Station Square Phase 2 work to employ 650 Double that of first phaseWanda [email protected]

More jobs were on the menu along with burgers for the construction workers celebrating the launch of Phase 2 of the Station Square redevelopment.

Anthem Properties Group and Beedie Development Group are turning what was once just a suburban mall into an urban neighbourhood highlighted by 1,800 homes in five condo towers in the Metrotown area.

As crews prepared to put the roof on the first tower along Kingsway, the companies announced the launch of Phase 2, the largest with two highrises being erected at once. It will also mean 650 direct construction jobs, double the workforce from the first phase.

“Every housing start creates five direct and indirect jobs so we’re looking at, for the duration of the project, employing 3,000 people,” said Ryan Beedie, president of Beedie Development.

Mayor Derek Corrigan was happy to tout the fact the project will employ hundreds in “good paying jobs” in the city.

Gunslinging grandmother world’s fastestMario [email protected]

Karen Robinson is the world’s fastest female gunslinger.

It took her 49 years to get there.Robinson, 69, won the women’s

World Six Gun Championships in August in Dayton, Oregon. She’s also tied for top place in the World Fast Draw Association’s Top Gun rankings for women in 2014.

The accolades are the pinnacle of Robinson’s passion for the sport

that spans her entire adult life. As well as her relationship with her husband, Dennis.

In fact, their first date was at a quick draw competition.

Robinson said she didn’t much care for guns when Dennis brought her to a quick draw meet in Washington state.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” she said.

But she loved the friendly people, many of them couples and entire

families, as well as the competitive atmosphere.

Three years later she was the first Canadian competitor to win the Canadian championship, held in 1968 on New Westminster’s Begbie Street during the city’s Wild Westminster Days

festival. She even beat the reigning world champion, who’d traveled from California to compete.

Back then women and men

competed together, said Robinson. But when the women started getting quicker than the men, they were given their own division.

Competitive quick draw shooters use a .357 Ruger bored out to .45 calibre. They shoot blank ammo at balloons and wax bullets at metal targets from various distances on the range.

Their speed to draw, cock and shoot the 1.5-pound gun is timed to the thousandth of a second, and they’re also scored on their accuracy hitting the targets.

At 69, she’s the quickest draw aroundMArIO bArteL/NeWSLeADer

Karen Robinson, 69, won her first women’s World Six Gun Championship in August after honing her sharp eye and quick reflexes for 49 years.

Karen robinson I put everybody out of my mind. I don’t see them or hear them. I just concen-trate on the target.

Station Square

“I certainly believe very strongly that these kinds of jobs are the kinds that are sustainable,” Corrigan said.

“We are going to continue to develop these town centres and there are going to be jobs here for many decades into the future.”

He noted that $429 million went into workers’ pockets in Burnaby in earned wages resulting from construction in 2012. That number rose to $645 million in 2013 and so far this year, already $350 million.

While job growth in Metro Vancouver is flat overall, that’s not so in Burnaby, according to Jeff Polkinghorne of global employment firm ManpowerGroup, in a press release.

“Burnaby has really taken off. It’s where all the job growth is.”

Corrigan said the construction jobs are thanks to transit-oriented developments like Station Square that are expected to continue in the future.

“We’re destined to accept another million people in this region over the next 25 years and we can’t do it in a way that is environmentally responsible unless we look for density in areas around our transportation hubs.”

Robinson’s draw—.467 of a second—wasn’t the fastest of the 70 competitors in Oregon. But she was the most accurate.

Robinson’s lightning reaction and precise eye have been honed by years of practice at shooting ranges in Burnaby, Port Moody and Langley.

Her coach, who also happens to be her husband, also makes Robinson stand in front of a full-length

mirror in their Burnaby home so she can study her technique and positioning.

“He has the patience of a saint,” said Robinson of Dennis’ guidance.

“He’s very supportive.”

The couple travels to competitions around North America, from Colorado to Arkansas, almost every month from March through to September.

Next July Robinson’s home club, the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club, which is based at the Langley

Rod and Gun Club, will host the World Fast Draw Index championships in Aldergrove.

Robinson said it can be a gruelling sport.

There’s a lot of pressure. Some competitors use gamesmanship to give themselves a mental edge

over their opponents or shake their confidence.

But she has to put that all out of her mind when she’s on the range, her hands poised at her side, waiting for the light that signals her to draw her gun and shoot.

“You can’t let other people bother you,” said Robinson.

“I put everybody out of my mind. I don’t see them or hear them. I just concentrate on the target.”

That focus will be

especially important when Robinson begins defending her title next March.

“I’m feeling a bit of pressure,” she said.

But for now Robinson’s enjoying her reign as a gunslinging grandmother.

“I’m still on a high,” said Robinson. “I still light up like a Christmas tree when I think about it.”

Burnaby Heights will hold its first cultural crawl on Saturday.

But gallery goers won’t have to worry about wearing out their shoes.

That’s because the work of 16 artists will all be presented in one place, a private residence at 3888 Yale St.

Living Room Art in the Heights will also use the house’s kitchen, dining room, den and possibly even the laundry room, said organizer Yunuen Perez Vertti.

She got the idea to present the work of local artists in an alternative space from similar exhibitions in American cities like Los Angeles and Houston. The event is funded by a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation.

Perez Vertti said presenting art in a house makes it less intimidating than asking people to come to a gallery or museum. That opens the art to a different audience.

It also inspires the artists.Perez Vertti said she was

astonished at the number of artists in the Heights who emerged from the anonymity of their own studio spaces in their garages, basements and kitchens when she put the call out for the living room exhibition.

All but two of the participating artists live in the Heights, while the others work there or have a child attending school there.

“People are so excited to learn there are so many artists here,” said Perez Vertti, a filmmaker.

The program will include photography, visual and

textile art, music and dance performances, film and storytelling.

Beatrix Schalk, a 3-D artist, said the opportunity to exhibit at the living room show fired her creative energy after she’d put it on hold for years to raise a family.

“I like the grassroots level of it,” said Schalk.

“It creates new possibilities to be creative.”

Photographer Courtney Taylor, who specializes in kid and family portraiture, said the show inspired her to explore a new, darker direction for her work.

But in the end, the home environment seems more conducive to what she does

best, candid shots of kids at play that capture their exuberance and innocence.

“It gives you the opportunity to explore, find your true passion,” said Taylor.

Which is exactly the kind of experience Perez Vertti was hoping the project would create for the artists.

“Anything goes,” said Perez Vertti, who’s hoping

the exhibition will be the first of many more artistic events in the community.

“I want people to think it was cool and unexpected, and to have a good time,” she said.

• Living Room Art in the Heights will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, 5-9 p.m. at 3888 Yale St. There is no charge for admission.

MarIO barteL/neWsLeaderYunuen Perez Vertti visits the Burnaby Heights home where 16 artists including Courtney Taylor and Beatrix Schalk will display their work at Living Room Art, a one-day exhibition of work by local artists in a private home.

A highrise development is being proposed for an industrial part of the Brentwood area that is gradually being converted to a residential neighbourhood.

Polygon Development has applied for a rezoning of 2338 and 2440 Madison Ave., located on the east side of Madison between Dawson Street and the BNSF Rail line.

It wants to build a tower with a podium level of apartment and townhouse units. Parking

is expected to be above ground, camouflaged by housing units in front, due to high groundwater and geotechnical conditions on the site, which is near Still Creek.

The lot at 2338 Madison is currently vacant and 2440 Madison is partly occupied by a BC Hydro transmission line connecting to the Horne Payne Substation. It’s surrounded by older industrial buildings to the north and east, newer highrise

residential towers to the west and the rail line, future Burnaby Auto Mall and the Willingdon Business Park to the south.

The 1996 Brentwood Town Centre Development plan designates the properties as “succession,” meaning industrial land proposed for eventual transition to multiple-family residential.

The developer was encouraged by city hall to acquire part of the Hydro

property to the south to be included in the project. The rest of BC Hydro’s property could be acquired in future for consolidation with 2300 Madison Ave., the report said. That would allow for the extension of the trail network and stormwater management project that was done as part of the developments to the west.

The developer will also be required to design and pay for a pedestrian and cycling overpass over the BNSF Rail line to connect Madison to an existing public trail to the south.

And because of the site’s proximity to the rail line, “a noise study is required to ensure compliance with the council adopted sound criteria.”

A developer, a health insurance provider, gaming company, engineering and planning consultant and a security company are all vying to be named Burnaby’s Business of the Year at the Board of Trade’s 15th annual Business Excellence Awards.

Beedie Development Group, Pacific Blue Cross, Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, Stantec and Paladin Security are among 32 businesses announced as finalists in one or more of nine categories.

The finalists were announced at the annual Burnaby Business Hall of Fame luncheon where Hart House restaurant was honoured as this year’s inductee.

Winners will be presented at the awards gala to be held Nov. 6 at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

Burnaby gave the world one of its finest female soccer players in Christine Sinclair.

Now the city is the first municipality in Canada to proclaim 2015 the “Year of Women in Sport” in honour of the upcoming Women’s World Cup of Soccer.

Mayor Derek Corrigan read the proclamation at Monday’s council meeting. And he made particular mention of Sinclair’s role as a leader in her sport.

“Our city is very proud of the achievements of its amateur and professional Burnaby athletes,” said Corrigan. “I am particularly proud… as we honour the many great female athletes who have lived, trained and played in Burnaby and those who will follow their inspiring lead.”

Corrigan noted Canada’s national women’s soccer team is based at the Fortius Centre near Burnaby Lake. In 2002 the city also hosted a number of

matches in the U-19 Women’s World Championship when Canada finished second to the United States. Sinclair was the top goal scorer in that tournament.

Linda Diano, the founder of The Power in Sport, a group that supports sport as a means to inspire people and communities, was at the council chambers to accept the proclamation.

“The leadership of government in raising awareness bodes well for future declarations across Canada,” said Diano, a former soccer player herself.

Burnaby’s declaration was praised by visitors to The Power in Sport website.

“Any time women and sport can be recognized brings the level of confidence for every girl wanting to take part in sport up another notch,” said Trish Fougner of Victoria.

“It acknowledges women as powerful and vital and a contribution to sport and beyond,” said Gillian Maxwell of Vancouver.

“It is an excellent opportunity to raise the level of awareness around many aspects of empowerment, inclusivity and teamwork for not only women of all ages but for men,” said Joanne Mulhall of North Vancouver.

Diano said she’s hopeful other government bodies, individuals, organizations and corporations will follow Burnaby’s lead. The organization is also planning a series of games that last 20 minutes and 15 seconds around the country next year.

Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair is one of the top women’s soccer players in the world.

Burnaby recognizes Women in Sport

The Burnaby First Coalition is fielding a full slate of candidates in next month’s civic election.

As announced earlier, businessman Daren Hancott, who previously vied for a federal Conservative nomination, is the new party’s candidate for mayor.

The party’s candidates for council are: Hancott’s wife, Linda; former Burnaby Parents’ Voice school board candidates Helen Ward and Charter Lau; former independent candidate Nick Kvenich; former Team Burnaby candidate Ray Power; accountant Matthew Hartney; auto repair shop operator Jason Chan; and homebuilder Shakila Jeyachandran.

Burnaby First’s school board candidates are: retired Vancouver teacher and administrator Ben Seebaran; Burnaby school district employee Janice Beecroft; retired Burnaby teacher and administrator and former Team Burnaby candidate Franca Zumpano; Heather Leung, a former Burnaby Parents’ Voice supporter; and business owners Keith Tong and Maria Parente.

The new party, a coalition of candidates from different political backgrounds, will try to poke holes into the Burnaby Citizens’ Association’s (BCA) two-time sweep of all seats on council and school board.

Along with four-term Mayor Derek Corrigan, all

but one council incumbent is running for re-election: Colleen Jordan, Pietro Calendino, Paul McDonell, Nick Volkow, Dan Johnston, Sav Dhaliwal and Anne Kang. Coun. Richard Chang will not seek re-election. In his place on the council slate will be current BCA school trustee James Wang.

For school board, BCA incumbents seeking re-election are Baljinder Narang, Ron Burton, Harman Pandher, Gary Wong, Larry Hayes and Meiling Chia. Taking Wang’s place is Burnaby parks commissioner Katrina Chen.

The final list of candidates nominated by the city’s deadline was not available by the NewsLeader’s press time.

VICTORIA – Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims

around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years

for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.

Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government.

Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

Time for truth in B.C. treaty talks

The candidates in November’s municipal elections have filed their nomination paperwork.

The races for the mayor’s job, seats on city council and the school board are officially on. Although some candidates have already been campaigning for weeks, if not months as they gauged the public mood for change, sought indications of support before jumping into the fray.

The coming weeks will be punctuated by knocks on your door from candidates seeking your vote, flyers stuffing your mailbox, signs on lawns, all-candidates meetings in school gyms and community centres.

But how many voters will be paying attention?

How many voters will actually exercise their franchise on Nov. 15?

In 2011, only 23.29 per cent of registered voters in Burnaby cast ballots. That was down slightly from the previous municipal election, in 2008.

In New Westminster less than a quarter of registered voters went to the polls to elect their last city government.

Weeding through the myriad of candidates vying for positions at City Hall and the school board can be daunting. Knowing who stands for what, and what they plan to accomplish can challenge even the best-designed flowchart.

But it’s the candidates who emerge victorious on Nov. 15 who will have the most direct impact on our daily lives.

They’ll determine how much we pay in property taxes, how much we’ll pay to park on city streets, when our garbage will be collected, what new developments will be approved.

They’ll make the call on school policies and facilities.

So it’s in every voter’s interest to pay attention for the next four weeks.

And set aside a few minutes on Nov. 15 to make their marks on a ballot.

COMMENTI am writing on behalf of

the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness to identify an important issue in the upcoming municipal election.

Homelessness is becoming an increasing concern for Burnaby citizens. Poverty is the leading cause of homelessness affecting seniors, men, women, youth and children.

The 2011 City of Burnaby Social Sustainability Report states that poverty is a serious issue confronting almost 20 per cent of Burnaby households with incomes below $20,000 in 2005. Rising costs of rent, the significant reduction of affordable rental stock and the .02 per cent rental market vacancy create many barriers to finding safe and affordable housing in Burnaby.

Many homeless Burnaby people are the working poor striving to lead productive lives without adequate income.

Many are forced to move elsewhere to obtain housing.

Senior levels of government have the mandated

responsibility for housing.The municipal government

has an important role in approving suitable property and working with the senior levels of government to secure housing for vulnerable citizens.

There are many innovative models of housing: scattered sites, containers, coop housing to assist people who are homeless.

In Burnaby we have the expertise and commitment to work together to create affordable housing for vulnerable Burnaby citizens.

Lives depend on it.Wanda Mulholland

Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness

Government should do more

A Speech from the Throne is a long-standing parliamentary tradition whereby the government of the day lays out an agenda for the legislative session at hand.

In B.C., however, this time-honoured practice has become

a rather empty and meaningless affair.

There was only one legislative matter identified by the recent throne speech for this session: the development of a LNG industry. Indeed, most of the 18-minute speech was given over to matters related to this industry.

Very little was said about people.

By comparison, the Ontario Liberal government reconvened that province’s legislature this past July with a throne speech that dealt with a wide range of issues: public consultation, healthcare, pensions, education, transit and transportation, climate change, taxation, poverty reduction and so on.

It acknowledged the need to grow the economy, but emphasized the imperative of creating a more equitable Ontario society,

Why can’t we have a Throne Speech like that? Hell, why can’t we have a government like that?

New sign to be included in statue project: cityWanda [email protected]

Does Central Park need more signage telling people what it is?

One Burnaby resident thinks so.

Joyce Anderson recently wrote to Burnaby council expressing that concern in light of the statue of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen being planned for the park.

It will be located at the main entrance for pedestrians and cyclists entering Central Park from Metrotown, on the west side of Patterson Avenue serving as the terminus to the planned Beresford Art Walk.

“My concern is that there is and never has been a sign to identify this park as Central Park,” Anderson wrote.

“If I did not know better, I would think I was entering Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park as the only identification will be the statue.

“If you think this is just a frivolous concern, please be aware that as a frequent user of the park, I have often been stopped and asked the name of the beautiful park by people near the Patterson SkyTrain Station.”

Burnaby parks director Dave Ellenwood said there are several signs that mark amenities in the park, such as the pitch-and-putt course and trails.

“A new ‘welcome to Central Park’ sign will be added as part of the Sun Yat-Sen installation to avoid any confusion, and we informed the resident,” Ellenwood said.

“I think Central Park is like Stanley Park in that they are large parks with many components, features and entries. Most people tend to already be familiar with the park or have made it their destination for the day, so more signage could be annoying to many people.”

Ellenwood also suggested too many signs can create their own challenges.

“There are a lot of signs [at Central Park], which leads to ‘sign blindness’–where there are so many that people just subconsciously ignore them–and vandalism (and associated maintenance costs).”

As for the planned bronze statue of the Chinese revolutionary, it is being donated and other costs reimbursed by the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Foundation for Peace and Education.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is considered the founding father of the Republic of China. His birthplace of Zhongshan City, China is a sister city to Burnaby.

Central Park signage lacking: resident

Caroline Kiddie is heading off to the ‘Olympics of Dance’ — one of only about 40 dancers from across Canada to compete in the international competition in Poland.

Team Canada fundraising gala Nov. 29 at Massey Theatre

Burnaby teen Caroline Kiddie will represent Canada at the International Dance Organization World Championships in Poland from Dec. 7 to 14.

Kiddie won a spot on Team Canada West for the second consecutive year after an extensive audition process. She’ll be performing in ballet and modern dance categories in the competition, along with about 40 of Canada’s best dancers.

The event is the “Olympics of dance” where the best dancers from more than 90 countries compete for a spot on the podium.

Kiddie is a Grade 10 French immersion student at Moscrop secondary.

She attends dance classes in ballet, contemporary, lyrical and jazz and the half-day pre-professional training program at Douglas Ballet Academy in Burnaby.

Her goal is to one day become a professional dancer.

As dance is not recognized as a sport in Canada and does not receive government funding or sponsorship, Team Canada dancers must each raise about $3,600 for the trip and their costumes.

Kiddie’s fundraising efforts have included selling Team Canada pins, planning a dance-a-thon, applying for arts scholarships and seeking

sponsorships from local businesses.

Team Canada will also hold a fundraising gala on Saturday, Nov. 29, 7 p.m. at Massey Theatre in New Westminster where the dancers will perform their competition pieces and silent and live auctions will be held.

Tickets are $21.95 and available at http://bit.ly/ZuixIH

or 604-521-5050.Anyone interested in

sponsoring Kiddie or other Team Canada members can contact Susan Kiddie at [email protected], head choreographer Danielle Gardner at [email protected], or national director Bonnie Dyer at [email protected] or 1-705-689-1844.

New disposal bans coming despite waste flow uncertainty

Metro Vancouver’s recycling rate climbed to 60 per cent in 2013, up from 58 per cent a year earlier, but it remains well short of a 70 per cent target the regional district is committed to reaching next year.

The improvement last year came almost entirely from a four per cent increase in the single family residential recycling rate, which Metro officials attribute to the move to mandatory organic food waste pickup for those homes and a decrease in the frequency of garbage pickup to just biweekly in Surrey and Vancouver.

“We’ve achieved a lot but there’s still a long way to go,”

Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said.

Improved recycling of at least 70 per cent is a key assumption Metro has made in estimating it must build a new waste-to-energy plant capable of handling 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage that the region would no longer truck to the Cache Creek landfill.

A higher aspirational target of 80 per cent diversion by 2020 would reduce but not eliminate the need for a potential second incinerator.

Recycling diversion rates for multi-family residential and industrial/commercial were virtually unchanged, at 28 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively.

Officials hope those categories improve next year.

A broadened ban on the dumping of organics – which make up a big slice of the waste stream – takes effect Jan. 1, extending mandatory food waste pickup to major business generators such as restaurants, grocers and other food handlers.

A ban on the disposal of clean wood is also going ahead, which would target the demolition and construction sector, where there’s already a high recycling rate of 76 per cent. Henderson said there may also be modest gains as a result of some additional types of containers now being collected curbside by Multi Material BC, which launched in the spring.

As with other disposal bans imposed by Metro, the new ones will be policed by inspectors at transfer stations.

Metro recycling hits 60%

Two years ago, legal protections for local lakes and waterways were stripped away by the federal government.

Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart wants them back.

On Tuesday, the New Democrat introduced a bill in Parliament to do just that.

The Protecting Burnaby Lakes and Rivers Act would return Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake and the Brunette River to the list of protected waterways in Canada.

In 2012, the Conservative government’s omnibus budget bill, which included many items that were not specifically budget-related, changed the country’s environmental laws, according to a press release from Stewart’s office.

Included in the sweeping

changes was removal of decades-old protections for all waterways in the Navigable Waters Protection Act with the exception of 97 lakes and 62 rivers.

Stewart aims to reverse that move for the three Burnaby locations.

“At the demand of oil and gas lobbyists, the Conservatives recently removed protections for 98 per cent of Canada’s water bodies so that proposed development projects–including some pipelines–would no longer need environmental assessments or public consultation before proceeding across our lakes and rivers,” Stewart said in his speech to the House of Commons. “We need to reverse this reckless gutting of our environmental laws, and that’s

why I am putting forward legislation today to re-protect Burnaby’s waterways for my constituents.”

Work by streamkeepers on the Brunette River “has been a stellar example of our community coming together to preserve our cherished waterways,” said Stewart. “We need to make sure that our

lakes and rivers are protected so future generations can enjoy them as well.”

Stewart said due to the Conservatives’ majority in government, it is unlikely to proceed to a vote in the House of Commons.

It’s a “symbolic gesture” and a bill he hopes to re-introduce in Parliament after the next election, expected in October 2015.

The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices.

But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists.

“You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,” said Jason Parent, the Ontario-based vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates.

He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of Friday – down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42 – should continue to drop to $1.25 or lower.

Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail gas has been barely eight per cent.

“We’ve seen some of that passed on at the pump but not quite all of it yet,” Parent said.

Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driving season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers.

“If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices – as we have – you will see that passed on for the most part, eventually.”

TransLink’s diesel bus fuel

costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices.

Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term.

But cheaper gas can also cut into transit ridership if more passengers take their cars instead.

And Ziola cautioned trends of better fuel efficiency, slower growth in vehicle ownership and people driving less are forecast to continue to push down TransLink’s fuel tax revenue over the longer term.

Three Burnaby preschool teachers were recently honoured by Prime Minister Stephen Harper for their work.

Cristina Primerano, Julie Kamiya and Marina Giovinazzo, all from Brentwood Preschool in Burnaby, received the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Early Childhood Education.

They each received the national-level honour, the certificate of excellence, which comes with $5,000 to be shared equally with the preschool.

The awards recognize “outstanding and innovative early childhood educators who excel at fostering the early development and socialization

of the children in their care.” The trio’s “natural sense of

wonder and genuine curiosity about the world around them is shared with their community of 72 young learners,” said the citation for the award.

The online citation included the words of one parent from the preschool: “They are so skillful and sensitive, much like gardeners tending to individual plants in their garden. They provide what the children need to grow; but like experienced gardeners would, they allow the children to develop at their own pace.”

Meanwhile, Burnaby South secondary math teacher Amos Lee is among 35 educators

across Canada honoured with a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence.

Lee won a regional-level award, the certificate of achievement, which comes with a $1,000 cash prize.

The citation for the award notes that Lee’s “goal is to make math a fun learning experience instead of a burden.

He counters the question of ‘When are we ever going to use this?’ by showing the link between math and real world applications such as business and sales optimization and the use of infinite geometric series in cellphone chip development.”

A LITTLE pIck-ME-up

Metro Vancouver Transit Police are seeking the public’s help in solving a series of break-ins to SkyTrain ticket vending machines.

In August, there were five such incidents at SkyTrain stations—Metrotown (twice), Lake City Way, Patterson and 29th Avenue—with cash boxes removed in some cases.

Each time either two or three men were involved and all wore dark clothing, bandanas tied across their faces, and hats or hoods to conceal their identity. Crowbars and screwdrivers were used to break in to the machines.

A white Jeep Cherokee was used in one incident, and was later recovered as a stolen vehicle.

In the last incident, on Aug. 27, one of the culprits left his pants at the scene after he caught them on some wire as he fled.

There have been no further incidents since then.While the stations are alarmed and under

video surveillance, the suspects work quickly and have just managed to avoid capture on several occasions, Transit Police say.

A total of about $2,000 has been stolen and about $7,000 in damage done to the machines during the five incidents.

Transit Police are asking for help in identifying the suspects. “We believe that someone may have been bragging about this or telling the story about losing their pants,” they said in a release.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300, text 87 77 77 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers.

Defeat on Bylaw 280 may bring higher property taxesJeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver property taxes might have to go up if the province won’t approve the regional district’s controversial ban on trucking garbage to unauthorized landfills outside the region.

That scenario was raised at Metro’s waste committee Thursday

by directors who said it’s time to consider a backup plan if Victoria won’t endorse Bylaw 280, which was passed nearly a year ago but still awaits the environment minister’s okay.

The regulation would stop commercial waste haulers from trucking Metro-area garbage first to Abbotsford and then sending it to U.S. landfills, skirting disposal bans here and avoiding Metro

tipping fees. Metro’s lost tipping fees are estimated at $11 million this year alone and officials predict haulers who avoid paying them will use their cost advantage to win more commercial hauling business, resulting in even more garbage flowing east in the years ahead.

North Vancouver District Coun. Roger Bassam said Metro might have to shift much of the cost of its waste management

system directly onto property taxes “so we can drive the tipping fees down to the point where there is no economic incentive to leave the region and win the battle that way.”

Solid waste manager Paul Henderson said the region is starting to look at its options if Bylaw 280 is rejected.

He said shifting away from the user-funded garbage disposal system would bring disadvantages.

Metro currently charges $108 per tonne to dispose of garbage but much less for recyclables, creating a powerful incentive to separate them.

That tipping fee will rise $1 next year but officials say they can go no further due to competition from out of region.

If tipping fees were slashed to compete with eastbound haulers, Henderson said, there would be less incentive to recycle.

He noted Ontario’s commercial waste haulers aren’t bound by the same rules as residents and as a result the commercial sector’s recycling rate there is 13 per cent, compared to 39 per cent in Metro.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said

defeat on Bylaw 280 would likely force Metro to revert to a landfilling strategy and abandon its plans to build a potential second incinerator to capture more energy from waste.

“There is a Plan B but it’s so unpleasant and it reverses everything we are doing,” he said. “We stop the aggressive recycling we do and we accept the alternative is landfilling.”

Corrigan said it would mean abandoning the user-pay principle in favour of taxpayers subsidizing the worst waste offenders who refuse to recycle.

“We will lose our reputation as a world leader in this area,” he predicted, adding numerous green

recycling businesses that have sprung up will fail if the recyclables they process end up in dumps instead.

Opponents of Bylaw 280 contend Metro’s motive is to keep garbage penned up inside the region to feed a new incinerator.

“We find it outrageous that Metro Vancouver wants to use the taxpayers as hostages basically and threaten the province that property taxes have to go up,” said Lori Bryan, executive director of the Waste Management Association of B.C. “They’re forcing the taxpayers and businesses to pay for their inefficiencies and to pay for the incinerator that nobody wants.”

1,300 electric vehicles now on road in B.C. Jeff NagelBlack Press

More drivers are plugging into B.C.’s public electric vehicle charging stations, according to new statistics.

BC Hydro subsidiary Powertech Labs says the usage of 350 charging stations it tracks has more than doubled in the last year.

It recorded 3,745 charging sessions in August, up from 1,684 in the same month a year earlier.

The data doesn’t cover all stations – another 200 locations aren’t tracked by Powertech.

“From the individual station data so far,

the busiest stations appear to be in high-traffic hubs, especially in urban and suburban malls and downtown shopping areas, including those in smaller towns,” said Jim Vanderwal, senior program manager at the Fraser Basin Council (FBC).

Vanderwal notes that there are many quieter stations on the network that only see one or two people plugging in each week, but that is to be expected at this early stage.

He said there are now 1,300 electric cars on the road since the first one arrived in B.C. two years ago.

“We expect all stations to see more use by business travellers, tourists and local residents over

next few years as the EV (electric vehicle) market expands.”

The Fraser Basin Council and Powertech Labs are participants in Plug in BC, a province-led initiative to lay the groundwork for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The province helped

public and private sector organizations buy and install EV charging stations across B.C. for public or fleet use in 2012 and 550 Level

2 charging stations have been operational since mid-2013.

While it’s difficult to predict the growth of electric vehicles in B.C., Vanderwal says B.C.’s position today is similar to Oregon’s in 2012, which has since seen a tripling of electric vehicles

on the road thanks to a combination of charger availability, vehicle incentives and consumer interest.

Vanderwal added the growing choice of places to charge up in B.C. is helping increase the comfort level of prospective buyers of electric vehicles.

This summer also saw electric car maker Tesla open its first supercharger station in B.C. at a shopping centre in Squamish.

Use of electric car charging stations doubles

The growing availability of charger stations is making the switch to electric vehicles easier for consumers, says Jim Vanderwal of the Fraser Basin Council.

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it

the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system.

Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a

first offence of distracted driving.

“I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” Anton said.

Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points.

Fines and points for two

distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least

$634. At nine points,

the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension.

Anton said there were 51,000

tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds.

“Ticket volumes show us that more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said.

Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009

to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment.

Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others.
