New Westminster has been telling its story as the Royal City, British Columbia’s first capital, built by the Royal Engineers, etc., for more than 150 years.

Neal and Melinda Michael are helping spark the narrative for the city’s next 150 years.

They’re doing that by hosting New Westminster’s first PechaKucha night on Jan. 24 at the River Market.

PechaKucha is Japanese for chit chat. In 2003 a Tokyo architectural

firm seeking to build buzz for an experimental event space they’d built invited young designers and architects to make short audiovisual presentations consisting of up to 20 images that are each shown for 20 seconds.

By 2004 the concept had spread to Europe then worldwide. There are now PechaKucha nights in more than 600 cities from Aalborg, Denmark to Zurich, Switzerland.

The format of 20 slides for 20 seconds format is tightly controlled and all events must be vetted by the PechaKucha organization that is

The school district is applying for a conservation permit to test soil conditions at New Westminster secondary, but not in the area were cemeteries previously existed.

The tests are to verify the scope of work required for construction of a replacement school before a project proposal is submitted to the Ministry of Education, said schools project director Jim Alkins.

The sampling will likely be done through a combination of drilling and digging.

It will be conducted around the present Massey block (near the corner of Eighth Street and Eighth Avenue) as well as the buildings and fields at that end of NWSS. Those are the areas where the district plans to eventually build the new high school.

For example, said Alkins, the district needs to find out if there’s oil in the ground below where the automotive shop was, which would require an environmental cleanup.

Although some testing to measure a variety of soil conditions was done in 2008, some of the standards have changed and the district has to make sure it is in compliance with environmental regulations, Alkins said.

Meetings to start the process of selecting a design-build contractor for the new middle school are expected to begin in the next month. It will be built at the site of John Robson elementary, which will be taken down once the new elementary is built.

‘Celebration’ marks end of immigrant programs

Shelter seeks donations

No more funding for settlement services and mentorship programs Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

There was a ‘celebration of life’ of sorts Tuesday.

It was a short life that did a lot of good, but it came to its end after just a few years, and there’s another one in the works to replace it, at least temporarily.

strings, Ottawa has historically concentrated its resources on anti-racism programs instead of settlement services like Gateway.

“It’s hard to know, but we’re seeing some more conservative shifts with federal decisions lately so that concerns me come next April,” said Embree.

Embree said so many of Canada’s newcomers are arriving from war-torn countries or have experienced high levels of trauma few Canadians have ever encountered, so there’s a high need for settlement services similar to those provided by Gateway.

FSGV ran the mentorship program, which was so successful the NewsLeader received three letters during 2011 praising it.

“We decided we can’t conclude the program without a celebration,” said Maylen Crespo, a FSGV coordinator for the program.

“If you let people know [what’s available] and give them all the tools to integrate into the community that makes people happier.”

According to the Purpose Society the Gateway program used 125 volunteers to service 349 newcomers in more than 30 languages and 40 countries.

“We’re starting at the beginning. We won one seat in the federal parliament. It’s not great, but it’s a start,” said Teather.

In 2009, the Green Party’s candidate in New Westminster, Matthew Laird, garnered nine per cent of the vote.

Teather said he is in the process of nailing down what issues are important to New Westminster voters but what stands out to him is the Pattullo Bridge and how its possible replacement could affect traffic through the city. He also has questions about the potential for dust from the proposed coal terminal on the Surrey side of the Fraser River possibly floating across to Downtown New Westminster.

He said he plans to talk with local group New Westminster Environmental Partners to hear their issues of concern as well.

OPINION

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

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Back in business

LAST WEEK:

The NHL is back in business.

After five months of sportscasts that sounded more like business reports as owners and players argued their cases for the protracted labour dispute that kept arenas dark, teams returned to the ice to prepare for a truncated season that begins on Saturday.

Some teams are trying to make amends, to salve the wounds that three difficult lockouts in 19 years have wrought on ticket-buying fans. The Vancouver Canucks are cutting prices at their concessions and giving away the jerseys their players will wear in their home opener. The Edmonton Oilers held their first practice on a frozen pond, using Twitter and Facebook to alert fans.

Canadians generally, and hockey fans in particular, are pretty forgiving. It’s likely the arenas in the NHL’s six Canadian cities will be just as full and noisy had the season been at its proper midway point. Those who can’t get a ticket, or afford one, will be tuned in to Hockey Night in Canada, a Saturday night TV tradition for more than 60 years.

By the time the race for the Stanley Cup playoffs heats up in earnest, say in two weeks, most fans will probably have forgotten there was a lockout in the first place. Especially in Toronto. After all, their team might already have been out of it had the season started on schedule last October.

It’s hard for the average working person to relate to a labour dispute between billionaire owners and employees who earn millions of dollars. There were never any picket lines set up outside those glittering arenas, many of them built with help from taxpayer money. Locked-out players never huddled around fire barrels to stay warm, worrying about how their strike pay will cover the rent.

Perhaps both sides should pause and think about that the next time they threaten to put hockey on hold.

Inconvenient truth of oil pollution VICTORIA – A study of six northern Alberta lakes conducted

by Environment Canada and other scientists was published last week, generating headlines around the world.

“Oil sands toxins ‘accumulate in freshwater systems,’” the BBC announced. The headline in The New York Times declared: “Oil sands industry in Canada tied to higher carcinogen level.”

The study was reported with similar alarm across Canada.

It looked at levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in lakebed sediment, and found levels measurably higher than natural sources since oil sands extraction began 50 years ago.

Most news reports I saw made little or no effort to put this information into context, in terms of the actual risk to humans, fish and other organisms. Some quoted people they knew would scream bloody murder, because as we in the media are taught, conflict and fear attract an audience.

As expected, U.S. environmental groups and their Canadian branch offices ramped up the rhetoric to battle their

favourite villain.

At least one major Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a responsible job. Its report on the study stated “PAH pollution level remains low – on par, at worst, with an urban lake – but is rising.”

In fact, five of six lakes tested were far below average contamination of urban lakes.

PAH fallout is a daily constant of urban life, from vehicles, industry, and particularly where coal is burned for electricity.

To be clear, there are dozens of different forms of PAH. Some have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some have been linked to (but not proven to cause) infertility, immune disorders and fish mutations.

Coquitlam Lake or any urban reservoir, you are exposed to PAH pollution from human and natural sources. The risk from this is an ongoing focus of research, but this study confirms one thing: your exposure is likely greater in any urban area than it is downwind of the Alberta oil sands.

I argued this point with B.C.’s celebrity environmentalist Tzeporah Berman, who has shuttled back and forth from ForestEthics to Greenpeace in recent years. She took to her Facebook page to publicize a dramatic call to action from 350. org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times.

Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emissions. I argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of human-

caused greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry.

Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gases come from “heavy industry.”

I asked for her source. No response.

A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation.

Another 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations.

Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue.

Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

EMail letters@newwestnewsleader.com

Time to become more tax-competitive Re: Breathing life into main streets (NewsLeader, Jan. 11) I think the quickest way to improve New Westminster’s streets is to make running a business on them more competitive with surrounding municipalities.

The average value of a property in New West ranks 13 out of 16 for communities in Metro Vancouver, excluding Langley, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

However the Business Tax Rate is the secondhighest in the same area.

This tax rate excludes the “extra” costs business ratepayers are subject to, like metered water and sewage charges, and garbage removal. From personal experience I know that New West’s water and sewage rates are among the highest in the Lower Mainland.

It’s high time this city started trimming the fat and lowering taxes for both businesses and residents alike.

Harm Woldring New Westminster

Writing for sd40 is on the Wall

If Jonathan Coté is truly interested in seeing a vibrant business community here, he should use his position on city council to reduce the costs local businesses face so they can compete with similar business in neighbouring cities and communities.

Talking about revitalizing our city and actually achieving results means making hard decisions and reducing the cost of running this small municipality.

Re: ‘Yea’ for School District 40 (Letters, NewsLeader, Jan. 4) I need to clarify why School District 40 should be dissolved.

We have been dealing with the school issue for 15 years now. Good money has been spent for surveys, drawings, discussions … and still don’t have a viable plan for the high school.

One thing I would like to clear up with Mr. Pomper is that I am not dissatisfied with the teaching going on and I have a deep respect for what the staff at all our schools have to put up

with. I also have had children go through the New West school system and back then we were dealing the same issues as today.

To say amalgamation with Burnaby would result in us not having fair representation is ridiculous.

It would not be in the best interest of Burnaby to ignore the needs of what should be former district 40.

From a financial perspective alone it doesn’t make sense to continue as we are.

We already have crossborder students in both Byrne Creek as well as NWSS. Administration cost savings alone would be significant. Let’s also remember that just because we leave district 40 doesn’t mean all the money disappears—it would still be available but

with a larger tax base. My question really would be, does Burnaby want us with our education debt?

New West school trustee Casey Cook has told us in no uncertain terms that the request from the province to reduce our already strapped cash flow for education can’t happen since we already have an annual deficit of $2 millionplus, and this should be the writing on the wall to all that think School District 40 is no longer viable.

We can still vote for those involved from the New West system should they decide to run in the Burnaby district, and it isn’t as if we won’t have a say.

The reasons for amalgamating are financial, and have nothing to do with historical value or whether we are happy with the education our kids are getting in New Westminster.

While Mr. Pomper makes a valid point about a community having a say or control over issues, education is not municipal.

It is provincial and from a fiscal perspective SD40 has reached the end of an era. We don’t have the money and it looks like we won’t.

There comes a time in everyone’s life where truth isn’t pleasant but given our financial resources available, the 15-year track record, trustee issues and administration costs, you’d have to be wearing blinders not to see the writing on the wall.

Kinder Morgan Canada now plans to boost its proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline from 750,000 to 890,000 barrels per day, bringing more oil tankers to Vancouver harbour than previously announced.

The nearly 20 per cent increase in the planned capacity pushes the cost of the project up to $5.4 billion from $4.1 billion.

The company previously estimated the project would bring a five-fold increase in the number of tankers to about 25 a month or about 300 per year loading at its Burnaby terminal.

Company president Ian Anderson said he now expects up to 34 tankers per month – potentially around 400 per year.

The larger project reflects the recent signing of more longterm contracts with shippers, bringing the total committed volume on the twinned line to 700,000 barrels per day.

The remaining pipeline capacity would be sold on the spot market and Anderson anticipated that will be enough to supply existing customers, such as the Chevron refinery in Burnaby and other refineries in Washington State.

He framed the increased demand for the pipeline as a strong statement of support from the markets and Canadian oil companies, who are increasingly forced to sell oil at a discount because of the lack of pipeline capacity to get it to international markets.

“We are very, very pleased with the response from our customers,” Anderson said.

Asked if a further increase in Trans Mountain’s capacity could be proposed to meet even more oil company demand – perhaps if Enbridge withdrew its Northern Gateway pipeline proposal – Anderson did not rule the possibility out.

“It could,” he said. “But I can’t speculate on what our plans or design potential might be at that stage. This is the project we’re designing for right now.”

He said he’s hearing growing “concern and angst” from oil

producers about their ability to access markets.

“We are seeing more and more support and interest in our project,” Anderson said. “I wouldn’t say I could connect that interest directly with Northern Gateway’s prospects.”

Enbridge’s project would run across northern B.C. to Kitimat, extending oil pipeline over new ground and hundreds of salmon rivers, while Kinder Morgan’s would largely follow the existing 60-year-old pipeline’s 1,150-kilometre right-of-way from northern Alberta through Kamloops to the Lower Mainland.

Anderson said the bigger Trans Mountain capacity will require a larger pipe size – 36-inch diameter instead of 30 inch – in areas such as the Lower Mainland.

Kinder Morgan expects to file its formal application to build the pipeline with the National Energy Board by the end of the year. If approved, the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline could be operational late in 2017.

The company conducted initial public information sessions last year but much more is promised.

Camaraderie, Scotch and rocks on ice Century-old tradition of Strathcona Cup lands at Royal City Curling Club Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Nothing like a little scotch and rocks in the morning.

In this age of political correctness such a declaration needs clarification. In this case it’s a group of Scots who dropped into the Royal City Curling Club on Friday morning to throw some rocks as part of a century-old tradition called the Strathcona Cup. It first began in 1902, when the Royal Caledonian Curling Club in Scotland sent 25 curlers to Canada for a tour. A few years later, a Canadian team was invited so they could return the hospitality. Lord Strathcona, who drove The Last Spike for the CPR before moving back to Scotland and becoming president of the club, donated the trophy for the competition.

It has evolved to the point where every five years the cup is contested on either side of the pond. This time it’s the turn of the Scots to visit Canada with half of the 56 curlers starting their tour in the Maritimes and the other half in B.C. before meeting in Toronto in early February.

Despite the social traditions of

camaraderie over lunch or dinner, the host teams buying the visitors the first drink after a game and a table being set aside for scotch tasting, it’s a competitive get together. Every point scored on the

two tours counts toward the overall total.

Canada won in Scotland in 1998 and 2008, but the Scots won when it was last here in 2003.

off the ice briefly while skipping one of the Canadian teams Friday morning and said self-deprecatingly, “We may have a problem, they might be better than us.”

Tradition dictates a curler can only make the overseas journey once.

“I was at the right year to do it. I’m 61.

At 51, I thought I as too young. At 71, I’ll be dead,” cracked skip Greig Henderson, a third on the 1980 Scottish men’s champions.

“This is fun, but you want to win because Canada won it in Scotland five years ago, and Scotland won it 10 years ago here. There’s pressure. You don’t want to give up too much. Yesterday we went for a big gamble and ended up giving up five.”

Shortly afterward skip Billy Howat’s lead Ian Borland came off the ice and jabbed Henderson in the arm to say his team had just picked up a five-ender to cancel off the one given up by Henderson.

If they don’t return to Scotland with the Cup, the 2003 squad members won’t let these guys hear the last of it. In fact Howat, who was the 1985 Scottish champion and had to play the world championships in Glasgow, said the pressure was harder to win here than there was in his home country 28 years ago.

The group traveled to Vancouver Island for a few days before heading to the prairies to not only hit the big cities like Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, but stop in smaller centres such as Lloydminster, Weyburn, and Brandon as well.

They’ll play 28 games in total.

“It’s a test of stamina,” said Henderson.

He lost his match Friday to a team skipped by Neil Houston, who is coach of Andrew Bilesky’s Royal City men’s team that recently qualified for the provincial championships. Houston won the 1976 world junior championships playing for Calgary’s Paul Gowsell and the 1986 world men’s title playing second for Ed Lukowich. Although he’s never participated in the Strathcona Cup, Houston can’t count the number of times he’s played in Scotland.

“It was good fun, and you know they’re coming out to try hard, they’re not giving you any freebies,” said Houston, who was the curling event organizer for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and will run the 2013 men’s championship in Victoria in April. “The big thing

Vancity branch focuses on the needs of people and their local communities When most of us think of our local credit union branch, we think of a place we visit to get a mortgage, secure a car loan or invest for retirement. But what if that branch was also a community hub, a place where people and organizations meet to work on and solve business and social issues that build the economic resilience of your community?

What if that branch was putting the needs of its community and its members first in everything it did, from the way it lends money, to the way it invests the savings of its members?

It’s called values-based banking and it’s an idea that Vancity is bringing to life in a new way inside two of its redesigned community branches in Burnaby and Port Coquitlam.

“As a credit union, we have a long history of focusing on helping members thrive financially while we build resilient communities. These branches bring that idea to life,” says Robin Matthews-Kanhai, branch manager at the South Burnaby community branch. “We call it a redesign, but it’s more than that, it’s a new way of doing business, a place where you can get the savvy financial services and advice you need, while helping build community.”

“I am blown away by the access to community engagement this branch has to offer, and the availability of tools to help serve the community,” he says.

There’s also a smaller professional meeting space called the Think Tank, where small business owners share ideas and discover solutions, not-for-profit organizations brainstorm the art of the possible, and members meet with their advisor to plan a great future.

The Community Stage is a presentation room that can be used for community groups to convene and action plan, host seminars and special events that encourage new connections, and hold town hall meetings to address relevant and urgent community issues.

B.C. movie business feeling squeeze Tom Fletcher

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is working on ways to hold onto movie, TV and video game production, as Hollywood shifts work to other provinces and countries that give attract them with generous subsidies and tax breaks.

But that won’t involve matching generous tax credits offered by Ontario and Quebec, said Bill Bennett, B.C.’s minister of community, sport and cultural development.

“I understand why the film and TV and digital media industries are concerned,” Bennett said in an interview Monday.

“What the film industry seems to want mainly is for us to match the tax credits that are available in Ontario, and we can’t do that.”

Bennett said he is working on a new policy that will “clean up and simplify” the business environment for the industry, which is looking at further costs as B.C.

prepares to phase out the harmonized sales tax in March.

Movie industry insiders say most of B.C.’s movie crews are out of work as 2013 begins. One of those is Lee Cleary, assistant director on such B.C.-made movies as The Hurt Locker, Fantastic 4 and the first X-Men movies.

“The last project that I worked on in B.C. was in 2009, on The ‘A’ Team,” Cleary said from his home in Vancouver, where he has lived for 10 years. “Since then the blockbuster films have not been coming here.”

In 2009, Ontario stepped up its tax credit for film and TV production to 25 per cent of all spending by foreign companies in the province. Since then, Ontario has passed B.C. as the third largest entertainment production centre in North America, after California and New York.

B.C. gives the industry a 33-per-cent refundable tax credit on labour spending only.

Quebec has also stepped

up its incentives, resulting in 20th Century Fox moving later movies in the X-Men series to Montreal.

Bennett said the B.C. government provided $1.2 million last year to BC Film + Media, a nonprofit society that offers financing, marketing and skills development.

Another $947,000 went to the BC Film Commission, a provincial

government office that helps producers secure permits, crews and shooting locations around the province. Another $235,000 was provided to regional film commissions last year.

Cleary said the rise of computer image techniques reduce the appeal of B.C. scenery to filmmakers. B.C.’s spectacular mountains can be added to a scene

“with a brushstroke,” and Hollywood studios are shopping the world for the best deal, he said.

B.C. still has a reputation for quality crews, beautiful locations and easy access to Los Angeles, but those things alone aren’t keeping big studio projects coming.

Cleary said B.C. residents are still finding work, but leaving the province to get it.
