MLA asks if others involved in scandal

‘I just thought, ‘This is it ...’ Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

year ago this spring, a New Westminster woman and a Burnaby man met under unusual circumstances in the Kootenays – on the undercarriage of a 2007 Toyota Matrix flipped upside down in an icy, swift-flowing creek. Frank Barbosa was unconscious, his lungs filled with water; Lisa Collyer was scooping water and mucus out of his mouth and nose, and yelling for him to stay with her. The pair met again this week under happier circumstances in Downtown New West, with Collyer accepting a St. John Ambulance life-saving award for her actions that day, and Barbosa – a husband and father of two – alive, conscious, and there to show his gratitude. Their first meeting was April 20, 2013. Collyer, a Douglas College hotel management student, was on her way from New West to Rossland on a sunny spring day to work at a hotel for the summer. Twenty minutes outside of Christina Lake, she drove around a bend on Highway 3B and saw a group of people clustered by the side of the road, looking down a steep embankment. She stopped and saw a vehicle flipped upside down in the creek below, one man lying lifeless on its undercarriage with another man trying to provide first aid while yet another man splashed around in the icy water, trying to see if anyone else was trapped inside. Minutes before, Barbosa had been driving his Matrix in the opposite direction, back to

The NDP is raising questions about the Liberals “quick wins” scandal, following Election Act charges against Burnaby’s Brian Bonney. Bonney was charged Monday, along with the Liberal party director Mark Robertson, for allegedly violating the Election Act during the 2012 Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection. The allegations, which have not been proven in court, stem from the RCMP’s investigation of the Liberals “quick wins” or ethnic vote scandal. Burnaby-Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan questioned the extent of the investigation, which is expected to wrap up in early 2015. “(Bonney)’s been charged and those are pretty serious allegations, … but there were others involved as well, and remember this goes right back to Christy Clark,” Corrigan said. “I think the question is: how much farther does this go? This particular investigation, I think it’s probably fairly widespread.” The charges – filed against Bonney, Robertson and their company, Mainland Communications – allege the two had Sepideh Scandal Page 3

◗ TEACHERS’ LABOUR DISPUTE

Hundreds of international students kept busy with field trips, activities Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby school district is keeping about 1,000 international students busy with field trips and cultural group activities as the B.C. teachers’ strike chews through the second week of the new school year this week. The students, who each pay $13,000 a year in tuition and about $900 a month for homestay accommodations, have visited UBC, Grouse Mountain, the Museum of Anthropology and Stanley Park. “All activities have taken place outside of the school district and did not involve any work done by teachers,” assistant superin-

tendent Heather Hart told the NOW in an emailed statement. Hart said district non-union and CUPE staff ran orientations for international students, but English assessments, school tours and meetings with school counsellors had to be deferred. In her emailed statement, Hart said international students have been told the district is “hopeful that the current labour situation will be resolved in the near future.” Asked whether students had been warned in June or during the summer about the possibility of lost school days, Hart said the district had anticipated the labour situation would be resolved during the summer and

that the school year would begin on time. Once the school year begins, Hart said students will receive “a full program and full course credits” and that learning outcomes for international students will be met. “We may have to adjust things to do that, but those outcomes will be met,” she said. So far enrolment has not been affected by the strike, with the district registering more international students this year than last, according to Hart. Burnaby’s international program is expected to generate about $14.3 million in revenue this year and cost about $8 million to run. For updates on the teachers’ strike, go to www.burnabynow.com.

Medal winners: Three-year-old twins Ananiah and Azariah Sisay with city councillor Paul McDonell at the library’s Medal Award Ceremony.

Kids lined up in droves at Burnaby’s Civic Square Saturday morning to receive medals for participating in the library’s summer reading club. Local school board and council representatives were there to hand out medals to children who spent at least 50 days reading this summer. “It went really well and everyone had an excellent time,” said the library’s Vicki Donoghue. “The weather was beautiful and (there was) lots of celebration of reading.” A total of 734 kids received medals, and more have been picking theirs up at local library branches. An estimated 2,000 people attended the event, according to Donoghue. The library also hosted a pancake breakfast to raise money to buy more library books, and there were children’s activities throughout the morning. The B.C. Library Association and the Burnaby Public Library sponsor the summer reading club, with support from Libraries and Literacy and the Ministry of Education. Local library branches will continue handing out medals till the end of September for any families who missed the event on Saturday. – By Jennifer Moreau, staff reporter

Rescue: Three commended for ‘selfless act’ that saved a life continued from page 1

“I could feel the water in my lungs,” he said. “My head was fully immersed.” He was sure no one had seen him crash into the creek, and even if someone had, he didn’t think he stood much of a chance of being rescued. “I just thought, ‘This is it,’” he said. “I didn’t really panic much. I just made my peace with God and accepted it. And the next thing I remember was being on top of the highway.” onths after the crash, other vague memories would come back to him as well: a woman’s voice asking about his family, a woman holding his hand. Someone had seen him tumble off the embankment. Nelson resident Mike Henderson and Albertan Steve Vandervelden – two strangers in two separate cars – stopped, slid down the steep bank and jumped into the frigid, chest-high water. Unable to open any of the doors, they smashed a window, and Vandervelden dove in, cut Barbosa loose and pulled him out. But neither man knew CPR, according to Collyer. By the time she arrived, they had turned the unconscious Barbosa on his side on the undercarriage of the Matrix after giving him a few “chest thumps” (the phrase used by one of the men in police reports) with help from an off-duty nurse shouting instructions from the top of the embankment. Collyer soon slid down the bank and stepped into the fastflowing creek to help. “I had to climb down quite a steep

embankment to get to him – and as I was stepping my first foot into the river, my brain kind of said, ‘Should I really be doing this?’ Then you just think, ‘Forget it; there’s someone here who needs my help.’” Soon she was on the undercarriage of the Matrix with Barbosa, while Henderson and Vandervelden searched the submerged car for passengers. “He was blue; he had lots of water in his lungs,” Collyer said of Barbosa. “He had a lot of bile and sludge coming out, so what I really did was clear his airways. I could, at that point, feel a very slight pulse.” She stayed with him for more than 40 minutes before emergency crews arrived, she said. “The undercarriage was maybe three inches above the water line. I pretty much had to lie on top of the guy to hold him down once he started to regain consciousness. He started freaking out.” They talked of God and his family, Collyer said, but Barbosa remembers little of those 40 minutes. “I remember being really cold and shaking,” he said. All three rescuers left the scene without emergency personnel approaching them for an account of what had happened. “It was all very surreal,” Collyer said. “By the time I got to Rossland, which is about a half-hour drive from there, I actually started to cry.” But police would soon track down Collyer and the two men, and all three have since been recommended by Grand

Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison for a Commanding Officer’s Commendation for Bravery from the RCMP. “It was just a team effort by a bunch of people that, out of the goodness of their heart, stopped to save him,” Harrison said. “It a was a very selfless act on the part of all three. We’re talking spring runoff. It was an extremely fast and deep creek running through there and very, very cold.” Back in New Westminster, meanwhile, Collyer was presented Monday evening with a life-saving certificate and com-

mended for her “selfless actions, teamwork and for her knowledge and use of first aid in saving a life” by the local chapter of St. John Ambulance. Barbosa was on hand to cheer her on. In the end, after Christina Lake Fire Rescue winched him from the creek more than a year ago and sent him off in an ambulance, Barbosa spent only three nights in hospital with a cut on his head and some water in his lungs that took about a month to clear completely. “It just wasn’t his time,” Collyer said. twitter.com/CorNaylor

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is this really worth the $200? Dear Editor:

Is $200 really stopping us from opening the public schools? Once again the government has rejected the B.C. Teachers’ Federations’s offer to have their labour dispute settled through binding arbitration. The reason they give is because binding arbitration might increase our taxes. When the doctors’ dispute went to binding arbitration we all had to pay an extra 0.5 per cent, but many forget this followed our taxes actually being reduced by about 20 per cent when the Liberals came to power. Minister of Finance, Mike de Jong, is quoted as saying, “if the government accepted the union’s current proposal,

it would cost every B.C. property-owner another $200. annually” (Vancouver Sun, Sept. 9). Of course that would be if an arbitrator were to agree to all of the BCTF demands–which is quite doubtful. Nevertheless, is this really stopping us from getting schools reopened? I don’t have kids in school, but I’d happily pay $200 to get kids into school and receive a quality education. A dinner for two this past Saturday cost $235. Perhaps we British Columbians have to get our priorities straight. For those who genuinely can’t afford an extra $200. I’d happily pay for one or two of those families as well. The other option, of course, is don’t pay and have our uneducated youth robbing all of us for a meagre $200. Think about it!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR B.C. should follow Burnaby

Dear Editor:

Congratulations, Burnaby, for putting the health of your community and successive generations first (City files civil claim to stop Kinder Morgan, Sept. 10). The environment, and particularly sensitive areas, should be protected forever and not subject to the whim of private corporations who see them as nothing but obstacles to profit. Most British Columbians do not want our parks, our legacies, to be sliced and diced for the export of tarsands oil. Burnaby’s legal challenge should also be a wakeup call to the province as well. It’s time for the B.C. government to repeal their recent Park Amendment Act, which provides government with the statutory authority to issue permits for industrial research in protected areas, and the park boundary adjustment policy, which allows government to carve up parks to suit corporate desires and pipeline aspirations. Bruce Passmore, executive director, B.C. chapter, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society

Liberals are the culprits Dear Editor:

Re: Fassbender: Wage demands must be cut, Sept. 5 If anyone had any doubts which party is blocking progress in the teacher’s labour dispute, that became glaringly clear yesterday. Despite the fact that workers and employers universally dislike binding arbitration, the BCTF is willing to risk binding arbitration to settle the dispute, while the government stubbornly refuses to budge. The B.C. Liberals’ stubborn refusal to budge on any monetary issues shows us where their priorities lay. Despite the fact that B.C. teachers earn the lowest overall pay (according to the Vancouver Sun), and hundreds of millions of dollars were taken

out of the education system by the Liberals in 2002, the government says there is no money. This is simply not true. The B.C. Liberals simply have other priorities and public education is not one of them. When the B.C. Liberals took power in 2001, they immediately gave a $1.8-billion tax break, most of which went to a few thousand taxpayers. What about the decision to spend $500-plus-million on the new (and still not working properly) roof for B.C. Place? Then there were the corporate tax cuts, which have saved billions of dollars for corporations and have shown little in return for the residents of B.C. There was also the millions spent by fighting the BCTF and health sectors in losing court cases that could have been put into the general revenues, as well as spin for the government’s position. I could give dozens of more examples, but the B.C. Liberal record on spending and tax breaks clearly demonstrates that public education in B.C. is not a priority for them. There is clearly only one party blocking any resolution to the teacher’s labour dispute, and it is not the teachers.

Yes, $3 makes a difference

Dear Editor:

They say a $3 increase will not break the bank for most drivers. What about seniors like myself on fixed incomes? That $3 will have an effect on what I decide I will have to give up to cover this extra cost, maybe my medicines or maybe I’ll cut down on vegetables I buy.

salmon-spawning channel (leaving streamkeepers to seek “greener” action at the public hearing for that redevelopment). I close by noting that individual municipal Greens work pragmatically with other members in the Burnaby First Coalition to get green thinking implemented at city hall. How could we not given the current spectacle of brown BCA incumbents like Mayor Corrigan furiously “green-washing” their

otherwise brown actions in public. To paraphrase Forrest Gump: “Brown is as brown does.” And green-washing at this late date doesn’t help. Mr. Melynk could go a long way to peeling that “not credible” label off his forehead by acknowledging this truth in his next letter. G.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ICBC increase too steep continued from page 7

ICBC, the Motor Vehicle Branch and the RCMP need to get together and go after the ones that are causing these constant increase. Not everyone should be paying for others’ stupidity. Thinking that education will help? Not a chance. Get a ticket for talking on a cell while driving – the fine should be $200 and a copy sent to ICBC and MVB. Once their rates start going up, maybe they will get the message, but probably not, because they can afford it. I cannot. Wayne MacKeigan, Burnaby

Reality check for Liberals Dear Editor:

Education Minister Peter Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have stated numerous times that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation needs to be “realistic.”

I am a teacher and I have a reality check for them. The reality of years of gross underfunding has resulted in closed schools, layoffs of specialist teachers, massive fundraising efforts by parents for the most basic necessities, and struggling students slipping through the cracks. The newly built school I will be working in this year will not have a playground as there was not enough money in the budget. These are only a few examples of our reality. It isn’t unrealistic to ask for more specialist teachers, whom the government deems part of our “benefits.” E80 guarantees nothing in terms of helping students who need ongoing support. I wonder every day of this labour dispute how the government’s view of reality is so far from the truth? The BCTF is being realistic, it’s the government that is choosing to ignore the true conditions facing public education.

Temple celebrates autumn festival

Roughly 400 people came out to Burnaby’s Tian-Jin Temple on Sunday to celebrate the autumn festival. Organizer Jeffrey Yu said people enjoyed themselves and really got that “Chinese feel.” “I think people had a fabulous time, and I’m glad every body came,” Yu said. The temple served lucky noodles, thought to bring good fortune. People played Chinese Chess, and volunteers were available to teach anyone who want-

ed to learn. There was also a tea ceremony, a display of Chinese opera masks, and face painting and games for the kids. The autumn festival is a worldwide celebration in Chinese culture during the period when the moon is biggest and brightest, Yu explained. Burnaby’s Tian-Jin Temple is the first Chinese kuan-kung temple in Canada, according to Yu. For more information, go to www.tianjintemple.org. – Jennifer Moreau

Will signs keep students safer? City may spend $55,000 on 32 new oversized school zone signs Jacob Zinn staff reporter

How much does it cost to slow down drivers in school zones? Somewhere in the five figures, evidently. The City of Burnaby is considering installing 32 “oversized” school zone signs at local elementary schools at a cost of $55,000. The proposal comes on the heels of an 18-year program, in which large school zone signs were rotated throughout the city to test their effectiveness and prevent sign fatigue, a term for the oversaturation of signs in one area. “When people see a new sign, they go, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve got to remember there’s a school zone and slow down,’” said Doug Louie, assistant director of engineering with the city’s traffic and parking departments. “The theory at that time was, if we relocated the signs, they remain relatively fresh (in drivers’ minds).” The program proved successful, prompting a report to be received by

council at Monday’s meeting calling for the permanent implementation of the signs at all Burnaby elementary schools. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, while supportive of the idea, acknowledged it was a “fairly expensive undertaking.” But according to Louie, the high cost is attributed to manufacturing the larger than normal signs (four by eight feet) and their installation. “We have to put in concrete posts and poles. We might have to put in some of the material to cover the signs (in the summer),” he said. “The signs aren’t cheap either. We have special reflective material that we need to use, and because of the size of the sign, they’re more difficult to manufacture.” Mayor Derek Corrigan supported the installation and credited the city for its efforts to combat speeding in school zones and sign fatigue. “I think it’s worthwhile to make sure that all schools have that type of signage instead of moving them around.” The signs are to be installed by the beginning of 2015 and will be paid for using existing capital budgets previously approved by council for traffic control devices.

Meet Burnaby’s own Mr. August Hall of Flame firefighter is fundraising for the B.C. Lung Association Cayley Dobie staff reporter

It’s that time of year again. The 2015 Greater Vancouver Hall of Flame calendar is set to launch on Saturday, and for the first time in a few years it features a Burnaby firefighter. Sean has worked for the department for five years, but this is his first year as the department’s “poster” boy. The 28-year-old told the NOW he isn’t shy and jumped at the chance to participate. “I talked to other members in my department that have done the calendar in the past, and it just seemed like a great opportunity to raise money for various charities in a fun way,” he said. Sean is among 13 firefighters (including the very first female firefighter) from across the Lower Mainland who were chosen for the 28th calendar at an audition in May. The audition process isn’t as gruelling as one would think, especially when there are only 12 months to fill, Sean said. The contestants were asked to mingle with the crowd and after that, everyone in attendance voted for their favourite firefighter. “The guys with the most votes moved on to make the calendar,” Sean said. Once chosen, Sean – also known as Mr. August – had his photo taken for the calendar, which was easier than it looks, he said. “I’m not a shy person at all,” he said, adding the experience was straightforward and lasted only about five minutes. “It was a fun day.” Proceeds from the sale of the calendars go to the Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society,

which in turn donates the money to a variety of local charities, including the Burn Fund, the CKNW Orphan’s Fund, B.C. Children’s Hospital and many more. This year, each firefighter is also fundraising for a charity of his or her choice by way of a FundAid campaign. Half of the money raised will go towards the firefighters’ charity of choice while the remaining half will be donated to the Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society, which produces the calendar. Sean’s charity of choice is one near and dear to his heart – the B.C. Lung Association. “Every year, I do the Stairclimb for Clean Air in Vancouver, and it’s probably one of the main charities I support,” he said. Sean thought donating a portion of his FundAid campaign earnings to the lung association would be a great way to continue his support for an organization that helps so many people. “I’m sure everyone’s been affected or knows someone who’s been affected by COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or asthma or lung cancer,” he said. The FundAid campaign kicked off on Wednesday and the official launch of the 2015 Hall of Flame calendar is on Saturday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Imperial at 315 Main St. in Vancouver. Sean said it feels really good being part of such an exciting fundraiser and can’t wait for the sales to start. “Last year, they raised over $85,000 and this year we have a goal to raise $100,000, so it feels great to be part of that,” he said. Calendars are available for purchase at London Drugs. For more information on the launch, visit www.vancouverfirefighters.ca/ Hall_of_Flame_Calendar.

Math whizzes earn honours in national contest CLASS ACT

Cornelia Naylor

rade 7 math wizards at Burnaby’s Marlborough Elementary School crushed a national math contest this spring before moving on to high school this year. Six students at the school earned perfect scores on the test, put on every May by the

University of Waterloo’s Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing. Michelle Liu, Gavin Song, Rishi Saran Vijayarajan, Roya Yang, Josh Zhang and Sophia Zhao all aced the exam with 150 points, compared to a contest average of 103.3. Josh Chen of Morley Elementary, Judy Lee of University Highlands Elementary, Andy Qin of Sager Education and Sean Wang of Moscrop Secondary also put up perfect scores in the Grade 7

category of the contest. Cecilia Cheng of Burnaby South Secondary and Andrew Lieu of Burnaby North Secondary aced the Grade 8 test, where the average was 106.2. Almost 79,000 Grade 7 and 8 Canadian and international students entered the contest this year.

Science alive

Local elementary school-aged kids can still get in a little science learning next week despite the ongoing teachers’ strike. SFU is hosting three

free Science in Action workshops led by Sophie Lavieri, an SFU chemistry professor well known for bringing science education to children and youth. “The interest in these camps has been fantastic,” Faculty of Science communications officer Diane Mar-Nicolle told the NOW. “Dr. Lavieri came up with the idea (last) Thursday afternoon and, by Friday, we released the information and schedule to the public. The workshops for this week are almost at full capacity.” The sessions – held

in the Trottier Studio for Innovative Science Education at the university’s Burnaby campus – include hands-on science experiments, activities, games and even ice-cream making. The next session for Grade 2 to 3 students runs Monday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Grade 4 to 5 students go Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and Grade 6 to 7 students go Friday from 10 to 11 a.m. The workshops may continue if teachers stay on strike. Registration is on a

first-come, first-served basis, and kids should bring a lunch. To register or find our more, email science_out reach@sfu.ca.

clubs, including Karing 4 Kids and Christmas Cheer, both of which raise funds for local charities, like the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Burnaby’s Christmas Bureau. Lum became an executive and eventually chairperson and co-chairperson of the clubs. Her efforts, together with fellow executives, raised a total of $32,000 for the two charities. “I was transformed by volunteering,” Lum said in an SFU press release, “and I hope to continue as a student at SFU.” Recipients of the Schulich Leader Scholarship, for students in science, technology or mathematics, receive their $60,000 award in eight instalments over four years.

They must demonstrate two of three attributes: academic excellence, social and/or business leadership and financial need.

Top student

A Burnaby teen has an extra $2,000 to pursue a medical education thanks to a LifeLabs scholarship. Aaron Reyes, who lives in Burnaby but graduated from Vancouver College this spring, won the award based on his grades, leadership abilities, extracurricular activities and a “very well-written” essay, according to a press release from the community laboratory services provider. Reyes is an athlete (playing lacrosse and ball hockey), a musician who has been part of the school’s band since Grade 7, and a community leader

involved in planning and running his school’s Grade 12 retreat. During his academic career, Reyes maintained a 91 per cent average, placing him in the top 20 per cent of all students at his school. An avid volunteer, Reyes has also contributed time to two Lower Mainland seniors homes and volunteered with his church’s Door is Open program, which provides assistance to disadvantaged people in downtown Vancouver. An aspiring doctor, Reyes plans to attend UBC’s nursing program this fall. Do you have an item for Class Act?

ARTS AND CULTURE

What are you? Exploring multiracial identity Kip Fulbeck: part asian, 100% hapa exhibition opens at Nikkei National Museum in Burnaby this weekend What are you? It’s a question commonly heard by people with multiracial backgrounds – and it’s the question being explored in a new photography exhibition at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre. Kip Fulbeck: part asian, 100% hapa opens at the centre on Sept. 13 and runs until Jan. 4. The term “hapa” is a Hawaiian word meaning “half” or “portion” – which was originally a derogatory way of referring to people who were half-Hawaiian and halfCaucasian, but is now used throughout North America as an identifier of pride for people who are of partial Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry. Fulbeck is an artist, photographer, spoken word performer and filmmaker who has been making films and art about hapa identity since 1990. He began photographing the multiracial individuals seen in this exhibition in 2001. The photos are all taken in a minimalist style – from the collarbone up, without clothing or adornment – and play on the official photographs taken for driver’s licences, passports and the like. The subjects are of various ages, genders and backgrounds, and each person responds in their own handwriting to the

What are you? Works from Kip Fulbeck’s new part asian, 100% hapa exhibition, opening at the Nikkei Centre this weekend. The work includes photos of multiracial people with handwritten answers to the question, “What are you?” question, “What are you?” A press release notes that the idea for the exhibit came from Fulbeck’s desire to see more people like himself, “other people who couldn’t answer the ‘check one box only’ question honestly.” “Identity is a personal process and I’m adamant that it should be a personal decision, not one made by a community, a

government or others,” Fulbeck said. The centre is also hosting a symposium with Fulbeck as the keynote speaker, on Saturday, Sept. 27. The symposium, which is designed to honour the Nikkei identity, includes a variety of panelists and dialogue and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. That same evening, the Nikkei Centre,

in partnership with the Hapa-palooza Festival, holds the hip HAPA hooray! Awards honouring Fulbeck, Fred Wah and Ann Makosinski. The awards ceremony runs from 4 to 7 p.m. For more information, check out www. centre.nikkeiplace.org or www.facebook. com/NNMCC, or call 604-777-7000. twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Burnaby businesses OK with recycling change Jacob Zinn staff reporter

When the provincial government introduced new recycling regulations in May, Burnaby businesses were up in arms over increased costs they’d have to pay for the environmental disposal of their packaging. But four months into MultiMaterial B.C.’s implementation and it’s all quiet on the western front. “It’s interesting because in truth, prior to the MMBC being

products’ producers. Prior to the May 19 start date, sectors like agriculture, newspaper publishing and landscaping were involved with the Rethink It! B.C. campaign, which called on the provincial government to take a harder look at the regulations. While those sectors are still affected by the rules, Holden noted concerns raised by groups like the BBOT prompted changes to the program that exempted more than 95 per cent of B.C. businesses from the regulations. “In truth, we haven’t had any

introduced … we were very active in advocating on behalf of the smaller businesses for whom we thought that the program was going to be overly burdensome,” said Burnaby Board of Trade president and CEO Paul Holden. “Most of our members are small- to medium-sized organizations, and for most of them, the MMBC had little or no impact when it came in.” The new regulations shifted the responsibility for paying for recycling packaging and other paper products from consumers to the

members approaching us with any concerns about MMBC since it came in,” he said. “I know that there are still some industries which I believe are still trying to advocate on their own members’ behalf, but from our point of view, it ultimately affected a much smaller percentage of organizations.” Holden said the BBOT has not been in talks with the provincial government since the MMBC program came into effect, and clarified the board was never against the improvements to recycling in

B.C., but rather the impact on small businesses at the time. “As an organization, we don’t have any issues with trying to help businesses to become more environmental and to increase recycling,” he said, referencing the board’s recent sustainability pledge. Holden added the board periodically requests feedback from local businesses on issues like the MMBC program, and if it were to become a hot-button issue again, the board would advocate on their behalf.

2015 BMW 4 Series: all sporty coupe styling David Chao

contributing writer

ith BMW continuing to grow the 3 Series lineup, they decided to differentiate the coupe versions with fresh nomenclature by calling it the 4-series in much the same way there are currently both the 5series and the 6-series. Introduced last year, the BMW 4 Series replaced the 3 Series Coupe. The 4 Series is the choice for buyers who want BMW 3 Series quality and reliability, but the sporty look of a coupe. The 4 Series competes with the likes of the Audi A5, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and the Cadillac ATS Coupe. For 2015, the 4 Series line-up sees the arrival of several new models to the standard 4 Series Coupe, which makes everything a bit more confusing. They’ve added what they call “Gran Coupe,” which is a four-door

“coupe,” if that makes any sense to you. It is a beautiful piece of rolling art in many ways, and it may be one of the prettiest BMWs around. BMW has also added a Cabriolet with a threepiece folding roof and performance enthusiasts can look forward to the new M4 Coupe or M4 Cabriolet with astounding performance.

Design

All 4 Series models are based on the 3 Series platform. Available engine and transmission options are mirrored in the 3 Series models. The 4 Series is wider, lower and longer than both the old 3 Series Coupe and the new 3 Series Sedan. The 4 Series Gran Coupe manages to add two doors without adding to the base wheelbase or overall length – it is marginally taller though. The Cabriolet is also slightly taller and is the

heaviest of the bunch. The M4 was recently introduced alongside its M3 sibling and features more performance-focused styling to go with tremendous power and torque. The M4 receives a generous serving of carbon fibre, most notably its

roof, and also shows off an aggressive lower grille, more aerodynamic mirrors and quad exhaust. Inside, a 4 Series feels very much like a 3 Series as it retains BMW’s tradition of shaping the cabin around the driver. The Gran Coupe offers better

access to the rear seats and some more cargo space without losing the design characteristic of a coupe profile. In all iterations, the 4 Series is a beautiful machine inside and out with striking silhouette that brings out the best of

BMW design.

Performance

All three of the standard 4 Series models, the Coupe, the Cabriolet and the Gran Coupe, are available with the choice of two BMW Page 22

BMW: 4 Series is the best of BMW no matter which model you pick continued from page 19

engines. In base 428i trim, the power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo four cylinder rated at 241 hp and 258 ftlbs of torque. Stepping up to the 435i bumps output to an even 300 hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque from a 3.0litre turbo straight six. Rear-wheel drive is the standard layout, but all three can be outfitted with BMW’s xDrive allwheel drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, but a six-speed manual can be equipped to Coupe and Gran Coupe models. With a wider stance and lower centre of gravity, the 4 Series boasts better agility, acceleration and balance than the impressive 3 Series. While it is sportier, the ride can be stiff, making rough pavement more uncomfortable and noisier. The newest M variants from BMW are some of the best German sport luxury cars ever. The M4 is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline six producing 425 hp and 406 ftlbs of torque. It is capable of sprinting to 100 km/h in less than four and a half seconds. The driving experience is nothing short of phenomenal, but you have to remember that this is a pure sports car with a focus on maximizing driving enjoyment vs. comfort. As in the past, the M4 is only available in RWD but does come with the choice of either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. The 4-series have adopted the 3-series’ electric power steering system. It does lose some road feel over a hydraulic unit, but it still provides accurate and precise control. The front and rear suspension has been tweaked to increase stiffness and save weight. This contributes to making this generation of M cars the easiest to drive fast.

Environment

The 4 Series has a four-passenger cabin, but while the front seats are comfortable, in the Coupe, Cabriolet and M4, the rear seats lack sufficient headroom for the average adult. The Gran Coupe remedies that somewhat, but most adults won’t find it enjoyable for long drives. The design and equip-

ment are largely the same across the range. All of the controls are within easy reach and the latest iDrive system is simpler to use, especially with its touch-sensitive controller with letter recognition on the optional navigation system. The Cabriolet is the nicest cruiser, and even with the top down and the windows up, there is very little buffeting from the wind. BMW has also done a nice job of strengthening the chassis to compensate for the lack of a roof. As a result, there is no annoying rattles of bumps. However, the metal roof does significantly cut into the cargo space. With the roof up, trunk space is not too bad, but with it down, you would be hardpressed to fit more than one medium-sized suitcase in the back. If cargo space is a concern, the Gran Coupe is the most practical 4 Series. The hatchback-style trunk lid creates a larger opening, making it easier to load items, and total space is the same as the base 3 Series.

Thumbs Down

The 3 Series provides similar performance with more space, so people may want to cross shop across both model ranges.

The Bottom Line

The 2015 BMW 4 Series may be the best execution of what BMW stands for, regardless of which model you select.

2015 BMW M4:

The all new M4 features performancefocused styling that delivers tremendous power. Contributed/ burnaby now

The 4 Series Coupe and Gran Coupe have a starting price of $44,900, while the Cabriolet starts at $56,600. The M4 Coupe starts at $75,000 with the M4 Cabriolet starting at $84,500.

Supplemental Application to Participate in National Energy Board Public Hearing for Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants. Description of the Project The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal. New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC. The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website. Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so. The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate. While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section. The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Contacts Information on NEB hearing processes and participant funding is available at www.neb-one.gc.ca/TransMountainExpansion. If you require additional information, the NEB has a dedicated Project-specific Process Advisor Team to provide assistance.

Tips on buying within a joint venture

etro Vancouver represents the most expensive housing markets in Canada so it is no surprise that many people, especially young people, are considering pooling their funds with friends to split on the cost of a buying a home. This is often referred to as joint ventures and it can involve two, three or even more people. For example, say two friends who are all renting apartments at $1,200 per month realize that if they combine their savings and buy a house, the money they are spending on rent could cover the mortgage on a 2-bedroom bedroom condo. After holding the property for a while, they can then sell and share in the equity appreciation. It is a plan that is being used widely, according to Realtors, and it can be very successful. In one case, three first-year students, with the help of their parents, purchased a three-bedroom townhouse near Simon Fraser University. Four years later, at graduation, they sold the home and made enough

money to partially pay oﬀ their student loans. It was certainly more profitable than renting for the four years. Of course, there are some things to watch for. First of all, when arranging the mortgage the names of all the buyers should be on title. Note that the mortgage lender will often take the lowest credit score among the buyers as the base for the loan approval, so make sure all the buyers have good credit ratings. There should also be a strategy agreed to by all members of the joint venture. This should include, for example, what happens if someone wants out of the agreement earlier than others. Is a sublease allowed? What is the buy out provision? There should also be a clear agreement on the exit plan, for instance how long the property should be held before it is sold. There is also sharing in expenses, such as strata

fees, maintenance and utilities. Be especially realistic about your finances and abilities if you plan on buying a ‘ﬁxer-upper’ as an investment. Renovations can be demanding and expensive and lead to a split in the partnership if no agreement is in place before work starts. All of these issues this should all be spelt out up front, ideally with legal help, before a friendship evolves into a real estate business arrangement. Investing rather than renting can pay great dividends: in the past five years, for example, the benchmark value of a detached house in Metro Vancouver has increased 12.9 per cent, and in the city of Vancouver it is up nearly 30 per cent.

Pooling resources to buy a first home can be a smart move towards financial security.

Local Dragon Boat paddlers the best in the world Tom Berridge

A local Dragon Boat club with a strong Burnaby connection is goldrich following a big medal haul at the ninth International Dragon Boat Federation club crew world championships in Ravenna, Italy last weekend. The Dragon Zone One West boat, including Burnaby/New Westminster paddlers Andrew Sugianto, Anthony Cao, Benson Nguyen, Carmen Tam, Carol Leung, Cherry Chen, Derek Tam, Joe Ku, Paige Misfeldt, Shane Beaton and honorary member J.Z. Lee, who was unable to attend due to visa restrictions, won four medals at the worlds, including a pair of gold medals in mixed and women’s race finals at the 200-metre distance. One West placed first in the premier 10-women small boat grand final, edging out runner-up All Sports from Hannover, Germany by half a second with a winning time

of 55.001. Dragon Zone’s premier mixed team also won the 20-person standard boat grand final over Hannover in a time of 44.041 in a tight twoboat race to the wire that was settled by less than one-tenth of a second. At the longer 500m distance, the One West women’s and mixed teams finished runners-up to the German All Sports team in the premier women’s small boat and mixed standard boat grand finals. Both 500m finals were equally close with Hannover winning both race finals by approximatley one second or less. In the premier mixed division, a New Dragons Racing Club team from Toronto placed third behind Dragon Zone by almost two seconds. “Going into the club crew world championships in Ravenna we had no idea what to expect, especially for women’s small dragon boat, an

event we entered into halfway during the season and had never even competed in locally,” said Misfeldt in an email from Europe. “I have to give props to our coach, Rob Magus, for the amount of work he put into designTo ing a training program taistream lored specifically for (the a video, worlds).” scan The purpose of all the with rigorous two-hour gym Layar workouts and rainy outrigger canoe sessions done in practice became clear to the Dragon Zone crew as they worked their way through the heats. “I am so proud of my teammates for pushing themselves though the gruelling process and constantly supporting each other along the way,” Misfeldt said. “When you dragon boat, you don’t just join a team, you join a family, and to have all our hard work pay off on an international level just means the world to me – one team. One West.”

SPORTING NAMES IN THE NEWS Riverway Golf Club pro Salimah Mussani scored her first provincial title at the Professional Golfers Association of B.C. women’s championships. The former Canadian PGA titlist fired back-to-back birdies on the final two holes to defeat first-round leader Ashley Zibrik by a pair of strokes at the Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club on Tuesday. Mussani carded a 36-hole total of 150 following her second consecutive round of 75 on the par-72 South Surrey course. Mussani began the final round two shots behind 2012 champion Zibrik from Shaugnessy Golf and Country Club, but took the lead after the front nine with a one-over 39. However, the lead did not stand up and the former two-time junior national champion needed birdies on both the 17th and 18th holes to capture her first PGA of B.C. women’s championship. “It’s been a while since I competed – I missed it,” said Mussani in a PGA of B.C. press release. “It felt good to get out there,

and great to get the win.” Another former champion Patty Jonas of host Hazelmere finished seven shots back at 157. Mussani, a former Burlington, Ont. golfer, won a CPGA women’s national title in 2007.
