SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP
What does it take to be a candidate? By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER
N
ew Westminster school trustee Lisa Graham and her family were in a McDonald’s one day munching on hamburgers when out of the blue, her husband David said, “You know, if you worked at McDonald’s full time ...” Graham wondered where he was going with this. “...You would make more money ...” “... You would work fewer hours than you do on the school board.” And she waited for his punch line. “And we’d get free french fries.” He wasn’t far from the truth, says Graham after telling the story. School trustees, for instance, make less than $25,000 a year. So, if it isn’t the money, what motivates someone to give up many hours of their week to attend meetings, civic events and study staff reports in the name of civic duty?
Start at grassroots Gord Larkin understands the challenge of convincing good people to run. As president of the Burnaby Citizens’ Association, that’s an important part of his job. He says most BCA candidates start out by being involved in the community, whether it’s working on building a playground at
their kids’ school or volunteering for a minor sport organization. Larkin says eventually people decide to run for office because the challenge of making the city better appeals to them. “Regardless of party, people have to have that commitment to public service. It’s time consuming and you just want to have to serve,” says Larkin. “It certainly isn’t the remuneration in municipal politics, and politicians aren’t the most adored people in the world.” Neil Powell got his start at the grassroots. Although he won’t be running this time, the Voice New Westminster organizer previously ran for council after being involved in his local residents association. “For others it’s a bevy of things that they see in their city or on their school board that they want to see changed,” says Powell of candidate motivation. “[For me] some of the community concerns were not being served by those on council. Other interests were being served other than those of citizens and taxpayers.” Recruiting quality candidates is not easy, he says, because they need to have an accommodating schedule or an extremely understanding employer. “It’s difficult because it requires a lot of your time once you’re elected,” says Powell. “Mounting a campaign is time consuming, along with also having fulltime employment.”

“Perception can often become the reality,” says Smith, who believes weak civic election legislation in British Columbia is a big reason why that’s the case. “[Former BC Liberal cabinet minister] Bill Bennett described it quite correctly as the Wild West. There are no limits on spending, no limits on contributions and no limits on where they come from, including outside the country,” says Smith. “We’re probably the last jurisdiction in the country where that’s possible.” To run in the Nov. 19 civic elections, the deadline for candidates to put their name forward to run for city council or school board is Oct. 14. Those considering a run are best advised to do it out of duty, a political scientist says.
Public expects a lot Time is just one thing a civic politician must provide to do an effective job. An uncommon amount of common sense, knowledge of the community and the inner workings of city hall or school district, and being decisive in a fair and just manner are also helpful. “We ask our local politicians to do a fair bit,” says SFU political science professor Patrick Smith, a North Burnaby resident. And yet we don’t pay them much, or even provide them with support such as giving them personal staff, he adds. Some politicians are more ego-driven than others. “For someone to put themselves out in front of a community, it does require a bit of ego. But it’s my experience that most people enter
public life for the good.” Judging by low voter turnout, it seems most residents don’t find out who their civic politicians are until something on their street, or with their home, goes wrong. Despite public apathy, councillors and trustees have a lot of power because cities do a range of things that are essential. Still, that doesn’t stop some people from taking a cynical view of a civic politician’s motivation when he or she votes a certain way in council chambers or at a board meeting. Those doubts often surface in relation to proposals from developers who contribute to election campaigns, or when politicians are voting on contract for unions—another significant campaign contributor.
Inspired by family For Graham, who has been a trustee for three terms, public service was instilled in her from an early age by her parents, particularly her father, who was an RCMP officer for 35 years. She was also inspired because she has an autistic son, and over the years has actively advocated for him. It was while doing that work when someone suggested she’d make a good trustee, adding it wouldn’t be too much trouble because the board only met two Tuesdays a month. It didn’t quite work out that way. “School district issues consume your life because they’re that important,” says Graham, who plans to run again Nov. 19. “You realize you have to step up, but it’s also very satisfying to advocate for others.” ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com
MAN CHARGED IN SEXUAL ASSAULTS Vancouver Police Department has charged a man with several sexual assaults against young female victims including several incidents in Burnaby.

Metrotown library finds bedbugs in books By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
It may not have been a mystery but it was certainly a thriller for Metrotown library staff and patrons in recent weeks after bedbugs were found in the branch recently. Metrotown branch manager Deb Thomas said it received the first of two reports of bedbugs being found in books on Sept. 19. In one case, a dead bedbug was found and in the other, the bedbug was still alive. The patron took the book home and brought it all the way back, with the live bedbug inside, as soon as it was discovered, Thomas said. “That was immediately bagged.” The pest was confirmed to be a bedbug, prompting the library to call in a pest control company who were on the scene within a day. Thanks to bedbug sniffer dog Ranger, the company was able to pinpoint the location of
the problem—the mystery and thriller section. No additional bugs were found, but some eggs were detected. All the books in that section, several hundreds of them, were sealed in plastic bags and isolated in a room in the library’s parkade. The pest control company steam treated those areas of the library and just this past Thursday, it “cooked” the books in something akin to a mobile convection oven, which heated them to about 50 C to kill any remaining bugs. “Just to be extra, extra careful we are having the books re-inspected before they go back on the shelves ... with the canine sniffer,” Thomas said. The re-inspection will take place a week after the heat treatment to take into account germination periods, and any books that don’t pass the sniff test will be discarded. The sniffer dog will also be re-inspecting the entire library branch just to be on the safe side. “We feel like we’ve basically taken every possible precaution to make sure that it hasn’t affected anybody else.” The initial reports came from two patrons and two other patrons were identified as being at risk based on the
affected books’ borrowing history. Those patrons were notified of the issue, she said. Thomas said bedbugs in libraries are not that common with a “few rare occurrences in the Lower Mainland.” She stressed that such facilities are not an ideal breeding ground for the pest. “They’re hard surfaces, they’re cleaned daily, in some cases more than once a day, depending on the area, and generally bedbugs like to feed on people at night and there’s nobody here at night. “It’s very easy to contain pretty quickly as long as you’re alerted early on, and we were in this case.” She added, “I don’t think that there’s a high risk of getting an infestation from the library.” Since the incident, the branch has put in place a protocol for dealing with similar incidents. Staff are being vigilant and have been instructed to bag items immediately if it contains a pest requiring identification. “I think we’ve made sure there’s no further danger to the public.” Anyone with concerns is welcome to call Metrotown branch manager Deb Thomas at 604-436-5400.

—EDITORIAL—
Stadium sticker shock There’s no doubt the facelift given to BC Place’s tired and worn concrete structure is spectacular. Iconic a structure as it was, it had become a faded, dirty pillow on Vancouver’s skyline. Now the transformation has given it the look of a gargantuan rack-of-lamb hooked up to Christmas tree lights. It has definitely brightened up Vancouver’s look, especially at night, for the better. BC Place long ago lost its pizzazz. It was hot and stuffy inside during the summer. The interior was stark, the blue seats blah. The sound system was brutal. The scoreboard pathetically tiny, and the video board lame. Not only did the BC Lions have trouble attracting spectators, but PavCo—the Crown corporation that operates the stadium— struggled to bring in other events. At a minimum it needed a new lid. If this was a house, most cost-conscious homeowners might have just fixed the leaky roof. That would have been the simple Band-Aid solution, and B.C. taxpayers might have been OK with it since it would have been the least costly. The most expensive solution—well over a billion dollars—would have been to demolish it and build another stadium, kind of like what happens every time a Lower Mainland home changes ownership these days. PavCo and the province had to consider whether to go for the basic renovation, the extreme makeover involving upgrading almost every nook and cranny, or the tear down. They opted for Door No. 2 at a cost of $563 million. The decision came at a time when health, education and infrastructure costs were taking off. Half a billion dollars would have been a help in any of those sectors. Part of the plan to pay off the reno on steroids is to sell or lease surrounding property for residential, hotel and casino development. Reports indicate the province will still be on the hook for about half the cost. Despite the glorious glow of the weekend, for many B.C. taxpayers the sticker shock will never wear off.

Question of the week
replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million. “I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cellphones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.” I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating. In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies. WHO also notes that cellphone tower emissions are effectively five times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that. I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

As the City of Burnaby honours its “Burnaby Heroes” this month, my mind turns to the many unsung Burnaby heroes I have met in the course of living and volunteering here. These individuals exhibit unbelievable courage, unwavering nobility, astonishing resilience and inspiring passion for helping others. These people have touched my heart and changed my life and I want to take the time to honour them… The parents of children with special needs, who stand in their child’s corner, fighting for their resources, working hard to meet their child’s needs every day and to build a future for them, often feeling exhausted but pushing on for the love of their child and others like them—they are my heroes. The 90-year-old lady who plays tennis for four hours three times a week with her “younger” cohorts, always smiling and encouraging everyone to keep active so they can enjoy their life—she is my hero. The refugee families that arrive in our school system fresh from witnessing their family members killed right in front of them or their loved ones taken away by force, and who work so hard to learn a new language, a new culture, and to build a different life for their children, sometimes by working two jobs, struggling to make ends meet, yet somehow, who still manage a smile for you when they drop the kids off at school in the morning—they are my heroes. The staff at community schools, who not only teach our children, but pour out their hearts and their own resources to meet the needs of the families in the community, who carry those children home with them at night—in their minds and hearts—not taking a job at a different site perhaps because they know this is where the kids really need a wonderful teacher like them—they are my heroes. The dad who walks on crutches, as he has only one leg (a war injury, perhaps) but accompanies his child to school every day, walking him into a new life—he is my hero. The couple who overcame cancer and blindness and opened up a restaurant in Burnaby, serving delicious cultural cuisine to regulars like myself, until recently having to close down due to another battle with cancer—they are my heroes. You, when you stop to buy a homeless person a sandwich, when you hold the door open for an elderly lady with her walker, when you forgive even though it hurts so much, when you live true to your values in the face of opposition, when you do what’s right even though no one else will—you, you are my hero.

I am pleased to be running as the Team Burnaby candidate for mayor and look forward to bringing fresh ideas and fresh thinking to Burnaby. It is true that I have run in past civic and provincial elections. I take pride in the fact that I have made a contribution to public life by running for office. I’m sure you will remember that the current mayor ran and lost many times before he was elected to council and MLA Harry Bloy ran many times unsuccessfully in civic elections before he was elected MLA. These and many other politicians were unsuccessful at the start of their political careers. They were not born into their current elected positions. I have worked hard all my life, building a career in business from scratch, earning success through dedication and perseverance. Burnaby city hall needs a mayor who can lead by example and I intend to do just that. Tom Tao TEAM Burnaby
Re: Online voting option backed by B.C. cities I wonder if voter fraud has been considered when these so-called “experts” recommend online voting. I will give one simple example of voter fraud out of the many possible ways to cheat; how will authorities deal with vote selling? We already know that many eligible voters do not vote as it is. If Person A wants to cheat and give as many votes as they can for their candidate, what will stop them from buying the voting code or number assigned to Person B who doesn’t care about elections?

Citizens may be able to remotely vote over the Internet to elect their mayor and council as early as 2014. Union of B.C. Municipalities delegates voted by a two-to-one margin Wednesday to urge the province to lay the groundwork to allow online voting as an option three years from now. Advocates of the idea say it could reverse a trend of sagging voter turnout, while detractors worry casting a ballot may no longer be secret, opening the door to vote-tampering by interest groups out to sway the result. “We all have to acknowledge the fact society has changed,” said Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer, one of the delegates who voted in favour. Just 20.5 per cent of Coquitlam voters turned out in the last election, she said, and the provincial average is 35 per cent for civic elections. White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair dismissed another delegate’s suggestion many seniors aren’t tech-savvy and wouldn’t benefit. She said one Ontario city that allows online

UBCM had its own wrangle of electronic voting at the start of proceedings this week. Delegates had been given electronic voting devices to vote on resolutions, but some questioned whether the wireless gadgets might let some vote from outside the hall – or even go golfing while other delegates vote for them. They were told it’s possible, but it would be wrong.
voting found most users are seniors with mobility problems. Others warned it’s too risky to end the long tradition of voting secretly in a ballot booth at an authorized polling place. “Online voting is fraught with danger,” said Sunshine Coast Regional District director Donna Shugar. “You don’t know who is in the room with a voter coercing or persuading them. We do not allow people to go in the polling booth with other people when they are voting.” When the voting booth becomes your computer in your home, she said, such restrictions and safe-
guards will no longer exist. “It’s too easy to hack a system,” added Fraser Valley Regional District director Wendy Bales, predicting the technology – if it backfires – may not strengthen democracy but further erode faith in the system. Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma pointed to irregularities over online voting during the BC LIberal leadership vote earlier this year. “I was busy so I phoned my wife, gave her my number and she voted for me,” Hansma said, adding there’s so far no technological solution available to block unauthorized voting or undue influence.
“This isn’t being forced on anyone,” countered Kelowna Coun. Kevin Craig. “If it’s not right for your community, you’re not being railroaded into it.” Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong has promised to pursue the idea, which would require a change of legislation and time to sort out the technological issues. Another tradition that will definitely end in 2014 is November voting. From that year on, local voting will happen in October. The election date change was approved by the province in response to a UBCM vote a year ago.

Business group targets rising municipal costs By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VANCOUVER – With municipal elections approaching in November, B.C. business groups are renewing their pressure on contenders to slow the rapid growth of local government spending. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has asked mayors and councillors attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to sign a “taxpayer pledge” that calls on them to hold operating expense growth down to the combined increase in population and inflation, and narrow the gap between property tax rates for business and residential properties. The CFIB calculates that B.C.’s municipal operating spending rose nearly 58 per cent between 2000 and 2008, twice as fast as population and inflation grew. Sechelt Mayor Darren Inkster signed the taxpayer pledge Wednesday, as did Port Moody councillor Diana Dilworth and Coquitlam councillor Linda Reimer. Coquitlam council candidates Terry O’Neill and Andy Shen also stepped up, along with Vancouver mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton and
“Unions are not to blame. It is municipal politicians who have forgotten how to say no to everything but tax increases.” three contenders for Vancouver council seats. Shachi Kurl, the B.C. director of the CFIB, said the initial response is good, considering her group was told not a single incumbent would publicly support the pledge. She’s hoping candidates for municipal office will carry the taxpayer pledge message into their campaigns. The UBCM executive issued its own analysis this spring, rebutting several years of CFIB claims that municipal spending is out of control. The UBCM analysis points to rising police, firefighting and recreation costs, as well as those imposed by senior governments such as paying for carbon offsets. Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders also signed the pledge, although he isn’t seeking reelection. He said the tax targets are similar to what his council has accomplished by this year, and he would have signed the pledge if he was running in

November. Unionized municipal workers have to look at the state of the economy and see if their wage demands are holding back the growth of their community’s business tax base, Saunders said in an interview. “The private sector can’t expect a cost of living pay increase every year, so I don’t think it’s fair in relation to union or private to say one’s going to get it but not the other,” he said. Joining the CFIB in this year’s push for spending restraint is the Independent Contractors and Business Association. The ICBA produced a report detailing a similarly steep rise in municipal fees for construction, linking it to union contracts that feature pay and perks well beyond the private sector average of recent years. ICBA president Phil Hochstein said “gold plated” union contracts with wage increases beyond inflation and benefits such as cash payouts for unused sick days are a key driver of costs. “Unions are not to blame,” Hochstein said. “It is municipal politicians who have forgotten how to say no to everything but tax increases.”

UBCM BRIEFS
Private water projects opposed Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a Burnabysponsored resolution calling on the federal government to allow continued public ownership of water and sewer plants when doling out infrastructure grants. Ottawa requires big local projects in line for grants to first go through a P3 assessment to see if money can be saved by building them as publicprivate partnerships. The issue has been hot in the Fraser Valley, where Mission and Abbotsford councils are split over whether a shared water supply expansion should be publicly or privately built. Abbotsford is now pursuing the P3 water project itself, over Mission’s objections. Metro Vancouver also faces decisions on the use of P3 partners as it plans to rebuild two major sewage treatment plants and add new waste-toenergy plants. Public sector unions
had urged civic reps to take the anti-P3 stand.
Oil tanker concerns lodged Cities are demanding close scrutiny of plans to pump more oil for export through the Lower Mainland. Kinder Morgan wants to more than double the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline that sends oil sands crude from Alberta to its terminal in north Burnaby, where oil is loaded onto tankers that sail past downtown Vancouver. An emergency resolution passed by UBCM delegates calls for the highest degree of environmental assessment and meaningful public consultation on any plans to ship more oil by pipeline or tanker in B.C. About 70 doublehulled oil tankers a year are harnessed to tugs and steered by local pilots through Burrard Inlet. Kinder Morgan is also able to send
oil from the pipeline south into Washington State at Sumas.
Metal, carbon and tanning Delegates also registered their concerns about wire theft, carbon offsets and the health risks of tanning beds. The ongoing scourge of metal theft should be dealt with through consistent provincial rules to regulate metal

UBCM BRIEFS
Smart meter freeze urged The campaign to defeat B.C. Hydro’s rollout of wireless smart meters got a boost from mayors and councillors at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday. Delegates voted 55 per cent to support a moratorium on the mandatory installation of smart meters until major issues can be resolved. “There is an important element of personal choice,” Colwood Coun. Judith Cullington said. “Some people are sensitive to this radiation and only a small amount affects them.” She said city councils across the province have been deluged in email by people deeply concerned about the possible health impacts. Some civic leaders who supported the call for a moratorium said they don’t share fears about health risks but think other concerns deserve more attention, from the cost of the meter program to the potential to charge higher rates at peak times. An initial show of hands was inconclusive so the final vote was conducted electronically – using wireless voting devices. No delegates spoke against the resolution. Premier Christy Clark said the smart meter installations will continue, despite the UBCM resolution.
Hydro crews have already installed 100,000 smart meters across B.C. and that’s to rise to 250,000 by later this fall. “I don’t share those health concerns,” Clark said Friday. She said B.C. needs an efficient smart grid to save money on electricity delivery and foster economic growth.
Medical marijuana debated Defenders of the right to grow pot under a medical marijuana licence scored a small victory when they derailed a resolution that sought to require distribution be only through licensed commercial growers. Several Metro Vancouver cities want tighter rules to cut down on the number of grow-ops blamed for feeding organized crime and causing safety risks. Donna Shugar, a Sunshine Coast Regional District director, said forcing users to buy through producers might leave the poor and disabled unable to affordably get medical marijuana if they can no longer grow their own. She said concerns about safety could instead be dealt with by reducing the number of plants a licensed user can grow. A Metchosin rep called marijuana part of the fabric of B.C.
society and said the government should “stop pussyfooting around the issue” and simply decriminalize pot. Others said the resolution was redundant because Ottawa has already indicated its planned overhaul of the licensing system will phase out individual growing permits. It’s the third straight year UBCM delegates have blocked resolutions demanding tighter restrictions on medical pot.
Call for casino rules overhaul B.C. cities are demanding tougher scrutiny of gambling due to the infiltration of casinos by organized crime. Delegates at UBCM passed a resolution that argues the provincial Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General is in a conflict of interest because it oversees both the B.C. Lottery Corp., which runs casino gambling, and the Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch that regulates it. Separate ministries should oversee those functions, according to the resolution, which also calls for a review of public gambling to restore confidence and a probe by the Auditor General into how charities benefit. jnagel@blackpress.ca
