Onni Group has agreed to pursue three ideas to reduce the need for parking at its proposed rental housing project in Victoria Hill, but city council is looking for more. As one of the final projects in the planned Victoria Hill development, Onni is proposing to provide 100 nonmarket rental units and 85 market units. In May, Onni asked the city to reduce the requirement from one stall per unit to .8 and to have a visitor parking rate of .1 per unit instead of .2. Since then Onni has said it will provide a co-op vehicle and a space for it, make surplus parking spaces available on an adjacent site, and provide outlets for electrical vehicles. That would reduce the parking Onni would be required to provide under current guidelines from 266 spaces to 255 while in turn increasing the number of stalls Onni is willing to provide from 166 to 168.

River Market looks to add offices, school Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
River Market is asking the city to change its zoning to permit commercial schools, and business and professional offices as tenants. The market is the only property zoned C-4A, which was specifically crafted for the original market on the Quay. It limited the uses so they wouldn’t conflict with those allowed in Downtown New Westminster. A report to council Monday said the market approached city planners to change the zoning to allow for the opening of Hanson International Academy. It would prepare students for post-secondary education and offer college level courses on the market’s second floor. The school projects a
maximum enrolment of 80 students. The report said inquiries have also been made about office space in the market. “Business and professional offices would contribute to a more synergistic mix of land uses and would be supportive of the other commercial uses in the River Market,” said the report, which recommended offices be limited to the market’s second floor leaving the ground floor for retail and food outlets. The report, written by senior planner Barry Waitt, said the city’s planning department can’t foresee any negative impacts from allowing schools and offices at the market, and their addition should help “in the economic viability and sustainability of the River Market.”
FIre FIGhtInG bOOt cAMp New Westminster fire department hosted its junior firefighter program earlier this month at the Queensborough fire hall. The program, in its third year, gives exposure to many of the duties of a firefighter, including hose handling, technical rescue and auto extrication, to Grade 11 students from New Westminster secondary school. “It encourages them to work as a team and learn how to interact,” says Kathy Ius, the coordinator of the program, which is run in conjunction with the parks and recreation department and the Justice Institute. “It also helps them get over their fears, expand their horizons and expose them to a possible career choice.”
Fake cop targets vet A New Westminster veterinary business appears to have been the victim of a man impersonating a police officer. New West police say the man entered the store on the evening of July 2 and sat in the lobby for about 20 minutes. Another customer was in the store and paid his bill in cash. After the customer left, the suspect showed a police badge and asked to see the cash the previous customer had paid saying “there was an investigation.” He was given the $250 and the suspect gave the receptionist a fake police file number and left, saying he would return but didn’t. Police say the suspect has been described as being Caucasian, about 30 years old with brown hair, stubble, a yellow/brownish sweater jacket. He was about five-foot-nine with a medium build and a scar on the lower left side of his lip. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call New Westminster police at 604-525-5411.

Victoria should deal with smoke not cities: council ‘Checkerboard’ bylaws across region bothers Harper
outdoor gathering places such as playgrounds, playing fields, stadiums; and bus stops. The city has a smoking bylaw, but a staff report to council on Monday said enforcement is unnecessary because it has been made redundant by provincial regulations. The report said amending the bylaw would impose demands on staff resources. When asked by health authorities, some cities in the region have changed their bylaws, but others like Burnaby have resisted saying smoking restrictions are a health issue and should be taken up by the province.
Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
City council is upset with Fraser Health for asking it to change its smoking bylaw instead of going up the governmental food chain and requesting the provincial government make the rules the same across the province. Fraser Health wants New Westminster to ban smoking from: within 7.5 metres of doors, windows and air intakes; restaurant and pub patios; parks, beaches and trails; public
“What we’re getting is a bunch of checkerboard laws. Maple Ridge has done it, Vancouver has done it, but they’re not all the same,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “I have a tendency to agree with that.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said it was the right move in the 1990s to develop regional health boards instead of the city-funded ones, so for the health authority to come to local government instead of the province doesn’t make sense. “I think it strange they are coming to municipalities to engage in bylaws that vary from municipality to municipality, and the enforcement vary from municipality to municipality,”
said Puchmayr. “To ask the local governments to spend resources what could be done with a stroke of a pen in Victoria [doesn’t make sense].” The issue caused quite a bit of debate at the council table Monday. Harper said banning smoking in all of public parks doesn’t make sense when at the same time it’s legal to smoke outside on the street as long as its outside the 7.5 metre barrier. “Not only that but we can’t enforce it. How can you enforce that?” said Harper. “We have trouble enforcing our bylaws now.” Council asked city staff to take into consideration the councillors’
comments in coming up with its response to Fraser Health. The report to council written by Keith Coueffin, head of the city’s licensing and bylaw department, said the majority of people are in favour of additional regulations, but there might be strong opposition from businesses that cater to smoking clientele. “In addition, some businesses will likely raise concerns regarding an ‘uneven playing field’ if New Westminster imposes regulations that are not implemented in neighbouring communities such as Burnaby. Furthermore, the city can anticipate complaints from some citizens,” wrote Coueffin.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Shine needs new boss Again on Sunday, the Royal City Show & Shine drew a massive crowd to Downtown New Westminster. And it’s a fantastic event, drawing in the neighborhood of 100,000 people to Columbia Street. It boosts the profile of New Westminster’s Downtown, as people come for a stroll and see all that it has to offer. But it shouldn’t be organized by the Downtown BIA. The hundreds of hours the BIA puts into organizing this massive one-day event each year would be better spent on efforts that would have more direct benefit for the merchants it serves. Yes, BIAs in other cities organize events. But they also focus on beautification of the area, promoting and branding the areas through advertising and other programs, and dealing with issues such as homelessness, graffiti, crime, transportation and accessibility. A BIA also acts as a resource, ensuring its members understand all the opportunities available. Some merchants did well last Sunday, such as Heritage Grill and Drink Urban Lounge, which had beer gardens. But many didn’t capitalize, and others weren’t even open. New West’s Downtown is gaining momentum, and is beginning to gain traction in people’s minds as a place to visit—and heck, maybe even make an afternoon of it, shopping, getting some lunch and making a trip to the park. It needs a BIA that has its energies focused on what matters most. It’s time to find someone else to handle the show and shine, whether it’s the Hyack Festival Association—the city’s arms-length festival manager—or to an event planning business on contract. On the surface, it wouldn’t make much difference to residents. But it would sharpen the BIA’s efforts, and the impact could be significant.

Looking to the future, and who will pay Last month’s grand opening of Westminster Pier Park can be seen in different ways. Maybe it was a symbolic baptism, as the heavens opened with a downpour of biblical proportions. Noah would have seen the visitors that day sloshing around the new riverfront jewel and said to his wife, Emzara, I believe I have some work to do. Or maybe it washed away any lingering doubts that the city was overreaching by investing so much into a piece of land that is still so bloody hard to get to. I took my parents for a tour on the sunny day that followed. It’s fun to show Outsiders around New West these days, there’s so much to see. The park was busy, and many were enjoying its many nods to history—the photographic panels of the city’s past, the hulking frame timbers of Lytton Square, the metal stencilled panels with Mandrake the Magician, QayQayt and Capt. William Irving and so on. But as we walked, I was pointing out where the new overpass would be built, the
Chris Bryan editor@newwestnewsleader.com
InterUrban building and how it blends a brick streetfront with a sleek glass tower, and the delapidated Trapp Block, where they’ll soon rebuild the facade and do something similar. Later, my mom made an interesting observation. “I saw a lot of people doing what you just did,” she said. “With their parents, showing them all the changes happening here. Usually it’s the other way around—the old folks talking about what used to be here, or recalling memories related to different places.” It was an interesting point. The old here has always carried such heft. There’s always so much to say about the city’s past. And judging by the crowd I saw on of Archie Miller’s Downtown tours

recently, interest remains keen. But this shift might be called the Weight of the New. Simply put, there’s so much new going on, we’re not just excited about what happened way back when, but also what’s happening today and what’s soon to unfold. PENNy FOR yOuR THOugHTS: Speaking of new, how do you feel about the city borrowing $59 million? Most of that will be used to finance construction of the office tower under construction atop the new civic centre at the foot of Eighth Street. Has the city’s lost its mind? Is the office tower business too much of a risk on your dime? Residents can stop it, but it will take a fast-moving, anti-HST style grassroots movement. Ten per cent of all registered will have to sign a form by Aug. 7, about 4,528 people. Once that’s done— and it appears Mayor Wayne Wright’s arch-nemesis James Crosty may be gearing up to give it a try, the city would have to put the borrowing to a city-wide referendum.

MIxED MESSAgES: It’s hard to fathom TransLink’s latest move on the Pattullo Bridge replacement project. Open houses continue, but things are at a stalemate, with New West unhappy with the idea of a sixlane bridge and Surrey annoyed by the Royal Resistance. TransLink has called for all three parties to convene to discuss the issues, but it doesn’t sound like they’re going to budge. TransLink’s Sany Zein recently told the NewsLeader: “We have been listening to the concerns expressed by ... New Westminster and we understand we need to better explain the work we have done so far.” It’s true that TransLink has been studying the Pattullo for years, and for people close to the issue, its conclusions should come as no surprise. But it’s hard to imagine what magical thing TransLink can say to suddenly convince people that six lanes and 30,000 more cars a day can be pretty, really, if you just look at it from a different angle.

Ban the bike noise Am I the only one tired of bikers’ noise around the city? Of course not, judging by the comments I hear continuously! But who is doing something about it? Apparently, the police can’t, alleging that the Motor Vehicle Act stipulates that tests only be given at idle (which allows the Hells Angels to tune their bikes so they can pass the test!).
LOC L tweets @chrismbryan
City of #NewWest says the new Pier Park was $740K over budget. Reasonable? @Obrassor Most well planned construction projects have a 7-10% contingency, so 2.9% is reasonable. @NWimby Less than 3% over budget, with the engineering hassles and legislative changes they had, is pretty impressive. @WetCoastLiving That is very impressive. @EdjoSadowski Especially compared with Moody Park Pool Boondoggle that didn’t have site challenges #newwest @chadleaman Agree. They can only hope to do so well on the office tower project... @frenchpressme I feel like that is not a huge amount of money to be honest. important to be accountable for costing, but look at the results! Tweet the NewsLeader on twitter
On the other hand, Attorney General Shirley Bond has indicated that there is a new law on bikers’ noise in the pipeline (pun intended). It’d better be before the election, but I don’t like pipe dreams! I suggested to her that we use some of the Air Care facilities or equipment to build mobile units that could tests those bikes on the spot. I dare say that this would add money to the provincial coffers and make our streets a little bit quieter. To sit idle will not make the problem disappear. So let’s start making some noise of our own! Peter Mare New Westminster
Need to plaN for the future New Westminster is experiencing renewed growth and in the coming years, it will continue to grow and develop. Recently, there has been public discussion about the possibility of moving City Hall Downtown, which raises the issue of how to repurpose the current City Hall property. As a city, technically, we have more students, more portable classrooms, and less school lands now than we did five to 10 years ago. Because the current high school replacement plans have been seriously hindered by the re-establishment of an active graveyard site, as well as the possibility that an historic Chilcotin First Nations Chief may be buried on site, it makes sense that any future changes to the current City Hall site be considered for school district purposes. Additionally, I would
suggest that those discussions include the federal and provincial governments’ share of responsibility in making restitution to the school district. At different points in time, the land was occupied by the Ministry of Defence, and there was also once a hospital on site. Communications on the matter of the NWSS lands have already been established with those partners. New Westminster school children have been wrongfully penalized for the historical actions of past government agreements and decisions. The loss to the school district of the designated cemetery lands, and the ongoing costs of the required site and soil investigations, is punitive to current and future generations of students. Compensation should be made to the school district for the recently incurred landloss and the city should play a significant role to achieve that objective. Ideally, city council could pursue a joint partnership with provincial and federal levels of government to issue compensatory lands to the school district; and/or a special dispensation that would allow the school district to use the entire NWSS parcel for the construction of a new high school. There is concern that inaction on this critical issue will compound today’s difficulties—for the school district, and Massey Theatre, as well as for the children and families of New Westminster’s future. For the benefit of all residents—similar to the city’s apology to the Chinese for past wrongs—an initiative
to resolve the current “wrong” being done to the school district should be made a priority consideration. Whatever course of action is determined, incorporating current plans for a monument of record to acknowledge any and all past wrongs done to our historical peoples should remain an important component of the resolution process. Park space, whether active or passive, is important to the livability of New Westminster, but so too is the education of our future citizens. Paul Johansen New Westminster
tragic story Re: Mother of accused of manslaughter kills herself This is sad. The mother was obviously going through severe depression, and likely other mental health issues. The authorities were so focused in determining whether she was guilty of manslaughter that no one gave thought to the need to put her through a psychological evaluation, and help her if she needed it. Our system definitely failed her and her child. Doug Meadows —online comment newwest newsleader.com

since it would cost nearly $1 million. The report also said Onni was unwilling to pay for 15 additional on-street parking spaces in Victoria Hill that may be available
That still leaves a difference of 87 spots. A city report said Onni has indicated adding another level of parking would not be financially viable
on city land. Coun. Bill Harper said he suggested some land between two of the Victoria Hill parcels could be used to add 15 stalls to the site. He said although
rental buildings usually require less parking than condominiums, the one small bus route through the area makes it less likely residents can do without a vehicle.

“That means some of those people will have more than one car, and some of them will be parking on the street,” said Harper. “It’s not considered a frequent bus route, and it’s only on frequent bus routes that the need for parking drops.”
Parking studies of the neighbourhood show a lot of the available underground parking in Victoria Hill buildings is unused while available street parking is tough to find. “We need to make sure people are parking in their stalls so
[visitors] can use those on the street,” said Harper. He also noted much of the street parking is taken up by workers at nearby Queen’s Park Care Centre, but enforcing parking regulations to make sure they are using the institution’s pay stalls is difficult.
‘I don’t see anything irregular’ ⫸

“That’s a really low way of approaching taxpayers and borrowing the money for this. The public has the right to know where the money is being spent,” said Crosty. “Whether it’s right or wrong, the motivation behind that is suspect to me.” Crosty said he is being encouraged to start up a campaign, similar to the one waged against the province’s imposition of the HST. However, as of earlier this week he was still contemplating whether to give it a go or not. “There’s a lot of people unhappy with this thing,” he said. Wright said the borrowing is no different than what the city did to pay for the Westminster Pier Park project and what other municipalities throughout the region
do. “We’re following all the rules,” said Wright. Although Coun. Chuck Puchmayr opposed the city’s decision to do the project on its own, he doesn’t object to the process that’s being carried out. “I don’t see anything there that is irregular, so I don’t understand the purpose of what [Crosty] was getting across,” said Puchmayr. “I have certainly no concerns about the process we are engaging in. The majority of council made a decision, the decision entails using reserves to build a significant project, so they decided to bolster the reserve pool to do the things required, and bridge the gap between building and receiving the casino gift money. There has to be an ability to do that. Everything brought forward is completely above board.”

Pier Park cost overrun doesn’t bother city council

Flyer Sale
City to use reserves and development cost charges to pay Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
Although Westminster Pier Park was $740,000 over budget, council members and city staff are happy it was only 2.9 per cent more than expected. The park was projected to cost $25.15 million but ended up costing nearly $25.9 million. On top of the project’s cost, the city also paid $8 million to purchase the property. The overrun has been attributed to the high cost of dealing with groundwater contamination, and changes to environmental regulations and reporting midway through the project. “I was extremely happy, quite frankly,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “If the environmental issues hadn’t have happened at all then we would have been well under budget. I’m thrilled, and everybody’s thrilled about the park.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the extra expenses were unavoidable and the overall money spent worth it. “Ten years from now you’re going to tell somebody what it was built for and they’ll say ‘thank God somebody had the vision,’ “ said Puchmayr. “We have limited park space and to

provide a waterfront park in any city in the world is pretty well unheard of. They built a beautiful park that we’re going to have forever.” City engineer Jim Lowrie said the environment ministry changes came about in mid-2010, and the cost estimate was prepared and based on conceptual plans in 2009. His report to council showed $1.88 million was spent on remediation and almost $4.3 million was expended on environmental investigation, testing and reporting. “It’s a very tolerable [overrun],” said Lowrie of the 2.9 per cent difference. He said the city will likely pay for the $740,000 through city reserves and development cost charges. Plans are in the works for a $1.25-million pedestrian overpass to connect the park to Downtown at the foot of Fourth Street. The east end of the park will remain blacktop for now. Lowrie said long-term plans for that area are being developed. The service life of the wood decking, however, is only 15 to 20 years compared to 75 years for the developed part of the park. Lowrie said ideally senior governments or community groups would be willing to partner with the city to find uses for it. Lowrie said a call for expressions of interest from operators for the
concession facility will soon be posted. The responses will determine whether the city will go with a private operator or use city staff. Some councillors at Monday’s meeting expressed the view it should be operated internally. “Council has to make that decision at the end of the day. There are pros and cons to both of course, depending on the type of concession that is desired,” said Lowrie. “It would likely be a seasonal concessionaire, so the value proposition on a private business might be different than if it were run by city staff. We’ll see what’s out there.”
Cops warn of lottery scam A New West senior lost more than $2,500 in a lottery scam recently. The man told police he’d received a letter in the mail from Reader’s Digest saying he won $50,000. He filled out the contact information and mailed it to a Montreal address. In June, he began receiving calls from a number in the United Arab Emirates saying to receive the prize money he must send money via Western Union, which he did but never received his winnings. Police say no legitimate lottery or company would ever ask for money before a winner can claim a prize. Anyone receiving a notice of winnings in which there is some doubt should contact the NWPD.

Time to back off a little and let them just be kids Madeline Levine Contributor
If you’re like many parents, your child’s summer may already be booked up with “enriching activities.” Maybe you’re shipping him off to a rigorous math or computer camp designed to give him an academic edge. Or perhaps she’ll be living at home but attending an educational day camp or an intensive sports camp. At the very least you’re using the break from school to double up on her (already daunting) schedule of gymnastics and dance classes, supplemented with an ambitious summer reading list. When will your child have time to play? Just… play? It’s too bad that the old-fashioned notion of summer as endless free time—to climb trees, chase fireflies, build a fort in the woods, maybe set up a lemonade stand—has fallen by the wayside. This is what kids need—they need it far more than they need a high-priced summer camp or some other program aimed at cramming a little bit more learning into their exhausted brains. Play is serious business. We tend to see it as wasted time, but it’s actually anything but. Play is the work of childhood. It’s a classroom in which children develop a whole set of skills that really matter in life. Indeed, research shows that children who attend play-based preschools, as opposed to academic preschools, do significantly better in school down the line. David Elkind, one of the country’s most knowledgeable (and beloved) experts on child development, says that “play is essential to positive human development.” He recognizes that there are different types of play: play that teaches children concepts and skills, play that initiates children into the world of peer relations, and play that helps kids develop strategies for dealing with stress. What these variations on play have in common is that they are self-initiated and selfdirected—the playing child is calling the shots. If a child goes into his room and strums on his guitar because he loves it, that’s play. Please see Give your kids, A12

Play is the work of childhood, important for developing a creative, independent mind. Summer is a great time to just give your child some extra space to enjoy it, independently, or with friends.

When an instructor comes into the picture and starts “teaching guitar,” the child may enjoy the experience but he’s no longer playing. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children play outside as much as possible, for at least 60 minutes a day. Unfortunately, almost half of our children aren’t getting any time outside. Sending kids outside to play more often would not only go a long way toward combating our childhood obesity problem, it would simultaneously allow kids to enjoy more unstructured play. Most experts agree that kids should have twice as much unstructured free time as structured playtime. Every child is different, but as Ken Ginsburg, MD, a leading expert on resilience, says, “What every child needs is free, unscheduled time to master his or her environment.” If you really want to up the ante, consider that tomorrow’s adults may need the skills developed by play—innovation, collaboration, problem solving, and so forth—more than any other generation before. The global economy demands them. This makes it even more ironic that time for free, unstructured, self-directed play is at an all-time low. So what, exactly, is it that makes play so valuable? It miniaturizes the world so that kids can deal with it. Play primes children for learning. Toddlers, for instance, love to climb up and down stairs. This allows practice in reading visual cues—i.e., the height of each stair—that plain-old walking doesn’t provide. School-age children play games that have rules, which initiate them into the social institutions they’ll live and work in all their lives. Consider the complexities involved in a simple game of chase. The running and turning and ducking under and climbing over obstacles develops motor skills, but that’s just the beginning. Kids have to agree on the game and cooperate with each other, which are social skills. They also have to determine who’s going to be the leader, who’s going to be the follower, and when it’s time to renegotiate the roles. Solitary play, too, provides plenty of problemsolving practice. Watch a young girl playing with her dollhouse and talking to the dolls: If her “child” steals a cookie from the cookie jar she may try out different ways of handling the situation. Does she scold the child? Bash her over the head? Kick her out of the house? Business leaders say that today’s young workers have a serious dearth of problem-solving skills. While it may seem counterintuitive, making more time for play may give your child a serious edge when she enters the business world. Kids who have no down time and no time for unstructured play never get to know themselves. They know only who others tell them they are. Getting to know oneself takes time and emotional energy, and when all that is spent trying to get a leg up on an academic career, or become the best soccer player on the field, there is no time left for the internal work of child development. • Madeline Levine, PhD, is a clinician, consultant, and educator; the author of New York Times bestseller The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well; Parenting for Authentic Success.

Salmonbellies seeking WLA playoff spot The New Westminster Salmonbellies will have a rough road to navigate if they hope to avoid being left out of the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs for the first time since 2004. The Burnaby Lakers won a showdown for third place by downing the Salmonbellies 9-4 at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday. The win gave Burnaby a 6-5-2 record which tied the Lakers with Victoria (7-5-0), although the Shamrocks had a game in hand. The Salmonbellies’ record dropped to 6-7-0 which put them in a tie for fifth with Coquitlam (6-6-0) with the Adanacs having played one fewer game heading into Thursday night’s game against first-place Langley (10-4-0). In the last five seasons the Salmonbellies failed to finish first only in 2009 when they came second. The Lakers and ’Bellies were tied 3-3 midway through the game before Burnaby busted out with six of the game’s final seven goals. Alex Gajic had

two of New West’s goals with the others going to Sean Robinson and Corbyn Tao. The Salmonbellies will be in Victoria on Tuesday before playing host to Nanaimo next Thursday starting at 7 p.m. Last Thursday, the Salmonbellies downed the Maple Ridge Burrards 8-5 at Queen’s Park Arena despite being outshot 54-35. Tyler Richards made 49 saves and Kevin Crowley and Jordan McBride each scored two goals. Crowley also added three assists while McBride had two. Other Salmonbellies goal scorers were Mike Berekoff, Kyle Ross, Robinson and Kevin Lunnie. The Burrards outshot the ’Bellies 19-8 in the third period when New West was assessed four minor penalties, including two to Wade DeWolff with less than five minutes remaining. Maple Ridge didn’t score on the double minor until only 64 seconds were left in the game.

Jr. ’Bellies to face Shamrocks The New Westminster Salmonbellies will face the Victoria Shamrocks in the opening round of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs. The Salmonbellies finished the regular season in third place with a 14-6-1 record, a point less than the Delta Islanders (14-5-2) and three back of the Coquitlam Adanacs (16-5-0). While Coquitlam and Delta get a bye, New West will play a best-of-three series with Victoria which finished sixth with a 9-12-0 record. It will open at Queen’s Park Arena on Saturday, 5 p.m., with Game 2 in Victoria on Sunday. If a third game is necessary it will be Tuesday in New West. The Langley Thunder and Port Coquitlam Saints will play in the other first-round matchup. The ’Bellies finished off the regular season by beating the Burnaby Lakers 9-4 at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday. Anthony Malcom potted five points with a goal and four assists. Keegan Bal had a goal and three assists. Luke Gillespie and
Josh Becker both scored twice with other goals going to Ryan Schmidt, Reese Robinson and Reagan Harding. The previous night in Coquitlam, however, the Adanacs slammed the Salmonbellies 16-5 thanks mainly due to a strong second period when the A’s outscored the ’Bellies 7-1. Bal had two goals and two assists with the other New West markers coming from Drew House, Josh Byrne and Gillespie. Last Wednesday, the Salmonbellies and Islanders played to an 8-8 tie in Ladner. The Isles actually held a 7-6 lead heading into the final minute of OT. Harding tied the game with 54 seconds left, but Delta’s Tyler Nett put the home squad in front again 19 seconds later before Bal tied it once again 15 seconds after that. Bal, Harding, Bryne and Brandon Goodwin all scored twice for the Salmonbellies. Harding, Byrne and Goodwin also had two assists while Malcom had four.

in bad faith by refusing to discuss wages and benefits until a provincial review of the corporation concludes. The two sides are expected to resume negotiations later this month. COPE 378 issued 72-hour strike notice in June but union leaders indicated they would ramp up job action very slowly in an effort to pressure the government without affecting drivers.
Real estate sales sag Greater Vancouver home sales hit a 10-year low in June, down more than 27 per cent from a year ago. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver called it further evidence of a buyer’s market where potential purchasers have more to choose from and don’t have to race to beat out other bidders. Despite weakening sales there’s been little sign so far of home prices dropping significantly. The benchmark residential property price declined 0.7 per cent from May to June and was still up 1.7 per cent from a year ago. Benchmark prices ranged from $961,600 for single detached houses (up 3.3 per cent from June 2011) to $376,200 for condos (up 0.3 per cent) and $468,400 for attached
homes (down 0.1 per cent.) Sales counted by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board were down eight per cent since June 2011, although the realtor association said the ratio of sales to listings in the Valley has held steady. Fraser Valley benchmark prices for detached houses were up 3.6 per cent from a year ago to $551,000 in June, while townhouses held even at $305,000 and condos were up 0.7 per cent to $203,600.
Civilian oversight agency coming B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office (IIO) will open Sept. 10, providing a civilian-led unit to probe deaths and incidents of serious harm involving police officers. The opening comes several months late and two years after the province first committed to creating a police investigations agency headed by civilians, so police forces no longer investigate each other. “The goal of the IIO is to conduct fair, competent, bias-free investigations in a timely fashion and publicly report on the results of our investigations,” said IIO chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal. Twenty-six investigators have been hired so far and the unit is to have a total of 60 investigators, management and
other administrative staff once fully operational. Investigators must not have served as police officers in B.C. within the last five years, and police are compelled by law to report incidents under its mandate.
Transit pass forgers busted Two Vancouver men are accused of making and selling counterfeit transit passes. Transit Police say James Stuart Richardson, 47, and Daniel Blair, 65, are charged with forgery and related offences after a six-month investigation into the circulation of high-quality made-to-order fake transit passes that are normally issued by the Ministry of Social Services and Housing. Officers conducted a sting that led to the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of computers, laminators, printers and several dozen passes ready to sell. It’s estimated the forged passes denied the transit system more than $200,000 in lost revenue.
Aldergrove park plan advances Metro Vancouver will proceed with the development of plans to enhance Aldergrove Regional Park in southeast Langley. At least that’s what the region is calling the former Aldergrove Lake Regional Park for now, pending a final decision on a new name. The lake reference is being dropped since the regional parks department drained the popular swimming hole in 2011 to comply with more stringent public health regulations. Metro staff say they’re considering various trail and facility upgrades, providing more routes for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. An open house is expected in late September and a draft management plan is to come back to the Metro board for approval this winter. It’s not yet clear where money will come for any actual upgrades of the park that do make it into a final plan. - Jeff Nagel

‘This is really something out of the ordinary’
Solo David has views and architecture all in one by Kerry Vital
Standing on your front steps outside Solo David by Mosaic Homes, you see the Lower Mainland stretching before you. Situated in a fantastic location on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, the views are simply out of this world. “Architecture, views, value: it’s all there,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “This is really something out of the ordinary.” He’s not exaggerating. With large windows and Solo David’s northsouth facing location, you’ll be able to see beauty from every angle. Built in a classic Tudor style, with recessed entries, oversized eight-foot doors, wood trim and a stucco finish, the exteriors themselves are almost like works of art. Each home is three storeys. Two-car garages are at the rear with a walk-out entrance to the main floor and a fenced backyard.
“
These homes won’t last,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”
With only 16 three-storey homes in the project, ranging from 3,516 to 3,522 square feet, Solo David is an exclusive community that is perfect for families of all sizes. With the ability to add a suite or an extra bedroom, it’s easy to make your home fit your lifestyle. “It’s really flexible for families,” Trent says. Inside, the homes are modern and contemporary, with laminate flooring and an open-plan layout. Buyers are able to choose between a threeand four-bedroom configuration, depending on your needs. The lower level offers plenty of options for customization, whether you want to build a mortgage helper, a large entertainment space or a home office. The possibilities are endless, Trent says. Heading up the stairs, the main living area opens before you. With nine-foot ceilings, the sense of space is incredible. The kitchen is huge, with tons of storage space and elegant quartz countertops. “This is a massive dining room,” says Trent. The show home features a table set for eight, but you could fit at least 10 people in the space. Beside it, the living area is complemented by the large bay window and a flex space that can be used as a library or extra living space. Upstairs, the master bedroom is the

epitome of comfort, with its walkin closet and coffered ceilings that continue in the ensuite bathroom. “This is a stunning bedroom,” Trent says. “There’s just nothing like it.” One of the fabulous features here is the large window seat that affords you yet another beautiful view. Those views will never disappear, Trent says, since Mosaic will also be building Riley, a collection of Tudor rowhomes which complements the streetscape and does not impede the scenery. The other bedrooms on the upper floor are spacious and inviting. A flex space is featured up here as well, so you can decide to close it off to make a fourth bedroom, or leave it open to use as a playroom or office space. The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 14 at noon, and Mosaic is expecting a great turnout. “These homes won’t last,” says Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.” Homes start at $699,900. For more information, visit www.solohomes.ca or call 604-878-SOLO (7656). The Home Store is located at 3471 David Avenue.
