Tech theft tops crime trendsWanda [email protected]

Ask Burnaby Chief Supt. Dave Critchley what’s changed in crime trends over the past 20 years of policing and he’s quick to talk about the advent of smartphones, the Internet and social networking tools.

Smartphones, iPads and tablets didn’t exist before. Now they’re the largest growing target for thieves and robbers.

From January to June this year, there were 125 robberies in Burnaby, compared to 157 during the same period in 2012, he said.

The reduction was mainly from a drop in robberies of businesses.

Of those, 99 were classified as personal robberies in 2012 and 98 in 2013. The numbers of those cases involving smartphones was also surprisingly consistent— 62 in 2012 and 63 so far this year.

With such electronic devices, “we’ve created an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of,” he said.

“It’s all about risk and mitigating it.”

People using such devices simply aren’t as aware as they should be of their surroundings.

“It’s as simple as walking down the street looking at your cellphone, walking into a lamppost or into traffic,” he said.

Burnaby to be home for soccer squadGrant [email protected]

The Canadian women’s soccer squad will train out of Burnaby’s Fortius Sport and Health Centre as it prepares for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be held in Canada and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The team, which was led to a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London by Burnaby

native Christine Sinclair and head coach John Herdman, will even reside in the Fortius Lodge rooms at the $61-million facility that also houses sports medicine and training facilities.

“We’re delighted to form this collaborative training partnership and to have the opportunity to base our training camps, programs and team staff in Burnaby,” said Herdman.

“Having these amenities and services under one roof will have a

significant impact on our Women’s National Team Program and I believe will help us reach the goals we’ve set for ourselves in the key

years ahead.”Along with access to

the Fortius Pitch, which is connected to Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West, the team will also be able to use its double gymnasium and other training and medical

facilities.“The facility was purpose-built

to deliver the widest range of sport

and exercise medicine and training services to national teams and performance athletes, but also to serve young people and adults of all ages in their pursuit of sport and active, healthy living,” said Lynda Cannell, Fortius chief operating officer.

“Having the Canadian Women’s National Team Program make us its training home will be a terrific showcase of what our facilities and team of practitioners and training specialists can do.”

Wanda ChOW/neWsLeaderBurnaby Chief Supt. Dave Critchley, here with watch commander Staff-Sgt. Ghalib Bhayani, says technology has created opportunities for crime, but also has been a valuable tool for law enforcement.

Apart from the obvious potential for injury, such behaviour helps advertise the fact you have these valuables on you.

All it takes is for someone to con a person into handing the smartphone over, by saying they need to make an emergency call, for instance, or using violence and grabbing it out of people’s hands.

Education is a huge part of policing these days, Critchley said.

“It amazes me when I see somebody go to a coffee shop and get all set up [at a table] with their iPad, then leave it to go to the counter to get a coffee. You’re taking a huge risk, you’re providing someone an opportunity to steal something.”

He said it’s behaviour he often sees with younger folks.

“There’s a naive belief your belongings will be where you leave them.”

In addition to education, RCMP and other police agencies have been working with industry

to establish a new system, effective Sept. 30, which would make stolen smartphones more difficult for criminals to sell.

The advent of technology has also meant the Burnaby RCMP can utilize the skills of crime analysts who can alert officers

to patterns in crimes—a rash of thefts from vehicles in a certain area where the culprits are using the same methods, for example—that they can then investigate, sometimes identifying prolific offenders and taking them off the street.

And while social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter can help police quickly disseminate information, such as when they’re searching for a

suspect or a missing person, they also create new opportunities for criminals. Critchley shakes his head while recounting stories of people announcing to the world on Facebook that they’re heading out of town for a two-week Mexican vacation, giving thieves a perfect window to break into their homes.

Then there are the Internet scams and identity thefts.

“Fraud is nothing new, it’s as

old as time itself.”Social networks also make it

far easier to sell stolen property. When Critchley started out as a police officer 32 years ago, “you had people who specialized in fencing stolen property.

“Now with social media you can go on a couple of different sites and you can facilitate much easier the sale. People [buying from such sites] have to be aware of that. You can’t be willfully blind.”

One of the areas police are perhaps spending more time on now than in decades past is in working with community resources to address the underlying causes of crime, whether it’s referring people to addictions or mental health services or identifying a youth at risk and steering them towards more positive activities.

While what they steal and the methods may change, ultimately the reasons behind criminals’ behaviour don’t really change over the years, Critchley said.

Underlying causes of crime don’t really change: Chief

The area surrounding Metrotown SkyTrain station is is continuing its massive makeover with the latest round of rezoning applications for 6280 Cassie Ave. and 6331, 6363 and 6377 McKay Ave., on the south side of Beresford Street.

Rize Alliance Properties Ltd. preliminary plan is a proposal to build two highrise apartment towers with low-rise, street-oriented commercial and residential components fronting onto Beresford and low-rise housing fronting onto Cassie and McKay.

The properties are currently home to four older apartment buildings, two at three storeys tall and two at two storeys, all of which are “in need of repair,” according to a city

staff report.Across Beresford is the

Metrotown SkyTrain station and Metrotown library branch.

Across the street on McKay a development is being planned consisting of a 38-storey residential tower with commercial fronting onto Beresford.

Across Cassie to the west is the site of another 38-storey highrise proposal by Boffo Developments Ltd. which is currently working its way through the rezoning process.

Burnaby’s planning department will work with the developer on a development plan to be presented at a future public hearing.

Stopping cellphone thieves

As of Sept. 30, it will be more difficult to sell stolen cellphones.

The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association and its wireless carrier members have started a national blacklist of smartphone and other wireless devices.

Anyone who has such a device lost or stolen needs to report it to their carrier to have its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number placed on the blacklist so that no carrier in Canada will activate it for a new user, making them less desirable for criminals.

For someone buying a used device, they can visit ProtectYourData.ca beforehand to check whether its IMEI number is on the blacklist.

A Burnaby man was arrested in Winnipeg on Wednesday after a parcel was seized at a Canada Post mail processing centre in Montreal containing opium.

On Sept. 17, a wooden picture that originated in Turkey was found to contain about 800 grams of opium. Although the package was destined for a Winnipeg residence, investigators believe that was not its intended final destination, RCMP say.

Hussein Khalilzadeh Nikbin, 47 (also known as Kevin Anderson) of Burnaby, and Patricia Louise Gauthier, 45, of Winnipeg, were charged with several offences, including possession of opium for the purpose of trafficking, importation of opium and conspiracy to import opium.

Nikbin and Gauthier were

remanded in custody and slated to appear in Winnipeg court Sept. 27. The investigation continues to determine if this seizure is linked to organized crime.

Police seek man wanted for fraud

A 51-year-old Burnaby man is being sought Canada-wide by Vancouver Police for fraud.

Hong Dong is believed to have found his victims from the Lower Mainland and Greater Toronto area when they

placed advertisements on Chinese websites looking for someone to exchange money.

He is now wanted for five counts of fraud over $5,000 in relation to a series of fraudulent currency exchanges, police say.

The public is reminded to be cautious when making money exchanges

with individuals they do not know or meet online.

Attempts by police to locate and arrest Dong have been unsuccessful and investigators believe he may have fled the country.

Anyone with information regarding Hong Dong or his whereabouts is asked to contact Vancouver Police at 604-717-3459 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Change from 1,000 to 1,200 slots to require rezoning approvalWanda [email protected]

Operators of the Grand Villa Casino want to boost the number of slot machines there by 20 per cent, from 1,000 to 1,200.

It’s a move that will require rezoning approval from Burnaby city hall.

The property at 4320 and 4331 Dominion St. and 4405 Norfolk St. includes the two-storey casino and the 23-storey, 200-room Delta Burnaby hotel complex which includes three restaurants and a parkade.

Over the years a succession of rezoning approvals have led to an increasing number of slots—300 in 1999, 700 in 2004 and in 2005, the current 1,000, said a city staff report.

The current development opened in 2008 and includes a 64,500-square-foot gaming area, a maximum 1,000 slot machines, 86 gaming tables and an entertainment lounge.

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited wants to increase the number of slots to 1,200 within the existing approved gaming area through an adjustment of its layout, the report said.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation has written to city hall saying it has reviewed the demand for gaming in Burnaby “and has determined that the Grand Villa Casino could support the proposed increase in slot machines.”

Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell, chair of the city’s social issues committee, doesn’t see any problems posed by the application.

“We haven’t had any problem with them down there, there hasn’t been any incidents with the police, they’ve been a model business for us, actually,” McDonell said.

The casino also generates about $9 million a year for Burnaby city hall, its share of the gaming revenues, which is used for certain types of one-time projects, reducing

the need to dip into taxpayers’ dollars, he said.

The Burnaby casino is the second-highest-grossing in the region after the River Rock Casino in Richmond, he noted.

“People are gambling whether we like it or not … It’s like prohibition. If you try to stop it it just goes underground. Here it wouldn’t go underground, it’d just go to a place where they can get it because there’s so much of it going on around the

province.”McDonell noted the casino

is not in a residential area but rather an industrial area near the Trans Canada Highway.

And there will always be a potential for people to become gambling addicts, he said.

If it gets the go-ahead from Burnaby council, city staff will work with the applicant to create a development plan to be presented at a future public hearing.

It started over carrots – the really fresh ones with the bushy green bits still attached.

The foliage hangs out of the plastic bag if you don’t trim it off.

And Gary the produce guy had the required knife, or utility scissors.

Simple as that, really. It doesn’t matter which store. It starts with an S, so take your pick of several.

After a few repetitions of this Saturday morning procedure, Gary observed that my teen daughter and I regularly did the family grocery shopping.

We’re obviously still close, and that’s a good thing, he opined.

Clearly, in her early years, I was doing something right as a father, because if I hadn’t, it would be too late for father-daughter bonding now, he told me.

I’m not sure why, but I found that quite reassuring.

I mean, Gary is not a psychologist, or counsellor. He’s a produce guy in a big supermarket.

But sometimes, the best advice, or sagest wisdom is issued by ordinary individuals who have been there.

Happily, you don’t need special credentials to dispense common sense.

Gary has a stock of that, developed from his own experience with kids and life in general.

I know a few people like that, although there’s only one produce guy among them.

Anyway, he came to know our names, and likewise. He had an advantage there, since he recognized my picture from the newspaper.

He was a regular reader of the paper, and usually had some germane comment to make about a local issue, particularly if I had written about it.

He agreed with my musings on most things, which was good, because who wants to be arguing politics or social values with

the produce guy on Saturday mornings.

Over the past four years, Gary followed our travels with keen interest. He marvelled that my daughter and I did a trip together somewhere every year, just the two of us.

Keep her close and communicating, he counselled, and she’ll get through all the trials and tribulations of teenhood without major issues.

And then he’d trim our carrots.After one of the occasions my

wife did the weekend grocery shopping, she remarked that there was a really helpful, pleasant guy in the produce section, named Gary, who chatted with her regularly.

Sure, we said. We’ve known him for a long time.

It was quite some time before Gary put one and two together, and came up with the same family, which is apropos of nothing in particular, other than it illustrates his consistency with his customers.

And that’s the point of this, I suppose.

In this rushed world of big box

everything, endless aisles, throngs of shoppers, and emphasis on speedy service, it’s unusual to develop even a superficial relationship with someone serving customers, let alone a first-name friendship that delves into matters such as raising kids and travelling the world.

He’s not the only one in our grocery store like that, actually.

We know Pam at checkout as well – who has graduated from university and is going to become a chiropractor, taking her training in California.

They make Saturday morning “country comfortable.” And they make their store more than a little bit special.

It’s more than customer service. It’s customer connection. Not every shopping interaction can be like that, but when it occurs, you just have to stop a moment and appreciate it.

Gary just retired a week ago.We’re sincerely going to miss

him.

Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

The best kind of customer service

Adrian Dix’s recent announcement that he is stepping down as the leader of B.C.’s New Democrats could have a ripple effect locally as potential candidates consider throwing their hats into the ring.

Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian is so far perhaps the most prominent name to say he’s considering vying for the job.

He’s received awards as a businessperson.

He’s had experience as a blue-collar labourer.

He’s developed ties amongst the myriad of cultural groups in his riding, home to 100 languages.

And he’s proven his mettle in Parliament, whether it’s holding the Conservatives’ feet to the fire or conducting a 13-hour filibuster over two-and-a-half days while serving as the Opposition finance critic during last year’s budget debate.

If he decides to run, Julian would be entering a field that unofficially includes MLAs Mike Farnworth and John Horgan, both runners-up from the last leadership contest, and potentially even Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, a lawyer with a definite gift of the gab.

The Globe and Mail included Corrigan on its recent list of potential candidates for the job, noting he has experience running a municipality deemed the best-run city in Canada and calling him “blunt and forthright.”

Whoever enters the race, the leadership contest will be a relief to many after months of uncertainty following Dix’s disaster of an election last spring where he managed what seemed inconceivable only months earlier—blowing a 20-point lead in the polls to lose an election that appeared his for the taking.

A new leader will give the party the sense of renewal it so desperately needs, and the party faithful a reason to look forward to 2017.

MARKETING MOVES COME TOO SOON

Call me old fashioned, but I remember a time when Christmas wasn’t even mentioned or seen until after Remembrance Day. I guess I missed the boat, but when shopping at Superstore tonight I looked up and saw the Halloween costumes and right across from them Santa Claus and Frosty. The last time I checked my calendar Thanksgiving was still two weeks away, Halloween a month away, Remembrance Day still six weeks away. For heaven’s sake, they’re still selling back-to-school and closing out summer stuff. Do we really need to have Christmas flashed in front of us three months ahead of time?

THOUGHTFUL GESTURE

What did I find in my mailbox yesterday, but a birthday card from Shelley.

What a kind and thoughtful thing to do.

PARKING PROBLEM

I would like to inform newer residents of the Parkcrest neighbourhood—as well as developers and city engineers—that in the area between Lougheed Highway, Holdom Avenue, Halifax Street and Kensington Avenue there is a bylaw regarding off-street parking dating back to 1994.

It states in part: “access for vehicles to all off street parking spaces shall be provided by a lane abutting the lot, but where there is no abutting lane, access may be taken from the street.”

I was curious to know why after almost 20 years of this bylaw, a house being constructed on Parkcrest Drive, mid block, which clearly has lane access, was being built with an attached garage in the front of the house.

So I went to city hall to find some answers.

Everybody I talked to at city hall was helpful and regarding the house in question, it was acknowledged a mistake had been made, but that since the house was already under construction, nothing could be done.

In my opinion having garages and driveways in front of houses will decrease on-street parking, making the street less safe for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists, especially at night and will increase the number of motorists doing U-turns, which seems to have become common practice in this city in the last five to 10 years.

It also under utilizes laneways, which were designed for garages,

carports and driveways.The face of Parkcrest

Drive has now been changed, with this house being the only one with the garage in the front of the house, due to the rules not being followed. I hope this is the last time this happens.

LISTEN TO THE PEOPLERe: Burnaby’s Animal Control Bylaw

The deadline for feedback to the city’s proposed amendments to Burnaby’s animal control bylaw have come and gone, and from the numbers provided to me by the Office of the City Clerk, it is clear citizens of Burnaby do not support breed-specific legislation (BSL). As of Friday, Sept. 27, there were 13 letters in support of Burnaby’s current BSL bylaws and 95 letters opposed.

It is time the City of Burnaby do the right thing and

remove breed-specific bylaws or face the consequences in the next election (Fall 2014).

LONG SHOTRe: TransLink referendum doomed, Metro Vancouver mayors warn minister

TransLink keeps wanting more and more money from taxpayers yet they always create flops.

Golden Ears Bridge was built too big and the King Edward overpass is wasteful in that it directs traffic to a one-lane bridge.

Both TransLink and the provincial government are making another big mistake with the Evergreen Line. Taxpayers never got to vote on that project, yet they are supposedly given the chance with other projects on the referendum. So how can TransLink succeed with a referendum?

A new “signature” liquor store is being proposed for the SOLO District project under construction at the southwest corner of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway.

Signature Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) stores are the largest of the provincial government-owned and operated liquor outlets which offer the largest range of products and special events such as product tastings.

The proposal is to open up such a store in the 48-storey residential-commercial tower now being built as the second phase of Appia Development’s SOLO project. It’s expected to be completed in 2015.

If approved, the store would be located on the second level over two levels of parking and retail space, and underneath 11

storeys of offices and 33 storeys of condominium apartments, according to a city staff report.

The proposal would fall in line with a liquor store location framework, adopted by city council in 2006, which called for the establishment of a government signature liquor store in each of Burnaby’s four town centres.

“The purpose of this objective is to offer equity and certainty for consumers throughout the City in terms of product availability, convenience, and stable pricing,” the report said.

A smaller LDB store currently in Brentwood mall is expected to be replaced by the proposed signature store, said the report.

The store would be located on Skyline Drive, a new street that would be built through the development site parallel to

Lougheed. And while signature stores

are generally open later than smaller liquor stores, such hours would be consistent with at least two other major commercial tenants confirmed for the project, Whole Foods Market and Shoppers Drug Mart, the report noted.

Burnaby’s planning department will work with the applicant to create a development plan suitable to be presented at a public hearing in the future.

Streamlined licensing for trades

Starting Oct. 1, eligible construction and trades-related businesses will only need one licence to work in Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, Richmond or Vancouver.

The new inter-municipal business licence will allow

businesses based in those cities to work in all the others for a single fee instead of having to obtain separate non-resident licences for each city where they operate outside their home municipality.

“Because our city is in the centre of the region, it is a great home base for contractors who work in many places,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who credited the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) for advocating for the change with city council. “We believe that this new inter-municipal business licence will streamline licensing processes and reduce costs for Burnaby construction- and trades-related businesses, helping them to be even more successful.”

“We are very pleased that Burnaby construction- and trades-related businesses will now be able to enjoy the cost – and paperwork – savings that come from having a single business licence that allows them to work in six municipalities,” said BBOT president and CEO Paul Holden.

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.

Grandma and Grandpa, who better?

Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?

The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.

Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:

General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”

If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.

Sensible BC campaigners demand access to SkyTrain ridersJeff NagelBlack Press

The campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana reform is formally complaining to Elections BC that some of its petitioners have been blocked from signing up transit riders at SkyTrain stations.

Sensible BC director Dana Larsen said canvassers have a right to campaign at rapid transit stations, where they can reach large numbers of people, but faced interference from Transit Police Sept. 25 at stations in Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey, and again at Surrey Central station on Sunday when SkyTrain attendants summoned the RCMP.

Larsen said TransLink, which is named in the complaint,

has already accepted Sensible BC’s legal right to canvas at stations and the incidents where petitioners were told to leave may stem from internal miscommunication.

“We just want them to leave us alone,” he said. “We’re allowed to canvas there as long as we’re not obstructing anybody or blocking their path or being rude or anything.”

Sensible BC is three weeks into a 90-day campaign to collect enough signatures in every B.C. electoral district to force a provincial referendum on legislation that would block police enforcement for possession of small amounts of cannabis.

“Because of the very limited time frame we have for this campaign, every day counts,” Larsen said.

Transit Police spokesperson Anne Drennan said that while

canvassing at SkyTrain stations is permitted, the petitioners in question had set up tent-like canopies, tables and chairs without getting TransLink permission.

“That’s the difference maker here,” she said. “You have to get permission to set up structures on TransLink property.”

She said that permission might well be granted – the petitioners just haven’t asked.

Drennan said canvassers aren’t allowed in the fare-paid zones, but they can canvas elsewhere in stations, provided they stay a minimum distance away from escalators and ticket vending machines so they don’t impede the flow of passengers.

Larsen isn’t yet revealing how many signatures have been gathered, but said he remains “cautiously optimistic” the campaign can succeed.

He said 2,500 canvassers are now registered and they’re getting more efficient at signing people up.

Larsen expects the bulk of sign-ups will happen in the second half of the campaign, closer to the early December deadline.

Pot petitioners complain of TransLink interference

Police seeking man for uttering threats

Burnaby RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding Angelo Sparks, who is wanted for uttering threats related to a case of domestic violence.

The incident took place in Burnaby on Sept. 27. Anyone who sees Sparks is asked to call police immediately and not to approach him, as he is considered dangerous.

Sparks is described as a black man, 178 cm (five-foot-10), 77 kgs (170 pounds) with brown eyes and black hair.

Anyone with information on Sparks’ whereabouts is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers.

Partnership gives more places to buy transit smart cards

Transit riders will be able to reload or buy Compass cards at vending machines in 18 London Drugs stores starting early next year.

TransLink’s partnership with the B.C.-based retailer will give transit users access to the machines at more locations besides rapid transit stations as the new smart card

payment system rolls out.“We wanted to extend our reach

beyond the stations to locations that touch a broader part of the community,” said Mike Madill, TransLink vice-president of enterprise initiatives.

Existing retailers who now sell TransLink passes and tickets will be able to sell preloaded Compass cards, but those outlets won’t be able to reload them or host vending machines.

London Drugs was selected to

host the in-store machines after a competitive bidding process.

Madill said no money is changing hands but declined to provide details on the deal with the retailer.

Passengers will also be able to reload cards by phone or online – it’s expected many will use a feature to set their Compass card to automatically reload from a connected credit card or bank account whenever the card value drops below a set level.

Vending machines will be more important to Compass users who want to reload the card using cash because they don’t have a credit card or bank account, or choose not to connect them.

The machines in London Drugs stores in South Delta, South Surrey, Cloverdale, Langley, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and the North Shore will be the only physical places to reload cards in those areas, which are far from SkyTrain stations.

Reforms urged to help curb gangsters, alcoholismJeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants.

That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms.

“The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around licensed premises,” Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich said in a submission to the review.

Rich, who chairs the legislative committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment.

He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters.

“It’s the licensed premises that primarily has the authority to have people leave its premises if it’s concerned, but that’s difficult with gang members,” Rich said.

The police chiefs association also wants the definition of public drunkenness expanded to allow the arrest of people intoxicated by drugs, and not just liquor. The submission also suggests the courts could order detoxification and treatment for the chronically intoxicated.

Another proposal would let police temporarily seize the guns of hunters they catch with open liquor.

Medical health officers are cautioning the government against letting liquor flow more freely.

They want the province to freeze or cut the number of private liquor retailers and ban online ordering and delivery. To combat disease from abuse of cheap high-alcohol drinks, they are seeking

a minimum price of $3 per standard drink consumed on site and $1.50 for off sales.

They also want pricing tied to alcohol content, so youth and others aren’t encouraged to buy high-strength drinks.

They oppose any decrease in the drinking age of 19.

The province has indicated it isn’t considering changes to pricing or taxation, which provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said is unfortunate.

“Policy measures such as taxation are the most cost-effective public health response to the alcohol-related disease burden in countries with moderate and high levels of alcohol consumption,” he said in own response to the review.

Kendall questioned the government’s top priority of increasing or maintaining government liquor revenue – ahead of the second principle of minimizing health and social harms – and argued health system and other costs

of alcohol use far exceed government revenues.

Meanwhile, a group called Campaign for Culture is promoting a return of happy hours and also urges the province to okay the sale of craft liquor at farmers’ markets.

B.C. is the only province that bans bars and restaurants from offering happy hour discounts in the late afternoon and early evening.

While the group supports

lifting the restriction, it argues for a province-wide price minimum to prevent irresponsible practices like two-for-one, all-you-can-drink or women-drink-free offers.

Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap is leading the liquor policy review and is to table recommendations Nov. 25.

SPORTSAlthough it’s the season for gorging on apples,

Malcolm Lee gorged on touchdowns at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna on Friday.

Lee scored a half dozen of them and racked up 333 yards in total offence to lead the St. Thomas More Knights to a 41-7 victory over the Rutland Voodoos in B.C. AAA high school varsity football action.

Lee rushed for 286 yards in scoring five TDs along the ground and another off of a 20-yard interception return on the only play he participated in on defence. Quarterback J.J.

Deslauriers threw for 106 yards while Shane Noel had 103 rushing yards on nine carries.

On defence, Kevin Marshall made 11 tackles while Noah Underwood had 10 and Raf Posypanko seven.

STM only held a 14-7 lead at halftime before blowing out the Voodoos in the second half.

The Knights will be at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West on Friday against the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers. STM (4-1 overall) headed into the weekend ranked fourth in the province while the Panthers (4-0) were fifth.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERWesburn Dragons forward Hamid Belalc Ahmadzai tries to win the ball back from a West Vancouver Storm 99 defender in an under-15 Silver match, Saturday at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West.

It looks like Mike Santorelli has found a home with his hometown team.

When the Vancouver Canucks released their opening day roster for the 2013-14 season, the Burnaby puck product was on it. The centre signed a one-year, $550,000 deal as a free agent with the Canucks during the offseason.

Last season Santorelli, 27, scored one assist in 10 games after being picked up by the Winnipeg Jets following his release from the Florida Panthers. He had scored 31 goals and 24 assists in 166 games for Florida. He was a sixth round draft pick of Nashville scoring two goals and one assist in 32 games for the Predators.

He also netted 74 goals and 97 assists over

three seasons for Nashville’s AHL affiliate the Milwaukee Admirals.

Grassi assigned to NailersAnother Burnaby native, defenceman Matt

Grassi, 24, will begin his first full year of professional hockey with the Wheeling Nailers after being assigned to the ECHL team by the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL, the Montreal Canadiens’ farm team, Sunday.

The six-foot-three Grassi played three games for the Bulldogs last spring after completing four years of university hockey with Michigan State. He played 121 games for the Spartans scoring three goals and 19 points.
