RCMP and other Lower Mainland police detachments are trying to determine if there is a possible connection between reports of shots fired Thursday night in southeast Burnaby and a string of shootings in Surrey last week.

Burnaby Staff Sgt. Major John Buis confirmed Friday police received several 911 calls before 10 p.m. Thursday about multiple shots fired on Sixth Street between 16th and 18th avenues.

Police found numerous shell casings at the scene but no damaged vehicles or victims. As of Monday, that status had not changed nor had a connection between the six shootings in Surrey been made.

Friday morning, investigators were canvassing hospitals to see if anyone had been injured at the time gun shots were heard being fired.

“We are very aware of what’s been going on in the Lower Mainland,” Buis said. “We want to see if there is a connection.”

RCMP is asking anyone with information to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

The Yes and No sides use very different estimates of what the extra 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax will cost the typical family.

The Mayors’ Council pegs the per household cost of the sales tax hike

at an average of $125 per year based on statistics on spending patterns and how much the province now collects in PST from the region.

It says the increase works out to 35 cents a day, and the extra tax would be $3 on a $600 new sofa or $150 on a $30,000 car.

The No side’s Jordan Bateman rejects the $125 figure and estimates a real household cost of $258 a year.

His estimate – from simply dividing the $250 million to be raised each

year by the number of households in the region – assumes every new tax dollar paid by businesses would be downloaded to their customers through higher prices.

That’s flawed, because some of the sales tax paid by Metro Vancouver businesses is on products exported elsewhere to be bought by customers who don’t live in the region.

Some is charged on business-to-business transactions.

POST nab prolific offender

A Burnaby man believed to be a prolific offender in the Lower Mainland has been arrested by Burnaby RCMP following a five-month investigation.

The 23-year-old suspect is alleged to have stolen two cars and committed two thefts from autos in various parts of the Lower Mainland, said RCMP.

The investigation was carried out by the RCMP’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST). The suspect was arrested outside a HighGate Village-area financial institution on March 4.

Police said he was seen allegedly obtaining funds fraudulently. POST linked the fraud to a theft from a vehicle in Whistler less than 12 hours before. RCMP said there was a physical alteration during the arrest and a police officer was injured.

Police seized a firearm, ammunition, and suspected stolen property including mail while executing a subsequent search warrant at the suspect’s residence.

“This was a prolific offender with a high cross-jurisdictional profile and his arrest will have a direct impact on reducing auto-related crimes in Burnaby and other jurisdictions,” said RCMP Insp. Michael Labossiere.

“Information sharing, great team work and an intelligence-led approach to policing resulted in the identification and arrest of one of Burnaby’s prolific offenders.”

Roger Stonehouse has been charged with two counts of theft under $5,000 and two of possession of stolen property. RCMP said more charges may be laid.

The carvers of a totem that was in the eye of the storm of anti-pipeline protests on Burnaby Mountain in November are trying to give their creation a permanent home. And they can think of no better site than Burnaby Mountain.

Larry Myers was one of three carvers, including the totem’s creator Mike Anton, who were escorted every day through the ranks of protesters and police ringing the worksite along Centennial Way where Kinder Morgan contractors were conducting surveying that was protected by a court injunction. As tempers flared and subsided, and more than 120 protesters were arrested, the carvers quietly went about their work, chiseling a 12-foot tall symbol that could watch over the mountain when human guardians were otherwise occupied.

The pole is now completed.When the survey crews, protesters and police

left, the carvers followed shortly afterward. They packed up their tent and tools and moved the project to the warmth and dryness of the garage behind Myers’ North Burnaby home.

Myers said he got involved in the project because he wanted to help make a difference on the mountain. A group of like-minded people

were batting around ideas when someone recalled an art installation that managed to put a halt to a pipeline project in the United States.

The fir log used for the totem was reclaimed from an old log home in Surrey that was being demolished.

Myers said as the project progressed, the carvers did get a visit from officials from the City of Burnaby. But it wasn’t until another former protester from the mountain, Yvon Raul, got involved that an effort to give the totem a permanent place where it was conceived started

to take shape.Raul said he was impressed by

the quality of the pole. And a bit surprised its carving had been seen through to completion months after attention veered from Burnaby Mountain.

“Just like any passion, that kind of energy is hard to sustain,” said Raul. “A lot of people think being an activist is a fun game.”

Raul has launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site gofundme to help raise $1,000 that will go towards transportation and hardware to erect the pole, an engraved plaque to explain its significance, as well as some tools to replace some lost by Anton in a fire.

Myers said getting the pole installed on Burnaby Mountain would be an important symbol for everyone involved in November’s protests, and for First Nations trying to protect the integrity of their ancestral lands.

“It’s important to the people who put their time in to go up there and get arrested,” said Myers of the totem. “It symbolized the cooperation to protect the land.”

Carvers seek home for protector pole

The Ravens helmet awaits its final

placement on a “protector” totem created by a team

of carvers under the direction of Squamish

First Nations artist Mike Anton during the anti-pipeline protests on Burnaby Mountain

in November. After the protests ended, the

carving of the 12-foot totem was completed in Larry Myers’ North Burnaby garage and the carvers are now

hoping to get the pole permanently installed on Burnaby Mountain.

Stewart accomplishes rare feat getting private member’s motion passedWanda [email protected]

Getting final approval in Parliament for his electronic-petitions proposal was a far cry from a year ago.

Then, Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart managed the rare feat of getting his private member’s motion passed in the House of Commons by all of two votes, leading the New Democrat caucus to erupt in cheers.

Last week, when Stewart announced his motion enjoyed unanimous support after being studied by a parliamentary committee, it passed by virtue of no one raising any objection.

It was so low key, in fact, that his NDP MP colleague Andrew Cash (Davenport), who was sitting next to him, asked a half hour later, “Did your thing pass?”

Stewart accomplished last year’s vote by garnering support from all parties, including eight

backbench Conservative MPs. His proposal then went to

a Conservative-dominated committee which could have killed the entire thing but instead approved a modified version.

Stewart believes he succeeded by convincing the committee

he was sincere in his efforts to better engage Canadians in government and it was not simply a partisan, political move.

Currently, paper petitions must have a minimum 25 signatures and be presented to Parliament by an MP. The government then must provide a written response.

After the next federal election, on Oct. 19, an e-petition system will be put in place. A website will be set up where prospective petitioners will fill out a form seeking the endorsement of an MP.

If they receive that support, they’ll then get a website address to circulate in an effort to get people’s electronic “signatures.”

The website will keep track of the number received and when 500 verified signatures are reached, the government will have to issue a formal response within 45 days, which will also be posted to the website for all to see, something that doesn’t happen with the paper version.

What was taken out of his original proposal was the ability to trigger a debate in the House of Commons if a certain high threshold of signatures were reached.

But Stewart thinks the final result will actually accomplish more than his original plan. He noted with the website showing the numbers of signatures, it will be easy to draw media and government attention to hot issues. That will be an improvement over the existing paper petition system which does not keep a record of how many signatures are received, he said.

“What I think this is going to do is actually, in fact [the e-petition system is] going to prompt more action than my original motion called for,” said Kennedy.

TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 13457 cited as “Burnaby Highway Closure Bylaw No. 1, 2015” pursuant to Section 40 of the Community Charter. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to close and remove the dedication of certain portions of highway – closure of a 91.0m² road allowance adjacent 7263 Fourth Street (all that portion of road in District Lot 28, Group 1, New Westminster District, dedicated by Plan 21924 containing 91.0m²) shown outlined on Reference Plan prepared by Albert Wang, B.C.L.S.

It is proposed to place this bylaw before City Council for consideration of Final Adoption at the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 2015 April 27.

The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. V5G 1M2. All submissions must be received by the City Clerk no later than Noon, Wednesday, 2015 April 22.

A movie production company filming in the region, for example, will pay sales tax on what its crews buy, but it doesn’t have direct customers here who it can force to pay more.

Some retailers may even absorb the tax so their customers don’t pay more – car dealers say they may do that to ensure buyers don’t go to Fraser Valley dealers instead.

Businesses pay an estimated 45 per cent of the sales tax collected in Metro Vancouver and visitors pay another five per cent, leaving residents picking up the other half of the direct costs of the new tax.

Robin Lindsey, a transportation and

logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said it’s likely some businesses will pass along the tax hike to residents through higher prices, increasing their indirect cost from the tax.

But he said it’s difficult to say which side’s estimate is the most accurate.

Another issue is how fairly the sales tax hike treats the rich and poor.

The mayors council estimates the poorest 20 per cent of households would pay less than $50 a year from the increase. That’s because a higher share of low-income household spending goes to necessities such as food, children’s clothes and

medicine that are PST exempt.All of the existing PST exemptions would apply

to the Congestion Improvement Tax.But, the No campaign says the poor would

pay a much larger relative share of their income than wealthy households, making it a regressive tax compared to income tax, which low income earners typically do not pay at all.

“It is judged to be mildly regressive,” Lindsey said.

But he said that knock against the tax fails to take into account what the money would fund.

“It will go mainly to public transit, which is disproportionately used by lower income individuals and households,” Lindsey said. “That would be considered progressive.”

Referendum question: Difficult to say which estimate accurate⫸ continued from FRONT PAGE

The City of Burnaby’s dissatisfaction with the National Energy Board’s hearing process into Kinder Morgan’s application to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline through the city has gained a national ally.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) approved a resolution calling for the reinstitution of a full public hearing process into Kinder Morgan’s $5.4 billion proposal that would almost triple the capacity of heavy crude oil being transported from the Alberta tarsands to the company’s Westridge Marine Terminal in North Burnaby.

In July the NEB decided to extend its review process of the application to Jan. 25, 2016 but that process would no longer include open meetings, oral hearings and cross examinations.

FCM’s resolution says that presents “a significant erosion of the democratic rights of provinces, territories, local governments, First Nations and citizens to cross-examine evidence presented, articulate concerns and voice opposition to applicants.”

It implores the public review process to be restored. “It demonstrates that cities across the country share the tremendous concern that has been expressed in Burnaby and British Columbia about negative implications of the National Energy Board’s arbitrary removal of a fair hearing process,” said Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan.

VICTORIA – March has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.

Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government.

This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking.

The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze.

Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits.

But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just

making sure the figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey.

The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18.

Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead.

Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member.

It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.”

Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”

“A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.”

Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive

when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets.

Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard.

Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings.

Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

Auditor leak has Liberals bailing

Metro voters are being told that if they don’t vote ‘yes’ on the transit referendum that not only will they not get transit improvements for a decade or so, but added congestion will, in time, stifle major corridors, costing them billions of dollars and putting their lives at risk.

Mayors, businesses owners, police chiefs, even doctors are all offering warnings: costs of goods and services will increase, jobs will go elsewhere, police cars and ambulances will be stuck in traffic.

Every day the Yes side proposes another end-of-the-world scenario in an effort to discredit the No side’s notion that TransLink spending is out of control and that salaries are too high.

It even brought in billionaire Jimmy Pattison to save the day. He wouldn’t have any interest in placing billboards along new transit lines. And he can’t fix the rudderless organization that TransLink has become.

Nor can the No side, which isn’t to blame for SkyTrain failures, or that of the Compass Card.

The No side didn’t fire TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis, then decide to keep paying him while hiring an interim replacement.

And the No side isn’t responsible for the unfair and inconsistent tolling policy in the Metro region.

The No side isn’t even suggesting that the transportation improvements aren’t needed, just that TransLink become a more accountable organization first.

And even Jarvis, before he was fired, suggested a more equitable way to fund transportation improvements is needed.

The Yes side is lacking support, by a wide margin, according to recent polls, so it is enacting an aggressive campaign of fear tactics to change the minds of voters as referendum ballots are being mailed out. It’s a political war that doesn’t benefit Metro residents.

The Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) warns municipalities about “wealthy retirees” and their free ride on the public purse (NewsLeader, March 11).

The IRPP must know the same seniors The Fraser Institute knows, that other conservative bastion for identifying freeloaders.

Because the IRPP certainly didn’t gather any actual statistics on any actual average retired seniors’ income in our Burnaby municipality before they made their recommendation.

Surely they would have discovered the vast majority of retired seniors, even if they actually own property, are not exactly laughing all the way to the bank on their Canada Pension Plan monthly stipend.

And while they’re surveying seniors, can the IRPP also provide readers a list of seniors who are wealthy and actually take the bus? It would be a short list and therefore should be doable.

Even if we overlook the prejudices of such policy makers against society’s more vulnerable citizens, we can only conclude that the IRPP prefers policy based on supposition, not fact.

GREGOR’S ‘ROLLS ROYCE’ TRANSIT SYSTEM TOO MUCH

Despite the huge amount of criticism over TransLink’s lack of planning and budgetary constraints, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson continues to promote a mega-million dollar Broadway subway route.

Informed critics have declared this proposal will be greatly under-utilized on weekends when the main passengers – UBC students – will be considerably absent.

While Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has opted for the efficient light rail transit system, being considerably less expensive than a subway system, Mayor Robertson expects taxpayers to fund his “Rolls Royce” system.

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE IN INSULT

Premier Clark’s newfound interest in increasing the minimum wage is an insult to the people who need a wage increase now. This September, the minimum wage will go up a whole 20 cents per hour, or about $8 a week for a person who works 40 hours. What the Premier thinks this will accomplish, beyond giving her

yet another photo op, is beyond me. It certainly won’t balance the finances of families living from paycheque to paycheque.

Study after study has shown increasing the minimum wage to $15/hour will not harm small businesses. Seattle has done it, and the only group that has had any problem adjusting to the increased wage structure has been mega-corporations like McDonald’s, who have made it clear they care only about their own profits.

It’s time to fight for a $15/hour minimum wage. There are already groups fighting to ensure that we can pay everyone above the poverty line, that we can make living in British Columbia affordable for everyone. Let the provincial government know that this is a priority to ensure everyone has the means of living a stable life out of poverty.

THE GREAT B.C. GIVEAWAY

In their desperate attempts to get large multi-nationals to develop B.C.’s natural gas, the B.C. Liberals and their philosophical cousins, the federal Conservatives, are hell-bent on giving it away. First the B.C. Liberals slashed the tax on natural gas from seven per cent to 1.5 per cent until after capital costs are recovered, when it will rise to 3.5 per cent. This move was opposed by Green MLA Andrew Weaver and, until the vote, the BC NDP. When it came to the vote, the BC NDP were in favour of the reduction.

Then the B.C. Liberals set a giveaway price on our water. $2.25 per million litres is more of an irritant to the likes of Nestlé than any kind of real cost and that is even more the case for those who want to use the water for fracking.

And now the federal Conservatives have stepped in to do their part, by making sure the natural gas exploiters will benefit from federal tax

subsidies. Yes, we need

jobs in B.C. Yes, we need to develop energy and industry in the province. But

the undeveloped, unsubsidized green energy sector – geothermal, solar, wind, and tidal power – remains almost wholly unexplored. We would be further ahead if we put our forestry sector back in business cutting beetle-killed wood and burning it (it’s above- ground carbon, not fossil fuel) while reforesting for the future. The problem? Well, one can’t give away and export green energy to foreign markets with the same ease as fossil fuels. One has to use that energy at home, to create jobs in a diversified economy. Wait a minute, that sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? Why are our politicians – with the exception of the Green Party – not thinking this way?

MERCY PLEA FOR TAXPAYERS

Our family moved to Cumberland Street in 2006. That year I paid Burnaby $325.82 for garbage collection. This year I paid $619.66 for the same service. That is an increase of 190 per cent. Our income did not go that high. Have a cap on civil servants’ wages and benefits. They already have hefty salaries.

Have mercy on taxpayers.Abdul Jeraj

Chris Ciaverelli formed his first impressions of Burnaby at the Mountain Shadow Pub. Now he’s hoping to make it a lasting impression.

The South Burnaby resident was a frequent visitor to the venerable North Burnaby watering hole when he was growing up in Kamloops and his buddies left to attend school at Simon Fraser University. Inevitably road trips down the Coquihalla ended around pitchers of beer in one of the Shadow’s unique private alcoves.

“It was sort of a tradition for SFU students,” said Ciaverelli. “My whole impression of the character of the neighbourhood was formed at the Mountain Shadow.”

He hasn’t been to the pub very often since moving to Burnaby himself, but when Ciaverelli heard about it’s imminent closure, he didn’t want to lose those memories. And, he suspected, others were feeling the same way.

So last week Ciaverelli started a Facebook page to mobilize support to save the Mountain Shadow. On Friday he launched an online petition.

He recognizes the odds are long he’ll succeed. The pub’s fixtures and much of its memorabilia are already scheduled to be auctioned off on April 1, four days after its scheduled closure.

But Ciaverelli’s hopeful residents will rally behind the pub’s unique structure and role in the North Burnaby community to at least save the

soaring chalet-style building that was constructed of 33,000 reclaimed bricks and wood beams.

“I see it as tied into the fabric of the community,” said Ciaverelli of the building, which was opened by Ken Russell and Lloyd “Dutch” Dedemus as the city’s first neighbourhood pub in 1980. “I guess the building is kind of cool. It’s not heritage, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important.”

Ciaverelli hopes city council will pause before passing final approval to rezone the site where the pub stands for residential redevelopment. He said the building could be acquired by the city to be converted to public space like

a community centre or museum. Or it could be leased to another operator to be run as an upscale tap house or restaurant, much like the Hart House in Deer Lake Park. Or the building could be moved to a different location altogether.

“If it’s bulldozed just to see more condos built, it will be a lot less interesting neighbourhood,” said Ciaverelli, who’s hoping to make a presentation to council in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime, he’s gauging the public desire to save the building. And planning one last visit to the stomping ground of his student days.

“It has a history,” said Ciaverelli of the pub. “I think it’s sad to see it go.”

To join Ciaverelli’s effort, go to www.facebook.com/savetheshadow. There is a link there to the online petition.

Last ditch effort to save Mountain Shadow Pub

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEBurnaby resident Chris Ciaverelli has started an online petition in hopes of saving the unique architecture of the Mountain Shadow Pub. The pub is closing March 28 and its property will be redeveloped into townhouses.

Chris Ciaverelli, Mountain Shadow patron If it’s bulldozed just to see more condos built, it will be a lot less interesting neighbourhood ... It has a history. I think it’s sad to see it go.

RENOV TE

Every home project begins with an idea and ends with the culmination of the job. In between, there are three main components of an improvement project that can mean the difference between success and frustration: Planning, permits and protection.

PlanningThe initial stage of a renovation

is the planning stage. Planning is when a homeowner works through the concept of the project and determines what is necessary to complete the task.

Many people find it helpful to write out plans and draw up the

concept on paper. This doesn’t require expensive architectural software. A simple piece of graph paper plotted with measurements and a sketch is often sufficient for small projects. If the job will be expansive and require an architect or engineer, he or she will often provide a technical drawing.

If the project focuses more on decorating than building, some find it helpful to create a design board. This is where fabric swatches, paint color samples, pictures of furniture and accessories, and any other components of the room are put together. Having a design board enables the homeowner to go to

the store with board in tow and match up items to things in the store.

Another part of the planning stage is establishing a budget and determining the project’s financing. It can be helpful to make a list of all income and expenses and find out how much funding is left over for a project. When getting estimates on the work, whether it will be done by a contractor or a DIY project, the homeowner should then make a list of approximate costs (rounding up) and then compare it against the available funds.

PermitsMany projects, especially those

involving building, demolition, electrical work, or mold remediation, require permits issued by the town, province or city in which the work will be taking place.

The purpose of permits and subsequent inspections is often questioned by homeowners looking to circumvent the system. However, building permits are required to ensure public safety, health and welfare as they are affected by building construction, structural strength, zoning, and code requirements. In essence, building permits are how the government regulates safety and protects both current and future residents of the property.

In many cases, homeowners will need to visit the municipal building in their respective towns and apply for a permit. The permit may not immediately be issued. Often, there is a waiting period during which the project’s legality and safety is examined. Once the project is approved, the applicant will be able to file for the actual permit(s). There is usually a fee or fees for permit application, which covers any clerical work.

Work should not begin until a permit is received, and then the permit generally has to be placed in plain sight, such as in a window of the building.

RENOV TE

Depending on building codes, inspections of the work may need to take place after all of the project is completed or during certain phases. For example, the building of a deck may require inspections after footings are installed and secured, and before the upper portions of the decking materials are attached.

If an inspection takes place afterward, the inspector will be looking for key code issues to determine whether the work was completed successfully. If a contractor was used, he or she may have to be present at the time of the inspection. If the work passes, an approval will be given and put on record. If the work fails, applicable repairs will have to be made and a re-inspection will be scheduled.

Should a home be put on the market, all permits may need to be on file or in the homeowners’ possession in order for a certificate of occupancy to be issued to the new buyer. Failure to have permits can hold up the process or result in fines.

ProtectionHomeowners about to begin a project also need to

emphasize safety. There are a number of things that can be on hand to make a work environment safer. These include:

• Eye protection: This is especially important when working with flying debris, cutting items, mixing caustic chemicals, etc.

• Respirator or face mask: Cover the nose or mouth when there is dust or debris in the air that can enter the lungs. When working with toxic fumes, such as when using spray paints or chemical lubricants, a respirator can offer clean air.

• Boots: Proper footwear ensures protection should an item fall on the foot or when walking where nails or other sharp items are located.

• Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher should be nearby in the event of a mishap.

• First aid kit: An abrasion or cut may occur, requiring prompt care.

• Gloves: When the hands need to be protected or extra traction on surfaces is required, gloves can be a necessity.

• Headphones: Safety headphones can protect the ears against loud, consistent noises from power equipment and tools.

• Locks: A locked cabinet can store tools, paints, chemicals, and other improvement supplies so that young children or pets won’t have access.

When homeowners take the time to plan, obtain permits, and secure the needed protection for a job, they help ensure a safer job that is done correctly.

It must have been deja vu all over again, to quote a well-known sports philosopher, for the Burnaby South Rebels.

As they did at the 2014 AAAA B.C. senior boys high school basketball championship, the Rebels finished fifth in the 2015 version. And as they did in 2014, they were ousted in a quarter-final game on Thursday.

South downed the Oak Bay Bays 79-75 at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday to claim fifth place for the second consecutive year. Guard Jermaine Haley scored 24 of his 31 points in the second half. Haley was named to the tournament’s second all-star team.

On Friday, the Rebels defeated White Rock’s Semiahmoo Totems 96-88 with Haley notching 36 points and guard Tyus Batiste netting 24 and E.J. Mabone 22. The trio accounted for 80 of South’s 96 points.

They were ousted 96-72 in the quarter-finals by the Kelowna Owls. The Okanagan school accomplished the victory by keeping the six-foot-seven Haley in check. Haley scored just nine points, although he did have 12 rebounds and eight assists. Batiste did pump in 22 points and had nine rebounds. Nic Trninic had 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The Rebels opened the tournament by downing Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators 83-76 Wednesday evening.

Haley, despite sitting much of the late stretch with four fouls, scored 33 points, had 11 rebounds and had six assists. Batiste scored 23 points and collected five assists and five

steals. E.J. Mabone also had 14 points.

Abbotsford’s Yale Lions captured the provincial title by downing Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens 69-63 in the final. Kelowna finished third.

STM eighthIn the AAA tournament,

Burnaby’s St. Thomas More Knights came in eighth. They had their hopes of repeating as champions dashed in an 83-73 loss in overtime to Surrey’s Fleetwood Park Dragons in quarter-final play Thursday.

Cam Morris had 21 points and Terrell Jana had 19 to lead STM.

They then went on to lose 86-77 to the Abbotsford Panthers on Friday and 65-56 to the Nanaimo District Islanders on Saturday. Jana scored 15 and J.J. DesLauriers had 13 against Nanaimo.

The Knights began the tournament by edging Nanaimo’s Wellington Wildcats 52-50 Wednesday. DesLauriers led STM with 14 points while Edward Ju scored 12.

“So I actually think ministers will be forced to respond in a way … if enough Canadians want something done.”

It will take a bit of time to raise awareness of the new system and what’s possible, but he sees paper petitions continuing to be used for neighbourhood issues and e-petitions being circulated for Canada-wide concerns.

Stewart believes it could also help get more young people interested in politics as they are the most tech-savvy of constituents and likely to use electronic petitions as an organizing tool to send strong messages to the government.

“It’s always been my goal to get more people engaged in politics and I think this is going to be one small way of doing it.”

The final vote had a real Burnaby connection, he added. Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian as House Leader helped organize the vote last year. And one of Stewart’s predecessors, former Burnaby MP Svend Robinson was visiting Parliament when it received final approval last week, and gave his congratulations to Stewart in person.

“It came full circle in some ways,” Stewart said.

Two-to-one No lead in referendum: PollJeff NagelBlack Press

The No campaign has more than twice as much support as the Yes side in Metro Vancouver’s transit referendum as ballots begin to be mailed out, according to a new poll.

The Angus Reid Institute online survey found 61 per cent of voters in the region are definitely or probably voting No to the proposed 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax, compared to 27 per cent who said they will likely

vote Yes. Twelve per cent were unsure.

The result shows even fewer Yes voters than successive Insights West polls, the latest of which gave the Yes side 33 per cent to 55 per cent No.

More than 1.5 million ballots are going out in the mail starting today and are expected to all arrive at homes by the end of the month.

Angus Reid pollsters said No sentiment appears widespread, but is strongest in Surrey, Richmond/

Delta and the North Shore, and among voters over 35 years old.

The race is closer among Vancouver residents, younger people, those with a university education and frequent transit riders, although even they are split.

Although voters have 11 weeks to mail their marked ballots back to Elections BC by a May 29 deadline, the Yes campaign may not have as much opportunity to persuade No-leaning voters as that would suggest.

The polling firm said half of eligible voters intend to mail in their ballot “as soon as they get it.”

Distrust of TransLink and a belief too much new money would be wasted from the 0.5 per cent sales tax increase continue to drive the No vote.

The poll found the Yes side’s most persuasive argument is that population growth will require transportation improvements, followed by the current congested state of roads and public transit.

Why should Burnaby and New West vote yes?

Look for your ballot in the mail and vote YES. Check out the Plan at mayorscouncil.ca

Together, these projects and many more meet the demands of an expected population growth

of 1 million in the next 30 years, which would otherwise put unimaginable strain on an already

overcrowded transportation network.

Voting YES in the upcoming Transit and Transportation Referendum will reduce the costs of

congestion by 33% and improve the quality of life for everyone – all for less than 35 cents a day

per household. Vote YES for a faster commute, a stronger economy and a better environment.

More skytrain serviceWith 200 more SkyTrain cars, you’ll have a less

crowded and more comfortable commute.

new B-Line rapid Bus serviceNew B-Line rapid bus routes will provide fast, frequent,

limited-stop service from Metrotown to Richmond, Metrotown

to the North Shore, and SFU to Downtown Vancouver all day long.

services move more freely, efficiently and safely,
