NEWS BRIEFS POLICE SEEK HELP TRACKING DOWN SUSPECT
A WIN IN SCIENCE
Burnaby students were honoured on Saturday night as Junior Achievement of British Columbia recognized B.C.’s top Student Entrepreneurs at its annual Celebrate JA! awards and recognition event. The Burnaby North Entrepreneurship Venture Club (BNEVC) won the CIBC Student Company Award for Innovation, and the also an award for Outstanding Shareholders’ Report. Students were honoured for their outstanding performance, creativity, and demonstration of business acumen.
Burnaby RCMP is seeking the public’s help in finding a suspect after a man was stabbed at Holdom SkyTrain station on Saturday. On June 11, just after midnight, an intoxicated man was walking into the station and noticed a man and woman arguing. He was laughing at nothing in particular, but the man involved in the argument took offence. After the man who had been arguing said something to the victim as he passed, the victim thought he had been punched since he felt a pain in his side. It wasn’t until he got to the train platform and met a friend that he realized he’d been stabbed. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at hospital then released. The suspect is described only as a man in his early 20s and five-foot-five, wearing gangster-type clothing. To provide information call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222 TIPS (8477).
Tori Weir, a Grade 8 student at Burnaby South secondary, won first place at the Regional Science Fair held at UBC. She then went on to earn the bronze medal at the National Youth Science Competition held in Toronto. Weir is currently taking honours classes and plans to take Advanced Placement courses in later grades. While she has no specific career plans yet, she has an interest in biology.

STUDENTS WIN AWARDS
Commuter cyclists not all clad in spandex Cities working to provide new routes to encourage people to bike to work By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
M
onty Peters can drive from his home in the Royal Oak area of South Burnaby to his job at New Westminster city hall in about 15 minutes. Cycling the same distance adds about 10 minutes to his commute. “It’s not that much faster [to drive],” said Peters. That’s why it made sense for him to start cycling to work, two to three times a week, in an effort to be more environmentally conscious. But Peters, 49, isn’t your stereotypical hard-core, spandex-wearing cyclist. Rather, he generally wears whatever clothes he’ll be wearing to his job as building maintenance coordinator in the engineering department. He’ll bring a change of shoes or shirt, in case he’s exerted himself, but for him, it’s the ride home that’s uphill. While he only uses it about 10 per cent of the time, Peters also has a fold-up bike that’s great in good weather, and on SkyTrain. He noted that full-size bicycles are banned from SkyTrain during rush hour. Not so when he’s got this bike folded up—it’s small enough to be considered a
piece of baggage. And he can fit it under his desk. Peters has no complaints about the bike route system in Burnaby and New Westminster, but can see room for improvement, especially additional dedicated bike lanes next to the curb, northsouth routes in particular. “When I speak to people who don’t [commute by bike] that’s one of the main things that stops them,” he said. “Part of it is weather and hills, the other part is safety and traffic.” Encouraging the average person to consider cycling to work is something both Burnaby and New Westminster city halls are working toward, with additional bike routes in the works.
Separation is good Stuart Ramsey, Burnaby’s manager of transportation planning, is quick to sum up that city’s cycling infrastructure—145 kilometres of designated bike routes, comprised of a mix of bike lanes at the side of roads, bikeways through quieter local streets, and urban trails physically separated from roads. “What we’re learning from research and the cycling community is the best thing you can do to encourage more cycling is to provide full physical separation from traffic,” Ramsey said. “Fortunately, Burnaby has been doing that longer than just about anybody [in the Lower Mainland],” he said, referring to the 60 kilometres of urban trails it started building in 1990.

Monty Peters commutes to his job at New Westminster city hall from his home in Burnaby, often on a folding bike that allows him to carry it into his office or onto transit at any time of day.
Since the ’90s, Burnaby has also had a policy of requiring developers of major projects to include end-of-trip facilities for cyclists, such as bike racks and showers, in its commercial and office units. Developers are also responsible for building any part of a bike route set out in the city’s transportation plan that runs along their development site. Ramsey said Burnaby’s transportation plan is due for an update, a process that will likely start this fall and last up to two years. Meantime, city staff will continue to bring to fruition other cycling infrastructure that’s been planned for years including enhancements to the Central Valley Greenway, the urban trail connection at Gilmore, between Lougheed Highway and Sanderson Way, and bike connections at Fraser Foreshore Park.
As well, Ramsey said, better cyclist connections across the freeway will be part of the province’s Gateway project, to widen Highway 1. Willingdon, Sprott, Kensington and Cariboo overpasses are all being replaced with wider sidewalks. As for the controversial Hornby Street-style bike lanes in Vancouver, Ramsey said that sort of design reflects the constrained space available in Downtown Vancouver. In Burnaby, “we have more flexibility to look at other ways of achieving the idea of a physical separation from cars.”
New plan in works Over in New Westminster, transportation engineer Jerry Behl said the Hornby type of bike lane would be definitely considered if a lot of people told city hall it was necessary for them to feel

safe cycling. In terms of commuter routes, after the Crosstown Greenway along Seventh Avenue, the Sapperton section of the Central Valley Greenway, and the London-Dublin Greenway, city hall next plans to look at potential north-south routes, particularly around the Downtown area, Behl said. Otherwise, any other major cycling projects will have to await the completion of a new transportation master plan for New Westminster. A consultant will be hired and is expected to start work in a couple of months, with the planning and public consultation process to take at least a year. Susan Buss, 47, cycles the two kilometres from her west side Royal City home to her job at New Westminster Public Library in her work clothes. Other than perhaps shoes, she doesn’t need to change. She’s very active, she said, so she has to really exert herself to sweat, something that doesn’t happen on her trip to work. Buss too is fairly satisfied with local bike routes, but could see more people commuting on two wheels if transit provided better access, such as a SkyTrain car for all wheeled vehicles (bikes, strollers and motorized scooters) to use during peak periods. In the end, cycling to work is a lot easier than many people realize, and it gets easier the more it’s done, she said.
GPS IN BMW LEADS TO ARREST An escaped prisoner was arrested last Tuesday following a police chase. Andrew Shizgal was taken into custody after a Burnaby family reported their house had been burglarized and their BMW stolen. The family had called BMW corporate offices, who activated their GPS. Police located the car in North Burnaby and used the Air One helicopter to track the vehicle and apprehend Shizgal. Shizgal had walked away from the minimum security Ferndale Institution in Mission on May 23, where he was serving a 10-year sentence for several breakand-enter charges. He had 18 months left to serve before being eligible for parole. Shizgal appeared in B.C. provincial court June 8 to answer to charges of breaking and entering, theft, one charge of obstructing a peace officer and a further charge of escaping lawful custody.

‘You gotta laugh and you gotta like what you do’ Burnaby Mountain student aims to build, headed to BCIT carpentry in the fall By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
Kenneth Lai was 12 when he did what many other boys his age do—he asked his mom for some spending money. “She gave me $10,” he recalled. “As I was leaving, I thought, ‘I should be able to do this myself, it’s just $10.’” It may have only been a little bit of money, but Lai knew how hard his mom had worked for it. A single mother, she was raising two boys while working in retail. And so the Grade 12 student at Burnaby Mountain secondary started charting a path for himself that has led to a burgeoning career in trades. He plans to enter the carpentry apprenticeship program at B.C. Institute of Technology in the fall, and when he’s got that ticket, he hopes to get another, as an electrician. But it all started with his first job after he decided to earn his own spending money, mowing the lawn of a family friend in exchange for $10 and a large Pepsi. He grimaces at the memory of the several hours it took him. He noted he still cuts the lawn, although his price is now $25 and it doesn’t take nearly as
long. “It’s always best at the end because they chill the Pepsi for me.” One gets the feeling that Lai is a guy that takes the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. So when another family friend, carpenter Douglas Loo, who he refers to as his “uncle,” offered him work and carpentry training, he was game. His mother, however, warned him that work is not fun. But luckily, that advice never stuck. Lai came home from his first day helping build a fence all smiles. “It was fun.” Lai is currently in the secondary school apprenticeship program, where he earns graduation credits for working on job sites for part of his week. And he’s since learned to build furniture while also becoming proficient at minor home repairs. He recently fixed a broken closet door and built a shoe rack for his mom and plans to build himself a bed one day, as well as a house. “I’ve got to find a place to build it, but there’ll be no labour. I’m the labour,” he said proudly. As for his mom, he said, “People tell me she’s proud of me.” In between, he’s also found
time to engage in his other passions, such as singing and acting. He and his buddies started an alternative rock band, Magic Focus, and he got the lead role in the school musical last year, Lucky Stiff. One of his favourite things to do is make people laugh, something he’s taken to a new level through his participation in Burnaby Mountain’s senior improv team, which won second place at the nationals recently. When the junior improv team was without a coach, he stepped in to help in a season that saw them take third place at the junior nationals. Lai concedes that carpentry wasn’t what he grew up wanting to be. “I wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time. I still have that desire in the back of my head, but it’s not very practical, so maybe I’ll pursue it as a hobby.” Noting he also has a love of music, he added with a laugh, “Maybe I’m a singing paleontologist kind of guy.” At age 18, Lai appears to have already unravelled the secrets of life: “you gotta laugh and you gotta like what you do. “Honestly, all I want in life is to be happy. That’s why I’m doing what I do.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Pilot project aims to teach immigrants how to recycle Practice not part of culture in Africa: Mtatiro By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
A pilot project hopes to teach African immigrants how to recycle in Burnaby, as a way to not only reduce waste headed to landfills but to promote integration into the community. The project is being spearheaded by Climate Corps for Africa, a local and international volunteer organization run by Paul Mtatiro, himself an immigrant, originally from Tanzania. It was while he was living in Birmingham, U.K. that he first created the program to reach out to fellow members of the African immigrant community to train them to recycle. “Recycling is not part of the African culture,” Mtatiro said. “We don’t recycle there, we dump it into the landfill.” While living in England, he saw that was still the case for immigrants in their adopted home. “I don’t want to see my brethren come here, they’re given a home and cannot do what people do here. That is not right.” So he established a successful program which he is replicating in the Lower Mainland, his current home. Essentially, people in the community who can speak the immigrants’ languages are recruited and trained in how to recycle. They then spread the word among those
in their cultural communities. Metro Vancouver has assisted by producing materials so far in Arabic, a commonly spoken language in many parts of Africa. In addition to translating materials, Metro Vancouver is working on educational materials that convey the message in graphics to be more easily understood despite language barriers, said Peter Cech of Metro Vancouver. Ann Kuajok, a member of the South Sudanese Association, has been recruited to help train others, thanks to her ability to speak Arabic. Even if materials are available in their language, many in the community don’t have the literacy skills to read it, which is why it’s important to have someone that can help explain it to them, she said. Cech said the program has the potential to be rolled out in the rest of the Lower Mainland and to other immigrant communities. “It’s a way to get into communities we would otherwise have a challenge getting into,” he said. “They’re going in and saying, ‘This is the social norm.’ That’s a very powerful motivator for people to change their behaviour. It increases the likelihood of changing behaviour than just reading a brochure.” For more information visit climatecorpsafrica.com.

The sun’s glorious rays It’s not hard to notice who’s been taking full advantage of the first tantalizing tastes of summer weather. They’re the people with the bright red glow on their arms, their legs, their nose, the back of their neck, the top of their head. Living in a northern climate where winter rain, snow and grey can dog us for half the year, we’ve developed a fine appreciation for warm sunny days. When it comes to the weather, it’s often feast or famine; after the famine of a dismal winter, we feast on the first rays of warm sunshine. But as with all good things like ice cream, you can have too much. Gorging on soft serve might give you an upset stomach, overindulging on sunshine can kill you. In 2009, more than 75,000 Canadians were diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer, and another 5,000 were diagnosed with melanoma. Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Canadians. Our culture has come to value a healthy glow; it suggests a healthy lifestyle, especially among younger Canadians. But for those born in the 1990s, there’s a one-in-six lifetime risk they’ll get skin cancer, while those born in the 1960s have only a one in 20 lifetime risk. Awareness campaigns are having some effect. A number of local high schools are promoting tan-free proms to discourage grads from hitting the beach or tanning salon prior to their big night. When the sun comes out and the temperature rises after weeks of dreary rain and cold, it’s often easy to forget just how strong those rays can be. Working too long in the garden, taking a hike, riding the bike or spending a lazy afternoon on the patio without protection from the sun can have consequences years down the road. So when the weatherman calls for glorious sunshine, remember to wear a hat, cover those arms with sleeves or slather on some sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. A little prevention can mean a longer life.

Question of the week
In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefit. And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to test-drive. The subject of used cars came up last week when NDP leader Adrian Dix belatedly launched his own anti-HST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory. Dix’s first media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. The homeowner dismissed the $350 HST rebate he has been offered to offset costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car. This clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars. This is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters. There are signs that people understand their taxes better, however. An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consumption rather than their income. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Last Saturday a lot of people stopped by the Burnaby North NDP table at Hats Off Day—so many that we ran out of “I Am NDP” buttons and stickers. The question on most people’s minds was, “how do we vote against the HST?” Voters are not fooled by Christy Clark’s attempt to buy our support for the HST with our own money. We can do the math. The phased-in reduction doesn’t start to kick in for another year. Even by the government’s own calculation, it will take those who get the rebate until 2020 to start seeing some meagre savings on the HST. It will take the rest of us until 2023. That’s a long time to trust that the government will remember the promises it made in 2011. Meantime, Clark’s tinkering with the HST will result in a budget shortfall of $1.8 billion. I predict that if she is allowed to stay in power this deficit she herself created will come to be seen as a crisis, one that has to be managed on the backs of working families— resulting in more and higher users fees, and cuts to social services. She’ll invoke the tired and discredited old saw that corporate tax cuts create jobs. The HST is part of a long term and structural tax shift away from corporations and onto individuals. The long term loss

Evergreen Line — just get it done I read this morning that construction of the Evergreen Line has been delayed again because of a disagreement over where the funding is to come from. The people in the northeast part of Metro Vancouver have been waiting for a very long time. That line is desperately needed and should have been completed by now. Ottawa and the province have each pledged about $400 million, and the balance is to be provided by Metro Vancouver cities on a formula they are to agree upon. Which is the problem. In my experience they can’t agree on anything so not surprisingly there is disagreement about how their $400 million plus share is to be raised. This farce has gone on long enough. Instead of a further lengthy delay I would like to see some real leadership from
the province. Give them a 30-day deadline to reach agreement and if they don’t, impose a funding formula. Since municipal governments receive all their power by delegation from the province, the province can impose whatever funding formula it wants. I am tired of everyone trying to blame everyone else. Get on with the job. Just get it done. Garth Evans Burnaby
Seeking information about an ancestor I am helping a person in England obtain some details about a relative, pre-1958, in Burnaby and New Westminster. Emily Jane Salter (nee Watt) passed away June 12, 1958 at Royal Columbian Hospital. She apparently lived at 477 13th Avenue, Burnaby age 80 years. Survived by two sons John and William and six grandchildren. Interment was at Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster. Emily married Walter Salter in England in 1903 and they emigrated to Canada. Walter was killed in action during the First World War. Any hints, clues or pleasant surprises would be greatly appreciated. D.J. Dobson Ontario davey.gravey@sympatico.ca

POLICE BRIEFS
Teenager slashed in robbery
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Despite a rainy day, volunteers from the Lower Mainland Green Team and the Burnaby Lake Park Association came out recently and removed a variety of invasives from the regional park.
Volunteers tackle invasive plants On a recent rainy Sunday afternoon, 26 volunteers with the Lower Mainland Green Team gathered at Burnaby Lake Regional Park. There the team met with the Burnaby Lake Park Association, the host of this event who educated the group about what invasive plants were and why it was important to remove them. The park association also provided equipment, tools and nrefreshments.
The volunteers from both groups then removed scotch broom, ivy, lamium and policeman’s helmet in the park. These invasive plants have detrimental impacts on ecosystems and are a threat to biodiversity. According to Green Team organizer Lyda Salatian, they spread quickly and choke out native plants. “Burnaby Lake is the home of a large variety of wildlife and has a rich ecology, taking care of it is
important,” Salatian says. “The volunteers got muddy, sweaty, wet from the rain but it didn’t stop the huge smiles of satisfaction each time they won the battle to remove an invasive plant.” To learn more about the Lower Mainland Green Team, visit www.meetup. com/the-lower-mainlandgreen-team. Or, to volunteer for the Burnaby Lake Park Association visit burnabylakepark.ca.
A teenaged boy was slashed with a knife during an attempted robbery in North Burnaby earlier this month. The 17-year-old boy was walking alone on the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail, near Union Street and Duthie Avenue, at about 5 p.m. on June 2 when he was approached by three dark-skinned males, say Burnaby RCMP. The suspects demanded that the victim give them “his stuff.” When he refused, one of the attackers lunged at him with a knife and slashed his right shoulder. When they realized they had wounded the teen, the trio fled, running north on the path towards Union Street. They did not manage to steal anything during the incident. The teen tended to his wounds at a friend’s home nearby, eventually making his way to Royal Columbian Hospital with the help of a Good Samaritan he met on SkyTrain. He was treated for a cut on his shoulder and released. The suspects are all described as possibly South Asian, between five-foot-six and six-feet
tall but described as not very tall. One was wearing dark blue baggy jeans with a colourful design on the back pockets, black sneakers, a white hat with a flipped up brim, and a black jacket with diamond tribal patterns on the front. He wore large diamond earrings in each ear. He was the only one who spoke and is described as having a “thuggish” accent. The second suspect was wearing black track pants with a white or grey stripe down the leg and an overly-baggy red sweater with a hood. He had black hair combed in a “faux-hawk.” The third suspect is only described as wearing a grey sweater. Anyone with information on the incident, or the identity of the suspects, is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.
Weapons, pot found in home A 24-year-old man has been arrested after RCMP found numerous weapons in a Burnaby home where police believe they were being sold, along with marijuana.
On May 30, RCMP drug officers working in Burnaby executed a search warrant on a house in the 7000-block of Curtis Street, according to RCMP’s E Division. When they entered the home, the 24-year-old suspect was within arm’s reach of a loaded .44 calibre revolver and a loaded 9-mm pistol. A search of the house found an Uzi submachine gun with a silencer and ammunition, a bullet-resistant vest, five additional 9-mm pistols, a sawed-off shotgun, more silencers, a machete, a Taser, gloves, masks, wrist locks, many rounds of ammunition and a quantity of marijuana. All the firearms are either restricted or prohibited, none were licensed or properly secured and some of the serial numbers were removed. The investigators say evidence suggests that both the guns and marijuana were being sold out of the home. The suspect is known to police and is expected to face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking marijuana and many firearms charges.

The politics of the HST By Adrian MacNair BLACK PRESS
If you ask most tax economists about the harmonized sales tax, they’ll say the controversy has little to do with economics – the broad-based HST is clearly more efficient for businesses, government and consumers – and a lot to do with political optics. “Most economists feel the HST is an improvement, and I don’t think I’ve heard any reputable economist say otherwise,” said Hamish Telford, professor of political science at the University of the Fraser Valley. Telford said there are additional costs to consumers with the HST, but they’ve been offset somewhat with government rebates to low-income earners. He said the BC Liberals had a poor communications strategy from the outset and that continues to plague them. When the HST was introduced in July 2009, two months after the BC Liberals were re-elected, it contradicted their own electoral campaign. Peter Simpson, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, said they, along with the restaurant industry, received a letter of assurance from the government that it wouldn’t be implemented. “The biggest mis-
Referendum on the HST Referendum ballots are being sent to residents this month, asking them to cast their vote for whether they want to return to the previous GST/ PST regime, or to stick with the HST status quo. They must be returned by July 22. take the government made when they rolled this out was a lack of consultation,” he said. But Simpson acknowledged the HST benefits the kind of economic growth and job creation that allows people to buy new homes, and said the government has made changes. Initially, only homes valued below $400,000 were HST exempt, but that threshold was far too low for the Lower Mainland’s hot housing market. Raising it to $525,000 has helped buyers and builders, though it’s still below the regional average. Simpson said the government could also help by revamping the property transfer tax on new homes. Introduced in 1987 when an average Lower Mainland home cost $112,000, it is still assessed at one per cent on the first $200,000 of value and two per cent on the balance. Glen Thompson, an organizer for Fight HST, said the fact the HST brought in $1.3 billion in additional revenue either proved the government doesn’t know what it’s doing, or else is deceiving people. He isn’t convinced by the proposed two per cent cut to the HST by 2014 either. “Of course, the businesses are happy about this. Without producing anything new they’re getting somebody else to pay
their tax bill,” he said. But Telford said that kind of attitude is a case of “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” He said it doesn’t make sense to vote against good policy because of the way it was introduced. Nearly 50 per cent of B.C.’s $5 billion PST revenue was collected from businesses in the production of goods and services, but economists say those business costs were passed on to consumers in the form of hidden “embedded” taxes. British Columbians paid taxes on goods, but they weren’t visible. “In some ways it’s the old adage, what people don’t know didn’t hurt them. Now that they see the whole price of the tax they feel hurt,” Telford said. If left intact, by 2020 the HST is expected to create 24,400 new jobs in the province. Thompson isn’t impressed. He said anybody can invent jobs statistics, but it’s more important to measure the kind of jobs they are and how much they pay. Thompson doesn’t believe the HST is worth it, even at 10 per cent. There is no precedent anywhere in the world for shifting from a value-added tax like the HST back to a sales tax like the PST. Although there

are steep economic costs of returning to the PST, Thompson said B.C. doesn’t have a choice. “I guess it gets expensive when you get caught in a lie. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to pay the price for their lies,” he said. Although 12 per cent might be a “bitter pill to swallow” for home buyers, Simpson notes other provinces, like Nova Scotia, have HST rates at 15 per cent. And despite some dampening effects of the HST, he said the province is in better shape keeping it. Telford notes the irony that many HST opponents are poor and moderate income earners who actually gain under the HST. Low-income seniors are actually doubly compensated because their benefits are indexed for the price increases caused by the implementation of the HST. He said he hopes people will realize the penalties of going back to the PST, but speculated those who will be the most motivated to vote in the referendum are the ones who are still angry about it. The province is mailing out voting packages between June 13 to 24, and voters have until July 22 to return them. Final results are expected in late August.

NDP leader Adrian Dix brought his low-key “stop the HST” tour to a Victoria coffee shop last week, calling for people to vote yes in the upcoming referendum on the harmonized sales tax. Flanked by Vancouver Island MLAs, a local naturopath and a theatre manager, Dix said he and other NDP members will ask the public to vote for a return to the seven-per-cent provincial sales tax. He’s counting on voters to be reminded of the HST’s extra consumer costs whenever they buy a coffee and muffin. “My job is just to go around and talk to people, to knock on doors and to put forward the very compelling case that we should return to the PST, and we should get rid of the HST,” Dix told reporters in his second stop of the tour. Dix contrasted the NDP’s effort, which has no specific budget, to the B.C. Liberal government’s $5 million advertising campaign and the unknown spending of the businesses promoting the HST under the Smart Tax Alliance label. The B.C. government’s “stick man” ad campaign began as neutral information, but now promotes the promise to lower the HST rate to 10 per cent over three years.

NDP leader Adrian Dix is flanked by MLA Carole James, naturopath Pamela Hutchison and MLA Lana Popham at a Victoria coffee shop that has included HST in its posted prices.
Naturopath Pamela Hutchison said the provincial portion of HST extended to vitamins and alternative therapies has reduced demand for them. Ian Case, manager of Intrepid Theatre, said the extra sevenper-cent tax on tickets is depressing sales for performing arts events. Last Tuesday’s kickoff event in Burnaby was held in a family kitchen, to highlight the independent estimate that a family with $100,000 income pays an average of $1,000 a year more, as long as the HST remains at 12 per cent. Homeowner Richard Stanley
incorrectly claimed the promised $175 rebate cheque he will get for each of his two children would be “gone several times over” if he buys a used car under the HST. Like most goods, new and used vehicles are not affected, since they were subject to the five-percent federal GST and the PST before the HST came into effect last year. Elections BC is sending out more than three million ballots starting this week for the mailin referendum, with a target of having them all delivered by June 24. They must be returned by July 22 to be counted.

Running for 24 hours makes for a lot of weary muscles. Heck, doing anything for 24 hours takes a toll. To ease the aches and pains of the dozens of teams of relay runners participating in this weekend’s Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, a group of 12 students from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster will be offering their unique hands-on expertise. It’s a chance for the students to practise the massage techniques they’ve learned in the classroom on real world athletes, earn school credits and, perhaps most importantly, develop an appreciation for the importance of giving back to the community, says Rich Ingram, clinic manager. “It gives the students a sense of community involvement as well as marketing,” says Ingram, whose students also set up their massage tables at events like the Vancouver Marathon, the MS Bike Tour and the Run For Life. “It’s a win-win situation.” But the carnival atmosphere of the 24 Hour Relay makes it a particular draw for aspiring masseurs and masseuses. “It’s a lot of fun,” says Ingram, whose team will be on hand for six hours on Saturday afternoon to knead and pound away the runners’ aches and pains. The Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay in Burnaby is one of 11 such events held across the country to raise money to send kids with disabilities to summer camps. Over the years the relays have raised more than $51 million nationally. To donate to a team or runner, go to www.24hourrelay.com. water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Place the asparagus in the basket, cover, and steam about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and transfer to a plate. Let stand until cooled.

Experts study extreme weather Weather and climate experts from across Canada gathered in Victoria earlier this month to share their latest findings on the extreme events they expect to increase as industrialized societies continue to pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Scientists are presenting papers that examine all sorts of extreme weather events, including high winds, blizzards and tornadoes. Studies also
examine ocean effects such as increased acidity and lower oxygen content. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake welcomed delegates last Monday to the 45th annual meeting of the the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. Lake reminded delegates of B.C.’s “aggressive” target to reduce B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions 33 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. B.C.’s carbon tax on fossil fuels is about to increase for the

B.C. Premier Christy Clark has committed to follow through with another round of carbon tax increases in 2012 third time since it was introduced in 2008. On July 1 the tax goes up just over a cent to 5.56 cents on a litre of gasoline, 6.39 cents on a litre of diesel and similar increases for natural gas, jet fuel, coal and other carbonbased fuels. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has committed to follow through with another round of carbon tax increases in 2012, and is continuing former premier Gordon Campbell’s policy that all government operations should be “carbon neutral.” That proved controversial this spring as the Pacific Carbon Trust chose what projects the Crown corporation would fund with carbon cred-

Among the recipients is EnCana Corp., whose natural gas wells and facilities in northeastern B.C. put it among the province’s largest greenhouse gas emitters. Opposition critics pointed out that companies such as EnCana are exempt from carbon tax on their industrial process emissions, and school districts end up subsidizing their cleanup efforts while struggling to balance budgets. Lake said B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5 million to be come carbon neutral in 2010. NDP education critic Robin Austin said the B.C. government should use the carbon offset payments to upgrade the energy efficiency of school facilities, rather than giving the money to profitable corporations. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Harry Pride and Don Copan helped found Burnaby Village Museum 40 years ago as a BC Centennial legacy project. They’re standing in front of the first building on the site, Ellworth House.
Burnaby Village Museum had its origins as a project to mark the centennial of B.C. entering Confederation. But it also came out of a sense of pride over how far Burnaby had come.

joked Copan. “Burnaby didn’t have a good self image,” added Pride, noting a project like Heritage Village aimed to bring a sense of pride to the municipality. So, after Burnaby council set a budget of $269,000 and provided the land, construction began on the village main street, near an existing 1920s era house, now known as Elworth House, in April 1971. In October of that year, the Century Park Museum Association was formed to run it, and on Nov. 19, Governor-General Roland Michener officially opened it. It was an instant success, with about 15,000 people coming through during its first three days. “Then we closed it,” said Copan with a laugh. It had rushed to open to coincide with Michener’s visit and the centennial year, but was then shut down until the following summer. Over the years, the site has seen numerous changes. The B.C. Society of Model Engineers ran its miniature railway on what is now the meadow until leaving in 1991 to facilitate its eventual move to Confederation Park. The Interurban tram car was moved from its original location at Kingsway and Edmonds to the village site, before being restored by volunteers and placed inside a specially-built tram barn a few years ago. Other buildings were moved to the site in bids to preserve them, from the Tom Irvine House and Bell’s Drygoods Store in 1974 and the Royal
Bank building (moved from Britannia Beach) to the Love farmhouse in 1988. It’s helped mark other centennials. The 100th anniversary of when the first Japanese settler came to B.C. was commemorated with a replica of a Japanese ofuro, or bathhouse, built by the Japanese Canadian Citizens Association in 1977. And what is now the log cabin started out
life as a replica outpost for the Northwest Mounted Police, which celebrated its centennial in 1974. And there was the restoration of the PNE carousel, which has become a favourite attraction for kids of all ages since opening in 1993. In 1984, it changed its name to Burnaby Village Museum and three years later, it expanded from its original four acres to
about 10 acres, spanning both sides of the creek. The latter move included construction of the current administration building and a climate-controlled storage facility in the basement where much of the museum collection is catalogued and kept. Remarkably, until 1989, it was all run by volunteers through the non-profit Century Park Museum Association, whose main source of revenue was ticket sales and its gift shop. As it grew, it became less manageable until the group asked Burnaby city hall to take over its operations.
••••• In the beginning, the volunteer-run group solicited donations of artifacts to decorate the village buildings. That formed the beginnings of the museum collection, which has since become somewhat stricter in what it accepts, strengthening a focus on Burnaby connections, said Codd. But it’s all part
of how the community perceives the museum. “People didn’t necessarily come [to Burnaby] to work and make their fortune, they came here to make their homes.” In the same vein, people have made themselves at home in the village. “It’s a place they know their stories and history will be kept.” Visitors to the village, from grandparents and parents to children, come to create their own memories, she said. “It’s a place where people can be at home with history. Not a fancy place where the past is sealed off behind glass, and security guards remind you to keep it down. A place where you experience the past by talking to interpreters, touching stuff, eating ice cream, riding on a carousel, and hearing from your parents or grandparents what their lives used to be like. Hopefully, the village is a place that people have made their own.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Metro Vancouver must do more than simply ban wood waste from the dump if it wants to boost recycling rates in the region’s construction and demolition sector, say industry leaders.
The last in a series of public dialogues on Metro’s Zero Waste Challenge strategy heard experts call for a coordinated approach to ensure it’s easier to drop off wood – particularly for residential demolitions. “If they ban wood waste completely but they don’t put in place where it can go, they run the risk then of people circumventing the regulation and

dumping the stuff illegally,” warned Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association CEO Peter Simpson, one of the speakers May 31 in Surrey. Construction, renovation and demolition work generates 1.3 million tonnes of waste in the region each year. While 76 per cent of that is already recycled – thanks to effective handling of marketable materials like drywall and metals – Metro intends to ban wood from garbage disposal by 2015 in an effort to pull yet more material from the waste stream. It’s part of the region’s strategy to boost the overall recycling rate from 55 to 70 per cent. Legitimate contractors will comply with a wood waste ban while passing higher costs on to home owners, Simpson said. But he said those rules will be ignored by scofflaws and worsen Metro’s already burgeoning billion-dollar underground cash economy for renovations and demolitions. “It will penalize those who choose to operate above-board and play by the rules,” he predicted. Simpson said it may make the most sense to require permitted contractors to send all waste to an authorized licensed facility, which would sort waste off site. Corinne Fulton, general manager of 3R Demolition, said complete deconstruction – rather than demolition – of some buildings is possible, achieving very high recycling rates. The challenge is where to put salvaged items like windows and door frames and how to market them. Some items – like toilets – may not be reusable because of changing building standards. “Deconstruction is good,” Fulton said. “We do a lot of that on our commercial projects. But in the residential sector there just isn’t the market to move all those things.” She said 65 to 75 per cent of materials can be recovered from a conventional demolition, including wood,
concrete, metals and even trees and shrubs. Metro senior planning manager Ken Carrusca said the regional district intends to provide a draft bylaw to municipalities that would regulate wood waste recycling. Someone who gets a building or demolition permit may also be required to take material to an approved recycling facility and then bring back verification showing how much was recycled. It’s hoped that will foster development of other uses for wood and similar salvage materials, leading to more intensive recycling. “You do need the regulations and at the same time places to take the material,” Carrusca said. Much wood now collected in the region ends up at Urban Woodwaste Recyclers, which was bought last year by U.S-based Harvest Power. The firm now handles 170,000 tonnes per year and is pursuing a major expansion of its New Westminster operation, which could eventually add its own wood-fired heat and power plant, heating Royal Columbian Hospital and other nearby users through a district energy system. Similar wood wastefired energy utilities are now being built at UBC and SFU. “I hope we’re doing 400,000 tonnes by the end of 2013,” Richard Babcock of Harvest Power said. The company also bought Richmond Soil and Fibre, which has a regional contract with Metro to compost organic waste being collected in local cities. Clean uncontaminated wood goes there for composting, Babcock said. For the most part, wood recycling doesn’t mean manufacturing new wood-based products. At least 60 per cent of the waste wood Urban handles is shredded and combined with bits of plastic and other combustible material to become a fuel burned by industries like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper and Lafarge Cement.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a gentle soul, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Del is survived by his loving wife Bette, son Richard, daughter-in-law Judy, granddaughter Debbie-Lynn (Michael), grandson Dean (Amber) and four great grandchildren Tristan, Alexandra, Dylan and Carter. He is also survived by three sisters Denise, Pauline (Jack) and Yvette (Eric) and brother Andy. Del served in the RCAF in WW2 and became a Chef, later working in Calgary and Edmonton Hospitals and then the Vancouver Hotel. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to the building of the famous Dels Drive-In in Campbell River and his love for real estate inspired commercial projects and businesses.
