City enjoying fruits of long-term plans: MayorThird-straight all-BCA council sworn in Monday

Wanda [email protected]

Burnaby city hall will do what’s needed to exceed expectations and ensure it continues to be looked upon by other cities as “a model of how to do things right,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan.

His comments were in his speech at the inaugural council meeting held at Edmonds Community Centre Monday night. He was sworn in for his fifth-straight term as mayor as was the third-straight council comprised of all Burnaby Citizens Association members.

He said Burnaby’s stature in the region is due to the fact everyone has input in city plans, “and once we’ve made a plan, we respect it.”

Much of his speech outlined how those longterm city plans are now coming to fruition, decades after they were first created.

The Open Watercourse Policy was set in the 1970s to preserve a network of 79 streams in three major watersheds, “extremely unusual in an urban environment,” he said.

Kinder Morgan packs upMario [email protected]

The mood of anti-pipeline protesters on Burnaby Mountain over the weekend was as bright as the sunshine.

A series of rallies organized as part of the protesters’ defiance of Kinder Morgan’s surveying work turned into celebrations when work crews packed up their equipment

early Saturday morning. The pipeline company’s work

aimed to determine if its proposed expanded Trans Mountain pipeline could be routed underneath Burnaby Mountain.

The work had been expected to continue to Monday—the deadline for Kinder Morgan to file data from its geotechnical studies to the

National Energy Board (NEB) as part of its project application.

On Thursday, the company’s application to B.C. Supreme Court to extend the injunction that protected its crews from interference by protesters to

Dec. 12 was denied. The company had argued it needed more time to complete its surveying.

Judge Austin Cullen also threw out civil contempt charges for more than 120 protesters who had defied the original court injunction which came into effect Nov. 17 and expired on Monday.

Cullen said Kinder Morgan’s application for the original injunction included inaccurate GPS coordinates to define a no-go zone around its two worksites on Burnaby Mountain.

Buy Local Week asks for a shift in Christmas spending; A small change can mean 3,100 B.C. jobs: LOCO BCWanda [email protected]

When Ron and Roberta LaQuaglia opened up Glenburn Soda Fountain and Confectionery on Hastings Street, they believed support from the local community would be crucial to its success.

“So we feel like it’s even more important that we walk that talk as well,” said Roberta LaQuaglia.

Glenburn Soda is among several Burnaby businesses taking part in Buy Local Week, which runs Dec. 1 to 7.

It’s an annual campaign by LOCO BC to raise awareness that buying local not only keeps money in the community, it has huge economic spinoffs.

The non-profit alliance of local businesses is calling on all British Columbians to shift at least one per cent of their Christmas shopping to local businesses or to goods produced locally.

With the average Canadian spending $1,500 over the holiday season, that’s just $15 for every person in the province, said Amy Robinson, founder and co-executive director of LOCO BC.

That translates to 3,100 jobs in B.C. and $94 million in wages for B.C. workers.

The group defines local businesses as those that are more than 50 per cent owned by British Columbians and local products as those produced in the province.

“A lot of consumer shopping habits are based on convenience,” Robinson said, referring to the popularity of supermarkets and big box stores. “No matter where you shop, look for locally grown or made products.”

And while it’s not possible to find, say, locally-produced TVs, Robinson noted they can still be bought at competitive prices at B.C.-owned companies such as London Drugs.

Some businesses, like Urban Digs Farm in South Burnaby’s Big Bend area, are as local as they come. Its farm stand at 4992 Byrne Rd. is open Saturdays until Dec. 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and sells produce grown and meat raised on the farm itself.

Co-owner Julia Smith makes a point of using local suppliers and businesses such as Vancity. It keeps the money in B.C. and creates jobs in the local economy, Smith said, noting American-based companies would see profits flow back to the U.S.

As a farm, Smith said her products are fresher because

they don’t have to be shipped long distances. And supporting local farms is also the best way to protect the Agricultural Land Reserve from the threat of development.

Buying local is also about creating a community, said Lisa Beecroft, owner of Caffee Divano on Hastings Street.

“If you come to a local independent, it’s helping a family. When we shop, we shop locally too. It continues to filter back into the community.”

Knowing the owners of local businesses creates a more “authentic connection” which

“enriches the community so much more,” Beecroft said.

Independent businesses bring diversity to the community, she said, compared to chain stores and restaurants that tend to be exactly the same wherever in the world they’re located.

“If you no longer had a choice of independents, what a shame that would be.”

Back at Glenburn Soda, whenever possible, they buy local goods to produce their ice cream creations— from Birchwood Dairy in Abbotsford, Avalon Dairy in South Burnaby, and Krause Berry Farm in Langley, for example—and during its peak season they employ up to six people.

And while some might assume local businesses can be more expensive, it’s often a misperception, LaQuaglia said, noting that people can get “local” mixed up with “organic” or “specialty.”

Glenburn chooses not to use cheaper, more processed ingredients in an effort to lower prices and increase profits, she said. “I can’t stand behind that product, the same way that I can with my local stuff … It’s about comparing apples to apples.”

LaQuaglia noted Glenburn is also selling the experience of having ice cream at an old-fashioned soda fountain.

“It’s not simply ice cream in a cup you’re buying, it’s about the whole experience.”

NEWSLEADER FILERon LaQuaglia and his wife Roberta own Glenburn Soda Fountain and Confectionery, and are proud to not only be a local business, but also to be a business that buys local whenever possible.

A pitch to shift spending just one per cent

This year, after decades of not supporting spawning, Buckingham and Still creeks saw salmon return.

The city’s four town centres are also becoming complete communities, as first envisioned more than 20 years ago, focusing density to protect single-family

neighbourhoods and allowing the city to keep 25 per cent of its land base as parks and green space.

For 2014, building permit values are on track to match last year’s $675-million total, among the highest annual totals in Burnaby’s history, Corrigan said.

And since 1997, more than $154 million in community

benefits has been achieved thanks to funding from developers in exchange for being allowed to build increased density. Recently, $1 million of that funding was approved to support development of 122 units of affordable seniors rental housing by the George Derby Care Society.

That density bonus money

from future developments has also been earmarked for priority projects including a new Brentwood community centre, a performance/event centre in Metrotown, an arena in Edmonds, a new Cameron recreation centre, pool and library, and up to 12 childcare facilities at Burnaby school sites.

“We are a thriving community that is realizing the benefits of our long-range vision and collaborative planning. As a council, you have trusted us to work with you to lead Burnaby toward achievement of the goals that you have helped to set. I promise you–and all Burnaby citizens–that we will not let you down.”

SOME FACTS

The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating

between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC

since 1953.

In April 2012, we proposed to expand the

pipeline by building a second pipeline

alongside the original.

Our goal for the entire route has been to build

adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing

right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety

concerns, residential or industrial development that

has expanded since the original pipeline was built,

or environmental considerations.

We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups,

Landowners, communities and stakeholders

since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements

with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date.

The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study

the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain.

Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to

determine if the project should be approved to

proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the

federal government will make the fi nal decision.

The National Energy Board has a recognized

process to voice concerns, ask questions

and introduce evidence for consideration.

Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have

registered to participate.

If approved to proceed, construction of the

expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would

be in operation by late 2018.

Let’s talk.

Ian AndersonPresident, Kinder Morgan Canada

You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountain and our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.

I think it would be good for us to talk.

We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnaby the feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain, rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.

Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of that feasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million more than the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge the best interests of the residents of Burnaby.

We are drilling two 6-inch diameter test holes to investigate the possibility of routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. We are being respectful of the environment, and when we are done, we will leave the mountain as healthy as we found it.

Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their work and, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public, we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite.

Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadian right to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed these two principles can coexist if we all communicate.

We believe we have been good neighbours for over sixty years in local communities, including the City of Burnaby, and it is very important for us to continue open relationships.

We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousands of people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we have received to date has made our project better and has resulted in important changes to our route.

Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in our consultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.

Our work on Burnaby Mountain is part of keeping that commitment.

On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hope we can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us.

We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcoming telephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up. We welcome the opportunity to talk.

Luxury home would come with basement ice rinkRezoning applicant owns several properties in Government Road areaWanda [email protected]

A Burnaby property owner is seeking a rezoning application to build a new house that would be larger than what is currently allowed.

And what a house it would be.

The 2.3-acre (0.9 hectare) site would combine 7846 and 7870 Government Road, located across the street from Seaforth elementary and stretching south to Kentwood Street. The neighbourhood’s homes are mainly larger two-storey houses, some with outdoor recreation facilities such as swimming pools, said a city planning report.

In this case, the applicant proposes to consolidate the two lots and build a 28,855-square-foot house. It would be one storey high, with heights ranging from 12 to 27 feet, with an attached three-car garage.

Perhaps the most intriguing

feature would be located in the lower of the two cellar levels—a 7,740-square-foot ice rink (a little less than half the size of an NHL rink) with a lace-up area, storage, mechanical room and, of course, a Zamboni garage.

The outdoor patio area would be, at about 12,400 square feet, far larger than most people’s homes. It would include a swimming pool, tennis court and a 1,400-square-foot “accessory service building.”

The project’s architect, Michael Green, said in a letter to city planners that the house would have greater than required setbacks and a central courtyard would provide natural light and serve as a “comfortable buffer” between the house and the neighbourhood.

“The perceived scale of the proposed house is significantly reduced by burying a large

component of the house, the ice rink and related functions, underground to allow the house to maintain a scale consistent with the neighbourhood,” Green wrote.

Privacy is obviously a concern for the applicant. Preliminary plans indicate the intention is to “maintain significant areas of landscaping,” the city report said. Privacy walls are proposed for the east elevation “such that only the uppermost portion of the glazing faces onto neighbouring properties. This glazing is further screened by landscaping.”

Next door to the west, there are two large properties with adjoining rear yards, one with a single-family home on it and the other vacant.

There likely won’t be any complaints coming from there about the proposed mansion.

The applicant owns those too.

VICTORIA – It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory.

My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.

The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.

The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents

were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week.

In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get used to it.

The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there.

“We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell.

The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of victims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras running.

Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support.

Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception.

He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to

see the fruits of generations of labour.

Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.

In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government.

And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a.

“That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.”

Nisga’a prove their critics wrong

Oh, how times have changed.It was just over 60 years

ago that work on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline was nearing completion.

The project was far from controversial.

Farmers and property owners sat down with company officials and negotiated easements, talked about mitigation, and jousted over compensation.

By May 6, 1953 the excitement was almost palpable.

“Oil to flow by September,” read a front page story in a newspaper.

The project had an estimated price tag of $97 million and would bring local employment to about 150 men. It would initially deliver 150,000 barrels of crude a day to the tank farm under construction in Burnaby. With the completion of additional pumping stations, that flow would increase to 300,000 barrels a day.

For company vice-president H. H. Anderson, construction carried an almost mythical nuance.

“There are few industrial endeavors which have captured the public’s imagination like this pipeline project,” he said.

“It has the same audacious aspects as the building of a trans-Canada railroad.”

Fast forward to 2014 and that romanticism seems hard to find.

As protests become increasingly confrontational, most of the employment is going to security officials.

To be clear, construction hasn’t even started yet. What Trans Mountain was doing on Burnaby Mountain was seeing if its plan to drill through the mountain is more feasible than following its existing right-of-way through the city’s neighbourhoods.

But the battle lines are drawn. They demonstrate the gulf

between the world view of the 1950s and the attitudes felt by a growingly militant population today.

COMMENT

Re: It’s time to take a stand (Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 26)

Gavin Wishart sure hit the nail on the head when he pointed out, “business interests have hijacked those rights.” (meaning basic human rights)

In the very next letter, Dave Taylor wrote about “the 60 people who are out of work now at Horizons restaurant“ and, following that one, Ray Power sticks up for “those job-creating private enterprises that pay the taxes.”

As far as protests go, I was on strike and lost maybe a total of over two years’ pay while “protesting” to the company I worked for, namely B.C. Tel/Telus during those times, so the loss of a couple weeks’ pay for the restaurant workers, (assuming here that the drilling only lasts that amount of time, and not yet assuming that the pipeline’s actual work will ever take place at all) doesn’t—to me—mean very much at all.

And I suspect that they too, and the restaurant owners, should join that drilling protest group to protect “their” mountain before a tank farm enterprise that will get three times larger helps crowd them out of business in some way, some day!

I grew up roaming Burnaby Mountain, and am no fan of Mayor Derek Corrigan and company, but they’re doing what’s right on this one.

People even came from the Island to protest. Does Mr. Power think they have no right to do so as well?

Giving up one’s freedoms seems to be a given to some people these days.

MORE TO WORRY ABOUT THAN SHOPPINGRe: Editorial on Canadians shopping in the U.S. (NewsLeader, Nov. 26)

You seem worried about the Christmas shoppers spending a few dollars in the U.S.

I find that funny. Canada was once a free country but we have sold it all to foreign countries for a pittance, and outsourced most of our work. About 95 per cent of our products are purchased from China. We sold our oil and gas to foreign countries, and we want to build pipelines to give our resources away.

We gave away our container ports. Who owns our railroads? Who owns most of our real estate?

Canadians will sell out to anyone for a dollar! We have no pride. The list could go on forever—and you worry about spending a little shopping money in the U.S.

Floyd FriendBurnaby

NO BENEFIT TO CANADIANSRe: No-win situation (Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 26)

Ray Power tries to imply that this Kinder Morgan pipeline will somehow benefit Canadians. But the truth is that not one barrel of this additional bitumen crude is earmarked for local refineries, as the increase that Kinder Morgan, as well as Enbridge proposes is strictly for export to China and other Asian nations.

Even Premier Christy Clark has stated that B.C. will realize few benefits from

these pipelines, but we will receive all of the risks for any environmental disaster. Kinder Morgan estimated that in the worst-case scenario, a clean-up would cost no more than $300 million, but experts cite costs into the billions, and neither Kinder Morgan nor Enbridge has the money to clean up the environment when a major spill occurs. Taxpayers will be left to pay for Stephen Harper’s incompetence in pushing to allow this to happen.

Funny, I don’t remember anywhere in any Conservative campaign documents that they were lobbyists for the U.S.-based oil industry.

Make no mistake, it’s a question of when a spill will occur, not if it will occur.

Ask the people along the Kalamazoo River in Michigan if they, or the U.S. government are satisfied with the clean up by Enbridge. That company was ordered to come back and finish cleaning up the oil that sank into the sediment, which is the problem with the bitumen coming from Canada’s tar sands, as opposed to crude coming from drilled wells.

Kinder Morgan’s proposal to triple the size of the pipeline going to Westridge Terminal will require the number of tankers traveling along our dangerous and fragile coast to balloon, along with the chances of a disaster.

This image of a nesting Canada goose by Burnaby wildlife photographer Connor Stefanison is featured in this year’s fundraising calendar for the Wildlife Rescue Association.

The Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C.’s new fundraising calendar features an image donated by award-winning wildlife photographer Connor Stefanison of Burnaby.

Stefanison was awarded the BBC/Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year Eric Hosking Portfolio Award in 2013. He contributed a shot of a Canada goose at sunset.

“Connor visited the Wildlife Rescue Care Centre back in

April and he really captured the essence of the work that goes on here,” said Yolanda Brooks, Wildlife Rescue spokesperson. “Having seen the work we do first-hand, he was happy to donate one of his photographs free of charge. Connor travels far and wide and he has taken some magical photos. It was great to get his support.”

Other photographers whose works are featured in the 13-month calendar include

long-time volunteer and Burnaby resident Paul Steeves, staff member Linda Bakker and professional photographer and former Wildlife Rescue staff member Tracy Riddell.

The calendar includes the best images of animals in care over the last year, plus animals in local wildlife habitats.

The 2015 calendar is $12 and available from Wildlife Rescue’s office, 5216 Glencarin Dr., Burnaby. Info: 604-526-2747.

Statisticians used to be the oddballs of sports.While athletes and fans waxed poetically about

the beauty and brawn of their game between the white lines, on the court or ice, the number crunchers buried themselves in arcane statistics, looking for clues, analyzing performance, searching for trends.

Now the British Columbia Institute of Technology is helping students turn data into a science that can be applied to business and industry.

Last month, the school announced the launch of its new Centre of Excellence in Analytics.

The program goes beyond sports stats. It offers courses in applied analytics and business intelligence that will teach students how to transform vast amounts of data into information that can be used to inform business decisions.

“One of our primary goals is to bring together the analytics community for collaboration, innovation, and sharing of best practices to support and grow the sector here in B.C.,”

said Jenness Murray, the chair of the Centre of Excellence in Analytics. “We are the Silicon Valley of the North.”

Students will learn how to use analytic models to make decisions, discover trends, make predictions and forecast to avoid problems. Those skills can be applied to fields like business, law enforcement, energy or healthcare.

“Analytics is all about using information to forecast marketplace changes, mitigate risks and seize opportunities for growth,” said Murray.

The Centre is a collaboration between BCIT and software company SAP.

“The need for experts in analytics and cloud technologies in addition to programming skills will grow sizeably over the next three years,” said Kirsten Sutton, the managing director for SAP Labs Canada. “We believe these initiatives will help create a wider pool of technology-focused graduates for Canadian companies to draw upon.”

A 23-year-old Burnaby man has been charged in Vancouver’s first homicide of 2014.

The incident happened Feb. 9, just after 11 p.m., at Granville and West Georgia streets when a taxi driver got into an argument with two men, say Vancouver Police.

A passenger in the cab got out of the vehicle and joined in the dispute. It quickly escalated into a fight between the passenger and the two men and ended with the passenger being stabbed.

When police arrived, the victim was unconscious on

the sidewalk suffering from a life-threatening stab wound. He later died of his injuries in hospital.

Kenneth Bryson Williams, 23, of Burnaby has now been charged with second degree murder. He was scheduled to appear in court Nov. 28.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOPictured are Burnaby Firefighters Jeff Clark and Paul Rushton, Erik Vogal of the B.C.P.F.F.A. BurnFund, and Marnie Burnett, Eli Gershkovitch and Walter Cosman of Steamworks Brewing Company. As tribute to B.C. firefighters and to raise both awareness and funds, Burnaby craft brewery Steamworks Brewing Company brewed a robust and flavourful Heroica Red Ale for its 2014 fall release. In keeping with Steamworks’ whimsical brand designs, this particular label featured Burnaby Heights landmark Helen Arnold (AKA, the swinging girl) as a damsel in distress being rescued by a Steampunked firefighter. Throughout October, all Steamworks Heroica Red Ale 650mL bombers, Fall Mash-Up 12-pack mixers, and pints sold at liquor stores and restaurants throughout B.C. were partially donated to Burnaby Firefighters charities. A cheque for $10,156.50 was presented to the Burnaby Firefighters last month at the Steamworks Brewery & Taproom.

Fraser Health sends nurses back to seniors centresJeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health is reinstating nine flu vaccination clinics for seniors in various community centres after its decision to halt them this year triggered a backlash.

More than 40 community centres that hosted seniors flu shot clinics last year were told earlier this fall they would not be run again as people have increasingly gone to pharmacists and doctors’ offices instead in recent years.

Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review after the NDP made it an issue in the Legislature last month.

Fraser Health spokesperson

Tasleem Juma said public health nurses will run clinics after they were requested by the nine community centres.

There will be three in Burnaby (Bonsor, Edmonds and Cameron), three in White Rock/South Surrey (two at Centennial Park, one at First United Church), one at Guildford in Surrey, a friendship centre in Agassiz and a seniors centre in Mission. Times and other details are to be posted at http://www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu once they’re confirmed.

Some other community centres also organized on-site shots by pharmacists, but that option may have been seen by others as “playing favourites” with a particular business, Juma said.

She said the main concern was that pharmacies and other

locations weren’t as accessible for seniors as the community centres they routinely visit.

There have also been complaints of lack of privacy in supermarket pharmacies and administration charges by some pharmacies – which Juma said should not happen for seniors.

“If you are eligible for a free flu vaccine shot there should be no cost whatsoever,” she said, adding those incidents should be reported to the public health unit or the B.C. College of Pharmacists. “Seniors should not be paying any type of fee to get their flu shot.”

The shift in focus away from seniors centres was intended to let public health staff focus more on other groups, including people in homeless shelters and children under five, who cannot be vaccinated by a pharmacist.

Nine seniors flu clinics reinstated

Total donations were up over last year during Operation Red Nose’s opening weekend, which saw volunteers braving snowy streets Friday night.

Operation Red Nose is a volunteer-run safe-ride-home service provided during the four weekends before Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

It’s offered between 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. with volunteers driving

clients home in clients’ own vehicles.

The local operation serves Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities. Opening weekend saw at total $3,361 in donations ($637 in Burnaby and $469 in New West) from 102 rides given with the help of 66 volunteers. In 2013, the same weekend saw 50 rides given by 47 volunteers, with donations totalling $2,661

($661 from Burnaby and $358 in New West).

The rides are by donation with all proceeds benefiting KidSport. To book a ride: 778-866-6673. Volunteers are still needed. A criminal record check is required, so those interested are asked to apply as soon as possible. Info: OperationRedNoseTriCities.com

But the court proceedings and a week of daily protest marches up Centennial Way in wet, muddy conditions seemed a distant memory as hundreds of protesters and supporters from as far away as Venezuela, Ontario and Prince George joined hands, listened to speakers and music and revelled around a small stage perched on the slope near Horizons restaurant. The sky was blue, the sunshine warming, and tobogganers nearby squealed with delight in the season’s first snowfall.

“We won this skirmish,” said one protester to cheers from the crowd.

“We’re all in this together,” said Tara MacLean Grand, a performer who’s also a veteran of the anti-logging protests in Clayoquot Sound in 1993.

Sunday’s rally was billed as an “International Day of Action for Burnaby Mountain and All Land Defenders.”

Meantime, Saturday’s celebration was an amalgam of two rallies, one for mothers and their children and another for indigenous and people of

colour. Organizers said it was those groups who are most affected by environmental destruction.

The rally featured First Nations’ drummers and performers, some of whom had been a constant presence on the mountain in the weeks leading up to the arrival of Kinder Morgan’s survey crews.

First Nations had also been prominent in the last wave of arrests on Thursday, which included Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the B.C. Union of Indian Chiefs.

He was taken into custody by Burnaby RCMP when he ducked under the police tape surrounding Kinder Morgan’s borehole No. 1 in the woods on Burnaby Mountain’s western flank. Also arrested that day was Amy George, the daughter of the late Chief Dan George.

Trans Mountain said it pulled its survey crews off the mountain early because it was confident it had obtained sufficient data to meet the requirements of its filing to the NEB.

The company also said in a statement it would assess

damage to the park as a result of the protests and would work with the City of Burnaby to return the area to its prior condition.

As most of the protests coincided with a week of heavy rains, much of the hillside opposite the injunction area on Centennial Way as well as the trails accessing the company’s first borehole site in the woods had been turned into muddy bogs.

Protesters also tried to make amends, as they put out a call on social media to cap their celebrations at Horizons, which reopened Sunday after being closed since Nov. 20 when RCMP created the exclusion zone that cut off access up Centennial Way.

But they know their battle isn’t over. Saturday they were looking for volunteers to safely store tents and kitchen supplies that had been used in the protest encampment on Burnaby Mountain.

“We could load it and have it ready to go next time we need to deploy,” said a notice on their Facebook page.

You know Christmas is just around the corner when the outdoor temperature drops as it has recently, the shops are all

sparkly with decorations and you begin to see an abundance of toy and chocolate commercials on TV.

And… in between the shopping and the baking and the attending of various functions over the next few weeks, you might be looking for some fun family activities to put you in the Christmas spirit.

Look no further than the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts—as we gear up for our own festive season.

If you find yourself typically humming or singing along to your favourite

tunes perhaps Sharron and George’s Super Fun Christmas Sing-a-long is the perfect outing for you.

On Dec. 11 and 12 at 8 p.m., don your Christmas sweater, grab your tambourine, kazoo and some friends, and join Sharron Matthews and George Masswohl for this holiday sing-a-long featuring all the Christmas songs you love to sing!

On Saturday, Dec. 13, Seasonal Celebration returns from 3 to 8 p.m.

This free annual holiday festival will be done Italian-style this year, and is sure to delight with entertainment in the atrium, food demonstrations, and a market featuring vendors from the Italian Farmers Market along with lots of arts and holiday activities. Check out the special bottle kiln firing and other outdoor events planned for that evening.

While at Seasonal Celebration you won’t want to miss the presentation of Befana’s Star: A Traditional Italian Christmas Story.

Legend has it that on the Epiphany (January 6), a bright star appears in the eastern skies leading The Three Magi to Bethlehem to meet the Child King. Inspired by their quest, an eccentric old Italian woman decides to follow this star herself and bring some of her cakes and cookies as gifts to the child.

In the Italian tradition, the old Befana still delivers gifts to all the children around the world on the eve of the Epiphany.

Join Bella Luna’s ensemble in a colourful retelling of this story with people, puppets and Panettone.

Performances are Dec. 13 and 14 at 4 and 7 p.m.

For tickets to either production or additional information about Seasonal Celebration visit shadboltcentre.com.

Geraldine Parent is the arts services manager at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

TIPSto make the holiday season easier

CHRISTMAS TIDBITS to put you in the holiday spirit

HolidayJOY

NOVEMBER 2014SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT


Some tips to help make the holiday living easier

With so much on our plates between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the holiday season can be hectic.

Fortunately, there are many ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable.

• If you don’t have plastic clips to hang lights around windows and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work just as well. If you’re concerned about the color of the wooden clips, paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights.

• Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat.

• Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First wrap the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up precious space.

• Use empty squirt bottles to make baking and cooking easier. Pancake and cookie batters can be squirted from the containers for less mess.

• Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in a garage or stack them in a storage bin.

• Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters. They’re easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters.

• A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need from the spool and cut for easy decorating.

• Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree.

• Old maps make interesting gift wrap and are a nice change of pace from commercially produced paper or newsprint.

• Wrap duct tape or another type of sticky tape around your hand. Pat over fallen pine needles that accumulate around the tree. In hard-to-reach areas, wrap the tape around a broom or a floor sweeper.

• When traveling for the holidays, use a brightly colored suitcase or flashy tape to make your suitcase stand out from others at the airport.

• Place hardened brown sugar in a baking dish, cover it with a moist paper towel and either microwave it on high for 20-second intervals or place it in a 300 F oven for five minutes. This will soften the sugar, making it easier to use the sugar to prepare your favorite holiday cookie recipes.

• Save plastic bread ties, which can be used to make tags for the wires on certain

devices. Such ties also can be used to organize decorating components and to keep your place on a roll of tape.

• Measure the inside of your picture window and construct a wooden frame to its dimensions. Staple holiday lights to the frame and then easily slip the frame in and out of place each year.

• Hang a live wreath or some boughs of evergreen in your home to give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree.

• Color-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday decorations in the attic or basement.

• Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible clothing storage hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready.

A bath mat, facing down beneath your tree skirt, can make it easier to move your tree once it’s been completely decorated.

Xmas tidbits to put you in the holiday spiritThe holiday season has

arrived, and millions of people across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends. The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

• In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

• Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.” Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

• Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifically calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

• Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was

published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

• Santa has his own official postal code. It’s H0 H0 H0.

• The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyrics were

changed to fit Christmas.

• Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

• Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

• Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female.

• Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shepherds that helped find shelter for Mary to give birth kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the

Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.

• Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic language. It literally means “dung on

a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

• Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBurnaby Winter Club Bruins forward Deepkaran Hans unloads a pass before he’s checked by New Westminster Royals defender Liam Bates in the first period of their peewee hockey game, Saturday at the Burnaby Winter Club.

PASS IT ON

Rams too tough for KnightsThe St. Thomas More Knights were left out in

the cold in their bid for a spot in the B.C. AAA high school football championship game.

Victoria’s Mt. Douglas Rams, who have won the last three provincial titles, downed the Knights 23-13 in freezing temperatures and snow in a semifinal game at UBC Saturday evening.

Quarterback Terrell Jana scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter after teammate Demarius Henderson recovered a Ram fumble. Another fumble recovered by J.J. Deslauriers on a punt return led to Jana throwing a touchdown toss of 23 yards to Luca Bellini. Mt. Douglas knotted the game at 13-13 at halftime when they scored a touchdown off an interception of a Jana pass in the last minute of the first half.

But in the second half, the Rams took the lead on a six-yard run by fullback Pato Vega. With the Knights driving in the second half, Jana was intercepted again and the Rams ground the clock down. Their drive was highlighted by a 41-yard Vega run on third-and-24 with two minutes remaining.

Jana completed 11 of 27 passes for 154 yards and rushed for 109 yards. Shane Noel had 71 yards along the ground.

Mount Douglas will be seeking a four-peat when they play South Delta in the provincial final at BC Place on Saturday. The Sun Devils advanced by upsetting the top-ranked Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam 16-13.

No consensus as Metro board endorses upgrade visionJeff NagelBlack Press

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan warned Friday the expected transit tax referendum next spring is “doomed” and reiterated his opposition to the TransLink expansion plan supported by other Metro Vancouver mayors.

The issue came up at the Nov. 28 Metro Vancouver board meeting where directors discussed how the regional district should respond to the province’s call for input on a separate 10-year provincial transportation plan.

Metro mayors want Transportation Minister Todd Stone to adopt their $7.5-billion vision as the top transportation priorities for the region.

But Corrigan – who was the lone vote against the vision last June – said he still believes it is too aggressive and should be scaled down to a slimmer list of projects that has a better chance of winning public support.

“This plan is incredibly ambitious,” he told the board. “We need a more realistic plan, a more priorized plan.”

Corrigan suggested the vision is more of a “wish list” that risks allowing the province to instead pick and choose what projects will proceed, rather

than the region.Mayors are to meet in the

first two weeks of December to hammer out a final request to the province for new taxes – potentially a vehicle levy, regional sales tax or regional carbon tax.

Corrigan predicts failure of the referendum – a condition for any new taxes set by the premier – and won’t participate, calling the whole concept bad public policy.

“I can’t support involving ourselves in a process which I think is doomed and is going to be incredibly divisive,” he said. “We will just be spinning our wheels.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said most other mayors think the proposed transit improvements, including the Broadway subway and light rail in Surrey, are essential.

“The rest of us think this is the minimum we need to do to have a livable region,” said Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam.

The Metro board voted to send a letter to the province endorsing the mayors’ council vision for TransLink while

also arguing in favour of land-use planning to concentrate growth along transit corridors. Corrigan and two other directors were opposed.

Actions requested of the province include ensuring government offices are located in areas well served by transit and that Victoria support the planned Experience The Fraser Canyon to Coast trail network.

Moore said the regional district is also pressing the province to respond to its unanswered questions about plans to replace the Massey Tunnel with a bridge.

He said the province’s consultation paper on its new transportation plan, dubbed On The Move, made almost no mention of transit, while highways were mentioned 14 times.

“It seems to be a somewhat preordained plan,” he said.

The mayors’ council on transportation sent a separate letter to Stone.

Besides seeking support for the TransLink vision, the council also asked the province to endorse a move to road pricing over five to eight

years and to review the provincial tolling policy to enable the major tolling reforms that would be required.

It suggests a Mobility Pricing Independent Commission be created to oversee the initiative.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin told the board he would like to see the province support a rerouting of the BNSF rail line away from the White Rock-Crescent Beach waterfront.

He cited past landslides along the line and the threat that future ones could hit a train carrying dangerous chemicals.

“It’s a potential environmental disaster with loss of life that would make Lac Mégantic look like child’s play,” Baldwin said.

Rethink ‘doomed’ transit referendum: Corrigan
