Pumped up for pumpkins
Fall fling:

Kids at South Slope Elementary and the B.C. School for the Deaf (BCSD) took home pumpkins from their very own temporary patch Tuesday, thanks to a pair of enthusiastic parent organizers. Chris and Daniella Revitt, whose three daughters attend South Slope, organized a full-on fall festival on the school’s allweather playing field, complete with scarecrows, hay bales, hot chocolate, popcorn, music, bubble machines and 350 pumpkins dotted across the field. The Halloween celebration was made possible with about $1,000 in grants from South Burnaby Neighbourhood House and a few South Burnaby Vancity branches that pitched in. One reason for bringing the patch to the school was accessibility, according to Chris Revitt “There’s a lot of kids with disabilities and in wheelchairs,” he said, “and we’ve taken our own kids to pumpkin patches, and you know it’s just a mud fest. So they

would never access that.” South Slope and BCSD principal Janice Nakatsu said parent involvement is
always a boon to schools. “It’s very nice having parents on board to organize the majority of the event,” she
said. “When there’s buy-in from parents, it’s just a bigger and better event. It was a lot of fun.”
Pipeline foes clash with Kinder Morgan Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
It was a tense Wednesday morning on Burnaby Mountain, as protesters faced off with Kinder Morgan work crews hoping to resume survey work for a new pipeline route through the conservation area. A group of roughly 40 peaceful protesters stood waiting on Centennial Way, ready to block the company’s work crews, while numerous media outlets and Burnaby RCMP stood by.
Kinder Morgan crews turned up at a clearing in the woods where the company wants to drill for soil samples. Protesters were already set up there, and more converged when word spread that Kinder Morgan was on the scene. “I’m a little bit surprised they showed up. They knew there was a lot of people here,” said Stephen Collis, an SFU professor and spokesperson for the protesters. “They are still forcing their way in. It’s the ultimate act of arrogance.” The Kinder Morgan workers were
accompanied by security, and it appeared some were either filming or taking photos. They parked on Pandora Street and approached from below, avoiding the group uphill on Centennial Way, and delivered a notice stating the company is authorized by the National Energy Board and the Federal Court of Canada to conduct work on the land. The protesters shouted – some using abusive language – before the workers left. Some protesters followed them out of the woods, and according to Kinder Morgan’s Greg Toth,
set up on Pandora Street. “One of them climbed on our vehicle and blocked our vehicle,” Toth said, apologizing to local residents for the disruption. The protester in question chained himself to the underside of the vehicle. Toth said the company is going to reassess what the next steps are, but he was not surprised by today’s events. “The protesters have been fairly forthcoming with their plans that they are Kinder Morgan Page 8

There’s still no clear understanding between the Burnaby fire department and Kinder Morgan as to who would respond to a major petroleum fire at the tank farm and Westridge Marine Terminal. The National Energy Board recently ruled Kinder Morgan must release its emergency management program for the Trans Mountain pipeline, even though the company wanted to keep it secret for proprietary reasons. The board gave Kinder Morgan an Oct. 17 deadline to release the plan, and while deputy fire chief Chris Bowcock has seen it, the information hasn’t changed his concerns about the tank farm, and there’s still no clear agreement as to who would actually handle a major oil fire. “It’s a very generic plan. There are no specific details. There are some inaccuracies in the plan. We have some concerns about the content of that plan,” Bowcock told the NOW. The inaccuracies, according to Bowcock, are in the section that deals with how the tank farm and the Westridge Marine Terminal will manage a fire. “They direct their personnel not to apply any firefighting against or conduct any firefighting operations unless directed by the fire department,” Bowcock said. “We have a problem with that, in that Kinder Morgan is required to be the primary fire protection responder (at) that facility, and in the emergency response plan, they direct their people to take no action unless directed by the fire department.” Bowcock says the fire department has had conversations about
Mountain tank farm in the spring. Bowcock has been raising concerns about fire safety at the facility, and the release of Kinder Morgan’s most recent emergency management plan has not quelled his criticism. the matter with Kinder Morgan, but nothing has been resolved. “We’ve expressed explicitly that we will not absolve them of their primary firefighting duties except with buildings (such as the control room or office),” Bowcock said. “They need hydrocarbon fire fighting capability, because the City of Burnaby does not provide that through the fire department. … It’s been clearly stated to Kinder Morgan that’s their responsibility.” If a major fire broke out at either the Burnaby Mountain tank farm or Westridge terminal, Bowcock expects Kinder Morgan to deal
with it, while Kinder Morgan is counting on the fire department. “Our expectation is Kinder Morgan – either themselves or through a mutual aid agreement with other hydrocarbon facilities – they would provide the required fire response to control the emergency on the interior of the fence line,” he said. The NOW requested a copy of the plan, but Bowcock couldn’t provide one. Furthermore, Bowcock said Kinder Morgan needs a fire protection plan, which deals with the specifics on how to handle a fire. (The emergency response plan
deals with the management side of responding to an event, while the fire protection plan outlines how Kinder Morgan will actually handle the fire fighting.) “As we understand, Kinder Morgan doesn’t currently have, but is working on, a fire protection plan for its facility. We would expect that to be in place currently, and we have indicated by letter because those specific plans are not in place that they are in contravention of the city’s fire protection plan,” he said. Calls to the Trans Mountain expansion project media line were also not returned by press time.

POLL SAYS 63 PER CENT SUPPORT FREE GOLF
Did city officials plump free golf online poll? Email asks people to vote ‘yes’ for free golf on online poll Jacob Zinn staff reporter
An email circulating through Burnaby city hall implicates city officials in an effort to skew the results of an online poll about whether or not the city should reward city officials and volunteers with free golf passes. The email, apparently started by Coun. Colleen Jordan, is in response to an online column in 24 hours – a daily commuter newspaper – about the nearly $42,000 worth of golf played by city officials last year, with a poll at the end asking readers to vote yay or nay for free golf. As of press
time, the poll was 63 per cent in favour of free golf, with 484 votes to 290. “OK, so the golf thing hasn’t quite gone away,” wrote Jordan in an email dated Oct. 18, 2014, who racked up $4674.20 between Riverway and Burnaby Mountain in 2013. “24 had this editorial with a poll, should politicians get free golf? Guess what, yes they should is winning. Vote now!” The email chain also has comments from parks commissioner Wayne Peppard – who spent the most last year on golf at $7,898.24 – as well as Coun. Paul McDonell and Burnaby Citizens Association school board candidate Katrina Chen. “My husband saw this and got around 60-70 people to vote. Keep going!” wrote Chen. “Yes, pulling ahead. Keep it going,”
president Gord Larkin, parks commissioner Lee Loftus ($2,677.89) and Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian. Independent mayoral candidate Allen Hutton is also on the list. However, Jordan said she only sent it to her colleagues, though she did not specify who those recipients were. “Somebody else could’ve forwarded my email to somebody else. I just sent it to my colleagues,” she said. “Just my personal list, which is personal.” To see the full email, go to www.burnabynow.com
added Peppard. Coun. McDonell, whose 2013 golf season cost taxpayers $2,633.40, simply wrote, “Vote yes.” Reached by phone Thursday morning, Coun. Jordan confirmed the email’s existence, but said she didn’t remember if she started it. “I guess I was telling people they should vote,” she said. “I just said, ‘People, this is going on. Vote, say what you think,’ because a lot of people think it’s blown of proportion.” The email was sent to all COLLEEN JORDAN city councillors and school Burnaby councillor trustees, along with BCA

A plan to build up to 12 new childcare facilities on Burnaby school district lands got the school board’s stamp of approval Tuesday. At a regular public meeting, trustees unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement with the City of Burnaby that will see the municipality fund construction of the new centres while the district supplies the land and manages the operation of the facilities by non-profit child-care providers. With school-board approval, work on the first facility is expected to begin in 2015. The plan will add up to 500 childcare spaces to the district’s existing 777 spaces at 21 centres across the district. The city already operates five child-care centres with a total of 232 spaces. Over the coming years, the city will place the centres in modular buildings on school lands without any cost to the school district, according to a report at Tuesday’s meeting. Trustee Larry Hayes called the plan a “real win-win for the community and all involved.” Trustees Harman Pandher agreed, lauding the partnership between the board and city hall. “It’s a relationship that will open up to 12 much-needed child-care sites

Lack of tank farm agreement unacceptable

It’s shocking to us that there is no While there are safety measures in clear plan as to who would place at the facility, Kinder deal with a crisis like this. Morgan has told us they Burnaby NOW The fact these two parties would call on the fire departdon’t have an agreement as ment, even though Deputy to who would actually fight the fire is Fire Chief Chris Bowcock has been adamant that it’s the company’s respon- just mind-blowing. Meanwhile, each is accusing the other of dropping the ball sibility to fight its own fires.
OUR VIEW
on this. The tank farm has been in place since the 1950s without any major fires, but a track record of no incidents is no substitute for a plan to deal with emergencies. Bowcock claims there are no detailed plans about how Kinder Morgan would handle a major fire, while the company claims the fire department won’t meet with them. Pick up the phone, people! We’re not trying to stir up alarm. But the reality is there’s a clear discon-
nect between Kinder Morgan and the Burnaby Fire Department, and that’s completely unacceptable. Obviously this working relationship is fraught with tension, but one of these parties has got to reach out and resolve this. There are 1.6 million barrels of crude at the storage facility on Burnaby Mountain, and if the expansion is approved, there will be 5.6 million. We hope Kinder Morgan and the fire department work this out before a disaster hits.
Here’s who I’m voting for IN MY OPINION
I
Julie MacLellan
n my mind, there are very few decisions I can make that are more important, and that will have more impact on my day-to-day life, than the names I mark my “x” beside on Nov. 15. For candidates who may be wondering, I came up with this guide to how to win my vote. First, some background about who I am and where I’m coming from. I’m 44 years old, married with a small daughter. I tend to lean left, with a sometimes contradictory libertarian streak that says government should just plain butt out of certain issues. I believe in public support for the arts, both in schools and in the community, because the arts are fundamental to our experience as human beings and to our existence as a society. I believe my tax dollars should be spent on the essentials – not just infrastructure and utilities, but parks, playgrounds, sports fields, theatres, art galleries, greenways, cycling paths, because all of those things are an integral part of the fabric of society.
I believe in development. Development that is planned properly and executed sustainably is crucial to our future. I believe in building a greener world. I believe municipalities have a key role to play in the future of the planet, from helping residents reduce waste to providing options that encourage us to leave our cars at home. I believe that civic governments and school boards are critical players in the area broadly known as “social services” – in combating hunger, poverty, domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, isolation and exclusion of all kinds. But you know what? I don’t want a council that thinks exactly like me. Tempting as it is to consider what a utopia we could create if only everyone were just like me, the reality is that I want a council and a school board that represent a variety of lifestyles and philosophies. I want a bleeding heart, someone who operates from a place of compassion and empathy for the downtrodden, who exists to create a better and more equal world for all. I want a dreamer, a visionary who’s willing to say, “Hey, here’s a crazy idea, let’s ____” – and then fills in the blank with a plan so insanely ambitious that a lesser mortal would never have dared to give it voice. I want someone hard-headed Voting Page 7
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t drink corporate Kool-Aid Dear Editor:
Re: Businesses pay majority of taxes, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 24. In reporting on the recent studies by the Fraser Institute and the Canadian Federation of Small Business on municipal taxation and spending, Jacob Zinn doesn’t question (by seeking an opposing view, for example) the conclusions of either organization. Rather, he has simply accepted the basic premise of the two corporate-funded organizations, – that business is being unfairly taxed – and pretty well adhered to the scripts-cum-news releases written by the two organizations. For example, Zinn leads off with the observation that “the Fraser Institute found that 52 per
cent of Burnaby’s property tax revenue comes from business – the highest of all municipalities in the study.” Sounds bad, doesn’t it? Yet, from all accounts, businesses in Burnaby are doing just fine. There is no mass exodus occurring, much less a shuttering of store windows. So, why follow the lead of the Fraser without question and write it as bad news? Why not write it as good news? With just a few minor changes to those words the story not only could have been different, but upbeat as well: “the Fraser Institute found that 48 per cent of Burnaby’s property tax revenue comes from homeowners – the lowest of all municipalities in the study”. Zinn, however, seems to adhere to the journalistic imperative that bad news is good news. And

in pursuit of this principle, the latter part of his article is pretty well turned over to unchallenged self-interest quotes of the CFIB about the business tax rate, and the throwing in of a highly prejudicial remark that “businesses are getting shafted.” Again, he makes no effort to present a contrary, much less a challenging, viewpoint. As such, Zinn does himself as well as NOW readers a great disservice. Bill Brassington, Burnaby
Resident’s plight shows effects of high-density city Dear Editor:
Re: Burnaby’s wake-up call, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 24. Vic Blancard has issued a wake-up call to the people of Burnaby who are bullied and threatened by loss of view and high property taxes. It all arises from the same old problem of high-density housing. Remember when Central Park was the only forest in South Burnaby? Now it’s a forest of apartment towers. Everyone who wants to stay in their own one- or two-storey single detached home is now a potential victim of the monetary greed of developers, real estate agents and our city council. They do no good for anyone who wishes to raise a family in this community and to contribute to its success. Blame the aforementioned the next time you’re stuck in traffic, going nowhere. Blame them for big increases in garbage generated, electricity used and increased smog. Never should we let a government messenger lay a guilt trip on us about making smaller footprints. You can make as small a footprint as you like. That just gives the aforementioned a little more space to add more small footprints, which all add up to
one big one. A failure on the part of Vic Blancard is a failure for us all, for everyone who wants to live in a single detached home with a family and maybe a view of the mountains. Vic said this Monday would be his last time at a council meeting. But I’m betting he’ll be back so long as he can still get there. Jim Ervin, Burnaby
Corrigan and team have been good for Burnaby Dear Editor:
This must be very trying times for any political party running against Derek Corrigan (BCA) and his team of councillors and trustees. Not only is Burnaby rated one of the best-managed cities in all of Canada, but also has become an example of how to achieve the fine balance of providing a favorable tax regime that encourages businesses to invest in our city while providing all the necessary services to address the needs of those less fortunate. I defy anyone to list even one other local municipality that has done a better job. In just the last week alone, the ultraright-wing Fraser Institute has listed Burnaby as having the third lowest rate of taxation out of 17 local municipalities. I also attended the grand opening of the brand new headquarters for the Burnaby Neigbourhood House, in the city-leased part of the new 46-storey tower that was recently built in Metrotown. Thousands of Burnaby residents will benefit from the many excellent programs and services the Burnaby Neighbourhood House has, to make all Burnaby neighbourhoods better places to live. In the meantime, all I seem to hear from the opposition is petty rants and no real vision on how they could possibly do a better job. Dave Myles, Burnaby
and practical – the voice of reason who can look across the table at the bleeding heart and the dreamer and say, “That’s great, guys, but let’s get real here. How are we going to make this work for the taxpayers?” I want someone who represents those who are under-represented – whose background and life experience give them a genuine understanding of what it’s like to not be part of the white, straight, middle-aged, middle-class male experience. I want a troublemaker. The one who’s willing to stir the pot, to poke the hornet’s nest, to play devil’s advocate and prevent their counterparts from becoming settled and complacent. I want a peacemaker.
The one who listens without judgement, who hears from all sides before making a decision, who finds the middle ground when the debate is becoming polarized, who understands the value of cooperation and compromise. You may be one of those things. You may be a few of those things. You may even be none of those things, and I might still vote for you. Because the real musthaves are just these: I want a candidate with integrity. I want one who tells the truth, for better or for worse. I’d rather you disappoint me honestly than mislead me with what you think I want to hear. I want one who accepts their own fallibility. You are human. You will make mistakes. Just know how

to apologize, to clean up the mess you made when you can, and learn from that mistake so you can go on to make a new one the next time. And, above all, I want someone who cares. Whether you’re relatively new to the area or whether your family roots go back generations, I want to know that the city you’re running in matters to you. That you’re involved in it, that you’re working to make it better, that you want to do your best for it and for all its residents – whether they voted for you or not.

The City of Burnaby is getting all grubby again Cayley Dobie staff reporter
Burnaby residents fed up with raccoons, crows and skunks feasting on the European chafer grubs in their lawns could be getting some help from the city next spring. Linda Cappelletti, the North Burnaby resident featured in the NOW’s first story on the problem of raccoons tearing up lawns to eat the European chafer beetle grubs living underground (see “Raccoons feast on her grubby lawn” at www.burnabynow.com), recently spoke with a city staffer in the environment department who told her Burnaby was working on a solution to be tabled as part of the 2015 budget in April. Coun. Dan Johnston confirmed this with the NOW and added the city is aware of the damage the infestation of European chafer
grubs is causing to lawns and city property across Burnaby. “There are actually pockets of the city where they seem to have come back, and unfortunately it’s going to take another application of nematodes,” he said. By the time the problem reached its height in 2004, the City of Burnaby was employing a city-wide nematode program. In a letter to the NOW, Johnston wrote that more than 19,000 square metres of city land were treated for European chafer beetles using nematodes. The program also offered residents nematodes for purchase at a subsidized price to rid their own lawns of the pesky grubs. It has been about five years since the city has run such a program. “The last time we had a supply at Burnaby City Hall, and the day they were made available there was lineup that was going
through the parking because people wanted to go in and get them,” he said. Nematodes are roundworms that eat the European chafer grubs allowing homeowners and the city to deal with the problem in an organic way rather than using pesticides, which would contradict Burnaby’s pesticide use control bylaw. “It controlled it quite a bit. I mean, it’s like any other infestation, some people treat it and some people don’t, and those that don’t make it a little harder for those that do,” Johnston said. “It’s a pretty organic way to treat it. It’s not like using pesticides.” But any homeowners hoping for a solution to the problem right now are out of luck. Nematode application is best done in July and August when the eggs have hatched and the grubs are most vulnerable, according to the city’s

going to be obstructing us and taking steps to do that, so it isn’t a surprise to us. It’s unfortunate,” he said. Toth also pointed out that the reason Kinder Morgan is exploring the Burnaby Mountain route is to avoid the residential Westridge area, where the line would have to cross private property. Also, if Kinder Morgan can run the pipeline through the mountain route, the company will decommission the current Westridge pipeline and run that through the conservation area as well. “We have a route option we are trying to pursue from the standpoint of minimizing disruption, and at the same time (the Burnaby Mountain route is) causing quite a large disruption,” he said. Toth said the crews were on Burnaby Mountain to set up safety zones at bore hole 1 and 2, as well as Barnet Marine Park. “The number 1 priority is the safety of our crews,” Toth said. “With all the protesters and that, we didn’t feel it would be safe to be up on the mountain.” Kinder Morgan needs to complete multiple studies – environmental, archeological and geotechnical – to submit information to the National Energy Board, because the Burnaby Mountain routing option was not part of the original pipeline expansion application. In previous interviews with
the NOW, the company has also indicated it may abandon the mountain route and go back to Westridge if work is significantly delayed. As for the protesters, they are also planning their next moves. Collis said there is a large meeting scheduled for Wednesday night to talk with lawyers about legal strategies. The protesters are a mix of SFU professors, random Vancouver and Burnaby residents, members of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion and an ad-hoc group called the Caretakers. They’ve been taking turns keeping an eye on the conservation area for weeks, but since Kinder Morgan issued the required 48-hour notice to the City of Burnaby, Collis said they’ve increased their numbers. “We are on public land. There’s no court order banning anyone from being on this land, so we just plan to be in the space they want to work in, to make that work unrealistic, so they can’t do it,” Collis said. Police maintained a presence on the mountain Wednesday morning. “We are impartial, and we are simply here to monitor the situation,” said Staff Sgt. Andy LeClair. “We have three police officers here, and this is a public gathering. That’s where we are at.” Kinder Morgan has an order from the

Teachers’ union backs Burnaby Citizens again Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
Burnaby Citizens Association trustee candidates gained a formidable ally this week, after the local teachers’ union voted to endorse the civic party’s entire school board slate. “It is important to Burnaby teachers that our trustees are advocates for a properly funded, inclusive public education for every student,” teachers’ association president Rae Figursky told the NOW. She said staff reps voted at a meeting Tuesday to endorse incumbent trustees Ron Burton, Meiling Chia, Larry Hayes, Baljinder Narang, Harman Pandher and Gary Wong, along with first-time BCA candidate Katrina Chen, for the seven school board seats. “These are people who are clear in everything they’ve said that they want to work with us,” Figursky said. This is the second time the union has thrown its support behind the BCA. In 2011, Figursky said the union saw clear differences between the BCA, which has dominated both the school board and city council exclusively since 2008 and held a majority on both since 1987, and Burnaby Parents’ Voice. The latter party had grown out of an adhoc group opposed to the school board’s 2011 anti-homophobia policy. “We saw that there were huge advantages to certain candidates and potential
disadvantages to others who were running,” Figursky said of the union’s 2011 endorsement of the BCA. The Burnaby First Coalition, a new civic party looking to unseat the BCA on Nov. 15, includes several former members of Parents’ Voice, including trustee candidate Heather Leung. But Figursky said neither the school board’s anti-homophobia policy nor Burnaby Parents’ Voice was specifically mentioned during the meeting Tuesday. “It was not a specific issue,” she said. “But do people recognize people’s names from what they’ve run for before? Yes.” Figursky was quick to add that not all Burnaby First candidates opposed the antihomophobia policy. She said another important factor in her union’s endorsement was candidates’ views on education funding. “We want trustees who will be fighting for increased government funding,” Figursky said. “Some of the answers we had back from the other candidates was that they would look for other sources of funding. It always makes me nervous when private companies are funding public schools.” She said the teachers’ union will now be mailing, phoning and knocking on doors until Nov. 15 to encourage local residents to vote.

on hand to pose in a group photo after the agreement was signed. Asked about the timing of the announcement in the middle of an election campaign in which all the trustees and councilors on hand were also BCA candidates, school board chair Baljinder Narang said it was just a good-news story the board wanted to tell. “For optics it looks like it’s related to this, but, you know, in fairness, we have been working on this for two years,” she said. “Are we doing this for the campaign? We’re saying we’re conducting school business. Yes, timing is great, but that’s when it’s come to a conclusion.” Although Narang was unclear how Chen was involved in the agreement as a parks and rec commissioner, the board chair said it was protocol to recognize any commissioner at a civic event. “If other commissioners had decided to attend, they would have come up as well,” Narang said.

Council not thrilled with ridesharing service Burnaby raising questions about Uber expanding into Canada Jacob Zinn staff reporter
If you’ve been waiting for ridesharing to come to Burnaby, prepare to wait some more. On Monday, Burnaby city council received a report from staff about San Francisco-based ridesharing company Uber and its intentions to expand into Canada. Uber allows drivers and prospective passengers to connect via a smartphone app, with the passenger paying for driving ser-
vices and the company taking a cut of the fare. While Uber operates in more than 40 countries, the report illustrated the city’s apprehension to implementing ridesharing, calling it an “unlicensed and unregulated ‘taxi service.’” “Wherever they’ve started, they’ve always been greeted with controversy,” said Coun. Pietro Calendino. “In the city of Toronto, for example, they believe that UberX, which is the taxi part of their service, contravenes city bylaws. “Their drivers do not hold city-issued licences, haven’t taken city-mandated training, have not put their cars through a citymandated mechanical inspec-

It’s that time of year again, when men around the world start growing hairy ‘staches in the name of cancer research. Burnaby’s fuzz got an early jump on the annual Movember cancer awareness campaign, which officially kicks off Nov. 1, by hosting a staff barbecue for Burnaby RCMP on Tuesday. The lunchtime event raised $250 for the Movember Foundation. The foundation, which has a branch in Canada, aims to get people talking about men’s health, particularly prostate and testicular cancer in an “innovative, fun and engaging” way. The annual event asks men around the world to grow their ‘staches for 30 days through the month of November and raise money for cancer research. More than 23,600 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada this year, and 4,000 men will die from the disease, according to the Movember Foundation. While not as many men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in a year (about 1,000), it is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 29 years.

to the idea of having this system in place in Burnaby and losing what I think is the credibility and reliability of taxi service,” he said. “It would take enough money away from the taxi industry that the taxi industry would be hurt, and then you wouldn’t have enough cars to provide the regular service.” Council ultimately voted to refer the issue to the executive committee for further comment. “I think we need to look at this a little more closely and ensure that, if this is to establish in our neighbourhood, that it operates legally and with safe vehicles,” said Calendino.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER BRAD ALDEN LOOKS BACK ON A STORIED CAREER IN A TUMULTUOUS INDUSTRY
‘Without trust, a newspaper has nothing’ Brad Alden, publisher of The Burnaby NOW, and its sister paper, The Record, is retiring this week after 21 years of leadership in both the city of Burnaby and the newspaper industry. Editor Pat Tracy asked him to look back and share his thoughts before riding his Harley into the sunset. Q: As a newspaper publisher for more than 20 years, you’ve had a unique view of the community. What do you want readers to know about that role?
the invention of the printing press and the resultant profession of journalists, editors and publishers who with minor exception unilaterally pushed down what and how you would read the news, to today and full circle again with blogs and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter allowing an instantaneous version of what used to require people venturing together to the town hall or pub to discuss. Now this can be accomplished though keystrokes on a computer or smartphone. This is having a dramatic effect on the newspaper business, and its acceptance and integration to what we are and are becoming has been another fabulous learning opportunity and had developed into another highlight.
A: It’s the best job in town; there is not another role in the community that allows a person greater ability to get to personQ: Newspapers are in a rapidly changing ally know the townspeople.

Without trust, a newspaper and information specific to one town has nothing. Finding that line that allows if they are doing it well. No one else in the reader the most enlightening and the news and information business does timely information while not betraying what we do. It is very seldom a source or inappropriately you will see a reporter from taking advantage of inside “No one else in another media type where knowledge is difficult and not we regularly go to source the news and for the faint of heart.

munity newspapers to become even more vital to the communities we serve. Q: A newspaper publisher is not just a business leader, but also a community leader. If there is one quality that you think is indispensable in a good business leader who is active in the community, what would that be? A: The notion that community service is all-important. Frankly there is nothing more important for a business leader outside of one’s direct business responsibilities than to give back and help build a healthy place for all residents to work, live and enjoy. If we are not invested in this, who will be and why should they be if we are not? Q: As publisher of Burnaby NOW, you’ve been a champion of many causes in this city, many of them helping people who have hit tough times in their lives. Do you think this is part of a newspaper’s responsibility? A: I’m not sure, but I’ve chosen to see it as a legitimate offshoot of what I do professionally. In order to be a great community newspaper, it has to be fully engaged with and reflective of the community. Not just the healthy, progressive and successful components of the community but also the parts that can use a hand in favourable development. I’ve tried to be helpful in both arenas
and certainly have unleashed the resources of the newspaper in efforts to help too. It seemed the right thing to do. Q: You’ve said you’ve learned many things from people in the community and people in the newspaper industry. What is the biggest lesson of your career? A: There are actually two guiding principles I’ve followed in the last 30 years or so. The first is: constancy of purpose. Completely understand, precisely as you can, why you are there and what it is you are to achieve and then attach an undyingly disciplined focus to its achievement. The second is: it is in team building and collaboration that sustainable business success is created. The right idea, the concept and the direction is necessary but only the start. Getting your people to do the things that you want and need them to do because they desire to do them may be the most important objective in achieving long-term business success. Q: Your role has changed over the decades, from publisher of a single newspaper to publisher of two newspapers and most recently, regional publisher of three newspapers? How do you juggle so many roles, and how do you determine what is a priority in your job? Brad Alden Page 14

Brad Alden: ‘There are great stories to find and tell’ continued from page 11
A: I’d like to say I’ve mastered it, but I haven’t. In the last couple of years there has been only the very odd day that I’ve felt my work was satisfactorily complete at the end of the day. But, I start with a daily review and becoming certain of what exactly my role must be that day and what are the tasks I must accomplish to operate successful businesses. It’s a combination of a strategic thought process and a to-do list. Business and stakeholder relationships and effective communication with my direct reports are 1 and 1a. But this is a multi-faceted business, all phases of which require constant attention. If our business relationships are tight and the department heads are on point with the delegation strong and responsible, then we’re moving down the right track and I can extend to priorities two through ten. Q: You are known as a boss who stays calm in the midst of stormy times. Where did you learn this from, your parents? A: I was one of the fortunate ones who had great parents that were loving and took their parenting roles responsibly. I owe much, if not most, of who I am to them, and certainly that includes some of my calm demeanour in the face of crisis. I might have been born with some of it; growing up and going to university in California in the ‘60’s didn’t hurt – there’s a bit of “the Dude” in me – and somewhere along the way I learned that no matter how bleak the current circumstances are, the sun will come up tomorrow and having a clear head and being analytical in a crisis effectively trumps hysteria, blaming or wringing your hands.
be had. Thankfully, I have had a mostly successful career, and when I look back at the forks that were in my road I have almost no regrets in which ones I chose, but I do wish I’d developed two tendencies earlier in my career that remain weaknesses and which I still work on to this day. Firstly, I wish I were more nimble in my decisionmaking. I analyze, search the 360 degrees of a situation and ponder many situations too much. This does come from a proper motivation, wanting to be certain the right decision is taken, but there are there are times when simply making any rational decision is the better choice for that moment. The second – and it has relationship to the first – is that “you got to know when to fold ‘em,” as the lyric goes. Being ever the optimist comes with a price, and in business the most costly one is that situations do not always improve regardless of the best thought, intention or actions. It’s always been hard for me to cut my losses and move on to the next objective. Q: What advice would you give the new publisher? A: This is a wonderful market and a wonderful town. There are great stories to find and tell and fabulous agencies, associations, people and businesses to develop relationships with. You will almost never be disappointed in them. Treat them fairly and as you would want to be treated. You are privileged to be in this role, live it as such.
Q: What are you looking forward to in retirement? A: I don’t have grandiose goals for retirement. We are going to meet as a family next May in Italy, so that certainly absorbs some thought. I hope to rejuvenate my love of river fishing. I have what I think to be about a year’s worth of projects around the house I haven’t gotten to. I have a great family and a great life and I tell people I am just going to live my life and not go to the office every day. As someone wrote to me: no more Mondays. I have a couple of successful and entrepreneurial children who have asked me to lend a hand in an informal capacity. If a project comes my way that catches my interest, I certainly will consider it. But retirement beckons. It’s time.
ALDEN’S HONOURS ! Canadian Community Newspaper Association President’s Quill, twice. Given for distinguished service to the Newspaper Industry as a director from 2004-2010 and service from 2011 to 2013. ◆ Silver Quill award, 2014, for 25 years of distinguished service to the newspaper industry. ◆ Business person of the year in Burnaby, 2005. Awarded to a business person who has made significant contributions to their industry. ◆ Honorary lifetime membership from the BBOT making him the first and only volunteer to receive the tribute membership.
Q: What are you personally most proud of during your career with the Burnaby NOW? A: Burnaby NOW was still in its infancy when I joined it. It was a baby; a blank canvas. We were able to turn it into a thriving business, a market leader, a force for good in our community and a terrific and award-winning community newspaper. The paper has made lots of friends in the intervening 21 years, done lots of good, reported the news fairly, and provided increasingly timely and important information to our citizens in increasing volumes and now by the most current media streams beyond newsprint. Through snowstorms and power outages, we’ve never missed an edition or delivery day. And we provide our advertising clients absolutely great bang for their buck and unquestioningly favourable results. Basically I am proud of being a newspaper publisher and doing what they do as well as I knew how. Q: If there was one thing you would have done differently in your career, during or before the Burnaby NOW, what would that be? A: It’s hard to nail it down to one. I have made mistakes and wished for do-overs when there were none to

Dance into the world of magic realism Shadbolt Centre kicks off dance series in November It’s billed as an “investigation into the themes of devotion, ritual and myth,” and it’s coming to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. The Shadbolt Centre is kicking off its 2014/15 Sole Series with the first dance performance of the season: Camino Al Tepeyac. The performance has been created by Salomé Nieto, who ventures into the magic realism of her own Mexican culture.
A press release notes that she uses religious iconography, beliefs and traditions as inspiration for the work, with Camino Al Tepeyac becoming a metaphor for the convergence of two religious beliefs in one female deity. The Mexicans called her Tonantzin – and, after the conquest, her name became the Virgin of Guadalupe, and the mother of the Mexican people in the Catholic faith. The production is onstage Nov. 19 to 22, with shows nightly at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $15 to $35. Call 604-205-3000 or see tickets.shadboltcentre.com to buy.

Love and conflict take centre stage LIVELY CITY
T
Julie MacLellan
wo Burnaby actors are onstage in a production billed as a night of “urban tales of love and conflict.” Douglas College students are presenting Subsequent Conversations, a night of one-act plays, running from tonight (Friday, Oct. 31) to Nov. 7 in the studio theatre at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. The night features five works written by awardwinning American playwright Neil LaBute: Bench Seat, Land of the Dead, A Guy Walks Into a Bar, Merge and The Shape of Things. Each story is self-contained, but they all examine relationships and conflicts between men and women living in urban North America. “We are excited to present this unique collection of Neil LaBute’s one-act
plays,” said director Cheryl Swan in a press release. “I carefully selected works from his repertoire that I hope will challenge our theatre students and engage our audience. With this production you can expect complex characters, a darkly comedic sensibility and definitely some surprises.” The cast includes Burnaby residents Morgan Lianne Oehlschlager and Levi Williams, along with Thomas Halkes, Jessica Kabesh, David Sitar, Ben Groberman, Kaleigh Skye Almond McDonald, Elise Wilson, Jackson Boudreau, Mikayla Hart and Sarah Mendoza. Tickets are $8 to $12, available through tickets nw.ca or 604-521-5050.
Diversity in art
The Burnaby Arts Council is celebrating diversity in its next exhibition. The new exhibition Discovery: a slice of diversity runs Nov. 8 to 29 at the arts council’s Deer Lake Gallery. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Nov. 8
from 2 to 4 p.m. The exhibition, curated by Taslim Samji, includes the work of six professional and emerging female Ismaili Muslim artists who migrated to Canada from their birthplace of East Africa, with cultural roots from India and surrounding countries. “Even within such a defined group of artists, the forms of expression and concepts explored in the pieces widely vary,” a press release notes. The work on exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, installations, mixed media and literary works. “The closer we look within a visible minority group, such as the Muslim community, the more diversity we find there is to celebrate,” the release says. The Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. It’s open Tuesdays to Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. See www.burnaby artscouncil.org. Do you have an item for Lively City? Send arts and entertainment ideas to Julie, jmaclellan@burnabynow.com or find her on Twitter, @juliemaclellan.

Lifetime warranty? Look for holes CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: We just picked up a new Fiat 500C, and we were pondering the lifetime warranty. Before the car hits 10,000 miles, we have to decide whether to buy it. The cost is around $3,000. Is something like this worth it? We would like to keep the car for 10-15 years. Cheers! – Karl RAY: Generally speaking, extended warranties are not worth it. Why? Because if insurance companies didn’t take in more money from premiums – overall – than they spent on repairs, they would stop selling the things.
TOM: But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to you. Maybe you’re buying a car with unknown longterm reliability? Hint: You are. RAY: Or maybe you’re someone who sleeps better knowing for certain that you’ll never get a call from the service manager telling you that the estimate for your new engine is $6,400. TOM: But there are two variables to consider. The most important is the fine print. RAY: What does this “lifetime warranty” actually cover? Is it a complete extension of the factory warranty? Is it just the powertrain? Does it cover body hardware and electrical issues? What, specifically, is excluded? “Wear items,” like brakes and shocks? TOM: What’s the deductible? Are there conditions you have to meet to keep the warranty in force? For instance, do you have to
get your car serviced regularly at the dealership? Do you have to keep written records of all of your services and oil changes? RAY: If you don’t feel capable of doing a “close read” of the warranty’s fine print by yourself, then it’s worth paying an independent mechanic you trust to read it and go over it with you. You want to know what is and isn’t covered. Your mechanic also can talk to you about how often he sees the kinds of repairs that are covered, and how often he sees those that aren’t. TOM: Once you know what kind of warranty you’re actually buying, then you can try to guess the likelihood that you’ll spend $3,000 on those kinds of repairs in the years that you own your car. RAY: Also keep in mind that the price of the warranty is negotiable. Like
most “parts,” an extended warranty is bought by the dealer at one price, and sold to you at a higher price – sometimes double. So you often can negotiate a lower price. TOM: But don’t do anything until you understand what the warranty actually covers. It may be a great warranty, with a low deductible and very few exclusions or requirements. And it may help you sleep well for the next 15 years. RAY: Or it may have more holes in it than my brother’s favorite underwear. And you may decide you’re better off buying a second Fiat 500C and just driving whichever one is working on a given day. Good luck, Karl.

Trick-or-treat: Watch for trick-or-treaters Friday.
ICBC goblin alert ICBC is warning drivers to beware of little monsters and witches roaming local streets on Halloween night. On average, 120 people are injured in 83 crashes in B.C. during the holiday, according to data on the corporation’s website. Crashes involving pedestrians peak on Fridays, occurring most often between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. With Halloween falling on a Friday this year, ICBC is asking drivers,
trick-or-treaters and grown-up ghosts to take extra precautions on the roads. Drivers are asked to look for little ones in unexpected places, like driveways, alleys, parking lots and crossing the street in unexpected places.

Learning on the fly pays off at nats Tom Berridge sports editor
In traditional Japanese, fly fishing is known literally as “from heaven.” Winning B.C.’s secondever medal at the Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships, and first one in nearly a decade, was almost like a gift from above for Team Mustang captain Aaron Laing of New Westminster. “We were considered the dark horse, if you pardon the pun, but with a solid game plan and a great deal of research we were able to win against many of the local teams that included world champions and perennial favourites,” said Laing in a press release. “I knew what was required. I put all my ideas to the team and it worked. It also didn’t hurt that we had a couple of heavy hitters.” B.C. placed second in the team standings, while teammate Vance Whitley of Coquitlam won an individual silver medal at the 12th annual championships held at the Kenauk Nature reserve in southeastern Quebec on Oct. 19. The competition was held on five separate lakes inside the reserve over a six-day period. B.C. won a gold medal in 2005 in Campbell River. Unlike the image many people have of fly fishing, of a solitary angler waistdeep in water moving in zen-like slowness with every cast of his rod, competitive angling is hard work, said the 51-year-old Laing.
Giants off to best start

On the water: Competitive catch-and-release fly fishermen are ranked on total number of fish caught and length. How fish are released is also a factor in overall judging.
“You wouldn’t believe the physical strain on the body,” he said, adding casting every minute for a three-hour stretch twice a day is not for the unprepared. But it took more than stamina to net a silver medal for Team Mustang. Competitors are divided up between the various venues and fish against each other under equal conditions in morning and afternoon sessions. Rankings are decided by total fish caught and length. They are also judged on how much care
and attention is taken in releasing the fish. “Ideally, you want lots of small fish. It’s a numbers game,” Laing said. In a narrow three-hour window, decisions sometimes have to be made and quickly – Do I land the fish or not? The team aspect comes in when team members come together between sessions and compare daily logs on the water conditions, type of flies and weighted lines used, and the productivity of each, what others were using successfully as they transi-
tion to the other venues. “Team sport is the key,” Laing added. “You need a strong skill set from tying flies, both lake and river expertise and, above all, cooperation.” Laing did a lot of work pre-competition, mapping out the venues and making observations on the environment. Many of the bodies of water chosen in competitions are on less productive venues in an attempt to decrease the luck element as much as possible, among other factors. It’s part of the fun Laing
derives from the sport that only comes with the competition, he said. “You know, you go fishing and you’re out there with your buddies and you enjoy yourself. But how do you judge how well you’re doing?” Laing said. “I was shocked at how poorly I did when I compared myself to the pros. Competition provides that benchmark. Innovation also comes from competition.” That means making a comprehensive study of Fishing Page 33
Men moving up in Great NW soccer standings Tom Berridge sports editor
Simon Fraser University moved up in the standings in NCAA Division II Great Northwest conference men’s soccer. The Clan leapfrogged Montana State Billings into third place following two key conference wins on the road last week. The Clan started it off with a 10 upset victory over second-place Northwest Nazarene on Oct. 23. SFU backed up that up with a 3-1 win over Billing last Saturday. In Idaho, team captain Jovan Blagojevic scored a world class, game-winning goal, lofting a 35yard shot past the Nazarene keep-
er in the opening eight minutes of play. Clan keeper Brandon Watson came up big with two saves to preserve the win. “Tonight, the team showed the most character that I have seen from a team in a long, long time,” said Clan head coach Alan Koch in a press release. “It was a true team effort on the road. … the team came together and played for each other.” Against Billings, senior defender Alexander Kleefeldt opened the scoring in the sixth minute and two minutes later Blagojevic found Nico Espinosa with a cross into the penalty area that the sophomore midfielder hammered home
from five yards out. Blagojevic, who leads the Great Northwest in shots, points and goals, then gave the visitors a 3-0 lead, deflecting a shot on goal off a defender and past goalkeeper Tom Lohmann in the 23rd minute for his conference-leading 14th goal of the season. Watson’s shutout bid was spoiled in the 82nd minute off a throw-in. “This is one of the toughest places to play in our conference and our guys came out fired up and ready to compete,” said Koch in a second release. “It was an excellent start and great performance by the team.” SFU will close out its confer-
ence schedule with three consecutive games at home, including Saturday against the winless South Dakota School of Mines at Terry Fox Field. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Still struggling
The Clan women lost 2-1 to Seattle Pacfic despite freshman midfielder Elishah Jilling’s second goal in as many games in NCAA Great Northwest women’s soccer play. Priya Sandhu made six saves in goal for the Clan, who were outshot 13-4 in the match. SFU’s record fell to 2-10-0 following the team’s eighth straight defeat this season.
The Northwest Giants added to their best B.C. major midget hockey league start, knocking off the Valley West Hawks in a two-game series. Mateo Coltellaro of Burnaby scored his second goal of the season to give the Giants a 6-5 win against the Hawks in Langley last Saturday. Ryland Chernomaz potted a pair of back-to-back markers between the second and third periods to ensure the Burnaby Winter Club-based team won 5-2 over Valley West at home on Sunday. The wins improved the Giants’ first-place record to 10-0, one point better than the Cariboo Cougars and two games in hand over the runner-up club. In Langley, the Giants led 5-3 following a threegoal flurry in the middle stanza. Valley West countered with two goals a minute apart early in the final period to knot the contest and set up Coltellaro’s eventual game-winner. At home, Justin Wilson had an early goal and an assist, and Austin McQuay and captain Keegan Jones assisted on a pair of goals apiece to put the Giants up 4-1 heading into the third period. The early 10-0 start is reminiscent of the Giants’ 18-0 run two season’s ago. But this year, it’s been accomplished despite injuries to key players. “We’ve just been plugging along,” said Giants’ head coach Clint Thornton. “What’s most encouraging is we’re 10-0 and nobody is in top 10 scoring. “The kids are motivated. … It’s a team first attitude and that’s what’s paying off.” The Giants face the fourth-place Northeast Giants this weekend, beginning Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in Squamish before winding up the weekend at Planet Ice in Coquitlam with a mid-morning fixture on Sunday.

Understanding the multi-year cycles of indigenous insects and how the fish will respond to wet, dry or streamer facsimilies, the depth and turbidity of the water and surrounding temperatures are also considerations that a fisherman must consider. “We have to know how to approach the water, how to work the fly and push it through the water,” Laing said. “We’re all absolutely nuts about fishing.”
