two of us. Keep her close and communicating, he counselled, and she’ll get through all the trials and tribulations of teenhood without major issues. And then he’d trim our carrots. After one of the occasions my wife did the weekend grocery shopping, she remarked that there was a really helpful, pleasant guy in the produce section, named Gary, who chatted with her regularly. Sure, we said. We’ve known him for a long time. It was quite some time before Gary put one and two together, and came up with the same family, which is apropos of nothing in particular, other than it illustrates his consistency with his customers. And that’s the point of this, I suppose. In this rushed world of big box

everything, endless aisles, throngs of shoppers, and emphasis on speedy service, it’s unusual to develop even a superficial relationship with someone serving customers, let alone a first-name friendship that delves into matters such as raising kids and travelling the world. He’s not the only one in our grocery store like that, actually. We know Pam at checkout as well – who has graduated from university and is going to become a chiropractor, taking her training in California. They make Saturday morning “country comfortable.” And they make their store more than a little bit special. It’s more than customer service. It’s customer connection. Not every shopping interaction can be like that, but when it occurs, you just have to stop a moment and appreciate it. Gary just retired a week ago. We’re sincerely going to miss him.

Build a bridge to the island They need to build a bridge to Vancouver Island. Someone should study the economic benefits. But of course some Islanders would be screaming. Look at the bridges Denmark has built; this is not impossible. Gene Blishen Burnaby
MARKETING MOVES COME TOO SOON Call me old fashioned, but I remember a time when Christmas wasn’t even mentioned or seen until after Remembrance Day. I guess I missed the boat, but when shopping at Superstore tonight I looked up and saw the Halloween costumes and right across from them Santa Claus and Frosty. The last time I checked my calendar Thanksgiving was still two weeks away, Halloween a month away, Remembrance Day still six weeks away. For heaven’s sake, they’re still selling back-to-school and closing out summer stuff. Do we really need to have Christmas flashed in front of us three months ahead of time? Larry Sewell Burnaby
THOUGHTFUL GESTURE A lovely woman named Shelley delivers the NewsLeader to our street. We have chatted on occasion during the past few years. Last week I mentioned that I was turning 65 next week. What did I find in my mailbox yesterday, but a birthday card from Shelley. What a kind and thoughtful thing to do. Sandra Head Burnaby
PARKING PROBLEM I would like to inform newer residents of the Parkcrest neighbourhood—as well as developers and city engineers—that in the area between Lougheed Highway, Holdom Avenue, Halifax Street and Kensington Avenue there is a bylaw regarding off-street parking dating back to 1994. It states in part: “access for vehicles to all off street parking spaces shall be provided by a lane abutting the lot, but where there is no abutting lane, access may be taken from the street.” I was curious to know why after almost 20 years of this bylaw, a house being constructed on Parkcrest Drive, mid block, which clearly has lane access, was being built with an attached garage in the front of the house. So I went to city hall to find some answers. Everybody I talked to at city hall was helpful and regarding the house in question, it was acknowledged a mistake had been made, but that since the house was already under construction, nothing could be done. In my opinion having garages and driveways in front of houses will decrease on-street parking, making the street less safe for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists, especially at night and will increase the number of motorists doing U-turns, which seems to have become common practice in this city in the last five to 10 years. It also under utilizes laneways, which were designed for garages,
carports and driveways. The face of Parkcrest Drive has now been changed, with this house being the only one with the garage in the front of the house, due to the rules not being followed. I hope this is the last time this happens. Chris Morris Burnaby
LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE Re: Burnaby’s Animal Control Bylaw The deadline for feedback to the city’s proposed amendments to Burnaby’s animal control bylaw have come and gone, and from the numbers provided to me by the Office of the City Clerk, it is clear citizens of Burnaby do not support breedspecific legislation (BSL). As of Friday, Sept. 27, there were 13 letters in support of Burnaby’s current BSL bylaws and 95 letters opposed. It is time the City of Burnaby do the right thing and
remove breed-specific bylaws or face the consequences in the next election (Fall 2014). Keith Bemister Burnaby
LONG SHOT Re: TransLink referendum doomed, Metro Vancouver mayors warn minister TransLink keeps wanting more and more money from taxpayers yet they always create flops. Golden Ears Bridge was built too big and the King Edward overpass is wasteful in that it directs traffic to a one-lane bridge. Both TransLink and the provincial government are making another big mistake with the Evergreen Line. Taxpayers never got to vote on that project, yet they are supposedly given the chance with other projects on the referendum. So how can TransLink succeed with a referendum? Vincent Lizee Coquitlam

PRESENTED BY
ROUND 2
A new “signature” liquor store is being proposed for the SOLO District project under construction at the southwest corner of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway. Signature Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) stores are the largest of the provincial government-owned and operated liquor outlets which offer the largest range of products and special events such as product tastings. The proposal is to open up such a store in the 48-storey residential-commercial tower now being built as the second phase of Appia Development’s SOLO project. It’s expected to be completed in 2015. If approved, the store would be located on the second level over two levels of parking and retail space, and underneath 11
storeys of offices and 33 storeys of condominium apartments, according to a city staff report. The proposal would fall in line with a liquor store location framework, adopted by city council in 2006, which called for the establishment of a government signature liquor store in each of Burnaby’s four town centres. “The purpose of this objective is to offer equity and certainty for consumers throughout the City in terms of product availability, convenience, and stable pricing,” the report said. A smaller LDB store currently in Brentwood mall is expected to be replaced by the proposed signature store, said the report. The store would be located on Skyline Drive, a new street that would be built through the development site parallel to
Lougheed. And while signature stores are generally open later than smaller liquor stores, such hours would be consistent with at least two other major commercial tenants confirmed for the project, Whole Foods Market and Shoppers Drug Mart, the report noted. Burnaby’s planning department will work with the applicant to create a development plan suitable to be presented at a public hearing in the future.
Streamlined licensing for trades
Starting Oct. 1, eligible construction and trades-related businesses will only need one licence to work in Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, Richmond or Vancouver. The new inter-municipal business licence will allow businesses based in those cities to work in all the others for a single fee instead of having to obtain separate nonresident licences for each city where they operate outside their home municipality. “Because our city is in the centre of the region, it is a great home base for contractors who work in many places,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who credited the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) for advocating for the change with city council. “We believe that this new inter-municipal business licence will streamline licensing processes and reduce costs for Burnaby construction- and trades-related businesses, helping them to be even more successful.” “We are very pleased that Burnaby construction- and trades-related businesses Install a programmable will now be able to thermostat and enjoy the cost – and paperwork – savings on your natural gas heating bill.1 that come from having Tour our virtual Energy House to learn a single business licence that allows them to work about your home’s carbon footprint and in six municipalities,” enter to win 1 of 10 $500 family prize said BBOT president and CEO Paul Holden. packs2 at fortisbc.com/smallerfootprints.

London Drugs to host Compass card machines Partnership gives more places to buy transit smart cards sparks
Police seeking man for uttering threats Burnaby RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding Angelo Sparks, who is wanted for uttering threats related to a case of domestic violence. The incident took place in Burnaby on Sept. 27. Anyone who sees Sparks is asked to call police immediately and not to approach him, as he is considered dangerous. Sparks is described as a black man, 178 cm (five-foot-10), 77 kgs (170 pounds) with brown eyes and black hair. Anyone with information on Sparks’ whereabouts is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers.
Transit riders will be able to reload or buy Compass cards at vending machines in 18 London Drugs stores starting early next year. TransLink’s partnership with the B.C.-based retailer will give transit users access to the machines at more locations besides rapid transit stations as the new smart card
payment system rolls out. “We wanted to extend our reach beyond the stations to locations that touch a broader part of the community,” said Mike Madill, TransLink vice-president of enterprise initiatives. Existing retailers who now sell TransLink passes and tickets will be able to sell preloaded Compass cards, but those outlets won’t be able to reload them or host vending machines. London Drugs was selected to
Employees meet employers here…
l
host the in-store machines after a competitive bidding process. Madill said no money is changing hands but declined to provide details on the deal with the retailer. Passengers will also be able to reload cards by phone or online – it’s expected many will use a feature to set their Compass card to automatically reload from a connected credit card or bank account whenever the card value drops below a set level.
Vending machines will be more important to Compass users who want to reload the card using cash because they don’t have a credit card or bank account, or choose not to connect them. The machines in London Drugs stores in South Delta, South Surrey, Cloverdale, Langley, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and the North Shore will be the only physical places to reload cards in those areas, which are far from SkyTrain stations.

B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants. That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms. “The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around licensed premises,” Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich said in a submission to the review. Rich, who chairs the legislative committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment. He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters. “It’s the licensed premises that primarily has the authority to have people leave its premises if it’s concerned, but aby Board of Trade’s rn Bu e th r fo that’s difficult with gang Upcoming Events! members,” Rich said.

Hi, I’m Nathan! Homeschooling has its benefits, but there sure is a lot of work – so much, that I usually require the assistance of my siblings to help deliver my newspapers. My sister Katrina and occasionally my five year old brother, Mark, have been fearlessly braving the outdoors to give people their NewsLeader on time.
CARRIERS OF THE WEEK: KATRINA & NATHAN
Katrina’s done stellar work, which is why she should get the “Carrier of the Week” award— despite the fact that the NewsLeader doesn’t employ her...yet. Being a newspaper carrier is a worthwhile endeavour!
If you are interested in becoming a carrier for the NewsLeader or would like to nominate a carrier please call 604.436.2472 Thank you to Wally’s Burgers New Westminster for their kind sponsorship of the Carrier of the Week program.

AAA high school varsity football action. Lee rushed for 286 yards in scoring five TDs along the ground and another off of a 20-yard interception return on the only play he participated in on defence. Quarterback J.J.

Santorelli secures spot on Canucks It looks like Mike Santorelli has found a home with his hometown team. When the Vancouver Canucks released their opening day roster for the 2013-14 season, the Burnaby puck product was on it. The centre signed a one-year, $550,000 deal as a free agent with the Canucks during the offseason. Last season Santorelli, 27, scored one assist in 10 games after being picked up by the Winnipeg Jets following his release from the Florida Panthers. He had scored 31 goals and 24 assists in 166 games for Florida. He was a sixth round draft pick of Nashville scoring two goals and one assist in 32 games for the Predators. He also netted 74 goals and 97 assists over
three seasons for Nashville’s AHL affiliate the Milwaukee Admirals.
Grassi assigned to Nailers Another Burnaby native, defenceman Matt Grassi, 24, will begin his first full year of professional hockey with the Wheeling Nailers after being assigned to the ECHL team by the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL, the Montreal Canadiens’ farm team, Sunday.
