Protester’s case triggers new bill

Alan Dutton says Kinder Morgan’s lawsuit against him was intended to silence and intimidate him By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Kinder Morgan’s civil suit against five Burnaby Mountain protesters has inspired one of the defendants to push back with renewed calls for anti-SLAPP suit legislation in B.C., and the NDP is championing that cause with a new private members’ bill. Alan Dutton, a former member of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion, is at the heart of a new group calling for provincial legislation against frivolous lawsuits meant to silence opponents. “SLAPP suits are a direct threat to democratic process,” Dutton told the NOW. “SLAPP suits attack the very foundation of our society.They are designed to stop people from speaking out; they are designed to stop people from assembling.” “SLAPP” stands for “strategic lawsuit against public participation,” which Dut-

ton says refers to cases where the plaintiffs, often corporations, are trying to intimidate and silence opponents while draining their financial resources through the courts. According to Dutton, a retired academic, Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Jane Shin approached him about SLAPP suits. Shin then took the issue back to her caucus, and on Tuesday, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog tabled the private members’ bill in Victoria. Krog’s bill would allow SLAPP suit defendants to bring forward a motion to have their case dismissed in court. Since the Liberals hold the majority of seats in Victoria, there’s very little chance of the private members’ bill passing. In 2001, the NDP brought in antiSLAPP suit legislation, but it only lasted about five months before the Liberals secured a landslide majority in the provincial election and repealed it.

What’s the plan for SFU? If there was a major fire at the tank farm thousands could be trapped on Burnaby Mountain By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Tens of thousands of people would be trapped at Simon Fraser University in the event of a major fire at the Burnaby Mountain tank farm, and the university is unable to properly plan for it without more information from Kinder Morgan. Worst-case scenario infernos would force the fire department to close the only two access roads to SFU, and it’s not clear if people on campus would be safe from the resulting plumes. “There is not a plan; there’s not a plan specific to that scenario,” said Terry Waterhouse, SFU’s chief safety officer. “We would have to do what we call ‘shelter in place’ and keep people on the mountain.” There are only two access roads to SFU, and they intersect just above the storage facility, where massive tanks hold 1.6 million barrels of oil. Kinder Morgan wants to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline and ex-

pand the storage facility, tripling capacity to roughly 5.6 million barrels by adding 14 new tanks. Some of the new tanks would be about 150 metres from the crossroads to SFU. Information from the company has been lacking, even for the current tank farm, according to Waterhouse. “We had nothing from Kinder Morgan. We had had no commitment we would get unredacted plans from them.We had no commitment to work together.We’ve had all but minimal communication with them,” he said. SFU commissioned two studies to enter as evidence for the NEB hearing.The first examined the current tank farm risk assessments and impacts on SFU.The second report was a “gap analysis” to analyze the company’s risk assessments and determine what information was still missing. “Basically, what we found is the risk

Newsnow THE CHANGING CITY

Affordable rentals part of Edmonds development Proposal encompasses eight separate lots, including one owned by city By Janaya Fuller-Evans

SUNFLOWERS TO SOAP:

The Burnaby Farmers’ Market is up and running again for the season, drawing people to the north parking lot at Burnaby City Hall every Saturday morning. The market, which runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., includes vendors and a host of extras – a kids’ area, a used book exchange, games table, reading area and more. Above, Loralia Plant Growers offers up some lovely sunflowers. Right, Korina Hogan peddles her Royal Herbs soaps on May 23. The market offers a variety of special celebrations throughout the summer season, including an upcoming Father’s Day edition on June 19.

Yeehaw: Fiddler Fred Bodnaruk entertains visitors with some country and swing music during last weekend’s farmers’ market at Burnaby city hall.

The issue of affordable housing continues to be a hot topic in Burnaby and throughout the region, but on Monday night city council took one small step toward addressing the problem. While eight preliminary rezoning applications were considered and approved in principle at the weekly council meeting, one in particular seemed tailor-made to deal with declining affordable rental stock in the city. The redevelopment plan encompasses eight separate lots, including one vacant lot owned by the City of Burnaby and a lot that was previously a Petro Canada service station, according to a staff report.The properties span the northwest corner of Kingsway between 10th and 11th avenues. The applicant,Triumph Properties Ltd., is proposing a multiuse and multifamily development that includes affordable rental housing. “Residential units are proposed to be stratified units that would be used only as rental units,” a letter from Triumph’s president, John MacDonald, stated. “Triumph is proposing to offer the units as affordable housing and is working separately with B.C. Housing towards achieving this.” The proposed Gold LEED development would also include grade level commercial space, the letter added. “I just want to highlight that this particular proposal, although it’s very early in the stage of development, is coming to us as a proposal to build rental housing,” Coun. Colleen Jordan pointed out at Monday’s meeting. “With all the controversy in the press and various other sectors just now, this will be the third

one that’s developer-initiated that’s coming forward.” Jordan was referring to reports about older rental stock in the city being bought up and replaced with pricier highrise condo developments, particularly in the Metrotown area. Councillors, including Jordan, have said in the past that the city’s hands are tied by a current bylaw that allows owners to redevelop sites as they wish, so long as rezoning isn’t required. They have also said they can only approve or deny developers’ applications as they come in – they cannot mandate that developers only build rental properties or focus on affordable housing. Critics, including members of the Burnaby chapter of Acorn (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) Canada, say city council isn’t exercising the power it does have in terms of rezoning applications to protect or add to rental stock. Burnaby council approved the development plan for the Edmonds properties in principle, with the caveat that a fully developed plan be brought forward at a later date. Council also approved plans to include the sale of the city-owned property in the rezoning process, with the city’s planning and building department working with the applicant towards a development plan, which would go to public hearing. The price of the cityowned property at 7382 11th Ave. would be determined by the city’s legal and lands department, and the sale proposal would also go to public hearing after council consideration and approval, according to the staff report. “We’ll see if it gets through the process to eventually end up on our desks,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said.

City now ‘This changes everything’ By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

“This changes everything.” That was how Royal Columbian Hospital head of psychiatry Anson Koo described the impact the recently announced $260-million redevelopment of his health care centre will have on people battling mental illness in the Fraser Health Authority, including Burnaby. Phase one of a threephase total redevelopment of the regional hospital was announced by Health Minister Terry Lake at the New Westminster hospital Wednesday. With almost $250 million from the province and just over $9 million from the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, the first stage includes a 75-bed mental health and substance use facility and the health authority’s first dedicated geriatric psychiatry unit for elderly patients with acute depression, anxiety or psychosis. Phase one also features

eight added or expanded outpatient clinics to help patients transition to community mental health services and community life. Koo explained Wednesday that RCH’s current aging 30-bed Sherbrooke Centre was originally built as a nursing dormitory, not a mental health unit. “We all know that it falls short in so many ways as a psychiatric unit,” he said. “Very soon our patients will receive care in a modern, purpose-built mental health

facility, which is more than two-and-a-half times our current size and, more importantly, has a therapeutic environment with open spaces to the outdoors, privacy and ample light. Believe it or not, our current space does not have these things – things that will actually promote healing and recovery in our patients who come into hospital.” Koo emphasized the new facilities would benefit patients from all over Fraser Health.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Tank farm a ﬂash point for problems Explosions of molten crude? Plumes of poisonous sulphur dioxide? Widespread forest fires, and tens of thousands trapped at Simon Fraser University? These are just some of the worst-case scenarios raised by SFU’s consultants and the local fire department in respect to the proposed Kinder Morgan’s tank farm expansion. One reason we’re hearing so many concerns lately is because intervenors in

the National Energy Board hearing filed their evidence on Wednesday, so there is a flurry of these damning reports. One common complaint from both SFU and the local fire department is that Kinder Morgan has not supplied sufficient information for the existing tank farm – we’re not even talking about the expansion yet. That’s right.The Burnaby Fire Department is still waiting for fire pre-plans –

for the current tank farm – plans that would provide detailed information on how, exactly, the company would handle a major fire at the oil storage facility. You mean to tell us no one has figured this out yet? Meanwhile, SFU has no plan for a major tank farm fire or spill because the university still needs more information from Kinder Morgan. Kinder Morgan has pointed out that there has

never been a major fire in the six decades the tank farm has been operating, and while that may be reassuring for some, worst-case scenarios need proper planning. The tank farm is close to a residential neighbourhood, an elementary school and SFU, and yet there’s no clear understanding as to who would handle a major fire. The Burnaby Fire Department has put the com-

pany on notice that it will have to handle its own fires onsite. How can you build on a pipeline system – twin the line, triple the tank farm capacity and expand the marine dock – when you haven’t addressed major fire safety concerns, which have been outstanding for at least a year? If Kinder Morgan wants us to believe all the PR hype about their safety record moving forward, they need

to get their house in order now, before even thinking about an expansion. That means bending over backwards to get SFU and the fire department all the information they need to properly plan, because if that worst-case scenario were to hit tomorrow, people’s lives would be at serious risk, which is just unacceptable.

MY VIEW JORDAN BATEMAN

Politicians hate gov’t ads Not that there’s any lack of entries in this category, but you can add government advertising to the list of things-politicians-oppose-until-they’re-in-power. As the curtain begins to come down on the Lower Mainland’s TransLink tax plebiscite, B.C. taxpayers have been reminded what happens when politicians have hold of our chequebooks during an election campaign. In opposition in 1999, Christy Clark hammered the NDP government for spending $700,000 in taxpayer money on advertising their budget. In 2013, the government-opposition roles in B.C. had reversed. Clark’s B.C. Liberal government unashamedly spent a big chunk of its $36 million taxpayer-funded communications budget on slick TV ads, touting their economic record and jobs plan and laying the foundation for their improbable comeback win. The opposition NDP – once the guilty advertiser – was outraged by this malodorous spending, even launching a petition calling for an end to taxpayerfunded partisan ads. Sadly, that new New Democrat position seems to have gone the way of the dodo.With both the B.C. Liberals and NDP firmly supporting the TransLink tax campaign, the provincial parties turned a blind eye to TransLink mayors spending $7 million in taxpayer dol-

lars to win this plebiscite. This flip-flop seems to happen whenever a new government moves into power. In Ottawa, a government advertising scandal helped bring down the Liberal Party a decade ago, much to the delight of the Conservatives. In the decade since, some estimates have those same Tories spending as much as $750 million on taxpayerfunded ads, many of which have promoted their political agenda. In November, B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer tried to bring common sense to the issue. Bellringer recommended government prohibit partisan political information in government communications, and put together specific guidelines setting out what should or should not be included in ads. While the Canadian Taxpayers Federation generally chafes at the idea of adding another government committee, it’s clear no party, of any political stripe, can be trusted to do the right thing when it comes to advertising on our dime. At least not once they form government. It seems politicians will spend anything to get reelected, especially when it’s taxpayers footing the bill. It’s time to put pressure on them to close the chequebook and campaign with their own money – not ours. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the CanadianTaxpayers Federation.

Modest complaint is ‘utterly offensive’

Save rental buildings, don’t tear them down

Dear Editor In response to “Modest Complaints” from Larry Bennett, dated May 19. With regard to Mr. Bennett’s statement: “I have never seen so many illegal u-turns at controlled intersections in my life … nor drivers who think that a stop sign applies only to those whose mother-tongue is English.” This kind of ignorance is not needed, nor welcome in our city or in this country. My father came to Canada in 1959, and he, along with millions of other immigrants to Canada, built this country. This statement is utterly offensive, and to all whose mother tongue is indeed not English, you owe an apology. Vesna Jankovic, Burnaby

Not right to destroy children’s future Dear Editor Mayor Corrigan has stated he is willing to be arrested to protest the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. He thereby risks his position as mayor and a lawyer. His commitment is admirable as the triple expansion will be an unacceptable risk to the entire Burrard Inlet from Point Grey to the Wigwam Inn. On April 8, there was a small leak of 2,700 liters leakage from a freighter off Kitsilano beach which amounts to 94 barrels of oil but it took the Coast Guard three hours to respond and caused considerable damage to wildlife, sea life and the shoreline. Modern freighters carry 1 to 2 million barrels of oil. When, not if, an accident happens, the entire Burrard Inlet will be coated with oil as thick as 10-15 centimetres of oil. All sea life will be killed, and wildlife and humans will suffer catastrophic health problem. Only then will we realize that we cannot eat money or buy good health. We have no right to destroy our children’s quality of life. Thomas H. Hara, Burnaby

Are fish safe to eat? Dear Editor Absolutely stunning photo of the chap fishing on the lake. Question: are we allowed to eat these trout we catch? I grew up on a property at the bottom of Royal Oak. Our land backed up to Oakalla. I know the sewage from there used to go into the lake, so as a child I wasn’t allowed to go swimming there, even though the beach was open down off Sperling. Mr. Corrigan has a beautiful gem in walking distance of his office. I hope I see it cleaned up in my lifetime. April Ramsay, Burnaby

It’s time to listen Dear Editor Hooray – we now have an expert’s report that tells us to ‘beware’ of the bitumen spill threat, confirming our worst fears but no doubt Kinder Morgan have their expert’s report. Who’ll win? Wanna bet? Mr. Harper has already signalled that these pipelines ‘shall be built’ in the ‘national interest.’ Then why bother with these silly NEB hearings? Those that wish to traverse our lands and sail our waters had better learn to listen. Carl Shalansky, Burnaby

Metrotown Residents Meanwhile, a developer at 6380 and 6420 Silver plans to level 109 units of rental apartments for 2 more high rises, and the Gold House development waits for council to rezone its lots on Cassie to level four other buildings for another two high rises.

City now Expert: Report incomplete By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Kinder Morgan’s risk assessment for the Burnaby Mountain tank farm contains serious deficiencies, and the proposed expansion would not pass muster in the U.K., according to an expert hired by the City of Burnaby. ASK Consultants founder Ivan Vince – a chemist, engineer and scientist specializing in industrial hazards – authored a report on Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion for the tank farm. “The application for expanding the Burnaby terminal would, in my opinion, have failed in the U.K. and, in all probability, throughout the EU,”Vince wrote in his conclusion. According to Vince, Kinder Morgan’s risk assessment

falls short, mainly because it does not consider a “boilover” event, where heated tanks can explode, spraying burning crude over the mountainside. “The risk assessment carried out on behalf of the applicant contains several serious deficiencies,”Vince wrote. “A valid risk assessment, addressing both severity and likelihood, with due consideration of boilover, would in my opinion lead to the conclusion that the risk is already high and would become intolerably high, … if the expansion went ahead.” According to Vince, a boilover would potentially endanger firefighters and anyone close by that wasn’t evacuated in time. Radiant heat from the resulting fireball and burning oil raining down could start a forest

fire, which, if uncontrolled, would cause evacuation problems for people at Simon Fraser University. Kinder Morgan’s proposal to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs oil from Alberta to Burnaby, includes plans to triple capacity (to 5.6 million barrels of crude) at the tank farm, not far from homes, schools and Simon Fraser University. Vince’s online CV includes work as an investigator examining the Buncefield tank farm fire of 2005. Vince’s report is just the latest in a barrage of evidence intervenors are filing with the National Energy Board. Once all the intervenor evidence is filed, Kinder Morgan’s representatives will have a chance to reply through the NEB hearing.

Dutton: ‘It still isn’t resolved’ Continued from page 1 Dutton characterized his case with Kinder Morgan as a SLAPP suit. He was one of five protesters named in Kinder Morgan’s multimillion-dollar civil suit, which the company filed in order to secure an injunction against protesters on Burnaby Mountain. “I’ve just been through this horrendous, horrendous case, which took almost four months to get through, and it still isn’t re-

solved,” Dutton said. In January, Kinder Morgan filed for “unilateral discontinuance,” effectively dropping the case against the Burnaby Mountain Five. Dutton still had tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, although much of it was covered through fundraising. “I still have statements made about me and my character on the record, and they have not been settled,” said Dutton. “I didn’t want

(the case) discontinued. I wanted it to stay active so I could appeal.” Dutton still wants to sue Kinder Morgan for defamation. His refusal to drop the issue has led to a rift with BROKE and his departure from the group. He’s since formed the Environmental Defense Working Group, which has landed two grants from West Coast Environmental Law to further the anti-SLAPP suit cause.

Missing info Continued from page 1 assessments to date are not rigorous enough, and without those risk assessments and cooperation and collaboration with Kinder Morgan, we cannot prepare emergency plans and protocols that we require,”Waterhouse said. Missing information included risks from fire-related emissions, like smoke and sulphur dioxide. Moving forward,Waterhouse would like to see those gaps filled. “Because we take the health and safety of our community very seriously, we would want and we need these issues addressed, and we will continue to push on in the process and be demanding of Kinder Morgan and Trans Mountain to provide the information we need as a community in a very unique geographic situation,”Waterhouse said. “We’re close and we’re potentially isolated, and we want that clearly known.” SFU’s average population fluctuates between 30,000

to 35,000 staff and students.There are also 3,200 residents living at UniverCity, and the population is projected to grow over the next decade.There are trails leading off the mountain, but they are very steep and would not be suitable for a mass evacuation,Waterhouse explained. Chris Bowcock, Burnaby’s deputy fire chief, said his department is responsible for evacuating people, but an organization the size of SFU would typically have its own plans in place to help make that process more efficient. Even if the university had an evacuation plan, the department still could not move them through a hazard area close to the tank farm, which makes escaping effectively impossible. “If we can’t safely move people down the road,” Bowcock said, “(then) we don’t have the ability to evacuate SFU.” No one from Kinder Morgan was available for comment.

Business now $27 million for General Fusion Financing allows company to continue research on fusion energy Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

General Fusion is still researching the production of clean energy, and will continue to do so, thanks to a financing boost. The Burnaby-based company, which is conducting research on magnetized target fusion energy, recently secured $27 million from investors. “It’s a pretty exciting moment for the company, it sets us up well for the next few years,” Michael Delage, General Fusion’s vice-president of technology and corporate strategy, told the Burnaby NOW. The lead investor was Khazanah Nasional Berhad, the Government of Malaysia’s strategic investment fund, as well as past investors such as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ company, Bezos Expeditions, according to Delage. The investment will allow the company to work towards designing a fullscale nuclear fusion generator, he said. “We’ve been working on developing our technology, which includes building a lot of our components or sub systems at full scale, and showing that we can make them work, demonstrating some of the core

science underpinning our concept,” he said. “And the outcome of this – and it’s two or three years from now – but it’ll hopefully be at the point where we can design and then build a full-scale prototype machine.” The company’s goal is an ambitious one – to harness the energy of the sun. “What we’re trying to do is replicate the reaction that makes the sun burn,” Delage explained. “Fusion is where you take hydrogen and if you can heat it up to extremely high temperatures it’ll actually react and fuse together to make helium, and in the process it releases a lot of energy. So what we’re trying to do, essentially, is create a little miniature star, but for a very, very short amount of time and a very, very small one.” The company plans to do this by heating hydrogen gas and then compressing it, he said. “And by compressing it down, we’re going to put energy into it and that heats it up even more, and eventually get to the point where it ignites and burns for about 10 millionths of a second.Then, we’re going to do it over again and over again and over again,” he said. “The power plant would be a pulsed machine like that, producing little burst of energy in each

CEO Nathan Gilliland says construction on a large-scale prototype is two years away from commencing. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

pulse and eventually being able to produce electricity.” General Fusion was established in 2002 on Bowen Island and moved to Burnaby in 2008, according to Delage. The company’s research is focussed on producing a generator to create a clean, safe and abundant energy source.

General Fusion came under fire four years ago when a University of British Columbia nuclear theorist came forward to say what the company was doing was potentially quite dangerous and risking people’s lives. But the company’s facilities were inspected and deemed safe by the city. If and when General Fu-

sion is ready to test its generator, with any nuclear reaction involved, it would need the approval from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. However, unlike nuclear reactors, fusion energy does not require uranium and is therefore not prone to the same form of meltdowns as nuclear power plants.

The recent financing brings investments in the company to more than $100 million. General Fusion is still speaking with other interested investors and may have another financing announcement later this summer, according to Delage.

Local company raises nearly $5,000 for Nepal Jn Ja Janaya Fuller-Evans MO MOVERS & SHAKERS

Local schools have been working hard to raise funds to aid victims of the Nepal earthquakes, and recently, a local business decided to help out, as well. Hemlock Printers raised more than $4,800 for the Nepal Earthquake Fund in less than two weeks. The company announced the results of its fundraising efforts on its Facebook page last week. The funds will go to the Canadian Red Cross and

UNICEF Canada, according to the announcement. “The Canadian Red Cross and UNICEF Canada are utilizing their team and emergency relief specialists to assist the people of Nepal in various ways and the funds generated are essential,” the post stated.

Expectations exceeded for Nepal fundraiser Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Retired Burnaby fire captain Eoin White was blown away by donations pouring in for quake victims in Nepal.White, who was originally hoping to raise $35,000 through online donations and a private party at his New Westminster home, was floored by the generosity of his friends and strangers from across B.C. As of Tuesday, he had raised $53,000. “I’m a little overwhelmed by the whole thing. It was a bit surreal,”White told the NOW. “I feel kind of stunned.” White will funnel most of the money through the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society, as he’s hoping to secure matching funds from the federal government.The money will go directly to a network of Nepalese families White works with through his Mount Everest trekking company, Sherpa Encounters.White has taken more than 200 people to base camp at Everest, and many who have

taken the trip with White donated to the cause. The funds will help the families buy tents, food and basic supplies. The 7.8 magnitude quake that struck Nepal in April left more than 8,000 dead, and a second quake, closer to Mount Everest, hit his contacts particularly hard, leaving some families homeless. White’s party in New Westminster on Sunday drew an estimated 250 people, including Burnaby firefighters who recently returned from an aid trip to Nepal following the first quake. White served traditional Nepalese food in his backyard, while attendees brought clothing donations, cheques and cash.White plans to vacuum pack the clothes, which he estimated totalled 1,100 pounds, and take them over to Nepal on his next trip in the fall, when he takes 22 people on a trekking adventure up Everest. Donations are still coming in.To contribute, go to www.fundaid.ca/nepal.

For Nepal: Eoin White far surpassed his fundraising goal of $35,000 on Sunday. The New Westminster resident and retired Burnaby firefighter managed to raise more than $53,000 for Nepalese families struggling after two deadly earthquakes. PHOTO JENNIFER MOREAU

Industrial land hard to come by these days Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Industrial space in Burnaby is becoming harder and harder to find, according to real estate service provider AvisonYoung. Burnaby’s popularity, like much of the region, is making it difficult for those who want to buy industrial properties rather than lease space in them, according to Kyle Blyth, AvisonYoung’s Burnaby industrial specialist. Burnaby’s industrial real estate market is strong, according to Blyth, with less and less space available for building new industrial properties. “The issue is, the majority of the tenants in Burnaby want to stay in Burnaby because it is such a centralized location,” he said, adding, “there’s not a lot of supply in the Burnaby marketplace.” Companies looking to buy rather than lease often find demand outpacing buying opportunities, Blyth explained. “Let’s say there’s a 20,000-square-foot user that’s looking for industrial space in North Burnaby or South Burnaby,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of options.”

There are shortages of space across a range of industrial sectors, including light manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, and logistics, Blyth said. “A few people are looking for heavy industrial,” he said, adding that requires three-to-five acre properties. “And that’s difficult to

The issue is, the majority of tenants in Burnaby want to stay in Burnaby.

find.” Many businesses find they have to lease when the properties just aren’t available to purchase, Blyth said. “There’s a demand for new space, there’s a demand to own and occupy their own facility,” he added. “It’s just a matter of trying to find those one or two buildings that might be available on a purchase basis.” Leasing opportunities are more plentiful, with the average Burnaby industrial rental rate at $9.17 per square foot, because those

who do own and develop available land want to hold onto it, according to Blyth. “It’s tough to replace an asset once you (sell) it,” he said. The buildings that are available tend to be older, he added. “You’re seeing older, more tired buildings that are vacant,” he said. “A lot of users in that 20,000-squarefoot range are looking for a more modern facility, but unfortunately they’re going to have to look elsewhere.” There isn’t much surplus industrial land left in Burnaby, he said. “There are a few larger pockets that are currently owned by developers that are in the early development stages, but demand is quite strong,” he added. Burnaby has 27.64 million square feet of industrial space, according to Avison Young, with a 4.5 per cent vacancy rate. Overall, in Metro Vancouver there is 190.95 million square feet of industrial space, with a four per cent vacancy rate.

RC 350

There’s a fine sense of well-crafted fit and finish. BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com • Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Subtle? No. If the old image of Lexus was a stack of champagne glasses balanced atop the hood of a smoothly humming LS 400, then the new corporate face is a bit of a bull in a china shop. And just take a look at this new twodoored Lexus. Oh. Em. Gee. It’s berserk! Rumour has it a seven-seat crossover would be far more important to sales figures, but Lexus wanted to put out a car that would make a definite style statement. There are two variants available, including the very fast RX-F, infused with enough wasabi underhood to give the German competition a hard time at the track. This one’s the V6 RS 350, the more accessible version, fitted with all-wheel-drive for the Canadian climate, and equipped with a nice stereo. It’s certainly visually searing – but how does it do at core Lexus values?

Design:

At some point, Toyota isn’t going to be happy until they design a car that has a front end entirely composed of black mesh. Here, the corporate spindle grille is emphasized with chrome, and looks a bit like Satan’s hair-dryer … or horndryer, whatever. The rest of the car is similarly a tempest of unexpected curves and swooshes, LEDs war-paint, and brutalized sheetmetal. Taken in all at once, it can be a bit of a cacophony.

However, imagine this car on the crowded streets of Tokyo, and you get a better sense of how the styling is intended to work. It’s almost as though the entire car isn’t meant to be seen at once, but each individual detail unfolded and examined. It is perhaps an acquired taste, but passers-by on the street seemed to quite like it. The RC 350 is more fractal than beautiful, but there’s something about its multifaceted form that appeals.

2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport

a contortion (but if that’s a concern, buy the four-door IS instead). As far as comfort and sensibility goes, the Lexus appears unearthly, but isn’t alien to use.

Performance:

The RC-F is a little heavy, but boasts real performance chops to battle Bimmers and the like. The RC 350 clearly has a different mission statement. When ﬁtted with the all-wheel-drive system and sixspeed transmission, it is most emphatically a cruiser, not a cruise missile.

Environment:

Even in its sportiest setting, the RC is unhappy as a backroad bomber. Steering feel is lacking, and a little overboosted. There’s adequate grip, but you can’t really sense what the tires are doing.

And there are real knobs on the stereo – Shinto saints be praised! The optional Mark Levinson branded stereo this tester was ﬁtted makes music like pouring butter into your ears. It’s an audiophiles dream.

The six-speed automatic shifts well, and the V6 has plenty of punch – it makes a good noise too. But you’ll mostly exercise them in passing moves on the highway more than stirring the engine up for the heck of it. The 3.5L V6 makes 307hp at 5600rpm and 276lb/ft at 4800rpm, but you won’t be visiting those revs often.

If the exterior is wild, the interior is only mildy-so. It’s very comfortable in here, and there’s a fine sense of well-crafted fit and finish.

As for the technophile, not so much. While the RC’s touchpad control is miles better than the old wonky trackball, it still requires a bit of ﬁddling to use. A touchscreen would be better, but then again touchscreens tend to get ﬁnger-printy. This is an okay compromise, but the resolution doesn’t impress, and there are better offerings on the market. Overall ergonomics are quite good, although getting into and out of the rear seats is a bit of

Instead, the RC’s behaviour seems to ﬂy in the face of it’s outrageous, er, face. It’s as quiet as the proverbial tomb at speed, easy going and prone to upshift quickly. The ride is smooth and composed. It wafts. This is a piano concerto played on a Yamaha, not some Japanese form of death metal. So, show but not the go – you’ll have to step up the RC-F for the latter.

Features:

As with many Lexus products, the standard RC 350 contains essentially everything you need. Sporty features like paddle shifters and 19” alloys are standard, as is navigation, selectable driving modes and Bluetooth connectivity. Fuel economy ratings score 12.6L/100kms city and 9.1L/100kms on the highway, premium fuel required. Mixed-use driving scored just over 10L/100kms, quite good for an all-wheel-drive V6-powered coupe.

Green Light:

Shocking design; comfortable ride; good standard equipment

Stop Sign:

Clunky infotainment; not very sporty to drive; styling is very polarizing

The Checkered Flag:

Looks like a Radical Coupe, but is actually a traditional Lexus at heart.

Warm-weather tips for planting vegetables Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Deciding on planting dates for warm weather veggies is trickier than usual this spring due to strangely unpredictable weather – but sowing runner beans once May starts is normally a safe bet because they withstand colder soil than snap beans. Runner seed is usually available for pole beans only.They’re a dual purpose crop.You can run them up a trellis as a decorative screen and enjoy their masses of bright-red flowers.The long, large pods which follow taste good and freeze well. Snap beans can be planted starting mid May. Unlike runner beans, all snap bean pods are stringless. Like all beans, snap bean plants need rich soil and lots of water.The heirloom Kentucky Wonder is usually available as pole bean seed only, but Blue Lake is available in pole or dwarf. Snap beans can also be found with purple or golden pods.The purple ones turn green when cooked. It’s useful to mulch all

vegetables to hold moisture into the soil during our hot summers. But dwarf snap beans definitely need mulch more than most to avoid mud-splashes on the beans. Zucchini seed can be sown from mid-May on. Although planting them on a hill of good rich soil is the ideal situation for the most zucchinis possible, lots of gardeners end up with too many that got too big when they weren’t looking. The crucial points about growing zucchini are: protecting young seedlings from slugs, watering the plants often and checking the crop every day. If (when) you end up with a giant zucchini, pick it anyway and compost it. If you allow it to make seed, your supply of young zucchinis will cease. Squash seedlings are just as attractive to slugs as zucchinis are.The safest protection of all is copper wraps or copper tape or popping bottomless plastic milk cartons or clear plastic juice containers over the baby plants. Squash is grown much like zucchini on hills of good soil or compost heaps.The vining plants can also be grown up very sturdy trel-

lises. An alternative is growing in vegetable gardens guiding the squash runners with wooden pegs to run over beds where vegetables have matured and gone.When the squash plant is removed, garlic or cover crops can go in. Delicata is one of my favourite squashes. It makes masses of small fruit just

big enough for two people and freezes well. But heritage squash is worth trying. It keeps much longer than the newer types and has very rich flavours. It’s not perfect, though. Many are ribbed, have tough skins and are quite heavy. A wonderful crop for people with a cleaver (or a good wood axe) and strong muscles. Tomatoes are an ideal

crop for containers, and production soars if the container is large, at least 40 centimetres across.They need lots of water and good soil laced with compost or tomato food and topped with mulch.They love the warmth of a south or west wall and the shelter of a roof overhang. The indeterminate types can grow huge and so bushy

that tomatoes are hidden and don’t ripen. Head this off at the pass by only letting the first two or three suckers grow. Pinch off the rest. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@ shaw.ca. Include the name of your city or region.

Beware, it’s cougar season Cornelia Naylor

CLASS ACT

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Forest Grove Elementary urged parents to brush up on what to do during risky wildlife interactions this week after a cougar was spotted near the school. The school got an email from a parent who spotted the animal crossing about 30 metres away on the Trans Mountain Trail on Sunday, a short distance from where the trail intersects with Underhill Avenue.

Have kids walk with adults or in groups. In an email to parents Tuesday, the school said the parent did the right thing in reporting the encounter to police and the Wildlife Conservation Office first, before notifying the school. The school urged parents to review safety tips from the conservation office with their children and to have kids walk with adults or in groups. FUN FAIR AT SPERLING ELEMENTARY École Sperling Elementary School is putting the fun in fundraising Friday with a carnival to raise money for laptops, tablets and computer screens for the school’s technology program.

Besides carnival favourites like hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn, the event will feature food from Whitespot and Gaya Sushi. Free games and activities will also be available for youngsters in the toddler area. The fun fair is on from 4 to 8 p.m. at the school, 2200 Sperling Ave. For more information please visit www.sperling funfair.ca.

For sale by owner? Sounds simple – but beware of the pitfalls By Alyssa Dotson, Alyssa Dotson Real Estate Team

he term For Sale by Owner

(FSBO) is quite self-explanatory. It describes the process in which an owner has made the decision to sell their own home. Homeowners usually decide to pursue this route in the hope of saving thousands of dollars in real estate commission. But is this ini"al commission saving actually a saving? There are myths and misconcep"ons about selling your own home. Although it is possible to sell your own home and save on real estate commissions, there can be obstacles associated with this personal undertaking.

Pricing/savings

Can the ini"al a%rac"on of saving on commission mean underselling your home? Absolutely. I’ve seen it happen where the FSBO seller decides to price their home and nego"ate an offer that is less than the amount they could have received by using a Realtor, and that’s a$er commission. Equipped with the Mul"ple Lis"ng Service, a Realtor is able to accurately evaluate the fair market price and nego"ate close to it.

Hidden expenses

Unexpected costs may arise a$er the buyer’s home inspec"on. There may be deXciencies that need to be addressed immediately. These could be very expensive Xxes that the FSBO seller may believe is their en"re responsibility in order to complete the sale. Addi"onal “out of pocket” expenses include marke"ng and higher legal fees. Although the FSBO seller is not paying any commission to a realtor to sell their property, if a Realtor brings a buyer, that Realtor will expect to be paid the buyer’s agent’s commission, or nego"ate a Zat fee arrangement.

Screening and prequalifying poten"al purchasers

In any case, the seller is s"ll responsible for pricing, showings, follow-up, nego"a"ons and dealing with all aspects of the transac"on. The seller also s"ll assumes full legal liability for the sale. So it would s"ll be signiXcantly cheaper than going the tradi"onal commission-based route, but it’s a case of ge!ng what you pay for.

More than 550,000 bungalows/ranchers were built in Canada in the 1960s and 1970s. The average finished floor area was less than 1,200 sq. ft. – just slightly larger than some of the homes at Mill House. Few of those 60s ranchers had master ensuite bathrooms and even fewer had walk-in closets. None of them had secured underground parking or a personal gear garage™. Mill House has all that and more. If you’re thinking about rightsizing, now would be the perfect time. Millhouse has some excellent larger home plans where you can enjoy living in a brand new home. You won’t need to compromise on local amenities either. They’re all within a car-free walk, earning Mill House a Walkscore of 93.

Barbecue Creole Halibut packs a tasty punch Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

Spring is always an indicator of halibut season and this recipe is one of our favourite halibut recipes for the grill. The ground cayenne pepper can be optional if you want to obviously eliminate any spiciness, but the butter can also be optional as well to eliminate any added fat. There will be enough juices in the pouch to keep the fish moist and generate enough steam without the butter, but if desired the pat of butter adds some richness to the dish.The halibut can also be substituted with any white fish. This recipe and over 100 more are available in my cookbook: Chef Dez on CookingVolume 3. Enjoy! CREOLE HALIBUT BBQ POUCHES Makes four portions

4 halibut filets, approx. 200-250g each Salt & pepper 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered 1 stalk celery, sliced thin 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into small short strips 4 garlic cloves, minced 8 thin slices onion 12 fresh thyme sprigs 2 tsp smoked sweet pa-

prika Ground cayenne pepper, optional 1 tsp sugar 4 tbsp cold butter 1 lemon 1. Preheat BBQ grill with high heat. 2. Cut eight pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil – 12 inches x 18 inches. Lay two pieces of foil on top of each other to make four separate double-layer foil bases. 3. Place each filet, skin side down, in the centre of one half of each of the foil bases, and season each filet liberally with salt and pepper. 4.Top each filet evenly with three quartered tomatoes, equal amounts of celery, equal amounts of bell pepper, one minced garlic clove, two thin slices of onion, three sprigs of thyme, 1/2 tsp paprika, pinch of cayenne, 1/4 tsp sugar, and season with more salt and pepper. 5.Top each mound with a 1 tbsp pat of butter. 6. Seal the pouches by folding over the foil in half longwise over the vegetable covered fish. Starting at one end, fold in and crimp the edges of the foil tightly and work around the whole open side of the foil to form a semi-circle pouch. It must be tightly sealed to keep all the steam and juices in the pouch.

7. Place the pouches on the hot BBQ grill and reduce heat to medium low. Be careful not to pierce the pouches. Close the lid and cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes while trying to maintain a cooking temperature of 375 degrees F on your barbecue’s built-in gauge.The pouches should be puffed up like a balloon when done. 8. Remove pouches from the grill and let sit for five

minutes before opening. The internal temperature of the fish should be 140-150 degrees F. 9. Carefully cut open each pouch (steam will be hot), squeeze over a bit of fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately. It is very fun to let your guests open their own pouch themselves and eat right out of the pouch.

Get the grill: Chef Dez says the “holy trinity” of bell pepper, celery and onion give the Halibut its delicious Creole flavour.

Scholarship honours students who overcame adversity Justin Beddall

editorialburnabynow.com

Last month when Mae Burrows was preparing to celebrate her 65th birthday, she received a call asking if she’d be a speaker at the annual Simon Fraser University alumni AGM. Burrows, a recipient of SFU’s outstanding alumni award in 2010 for her years of community service, gladly accepted.

When I started university, I appreciated the ﬁnancial assistance I received.

DON’T WAIT AROUND TO VIEW UPTOWN2 The UPTOWN towers have been a Lower Mainland success story—75% of the homes got snapped UP fast! Big things are happening in this neighbourhood—like the Evergreen Line coming in 2016—so we need to close our sales centre soon. This is your last chance to view UPTOWN2 and take advantage of pre-construction pricing before we pack up.

SFU is also celebrating a milestone birthday this year (it turns 50), and that got Burrows thinking. She wanted to give an annual gift to a deserving student. The theme of the AGM was Courage to Speak Out and the other speaker was Joel Bakan, law professor and author of The Corpo-

ration and Children Under Siege, so Burrows decided to “riff on that” to create an annual award for students. The Courage to Speak Out award recognizes and provides $1,000 each year to an undergraduate student in good academic standing from any faculty who has overcome adversity from poverty, co-occurring addictions and mental health issues, and/or imprisonment. The only other requirement is that students must plan to use their education to advance social justice and equity. “When I started university, I appreciated the financial assistance that I received and now I want to pay it forward to the next person needing support. And I organized this particular award to create a welcoming inclusive space for people who have faced adversity from poverty or mental health and addictions issues,” said Burrows. Students can apply for the Courage to Speak Out Award through SFU’s financial aid office: www.sfu. ca/students/financialaid/ undergrad/awards.html.

Climbing the walls of success

Burnaby North teen places third in age class at nationals, off to junior worlds in Italy Tom Berridge tberridge@burnabynow.com Some people aspire to getting to the bottom of things – Burnaby climber Chloé Earle always wanted to get to the top of them. Earlier this month, 14-year-old Earle belayed her way to third place on the podium at the Canadian national youth climbing championships in lead climbing in Saanich. The bronze-medal placing also earned the Grade 9 Burnaby North Secondary student a firsttime qualification to the International Federation of Sport Climbing World junior championships in Arco, Italy this summer. “I started because I climbed trees, rocks, fences and I wouldn’t stop,” said Earle in an interview with the NOW. “I really enjoy it. I didn’t realize I’d be doing it for the rest of my life. But each day it’s a new thing for me.” Earle’s third placing in the girls’ 14/15 B category age group was just half a point, or one hand hold, out of first place behind the two co-winners in the difficulty competition. Not bad, for a young climber who aspires to turn pro one day and challenge the best in the world on the European circuit. “I definitely want to do this for a living,” she said. “One day, I want to be on the World Cup circuit. I’d like to train in Europe where it’s really big. Going big is likely the reason why Earle has risen to among the top of her age group in a relatively short period of time. She began scaling walls at Climb Base5 in Coquitlam when she was seven but didn’t compete seriously until she was past 10. “I just wanted to do the competitions for fun. I didn’t really realize it was a sport. But I realized I was really good. My competition rankings were among the top scores,” Earle said.

Simon Fraser University’s golf team was stopped in the quarter-final by St. Leo University last week. St. Leo defeated the No. 5 seed Clan men by two points in match play at the NCAA Division II championships in Conover, North Carolina on May 21. Chris Crisologo, who tied for eighth place in the earlier stroke play portion of the competition,

Sport Climbing A style of climbing where form, technique (or gymnastic) ability and strength are more emphasized over exploration, self-reliance and the exhilaration of the inherent dangers involved in the sport. Sport climbing routes tend to be well protected with pre-placed bolt-anchors and lends itself well to competitive climbing. Lead Climbing A form of climbing in which the climber places anchors and attaches the belay rope as they climb (traditional) or clips the belay rope into pre-placed equipment attached to bolts (sports). Bouldering The practice of climbing on large boulders. Typically this is close to the ground, so protection takes the form of crash pads and spotting instead of belay ropes. Speed Climbing Speed of ascent is the ultimate objective of this form of competitive climbing, which is one of the disciplines governed by the International Federation of Sport Climbing.

Earle went to her very first nationals last year in Montreal, where she finished in ninth place after starting at the bottom of the rankings in lead climbing where climbers use ropes and clips to secure themselves to the wall. She also entered the bouldering championships, (climbing without a harness) in Burlington, Ont. Earle came away with a new-

found appreciation for how difficult her chosen sport really is and went to work devising a plan on how to become a better climber. “For me, it’s the ability to get stronger,” she said. “It’s something I want to do – to train five days a week and change my mental game.” Her mom Danielle, who used to coach ballet, helped her eldest

of three daughters with the mental part.The physical element came from plain, old hard work, training three hours a day. Dwelling on the negative when you are holding on to a sheer surface with just your fingertips can lead to one of two things – cutting loose – where a climber loses their Continued on page 40

won SFU’s only match by a whopping 13 strokes following a second-lowest score of the day 68. St.Thomas More Collegiate grads Kevin Vigna and Alan Tolusso just missed helping SFU advance, posting a draw and a onestroke loss, respectively, in match play. Clan captain John Mlikotic also lost his match by a single stroke. Bret Thompson lost by two strokes in his head-to-head match play round despite shooting SFU’s

second-lowest round of the day with a 73. “We had the match in our hands and it slipped away on the last couple of holes,” said Clan coach Jared Boddy, in a school press release. “We are very proud of how the team competed and we made a bit of a splash for SFU on the nationals scene. ” No. 2 seed Nova Southeastern University won the Div. II title, nipping top seed Lynn University 3-2 in the Round 3 final.

Ultimate Knights place top seven at provincials On the wall: Chloé Earle of Burnaby is off to the junior world championships in Italy this summer. PHOTO COURTESY OF KYLE RURAK

A great sport for women Continued from page 39 foothold and, with legs dangling in the air, is literally hanging on for dear life. “Or, I might catch myself, and I’m probably freaking out, and try and relax and get it out of my brain,” she said. “In the moment, I don’t really have an emotion. I just try to get one hold higher. It’s just hard. It takes a lot of energy.” In competitions, climbers are allowed to scope out the routes and watch the competitors before a climb – checking the degree of difficulty and where the best rest areas and handholds are. But in the top 16, climbers are on their own with only a short, six-minute preview

before tackling the wall. Earle’s goal at the worlds is to make it past the qualifiers and into the semifinals. “I’m not sure what to expect,” she said. “I don’t think about it. I just do it because it’s really fun. It pushes my limits and my teammates, they are always older than me and I want to catch up. I always learn something new.” Earle also says it’s a great sport for women and girls. “It’s more challenging and different from sports like soccer. It’s amazing how strong women can be from that,” she said. “It’s amazing.”

St.Thomas More placed sixth overall at the B.C. high school senior Tier 1 ultimate championships in Surrey last weekend. The Knights, led by Jeff Ciachurski, Anthony Buonassisi, Sam But, RachelYuen and Chantal Costa, defeated Point Grey and Sullivan Heights before dropping a close one to recent national champion and eventual high school champion Sutherland. STM also lost to No. 2 seed and B.C. finalist St. George’s/York House in the quarter-finals. The senior Knights rebounded with a win over eighth-place-finishing Stratford Hall before losing fifth place to Argyle. In the senior Tier 2 division, Burnaby

North placed seventh overall. David Thompson, Lord Byng and Eric Hamber B filled in the top-three Tier 2 positions, respectively. In the junior competition, STM had a successful opening day, winning its first three matches. The third-seeded junior Knights then lost 9-8 to David Thompson in a closely played quarter-final. STM also lost to Eric Hamber before settling for seventh place following a win over Stratford Hall in the final placement game. Sutherland defeated a combined St. George’s/York house team in the junior final.

Hoop team ﬁfth at provincials A Burnaby/New Westminster girls’ basketball team placed fifth in the under-14 division at the Basketball B.C. provincial championships. BurWest, including Jaylynne Huynh of Burnaby Central, Natalie Nastase of New Westminster, Brooklyn Monks and Cassia Girolamo of STM, Morgan Chow from Burnaby North, Byrne Creek’s Rhoda Diabikula, Sarah Fejzic of Glenbrook Middle and Burnaby elementary school students Zyre Aspiras, Zahra Shamkhi and Gabreal

Sarnoh, posted a record of 3-1 in the competition. “It was quite an accomplishment especially considering we had six Grade 8s and four Grade 7s on the team,” said coach Stephen Bruyneel. Huynh, who led the team in scoring with 65 total points, including 22 points in an opening 50-34 win over Vancouver West, and Girolamo were both invited to the u-14 provincial team selection camp following the tournament.
