The jury in the coroner’s inquest into the death of Angus David Mitchell is recommending better communication between doctors and police when it comes to patients with mental health issues and access to firearms. Mitchell, 26, died May 30, 2012 after being shot multiple times in Maple Ridge by the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team. At the time, the former security guard was a suspect in the double homicide at Royal Oak Sushi House in South Burnaby of the restaurant’s owner, 36-year-old Burnaby resident Huong (Andy) Tran, and a female employee, Chinh (Vivian) Diem Huynh, 34. He was also the suspect in the attempted murder of his 51-year-old former landlord who was shot in front of his Gilpin Crescent house. Police later confirmed the rifle seized from Mitchell was used in all three shootings. see ‘HIT LIST’, A9

Students lead fundraiser for Philippines Monetary donations can be dropped off at any district school Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby secondary students are leading a school district-wide fundraising effort to assist the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. One of the students, Natasha Vlajnic, said she was shocked when she heard initial estimates that as many as 10,000 had been killed by the disaster. But then she realized there are so many more who desperately need food, water and shelter and time is running out, said Vlajnic, a Grade 11 student at Moscrop secondary. “The longer we put it off the less will need these necessities because more people will have died.” As of Monday, official estimates are that about 4,000 people had died, more than 18,000 are injured and two million are homeless, while almost 1,600 remain among the missing. With the help of district principals, the student leaders are coordinating efforts to raise

money and collect donations from the broader community at each of Burnaby’s public schools until Dec. 2. Donations are currently being matched by the federal and provincial governments. The money will be directed to the Canadian Red Cross and be pooled together so students across the city can feel a part of the achievement. “It is really hard-hitting,” said Janani Ravikularam, a Grade 11 student at Burnaby South. “You think about what we have … It’s important to realize that and do something about it.” The students planned to have every school participate in Toonie Tuesday on Nov. 19 with a goal of collecting $2 per student, as a way to launch the campaign. “It’s not only to build a sense of community, you really see the difference in numbers, there’s strength in numbers,” said Ravikularam, 16. Grace Jin, a Grade 12 Burnaby Mountain student, agreed. “You can see the impact when [the money] is all pooled together.” There are about 1,000 students in the district who speak Tagalog as the primary language at home, according to district

communications manager Jodie Wilson. It’s no surprise then, that the disaster hits close to home. Jin met a woman who lost her niece, while Vlajnic’s best friend lost her uncle’s entire family. “It’s really hard for her to come to school,” Vlajnic said. “They can’t get hold of half the people [they’re looking for].” Burnaby’s highly multicultural

makeup means “no matter where a disaster happens it touches the community,” said Joey Whittemore, a Grade 12 Burnaby North student. Whittemore noted that the student leaders aim to establish a framework to help with similar student responses following future disasters. Burnaby North principal Gordon Li helped get the ball

rolling by contacting fellow principals who all agreed to make it a district-wide effort and open school doors to the wider community so people have a convenient place to drop off their monetary donations to the cause. “I just thought it would be more powerful if kids feel that when they are in certain stress, when they come across situations like that, they can go to the community to gather strength,” said Li. Cash or cheques, made out to the school’s name and marked with “Philippine Relief,” can be dropped off at any public school in Burnaby. Include contact information to receive a tax receipt, for donations of $20 or more. People can also donate online at https://burnaby. schoolcashonline.com/ (under “items,” then “make a donation,” and include “Philippine Relief ” in the memo field) directly from their bank account. Credit cards are not accepted. While tax receipts will be issued by the school district, all the money raised will be forwarded to the Canadian Red Cross.

Water, sewer rates to rise

Black Friday coming to Burnaby

Burnaby water and sewer rates are set to rise 5.5 per cent each in 2013 under proposals by city hall. In both cases, the jumps are largely to fund cost increases in the supply of water and sewer treatment by Metro Vancouver, according to reports from Burnaby’s finance director Denise Jorgenson. They also ensure the utilities are financially self sustaining in funding maintenance and the replacement of aging infrastructure. Changes in the water rates are down from recent years when they ranged from a 14 per cent jump in 2010 to six per cent hikes in each of the last two years. If approved by council, the change will increase the water utility bill for a single family home by about $28 to almost $545. Sewer rates will also be the lowest in six years after seeing a nine per cent increase in 2009 before trending downward to six per cent in 2012 and 2013. For a singlefamily home, the sewer utility bill will go up about $27 to around $513.

Black Friday is coming to Burnaby’s malls. More than 100 stores Metropolis at Metrotown will be opening their doors at 7 a.m., Friday, Nov. 29 to celebrate the discount shopping day that has become notorious south of the border for deep discounts and throngs of bargain hunters eager to save money on the unofficial start to the Christmas shopping season. Stores at Lougheed Town Centre will also be opening at 7 a.m. Black Friday is traditionally the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving and is one of the busiest shopping days. It’s believed to have gotten the nickname because the Christmas season is usually when small retailers start to make profits, which are recorded in black ink in ledger sheets. Increasingly the hype around Black Friday has attracted Canadian shoppers to head south seeking bargains. To help keep them at home, Metropolis at Metrotown will be doling out free coffee in the

Atrium Court as well as offering gift cards of up to $500 to the first 250 shoppers and other prizes throughout the day. The mall will also be collecting gently used clothing that will be donated to Burnaby’s Orphan Aid thrift store. The first 200 shoppers at Lougheed Town Centre to visit the guest services desk will get a $10 gift card that can be used in the mall, and there will be live entertainment throughout the day.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Unkind cuts

LAST WEEK:

The massive cuts to BC Ferries routes, to take effect in April, would likely be a little bit easier to swallow if the BC Ferries board had done the right thing and cut the exorbitant wages and bonuses given to senior management. As it is, the board instituted a two-year wage freeze and rolled the bonuses into the regular salaries paid to executives. A small portion will be held back, to be earned if performance targets are met. This is such an obvious shell game. These top people will continue to get the same high salaries they get today. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan makes $563,000. His counterpart on the similar-sized Washington state ferry system makes $166,000. BC Ferries is going through a massive exercise to save about $19 million. There is no question there is a need to reduce some services on lightly-travelled routes. Asking seniors aged 65 and over to pay 50 per cent of the passenger fare Mondays through Thursdays is not a major imposition. Most seniors who live in coastal communities have enough disposable income to make the occasional ferry trip, and they will still be getting a substantial discount over every other traveller. But had the BC Ferries board made some substantial cuts to the wages of its top managers, money would be saved without a single sailing being cut. The real challenge that the provincial government faces is rooting out the members of the boards who run its Crown corporations, and in the case of BC Ferries, a private corporation owned 100 per cent by the province. It needs board members ready to challenge the CEOs and top managers they are supposed to be keeping watch on. It needs board members who will look out for taxpayers and consumers. Then the public will be much better served. —Langley Times/Black Press

Two solitudes on B.C. farmland VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are

attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away. In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.” Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Merritt councillor Mike

Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population. Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed. Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well

hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration.

Big trees play key role in neighbourhood Re: Burnaby tree bylaw changes get go-ahead Arrg... And the clear cutting commences. One of the most beautiful trees in our area (in South Burnaby, on Hurst) was just cut down. The house next door to this tree was just knocked down, and I went by yesterday to see if that lovely, huge and unique conifer was in danger. I was thankful that the tree was on the property next door and looked to be out of danger. I am dismayed to report that the tree was cut down today. Pretty much every large tree in our area that is on or near a redeveloped house has been chopped down and in most cases no trees have been replanted—just the front and back lawns paved over completely. As more enormous towers are built in nearby Metrotown, one of the few barriers to the light and sight pollution are the big old conifers. It will be 50-plus years before the like are seen in Burnaby again. Very sad. Tom Carter —online comment burnabynewsleader.com

Some treeS need to but cut w We are among the people

accused by Ms. Polos of clearcutting our property in advance of a new tree bylaw from the City of Burnaby. We have planned to take down the trees for years. It’s expensive and we only recently have been able to afford it. Still, we have more trees left in our backyard than multiple properties in our neighborhood.

My husband and I have lived within a kilometre of our current address all our lives, and in this house for 34 years. We love this area—it’s amazing how people can judge you so easily without any thought. Most of the people who are so concerned with tree removal have no immediate risk to their homes by a 90-foot tree coming down. I hope we all remember the devastation that ripped through Stanley Park a few years ago. These trees are too big to be right beside someone’s home. Let’s get proactive in Burnaby, and encourage people to plant trees. How many people plant those seedlings their kids bring home from school? We did, and they are healthy and happy twenty-footers now. Lorraine Arthurs Burnaby

what he says, when he knew about it and how many people in his office knew... Not a nickel of taxpayer money was ever at risk. But so far, the leader of the opposition has talked about little else during the past eight months. I do hope the local scandal receives as much attention! Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

crueleSt cutS The BC Liberals just can’t seem to help themselves. On Oct. 30 the NewsLeader reported (Community social service agencies grapple with shortfall) the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion was going to have to make budget cuts in order to pay for wage increases. These wage increases were only enacted because BACI believed the provincial government was going to help fund the three percent increase in wage. Now they and other groups across British Columbia have learned that the government never had any intention of funding those increases, and further that those organizations were on their own to determine how those wage increases would be funded. Truly, I do understand. The government is running a deficit and there is a need to live within our means, and that sadly means that cuts are going to happen whether they should or not. But to promise funding for people with disabilities and then take it away like this is beyond cruel. Trevor Ritchie Burnaby

An oil tanker travels beneath the rail bridge next to the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge in Burrard Inlet. Kinder Morgan Canada’s plans to twin the Trans Mountain Pipeline would lead to a significant increase in tanker traffic.

Summer weather, daylight and the proximity of response vessels all made for ideal conditions, Drew said in an Oct. 31 letter to the company, “yet there was still a considerable amount of unrecovered fugitive oil that contaminated the beaches of Burrard Inlet.” Drew has also raised concern about tanker lights and noise, the size of the proposed new three-berth loading terminal, and the risk of earthquakes that could rupture the pipeline and trigger a hard-to-contain land-to-sea spill, possibly in conjunction with a landslide near Burnaby Mountain. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson a week earlier told a Vancouver business audience the risk of earthquakes is being studied closely but seismic reviews so far indicate Burnaby Mountain is “one of the most solid, secure rock bases in the Lower Mainland.” He also told reporters the steady improvements in leak detection, valve shutoff and other technologies that would come with a new $5.4-billion pipeline would actually reduce land-based spill risks. “It’s safe today, the overall infrastructure will be safer later,” Anderson said. While much focus is on the risk of tankers sailing through Burrard Inlet to and from the existing Burnaby terminal, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he wants Metro to keep a wary eye on the potential for Kinder Morgan to switch to an alternate oil terminal near the mouth of the Fraser River if opposition to more tankers sailing past Vancouver proves too fierce.

Welcome to the NewsLeader’s Christmas Favourites feature! It’s time to start easing into the Christmas holiday season, a time to gather with friends, family, co-workers—and sometimes all three at the same time. The holiday season is when many of us brighten up the dark days of winter with music, colourful lights and decorations. And this time of year is also a time when great memories are created. Many of those memories often those involve the aroma and flavours of Christmas cooking. Whether you’re looking for something simple to take to an office function or something more involved for a home event, you’ll find some great ideas in these pages. Every year, I love to try something new to add to my holiday season cooking. Many local businesses and politicians submitted their favourite recipes and I’ll be sure to try a few out. (Someone has to do the testing!) Thank you all for taking the time to share them with us. You’ll find some great ideas in these pages for treats and main courses for your holiday fare. On a final note, as you start putting those Christmas lists together, I encourage you to strive to find those perfect gifts through a local retailer. Let’s support our community by making sure we all think local first when we’re out there shopping. And most importantly, please remember those less fortunate— drop donations to the food bank or give your spare change to the annual Kettle drive.

BC Ferries bosses swap bonuses for higher pay New system of salary holdbacks ‘bait and switch’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

It won’t be called a bonus any longer, but BC Ferries executives will take home almost as much money as they do now after a switch to a salary holdback plan. After months of promises by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to fix the controversial bonuses, the corporation announced Wednesday they’ve been eliminated retroactive to April 1, 2013. In their place is a new salary holdback system that raises the base salary of executives by the fouryear average of their recent bonuses. Part of the new higher base salary will be held back, starting next April, and be paid out only if performance targets are met. BC Ferries’ board chair Donald Hayes said the plan is in line with the province’s guidelines for executive compensation at

Crown corporations. But critics aren’t impressed. “It’s bait and switch,” NDP leader Adrian Dix said. “This is a bonus scheme by another name. I don’t know why the premier thinks people will be fooled by this.” BC Ferries executive vice-president and chief financial officer Robert Clarke received a $133,000 bonus this year on top of his base salary of $297,300, for total pay before pension contributions of $431,000. Under the new system, his maximum salary will rise to $403,000, assuming he meets targets and isn’t subject to any holdback.0 CEO Michael Corrigan’s base salary rises from $364,000 to $425,125 and he is forecast to get the identical overall compensation of $563,000 in 2014 after pension contributions and other benefits are added. Corrigan’s pay is capped at that level, which is 60 per cent below former CEO David Hahn, who had been dubbed

the “million dollar man” for the bonuses that took his overall compensation into seven figures. The corporation said a holdback plan for other managers wasn’t feasible so their base salaries will be raised by the four-year average of bonuses, which will no longer be paid. Hayes also announced a two-

year pay freeze for all executives and managers until 2016. “A two-year pay freeze is meaningless when you’re overpaying so dramatically,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman, who pointed to the much lower salary of $165,943 paid to the CEO of Washington State’s ferry system.

CHOICEquotes Jordan Bateman Canadian Taxpayers Federation I’d call this baby steps but that might be insulting to babies.

“I’d call this baby steps but that might be insulting to babies.” He said nothing has been done to address the real problem with bonuses or holdbacks – that they’re meaningless if

the targets are too easy to achieve. The most recent bonuses were paid out for 2012 performance when the corporation recorded a surplus, but critics maintain that shouldn’t have

counted because the government injected $21.5 million in extra subsdies. Bateman said no executive should get a bonus or a holdback repaid in years where BC Ferries raises fares or takes more money in provincial subsidies. “That should be a deal breaker on bonuses and holdbacks.”

Visitors can enjoy live entertainment daily, as well as the challenge of the Twelve Days of Christmas Scavenger Hunt, complete with 12 drummers, a partridge in a pear tree, and everything in between. Live theatre, music and children’s entertainment is featured before and after Christmas.

It pulls at the heart strings, with its longing for family and the simple joys of the season. There are so many sights, sounds and smells throughout the holidays that remind us of family traditions.

The PMP applies to BNSF property within their New Westminster Subdivision, and is located in proximity to the communities of White Rock, Delta, Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster. The common name and examples of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex DF), flumioxazin (Payload), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuron methyl (Escort) and triclopyr (Garlon XRT). Application methods include: wick/wipe on applications, truck mounted shrouded spray boom, back pack/hand held sprayers, power hose and nozzle, squirt bottles and injection tools. The proposed duration of the PMP is from January 31, 2014 to January 31, 2019. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: BNSF Railway, 400 Brunette Avenue, New Westminster, BC, or by contacting the Agent listed above. “A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, 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”
