Ling Su was at home theevening of June 13, strug-gling to put her two littleones to bed, when Christo-pher Alexander Serrano laybleeding in the street, just ablock away.
Su hadn’t heard anythingunusual, but she could seethe emergency vehicle lightsflickering from across theback alley while she was inthe shower.
“Never did it cross mymind that it would be mur-der, a shooting,” she said.
Serrano was involved inan altercation, possibly in-side a vehicle, at about 9:30p.m. in the 3900 block ofForest Street, just one streetover from Su’s. Neigh-bours heard shots, policewere called, and someoneperformed CPR on Serra-no, but he was pronounceddead about an hour later inhospital.
Su learned what hap-pened from her husband,who heard about it on the11 p.m. news.
Serrano, 29, was a self-professed drug dealer whoslit a stranger’s throat withbox-cutters after an argu-ment at aVancouver night-club.The man survived,and Serrano spent twoyears in jail. Su has no ideawhy he was in her neigh-bourhood that night – hishome address is in Co-quitlam.
The killing left Su with asense of unease and a stron-ger desire to connect withher neighbours at the an-nual Spruce Street blockparty. Su feels it’s evenmore important to contin-ue the block party tradition
so people know each oth-er and their neighbourhoodand can tell when some-thing is out of place.
“The home is where theheart is, and if these eventshappen too close to home,we’re going to have to ad-just and be wary of newfaces,” Su said.
This year’s block is setfor Saturday, July 19, from11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on thestretch of Spruce Street be-
tween MacDonald andSmith avenues, which cov-ers roughly 50 homes.Neighbours are volunteer-ing to organize the event,and they have money fromtheVancouver Foundation’sneighbourhood small grantsprogram.The murder is atopic of discussion amongthe group, and they feel it’simportant to keep the blockparty tradition alive and thecommunity safe, according
to Su.“No one is immune to
violent individuals cominginto neighbourhoods, butcommunity block watchor neighbourhoods that
speak up, that’s importantfor me. I want to be able tocontinue to walk aroundthe neighbourhood andfeel comfortable,” Su said.“These are real issues thattouch real residents at a ba-sic level, our homes, our se-curity.”
Antonia Beck, execu-tive director of the Burna-by Neighbourhood House,knows how important it isto connect with one’s com-
munity. Much of her workfocuses on bringing peopletogether through block par-ties and community events,much like the one Su andher neighbours are orga-nizing.

Sure, summer is awe-some. It’s hot, it’s sunny,you get time off, you can goto the beach. But let’s faceit, for lots of families, sum-mer is also pretty darn ex-pensive. Add in extra childcare, summer camps, gas forthe road trips, camping fees… the costs just keep onmounting.

So, next time you gulploudly when you check yourbank balance, consult thislist and find a way to whileaway an hour, an afternoonor a day without spendingany (or much) of that hard-earned money.

Of course, ahighlight for kids (and more
than a few adults) is a spinon the restored 1912 C.W.Parker Carousel (carouselrides are $2.60 each). Plus,you can get lunch and treatsat the ice cream parlour.

You’ll have tospend a small amount ofmoney on this one, butit’s so worth it.What kid(or grownup, for that mat-ter) hasn’t wanted to hopaboard a train and go?When you stop by theBurnaby Central Railway’sminiature train at Confed-eration Park, you can enjoya ride on a one-eighth scaletrain along more than two
kilometres of track.The rail-way has electric, diesel andsteam engines to enjoy.

55TAKEAHIKE
Yes, Burnaby’smost definitely athriving and bus-
tling urban centre – but italso has an abundance ofplaces to get back to natureand take a hike.
For a family-friendlystroll, try the trails at Burn-aby Lake or Deer Lake,or take a meander alongthe river at Fraser Fore-shore Park.Take in the wa-terfront views – and stopto check out the beach – atBarnet Marine Park, or mo-sey under the trees at Cen-tral Park.
Or, if you’re feeling en-ergetic, put your legs tothe test on the “BurnabyGrind” – the 1,400-metreVelodromeTrail that makesits way up the side of Burn-aby Mountain from thegravel parking lot just northof the Harry Jerome SportsCentre on Barnet Highway.Your 240-metre elevationgain includes an impressive500 timber stairs, so it’s notfor the faint of heart – butthe views, once you hit thetop, will be more than worthyour effort.

Parents and teachers wantto know how the Burnabyschool board plans to spendthe extra $1 million re-turned to the district by theministry of education lastmonth.
In February 2015, theministry announced districtsaround B.C. would have totrim a combined $54 mil-lion in “administrative sav-ings” from their budgets –$29 million for the 2015/16school year and $25 millionfor 2016/17.
Last month, the govern-ment said it had decidedto redirect the $25 millionfor 2016/17 back to the dis-tricts. For Burnaby, that willmean an extra $1,027,783cash for next year.
But, while some B.C.boards have called extrabudget meetings to decidewhat to do with the windfall,
BurnabyTeachers’ Associa-tion president Rae Figurskysaid the local board has yetto announce any plan.
“I don’t think they’vedone anything,” she told theNOW onWednesday morn-ing, “so we don’t know whatthey plan on doing.”
The local teachers’ unionsent the board a letter onJune 15, requesting the dis-trict use the extra funds tohire about 12 more teachersnext year.
The District Parent Ad-visory Council has alsopressed the board for clarifi-cation about its plan for themoney in a letter read out ata public school board meet-ing June 13 by outgoingchair Jen Mezei.
“We hope that some ofthe funds redistributed toBurnaby will be used to ad-dress the issues and con-cerns that were broughtforward by school represen-tatives and parents during
our district budget consul-tation process last month,”Mezei said, “such as increas-ing counsellor time, moresupports for special needsstudents and increases tocustodial hours to providecoverage for custodial ab-sences.”
Chair Ron Burton toldtheNOW no decisionshave been made yet abouthow the extra money willbe spent next year, and theboard will probably sched-ule an extra finance com-mittee meeting during thesummer to formulate a plan.
“We’ll try and deal with itbefore next September, sowe have things in place, likeif we have to hire other EAsor teachers or that, we haveit done for next year.”
As for getting input fromparents or teachers, Burtonsaid partner groups alreadygave their input during bud-get consultations this springand in the letters they sent.

Blockparties–what’snot to love?We love block parties.Our front-page story
on the residents of SpruceStreet in Burnaby pull-ing together a block par-ty reminded us of just howmuch we love block parties.
While the people onSpruce Street have a uniquereason to put on their par-ty, we think any reason is agood reason.
Did we mention that wesimply love block parties?
Here’s why. Let us countthe ways:
We love them becausethey remind people howimportant every single per-son is in a community.
We love them because ev-erybody gets invited: thisis not just for the popularkids.
We love them becausesomebody always turns upwith a brand new recipe forpotato salad.
We love them becauseneighbours become friendsand friends of your neigh-bours may become your
friends.We love them because
there’s always somebodywho turns up who knowshow to fix your cable box.
We love them becauseyou learn much more aboutdiversity than you couldever learn from Facebook.
We love them becausesomeone always needs ahand to do some chore, andthere’s nothing better thanbeing needed.
We love them because go-ing to a block party reminds
us of just how lucky we areto be alive in this time andin this place.
We love them becausegetting closer to real peo-ple always shows us how wehave so much more in com-mon than we could haveever imagined.
We love them becauseyoung people and old peo-ple mingle and play gamestogether.
We love them becausesometimes you all get toplay bocce or street hockey
and not care how good youare at it.
We love them becausethere’s usually a baby ortoddler who makes us allsmile.
We love them becausethere’s nothing like takingover a street and not hav-ing to worry about cars andtrucks sneaking up behindyou.
We love them becausesomeone always has a greatfunny story to share.
We love them because
they make people feel saf-er and more in touch withtheir surroundings.
We love them becausesomebody always brings agreat sheet cake.
We love them because forone day or one afternoon,everybody can just kickback and enjoy themselvesand not worry about havingto drive home.
Oh, and did we say, welove them just becausethey’re plain good fun.

Kinder Morgan’s pro-posed project to increasetheir transport of dilut-ed bitumen from the east-ern Burrard Inlet to the Pa-cific Ocean offer risks thatare many times higher thanthose accepted for other ma-jor infrastructure projects.
As Concerned Profession-al Engineers (CPE), we feelthis is not acceptable. Webelieve that a proper analysisof risk needs to be made toascertain whether risks pro-posed by Kinder Morganare acceptable and anythingless than that is gross neg-ligence on the part of deci-
sion-makers.First, what is risk?The
dictionary defines it as a sit-uation involving exposure todanger or exposing some-one or something valued todanger, harm or the possi-bility of financial loss.Whenit comes to building infra-structure like homes, bridg-es, buildings and highways,various levels of governmenthave established buildingcodes.These are set parame-ters for how structures mustbe built so they meet a toler-able risk.
Kinder Morgan predictsa 10 per cent risk of a majoroil spill, greater than 8,250cubic metres during the 50-year operating life of theproject.They have not made
available the computationaltools they used to make thatrisk analysis. As well, thePort Authority ofVancouverrefused a recommendationto clear theVancouver har-bour when the oil tankerswould be moving through it.On top of this, the risks andconsequences of a tankerhitting the Second NarrowsBridge have not been evalu-ated, despite our requests tothe National Energy Board(NEB).Together these vari-ables increase the risk of theproject.
Even accepting Kind-er Morgan’s computer gen-erated risk assessment, theTrans Mountain Expansionposes a far higher risk thanwhat is acceptable for build-ings and bridges.
Building codes demandthat the risk of an earth-quake occurring, causingprobable collapse of a struc-ture, be no more than twoper cent over a 50-year peri-od. Kinder Morgan’s num-bers are five times higher(10 per cent over a 50-yearperiod). In other words, theacceptable risk for an oilspill is not up to the samestandard as it is for earth-quakes.
New bridges like the PortMann Bridge must meetthe Canadian bridge codeguidelines that the probabil-ity of collapse be no morethan 0.5 percent over a 50-year operating life. This is inrecognition of the fact that ifa ship collides with a bridgeit could cause catastroph-ic damage to the bridge oreven collapse.

Theatre of the absurdunfolds in BurnabyDear EditorRe: Feds pitch in for transit proj-ects,BurnabyNOW, June 17.
The large picture accompanying this storywas the most interesting part for me; havingalways believed that of all the one-liners thatJay Leno produced, his best one was: “Politicsis really show business for ugly people.” Thatwas so very apparent last week when Canada’sPrime Minister and B.C.’s Premier appearedin this picture taken in Burnaby, using theCanada Line train as an expensive backdrop.They were joined in this theatre of the absurdby other federal, provincial and municipalpoliticians who all gave performances worthyof an Oscar. We, the Great Unwashed, knewwhat they were about to say was little morethan a well-scripted rehash of previous an-nouncements.
They all knew it, we all knew it, and theyall knew that we all knew it, but in the besttheatrical tradition: “The show must go on.”Nothing as trivial as appearing absolutelyphony and ridiculous would ever deter thepoliticians from putting on a show; to informus how much of our own tax money and bor-rowed money (that will eventually have to berepaid through higher taxes), would be spenton upgrading public transit.
The PM is pictured with his hand in the air,no doubt trying to ascertain which way the po-litical wind is blowing; while the Premier looksdown trying to hide her glee, figuring this is agreat photo-op for her upcoming provincialelection campaign.
A much more savvy politician than all thecurrent bunch, whose stellar career was cutshort in a theatre, once observed: “You canfool all the people some of the time, and someof the people all the time; but you cannotfool all the people all of the time.” Words ofwisdom from Abraham Lincoln that should betaken to heart.Bernie Smith, byemail
Risks of pipeline planare just too high
Historically, there have been a numberof collisions with the railway bridge at theSecond Narrows, when hit by vessels ofa much smaller scale (weight, height andwidth) than that of an Aframax tanker. Intwo cases, the bridge has been complete-ly knocked out of service and had to berebuilt. Damage to the Second NarrowsHighway bridge can result in economiccatastrophe because it is a main artery oftransportation inVancouver. Is it accept-able to risk collision with any bridges inthe Burrard Inlet? Is the consequence ofan oil spill in the city ofVancouver, a placeseen by the world as both green and vi-brant, acceptable? Our answer is “no.”Brian Gunn is the spokesperson for CPE,

ZiggyEckardt I really disagree withyou when you claim “corporateCanada simply doesn’t want to sharethe wealth with those who created it”.If you really believe that the “fat cat”salaries are stolen from the efforts ofthose on the factory floor, just checkout the system, the workers paradise,in Cuba. The doctor earns about thesame as the maid in your hotel. Youbring your own sheets should you beso unlucky having to go to the hospital.Yet “tio Fidel” owns several villas onhis own island, a yacht (of course)and a clinic on stand-by 24/7, just forhim. Canada and the rest of the worldare hit (it will get worse!) by the Saudiattack on us, using the price of oil. Tobe sure, we will feel the outcome! Ven-ezuela, on the other hand, has emptygrocery shelves already and govern-ment workers are reduced to working2 days a week due to a shortage ofelectricity...Do you really need to take a notch offthe fat cats to make yourself feel bet-ter? Some of us don’t.By the way, I do have a pension myself.I also see nothing wrong with wantingto improve the lives of future retirees. Iwould have preferred to use the othersystem, you know the one taken out byour new government. When pensionswere introduced the average life expec-tancy was 65 in the industrial world. Aswe go longer to school and live longerI see nothing wrong with people work-ing longer. … But, you seem to thinkthat there is nothing wrong with a 6year phase-in of another tax at a timewhen many of those involved need themoney now to establish themselves.

ADVANCE NOTICE OF UTILITY BILLING
Properties that have been identified with a secondary suite, but have notyet been charged additional utility and garbage fees, will be mailed aspecial Advance Notice of Utility Billing package in July/August 2016. Thepackage to property owners will include information on the SecondarySuites Program and the upcoming fees. It will also provide instructions forupdating the City’s records for properties that do NOT have a secondarysuite.
The additional fees will appear on the annual utility billing notice to be sentin February 2017.

pride,” Beck said. “Youdon’t want this to make ev-erybody afraid and retreatinto their homes.You wantpeople to feel comfortablein their neighbourhood.”
As for the murder inves-
tigation, Jennifer Pound,spokesperson for the In-tegrated Homicide Inves-tigationTeam, said policeare still interested in hear-ing from residents who mayhave seen or heard some-thing. She also said police
believe the shooting wasn’tthe result of the neighbour-hood.
“In some cases, peoplewho are engaged in illegalactivity will pick quiet andrespectable neighbourhoodsto make a meet,” Pound
said. “It would be specula-tion to say what exactly thismeet was, but we can sayit was not associated withthat neighbourhood. It wasa quiet street, and we thinkthat neighbourhood waspicked for that reason.”
Pound said police are al-ways supportive of pro-grams like BlockWatch,where people keep an eyeout for criminal activity.
“There’s always strengthin numbers, too. If you area vigilant neighbourhood,
you know what’s fitting intoyour neighbourhood andwhat isn’t,” she said.
The tip line for the Inte-grated Homicide Investi-gationTeam is 1-877-551-4448.
If the provincial govern-ment’s proposed spill pre-paredness and responseplans were to be given agrade by local Burnaby pol-iticians, they would get, atbest, an “I” for incomplete.
The city was asked toweigh in on the province’sthird intentions paper onspill preparedness and re-sponse in B.C., and the pro-posed amendments weregiven a bit of a rough ridefrom council.
A staff report generallysupported many of the ele-ments of the proposed spillresponse regime outlined inthe intention paper, includ-
ing the ongoing emphasison the polluter-pay princi-ple that requires responsibleparties to have spill responseplans and restore the envi-ronment following a spill.
However, the staff reportalso said there are sever-al areas of concern that re-quire further considerationby the province, includingquestions on how the re-sponse would be “worldleading,” as the proposedregime lacks critical detailsand has not been evaluatedand compared to require-ments of other response re-gimes around the world.
The city response alsonoted that, while the paperproposes standardization ofthe type of information re-
quired in a spill report – in-cluding timelines for subse-quent reporting and relatedupdates – there is no re-quirement for the polluterto provide certain informa-tion to the regulator, such asthe total volume spilled andthe impact to public landsand third-party properties.
“We’re a long way fromfinished in this process,”said Mayor Derek Corrigan.
While the mayor ap-peared to be satisfied theprovince’s process was mov-ing forward, he said theamendments show how lit-tle was in place previously.
Corrigan also offered hisown criticism of the inten-tions paper, suggesting thereis no connection between
federal and provincial legis-lation and nothing to assurethere wouldn’t be a jurisdic-tion battle between seniorlevels of government.
“No one wants to have a
jurisdiction fight when youhave an emergency on yourhands,” he said.
Corrigan also said there isno fund or way to compen-sate local governments, whohe argued are often on thefront line and play a key role
in mitigating the damageand restoration afterwards.
“There isn’t enough rec-ognition of the importantrole that we play,” he said.
Coun. Sav Dhaliw-al, while suggesting the re-sponse plans were movingin the right direction, alsosaid calling the province’sresponse “world-class”would be premature, notingthere are a few things thatare glaringly missing fromthe report.
Other councillors wereeven less impressed.
Coun. Paul McDonellsuggested there is a lot of“fluff” and “fancy words,”but he doesn’t see a lot ofaction. He also noted thereare no measurements on the
province’s intention to havea “world-class” response.
Coun. Dan Johnstonagreed, suggesting the re-port read more like a cam-paign brochure, addingwhat the community needsis a plan so that all of theparties can respond to a di-saster and begin the cleanupand rescue process imme-diately.
“I think it’s really disap-pointing that one responseis one too many,” he said. “Ithink it needs to be betterprepared than this if we’regoing to avoid a poten-tial environmental disasterdown the road.”

Four out of the sevenyouths who took part in awelding camp for B.C. Pro-vincial School for the Deaf(BCSD) students last weekweren’t sure they wanted tobe there at first, accordingto surveys they filled out onday one.
But, whether it was shoot-ing flames or flying sparksor chunks of metal tak-ing shape under their ownhands, their reluctance wasshort-lived.
“When they showed up,they were kind of hummingand hawing whether theyshould be here or not, butwe got them into the booth,and they’ve been smil-ing ever since,” said AndySmith, a trainer with Iron-workers Union Local 97,which hosted the event at itsBurnaby headquarters June20 to 24.
The event was one of 35Mind Over Metal camps
being funded across Cana-da by the CanadianWeldingAssociation (CWA) Foun-dation this year to give at-risk youth a hands-on intro-duction to welding and thecareer options the skill canopen up.
“The students at the B.C.school for the deaf are oftenoverlooked when it comes
to opportunities in thetrades and we want themto experience welding froma hands-on perspective,”said Deborah Mates, execu-tive director of the founda-tion, the charitable arm ofthe national welding associ-ation. “This is one of manyoutreach projects through-
out the country the CWAFoundation has planned forthis year, but it is probablythe most unique in terms ofthe demographic.”
Grade 7 student Mat-ty Molloy decided to givethe camp a try because hermom is a welder and shewanted to get a sense ofwhat the job is like.
“I was a little worriedabout – just like fire an dsparks jumping onto yourclothes or burning things ormaking mistakes or hurtingmyself,” she told the NOWthrough a sign-language in-terpreter, “but this week Ihaven’t had any problemsreally.There’s been no realbig failures. It’s gone well.”
Pursuing a welding careermight be an option for hersomeday, she said, but mak-ing art was what appealedto her during the camp.
“I definitely enjoy the cre-ative and art side,” she said,“but I wouldn’t mind doingit for work. I enjoy build-ing things and working with
my hands. I think it’s goodwork, but I like the creativeside more.”
For Ken McKen, westernmanager of the CWA Foun-dation, creativity and a ca-reer in welding aren’t mutu-
ally exclusive.“To me welding’s an art,”
he said, “and I think that’skind of what we’re showingstudents here, is that if theyuse their creativity and usetheir imagination, they can
become an artist. …We’vehad some great creationshere.Who knows where itmight go.”

Metal camp for deaf youthdates back to an interactionhe had with BCSD studentsat a LNG conference in Oc-tober.
The students showed in-terest in the welding simula-tor at the CWA booth, butwere hesitant to give it a try.
When McKen point-ed out how to use visu-al prompts in the helmet,a few really took to the ac-tivity.
The CWA Foundationthen brought the weld-ing simulator to the schoolin December and decidedto take their work one stepfurther with the camp lastweek.
“This group here, it tooka day or two just to get overtheir anxiety, but, I tell you,
they got fully engaged and,as you can see, they’re busy.It’s hard to keep ahead ofthese students,” he said.
McKen has taught deafwelders before, he said, andthe challenges they facehaven’t prevented themfrom becoming excellentmetalworkers.
“It depends what you’reworking on, but there’sa certain sound that youknow you’re getting theproper weld, the proper dis-tancing for your electrodeor it could be for your MIGwelder,” McKen said, “sothey have that disadvantage,but their other two sens-es seem to pick up, so theymake the difference andthey just have to pay moreattention to what they seeand what they feel, and they
can become really goodwelders.”
To give students the in-side scoop on what it’s liketo be deaf and work as awelder, Ironworkers Local97 also invited one of its twodeaf apprentices to comespeak.
For BCSD education as-sistant Nici Baird, whoworked as a welder for 16years, the camp was a goodintroduction to the widerange of welding careersopen to her students.
“I thought it was great,just to show them what’sout there and that therearen’t barriers to trades,”she said.

It seems just a few days ago the issue was alack of goals.
The Burnaby Lakers, a few days removedfrom scoring just four times in a game thatthey won, flexed their offensive skills onTues-day with a resounding 14-2 triumph over theLangleyThunder.
It proved to be a showcase night for someof the club’s righthanded snipers, as Burna-by buried the visitingThunder with a barrageof shots, with Robert Church leading the waywith five goals and three assists.
For the Lakers, who had averaged just oversix goals per game over the first eight contests,the offensive explosion was a welcomed sign.
“There are a lot of good goaltenders in thisleague making it tough to score,” remarkedrighthander Scott Jones, who contributedthree of his ownTuesday. “There are a lot ofgood defences, but I’m glad we got it over 10this game -- I think this was the first time thisyear and that’s good for the confidence.”
Their biggest output prior to this week’s vic-tory were a couple of nines – a win against
Langley, and a loss toVictoria. Although goals,and most notably, timely goals, have been ata shortage to start the year, they’ve found arhythm of sorts now, noted Jones.
“We have a lot of guys like Eli (McLaugh-lin) and Josh (Byrne), who no one has playedwith before, so we needed to get everyone intopractice,” he said. “Everyone kind of trickledin but now we’ve got a full lineup.There are alot of unselfish players and anyone can heat up.Our (righthanders) were good this game andthe lefties were good the previous game so it’swhoever has the hot stick.”
That proved to be Church, a four-year veter-an who helped the Saskatchewan Rush win theNational Lacrosse League title four weeks ago.His first of the night came with an extra at-tacker in the dying seconds of the first period,then followed it up with back-to-back tallies inthe second, one of the shorthanded variety.
He’d add a couple on the powerplay to cap athorough evening. Jones, meanwhile, also net-ted a shorthanded goal to kick off the third.Picking up a pair each were Jackson Deckerand Peter McFetridge, while Jason Jones andDane Stevens added singles.
For Jones, the whole focus isn’t on goals, but
the ‘W’ on the board at the end of the night.“Our (defence) showed in the past two
games, letting in just two goals (each game)that it’s pretty top echelon this league,” saidthe Port Coquitlam product. “If we can get theoffence, put in 10 goals a game I’m pretty con-fident our defence can keep them to seven oreight and most nights we could win.”
After missing the playoffs last season due toa tiebreaker, the emphasis this time around isto lock up a spot with some degree of com-fort. Not so easy, considering the top five spots– with 5-4 Burnaby in fifth – are separated bythree points.
For Jones, the playoffs are Job One. As a ju-nior in PoCo, the playoffs were a pipedream.
“My last championship I think was in inter-mediate, (in) 2007, so that’s a while. I haven’twon a playoff series since I’ve been here so ifwe can get one of those under our belts andget to the finals, you never know what hap-pens. Anyone can beat anyone on any night inthis league,” he said.
The Lakers, who visited NewWest onThursday (past the NOW’s deadline) hostsixth-place Nanaimo at the Copeland ArenaonTuesday.
