Grants to spruce up storefronts

New Westminster’s Downtown Business Improvement Association is putting some money behind its purpose.

The association has launched the first phase of a program to provide grants and resources to businesses in the city’s Downtown to improve the appearance of their buildings and storefronts.

The money, which is being provided by a collaboration of BIA members and property owners, can be used for things like power washing facades or putting up new signage. It’s hoped those efforts will make the Downtown a more inviting place, as well as create a cohesive look to the area, said Maddison McKitrick, program and events coordinator for the Downtown BIA.

“Some buildings need a little more TLC than others,” said McKitrick. “We want to help property owners and business owners achieve their desired frontage that they can be proud of.”

The second phase of the program—to help renovate, restore and redesign storefronts, will be launched in September 2015.

The deadline for applications, available only to BIA members, is Sept. 30.

Wayne Wright is running for the job of mayor again in November’s municipal election.

If successful, it will be his fifth term. Wright, 71, said he’s still got “the fire in the belly.”

“When I look at the city and see the excitement that’s still brewing, I want to be a part of that,” said Wright. “It’s a feeling more than anything.”

But, he admits, in the spring he wasn’t sure he’d run again. His beloved Ford Bronco had been totalled in an accident, and he was working long hours.

An extended break through August and part of July that included a holiday in Australia reenergized him, said Wright.

“I’m not finished working,” he said. “I have to do something and my heart is still here in this particular job.”

Wright pointed to recent accomplishments as examples of the “leadership and vision needed for the economic and social needs facing our city.” Those include the new Anvil Centre multi-use civic facility, the “Wait for Me Daddy” war memorial statue being unveiled Oct. 4, and the establishment of Honour House, a respite home for military and first responder personnel and their families who’ve come to town for medical treatment.

“We have accomplished many projects, but we have more to do,” said Wright.

Those include the continued development of the waterfront, building a pedestrian connection to Queensborough and wrestling with the city’s ongoing traffic problems.

But Coun. Jonathan Coté, who’s already announced his

candidacy for the mayor’s job, said it’s time for a new perspective in the position.

“What we need in the mayor’s office is not necessarily one big mega project after another,” said Coté, who was informed by Wright of his decision to run in a private meeting in his office.

Wright admitted Coté presents a serious challenge.

“I know I’m up against a machine,” he said. “[Coté’s] young, he’s educated, he’s good.”

But he’s short on experience, said Wright.

“I’m just going to continue the way I am,” said Wright.

Coté said he welcomes the challenge of running against an incumbent.

“We’re hearing it’s time for a new direction,” said Coté. “I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t think it was time for a change.”

MORE HAPPY SELLERS AND BUYERS!

We began considering selling our townhouse in Burnaby in December and upgrading into a detached house if possible -- depending on what we sold our townhouse for. We interviewed a few agents to � nd the right ones that would con� dently sell our place and listen to our needs and wants for the new place.When we found Lyle and Sandy, they were quite happy and able to spend a fair amount of time ensuring we were comfortable with our listing price and the listing process and gave helpful feedback on what we could do to better our chances of a quick sale and closure.

As a team, they were simply amazing throughout the selling process. Their efforts to market and show the place were fantastic. They also really kept open and honest communication

about their impressions, potential buyer impressions, and market interest - something we really valued. Once we sold and moved out of our townhouse, Lyle and Sandy kept us up to date on the fast-paced detached housing market. Places were being sold before hitting the public MLS pages so their input on what was fresh on the market and a ‘good-buy’ was invaluable.

Lyle and Sandy were very professional but also very social and forthright in the way they communicated with us and we were assured that they always had our best interest in mind. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and text messages and were there for most of our major appointments which was appreciated.~ Daniel & Megan N.

When it was announced years ago that a big chunk of casino money, called Development Assistance Compensation (DAC) was earmarked for a civic centre in the Downtown, my first vision was a conventional recreation centre.

A gym, perhaps, and a bunch of programming rooms. But then they talked about convention space. And a theatre. And a museum. And, through public consultation, art gallery space and lots of space for community groups were added.

“Look at the results,” Mayor Wayne Wright said during a media tour of the Anvil Centre on Tuesday. “I think this one is going to blow their socks off.”

So you just might want to wear sandals if you go to the open house on Sunday.

Visually, it’s stunning. It’s got a sleek, modern-yet-classic look, blending light stone tile and warm wood panelling with metal and lots of glass.

And everywhere you look there are angles, angles and more angles. I can just imagine the builders finding out someone had replaced all their T-squares with

V-squares.The Anvil’s “anchor,” so to

speak, is its 350-seat theatre whose walls are clad in tile. It’s like a building within a building, the exterior walls plunging through the glass into the grand foyer, contributing to an illusion blurring the separation from the street. The theatre wall is pitched 11 degrees in the grand foyer, with three, 60-foot concrete pillars on the same angle.

Nothing is static in the Anvil.All over the facility are walls

that move. The grand foyer can open into the conference space next door, and boost the conference space to 9,000 square feet.

Walls fold away and disappear, or can emerge from nowhere.

The large glass doors fronting the building also slide open so events can spill out onto the

sidewalk.So far, interest in the

conference and event space is high. More than 100 bookings have either been confirmed or are in progress. Unions, Crown corporations, financial institutions, weddings and community groups. RE/MAX has booked a “super sales rally” on Sept. 25 with 400 realtors.

The concession, I’m told, will adapt its menu to the event or organization of the day.

Ascending the grand staircase to the upper floors, there’s the entrance to the theatre with seats that—surprise!—can be tucked away to transform the space for banquet tables. Or adapt from conventional format to theatre-in-the-round setting to allow, say, a soloist on a grand piano to perch in the centre of the room.

The Anvil is very much like a puzzle, with so many pieces that not only assemble, but re-assemble too.

On the second floor you’ll find the archives reading room, where you can tap into the city’s history.

And on the third, arts and culture in New West goes through a time warp.

There’s the Dufferin coach and a Model T Ford in the museum, but the gorgeous interpretive panels span more than 10,000 years, right up to the present.

And a special area called “Gallery 7,” intends to look at contemporary issues and concerns that are unfolding in New West, and bring people together to engage and discuss.

The New Media Gallery, unfortunately, wasn’t ready for viewing. But this could well have the biggest “wow” factor on Sunday.

And I haven’t even mentioned the art studios, dance studios and other programming space in the Anvil.

Regardless, you should go. Judge for yourself.

A few years ago, that block of Columbia Street was an eyesore, with a bunch of run-down shops and the ubiquitous cheque cashing place. The Anvil will infuse that block with positive energy. This is a big deal.

New civic facilities like this don’t come along often in New Westminster.

And this one is a [email protected]

Anvil will infuse Downtown with energy

Sunday, Sept. 14, is the 34th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run.

If you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian. But it is an incredible legacy.

It is highly unlikely that when Terry first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have.

An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp, of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name.

“You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family.

And so it began.Now, 34 years later, dozens of

countries participate in the annual Terry Fox Run.

The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name.

To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable.

The problem is the disease itself.

It is the most baffling disease known, because of its inconsistencies.

It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic.

It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer.

It can be deadly, but it can also be benign.

Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet.

Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.”

COMMENT

I read with interest the proposal and various letters about the Whitecaps’ USL team and the stadium at Queen’s Park.

I also closely followed the extensive and well documented Queen’s Park rejuvenation plans between January 2012 and May 2013.

I note that the report indicated the stadium needs upgrading.

Prior to moving to the city, I lived within blocks of Central Park and Swangard stadium for over 30 years, so I am well-acquainted with all that is involved with living in close proximity to a large stadium, even without soccer games.   

I closely followed all the various local newspaper headlines, letters and reports to Burnaby City Council about the team’s proposals to improve the stadium when they were granted MLS status in 2008.

After a somewhat lengthy and contentious time those plans fell through, and they moved from Burnaby to Vancouver, where the team’s proposal for a new stadium also fell through.

Both city councils seemed to find major fault and issues with who was footing the bills and for how much.  

Like others I am not impressed with the proposal.

There are too many “may” and “should” words about increasing local revenue, and recognition, and putting Queen’s Park Stadium on the soccer world’s map, and very little about the actual costs (which almost always end up being higher than anticipated) and who exactly is paying those costs.     

I am not happy that the city and its citizens are being asked to basically turn part of its crown jewel park over to a private for-profit corporation.

This area has virtually nothing in the way of pre/post game entertainment like pubs or restaurants.

Transit is virtually non-existent.

And 3,500 fans need to park their cars somewhere and pay an unknown amount for “family entertainment.”

Why is this necessary when there are so many other family entertainment opportunities in other areas where the

infrastructure is already in place?  

Queen’s Park is a suburban oasis of green space, used by a wide variety of people, which is something that is becoming more and more difficult to find in the Lower Mainland.  

I am not happy with how quickly the Whitecaps are attempting to push this process through.

As has been famously stated “marry in haste, repent in leisure.”  

N. HebertNew Westminster

What about preserving?

It’s disturbing to hear city officials refer to the “deteriorated” condition of Queen’s Park Stadium.

It’s disturbing because it matches what I would expect to hear from private contractors seeking another taxpayer-financed project.

I’m a structural engineer licensed in Canada and half a dozen states in the U.S. 

I’ve been to the Queen’s Park Stadium a number of times and have seen no problems beyond the superficial and cosmetic.

I saw nothing worse than minor areas of spalled concrete that can be easily repaired. Steel-reinforced concrete structures require little maintenance and, in the absence of cataclysmic events like earthquakes, sink holes, etc., they can last almost indefinitely. I have heard no reports of specific hidden damage or seen anything to suggest that the fundamental stadium structure is less sound than when it was built.

Homeowners don’t tear down their houses when it’s time to paint. This exceptional asset is already bought and paid for.

It should not be undervalued. We should look to Europe

as an example for building and preserving public facilities.

Big Ben and the Tower Bridge are not on the chopping block; and they’re much older than the stadium, the Front Street Parkade, and the Pattullo Bridge combined.

Instead we seem to embrace a “build it and tear it down” mentality.

I don’t get it.  We pay our city officials well

to screen out dumb ideas and to work above inappropriate influences. 

It’s getting difficult to maintain the faith.

CreW helped turn tideRe: Gillnetter on fire on the Fraser River

Captain Doug Leaney and the crew of the MV Native paddlewheeler, together with a small marine vessel from Fraser River Pile & Dredge turned the tide on a fire on the Fraser, helping extinguish the flames of the drifting Frances C just before noon Tuesday, Aug. 19.

With thick black clouds rising and flames reaching 10 to 15 feet, as a passenger aboard the sternwheeler I was struck by the calm professionalism in response to the crisis. They ensured their guests—mostly seniors—onboard were safely stowed.

This very real tragedy could have turned to calamity without the measured reaction of the captains and crews of each of these two ships.

Captain Doug ably navigated the paddlewheeler alongside the burning vessel. Avoiding the unfurled gillnet, and after ensuring the fire was under control, he edged his ship under the Pattullo Bridge and continued our Fraser River tour without breaking the rhythm of paddles striking the waters surface.

Our city should take special pride in the skill and integrity of these mighty river rangers. It is not their first response alone that is admirable, but the spirit in which they enter into this sacred trust.

It has always been so on the river.

As those who live and work on the river know, when the tide turns, they turn to one another.

Lorna Stewart is in the beauty business.

So it’s only natural the owner of Essence Hair Design and Fashion Accessories would want to make her Carnarvon Street storefront beautiful as well.

Every morning Stewart and one of her assistants pulled a giant rattan planter out the front door to the sidewalk. The 35-inch pot contained a garden of colourful flowers like poppies, with a green potato vine, surrounding a small fir tree.

As the tree grew to almost five feet, the planter became impossible to move, so Stewart left it outside to beautify the busy street around the clock. She figured since the pot now weighed around 200 pounds, it wasn’t going anywhere.

She was wrong.Three weeks ago one of

Stewart’s employees arrived to open the shop and immediately noticed the planter was gone.

Stewart was gobsmacked.“To know someone would

take something that makes the

neighbourhood look better, it’s just so sad,” said Stewart.

She called the police, but they’ve yet to get back to her with a file number.

She surveyed her neighbours in the strip of shops across from Plaza 88, but they hadn’t seen anything.

Stewart’s landlord checked the footage from a surveillance camera mounted above the sidewalk, but it was pointed the wrong way.

Stewart figures whoever made off with her beloved planter had to have done so in the middle of the night. And they would

have had to have help, possibly a dolly to transport their ill-gotten garden.

It’s not the first planter theft in the neighbourhood, said Stewart. A nearby sushi restaurant also lost a large decorative display.

Stewart said she has her theories about where the missing planters have gone, eyeing the condo towers across the street suspiciously. But until the case is cracked, she’s trying not to let the incident get her down.

“The flowers looked so much better. Now it’s just drab.”

Deadline looms for Caps’ proposalMario [email protected]

The clock may be ticking on the Vancouver Whitecaps’ proposal to put a minor professional development soccer team into Queen’s Park Stadium, but New Westminster councillors say they’re not going to be rushed into a decision.

The Major Soccer League team says it has to have an answer from the city about renovations to the venerable structure that would transform it into a soccer-only facility by Monday so it can meet a deadline imposed by the USL PRO league for a franchise application.

A memorandum of understanding between the Whitecaps and city that was reached in July to explore the

possibility of locating the team in New West has pitted soccer proponents against the city’s baseball community, which says it would lose the only full-size park available to its players.

And while each side has said it wants to be able to accommodate the other, the fissure only widened after Monday’s council meeting, held at the Queensborough Community Centre.

Dozens of delegates spoke for and against the proposal, often to enthusiastic applause.

“This is such a polarizing issue,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr.

But it’s one that will have to be decided by facts and economic realities, he said. “My decision will be based on does it make

economic sense for the city.”

Coun. Lorrie Williams said her initial enthusiasm for the project was tempered by the questions she keeps getting asked by the public but can’t answer.

“Emotions are high,” she said. “It’s a domino effect. If we do this then this must happen and that must happen.”

That includes finding a new location for a baseball diamond, not an easy prospect in a small city that’s tight for parkland.

Coun. Betty McIntosh urged her fellow councillors not to bow to the time pressure.

Coun. Jonathan Coté said the reality is there may not be enough time to adequately complete that process.

“I’m disappointed with the amount of information,” he said. “I don’t think there’s enough out there to properly evaluate whether this is a good opportunity.”

RD fears farmers may not gain from eased use of ALR landJeff NagelBlack Press

Lower Mainland politicians registered serious concerns about planned reforms to the Agricultural Land Reserve in a consultation session with B.C. government officials last month.

The province wants to loosen the restrictions on non-farm uses of ALR land to help improve the survival odds of struggling farmers and expects to introduce revised regulations by December.It’s considering allowing breweries, distilleries and meaderies on farmland, retail sales of food and beverages, and other options to generate extra business revenue from farmland.

The Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley politicians’ concerns are not with the principle of expanded uses to

support farmers’ economic viability, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee, but that there are “loopholes so big you can drive a truck through.”

Half the ALR land in Metro Vancouver is not currently used for farming and the regional district has actively campaigned for taxation reforms to discourage non-farm uses.

Metro’s submission to the agriculture ministry warns

there’s no assurance farmers will benefit from the reforms, rather than non-farm business operators and land speculators.

The submission says existing businesses may be unfairly penalized if looser rules on non-farm uses prompt their competitors to move from industrial or commercial zones where they pay relatively high business property taxes to ALR farmland with low agricultural tax rates.

Farm business reforms panned by Metro reps

Black Press file Farmers struggling to remain viable may get more scope to supplement their income with other business on ALR land. But Metro politicians fear the proposed provincial reforms will backfire.

QUEEN’S PARK STADIUM PROPOSAL: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON’T KNOW

WE THANK ALL OUR SUPPORTERS AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AT CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15 FOR THE VOTE

WE THANK ALL OUR SUPPORTERS AND HOPE TO SEEYOU AT CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15 FOR THE VOTE

WE THANK ALL OUR SUPPORTERS AND HOPE TO SEEYOU AT CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15 FOR THE VOTE

WE KNOW THAT…• New Westminster Baseball was informed of the

Whitecaps’ proposal 10 minutes prior to a news release on July 8, 2014.

• The Queens’ Park Master Plan does not include the building of a new soccer stadium.

• The Whitecaps’ proposal will not “save” the Stadium from demolition, as has been suggested, since it was never in jeopardy of being torn down because of its heritage value.

• The Queens’ Park Residents’ Association stated that 58% of their members voted in favour of the proposal; in fact 29 of 50 respondents supported the proposal—far short of a majority of the Queen’s Park residents.

• The Chamber of Commerce reported that 80.3% of its members supported the proposal. However, the Chamber of Commerce Director con� rmed he was unsure if all members were polled, and that only approximately 105 businesses responded. 

• Relocating the lost diamond to the south � eld of Queen’s Park, as suggested by the Parks Board, would entail the removal of 37-40 trees.

• The Whitecaps had yet to provide a cost projection to the Council, with less than one week from their imposed deadline for a decision

WE STILL DON’T KNOW…• The full cost of this proposal including: Stadium

refurbishment, the new turf � eld and relocation of baseball diamond(s).

• The � nancial bene� ts to the City: amount of rent to be received has not been disclosed.

• The length of the Whitecaps’ tenancy commitment. • If a business plan exists for the proposed USL

franchise.• If an impact study has been completed.• Whether the project can be completed in time for

the 2015 season, nor what � nancial penalties the City could face if it is not ready.

• How this proposal could affect the budget that has already been passed by City Council.

• What other Parks, Culture and Recreation projects would be delayed if the City were to embark on this endeavour?

• How parking, traf� c and transit issues will be handled and who will pay for these.

• How often the community will be “allowed” to use the Stadium for special events or under what conditions.

• Whether teams other than the USL franchise will also play at the Stadium and what impact this

New West Baseball has been in the Stadium for 15 years and has invested $60- $70,000 through our fundraising efforts into the playing surface, scoreboard, batting cages, etc.

We consider the Stadium our home.

“The decision would create a ‘slippery slope’ situation that could easily result in an escalation of agricultural land values to the extent that farmers would be unable to afford land in the ALR,” it says.

“I can see all sorts of businesses buying up farmland thinking ‘We can operate our body shop on farmland,’” Delta Coun. Ian Paton said.

Metro opposed most of the proposed changes in its submission, urging the province to shelve them and first bolster enforcement of rules that ban illegal fill dumping on ALR land, retail sale of products that come mostly from off the farm and to deter the building of giant country estate mansions on farmland.

Paton also questioned how any eased business restrictions can be enforced since the Agricultural Land Commission has just two bylaw enforcement officers to patrol the entire province.

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves noted wineries already set up on ALR land could conceivably add restaurants and banquet halls that could and should instead be built on commercial land within urban areas, where they’re better served by transit and utilities.

Non-farm uses have been granted in the past but must under the current rules be approved by the ALC.

Steves noted the Ocean Spray berry processing plant in Richmond was approved and built under the existing regulations.

Metro has also budgeted $20,000 to work with cities, the province and farmers to investigate potential reforms to property tax policies that could spur more actual farming of farmland.

second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.

Question of the WeekDriveway introduces our new northern B.C. based writer Mike Zacharias today. He challenges the image of the truck being the northern choice by testing a Ford Fiesta. What would you like Mike to test in the Prince George area?

City commuter handles the northern roadsSubcompact cars are set up to be basic transpor-tation with emphasis placed on low cost and great fuel economy. That said, you might think they are all a bit boring and not very fun to drive or even very interesting to look at. This is not the case on the 2014 Ford Fiesta: it has had a face-lift and features more standard options than in the last model year. Usually little sub-com-pacts like this come with more plastic than a TV sports reader. The Fiesta feels different. You do get some plastic to be sure but the dash has softer materials and some of the plastic around here actually looks and feels good. For the price ($19,990 as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a bit naughty, as if maybe you have stolen a more expensive car than you can actually afford. I would love to be able to afford an Aston Martin as my daily commuter car but at this point in my life that is not an option. With the redesign, you do get the Fusion / Aston front-end styling. Now some people might say, “Well it looks too much like an Aston.” Really? That’s like someone telling a girlfriend that she looks too much like Scarlett Johansson; you’re not really going to complain, are you?

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it drives or feels like an Aston but it is great fun to drive, handles our roads very well and all the tech options needed to keep your eyes on the road are available. The SE model I drove came with Bluetooth, satellite radio, navigation, power locks, windows, and the My Ford Sync.I drove the Fiesta around Prince George and practicality wise it didn’t skip a beat. As I live downtown, anywhere I go in my daily life I am always driving right through the heart of the city. When I headed out

to the hockey rink, I was able to put all of my goalie equipment into the back, no problem. Parking in cities is increas-ingly becoming a premium. Parking a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a breeze even without a backup camera! As some people with larger vehicles will know, parking at places like malls in and around the city the spaces are tight with not a lot of movement space for bigger vehicles. In addition, of course, it does get worse in wintertime when the snow is piled high. With that in mind, how will it handle our winter roads?The Fiesta has good ground clearance for a smaller car and handling our

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-com-pact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.View our Ford Fiesta video review online at DrivewayCanada.ca

They crash and smash many cars in Hollywood.A few months ago we

looked at five dramatic destructions here are some more to make you weep.

1964 Aston DB5 Martin (“Skyfall”): In the rebooted James Bond world of Daniel

Craig, Bond is seen to have won the DB5 in a card game in the movie Casino

Royale. The film’s villain, played by Javier Bardem, puts its nose-mounted

machine guns to good use in an attempt to repel an assault.  Sadly, Bond’s Aston is strafed into Swiss cheese.  Happily, the car was actually a prop made to look like a real DB5.

1985 Corvette (“The Big Lebowski”): A 14-year-old kid named Larry Sellers has likely stolen Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski’s (Jeff Bridges’)  battered Ford Torino, possibly containing a large sum in ransom money.  The Dude and his extremely anger management-challenged bowling buddy Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) head for little Larry’s house. On the way in, they’re dismayed to find a red 1985 Corvette parked in front of the house and they figure the kid has already started to blow the money.  When standard interrogation techniques prove fruitless, Walter takes a crowbar to the Corvette’s glass. The Corvette turns out to be the neighbour’s car.

1941 Lincoln Continental (“The Godfather”): You could always count on the hot temper of Sonny Corleone. The Barzini Fam-ily certainly did. They also knew that when Carlo, the abusive lowlife husband of Sonny’s sister Connie, would hit her, Sonny would respond by unleashing the Hiroshima of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns.  The result was not pretty for either Sonny or the Lincoln.

1979 Chevrolet Ca-maro Z/28 (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”): The Camaro was owned by intimidating high school football prospect Charles Jefferson (played by the great Forrest Whitaker in

one of his earliest roles). Jefferson’s little brother and surfer/stoner Jeff Spiccolli (Sean Penn) take the car cruising one night in the San Fernando Valley and wreck it. Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken. Rather, the damage is blamed on car thieves from a rival high school whom Ridgemont is playing in a big football game. An incensed rhino-like Jef-ferson is seen later deliver-ing paralytic revenge hits in the subsequent game.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE convertible (“The Hangover”): Future father -in-law entrusts his non-Car Guy future son-in-law with his treasured Mercedes con-vertible for a pre-wedding jaunt with friends. Granted, they were supposed to be heading to sedate Califor-nia wine country, but they go to Vegas instead. The extreme body dam-age that the handsome Benz suffers is predictable for anyone who has seen “Animal House.” The damage done to the interior by Mike Tyson’s pet tiger? That’s novel.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Former B.C. government communications director Brian Bonney and a former B.C. Liberal Party employee have been charged under the Elections Act for providing undeclared help to the party in its unsuccessful by-election campaign in Port Moody-Coquitlam in 2012.

B.C.’s criminal justice branch confirmed Monday that the charges against Bonney, Mark Robertson and a company called Mainland Communications relate to assigning a staff member to work on the by-election campaign for Dennis Marsden, who was defeated by former Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini in the by-election.

Bonney is a Burnaby resident who previously served as campaign manager to former Burnaby-Lougheed Liberal MLA Harry Bloy.

As well as previously owning and operating two telecom companies, Bonney has long been active in politics with the BC Liberals, and at the civic level, having run unsuccessfully for mayor in 2002 under the Team Burnaby banner and for council in 1993 with the Burnaby Voters Association.

Charges were approved by special prosecutor David Butcher, appointed in August 2013 to investigate the government’s multicultural outreach plan that resulted in Bonney and Premier Christy Clark’s deputy chief of staff resigning when it was leaked to the opposition.

The charges are not connected to the outreach plan, which was revealed to have attempted to use government resources to bolster the party’s popularity with ethnic voters in the 2013 general election.

Butcher expects that

investigation to continue until early 2015.

The three charges relate to former government caucus employee Sepideh Sarrafpour being assigned to work on Marsden’s by-election campaign, without declaring the work as an election expense.

Sarrafpour’s role in the

ethnic outreach plan was as a contractor to work on events such as a formal apology by the B.C. government for the head tax on Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century. A leaked memo detailed a plan to compile lists of ethnic community members from such events for use by the party in the 2013 election.

The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants.

Description of the Project

The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal.

New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC.

The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website.

Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing

Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.

Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so.

The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate.

While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.

Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section.

The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca

under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion

This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has increased its projected surplus for the year to $266 million, up $87 million from the July budget estimate.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said taxation and natural resource revenue are running ahead of projections, based on results of the first quarter of the fiscal year. That was offset by unexpected costs for flood control this spring and a forest fire season expected to be one of the costliest on record at $350 million.

The budget surplus is enough to provide a pay increase and other improvements to striking teachers, but what the union is currently asking for amounts to $315 million more than the government is offering, this year and every subsequent year, the finance ministry calculates.

De Jong said giving in to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation demands, including their proposal for class size and

special needs support, would equate to an increase of $140 a year for the average personal income tax, or 4.8 cents per litre in gasoline tax.

Increasing the government’s offer or gambling on the results of binding arbitration would have a ripple effect on other public service unions, both those who settled for less and those who still have to reach agreements under

the government’s bargaining mandate, he said.

NDP critic Carole James said arbitration in the teacher case isn’t “opening the flood gates.

“In fact binding arbitration when the parties are close, will take a look at the pattern of settlements, will take a look at the money that’s on the table, will take a look at the two parties, and resolve this,” James said.

B.C. surplus won’t sweeten teacher offer

Tom FleTcher/Black PressFinance Minister Mike de Jong said he’s disappointed with the slow job growth in B.C.

The massive slide of 1913 into

the Fraser River decimated the

salmon population, which took

decades—and, in the end, a massive

intervention—to recover.

PhOTO COUrTesY hell’s GaTe aIrTraM

I was off the grid on vacation and enjoying one of B.C.’s pristine lakes when the news

of the Mount Polley Mine reached me.

I had no access a computer or even a newspaper until my return to town. That’s when I finally grasped the scale of the disaster. It was a lot to process. So much more than a “spill,” the scale of the accident was such that responsible parties have moved right past the emergency response phase and into a long term clean-up project.

The disaster called to mind another catastrophe: the 1913 slide at Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon. Construction of the railway through the canyon triggered a massive rock slide into the Fraser River. An estimated 76,000 cubic meters of debris filled the narrow canyon, essentially damming the salmon runs and forcing the Mighty Fraser to squeeze through a narrow passageway between jagged rocks. The speed and strength of the current was such it was impossible for salmon to swim upstream back to their spawning grounds.

Immediate efforts to remove debris, dredge the canyon and even transport salmon over the debris in aboriginal baskets and dip nets weren’t

enough to prevent the virtual destruction of the salmon runs and collapse of the fishery. Over the next years, salmon stocks were reduced so drastically that an estimated 20 per cent of the aboriginal population in the canyon above Hell’s Gate was lost to starvation and malnutrition. By 1921, the stocks were only at six per cent of their pre-1913 levels. Surveying the Fraser sockeye in 1938, scientists from the Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission realized the blockage conditions at Hell’s Gate needed to be overcome permanently if salmon was to ever recover. This led to the building of fish ladders in the mid 1940s. Also known as fish ways, these protected areas provide salmon with rest areas and a gentler route where the current is reduced but still present and strong enough to attract the fish upriver. It took more than 30 years for a solution to be found and more than a century for the salmon stock to somewhat recover.

Many variables make the Hell’s Gate and Mount Polley Mine disasters very different.

But I can’t help make the comparison. Like the accident at Mount Polley, the extent of the disaster at Hell’s Gate was such that no one was equipped or knew how to handle the mess at the time. It also appears that few realized immediately the long term impact of the slide and the danger to salmon.

But I take comfort in the eventual successes of remediation at Hell’s Gate. The slide challenged us to learn, find solutions, invent and conquer. Thirty years of work was required to fix the damage.

But today, Hell’s Gate fish ways stand as a monument to man’s dedication and ingenuity.

I hope the Mount Polley disaster can trigger the same ingenuity and dedication. Above all, I hope the possibility of such disaster is eliminated through better preventative measures, closer monitoring and higher accountability.

We escaped from the Gates of Hell once before. We may not always be able to pull off that stunt!

Catherine Ouellet-Martin is executive director of the Fraser

River Discovery Centre.

By Kerry Vital

Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there.

“We build homes that we care about,” he says. “Th ese are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.”

Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, Th e Summit

Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a nature-lovers dream. Th om Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities.

“Th ese views are to-die-for,” Chester says.Th ere are controlled and registered

building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.

Th e 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre

site are available in a range of fl oorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfi nished basement.

Curb appeal is not in short supply at Th e Summit Residences, with their Craft sman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage.

“No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options. We’ve done some really interesting things.”

Inside, spacious open-concept fl oorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fi ll the space. Hardwood laminate fl ooring

throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fi replace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room.

Th e gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience.

Th e elegant ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and fl oating under-lit hardwood cabinet. Th e dual undermount sinks are convenient for couples, while the modern oversized tiles are cool and inviting.

Th e Summit Residences are just minutes away from the everyday necessities of life such as shopping, dining and education. A local coff ee shop, deli and food mart are just a few things that are just minutes away.

Natural Gas

$835

Before buying compare space & water heating costsWhen you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.

Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator.

*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.
