SLOW ZONE: A ‘cone zone’ was set up on Lougheed Highway at Delta Avenue in Burnaby on Monday to warn drivers to take it slow in construction zones.

The Cone Zone campaign to get drivers to slow down and pay attention when driving past roadside workers is entering its 11th year this summer – but things aren’t getting

any better, according to Sgt. Patrick Davies. “Unfortunately, I’d have to say they’re probably getting worse,” said Davies, “and they’re getting worse in the sense that we’ve got so much traffic and everything is so busy and everyone’s in such a

hurry, and many people see driving as a secondary thing in the sense that, ‘I can multi-task; I can steer with my knee while I put makeup on or answer that text.’” But that attitude is dangerous – and sometimes deadly – for flag-

gers, road construction crews, tow-truck drivers, first responders and others whose work brings them to the side of the road, according to Davies. Davies and other members of the Integrated Road Safety Unit joined officials fromWorkSafeBC

and members of theWork Zone Safety Alliance in Burnaby Monday. Officers conducted a traffic-enforcement blitz in the eastbound lanes of Lougheed Highway by Delta Avenue between 9 and 11 a.m., issuing a total of 20 tickets for speed-

ing and using an electronic device. Karesse Desmond, a former flagger now with K2K Consulting, agreed drivers seem to have become increasingly “comfortable” with driving distracted. Continued on page 4

Citynow CRIME

Slaying prompts gang team changes Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is bolstering it gang team with extra resources after two deadly gangland shootings in five days last week. “Disregard for human life is not to be tolerated. This is our number 1 priority,” Supt. Graham De la Gorgendiere said at a press conference at Burnaby RCMP headquarters Friday. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was at the detachment to share details about the latest shooting in Burnaby. Last Thursday, just after 8:30 p.m., shots rang out near the Market Crossing Cactus Club on Byrne Road, killing 23-year-old Jaskeert Kalkat and seriously injuring two others, a man and woman, both in their 20s, according to IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Frank Jang. All three victims were known to police, and investigators believe all three were targeted in the hit, according to Jang. He said a white SUV found burning in South Surrey about 25 minutes later is believed to have been the getaway vehicle. Jang said the short-

est route between Market Crossing and where the vehicle was found burning in the 2500 block of 18th Avenue in Surrey would include highways 91 and 99 and 16th Avenue. “If you were driving along that route (on May 13) and you have dashcam video … we need you to check that footage and we need you to contact us right away. It’s crucial evidence and we need it,” Jang said. The Market Crossing attack, which reportedly saw Cactus Club patrons dive for cover behind flipped tables, is the latest

in a spate of public shootings around the Lower Mainland linked to an ongoing gang conflict. Toni Dalipi, 19, was shot to death outside a vape store on Sixth Street on May 8. De la Gorgendiere said Burnaby RCMP planned to redeploy resources to bolster its anti-gang efforts, adding two more officers to its 13-member gang team. He said other teams with an interest in gangs, such as the community response team and drug squad, will also be involved in trying to head off more

gang violence. “We prepare for the worst and we hope for the best...We do not want to see another violent incident,” De la Gorgendiere said. Burnaby RCMP, IHIT, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (the province’s anti-gang squad) and other police agencies are sharing an “immense amount of intelligence and information” about gangs and the gang conflict, according to De la Gorgendiere, but he admitted local police had had no information about the Market Crossing

shooting. “It was a reactive approach to the last shooting,” he said. “We weren’t there at the time, and we didn’t have any information to say that this was going to occur.” De la Gorgendiere said the Lower Mainland has seen deadly gang conflicts before, including in the early 2000s, and they are not an “overnight fix.” Besides redeploying officers to the gang team, he said Burnaby RCMP is also in close communication with the province’s anti-gang agency to work out Burnaby’s role in a regional strategy to combat gang activity and violence. About 64% of the people involved in Burnaby RCMP gang investigations are from outside of Burnaby, according to De la Gorgendiere. Mayor Mike Hurley said Burnaby is a safe community and called the recent escalation in gang violence “completely unacceptable.” “I know I speak for our city council when I say that city hall is here to support the police in any way we can,” Hurley said. “We will continue to work hard to ensure the feeling of safety that is so important

No shots ﬁred in rollover crash, say police Cornelia Naylor

No shots were fired in relation to a rollover crash in Burnaby last week, according to police. Burnaby RCMP dispatched 10 cars to the area of Kingsway and Stride Avenue shortly before 11 p.m. on May 12, after getting reports of possible shots fired, according to media spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj. He said there had also been reports of a fight and someone being held to the ground.

In the end, however, police found only a serious rollover crash involving a single vehicle. Firefighters responding to the crash got a “wait order,” according to assistant fire Chief Greg Young, and cut a person out of the vehicle once police had determined there was no threat of gunfire in the area. BC Ambulance paramedics took a 23-year-old man to hospital in “serious condition,” according to BC Emergency Health Services.

Arrest made in hit-andrun death of BSSS grad Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 19-year-old Vancouver man is facing charges in relation to the March 26 hit-and-run that killed 19-year-old Burnaby South Secondary School grad Damien Seguin. Burnaby RCMP officers arrested the suspect at his Vancouver residence on May 12 and seized the vehicle believed to have been involved in the fatal crash, according to a police news release. Charges will be forwarded to the B.C. Prosecution Service, and the investigation is ongoing, the release said. Emergency crews were called to Macpherson Avenue and Marine Drive at about 12:20 a.m. on March 26 for a report of a pedestrian-involved collision, according to police reports at the time. At the scene, they found a 19-year-old male, later identified as Seguin, who had been hit by a car. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries but died several days later. Police later said it appeared there had been a confrontation between people from three different vehicles before the crash. “At one point, pepper spray was deployed. Shortly thereafter, our 19-year-old victim exited one of these vehicles, at which point he was struck by the suspect vehicle,” RCMP Cpl. Brett Cunningham said in an earlier news release. That vehicle immediately fled the scene, according to police. A golf club was also recovered at the scene.

Citynow Workers being killed by drivers

Continued from page 1 She said drivers’ “complacency,” an expectation that nothing terrible will happen if they drive dangerously or don’t pay attention, poses the greatest risk to roadside workers. After that, she lists distracted driving and excessive speeding. Desmond said the Cone Zone campaign is a way to raise awareness. “The primary purpose of it is to bring the attention of the driver to the fact that we exist and we’re on the road,” she said. “We’re hoping that they can acknowledge us as humans and recognize that we’re just here trying to do our work, and we’re here to get them through as safely as possible and as quickly as possible.” Davies said the Cone Zone campaign is making a difference in terms of educating people but more action is needed.

“We need to do more enforcement, and we do the best that we can with the resources that we have,” he said. He said he’d also like to see fines adjusted to reflect the level of risk involved in certain traffic offences, like excessive speeding and driving without due care and attention as compared

to something like failing to produce a driver’s licence. Last year, 23 workers were hit by vehicles, according to WorkSafeBC Between 2011 and 2020, 12 roadside workers died and 207 were injured after being hit. For more information, visit www.conezonebc. com.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

BC Liberals face a dire future

The already rocky road facing the BC Liberals as its members try to rebuild may be about to get even rockier. The process to update the electoral map is about to begin, and the independent commission tasked with overseeing it has the ability to add a maximum of six ridings and eliminate some ridings covering more sparsely populated areas of the province. This one-two punch has potentially dire implications for the BC Liberals. The party has lost significant support during the past few years in some of the fastest-growing areas of the province – Metro Vancouver suburbs and Vancouver Island – and thus finds itself with a caucus dominated by upcountry MLAs. If six more seats – the final number may not be this high – are added, they will likely be located in the areas where the NDP is strongest. And if any seats are eliminated, that may come at the expense of the BC Liberals, although the NDP could impacted as well. A key difference in this redistribution exercise from previous ones is the commission will not be shackled by a rule that previously was used to protect regional ridings.That rule stipulated there could be no reduction of seats in the Cariboo-Thompson, Columbia-Kootenays or northern parts of the province. With that rule now eliminated, a number of those ridings may be on the chopping block.There are 17, and the BC Liberals hold 12 of them. It all comes down to population. Some of the ridings in the north and the Kootenays have a much smaller pool of voters to elect MLAs. Nechako Lakes, for example, has 17,000 voters, while some Surrey,

Vancouver and Okanagan ridings have more than 45,000 voters. The commission will use a “25% rule” that stipulates no riding can deviate more than 25% from the provincial average of riding populations. However, there is one exception to this rule, which may well end up preserving some of the ridings with smaller populations. “The commission may exceed the 25% deviation principle if it considers it necessary for effective representation,” Attorney-General David Eby told the legislature when he recently introduced the legislation (redistribution occurs by law after every second provincial election). So it may well end up being the case that a number of rural ridings will be protected, but it also appears likely that several will disappear or be absorbed into neighbouring ones. Will the two Peace River ridings be combined into one? Will the two Cariboo ridings also be combined? It is not entirely bad news for the BC Liberals. The fast-growing population in the Okanagan – the party’s traditional base of power – may result in it being awarded another seat. And the NDP hold on some ridings – such as North Coast and Stikine – may be vulnerable to changes because of their smaller populations. The commission has to weigh the need to find ways to better represent the high-growth regions while at the same time protecting the regional interests of the province. It will be a tricky balancing act, and it is one the political parties will be watching with great interest, as the implications of what comes of this exercise could have a huge impact on the next election. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should the province bail out the PNE? “It’s such a part of our history, we can’t lose it.”

“Put the money to better use.Turn the PNE into a park or something.”

Crash delays SkyTrain work

A costly setback delayed construction of Metro Vancouver’s new Advanced Light Rapid Transit system (now known as SkyTrain) by a week in January. A $50,000 100-tonne concrete beam suspended between two cranes broke away and crashed several metres to the ground. The mishap occurred on the Burnaby section of the project at MacPherson Avenue and Beresford Street. The new transportation system was scheduled to begin operating in 1986, in time for Expo 86.

Opinionnow Bears are misunderstood Editor: My work with bears often puts me in a position where I feel the need to speak out. I have spent much of my life learning about bears from bears and will happily spend the rest of my life teaching people about what bears have taught me. Recently, the Conservation Officer Service set a trap for a young bear. The COS are not bear experts. By reaching out, they could have learned more about this bear, but sadly they choose not to. The bears who live in and around our communities typically are the more vulnerable population. That could include a mother and her offspring, a young or an old bear, or it could be a sick or injured bear looking for a safe place to heal. Rarely are these bears aggressive but instead trusting in our presence for a time. As a bear viewing guide on land, every year I experience bears using my presence or the presence of my group for safety from other bears. I consider it an honour to help these animals out during the time of crisis. Like us, bears are complex and live a complex life. We do not always consider who these animals are and what motivates them. We do not always think that a bear has a story. I can say in my experience, they have a story, and it is not only food and safety that motivate bears,

but they are socially motivated as well. I have noticed through my time spent in the field that bears are very committed to family and to their friendships. They also have enemies in the bear communities in which they live. Bears have a complex system of the delivery of both punishment and reward. They have culture and hold close important knowledge and traditions that have been passed on to them from previous generations. Many people have watched as mother bears teach their offspring skills and understandings which, in turn, give these young bears a higher chance for survival. Bears learn well, and they never forget. Their knowledge of their past dictates their actions in the future. They know who they can trust and who they cannot. They know where they are safe and where they are not. In the end, when we hear phrases like “a fed bear is a dead bear” or label bears as “food-conditioned,” these words misrepresent bears completely as it suggests these animals are simple and cannot learn boundaries and limitations. “Habituation” is a troublesome label for a bear. Bears did not evolve to be a fearful animal. Running away in fear is not what bears do by nature. They evolved to be easy, social and, yes, very predictable animals. By nature, bears are trusting of their human community, and that is why they live here. Ellie Lamb

Police are looking for help finding a man involved in an alleged indecent act at a Burnaby park earlier this month. On May 5, officers responded to a report of a man committing an indecent act in the trails at Byrne Creek Ravine Park near Southpoint Drive, according to a Burnaby RCMP news release. The man was allegedly seen masturbating in the area at approximately 1:30 p.m., the release said. In April, police received a report of a man standing off the trail in the same area exposing his genitals. It’s unknown at this time if the two incidents are linked, according to Burn-

Citynow Ramadan food drive rakes in food, donations Ismaili Muslim community’s effort brings in 8,000 pounds of food and more than $17,000 Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Lower Mainland Ismaili Muslim community blew its goals “out of the park” during a Ramadan food drive and fundraiser for area food banks, including the Burnaby-based Greater Vancouver Food Bank, this year. Ismaili CIVIC – a Canadian Ismaili Muslim initiative dedicated to community service – has run fundraisers and food drives to support local food banks for about 15 years, usually during traditional times of Muslim celebration like Ramadan, Eid and Navroz. The organization’s goal for a Ramadan food drive this year was to collect 3,000 pounds of food and $7,500 in donations. “We blew that out of the park,” Ismaili CIVIC lead for B.C. Sophie Shivji told the NOW. By the last day on May 12, volunteers had collected 8,000 pounds of food and $17,601. Since the Ismaili community’s places of prayer – or jamatkhana – are closed because of COVID-19, Shivji said Ismaili CIVIC partnered with a number

of Save-On-Foods stores that put out collection bins during the month of Ramadan from April 12 to May 12. Ismaili CIVIC also hosted a drive-thru donation day on May 8 at seven jamatkhanas, including two in Burnaby . Among the donations were 250 food items and $150 in cash collected by about 20 Cub Scouts whose troop meets at the Burnaby Lake Jamatkhana. Adam Mohamed, 10, encouraged each member of his troop to donate as many food items as they were years old. “I was hoping that it would work, and it came this far,” Mohamed told the NOW. “I’m really happy that my fellow Cubs helped me get this much money and food for the people who don’t have it.” The Greater Vancouver Food Bank supports 8,500 people each month through its direct distribution and another 14,000plus people through its 100 community agency partners in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore. The organization is currently distributing 275,000

PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR pounds more food each month than it did at the same time last year, according to communications officer Jodie Ou. Manager of community events and engagement Terra Paredes said the Ismaili CIVIC food drive will help, and the food bank will be able to stretch its cash donation into about $35,000 of buying power for fresh foods and other items in short supply. “I just can’t say enough about how valuable this

is,” Paredes said. Shivji said her community is happy to help, and a Ramadan food drive just makes sense. “The month of Ramadan is not only a month of prayer and introspection for us but also a month of volunteerism and exercising our core values of caring for the community,” she said. Feeding the hungry: Adam Mohamed, 10, and his Burnaby Lake Jamatkhana Cub Scout troop collected 250 food items and $150 in cash for the Ismaili CIVIC Ramadan Food Drive. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Citynow Young dancer gives back to hospital

MEASURE

Twelve-year-old Burnaby dancer Anthony Juo is not only making a name for himself on stage, he’s making a difference in his community one day at a time. Juo learned the importance of community health-care quite young, when his grandfather was rushed to Burnaby Hospital after falling ill during a visit to Canada. Luckily, the doctors were able to stabilize him, saving his life, which allowed him to return home to Taiwan where he was able to spend his final days before he succumbed to cancer. Juo says that, at the time, “I didn’t understand what was going on, but now that I’m older, I understand that if it weren’t for the gracious act of those doctors and their excellent treatment, I wouldn’t have been able

to spend that one extra month with him. Even if one month doesn’t seem like a big difference, it was the greatest gift I could’ve asked for.” When he isn’t dancing, singing or hanging out with friends, Juo collects donations for Burnaby Hospital with hopes that the contributions will provide other families with the same gift his was given: the gift of quality care, close to home. Selflessly, Juo recently donated his birthday money totalling $300, which was received in place of presents. “I think it’s important to support Burnaby Hospital because it’s a very important part of our community,” Juo said. “If we didn’t have a hospital here in our community, people would have to take a longer trip to get to a hospital for their treatment.

times those couple of minutes can be life-changing, especially for those in critical states, like my grandpa. If we did not make it in time, he could have lost his life. I am, and will continue to be forever grateful to Burnaby Hospital for saving his life and for saving so many others.” Juo thanks everyone who has contributed to help the hospital.

“Your donation could have been the most gracious act you’ve done so far, for you might’ve been someone’s saviour,” he said. “If we have money to spare, we should have the heart to share it, because helping one another is what makes us human.” To learn about how you can get involved visit bhfoundation.ca.
