Dyingsystemupgradetocost$8.9milByJanayaFuller-Evansjfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Burnaby is getting some LIP workdone, and it is going to cost big bucks.The city is replacing its current per-

mit plan system with a much more ex-tensive Licences, Inspections and Per-mits System.The system purchase andfirst phase of implementation comeswith a price tag of $8.9 million.This is a major software initia-

tive for the city that will, number one,replace the dying permit plan sys-tem,Coun.Dan Johnston, head ofthe citys financial management com-mittee, said at the last council meet-ing. This would replace that software,which I understand is in its last stag-es. It would also be able to tie in thenew software into our safety system,so there will be some real economicbenefits from tying the two systems to-gether.The new system would allow city

staff to enter and share informationwhile out in the field, Johnston point-ed out.The software will give our existing

staff the ability to replace what theyvegot, but also to be a little more mo-bile and tie into their laptops, he said.When staff are out doing inspectionsin the community, theyre able to en-ter information right into the system,they dont have to come back to theoffice.The current system is more than 18

years old, according to a city staffreport, and the hardware and soft-

ware is no longer supported by thevendors. It is used to process licences,

Members of a local advocacy groupwant the City of Burnaby to do more toprotect low-cost apartment rentals in theMetrotown area.About 40 people came outWednesday

for an ACORN rally on Silver Avenue,in front of two buildings they fear will bedemolished to make way for expensivecondos.We have lots of members who live in

rental apartments in Burnaby and a lotof them, like the ones on Silver Streetare relatively inexpensive, said ACORNspokesperson and Burnaby residentMurray Martin. Were worried thatnone of our members are going to beable to afford these new places.They willbe displaced.With the vacancy rate solow, they will probably be forced out ofthe city.Martin said the Metrotown area is a

hot spot for condo development.by the City of Burnabys appetite

for condominium development,Mar-tin said.According to Martin,ACORN has

1,300 members in Burnaby.The groupwould like to see the city restrict rezon-ing to help stop the demolition of moreaffordable rental buildings.The city saying theres nothing they

can do is factually not true.They canstart by not allowing rezoning applica-tions on existing purpose-built rentals,Martin said.TheNOW called Mayor Derek Cor-

rigan for comment, but we did not hearback by press time. Coun. Colleen Jor-dan heads the committee that over-sees housing issues in Burnaby, but shewasnt available either.According to a 2014 report from the

50 million nematodes for only $35

[email protected]

Burnaby coupleYu-taLu and Evonne Cheng arehoping to one day buy ahome for their family offour.In the meantime, they

live at their parents place a situation they say wontbe changing anytime soon.As a one-income family,

I find it simply difficult tobuy a house here.When welook around, the price startsat $400,000, $600,000, Lusaid. Thats just not some-thing were able to afford.Lus story was one of

many told during a round-table event held in Burn-aby onThursday by B.C.NDP leader John Horgan.The discussion, aimed atholding the Liberal govern-ments feet to the fire, waspart of his partys FamiliesNeed a Break! tour beingheld throughout the prov-ince.Horgan referenced Feb-

ruarys budget, when thegovernment increased util-ity fees and medical servicepremiums, while giving a$236-million tax break tothe top two per cent wageearners.They told the rest of

us to tighten our belts anddo a little bit more with a

little bit less, he said. Ithink thats wrong.Theend result of all of this, pil-ing the costs onto regu-lar families, is that peoplearound this table are hav-ing a tougher time makinga go of it.Local mother and daugh-

ter Hiruth andTamalaMwandemere also spokealongside Horgan, sharingtheir experiences of beingsaddled with student debt.Hiruth, who went to school

for nursing, said shes stillpaying off her student loan,while trying to keep up withher mortgage and put herdaughter through school.If I didnt have my par-

ents, I would have reallystruggled to go to school,Tamala explained. Its re-ally hard to go to school fulltime and work full time.Horgan argued one of

the factors contributing toless affordable housing isforeign investment, a prob-lem he said is not being ac-knowledged by PremierChristy Clark.

The government doesnthave any data.The premiergot together with a cou-ple of developers, real es-tate speculators, said Whatdo you think we shoulddo? and they said, Lets

just wait and see. Not goodenough, he said.The roundtable was held

at the office of Raj Chou-han,MLA for Burnaby-Ed-monds.The citys other twoNDPMLAs also attended.

Corporation, Burnabysnumber of rental units de-clined to 12,357, which is267 fewer than in the previ-ous year.ACORN pointed to the

2014 Goodman Report, au-thored by real estate expertDavid Goodman, whichshowed there were 123 rent-al buildings that changedhands in the region last year.

(That reflects an increasefrom 94 sold in the previ-ous year.) Most were two-or three-storey wood framebuildings built in the 60s,and the lions share was inBurnabys Metrotown area.UnlikeVancouver, Burn-

aby provides an example offree-market forces allowingfor unrestricted demolitionof rental apartment build-ings, and ironically this is an

NDP stronghold,Good-mans report reads.There were 23 apartment

buildings sold in 2014, andthere have been anoth-er eight sold in 2015 so far.The overwhelming majori-ty are in the Maywood areaclose to Metrotown, whichis one of the citys larg-est concentrations of rentalhousing.

It wasnt their style, ac-cording to a long-timefriend, but two Burnaby se-niors renewed their weddingvows this week after be-ing reunited at a local carehome.Arne and Iris Sorbo,

whove been married for 58years, were reunited at Nor-manna Rest Home in Feb-ruary after the story of theirnearly yearlong separationin different care homes wasfeatured in theNOW.OnWednesday, Nor-

manna hosted a sunny out-door ceremony, completewith bubbles drifting in thebreeze, for them to renewtheir vows.Its not an idea the couple

would have come up withthemselves, according toArne, who once sat on theboard of Normanna, a carehome established by theNorwegian community

the Sorbos community.People who are happi-

ly married are going to beremarried, said Arne. Icould have said no, but I feltI did a little good to the or-ganization.The ceremony wasnt

Iriss kind of thing either,according to friend KariMeidal, whos known thecouple since 1958, but shesaid her friend perked rightup in the company of oldfriends on hand for theevent.Sometimes shes as clear

as can be,Meidal said.Now shes enjoying it.

Some might call it hypoc-risy, others might call it justgetting to the point a littlelate, but in any case, it wasstill hard to believe.Stephen Harper said, We

simply have to find a way tocreate lower carbon-emit-ting sources of energy.Now, this was said at the

recent G-7 summit wherethe nations leaders get to-gether for photo ops andsome behind-the-scenesarm twisting, so were notsure if Harper was just try-

ing to look like hes a 21st-century leader or if hes re-ally serious.After all, Germany has

basically called out Cana-da for its handling of the oil-sands and says this nation isshirking its global Leader-ship responsibilities.Harper said the call for

a low-carbon footprint willrequire a transformationin our energy sectors. No-bodys going to start to shutdown their industries orturn off the lights.Thats

an understatement. Harp-ers government has donevirtually nothing to moveaway from oil dependen-cy. Far from turning off thelights, Harper has, by hiscomplete lack of leadership,turned a blind eye to theproblem.There is something sad-

ly ironic that while Harp-er stands spouting clichs atthe G7 gathering in Germa-ny, back in Canada nothinghas changed.In fact, here in Burnaby,

the National Energy Boardis looking at an applicationby Kinder Morgan to makea massive expansion of bothits oil pipeline and shippingfacility.If Harper was remote-

ly serious about chang-ing course in this country,he would have directed theNEB to allow informationand evidence regarding theimpact of such proposalson climate change. But, in-stead, we have a board thatwill ignore the elephant in

the room.And, why is that?Because if one looks at whatimpact our rush to expandthe oil business has on ourfuture on this planet, onewould have no rational ex-cuse for massive expansion.It is simply counter-survival.Its a bit like a parole

board deciding that it cantlook at how a murderers re-lease might impact the com-munity, only looking at howgood he was at keeping hiscell clean during his stay inprison.

But perhaps we misjudgeHarper, and somewhere onhis desk, beneath his plansfor Senate reform, is a bravenew plan for transformingthe energy sector in Can-ada. One that would see anewly formed National En-ergy Board securing pro-posals and funding for newalternative energy sources.Dream on.

Anti-SLAPPlawsnecessaryIts important to clear

up misconceptions aboutSLAPP Suits, or Strate-gic LitigationAgainst Pub-lic Participation. Bill Phelpswrites that the NDP andI want to deny a plaintiffsright to a trial (Burna-by NOW, June 5).Noth-ing could be further fromthe truth.Anti-SLAPP legislation

is specifically designed tobring a speedy resolution tounmeritorious civil suits andto protect rights to freedomof expression and assembly.At present, plaintiffs respon-sible for SLAPP suits usu-ally large transnational cor-porations do not want aspeedy trial but rather seekto drag court cases on ad in-finitum in order to increasethe monetary, time andemotional costs for defend-ants. SLAPP suits rarely goto trial as they are primarilymeant to punish, intimidateand threaten those who op-pose the plaintiffs econom-ic or political goals.SLAPP suits are also

used for their chill factorover the public at large.Themere mention of a multimil-lion-dollar lawsuit often de-ters many others from ex-ercising their rights to freespeech and assembly. In thisway SLAPP suits attack theheart of Canadian democra-cy as we know it.No one wants to deny

the right of legitimate plain-tiffs from having their day incourt to remedy a wrong.Anti-SLAPP legislation

is designed to ensure thatonly legitimate lawsuits are

permitted to proceed past apreliminary stage. In caseswhere a defendant can showit was expressing itself on amatter of public interest, theburden shifts to the plain-tiff to show that its case hassubstantial merit.Anti-SLAPP legislation

is designed not to suppressCharter rights, but to pro-tect them for those who donot have tens of thousandsof dollars to defend them-selves from large corpora-tions who want to stop pub-lic protests.In my case, I was denied a

court trial to clear my namebecause the large transna-tional that brought charg-es in a $5.6-million civil suitagainst me used a legal pro-cedure to discontinue thecase.This has resulted indamage to my reputation asan advocate of non-violentprotests and freedom of ex-pression.The discontinu-ance forced the transnation-al to pay a fraction of mylegal fees but leaves stand-ing charges of conspiracyagainst me personally.Quebec has anti-SLAPP

legislation and there is a billbefore the Ontario legisla-ture. In the United States,almost half the states haveanti-SLAPP legislation toprotect constitutional rightsto freedom of expression.B.C. had anti-SLAPP leg-islation in the early 1990sand was the first provincein Canada to enact protec-tions, before it was repealedby the Liberals. It is time tobring anti-SLAPP legisla-tion back to B.C.

Charges and fines totalling $4,450 under the federalFisheries Act were levelled at six people caught poachingcrabs at Barnet Marine Park in April.The federal depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans took the action after seiz-ing 80 crabs, including 65 Dungeness crabs.The allegedpoachers were charged with catching and retaining under-sized crabs, catching more than the daily quota and fish-ing without a sport fish licence.The crabs, meanwhile,were released back into the waters of Burrard Inlet.

Nematodes wontsolve chafer problemDear EditorWhat a gift the city is going tomake a few hundred doses of nematodesavailable to the first in line.

The chafers are flying early this year I cansee themhovering overmy boulevard. Theytend to love open, uncovered areas, and ourpublic boulevards are the perfect host forthem. Sowhen the city offers to subsidize afew hundred doses of nematodes, they arehoping that you are going to apply them topublic land because, if you apply themonlyto your property, you are setting the scene forcontinued procreation of next seasons turftossing, war zone, skunk rooting, crow dig-ging ad infinitum future crop of chafers.

If the city would take a small portion of itssurplus and devote it to real research of thechafer problem I expect that wewould seesome improvement, but until they do you canexpect to see continuedmassacred lawns allover Burnaby and beyond. Excusemewhile Ichafewhen payingmy huge property tax billknowing that the city is likely to spend it onsomething frivolous or gift it to elitist sportsgroups. Oh, I have just ordered enough nema-todes to nukemy lawn and the nearby boule-vard on two sides of our property. Maybe thecity would like to give us a tax credit for doingtheir job?PatrickGillan,Burnaby

Why was recallcampaign excluded?Dear Editor I ama resident inBurnabyNorthandamconcerned that theBurnabyHeightsMerchants Associationhas overstepped itsauthority bynot allowing theB.C. Citizens forRecall volunteers toparticipate at theHatsOffDay street festival on June 6.Why theywouldnot allowanauthorizedElectionsB.C. cam-paignhints at political interference.

TheBHMAsaid it did notwant anypoliti-cal activity at their festival but I understand itallowed the sittingMLA, RichardT Lee tohaveapresence. Additionally, thepolitically activeDogwood Initiativewas also tobe therewithvolunteers asked to collect signatures for aspecific political cause. Also, theB.C. NDPweretobe there andactively asking for signaturesfor their ownpetition.

It is clear that the claimofwanting tobestrictly non-partisanby theBHMA is not themotive for excluding the recall volunteers.

According to theBurnabyNOW, theBHMAhas suggested that therewere past com-plaints about people aggressively handingoutpamphlets. This is, in fact, incorrect as the re-call people havebeenactive for less than twomonths andare trained tonot interferewithvoters and carry ElectionsB.C. guidelines thatclearly definepermissible behavior. If thiswasactually an issue it could havebeendiscussedandadditional guidelines set but this nevercameup. This further suggests that theBHMAsmotivesmaybepolitical in nature.

The recall campaign is an authorizedinitiative by ElectionsB.C. and is a part of thedemocratic processweall support andenjoyby living inB.C. It shouldbe enthusiasticallysupportedby any andall persons and corpora-tions that call B.C. their home.What is thetruthbehind theBHMAs request for the recallpeople tonot attend their event? It is clearlynot thepolitics. It appears tobe yet anotherB.C. government dirty trick andoriginatefromB.C. Liberal government operatives.DougSoon,Burnaby

laws, we do have rules thatwe expect businesses togenerally follow.City staff determined the

companys business mod-el did not comply with thecitys Cab Regulations By-law.Burnaby councillors

ing a wave of new construc-tion, with the citys buildingpermits surpassing 2013snumbers and nearing thoseof 2012, according to a citystaff report.As of April 30, the city

had issued 594 build-ing permits for 2015.Thatnumber easily passes lastyears entire permit total 127 and has even gonebeyond the 524 permits is-sued in 2013.And it is only34 permits away from tyingwith the 628 permits issuedin all of 2012.Of the nearly 600 permits

issued, 157 were for com-mercial buildings (149 ofthose were for alterations orrepairs), 141 were for sin-gle-family homes (108 of

those were for new builds),and 156 were for demoli-tions.There were also 46 per-

inspections and permits.The cost for the first

phase of the project was es-timated to cover software li-cences, hardware, contin-gency, professional servicesand additional staff to im-plement the new system.City staff will assess the

costs for future upgradesand phases of the project asit is implemented, and willissue staff reports to coun-cil when requesting autho-rization of further expenses,Johnston said.Last year, the city autho-

rized $4 million in spend-ing for the extension andupgrading of enterprise anddepartmental applicationssoftware.The initiatives cov-ered included a fuel-systemupgrade, web portal devel-opment, geographic infor-mation systems, supplier-re-lationship management, aswell as funding towards thereplacement of the licence,inspections and permits sys-tem.The first of the citys ma-

jor system upgrades camewith an even heftier cost,and has cost millions tomaintain annually.Burnaby replaced city

halls enterprise resourcecomputer system with themultimillion-dollar SAP(Systems,Applications andProducts) system in 2007

the final cost for implement-ing the system was estimat-ed at $28 million.The total

cost of running the portalwas more than $29 millionas of 2013.

The B.C. governmentsdecision to hike beer pricesisnt sitting so well with a lo-cal brewer.Ben Coli, owner of Dag-

eraad Brewery, says thenew wholesale pricing sys-tem has negatively impactedhis craft beer business sinceit came into effect April 1.Private liquor stores, whichused to receive a 16-percent discount on whole-sale costs, now pay the sameprice as their public coun-terparts.The policy change, how-

ever, has resulted in a high-er bill at the till, as the storespass the cost onto the con-sumer.Craft beer, in particular,

was hit with a 12 to 14 per

cent markup as of June 1,according to Ken Beattie,president of the B.C. CraftBrewers Guild.To put it in perspective,

Colis private liquor storeclients now have to pay 30to 40 cents more per bottleof his Dageraad brew, whichhe said could equate to upto 60 cents more on a shelfin a private liquor store hismain clientele.Im quite worried about

some of my customers andwhether theyre still going tobe in business this time nextyear. Ive already had onecustomer close so far, hetold theNOW. The fear isthat theyre not going to beable to compete anymore.This is just another dis-

advantage for private opera-tors, Coli says, adding B.C.Liquor Stores now have

weekend and holiday hours,as well as the right to installrefrigerators.Colis brewery, which

opened its doors last year,has dropped its profit mar-gins as a way of absorb-ing some of the blow. Pricesin the tasting room,mean-while, have been kept rea-sonably low.The entrepreneur isnt

sure what the summer sea-son will look like given thenew rules, but imagines hisproduction volume will beaffected.It makes a big difference

for us. (Craft beer) is boom-ing in this province rightnow, and for the provincialgovernment to step in andbasically pour cold water onthe whole industry at thismoment, I find it baffling,he said.

The oating roof out back isa nice touch, and makes theCX-3 look even smaller thanit is. The body-lines aretwo overlapping swoopingcurves, and give the cara hunchy, just-about-to-pounce, demeanour.

The base CXs get a standard16 alloy, which couldmaybebenet from a slightly better-looking pattern. The GT versions getan 18which looks great, but will costyoumorewhen its time to swap tires.

Environment:Apart from the iPad-glued-to-the-dash look of theinfotainment, the look of the CX-3s interior exceedspretty much anything in its class, and could gotoe-to-toe with entry-level luxury like the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Little details, such as the colour accentsthroughout the cabin and the single horizontal airvent, give this little crossover an upscale feel.

Slide behind thewheel andMazdas crossover feelsverymuch a drivers car. Hands automatically grasp thewheel at the correct 9-and-3 position, and the seat feelsnicely bolstered. Rearward visibility isnt wonderful, butthe sidemirrors are large enough to handle the issue.

Adopting a more relaxed position, I rest my rightelbow on... nothing. Theres no armrest here, its adealer accessory.

Pretty as it is, the littleMazda has a few ergonomicquirks. The cupholders, for instance, aremountedalmost exactly where your elbows go. Here, too,the CX-3 is just like its droptop cousin; in that thecupholders are an afterthought as well.

Smartphone storage is a bit more of amixed bag, with a small tray up frontthatll work for most folks, but is toosmall for larger phones. Still, dual USBoutlets are handy.

Cabin space in the rear is quite small if youre a young parent, stick withthe CX-5. The trunk has a two-positionoor, so is narrow but usefully-sized.

Performance:Under its long hood, the CX-3 getsthe same 2.0L four-cylinder engine asfound in the Mazda3. Thanks to somepackaging considerations, it makes alittle less power: 146hp and 146lb.ft oftorque.

Thats hardly about to set theworld onre, but pairedwith the quick-shifting

Slide behind the wheeland Mazdas crossover feelsvery much a drivers car

6-speed automatic transmission, theCX-3 feels sprightly off the line. Asanurban runabout, its got plentyof scoot. It sounds pretty good too.

On the highway, themainimpression is thatMazdas reallydone a good job in controllingnoise, vibration, and harshness.The CX-3 is a smooth cruiser,evenwith its short wheelbase. As a

commuter, itll do the job too.

But where this little trucklet reallycomes alive is at the weekend on a

wriggly mountain backroad. It is a hoot,a dive-in-the-corners momentummachine that

absolutely loves to dance.

Steering assist is electric, so theres not a ton of feel,but in all other respects, the CX-3 drives like amoderninterpretation of the Protege5. Remember that usefullittle wagon? In the sameway, thismachine doesnthave big power, but it makes themost of it.

So, were talking about an automatic-equippedcrossover that puts a grin on your face? You bet, andwith plenty of grip and a faithfully composed chassis,the CX-3 is actually surprisingly quick through thecorners. It eggs you on, a willing co-conspirator forbackroad shenanigans.

Frankly, Mazda should immediately start guringout how to turn this car into the next Mazdaspeedmachine. Add some turbocharging pep and it couldreally put the hurt on higher-dollar machinery. As itis, its a single-serving-sized barrel-of-laughs.

Features:Mazdas infotainment system, while not fullyintegrated into the dash, is actually very easy to use.Theres a single rotary controller, BMW-style, andnavigating through the menus is easy. Navigation is adealer-installed accessory.

Fuel economy gures are a claimed 8.2 litres per100 kilometres city and 6.7 L/100 km highway forthe front-wheel-drive, and 8.8 L/100 km city and7.3 L/100km highway for all-wheel-drive. Observedmileage in mixed driving was right on the money.

Green Light:Great looks, inside and out; sporty handling; smoothride; good fuel economy

Stop Sign:Smallish interior; some ergonomic issues; couldhandle a little more power for highway passing

The Checkered Flag:Most of the fun of a Miata, but with four doors and atrunk.

The newMX-5 is a brilliant little car, nimble,light, quick; all the appeal of the originalwrapped up in a package thatmeetsmodernrequirements but has the soul of the original.But it doesnt reallymatter.

No, as good as the new ND-chassis Miatais, its not going to save Mazda. It simply

doesnt have the room to carry the company andwhile many have fallen in love with the best-sellingroadster ever made, we all have more practicalneeds to consider. Enter the need for a crossover.Yawn. Crossovers? Boring.

But wait. Whats this? Is it... fun?

The recipes all wrong: front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder, automatic transmission, and a needlesslyjacked up suspension. It should be dull.

But heres the thing, this little lightly poweredcrossovermanages to bemore fun to drive than severalso-called sports coupes. Its aMiata-with-a-backpack,and it justmight be the saviourMazda needs.

Design:First impressions are excellent. Mazdas new designlanguage has already produced the great-lookingMazda6 sedan, and turned the stalwartMazda3 into asort of Japanese Alfa-Romeo. Here, it gives a compactcrossover the sort of fresh andmodern look the veryrstMazda3 hadwhen it hit showrooms in 2004.

The front is dominated by the shield-shaped corporategrille, and the jutting lower portion of the fascia givesthe little CX-3 a bit of a growly character. LED daytimerunning lights bleed into the chrome surround of thegrille, a cue perhaps cribbed fromBMW.
