Police clarify EFry statsGrant Grangernewwestnewsleader.com

New Westminster police have clari ed a discrepancy in statistics concerning the number of times its of cers have been called to the Elizabeth Fry Society in Sapperton.

A report prepared by the department for city council in May said in the previous ve years there were 217 calls for service to the society’s facility at 402 East Columbia St.

At about the same time, area resident Trina Graydon received a reply from the department in answer to her freedom of information (FOI) request for the same statistics. Although she also asked for the previous ve years, the information she received had stats that went back to April 2005, and it said there were 616 calls.

Police say the FOI reply contained both the Computer Aided Dispatch (COI) information and the Police Records Information Management Environment (PRIME) which meant there was “a duplicate set of les that effectively doubled the numbers of calls for service,” said Sgt. Diana McDaniel.

To cost ‘upwards of $750 million’ says health ministerGrant [email protected]

The province has committed to redeveloping Royal Columbian Hospital, but isn’t ready to put a dollar gure on its pledge.

Health Minister Mike de Jong told health care of cials and the media at the hospital Tuesday that his government was formally committed to the project which was presented to

the ministry conceptually by Fraser Health more than two years ago.

“We’re talking about a new hospital that will contain hundreds of more beds, a state-of-the-art facility” that will accommodate new technologies, said de Jong. “When we say we are going to build a new hospital, we build it and we’re going to build this one.”

The minister said the total cost is still unknown but “we’re talking about something that could reach something upwards of three quarters of a billion dollars.”

“Royal Columbian will, I think, eclipse all of the [previous hospital capital projects] in terms of what it represents—a billion-dollar plus project,” he said in May 2011 in response to questions from New Westminster MLA Dawn Black about the delay in making a commitment.

On Tuesday, de Jong was reluctant to elaborate on the price tag saying that will emerge when the business case is done, which is expected to be in October. A new RCH’s future operating costs will also have to be factored in because they will be

“dramatically higher” than the current ones.

“We don’t know the nal cost, that’s why we do the detailed business cases, and it’s why one is reluctant to say any gure because reporters are going to raise what you said in the past,” said de Jong in an interview following the announcement.

De Jong said it will take several years to complete the project. “A new Royal Columbian Hospital won’t emerge overnight.”

RCH expansion plan moves forward

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBC Health Minister Mike de Jong chats with the Belle Purri and Adrienne Bakker of the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation following an announcement Tuesday that the government is committing to redeveloping the hospital to add hundreds of new beds, expand the emergency department and create new surgical suites.

The commitment comes as the hospital celebrates its 150th anniversary.

“It is time to be planning and building for the next 150 years,” said de Jong.

He received a long, loud ovation from the many health care professionals and administrators in the room when he announced the commitment. It was news that was also welcomed by Black, even though she is a member of the NDP opposition.

“I’m delighted. It’s long overdue. It’s a positive announcement,” said Black.

To her, the goodwill of the announcement outweighed any concerns about the difference in the dollars from de Jong. “I’ll cut him some slack because it’s all in the concept and business plan where we’re really going to nd out where the actual dollars come in,” said Black. “You can be sure I’ll be keeping a very watchful eye.”

Black wouldn’t speculate on why it took the government more than two years to make the commitment.

“It’s taken too long in my opinion when we all know the critical need for more space,” said Black.

De Jong said the province will work with Fraser Health to nalize the business plan. The province will also be counting on the community.

“We have set ourselves an ambitious target and one that will cost,” said de Jong, before light-heartedly directing a comment to

RCHF members in the audience. “Hello, members of the [Royal Columbian Hospital] foundation!”

It was a challenge to which foundation CEO Adrienne Bakker enthusiastically pumped her arms in

response. After the announcement, she said the extent of RCHF’s role won’t be known until the business plan is done.

“The foundation will partner with Fraser Health and the ministry in helping raise money for various aspects of the project,” said Bakker. “What’s still to be determined is what the foundation

would be willing to commit to.”Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray

said the redevelopment is “a big challenge, but we’ll do it,” pointing out it takes time when it comes to large capital projects.

“With three quarters of a billion dollars you’ve got to be careful about how you plan that. The planning process is long, but it’s necessarily long,” said Murray. “You shouldn’t get caught up in price tags, it’s the early days and you have to go through the process ... This is huge, this will be one of the best health capital developments in the history of British Columbia.”

Murray noted Fraser Health and the province have collaborated in recent years on building a new $475 million hospital in Abbotsford, a $512 million expansion of Surrey Memorial and the $237 million Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre in Surrey.

Hockey’s holy grail to make appearance in New West this summerGrant [email protected]

Sometime this summer the Stanley Cup will visit New Westminster, likely just to drop around for a nice family backyard barbecue.

As goaltending coach of the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, Bill Ranford will get to spend a day with hockey’s holy grail. He intends to spend that day letting Stanley get acquainted with his family as a reward to them for all the time he’s spent away from his home just a slapshot from his old hockey home at Queen’s Park Arena where he played for the New Westminster Bruins. The part-time job has meant he’s missed singing and acting performances of older daughter Cassady and younger daughter Tristan’s lacrosse games.

“It’s tough being away from my family as much as I am. From the two weeks left to go in the season to when we won the Cup I’ve been home four days,” said Ranford on Wednesday as he awaited the arrival of his wife Kelly and two daughters in L.A. to participate in the parade. “It makes it bittersweet to nally win and be part of it. It means a lot to me to have them with me and to experience all the festivities tomorrow.”

Allowing all members of the Stanley Cup-winning team to spend a day with the cup is a National Hockey League tradition. Players get the priority,

Ranford said, but since the tradition wasn’t in place when he won the Cup as goalie with the 1988 and 1990 Edmonton Oilers, he’s looking forward to nally getting his time with it.

Although it’s hard for many in Greater Vancouver to be Kings fans, Ranford said the New Westminster community has been tremendously supportive.

During all the hoopla following the Kings’ 6-1 victory to clinch the Cup on Monday, a special moment came when Ranford got together for a picture with his protege, Jonathan Quick, Kings assistant general manager Ron Hextall and the Conn Smythe Trophy won by Quick for being the playoffs’ most valuable player. It’s an award Ranford won in 1990 and Hextall in 1987, when his Philadelphia Flyers lost to Edmonton. Monday night was the rst time both Ranford and Hextall had seen their names on the trophy.

“It was real neat,” he said.

This was Ranford’s sixth season with the Kings. The last couple of years, Los Angeles has been considered an up-and-coming squad but barely squeaked into the playoffs. This year the team ran roughshod over the Canucks, St. Louis Blues and Phoenix Coyotes en route to the Stanley Cup nal.

“There was the expectation to be a much more competitive team in the regular season. We had our scoring woes, and basically had to claw our way in just to make the playoffs. and once we got there we started to peak at the right time,” said Ranford.

Despite the struggles, the one thing that was steady all year long was Quick, who has been nominated for the Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goaltender. Ranford is modest about his role in turning Quick into one of the NHL’s netminding elite.

“It’s my job to keep him ready but he had just an incredible year.”

The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce has joined the B.C. Chamber.

At its June meeting, the board of directors decided it was nancially able to become part

of the provincial body and take advantage of a collective voice of more than 120 chambers throughout British Columbia.

“From an advocacy perspective, our voice will become louder on issues that are affecting our business community from a local, regional, provincial and national perspective,” said New West chamber president Andrew Hopkins. “There will be times when our voice may differ from that of our provincial

colleagues as we try to re ect local concerns, but being a part of a louder, more active voice will bene t members in the long run.”

B&E artist sentencedA career criminal has been

sentenced to eight years in prison for his involvement in a series of break and enters, some of which occurred in New Westminster.

Surrey RCMP say Darwin Dorozan got the long term for a series of break-ins across the Lower Mainland during a four-month period in 2011. His brother, Dane Dorozan, will be sentenced Sept. 21 for his role.

The Abbotsford pair were arrested Aug. 15, 2011 after a

break-in in South Surrey. The investigation led to multiple charges for break and enters in Surrey, Langley, White Rock and New West.

“The brothers were very sophisticated and used a number of security measures to avoid detection and insulate themselves from their crimes,” said Surrey RCMP. “The level of planning undertaken, while believed in depth, was only truly realized once the two were in custody. The pair’s modus operandi included targeting upscale homes stealing jewelry, money and electronics. The break-ins occurred usually during the weekdays once people left for work.”

With the world in nancial turmoil and people looking for some stability, Queen Elizabeth II is as good a person to look to as anyone.

Not just for the Commonwealth countries over which she symbolically rules, but as a global picture of modest leadership.

Recent polls show support for maintaining Canada’s ties to the monarchy are on the upswing among English-speaking Canadians.

Part of that trend is likely due to last year’s royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

But large kudos have to be given to William’s grandmother, who has traditionally held her own in polls when it comes to popularity or respect, regardless of the general feeling about the monarchy.

In the 60 years since her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has quietly done her job as the head of state, sparking little controversy and avoiding interference in political matters, especially those of countries other than Britain.

It seems those in Canada who argue against keeping our connection to the monarchy have more concern over what might happen if Prince Charles were to become king, which he is in line to become once his mother dies or steps down from her duties.

For now, the Queen, 86, shows few signs of slowing down, especially as she heartily celebrates the start of her seventh decade on the throne with a series of celebrations at home and abroad.

To be sure, the future of the monarchy as it relates to Canada will one day require more serious discussions than relying on poll results.

But with the Canadian public remaining as enthralled with the Royal Family as any other type of international celebrities, our links to the Queen and the Crown appear rmly entrenched.

As we muddle our way through tough times, that’s comforting to know.

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

VICTORIA – In February this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?”

The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes.

The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as ring up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand.

The plan con rms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years.

The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across

the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use.

Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals of cially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020.

Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three lique ed natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia.

Not only will B.C. need to buy gas- red power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas- red electricity to produce LNG for export.

Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall pro ts that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics.

Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40.

Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going at out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C.

I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge

investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America.

Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can ll a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate.

If LNG doesn’t y here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C.

The B.C. government has little choice but to rede ne its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia.

Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Goodbye greenhouse gas goals

COMMENT EMAIL [email protected]

With all the plans for realigning the Pattullo being bantered about, one thing they all do is dump traf c into the city with no consideration for the residents of New Westminster.

Brunette Avenue is currently an east-west industrial through route to Highway 1, and should be developed as such. Any plans to develop this area as residential are short-sighted and will create the same issues already a concern at the Quay.

McBride Boulevard, the only north-south route available and currently connecting to 10th Avenue (residential), needs to be planned to consist of cuts and overpasses to move traf c safely through a route of mainly parks, schools and shopping malls. TransLink must bring Burnaby and New Westminster to the table to design a route which moves traf c north and westbound.

I envision an alternate plan which I feel has merit in solving some of the local traf c and access problems, as well as give Downtown businesses the exposure they deserve.

Firstly we must provide a through route for east-west traf c through the city. This would be done by a deep cutting of Royal Avenue beginning at 11th Street, connecting to Stewardson Way. The cut would be deep enough to accommodate Fourth , Sixth , Eighth and 10th street overpasses. This would be nanced by TransLink as part of the Pattullo Bridge re-alignment. Traf c lights would be eliminated at north/south streets making it safer for pedestrians and provide a direct route from Uptown to Downtown. Traf c noise would be reduced for Royal Avenue residents. Front Street would serve local traf c, as the need to travel that route would be reduced, as would pollutants. Once that is done they can go back to the mess the province has created with the Queensborough Bridge disaster.

I believe the city should plan to clean up the parkade, and with a little forward thinking it could become a viable tourist attraction which will bene t all stakeholders. The top and bottom levels would be used for parking, and viewing the

park and river, as well as creating parking for the park and local businesses. The middle level (under cover) could be developed to attract ea markets or other activities, thus

bringing thousands of people to friendly events at this venue. Safe access to the park would be by pedestrian friendly walkways, stairs and elevators from all three levels. Begbie Street crossing could be closed and traf c routed to the two existing overpasses. Pedestrians would use the walkway to the River Market as well as new access at the parkade.

As for level access to Pier Park, Larco Investments Ltd.’s property next door will one day be a valuable future development which will have the park as an amenity. In fact that park will be the selling point for the development and they should be nancing the park access to some degree. It may sound obvious but may set the “wheels in motion” for a solution to accessing this park as well as curing some of the traf c problems we face throughout the city.

A GOOD PROGRAM FOR NEWCOMERS

I have lived in New Westminster for two years, but it wasn’t until I took part in the New Westminster Community Immigrant Mentorship Program did this city truly became my home.

This program does not simply offer a whole package of information and resources about the city of New Westminster.

MPs and government of cials, lawyers, nancial and health professionals are also invited to give us helpful talks. They provide us with not only valuable advice in their expertise but also the necessary skills and the know-how about Canada.

When I nished the program, I knew more about local community services, education opportunities, smart nancing, and our local government. In addition, I am also able to organize life in the city. The knowledge I learnt is really practical.

Furthermore, this unique program enhanced my network in New Westminster. One of the

special aspects of the program is that assigned mentors partner up with mentees, like me, to help ful ll our life needs and achieve our goals.

This made the program special and unique because every newcomer’s family has many different challenges that couldn’t be covered in a single workshop. Our mentors meet us regularly to help and to share their wealth of local knowledge. By the end of the program my mentor had already become a close friend. I have more friends now and no longer feel lonely in New Westminster.

Family Services of Greater Vancouver and the facilitator contributed a lot to the program. I would like to recommend other immigrants in New Westminster to take part.

However, there is room for improvement in this program. It would be wonderful if the program could have more people familiar with the history of the city to get involved in and support this program as mentors.

“The NWPD stands by the information initially provided to city council,” McDaniel added, “that being the 217 calls for service in the time period provided. The information provided in the FOI request should have read as 308 calls for service in the time period requested, which contained approximately two years of additional calls (than the city report statistics).”

Last month, Graydon cited concern about safety issues in the area as one of the reasons she opposed the society’s applications to change the of cial community plan and rezoning in order to expand its facilities. Graydon lives behind the facility on Kelly Street and feels its presence affects the neighbourhood’s safety more today than when EFry moved there 15 years ago.

“It’s gotten considerably worse since they added certain programs,” said Graydon last month. “All I know is they are a great threat to the neighbourhood and Elizabeth Fry, they deny it. The have not come forward and taken responsibility.”

Will continue to ght for another

immersion stream in the districtGrant [email protected]

New Westminster school district’s decision not to add another early French immersion (EFI) class at Herbert Spencer elementary is disappointing to the city’s Canadian Parents for French (CFP) branch.

Last week, the board of education decided against adding a fourth kindergarten class at the school, despite the demand for it.

In its education committee meeting, trustees sided with many parents who said the school was already too crowded.

However, CFP-New Westminster interim president Stephanie Hodge felt that wasn’t necessarily the case and the decision would deprive many students of learning a second language.

“We are disappointed with the decision with the

fact 22 kids won’t be able to take advantage of French immersion this year, and looking at the numbers most of them won’t be able to take advantage at all,” said Hodge, referring to the possibility of them doing late French immersion when they reach Grade 6.

“We are disappointed they didn’t even bring it to the board for a vote, which happened last year. The demand for French immersion is growing, but we’re hopeful we’ll be able to work closely with the school board to meet the growing demand.”

French immersion is currently taught at Spencer, Lord Tweedsmuir and John Robson elementaries.

Hodge said the organization will continue to seek another stream of French immersion in the district.

In writing to trustees as an individual parent, past CFP-New West president Heidi Clarkson said because the board denied a similar proposal last year, 44 students are “missing the chance to

learn one of Canada’s of cial languages. And the same next year and so on. Like last year the district has a window of opportunity to deal with the EFI demand. And it has a responsibility to do so. I acknowledge all the concerns some parents have brought up. They are all valid. But you cannot ignore the facts.”

Following last week’s decision, two trustees expressed disappointment to the NewsLeader about the divisiveness between English and French parents the issue seems to have caused.

Hodge said she has sensed it as well.

“I’m not surprised [by the trustees’ observation]. I see it at my school, quite severely. It seems horrible,” said Hodge. “There does de nitely seem to be a stigma.”

She said there have been times when a parent has stopped talking to her once they realize her children are in the French programs.

French parents say board decision ‘disappointing’


B.C. drivers tested for alcohol, drugsTom Fletchert [email protected]

VICTORIA – Roadside surveys are set to begin around B.C. this month to continue a research project that tests for marijuana, cocaine and other drugs as well as alcohol use by drivers.

The B.C. government is spending up to $250,000 for the seventh survey of its kind in the province, part of a national program run by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. Previous surveys have shown that in random samples, about 10 per cent of drivers test positive for alcohol and seven to eight per cent have a detectable level of drugs in their systems.

This year’s survey is being done in the same communities as the last one in 2010: Vancouver, Saanich, Abbotsford, Prince George and Kelowna.

The roadside surveys are supervised by police and use hand-held breathalyzers, but they are for information only and won’t result in charges or suspensions. Drivers are asked to voluntarily and con dentially answer questions, provide a breath sample and also a saliva sample using a plastic stick with an absorbent pad on the end.

Saliva samples are sent for lab analysis to detect marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other opiates, amphetamines and common sedatives. The test doesn’t determine if the driver was impaired by drugs, but only if there is a level detectable by the lab test.

Ottawa passed legislation in 2008 to give police authority to demand physical sobriety tests and collect blood, urine or saliva samples for drug testing, but no roadside test or legal limits currently exist for drug impairment. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police do have options.

“Police can issue a 24-hour prohibition at the roadside if they suspect drug impairment,” Bond said. “They can also take the driver into custody, so trained, certi ed police of cers can conduct a very accurate drug recognition and evaluation exam and ask for blood tests to support Criminal Code charges.”

The surveys found that while alcohol use increases late at night and on weekends, drug use by drivers is more consistently found at all times and days.

The surveys were extended to Prince George and Kelowna for the rst time in 2010, and the survey company found drivers more likely to agree to the interview and samples than those in the Lower Mainland.

Of the 2,480 vehicles selected for testing in 2010, 86 per cent of drivers provided a breath sample and 71 per cent agreed to give a sample of oral uid.

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESSPolice roadblock in the Lower Mainland: a different kind of roadside test is being conducted this year, checking drivers for alcohol and drugs as part of a research project.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERVancouver Cannons shortstop Luc Hamel makes a play in the rst game of a B.C. Premier Baseball League doubleheader against the Victoria Eagles at Queen’s Park Stadium on Saturday. The Cannons won both games, 9-0 and 4-3.

Salmonbellies score just one goal against Adanacs

The New Westminster Salmonbellies barely avoided being the victims of the rst Western Lacrosse Association shutout in nearly two decades.

Coquitlam Adanacs goalie Nick Rose made 38 saves and only allowed Mike Berekoff’s third-period marker to get by him as the hometown A’s down the ’Bellies 5-1 Saturday.

There have only been two shutouts in league history, the last coming on May 23, 1993 when the Victoria Shamrocks shutout Burnaby 10-0. The only other one was by New Westminster’s Les Norman in 1962.

After starting the season with three wins, the Salmonbellies have lost their last three.

Two former ’Bellies came back to haunt their old team in the old familiar con nes of Queen’s Park Arena. New West native Kerry Susheski notched a natural hat trick in a 6:31 span in the rst period and Athan Iannucci put up six points as the reigning WLA champion Langley Thunder dumped the Salmonbellies 12-8 last Thursday.

New West opened the game with goals by Ilija Gajic and Sean Robinson in the rst 50 seconds before Susheski struck with his three, followed by another by Lewis Ratcliff before the rst period was over. After Ratcliff’s goal tempers ared with New West’s Kyle Ross being given a game misconduct

on top of a ghting major. Langley’s Alex Turner, a former Jr. ’Bellie was given a ve-minute highsticking major and New West defender Curtis Hodgson was assessed a two-minute slashing minor.

Iannucci assisted on the nal three goals of the period and added two more late in the third period to go along with a second-period power play goal. Ratcliff, who like Iannucci is a former WLA scoring champion, also had a big night with three goals and four assists.

Alex Gajic had two goals and two assists for the Salmonbellies while brother Ilija had a goal and three assists. Their older brother, Nenad, also scored for New West with others going to Jordan McBride, Martin Cummings, Corbyn Tao and Sean Robinson.

Langley extended its lead to 6-2 in the second period, but New West narrowed the de cit to 8-7 midway through the third period before the Thunder scored four of the game’s nal ve goals.

New West outshot Langley 48-45 with Brodie McDonald making 40 saves for the Thunder and Tyler Richards 33 for the ’Bellies.

The Salmonbellies (3-3) were to play the undefeated Victoria Shamrocks (5-0) at Queen’s Park on Thursday. They will be in Nanaimo (2-3-1) on Sunday before playing host to the Burnaby Lakers (3-2-2) next Thursday at 7:45 p.m.

Running back Angelo Tanjuaquio scored on touchdown runs of 60 and 36 yards as the New Westminster Hyacks tied the Blaine Borderites 21-21 in an exhibition high school football game last Friday to cap off spring training camp.

Eric Teng also scored on a 26-yard touchdown run. On defence, Kaeden Hnatiw had ve tackles, including two sacks and a tackle for a loss. The Hyacks had a total of four sacks. Jordan Chin also had ve tackles as well as opening up holes for the running backs on the offensive line.

“More than anything I was really pleased with our depth,” said head coach Farhan Lalji in an email. “Our second and third units fared well against some good competition and it puts us in a better position in the fall to deal with the rigours of a tough AAA schedule. “Our defence showed they really wanted to get

after the football. We have installed a new system so there is still a lot of learning going on, but the tackling and intensity has de nitely improved.”

After the game, Grade 9 offensive lineman Harper Sherman left to attend the Nike Combine and Camp in Oregon. On Monday, he visited the University of Oregon.

The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies overcame a 6-3 rst-period de cit to defeat the Coquitlam Adanacs 11-9 in overtime at the Coquitlam Sports Centre on Monday.

The A’s actually scored with eight seconds remaining in regulation to force OT, but the Salmonbellies shut the door from there while getting goals from Kyle Dobbie and Drew House in the nal two minutes of the extra frame.

During regulation, New West was led by six-point performances by Reagan Harding, who had four goals and two assists, and Brandon Goodwin with three of each. House and Dobbie also added three assists.

Reid Mydske and Quinn Mackay also scored for the Jr. ’Bellies.

With the win New West is 8-4. Last Thursday, they fell 9-5 to Langley with the hometown Thunder striking early by taking a 6-1 rst-period lead.

House had a pair of goals with singles going to Ryan Schmidt, Harding and Mackay.

The Burnaby Lakers (2-9) will visit Queen’s Park Arena to play the Salmonbellies on Tuesday, 8 p.m.

Sentence a sign prison coming for convicted riotersJeff [email protected]

A one-month jail term handed to a 20-year-old Surrey man for his role in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is bad news for the dozens of others still awaiting their day in court and hoping to avoid prison.

Emmanuel Alviar pleaded guilty this spring to charges of mischief and participating in a riot, saying he was sorry for helping stir up mayhem downtown last June 15 after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Cup to the Boston Bruins.

It’s the rst sentence for a Cup rioter with no prior criminal record and it’s being interpreted as a sign jail terms will be inescapable for most who follow.

Alviar, a drywaller and former choir singer, turned himself in to police early in the investigation after videos circulated online showing him pushing against a car that other rioters then destroyed, and later throwing a barricade at a window.

Provincial Court Judge Reg Harris took into account his remorse and guilty plea, but said the size, duration and damage done by the riot – as well as the fact it was the second one in Vancouver involving a hockey crowd – required a substantial deterrent.

Harris also gave Alviar 16 months probation, 150 hours of community service and ordered him to write apology letters to Vancouver’s mayor and chief of police.

Alviar’s lawyer said the sentence sets a probable oor of jail time for similar rst-

time offenders and all but rules out conditional sentences, which he had asked for on behalf of his client.

SFU criminologist Rob Gordon agreed.

“I think it’s more likely than not,” he said of jail for the rest. “It depends on who they are and what they’ve been doing in the past.”

The only other rioter sentenced so far was Coquitlam resident Ryan

Dickinson, who got 17 months in jail less three and a half months credit for time served, but he had a past record of assault.

Gordon noted Alviar’s behaviour worked against him – he was seen at three different places during the riot over a period of hours when he was supposed to be chaperoning four 14-year-olds.

First-time offender jailed for role in Cup riot

Emmanuel Alviar, pinpointed in this riot photo, has been sentenced to one month in jail for his involvement.Please see RIOT, A14

But he said other accused rioters who didn’t come forward early face long odds of avoiding jail.

“Those who did not put their hands up, those police had to chase, and those with prior convictions will be facing longer periods,” he predicted.

“I think a lot of people will be satis ed.”

Gordon said it sends a clear message to future rioters.

Technically, he added, the one-month sentence is “fairly gentle” in light of the fact a conviction for participating in a riot can result in a prison term of years.

CHARGES EXPECTED AGAINST MORE THAN 300

Crown prosecutors have charged 104 accused rioters so far and police are seeking charges against at least 120 more.

The largest number charged so far – 44 – are from Surrey, followed by 38 from Vancouver, 27 from Burnaby, 19 from

Richmond, 14 from North Vancouver, 11 from Delta, eight in Langley and seven each in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

“By the time we are done, we expect that we will exceed 300 persons charged with over 900 criminal charges,” Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu said.

“We believe this is the greatest number of people charged with a crime arising from one incident in

Canadian history.”Chu called for public help in

identifying 10 worst unidenti ed rioters through photos posted on the riot investigation website at riot2011.vpd.ca.

He said 14 of 15 rioters who attacked a Good Samaritan have now been identi ed and either face charges or remain under investigation.

Gordon Hobbis and his staff at Cap’s Bicycle Shop in Sapperton hosted a bike museum for a day as part of Sapperton Day Street Festival on Sunday.

On display were bikes from 1869 to 1900, showing the technological innovations that occurred over the years from a crank-pedaled pennyfarthing to the world’s rst bicycle.

The event required moving 300 of his contemporary bikes into storage so he could take down the vintage bikes that usually sit up high along the walls.

“Overnight we were able to convert the store into a museum with interpretive signage,” Hobbis said.

The museum charged a $2 admission to go to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

Also suggest tolls on aging structure when new Port Mann opensGrant [email protected]

New Westminster’s Neighbourhood Traf c Advisory Committee has recommended that city council not support replacing the Pattullo Bridge.

The committee also voted that the city insist tolls be placed on the Pattullo to coincide with tolls being instituted when the new Port Mann Bridge is opened.

The majority of committee members at the May 16 meeting supported the idea of having no bridge at all because replacing the existing one with a larger span would increase traf c.

There were only two dissenting votes when the motion to recommend not supporting the replacement was called.

Members were also worried the Port Mann Bridge tolls would increase traf c in New Westminster as drivers seek a route that was toll-free.

The committee also recommended council direct city

staff to arrange for additional air quality testing in sensitive locations such as around schools before the new Port Mann Bridge is opened.

The issue continues to grow in New Westminster.

Dennis Paulley, president of the Massey-Victory Heights Residents Association, said its meetings have become much more well attended because of the issue. He’s even come up with a motto for the Pattullo: “Toll it or tear it down.”

“That’s the general consensus around here,” said Paulley.

“Hopefully city council is going to pay attention to what the voters out there are saying. If anyone’s got any other options, then great, but there’s a fear that any more traf c from the bridge is going to affect [residential areas].”

Paulley pointed out Vancouver rejected having a freeway run through it in the 1960s, and another crossing to the North Shore built to replace the Lions

Gate Bridge in the 1990s. New Westminster can do the

same.“If Vancouver can decline a

highway or an expansion on their bridge, then we should be treated no differently,” said Paulley.

Meanwhile, TransLink has set its dates for a second round of open houses on the Pattullo Bridge project.

The rst is Thursday, June 21 from 2 to 8 p.m. at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus with another at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall on Saturday, June 23 from 10 a.m to 3 p.m.

Another session will be held at the pensioners hall on Tuesday, June 26, from 2 to 8 p.m., and at Surrey SFU on Wednesday, June 27, 2-8 p.m.

Public plug-in stations aim to fan trend to zero-emission travelJeff [email protected]

Publicly accessible charging stations for electric cars will be set up in select Metro Vancouver regional parks.

The regional district plans to spend $64,000 setting up six to eight stations where electric vehicles can be plugged in while their owners enjoy a park visit.

Air quality planner Eve Fichot said Paci c Spirit, Boundary Bay and Capilano River regional parks are among those under early consideration for charging stations.

“We’re looking at ones that have a high visitor rate,” she said.

A Metro report also indicates Burnaby Lake Regional Park, Metro’s head of ce in Burnaby and the Annacis Wastewater Treatment Plant are other likely locations for public charging spots.

Metro environment and parks committee chair Heather Deal said the concept is to make it easy and convenient to recharge car batteries.

She said the more charging stations exist – particularly in areas where drivers tend to park for extended

periods – the more viable electric cars become and the less owners worry about running out of power.

“The easier you make it, the more convenient you make it, the more pleasant you make it, the more likely it is that people will actually decide to make this change in their lives,” Deal said.

Half of the cost of the pilot project is to be covered by the province’s $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund, which will nance 570 stations across B.C.

The 240-volt level 2 charging stations need four to six hours to fully charge an electric vehicle’s battery, but an hour or two typically provides enough of a top up to travel another 20 to 40 kilometres.

Metro already has 14 charging stations installed at its Burnaby of ces and Lake City operations centre for its own eet of electric vehicles.

Metro won’t attempt to charge users for the power, which it estimates will cost the region $1 per stall per day.

Some Metro directors were concerned about the optics of providing free fuel.

But of cials argue it supports the sustainability of the region.

Designated stalls will be marked for electric vehicles only.

Electric car chargers planned for regional parks

Echo Lin holds an electric car charging cable beside a Tesla electric roadster outside Metro

Vancouver headquarters June 6.

A handful of public charging stations exist in Vancouver but Fraser Basin Council spokesman Jim Vanderwal said the provincial fund will subsidize businesses and other agencies to sponsor charging stations at other points in the Lower Mainland.

Out-of-region haulers cut costs, others face higher waste billsJeff [email protected]

Commercial waste haulers are increasingly trucking the garbage they collect to private land lls outside Metro Vancouver to avoid high tipping fees and disposal bans that are enforced by the regional district.

The developing trend has alarmed Metro Vancouver staff and politicians because every load of garbage that leaves the region means less money is collected in tipping fees to support the xed costs of the waste management and recycling system, forcing those fees to climb higher for everyone else.

So far it’s estimated 50,000 tonnes of waste per year – ve per cent of the waste stream – has shifted to private out-of-region facilities, resulting in a loss of $5 million per year in tipping fee revenue for Metro. It’s mainly coming from businesses, industry and multi-family residential buildings served by private haulers.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s Zero Waste Committee, said the fear is the outward migration of garbage will accelerate.

“The reduction could grow

exponentially and then you’ve got a real issue,” he said.

“The trend could be a very dif cult one if we don’t address the situation. If you’re taking waste out of the waste stream that means the cost for those who remain is going to increase.”

Brodie said a big chunk of the 50,000 tonnes of outbound garbage is believed to go to a private transfer station in Abbotsford, where it’s shipped by rail to a U.S. land ll run by Rabanco near the Washington-Oregon border.

Allen Lynch, manager of the North Shore Recycling Society, said the option of routing trash through Abbotsford costs customers about $40 to $50 per tonne.

That’s less than half of Metro Vancouver’s $107 per tonne tipping fee, which was raised 10 per cent in the past year alone because falling garbage volumes shifted more of the cost to remaining users.

“It’s a very tough situation for Metro right now,” Lynch added. “The more they put the tipping fee up, the more they’ll lose.”

Besides the cost differential, private rms can offer the convenience of not having to divert recyclables that are banned from disposal by Metro.

“A hauler could approach a customer in Burnaby or the North

Shore and say ‘Don’t worry about sorting that stuff out, we’ll take care of it and we can give you a cheaper rate,’” Lynch said.

But there’s no guarantee loads will ultimately be recycled in the U.S. or some other out-of-region destination at the level required within Metro, Lynch said.

The hauler is also no longer subject to occasional Metro surcharges for loads that break the rules because someone has thrown banned material in a bin, Lynch noted.

Rival waste rms that keep using Metro facilities, meanwhile, face a dif cult decision: lose business to competitors who have started hauling east to the Fraser Valley or else join them.

“It creates an uneven playing eld,” said Metro solid waste

department manager Paul Henderson.

Tipping fees have steadily climbed more than 60 per cent since 2006, when they were just $65 per tonne.

Henderson said the fee for 2013 is being recalculated now, but he could not say what it will be.

Private-only waste facilities have lower costs in part because they deal exclusively with big bulk customers, not individual families that drive up with tiny loads, require more assistance and expect to pay in cash.

Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties are teaming up to bring the Brewery District to New Westminster. Located in historic Sapperton, directly connected to SkyTrain and beside the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District will offer something for everyone.

“We believe that the Brewery District will be an exciting and vibrant place to live, and that it is an important part of the future of New Westminster,” says Bluetree President Ben Taddei. “We are pleased to become a part of this community and the vision set out by Wesgroup, with the development of its residential buildings.”

The first high-rise tower will have 130 suites, and will start sales this winter.

“A strong and reputable builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community,” says Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup.

Eventually the development will include approximately 750 homes, space for almost 100 new businesses and the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters, which are currently under construction.

Turning into the driveway of Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community, you immediately feel a sense of calm. Your shoulders relax, your head clears and you breathe a sigh of relief. Your new home at Hampstead at Silver Ridge awaits, surrounded by trees and green space, blending perfectly into the beauty around it.

“It’s a quiet, natural setting,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. “That appeals to a lot of people.”

The 105-acre master-planned community of Silver Ridge in Maple Ridge has been in development for years, and Hampstead is the latest phase. Building on the popularity of past phases like Brighton and Stoneleigh, Hampstead features many of the beautiful details that have been so popular before, and adds a few unique touches of its own.

“We really raised the bar for Hampstead,” Steine says. “There’s something for everybody.”

The three- and four-bedroom single-family homes have seriously gorgeous exteriors, with custom stone detailing, natural-stained wood beams, heritage-style front doors and professionally landscaped front and back yards. Curb appeal will never be a problem at Hampstead!

Moving inside, you’ll find inviting foyers featuring custom tile flooring

and nine-foot ceilings on the main level. Most plans include dramatic vaulted ceilings, which lend a huge sense of space to your new home. The five different floorplans, ranging from over 2,030 to 3,526 square feet, all have a great room layout, so you’ll easily be able to entertain in high style around the energy-efficient fireplace that features a custom-crafted wood mantel.

The kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with a work island with an eating/conversation bar, full-height tiled backsplash, shaker-style cabinets and pot lights throughout. Those pot lights are featured throughout the home, so harsh lighting is a thing of the past.

The master suite is an oasis of calm, with spacious walk-in closets, soaker tubs in the ensuite, granite bathroom countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile

tub surround and ensuite floor.When you actually want to leave

your home (you may not after seeing all the amazing things inside it), you’ll find a community backing on spectacular natural green space.

“It’s becoming more difficult to find green space,” Steine says. “That’s what we really can provide here.”

Portrait has been honoured with 105 major industry awards for Silver Ridge, including the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada this year. They were also awarded a Special Platinum Award this year by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia for winning 27 Georgie Awards in the past 11 years.

“The community itself is probably

one of the most awarded communities in B.C,” Steine says. “There’s a lot to be said for that.”

Right now buyers are able to take advantage of buying a home before construction begins, so they can choose their colour scheme and have the opportunity to take advantage of the upgrades that Portrait is offering.

“It’s been extremely popular so far,” Steine says, adding that several homes have already been sold and people are coming through the sales centre all the time.

“Build it and they will come!” he laughs. “That says a lot about the community.”

Homes start in the $450,000s. For more information, visit www.portraithomes.ca or call 604-466-9278.
