NEW WEST’S FIGHT IS ABOUT CIVIC PRIDE

AN INVITATION TO A WILD RIDE

FRIDAYJULY 6 2012

’Boro could join new ridingBoundary changes ‘strange’: MPGrant Grangernewwestnewsleader.com

Queensborough could be separated from the rest of New Westminster on the federal riding map if proposed boundary changes are adopted.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia is proposing Queensborough become part of the new Richmond East riding. It is currently part of Burnaby-New Westminster, but the commission’s draft boundaries put mainland New Westminster in a New Westminster-East Burnaby riding, which would include southeast Burnaby (the area north of Grif ths Drive from 10th Avenue to Kingsway, then Sperling to the freeway, which would be the northern border).

Since 2003, New Westminster has been served by two ridings, Burnaby-New Westminster, currently held by the NDP’s Peter Julian, and New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody served by New Democrat Fin Donnelly. Eighth Street divides the two ridings.

A line from a short poem inscribed on the facade of the Plaza 88 building in Downtown New Westminster is meant to evoke visions of the city’s history.

One of the nal tweaks to the project currently being built is a line on the Columbia Street facade that reads, “In making Canada, a tented canopy set upon a hill ...”

It’s a line from a very short poem written by Graham McGarva, a founding partner of VIA Architecture, designers of the building.

McGarva said the line is about the city’s earliest days when the Royal Engineers designed and built the area’s earliest infrastructure.

“It’s referring back to Col. Richard Moody setting up the encampment up on the hill and they were laying out the communication network, the trails at rst, and then the harbour, then the telegraph and then the interurban railway,” said McGarva. “It’s referring to those soldiers up on the hill.”

He said it also refers to other encampments from different workers and parts of society that emerged in the early years, including Chinatown.

“I’m trying to capture both the noble and the modest parts of New Westminster’s history.”

McGarva said not many cities can say they were part of making Canada.

New Westminster played that role in 1859 when it became the capital of British Columbia when it was moved from Fort Langley.

“It was a key moment in making this country.”

A comment to Rhonda Larrabee from her mother is the inspiration for the Eighth Street facade which has a quote saying, “I will tell you once, but you must never ask me again.”

Larrabee is the Chief of the Qayqayt First Nation that lived in New Westminster along the Fraser River. A smallpox epidemic reduced its population from about 400 to less than 100. Many of those who survived were assimilated into other local reserves or drifted away, and the government seized the band’s reserve lands in 1916. One of its members, Marie Lee Bandura moved to Chinatown to live with her sister, and when she married raised her children as Chinese.

NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS OPPORTUNITY REGARDING“Civic Facilities, Road Maintenance and Park DevelopmentLoan Authorization Bylaw No. 7528, 2012”Elector response forms may be obtained at the New Westminster City Hall Information Desk, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster. Completed forms must be dropped off at the Information Desk or delivered to the City Clerk’s Offi ce, City of New Westminster, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, B.C., V3L 1H9, by 4:30 pm on Tuesday, August 7th, 2012.

Pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, the City of New Westminster is proposing to seek the assent of the electors of the City of New Westminster by an alternative approval process. This alternative approval process applies to the entire City of New Westminster. The question before the electors is whether they are opposed to New Westminster City Council adopting “Civic Facilities, Road Maintenance and Park Development Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 7528, 2012” (a bylaw to fund capital works projects relating to the City’s Civic Facilities, Roads and Parks), without fi rst obtaining the assent of the electors by voting.

The proposed bylaw authorizes City Council to borrow for the stated purpose by way of debentures a sum not exceeding Fifty Nine Million Dollars ($59,000,000) repayable not later than twenty (20) years from the date of issue of such debentures.

The number of eligible electors in the City of New Westminster is estimated to be 45,273. Council may proceed with adoption of Bylaw No. 7528, 2012 unless, by the deadline set out below, at least 10% (4,528) of the estimated number of electors of the City of New Westminster sign an alternative approval process elector response form indicating that Council may not proceed with adoption of the bylaw without fi rst receiving the assent of the electors by voting.

INSTRUCTIONS:• If you are opposed to the adoption of the bylaw without it fi rst receiving assent

of the electors by voting, you may sign an alternative approval process elector response form.

• If you are not opposed to the adoption of the bylaw, you need do nothing.

• Alternative approval process elector response forms will be accepted only if they are in the form established by the Council of the City of New Westminster. The forms are available at the New Westminster City Hall Information Desk, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster.

• Alternative approval process elector response forms must be submitted to the City Clerk, City of New Westminster, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, B.C. V3L1H9. The deadline for submission of signed forms is on or before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

• Accurate copies of the elector response form may be made and used for signing.

2012 FRESHET UPDATEThe City of New Westminster would like to advise residents and businesses that the threat around high water and the potential for local fl ooding due to the spring runoff has now ended. The BC River Forecast Centre has advised a signifi cant amount of snow melt has occurred across the province resulting in a normalizing of river levels. Temporary measures and staging equipment in areas adjacent to the Fraser River will be removed over the next few weeks.

We would like to thank all resident associations for their assistance in distributing information and updates to their neighbourhoods during the recent high streamfl ow advisory. The City would also like to recognize the critical role played by key partners in the region including Environment Canada, BC River Forecast Centre, BC Ministry of Environment Water Stewardship Branch and Emergency Management BC.

The City of New Westminster is committed to promoting public safety. We recognize the importance of collaboration and working together towards a disaster resilient community and region before, during and after any emergent situation.

Festival to feature screening of The Princess BrideGrant Grangernewwestnewsleader.com

Amongst her many titles—school trustee, community organizer, community activist and mom—MaryAnn Mortensen may just be adding meteorologist.

As part of the organizing committee for the “third” annual Summerfest in Grimston Park on July 14, Mortensen has been scouring the long-range forecast and researching weather patterns daily.

Who can blame her? After all, last year’s “second” annual Summerfest had to be called off because of rain, and until this week summer had yet to arrive even though the calendar says it had.

“I’m so excited,” said Mortensen on Tuesday. “The weather’s going to turn.”

Summerfest evolved from the West End community’s ght against a proposal to build an elementary school on the park site. Fellow organizer Briana Tomkinson asked Mortensen, “What are you going to do now?”

After a hearty chuckle, Mortensen realized Tomkinson was serious and so she suggested a festival to raise the park’s pro le and show why it was so important to keep it.

“I wanted to heal the

community, because there were people, who for their own good reasons, wanted to build a school there and those wounds needed to be healed,” said Mortensen.

The rst Summerfest was a success with the feature attraction being the late night showing of the classic family movie ET.

The Princess Bride was slated for last year, and will make its return this year, on the in atable big screen on July 14. Show time is 9:30 p.m.

The festival, which begins at 2 p.m., will have music by The Real Canadian Rock Band and Caitlin Beauregard, face painting, water play activities (the wading pool is open until 8 p.m.), and crafts.

At 3 p.m., there will be picnic games of yesteryear such as three-legged races and balloon tosses.

The Royal City Farmers Market will run a mini-market from 3 to 7 p.m.

Mortensen said a last-minute addition to the entertainment is a 21-foot oating replica pirate ship that res off a cannon provided by the Shriners.

“I’m really grateful for them coming on so late in the game,” said Mortensen.

She praised fellow committee member Sloane Drennan for taking the reins this year and doing the lion’s share of the work, as well as Tomkinson and newcomer Lana Wakelam.

After it’s over, the four may be so versed in weather patterns they’ll qualify for climatology certi cates.

Tragic end for mother accused of manslaughter

A New Westminster woman charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of her infant son a year ago has taken her life.

Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in a news release Joyce Dobranski, 32, committed suicide on June 28.

In the early morning hours of June 22, 2011 New Westminster police got a call from a woman wanting help because her six-month-old son was hurt.

He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital and then BC Children’s Hospital where he died three days later.

IHIT was called in and on March 13 of this year determined there was enough evidence to lay a manslaughter charge.

Spokeswoman Jennifer Pound said IHIT will not make any comment on either death except to say, “our hearts go out to the family of Joyce who are now struggling to deal with both of these tragic losses.”

Ruling awards former employee $10,000 for discriminationGrant [email protected]

The owners of Prime Time Sports in the Royal City Centre Mall have been directed by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal to pay a former employee more than $10,000 because her health was a partial factor in her being red.

Charlene Bateman was hired by the store’s owners, Bill and Harprit Husband, in November 2009.

Bateman told them at that time she had some health concerns and would need a hysterectomy with a recovery time of four to eight weeks.

She had the surgery on Feb. 9, 2010 and the Husbands hired Brandi Pugh to ll in for her. When Bateman, who had by then been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, returned she was told there wasn’t any more work for her, but Pugh continued to work there.

Bateman led a discrimination complaint with the tribunal, which held a hearing before Norman Trerise in January.

A decision, however, wasn’t written until last month when both sides said they were no longer interested in settlement discussions.

The couple told Trerise that job performance concerns were behind their decision.

Trerise concluded, that although there were legitimate performance concerns, Bateman’s health was at least a factor in her termination.

He said the store’s owners preferred her replacement but only came to that determination as a result of having to nd a replacement during her illness.

Trerise awarded Bateman $5,000 for injury to her dignity for the ring, and another $5,088 for loss of wages saying her performance likely would have meant she would only have retained her job for another two months.

“Separating Queensborough away from New Westminster and putting it with Richmond, is that an appropriate approach? My sense from the community is no, that isn’t,” said Julian.

He noted in 2002, the redistribution called for New Westminster to be joined with North Surrey, but eventually that was rejected after negative public feedback. This time around, he’s already experienced some community recoil at the proposals, just released last week, while at Canada Day events.

“A lot of people came up and expressed some real concerns about what they consider to be very strange groupings,” said Julian.

Donnelly said he was surprised because the proposed changes are signi cant, and if adopted will put him in a tenuous position, although “it’s preliminary to be

too worried.” He noted in the last election he was in a close race with Conservative candidate Diana Dilworth, winning by a margin of 2.5 per cent of the vote. He got a great deal of support from New Westminster in that campaign so if the redistribution were to take effect, next time it could put him in a tighter race with the Conservatives.

An analysis of the redrawing of the electoral map of Burnaby-Douglas, he said, to include a portion of North Vancouver District, would likely have meant a Tory victory instead of NDP, but Donnelly said he hopes the Tories aren’t meddling with the process.

“I’m hoping that’s not the case. I’m hoping the commission is independent, objective and fair,” said Donnelly. “I like to feel con dent in the process. I will trust the process, and provide as much input as I can as well after hearing from the community and

their thoughts.”The electoral commission will

hold public hearings about the proposed changes throughout the fall, including one at the Inn at the Quay in New Westminster on Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. Another is set for Donnelly’s riding, the Executive Inn on North Road in Coquitlam, the next day, 2 p.m. The weekday afternoon is not ideal, said Donnelly, because it won’t be accessible for those that work.

If 2002 is any indication, the feedback from hearings will have an impact on the nal product, said both MPs.

“I wouldn’t in any way think this is a done deal,” said Julian.

Anyone wishing to make a presentation at a hearing or submit a comment should do so in writing no later than Aug. 30. For more information go to http://bit.ly/LngY2J.

FEDERAL BOUNDARIES COMMISSIONProposed changes to the ridings map would put all of mainland New Westminster in a riding called New Westminster-Burnaby East, which would include southeast Burnaby (the area north of Grif ths Drive from 10th Avenue to Kingsway, then Sperling to the freeway, which would be the northern border). Today the city has the Burnaby-New Westminster riding, which includes Queensborough, all of New West west of Eighth Street and all of Burnaby south of the two lakes. The other riding is New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, which includes all of New West east of Eighth.

One day, however, she told her daughter Rhonda about her true heritage, and said, “I will tell you once, but you must never ask me again.”

After her mother died, Larrabee researched her heritage and is now recognized as the chief of the Qayqayt.

Over the years she has been

able to nd eight other members. McGarva said he saw the building as a raw canvas that could tell many stories. He said the tented canopy structure in the plaza with all its “weird angles” is a homage to the tents of a century and a half ago. The red and grey panels spell out New Westminster in Morse code. There’s also a reference to Yifao, which was the Chinese

name for New West. It meant second city, because Victoria was the rst city they encountered upon their arrival and New Westminster the second.

“There’s a whole bunch of literary allusions [on the building]. It’s bold. It might not be to everyone’s tastes, but there’s a proud story to this building,” McGarva said.

City to start removing sandbags placed along the riverGrant [email protected]

New Westminster will begin removing sandbags it had placed at the ready in case the Fraser River ooded.

The provincial government has advised the city the potential for local ooding due to the spring runoff has ended because a signi cant amount of snow melt has already occurred.

The high snowpack over the winter and into spring had caused concern. In recent weeks, some

areas of the Fraser Valley were evacuated but the threat never materialized enough in New Westminster to force authorities to move the sandbags and other temporary measures into place.

“We’re just going to come up with a plan for the deescalation process,” said Dave Jones, manager of the city’s emergency management department.

He said although there was a huge amount of snow the high temperatures never materialized in the northern areas to cause a melt too much for the river’s banks and dikes to handle. As well, there were no extreme high tides from

the Paci c Ocean which can have a signi cant effect on the Fraser River’s volume of water in New Westminster.

“You need a perfect storm to have an effect on New Westminster,” said Jones.

Jones said the biggest ood B.C. has known was in 1894 when the gauge at the Mission Bridge read 8.9 metres and it was 8.2 in 1948. The highest it reached this year was 6.38, but that’s more than in recent

memory. In 2007, the last time New West did staging for a possible ood, it went up to 5.94 while in 1999 it was 6.21.

“When it’s above six you tend to stand up and

notice,” said Jones, who pointed out Brunette Creek’s level in the Braid industrial area was very high.

“It doesn’t move so it looks like it’s a bathtub but it saw a lot of water.”

The procedures implemented by the city were a bit of a test run, but they still haven’t been proven to work. Only a ood will do that.

“We’re not going to go into it blind, but any untested plan is just

that, still an untested plan. But we’ve got a fairly good program. We were one of the rst out of the gate to do any measures,” said Jones.

“Who knows what next year’s going to hold.”

Sandbags were provisionally placed at Quayside, Queensborough and Braid. Some of those set up around the city were put there by Metro Vancouver.

Jones said the bags will deteriorate and cannot be used again so will be disposed of, but the sand will be returned to Winvan Construction which supplied it.

An outside observer could be forgiven for thinking New Westminster is rife with problems and dissent.

Each day we hear of another group complaining about a project or program, or calling for a needed service, amenity, policy or facility.

But is this the case? Is our city riven by con ict and acrimony?

I suggest not. In fact, our community is unusually cohesive and productive for a plural, urban city. Our public debates are just evidence of healthy civic engagement.

Citizens here care about what happens in their town but what we hear and see resembles constant strife because victories and blessings are not as vocally celebrated.

Residents of Queensborough, for instance, are unlikely to ll a blog post with thanks for an expanded community centre. You’ll hear more about bridge traf c, poor pedestrian mobility and ood concerns.

West End residents could boast about the rebuild of the Grimston Park playground but instead

you’ll hear about the lack of civic facilities in this third of the city or about traf c on 20th Street.

Do Moody Park residents praise improvements to Moody Park and the replacement of the pool? People here are more likely to bring up the speed of traf c next to the park, or unruly behavior in the evenings.

You get the picture: from an informed and engaged population, you get a chorus of grasping, needing, pleading outrage.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way. The same pattern exists in Sapperton. This area is enjoying a rebirth, with many positive developments such as new growth, an improved retail strip and the recent saving of Hume Park school.

And yet when the neighbourhood residents came out in force to

present an informed and reasoned defense of their neighbourhood, they failed to receive the support of city council.

While I often take issue with those who seem to manufacture outrage where none is warranted, this is a clear instance where the needs, wishes and welfare of New Westminster have been set aside. Where a united stance has not been enough and the spirit of compromise and engagement has been met with a deaf ear.

I am speaking, of course, about the recent approval by council to amend the Of cial Community Plan (OCP), at the request of Elizabeth Fry Society (EFry), to expand its facilities for at-risk women and children.

Why has the city ignored residents in the case of EFry?

Certainly one argument is the “social good” EFry delivers.

But surely this argument was also used in the attempt to put a school at Grimston Park, and with TransLink’s plan to build the United Boulevard Extension—both halted due to public opposition.

A second argument posed by

residents is that the city already has enough social housing.

Sapperton, the residents contended, welcome its supported housing neighbours, but suspending parking, zoning and the OCP for one property on a residential street is a clear and unacceptable threat to their streetscape, especially when other options exist for EFry.

For the lower Sapperton neighbourhood, there are no second chances, no plan B, no alternative method to resolve their concerns. EFry though, has options.

Time after time, our council has stood up for the rights of residents to defend the livability of our neighbourhoods. To close their ears to the overwhelming opposition in Sapperton will erode con dence in the integrity of this council as advocates for the citizens of New Westminster.

Will Tomkinson is a New West resident and regular contributor to the local blog, Tenth to the Fraser.

An unabridged version of this article, can be found there.

Battles at the root of civic pride

Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to ght another day.

While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association.

True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom.

Still, it’s unlikely teachers will be satis ed given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out more money does make a difference in the classroom — though there will never be enough cash to solve every issue.

Re: The day the kids lost their freedom

This column brought back so many grand memories. I feel sorry for kids today because everything is experienced under the scrutiny of adults, with helmets and knee pads in place. When we fell out of the tree, landing at on our back, knocking the wind out of our lungs, with scraped knees, we went, mmmmmm, maybe I should not have done that. Or, let’s gure out another way.

Society has taken away their freedom!

Judi McKenzie

I try really hard to give my girls some freedom. It’s really dif cult. We live in a neighbourhood with a huge park where I let my kids play without me. We know all our neighbours and we all watch our kids. We also know when someone is in the neighbourhood that we don’t know. My kids have freedom of sorts. I let them jump from the trees, they ride their bikes, they play hide-and-seek but I am usually

somewhere making sure that they are OK. I don’t want them to grow up being afraid that people are out there to hurt them, but at the same time I want them to be aware that not everyone is kind with good intentions. I honestly don’t know if the world today is so much different than that of my youth—or my parents’ youth, for that matter. We just have a whole lot more fear and with that comes the loss of freedom and the judgement of others.

Nicole Whitehead Hoogerdyk

I miss those days too. None of us, as children, would come home all summer long unless it was to eat. Building forts, swimming at the lake, late night hide-and-seek, bug bites, inpromptu tent sleepovers. Crazy what we did, if you think about it in a world like today. My kids will not know what it was like, and that is sad. I would love to let them just be free for a bit.

Rachel Caroline Plaza

We are lucky to be something of

an exception to this in our corner of the neighbourhood at the moment. Our kids enjoy a lot of unscheduled play with friends, and get to run back and forth among their friends’ houses at will. But we are lucky to have a cluster of families with kids of similar ages, with mothers who are working part-time, at-home or who have put their careers on hold for a while, and fathers who (usually) come home in time for dinner.

Strength of neighbourhood ties and trust make the difference. Too many of us go to work early and come home late, and there’s just not a lot of time left in the day to get to know your neighbours.

TIRED OF TRAINSCome down to River Drive

in New Westminster and watch Southern Railway of B.C. trains belch amazing black smoke, smash and crash, and blow whistles and bells, especially all night between

11 p.m. and 8 p.m.We live on a dead-end street,

with no sidewalks, with families trying to walk on the side of the road to get to 22nd Street SkyTrain station while their shuttle crews are also racing at excessive speeds, running stop signs with near misses all the time.

What happened to concerns about train pollution? Are they above the law while we breathe and choke on their smoke, burning our throats and eyes when outside in our yard?

Even when these trains are idling you cannot have a conversation outside your house, never mind inside. When going by full throttle, it literally shakes and vibrates the neighbourhood.

THERE ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD

On Thursday, June 28, I received the news that my grandma had a stroke and that she was at Royal Columbian Hospital on life support,

and she wasn’t going to make it. I rushed to the hospital emergency parking lot and quickly went to pay for three hours of parking. My credit card stripe wasn’t working and I just gave up and rushed in to be with my grandma.

When I returned to my car three hours later (expecting a ticket), there was a note on my windshield from the lady behind me in line at the parking meter stating that she had paid for my parking for the three hours, and was sorry to hear about my grandma and wished she could give me a hug.

It was so very kind of this total stranger to help me out while I was in such an emotional state.

To that woman, I say a sincere thank you. There are wonderful people in this world—and you are one of them.

F lipping through some old family photo albums recently had me reminiscing about the many vacations that my family would

take each summer. Before the day of seatbelts, my sister and I would

ride in the upper bunk of the camper and wildly wave to travelers heading in the opposite direction.

En route to one of our favourite camping destinations through the Fraser Canyon, at each bend

we would roll from side to side, sometimes with a little extra enthusiasm, as we squished the other.

Oh the fun we had!With the building of the Coquihalla it has been

many years since I had traveled that section of the Trans Canada, but one trip last year and I was hooked.

I nd myself, like Simon Fraser, charting new routes through the Fraser Canyon to get to my destinations, researching places to visit and adding to my growing bucket list the many things to see and do along the way.

If you think you already know the Fraser River based on what you see every day, think again. Not only does the Fraser Canyon provide majestic scenery and a drier climate, it’s rich in indigenous

culture and colonial history. And of course, rafting provides the ultimate

adventure to appreciate this kind of setting. Until last year I had no interest in rafting any

river let alone the Fraser. But meeting the crew from Fraser River Raft Expeditions changed all that.

Our friend Archie Miller wrote about his experience, “… when it is your turn and you sit in the boat awaiting the journey, those moments are lled with anticipation, excitement and even a little

bit of respectful fear. You hang on tight, the raft rises and drops, rushing water is everywhere. The experience seems to last forever but is over in a few moments. You’ve made it—amazing—when can we

go again?” Like Archie, I can’t

wait to go again!This is something

everyone should experience, and if rafting the Fraser River has been on your bucket list, now is your chance to cross it off.

The Fraser River Discovery Centre is organizing a one-day rafting trip down the Fraser River from Boston Bar to Yale. Everything is included; from breakfast to dinner and the good thing is, we will do the driving so you can completely enjoy yourself.

Join us on Saturday, August 25 as we head to the canyon for some fun!

Tickets are on sale now, so book your spot today to avoid disappointment! Visit our website for further information.

Bobby’s Cane comes to Columbia

A New Westminster band, Bobby’s Cane, will be the main act at The Columbia on July 13 after it “blew the roof off the place” during an amateur night June 2.

The name comes from the fact band front man and co-founder Bobby Jeboult is blind and uses a cane. The band’s members—vocalist Jeboult, guitarist Jesse Dodds, drummer James Unger and bassist Scott Sproule—all attended New Westminster secondary at one time or another.

Jeboult and the band write their own music and lyrics. Bobby’s Cane will be on stage July 13 at 8 p.m. The night will also feature local musicians Kendra Moriah and The Oceanographers. Tickets are $10 and available at www.thecolumbia.ca or 604-522-4500.

SPORTS

Jr. ’Bellies strike down SaintsAfter a sleepy start, the New Westminster Jr.

Salmonbellies defeated the Port Coquitlam Saints 7-3 at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

In the rst period, PoCo actually took a 2-0 lead before Reagan Harding scored for the Salmonbellies with three seconds left. The Saints took a 3-1 lead

with a powerplay goal just 2:37 into the second period, but the ’Bellies closed the door from there.

Unfortunately for them it was dif cult opening the door at the other end with Saints goaltender Carson Michaud, with a little help from backup Garrett Spann, standing guard. New West didn’t manage to score until 10 minutes later. By the end of the period the Salmonbellies had a 4-3 lead, although it certainly could have been much more considering they outshot the Saints 24-6. Overall New West held a 60-33 shot advantage.

Josh Byrne scored twice for the Salmonbellies with singles going to Harding, Reese Robinson, Jakob Doucet, Reid Mydske and Quinn Mackay.

The win left New West in second place in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League, two points behind Coquitlam and one ahead of third-place Delta, with a 14-4-0 record.

It was the Salmonbellies’ nal home game of the regular season. They were to play in Delta on Wednesday before visiting Coquitlam today (Friday) and Burnaby on Sunday (7 p.m.).

Former New Westminster Salmonbellies star Craig Stevenson will be inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame along with long-time Salmonbellies junior executive Murray Lehman in the builders category.

Stevenson grew up in Ontario but the ’Bellies attracted him west in 1993 and he never went back, staying with the New Westminster squad until 2006.

He nished his career 17th in all-time Western Lacrosse Association scoring. Between the ’Bellies and the Peterborough Lakers he racked up 440 goals and 711 assists in 400 senior A games.

Stevenson also played in the National Lacrosse League for Buffalo, Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary scoring 76 points in 37 games.

Lehman rst managed teams in New West’s minor system in the 1970s before becoming B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League commissioner in 1981, which he did for nine seasons. In 1992 he began an 11 season stretch on the Jr. ’Bellies board as assistant general manager, general manager and president which included the team winning the 1994 Minto Cup.

He has also been on the hall of fame’s board of governors since 1993 and is also currently in his

fth season as general manager of the Jr. B ’Bellies.The 1928 Canadian Olympic gold medal

squad, which was made up of the 1927 Mann Cup champion New Westminster Salmonbellies, will be inducted into the team category.

Lacrosse was a demonstration sport at the Games in Amsterdam, and the three countries involved—Canada, the United States and England—all ended up in a three-way tie for rst. During their sojourns to and from The Netherlands, the Salmonbellies amassed an 11-2 record.

Six players, two builders and two teams will be inducted at the hall’s banquet and ceremonies to be held at the Fire ghters’ Club in Burnaby on Nov. 17.

B.C. school trustees have embraced a contract extension for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that promises labour peace in schools until next spring.

With 85 per cent of boards of education participating Wednesday, the vote was unanimous in favour of the two-year contract that expires June 30, 2013.

The deal imposes a two-year wage freeze on teachers, which had already been accepted by school support staff and other public sector unions in B.C.

“Boards of education are pleased that we have been able to achieve agreements with all of our unionized staff in these challenging times,” said Melanie Joy, chair of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

Teachers voted by a three-to-one margin last week to accept the contract extension, with 52 per cent of BCTF members casting ballots.

The deal puts off a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation of

teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the agreement includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues.

Those discussions are expected to resume this fall, dealing with professional development, evaluation and which issues are negotiated at the provincial and local level.

The long-running dispute over class size and composition may also heat up again next year as the B.C. Liberal government heads into an election campaign.

BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher bene ts and leave provisions.

But the union is going to court to argue that imposing a two-year wage freeze violates their constitutional right to collective bargaining.

Lambert has also indicated that the BCTF will once again work to unseat the B.C. Liberal government, as it has done with advertising and protests in recent elections.

Study ties salmon productivity drop to ‘shared mechanisms’Jeff NagelBlack Press

Sockeye salmon along the west coast are producing far fewer returning offspring than in the past and the SFU shery scientists who have documented the trend say it suggests climate change may be a factor.

Randall Peterman said the study he co-authored found 24 of 37 sockeye stocks from Washington State to Alaska lost productivity since 1985, with the hardest hit runs no longer even replacing themselves.

He said the fact the decline has been widespread across both pristine and heavily disturbed watersheds points to non-local “shared mechanisms” as the more probable cause, rather than river-speci c logging or pollution.

“It’s much more likely that what’s causing these changes is occurring over a large area,” said Peterman, a professor in SFU’s School of Resource and Environmental Management.

Warming oceans could be reducing the salmon food supply in the north Paci c, sending more predators towards the sockeye or increasing their vulnerability to pathogens, he said. The culprit could also be affecting sockeye in freshwater, Peterman added.

A pathogen – either naturally occurring or spread by sh farms – could be ampli ed by climate changes and infecting sockeye in rivers that later die at sea.

Preliminary ndings were presented in 2011 to the Cohen Inquiry, which reports in the fall with recommendations on halting the decline in Fraser River sockeye.

But Peterman said the newest analysis shows the pattern of declining productivity has spread northward to more watersheds over time.

“That trend of spreading northward is indicative of possibly climate-driven processes that become more extreme in the south rst and work their way north,” he said. “The evidence is much stronger than it was.”

The theory of a sh food shortage on the high seas is backed in part because sockeye have tended to return signi cantly underweight in recent years. The food supply is expected to decline as the ocean warms.

But Peterman noted increased competition for the same food supply is another possibility.

The number of pink salmon feeding in the same area of the north Paci c has more than doubled, largely the result of “ranching” of pinks by Russians and Alaskans.

The study was published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences.

Recycling, fees come to more electric gear

Hundreds of additional electrical products – from drills

and other power tools to sports equipment such as treadmills – can now be returned to B.C. depots for recycling.

The July 1 expansion of the ElectroRecycle

program rst launched last fall means consumers are also now paying an extra recycling fee when they buy new products that are covered.

Those charges, which fund the industry stewardship program, are in addition to fees on many other small appliances that kicked in last October.

Ocean warming may be factor in sockeye decline

Bosa Properties is bringing innovation to one of life’s little annoyances with its automated parking system at its Jameson House development in Coal Harbour.

“The parking garage would have been 12 levels” if Bosa had gone with a conventional parking system, says Senior Vice-President Daryl Simpson.

There are 250 parking spots in the development, and two transfer stations to move the cars. Simpson says the wait time to park and retrieve the car is about two minutes, but it depends on how many others are waiting.

“It’s quicker than driving around and around,” he says, adding that this

system is the first of its kind in Canada, and the second-largest in North America.

Homeowners pull into the garage and drive their car onto one of the stations. Then, you lock their car and type in your PIN. You can then go up to your home while the machines move the car into one of the spaces below. When you want to retrieve your car, you go back to the garage and type in your PIN. Your car will appear, and you’re on your way.

The homes at Jameson House are now sold out, but with the popularity of the automated parking system, it’s only a matter of time until the technology is used elsewhere.

Whether you’re looking for a vacation spot for the whole family or a place to retire after years of hard work, you need look no further than The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, located right on the shores of the beautiful lake.

“We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren, Partner of Van Maren Construction Group. “Most people from B.C., and many from Alberta, are familiar with Osoyoos and have vacationed there in the past. A property like The Cottages just can’t be purchased in the Okanagan.”

With over 1,500 feet of waterfront, 500 feet of beach, two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse, 20 acres of lawn, boat slips and walking trails, the Cottages are the perfect spot for families of all sizes.

There are three different styles of home available, Van Maren says, and thus truly something for everyone.

“The Meadow homes are most appealing for second-home buyers,” he says. “They have lots of open space between the homes where younger children can play with newly made friends. You’re never more than a few minutes walk to the lake and clubhouse.”

The Lakeside homes are made for people who want to live right on the water, while the Hillside homes appeal to those looking for somewhere to live year-round, and are larger.

There are 14 different two- to four-bedroom floorplans to choose from, ranging from 1,281 square feet

including the screened porch and open deck to over 3,000 square feet.

Expansive windows on every home and cottage let the natural light pour in and allow you a beautiful view of your surroundings, while the nine-foot ceilings contribute to a great sense of space, no matter the floorplan or how many visitors you have. You will never feel cramped in the homes at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. All of the homes offer wood-clad vaulted ceilings.

Vinyl-plank flooring throughout the main living space (with hardwood as an optional upgrade) is ready to stand up to plenty of foot traffic, while the plush carpeting on the upper floors is soft and luxurious.

Each home includes a Wireless Smart Home Automation/Security system, which allows you to remotely access your cottage from your smartphone, computer or tablet. It gives you the ability to lock or unlock your doors,

adjust the thermostat and view the inside of your home from a video camera in the centre of the home.

The Lakefront homes include some upgrades as standard items, including hardwood floors on the main level and granite countertops in the kitchen, among several other things.

The screened porches at the Cottages are referred to as summer rooms, and overlook the landscape. They are perfect for a mid-summer snooze, catching up with a good book or a quiet cup of coffee watching the sunrise.

There is no shortage of ways to wile away your time in Osoyoos. The surrounding area itself is rich in things to do, from touring the amazing nearby wineries to floating around on Osoyoos Lake. Hiking and biking trails are

abundant, or you can book a round of golf at one of the golf courses. If you’re around in the winter, winter sports on Mount Baldy are only about 40 minutes away, or you can venture a bit farther afield to Penticton’s Apex Mountain.

The price has been one of the biggest draws for people who have already purchased a cottage.

“Where else could you get a 930-square-foot detached home, a three-minute barefoot walk from the lake for under $305,000, including all applicable taxes?” asks Van Maren. “Our prices are lower than many new apartment condos that aren’t even on the water.”

Cottages start at $305,000. For more information, visit osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

Submitted photosThe Cottages on Osoyoos Lake feature wood-clad vaulted ceilings, above, and vinyl-plank flooring thoughout the main living areas, left. Outside, the expansive windows let the light pour in. Many homes are just a barefoot walk from the lake, top, making them the perfect vacation spot.

OPEN HOUSESAT. 2-4PM


The government has announced that as of July 9, 2012, new rules will apply to government-backed insured mortgages where the borrower has less than a 20% down payment.

The government will:• reduce the maximum

amortization (payback) period on a mortgage to 25 years from 30 years;

• lower the maximum amount borrowers can re nance to 80% loan-to-value (LTV) from 85%;

• limit the gross debt service (GDS) ratio - the amount of household income spent on the mortgage, property taxes and heating to a maximum of 39% of income. The total debt service (TDS) ratio – the amount of household income spent on all debts including the mortgage to a maximum 44% of income; and

• limit government-insured mortgages to homes priced at less than $1 million. Buyers of homes priced at $1 million or more must have a minimum 20% down payment.

The new rules apply to mortgages on residential property with four units or less.

They do not apply to:• uninsured mortgages (those

with a 20% down payment or more) which don’t require government-backed mortgage insurance;

• borrowers renewing their existing insured mortgages, where there are no new funds being added to the mortgage; or

• development or construction of multi-unit buildings of ve units or more, owned by a landlord.

REFINANCING

What will the new rules cost buyers re nancing a home valued

at $625,000?•Re nancing at 85%, home

owner can access up to $531,250• Re nancing at 80%, home

owner can access up to $500,000

FOUR YEARS OF TIGHTENING BORROWING RULES

This is the fourth time in four years that the government has tightened borrowing rules.

• In 2008, the government reduced the maximum amortization period to 35 years from 40, required home buyers to have a minimum down payment of 5% (compared to the previous 0% down), and introduced new loan documentation standards.

• In 2010, the government required all borrowers to meet standards for a ve-year xed-rate mortgage, reduced the maximum amount borrowers could re nance to 90% from 95%, and for non-owner-occupied investment properties, required a minimum 20% down payment.

• In January 2011, the government reduced the maximum amortization period for government-backed insured mortgages to 30 years from 35 years and reduced the amount borrowers could re nance to 85% from 90%.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES

Q: What is required to qualify for an exception to the new parameters?

A: The new measures apply as of July 9, 2012. Exceptions will be made to satisfy a binding purchase and sale, nancing or re nancing agreement where a mortgage insurance application has been made before July 9, 2012. While the changes come into force on July 9, 2012, any mortgage insurance applications

received after June 21, 2012 and before July 9, 2012 that do not conform to new measures must be funded by December 31, 2012.

Q: Will a purchase and sale agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012 be considered binding if there are outstanding conditions that have not been ful lled prior to July 9, 2012?

A: Yes, if the date on the purchase and sale agreement is earlier than July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance application has been made prior to that date, the new parameters will not apply, even if the conditions of the agreement have not been ful lled.

Q: Will the new re nancing rules allow a borrower with a mortgage above 80 per cent loan-to-value (LTV) to re nance by extending the amortization period?

A: No. Effective July 9, 2012, borrowers will not be permitted to re nance a mortgage above an 80 per cent LTV, unless the borrower has a binding re nance agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance agreement has been made prior to that date.

Q: I have a written mortgage pre-approval from a lender, dated before July 9, 2012 with a 30-year amortization. Will I be eligible for a 30-year amortization if I don’t sign an agreement of purchase and sale until July 9, 2012 or later?

A: No, a mortgage pre-approval without an agreement of purchase and sale is not suf cient to qualify for a 30-year amortization. You may have a 30-year amortization only if your agreement of purchase and sale is dated before July 9, 2012 and you

have made a mortgage insurance application before July 9, 2012.

Q: Will the new parameters apply to assignment (“switch” or transfer) of a previously insured loan from one approved lender to another?

A: No. As long as the loan amount and amortization period are not increased, the new parameters will not apply to a switch/transfer/assignment of the mortgage to a different lender.
