Land of OPPORTUNITY

Bouchra Rafiki and her family moved to Canada from Morocco so her children, including daughter Dooa, could have better educational opportunities.

For Bouchra Raﬁki, who chose to immigrate to Canada from Morocco with her family, the choice was clear. Here, she says, it isn’t just the rich who can live the good life

NEWS BRIEFS A Burnaby man has been arrested in connection with a 1983 U.S. murder after applying for a NEXUS pass. Suhail Shanti, 48, was arrested June 24 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers when he arrived at the Pacific Highway Port of Entry NEXUS office in Blaine, Wash., to register for the border queue-jumping program, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Shanti’s fingerprints were

electronically scanned resulting in the discovery of a warrant for his arrest. Shanti, a Canadian citizen, is a suspect in a 1983 first-degree murder in LeFlore County, Okla. According to media reports, the case involved the murder of a Syrian international student at a college and that, after being charged, Shanti fled to Jordan before his trial. The arrest warrant was immediately confirmed with Oklahoma officials and Shanti was

handcuffed while waiting in the NEXUS office. He was turned over to the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office for extradition back to state custody. “The use of technology in the performance of our mission to protect the American homeland is aiding our border security efforts,” said acting port director Deborah Engels. “Apprehending fugitives who have fled from justice no matter how long ago or far away is an important element in keeping communities safe.”

As NDP industry critic, BurnabyNew Westminster MP Peter Julian called on the federal government Wednesday to hold consultations on the proposed takeover of the Toronto Stock Exchange by the London exchange. “This deal as it stands now is not in the national interest,” said Julian. “We need proper oversight of this deal so Canadians can have conﬁdence that this will truly beneﬁt Canada.”

BURNABY MAN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH 1983 MURDER

In Canada, a better life for their kids By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

rowing up in Morocco, Bouchra Rafiki dreamed of leaving her homeland, largely based on what she saw in American movies. But the Burnaby resident always figured she would head to Europe, as many Moroccans do, which made for quicker trips back home to North Africa for visits. Rafiki’s childhood dreams came true but not perhaps as she envisioned. Her husband, Ebdel Lahsinia, had attended university in the United States on the encouragement of his older sister, who had settled there earlier. When it came time for the newly married couple to decide where to live, it was an easy decision. “When my sister-in-law gave birth in the U.S., she paid a lot of money [in medical bills],” she recalled. Canada, they decided, was

the main things, are almost free here [in Canada].”

a better choice because of its health and education system. Now, 13 years after immigrating to Canada, far from friends and family, she has no regrets. In fact, just the other day she bought a new red blouse to wear on Canada Day. “I don’t wear red, it’s not my favourite colour,” Raﬁki said with a laugh. “But I can sacriﬁce.”

Good family programs

Good social system Unlike many African countries, Morocco is stable and free of political upheaval, Rafiki said. It has public health care and education, including free university, but the difference is in the quality, she said. To attain the same level as Canadians enjoy, Moroccans who can afford to do so will enrol their children in expensive private schools to improve their chances of getting into university. They’ll also go the private health care route where Rafiki said a single visit to a pediatrician in the private system would cost roughly $100 Cdn. Those factors weren’t top of mind when they emigrated to Canada, first to Montreal where their knowledge of French (Morocco

was a French protectorate for many years) made for an easy transition. After they moved to Greater Vancouver, Rafiki said she struggled to learn English at first. She dealt with her first pregnancy away from the support of family and she cried a lot. Eventually, she became homesick to the point that her husband agreed to move back. By then they had two young sons and had attained Canadian citizenship. So

they packed their bags and headed to Casablanca to see if they could make a go of it. Raﬁki said they were there about nine months during which time her husband could get little more than contract jobs that didn’t pay as well as what he earned in Canada. Then they calculated the cost of sending their kids to private school. The numbers didn’t work. “If you have good money, you can have a good life,” she said of Morocco. “At least the education and health care,

BUILDING AN ENDOWMENT FOR STUDENTS

Since their return, she has embraced life in Canada with the help of the parenting and family programs at Burnaby Family Life. She gained confidence with her English, made new friends and now volunteers regularly at the agency. “I feel like I am back home here.” Her family celebrates its Islamic and Muslim customs and traditions and Rafiki makes a point to teach her children, two sons aged 11 and nine, and a four-year-old daughter, that that doesn’t mean they have to eschew Canadian customs. “We are Muslim and Canadian at the same time.” So they were regulars at the recent public viewings of the Stanley Cup final at Civic Square, near their Metrotown-area home, and they’ll be out showing their Canadian pride on July 1. “When I go I feel I want to show to everyone I am proud to be Canadian,” she said of her new red outfit. “We are trying to live a Moroccan life with the Canadian style.”

Parminder and Kamaljit Parhar are asking the Simon Fraser University campus community to help them grow the Parminder Parhar Endowment Trust fund to $1 million—and they’ll match donations dollar for dollar. Parminder Parhar is well-known on the Burnaby campus as the owner of three Renaissance Cafes there. “Renaissance Café is all about community,” he said. “I learned this right here on campus. That is why I decided to create an endowment that will acknowledge and support students. One day, I will be gone, but this award will create a spirit of community that will last forever.” Donate at http:// at.sfu.ca/DsrYWK, wdekleva@sfu.ca or 778-782-3093.

It still has spaces available for pre-leasing. The former Safeway distribution centre lands, a 42-acre property in South Burnaby, bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets, near the New Westminster border, is for sale, likely for residential development. Blyth doesn’t believe the loss of the Safeway lands will have much impact on the city’s industrial land base since a residential neighbourhood has already grown around it, making future industrial uses more challenging. He said there are few similar cases elsewhere in Burnaby of industrial land being converted to residential use other than in the Beresford area near Royal Oak. The city’s long-range plan sees that area becoming a residential district, he said. Every city in Metro Vancouver has had some industrial lands converted to residential, “I don’t think Burnaby is out of the ordinary,” Blyth said. “Every municipality understands there’s only a certain portion of industrial land within each municipality.”

NEWS BRIEFS House will be demolished A 1912 house at 7183 Edmonds St. will be demolished as part of future plans to widen Edmonds Street near Kingsway. The vacant one-and-a-half-storey bungalow is owned by city hall and deemed in fair to poor condition. It would require signiﬁcant upgrades to become a city rental property, a staff report said. It has been removed by council from Burnaby’s heritage inventory. “It is of a relatively small size and does not present a sound economic basis for adaptive reuse for any public purpose,” the report said. A garage will also be demolished at 7173 Edmonds St. as part of the same initiative. The properties, both irregularly shaped, will be held as vacant grassed lots until they are required for the road upgrade project, planned for 2015.

City will renovate fire hall No. 6 Burnaby council has approved $60,000 to renovate fire hall No. 6 to allow for separate dormitory facilities for its female firefighters. The fire hall, at 3620 Brighton Ave., was opened in 1972 and was not designed for gender separation, said a city staff report. So far, new fire halls No. 2, 5 and 7 had such facilities included in their design and station No. 3 has been retrofitted. Renovations at fire hall No. 1 are in the planning and design stage and No. 4 will be designed to meet the requirements when it is replaced in future.

THANK YOU! Dear Mayor Corrigan, I am writing today to express my sincere appreciation to the Burnaby Firefighters for their exemplary service to the citizens of Burnaby. I greatly admire and respect their steadfast commitment to the community, as is evident by the many awards the Burnaby Firefighters and Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society have received. The ‘Bill Grindlay Award’ for Fire Department of the Year and the ‘BC Community Achievement Award’ are just two examples. As well, their donations of time and money to the community events, people and organizations are testament to their good intentions. On May 7th, an apartment fire at 7341 Kingsway left 13 families homeless. Most of the families affected are new immigrants with low-income and no insurance. Thanks to the staff at Burnaby City Hall and their quick response, many supports were put in place to help the families through this very difficult time. A few days after the fire,

I phoned Burnaby Firefighters to ask for their assistance, and without hesitation, they donated a very generous $4,000.00. This money will go a long way to help alleviate the unstable circumstances the families will be facing for quite some time. The Burnaby Firefighters offered critical support with its timely and important charitable donation and I applaud their community spirit. The outstanding efforts of the staff at Burnaby City Hall and the Burnaby Firefighters is a big part of what makes the City of Burnaby the best run city in Canada. Thank you. Sincerely,

Peter Julian, MP (Burnaby-New Westminster)

—EDITORIAL—

A worthy ambassador

The federal government is expected to announce that former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell will be Canada’s next high commissioner to Great Britain (in other words, the ambassador). While this has caused some snarky comments in B.C., where Campbell’s popularity remains on par with a snake’s belly, this is a good appointment. Campbell served as B.C. premier for nine years, and was the first premier since Bill Bennett to win three consecutive terms in office. He did so during some challenging times. When he assumed office in 2001, the B.C. economy was coming out of a recession and badly needed a shot of confidence. When he stepped down earlier this year, the economy had weathered another recession, although it may not weather the fury over the HST, which cost Campbell his job and may well cost his party the government. While he obviously blew it with the HST on many levels, Campbell’s overall track record on job creation, economic development, infrastructure, the 2010 Winter Olympics and debt management was quite good. Perhaps most importantly, he is a visionary — he isn’t afraid to think differently, and while he sometimes gets off base, he often has the ability to see a new approach to a problem. The former premier has a good reputation among those he worked with over the years, from cabinet ministers to fellow premiers and the prime minister. He worked very well with the federal government on many issues. He wouldn’t have been asked to do this job if the current Conservative government didn’t see something he can bring to it. While those who are upset with the BC Liberals may not like this appointment, they need to look beyond provincial politics. Campbell is a capable individual who will represent Canada very well in the U.K., which remains a very important trading partner and one of Canada’s major allies in Europe. - Black Press

A vicious elbow to the face by a German defender left her proboscis as warped as a Bobby Hull hockey stick. She left the ﬁeld to be tended by team doctors.

But Burnaby should not be humble about having two such great athletes coming from these parts. ■ Grant Granger is a NewsLeader reporter ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

Policy 5.45 adopted by the Burnaby School Board is now a fait accompli, but continued dialogue is necessary to influence implementation of the policy. There is some confusion as to what the policy is really aimed at. A discrepancy exists between what advocates of the policy say it is about, and what the actual policy says. Advocates claim it is a policy designed to improve the safety of LGBTQ+ students. But on closer examination, the policy is an affirmation of the LGBTQ community and is designed to make curriculum and other changes to reflect that affirmation while at the same time silence or drown out any opposition to the policy. So there is still need for clarification of the intent of the policy. We cannot confuse parents, teachers and students by saying it is one thing, when it is another. If the board itself is not clear of the goal, how can it expect others to be?

There are also statements that have been made by Board officials, which create confusion and contradiction. Here is one example: “We’re not indoctrinating, we’re just trying to change attitudes.” Indoctrinating and brainwashing has to do with changing beliefs and attitudes. It is not the role of the school to change established moral beliefs and attitudes. It is better to teach the principle of respect for all, regardless of race, colour, sex, creed or religious affiliation, than to single out one group. Homophobic bullying is but only one example of bullying. People have worked hard to establish policies and laws that treat all people with justice, fairness and dignity. If trustee Ron Burton is correct in his assertion that policy 5.45 is designed to improve the safety of LGBTQ+ students, then I say the policy is redundant because policy 5.10 specifically

deals with that issue, and is inclusive of all individuals and groups. It states that “The board shall consider any act of violence or intimidation on school premises to be a serious threat to the school environment and to the safety of both students and staff. The board shall take appropriate action which may include criminal charges being laid.” Further, policy 6.40 deals with tolerance and respect for people of diverse backgrounds. All that needed to be added were the words “sexual orientation,” so it would read as its goal, “promoting human interactions which are free from divisive attitudes based upon race, ethnic roots, national origin, religious afﬁliation or sexual orientation.” It is disturbing that supporters of the LGBTQ community were holding up a banner at a rally in front of the school board ofﬁces on the night the board met to adopt

the policy. The banner read: “We apologize for what the Church has done to the LGBTQ community.” Without questioning the propriety of such a sign being permitted on the premises, it is clear that the sign will create divisiveness between church and community, which policy 6.40 seeks to avoid. One can address the issues of bullying, violence, harassment, and name-calling without getting into any covert or overt, implicit or explicit judgements of one’s morals or religion, and not infringing on the rights of students and/or parents to have some value judgement of their own sexual preference. Ironically, these are human rights issues common to both the secular and religious community. It is one thing to want to be recognized and accepted for who you are, and another thing to infringe on the rights of others in the process of trying to gain this recognition. There is a ﬁne

line between wanting acceptance and wanting approval. Many of the LBGTQ group may be struggling for approval in the guise of wanting to be accepted for who they are. They sometimes cannot distinguish between acceptance of them as persons, and approval of their lifestyles. This conﬂation of acceptance and approval is another source of divisiveness. LGBTQ students may be expecting more than the policy allows. Ben Seebaran Retired teacher/ administrator (Vancouver School Board) Burnaby

HST the best choice for manufacturing Despite what Bill Vander Zalm and the NDP are trying to make people believe, the HST is making B.C.’s manufacturing industry stronger. The math is simple: bring back the 12 per

cent PST-GST and B.C. families will lose out on a stronger economy, more money in their pockets, and better job security. My company— Williams & White Inc.—is a B.C.-grown, world-class manufacturing organization, and thanks to the HST we are enhancing the quality of our business and taking better care of our employees. Voting No to keep the 10 per cent HST is the logical choice. It helps employees by securing their jobs. It also helps employers provide workers with new equipment that makes their jobs safer, easier and more productive. It helps British Columbia develop high-paying highskilled work for everyone in the province. Bottom line is this— the HST is good for manufacturing in B.C. That’s why I’m voting NO to going back to the PST-GST double tax. Justin Williams CEO, Williams & White Machine Inc. Burnaby

mendation to use a more complex set of rules that would vary depending on the season – based on ﬁre risk – and outlaw smoking on some high-use trails but not others. “We don’t want to hire a whole bunch of smoke police,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said. “We feel the majority of people who smoke are law-abiding and would abide by the rules.” Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, who chairs the parks committee, said she would have preferred rules that simply prohibited smoking in zones around highuse areas but allow it everywhere else in the parks. Vancouver council wanted a full ban on smoking throughout Metro parks, but its motion was voted down at a previous committee meeting. The planned smoking policy would affect regional parks like Tynehead, Campbell Valley, Paciﬁc Spirit, Lynn Headwaters and Belcarra regional parks as well as greenways such as Pitt River and Seymour River. Beaches governed by Metro Parks include Centennial Beach at Boundary Bay Regional Park, Wreck Beach in Vancouver and Sasamat Lake in Belcarra. Several cities across the region either partly or fully ban smoking in their municipal parks.

Deal close for Evergreen Line Closed-door offer made but tax hike details under wraps By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The long-delayed Evergreen Line to Coquitlam could be back on track and under construction soon after a meeting between Metro Vancouver mayors and Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom. The minister said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimistic a short-term deal will be hammered out swiftly. But he offered few speciďŹ cs of how residents will likely pay more to fund the project, saying he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to predict which mechanisms mayors will opt to use. The project has been stalled for months but the mayors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who control tax hikes for TransLink â&#x20AC;&#x201C; say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to a new agreement with Victoria to ensure the 11-kilometre SkyTrain extension proceeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to ďŹ nd a solution to this,â&#x20AC;? Lekstrom predicted, adding he wants both a shortterm agreement to launch

the Evergreen Line as well as an understanding on longer-term funding sources for more distant projects, such as rapid transit line extensions in Surrey and along Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broadway corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to go through this again next time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a project,â&#x20AC;? Lekstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a funding model in place that the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council and TransLink can deal with it and get on with what we need here in Metro Vancouver.â&#x20AC;? The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayors voted at a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning to submit a proposal on funding TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $400-million share of the line. Mayors council chair Richard Walton, mayor of the District of North Vancouver, said he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal any details until an agreement can be conďŹ rmed with the province â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly within the next couple of days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an in-camera meeting,â&#x20AC;? Walton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re negotiating with another level of government.â&#x20AC;? But Walton conďŹ rmed there are no new funding

sources for the Evergreen Line, meaning the mayors are limited to some combination of higher property taxes, fuel taxes or a new annual vehicle levy in the short-term. Mayors last fall blocked a proposal from TransLink to fund the Evergreen Line construction share solely from property taxes. Other funding sources, some of which would likely require legislative change, would be made available for mayors for other TransLink projects and requirements over the long term. Lekstrom conďŹ rmed a second regional carbon tax that would apply only in Metro Vancouver is one of the possible options for the long term.

Former Vancouver Olympic boss John Furlong and former Nova Scotia deputy attorney general Doug Keefe have been appointed co-chairs of a review into the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. The B.C. government ordered the review after the June 15 ďŹ nal game of the NHL playoffs turned into an ugly scene of vandalism and looting that took police three hours to bring under control. Keefe is a veteran of investigations in Nova Scotia, including those for the 1992 Westray Mine explosion that killed 26 workers and the crash of a Swissair jetliner in 1998 that killed all 229 people on board. Furlong chaired Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 Olympic bid committee and went on to serve as president of the Olympic organization. The review team is to report to the province and city of Vancouver by Aug. 31. It will look at the lessons of the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, and the plans by the Vancouver Police to prepare for the 2011 event. Recommendations are to include a framework for future public events in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Black Press

The mayors council has also pressed for powers like road pricing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; essentially applying tolls on not just bridges but major arteries throughout the region. Another promising mechanism, according to Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, is the use of real estate proďŹ ts from rising land values along transit line corridors. When a rapid transit station goes in, Stewart said, the local city often relaxes parking requirements on new condo towers nearby, translat-

ing into lower costs and higher proďŹ ts for developers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should that windfall not help fund the station that caused it? I think it can.â&#x20AC;? The $1.4-billion Evergreen Line has a federal commitment of $417 million and a provincial commitment of $400 million. TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $400-million share has not yet been delivered. Even with it in hand, the project is short almost $200 million. TransLink and the mayors would not be asked for more, Lekstrom said, adding the province will make up the difference if necessary. If a deal is reached soon, Lekstrom said, the province would soon issue a request for proposals from its three prequaliďŹ ed bidders to build the new line, adding he still hopes the project can break ground and begin construction this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day that goes by jeopardizes when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to get in the ground.â&#x20AC;? He said the province wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider switching technologies from SkyTrain to less expensive light rail, calling SkyTrain more efďŹ cient.

The Burnaby Junior Lakers scored seven times in the second period to power their way to a 10-6 win over the Port Coquitlam Saints Sunday at Copeland Arena. Trailing 2-1 at the end of the first period on a late Saints’ goal by Richard Lachlan, the Lakers got even five minutes into the middle frame when Bryan Gillis beat Saints’ keeper Garrett Spann on a set up by Blake Mattinson. The Saints then sandwiched a powerplay goal by the Lakers Jackson Decker with goals by Cody Craven and Andrew Bromley to retain their one goal advantage. But nine seconds after Bromley’s go-ahead marker, Jaxson Lee tied it and set off a five-goal run by the Lakers to give them an 8-4 lead. Each team scored twice in the third period. Gillis had a hat trick and added an assist to lead the Lakers while Lee and Brad Confrey each had four points. The win helped salve some of the pain from the Lakers’ tough 14-12 overtime loss to the Delta Islanders on Saturday in Ladner. After spotting the fourth-place Islanders a 7-2 lead in the first period, the Lakers stormed back with seven goals of their own in the second. The teams were tied at nine heading into the third when they each scored twice. But the Islanders seized control of the game in the extra frame as they scored the first three goals before Ryan Watson was able to get one back for Burnaby. Delta also outshot the Lakers 10-5. Blake Mattinson had a goal and six assists for the Lakers and Jackson Decker added six points. The Lakers will host the New Westminster Salmonbellies Friday at 8 p.m.

FOOTY FOLLIES Burnaby Eagles’ Lex Perry is pursued by West Coast Saints’ Chris Avery as they chase down a loose ball in the ﬁrst quarter of their B.C. Footy match, Saturday at Burnaby Lake Fields.

It’s getting uglier on the roads, according to an opinion survey of B.C. motorists conducted for ICBC. Fifty-ﬁve per cent of Lower Mainland residents believe drivers in their community have become less courteous over the past ﬁve years, the Ipsos Reid survey found. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while just three per cent thought drivers are more courteous. ICBC psychologist John Vavrik said rude, discourteous driving can trigger road rage incidents. “Aggressive or careless driving such as cutting off other drivers, speeding, tailgating, talking on cellphones and not using proper signals is almost always what incites road rage,” Vavrik said. “While road delays play a part in adding to driving stress, it’s the behaviour of other drivers that leads to the greatest frustration.” He said the heated emotions that result can impair a driver’s

drivers perceive their own driving behaviours and the reality of their driving.”

John Vavrik ICBC psychologist ability to concentrate, react and make smart driving decisions, putting them at increased risk of crashing. On balance, those surveyed gave their fellow drivers a C letter grade for courteous driving, while residents in the rest of B.C. gave their local drivers a C+. Most drivers denied they’re the problem. A large majority gave themselves either an A or B grade for driving courtesy. “There’s a clear disconnect between how drivers perceive their own driving behaviours and the reality of their driving,” Vavrik said. The single biggest peeve? Drivers who signal late or not at all – an infraction experienced by 82 per cent of

those surveyed in the last three months. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off. Less common grievances were drivers who honk horns, yell, make obscene gestures, wave arms or ﬁsts, ﬂash lights or steal your parking spot. Two per cent reported another driver got out of their vehicle to confront them. Nobody admitted to doing that but 30 per cent admitted to honking in anger over the past three months and between 10 and 20 per cent said they’ve yelled, blocked a merging car, tailgated or failed to correctly signal in recent months. Ninety-four per cent say they acknowledge with a wave when another driver is courteous. Most of those surveyed said they believe their wave in turn encourages others to be more courteous. Two-thirds said it’s important to them that other drivers acknowledge their courtesy, but the rest said it’s not that important. The online survey polled 899 adult B.C. drivers. jnagel@blackpress.ca
