Cpl. Antonio Guerrero oversees a four- constable plainclothes unit charged with investigating the city’s missing persons files. The unit is a dual-duty unit that also handles domestic violence investigations, which has its own coordinator specific to those cases. The department combined the two types of investigations because of their high-risk nature but Guerrero expects that one day, the units will be separated. “Especially as this trend, this foresee- able trend, continues. As far as calls for service increasing, our future goal is to have two separate units,” he said. Guerrero said one of the reasons why the number of missing persons reported is on the rise could be because of two medical centres within Burnaby’s borders. According to Guerrero, 277 people were reported missing from Burnaby Hospital’s mental health unit and the Burnaby Centre for Mental Health and Addictions last year – nearly 29 per cent of all reported missing persons in Burnaby. “These are ones that are difficult to investigate despite the help of family and help from our other partners,” he said. “Those people tend to lead a certain lifestyle that’s high-risk and on top of that they left voluntarily and they don’t, in most cases, want to be found by the police. The majority of the time they do return, but at the same time we have to make sure we follow our protocol and go through the investigation as thoroughly as possible just to prevent … a negative outcome. We just want to make sure we treat everyone with the appro- priate resources and time.” The same can be said about youth running away from group homes, Guerrero added, but he was unable to provide the NOW with how many youth from group homes were reported missing. In fact, Guerrero couldn’t provide any specific data in regards to the demographics of missing persons files handled by the department because he doesn’t have access to the data – it is compiled by a civilian staff member separate from his unit. Guerrero added in an email to the NOW that due to a shortage in “civilian staff specializing in that field, a complete report would not be available at this point in time.” In Canada, demographics on miss- ing persons are tracked by the National Centre for Missing Persons. According to the centre, in 2013 there were 14,193 peo- ple reported missing in British Columbia – Burnaby’s 970 reports accounts for near- ly seven per cent of the provincial total. Of the 14,193 reports, 7,262 were adults and 6,931 were children. The data also shows that more than 50 per cent of all files are closed within 24 hours of the reports being made, while more than 85 per cent are closed within one week. Guerrero agreed most of the cases are solved quickly and his four constables typically only take over an investigation if the case is deemed high-risk. Children, seniors, physically disabled people, and mentally and medically ill people are all considered high-risk because of the specific needs they often have, Guerrero said. It’s up to the responding officer to review the case and decide whether or not it should be upgraded to high risk. “The uniform investigator … speaks to their supervisor and goes through those risk assessments. Would this constitute as a high-risk person, in our definition? When they’re identified as high-risk miss- ing, then these four investigators will get engaged and they’ll take over the file,” he said. In the initial steps of an investigation, the patrol officer dispatched to the call will interview family and friends of the missing person along with the person who made the report. Despite the rise in missing persons reported, the Burnaby RCMP does not share information on each individual case with media or the public unless the case is high-risk or if all avenues of investiga- tion have been exhausted. Once this point is reached, and only then, will Mounties put out a release through media, Guerrero said. “I prefer it this way because, obvious- ly, I’d like to see us do the background work first before reaching out,” he said. Further background work is the responsibility of the assigned officer. It’s up to them to determine any risk factors such as medical issues, suicidal tenden- cies or possible parental abduction, Guerrero said. “We’ll also ask about what kind of life- style they lead? Are they involved in the gang lifestyle? The drug trade? Do they have a history of going missing? That’s important,” he said. “And if so, how long have they gone missing before they come back?” If an individual is considered high-risk, Missing but not forgotten Name: Angela Arseneault Missing since: August 1994 Last seen: Aug. 19, 1994 Name: Bryan Braumberger Missing since: June 2007 Last seen: May 31, 2007 Name: Asim Chaudhry Missing since: July 2007 Last seen: July 20, 2007 Name: Guifeng Tong Missing since: January 2013 Last seen: Jan. 16, 2013 WHERE ARE THEY? ?

Nine hundred and seventy – that’show many people were reportedmissing in Burnaby last year and

according to the department’s new miss-ing persons unit coordinator, the numbersare on the rise.

Cpl. Antonio Guerrero oversees a four-constable plainclothes unit charged withinvestigating the city’s missing personsfiles. The unit is a dual-duty unit that alsohandles domestic violence investigations,which has its own coordinator specific tothose cases. The department combinedthe two types of investigations becauseof their high-risk nature but Guerreroexpects that one day, the units will beseparated.

“Especially as this trend, this foresee-able trend, continues. As far as calls forservice increasing, our future goal is tohave two separate units,” he said.

Guerrero said one of the reasons whythe number of missing persons reportedis on the rise could be because of twomedical centres within Burnaby’s borders.

According to Guerrero, 277 peoplewere reported missing from BurnabyHospital’s mental health unit and theBurnaby Centre for Mental Health andAddictions last year – nearly 29 percent of all reported missing persons inBurnaby.

“These are ones that are difficult toinvestigate despite the help of familyand help from our other partners,” hesaid. “Those people tend to lead a certain

lifestyle that’s high-risk and on top ofthat they left voluntarily and they don’t,in most cases, want to be found by thepolice. The majority of the time they doreturn, but at the same time we have tomake sure we follow our protocol and gothrough the investigation as thoroughlyas possible just to prevent … a negativeoutcome. We just want to make sure wetreat everyone with the appro-priate resources and time.”

The same can be said aboutyouth running away from grouphomes, Guerrero added, but hewas unable to provide the NOWwith how many youth fromgroup homes were reportedmissing.

In fact, Guerrero couldn’tprovide any specific data inregards to the demographics ofmissing persons files handledby the department because hedoesn’t have access to the data –it is compiled by a civilian staffmember separate from his unit. Guerreroadded in an email to the NOW that due toa shortage in “civilian staff specializing inthat field, a complete report would not beavailable at this point in time.”

In Canada, demographics on miss-ing persons are tracked by the NationalCentre for Missing Persons. According to

the centre, in 2013 there were 14,193 peo-ple reported missing in British Columbia– Burnaby’s 970 reports accounts for near-ly seven per cent of the provincial total.

Of the 14,193 reports, 7,262 were adultsand 6,931 were children. The data alsoshows that more than 50 per cent of allfiles are closed within 24 hours of thereports being made, while more than 85

per cent are closed within oneweek.

then the four specialized investigatorsfrom Guerrero’s unit take over. Oftenthat means they will reinterview fam-ily and friends of the missing to ensurenothing was missed during the initialstages of the investigation. Guerrero saidit’s common for people to remembernew details about a person’s disap-pearance as time goes on, which is whyspeaking with family and friends a sec-ond time is so important.

“We’re always in open communica-tion with family members too, becausesometimes they’ll forget … and they’llcontact us,” he added.

If the investigators hit a wall inthe case, that’s when a bulletin willbe released to the public through themedia, which almost immediately gen-erates tips from the community. It’sup to the investigators to follow up oneach and every tip that comes in just incase it could lead to a break in the case,Guerrero said.

“We will follow up on every single onebut we do look at them as far as what is thecontent of the tip. If a person indicated theysaw a person that’s possibly our missing, butthey’re very specific on what they’re wearingand it fits our person, obviously that would bemore of a priority,” he said.

Currently, there are seven missing personscases that remain unsolved in Burnaby –Angela Arseneault, Bryan Braumberger, ZeyuQu, Asim Chaudhry, Adam Richard Myers,Guifeng Tong and Lon Batchelor.

Still missingAngela Mary ArseneaultArseneault was reported miss-

ing on Aug. 29, 1994. She was lastseen on the evening of Aug. 19boarding a bus in Vancouver toher home in Burnaby.

She was born May 20, 1977, andwas 17 years old when she disap-peared. She is 5-6 and weighs 150pounds. She has a scar left insideknee about an inch long and twotattoos, one of a rose on her rightankle and another of a Chinese symbol on herleft shoulder, which reads “Rock and Roll.”

Bryan BraumbergerBraumberger, 18, was last seen leaving his

friend’s home in New Westminster in the earlyhours of May 31, 2007. According to previousreports, Braumberger told his friend he had towork the next morning. That was the last timeanyone ever saw him.

He never showed up for work at MaxwellPaper in Coquitlam the next morning and hehasn’t been heard from since.

When Braumberger’s parents, Ron andJanice, returned home the evening of June 1,there was a message from the George DerbyCare Centre on 16th Avenue. The message saidBryan’s car had been found in the parking lotand someone needed to pick it up or it wouldbe towed. They quickly alerted police and

reported their son missing.Despite a reward of $30,000 for information

on what happened to Braumberger, no newclues have been revealed.

Zeyu QuKnown as a happy young man, Qu became

more quiet and reserved during the days lead-ing up to his disappearance in 2009, accordingto police.

The international student from China was inBurnaby studying English and on Aug.9 he left a note for his home-stay familythat said he would be back in a few days.

But he never came back.At the time, police suspected the 18-

year-old had taken some of his belong-ings with him on Aug. 9, possibly carry-ing the items in either a large blue back-pack or yellow carry-on suitcase.

Qu was not believed to have anythingto do with drugs or alcohol. His family inChina was contacted but couldn’t travelto Canada. Qu was staying in a home inthe 6600 block of Broadway.

Asim ChaudhryChaudhry was always a happy-go-lucky

boy. Close to his mother and a good student,the 24-year-old became increasingly anxiousand melancholy during his time at SimonFraser University, according to police. Bythe time he crossed the stage at convocation,Chaudhry was “agitated and nervous.”

Chaudhry’s bad mood eventually dis-sipated and soon he was back to his old self,according to his mother.

“Before, he was very, very stressed out ordepressed,” Chaudhry’s mother Mansura toldmedia at a press conference in 2008. “In the lastthree months, two months to three months,he changed. … He was willingly going every-where with me and seemed happy.”

On July 20, 2007, Chaudhry left his home.He told his family he was on his way to SFU tostudy in the library.

Police have no record of Chaudhry everbeing at SFU that evening. They did determinehe met up with an old friend at BrentwoodMall. Together, the two friends had ice creamat the McDonalds before going their sepa-rate ways at the Production SkyTrain stationaround 10 p.m.

At the time, there was nothing to indicateChaudhry was involved in any criminal activ-ity or partaking in drugs or alcohol.

Adam Richard MyersLast seen on Oct. 4, 2010 living in his

Metrotown apartment. His family has notheard from him since, but did not report himmissing right away. Myers was 25 years oldwhen he went missing. He is 5-8 and 190pounds with brown hair and eyes. Last seenwearing a black winter jacket with blue jeansand white runners.

Lon BatchelorBatchelor has been missing since July 1,

2013 and was previously of no fixed address.He was reported missing by his family.

Two of the new Cariboo Road over-pass’s three lanes opened Tuesday as theTransportation Investment Corporationgets one step closer to finishing the PortMann/Highway 1 Improvement Project.

“It’s really a bit of a milestone for theproject because it’s one of the last pieces tobe constructed,” said Greg Johnson, com-munications manager for TI Corp. “Allof the other overpasses (along the Trans-Canada Highway) have been built andopened, and this is the last one.”

Construction on the Cariboo Road over-pass began last falland is nearing com-pletion. The over-pass is intendedto have two lanesnorthbound and onelane southbound,but crews mustdemolish the origi-nal overpass beforethey can completethe second north-bound lane.

“That overpasswas built in 1962 andit’s significantly dif-ferent than the kindof structure we haveover Highway 1 inthe new overpass,”said Johnson, notingthat the teardown of

the old overpass should be finished by theend of the summer. “A lot of this existinginfrastructure dates back to the early ‘60sand it’s our responsibility to make sure thatthey reflect the kind of traffic and use thatthey see today.”

In addition to vehicle traffic, the over-pass will feature a 3.5-metre pedestrian/cyclist multi-user path.

“It’s a safer overpass that is better suitedto today’s traffic,” he said.

Johnson added that most of the remain-ing work in the improvement project is onthe Port Mann Bridge. He said they hopeto finish widening the bridge to 10 lanes bythe end of the year.

Cariboo overpass is ‘a bit of amilestone’ for highway project

Kinder Morgan surveyors could be onBurnaby Mountain as early as this weekcounting birds and sampling soil along theproposed Trans Mountain pipeline expan-sion route.

The city opposes the expansion planand has denied the com-pany an encroachmentpermit for the work, buta National Energy Boardruling Tuesday renderedthat permit irrelevant,according to KinderMorgan.

The board ruled thatthe federal NationalEnergy Board Act gives pipeline com-panies like Kinder Morgan the power toenter and conduct surveys and tests onany Crown or private land that lies ontheir intended pipeline routes.

“There is no requirement … for compa-nies to reach agreement with landowners,the Crown, or otherwise, before exercisingthe right to access land,” stated the board’sruling.

The city had argued an NEB ordergranting Kinder Morgan access to theland would be unconstitutional since itwould override municipal and provincialjurisdiction.

The board, however, said it hasn’tissued Kinder Morgan an access order,and the company hasn’t asked for one.

Kinder Morgan sent the city a letterWednesday morning, stating it would liketo start surveys this week, Trans Mountainproject leader Carey Johannesson told theNOW.

“We have to confirm the drill rigs, helirigs that we’re going to be using, andthat kind of thing isn’t something thatjust happens over night,” he said. “We’re

just working with themto figure out when thatwould be. Having a biol-ogist in the field, that canbe done pretty quickly.”

But counting birdsand sampling soil is asfar as Kinder Morganwill get before runninginto further roadblocks

from the city, according to Mayor DerekCorrigan.

While the federal legislation may allowthe company access to the land for activi-ties like environmental surveys, he said, itdoes not give it licence to violate the city’sbylaws by activities like geotechnical drill-ing and building a helicopter pad.

“It simply gives access in this limitedway,” Corrigan said of the legislation.

The NEB ruling appears to contradictthat position.

“To interpret the survey power, asBurnaby has submitted, to allow only‘superficial access’ would not provide theboard with the information it needs and

Something changed in B.C.in 2001 – and it wasn’t justthe government.

When Gordon Campbell andhis Liberals decided to makeB.C. more business and indus-try friendly they had a visionof less red tape, fewer regula-tions and less gov’t oversight ofenvironmental standards.

The change in an entiremodel of how governmentshould, or was, involved inenvironmental regulations andoversight was no minor thing– although downplayed byLiberals at the time.

I remember an interview inmy office with Campbell dur-ing one of the campaigns as hebrushed off my questions aboutthe changes.

It was, he assured me, notnecessary to have all the redtape from decades beforebecause such strides had beenmade in protecting the environ-ment. He also said that compan-ies and businesses respondedbetter to a ‘goal’ model, insteadof a punitive one.

Joyce Murray, then min-ister of Water, Land andAir Protection (thankfully

this ‘rebranding’ was laterdropped and the Ministry ofEnvironment was reinstated)agreed with the new model.

The cynical journalist in mequestioned exactly why indus-try would be quick to meet‘expected’ regulatory standardsunder this new long-leash for-mula. While Campbell arguedthat it was in industry’s bestinterests to fully comply and beproactive I wondered if he real-ly believed what he was saying.Honestly, it’s all about money.And he of all people had tohave known that. And whatbusiness or industry doesn’tpush the limits in an effort tosqueeze more profits out of itsenterprise? And if an industry’sdelay in meeting expected goalsjust draws a nasty letter fromsome bureaucrat – well, heck,that’s not going to cut into theshareholders’ dividends. Jumpforward nearly a decade laterand one can now see the impactof a lighter touch in environ-mental regulations and compli-ance.

These kinder, gentler, lesspunitive environmental policiesallowed the B.C. government todump a lot of professionals whowould have been doing regu-larly scheduled environmentaland geotechnical appraisals.Biologists, engineers – whoneeds them when the industriescan hire their own and give youreports?

Safety rules without oversight means littleWhen a rail car loaded with crude

oil crashed and exploded in the centreof a small Quebec town last summer,the country was riveted – andrightly horrified.

The incident destroyedmuch of downtown LacMégantic and killed 47 people.

It was, by damage and death toll, theworst rail accident in Canada’s history.

It was also, according to critics of thecountry’s rail system, a tragic spotlighton just how destructive such an eventcan be, despite its rarity.

It’s unusual that an accident has justone cause, and the recently releasedTransportation Safety Board report on

the Lac Mégantic disasterconfirms that everything fromhuman error to mechanicalproblems played into the catas-

trophe.But among the most damning was

their conclusion that lax safety practices– by the railway company itself, butalso in follow-up and enforcement byTransport Canada – played a key role.

Rail accidents in B.C. have largely

occurred in unpopulated areas.But derailments are possible any-

where. Coal cars went off the tracksright here in Burnaby in January, dump-ing coal into a creek that feeds BurnabyLake.

The Lac Mégantic report leaves uswondering why the powers that be haveleft so much oversight to the companiesthemselves?

The federal transportation ministertold media last week that, in terms ofrailway safety, “the government putsthe rules in place. The companies are

expected to follow the rules.”That’d be a great way to manage

things for industries in which no humanlife or the environment is at potentialrisk or where profit over safety couldnever be a pressure. But transportation?Railways?

Direct, enforced oversight is critical,even if it costs us money to do it right.

One thing we know for certain is thatno investigation and no report – no mat-ter how thorough, how damning, howfull of recommendations for the future –can undo a disaster once it has occurred.

Long-leash policyis now biting us

Posturing from city on KM plansDear Editor:

Re: Kinder Morgan needs opposition, BurnabyNOW, Aug. 12

Mr. McQueen clearly prefers the “sawed off shot-gun” approach to politicking: close your eyes, fire atthose whom you believe oppose you, and hope tohit something or someone.

He needs to stop, breathe, and aim his rhetoricmore carefully to hit his intended targets instead ofhis own toes.

The NOW has reported (Aug. 11) that “KinderMorgan did not apply to the NEB to force the city toallow the company’s survey work to begin; it sim-ply asked for an interpretation of existing law.”

Even Mayor Corrigan understands that Burnabylacks jurisdiction to stop the Kinder Morgan expan-sion – even within city limits – including preventinggeo-technical surveys.

This is why Mr. McDade, the city’s lawyer, nowspends civic dollars filing papers for a constitutionalchallenge to gain Mayor Corrigan some meaningfuljurisdiction to back up his prior public posturing.

A court challenge may be more effective thanlying down in front of bulldozers (forcing taxpayersto cover later cleaning bills.)

But it is more expensive, too. There are better tac-tics available, like joining forces with those alreadyenjoying standing before the courts, including B.C.First Nations and Victoria, to push Kinder Morgan

into addressing Burnaby’s expressed con-cerns.

No one wants an under-engineeredpipeline in endangered species habitat,urban backyards, or parks!

No one wants survey work done inan environmentally questionable fashioneither. (But “quiet” networking ahead ofNEB hearings would not serve immedi-ate electoral purposes; which is why theposturing from the Mayor’s office con-tinues.)

Mr. McQueen follows with attacks onBurnaby First Coalition (BFC) mayoralcandidate Daren Hancott and the B.C.Chamber of Commerce – whom he labelsfriends of large business.

BFC is a coalition of individuals seekingto make Burnaby more business-friendly,less-heavily-taxed, and more family ori-ented, giving Burnaby a civic governmentboth transparent and accountable to localtaxpayers.

Mr. McQueen is clearly unaware thatB.C. Chamber membership is 95% smallbusinesses (less than 50 employees) withthe vast majority employing less than 10people.

Chamber members are a “backbone”of job growth, entrepreneurship, andinnovation in B.C.

Chamber volunteers spend thousandsof hours each year working with govern-ment to ensure that public policy pro-motes small-business success so that localemployment growth stays strong (readerscan review current work at BCChamber.org).

It should be no surprise for anyonefollowing Burnaby politics that our cur-rent mayor and council are not friends tolocal small and medium-sized businesses.This is clearly demonstrated in Burnaby’sproperty tax structure.

(When it comes to the gap betweenwhat businesses and homeowners pay,Burnaby is the fourth worst in B.C.,according to the Canadian Federation ofIndependent Business.)

Property taxation clearly lies within

civic jurisdiction. Daren Hancott, as a for-mer leader of the chamber is well awareof the urgent need to stop Burnaby fromtaxing small businesses to excess, drivingthem from Burnaby and hampering localjob growth as they depart.

Don’t trust ‘Big Oil’Dear Editor:

Re: Clean air important to petroleumindustry, Burnaby NOW, Letters to theEditor, Aug. 15

The Canadian Association of PetroleumProducers’ spokesperson claims thatCanada’s oil and gas industry is not sub-sidized. Really?

A 2013 International Monetary Fundreport, largely ignored by Canada’s corpo-rate media, estimates such subsidies at $28billion annually, much of it uncollectedtax on externalized costs, including carbonemissions and air pollution.

The David Suzuki Foundation estimates$6.7 billion in subsidies to oil, gas and coalsince Harper’s 2009 promise to end them.Even the Financial Post (May 21) admits to$211 million a year.

But we don’t need a statistics battle, justcommonsense ethics. Fossil fuels are finite,non-renewable resources.

Big Oil massively dumps greenhousegases into our atmospheric commons with-out offsetting the environmental damage.A transition to post-carbon energy is bothdesirable and inevitable.

The longer that takes, the greaterthe costs. Breakneck tar sands develop-ment delays that transition; subsidizingit encourages over-consumption and dis-courages investment in renewable energy,which creates many more jobs for moneyinvested.

The Kinder Morgan pipeline is integralto the tar sands behemoth.

Isn’t stopping it the most ethicaloption?

Don’t trust Big Oil’s “facts.” For inde-pendent energy policy information, trypembina.org, or policyalternatives.ca(Climate Justice).

Gov’t: Change for the worseThe policy may seem minor when

one goes through the scads of changeswrought in environmental regulationsduring recent years.

Mines in parks? No problem.Environmental assessments for naturalgas producers in the province? Whoneeds them? Fish farms? It’s all good.

Of course, compared to theConservatives’ gutting of federalenvironmental regulations, the Liberalslook almost left of center. But it’s coldcomfort for those who care about theenvironment.

In the aftermath of the Mount Polleytailing pond disaster Energy and MinesMinister Bill Bennett said “this is not an

issue of having enough inspectors on theground.”

He could be right. At this point itcould be about anything.

But it is surely the provincial govern-ment’s responsibility.

When you remodel a system to allowfor the speeders to push the limits youare responsible for accidents that follow.

The government is just darn luckythat there were no people in the pathof the Polley washout. This could havebeen about more than murdering theenvironment it could have been aboutmanslaughter.

would go against the intent of the legisla-tion,” states the ruling.

The board added it would not be logi-cal or in the public interest for the NEB torecommend approval or denial of a projectlike the Trans Mountain expansion with-out all the information before it.

But by avoiding the issue of an NEBaccess order, the board still stopped short

of giving Kinder Morgan licence to violateBurnaby’s bylaws, according to Corrigan.

He said the city intends to force theboard’s hand by stopping Kinder Morganfrom drilling or building a helicopter pad.

“If, in fact, we tell them that they can’tdo it, they should, I would expect, goto the National Energy Board and say,‘We need an order from you for access,’”Corrigan said. “At that point, now theConstitutional issue comes alive.”

Two former Burnabyresidents breached mul-tiple securities lawsby operating a com-pany the B.C. SecuritiesCommission allege was aPonzi scheme.

Yan Zhu (also knownas Rachel Zhu) and GuanQiang Zhang were foundto have committed fraud,illegally distributing secu-rities and withholdinginformation from investi-gators while running theirBurnaby-based companyBossteam E-CommerceInc., according to a pressrelease from the securitiescommission.

In 2012, the execu-tive director of the B.C.Securities Commissionissued a temporary freezeorder and notice of hearingagainst the two Burnabyresidents, alleging theirunregistered company wasreally an internet-basedPonzi scheme.

In a release from thecommission, it wasrevealed that betweenOctober 2011 and January2012, nearly $700,000 wasdeposited into two bankaccounts held in Zhu andZhang’s names.

Later that same year,the commission denied anorder to revoke the freezeagainst the two and the

company.On Aug. 19, a commis-

sion panel found that thetwo former Burnaby resi-dents and their companycommitted fraud, amongother violations againstthe Securities Act.

“The prohibited actscaused deprivation. Thepurchasers of Bossteamsecurities paid over $14million for ad packages,shares and consumercredits. They risked los-ing all they paid becauseBossteam had few payingadvertisers and little actu-al advertising revenue,”read a statement from thepanel.

According to thecommission, Bossteamdescribed itself as anonline advertising compa-ny, which offered publicshares in its company butnot before members sold$2,000 worth of advertis-ing.

Furthermore, the panelfound that the companywas misleading its cus-tomers by giving them theimpression big-name localand international busi-nesses were advertising ontheir website, the releaseadded.

The panel also discov-ered that Zhu and Zhangwere instructing staff andclients not to reveal thetrue nature of the Bossteamcompany and to tell inves-tigators from the commis-sion “that Bossteam wasonly selling advertising,and to refer to Bossteamshares as consumer

credits.”Both Zhu and Zhang

were found to have com-mitted fraud, illegal dis-tribution and obstructionof justice.

Zhu was also found tohave provided false andmisleading statements.

Sanctions are expectedat a later date.

Building a foundation for future families

The crisis, as Burnaby’s Gerda Wevercalls it, started this past February with aphone call.

It was a youth worker from her young-est son’s high school, and Wever was toldto come down immediately.

When she arrived, her son was inshambles.

“He was crying, he was very scared,”she recalls.

K (name withheld to protect his iden-tity) was addicted to heroin. He had beenusing for about two years – since he was15 – and he was using needles.

Immediately,Wever sprunginto crisis mode.

“I said, ‘K,We’ll deal withthis. We’ll getyou help,’” sherecalls.

Heroin wasn’tthe only thing K,was strugglingwith. The sum-mer before, hehad had a men-tal breakdown,and the addic-tion was makingthings worse.

Getting helpfor a teenagerwith a mental ill-ness and a drugaddiction proved

more difficult than she could have imag-ined.

Wever had learned the best solutionfor concurrent disorders was to treat boththe mental illness and the addiction at thesame time.

Yet, in her experience, drug rehabilita-tion centres don’t want to deal with men-tal illness, and places that treat mentalillness don’t want to deal with addiction.

K was in and out of rehab for thefirst few months, but nothing seemed towork. While attempting to detox, K waswrithing in constant discomfort and pain.Wever was there with epsom salt bathsat 2 a.m., massages – anything to try and

make him comfortable in his own skin.Of course, she still felt terrified and

powerless. There were times she wasafraid to go into his room – she didn’twant to find him dead.

“I actually learned what to do in caseof an overdose,” she says.

It wasn’t until a couple of monthsago, when K started taking methadoneand was admitted to the ProvincialYouth Concurrent Disorders Program atChildren’s Hospital, that he started ahealthy path to recovery, and Wever hassupported him along the way.

As for the mental illness, Wever is still

waiting for a diagnosis, but she suspectsit’s either obsessive-compulsive disorderor anxiety, or both.

Dealing with K has made Wever anadvocate for youth with concurrent dis-orders. She’s decided to use her business,a small, local editing and publishing com-pany called The Write Room, to launchthe PARCY Foundation.

Her goal is to raise awareness aboutconcurrent disorders and raise money tosupport research. She also hopes to start ascholarship and award for three Burnabystudents struggling with concurrent dis-orders.

Wever’s son has been clean for morethan 30 days, and she’s ready to “comeout of the closet” and speak openly aboutconcurrent disorders.

“It has been really difficult to talkabout, but I don’t want to contribute tothe stigma,” she says. “My main objectiveof the foundation has to be increasingunderstanding and compassion.”

She also has advice for other parents:never stop talking to your child, andnever stop saying I love you. For more onher foundation, go to thewriteroom.netand click on The Parcy Foundation.

Advocate: Gerda Wever, founder of The Write Room, is launching a foundation for youth with concurrent disorders. Shewas inspired by her son’s struggle with addiction and mental illness.

2014 Honda Accord Touring finds a balance

Design:Not much has changed

for the 2014 year in termsof the Accord’s sheetmetal, assuming you dis-count the optional Hybridversion with its blue-greenenviro-cues. It’s a conser-vative design, yet the moreI look at it, the more thereis to like.

You get 18-inch alloyson both the Touring andSport trims, but the stock17in rims look just fine,and will have cheaper-to-replace tires anyway.

There is the slightworry the LED treatmenton the Accord’s frontheadlights is going to startlooking a bit dated as theLED-as-decorative stylefades out of the luxurymarket. However, as anoverall effort, the frontfascia manages to look dis-tinctively Honda without

looking too distinctive.This is a car that should

age well on the outside.

Environment:While there’s much to

like about the interior ofthe Accord in terms of spa-ciousness, the applicationof technology leaves some-thing to be desired. TheAccord’s twinscreen setupis going to puzzle morethan a few people. Why’dthey do that? The top 8inscreen looks nice, but it’soperated by a rotary con-trol, while a second lowerscreen handles the audiofunctions, and is at a lowerresolution.

It’s odd, but it works– and yet a simpler layoutprobably would have beenbetter. Having said that,the integrated LaneWatchsideview camera is the sortof clever innovation thatonly Honda could comeup with: every time youput your right turn indica-tor on, a camera mounted

on the right mirror showsa nice clear display downthe side of the car, mak-ing watching for cyclistseasy, and parallel parkinga cinch.

Other than that, theback seats are simply enor-mous, and ditto the trunk.

Performance:While the Accord is

far more refined than theHondas of yore, it still hasa bit of that racing spirittucked under the hood.The four-cylinder optionmakes a reasonable 184hpat 5,000rpm and 181lb/ftof torque at 3,900rpm. Thedual exhausts on the Sportmodels uncork an extra5hp, and the V6 stompsout an impressive 278hpand 252lb/ft.

Honda, bless theirhearts, will sell you anAccord with a real six-speed manual if youwant, but you’re better offselecting a ContinuouslyVariable Transmission, if

you don’t want to wait.Truth be told, Honda’s

nailed this transmission.Unless you’re brutal withthe throttle, it doesn’twhine and rubber-bandtoo much, and is extremelysmooth and efficient.

Even better, theAccord’s chassis is that ofone of the ballerinas theH-badge used to put out,meaning that it’s reallyquite quick and nimble.The electric power-steeringis well managed, withoutbeing over boosted, and itfrankly feels like a returnto form.

Tackling a curving on-ramp, the four-cylinderAccord carried enoughspeed through the cor-ner that little power wasactually needed for extraacceleration. That’s just theway an old Honda wouldhave made the most of itspower, and the payoff isa great driving experiencewith minimal penalty atthe pump.

Features:Standard equipment

in the mid-size sedansegment is usually verygood and the Accord is noexception. The 8in displayand a backup camera arestandard, as is Bluetoothhandsfree, automatic head-lights, and heated seats.Move up to the Touring-spec trim and get leatherheated seats fore and aft,

satellite navigation, and amulti-angle rear camera.

Fuel economy is ratedat 7.8L/100kms in the cityand 5.5L/100kms on thehighway. The new five-cycle testing would likelyindicate a 10-15 per centbump in those figures, butthe Accord did return verygood fuel economy in thereal world, particularly theway the CVT worked inthe city.

It’s not hard to get ninemonths of flowers outof the daisy family even

if all you have is a coupleof containers to plant themin. Many are so happy inwell-drained soil that con-tainers are an ideal spot.

Daisy flowers are pro-fuse, long lasting and goodfor cutting. Even theirfaults are generous ones.They tend to seed around,and clumps increase fast.Most like sun but can han-dle partial shade. Thoughrelaxed about wateringmost of the year, they doneed watering in long, hotsummers.

The show beginsin March with the yel-low, daisy flowersof Leopardsbane(Doronicum). Varietiesrange from three feet (onemetre) tall to 12 inches (30centimetres) – nice for beesearly in the year.

Just a tad later, the verydwarf double daisies openwhite, pink or rosy redpompoms – spectacular

the first year, but after thatflowers are smaller. Thesewere bred from Bellisperennis, the lawn daisy,which some gardenersloathe and others love.

By mid spring, thefleabanes (Erigeron) startflowering and continuefor ages. These are a hugefamily of daisies oftenwith so many narrowpetals they can look semi-double. Colours vary fromwhite, pink to variouspurples. They love gooddrainage and some hap-pily self-sow in drivewaysand paver cracks.

By summer, Shastadaisies open their usuallywhite petals with gold cen-tres. Today, Shasta flowerscan be double, shaggy, orhave quilled or twistedpetals. Many dwarfs arenow available and one,“Becky,” opens yellowpetals which slowly turnto white. If you deadheadthem in July, you’ll getmore flowers later.

Echinacea is a daisythat’s become hugelypopular. It’s a nativeNorth American daisythat had herbal uses as animmune system stimula-tor and is still used for thispurpose today. It is bestin poor soil because thishelps it stay compact – andit hates to be moved.

At summer’s peak,coneflowers (Rudbeckias)begin blooming. Thenewer ones today aredeveloped from the nativeBlack Eyed Susan that cov-ers the B.C. Interior hillswith gold in summer. Allgrow and expand so fastthat the main problem isusually stopping them.

These days rudbeckiaflower colours go beyondthe blazing “Goldsturm”which is still so populartoday. “Cappuchino” isbronze-brown, “PrairieSun” is gold with pale tipsand a green centre and“Cherry Brandy” is redwith a dark cone.

Soon the perennial fallasters flower. Today, theyare mainly dwarf, and col-ours are intense purples,rose, pink and soft white.“Purple Dome” is only18 inches (60cm) ,while“Alert” is only 12 inches(30cm). With these, as withother daisies, pests aren’ta problem. Among thetallest popular daisies areHeleniums (Sneeze-weed).These are rugged 3’ (1m)tall perennials that likerich soil and moisture, butsurvive nicely on less.

Anne Marrison is happyto answer garden questions.Send them to her via [email protected].

SIX OF 10 BUYERS

Do you have 20 per cent to putdown on residential propertypurchase? If so, you are rarein Canada’s housing markettoday where, despite the

urgings of the federal Finance Minister,few buyers have that kind of cash.

According to the latest data from CAAMP(Canadian Association of AccreditedMortgage Professionals) only 39 per cent ofhome buyers between 2010 and the spring of2012 put down 20 per cent or more. The surveyincluded both first-time and repeat buyers. First-timebuyers accounted for 56 per cent of those polled.

The survey found that:• 41 per cent of buyers had less than a 10 per cent

downpayment;• 21 per cent had more than 10 per cent but less

than 20 per cent to put down.This means that about 60 per cent of buyers needed

to purchase mortgage insurance. This insurance thatprotects the lender in case the borrower defaults onhis or her mortgage payments. If an insured mortgageis in default, and the lender can’t collect from the bor-rower, the insurer pays the lender back.

Mortgage default insurance is required by most

lenders whenever a homeowner puts down less than20 per cent. The biggest mortgage insurers in Canadaare Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation,Genworth Financial, and Canada Guaranty--in thatorder. Mortgage insurers charge premiums to bor-rowers to cover the insurance expense. These feescan range from less than 1 per cent to more than 5per cent of the principal value, depending on the bor-rower’s mortgage type, loan-to-value, property type,and amortization.

The insurance premiums are typically added to themortgage at the time of closing. While possible, theyare rarely paid in advance.

Putting down 10 per cent on the [Canadian] aver-age $350,152 home, for example, means the buyerwill pay $6,302 insurance premium (given fully docu-mented income and decent credit). Since insurancepremiums are tacked on to the mortgage that adds upto $9,000 or more if the mortgage loan is amortizedover 25 years.

It is easy to see how mortgage insurance rulechanges - which came in this summer - may alterhome buying trends. In another few months, we’ll geta good sense for how recent changes in the mortgagemarket will impact buyers and mortgage volumes,despite mortgage rates remaining near historic lows.

PUT LESS THAN20 PER CENTDOWN Saving for a downpayment is challenging:

most home buyers need mortgageinsurance to balance the purchase.

There is no gold medalto play for, but beatingOntario 6-3 in Game 3 of afive-game series is rewardenough.

“It says we pretty much(are the best in Canada),”said Team B.C. midgetlacrosse runner MackenzieBurns of Burnaby. “I thinkit’s the first time (B.C.) hasever won.”

B.C. opened the serieslast Sunday with a 10-2victory in Coquitlam andfollowed up the win witha narrow 4-3 triumph atQueen’s Park on Monday.

OnTuesday,B.C. sur-renderedan earlyone-goal

lead but ended the first per-iod with a three-goal to run,including go-ahead goalsfrom Dennon Armstrongand Reid Bowering ofCoquitlam.

Port Coquitlam runnerClark Walter put the hostsahead 4-1 on a power-playgoal, but Ontario replied,closing the deficit to 4-3heading into the final per-iod.

In the third, Tavin Grantof Burnaby, who finishedthe game with three assists,set up both Jack Kendalland Jacob Campbell ofJuan de Fuca for back-to-back goals to ice the winand the series for B.C.

Team B.C. outshotOntario 34-28 in Game 3.

Earlier this month, B.C.ran away with its firstmidget national champion-ship title without Ontarioand the Iroquois Nation inattendance.

“I think that is why wewere so successful thisyear. We were not just alloffence,” said Burns of theteam’s overall balancedlineup.

Ontario’s box lacrosseteam missed the nationalsbecause of a commitmentto its province’s SummerGames.

The five-game series willwind up tonight (Friday) atthe Langley Events Cenrein Langley at 6 p.m.

The converted Burnabymidfielder was named tothe tournament all-starteam following Canada’s 4-1 shootout win over Haitilast Sunday.

The 14-year-oldMountain United FC prod-uct was groomed as a

defender for the continentalregion championship, butwas left out of the startinglineup for Canada’s open-ing 5-0 win over PuertoRico on Aug. 7.

“It motivated me towork even harder,” said theGrade 9 Burnaby CentralSecondary student. “WhenI didn’t see myself on thestarting list, I figured I hadto work 10 times harder.”

She did, starting in allfive of Canada’s remain-ing games and playing sowell the coaching staff kepther on the pitch for all but

the final five minutes ofCanada’s 1-1 draw withHaiti in the group stage.

“Every game I think Igot better,” said Regan. “Ithought it was a great resultfor us to be put togetherand win the whole tourna-ment. It was amazing.”

Now Regan has hersights on bigger goals.

“Yeah of course. Mynext thing is the u-17 WorldCup in Jordan, that’s mynext goal. It’s a great expe-rience to represent Canada.If I can do it again, I will, ofcourse,” she said.
