Burnabys Dawn Palmer has a mystery on her hands.A few months back, she started noticing workmens
gloves showing up on the floor of her home. Nylon ones,fabric ones, never in a matched pair, just singles andthey were found in the dining room, the back balcony andaround the front door of her South Slope home.
Assuming they belonged to her son, Palmer simply leftthem in his room and thought little of it.
Then I thought, Wait a minute, theres too many ofthem, Palmer told the NOW.
Her son decided to count the gloves, and dumped a bagof them on the living room floor thats when the familyrealized there was something strange happening. Therewere just too many gloves.
I kept thinking this doesnt make sense, Palmer said,suspecting their family dog was up to something.
It wasnt until a day or two later that the Palmers finallyfigured out who was leaving the gloves. Sienna, the fam-ily cat, had a history of bringing home presents for herowners and would announce their delivery with attention-demanding meows.
Sienna does her mew, mew, Im here, and I have a giftfor you, and shes standing right in front of the glove, andIm like, I cant believe this, you are the glove bandit!Palmer says.
The Palmers have had Sienna for years, and when thefeline was younger, she would bring home gifts: birds, rats,mice and moles, for instance.
I was in India, and my daughter sent me an email(photo) of a rat floating in our toilet, Palmer said chuck-
ling. I was laughing hysterically because obviously shejust dropped it in there. She loves to give us gifts, thatswhat they do.
But Sienna is aging and has put on a few pounds, so

Pipeline: Kinder Morgan brings in SFU expertsCan Kinder Morgan run a pipeline
through Burnaby Mountain? Thats themulti-million dollar question the companyis trying to answer by bringing in twoexperts from SFU, and their project willprovide information on earthquake faultlines for the entire Lower Mainland.
Kinder Morgan is working with SFUsJohn Clague and Doug Stead to help deter-mine the feasibility of the latest routing
option, which involves boring or tunnel-ing through Burnaby Mountain to connectthe storage tanks to the Westridge MarineTerminal.
(Clague and Stead) are going to beassessing all of the surficial geology andsome of these geological features, such asthe landslide on the north side of BurnabyMountain, said Greg Toth, senior projectdirector for the pipeline expansion. Thereare questions: Is there active faulting in theLower Mainland area, or is there not?
Clague and Stead are both research
chairs and professors in SFUs school ofearth sciences. Clague is a geologist whospecializes in natural hazards, while Steadis an engineering geologist with a focus onslope instability.
One important piece of missing informa-tion for Kinder Morgan is whether BurnabyMountain has fault lines of breaks in theearth due to landslides a question geolo-gists have not managed to answer, accord-ing to a company-commissioned review ofgeological reports and studies dating backroughly 100 years.
Pipeline controversy aside, Clague saidhes very excited about the project, espe-cially because they will use Lidar imageryto search for faults in the Lower Mainland,not just on Burnaby Mountain.
Lidar is a relatively new technologythat uses lasers to scan surfaces to createdetailed 3D images. The images Clague willbe working with were shot from aircraft.Surface vegetation can be removed fromthe images electronically, so scientists likeClague are left with topographical maps

A full-scale walkout eight days beforethe end of the school year threatens to cre-ate financial and organizational havoc forBurnaby teachers, but they say the sacrificewould be worth it.
I feel like Im witnessing something big,Cariboo Hill Secondary French teacher SarahWinter said. I feel like were at a point wherethis is the whole public education systemthats at risk, and I feel like we have to takea stand.
That being said, Winter has yet to look ather pay stub this week to see how rotatingstrikes and the governments 10 per cent paydeduction for the teachers job action willaffect her income.
Everybody else is talking about it, she
Sarah WinterIts a little bit of a hardshipright now, but I think the riskis worth it in the end becauseI think we all feel like werestanding up for something big.
Adam TaylorItd be nice if there was otheroptions, but theres not. Thestrike is the last option wereally have to see any sort ofeffect.
Kyle AxfordIts complicated. On one sideyou dont want to have the stu-dents put out, and also thoughon the other side you want tomake sure that the teachersvoices are being heard

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: CITY TEACHERS TALK ABOUT THE LOCKOUT/STRIKE
Cornelia Naylorstaff reporter
Teachers brace for full strike
As the labour battle between teachers andthe province threatens to wipe out the rest ofthe school year, local parents are scrambling tomake child-care arrangements.
Ads for teacher-strike child care are pop-ping up on Craigslist and Kijiji, includingposts by people saying they are educationassistants in the Burnaby school district whowill be available to take care of kids if teacherswalk out next week.
But parents should think twice before set-tling on an unlicensed and unregistered child-care provider theyve found online, according
to YMCA Child Care Resource and Referralprogram manager Diane Lee.
The parent would be the only one moni-toring the situation, so there would be lotsof questions, she told the NOW. Does thisperson have liability insurance? Are they overon their numbers?
Lee recommends parents get in touch withher organization, which offers free services forlocal parents and child-care providers.
Besides making referrals to registered andlicensed child-care providers, the organizationhas a wealth of information for parents aboutdifferent child-care options.
In response to the possible strike, the grouphas sent an email to providers to find out if
any will have temporary spots available.Then when parents phone, we will be able
to let them know if theres anybody on thedatabase, Lee said.
Earlier this week, B.C. teachers voted 86 percent in favour of a full-scale strike that willstart Tuesday barring a breakthrough at thebargaining table.
Teachers could also be off the job Mondayfor a BCTF study session, during whichteachers would review the unions bargainingpackage.
Local parent leaders are calling for clearand timely communication from both sides tohelp parents and kids manoeuvre through the

Excitement about the store was so great that more than 25,000customers visited on opening day.To this day, the Burnaby store remains in its original location, althoughour neighbourhood has grown. In 1986, Metrotown was built adjacent tothe Sears store. Sears Metrotown has been remodeled numerous timesand may undergo another makeover in the next few years as part of ourproposed development in Burnaby.For the past 60 years, Sears has provided a wide selection of high-qualityapparel, home furnishings, major appliances, mattresses, home electronics,furniture, outdoor power equipment and more at great prices.As a long-standing and trusted member of the Burnaby community,Sears recognizes the special bond we have with the people of this city.

There was no shortage of bylaws forBurnaby city council to look over onMonday night at its latest meeting, but notall of them made it through with flyingcolours.
Council went through seven rezoningapplications, including requests to permita sales centre at 4750 Kingsway, two four-storey mixed use developments in BurnabyHeights, a highrise with podium at 2450Alpha Ave., the expansion of the grossfloor area of a home at 7284 Braeside Dr.,a child-care centre on Lougheed Highway,a lowrise residential building on DawsonStreet and the installation of two skysignsat 3700 Willingdon Ave.
Before calling the question, Mayor DerekCorrigan clarified that the applications weresimply requesting to be received by councilas information and that approval or denialof the proposed developments would comelater.
These are simply permission to workwith the planning department and they willlater be advanced with reports, but it givespeople an idea of some of the things thatstaff are working on right now, he said.
Council received all but one as informa-tion, as they referred the Alpha Avenueapplication to the community developmentcommittee for further analysis after Coun.Paul McDonell raised concerns with itsrecommendation to amend the conceptsketch of the Brentwood Town Centre
Development Land Use Plan.First reading was given to a three-sto-
rey mixed-use commercial and residentialdevelopment at 7174 Barnet Rd., as well asa five-storey mixed-use development in theHeights.
Second reading was given to permit con-struction of a four-storey mixed-use devel-opment at 7604 Sixth St. and a residentialsales centre at 4700 Imperial St. However,council tabled a bylaw for a conceptu-al development plan for a multi-phasedindustrial business park in South Burnabythat wouldve otherwise gone up for secondreading.
Consideration and third reading wasgiven to a proposed three-storey stackedtownhouse development, totalling 20 units,at 7670 Kingsway.
On the spending front, more than$500,000 was OKd for road and trafficimprovements. Council gave its stamp ofapproval for designs of several major roadprojects, including the widening of RumbleStreet between Gilley and MacPherson,enhancements to Edmonds south ofKingsway to Salisbury and proposed traf-fic-calming modifications to Cariboo Road,Stormont Avenue and Gaglardi Way.
The rest of that $500,000 went to minortraffic management projects and varioustraffic control device upgrades.
The Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch ofthe Burnaby Public Library was given thethumbs up for $100,000 in furnishings andshelving, as well as $300,000 to add radiofrequency identification security.

As much as Paul Bjarnasonprobably defutes (Whereis democracy?, BurnabyNOW, Letters to the editor, June6) the existence of democracy, itdoes exist.
There is the correct obser-vance of a ruling party receiving24 per cent of theelectorate to govern.It is quite less at thecivic level, where amayor can win governing thecity with less than 15 per centof the electoral vote. With morethan 145,000 registered voters,Mayor Derek Corrigan receivesjust over 24,000 votes. Such isthe case here in Burnaby.
In 1996, the NDP receivedthe majority of the popularvote, but the B.C. Liberals wonthe majority of seats. Is thatdemocracy? Was it democracywhen the NDP won in 1991?Was it democracy when thefederal Liberals won in 2000?Now then, it is interesting thatdemocracy does not exist! isheard when the B.C. Liberals orthe Conservatives win via thisconvention, but when the NDPwins (as was the case in 1991,and 1996) or when the federalLiberals won (2000 and prior)there is this silence.
The entrance of BurnabyFirst Coalition to present schooltrustee candidates is hardlynew. There has been schooltrustee candidates from everyincarnation (BVNPA, TeamBurnaby, Independent Voices
and Burnaby-what-we-label-ourselves-this-time) since theBurnaby Voters Association pre-sented very credible candidates,one of whom led the B.C. SchoolTrustees Association at one timeand later became a council-lor. What might be new is that
finally maybe the forcesopposing the long-standing NDP-affili-ated Burnaby Citizens
Association can actually succeedthis time so that the BCA major-ity on both council and schoolboard s finally diluted. But giventhe history of the opposing forc-es, there isnt much to hope forat this stage.
Consider that for far toolong the opposing interests tothe BCA that have successfullyevolved in one label or anotherhave been plagued with man-agement fights, ego building,inability to work together as acohesive team, some poor-qual-ity candidates, and a few justplain dumb moves (such asan opposing mayor candidategoing after Corrigan in whichthe opposition mayor candidatealmost ended up being sued),sloppy research, and just plainpoor presentations of statingsound workable policies andprograms that the voters wouldlike to see.

Supporting discrimination is simply wrongThousands of B.C. lawyers have voted
to reverse the B.C. Law Societys decisionto accredit Trinity Western Universitysnew Christian law school.
While the final decision still restswith the Law Societys board of gover-nors, known as benchers, the3,210 to 968 vote can hardly beignored.
The arguments for andagainst TWUs law schools accreditationpits the red herring of religious free-dom against the hard-fought right to
not be discriminated against on the basisof your sexual orientation.
TWUs controversial covenant forbidssex outside marriage and defines mar-riage as a sacred relationship betweenman and woman. The covenant covers
staff and students at the privateinstitution.
After the Law Society ofUpper Canada in Ontario voted
against TWUs accreditation, essentiallybarring grads from practising in Ontario,the school shot back.
Representatives argued that highlyqualified graduates would be excluded simply for holding religious values.
TWUs supporters have also trumpet-ed the importance of pluralism, accept-ing a multitude of views.
This rings false. Would TWUs con-cept of pluralism include sharia law,despite its encroachment on womensrights?
TWU may be able to determine whocan attend its private school however,the B.C. Law Society does not have to
support its discriminatory position byaccrediting it.
Religious freedom is an importantvalue, but its not our only value, partic-ularly when it infringes on the rights ofothers. We believe love between consent-ing adults is more important than theright to restrict love between consentingadults.
We hope Law Society benchers makean ethical choice, because there are twothings this province doesnt need moreof: lawyers and intolerance.
Democracy ismade by voters
Rallying against smart metersDear Editor:
This Saturday, June 14, will be a day of pro-test and learning for everyone opposed to B.C.Hydros smart meter program. Rallies will be heldin Victoria, Kelowna and right here in Burnaby atHydros smart meter headquarters.This is locatedat 9265 Glenlyon Parkway, just off Marine Drive.The Burnaby Foreshore Park, located just across thestreet, will be the rally location. Events get under-way just before noon, rain or shine. If it rains, thatwill only show the dedication of those involved.
So far our local politicians seem to be too busyto attend. That would be rather hypocritical forMayor Derek Corrigan not to attend after he and
his council expressed opposition to smart meters ina recent letter to myself. And the ever-elusive JaneShin, MLA, has also been invited but seems to havea full calendar. Kennedy Stewart, our MP, has beennotified but hasnt responded as of this writing. Toobad for them if these politicians miss an excellentchance to look good on election day.
This rally will be a chance for all those interestedto speak but especially those who have been bul-lied, threatened with cutoffs and hit with Hydrosextortion fees for keeping their analog meters toexpress their views and fears about the dangers ofthese meters. Hydro has already failed in convertingenough people in order to turn on the radiation-pro-ducing ZigBee chip in the new meters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORSettle the big questionsDear Editor:
Re: Pipeline questions: From terrorismto expropriation, Burnaby NOW, May 14.
The article caught my attention as itrelated to a controversial topic. The articleoutlined the major environmental and eco-nomic risks in relation to Burnaby associ-ated with the proposed Kinder Morganpipeline. It criticized the companys emer-gency preparedness, effects on the sur-rounding real estate market and expro-priation concerns. Although all of theseconcerns are legitimate in their own right,it would be much easier for all stakehold-ers if there was a comprehensive, prov-incewide energy policy.
The biggest problem with this debate isthat it is centred on the challenges associ-ated with a specific project rather than ona more comprehensive approach to energyin our province.
In order to limit risks and move towards
a better, more sustainable future, we mustfirst decide on a set of energy priorities forthe province, taking into account our eco-nomic, environmental and energy needs.Deciding on such criteria in a clear mannerwill allow our province to make informeddecisions about the future.
Furthermore, we have to examine ouroptions realistically and decide where wewant to invest our resources. For example,alternative energy works well when dis-cussing the future and environmental sus-tainability, but do we have a realistic planto put it into action and are we ready tocommit to a changed way of life given thecurrent economic outlook?
Consulting on individual projectsbecomes easier if we settle the biggerquestions first.
A provincewide consensus on ourfuture energy requirements and plans thatconsider the full consequences to our ownway of life is the way to go.
Bushra Gabreldar, Burnaby
being a bit too politicaland not being easy on thetaxpayers), there isntmuch reason for the vot-ers to be mad enough tolaunch a long march for-ward to city hall with thevirtual torches and pitch-forks or make that trip tothe polls in huge numbersof the kind we haventseen in decades.
Democracy is out there.It does exist. Within it willbe up to the candidates tosell themselves and provethat they are worthy of thevote and the dollars paidby the taxpayer to buildand strengthen Burnaby.
A person to vote for ismuch better than votingagainst.
Myself, I look at a can-didate and ask myself:
Is this person worthy ofvoting for? Is this personactually going accomplishanything or is said persongoing to be complainingall the time? Its mucheasier to complain than tobe the person who is partof making the decisions.
Yes, democracy doesexist. It always has.
Sometimes you end upwith very good politicianswho serve the city and notpolitical interest. Someadvance to become states-men (or stateswomen).
But its the voters thepeople who make it work.Decide to stay home (asmany NDPers did in 2013,which resulted in thedramatic end)? Dont com-plain about the outcome.Ive seen where just lessthan plus-five votes can
make all the difference.Ive seen where plus-onevote makes a difference.
Civic elections are actu-ally the most important. Itis at the civic level wheredecisions are made thataffect our homes, ourneighbourhood and ourcity. But it is also whereone sees the worst par-ticipation rate, less than 35per cent at the most.
Democracy is verymuch in existence. It isyour choice, and yourvote. If you mark a ballot.
As Ive said heartilymany times in my 30 yearsand 60 campaigns beingout there on the streets forgood candidates:
Dont forget to vote!Have a nice day!

THE BURNABYNOW OPINION: Is there a better answer to teachersdispute? June 10Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Denise Flick: I am a teacher. I would not be afraidof binding arbitration in the least. It must be binding arbitration though not a Gov-ernment chosen mediator who then must work within the mandate of the Govern-ment.
THE BURNABYNOW STORY: Burnaby student protesters lament lowwalkout numbers June 4Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I capt. crunch: If the teachers were so concernedabout Johnny and Susie and their education, they would ask for less for a raise andhave the rest of what they originally wanted put back into the school system for thekids. There are some great teachers but the majority are just floating along for thepay, perks and time off while there is a small percentage who are probably a hin-drance to teaching. If the teachers and their union were so intent to do the rightthing for the kids as they seem quick to point out, they would also run picket linesand info lines 24/7 right through the summer around the schools to show the publicand parents that they are serious.

Palmer suspects the glovesare easy prey for the cal-ico.
Seriously, I thinkbecause shes too fat nowand cant catch anything,shes picked up this glovething, Palmer says, laugh-ing. Im just so happy itsnot mice and birds anymore. I would hate it when shebrought them home.
But catching Sienna inthe act only solved half ofthe mystery. Where thegloves are coming from isunknown, and Sienna keepsbringing more home.
Palmer feels bad, becausesomewhere out there, some-one is missing a whole lotof gloves, and her cat is toblame. Palmer has a fewideas on the origin of thegloves. She lives close to thecouple recently featured inthe NOW that installed thecontroversial massive stonepillars on their lawn, and
theres a larger constructionsite near Royal Oak Avenueand Rumble Street.
Then I started thinking,Could it be the school, isshe going to the school?And theres always newhomes being built, but Icant think of any, I dontknow its just so bizarre,she says.
Palmer estimates Siennahas brought in more than50 gloves in total and count-ing.
Shes still doing it!Every two days now, I find
another one, now I justthrow them in the bag, shesays. One day, I had thegloves in the bag, and I washolding the bag, and shesmeowing at me, as if to say:Those are mine. Its toofunny.
Palmer would be morethan happy to return thegloves to their rightful own-ers. If anyone is missing alarge number of assort-ed gloves, email her [email protected].

Its totally non-invasive. We dont needto get permitting to acquire it. Itsall acquired from aircraft. Its a toolto determine if there has been anyruptures from earthquakes, Claguesaid. Ive always said we have tofind out if there are active faults,and it plays into all kinds of risk andhazard-related issues.
Clague and Steads findings will verylikely have larger implications for the restof the Lower Mainland, since this is thefirst-ever survey of its kind for the region.
As for the pipeline, Kinder Morgan is
proposing two options for the new moun-tain route within the same study corridor.The first is horizontal directional drilling,which involves boring a hole through the
mountain and pulling the pipelinethough with the drill, which wouldcost the company $24 million. Thesecond option is tunnelling the linethrough the same corridor, whichwould cost $47 million. The thirdoption is running the pipeline down
Burnaby Mountain Parkway, then HastingsStreet and Cliff Avenue, which would cost$20 million.
Part of the companys rationale for goingthrough the mountain was to avoid theWestridge neighbourhood.

said. Im kind of afraid to look at mine.Like all new teachers without a con-
tinuing contract, she doesnt have theoption of stretching an annual salary over12 months, so summers are lean, and awalkout wont help matters.
I would be lying if I said that its notgoing to be difficult financially, Wintersaid. I think all teachers are feeling thesame way, but at the same time I thinkwere feeling like its worth it in theend.
Teachers around the province voted 86per cent Monday and Tuesday in favourof a full-scale strike.
The B.C. Teachers Federation told itsmembers in an email Wednesday nightit was serving three working days noticefor a full strike beginning Tuesday.
Unless a deal is reached over the week-end, school could also be out Monday fora BCTF study session, during whichteachers would review the unions bar-gaining package.
The union has already said it wontbe able to offer teachers their $50-a-daystrike pay after this week.
I live paycheque to paycheque, finearts teacher Joan MacLean told the NOW.I got my pay statement last night, andits quite a bit less than I normally get, soI cant pay my bills. Thatll be the hardest
part.Financial hardship wont be the only
challenge teacher will face if the walk-out goes ahead, according to MacLeansCariboo Hill colleagues picketing duringa rotating strike Wednesday.
Theres just so much year-end stuffto deal with as a teacher, music teacherKyle Axford said, and it gets really, real-ly tricky to try and do all of those thingsat the end of the year, and now if there isa walkout next week, then its going tomean that all that stuff is going to have tobe done by Friday.
But Axford and other Cariboo Hillteachers appeared unanimous in theirsupport of a walkout if government refus-es to budge at the bargaining table.
At the end of the day, the governmenthas the hammer if they choose to use it,science teacher Adam Taylor said, butthat doesnt mean we should stop fightingfor a better education system.
Home economics teacher Jayne Robertsagreed.
Its not something we choose lightly,she said. Its years of frustration. I feellike the government has walked into myclassroom and personally spit in my face.I really dont think that they know whatwe do.

rest of the year.Keeping parents up to date on devel-
opments as they happen helps, Burnabydistrict parent advisory council spokesper-son Jen Mezei told the NOW.
She said local school and union officialshave done their best to keep her parentgroup informed during rotating strikesover the last three weeks, but the labourbattle has still created a lot of uncertainty.
Parents have voiced confusion at themisinformation and false assumptions thatare around, Mezei said. It is confus-ing for some parents when the situationfrom district to district and even school toschool can be different.
Among parents specific concerns areprovincial exams, report cards, and finalmarks required for admission to post-sec-
ondary.On Thursday, the Labour Relations
Board ruled provincial exams for Grades10 through 12 and final marks for Grade12 students essential services and, despitethe strike, said teachers must superviseexams and submit final Grade 12 gradesby June 20.
The Burnaby school district is now inthe process of consulting with the BurnabyTeachers Association about how manyteachers would be needed to superviseexams from June 16 to 24 as per the LabourRelations Board order.
The district has said it would send a let-ter to parents this week outlining detailsabout report cards, provincial exams andyear-end procedures.
In the meantime it is warning parentsFriday could be the last day of school.

Burnaby resident KyleEmpringham and SujaneKandasamy were awardeda Youth Conservation Awardfrom the Canadian WildlifeFederation for their work onTheStarfish.ca, a website andnon-profit organization focus-ing on positive solutions toenvironmental problems. Thesite attracts more than 180,000visits per year, mostly fromCanadians aged 15 to 30. TheNOWs Jennifer Moreau had achat with Empringham.
Jennifer Moreau: Tell me thestory behind the starfish name.Kyle Empringham: A boy walksup to a shoreline and sees hun-dreds of starfish washed up onshore, drying in the sun. Hepicks one up, looks out at thewater, and tosses it back into theocean. He repeats this processa few times before a man walksup to him and says, There aretoo many starfish on this shore.You wont save them all andyou wont make a difference.The boy picks up another star-fish, tosses it into the ocean, andsays to the man, I made a dif-ference to that one.
The Starfish Canada is abouthow every contribution to envi-ronmental efforts can make adifference. From the conserva-tion of species to energy reduc-tion initiatives, we showcasea wide range of communityprojects that inspire and moti-vate our readers to take actionlocally.
JM: Is TheStarfish.ca an onlinepublication or an activist group?KE: We are predominantly anonline publication that providesa forum for youth to show-case the amazing work thatsbeing done across the country.Canadas sheer size makes itdifficult to understand what isgoing on in the environmen-tal field, particularly at a locallevel. Our community-basedapproach allows Canadiansto understand what youth aredoing to create a better futurefor our nation. We also host
workshops in local communitiesto understand whats importantto each area and how we canbest assist them in achievingtheir goals.
JM: Your group does workshopswith students on subjects like in-vitro meat. What is that and whatare the issues around it?KE: Scientists have come upwith a way to create meat in thelab no animal cruelty required.With this new innovation,we have gone to classroomsand asked students to debatewhether or not they would eatlab-grown meat. Its a great wayto think about a wide variety ofissues the ethical treatment of
animals, the greenhouse gasesthat are produced from raisingcattle and transporting meats,and more.
JM: Were bombarded with storiesabout worsening climate changeand oceans acidifying a lot ofscary and very real phenomenon,but youve chosen to focus on posi-tive solutions. Tell me a bit aboutthat strategy. Why is it so impor-tant to stay positive?KE: Environmentalism is some-times thought to be rooted inproblems. When you think ofenvironmentalism, you might bereminded of climate change orthe loss of iconic species or tox-ins in our air and waters those
are issues we have to overcometo have a healthy, clean com-munity. It can be downrightdepressing to think of all thechallenges we are facing. Ourapproach focuses on optimismbecause its productive. It helpsour readers environmental-ists and non-environmentalistsalike to see the way forward,that solutions are available andplausible and that we can worktogether to create change.
JM: What are our most pressingissues on the environmental frontin Burnaby?KE: I think the biggest issue onthe mind of Burnaby residentsis the proposed Kinder Morgan
pipeline thats now planned tocut through Burnaby Mountain.Ive seen and heard lots ofopposition to pipelines on theB.C. coast. Solutions will requirea consistent voice from Burnabyresidents and the municipalgovernment that states a clearposition on whether a pipelineis what the community wantsand for stakeholders to givethose opinions large weightingin the decision-making process.Making environmentally con-scious and sustainable commu-nities requires listening to con-stituents and letting them be thedriving force behind communitygrowth ignoring that would bea mistake.
The B.C. Lions Societyis hosting a relaythis weekend in
Swangard Stadium to raisemoney for the Easter Sealscamping program.
Its a 24-hour relay,running from Saturday at10 a.m. till Sunday at 10a.m.
People from all over theLower Mainland will runand walk in relay teamsthrough Burnabys CentralPark to raise money forthe camp program.
So if youre out for astroll in the park, be sureto cheer these folks on,because they will be run-ning for a good cause, tosend children and youngadults with physical andcognitive disabilities tosummer camp.

Question:I have had a wisteria for
several years that is full ofleaves and looks very healthy.But it has only produced twoflowers: one last year and onethis year. Please advise.
Madeliene Quiban
Answer:A lot of people have
problems with a wis-teria failing to flower.Sometimes its just tooyoung. Five to 12 years isthe average wait beforeblooming time, but sometake longer, especially iftheyre grown from seed.
If you inherited thewisteria when you boughtyour home, the wisteriacould be a seed-grown one,or perhaps a cutting froma seed-grown one. Besidesnot flowering for manyyears, seed-grown wisteriaare erratic bloomers anoccasional one never flow-ers at all.
Sometimes people takea cutting from an old wis-teria thats full of flowers but they dont know howmany years it took to getto that stage. Though cut-tings usually flower fasterthan seed-grown wisteria,cuttings still need severalyears of vegetative growthto get started.
The fact that your wis-teria has started flowering,even a little, is very hope-ful. But you can hurry yourwisteria along a bit.
For wisteria, a high-phosphorous (not high-nitrogen) fertilizer is bestbecause it encouragesflowers. Wisteria shouldalways be fertilized in fall(not spring). Wisterias likegood drainage, too. Couldyours possibly be growingon soggy clay?
Regular pruning isessential to keep your wis-teria from outgrowing itssupport and to stimulateflower buds.
In late summer, cut backthe new growth to five orsix buds and tie any thatyou want to keep to yourarbour. The wisteria willkeep growing through fall,so in winter you prune newgrowth back to five or sixbuds again, then in earlyspring cut back to two orthree buds.

The Mercedes-BenzCLA-Class joinsthe lineup in 2014,offering a sleek four-doorcoupe design for less than$35,000 a true accom-plishment considering thatthe CLA offers many fea-tures and design elementsthat make the car look andfeel much more expensive.
DesignMercedes-Benz con-
siders the CLA-Class anentry-level luxury product;but that does not meanit is not a premium car.Mercedes aim is to bringnew customers to thebrand through innovativedesign and premium fea-tures.
Mercedes pioneered thefour-door coupe designconcept with its CLS-Class.The description four-doorcoupe sounds odd, butits best to think of this car
as a coupe which has aset of rear doors to makeentry into the back seatseasier.
The four-door coupebody design does comewith one big advantage,and thats aerodynamicefficiency. The CLA boaststhe lowest drag coefficientof any production sedanat 0.28.
The CLA is based onMercedes-Benzs B-Classarchitecture; as a result itis noisier and less refinedthan its larger siblings.
Another byproduct ofusing the B-Class struc-ture is that the base CLAis front-wheel drive. Thismakes it the first FWD carMercedes-Benz has eversold in North America.
PerformanceThe base model, the
