isabel Kolic, of the Burnaby heights merchants association, and Jack Kuyer of valley Bakery and KJ eom of regent fish, are concerned proposed changes to the community shuttle bus that serves the area will make it more difficult for residents to get to local shops on Hastings Street.

“are among the lowest performing routes in the transit system, generating average loads of 2-3 passengers per trip.” Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association, suspects those numbers are an average of the entire day’s ridership between (6 a.m. and 10 p.m.) since the shuttles are often packed during rush hour periods. The proposed route would likely help businesses around Kensington but at the expense of the Heights commercial district and people who use it, Kolic said, adding she

only learned of the plan by word of mouth. “So we’re making it harder for our local Heights people to use our neighbourhood on foot, but making it easier for them to access other parts of the city rather than shop close to home.” Seniors or people with mobility issues will be particularly affected by the proposed route but anyone who might be carrying a heavy load of groceries or dealing with nasty weather will also be impacted. please see ShuTTLE, A4

Burnaby taxpayers will see jumps in their utility bills after council approved six per cent increases in their water and sewer rates for 2013. The six per cent water rate hike reflects a six per cent increase in what the Greater Vancouver Water District charges the city to supply water as well as the cost of replacing aging infrastructure and maintenance programs, said a city staff report. Burnaby city hall sets its water rates to cover the cost of renewing infrastructure without having to borrow funds, it said. The city’s current priority is to replace remaining asbestos cement watermains which are at the end of their useful life, and the replacement of aging pumping stations to meet current and future demand due to expected population growth the next 10 years. Burnaby’s water rates have risen significantly in recent years, going up by 11 per cent in 2008, 12 per cent in 2009, 14 per cent in 2010, 11 per cent in 2011 and six per cent this year. see AVERAgE BILL, A5

Shuttle service well used in Heights neighbourhood ⫸

continued from front page

“If their doctor is actually on Macdonald Avenue then they’re going to have to walk [from Willingdon] or take a taxi or two shuttle connections in order to travel the equivalent of nine blocks,” she said. “If TransLink is trying to encourage public transit use, then they do need to look at the value of transit to the people who use it and not just absolute numbers, adding up a total at the end of the day and then dividing it up by the number of trips.” Kolic is encouraging people to

attend a TransLink information session on the proposal, Wednesday, Dec. 12 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Gilmore Community School gym, 50 South Gilmore Ave., which she noted is not even on the shuttle route. The staff and residents at Seton Villa plan to pack the seniors residence’s bus to attend the meeting and make their voices heard, said its executive director Fran McDougall. The community shuttle stops just outside Seton Villa’s door and is used by a quarter of its staff and many of its 230

residents, McDougall said, and the news about the proposed changes is all the talk at the residence. Staff worry the reduced frequency could make them an hour late for work if they miss their connection, residents wonder how they’ll get to doctors appointments, pharmacies or their favourite shops in the Heights, she said. The low-income seniors can’t afford to take cabs instead and the Handi-Dart is only for very specific types of trips, not for shopping or visits to friends and family in nearby hospitals. “Yes, it may not be making [TransLink] money but it’s a long hike uphill for anyone to walk, especially in the winter. That’s a long hike up from Hastings.” McDougall said the service is well used at Seton Villa. “When I come to work there’s always someone at

the bus stop in the morning, I see staff getting off and I see residents getting on ... The impact may not be in numbers but it’s certainly significant on people’s lives.” For Margie Manifold and other parents of students at Alpha secondary, the concern is about the reduction in frequency. Manifold, chair of the Heights Neighbourhood Association, said if the proposal goes ahead missing a shuttle will mean her daughters will either have to wait an hour for the next one or walk home to the northwest corner of Burnaby in the dark and rain while carrying heavy band instruments, a trek of about an hour. Capitol Hill resident Peter Cech said the reduction in frequency will mean he likely wouldn’t bother using the shuttle at all “because I’m not going to build my schedule around something that arrives every hour.”

The concerns he’s heard from his neighbours is that any unexpected delays would only be magnified on an hourly schedule, and elderly residents in North Burnaby would be greatly impacted. For people who live up the steep hills in the area, he predicts they won’t want to depend on the shuttle and will stop using it altogether, ironic since TransLink’s justification for the change is not enough people are using it now. Cech also said the shuttle is full after work and if people need to buy heavier groceries, they’ll end up taking their cars to go shopping instead of waiting an hour for the bus or trekking with the load up the hill on foot. “If the whole ethos is to get people out of their cars, this is a step backward.” To provide feedback to TransLink: http://bit.ly/Xa1l8S twitter.com/WandaChow

Elizabeth Smayda has turned her own spiritual journey 40 years ago to overcome postpartum depression into an inspirational story that has been published in a Chicken Soup For the Soul book.

Local woman provides some Chicken Soup for the Soul Contributed to latest collection, Finding My Faith Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

In many ways, Elizabeth Smayda’s life was shaped in the 1970s. That’s when a bout with postpartum depression left the Burnaby woman feeling isolated while recovering from an illness that was not as well understood and accepted as it is today. She rarely shared her story, due to the stigma, but always thought that if she did, it would be with the hope of helping someone else. Smayda, 64, has done just that by writing a short piece about her experience and how her spirituality played as big a role as any medical treatment in her recovery all those years ago. The story has just been published in the latest volume in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books, entitled Finding

My Faith. “My journey would’ve been much less painful for me and everyone else involved if I had loved myself through it,” Smayda said in hindsight of her recovery. Her experience gave her a different outlook on life, she said. It also helped put her on the path toward her future career “because it helped me to connect with the vulnerable in society.” Smayda eventually got training in hospice work and as a nursing assistant and counsellor. She worked as a counsellor for 14 years at the Elizabeth Fry Society in New Westminster, when she was known as Betty Russell. “It was the first job that was definitely what I was meant to do.” For the past eight years, she has worked at Vancouver General Hospital’s extended care unit as a health care

assistant. It’s there that she worked with a former patient, Reta, for six years. “She was a very courageous lady,” Smayda said of Reta living with complications of diabetes. “She couldn’t see, she couldn’t walk but that lady, she still found reasons to laugh. She had an amazing spirit.” Smayda credits Reta, also a Chicken Soup for the Soul fan, with encouraging her to submit a story for publication. Several months later, when Reta died, the idea stayed with Smayda and after being further inspired by a reading by one of her favourite authors, Lisa Genova, she decided to take the plunge. Now that she’s seen her story in print, she’s thrilled and hopes to continue writing. As for what Reta would think, Smayda said, “She would be just elated.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s finance committee, said at Monday’s council meeting that the jumps in water rates are partly to help pay for a new filtration plant in North Vancouver. While there may be some debate over the need for such a plant, Johnston said, ultimately the federal government mandated it so Metro Vancouver had to build it. For a single-family home, the utility bill will increase by $29.23 from $487.24 to $516.47,

which includes a five per cent discount if payment is made by March 15. The six per cent sewer rate hike is necessary to cover the cost of sewer maintenance, the higher costs of replacing aging infrastructure and a two per cent increase in what the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District charges the city for services including sewage treatment. Burnaby’s infrastructure work includes the continued separation of old combinedsewer-and-storm-sewer lines

to prevent raw sewage from spilling into local waterways during heavy rainfalls. City sewer rates have gone up by nine per cent in 2009, 8.5 per cent in 2010, 7.5 per cent in 2011 and six per cent in 2012. For single-family homeowners, the sewer rates will go up by $27.51, to $486.02, and for people in multi-family homes the flat sewer use fee will increase by $14.90 to $263.25. Both figures include the five per cent discount if payment is made by March 15. twitter.com/WandaChow

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Explaining the drain Many people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is minimal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras. A lack of wage growth for most working people, other than government workers, explains a portion of the problem. But a big part of the puzzle is how inflation is calculated. According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods, including food, shelter, furniture, clothing, transportation and recreation. The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, interest rates were over 20 per cent — and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually. Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever. Interest costs are draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger factor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room. Taxes are not considered inflationary. Steady jumps in medical service premiums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied. TransLink’s boost to the gas tax isn’t considered inflationary. Nor is the carbon tax. In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.” —Black Press

Poverty of politics continues VICTORIA – B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage

again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.”

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

My point is not to deny that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income CutOff,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister

Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

COMMENT

Transparency should apply to all leaders’ salaries What on earth makes federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair think that we, the taxpayers, would be OK with First Nations leaders robbing their communities blind? The bill which he opposes does not even address the problem. It merely requires to have chiefs and band councillors disclose their salaries and other benefits. Just in case you missed it, 50 First Nations politicians are currently earning more than $317,000, annually (tax free), the salary of our prime minister. The average native community consists of 1,142 members. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is, of course, in charge of 35 million people, and the second largest country on the planet. A total of 160 First Nations politicians earn more than $190,000, the salary of the premier of B.C. Our two local MPs usually come to the rescue when it

appears I have “misunderstood” something their leader said. I can hardly wait for their “explanations.” I have not had a good laugh for a while. Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

PROTECT OUR INTERESTS Every week that goes by is another case study in the BC Liberals divorcing themselves from reality. This week, we have a whopper of a statement being made by Randy Hawes which needs to be addressed. In response to the government’s decision to change how a tax on beer producers is calculated, which served to benefit Pacific Western Brewery, Mr. Hawes indicated that “it’s wrong and it’s contrary to the basic tenet that we have always laid out there and that’s: We don’t subsidize businesses.” With due respect to the MLA

for Abbotsford-Mission, that’s simply untrue. Corporate taxes under the Liberals have been cut from 16 and a half per cent to ten per cent, or a 61 per cent decrease in actual taxation of corporate income. This has all been done while increasing fees on citizens and consumers, such as the multiple Medical Service Plan hikes. The Liberals created a structural deficit in order to provide a rationale for increasing fees and reducing services for the middle class. The Liberals may be talking about being “families first” these days, but the only family doing well under their leadership is the family of corporations that provide campaign funds to Liberal election campaigns. It’s time for a change and for an NDP government that will protect our interests, not CEO interests. Trevor Ritchie Burnaby

B.C. eyes pipeline tolls for spill fund Pipeline group supports idea of polluter pay Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is considering following the lead of Washington state and putting a toll on pipelines to fund better leak prevention and spill response programs. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced Wednesday that the government is seeking public and industry input into a new plan to ensure a “polluter pay” system for oil and gas pipelines and other forms of hazardous B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake material transport. “For instance in the state of Washington, a the Trans Mountain pipeline five-cent a barrel tax is applied that moves oil from Alberta to the owner of the oil product to tanker port at Burnaby and received into a storage tank,” carries on south to supply Lake said. Washington state refineries. “Four cents of that is put into The state toll applies to all oil an oil spill prevention account, crossing the U.S. border. and another one cent into oil Brenda Kenny, president of spill response account.” the Canadian Energy Pipelines He added that this applies to Association, said the industry

supports the concept of polluter pay and is looking forward to discussing the toll proposal and other suggestions. She said B.C. already is home to 6,000 km of natural gas pipelines and another 2,500 km carrying oil and other liquids, and more safeguards are needed if that network is to grow. Lake said the initiative is not tied to the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal across northern B.C., or Kinder Morgan Canada’s plan to twin the Trans Mountain line. Resource development is increasing, with many kinds of hazardous materials being moved by rail car and truck as well as pipelines, he said. A discussion paper has been posted on the environment ministry website at www.gov. bc.ca/env/. Lake said submissions from the public and environmental organizations will be accepted until Feb. 15. twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Former Coquitlam substitute teacher Aleksandr Plehanov has been acquitted on charges he sexually assaulted a handful of students in schools throughout the district. Judge David St. Pierre said the Crown had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Plehanov intended to touch the girls, who were seven and eight years old at the time, in a sexual manner. “It was clear from the evidence that Mr. Plehanov either was completely ignorant of or ignored the parameters and boundaries that were expected of a teacher by the school board and/or the teaching college relating to appropriate contact between a teacher and students,” St. Pierre said in B.C. Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam Monday morning. He went on to describe Plehanov as a “clearly ineffectual teacher” in a substitute role and said “certain contact is expected” in a classroom. While it may not raise any eyebrows to have a kindergarten teacher put a student on his or her lap, St. Pierre said, those boundaries become less clear as students get older. Behaviour that may breach the teaching profession’s code of conduct isn’t necessarily criminal, he added. Plehanov, a Burnaby resident, is alleged to have touched students inappropriately soon after he started teaching in School District 43 in 2007. The

Clark talks tough on spending Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark previewed the B.C. government’s next budget update Tuesday with a speech to a Coquitlam business audience stressing the virtues of balancing the budget for next year. Clark’s speech to the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce came as Finance Minister Mike de Jong prepared to present the second quarter update of the current budget Wednesday at the legislature. His first-quarter update in September had the province on track for a $1.14 billion deficit for the fiscal year ending in March. Taking questions after Black Press Files the speech, Clark wouldn’t Premier Christy Clark is vowing to present a balanced budget when the legislature rule out tax increases of resumes sitting in February. all kinds when the next budget is presented in February.

With the February budget setting the stage for the May 2013 election, Clark took direct aim at NDP leader Adrian Dix’s recent vow to repeal B.C.’s balanced budget law. “If you don’t have a balanced budget law, then deficits become the rule and balanced budgets become the exception,” Clark said.

One of the men killed in a targeted shooting Monday in Burnaby had ties to a group that Abbotsford Police once said was the dominant gang in the community. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed Tuesday Sukhveer Dhak, 27, and his bodyguard Thomas Mantel were the victims of the shooting that took place at the Executive Inn Hotel and Conference Centre on Lougheed Highway. Burnaby RCMP responded to several 911 calls at about 11:30 a.m. Monday after what appears to have been a targeted shooting. Both men died at the scene. Dhak was connected to the Dhak-Duhre criminal organization. In October 2010, the Abbotsford Police named the Duhre Group as the prevalent gang controlling the drug trade in the city, following the arrests of several prominent Red Scorpions, including the Bacon brothers. More recently, police have said the gang distinctions in Abbotsford have become less clear. Also in October 2010, Dhak’s brother, Gurmit, was killed in a shooting at Metrotown mall. On Aug. 14, 2011, Jonathan Bacon of Abbotsford was killed

in a mass shooting outside a casino in Kelowna, and it has been speculated that the Dhak-Duhre Group was involved. The following month, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s gang task force issued a public warning that anyone associating with the Duhre and Dhak groups could be at risk following the shooting of an associate in Surrey. Sandip Duhre, 36, one of three brothers with a criminal history, was gunned down in January of this year at a restaurant inside the Wall Centre in Vancouver. Although he was believed to have been living in Surrey at the time, he was known to frequent the Abbotsford area. Sandip’s oldest brother Balraj has survived three targeted shootings. The middle brother, Paul, has been less conspicuous. His only criminal history dates back to 1996, when he was charged with obstructing justice and possession of stolen property. Prior to his death, Dhak had been on trial in B.C. Supreme Court on drug trafficking charges. Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or Solvecrime.ca.

Making light of the coming apocalypse Mario Bartel

It’s the end of the world and Bob Robertson feels fine. That’s because, as the calendar ticks down to the apocalypse on Dec. 21 as predicted by the Mayans, he’s been getting ready. The New Westminster comedy writer and performer is sharing some of his Armageddon advice in his guide to the cataclysm, Mayan Horror: How to survive the end of the world in 2012. Robertson says he’s confident the Mayans got it right. After all, they were ahead of their time. They were masterful mathematicians and astronomers. They civilized Mexico before it became overrun with tourists and gangsters. They constructed impressive temples that all came in under budget because they were built with slave labour.

With great layouts, beautiful features and amazing amenities, finding the perfect home at Grand Central will not be hard. “We’ve been very careful to efficiently design the homes,” says Rennie project manager Macartney Greenfield. “Our layouts are pretty fantastic.” Ranging from 545 to over 1,400 square feet, the 249 homes are available in a range of one- and two-bedroom plans, some with a den as well. The 37-storey building has huge windows and spacious balconies or patios, so the outdoors is never far away no matter what the weather is like. Inside, the 8’8-ceilings and laminate wood flooring throughout the living and dining rooms combine for a truly great first impression. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Chelsea and Manhattan, giving you options for making your home yours. Stainless-steel appliances, contemporary wood veneer cabinetry and quartz countertops are all included in the elegant kitchen, and the marble backsplash is a highlight. “It really sticks out as a design
