Huseyin Sulayman’s dream was to be-come an artist. But

instead of drawing with charcoal pencils or painting with brushes of horsehair, he sculpts and shapes with clippers and scissors.

When he was a boy grow-ing up in Iraq, Huseyin’s father decided it was time for him to “learn how to do something.” He brought him to a barber shop owned by a family friend, who put him to work sweeping the fl oor and keeping the place tidy. Huseyin was six years old.

By the time he was 10, Huseyin had his own little barber chair, tucked dis-creetly behind the shop’s door, where he’d give haircuts to other boys. The proprietor would then fi x his mistakes.

Eventually Huseyin stud-ied business administration at university, spent a year in the military, and then immi-grated to Turkey. Unable to fi nd work in his new coun-try, he fell back on what he knew best, cutting hair.

Eight years later he packed up his scissors and manual clippers and moved to Canada, settling in North Burnaby.

One day, he happened upon a man puttering around Alfredo’s Barber Shop on Hastings Street. The shop had been closed for 25 days. Alfredo had died.

The man was his son, wrap-ping up his father’s affairs.

With his wife translating, Huseyin negotiated to buy the shop.

“I don’t have the language, but I have the skill,” he assured Alfredo’s son.

Huseyin retained the shop’s name. His wife painted diagrams of vari-ous haircuts onto mirrors mounted on the wall oppo-site the shop’s two chrome and black leather chairs; customers could then just point to the type of haircut they wanted.

After 16 years of giving haircuts, telling stories and sharing jokes with his cus-tomers, Huseyin’s English is much better. He takes pride in his craft and how far he’s come with it. He keeps a tidy shop, sweeping fallen hair from the fl oor between cus-tomers, neatly refolding the paper collars he puts around their necks so hairs don’t slip beneath shirt collars. He smiles readily.

“Barbering is different, we have to be friendly,” he says. “My customers know me as family.”

In fact, two of them are Alfredo’s grandsons.

But best of all, he says he feels like he’s fulfi lling his artistic dreams.

“My dream was to draw pictures,” he says. “When I cut hair, I feel like am draw-ing a picture.”

BUBLÉ RANKS FIFTH IN EARNINGSIf anyone ever doubted that Burnaby boy Michael Bublé has attained big-time star status, the proof is in.Forbes list of the world’s 25 highest paid musicians has pegged the crooner at No. 5, with earnings (pre-tax and before subtracting agent and manager’s fees) at $70 million, between May 2010 and May 2011.The magazine credited a lucrative concert tour, heavy radio airplay and strong album sales for Bublé’s income fi gures.He was just ahead (by $3 million) of Paul McCartney and trailed behind Lady Gaga ($90 million) in fourth place. The top three in order were U2 ($195 million), Bon Jovi ($125 million) and Elton John ($100 million).

Teachers make Game 7 mayhem a teachable moment, school creates video tribute to Canucks

By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

Frightening images of violence during the Game 7 riot last week in downtown Vancouver angered and horri-fi ed many.

At Westridge elementary in North Burnaby, it was a teach-able moment.

“It presented a real oppor-tunity to talk about the ways people can react to situations and how we as a community support each other and also our teams,” said Bryan Tesan, a Grade 5/6 teacher at the school.

The day after Game 7 many students expressed concern about what they’d seen on news coverage of the riot. Tesan’s class discussed what they saw and how it relates to sportsmanship and how people react to disappointment at their school.

What they saw on TV “was a not so good example of adults maybe not being the right example for the rest of us.”

Out of the many discussions came the idea that a team needs support even when they lose so the school held a Canucks “spirit day” on Friday. Students wore team colours and shot a video of kids mak-ing statements on what “real Canucks fans” do and singing an original song composed by a staff member.

“It was really a day about the celebrations of the achieve-ments of the year and it turned

what for myself and a lot of us was a quite a depressing day yesterday to quite an inspiring one today,” Tesan said Friday.

Westridge music teacher Janet Pritchard said many of the kids arrived at school the day after Game 7 in shock.

“For some of us adults it was déjà vu all over again, we remembered 1994. But for our kids, this was brand new and really shook their world, I think, that this sort of thing could happen where we are.

“They arrived really sad, of course, at the outcome of the game, but also shaken and try-ing to make sense of how adults could behave like that.”

Pritchard said she discussed with students how real hockey fans act and how the Canucks must be feeling to not only lose but to have the riot happen.

They came up with the idea of the video and posters and messages to the team.

“The plan is we will send them to make [the Canucks] feel better. And the kids could totally connect to that,” Prit-chard said.

In their posters and the video, Westridge students fi nished the sentence “Real Canucks fans...” with every-thing from “look after the city” and “they don’t hurt other people,” to “they cheer their team on whether they win or lose.”

“It was a very upbeat day today, which we all needed.”

Grade 6 student Katrin Maliatski, 11, said she became a bigger Canucks fan through the spirit day and now understands the signifi cance of the team’s accomplishment and of the damage rioters did to the city.

Grade 6 student Lauren

Parker, 12, was blunt in her assessment of what happened.

“People needed to learn it’s just a game and a game is a game and there are always other years to try and win the cup. And what [rioters] did, drunk or not, was unaccept-able.

“I think they should either be fi ned for what they did or they should be put in jail for a while and they should have a talking to because what they did, it was unacceptable, and they ruined our city and they gave our city a bad image and I’m very grate-ful to the people who cleaned up our city the next day.”

Grade 5 student Andy Cheng, 11, summed up the rioters’ actions this way: “It was really kind of a stupid thing to do.”

Not enough interest shown in proposed Burnaby school district program

By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

A proposed ele-mentary-level Punjabi language program has been shelved by Burnaby school district after it didn’t garner enough interest to go ahead.

The program was to be introduced as a pilot project at Second Street school in grades 5 to 7 as an alterna-tive option to core French. The 2011-2012 school district budget even included $45,500 to start up and staff the program, that would involve studying the language and cul-ture for a part of each school day.

“It really came down to the numbers,” said Burnaby school board chair Larry Hayes of the decision, express-ing surprise at the lack of interest.

Hayes noted that the board only considered it after members of

the South Asian com-munity approached school trustee Baljinder Narang say-ing they wanted it.

Narang said she supported efforts to start the program as the board is com-mitted to providing language education opportunities, and was also surprised at the response.

“I was disappointed because I felt when the initiative came from the community I felt there was a strong wish within the community to do it,” Narang said.

“Clearly the interest was there but not suf-fi cient.”

While they could justify smaller num-bers for the fi rst year, taking into account that new programs can tend to draw fewer people, the interest wasn’t there to justify continuing it for subse-quent years especially in the penny-pinching climate of current school district bud-gets, she said.

Narang said it’s pos-sible that the proposed program wasn’t what the advocates had been seeking, noting

she received some comments suggesting it wasn’t suffi cient for their needs.

“We felt we were responding to what the community was asking for but maybe what the community was asking and what we were offering, there was a disconnect, I don’t know.”

The proposed Burnaby program was not immersion but was patterned after suc-cessful ones operating in New Westminster and some schools in Surrey. It was hoped that it would feed

students to the grow-ing Punjabi language program at Burnaby South secondary, she said.

“The program as it is in the current format won’t be going forward but who knows, down the road there may be some different initiative that would come up that would work for the community.”

With only months to go before the next civic election, it will be up to the next elected school board to consider the concept again in future, she said.

Local Stanley Cup rioters chargedTwo more Burnaby men have been identifi ed

as being involved in the Stanley Cup riot last weekend.

Edgar Ricardo Garcia, 20, of Burnaby has been charged with aggravated assault in connection with an incident where two men were stabbed in the 700-block of Hornby Street, say the Vancou-ver Police Department.

A 22-year-old Burnaby man with no previ-ous criminal convictions also faces charges of assaulting a peace offi cer, break and enter, mischief and participation in a riot related to an incident at Library Square where he allegedly threw a water bottle at police, broke a window and then entered a building.

Burnaby RCMP have also arrested a 17-year-old boy for his part in the Stanley Cup riot after he turned himself into police last week.

The teen, who can’t be identifi ed due to his age, was brought to the Burnaby RCMP detach-ment by a family member after photos showing him looting during the Game 7 riot appeared on the Internet.

Police are recommending charges related to the looting of the Louis Vuitton store at the corner of Howe and Georgia streets, and the destruction of a Vancouver Police Department vehicle which was fl ipped upside down.

He is scheduled to appear in court in August to face charges of break enter and theft, and mischief to property over $5,000.

Burnaby Mounties commended the teen for taking responsibility for his actions and encour-age others to do the same.

Anyone with information on those involved in the riot is asked to call the Vancouver City Police Department at 604-717-3321 or Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922. As of Monday, 12 people had turned themselves in to the VPD and three others to police in outside jurisdictions. So far, 117 people have been arrested, most on the night of the riot, June 15. Vancouver police have received about 3,500 emails, including tips, from the public at [email protected].

Offi cially, the Vancouver police say they had last Wednesday’s Stanley Cup under control by 11:45 p.m. But the thuggery that smashed and burned its way through the city’s downtown continues; it’s moved online.

There’s no doubt the Internet played a role in the mayhem. There have been reports of Twitter postings and text messages being exchanged early Wednesday afternoon, long before the puck dropped to begin Game 7 of the Stanley Cup fi nal, that trouble was brew-ing. And when it did get started, it seemed everyone wanted to capture a moment to post to their blog or Facebook page; young people posed and smiled in front of burning cars and smashed storefronts for their friends holding cellphone cameras aloft.

In the hours and days after order was restored, the fallout from the riot moved into the virtual world.

Some of it has been good; volunteers were organized via social media for a morning-after clean up, individual acts of heroism were highlighted and lauded, an interna-tional sensation was created when a photo of a young couple exchanging a kiss amidst the mayhem went viral.

But much has been as hateful as the riot itself. The very same mob mentality that rampaged through Vancouver’s streets has now infected its online afterlife. Some people who’ve had their photos posted on websites seeking to identify the riot’s troublemakers have been harassed, their families threat-ened.

There’s no doubt the people who partici-pated in the violence and mayhem should be held accountable. Many of them are now learning valuable lessons about the conse-quences of their behaviour that night and the fragility of online anonymity. But virtual vigilantism only perpetuates the ugliness that fueled the riot, and further blackens the city’s already charred reputation.

Leave it to police and legal authorities to investigate what happened that night and prosecute who was responsible.

VICTORIA – Let’s assume that when everyone in B.C. gets to be fi nance minister for a day, a majority choose to throw a $3-billion chair through the offi ce window to show how mad they are about the harmonized sales tax.

The cleanup will take two years, but fi rst there will be a provincial election to decide who holds the broom and dustpan. And the choices are becoming clear.

You have a new B.C. Liberal leader who has tacked to the centre on the minimum wage and business taxes in an effort to seek forgiveness for the high-handed administration that lost the public’s trust.

And you have two opposition parties that are entirely reactionary in their approach to today’s fast-changing world.

There isn’t much to say at this point about the B.C. Conservatives under John Cummins. They are against modern treaty settlements, the carbon tax and (I think) the HST. They stand for lower taxes, but so far that doesn’t include a reduced sales tax rate.

The rest of their platform is platitudes, with enough of a whiff of protest to pave a path for an NDP government.

And the NDP manages to make the B.C. Conser-vatives look modern.

In January I described how the B.C. NDP consti-tution still formally endorses the government tak-ing over major industries, and explicitly rejects all for-profi t activity. I won’t re-quote the convoluted Marxist language, which boils down to ‘state good, competition bad.’

A reader provides a real-time example of how this principle would apply to a problem confronting the B.C. government. To prevent another riot in Vancouver, the government should supervise an orderly redistribution of Stanley Cups.

This core principle of socialism, an 80-year-old relic, was debated at the national party’s convention in Vancou-ver on the weekend. Socialist dead-enders rallied to keep it alive, rejecting vague new wording that favours “social democratic principles” to ensure “eco-nomic and social equality.”

This isn’t just an academic discus-sion for party conventions. One of the last acts of the NDP opposition in the B.C. legislature this spring was to propose a legislated end to poverty.

According to their bill, B.C. should create a Ministry of Poverty Reduction with annual goals for imposing the redistribution of wealth.

The “Poverty Reduction Act” contains a weasel-worded defi nition of poverty: insuffi cient money to “acquire and maintain economic self-reliance”

and “facilitate integration into and participation in society.”

Does this mean a guaranteed annual income? Can people achieve “economic self-reliance” by collecting welfare? Does anyone actually believe this stuff? If you believe unionized state monopo-lies are the best business model, I guess so.

I won’t elaborate on the fringe parties such as Chris Delaney’s B.C. First, a splinter from the B.C. Conservative stump.

The Green Party is the only one other than the B.C. Liberals that looks to the future. Perhaps too far in the future. The Greens want a dramatically increased carbon tax and a transition to a “steady state” economy that doesn’t try to produce and consume more. Try eliminating poverty with that program.

I frequently get letters from people who accuse me of parroting the government’s line on issues such as the HST and poverty. If there are political alternatives out there that make actual sense in today’s world, I’d love to hear about them. Until then, these are the choices.

Any day now, NDP leader Adrian Dix might start to unveil the positive alternative he has promised for an election that may come this fall. That will be something to examine closely.

Right now, he’s urging you to throw that chair.■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and col-

umnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Thank you Canucks for an amazing year and a fantastic run for the Stanley Cup.

The only ones who let us down were the badly behaved fans after Game 7.

They should be ashamed.

Pathetic. Boo, hiss. Nice going, Vancouver fans.

How disrespectful of our Canucks, who should have been fi rst on the news, not you, win or lose.

Next year! Go Canucks Go! Good luck, Mason Raymond.

Canada Post worth keepingRe: Maybe Canada Post needs a change (Letters, NewsLeader, June 10)

In the writer’s opin-ion the postal strike is pure nonsense and the entire corporation (management and employees) are noth-ing more than contes-tants in greed.

I agree the CEOs make extraordinary salaries and benefi ts alike. For employees making $23 per hour, though, I agree that many people would love to be earning the same, about $48,000 a year. But considering today’s cost of living, it’s not far from the poverty line.

Having said that, strikes are not always about wages alone. There are issues like seniority, advance-ment, conditions of work, amount of hours of work per week, etc.

So let’s show a little more compassion.

The writer also sug-gests that maybe it’s time that our mail ser-vice be privatized. Our mail system may not be the best or cheapest system around, but privatize it?

We better not sell the bearskin before we kill the bear.

Fight HST skews the facts

As I was reading the article “Status Quo, or scrap the HST?” (NewsLeader, June 8), I came across a couple of quotes and para-phrases from fi ghthst.com, and felt that I should share a word of caution about this website.

I was recently shown a YouTube video produced by

a UBC student that raises some very important questions about the reliability of the information in Fight HST’s study.

The video is called “FightFightHST - A Letter to Bill Vander Zalm” and can be found on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZX-u3LXNwEg. This video highlights a disconcerting amount of misrepresentation in the report.

HST is good for my business

The HST is helping my Burnaby produc-tion supply company stay in business and continue employing a dozen people. Whether a movie or commercial shoot is looking for makeup, camera sup-plies, a smoke machine or fake snow, we can help them.

When the HST came into effect we expe-rienced a substantial increase in business as fi lmmakers are choos-ing to work in B.C. If the HST were to be replaced by the 12 per cent PST-GST, I would estimate that 20 per cent of my business would disappear.

I’m voting No to keep the HST and to keep B.C.’s fi lm and TV industry strong.

Need for pesticide ban is obvious

Re: A little less toxic B.C. (Editorial calling for B.C. wide ban on cosmetic pesticides, NewsLeader, May 25)

According to the World Health Orga-nization, more than 200,000 people around the globe die from pes-ticide poisoning every year. The pesticide industry has grown in leaps and bounds since the Second World War.

Today, it produces more than 2.2 million tonnes of deadly chemicals per year for world-wide use. Synthetic pesticides are linked to a host of illnesses, from cancers and neurological dis-eases to birth defects.

Those (with vested interests) will always argue that we do not yet have suffi cient proof of a relationship between environ-mental contaminants

and cancer and other diseases.

However, the weight of the professional associations listed in the following para-graph would argue otherwise.

Before Ontario brought into legisla-tion the banning of cosmetic use of pesti-cides and herbicides, it was supported by: The Ontario College of Family Physicians; the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario; the Canadian Cancer Society; 11 of Ottawa’s community health centres, the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario; and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE). CAPE is a science-based organization supported by more than 400 medical pro-fessionals who believe there’s a connection between a healthy environment and a healthy citizenry.

“Communities real-ize that they need the support of doctors to win this,” says CAPE executive director Gideon Forman. “We add our voice when we are asked for help.”

Quebec, Newfound-land, P.E.I. and New Brunswick all have legislation banning the cosmetic use of pesti-cides and herbicides.

The following is an excerpt from a document written by K. Jean Cottam, PhD, who lives in Ottawa and is a retired intelli-gence analyst and past honorary Canadian representative on a pesticide working group in Washington:

“There is no longer any doubt that pes-ticides are harmful when used as directed, and their urban use is usually unnecessary.

Pesticides kill approximately 60 to 90 percent of earthworms that are important for soil’s health.

When brought indoors on shoes, their prolonged presence in carpets results in chronic exposure to vulnerable young

children. The aver-age homeowner uses approximately 10 times the quantity pesticides per acre as is utilized in farming.

Pesticides are a major source of seri-ous human allergies.

Moreover, insects and invasive weed infestations usually present an incompa-rably lesser danger than do exposures to pesticides.

The hundreds of toxicologists and a single epidemiologist employed by Health Canada’s Pest Man-agement Regulatory Agency function in a diffi cult, chemical-industry-friendly environment.

With virtually no labs at their disposal, they are compelled to register pesticides on the basis of incomplete rat data obtained in industry-sponsored and fi nanced labs.”

A10 NewsLeader Wednesday, June 22, 2011A10 NewsLeader Wednesday, June 22, 2011 offi cepolitics101Q : It seems as if I’m the only

person in our offi ce who doesn’t have at least one close friend. I do have a couple of friends outside work but I do feel some-what isolated at times. Any thoughts for me?

There’s no doubt we all need close relationships. And, in most instances, we begin those relationships in the workplace (or in school if we are a student).

Your situation is par-ticularly dispiriting because you are observing most co-workers apparently enjoy-ing friendships with others and you feel left out.

Friendships are compli-cated and depend on numer-ous social cues and customs. Even the act of starting a conversation requires a sense of propriety and the capacity to comfortably build upon the remarks of the other person.

Let me recommend three approaches that may be helpful. First of all, exhibiting any sense you are “needy” will make you unattractive and will almost certainly discourage any initiative by co-workers.

Second, friendships generally have their genesis based upon commonalities: genuine or perceived. If you’ve learned you and a colleague have a similar

interest in a hobby or sport then that could form the basis for bringing the mat-ter up in an initial exchange.

And, third, strong friend-ships are organic and will generally grow naturally. They can’t be forced because one person will almost certainly feel the pressure and may withdraw or express concern.

It may be that you are rel-atively new to the company so other employees have already formed friendships; of course, there’s nothing stopping co-workers having more than one friend.

Why not approach a co-worker informally with an initial observation about a sports or news story, for example? See how the con-versation progresses and be a good listener.

Subsequent conversations may also be instigated by the other person—which will be a good sign. At some point, you may feel comfort-able suggesting some social contact outside the work-place, if appropriate.

How can I hear better on the phone with my hearing aids?

Burnaby Hearing Centre Inc.www.burnabyhearingcentre.com

Location• Make sure you hold the phone over the hearing aid

microphone. If it is a behind the ear style you must hold the earpiece of the phone about 1 inch higher

Wireless connection• Some hearing aids can receive sound from the phone

without a special setting – there are various makes/models for this – please discuss with your audiologist

Telecoil• Some hearing aids have a telecoil program. You must have

a hearing aid compatible phone to use this program


For me, it doesn’t hap-pen often enough that our Canadian obses-

sion with sports (i.e. hockey) crosses paths with the arts—performing or otherwise. As a culture hound, I’ve surprised myself by getting caught up in the latest hockey sensation and witnessing Rogers Are-na’s house band, Odds, build a crazed following as the playoff excitement builds.

Playing with Canadian favourites including Colin James and Tragi-cally Hip’s Rob Baker, the Canadian alternative rock band has found a new, albeit unexpected, niche in their temporary role.

After seeing the Canucks through to the fi nish of this nail-biting playoff season, Odds will play another season-ender known as Live at the ’Bolt this weekend. A semi-annual event (a similar season opener occurs each September), Live at the ’Bolt is a celebration and thank you for theatre patrons, arts programs students and the community for supporting Shad-bolt Centre for the Arts theatre season and programs throughout the year.

Odds will perform in an alternative setup to the usual Studio and James Cowan Theatre arrangement where they’ll take centre stage in the centre’s cabaret, lounge style atrium. Cool ambi-ence will have the audience chilling to the alternative rock tunes of this well-loved local band.

Shadbolt Centre’s events and facilities coordinator Cory Philley books perform-

ers like Odds to end off the year with a bang and she switches up the genres each season. Last fall, the house was captivated by spoken word artist Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long while this Septem-ber’s Live at the ’Bolt’s Dances for a Small Stage will offer modern dance afi cionados a visual treat.

Although I can’t promise they’ll still be sporting their playoff beards, I can promise Odds will be rocking the house while wrapping up the Shadbolt Centre’s theatre season on Friday June 24.

• Odds perform Friday, June 24, 6-9 p.m.Tickets are $15, free for Shadbolt Centre

A day of Quebec prideFor those with Québécois heritage St. Jean Baptiste Day

is a great time for poutine and a party

PoutineINGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons fl our2 cups beef stocksaltfreshly ground black pepper2 pounds Idaho white potatoes, peeled and cut1/2 pound fresh cheese curd

Anny’s Dairy Bar in uptown New Westminster is an island of Québécois French in the middle of anglophone Metro Vancouver. On Friday, ex-pat Québecers from as far away as North Burnaby, Abbotsford and Chilliwack will gather there to celebrate St. Jean Baptiste Day, Québec’s national holiday. They’ll share stories from home, maybe sing some traditional folk songs like O Canada, mon pays, mes amours, eat poutine and soft serve maple ice cream, proprietor Anny Faucher’s specialty. What began in the 1636 as a religious celebration honouring St. John the Baptist by French colonists along the St. Lawrence River has morphed over the years into a politically charged fete of Québec nationalism and pride.But the desire for people to get together and party endures.“It’s all about fraternité and solidarité,” says Faucher, who grew up in Ste-Marie-de-Beauce, 40 kilometres south of Quebec City. “Everybody puts their Québec fl ag up and goes out to meet their neighbours.”After a day of barbecues and picnics, the whole community gathers around a huge bonfi re in the evening for music, dancing and telling stories, says Faucher.In fact, some smaller towns hold their celebrations the day before the offi cial June 24 holiday so residents can travel to Quebec City or Montreal for big concert events or the giant parade down Sherbrooke Street where crowds fi ll the sidewalks 20 deep.“Sometimes it’s bigger than Christmas,” says Faucher, who’s been living in B.C. for 15 years.

By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS

The toxins Metro Vancouver-ites fl ush down their toilets or pour down the drain have likely contributed to the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon, a panel of scientists told the Cohen Commission last week.

There’s no “smoking gun” that points to sewage effl uent as a leading culprit in the dra-matic collapse of the 2009 sock-eye run, said Dr. Ken Ashley, a BCIT instructor and consultant.

But he and others rated it a probable factor in the longer term trend of diminishing salmon returns.

Dr. Peter Ross, a marine mammal toxicologist at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Institute of Oceans Sciences, said there’s growing concern about the discharge of persistent chemicals that accu-mulate in the environment and threaten fi sh and sea life.

Emerging chemicals of con-cern include fl ame retardants such as PBDEs, bisphenol-A, phthlates, nanoparticles, syn-thetic musks and personal care products.

“PBDEs have been doubling every 3.5 years in harbour seals in the Strait of Georgia,” Ross said, adding very high concen-

trations have been found in sediments near Metro Vancou-ver’s sewage treatment outfalls and in Burrard Inlet.

Such chemicals might not kill fi sh outright but may pose more subtle threats, even at minute levels, the commission heard.

Endocrine disruptors can interfere with hormones and in some cases feminize fi sh.

They can also reduced growth and suppress immune systems.

Panelists said sockeye need to “smell their way” back home to their birth streams to spawn and the soup of chemicals mixed into the waters of Geor-gia Strait and the Fraser River could confuse them and reduce their chances.

Sewage treatment plant monitoring relies on tests of how many sample fi sh exposed to effl uent die within four days but don’t specifi cally test for many chemicals or consider their longer term cumulative impacts.

“From my perspective, that has very little to do with the real world,” Ross said.

He supported broader testing of effl uent for such chemicals and said he tried but failed to persuade federal offi cials to make that a requirement in

new standards Ottawa has set out to govern sewage treat-ment.

Ross said tests should look at not just the impact of individual chemicals but the complex mixtures that can form and interact unpredictably in the receiving waters.

There are also concerns the rules leave plant operators in charge of monitoring, what Ross called a “fox in the hen house” situation.

Metro Vancouver plans to spend $1.4 billion to upgrade its Lions Gate and Iona sew-age treatment plants to more advanced secondary treatment over the next two decades to comply with the new federal standards.

But the inquiry also heard doubts over whether the Annacis Island treatment plant – considered the region’s most advanced – used the best design when it was upgraded several years ago.

It uses a trickling fi lter system that Ashley said is far inferior to an activated sludge design in removing many endo-crine disrupting chemicals.

The Cohen commission was named after the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fi sh returned, a tenth the expected number.

Midsummer celebration

Summer offi cially arrived on Tuesday, but Metro Vancouver’s Scandinavian community celebrated the longest day of the year at the 16th annual Midsummer Festival held at the Scandinavian Centre Saturday and Sunday. The centrepiece of the festivities is the raising of the midsummer pole and then dancing in a circle around it while mimicking household chores or small animals. The festival also featured folk dancing and a concert by an ABBA tribute band, as well as a wife carrying contest. Above right, Katherine Wilson, whose Viking name is Aelfwyn, samples some of the food she’s preparing over an open fi re in the Viking village. Above left, Louisa Drever is framed by the fl ags of Sweden and Norway as she participates in ceremonies at Saturday’s Midsummer Festival.

Downtown New West


By Tom FletcherBLACK PRESS

After watching police from as far away as Abbotsford dispatched to help restore order in downtown Vancouver during last week’s riot, people have found a new reason to support a single police agency for Metro Vancouver.

A post-riot poll

of B.C. residents by Angus Reid Public Opinion found three out of fi ve respondents favours amalgamation of the patchwork of city police and RCMP that serves the Lower Mainland. Two thirds of people in Metro Vancouver and the rest of B.C. believe police offi cers handled the situation properly once the Stanley Cup

riot of 2011 broke out. And a similar majority opposed the idea that big street celebrations should be banned.

Four out of fi ve agreed that non-lethal crowd control tools such as rubber bullets or bean bag shotguns should be an option for police.

Four out of fi ve respondents also agreed with Vancou-

ver Police Chief Jim Chu’s assertion that the burning and loot-ing were sparked by a small group of people.

The poll found disagreement with one offi cial statement. Seven out of 10 respon-dents didn’t accept the idea that there was no way to know the crowd assembled in down-town Vancouver would become violent.

While public confi dence in police remains high, the same can’t be said for the court system. On average, respondents expect only 32 per cent of those who broke laws to be prosecuted, and half expect that one in fi ve or fewer perpetrators will be punished.

Riot reignites B.C. police debate

Average Metro two-bedroom costs $1,181

Rents edged up 2.6 per cent in Metro Van-couver over the past year, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

The average rent for a two-bedroom apart-ment climbed to $1,181 in April, up from $1,150 a year before.

Further east in the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford-area rents climbed 1.9 per cent from $783 to $797.

The provincial aver-age rose 2.1 per cent from $983 to $1,015, CMHC reported.

While prices are up slightly, the latest rental market survey found it’s somewhat easier to fi nd a unit.

Vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver increased from 2.2 to 2.8 per cent and from 3.1 to 3.7 per cent province wide. There was no change in 6.6 per cent vacancy rate in Abbotsford.

CMHC economist Carol Frketich said the rental unit supply rose

as tenants in purpose-built apartment build-ings bought their own

homes or moved into secondary suites or investor-owned condos

not covered under the survey.

Chris McClelland of Burnaby is being hailed as one of the heroes in the after-math of the Stanley Cup riot for coming to the aid of a chef who was trying to protect the Hudson’s Bay Company store-front.

Robert MacKay had stood in front of an HBC window as the angry mob approached. Some-one charged at him with a pole, which he managed to grab and then started shoving the crowd back.

All of a sud-den, MacKay was besieged by about 10 people hitting and kicking him injuring his nose and ribs. When he fell to the ground, the lanky McClelland, 19, and Dean Seskin jumped in and started to pull bodies off of MacKay.

“When there’s 10 people stepping on somebody when they’re on the ground, some-body could really easily get killed,” McClelland told CTV News after a reunion with

MacKay and Seskin on Sunday.

“One person after one person after one person would just join in, and they’re starting to kick. Then some scumbag pulls out a full can of bear mace.”

McClelland and Seskin then managed to pull MacKay to safety.

“These two guys are my heroes,” MacKay told CTV. “They’re the ones that saved me when I tried to save the storefront.”

McClelland, who grew up on the South Slope and now lives on the New Westminster border, said MacKay was the big hero, not

him.“I feel like Robin to Batman,

that’s what I feel like,” said McClelland as MacKay chuck-led beside him.

COURTESY CTVChris McClelland helped pull attackers off Robert MacKay, who had been trying to protect an HBC window from being smashed.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan recently received national recognition for his leadership in promoting sus-tainable community development.

Corrigan received the FCM Green Champion Award-Individual from the Federation of Canadian Municipali-ties. As mayor since 2002 and a Burn-aby city councillor from 1987 to 2002, Corrigan has championed, supported and led the development of dozens of innovative policies and programs that demonstrate the City of Burnaby’s ongoing commitment to sustainable development, said a city press release.

“The City of Burnaby has long been a leader in munici-pal sustainability initiatives,” Corrigan said. “I am proud of our city’s many achievements and I hope that we will serve as a model for other cities as we continue to focus on developing innovative environmental policies and initiatives.”
