A disaster drill simulating a major earthquake at BCIT Wednesday involved more than 250 emergency and security personnel, volunteers and even makeup artists from Vancouver Film School. The exercise is conducted every two years, giving staff and emergency services a chance to practise procedures and policies in case of a real disaster, said Sarah Elliott, the security manager at BCIT. “It’s all about knowing how to do it better.” Simulated injuries included cuts, broken and severed limbs, chemical and radiation burns.

She saw how some women wore the burka out of fear of retribution from the Taliban faithful.
“This is my home. I didn’t know it was this way.” She began educating herself about the situation in
her native country, and soon began raising money for an orphanage in her father’s home province. Over the next several months she helped raise $3,000 through canvassing for donations and bake sales, for which she would often stay up until 5 a.m. making cupcakes.
In the summer of 2009, she returned to
Afghanistan and gave the money directly to the children at the orphanage, to ensure they got the greatest bene t from her efforts.
“I felt really good. It was the rst time I realized what I want to do with my life,” she recalled. “I didn’t care about money or wealth. All I wanted to do was try to help these people, not just Afghanis, but anybody who needed a voice in the world.”
She still dreams of one day rebuilding the orphanage. Meanwhile, her efforts while at Byrne Creek include participating in the model United Nations, and the school’s UN and Leo clubs, with which she helped spearhead a clothing drive that resulted in 70 large bags of clothes being shipped to refugee camps and shelters in Afghanistan.
In her studies, she has focused on global issues and even completed a psychology project that looked at terrorism, and how people can put themselves at physical risk for a belief system.
As for her family, they’re her greatest supporters. It helps that her father was a human rights advocate before the family left Afghanistan, so this type of work appears to be in her blood.
Badakhsh plans to enrol in the international studies program at Simon Fraser University, and work to promote greater education of global issues, “that allows kids to think about what’s going on in the world.”
As she said, “Ignorance is bliss, but it’s not nice in the long run.”

Riding a bike on city streets doesn’t have to be a fearsome teeth-gnashing, white-knuckle turf war with cars and trucks. A little knowledge and respect from both sides go a long way says Karen Ageson, an instructor for the Streetwise riding clinics put on by HUB (formerly the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition).
“Driving a car is actually one of the most unsafe things you can do,” says Ageson, who has ridden her bike in busy urban centres around the world.
“But on a bike, you’re not dealing with the same traf c as a car.”
That’s because Metro Vancouver has almost 1,700 kilometres of designated bikeways, including multi-use paths, separated street paths, low-traf c neighbourhood routes and marked lanes.
On a recent outing Ageson was able to ride from her home in Vancouver to the Broadway SkyTrain station, then after a respite on transit, along quiet marked bike lanes to her destination. She arrived safe and smiling.
Still, the prospect of sharing pavement with speeding cars and menacing trucks leaves many would-be cyclists glued to the couch. The Streetwise courses help give cyclists the knowledge and con dence to hit the road safely.
“We try to make cyclists feel comfortable on the road,” says Ageson.
That includes giving them tips on what to wear to stay warm and dry when the weather isn’t, basic bike maintenance and bike handling techniques and covering the rules of the road from a cyclist’s perspective.
It’s the latter that often leads to con ict between motorists and cyclists.
“There’s rules of traf c versus how traf c actually operates to establish ow,” says Ageson.
“If everyone has that in mind, then we can all get along. Both sides have to be respectful.”
The rewards go way beyond improved tness and reduced air
pollution, says Ageson.“You’re so much
more involved with the world around you when you’re on a bike. You watch the weather, you make eye contact, you say hello to other cyclists and pedestrians because you can. There’s not that anonymity you have when you’re driving a car.”
There will be a Streetwise course in Burnaby at the Bonsor Recreation Complex in Burnaby on June 24, 12:30-5 p.m.
The rst half of the course is in the classroom, while the second half puts the lessons to the test with a ride on city streets. Cost is $56, or $50.40 for HUB members. Call 604-588-2002 or go to www.bikehub.ca.

The notorious snakehead sh caught in the lower pond at Burnaby’s Central Park last week will soon be dissected by biologists at Simon Fraser University in an effort to solve a few mysteries.
The sh’s equivalent of the inner ear bone will be analyzed to try to determine how long it’s been in the pond, said SFU graduate biology student Michael Beakes, who is volunteering with the project.
The bone is laid down in daily increments, much like the rings of a tree, so the layers will be checked for any changes in chemistry that could indicate when it moved from its original home to the pond.
The invasive species is native to Asia and has no known predators in this part of the world. It is known to eat numerous native species, from sh to frogs and even ducklings and small dogs in the case of larger snakehead sh. It is sold in pet stores and Asian supermarkets.
Someone posted video of the sh in the pond shot on Mother’s Day, and efforts to catch it ended on June 8 when it was scooped up in a net by a team that included staff from Ministry of Environment and the City of Burnaby, as well as numerous volunteers from SFU and the University of British Columbia.
Biologists’ dissection of the 70-cm (two-foot-three-inches), 3.32 kg (7.3 pound) sh—which was still thawing Wednesday morning after being frozen following its capture and euthanization—will include an examination of its stomach contents.
“If it ate something real soon before it was captured we may be able to identify the contents and where in the food chain it’s been feeding,” he said.
It may be very dif cult to tell what gender the sh is, Beakes said, and early indications are it’s
a northern snakehead. That’s one of 30 species of snakehead and the type most commonly found invading areas of North America, even prompting of cials in the state of Maryland to place a bounty on the sh in an effort to control the growing numbers.
Samples taken from the snakehead will be distributed to researchers at SFU and UBC as well as the Environment Ministry.
Once the dissection is complete, the biologists will do their best to put it back together—the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria wants to add it to their collection, Beakes said.
For student biologists like Beakes, the whole project has been history-making.
“Anytime there’s an initial discovery of an invasive species ... there’s a lot that you can learn from it. In that sense it’s a very exciting opportunity.”

Snakehead being studied at SFU
SFU graduate biology student Michael Beakes holds the snakehead, near the pond where it was caught.
Instead, city hall staff will be dealing directly with staff from those of cial bodies charged with planning the hospital’s future, Corrigan said.
“I think what we will be doing is responding on a technical level through those committees established by the Ministry of Health, Fraser Health, and the [Burnaby] Hospital Foundation,” he told council Monday. “And then anything individual politicians want to do to consult with the political organization you can feel free to do.”
City staff have also discussed with ministry staff alternative locations for a new hospital, such as the one at Willingdon and Canada Way, which is also owned by the province.
“The actual land the hospital is on was
given to the provincial government by the city for hospital use 60 years ago and so that land must be used for hospital use,” Corrigan explained. “So we’ll be in consultation on that issue.”
Coun. Nick Volkow scoffed that the letter from the MLA-led committee to city hall begins, “Dear bylaw department, City of Burnaby.”
Coun. Colleen Jordan noted the letter asks for any written submissions that are longer than three pages to include an executive summary “because I guess three pages is too long.”
Corrigan stressed there are two processes going on at the same time—the of cial one with staff from the ministry, health authority and hospital foundation, and a second one led by politicians.
“That is the one that has three-page
reports that are to be received—I suppose re ecting the attention span of politicians—instead of the more comprehensive consultations that will be going on with the Fraser Health region,” Corrigan said.
“I want to assure everyone we will be engaged on a technical level throughout this process.”
Neither Bloy, committee chair, nor vice-chair Lee could be reached for comment before the NewsLeader’s deadline. Dr. David Jones, the consultation committee’s spokesperson, said it didn’t matter to him whether the MLA-led group is of cial or not.
“We’re not working at odds,” he said of the concurrent processes. “I hope what we can do is contribute to the decisions that need to be made.”

While chatting with someone the other day, I used the expression, “The world is your oyster.”
I stopped and thought: What the heck does that mean?
For that matter, why would anyone compare a shell sh to being in control of one’s destiny?
Why not a turnip, or a can of sliced peaches?
I mean, is “The world is your Dungeness crab” any less ridiculous than oysters?
Who comes up with this stuff? Maybe an oyster farmer?
Is he the same guy who coined “happy as a clam?” How could he tell?
Buried in wet sand your entire existence... what’s happy about that?
As you can tell, it got me to thinking about other silly phrases that have made their way into the English language.
Some of them have faded away, but I still hear “once in a blue moon.”
Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a blue moon. Not ever. In fact, I don’t think that’s even possible. So how can there be
a “once” if there’s no such thing?Wouldn’t that be “never in a blue
moon?”No less confusing is “over the
moon.” Now, I understand being delighted, or ecstatic, but how that relates to a voyage into space just beats me. And actually, that should be around the moon, as any astronaut who has done so can tell you.
More nonsensical though is “pie in the sky,” which is used to describe unrealistic thinking. Apparently, it hasn’t occurred to anyone that the expression itself is pretty out there...
“Burning the midnight oil” is another ancient saying that still crops up in conversation.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the invention of the electric light bulb and electrical power
grids pretty much replaced oil lamps about oh, a century ago, give or take a few decades.
But there’s that old expression, still being used to express working late.
Same with “ ghting hammer and tongs.”
Violent confrontation is still pretty much in vogue these days, but with hammer and tongs? Aren’t those blacksmithing tools? Who do you know who even has a pair of tongs, other than perhaps the stainless steel kitchen version?
Back off, Jack, or you’ll feel the bite of my rubberized vegetable servers!
Oooh, there’s a threat!“Raining cats and dogs” is still
oft heard, and it’s just plain weird.Somehow, somewhere, someone
decided to equate falling droplets of water with plummeting pets.
Clearly, this person was drunk as a skunk.
And where skunks get liquor, I can’t imagine. Wouldn’t they be asked for ID?
You’d think someone else would have immediately challenged the cat/dog precipitation comparison.
“Dude, you’re out of your mind. Shut up. It’s just raining really hard, OK?”
But no, apparently no one thought to question the insanity of this remark. We just continued to parrot it to this day.
And speaking of days, the more contemporary expression “at the end of the day,” makes me crazy.
What does that actually mean?Nothing, really, but it’s
objectives and all sorts of miscellaneous proclamations and observations are based upon this vague point in the Earth’s rotational cycle.
At the end of the day, some day soon, I’d like to see this phrase go away.
All day, every day.In the meantime, I’ll just keep on
keeping on.If you know what I mean.

Strange artifacts linger in the lexicon
Farmers markets are booming everywhere, except Burnaby.
The market which started here in 2008 has failed to thrive. A move from Burnaby City Hall to Burnaby Village Museum hasn’t brought out the throngs of people seeking fresh, home-grown and produced food and local crafts. And early indications are the move back to City Hall this year hasn’t worked either.
Yet there’s no reason why a Burnaby market can’t succeed and become a vibrant community meeting place.
So—some suggestions.In other cities where success has
been found, markets have largely been set up in strong, established neighbourhoods. The people there take ownership and make it their own, thankful for an opportunity to get good, fresh food, and a chance to visit a market so close to their homes.
New Westminster’s market is also next to a city hall, but it’s in a park on the edge of the historic Queen’s Park neighbourhood, close to many homes, and many residents walk to the Thursday afternoon market.
The original farm market at Vancouver’s Trout Lake is just a short walk from Commercial Drive, and nds its original avour from the neighbourhood that surrounds it. As a result, people from far and wide hop on their bikes or SkyTrain to enjoy the atmosphere.
Burnaby’s market is in the geographic heart of the city, but that’s not enough.
This market is struggling because it hasn’t tapped into Burnaby’s community. There could be two, or even three markets in Burnaby.
The Heights is a great place to start, perhaps in the parking lot next to the playground at Confederation Park. If done well, the neighbourhood would embrace it, and it would become a destination.
Edmonds and South Slope might even be possible options to follow.
And they wouldn’t have to be Saturday morning. If the markets are well placed and well promoted, they could happen any afternoon of the week and be successful.

COMMENTThe solution to
replace those running for higher of ce or resigning is to replace them with the next highest vote-getter in the previous election, and install that person for the balance of the term, until the next election. Consequently no by-election is needed. If they were acclaimed because nobody else ran, then nobody else replaces them due to candidate indifference.
If a person chooses to vacate their position to seek higher of ce they should be forced to give up any and all bene ts accrued, so they would not be double dipping out of the public purse.

A n arts centre, unlike a traditional museum or art gallery, is trying to be multiple things to multiple people—it’s
a gallery, it’s a performance space, and a place for meetings and large assemblies. This makes the experience at the arts centre quite different than a visit to the Burnaby Art Gallery, for instance, where visitors interact with a work of art or have an exchange with an artist or curator. This interaction with culture is different again than an hour or two spent at the Burnaby Village Museum where history comes to life, and where you can ride a 100-year-old carousel or engage in a much more tactile way with objects and artefacts.
Your reason to visit the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts will be quite varied—you may be taking a class, attending a live performance, meeting a friend for coffee, waiting for your child, participating in a
special meeting or event, or you just enjoy being in the space, looking at the Jack Shadbolt paintings on display and the beautiful scenery of Deer Lake Park.
But the facility is much more, especially at this time of year as the regular program and theatre seasons are wrapping up. Colourful student exhibitions appear throughout the building. We gear up for Live
at the ’Bolt, the event that marks both the launch and close of our main season and which sees the transformation of the atrium into a wonderful performance space. Last September, Dances for a Small Stage performed, and on June 22, DJ Leanne & Co will create the ultimate music environment with an expansive playlist sure to appeal to the music and dance lover in us all.
As we set our sights forward we are also pleased to announce that Inner Ring Circus will be our featured performers for the launch of our 2012-2013 season on Sept. 21. Orchestrated by a distinguished Ring Master, this eclectic troupe of performers will entice you into a mad world of aerials,
acrobatics, and brain-teasing visuals. This performance, one that you won’t want to miss, is part of the extended program of cultural activities planned for the arts precinct at Deer Lake Park during Culture Days this September.

B.C. drivers tested for alcohol, drugsTom Fletchert [email protected]
VICTORIA – Roadside surveys are set to begin around B.C. this month to continue a research project that tests for marijuana, cocaine and other drugs as well as alcohol use by drivers.
The B.C. government is spending up to $250,000 for the seventh survey of its kind in the province, part of a national program run by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. Previous surveys have shown that in random samples, about 10 per cent of drivers test positive for alcohol and seven to eight per cent have a detectable level of drugs in their systems.
This year’s survey is being done in the same communities as the last one in 2010: Vancouver, Saanich, Abbotsford, Prince George and Kelowna.
The roadside surveys are supervised by police and use hand-held breathalyzers, but they are for information only and won’t result in charges or suspensions. Drivers are asked to voluntarily and con dentially answer questions, provide a breath sample and also a saliva sample using a plastic stick with an absorbent pad on the end.
Saliva samples are sent for lab analysis to detect marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other opiates, amphetamines and common sedatives. The test doesn’t determine if the driver was impaired by drugs, but only if there is a level detectable by the lab test.
Ottawa passed legislation in 2008 to give police authority to demand physical sobriety tests and collect blood, urine or saliva samples for drug testing, but no roadside test or legal limits currently exist for drug impairment. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police do have options.
“Police can issue a 24-hour prohibition at the roadside if they suspect drug impairment,” Bond said. “They can also take the driver into custody, so trained, certi ed police of cers can conduct a very accurate drug recognition and evaluation exam and ask for blood tests to support Criminal Code charges.”
The surveys found that while alcohol use increases late at night and on weekends, drug use by drivers is more consistently found at all times and days.
The surveys were extended to Prince George and Kelowna for the rst time in 2010, and the survey company found drivers more likely to agree to the interview and samples than those in the Lower Mainland.
Of the 2,480 vehicles selected for testing in 2010, 86 per cent of drivers provided a breath sample and 71 per cent agreed to give a sample of oral uid.
BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESSPolice roadblock in the Lower Mainland: a different kind of roadside test is being conducted this year, checking drivers for alcohol and drugs as part of a research project.

This was supposed to be the dream summer of Kelsey Haberl’s young life.
Growing up in Burnaby, she had Olympic dreams and worked hard to become one of the best young rst basemen in Canadian women’s softball. In
2012 she was going to be 22, so the timing seemed right to play for her country at the Summer Olympic Games in London.
But a few years ago, that dream was dashed when the International Olympic Committee decided to dump the sport from the 2012 and 2016 Games.
So instead of a fortnight in one of the globe’s greatest cities playing before world-wide audiences, Haberl is scheduled to spend a couple of weeks at the world championship in, ahem, Whitehorse.
“That was heartbreaking because 2012 would have been the perfect year for me,” says Haberl, who went to Seaforth elementary and Burnaby Mountain secondary. “The Olympics is something I always dreamed about, to be in the Olympics in any sport. It kind of sucks they decided to take it out of the Olympics. Most of us have realized or come to terms that it’s not going to be for us, but we want to get it back [in the Olympics] for the younger kids.”
Haberl started T-ball when she was about six, and played baseball with the boys until she was in Grade 5 before sticking with softball, a game she took up in Grade 4. The lefthander went on to play for the Burnaby Oakeys and the Surrey Storm.
“I loved the team aspect of it,” she says. “It’s individual in so many senses. I hate that it’s about failure, but I love that it’s about failure. There’s always room to improve. I just love the game.”
During high school, Haberl began to attract attention from college programs. She had plenty of options, but the best one turned out to be just a
short drive up the hill. Playing for Simon Fraser University had two advantages. First of all, the women’s softball program run by head coach Mike Renney had always been an elite one in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Second, she could continue to sleep in her own bed at home instead of a tiny dorm room.
“There’s always the thought of what you could be missing, or moving away and being on my own. But I’ve never regretted not leaving because it worked out well for me,” says Haberl. “It was a safe decision, but it worked out well.”
Did it ever.Her four years at SFU were eventful. They
included the school’s transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II.
“You really noticed the difference in the level of play. It’s great to say you can play in the NCAA,” says Haberl.
She just completed her senior campaign, in which she led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in batting average (.465), on base percentage (.496) and walks (38). She committed just two errors all season, giving her a .995 elding percentage. With those super stats it’s no wonder she was named GNAC player of the year. “That was cool. I was surprised by that.”
With her collegiate career complete, Haberl has thought about playing in professional leagues either in the U.S. or Europe, but her rst priority is to complete her geography degree with the hope of getting a teaching certi cate.
In Grade 10, Haberl tried out for the junior national team for the rst time, making it to the nal round before being cut. But in her freshman season at SFU, “I was in the right place at the right time” and was named to the national team.
Haberl calls playing for Canada “amazing.”“That’s why I drive to be on the team every
season. Every year I get nervous for tryouts.”
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBurnaby’s Kelsey Haberl is ready to take to the eld for Canada’s national women’s softball team at the upcoming Canadian Open at Softball City in Surrey.

The Burnaby Lakers were all tied up following a pair of Western Lacrosse Association draws last weekend.
On Sunday in Nanaimo, the Lakers played to an 11-11 sawoff with the Timbermen, which came on the heels of an 9-9 tie with the visiting Maple Ridge Burrards at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday.
The Lakers let a 6-1 rst period lead slip away and actually needed a goal by Mike Brascia with 2:22 left in regulation to force overtime. However, in the extra period, they also saw an 11-9 lead evaporate as Nanaimo scored twice in the last three minutes including the tying goal with 53 seconds left.
Dane Stevens had two goals and three assists for Burnaby. Scott Tinning, Shaun Dhaliwal and Brascia also scored twice with singles going to Chris Manwaring, Casey Jackson and Trevor Moore.
On Friday, Jackson scored with 23 seconds left in OT to salvage the draw. Burnaby had scored six consecutive goals to take an 8-6 lead in the third period before Maple Ridge came back with two goals to force overtime.
Stevens had another big game with three goals and two assists. Jackson also had a hat trick and added a helper. Other Burnaby goals were by Matt Quinton, Scott Jones and Dhaliwal.
A week after upsetting the Langley Thunder, the Lakers were back in the Fraser Valley city last Wednesday but this time lost 13-7.
Dane Stevens and Scott Jones both had two goals and an assist for the Lakers while Trevor Moore, Justin Salt and Matt Quinton scored singles.
Burnaby’s record is 3-2-2 heading into a busy week. Tonight they are in Victoria to play the undefeated Shamrocks (5-0). They will have a return engagement with the Burrards in Maple Ridge on Sunday before taking on the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday and then playing host to the Coquitlam Adanacs at Copeland next Friday.

Lakers do lots of drawing
It was a tough few days for the Burnaby Jr. Lakers.
On Sunday, a late comeback fell short as they were edged 15-14 by the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen at Bill Copeland Arena, which was also the site of a 16-4 thrashing of the Lakers at the hands of the Delta Islanders on Tuesday night.
The Isles came out strong scoring the game’s rst four goals and taking a 6-2 rst-period lead before extending it to 12-3 after two. Kevin Lemond scored twice for Burnaby with Adam Phillips and Ryan Watson getting the others.
In the game against the Timbermen there was plenty of scoring with each team scoring six goals in both the rst and second periods. The Lakers actually held a 5-2 lead in the rst period before Nanaimo got its sea legs.
Tyler Kirkby had four goals and two assists for the Lakers with Ryan Watson coming away with ve points, including two goals. Josh Simons, Dale
Mushinski and Jaeden Gastaldo also scored twice with singles going to Bryan Gillis and Colton Dow.
The losses dropped Burnaby’s record to 2-9, a point behind Nanaimo (2-11-1). The Lakers will get another shot at the Timbermen in Nanaimo on Saturday before playing host to the Port Coquitlam Saints (5-6) on Sunday at 5 p.m. The Lakers will also visit Queen’s Park Arena to play the New Westminster Salmonbellies (8-4) on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Sentence a sign prison coming for convicted riotersJeff [email protected]
A one-month jail term handed to a 20-year-old Surrey man for his role in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is bad news for the dozens of others still awaiting their day in court and hoping to avoid prison.
Emmanuel Alviar pleaded guilty this spring to charges of mischief and participating in a riot, saying he was sorry for helping stir up mayhem downtown last June 15 after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Cup to the Boston Bruins.
It’s the rst sentence for a Cup rioter with no prior criminal record and it’s being interpreted as a sign jail terms will be inescapable for most who follow.
Alviar, a drywaller and former choir singer, turned himself in to police early in the investigation after videos circulated online showing him pushing against a car that other rioters then destroyed, and later throwing a barricade at a window.
Provincial Court Judge Reg Harris took into account his remorse and guilty plea, but said the size, duration and damage done by the riot – as well as the fact it was the second one in Vancouver involving a hockey crowd – required a substantial deterrent.
Harris also gave Alviar 16 months probation, 150 hours of community service and ordered him to write apology letters to Vancouver’s mayor and chief of police.
Alviar’s lawyer said the sentence sets a probable oor of jail time for similar rst-
time offenders and all but rules out conditional sentences, which he had asked for on behalf of his client.
SFU criminologist Rob Gordon agreed.
“I think it’s more likely than not,” he said of jail for the rest. “It depends on who they are and what they’ve been doing in the past.”
The only other rioter sentenced so far was Coquitlam resident Ryan
Dickinson, who got 17 months in jail less three and a half months credit for time served, but he had a past record of assault.
Gordon noted Alviar’s behaviour worked against him – he was seen at three different places during the riot over a period of hours when he was supposed to be chaperoning four 14-year-olds.
First-time offender jailed for role in Cup riot
Emmanuel Alviar, pinpointed in this riot photo, has been sentenced to one month in jail for his involvement.Please see RIOT, A14

But he said other accused rioters who didn’t come forward early face long odds of avoiding jail.
“Those who did not put their hands up, those police had to chase, and those with prior convictions will be facing longer periods,” he predicted.
“I think a lot of people will be satis ed.”
Gordon said it sends a clear message to future rioters.
Technically, he added, the one-month sentence is “fairly gentle” in light of the fact a conviction for participating in a riot can result in a prison term of years.
CHARGES EXPECTED AGAINST MORE THAN 300
Crown prosecutors have charged 104 accused rioters so far and police are seeking charges against at least 120 more.
The largest number charged so far – 44 – are from Surrey, followed by 38 from Vancouver, 27 from Burnaby, 19 from
Richmond, 14 from North Vancouver, 11 from Delta, eight in Langley and seven each in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.
“By the time we are done, we expect that we will exceed 300 persons charged with over 900 criminal charges,” Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu said.
“We believe this is the greatest number of people charged with a crime arising from one incident in
Canadian history.”Chu called for public help in
identifying 10 worst unidenti ed rioters through photos posted on the riot investigation website at riot2011.vpd.ca.
He said 14 of 15 rioters who attacked a Good Samaritan have now been identi ed and either face charges or remain under investigation.

Sandon Fraser, left, and one of his
Tight and Bright teammates, Allan
Bridges, get in some last-minute
training for this weekend’s Easter
Seals 24 Hour Relay For The Kids, which begins Saturday at Swangard Stadium.
Some runners spare no expense equipping themselves with the latest moisture-wicking fabrics and cushioned shoes to get a comfort or competitive advantage.
Before Sandon Fraser hits the track at Swangard Stadium this weekend, he went to Value Village.
Fraser and more than a dozen of his best buddies comprise Tight and Bright, one of almost 70 teams of recreational runners who will be circling a four kilometre route around Burnaby’s Central Park and Swangard Stadium for 24 hours to help send kids with disabilities to summer camp.
This will be the team’s fth 24 Hour Relay For The Kids. The event started in 1978 with 23 teams raising more than $70,000.
Since then the relays have spread across Canada, from Calgary to St. John’s, and they’ve raised more than $51 million for local Easter Seals programs.
Fraser, the youth services co-ordinator for the city of New Westminster, says his group rst got involved for the challenge. Not only the running aspect, but also the fundraising. It costs $2400 to send one child to camp, and this year the members of Tight and Bright are hoping to cheer the summer of four kids by raising $10,000.
“It’s a lot of fun to work towards a goal,” says Fraser.
They do that by organizing various events through the preceding months, like pub nights, a garage sale, an annual party. They’ve even teamed up with other
groups to support each other’s fundraising efforts.But coming up with all that money pales to the
effort expended to conjure up the team’s annual theme and accompanying costumes, says Fraser, especially since they’ve previously won the prize for best costumes and they’re featured on the poster promoting this year’s event.
“It’s supposed to be fun,” says Fraser, who picked up a Superman costume at the thrift store.
“We like stepping out of character.”This year the team continues its tradition of
creating a pun from the year to determine the colour of their costumes.
They’ll wear blue spandex, bright blue afro wigs and blue knee socks to celebrate twenty-one-blue; last year they wore yellow to celebrate two thousand e-lemon.
While in the past teams didn’t don their crazy costumes until the nal lap on Sunday morning, in recent years more and more participants have chosen to run the whole event in their getups.
“It’s become more of a celebration than a race,” says Fraser. “It’s such a fun day.”
This year’s Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay For The Kids begins Saturday at 10 a.m. at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby and concludes 24 fun and festivity lled hours later. Along the way, runners and their supporters will be entertained by live music, volleyball and dodge ball competitions and the annual Mr. and Ms. Relay Pageant.

Public plug-in stations aim to fan trend to zero-emission travelJeff [email protected]
Publicly accessible charging stations for electric cars will be set up in select Metro Vancouver regional parks.
The regional district plans to spend $64,000 setting up six to eight stations where electric vehicles can be plugged in while their owners enjoy a park visit.
Air quality planner Eve Fichot said Paci c Spirit, Boundary Bay and Capilano River regional parks are among those under early consideration for charging stations.
“We’re looking at ones that have a high visitor rate,” she said.
A Metro report also indicates Burnaby Lake Regional Park, Metro’s head of ce in Burnaby and the Annacis Wastewater Treatment Plant are other likely locations for public charging spots.
Metro environment and parks committee chair Heather Deal said the concept is to make it easy and convenient to recharge car batteries.
She said the more charging stations exist – particularly in areas where drivers tend to park for extended
periods – the more viable electric cars become and the less owners worry about running out of power.
“The easier you make it, the more convenient you make it, the more pleasant you make it, the more likely it is that people will actually decide to make this change in their lives,” Deal said.
Half of the cost of the pilot project is to be covered by the province’s $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund, which will nance 570 stations across B.C.
The 240-volt level 2 charging stations need four to six hours to fully charge an electric vehicle’s battery, but an hour or two typically provides enough of a top up to travel another 20 to 40 kilometres.
Metro already has 14 charging stations installed at its Burnaby of ces and Lake City operations centre for its own eet of electric vehicles.
Metro won’t attempt to charge users for the power, which it estimates will cost the region $1 per stall per day.
Some Metro directors were concerned about the optics of providing free fuel.
But of cials argue it supports the sustainability of the region.
Designated stalls will be marked for electric vehicles only.
Electric car chargers planned for regional parks
Echo Lin holds an electric car charging cable beside a Tesla electric roadster outside Metro
Vancouver headquarters June 6.
A handful of public charging stations exist in Vancouver but Fraser Basin Council spokesman Jim Vanderwal said the provincial fund will subsidize businesses and other agencies to sponsor charging stations at other points in the Lower Mainland.

TRANSMISSION PROJECTBURNABY TO NEW WESTMINSTER
Early June to Fall 2012
The Burnaby to New Westminster Transmission Project will help meet the growing demand for electricity in the New Westminster area.
A new 2.8 kilometre, 60 kilovolt underground transmission circuit will connect New Westminster Substation to an existing transmission line located near Lakefield Drive in a right-of-way close to Robert Burnaby Park. Three cable vaults will also be installed along the route.
Construction will begin in early June and is expected to be finished in Fall 2012. Planned hours of work are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Temporary lane or street closures may be required in work zones. Traffic management staff will be in place as needed to safely direct traffic and pedestrians.

Surprisingly enough, she’s “very nervous” about this year’s tryouts that begin today (Friday) in Oklahoma City even though she was named to the 2011 Canadian Open all-star team, the only Canadian to do so. Her apprehension has its roots in making the team in 2009 but being cut in 2010.
“I’m very nervous. You just never know,” she says. “You’ve always got to be able to perform. The pressure’s always there to perform, even though it’s not in a competition.”
Last October, she got a silver medal at the Pan Am
Games in Guadalajara, Mexico when Canada lost the nal to the United States. “That was an awesome experience.”
After the tryouts, Canada will participate in the World Cup in Oklahoma before returning to the Lower Mainland for the Canadian Open, formerly known as the Canada Cup, in South Surrey. It’s a tournament Haberl grew up with. At rst she went to watch and learn before participating in the showcase (under-16) and futures (under-19) divisions and then playing for Canada in the international elite division.
“It’s the best tournament of the season. Everyone you know is there. Everyone I played against or with is there. I love that tournament,” she says. “You live and breathe softball for a week.”
This year’s Canadian Open runs June 30 to July 9 at Softball City, 2201 148th St. in Surrey. For more information go to www.canadianopenfastpitch.com.

Commercial waste haulers are increasingly trucking the garbage they collect to private land lls outside Metro Vancouver to avoid high tipping fees and disposal bans that are enforced by the regional district.
The developing trend has alarmed Metro Vancouver staff and politicians because every load of garbage that leaves the region means less money is collected in tipping fees to support the xed costs of the waste management and recycling system, forcing those fees to climb higher for everyone else.
So far it’s estimated 50,000 tonnes of waste per year – ve per cent of the waste stream – has shifted to private out-of-region facilities, resulting in a loss of $5 million per year in tipping fee revenue for Metro. It’s mainly coming from businesses, industry and multi-family residential buildings served by private haulers.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s Zero Waste Committee, said the fear is the outward migration of garbage will accelerate.
“The reduction could grow
exponentially and then you’ve got a real issue,” he said.
“The trend could be a very dif cult one if we don’t address the situation. If you’re taking waste out of the waste stream that means the cost for those who remain is going to increase.”
Brodie said a big chunk of the 50,000 tonnes of outbound garbage is believed to go to a private transfer station in Abbotsford, where it’s shipped by rail to a U.S. land ll run by Rabanco near the Washington-Oregon border.
Allen Lynch, manager of the North Shore Recycling Society, said the option of routing trash through Abbotsford costs customers about $40 to $50 per tonne.
That’s less than half of Metro Vancouver’s $107 per tonne tipping fee, which was raised 10 per cent in the past year alone because falling garbage volumes shifted more of the cost to remaining users.
“It’s a very tough situation for Metro right now,” Lynch added. “The more they put the tipping fee up, the more they’ll lose.”
Besides the cost differential, private rms can offer the convenience of not having to divert recyclables that are banned from disposal by Metro.
“A hauler could approach a customer in Burnaby or the North
Shore and say ‘Don’t worry about sorting that stuff out, we’ll take care of it and we can give you a cheaper rate,’” Lynch said.
But there’s no guarantee loads will ultimately be recycled in the U.S. or some other out-of-region destination at the level required within Metro, Lynch said.
The hauler is also no longer subject to occasional Metro surcharges for loads that break the rules because someone has thrown banned material in a bin, Lynch noted.
Rival waste rms that keep using Metro facilities, meanwhile, face a dif cult decision: lose business to competitors who have started hauling east to the Fraser Valley or else join them.
“It creates an uneven playing eld,” said Metro solid waste
department manager Paul Henderson.
Tipping fees have steadily climbed more than 60 per cent since 2006, when they were just $65 per tonne.
Henderson said the fee for 2013 is being recalculated now, but he could not say what it will be.
Private-only waste facilities have lower costs in part because they deal exclusively with big bulk customers, not individual families that drive up with tiny loads, require more assistance and expect to pay in cash.

Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties are teaming up to bring the Brewery District to New Westminster. Located in historic Sapperton, directly connected to SkyTrain and beside the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District will offer something for everyone.
“We believe that the Brewery District will be an exciting and vibrant place to live, and that it is an important part of the future of New Westminster,” says Bluetree President Ben Taddei. “We are pleased to become a part of this community and the vision set out by Wesgroup, with the development of its residential buildings.”
The first high-rise tower will have 130 suites, and will start sales this winter.
“A strong and reputable builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community,” says Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup.
Eventually the development will include approximately 750 homes, space for almost 100 new businesses and the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters, which are currently under construction.

Turning into the driveway of Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community, you immediately feel a sense of calm. Your shoulders relax, your head clears and you breathe a sigh of relief. Your new home at Hampstead at Silver Ridge awaits, surrounded by trees and green space, blending perfectly into the beauty around it.
“It’s a quiet, natural setting,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. “That appeals to a lot of people.”
The 105-acre master-planned community of Silver Ridge in Maple Ridge has been in development for years, and Hampstead is the latest phase. Building on the popularity of past phases like Brighton and Stoneleigh, Hampstead features many of the beautiful details that have been so popular before, and adds a few unique touches of its own.
“We really raised the bar for Hampstead,” Steine says. “There’s something for everybody.”
The three- and four-bedroom single-family homes have seriously gorgeous exteriors, with custom stone detailing, natural-stained wood beams, heritage-style front doors and professionally landscaped front and back yards. Curb appeal will never be a problem at Hampstead!
and nine-foot ceilings on the main level. Most plans include dramatic vaulted ceilings, which lend a huge sense of space to your new home. The five different floorplans, ranging from over 2,030 to 3,526 square feet, all have a great room layout, so you’ll easily be able to entertain in high style around the energy-efficient fireplace that features a custom-crafted wood mantel.
The kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with a work island with an eating/conversation bar, full-height tiled backsplash, shaker-style cabinets and pot lights throughout. Those pot lights are featured throughout the home, so harsh lighting is a thing of the past.
The master suite is an oasis of calm, with spacious walk-in closets, soaker tubs in the ensuite, granite bathroom countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile
tub surround and ensuite floor.When you actually want to leave
your home (you may not after seeing all the amazing things inside it), you’ll find a community backing on spectacular natural green space.
“It’s becoming more difficult to find green space,” Steine says. “That’s what we really can provide here.”
Portrait has been honoured with 105 major industry awards for Silver Ridge, including the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada this year. They were also awarded a Special Platinum Award this year by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia for winning 27 Georgie Awards in the past 11 years.
“The community itself is probably
one of the most awarded communities in B.C,” Steine says. “There’s a lot to be said for that.”
Right now buyers are able to take advantage of buying a home before construction begins, so they can choose their colour scheme and have the opportunity to take advantage of the upgrades that Portrait is offering.

Welcome home Rob and Miya. We hope your new home is an exciting part of your new life together.
