Zombie attack
Fireworks still up for sale in city
Living dead:
They may be just a little bit cuter than your average, run-ofthe-mill zombies. Drama students from the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts were among those who joined in the fun of a community “zombie attack” on the Shadbolt Centre on Saturday, Oct. 25, in honour of Halloween.
Cayley Dobie staff reporter
As ghouls, goblins and other creatures prepare to roam the streets of Burnaby Friday night, police officers and firefighters will be keeping a close eye on Halloween celebrations taking advantage of the city’s one-nightonly fireworks policy. Every year around mid-October, fireworks shops start cropping up in empty commercial spaces all over the city. With flashy, oversized signs posted on the storefronts, the businesses are hard to miss. Burnaby is one of only a few remaining municipalities in the Lower Mainland that still allows the sale of fireworks during the Halloween season. Fireworks can

City launches federal appeal on NEB ruling Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
The City of Burnaby is appealing a National Energy Board order that allows Kinder Morgan to survey Burnaby Mountain for a new pipeline route, against the city’s wishes. The appeal is the latest development in a long legal battle between the City of Burnaby and Kinder Morgan, which wants to run the pipeline through the
conservation area but must first survey the land to see if the route is feasible. “We want to strike down the NEB ruling altogether,” said the city’s lawyer Greg McDade. “We think this is a matter that has to be decided by a higher court.” McDade said the appeal will be filed with the Federal Court of Appeal sometime this week and that the city and mayor are “leaving no stone unturned” in their efforts to protect the conservation area. Kinder Morgan plans to resume work
on Wednesday. An interim order could take some time, McDade explained, and the only thing now standing in the company’s way is a handful of protesters keeping watch on the mountain. “In the meantime, this is up to the citizens. The NEB order binds Burnaby, but it doesn’t bind anyone else,” McDade said. Last Thursday, the National Energy Board issued the order, which means the city cannot stop Kinder Morgan from working on the mountain, even though it’s

municipal land and Burnaby is opposed to the expansion. Mayor Derek Corrigan was not surprised by the news and said the NEB process was deeply flawed. “It’s not surprising they will attempt to extend their authority to run our city,” he said. Stephen Collis, an SFU English professor opposed to the pipeline, told the NOW there are two phone trees of people who are Pipeline Page 8

WHERE THEY STAND ON THE PIPELINE:
Corrigan steadfastly against pipeline, while Hancott reserves judgment Jacob Zinn staff reporter
Election Day is less than three weeks away, and the race is on for Burnaby’s mayoral hopefuls, who are voicing their opinions on some of the city’s biggest concerns. The NOW asked Burnaby’s mayoral candidates where they stand on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion – the top issue in our reader survey –and what conditions would need to be met to make it appropriate for the city. Mayor Derek Corrigan’s antipipeline stance has been well publicized, and it was abundantly clear by his email response that his stance has not changed. “We are not prepared to accept the Kinder Morgan expansion with or without conditions,” wrote Corrigan. “But if the National

Energy Board allows the expansion over our objections, we will ensure Burnaby’s interests and the interests of its citizens. “There is no requirement for us to reach conditional agreements with Kinder Morgan.” Burnaby First Coalition’s leader Daren Hancott, on the other hand, took a more middle-of-theroad approach in an effort to represent the diverse views of his coalition. “We have people in our group that support it and we have people in our group that don’t support it,” he said. “The issue is, is it good enough for Burnaby and is there enough jobs for the risk that we’re taking, and the answer is I
don’t know.” He also noted that out of several thousand residents who he’s spoken to through door-knocking, the pipeline has only been brought up six times. “If that was a big issue, an election issue, I’d be hearing it a lot more,” he said. “There’s some smoldering things going on there, but it’s not the fire Mr. Corrigan wants to make it out to be.” Other mayoral candidates, however, sided with Corrigan: former school trustee Helen Chang and ex-mayoral candidate Sylvia Gung both stated they are opposed to the pipeline. “They have to make sure their pipeline expansion project installs
all safety measures that could control/stop any unexpected disaster quickly and let the public know their response protocol in advance,” wrote Chang regarding her conditions for the expansion. Gung said there are other priorities that need to be addressed before going after the pipeline. “We have to do the first thing first, which involves settling the prices of goods and services so that the poor can recover some hope, clearing corruption, and balancing our broken education,” she wrote. “Without these done first, or at the least start working on it first, all the new development brings further destruction because there is no back up power whatsoever.” Candidates Raj Gupta and Allen Hutton did not respond by press time. jzinn@burnabynow.com

First brochures at public libraries, now bike racks and bus shelters. The Burnaby Citizens Association is under fire for another apparent breach of the city’s sign bylaw. The Burnaby First Coalition recently issued a press release criticizing the incumbent party for its political advertising on city property, namely at bus stops, on transit vehicles and along sidewalks and boulevards. “The blatant bylaw hypocrisy here is a sign – pardon the pun – of this democratic deficit,” said BFC mayoral candidate Daren Hancott in the statement. “We call on the mayor to show some respect for the rule of law by either following or scrapping this undemocratic bylaw immediately.” Prior to the 2011 election, TEAM Burnaby brought up the

issue of the signage placement as the BCA’s signs popped up on privately owned bike racks and recycling containers. At the time, the city was also taking ownership of all city bus shelters after deciding not to renew an advertising contract with Pattison Outdoor. However, Doug Louie, assistant director of engineering with the city’s traffic and parking departments, said Pattison still controls that ad space. “The bus shelters are cityowned, but the advertising is contracted out to an advertising company – Pattison, in this case – and they manage all the advertising,” he said. “It is third-party advertising through Pattison.” Likewise, the advertising on bike racks and recycling containers is handled by third-party groups, making it separate from the city’s sign bylaw.

Celebrate with a bang: Burnaby residents can get fireworks for Halloween at this store on Hastings Street.
Fireworks: Downturn in problems continued from page 1
be sold between Oct. 25 and 31 each year, according to the Burnaby fire services bylaw. This year, the fire department issued 19 vendors permits to sell fireworks and there are five additional permits pending. While there has been talk in recent years of banning the sale of fireworks (the most recent was at a March 18, 2013 council meeting after the Heights Merchants Association sent a letter to council voicing its concerns about the fly-by-night fireworks stores’ signage) the city has continued to allow the sale of fireworks, often saying a ban wouldn’t necessarily mean the end of fireworks in Burnaby. Both the Burnaby Fire Department and RCMP say fireworks aren’t as big of a problem as they once were. Greg Mervin, the Burnaby Fire Department’s chief fire prevention officer, said there’s been a noticeable downturn in fireworks-related problems in the past few years and this year is shaping up to be no different. “We’ve had no issues yet this year,” he told the NOW. In the event fireworks are set off before Oct. 31, it is within the jurisdiction of the Burnaby RCMP to handle any complaints that come in. If officers determine fireworks are being set off on a day other than Halloween, the fireworks are seized. So far this year, however, there have been no significant problems or complaints, according to Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis. Buis said he’s noticed far fewer fireworks set off across the Lower Mainland
compared to a decade ago, but with Halloween happening on a Friday this year it could mean a resurgence of the popular pyrotechnic displays. Whether the decline means the regulations laid out in the bylaw are discouraging people from buying and using fireworks, it’s hard to say – the city’s last report on the sale of fireworks was completed in 2012 and nothing new has been published on the subject since then. Across the border in New Westminster, the sale of fireworks has been banned for 10 years following city council’s outcry that fireworks were causing “havoc” in neighbourhoods. At the height of the issue in 2003, the police department recorded 128 fireworks-related complaints. But the ban doesn’t prohibit residents from setting off fireworks on Halloween. According to the city’s fire protection bylaw, from 4 p.m. on Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 at 12 a.m. residents in the Royal City are allowed to set off low-hazard fireworks, including pin-wheels, golden rain, lawn lights, showers and fountains and volcanoes. Roman candles and firecrackers are banned in New West. Burnaby and New Westminster require that all fireworks discharged on Halloween are done so by an adult 18 years or older and on private property with the owner’s consent. In either city, residents can detonate fireworks on days other than Halloween (for celebration purposes) as long as they apply for a permit through the local fire department.

Fear shouldn’t curb civil liberties IN THE HOUSE
O
Keith Baldrey
ther than the installation of a screening device (to be used only at certain times), I don’t expect there to be many changes to security at the B.C. legislature, even in the wake of last week’s terrible events on Parliament Hill. And that’s the way things should be. The murder of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo while he kept watch at the National War Memorial was unspeakably evil and tragic, and it understandably sent shockwaves across the country. But the killing was the work of a drug addict whose life had unravelled and was spinning out of control. The tragedy was not the result of state-sponsored terrorism or a jihad but was instead an awful example of an individual running amok. And so this horrible episode should not be an excuse for curbing civil liberties or encroaching on the freedom of the general public. Instead, it should compel governments to take more action when it comes to fighting drug addiction or dealing with mental health
issues. That’s not to say there isn’t a need to re-examine security levels, where appropriate. There appears to be little doubt the whole episode revealed some serious security flaws on Parliament Hill, but they don’t exist in the same manner at the B.C. legislature. For example, the killer on Parliament Hill was able to run down a hallway that allowed access to the caucus rooms of two political parties, which potentially made him a menace to the prime minister. But at the B.C. legislature, the caucus offices of both major parties are inaccessible to the public. In fact, half of the main building is already off-limits to the public, and so are both annexes (one houses the government caucus, while the other is the premier’s office). The back half of the building (which includes the legislative chamber itself, as well as the library and various cabinet and caucus offices) is accessible only through an electronic pass card, which is issued only to staff and occasionally to approved visitors. The front part of the building, where the public is free to roam, also includes offices, but every one of them is behind a door that is locked 24 hours a day. As well, there are at least several security guards in sight at all Security Page 7
from behind their masks, and ensure that their costumes keep them visible on the sidewalks and especially on the crosswalks – which they should always use instead of jaywalking and darting through traffic. In fact, it may be difficult with all the excitement of the evening, but try to slow those kids down a bit. Help motorists by mitigating the distractions of ghosts and ghouls jumping in and out of their headlights. And if you’re going to have a fireworks display – follow the city’s rules.
They are there to help protect you. Only trick-or-treat at homes where you are welcome – porch lights or lit pumpkins and decorations make the invitation obvious, while darkness is a clear indication that the homeowners don’t share your Halloween enthusiasm. And kids, don’t dig into that windfall of candy until it has been inspected by an adult. Unfortunately, over the years, it has become quite clear that, although rare, some of Halloween’s monsters are real.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Safety is a worry in Highgate Dear Editor:
I too am concerned about the safety of my neighbourhood, the Highgate area, which I have lived in for five years. Twice I have phoned the traffic department and have been told they are aware of the problem. The corners of Arcola and Walker, Arcola and Hall, and Arcola and Salisbury all require four-way stop signs and painted crosswalks. This area is extremely busy at all hours of the day. Just north of the new Edmonds Community Centre there is a brand new intersection at Fulton and Vista with stop signs and a painted crosswalk on all four sides. This is a very low traffic and pedes-
trian area. I do not want to detract from the safety of this area, but Highgate has a very high population density with the many highrises in the area and a large shopping centre which attracts people. Surely the people of Highgate deserve to be safe, too. Pat Greenfield, Burnaby

to pay for hospitals they, like our mayor and council, would be advocating for secondary resource jobs in Canada instead of supporting the “extract and export Canada’s resources expediently” agenda of our current federal government. Canadian jobs mean Canadian income taxes, which pay for Canadian hospitals. Just ask employees at the Burnaby Chevron refinery who, if the pipeline goes through, may be out of work if Kinder Morgan starts piping bitumen instead of semi-refined oil to our coast. I hope that when the Burnaby Board of Trade does the math that they’ll see Kinder Morgan’s plans to triple pipeline capacity will steal jobs from Canadians, further undermining our ability to pay for universal healthcare and vital infrastructure.

City hall needs to help out
Dear Editor:
Re: Just get us some sidewalks already, Burnaby NOW, Opinion, Oct. 24. Burnaby is more than one hundred years old or more than one year old? I hope every candidate for the coming election knows the answer. Burnaby is in the central location of Greater Vancouver with beautiful Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake, but looks like
an undeveloped rural county. It is so bad that lots of neighborhoods still have no sidewalks. According to city hall, property owners should pay for the necessary infrastructure. But the problem is some property owners don’t have extra money; some don’t care because they don’t live there. So city hall has an excuse to ignore the infrastructure. My question is, why can’t city hall use property tax to build sidewalks? Yes, it is shameful that Burnaby is a city known for its vast financial reserves and yet distinctive lack of sidewalks. I agree that if Mayor Corrigan and his BCA continue to be unwilling to do so, then it’s time to elect someone who actually will. We just want to make Burnaby a better place to live.
times, and a series of surveillance cameras keep track of everything happening outside, on the legislature grounds. That screening device will be installed in the basement, and the public will have to enter the building after passing through this machine – but likely only on days when the legislature is sitting (a metal detector already exists for those wanting to sit in the public gallery to watch a legislature sitting). In other words, not a lot of change to security is likely needed, nor expected. There is a review under way of existing security measures, but hopefully it concludes that the openness of the “people’s house” takes precedence over any major clampdown on freedom of

Dear Editor:
I cannot believe the hypocrisy of Burnaby council re: Elias Ishak’s signs and Corrigan’s brochures (with picture) placed in Burnaby libraries. Has he been in office too long? Also, are the last-minute mayorality candidates toadies (Corrigan’s word) for him, to split the vote and ensure his reelection. Is he afraid he will also lose his free golf for him and his cronies?
movement. But this focus on security reviews is somewhat misplaced. The Parliament Hill shooter was addicted to crack cocaine, and he actually committed a previous crime (a robbery) in order to be thrown in jail, where he thought he would have an opportunity to be treated for his addiction. Instead, he was released from jail after just one day in custody. The fact he began to immerse himself in radicalized Islam is indeed part of the narrative here, but only part of it. The shooter appears to have become isolated, angry, frustrated and desperate. This in no way excuses his monstrous crime, of course, but it is foolish to think that simply hiring

more security guards or installing more surveillance cameras is the proper way to deal with someone in his situation. By all means, Canada has to be vigilant to the reality of the modern world when it comes to fighting terrorism. But we must also be more proactive when it comes to preventing drug addiction and treating mental health issues. If we don’t, we may witness other shocking, horrible events like last week’s tragedy in Ottawa.

One group is mostly BROKE members (Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion), while the others he calls “caretakers” or “citizen rangers,” but the overall group is “large.” “People are willing to be obstacles, even if that means risking arrest,” Collis said. Alan Dutton, a member of BROKE, said a small group has been monitoring the area for some time. “We have been mobilizing and training people for the last three weeks or so, and we are ready.

THE PIPELINE
Kinder Morgan wants to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs oil from Alberta to Burnaby. The route in Burnaby will go through new territory, and the company wants to drill or tunnel through Burnaby Mountain. Kinder Morgan started survey work already but stopped when the City of Burnaby ticketed the company for cutting trees in a public park. The National Energy Board Act allows companies to conduct survey work and build pipelines on Crown land and private property without the owners’ permission, but this case with Burnaby was the firstever conflict involving a municipal land.

Signs: Election signs can be on public boulevards with ‘prior consent’ continued from page 3
“It’s not your typical election signs that we associate with our bylaw – the bylaw we have that regulates that actually pertains to what we call the lawn signs or temporary billboard signs, and those can’t be located on city

that the bylaw allows for election signage on public property under certain conditions. According to the bylaw, political signs are not permitted on public boulevards “without prior the consent of city council and the written agreement of the appli-
cant to remove the signs within three days after the campaign, drive or event has concluded.” “As indicated, and underlined for reference, Section 9 (iii) specifically allows for the display of political or election temporary signs which are lawfully

Teachers snub independent candidate Teachers’ association says candidate’s views weren’t why he was left out of meeting Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
The Burnaby Teachers’ Association invited all but one school board candidate to a get together with local teachers recently. Independent candidate Elias Ishak was left out in the cold. “I was informed by another school trustee candidate who expected to see me there,” Ishak told the NOW in an email. The UBC sociology student, whose platform includes doing away with compulsory education, called the move “petty.” Local teachers’ union president Rae Figursky, however, said the

said. He said he believes he wasn’t invited because he “speaks truth to power,” and the union didn’t want to hear what he had to say. “I expect this sort of thing,” Ishak said, “and I don’t blame the president. It’s not her fault. It’s the fault of our cowardly political culture, which she has to conform to.” The local teachers union has since sent Ishak a questionnaire to fill out, and his answers will be included in information the teachers’ association sends out about candidates to its members and to teachers from other districts who live in Burnaby.

Horrors in Burnaby:
From left, Justin Szabo, Francesco Quarto and Anthony Rossello inside the Quarto family haunted house at 4260 Dundas St. The annual display, open Oct. 30 and 31, includes actors, props, lighting and music.
North Burnaby family turns their home into a house of horrors for Halloween Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
When it comes to decorating for Halloween, the Quarto family leaves no ghastly piece of earth unturned at their Burnaby home on Dundas Street. Husband-and-wife team Sandra and Tony handle the front-yard decorations, while their 28-year-old son Francesco amasses a small army of friends to turn the backyard into a Halloween display of monstrous proportions. The Dundas Nightmare, as Francesco calls it, is 1,500 square feet of haunted horrors, with 10 rooms, live actors, lights, props, fog machines and music. “We’ve got the whole nine yards,” Francesco said. “It’s a “We’ve got little eerie. Definitely there’s a the whole nine lot of anticipation as to what’s yards. It’s a little going to be around the corner.” There are rooms, dark halleerie. Definitely ways, a torture chamber, a butcher shop and frights coming from there’s a lot of the least expected places. An anticipation as estimated 150 hours of labour to what’s going went into the display. “It’s a little different this year. to be around the We always try to add some new corner.” things,” Francesco said. “This is the best year yet, and we have FRANCESCO QUARTO a little surprise for the public Dundas Street resident in the last room of this year’s haunted house.” The suggested age of entry is 12 or 13 years, but Francesco said he leaves it up to the parents’ discretion. The actors can also tone the fear factor down if there are small children who want to go through the display, he explained. “We want everyone to have that experience and enjoy it and not terrify children,” he said. The Quartos’ annual display started eight years ago, with Francesco’s love of horror as an inspiration, and three years ago, the family started collecting donations to B.C. Children’s Hospital. In 2013, they collected more than $1,000 for the hospital, and this year, the goal is $2,000. (At press time, the family had raised more than $500 online.) The Quarto family home is at 4260 Dundas St. The display is open on Oct. 30, from 6 to 10 p.m., and on Friday, Oct. 31 (Halloween) from 6 p.m. till late, depending on attendance. There is candy for trick-or-treaters at the front of the house, and there will also be hot chocolate available. For more information or to make a donation, go to dundasnightmare.com. “We’re really trying to encourage people to even put in a dollar towards this good cause,” Francesco said.

Firefighters tops at boot campaign Cayley Dobie staff reporter
For the seventh year in a row Burnaby firefighters proved they can shake their boots like no other. The local fire department, which was recently honoured at Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s firefighters awards banquet, raised $45,000 for the charity during its 2013 Fill the Boot drive, earning the award for top single boot drive in B.C. “It just speaks of the pride that our department has in muscular dystrophy,” said Derek Cousins, a Burnaby firefighter and one of the organizers of the annual event. “Everybody supports it; everybody is out there.” The Fill the Boot event raises money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s various provincial chapters. The funds raised go towards research into the disease and equipment for those already diagnosed. To be able to support an organization that helps people who aren’t able to do many of the things firefighters are lucky enough to be able to do, is a great thing, Cousins added. “Firefighters see themselves as more fit individuals, active in exercise, sports, and muscular dystrophy is a disease that affects the lifestyle of the clients so they can’t do any of that stuff,” he said. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disorder often caused by genetic mutations passed down through generations. Most often it affects young children but can also present itself in adults as well, according to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. People diagnosed with the disorder eventually lose muscle strength, leaving them without the ability to do many things most people take for granted, including walking and breathing. Cousins has participated in the Fill the Boot drive every year since becoming a Burnaby firefighter seven years ago, and for the past three years he has sat on the boot drive’s organizing committee overseeing the daylong fundraising event.

Best foot forward: From left, Burnaby firefighters Brent Braeder, Chad Wren and Derek Cousins will be out in November shaking their boots for Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s annual Fill the Boot drive fundraiser. Burnaby was recently honoured for raising the most money in a single event after raising $45,000 in the 2013 fundraiser. This is the seventh year in a row the department has topped the list of fundraisers. “For the boot drive, it’s not mandatory but it kind of goes without saying that everybody does do it, and all the time out there on the street is volunteer,” he said. Starting at 5 p.m. on Nov. 21 and running until about 6 p.m. on Nov. 22, Burnaby firefighters will turn up the heat
once again for the 2014 Fill the Boot drive. Cousins said he hopes the department will continue to raise top dollars for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. “We only have the intention to try and make it better and just continue to raise funds,” Cousins said.

Angelo named to Fraser River Hall of Fame Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
Burnaby’s Mark Angelo, a world-renowned conservationist, is the newest inductee into the Fraser River Discovery Centre’s hall of fame. Angelo, the founder of World Rivers Day, told the Burnaby NOW he feels honoured and thinks highly of the centre’s work. “They do so much to create a greater awareness of the importance of the Fraser,” he said. The centre chose Angelo because of his decades of work advocating for the waterway. Nearly four decades ago, he kayaked the 1,375-kilometre river from Mount Robson to the Lower Mainland. He was floored by the beauty, from lowlands and eddies
full of fish, to whitewater canyons and the basin. “I was just taken aback by the beauty and the incredible cultural values, the incredible natural values,” he said. “It’s an Eden in our midst.” That trip was his inspiration for starting B.C. Rivers Day, a celebration of the province’s rivers, which is now recognized around the world. According to Angelo, the Fraser has more than 30 species of fish and the largest run of spawning salmon in B.C. It’s home to the endangered white sturgeon and has also shaped settlement patterns in B.C., as people tend to build close to the river. “I’ve always believed that rivers are the arteries of our planet,” Angelo said. “(The Fraser) is every
bit as diverse as the province it runs through. You see the way it has influence on our economy, on our environment, on our way of life. … Without question it’s one of the world’s great waterways.” That said, the Fraser also faces an array of pressures, Angelo pointed out, from urbanization to pollution and industrial development. Angelo will be honoured at a special ceremony on Nov. 6 at the centre, located on the Quay. Catherine Ouellet-Martin, the centre’s executive director, said the hall of fame is for those who make significant contributions to the Fraser in three areas: industry, social-cultural endeavours and the environment. The centre nominated Angelo because he’s been an articulate defender of the
River champion:

Fraser River and all its values for decades, Ouellet-Martin said. “He’s so passionate it’s infectious,” she added. “Mark is very good at recognizing many values of the Fraser River. It is a very significant ecosystem, … but it’s also an economic river, and the two
values need to co-exist. It’s a very populated river.” Politicians Kathy Corrigan and Fin Donnelly will speak at the Nov. 6 ceremony, which also functions as a fundraiser for the centre. Tickets are available by emailing info@fraserriverdiscovery.org.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, Consultant Marine Development
Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualified local pilots.
• • • • • • • • • •
Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. Marine spill response will be enhanced.

Hall of Fame con’t from cover favourite and an institution in this community. Hart House has always demonstrated strong community values and we are delighted to welcome them into the Hall of Fame.” Located at Deer Lake Park, the Tudorstyle building was designed by architect Frank Macey in the early 1900s. Recognizing that the stately house and grounds presented a unique opportunity to create a premier culinary destination, Hart House Restaurant was opened in 1988 by its original ownership group, which included
current owner Paul Smolen. “We’re delighted to be recognized with this honour,” commented Smolen. “During our 26 years in business we have welcomed guests from around the world, but we never forget that we’re part of the local Burnaby community. We value our relationships with our neighbours, both individuals and businesses.” The Hart House joins a long list of impressive organizations in the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame, including Global BC,
Bosa Properties, Electronic Arts Canada, G&F Financial Group, and last year’s inductee, ABC Recycling. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan welcomed the Hart House into the Hall of Fame on October 9th at a special luncheon at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown. Also at the luncheon, finalists were announced for the Burnaby Business Excellence Awards Gala which occurs on November 6th. For more information visit bbot.ca. ¾

Two major successes for members of the Burnaby Board of Trade By Michael Keller michael@bbot.ca At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting (AGM), held Sept. 27 to 29, 2014 in Charlottetown, P.E.I., the Burnaby Board of Trade, on behalf of its members, submitted two resolutions and co-

Strategic partnerships through sponsorship can be an effective way of promoting your company or brand by supporting programs or events that attract your target market. In sponsorship, a business makes a contribution of cash or in
Is employee stress costing your business? By Angela Rai Would you like to cut costs to your business? Would you like to increase productivity and employee loyalty? Would you like to decrease employee absenteeism and staff turnover? A major Canadian study sponsored by Health Canada involving over 31,000 participants in the private, public, and nonprofits sectors indicates that employees are more stressed than ever before and it is costing us billions of dollars annually. Absenteeism alone is reported to have direct costs of approximately $3 billion annually with estimates of an additional $1.5 to $3 billion worth of indirect costs, according to the study authored in part by noted organizational health pioneer, Dr. Linda Duxbury. When we factor in the costs of various medical services to treat the stress-related illnesses of these overloaded individuals, we add another $5 billion to the equation.
sponsored a third. The first, entitled Senior Global Talent for Key Canadian Industries, dealt with the issue of a skilled workers shortage being the number one barrier to Canada’s economic competiveness. The resolution recommends modifications to the Temporary Foreign Worker program to enable Canadian businesses to more easily source senior expertise not otherwise available locally. The Burnaby Board of Trade also cosponsored a resolution submitted by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, entitled Protecting the National Economy by Managing the Lower Fraser River, which recommends specific steps to ensure the continuous flow of commerce to and from the Asia-Pacific market, and to ensure the sustainability of the Lower Fraser River. We are pleased to report that both the Senior Global Talent and Lower Fraser River
issues are also of importance to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its network of chambers of commerce and boards of trade across Canada. At the AGM, both resolutions were approved by the Canadian Chamber’s members, representing 200,000 Canadian businesses. These resolutions are now formal policy positions of the Canadian Chamber and will be pursued with the federal government over the coming months. A third resolution, although narrowly defeated, addressed the need for a labour market impact assessment exemption for foreign workers in film and television production occupations. The issue remains a major concern for the Burnaby Board of Trade, who will continue to advocate strongly to protect BC and Canada’s film and television industry from the negative impacts of recent federal regulation changes.¾
kind products/services to an event, program or organization, in exchange for associated promotional opportunities. When done effectively, sponsorship allows you to achieve specific business objectives whether it’s to generate sales leads, enhance your business image or demonstrate a commitment to the communities your business operates in. To develop a successful sponsorship program that distinguishes you from competitors and has a positive impact on the bottom line, keep the following points in mind. Make sure the sponsored event, program or organization is compatible with your business image and values and delivers the right target audience. Look for sponsorship opportunities that allow you to meaningfully connect with existing or potential customers. In addition to
being included in promotional materials, opportunities to engage the community at a live event site, provide product samples or involve employee volunteers are among the many tactics that can be employed to drive business and support the community at the same time. There are many opportunities to get involved in Burnaby whether its sponsoring a Board of Trade luncheon or tradeshow or one of the City’s annual community events and programs, like the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival.

These stressed out employees are reporting being overloaded by work and family responsibilities and this work-life imbalance costs employers. Employees experiencing high overload of responsibilities are more likely to: · Report higher levels of job stress and burnout · Have higher rates of absenteeism due to stress, poor physical and mental health, or due to care responsibilities · Have a higher number of visits to health care providers · Report lower job satisfaction and life satisfaction · Think of their employer negatively and be less committed to their organization · Think of leaving their current employer because their work demands are too high, work expectations are too great, want more time with their family, feel their workplace is unsupportive, and/or because of a mismatch of values The Burnaby Board of Trade interviewed some of its members and found many of them are currently practicing work-life balance strategies and are realizing the benefits, yet other members are unconvinced these strategies would benefit their business. Visit the Social Resources section on bbot.ca to get more facts on the benefits and costs
of implementing family-friendly practices in the workplace. Also, check out the BBOT’s own study and find out what other Burnaby organizations are saying on the topic of work-life balance.

Access is sponsored by three of the Lower Mainland’s largest educational institutions; Simon Fraser University, the British Columbia Institute of Technology and Douglas College. Connectors represent a myriad of Burnabybased companies such as IBM, Electronic Arts and Pacific Blue Cross. Even the City is involved, with Mayor Derek Corrigan himself planning to participate for a third year as a Connector. The program runs from October to June.

student career development
ACCESS PHOTOGRAPHY: TOM DAVISON
New students, alumni and Connectors alike gathered at the Burnaby campus of Electronic Arts Canada on October 2nd to welcome the 2014/15 class of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s Access Student Career Development Program. “It was a wonderful experience to have this year’s students, graduates from the past two years and many of our Connectors all under the same roof to network, reconnect and celebrate with each other,” remarked Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) CEO Paul Holden. “It was a great chance to properly introduce our new students into the program
and give them a real sense of what Access is all about.” The Access program was first launched two years ago to help senior post secondary students transition into the workplace and build meaningful relationships with leaders in the business community. The program includes three main components including networking events and workshops. The third component, Connectors, pairs students up with prominent business leaders for casual one-on-one informational meetings, and is the most unique aspect of Access according to Holden. “The Connectors program is really what sets Access apart from other professional development programs,” said Holden. “It improves upon the traditional mentorship concept in two key ways: it’s less time consuming for the Connector – as little as forty-five minutes – and it’s more efficient. At the end of the process students will have made meaningful connections with several senior business leaders rather than just one.” And it seems to be working. Now three years into the program, past participants are reporting back, sharing success stories, and looking to become re-engaged with Access and the BBOT. “Our alumni, for the most part, are doing a great job of staying in touch with their connectors and referrals, and more and more we’re hearing of past students finding

V
olunteers at Confederation Seniors Centre are helping keep others warm this winter. Since 2008, the centre has been hosting Warmer Wednesday, where volunteers gather to knit or crochet items – like scarves, toques and slippers – to give to various charities and non-profits. The volunteers use donated yarn, which comes from a variety of sources. Warmer Wednesdays started in 2008 and has been growing since, according to Lori-Ann Cornwall, a recreation leader at the centre. “Because of the growing popularity of this program, … we have also been able to add to the list of agencies who receive our warmers over the years,” Cornwall said. “Needless to say there is no shortage of people in need so reaching more people is very rewarding.” Volunteers used to start knitting in spring or summer, but Cornwall said several women are now creating items year-round to reach personal targets they’ve set.

Foundation granting wishes for seniors in need W
hat does a dream look like for seniors? For one couple, it was as simple as a date. That’s what the Dream On Seniors’ Wish Foundation granted for Gary and Jen Reynolds of Nanaimo. The wife was living in a care facility fulltime, while the husband was still at home, and he just wanted to take her out on to dinner. The foundation stepped in and had her makeup, hair and nails done and took the two out for a night on the town. “They were so in love,” says Gayla DeHart co-owner of Nurse Next Door, a private home care company and chair of the Dream on Seniors’ Wish Foundation. “They had a wonderful night.” And that’s just one example. Other wishes the
foundation has fulfilled involve visiting long-lost family members or buying new equipment to help with mobility issues. ForBurnaby’sBev Baxter, the foundation teamed up with the Burnaby Interagency Society to help buy her a walker so she could get around. Wendy Scott of Burnaby’s Nurse Next Door said the woman was overjoyed. “She had tears in her eyes. It’s one of those things where you realize: not a very big dream, but you made a very big difference in the life of a senior,” she said. Applicants for the Dream on Seniors’ Wish Foundation must be 65 years or older and in need of extra help, be it emotional, personal or financial. They should also be good
storytellers, as the foundation is hoping to share their experiences. Nurse Next Door launched the foundation last year, but as DeHart tells it, seniors sometimes need extra encouragement to dream. “It’s not as easy as you would think to share their dreams with us. They are thinking about their kids and their grandkids and what does everybody want,” she said. “Dreaming feels like something for the young in a way. We are really trying to inspire people to think about aging in new way.” Seniors can apply to the program themselves, or others can nominate someone with a dream. For more information, go to www.dreamonseniors wish.org.

Help for seniors with developmental disabilities T
here’s a new form of help for older adults with developmental disabilities who are adjusting to life as seniors. The provincial government is piloting the new service, which involves “navigators” partnering with people with developmental disabilities and their families. The navigator’s role is to help that person with one-on-one support. “The new service model helps individuals with developmental disabilities and their families during times of life transition – such as youth to adulthood or moving into their senior years – and links
families with a navigator who coordinates the government services they need, rather than people trying to find their way through complex systems and services alone,” said Don McRae, minister of social development and social innovation, in the media release. For example, the navigator can help someone identify goals and ways of meeting them – like where to live or ideas for keeping busy – assist in developing a plan and co-ordinating the services and supports to make that plan concrete, according to a press release from the provincial
government. “Acting as a one-on-one support for families, the navigator can assume a proactive role in ensuring that all the elements of a person-centred plan are captured in one place,” the release states. “This support is designed to take families through the years where their needs are changing as they age and allow them to have more control over these changes and be proactive about their futures.” Services to Adults with Developmental Disabilities Initiative is spearheading the
project. The initiative is a partnership between various government ministries, Community Living B.C., school districts, health authorities and aboriginal agencies. The Services to Adults with Developmental Disabilities Initiative site in Burnaby started taking referrals in May and is the only early implementation site “prototyping” the new model for older adults, the release states. As of Oct. 16, 14 people have been referred to the new services in Burnaby. The new service model is also
available for youth between the ages of 16 and 24 years transitioning to adulthood in a number of communities including Surrey, the Nanaimo/Courtenay area, the Kamloops/Merritt area and Prince George/Haida Gwaii. Expanded roll out for other areas of B.C. will be considered in the spring 2015. Older adults or their families can find out more by talking to their Community Living B.C. branch or Fraser Health Authority contact, or call 1-855-356-5609. – Source, Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation

House of Night authors at Burnaby signing LIVELY CITY
B
Julie MacLellan
urnaby readers can enjoy Halloween a little bit early, thanks to a visit by some international bestselling authors. P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast will be at Chapters Burnaby tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 29) at 7 p.m. for a book event and signing. They’re coming to town with their latest book, Redeemed, the highly anticipated final novel in the House of Night series. Now, I confess to not being a follower of the vampire novel phenomenon myself, but millions of readers around the world certainly are. The House of Night series – which has been
described as “Twilight meets Harry Potter” – has reached No. 1 on the U.S., German and U.K. bestseller lists, and it has remained a fixture on The New York Times Children’s Series bestseller list for more than 160 weeks. Not to mention the fact that more than 20 million copies of the books are in print. All of which is to say, I’m guessing this visit is going to be a popular one – so you might want to get yourself over to Metropolis at Metrotown to see what all the fuss is about. Check out www. houseofnightseries.com for more.
Expressive arts for women
Here’s a wonderful idea from the Vancouver and Lower Mainland Multicultural Family Support Services Society. The group is offering
a free, six-week group Expressive Arts group for immigrant, refugee and visible minority women. Participants don’t need any previous artistic experience or drawing skills, and a write-up about the group says that it will help with self-care, stress management, building selfawareness and confidence. It runs Mondays from Nov. 3 to Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the society’s Metrotown location. For information and registration, call Weling or Sanaa at 604-436-1025.

The idea behind the performance came out of a CD release concert by Southwell.
“I wanted to let the other musicians that were supporting me in my songs have a moment to highlight their own talents, beyond the role of backup band,” Southwell explained in the release. “It turned out to flow beautifully and effort-
lessly and was a great way to bring everyone together in the moment.” The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $27 to $35, available through 604-2053000 or tickets.shadbolt centre.com.

Crowdfunding campaign helps Cpl. Cirillo’s son
For more photos, scan with Layar
Martha Perkins contributor
In the moments after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing on guard at the National War Memorial, several passersby immediately rushed to his side to perform first aid. One of them was lawyer Barbara Winters. “You are so loved,” she kept telling Cirillo, who was mortally wounded. “We’re all trying to help you.” As she later said to The Globe and Mail, “When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.” Winters’ message is echoed by so many Canadians who have been deeply touched and saddened by his death. There is a terrible irony that Cirillo, a reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, was shot at a sculpture which honours the tremendous sacrifices of the men and women in Canada’s Armed Forces. He was representing all Canadians in paying sol-

emn tribute to the people who have died while protecting and preserving what it means to be Canadian. Cirillo was a single father who was devoted to his sixyear-old son. In honour of all the values that Cirillo stood for, Glacier Media has started a memorial crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca. It raised hundreds of dollars in the first day alone. The money will be
donated to a trust fund for Cirillo’s son as a way to join Winters in saying, “We’re all trying to help you.” To donate to this campaign, go to FundAid.ca and search for We Stand On Guard for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s Son. Glacier Media, the parent company of FundAid and this newspaper, and Fundrazr, its crowdfunding partner, have waived service fees for this campaign.

Royals win PacWest soccer title Tom Berridge
sports editor
The Douglas College Royals are going back to the Canadian Colleges’ soccer nationals for a third straight season. But this time the goal is to come back with the gold. “Every year our goal is gold at the nationals,” said Douglas co-coach Robbie Toor. “In 2012, we dropped the ball, and in 2013 we could have won it but were proud to bring back the bronze medal. “We’re feeling good. The last few weeks, we’ve been playing better.” In fact, the Royals are unbeaten in the month of October, with seven wins and a tie in their last eight league and playoff games. But it took overtime in the semifinals and a shootout win over Vancouver Island University in the gold-medal match to do it. Douglas outscored the regular season champion 4-3 on penalty kicks in the shootout at Quest University on Sunday to win gold. Royals’goalkeeperMarc Mincieli made a stop on a penalty kick attempt, and the fourth VIU shooter hit the post. Sameer Grewal scored the penalty-kick winner for Douglas. Nicolas Pineda Graham got the Royals on board first, finishing off a successful first-half penalty kick set up after Mark Baldisimo made a solo run through the Mariners’ defence before eventually being hauled down in the

Vancouver Island got that goal back in the second half, when PacWest player of the year Victor Blasco converted a penalty kick to send the game into extra time after Mincieli took down Renan Rebelatto. Nothing was decided in extra time. “It was definitely an intense weekend,” Toor said.
The Royals also had to go to overtime in their 20 semifinal win over host Quest on Saturday. Douglas broke the scoreless regulation time matchup with a goal early in the opening extra time. Royals’ substitute Jagpreet Purewal tallied a pair of goals in extra time, including a goal off a great one-on-one effort before slotting the game-winner
top shelf. Purewal put the game away with a late goal off a deflection. The semifinal win guaranteed Douglas a berth at the Canadian Colleges’ national championships to be held in Ontario Nov. 5 to 8. The Royals open the collegiate nationals against host Sheridan College. “We know we play the hosts. We know it’s not
going to be easy,” Toor added. “But we know what we’re capable of.” Prior to the games, Royals Baldisimo, Spencer Deboice and Devin Phelan were named to the PacWest men’s conference all-star team. Third-year midfielder Marni McMillan of Douglas was named the Royals Page 35

Jana set the new school mark with a 97-yard touchdown run, while piling up 419 all-purpose yards for the Knights, including 259 yards on the ground and two scores. He also threw two touchdown passes and accounted for another 160 through the air. ReceiverJ.J.DesLauriers, with 77 yards, caught both TD passes for STM. Shane Noel, with 59 rushing yards, and Andrew Flett also scored TDs for the Knights. Jordan Stewart had an additional 77 yards rushing for STM. The Knights led 21-7 at halftime. “We played much better in the second half,” said STM head coach Bernie Kully. “Mouat came out and played very physical, and we didn’t respond as well as we could have.” Spencer Moore and Ben Steele led the STM defence with eight tackles apiece. Moore also registered a quarterback sack. Robert Erasto chipped in with seven individual tackles, including two sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. The win improved STM’s record to 5-1 in the B.C. high school AAA Eastern conference. Terry Fox leads the conference with a 5-0 mark. “Next week is a big game for us, and we need to have a good week of practice to get ready for a good opponent,” said Kully. The Knights will have their hands full this Friday, when they take to the road to face Lord Tweedsmuir.

A big night: Madeline Hait, centre, had a game-high 14 kills for Simon Fraser University in a 3-0 win over Montana State Billings last week.
Clan women bounce Billings in straight set NCAA VB win Burnaby’s Madeline Hait played errorless volleyball to lead Simon Fraser University to a straight set win over Montana State Billings. The Burnaby Central grad served up a game-high 14 kills as the Clan defeated Billings 26-24, 25-17, 25-12 at home to move into sole possession of fourth place in Great Northwest confererence standings on Saturday. The win came before a large home crowd on the team’s annual Pink Night in support of breast cancer charities. “Everyone on the floor contributed to the cause and our passing and defence
allowed us to run our offence very effectively,” said SFU head coach Gina Schmidt in a school press release. Amanda Renkema and Jessica Young also contributed at the net, posting 10 and eight kills, respectively. Setters Brooklynn Gould-Bradbury and Danielle Curtis recorded 18 assists apiece, while Alison McKay had 19 digs for the 14-6 Clan. This week, SFU is on the road for two key conference matchups, where they face 8-5 Central Washington and leagueleading 12-1 Northwest Nazarene. tberridge@burnabynow.com
Junior world champion Nam Nguyen earned a bronze medal on the first stop of the International Skating Union Grand Prix figure skating circuit. The former Burnaby resident posted a careerbest total score of 232.24 to move up five spots into third place after the free skate at the Skate America competition in Chicago on Saturday. Nguyen, just 16, landed a quadruple Salchow for just the second-ever time in competition, while also landing a pair of triple Axels, including one in combination, and five other triples to record the second highest free-skate score at the Grand Prix event. Nguyen’s short program score of 73.71 was also a personal best, despite only landing him in seventh place. Japan’s Tatsuki Machida won the men’s competition, topping both the short and long programs, with a 269.09 score.

Swimmers set records on NCAA Death March through California Simon Fraser University was at its best against top NCAA Division I and II schools in dual meets in California this past weekend. The Clan set 10 new dual meet marks – three from freshman Adrian VanderHelm – who broke three school records, including standards held by former SFU and national team swimmers David Hibberd and Sandy Henderson. VanderHelm won the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:38.20 and placed second in the 100 free in a school record time of 45.72 against Pacific. He also set a new mark in the 500 free against Santa Cruz. The men’s team set eight new dual meet marks. Freshman Saveli Yungman won the 200yd. butterfly in a time of 1:51.59. Another first-year swimmer, Gabriel Lee, won the men’s 200-yd. backstroke in a record time of 1:50. Junior Justin Kiedrzyn finished runner-up in the 100-yd. fly in a Clan record 50.25. The men’s 1,000 free had two separate record setters. Freshman Tim Woinoski set the new mark against Pacific on Friday
and Youn Ho Choi, also a freshman, then broke it against Santa Cruz on Saturday. The Clan women set new records in the 100-yd. fly and 100-yd. free. Nicole Cossey won the free in 51.42, while fellow senior Alexandria Schofield set the new mark in the fly, placing third in a record time of 56.75. The SFU men won dual meets over Fresno Pacific and the University of California Santa Cruz. The team’s only loss came against Div. I University of the Pacific. The women were 4-4 in dual meets, beating Fresno State, Cal State East Bay and Santa Cruz twice. The multi-meet weekend schedule was reminiscent of the 1970s when hall of fame coaches Margaret and Paul Savage took SFU on what came to be known as the Death March. “We are carrying on the Death March tradition,” said Clan head coach Liam Donnelly. “It was exhausting but the team rose to the occasion.” SFU will host the Clan Cup International meet on Nov. 21 to 23.
