Polarizing statue faces an uncertain future as high school set to be replaced

What’s next for the Viking?

or nearly a quarter century, the stern gaze of a 16-foot metal Viking has greeted students arriving at Burnaby North Secondary each morning, but that monument’s days may soon be numbered now that the school is being replaced. Education Minister Rob Fleming was in town recently to announce $79 million to replace the 62-year-old school by 2021. And one of the first questions out of most people’s mouths, according to principal Dave Rawnsley, is about the Viking. “Once we get past the logistics of where the building will go and what it might look like and what is a modern learning environment, then it always goes to ‘Where’s the Viking going?,’” he told the NOW. Anecdotally, Rawnsley said opinion about whether to keep it appears to be split about 50-50. There’s been talk, he said, of replacing it with a more modern, stylized figure, of coming up with something less male, of reconsidering the idea of Vikings as a school symbol at all.

Sidewalks too tricky for scooters, strollers: senior Maria Rantanen

mrantanen@burnabynow.com

Wayne McQueen navigates the bumps and broken sections of sidewalk along Smith Avenue in the Metrotown area in his motorized scooter. The 71-year-old manages to be mobile in his scooter despite having a condition called charcot foot, a result of his diabetes, which can cause the bones in his feet to break if he walks. But he doesn’t understand why a big city like Burnaby can’t get its sidewalks into shape for people like him in scooters or mothers pushing strollers. “It’s very hard to manoeuvre with a mobility device,” McQueen

said, adding that he’d like to see ramps on all corners along Smith Avenue. “It also would help young women with their strollers to have a ramp.” At Smith and Sandell, the sidewalk, which is only on one side of the street, ends with no curb letdown, but a pathway going east with bark mulch allows McQueen to eventually cross the street. Farther down at Hertford and Smith there is also no curb letdown, so McQueen turns east and goes down half a block until he can access the road where there is a private driveway, then he rides along the street until he finds another driveway to get back onto the sidewalk. In places, there are small, steep

inclines on the sidewalk beside a driveway where he gathers speed in his scooter to make it up the hill, something that makes him fearful for his safety. “I could have tipped the thing over backward because it’s too steep,” he said of the sidewalk beside a driveway. McQueen said he often feels nervous riding his scooter in traffic as he goes down Smith Avenue to his doctor’s appointment with traffic. “I think (city officials) need to take into consideration standards for making things mobility-safe – that doesn’t seem to be their priority, that’s just my opinion,” said McQueen, who has lived in Burnaby since 2008.

Beech’s Big Idea MP Terry Beech has pitched replacing the Trans Mountain tank farm with condos to the prime minister. Reporter Kelvin Gawley went looking for reaction to the plan. It wasn’t positive.

e can create billions of dollars in land value, protect the local environment and make Burnaby residents safer all at once. That’s Liberal MP Terry Beech’s big idea: upzone Burnaby Mountain for high-density residential and move the Trans Mountain pipeline tank farm somewhere else. He says it could be a “win-win-win” solution for everyone – it would alleviate the fears of a catastrophic fire on the mountain, make a huge windfall sale for the federal government and create new housing units in a region that desperately needs them. The Burnaby North– Seymour member of Parliament said the idea first came to him when he toured the site more than two years ago. “Unless you get up there and look around, you don’t realize what a large parcel of land it is, and I couldn’t help but think, ‘If this was developed into real estate, it would be one of the most valuable properties in North America,’” he said. The proposal is one of six in a “discussion paper” written by Beech to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fellow Liberal caucus members. The ideas are not sanctioned by Trudeau or cabinet, but serve as a launching point for “addressing the impact of the Trans Mountain expansion,” Beech wrote. He said the proposal became more viable when the federal government finalized its purchase of the existing pipeline and the expansion project in August, including the 13-tank site. Beech said he has raised the question with the CEO of Kinder Morgan Canada and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, but has not consulted experts on the feasibility of such an undertaking. He said he doesn’t know where the tank farm would go, how much it would cost to remediate the industrial site or how long it would take. “I’m short more information than I have, admittedly,” he said.

Beech cited his past career as a real estate developer in saying he’s confident the land would be worth billions. The views of Vancouver, Burrard Inlet and the United States “would be just unbelievable,” he said. “So I think that the math could work.” But no one else the NOW spoke to for this story shared Beech’s optimism. The proposal would ul-

timately require the City of Burnaby to rezone the area from industrial to high-density residential, but Mayor Derek Corrigan said the only discussion he’s had with Beech about it lasted about 15 seconds at a public event. “I wouldn’t even hazard a guess as to an order of magnitude number in order to do something like that,” Corrigan said, referring to the cost of the wholesale re-

moval and development of the site. Corrigan was also critical of Beech’s decision to go public with the idea when there is no indication the federal cabinet is actually behind it. “Right now, the last we’ve heard from the Prime Minister is he’s rushing the project through to try to complete it in six months,” Corrigan said. “So it doesn’t add much credibility to

Terry Beech making these kinds of proposals.” Corrigan’s challenger in this Saturday’s election, Mike Hurley, said he was broadly open to the idea, but he also questioned its feasibility. “I don’t know how realistic it is but anything that would remove the tank farm from Burnaby Mountain would be good,” he said. AndyYan, housing expert and director of Simon Fraser University’s City Program, said he was “flabbergasted” by the idea when he first heard of it from the NOW. In addition to the issues around finding a new tank farm location, land remediation and city infrastructure, Yan pointed out the federal government would need to go through a First Nations review before it sold the land. That is just one among a litany of questions Beech has no answers to,Yan said. “When you start getting into the weeds and getting into the details, that’s where it gets messy,” he said. Vancouver architect and planner Michael Geller echoed many of the same

concerns. Geller, Corrigan andYan all independently cited the land north of False Creek in Vancouver as an example of the costly and difficult task that is remediating and developing former industrial land. Geller said the Expo land effort cost hundreds of millions of dollars and the bill could be similar on Burnaby Mountain. “I think it would naive to assume that there has never been a spill or that there is no contamination of that [Burnaby Mountain] land,” Geller said. But even if the land were suddenly clear of the oil tanks, it shouldn’t necessarily be turned into gleaming condo towers, Geller said. The plan for Burnaby Mountain has been to densify within SFU’s ring road (including UniverCity, which Geller developed), while conserving the rest, he said. A local anti-pipeline activist was also skeptical of the idea. Karl Perrin, who lives in nearby UniverCity, said Beech’s proposal “seems like a fantasy.” Perrin said he will be watching to see whether Beech is “just floating an idea and hoping that people vote for him.” Trans Mountain, now a Crown corporation, did not respond to specific questions about the viability and cost of moving the tank farm, but a spokesperson did email a statement: “Trans Mountain’s Burnaby and Westridge Terminals have been in their current locations since the 1950s. Our future expansion and operational plans are all based on the existing locations and we have no plans to relocate our terminals. But Beech defended his choice to make his idea public. He said he hopes it sparks a conversation about creative solutions to impacts of the pipeline and its planned expansion. “Maybe it’s a 20 year solution but, I still think it’s something that’s worth talking about and getting to the bottom of whether it’s viable,” he said. “I think it’s absolutely a realistic proposal.”

Last debate talks inclusion Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

How will you make sure everyone has a place to thrive in Burnaby? That was the broad question put to mayoral candidates at a forum focused on social inclusion Tuesday evening. All four mayoral hopefuls – Derek Corrigan, Mike Hurley, Helen H. S. Chang and Sylvia Gung – squared off at Maywood Community School during an all-candidates meeting hosted by the Burnaby Inter-Agency Council. Several questions were directed at just the two frontrunners, Hurley and Corrigan, leaving the other two candidates sitting and listening for much of the evening. WELCOMING NEWCOMERS The candidates were asked what they would do to welcome newcomers to the city. Hurley said it took him a few years to adjust to life in Canada after immigrating here from Northern Ireland as a young man. He said that experience is more difficult for people who don’t speak English as a second language. Hurley said the city must be welcoming to new Canadians but offered little in the form of concrete policy on the subject. “The importance of welcoming newcomers here can never be overstated,”

Hurley said. Corrigan said the city has little jurisdiction over helping immigrants, but he pointed out the school board has recently hired more settlement workers. Corrigan also praised the work of local organizations, including Burnaby Neighbourhood House, for its settlement work. He said the city has made providing such organizations space a priority. Gung said the city should

provide job training to newcomers and Chang said the city needs more organized efforts to connect alienated citizens with one another. LGBTQ INCLUSION On a question about LGBTQ inclusion, there was little disagreement between the two frontrunners. Hurley said he would fly the Pride flag at City Hall every year without requiring citizens to make an annual request (as is the city’s current policy). Corrigan said he was proud to fly the flag for the

first time this year, as well as support the city’s first-ever Pride event.The event was small this year but will grow, he said. RECONCILIATION Both men used a question about reconciliation with Indigenous people as an opportunity to speak about their signature issues. Corrigan said he is proud of how the City of Burnaby has partnered with area First Nations in the fight against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. He praised the tireless work of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation for its legal battle that ultimately quashed federal approval of the project. Hurley said he has supported his First Nations stepdaughter in her struggles to “be recognized for things she needed to be recognized for.” He said one of the best ways to advance reconciliation will be to provide affordable housing for Indigenous people. He said many people affected by demovictions in recent years have been Indigenous. SENIORS Asked how they would make life more affordable for seniors, Hurley said he would make housing affordable for them, including considering a property tax break for longtime homeowners, while Corrigan said property taxes should remain low.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

We don’t mind grovelling to get you to vote Saturday

Well, it’s that time again. The time when we ask you, dear citizens, to vote. Perhaps “ask” is too subtle a word. How about beg? Plead? Grovel? OK, we’ll go with grovel – we are grovelling on bended knee with tears streaming down our faces to get you to vote this Saturday in the civic election. Sure, we’re debasing ourselves, but we don’t mind if that’s what it takes to get you off your duffs and into one of the convenient poll-

ing stations. It’s embarrassing, really, that we have to do this. There are people in countries that don’t have free, democratic governments who have never had the chance to vote in an election.There are others who do get to vote, but in elections that are rigged by despots. But not you.You live in a society in which your local government spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold free elections. They advertise the dates in which you can vote and in-

clude a list of all the candidates. They print up handy cards with all of the information.They even hold voting sessions on multiple dates just to make sure you have some options. They hand it all to you on the proverbial silver platter. And yet ... roughly three out of every four eligible voters won’t bother to take a few minutes every four years to mark a ballot. It’s enraging, really. It forces us to use precious space on our opinion page to grovel so you’ll exer-

cise your democratic rights. And it’s not like it’s for no reason. Civic elections receive the lowest voter turnouts out of the big three elections, despite having politicians who are the most accessible out of those levels of government. Most months you can see them live right in your own community. Then there are the things that civic politicians have some or total control over. Property taxes. Road infrastructure. Housing. Sidewalks. Recreation facilities. Schools. Garbage collec-

tion. Recycling. Community events. You can’t seriously tell us you don’t care about those things. Then there are the candidates.This year we have a diverse group of people who have put their names forward.They come from all walks of life and cover a wide range of the political spectrum. Some of them have been in power for a long time – maybe too long for your liking. Some are newbies on the political scene – maybe too new for you to feel comfortable

with. If you don’t think your vote matters, remember that some of these races might be really close. Your single vote could be the deciding one for a candidate you like. Our point is that some of these people are going to be elected, so you might as well take part in voting for those who seem to be worthy. Stay with the old guard you think have been doing a good job. Or help sweep in some new blood if you want changes. Whatever you do, don’t sit at home.

Pot stores spark NIMBY views

Surveys have consistently shown that Canadians support legalizing marijuana. But n spite of this high level of support, the road to legalization has been complex. In specific cities, bylaws related to cannabis commercialization have not been enforced. Just three years ago, more than 100 so-called dispensaries were selling marijuana and marijuana-related products inVancouver alone. Now that legalization has arrived, existing dispensaries need to apply to the provincial government for a business licence.The process is long. As of today, there is only one B.C. cannabis store operating - in Kamloops. A province-wide survey conducted this month by Research Co. revealed some staggering differences in opinions. Seven in 10 British Columbians say they approve of establishing marijuana stores in their municipality. The level of support drops to 56 per cent when residents are asked about a pot shop doing business in their neighbourhood. When asked whether they approve or disapprove of a marijuana store located a block away from their home, the numbers tighten dramatically. Across the province, 50 per cent of residents say they approve of a pot shop located that close to their dwelling, but 48 per cent disapprove. There is a gender divide: a majority of men (54 per cent) see no problem with a marijuana store near their home; a majority of women (51 per cent) eschew the idea.

Age also plays a role, with British Columbians aged 18 to 34 voicing the highest level of support for a pot shop near their home (60 per cent).Their older counterparts are not convinced, with approval dropping to 48 per cent among residents aged 35 to 54, and to 44 per cent among those over the age of 55. Political allegiance also plays a role in shaping views on the future location of pot shops. A sizable majority of British Columbians who voted for the BC NDP in the last provincial election (60 per cent) have no qualms about a marijuana store being located a block from their home. BC Green Party voters are staunchly divided (50 per cent approve, 49 per cent disapprove) and BC Liberal voters are more likely to object (55 per cent). It is evident that the legalization of cannabis will not go as smoothly as originally envisioned.The process of granting permits and business licences needs to be clear, and communities must be allowed to have their say about where marijuana will be sold. There are more than 100 applications for governmentrun cannabis stores that are waiting to be processed.The prospect of marijuana being sold close to homes is not particularly thrilling for all British Columbians. All levels of government would be wise to consult and engage with a public that is deeply divided, not on legalization, but on location. Mario Canseco is the president of Research Co.

Pipeline springs ‘pinhole’ leak

A Sapperton Fish and Game Club member said he could smell jet fuel in the water system for several days before Trans Mountain Pipeline officials discovered a “pinhole” leak in the pipeline in Burnaby in February. An estimated 28 barrels or 800 gallons of high-grade Jet A fuel leaked, some into salmon-bearing Stoney Creek, according to city officials.The leak in the pipeline was found on a small horse farm between Lougheed Highway and Stoney Creek.Trans Mountain officials admitted to having known about several “anomalies” in the pipeline.

Hurley shouldn’t take credit for bike patrols

More needs to be done to keep pedestrians safe

Editor: I would like to comment on an interview that was conducted with mayoral candidate Mike Hurley (and the NOW). In that video, in reference to the merited increased attention on safety in Central Park, Mr. Hurley made a point to congratulate his candidacy for the return of the RCMP “back into the parks.” This attempt to take credit for something he seems poorly informed about is laughable at best. If I can reminisce for a moment, on July 20 the NOW reported on the culmination of my investigative efforts through my capacity as citizen representative on the public safety committee to find out why the bike squad was discontinued. I addressed this matter during our committee meeting, where two years ago we originally conceived the creation of the bike squad with the intent to enable efficient and alternative patrols in all areas of Burnaby where motorized vehicles have a challenge navigating (not just in parks). It was political opportunism at the time when that story broke for Hurley to attack council for the lapsing of the bike squad, but I did not react then. However, crediting himself for the return of the bike squad to boost his mayoral campaign is an insult to the collaborative work that many private citizens and public servants dedicate in pursuit of the improvement of this city. I certainly don’t think Mr. Hurley’s opportunistic stroke is becoming of a role that should be a leader in encouraging citizen engagement. David Pereira, Burnaby

Editor: Why can’t we learn from other cities’ effective and cost-efficient ways of handling matters? Other cities have dealt with the crossing (guard) issue quite frugally, including one option of having a basic stand containing flags that pedestrians use to cross the street, placing the flag in the container on the other side. Although this may not be the right solution for a school zone, it can certainly work in other crossing areas quite efficiently. It also helps to keep pedestrians more aware of their environment/movement. M. Wasaznik, Burnaby

Don’t want to see a world without newspapers

Editor: Don’t ever want to see the day when there are no newspapers. Stopped buying the Province and Sun because of the hike in price. I read the ads in the NOW and appreciate the fact I can do so once or many times – my choice - unlike ads on TV. Ad nauseum – more ads than content. The mute button is the most popular on my remote.

Tool tracking access for kids with special needs

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A parent organization tracking incidents of special needs students being denied the same access to education as other kids says the Burnaby school district is not immune to the problem. BCEdAccess is a 1,600-member grassroots organization that grew out of a Facebook group for B.C. parents of special needs children. On the first day of school last month, the organization launched an online tool for parents to track every time their child misses out on school because they’re asked to stay home or end the school day early or because they’re separated from peers at school or excluded from fieldtrips. BCEdAccess founder Tracy Humphreys wouldn’t say how many incidents have been reported in Burnaby specifically because the group is still in the process of gathering data, but added there “definitely are cases in

Burnaby.” “Even in a great district that does, I think, a really great job of inclusion, this practice happens,” she said, “and that means that someone isn’t looking at that data and they should be.” BCEdAccess hopes the tracking tool will shed light on the issue and show exclusion of this kind isn’t a rare occurrence. So far, 167 incidents have been reported provincewide, many during the first week of school. “That is typical because in the first few weeks that is when kids are being most obviously excluded by being asked not to attend until they’ve gotten around to hiring whoever they need for supports,” she said. One concern, according to Humphreys, is that these missed days and hours aren’t necessarily recorded as absences by schools. “Maybe they don’t think it’s important, or maybe they don’t want to draw attention to it,” she said. “I think that if boards knew how much this is happen-

ing, they would certainly take notice. “ Humphreys said all students should be in school all day. That’s what the Burnaby district strives for, but fulltime attendance isn’t always the best thing for students with special needs, according to assistant superintendent Heather Hart. “The goal is to ensure they’re successful,” Hart said. “If we ensure that they’re in school full-time but they’re not being successful because they’re having problems and the problems are very challenging

for them to move ahead, then we really haven’t done our job.We have to get to a place where the school environment is a place where they’re going to be successful, and that’s our whole goal there.” Hart said Burnaby students with special needs are not sent home from school or told to leave early because of a lack of staff resources. Burnaby has a “well-coordinated team” including district learning support teachers, behavioural analysts, psychologists, speech and language pathologists and special ed-

ucation assistants, according to Hart. “We work collaboratively with schools and parents, as our partners, to ensure that those supports are in place,” Hart said. The district, however, is currently still looking to fill eight of its 100 special education assistant positions (called EA3s in Burnaby), according to Hart. When asked if that might impact access to educational activities for students with special needs, Hart said students without a special education assistant will work with regular EAs until the positions are filled. “I don’t think any kind of learning is contingent upon having one specific type of EA there,” she said. But even regular EAs aren’t easy to come by in the Lower Mainland. The district spent $630,000 less than expected on EA salaries last year because it couldn’t fill positions, according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill, and the schools had to rely more heavily than ex-

pected on substitute EAs and teachers. Burnaby parent Jen Mezei, former district parent advisory chair and one-time president of the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, joined the BCEdAccess Facebook group years ago, when her son, who has Asperger’s, was going through Burnaby schools. She said she dreaded the calls from school when her son was having a bad day. It’s one of the reasons she felt she had to stay home, she said. Burnaby school district has done a good job of supporting kids with special needs despite a lack of adequate funding from the province, according to Mezei, but all districts need to do better, she said. She believes that the BCE dAccess tracking tool could help drive that point home. “Without hard numbers, it’s hard to make a case that it’s really happening across the province.” For more, visit tinyurl. com/BCEdAccess.

Man ﬁles $42M lawsuit over incident at hospital

Defendants call lawsuit ‘scandalous’ and ‘vexatious’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man is suing Burnaby Hospital, B.C. Emergency Health services, a paramedic and a nurse for a total of nearly $42 million for an emergency room incident in July 2017. Burnaby’s Dr. Emotions Paradise Universe – formerly known as OsamaYassein Al-Salami – says he was assaulted, slandered and then brutally arrested at Burnaby Hospital on July 7, 2017. He had come to the ER via ambulance with a painful case of sciatica, according to a notice of civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court. After a painful wait, according to the filing, Universe told a nurse at the triage desk that she was “pushing” him to leave and that she’d “be responsible.” Universe said Kristina Zerr, a nurse, had then tried to stop him from leaving and that a paramedic, Casey Forslund, had stepped in and punched him in the shoulder. Then, as he made his way from the hospital, Universe said he was arrested by three RCMP officers who cuffed his hands and feet in “heavy metal chains.” Universe said Zerr and Forslund accused him of voicing “terrorists and jihadists talk” and threatening to kill them and all Canadians by shooting and chopping them up. Universe says he spent 30 hours in jail and was then charged with uttering threats – charges that have

since been stayed. The incident has done “permanent damage” to Universe’s “reputation and character,” he said. Among the damages sought by Universe is $15 million in compensation for lost income as a “specialized surgeon” and “university professor.” Further, he said Burnaby Hospital has a history of intentionally treating him badly and humiliating him because he is Muslim and Arabic. Twice, hospital staff have called him Osama bin Laden, he said.

not respectful.” “The plaintiff’s behavior escalated to a point where the triage nursing staff felt personally afraid and concerned about the safety of the other patients in the emergency department waiting area,” states their response to civil claim. Zerr and Forslund came into the ER to calm him down but were unsuccessful, according the document. “The plaintiff became more aggressive and unpredictable, and was making statements that were perceived by the defendants as threatening and frightening to them and concerning for the safety of others in the emergency department waiting area,” states the response. Police were called and Zerr, Forslund and another nurse gave statements to police, but they deny that the “sense, meaning or innuendo of the statements was that the plaintiff was a terrorist, jihadist or criminal.” “The Statements were made in the context of the communication with the RCMP and without specific intended innuendo, and merely to recite the facts of the interactions with the plaintiff to the best of the defendants’ abilities.” Forslund also denies assaulting Universe. None of the claims has been proven in court. The defendants called the notice of civil claim “scandalous, vexatious and an abuse of process” and called for the case to be dismissed.

‘The plaintiff’s behavior escalated to a point where the triage nursing staff felt personally afraid.’

That’s why he changed his name to a “full English name,” he said. “To make them and everyone stop offend(ing) and insult(ing) (me),” he said. The defendants in the suit are denying Universe’s claims. They say Universe repeatedly expressed frustration to the triage nurse “in a manner that was aggressive and

Viking head was eight years in the making Continued from page 1 As with everything else about the new building, Rawnsley said the final decision will only come after a thorough consultation process involving staff, students, parents and district officials – but he doesn’t expect it’ll be easy. “That may be the most difficult decision we’re going to come up with here,” he said.

A POLARIZING FIGURE Opinion about the Viking has been mixed from the start. On June 13, 1994, the day it was first unveiled, the NOW got an angry phone call from a man who identified himself only as Louie. “I opened the door this morning, and there it was, this big, black thing that reminded me of the devil,” he said. Louie said he was “appalled” by the “ugly” monument and concerned about his property value. That sparked an equally passionate letter to the editor from the Wong family, who called the Viking a “magnificent artwork” and chastised Louie for his selfishness. “Does he not recognize and understand the degree of hard work, commitment and pride that these students poured into the statue?” they asked. The Viking was a project eight years in the making. It was started in 1987 by now-retired shop teacher John Clarke as a way to inspire and challenge his welding students – and intimidate opponents of the school’s football team. At first it was only to be a giant helmet. Clarke envisioned carrying it out before football games in lieu of a mascot.

“I thought we could put the helmet out on the field and say, ‘Hey, just wait till the player shows up that fits this helmet.’” As his welding students gained the necessary level of skill, Clarke allowed them to shape and weld a steel panel onto the Viking’s rebar frame. In total, he estimates there are about 120 panels on the figure, welded on by up to 80 students over the years. From just the helmet, the project grew to include a head. If Clarke had stayed at North instead of transferring to Cariboo Hill, the school might also have ended up with a giant fist wielding a sword and thrusting out of the ground right beside the Viking to give the effect of the figure bursting forth from the earth. As it was, the project slowed after Clarke left and was completed only after he brought the helmet and partially finished head to his own shop, Canatrac International Inc., operated by Clarke and Dennis Marander, a North grad. There it was finished with help from past and current students during twice-weekly “Viking head nights.” Among other finishing touches, that’s when the Viking got his signature messy hair and beard, made of 10 gauge steel wire and welded to his face one by one. That’s also when he was painted a somewhat ominous black. The paint was designed to heat up the head and create a convection current through the figure to keep it dry to prevent corrosion. The statue had been looking a little worse for wear for a few years, however, until it got a spiffy new paint

job this summer, including a coat of gold paint on the helmet. AN INSPIRING SYMBOL The Viking’s unveiling in 1994 – so horrifying to Louie – was met with enthusiasm in the school community and attended by representatives from the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian consulates. “The sculpture is really a reminder that Burnaby North Secondary is an outstanding school with a

proud heritage,” said thenprincipal John Mercer. “The Viking represents the spirit of exploration and fearlessness, the willingness to take risks to make the world a better place.” Along with such lofty symbolism, the Viking has also given the school a focal point for celebrating various holidays and other special events. As such, the last 25 years have seen him sport a Santa beard, Easter Bunny ears and a giant Vancouver 2010

Olympics toque, to name just a few of his past accoutrement. “Everybody agrees that definitely the symbolism of the Viking and the significance of it in terms of the history of North, everybody agrees that that part’s important,” Rawnsley said. So far, no neighbours have pounced on the school replacement announcement as a long-awaited opportunity to get rid of the Viking, according to Rawnsley, but that does mean there won’t

be people both inside and outside of the school community calling for it to go. What side will Rawnsley be on? “No comment,” he said with a laugh. Clarke would definitely like to see it stay put. “I think it’s become a fixture of the school,” he said, “and I believe it would carry the spirit forward from the old school to the new school to have some of the trappings left.”

City now Hurley pulls ahead of Corrigan in independent poll Mike Hurley has pulled ahead of Derek Corrigan in the race for the mayor’s chair in Burnaby, according to a new poll. Hurley has 51 per cent support among decided voters to Corrigan’s 43 per cent, according to the poll conducted by Justason Market Intelligence (JMI) on Monday and Tuesday this week. The survey was conducted using landline and cell phones, as well as online. The sample of 469 people was weighted and normalized to the actual gender and age distribution of Burnaby residents. (The sample size comes with a 4.5 per cent margin of error 95 per cent of the time.The decided voters poll of 239 comes with a 6.3 per cent margin of error.) Barb Justason, the firm’s principal, said she was “blown away” when she first saw the results early Wednesday morning. The results suggests Hurley has significant momentum going into Saturday’s election, she said. On Oct. 5, Justason published a poll showing Hurley and Cor-

mer firefighter over the incumbent (43 per cent). Forty per cent of respondents identified affordable

housing as the number one issue, with the Trans Mountain pipeline coming in a distant second at 18 per

cent. Justason said this anxiety about housing is likely the source of Hurley’s support.

rigan neck and neck, with Corrigan, the five-time incumbent, slightly ahead with 43 per cent support to Hurley’s 42 per cent. The first poll was commissioned by the International Association of Fire Fighters, of which Hurley is a leader and member but today’s poll was independently sponsored by JMI. Justason said she had been “hearing anecdotal evidence of growing enthusiasm for Mr. Hurley” and felt compelled to investigate it. She said she expected to see the two frontrunners polling in the same range as the first poll and was surprised to see Hurley had

opened up an eight-point lead. But Justason said she took a close look at the finer points of data and confirmed it wasn’t a “rogue poll.” The polling found Hurley’s support increases with the age of voters. Among those aged 18 to 34, Hurley enjoys 45 per cent to Corrigan’s 43 (a statistical tie). That gap grows significantly among 35 to 54 year olds, who support Hurley at a rate of 51 per cent to Corrigan’s 44. And among voters 55+, Hurley has the biggest lead over Corrigan with 54 per cent of decided voters intending to vote for the for-

The B.C. government revealed that now that Canada has legalized cannabis, online orders for weed will carry a $10 shipping fee.That is double the shipping fee that Ontario is charging. Both governments contracted Shopify to operate their e-commerce websites (www.BCCannabisStores. com and www.ocs.ca), and

We’re conﬁdent that the system will work both governments plan to have Canada Post deliver the products. “We’re confident that the system will work,” Solicitor General Mike Farnworth stressed during a Monday news conference. Deliveries, however, could soon be disrupted given that the Canadian Union of PostalWorkers said on Oct.

16 that it has given strike notice to Canada Post and that workers could start rotating strikes as early as Oct. 22. Farnworth downplayed the action when he spoke to media this week. “This is just a notice that has been served,” he said. “We have seen this numerous times in previous negotiations, and negotiations usually do end up with a contract in place. So the liquor control and cannabis branch (officially the Liquor & Cannabis Regulation Branch) is reaching out to Canada Post to get a better understanding of what is involved and what they mean by and what they are looking at in terms of rotating strikes.” British Columbians 19 years of age and older are now able to buy regulated cannabis regardless of where they live in the province. People in other provinces will not be able to use the B.C. store. Canada Post employees will check identification to ensure that recipients are of legal age, particularly

if recipients appear to be under 25 years old. If a recipient is underaged, the product will be returned to the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) and the full purchase price and associated taxes will be refunded. Online orders will be shipped from the BCLDB’s distribution centre within 48 business hours of the order being placed, according to

the B.C. government. The first BC Cannabis Store, in Kamloops opening onWednesday.The store, located in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre, has 24 cannabis consultants to serve customers, the government said.The store features about 85 dried-flower strains of cannabis plus a selection of oils, capsules and pre-rolls approved by Health Canada. No private retail stores

are yet open despite, government data showing that entrepreneurs have paid 173 application fees for retail licences across B.C. Of the 111 paid applications that government workers deemed to be complete, only 62 have been forwarded to local governments or First Nations to approve. None of those applicants have received conditional approval, much less had a licence issued.

Private cannabis retailers must proceed through the Liquor & Cannabis Regulation Branch’s regulatory and permit process. Private and public retailers will be allowed to sell dried cannabis, cannabis oils, capsules and seeds that comply with federal requirements. They may also sell cannabis accessories, as defined in the federal Cannabis Act, such as rolling papers, pipes and bongs.

We proudly serve over 30,000 people across this province, every day.

A CHRISTMAS STORY

WHAT’S UP? Align Entertainment presents the hilarious holiday classic A Christmas Story: The Musical. WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Remember that 1983 film that everyone loves? This is the Broadway adaptation, with a score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (creators of La La Land and The Greatest Showman). Just like the movie, it follows the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, who wants nothing more for Christmas than an official Red Ryder Carbine Action BB gun. The musical comedy premiered on Broadway in 2012, receiving three Tony Award nominations and making way for such songs as It All Comes Down to Christmas, Ralphie to the Rescue and You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out! WHO’S ONSTAGE? Align Entertainment has cast emerging star Owen Scott, a student of musical theatre and dance

at the Lindbjerg Academy, as Ralphie. He’s joined by Stefanie Stanley as Ralphie’s Mother; Brennan Cuff as the Old Man; Georgiy Rhatushnyak as Ralphie’s little brother, Randy; and Lucas Gregory as Ralphie’s best friend, Flick.

A Christmas Story is a quirky holiday classic WHY SHOULD I GO SEE IT? How can it get any better than a childhood favourite Christmas story, complete with singing and dancing? “A Christmas Story is a quirky holiday classic about a wholesome family founded on unconditional love,” says director and co-producer Chad Matchette in a press release. “Generations have been drawn to the young protagonist, Ralphie, who is at the crux of childhood. His innocence and persistence

remind us of a quieter and perhaps less-complicated era. It’s no surprise that this iconic tale was adapted into a musical. Through its utterly timeless score and evergreen optimistic message, our astonishing cast of triple-threat talents will set the stage with a festive reminder of the magic found in pursuing our dreams – big or small.” WHEN AND WHERE? Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave., Burnaby, Nov. 2 to 17. Preview Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. Evening shows 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, matinees Nov. 4, 10, 11 and 17 at 2 p.m. TICKETS Priced at $29 through $42 for regular shows. Preview pricing $20.

Communitynow OPINION

Keep your stinky weed smoke away from me Andy Prest

editorial@burnabynow.com

Hey, do you smell something? It smells a bit like skunk, and Cheezies, and victory! Yes, it is officially Weedmas Day, the day that cannabis becomes legal in Canada. Open up your window and get a whiff of this new world we’ve entered. And maybe check on that guy sitting on the bench across the street – he’s spent the last two hours talking to a fence. On Wednesday, Canada became the second country in the world to legalize recreational marijuana. It’s kind of fascinating how we got here. Proving that we have always been ahead of the curve, Canada was one of the first countries to ban marijuana back in the early 1920s at a time when it was a seldom-used and littleknown drug. Some give credit to author and Maclean’s columnist Emily Murphy, who often wrote under the name “Janey Canuck,” for popularizing and promoting the pot panic that would lead to the drug’s prohibition. (How disappointing is it that this is the legacy of such a great pen name? Doesn’t it seem like 1920s Janey Canuck should have been writing about how to

Kellie Vallee

brew rye whisky in your bathtub or fend off cougars with a canoe paddle?) Despite the dire warnings from buzzkill Janey, as well as some harsh consequences for getting busted by the police for marijuana offences, use of the drug began to flourish in the 1960s and hasn’t slowed down since. A couple of decades later came the Americanled “war on drugs,” about as winnable as my “war on my children waking me up a 6:30 a.m. every damn day.” As I grew up in the 1980s and ’90s, the war was mostly a distant one in my small Alberta town, but on rare occasions I could smell that distinct scent wafting from a basement and knew that someone was doing something “bad.” As I got older I was taken aback to learn that people I knew were starting to do this “bad” thing, sneaking away at parties and coming back smelling like the badness.What was wrong with those bad people, we thought? Why weren’t they content to stay out in the open and chug beers and whisky like the rest of us law-abiding teenagers? As I got slightly older I realized that people who smoked marijuana didn’t actually seem all that bad. In fact, I remember a lot of bad, violent things hap-

pening from the folks who were fuelled by whisky and beer. Not so much from the green team. And then there was the night I was in the back seat of a Pontiac Sunfire and my friend’s older sister’s friend took out a pipe. He took a few puffs, and passed it around the car. Nothing really bad happened until it came to me.Wanting to play it cool, I grabbed it and tried to light the thing but was holding the lighter the wrong way and instead of setting the little plant bits on fire I burned a blister into my thumb. Cool, man. Cool. Important and completely truthy interjection: In case any U.S. Border Agents are reading this, I HAVE NEVER SMOKED MARIJUANA or ingested pot brownies or watched a Cheech and Chong movie or purchased a hemp necklace or listened to the music of Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus or eaten at White Castle or microwaved a frozen pizza at two in the morning. My old roommate The Toddfather will totally vouch for me. Please please please let me cross the border so I can see the Blue Jays play in Seattle, OK?! Anyway, here we are. Marijuana is legal. Legalization was totally the right thing to do, and yet still feels

very strange. In this new age of weed freedom, I think the smell will be the strangest thing. Well, for some people the strangest thing might be that pile of leaves over there. Like, have you ever really looked at a leaf? Like, really looked at it, man? What even is a leaf? And what do you call more than one leaf? Leaveseseses? Maybe it’s just that I have young children. I have no concerns that they’re going to smoke weed, go insane and then murder me in my sleep. Like they’d ever let me sleep. No, it’s the smoke. My kids have been conditioned by their mother, and right-

ly so, to recoil at the scent of cigarette smoke.You will no doubt get the stink eye if you come anywhere near them with a cigarette. Last week my older son complained that “the air was bad” at a soccer practice because some young punks were vaping on the basketball court on the other side of the field. Canadian society has done a pretty good job of eliminating second-hand smoke from public spheres, but now there’s a new law that might make it slightly cool again for people to feel free to share whatever they’re puffing on with whoever is sitting nearby.

Mommy’s GROUNDED

Bianca Bujan

A new baby is a beacon for attention. Strangers can’t help but peek at your little pride and joy, commenting on how cute they are and asking prying questions. For new moms, the added attention can be daunting. I can still remember taking my first-born baby for her inaugural stroll through the park.When one stranger reached into my stroller and stroked my baby’s head, I cringed, but then retracted. I didn’t like that someone I didn’t know was touching my baby without my permission, but I thought that maybe I was just being a neurotic first-time mom. While our interaction with the handsy stranger left me feeling uncomfortable, the impact soon passed. Unfortunately for some parents, the same scenario could have had far more damaging effects. Recently, an image of a “No Touching” sign dangling from the handle of a car seat has gone viral on social media.The sign reads, “NO TOUCHING. Your germs are too BIG for me,” sparking debate between parents. The stroller and car seat tags were designed by Johanna Ackerman, who started Tags4Tots in hopes of protecting her nephew who was born with a heart defect. If he were to get sick, his life would have been put in jeopardy, so she created a solution to keep strangers from spreading unwanted germs. Later, Johanna’s niece, who was born premature,

contracted a cold, causing an infection in her tiny body.This inspired the set of tags designed specifically to keep hands off preemies. After years of selling a product designed to keep preemies safe, the creator of the tags gave birth to a baby born 10 weeks early. She continues to create signs in

New babies are at a high health risk hopes of protecting children from unwanted illnesses, this time from a personal perspective. While some agree that it’s a necessary diversionary approach to pawing passersby, others think it’s just a money grab for germaphobes. Comments such as, “Children need germs, their bodies need it to fight off sickness,” are sprinkled in amongst complimentary posts on the company’s Facebook feed. In response, a reply from Tags4Tots reads: “You will probably see a lot peo-

ple saying how kids ‘need’ germs and I just wanted to say that our signs protect premature babies and babies who are (immunocompromised). But, we also give peace of mind to those with newborns and babies.These help from unwanted contact germs from well-intended strangers. Unfortunately, we don’t know what could be on the hands of someone. The most common germs found on the hands of people randomly tested included e-coli, norovirus and MRSA (staph).” With the cold and flu season in full swing, new babies are at a high health risk, as they are too young for immunizations. For those babies with health concerns, passed germs can have a life-threatening impact. For healthy children, germs aren’t all bad, but there’s a big difference between bouncing your baby between familiar family and friends, and having them stroked by strangers. Look, don’t touch, and perhaps the signage would no longer be necessary. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer and editor. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Citynow Metro council salary hikes were higher than yours Elected officials gave themselves a 13.9 per cent raise in the same time average wages went up 6.5 per cent Graeme Wood

Glacier Syndicated

Metro Vancouver city councillors collectively gave themselves a 13.9-per-cent raise over the span of their four-year term, an analysis of their compensation shows. In the same time period, from 2013 to 2017, the average weekly wage rate in B.C. increased 6.5 per cent, according to Statistics Canada. Of 21 municipalities, only four council wage increases fell below this threshold – North Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Bowen Island and Lions Bay. The five largest increases came in Anmore (41.7 per cent), Port Moody (37.2 per cent),Vancouver (32.4 per cent), New Westminster (24.2 per cent) and White Rock (21.2 per cent). Many municipalities have set their wages based on comparable municipalities or pegged them to the Vancouver Consumer Price Index (VCPI). But if the index goes down, compensation does not. According to Statistics Canada, the compounded increase to VCPI between 2014 and 2017 was 6.8 per cent. Glacier Media compared the four most recent statements of financial information to Dec. 31, 2017, reported by each municipality to the provincial government at the end of each year. Base wages do not include such items as vehicle allowances, transportation expenses, benefits and pensions – all of which vary between cities and may or may not be reported in detail. Nor do the wages include compensation of about

$20,000 for councillors sitting on the Metro Vancouver regional government board. The average base compensation for councillors is now $41,450, while mayors earned $93,051. UBC political scientist Maxwell Cameron said the raises highlight a trend in which Canadian politicians are increasingly moving closer to the top end of the average worker’s salary. He said wage increases are bound to provoke resentment considering “the average income of the typical worker has been flatlined.” However, he said, people should consider the value in a politician’s work. “I try to push back against the populist ideology we hear, that politicians are too numerous and overpaid,” Cameron said. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore was recently quoted as telling an audience of developers at a forum last month that local

municipal officials were not overcompensated. “We’re the least paid in this whole room,” he said. Moore, who declined an interview, was heavily scrutinized last April as chair of Metro Vancouver’s board after its members voted for a

significant pay raise that was later reversed. Moore told media higher salaries are needed to attract new politicians. Moore earned $77,747 per year as chair, on top of his 2017 mayor’s salary of $94,484, plus a $7,550 transportation allowance and other benefits. Cameron said setting salaries is a balancing act.

“Ideally, you don’t want politicians to be part of the small part of the population,” he said. “On the other hand you do want them well compensated. If they don’t keep up with other professions you’ll have more difficulty recruiting professionals who may need to leave their career and take part in this important job.” Vancouver reviewed its council salaries in late 2015. A new, much larger wage was set based on median population, operating budgets and salaries of a sample of large Canadian cities. Its wages are now set to VCPI, with no declines if the index declines. The City of Richmond employs a market survey for ongoing reviews and adjustments based on comparable regional municipalities, including Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta and Abbotsford. Additionally, salaries are automatically adjusted to the CPI. Delta also

compares itself to other municipalities. This past term, with an 18-per-cent increase, Richmond ($66,214) surpassed Burnaby ($60,654 plus a reported transportation allowance of $4,320) in base council salary, despite Burnaby having a bigger population and operating budget. Following a wage freeze, Surrey’s council gave itself an 8.8-per-cent increase to $71,660, commencing

February 2017, after an independent review recommended it be paid in line with councils in cities with similar operating budgets. Surrey councillors also get a $7,435 vehicle allowance (the mayor receives $14,580) plus per-kilometre compensation. Surrey’s new policy is to set council wage increases to the same rate of increase as the average Surrey fulltime employee.

It was the second fire of the summer at the Stratford Avenue school, and fire officials suspected arson. The fire department was called to the school in the afternoon on Aug. 21 and found a “sizeable conflagration” in the southeast corner, and two youths were spotted running from the scene. School officials estimated the damage to the building would cost $25,000 to fix. A fire in June had caused$50,000 worth of damage.

Communitynow Meet your neighbours: Martin Leung

MARTIN LEUNG “On the way to my bus, I pass by this little building that is always full of people. One day, I saw a senior, sitting alone, gazing out the window. “On a whim, I walked in and struck up a conversation with him. He told me his name was Arthur and

that he was the first senior to arrive for the Digital Café.This class is kind of related to what I like – technology, computers and helping people. “Arthur and I began chatting about computers and new technologies, and it made me think that seniors are such unbelievable people.They have decades of wisdom, they have so much life experience, and I love to listen to their stories.That day I decided to sit in on the class – it was noisy and vibrant, and afterwards, they invited me to come back, so I did. I kept coming back until eventually I volunteered to help with the class. “I am studying electronic engineering at SFU and have found that working with seniors helps me to learn how to explain new concepts, break down my explanations and how to be clear in explaining new technologies. “What is really surprising is that this has also helped me to be more proficient in interviews, because seniors

are constantly asking unexpected questions. “The bonus is that during the week, I often meet them in North Burnaby, and it makes this big city feel a little bit smaller. Suddenly I have a lot of people I know, and they know me.They make me feel welcome. Their smiles each Monday have meant a lot to me. It’s my place now.” Arriving at the age of two when his family left Hong Kong, Martin has called North Burnaby his home

ever since. He credits his mom for instilling him with a love of volunteering and his Burnaby North physics teacher, Mr. Kennedy with his love of physics. Martin plans to continue as a volunteer at the North Burnaby Neighbourhood House for a long time to come – he says it makes him feel good. The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is a charitable, non-profit organization with a unique focus on neighbours supporting neighbours. Check it out at www.burnabynh.ca.
