BBOT MEMBERS FAVOUR HST

Taking on the world at speech contest

By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

At age 18, Mustapha Lansana boarded a minivan, paid the driver an exorbitant fee, and rode with others fleeing to Conakry, Guinea. It was the beginning of his escape from his native Sierra Leone, which was at the peak of its civil war when he left in 1997. By then, he had already lost his younger brother as a result of the conflict, only furthering his resolve to leave the country through education. While his single mother often struggled to raise her three children on her schoolteacher’s wages, there was always money for books and school supplies, he recalled. His single-minded determination had led Lansana to earn the top high school marks in Sierra Leone. That, and volunteer work in his community and with

the Red Cross led to him winning a scholarship to a United World Colleges international school. When he was asked in his interview which school he preferred to attend, he chose Lester B. Pearson College on Vancouver Island, figuring what better way to learn about the country he knew least about? The scholarship was Lansana’s ticket out, but “the whole of Sierra Leone was under siege. I couldn’t fly out.” When he fled to Guinea, he contacted officials at Pearson College. They helped fly him to Canada three months later. After being accepted as a refugee a few years later, he became a Canadian citizen, eventually sponsoring his mother and younger sister to join him in British Columbia. Now 32 and living in Burnaby and working as an engineer, Lansana’s got his mind set on another goal— to return to Sierra Leone to offer leadership in the rebuilding of the country. That’s where Toastmasters, and his upcoming bid for the World Championship of Public Speaking, come in.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

When Mustapha Lansana came to Canada from Sierra Leone in 1997, he was a shy newcomer but on Aug. 18 he’ll travel to Las Vegas to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking as a representative of a Toastmasters club in Burnaby.

Big impression At the root of his ambition was his two years at Pearson College, which brings together students from all over the world, all under scholarships, to study under the International Baccalaureate program. “It had a profound effect on my view of the world,” said Lansana of his experience there. “Most importantly is we can all live together despite all our differences.”

Burnaby RCMP have released a composite sketch of a male suspect wanted in connection to a sexual assault June 12 at Eileen Dailly Pool. The man is described as being between 50 and 60 years old with a lighter complexion. He spoke with an accent and has a large nose, grey hair with a bald spot on top, a very hairy chest and a thin grey moustache. He has a medium build and an obvious belly. A 13-year-old boy was at the North Burnaby pool when he was approached by the suspect. The man has spoken with the boy before and on this day he struck up several conversations with him. During one conversation the man touched the boy in an inappropriate sexual manner while in the pool. Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

He watched as Israeli and Palestinian classmates, who would normally be fighting each other back home, sat together, enjoyed conversations and discussed issues. “It gave me hope.” It was something he clearly needed at the time, having lost contact with his family back home, not knowing if they were safe and OK. “It was difficult, it was a tough time,” Lansana recalled. “Everything was provided for me at Pearson but I didn’t know if my mom

was getting enough to eat.” It would be about four years before he spoke with his mother and sister again. Upon leaving Pearson, he attended Simon Fraser University, where he earned an engineering degree. He currently works at Burnaby firm Pacific Design Engineering which he described as “an engineering department for companies without engineering departments.” With his professional career well in hand, Lansana began turning his attention to providing leadership in his native Sierra Leone. “Canada is a great country. The country is preparing me and once I’m prepared I want to go back and help build my country.” Key to this preparation, he realized, is good communication skills. It was a realization he came to when he threw a party for a friend who was leaving for law school. As the host, he had to give a speech. It didn’t go as well as he would have liked. “A friend suggested I work on polishing my speech. I knew I had to do something about it.” A quick Google search led him to Toastmasters.

aby city hall, said Rob Blackwell, Anthem’s senior vice-president of development. City planning staff pointed out it’s an important property in the area and that there’s an opportunity to create something unique, he said. So the two companies revisited the concept and brought in urban planners Civitas and design consultant Cal Srigley to help redeďŹ ne the space where the mall now sits. The result is a proposal to completely remake the almost 12-acre site. For example, through the design process, McKay Avenue has been deďŹ ned as an “elegant city streetâ€? with “an urban townhouse feel to itâ€? including canopies and street trees. In contrast, right now, the McKay side of the property is an above-grade parkade structure. “It’s a functional use and done a long time ago, but it doesn’t give back a lot to the street, it’s very dead in terms of there’s no interaction with the city street at that point because it’s basically a car storage area,â€? Blackwell said. The redevelopment will be done in ďŹ ve phases, all of which require rezoning approval from city council. The ďŹ rst, which could start as early as next summer, would involve the extensive renovation of the shopping area south of Kingsborough Street. PLEASE SEE PROJECT ON A8

Instead of people sitting in dark corners smoking playing bingo, it’s certainly a different kind of atmosphere with people proving themselves not only physically but mentally. I always say I feel a lot better mentally after I’ve got exercise in my life.â€? Linden said he avoided doing endorsements during his playing career, preferring to focus on what he knew best, playing hockey. Even now, he is choosy with what he lends his name to. “I don’t see it as an endorsement, I see it as something I believe in,â€? he said of Club 16. “I would never get involved in something I don’t feel a lot of passion about.â€? Now that he’s retired from professional hockey, ďŹ tness is still a big part of his life, he said, noting he’s always pestering his own parents to stay ďŹ t. “The old saying, ‘if you don’t use it you lose it,’ is so true.

Trevor Linden was working out at the Coquitlam location of his Club 16 ďŹ tness centre when he saw something that told him he was on the right track. “I saw a group of seniors working out ... they’re able to feel that’s a place they can go and feel comfortable,â€? said the retired Vancouver Canuck icon. The ability to appeal to all ages and abilities is the aim of Club 16-Trevor Linden Fitness, which opened its second location July 21 at HighGate Village in South Burnaby. While many people feel intimidated by ďŹ tness clubs and think they have to be in shape to go there, Club 16 is looking to dispel that belief, said Linden in an interview. “This is about ďŹ tness for people of all ages, not just the twentysomething that wants to get big muscles.â€? Club 16 has also removed price as a deterrent for some to join a ďŹ tness club, by offering memberships at $14.99 a month, made possible by not offering the bells and whistles—such as large studios, yoga classes, towel service, pools and spas—found at other centres that many people often don’t use anyway, he said. “At $14.99 a month, you can still do a yoga class somewhere that specializes in yoga.â€? Within the centre is a spacious women’s-only section with the latest state-of-the-art ďŹ tness equipment. The centre also offers lessons on how to use the equipment and ďŹ tness circuits as well as cardio classes. Linden said he and business partner Chuck Lawson chose HighGate Village for its mix of services and ample parking. “Burnaby’s a great area. My in-laws live two blocks away—though that’s not the reason,â€? he added. He laughed when the irony was pointed out of a ďŹ tness club opening in the former Boardwalk

—EDITORIAL—

The work is not done The Canadian Forces withdraws from the combat mission in Afghanistan after nearly 10 years with NATO, trying to bring some form of better governance and stability to that region—and perhaps even curtailing terrorist activity that was tolerated under the former regime. There will be plenty of questions surrounding Canada’s presence there, not the least of which will be: was the whole enterprise worth it? As combat troops from NATO slowly withdraw from Afghanistan, that country could very well fall back into chaos. That is, unless those who fought there do not abandon the people and maintain a presence—if not militarily, then through aid, training programs and more. Should the worst occur—as has happened throughout Afghanistan’s history—then Canada’s efforts there will be deemed futile and the region will be as unstable at is was before NATO arrived. But what would Canada be if it didn’t try to make a positive difference in the lives of others? As a society, we’ve agreed to have a military and to use it in as best a manner as possible. And then follow their lead with support to ensure chaos does not return. As always, these are best-laid plans. Afghanistan proved Canadian soldiers are some of the best in the world. It’s a testament to this that Canada did not lose more than the 158 soldiers over that 10-year mission. The sacrifice of those soldiers is a price Canada was willing to pay—and that will not be forgotten. Nor should Afghanistan be forgotten. The end of missions and even economic realities might see soldiers leave, but to abandon Afghanistan completely would be a mistake. – Black Press

Getting tired of hearing TransLink always crying poor despite having their greedy hands on raising fares, money from property tax, money from gas tax and from wherever else. So if Premier Christy Clark is allegedly saying family ďŹ rst, then she should scrap all the privileges that Gordon Campbell bestowed on the TransLink board of directors, and open the books and open the doors to the public. And why aren’t the federal and provincial governments giving more for the Evergreen Line? Ottawa gets $0.10 per litre and a tax on top of a tax and Victoria gets $0.14 per litre and someone collects another $0.15 per litre. Seems like there is more than enough to pay for the new line without politicians and beureaucrats having to treat the taxpayers like their own personal bank machines. Allan Jang Burnaby

Partisan policing? Burnaby has a bylaw prohibiting the placing of election signs on municipal property. During the recent federal election this bylaw was strictly enforced by city staff. There are a large number of HST Yes signs on municipal property throughout the city and many of them have been there for a month or more. I don’t understand why the city has chosen not to enforce the law respecting these signs and would like an explanation for what appears to be inconsistent enforcement of the law. Garth Evans Burnaby

Fair, prospering societies need thriving middle class Recently, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) and the Conference

Over 100 years ago, working people and middle class citizens of all political stripes became enraged at the excesses and corruption of big business and its government enablers. Board of Canada came out with studies pointing to growing income inequality in Canada. The CCPA also showed that upper income families now bear a smaller percentage of the overall tax burden than lower and middle income families. If you google “Indicators of well-being in Canadaâ€? and follow the links to “income distribution,â€? you’ll ďŹ nd income data from 2007 that documents the inequality that has developed over the last few decades. In 2007 the bottom 20 per cent of Canadian families averaged about $14,000 of after-tax/aftertransfer income, the middle 60 per cent about $49,000, and the upper 20 per cent averaged about $127,000. Based on this data, a few calculations show that in 2007 the bottom 20 per cent of families received just ďŹ ve per cent of all after-tax/after-transfer income, the middle 60 per cent received 51 per cent, and the top 20 per cent of families received 44 per cent. Moreover, it’s likely that this inequality has signiďŹ cantly worsened over the past four years—especially in British Columbia. In the last few decades, federal marginal income tax rates have attened, regressive consumption taxes like the HST have increased, and in British Columbia, income taxes have substantially decreased for both individuals and businesses. These tax reductions have greatly beneďŹ ted big business and upper income families, and yet, it is business that uses our tax-funded infrastructure to make money. Without

the roads, water and sewer systems, energy generation and transmission, public transportation, universal health care, and publicly-ďŹ nanced education system—businesses could hardly exist or remain competitive. In turn, it’s the big salaries, dividends and capital gains owing from business that disproportionately beneďŹ t upper income families. History tells us that fair, prospering societies cannot exist without a thriving middle class and a safety net for those who cannot fend for themselves. In a democracy, one of the primary tasks of responsible government and journalism is to check and countervail the immense power of modern corporations. When big business, government, and various media empires become corruptly entwined, the vital interests of everyday people are undercut, and the downward spiral of inequality and decay begins. Over 100 years ago, working people and middle class citizens of all political stripes became enraged at the excesses and corruption of big business and its government enablers. The populist and progressive movements of that era battled long and hard for fair wages, better working conditions, the end of brutal child labour, universal suffrage, free public education, business and ďŹ nancial regulations, electoral reform, and a tax code that shared the burden fairly. Surely, that great legacy is worth defending and renewing. Mike Divine New Westminster

You Asked... Is it wise to preplan? A man came in to see me the other day. He asked for a pre-planning guide and shared a story with me. One of his close friends had died recently. He had not made plans and had avoided discussions about the subject. The result was Linda Mizuguchi guesswork and confusion for his family at a very difÀcult time. The gentleman I met with said he did not want his family to go through that kind of stress. Within an hour we had completed the forms, prepaying and outlining his wishes. I made sure he had copies for his executor and for his wife and children. By noon he was on his way, content with the decision he had made. Pre-planning is a wise decision. We provide the caring service you have come to expect. Don’t just take my word for it. You be the judge.

integrated with the rest of the project— and Future Shop will be renovated and made brighter with the use of skylights. The underground parking lots on that side of the site will allow the removal of the parkade and rooftop parking on top of Save-On-Foods, Blackwell said. The rest of the site, everything north of Kingsborough, will be torn down and rebuilt one phase at a time with parking located underground. That section, about twothirds of the property, will be divided into four quadrants, each of which will eventually be home to a residential tower, retail and office space, public art, sitting areas and landscaping. The one exception is the section where Save-On-Foods is today, which will include two towers. By the time it’s all completed, in eight to 10 years, the project will comprise 1,500 to 1,800 residential units over the five towers,

he said. The first quadrant to be rebuilt will be the northeast corner, at Kingsway and the road running between the parkade and SaveOn-Foods, which will be renamed Silver Avenue, its original name before Station Square was built. Silver Avenue on the site will be turned into a pedestrian shopping street, with smaller shops on one side and restaurants on the other. In a nod to Yaletown, where restaurants are located above the road, having been built on former loading docks, the future Station Square restaurant spaces will be built with patios and terraces one-anda-half feet above the sidewalk. The street will also have a more Granville Island feel to it, with brick paving stones and no raised sidewalks. Cars and pedestrians will be separated by street trees and bollards to create a “European market feel.”

One of the next steps in the planning process is determining what mix of commercial tenants they’d like to see there, Blackwell said, adding that SaveOn-Foods will remain. Anthem and Beedie have benefited from the fact Station Square continues to operate as a successful shopping centre, allowing them to take their time with the planning process, even as the development industry slowed down as a result of the 2008 global economic downturn, he noted. If anything, the downturn caused the companies to make sure the redevelopment project could be phased in and planned strategically so they could respond to changes in the market. When it was built in the late 1980s, Station Square was the latest and greatest but it’s since become outdated and worn down, creating an opportunity for a complete makeover, he said. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Lansana to present his speeches in Burnaby on Aug. 4 A3

Bernie Constable started the Spoken Word Toastmasters group in Burnaby in 2008. Soon afterwards, Lansana showed up. “He was quiet and shy, self-conscious about his ability and speaking English,” Constable recalled. But it soon became clear that he was eager to learn, soaking up the feedback of fellow members and Constable’s mentoring and constantly striving to improve his public speaking. Now, in only his second year of competition, Lansana has won every contest he’s faced so far to become the lone contestant representing British Columbia at the semifinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking. The event will be held Aug. 18 in Las Vegas as part of the international Toastmasters convention. If he wins, he’ll move on to the finals on Aug. 20 where he’ll attempt to be the first person from B.C. to win it. Constable will be there to cheer him

on, as will Lansana’s mother and sister. “We call him the ‘master of the pause,’” Constable said. “He really knows how to use the pause well.” He added that Lansana has the ability to not seem like he’s giving a speech. Rather, he tells a story that is “just so riveting to hear.” For his part, Lansana said he puts in many hours writing and practising his speeches, noting that if he wins the semis he’ll have to present a completely different speech for the finals. After each level of competition, he’s utilized the feedback he’s received to refine his presentation. So while it is still entitled “Power of a Reason,” the speech is quite different now from when he started. Lansana said he’s gained a new appreciation for writing and the power of words. “A speech is like a work of art. The only difference is you are both the artist and a medium.” He admits to being a bit nervous, but said

his success will come from how he’s able to channel that nervousness. He noted that at that level, contestants need to know their speeches so well that it’s practically coming out subconsciously.

David Switzer is this month’s community champion because of his dedication to bettering the Heights community and his involvement in crime prevention efforts. “I care about crime prevention because I’m a resident of the area,” he says. “It’s where I live, go to restaurants, and where my kids go to school. I want it to be a safe, inviting neighbourhood.” Switzer has been a director on the board of the Heights Merchants Association since it was set up 14 years ago, and has helped send out bulletins about scams and other crime concerns to the 400plus members of the group. Switzer, who is a commercial property manager, also volunteers with the Giro di Burnaby committee and sits on the Mayor’s Task Force on Graffiti.

Just a few simple things can prevent you from becoming a victim of auto theft:

• participation in or support of local business and neighbourhood associations and other efforts to reduce crime, support business success, and improve community well-being.

• Park in well-lit open areas with lots of pedestrian or vehicle traffic. • Keep your vehicle secure by always rolling up the windows, locking it, and using an anti-theft device. • Don’t leave valuables or packages in plain view. Put them underneath the seat or in the trunk. • Be a good citizen and report suspicious people or activities to the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

If you have ideas for a business to highlight in Salute to Business, please either call the Burnaby Planning Department at 604-2947421 or label the idea “Idea for Salute to Business” and send it to planning@burnaby.ca.

Travel protected from the unexpected. You may be surprised to learn that medical care outside of B.C. can be very expensive especially in the United States. For example, the average cost of emergency in-patient hospital care in the United States often exceeds $1,000 USD per day, and can even be as high as $10,000 USD per day for intensive care. And since Health Insurance BC (formerly MSP) may cover as little as 10 per cent of the medical expenses you could face when travelling outside TRAVEL B.C., the Ministry INSURANCE of Health Services WITH strongly advises ZLATA buying additional STUMP medical insurance even if you only plan to leave the country for one day.

It’s wise to check the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada website at www.voyage. gc.ca. Select your destination and the Entry/Exit Requirements section will provide you with the travel insurance requirements. If you have confirmed coverage through your credit card or extended benefits program, be sure to obtain the proper documentation to meet the entry requirements of your destination(s).

INSURANCE OUTLOOK

Many B.C. residents already have limited travel insurance coverage through their credit card or employer extended benefits program. However, this coverage often doesn’t have a high enough dollar limit or cover you for the number of days per trip you require. Know before you go. Reviewing your travel insurance is increasingly important as some countries are now monitoring travellers’ coverage prior to crossing their borders. In fact, it was recently announced that several European countries are advising travellers to be prepared to show proof of medical coverage and may also impose a minimum coverage requirement.

Travel with peace-of-mind.

If you find that your current coverage is i n a d e q u a t e to completely protect you from the financial devastation an accident or injury could cause, investigate additional coverage like emergency excess medical insurance, to be protected and enjoy peace- of-mind during your travels. Remember to purchase your coverage before leaving B.C. Coverage is available through private insurers, such as BCAA, who offer at least five million dollars in emergency medical coverage. Always carry your declaration page with you when travelling as proof of your insurance coverage.

Province should abandon carbon neutral: Jaccard go ahead with what they used the money for anyway, such as building a more efficient hydropower or wind turbine plant. “It’s the guilt thing,” said Jaccard, a New Westminster resident who was raised in Burnaby. “We humans are really good at deluding ourselves into thinking we’re making progress.” In many cases, said Jaccard, the public JACCARD sector, such as hospitals and schools, purchases the offsets from private companies, which is a double whammy for the public sector because it is already paying a carbon tax while paying offsets to profitable companies that don’t pay an emission tax. Jaccard praised the provincial government for already having a carbon tax that is

SFU professor calls for tougher carbon tax and emission bans instead By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER

The province should abandon the goal of becoming carbon neutral, because there are too many loopholes, making the concept ineffective, says Simon Fraser University professor Mark Jaccard in a policy brief released Wednesday. Instead, he argues, the province should get tougher with its carbon tax and emissions bans. Jaccard said research done by himself and others around the globe indicates the trading of carbon offsets, where one organization or company purchases the right to emit from another that will reduce its emissions, is not having the desired effect on the environment. There is little evidence, he said, that the seller wouldn’t

stronger than most jurisdictions and for banning BC Hydro from building emission-emitting natural gas or coal plants to produce electricity. However, the carbon tax only targets 75 per cent of the province’s greenhouse gas emissions and he’d like it expanded. “The carbon tax captures everything when it comes to fossil fuels. That’s pretty darn good, but it’s not perfect,” said Jaccard, head of SFU’s Energy and Materials Research Group. “There’s things like landfills that emit methane from garbage, that’s you and I, and the emission on that is not taxed. That’s 25 times more powerful than carbon. “I’m not trying to say the 25 per cent is scandalous. We’re doing well with the 75 per cent, we’ve put ourselves on the road, but we can do better.” Jaccard cowrote the brief, B.C.’s Carbon Neutral Public Sector: Too Good to be True?, with researcher Brad Griffin. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

New Westminster native Tim Abercrombie beat out 67 other cyclists to capture the Tour de White Rock road race, the final stage of BC Superweek, on Sunday. Although he is an amateur of sorts, Abercrombie, 32, completed the 130-kilometre race in three hours, 34 minutes and 52 seconds, 8.1 seconds ahead of secondplace finisher Kennett Peterson of the United States. Abercrombie works as an environmental consultant with an engineering firm, but raced with nine other Garneau Evolution team riders, who he split the $1,500 prize money with. Abercrombie is one of the founders of the Garneau racing squad. The eight-race Superweek included the Giro di Burnaby last Thursday in which Abercrombie competed in but did not finish.

Burnaby’s Karl Alzner with Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman at the 2007 NHL entry draft in Columbus, Ohio. Alzner recently signed a two-year contract with the Capitals.

Alzner signs with Caps, McArdle with Jets Burnaby’s Karl Alzner signed a twoyear contract with the Washington Capitals for $2.57 million last week. The 22-year-old defenceman will earn $1.3 million in the upcoming season and $1.27 million in 2012-13. Alzner, who played minor hockey for the Burnaby Winter Club, will be heading into his fourth season as a professional after being drafted fifth overall in the 2007 NHL entry draft. Alzner admitted to reporters in a conference call that he left some salary on the negotiating table, but as a restricted free agent without arbitration rights, and no offer sheets pending from any other NHL teams, he felt he didn’t have much leverage. “There was no other offer out there, so that was all I had. So it was either take it or leave it,” said Alzner according to the Washington Post. “We definitely had to come down a bit and Washington had to go up a bit so we’re happy that we got something done.” In his first full season with the Capitals, Alzner played 82 games scoring two goals and assisting on 10.
