Woman warns of serial flasherRCMP investigatingWanda [email protected]
A New Westminster woman is raising the alarm about a serial flasher targeting women walking alone on the Central Valley Greenway near North Road.
Heather, who asked that her last name not be used, said she was walking on “Joe’s Trail” on the greenway on Aug. 2 at about 11:30 a.m. when she heard someone call out “hey, hey.”
When she looked, she saw a man standing naked and waving from a clearing on the cliff across the Brunette River, in the Cariboo Hill area. She rushed home and called Burnaby RCMP.
She heard someone call out in the same way again on Aug. 20 at 5:30 p.m. but didn’t look, believing it was the same guy.
Instead, she went to the Burnaby Cariboo RV Park nearby to warn them. The person at the front desk told her someone had reported a similar incident to police the previous evening.
While Heather’s avoided the trail because of her experience, the SkyTrain shutdown Sept. 5 led her to use it again.
Wants to ‘update’ the artworkWanda [email protected]
The South Burnaby Rona store is considering getting rid of the community mural on its building along Edmonds Street near Kingsway.
Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell is upset and doing what he can to save it.
McDonell said he heard the news from a community member. When he spoke to the store manager, he
was told the hardware store wants to repaint the building in company colours.
“He said, ‘I had somebody say why do we have a Christmas mural up during the summer?’” McDonell recalled.
The mural reflects a part of the Edmonds community’s history, which includes six years when it hosted a Santa Claus parade, he explained.
It cost about $8,400 funded with contributions from Burnaby city hall and community members, with
Rona only providing the wall space, McDonell noted. The project was one of several murals painted in the neighbourhood to help deter
graffiti.“That wall was always
being targeted for graffiti … It hasn’t been touched since we had the mural up.”
He predicted that if the mural is covered over in a solid colour, it will only serve as a nice fresh background
for graffiti vandals.Artist Todd Polich said the Rona
mural was one of his first and the
experience taught him the power of the medium to engage communities.
It was painted in 2009 and is largely a reproduction of images originally created by the late Vancouver artist Barb Wood for the City of Burnaby’s Christmas cards.
Polich recalled that while he was working on the project, McDonell encouraged him to reflect the diversity of the local community in the work.
As a result, he’d often incorporate people who would stop by and watch him paint.
Rona may scrap Edmonds Xmas muralWANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADER
Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell is concerned by news that Rona is considering painting over a community mural on its Edmonds Street store. The project was funded by the community as a way to deter rampant graffiti.

This time when she looked in response to the man’s calls, she was alarmed to see he was down closer to the river, and to her, than in past incidents. Sure, he was still across the Brunette, but at this time of year he could probably wade across, she said.
That time a man on the trail loaned her his cellphone so she could call Burnaby RCMP immediately.
“The man said, ‘I walk this path hundreds of times and I’ve never seen a flasher,’” Heather recalled. She believes that’s on purpose. “He will only wave and draw attention to himself when it’s a lone woman walking … It’s not randomly to the public, he’s just doing it to women.”
The incidents this summer are only the most recent ones Heather has experienced. She believes she first encountered the flasher in
August 2013 when the exact same scenario occurred.
After she reported it to Burnaby RCMP last year, she walked with an officer in the area where she had spotted the flasher. They found an old office chair in the woods near the cliff.
Heather believes the man is getting to that spot in the woods via Craig Avenue, Colby Street or Briar Road.
“Those neighbours up there,
that live up above the river there, that have access to these walking paths, they need to know this too because this guy’s in their backyard.”
The person obviously needs help, she added.
Burnaby RCMP confirmed by email that they are following up on the complaint and that New Westminster Police have also been advised.
“The file has been turned over
to our General Investigative section for further follow-up. It is early on in the investigation.”
The suspect is described as being a white male, 27 to 30 years old, five-foot-eight to five-foot-10 in height, with a medium build and dark curly hair.
Anyone who sees this man is asked to call 911 immediately or, if you can help identify him, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
‘They need to know... this guy’s in their backyard’
Council approves new traffic signal for Smith and KincaidWanda [email protected]
Burnaby council has approved a new traffic signal at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street in response to a community petition calling for one.
And it’s looking at other problematic four-way stops.
The Smith and Kincaid intersection is currently controlled by four-way stop signs and is fairly busy with Burnaby Hospital and Cascade Heights elementary nearby, said Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, chair of the city’s traffic safety committee, at the council meeting Monday.
The problem is drivers don’t always stop. “People just slow down and carry on through,” Dhaliwal said.
City staff recommended the full signal after observing the issue this summer. The signal will cost $230,000 which is “fairly expensive,” Dhaliwal said, but is in response to a safety concern.
It is expected to be added to the budget and installed sometime in 2015.
He noted that Marine Drive and Nelson Avenue is one intersection that will be reviewed in the next year.
City staff are not doing a city-wide study of four-way stops but rather is taking a
closer look at those that have been the subject of complaints, noted Doug Louie, Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering for transportation services.
“Four-way stops are quite often a
prelude to a potential signal,” Louie explained. It’s part of a progression—an intersection would start out as a two-way stop before increased traffic might cause a four-way stop to be installed.
“There’s a number of locations that we get requests for signals, and often many of those are four-way stops, they’re on the cusp of maybe being upgraded to a signal because of increasing traffic or what have you.”
Louie said Smith and Kincaid was “one of those ones that was due after many years of review.”
During the most recent study, “We observed some poor behaviour, not taking turns or obeying the stop signs as they should.”
The Smith-Kincaid petition was started by area resident Jim Favaro following an accident when a pedestrian was struck there in June.
Favaro said by email that the new signal can’t some soon enough.
“I witnessed at 6 p.m. on Monday night before the council meeting yet another driver going south on Smith Avenue totally disregard the four-way stop signs and he flew through the intersection at 50 kilometers per hour without touching the brakes,” he said. “It was lucky no one or vehicle was crossing the intersection when this happened.”
City studying problematic four-way stops
WANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADERBurnaby council says some problematic four-way stops are being studied for potential traffic signals, such as this one at Nelson Avenue and Marine Drive.

Seeks court injunctions to prevent pipeline studies work in conservation areaWanda [email protected]
The City of Burnaby is taking legal action against Kinder Morgan in its battle over Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
On Monday, the city filed a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court seeking interim and permanent injunctions to stop the company’s intrusive work in the city park.
Kinder Morgan Canada owns the Trans Mountain Pipeline which it has applied to the National Energy Board (NEB) to expand. It needs to do survey, drilling and other work to determine whether its preferred routing, tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain, is feasible.
An NEB ruling on Aug. 19 stated the company had the right under the NEB Act to access land, without the owner’s permission, to conduct such studies. Burnaby’s position is
the company can come in and survey but that the ruling does not override city bylaws such as those prohibiting cutting down trees in parks.
Last week, when Kinder Morgan crews prepared to cut down trees in the conservation area, city officials issued a stop work order. The company ignored the order and already 13 trees—six healthy alders between 14 and 24 metres (46 to 79 feet) tall and seven large wildlife habitat trees—have been cleared from an area the size of a football field, says Burnaby city hall.
The city has issued tickets against the company for its bylaw violations—tree cutting and disrupting traffic—and city staff have been keeping watch on the area ever since. As of Monday, company crews had not returned since leaving Sept. 3.
Kinder Morgan has applied to the NEB seeking an order forcing the city to allow access
and all the planned work to go ahead. The NEB says it will not have a decision before Sept. 15.
Meanwhile, Burnaby will go to court on Thursday, Sept. 11 seeking a temporary injunction to prevent further work that would damage the park until its full case can be heard by a judge, said a city press release.
In its main civil claim, Burnaby is asking the court to declare that the NEB’s Aug. 19 ruling does not override city bylaws. It also wants a declaration that the NEB does not have the constitutional jurisdiction to issue an order to the city that prevents it from enforcing its own bylaws.
The documents Burnaby filed in court illustrate the lengths both sides went to in their fight over access and trees in the conservation area last week.

I misread the headline attached to a news story through a Facebook link on my phone.
“School year delayed due to strikes” is what I thought it said, although the photo of what appeared to be rubble seemed incongruous.
Another story on the labour strife in British Columbia, I thought. And I did also wonder why there was a plural on the word “strike.”
Then I looked closer at my small screen and noticed the first word in the headline that I had missed.
“Gaza school year delayed due to strikes.”
Oh, right. Suddenly a little perspective washed over me.
It’s one thing to have your children’s school year delayed because the teachers’ union wants more money for wages and to reduce class sizes while the government says the cupboard is bare. It’s quite another thing altogether to have the school year delayed, as it is in the Gaza Strip, due to Hellfire missiles raining down from above.
If you simultaneously pay attention to local and
international news, and if you step back with a little perspective, the subjects can be jarringly different.
In Syria, journalists are being beheaded and ethnic minorities are being slaughtered by Islamic fundamentalists so extreme they make Al Qaeda look reasonable. Ebola is rocking West Africa. The Ukraine is a mess.
Watching the international news these days can be stressful and depressing.
And yet we have our own stresses right here at home.
A full 46 per cent of British Columbians are “very upset” when they see people smoking on a patio or near open windows, and 78 per cent are “somewhat upset” by this.
Cigarette butts on the ground? Fifty-four per cent of us find this very upsetting and 86 per cent are “somewhat upset.”
Worst of all is dog waste: 68 per cent of British Columbians are very upset when they see doggy doo-doo not picked up, and 94 per cent are somewhat upset.
The statistics come from an Insights West poll released last week. The survey of Albertans and British Columbians looked at 14 behaviours that “disappoint” us Westerners.
Dog crap seemed to top the list of the 14 things that disappoint those surveyed in the two provinces. Downloading copyrighted material for free was the least upsetting, with just nine per cent of BCers being very irked by this.
(I wish Insights had asked about off-leash dogs—my personal pet peeve.)
Tell a child, however, in Gaza whose apartment block has been destroyed by Israeli missiles that 90 per cent of folks in B.C. are somewhat upset when people park in handicapped spots without a decal and sympathy will be hard to find.
Try telling a Liberian quarantined with Ebola that two thirds of us are very upset
by seeing someone talking on a cellphone while driving.
This is not to say that we don’t have serious, real problems here in Canada: missing Aboriginal women, environmental degradation, child poverty, to name a few real issues of concern.
But recent immigrants from countries battling terrorism, disease and poverty must either gasp or laugh when they read some news stories in Canada.
Or, maybe, they realize as many of us do that we are extremely lucky to have such petty problems.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be angered over the current dispute keeping schools closed, or be annoyed when we see dog crap on the sidewalk and cigarette butts on a playground.
But if you ever find your nose out of joint over what, in the grand scheme, is a minor issue, it helps to get perspective, if only for the sake of your mental health.
Paul J. Henderson is a reporter with the Chilliwack Times.
World news a dose of perspective
Sunday, Sept. 14, is the 34th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run.
If you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian. But it is an incredible legacy.
It is highly unlikely that when Terry first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have.
An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp, of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name.
“You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family.
And so it began.Now, 34 years later, dozens of
countries participate in the annual Terry Fox Run.
The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name.
To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable.
The problem is the disease itself.
It is the most baffling disease known, because of its inconsistencies.
It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic.
It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer.
It can be deadly, but it can also be benign.
Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet.
Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.”

COMMENT
I was privileged to encounter some black bears (a mother and two cubs) in Mundy Park (in Coquitlam) recently.
They were minding their own business and were unconcerned with the people and dogs nearby. None of us people panicked or called for the bears to be shot or relocated.
It made me hopeful that Greater Vancouver can follow in the footsteps of other communities and learn to co-exist peacefully with these beautiful animals.
The main thing to remember is not to feed them, of course, which includes making sure that our garbage is not accessible to them.
If we can keep a respectful distance, perhaps they can adapt to civilization the same way coyotes and raccoons have, and we can enjoy seeing them as a part of our natural environment without fear and panic.

the party at faultIf anyone had any doubts
which party is blocking progress in the teachers’ labour dispute, that became glaringly clear yesterday.
Despite the fact that workers and employers universally dislike binding arbitration, the BCTF is willing to risk binding arbitration to settle the dispute, while the government stubbornly refuses to budge.
The BC Liberals’ stubborn refusal to budge on any monetary issues shows us where their priorities lay.
Despite the fact that B.C. teachers earn the lowest overall pay (according to the Vancouver Sun), and hundreds of millions of dollars were taken out of the education system by the Liberals in 2002, the government says there is no money.
This is simply not true. The BC Liberals simply have
other priorities and public education is not one of them. When the BC Liberals took power in 2001, they immediately gave a $1.8-billion tax break, most of which went to a few thousand taxpayers.
What about the decision to spend $500+ million on the new (and still not working properly)
roof for BC Place? Then there were the
corporate tax cuts, which have saved billions of dollars for corporations and have shown little in return for the residents of B.C.
There was also the millions spent by fighting the BCTF and health sectors in losing court cases that could have been put into the general revenues, as well as spin for the government’s position.
I could give dozens of more examples but the BC Liberal record on spending and tax breaks clearly demonstrates that public education in B.C. is not a priority.
There is clearly only one party blocking any resolution to the teachers’
labour dispute, and it is not the teachers.
Murray MartinBurnaby
Misplaced prioritiesI hope Christy Clark will stop
using the phrase “families first” for the remainder of her term in office.
The budget is number one on her agenda.
Families, including special needs students, the sick and otherwise challenged in our society are a distant second, or worse, on her list of priorities.
The question to ponder is “will we pay more in the future for those ignored or left behind today?”

Really? This is not the same city, the
same council, the same citizens that allowed the original pipeline. It is not the same company, product or purpose either.
By your reasoning, we should not be allowed to learn from the past but are forever doomed to repeat it.
We all know more about the impacts on the environment and human health then when the first pipeline was put through. We should be able to use that knowledge to make better decisions than we have in the past.
The purpose of the pipeline has also changed.
When it was first laid it was to provide fuel and jobs to the lower mainland with a locally operated facility owned by a Canadian company. Now it is to simply a conduit for a multinational to pass raw resources through us to be taken out of country for processing and use.

“I think it’s unfortunate that it has come to this,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in the release, “but we can’t let Kinder Morgan cut down trees and do irreparable damage in a conservation area protected by our City’s bylaws......”
He’s right... only city council is allowed to do irreparable damage...

Former B.C. government communications director Brian Bonney and a former B.C. Liberal Party employee have been charged under the Elections Act for providing undeclared help to the party in its unsuccessful by-election campaign in Port Moody-Coquitlam in 2012.
B.C.’s criminal justice branch confirmed Monday that the charges against Bonney, Mark Robertson and a company called Mainland Communications relate to assigning a staff member to work on the by-election campaign for Dennis Marsden, who was defeated by former Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini in the by-election.
Bonney is a Burnaby resident who previously served as campaign manager to former Burnaby-Lougheed Liberal MLA Harry Bloy.
As well as previously owning
and operating two telecom companies, Bonney has long been active in politics with the BC Liberals, and at the civic level, having run unsuccessfully for mayor in 2002 under the Team Burnaby banner and for council in 1993 with the Burnaby Voters Association.
Charges were approved by special prosecutor David Butcher, appointed in August 2013 to investigate the government’s multicultural outreach plan that resulted in Bonney and Premier Christy Clark’s deputy chief of staff
resigning when it was leaked to the opposition.
The charges are not connected to the outreach plan, which was revealed to have attempted to use government resources to bolster the party’s popularity with ethnic voters in the 2013 general election.
Butcher expects that investigation to continue
until early 2015.The three charges relate
to former government caucus employee Sepideh Sarrafpour being assigned to work on Marsden’s by-election campaign, without declaring the work as an election expense.
Sarrafpour’s role in the ethnic outreach plan was as a contractor to work on events such as a formal apology by the B.C. government for the head tax on Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century. A leaked memo detailed a plan to compile lists of ethnic community members from such events for use by the party in the 2013 election.
Charges laid against former B.C. Liberal staffers
Burnaby resident and former mayor candidate Brian Bonney faces several charges under the Election Act.

On Sept. 2 Burnaby city staff observed Kinder Morgan workers start to “damage parkland, clear bush and mark trees for cutting” near Centennial Way and at the Gnome’s Home trail near 7480 Barnet Rd., according to the application for an interim injunction.
When city staff tried to stop them, several private security guards hired by the company
repeatedly blocked their access to the worksite, it said.
When company workers tried to cut down a large tree, city staff “were successful in blocking access by placing themselves in front of the tree.” The attempted tree cutting only ended after RCMP arrived in response to a call by Burnaby city staff.
RCMP were called again the next day when the company’s workers tried again to cut the tree only to be met by city staff
who were already on site.Trans Mountain project
spokesperson Ali Hounsell said Tuesday the company planned to file its response in court the next day (Sept. 10).
The company believed it was within its rights given to it by the NEB Act to undertake the work, Hounsell said. But after leaving the site voluntarily Sept. 3, crews have stopped all work there while it seeks an order from the NEB.
“It’s disappointing to us that the city has chosen to pursue a second route when there’s a federal process already underway, rather than waiting for the federal process to unfold.”
The company had security guards on site to ensure the safety of workers and the public while it was removing trees, “but at no time was any interaction anything less than respectful and peaceful,” Hounsell said.
“It’s unfortunate … but those that have had an opportunity to see the stumps of the trees that were cut down know exactly why we’re walking in to defend this,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said at Monday’s council meeting.
“If one thinks this is simply the survey, imagine the consequences if this project is in fact approved. I think all of us are worried if we don’t stand our ground now there could be even more serious implications for the conservation area in the future.”

Polich recalled one person even giving him a picture of traditional Indian clothing to work from.
“I think it really represents the community and to take it away and to take it down would be a real tragedy,” said Polich.
He said he hasn’t heard from Rona about the plans which would normally be a courtesy given to an artist whose mural is about to be painted over.
“If you look beyond the fact that it’s a Santa Claus parade, which has traditionally been
a big event in Edmonds, I think it really represents the community,” Polich said. “It was one of my favourite murals to paint because of the amount of people that came through and the conversations I had with people that were new to the country.”
Both new and longtime residents were happy to see their cultures represented in the public art, he added.
“Rona is currently in discussion with the city to update the mural,” said Rona spokesperson Valérie Gonzalo by email from the company’s
headquarters in Boucherville, Que.
“As you may know, the current mural has a seasonal theme (Christmas oriented) and looks rather dated, being four years old. Rona wants to freshen-up that wall. The exact layout has not yet been decided.”
Rona does not own the building but rather leases it, Gonzalo confirmed. “Rona has no current plans to close that store and wishes to stay in the community.”

Studies found to contain faked dataWanda [email protected]
A doctor who had nine research studies retracted due to faked data is now working at Burnaby Hospital, according to a recent media report.
The Postmedia story stated the studies took place while Dr. Cory Toth worked at the University of Calgary medical school.
A former research director of the Calgary Chronic Pain Centre Clinic, he resigned earlier this year after a university investigation found
he had faked data in the nine studies published in medical journals.
Toth is currently working as a neurologist at Burnaby Hospital.
He did not respond to a NewsLeader request for an interview.
However, he told Postmedia in a statement that the data issues were due to spreading himself too thin and failing to supervise his laboratory staff properly.
In an emailed statement, Dr. Dave Williams, program medical director at Fraser Health Authority said, “Dr. Toth came highly recommended
to us for his clinical expertise; and has proven to be a valued member of our neurology team.”
Toth did mention the retractions which were taken into consideration before he was offered a probationary position, Williams said.
“As with all physician appointments, there is a more fulsome review process with our board before a permanent position is offered. This is the case with Dr. Toth.
“Dr. Toth does not participate in any research activities at Fraser Health.”

Something at IKEA is broken. And we’re not sure how they sleep at night.

Safety Tip:Focus on the road, not your phone. Taking your eyes off the road to check that text signifi cantly reduces your reaction time–and can have deadly consequences. In fact, distracted driving is now the
second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.
Question of the WeekDriveway introduces our new northern B.C. based writer Mike Zacharias today. He challenges the image of the truck being the northern choice by testing a Ford Fiesta. What would you like Mike to test in the Prince George area?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
City commuter handles the northern roadsSubcompact cars are set up to be basic transpor-tation with emphasis placed on low cost and great fuel economy. That said, you might think they are all a bit boring and not very fun to drive or even very interesting to look at. This is not the case on the 2014 Ford Fiesta: it has had a face-lift and features more standard options than in the last model year. Usually little sub-com-pacts like this come with more plastic than a TV sports reader. The Fiesta feels different. You do get some plastic to be sure but the dash has softer materials and some of the plastic around here actually looks and feels good. For the price ($19,990 as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a bit naughty, as if maybe you have stolen a more expensive car than you can actually afford. I would love to be able to afford an Aston Martin as my daily commuter car but at this point in my life that is not an option. With the redesign, you do get the Fusion / Aston front-end styling. Now some people might say, “Well it looks too much like an Aston.” Really? That’s like someone telling a girlfriend that she looks too much like Scarlett Johansson; you’re not really going to complain, are you?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it drives or feels like an Aston but it is great fun to drive, handles our roads very well and all the tech options needed to keep your eyes on the road are available. The SE model I drove came with Bluetooth, satellite radio, navigation, power locks, windows, and the My Ford Sync.I drove the Fiesta around Prince George and practicality wise it didn’t skip a beat. As I live downtown, anywhere I go in my daily life I am always driving right through the heart of the city. When I headed out
to the hockey rink, I was able to put all of my goalie equipment into the back, no problem. Parking in cities is increas-ingly becoming a premium. Parking a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a breeze even without a backup camera! As some people with larger vehicles will know, parking at places like malls in and around the city the spaces are tight with not a lot of movement space for bigger vehicles. In addition, of course, it does get worse in wintertime when the snow is piled high. With that in mind, how will it handle our winter roads?The Fiesta has good ground clearance for a smaller car and handling our
winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-com-pact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a
daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.View our Ford Fiesta video review online at DrivewayCanada.ca

They crash and smash many cars in Hollywood.A few months ago we
looked at five dramatic destructions here are some more to make you weep.
1964 Aston DB5 Martin (“Skyfall”): In the rebooted James Bond world of Daniel
Craig, Bond is seen to have won the DB5 in a card game in the movie Casino
Royale. The film’s villain, played by Javier Bardem, puts its nose-mounted
machine guns to good use in an attempt to repel an assault. Sadly, Bond’s Aston is strafed into Swiss cheese. Happily, the car was actually a prop made to look like a real DB5.
1985 Corvette (“The Big Lebowski”): A 14-year-old kid named Larry Sellers has likely stolen Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski’s (Jeff Bridges’) battered Ford Torino, possibly containing a large sum in ransom money. The Dude and his extremely anger management-challenged bowling buddy Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) head for little Larry’s house. On the way in, they’re dismayed to find a red 1985 Corvette parked in front of the house and they figure the kid has already started to blow the money. When standard interrogation techniques prove fruitless, Walter takes a crowbar to the Corvette’s glass. The Corvette turns out to be the neighbour’s car.
1941 Lincoln Continental (“The Godfather”): You could always count on the hot temper of Sonny Corleone. The Barzini Fam-ily certainly did. They also knew that when Carlo, the abusive lowlife husband of Sonny’s sister Connie, would hit her, Sonny would respond by unleashing the Hiroshima of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns. The result was not pretty for either Sonny or the Lincoln.
1979 Chevrolet Ca-maro Z/28 (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”): The Camaro was owned by intimidating high school football prospect Charles Jefferson (played by the great Forrest Whitaker in
one of his earliest roles). Jefferson’s little brother and surfer/stoner Jeff Spiccolli (Sean Penn) take the car cruising one night in the San Fernando Valley and wreck it. Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken. Rather, the damage is blamed on car thieves from a rival high school whom Ridgemont is playing in a big football game. An incensed rhino-like Jef-ferson is seen later deliver-ing paralytic revenge hits in the subsequent game.
1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE convertible (“The Hangover”): Future father -in-law entrusts his non-Car Guy future son-in-law with his treasured Mercedes con-vertible for a pre-wedding jaunt with friends. Granted, they were supposed to be heading to sedate Califor-nia wine country, but they go to Vegas instead. The extreme body dam-age that the handsome Benz suffers is predictable for anyone who has seen “Animal House.” The damage done to the interior by Mike Tyson’s pet tiger? That’s novel.

RD fears farmers may not gain from eased use of ALR landJeff NagelBlack Press
Lower Mainland politicians registered serious concerns about planned reforms to the Agricultural Land Reserve in a consultation session with B.C. government officials last month.
The province wants to loosen the restrictions on non-farm uses of ALR land to help improve the survival odds of struggling farmers and expects to introduce revised regulations by December.
It’s considering allowing breweries, distilleries and meaderies on farmland, retail sales of food and beverages, and other options to generate extra business revenue from farmland.
The Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley politicians’ concerns are not with the principle of expanded uses to support farmers’ economic viability, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee, but that there are “loopholes so big you can drive a truck through.”
Half the ALR land in Metro Vancouver is not currently used for farming and the regional district has actively campaigned for taxation reforms to discourage non-farm uses.
Metro’s submission to the agriculture ministry warns there’s no assurance farmers will benefit from the reforms, rather than non-farm business operators and land speculators.
The submission says existing
businesses may be unfairly penalized if looser rules on non-farm uses prompt their competitors to move from industrial or commercial zones where they pay relatively high business property taxes to ALR farmland with low agricultural tax rates.
“The decision would create a ‘slippery slope’ situation that could easily result in an escalation of agricultural land values to the extent that farmers would be unable to afford land in the ALR,” it says.
“I can see all sorts of businesses buying up farmland thinking ‘We can operate our body shop on farmland,’” Delta
Coun. Ian Paton said.Metro opposed most
of the proposed changes in its submission, urging the province to shelve them and first bolster enforcement of rules that ban illegal fill dumping on ALR land,
retail sale of products that come mostly from off the farm and to deter the building of giant country estate mansions on farmland.
Paton also questioned how any eased business restrictions can be enforced since the Agricultural Land Commission has just two bylaw enforcement officers to patrol the entire province.
Richmond Coun. Harold Steves noted wineries already set up on ALR land could conceivably add restaurants and banquet halls that could and should instead be built on commercial land within urban areas, where they’re better served by transit and utilities.
Non-farm uses have been
granted in the past but must under the current rules be approved by the ALC.
Steves noted the Ocean Spray berry processing plant in Richmond was approved and built under the existing regulations.
“There are ways of doing these things without opening it up wide open and turning it into a Wild West Show of building anything you want on farmland,” Steves said.
Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said Surrey is prepared to consider distilleries and breweries on farmland, but not allowing them tasting rooms or to sell alcohol produced off-premises.
Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who is a turkey farmer, said there’s justification for the government to proceed “cautiously” in encouraging industry on ALR land that directly supports and benefits agriculture, such as processing plants.
Improving farms’ ability to market their products helps ensure they’re not “held hostage by large corporations,” he said.
Some local farms have been innovative in setting up their own processing operations, he noted. “We have to allow some of this to happen on farmland,” Froese said. “We have to be open to some of this changing face of agriculture.”
Also proposed is allowing anerobic digesters in the ALR to generate energy from farm-sourced manure and other agriculture waste. Metro says those applications should remain a case-by-case decision of the ALC due to impacts on neighbours.
Farm business reforms panned by Metro reps
Black Press file Farmers struggling to remain viable may get more scope to supplement their income with other business on ALR land. But Metro politicians fear the proposed provincial reforms will backfire.

Kinder Morgan projects impact of rupture into FraserJeff NagelBlack Press
A summer oil spill into the Fraser River in Surrey from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline would mostly be swept quickly downstream and into the Strait of Georgia, with some oil reaching the Gulf Islands.
That projection, filed by the company as part of the risk assessment for its proposed $5.4-billion pipeline expansion, estimates cleanup could take up to five years.
The study assumed a full-bore pipeline breach just downstream of the Port Mann Bridge releasing 1.25 million litres (more than 10,000 barrels) of diluted bitumen.
“The process of restoration and recovery could take anywhere from 12 months to five years,” it said.
Oil carried downstream out of the Fraser delta “is likely to disperse to the north or south in the strait” and is “more likely” to reach Gulf Island shorelines on the opposite side of the Strait than to directly affect Sturgeon or Roberts banks.
Shoreline oiling is highly likely – 60 to 100 per cent
probability – between the Port Mann Bridge and Annacis Island, the study says, dropping to less than 10 per cent downstream of the Massey Tunnel.
The study assumes the spilled oil will float until it strands on shorelines.
“Oil that enters salt marsh or reed bed areas may become trapped there. Although the physical effects of this oil on the vegetation may be low to medium, oil spill recovery effects may be equally damaging to the vegetation, as well as affecting habitat utilization by wildlife species.”
Ducks and geese would be at high risk of being harmed or killed, the study said, adding raptors, wading birds, shorebirds and swallows would face “medium” effects.
Mammals most at risk would be aquatic species like muskrat, beaver, otter and mink.
“It is assumed that some of these animals could be sufficiently oiled to cause death.”
A spill in winter is more likely to be contained within the river and pose less risk to wildlife, as many species, such as fish, aren’t present or else are dormant.
Kinder Morgan officials have said the new pipeline could be built with more frequent
emergency shutoff valves or thicker steel near the Fraser River crossing, which would be horizontally drilled under the riverbed.
The study cautions that it didn’t look at spill probability or take into account the various Trans Mountain prevention commitments that could reduce the likelihood or the size of an oil escape.
Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the recent Mount Polley mine tailings disaster shows unexpected failures can happen.
“We have economic impacts, environmental impacts there that are going to take years to figure out and to heal,” she said. “It’s a societal question as to whether we’re willing to take the risk.”
Wilhelmson said the study demonstrates an oil spill could “devastate” habitat and wildlife in Georgia Strait as well as B.C.’s most important salmon river.
Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said Kinder Morgan should instead pipe the oil south from Abbotsford to Cherry Point, in Washington State, to avoid increased risk to the Fraser and conflicts such as its ongoing access dispute with the City of Burnaby.
Oil spill cleanup could take five years: study

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has increased its projected surplus for the year to $266 million, up $87 million from the July budget estimate.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong said taxation and natural resource revenue are running ahead of projections, based on results of the first quarter of the fiscal year. That was offset by unexpected costs for flood control this spring and a forest fire season expected to be one of the costliest on record at $350 million.
The budget surplus is enough to provide a pay increase and other improvements to striking teachers, but what the union is currently asking for amounts to $315 million more than the government is offering, this year and every subsequent year, the finance ministry calculates.
De Jong said giving in to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation demands, including their proposal for class size and
special needs support, would equate to an increase of $140 a year for the average personal income tax, or 4.8 cents per litre in gasoline tax.
Increasing the government’s offer or gambling on the results of binding arbitration would have a ripple effect on other public service unions, both those who settled for less and those who still have to reach agreements under
the government’s bargaining mandate, he said.
NDP critic Carole James said arbitration in the teacher case isn’t “opening the flood gates.
“In fact binding arbitration when the parties are close, will take a look at the pattern of settlements, will take a look at the money that’s on the table, will take a look at the two parties, and resolve this,” James said.
B.C. surplus won’t sweeten teacher offer
Tom FleTcher/Black PressFinance Minister Mike de Jong said he’s disappointed with the slow job growth in B.C.

The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants.
Description of the Project
The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal.
New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC.
The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website.
Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing
Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so.
The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate.
While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section.
The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca
under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion
This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.

By Kerry Vital
Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there.
“We build homes that we care about,” he says. “Th ese are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.”
Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, Th e Summit
Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a nature-lovers dream. Th om Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities.
“Th ese views are to-die-for,” Chester says.Th ere are controlled and registered
building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.
Th e 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre
site are available in a range of fl oorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfi nished basement.
Curb appeal is not in short supply at Th e Summit Residences, with their Craft sman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage.
“No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options. We’ve done some really interesting things.”
Inside, spacious open-concept fl oorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fi ll the space. Hardwood laminate fl ooring
throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fi replace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room.
Th e gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience.
Th e elegant ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and fl oating under-lit hardwood cabinet. Th e dual undermount sinks are convenient for couples, while the modern oversized tiles are cool and inviting.
Th e Summit Residences are just minutes away from the everyday necessities of life such as shopping, dining and education. A local coff ee shop, deli and food mart are just a few things that are just minutes away.
Homes at Th e Summit Residences start at $450,000. For more information, visit www.summitresidences.ca, call 604-824-6473 or stop by the sales centre at 47150 MacFarlane Place, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Th ursday and Friday.
Submitted photosThe Summit Residences by Domae Homes is perfectly situated in Chilliwack to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer, including tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. The spacious homes are available in a variety of open-plan layouts, allowing homeowners to personalize their home.

Before buying compare space & water heating costsWhen you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.
Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator.
*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.
