Zhao’s killer given life10 years too long for guilty verdict in case: KwanWanda [email protected]

Ang Li, long accused of murdering his girlfriend Amanda Zhao in Burnaby, has been found guilty of murder by a court in China and sentenced to life in prison.

While Li, who has since changed his name to Jiaming Li, is likely to appeal, the verdict brings to an end a decade of frustration for Zhao’s family.

Zhao was a 20-year-old exchange student from China living in a Burnaby basement suite when she was killed in October 2002.

She had been living with Li, her boyfriend and also a Chinese exchange student, who reported her missing. Zhao’s body was found 11 days later in the woods near Mission and two days after that, Li fled to China and he was eventually charged in absentia with murder by the RCMP.

Last week Nancy von Euw was a swearing, smoking alcoholic dying of throat cancer. On Saturday she hopes to become the new “face” of Central City mall in Surrey.

The former is a role von Euw played in a production at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. The latter is an unexpected turn for the 51-year-old mother of three who’s competing against 17 other finalists—most young enough to be her children—in the Central City

Model Search. The winner, to be determined

by an online vote and a grand finale modeling competition at the mall on Oct. 6, will be featured in the shopping centre’s advertising campaigns, on billboards and transit posters for the coming year.

Von Euw, who studied theatre when she was much younger, thought she’d left footlights and pancake makeup behind when she started working overseas, met her husband, then eventually settled in Burnaby to raise her kids. A family

health crisis a couple of years ago changed her outlook, rejigged her priorities.

“I realized life is too short,” says von Euw. “Life can change in an instant and if you have things to do, you should do them.”

With two of her kids off to Simon Fraser University, and the third in high school, von Euw decided it was time to get back into acting. She started auditioning for roles in community theatre. Inevitably she was cast in “mom” roles.

She did a few modeling gigs,

mostly as the mother of the bride or groom in wedding scenarios.

When von Euw saw an ad in the NewsLeader for the Central City competition, she thought why not?

“Who else was going to be crazy enough to be a model at 51?” she says. “What’s the worst thing that can happen? They can say no and I move on.”

They didn’t. Of more than 400 applicants, von Euw was shortlisted for an interview that would determine the contest’s 18 finalists.

“Our worst nightmare began 10 years ago,” said Zhao’s mother, Baoying Yang, in a statement. “We were shocked to learn about the death of our daughter, we were speechless, numbed and paralyzed.”

The verdict announced last week “finally brings us closure for seeking justice for our daughter.”

Yang expressed thanks to several New Democrats, including MLAs Jenny Kwan (Vancouver-Mount Pleasant) and Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam) and former Burnaby-Douglas MP Bill Siksay and MP Libby Davies (Vancouver East) for their help in getting to this point.

Kwan said in an interview the verdict shows it is possible for Canadian and Chinese authorities to cooperate despite the lack of an extradition treaty, and that bringing justice to the Zhao

family did not have to take as long as it did.

“This proved in an unprecedented way that it could be resolved. But it took 10 years, 10 years is too long for such a horrific tragedy for anyone ... It’s just simply wrong and we can’t let that kind of thing happen.”

She said that shortly after the murder, it was assumed it was a federal matter so Davies and Siksay set about supporting the family through launching a petition.

While that was happening, Zhao’s mother sent out a letter “crying for help, the words of the mother were absolutely haunting,” explaining the barriers she faced in seeking justice, including being back in China and living on a low income.

Then, Davies received a letter from the federal government stating that since the murder took

place in B.C., it was a provincial matter, which is when Kwan and Farnworth, then the critic for the solicitor’s general, took up the case.

After lengthy political wrangling brought no results, they brought Zhao’s parents to Canada four years ago to meet with government and RCMP officials.

“I think that was really the turning point of the case.”

That was also the first time they learned any details of what happened to their daughter, including how she had died, Kwan said.

“The RCMP actually apologized to the family at the end of that meeting,” she recalled, and they committed to seeing the case through.

Through meetings between officials from the RCMP and Canadian government and

Chinese officials, an agreement was reached that China would waive the death penalty if there was a conviction. That allowed the RCMP to share its evidence to allow a prosecution to take place in China.

While Chinese authorities were wanting to prosecute the case, they didn’t have the evidence to do so, she explained.

“Until the federal government authorized the RCMP to share that evidence, there was no way that prosecution could take place in China ... But first the federal government had to acknowledge it was in their jurisdiction.”

Zhao’s family attended the court hearings, as did Canadian embassy officials, Kwan said.

In addition to a life sentence, Li was ordered to pay the family approximately C $170,000 for “death compensation, funeral expenses, living expenses as

dependents, and traffic expenses,” said the verdict.

While Li comes from a well-off family—his father is a high ranking official in the Chinese military—he doesn’t have much money himself, so it’s questionable whether the Zhao’s family will ever be paid.

Nevertheless, there is some closure.

“I am so relieved for the family in the sense that I know this is a day they’ve been waiting for for a long time,” said Kwan. “The family were very, very emotional as you can imagine, and tired. It’s been a very long journey for them. But at the same time, while relieved, it’s bittersweet really, because they know as we do know, that no matter what happens, Amanda will never be at their side.”

Burnaby city hall will be honouring eight Burnaby residents with its annual Local Hero Award.

Since 1997, 217 people have received the award, which recognizes people who have made contributions to community well-being in Burnaby over an extended period of time in multiple ways.

After receiving 14 nominations and reviewing them against the criteria, eight were proposed for the awards. They include:

• Karen Corcoran, a longtime volunteer with the Hastings Brentwood Community Police Office. She was instrumental in starting the Business Watch program in North Burnaby, and in helping develop “comfort bags” for children in crisis or who are victims of crime.

• Thea Juett, a retired social

worker who co-founded Burnaby Hospice Society “with the conviction that no one should have to die alone,” said the staff report. For the past 25 years she has been an active volunteer with both the hospice society and St. Michael’s Extended Care and Hospice Facility.

• Maria Motta, a longtime volunteer with South Burnaby Neighbourhood House (SBNH) and the Healthy Heart Program at Burnaby Hospital. Her passion for cooking has led her to prepare food for community dinners and fundraising events, cookies for kids at SBNH daycares, and meals and snacks for participants in seniors and Healthy Heart programs.

• Vivian Pinter, a dedicated volunteer with Burnaby North Girl Guides, the Capitol Hill elementary parent advisory council, and her local Block Watch chapter.

• Michael Raynor, an active volunteer with the Community Centred College for the Retired since 1999 and a longtime Mason and Shriner. Along with wife Barbara, he cleans and restores electronics equipment for reuse and recycling, works at food

banks and puts together comfort kits for the homeless.

• Linda Saunders, a longtime volunteer at the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C., who cares for the injured animals, builds needed facilities and is active in fundraising.

• Tanaya Shaw, a longtime volunteer with the City of Burnaby’s Citizen Support Services Department in the Baby Cuddle program, assisting new mothers with daily tasks and providing respite care for older siblings, collecting household items for client families. She has also accompanied families with sick infants to the hospital to provide support and help look after their older children.

• Marilena (Marilyn) Soligo, a dedicated volunteer at the Community Centred College for the Retired since 1998, leading Spanish and Italian language classes, and at St. Helen’s Parish in Burnaby, helping with the mission society, church events and food drives.

Nominees will receive their Local Hero Awards at the Nov. 5 council meeting at 7 p.m. in city hall council chambers.

To continue live coverageWanda [email protected]

Shaw TV has done an about-face and will continue live broadcasts of Burnaby city council meetings.

Earlier this month, Shaw wrote to Burnaby city hall saying it would stop broadcasting live effective Oct. 15 and instead, it would show pre-recorded council meetings late on Mondays or at noon on Tuesdays.

The reason given in the letter was “to effectively manage our scheduling conflicts and to ensure that council coverage is not pre-empted.”

Burnaby council was not pleased and accused Shaw of increasingly commercializing what is, under

its CRTC mandate, supposed to be a channel dedicated to the community.

A few days later, Shaw TV emailed Burnaby’s city clerk’s office advising that it had changed its mind and would be keeping its broadcast schedule as is.

“Our local Shaw TV teams are completely committed to working with the municipalities and we’ll be continuing to find broadcast times that work for them,” said Lindsay Krzepkowski, the Calgary-based manager of media relations for Shaw Communications Inc., in an email to the NewsLeader.

“Local programming is part of our mandate to the community and Shaw TV regularly broadcasts meetings from 19 different municipalities throughout the Lower

Mainland, along with three school boards.

In addition to Shaw TV, most municipalities live-stream their council meetings so there are options for Shaw TV viewers.”

Coun. Nick Volkow, who initially raised the issue at the Sept. 17 council meeting, said this week that Shaw made the right decision.

“It’s the only decision, I think, they could’ve made,” Volkow said in an interview.

“I think it was an ill-thought-out plan to begin with. I don’t think they understood the importance that ... citizens put on being able to watch and get the immediacy of decisions that are taken.

“I’m glad they, as I say, took a sober second look at their decision and thought better of it.”


Shaw TV reverses decision on council broadcasts

A Burnaby RCMP traffic officer pulled over an SUV for an illegal left turn and

ended up with a big drug bust Tuesday.

On Sept. 25, the officer saw the

southbound Ford Explorer turn left from Royal Oak Avenue onto Kingsway, despite

the posted no-left-turn sign, and pulled it over.

It didn’t take long for him to realize he was dealing with more than a simple traffic infraction.

The officer became suspicious after noticing “several indicators of criminal activity,” say Burnaby RCMP, and found the male driver was evasive about his identity.

The driver was arrested and a search of the vehicle turned up a large amount of various drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin, as well as currency and jewelry.

The following investigation determined the driver’s identity and found evidence he was in Canada illegally.

Miguel Jiminez Sanchez of Mexico has been charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and has been remanded in custody.

‘Autobiographical novel’ to be published Oct. 4Wanda [email protected]

Burnaby’s Rahela Nayebzadah was always told her parents had a story to tell.

“Ever since I was a kid, my parents have told me ‘we have a story, we’d really like it if one of our children would write our story.’”

Like most kids in that situation, Nayebzadah wasn’t interested. And like many children, that interest eventually emerged during adulthood.

“I felt really bad I didn’t pay attention earlier,” she said.

It was while she was struggling with unemployment after completing a master’s degree in women’s studies that the Edmonds-area resident decided to tackle the family story by writing a book.

“I got really depressed, I had nothing to do so I locked myself at home and wrote it.”

The result is Jeegareh Ma, or My Love in Farsi, an autobiographical novel being published Thursday, Oct. 4 by The Key Publishing House Inc.

Nayebzadah, 27, said it’s a true story, although all the names except for her own and her brother Rasool’s, have been changed, and dialogue and other details had to be created.

The basis of the story is the upbringing of her Afghan parents and how they met. She explained that her mother came from a wealthy family while her father did not. They met as immigrants in Iran and “somehow they end up married with five kids. My dad had a lot of pride. He refused financial support from his in-laws.”

Much of the story is about her mom. At family gatherings,

her father would share stories while her mother would stay quiet. After doing two days of interviews with her mom, Nayebzadah found it was her mother who had the most to tell, about the difficulties of being a wife, mother and immigrant.

The family came to Canada as refugees when Nayebzadah was two.

“A lot of immigrants believe when they come to Canada, their problems will be solved, but when they come, their problems aren’t solved.”

Also central to her family’s story is the day 18 years ago when Rasool, then five, was hit by a car while he was jaywalking with two sisters across Kingsway by Central Park. He suffered brain damage and partial paralysis.

Nayebzadah was 10 at the time and was the only one of the three not hurt—at least physically.

“I’m the only one so affected. It’s 18 years ago and I’m the only one that can’t get over it. I still can’t drive.”

She can’t even remember

much of the incident, having to reconstruct it through interviews with her siblings.

“We were trying to cross the street and buy candy. All I remember is my money falling everywhere.”

Nayebzadah wrote Jeegareh Ma in five months and has another book in the works, Monster Child, this time a work of fiction.

“My No. 1 goal since I was a child is to be a scriptwriter. I never thought I would write a book and get it published. I wrote it with a script in mind.”

Despite the excitement of having her book published, Nayebzadah is bracing herself for the reaction of her family to seeing their story in print, especially her mom.

“I just hope that she’s happy with the final product.”

Jeegareh Ma will be released Oct. 4 and will be available at local Chapters bookstores, Chapters.ca and Amazon.ca.

Rahela Nayebzadah will give a talk about the book at Burnaby Public Library’s Tommy Douglas branch on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.


BC Institute of Technology has increased campus security patrols after two incidents of a man peeking under the stall doors of a women’s washroom.

On Sept. 17, BCIT security was alerted of an older man trying to look under stall doors of the washroom in building NE1 on the Burnaby campus. Three women using the facility noticed the man and scared him off.

On Sept. 27, security received a second report, this time of a man trying to take photos in the

women’s washroom. The man was seen looking under stall doors, before fleeing after he was noticed and shouted at.

“BCIT takes these incidents very seriously and both incidents are being investigated by the Burnaby RCMP,” said a notice on the BCIT website. “The safety of our students, staff and faculty is very important and it’s vital that our community feel secure.”

BCIT has increased security patrols in the area where the incidents happened, as well as

across campus. The campus is patrolled 24 hours a day, on foot, in vehicles and on bicycles.

The suspect is described as being about 50 years old, with white hair and clean shaven. He is five-foot-nine to six-feet tall with a medium build.

Any suspicious behaviour on campus should be reported immediately to BCIT security at 604-451-6856.

Anyone who feels threatened in an emergency should call 911 immediately.

VICTORIA – The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election.

Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.

In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies.

He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).

Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal

Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.)

Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.

That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed forest inventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term.

The budget for forest inventory staffing and operation was about

$8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as $15 million and falling to a low of $5.1 million in recession-hit 2009-10. The estimate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster.

Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire damage. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased.

Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province.

These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up.

Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This

is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.

Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet. I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.

For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

Leaders’ spin contest ends in tie

Marijuana is expensive.Not only to those who indulge

in the occasional, or regular, toke. But also in law enforcement and social costs.

Growing, distributing and possessing pot are all illegal in Canada.

Much of the growing and distribution are controlled by organized crime. Police, court and municipal authorities spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year enforcing Canada’s pot laws.

For the most part, it’s a cat-and-mouse chase that just ends up moving the problem around rather than eradicating it outright.

Even a former B.C. attorney general, Geoff Plant, says the prohibition of marijuana has been a “disastrous failure of public policy.”

Last week, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized.

They’d rather the weed be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol.

That’s good news and bad news for the province’s 585,000 regular pot users; they’d no longer be considered criminals, but they’d pay the price with taxes that have an annoying way of always increasing.

But decriminalizing marijuana likely won’t save enforcement costs.

That’s because most of the money in marijuana made by the drug trade comes from producing it for export. As long as pot is still illegal the United States, there will be organized groups looking to cash in.

And there will still be pressure on authorities to shut those groups down and stem the flow.

The drug trade and its accompanying violence won’t go away with a resolution or the stroke of a pen through existing legislation.

Re: Former councillor’s plight highlights need for longterm care beds: NDP

I am shocked by the treatment to which Mr. Evans has been subject, but I am astounded by the response in the media.

As usual the path of least resistance is to blame—the government and the health care system.

Is no one prepared to take any responsibility for themselves and their “loved ones?”

I happen to live in Mr. Evans neighbourhood, and am somewhat aware of his circumstances, as well as having been exposed to a similar case involving my father-in-law.

I can state from experience that with just a bit of initiative and reasonable expectations, a perfectly acceptable solution is currently available without any of the hand wringing and casting of blame.

I am floored by his daughter’s statement that “the family” can’t afford the $4,000-$5,000 per month that a place in a private care facility—available on demand—would cost.

Mr. Evans could afford that outlay himself without “the family” having to put up a dime. As a retired union executive, his pension, on top of his CPP and

OAC (which is likely clawed back because his income may be above the $70,000 claw back threshold) is unlikely to be less than $60,000, and much of the care cost is tax deductible.

On top of that, his house, which is unlikely to be mortgaged at his age, is worth in the order of $1 million. So the daughter’s financial concern appears hard to justify.

So what Mr. Evans actually needs is not the government to provide us with an unlimited number of extended care beds, but someone to take a reasonable interest in his welfare and take charge of his affairs—a function most of us would prefer our families to undertake.

In my view, Mr. Evans’ problem is personal rather than political.

sun at Nat Bailey. The Vancouver Canadians’ baseball season is already done after another glorious playoff run, culminating in them winning back-to-back championships.

I was celebrating “glory” of another kind—the kind neither built in a day nor in a season.

The first was Friday evening, when Nelson Elementary opened its doors to the public and, in particular, alumni to mark its centennial (1912-2012).

I met students from as far back as the 1920s.

I spoke with one lady who was trying to find her name on one of the dozens of original, handwritten class rosters posted in the gym, which had been transformed into a fascinating museum of 20th-century history, pop culture and memorabilia.

Pointing to her Grade 7 class in the early 1940s, she explained to me the reason it had a whopping 54 students was due to a teacher shortage during the Second World War, as young teachers were needed in the war effort.

On stage, we heard from a more recent Nelson grad, who jested about how he went from being a near preschool dropout to a confident student thanks to his supportive Grade 1 teacher.

Having returned to Nelson to volunteer, he’s now on his way to becoming a teacher himself.

My second brush with glory came Saturday morning, at Buckingham Elementary’s 50th anniversary celebration (1962-2012).

A relative pup compared to Nelson, Buckingham nevertheless

boasts a proud history. As Principal Gregory Walters

told the audience, Buckingham has been the “crown jewel” of the community over the last half-century—a fact that did not go unacknowledged by a certain regal namesake. In an letter from Buckingham Palace, the Queen conveyed “her warm good wishes… to all concerned in this most special anniversary year.”

I read this letter, printed in the souvenir programme, as I sat centre stage between more special guests than I.

To my right was Helen Vanee (Burnaby’s first female secondary school principal when she took over at Alpha), who was my high school principal at Cariboo Hill, and a few seats to my left was Steve Cairns, a teacher during my elementary years at Second Street Community School (which is currently planning for its 100th). Both were former principals of Buckingham.

I hadn’t seen either in about two decades. A glorious convergence? Yes. A lucky coincidence? Most certainly not. These milestones that seem to be coming at a brisk pace for the Burnaby School District, bringing past and present students and staff together in celebration and remembrance, are the fruits of the

careful forethought and labour of our forefathers and foremothers.

They built such schools as to ensure we would have the highest quality public education institutions in Burnaby, not just for everyone, but forever.

perspective neededRe: Petition calls for bigger buses (NewsLeader, Sept. 26)

Let’s get this straight: The woman with the petition about the new shuttle bus in Burnaby is complaining about how long it takes to secure a wheelchair.

As a driver, it is our job to make sure all of our passangers arrive at their destination in a safe manner. I have had Tina Poole on my bus and she feels it is safe to bother the driver, and try to force her petition down other passengers’ throats.

I have had nothing but good comments about the new shuttle bus doing these runs on the weekend.

This woman should get her facts straight on why the shuttle bus is better suited on this run on the weekend. Complain to TransLink, not the driver who is only doing what the employer has set out for them.

A proposal to redistribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities get to cities without gambling facilities was rejected amid concerns over how it would work.

Advocates said the current system where only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. could easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities.

“The current regulations are pitting communities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local governments around the province.”

Port Coquitlam reps

said they didn’t intend for host cities to lose money, suggesting the province could keep them whole while providing a per capita share of gaming profits to the have-nots – a scenario many at UBCM considered unlikely.

Other delegates said have-not cities made their choice in the past not to have a casino – or the local costs and impacts that sometimes accompany them.

View Royal Coun. David Screech said BCLC couldn’t provide the address of every patron and suggested interested communities instead pursue local gambling revenue-sharing agreements.

Looser festival booze backed

Despite concern from some delegates, UBCM agreed to back a liquor licensing reform that would let adults drink in the presence of minors at music festivals and certain other special events.

The Whistler-sponsored resolution aims to let families

enjoy an event together, rather than forcing patrons who want alcohol into a segregated, enclosed beer garden.

Some opponents said B.C. should be moving away from the culture of alcohol at entertainment events, not reinforcing it.

Moore stands by coast guard base cut

James Moore is defending the federal government’s decision to cut the Kitsilano coast guard base in Vancouver, saying the city will still have the highest level of coastal rescue response in the country.

The senior Conservative cabinet minister in B.C. also took direct aim at Vancouver politicians, accusing Mayor Gregor Robertson of failing to raise his concerns directly with Ottawa before his council fired a political broadside.

“He has never phoned me,

he has never contacted the prime minister,” Moore told reporters after speaking to the UBCM convention. “The City of Vancouver could try to pick up the phone.”

Moore said the federal government is sticking to the decision to cut the Kitsilano base and increase the response capacity at Sea Island in Richmond as well as volunteer responders, but added Ottawa would reassess required service levels in future years.

Vancouver councillors had accused Conservative MPs of dodging their repeated demands to meet on the base closure. Vancouver officials challenged Moore’s account, saying council voted Sept. 18 to pursue meetings with the PM and Robertson wrote to him June 14, urging the decision be reversed.

Widespread concern has been raised in Vancouver and the region the closure will reduce rescue response times and increase risk of fatalities.

VICTORIA – the B.C. government has reached a tentative agreement with its largest employee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has recommended acceptance of a two-year agreement with a four per cent raise.

Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government offices around the province.

BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the government dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse and delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well.

“We think this is the spine of the system,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.”

Clark said the settlement

meets the government’s “cooperative gains” bargaining mandate, where savings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details.

Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the government to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that include ministry operations, social workers, and provincial prison and court services.

The union dropped its proposal to open more liquor stores on Sundays to increase revenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose distribution jobs were going to be privatized.

“Now that [privatization] is gone, we think we can talk to this government and in fact the next government about what it means to build revenues, and if we can find a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s win-win,” Walker said.

Blue box shakeup dogged by questions as deadline loomsJeff Nagel

[email protected]

B.C.’s newspaper industry, after threatening to bail out of a huge revamp of the blue box recycling system, is now back on board and the initiative may stay on track for a planned 2014 launch.

But cities remain deeply concerned about how the recycling system shakeup will unfold and councillors peppered industry reps with questions at a workshop session Thursday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria.

The province is requiring retailers, grocers and newspapers through the stewardship group Multi Material BC to take responsibility for collecting and recycling printed paper and packaging of every type.

It greatly expands blue box recycling and forces those producers who create all packaging waste to bear the costs of dealing with it, and hopefully spur them to design greener packages.

Multi Material BC officials say they don’t plan to create their own rival collection systems, but will likely contract with either cities, non-profits or private recyclers to use what already exists.

That still leaves civic reps

wondering what the final system will look like and whether their budgets and citizens will make sacrifices due to unremitted costs or reduced curbside services.

“What I see here is a huge amount of instability,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said. “It’s quite an untenable situation.”

His city has just paid for new trucks to handle single-stream recycling pickup – where all materials go in the same bin instead of being sorted by households – and wonders if taxpayers will be reimbursed for those costs.

“Who’s going to subsidize that? Probably nobody.”

Other questions voiced at UBCM include whether union contracts will be broken and whether recycling programs will all be forced to go to single-streaming or to separated systems.

“Who is responsible for illegal dumping?” asked Stacey Barker, the Fraser Valley Regional District’s environmental services manager and UBCM rep on the packaging issue.

“There are many questions.”An added complication is the

tight timeline for consultation.Cities may see a draft by

late October of the proposed system, leaving little time for input before the Nov. 19 deadline for Multi Material BC to submit its plan to the province.

The organization recently asked for a one-year extension

but environment minister Terry Lake said he has not yet granted the request and wants to stick to the schedule.

Efforts were delayed because the Canadian Newspaper Association, whose members generate 30 per cent of the material collected via blue boxes, stepped away from Multi Material BC to consider whether it could mount its own program but is now expected to rejoin.

“There’s a desire to work together on a single plan, as opposed to have two different plans,” Multi Material BC chair Allen Langdon said.

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said it’s critical the material collected actually be recycled and not just become another garbage disposal system.

He said cities that have invested heavily in recycling to achieve a high diversion rate don’t want to see any backsliding.

“Many local governments have amazing recycling programs,” Lake said. “The last thing we want to do is upset the apple cart.”

Multi Material BC would target residential recycling first, then businesses, industry and insttitutions later.

It estimates 50 to 57 per cent of the material it will collect is now recycled and aims to boost that to 75 per cent, but has no specific timeline for doing that.

UBCM has pressed for a more ambitious target.

Cities await answers on business-led recycling plan

Local MP Peter Julian uses sign language to say Thank you to the audience of Deaf people at our VRS Awareness Day event in Vancouver last month.

Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian was among those who gathered recently to raise awareness of a need for immediate telecommunications access for deaf Canadians.

Julian, who had previously served as executive director of the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, spoke to the crowd in downtown Vancouver in

sign language. Speakers called for provision of a permanent video relay service (VRS) in Canada that provides services in spoken English and French, and signed languages, American Sign Language and Langue des Signes Québécoise.

Such a system would provide immediate communication, unlike the current TTY Relay Services in which messages are spoken to an operator, then

typed to a deaf person on the other end.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has been looking into VRS as an option since 2006.

The BC Video Relay Services Committee is calling for approval of such a system by the end of this year.

twitter.com/wandachow

Video relay needed now, deaf advocates say

When she made that cut, von Euw says she was “really excited.” But she was also pragmatic.

“I’m a demographic that’s coming to your mall,” she says. “At my age, there’s not a whole lot of us models out there.”

Von Euw says her modeling aspirations are complemented by her acting background.

“There’s a lot of acting in modeling. You have to be able to put yourself in a lot of different situations.”

The experience has also cast her in a new light in the eyes of her family.

“To see me on stage, they never knew that part of me,” says von Euw. “It shows my kids you can do anything you want to be successful.”

At the Union of B.C. MUniCipAlities Convention

B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medical marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues.

The vote came during the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to support decriminalization of

marijuana.“We need to find a

way to know where these are so we can provide some regulatory control,” North Cowichan regional district director Al Siebring said.

He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada but are growing “far, far more”

than permitted and are increasingly linked to organized crime.

The Surrey-sponsored resolution calls on the federal government to force medical pot growers to first get a municipal permit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations.

It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the convention floor in the previous two years but was tabled each time amid concerns from some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ privacy and reduce medical marijuana access.

Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual licences to grow medical pot

and instead direct authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers.

Senior B.C. Conservative minister James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijuana – to decriminalize it – won’t sway the federal government.

“We’re elected on a platform that very explicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.”

Cross-border cash drain debated

The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that generated debate.

Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby Ottawa to rescind its recent loosening of overnight duty free limits, which significantly increased the value of goods

Canadians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours.

“The federal government is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spending,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said. But the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax collection of duties and taxes by Canadian border guards.

Medical pot controls demanded

SPORTS

Seven turnovers killed any hope the St. Thomas More Knights had of knocking off the Mt. Douglas Rams, the province’s top-ranked AAA high school football squad.

The Rams took an early 14-0 lead and rolled from there to defeat the No. 4-ranked Knights 41-26 in Victoria on Friday.

Mt. Douglas intercepted five passes by STM quarterback Chase Malcolm, returning two of them for touchdowns. Malcolm did throw for 234 yards and threw two TD passes to Gio Trasolini and another to running back Jalen Jana, who also scored another touchdown on the ground and rushed for 105 yards.

The Knights’ next battle is in Abbotsford against the second-ranked W.J. Mouat Hawks on Friday.

Top-ranked Rams knock off Knights

SFU Clan diffuses Red StormThe Simon Fraser University Clan

won its first Great Northwest Athletic Conference football match of the season by downing the Dixie State Red Storm 41-28 at Terry Fox Field on Saturday.

Running back Bo Palmer led the way with four touchdowns and rushing for146 yards. Quarterback Trey Wheeler threw for 312 yards and connected on TD passes to Mathis Baumbach and Lemar Durant, who had 116 receiving yards.

The Clan will play host to the GNAC’s newest team, the Azusa Pacific Cougars (Los Angeles), at Terry Fox Field on Saturday, 2 p.m.

Soccer men rack up goalsThe SFU men’s soccer squad won its

fourth consecutive game by blanking the visiting Saint Martin’s University Saints 6-0 Sunday afternoon.

Ryan Dhillon had a goal and two assists for SFU while Alex Rowley racked up four assists. Michael Winter, Matt Besuchko, Adam Staschuk and Justin Wallace got the other Clan goals. SFU took 30 shots while Saint Martin’s directed just six at Simon

Fraser goalkeeper Hide Ozawa, who picked up his second shutout of the season.

The win, combined with a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Pacific University Falcons last Thursday at Fox Field, improved SFU’s GNAC record to 5-1 and 9-1 overall.

Chris Bargholz scored the first two goals of the game on setups by Justin Wallace, who then scored his own goal. Colby Liston and Jovan Blagojevic also scored for SFU.

The Clan go across the border to play the University of Western Washington Vikings in Bellingham on Saturday starting at 3 p.m.

Women blankedThe women’s team wasn’t as

successful on the weekend, falling 1-0 to the University of Northwest Nazarene Crusaders at Fox Field Saturday afternoon. Last Thursday, 23rd-ranked Montana State University-Billings Yellowjackets blanked Simon Fraser 2-0.

The Clan, 1-8 on the season and 0-5 in conference play, will play host to WWU on Thursday.

Two tough lossesIn women’s volleyball, Saint Martin’s

defeated SFU 22-25, 23-25, 29-27, 25-17, 15-11 Saturday. That followed on the heels of a four-set loss (24-26, 25-21, 25-13, 25-19) to the Western Oregon Wolves.

SFU has a 2-10 record and has failed to win a GNAC match in six tries this season.

This weekend, the Clan travel north to play the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves and Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks.

ROn hOle/SfuLemar Durant of the Simon Fraser University Clan hauls in a pass against a pair of Dixie State defenders Saturday night.
