WOMAN ESCAPES ATTEMPTED SEXUAL ASSAULT
ROBBERY SUSPECT SOUGHT
North student finds healing in art By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
M
arie Caldwell is only 18 but it could be argued she’s already overcome a lifetime’s worth of adversity. Her parents split early on and her mother struggles with drug and alcohol addictions. At age one, Caldwell was removed from her mother’s care and shuffled from relative to relative. At age two, her father suffered a brain injury in a car accident, preventing him from looking after her. When she was six, she was able to move back in with her mom, but any semblance of a normal life was short lived. Four years later, her mom decided they would move in with her mom, Caldwell’s grandmother. Then one day, about a year afterwards, “she left me with

her and never came back.” For days she expected to see her mom show up at home, but it would be a year before she finally gave up hope. “It was a devastating blow, really.”
From darkness to light
Blessing in disguise Despite that, being placed into her grandparents’ care turned out to be a blessing. Concerned with some symptoms she noticed and knowing her early childhood may have had an effect, her grandmother had Caldwell assessed. She was diagnosed with attentiondeficit disorder, an anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. She started to get the help she needed. Her grandmother put her into drama and art classes and encouraged her when she showed interest. “I didn’t realize it at the time but it was my release from all the things I didn’t know what to do with.” The Grade 12 Burnaby North secondary student has thrived on her artistic endeavours. After taking

structured art classes at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, she moved onto self-directed classes where all she was given was materials and guidance. “It was probably one of the greatest classes I ever took.” Last month, the Shadbolt exhibited 21 of her works. She’s also worked as an assistant drama instructor and painted murals at Camp Jubilee. Through it all, her art has sustained her, giving her a place to park her emotional baggage. “I used it instead of going

Of course, that made my artwork more dark and disturbing to a lot of people.” She laughed recalling that the first painting she ever did in art class was so disturbing, her teacher said, perhaps only half-jokingly, “We do have a psychiatrist here if you want to see one.” She added with a smile that a friend also puts what’s bothering her into her work. “She said, ‘Put all your depression on canvas and

Marie Caldwell has overcome difficulties in her home life to pursue her passion for art. She’ll be attending Emily Carr University in the fall after she graduates from Burnaby North.
The darker side of her works has been key to her recovery, which has become increasingly evident as her art has progressed to lighter and more colourful pieces. “I’m now experimenting with what I can do because I’ve let go of so many things.” Ironically, Caldwell believes she got her artistic talent from her mother, who used to draw while she watched with great interest. It’s her artistic side that has helped her achieve more than she thought possible. The honour roll student completed the Advanced Placement course in art and will soon learn whether her portfolio will give her university credit. And she won a Michael J. Fox arts scholarship which she’ll put towards her studies at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in the fall. “She not only has talent, she has passion and she has the drive to see it through,” said Lori John, her AP art teacher at North. “She knows what she wants and she’s going to get it.”

Burnaby RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying a robbery suspect. The suspect entered a bank at 4307 Kingsway on Feb. 28 at about 12:30 p.m. After waiting in line for a teller, he passed a note to her but said nothing. The note demanded money and indicated he was armed, although no weapon was ever produced. The teller gave the suspect $300 before he fled. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, fivefoot-two to five-footfour, 20 to 30 years old, with pale, sickly skin, and a thin build. He had short brown hair, brown eyes and a thin, brown moustache. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a navy blue sweater, baggy blue jeans, a white ball cap worn backwards with a black DC logo on the front, white and darkcoloured shoes. He is also described as “offensive smelling.” Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact Const. Leo Fedele of the Burnaby RCMP Robbery Section at 604-2098078.

As for the role art plays in Caldwell’s life, John said, “She really needs it. It’s like her air.” Through it all, she said, it was her grandmother who encouraged and supported her. The pair are set to travel to Europe together this summer, with art museums likely atop their itinerary. Caldwell did eventually reconnect with her mother and keeps in touch while developing an understanding of her mom’s struggles. “Everyone wants to grow up and be like their parents. I’ve done everything to be not like my mother. “I’ve matured and grown. I’m more comfortable with myself.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

While he is comfortable following a party platform, “I’m not willing to accept efforts to control my actions on a day-byday basis or an issue-by-issue basis.” The party executive has agreed to his position on that front, he said, but he has yet to commit to being a candidate. “I’m not going to run if I don’t think I can win,” Evans said. “I don’t think I can win if there’s more than one [centreright] slate.” He said it’s “not likely” he’ll run as an independent.

—EDITORIAL—
Axe tax proposal Perhaps there is never a good time to propose a vehicle levy but this latest reincarnation of the dreaded car tax comes at a bad time. For one thing, the prospect of paying on average $122 per car, depending on the size of the vehicle, on top of new tolls, higher gas prices and AirCare fees is daunting given that incomes aren’t rising as fast as all the other bills. When the fee was originally proposed in the 1990s, it was only $75 and was soundly trashed. Now, it’s even bigger, and although it’s scaled to the size of vehicles to give the appearance of being green, most people will just see it as a tax and won’t like it any better. The problem is a transit tax is hard to justify to people living in the suburbs beyond New Westminster and Burnaby, where transit is minimal and most families still need two cars. At the same time, road and transit projects that could create some relief — such as the Evergreen Line — are either on hold or history. It’s true TransLink needs the cash to put it on more sustainable footing so it can pay for large infrastructure projects but there is a such a gap in public trust that people aren’t likely to believe they’ll see any benefit from the fee. They wonder, for example, why they still have to pay for AirCare when their car and most others never fail. They wonder why TransLink carried over a $16-million surplus and why the Evergreen Line is still stalled. Meanwhile, transit in single-family neighbourhoods will never be as good as it is in denser areas of the region, so this transit tax doesn’t have any initial benefit for those who could be forced to pay it. To sell this tax will require a lot of creative thinking. One idea would be to attach a sunset clause so that it dies after some of the big-ticket transit items have been paid off. Former premier Gordon Campbell got some mileage from taking down the toll booths on the Coquihalla and we think that’s an idea worth emulating. — Black Press

At first the concept caught TransLink off guard, build cars that would make it difficult for passengers to look down into yards. but they checked it out to see if it made sense. Besides, most riders would be more interested Harris thought it would cost about $70 million. A in looking at the magnificent view gondolas would couple of months ago, TransLink announced a provide of Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster business case could be made for it and scheduled and Vancouver than in looking in someone’s yard public hearings to get community feedback.
with the faint hope of seeing someone sunbathing au naturel. Those that aren’t surveying the view will have their heads buried in their books doing lastminute cramming for the test they’ll be taking at the top. A gondola would be far safer than having buses navigate Gagliardi Way in a snowstorm. There are also safeguards that can be taken to make sure they would not fall on anybody’s home. As for property values, they just might go up because of the proximity to both SFU and a quick way to get there. Over the years, property values along the SkyTrain line have gone up despite it being much noisier than any gondola would be. If this project is to be shot down it should be over costs or potential harm to the environment. Most people could be forgiven for being cynical over Harris’s cost estimate. That forecast has already jumped to $120 million. If TransLink decides to proceed there’d better be solid financial reasons for it. Burnaby Mountain has a beautiful, fragile and precious ecosystem that needs to be taken into account. Cost and the environment should be deciding factors, not any perceived fear of voyeurism.

CLBC doing best it can with limited funding Re: Disabled youth left high and dry by CLBC: Corrigan Further to your article on Jonathan Martin: Jonathan had his graduation ceremony on Thursday night. While he thoroughly enjoyed the evening, his mother and I were left feeling terribly sad afterward. Jonathan has loved his years at school; he has received tremendous love and support from his teachers and enjoys being in social settings despite his limited communication skills. As he graduates he is leaving behind that support and facing a very uncertain future. A few points in your article on the situation Jonathan (and many others) faces could use some clarifying. My understanding of the funding provided to CLBC in the past year or two is that it has been relatively consistent, neither experiencing major cuts nor receiving significant increases. The problem arises from the growing number of young adults like Jonathan who are leaving school and are in need of services. The CLBC budget is not keeping pace with the growing demand. This means that CLBC has to find ways to stretch its budget each year. Bloy is correct in saying that those with the greatest needs are targeted for funding first, particularly those with serious medical
issues. Jonathan has a very real need for support, but funding limitations put him below CLBC’s priority level. The programs Bloy listed as support options have a number of limitations. There are issues with space, the need to provide some supervision since Jonathan needs one-to-one support, costs, transportation (Jonathan cannot manage public transit) and many more. We are willing to do whatever we can to help piece together a meaningful program for Jonathan, but don’t see how we can do so without help. It is important to emphasize that Jonathan is not an isolated case. Our daughter, who works in a life skills program in the public school system, knows several former students who spend most of their days at home with little to do. It is also important to emphasize that the problem does not lie with CLBC. The people there are doing their best to help with the resources they have been given. It must be agonizing to work with families setting up plans for their children, knowing that realistically there is little hope that those plans can be implemented. In a recent letter we received from Bloy’s office we read that “it is important to have a plan in place for the future.” Without funding this is an empty comment. Dave Martin Burnaby

Re: Protesters being manipulated (Letters, NewsLeader, May 27) Upon re-reading the informative letter from Brian O’Neill, I had to examine the instructive points he made on the Burnaby School Board’s anti-homophobia policy 5.45 issue and the representations by the religious group opposed to it. Understanding the finer aspects and clarity required is a Canadian tradition, and that’s important. Comprehending English idiom is paramount in what is spelt out, and needs to be understood before considering entering the fray. Our school trustees are obviously doing what we elected them to do, insofar as elaborating our Canadian values, expressing fairness to all attending our schools and lastly inculcating community values. We welcome diversity, and fairness to all newcomers to our nation. However, there are core values we as a society all must subscribe to, openly and publicly. As an immigrant myself, I believe old-country narrow-minded approaches are not useful, but a clear opposite of Burnaby community values. This is especially true where one religious group attempts to dictate its own dogma/beliefs on the public system. Those days have gone and are not missed. All who wish to call Burnaby “home” need to revamp, rethink and reject bigotry as a family value. It is not something we collectively consider worth emulating. P. Dickinson-Starkey North Burnaby

Buckingham elementary school students learned what it’s like to live in undeveloped countries when they participated in a “water walk” recently. After learning that women and children in impoverished countries regularly walk two to five km each morning to collect water for their families, a group of students trekked 1.1 km to Deer Lake. They all carried four-litre milk jugs which they filled with water and carried back to school. There the total water was calculated to be 848 litres, only enough to sustain the school for half a day. The effort was in support of a school fundraiser completed earlier in the school year for SOPAR, a non-profit organization focused on international development in India. The school raised enough money to furnish a school in India and to build a well in the Andhra Pradesh region of India so its residents won’t have to make the daily walk for water. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Metro directors douse idea of full smoking ban Most parts of regional parks, trails would stay cigarette-friendly By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

ONE WAY
TO HONOLULU
Metro Vancouver will draw up new rules to restrict smoking in high-traffic areas of regional parks but it won’t force all smokers to butt out throughout parks and trails. That’s the preliminary decision of the Metro parks committee Wednesday after Vancouver Coun. Tim Stevenson’s motion for a full ban on smoking in regional parks was defeated 7-4. “The majority of people don’t want to be bothered walking down a trail on a beach or anywhere else in a park by second-hand smoke,” Stevenson said. Burnaby Coun. Pietro Calendino and Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean supported a complete ban. But Area A director Maria Harris said there should be places to smoke in Metro’s parks. “We can’t be the health police,” she said, adding she also opposes a smoking ban on trails. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, the parks committee chair, agreed trails should be exempt. “On a trail I don’t think you see 30 or 40 people walking together smoking cigarettes,” she said. Martin said restrictions are needed where people congregate, such as picnic shelters, as well as beaches and playgrounds. The committee voted to have staff report back on possible restrictions to ban smoking near those areas, potentially with designated smoking zones also provided. Martin noted managers can already ban smoking temporarily when fire hazards are high. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said Metro would have to start banning some food from picnic baskets if it wants to block all unhealthy activities in parks. “The only difference between a
cigarette and a French fry is the cigarette has the ability to affect others,” he said. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said it would be simplest to leave the exact placement of no-smoking zones or designated smoking areas to Metro parks managers, adding that has been Surrey’s practice. Calendino said the parks committee was “waffling” by not proceeding with a full ban. A final decision will go to a vote of the full Metro board in the months ahead, where Vancouver councillors could still try to push through a full ban. “We’re very much in favour of a complete prohibition,” Stevenson said. “We feel it’s like an airplane – you head to a park, you don’t smoke any more.” Vancouver is one of several cities in the region that already bans smoking throughout its civic parks and he said Metro needs to follow suit to make a health statement. More of the remaining smokers might be spurred to quit if parks go off limits, he added. “I feel understanding for senior citizens who maybe got off the battlefields smoking but maybe they need to quit too.” MacLean said few smokers use parks anyway. “It’s hard to walk when you smoke a pack or two a day,” he said. Any rules could follow in the vein of some other cities in the region and cover not just tobacco smoking but also marijuana and hookah pipe use in parks. The committee rejected a staff recommendation to go out to public consultation on multiple options, including a complete ban. Martin said Metro will not ban campfires at Metro-run campgrounds. Langley Township Coun. Mel Kositsky said the smoking in parks issue should be regulated in all areas by the provincial government, rather than leaving a patchwork quilt of differing regulations in each city as well as the Metro parks. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Legislature winds down as elbows come up Budget and remaining legislation to be passed by Thursday By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government has rejected an NDP request to extend the spring legislative session past this week, and pushed through its plan to offer a reduced rate for the harmonized sales tax. B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman said the provincial budget and remaining legislation will be completed and passed by Thursday afternoon. That includes endorsement of the Yale First Nation treaty, limits to ferry fare increases, creation of a new police investigation unit and dozens of minor amendments to

Speaker Bill Barisoff and Premier Christy Clark raise the Vancouver Canucks flag outside the B.C. legislature Tuesday.
legislation. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson said Tuesday he plans to vote against the Yale treaty, partly because the government is pushing the disputed settlement of Fraser Canyon ďŹ shing territory through with only a few hours of debate. And the NDP says the B.C. Liberal government is using its majority to ram through the HST changes with inad-
equate debate. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the government closed off debate on the HST plan in less than a day, and switched debate on Premier Christy Clark’s ofďŹ ce budget to coincide with game one of the Stanley Cup ďŹ nals Wednesday, to distract the public from criticism.
Coleman continued the hockey theme, accusing the NDP of “ragging the puck� after agreeing to debate all current legislative measures by the scheduled adjournment on Thursday. NDP house leader John Horgan said the government’s reduction of legislature time is an affront to the citizens who elected MLAs to represent them. “We sat for four days the previous 10 months,� Horgan said. “We have a four-week session to deal with a $40 billion budget and a handful of bills at the start that turned into 15 bills, one of which is a treaty.� Under the NDP government in 2000, the Nisga’a treaty debate took 147 days, and the same year hundreds of hours were spent debating ministry budgets, Horgan said.

The SFU track team left their last NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in record fashion, setting two meet records and breaking two long-standing school marks. Junior Helen Crofts set a new meet record in the 800m with a time of 2:02.12, breaking the old mark of 2:03.89 held by the Clan’s head coach Brit Townsend since 1986. “I talked to Brit before the race and I knew I was going to go for the record,” said Crofts in a release. “It was tough running out front by myself but I felt great during the race and everything worked out perfectly in the end.” Crofts was also part of the women’s 4X800m relay team that set a new NAIA Championship record, besting the time held by SFU since 2005. Other top performances by the women that powered them to a fourth place finish overall included: Senior Jessica Smith placing first in the 1500m, Briana Kane placing second in the 800m and the 4X400m relay team of Kane, Crofts, Smith and Lindsey Butterworth finishing second to Oklahoma Baptist. The men finished 28th with ten points, all of them earned by Ryan Brockerville’s gold medal in the 3000m steeplechase. “The team was amazing,” said Townsend, whose squad had to endure tornado warnings and storm delays that plagued the Marion, Indiana area over the weekend. “They supported each other and we came away with some great performances.” Next year, the Clan will compete at the NCAA Division II championships. sports@burnabynewsleader.com

Lakers let Shamrocks slip away
The Burnaby Lakers had the Victoria Shamrocks right where they wanted them Friday at Copeland Arena, but they let them get away with a six-goal third period and lost for the second straight time, 12-10. For the first two frames, the Lakers carried the play, outshooting the visitors 33-24 and, more importantly, outscoring them 7-6. But Victoria tied it 2:12 into the third when Tyler Hass scored unassisted as the Lakers’ Peter McFetridge served a minor penalty for interference. Brody Eastwood

put the Shamrocks in front for the first time just over two minutes later when he converted a set up from Corey Small and Matt Lyons. Those two combined again 1:13 later to give Victoria some breathing room. Dane Stevens got one back for the Lakers, but the Shamrocks countered with a pair of goals 24 seconds apart. Colton Clark and Stevens got the Lakers back to within a goal late in the period, but Dane Schoor scored an insurance goal with 1:13 left.

Any move to fund TransLink expansion with carbon tax revenue would be by creating a new “regional carbon tax” that would be charged in addition to the existing one, according to Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom. He was responding to NDP questions in the legislature last week after Premier Christy Clark indicated the government would consider using a share of carbon tax revenues – a longstanding request from the regional mayors council. Lekstrom, however, said the province won’t share revenue now collected through the current carbon tax but would instead consider creating a second Metro Vancouver-only version. “This would be on top of the existing one,” Lekstrom said, adding the “regional carbon tax levy” could be one of a bundle of funding options the mayors may propose for TransLink to
avoid raising property taxes further. Area cities are united in seeking much more money for TransLink to fund not just the region’s $400-million share of the stalled Evergreen Line but also additional rapid transit lines and other priorities for expansion. Lekstrom said the existing carbon tax is fully committed by legislation to offsetting tax relief, so there’s no legal mechanism for it to be shared. B.C.’s carbon tax, now at 4.45 cents on gasoline, rises to 5.56 cents July 1 and 6.67 cents in mid-2012. It currently raises about $1.1 billion a year, with close to 40 per cent of that coming from the Lower Mainland. That’s significantly more than the $325 million TransLink raises from its 15-centa-litre gas tax in the region because the carbon tax also applies on home heating and industrial fuels. Mayors council chair Richard Walton said he’s not sure whether the regional carbon tax contemplated by the province would also cover home heating, but said that makes sense, as otherwise TransLink could simply
raise its existing fuel tax if motorists were to be the sole target. Lekstrom did not make it clear whether the province could split off the next two increases in the carbon tax levied on Metro residents for TransLink. But Walton said it seems improbable. NDP transportation critic Harry Bains said the province should have suspended tax breaks to corporations effective Jan. 1 so that at least the pending increases in the carbon tax could go to TransLink. “This is a surprise they’re throwing at the public,” he said of a second carbon tax. He also said the province should trust that the funding impasse with the region will be resolved and initiate the construction of the Evergreen Line now. “The government has to show leadership,” Bains said. “Just because the mayors cannot agree on something doesn’t mean the people on the ground level in the northeast sector do not deserve that line.” Lekstrom told a legislative committee Monday the longdelayed SkyTrain extension from Burnaby to Port Moody
and Coquitlam won’t be open to riders before late in 2015 at the earliest. He said the province won’t put the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line out to tender until there’s a deal with the mayors council to fund TransLink’s share. That’s because it takes a minimum four years to build and there’s no contract yet finalized with three shortlisted bidders from an original seven that responded to a request for qualifications 10 months ago, Lekstrom said. He warned a longer delay could put the procurement process at risk and result in even longer delays if the remaining bidders give up waiting for the project to go to tender and drop out. What happens next is up to the mayors, Lekstrom said. “The ball is really in their court,” he said, adding the province won’t be putting up money beyond its $410-million commitment or launching the project without the cities on board. “My goal is to have, first, the Evergreen dealt with, and then the longer-range plan, obviously, is to find a solution so that we’re not back dealing with one-offs, whether it be the UBC line or any of the others.”
