The former Canadian Pacific Railway station sits regally next to Hyack Square in Downtown New Westminster, but its cracks are beginning to show and that’s causing concern amongst those who hold its historical value to the city near and dear.

Douglas Smith has been fired as executive director of the Hyack Festival Association, but the move is being disputed as unconstitutional by at least one member of the board of directors. In a press release late Wednesday afternoon, Hyack president Gavin Palmer said Smith was no longer affiliated with Hyack and would be replaced on an interim basis, starting Thursday, by Cathie Gibson. “It was a decision made by the executive committee and was exercised this morning,” Palmer told the NewsLeader. On legal advice, he would not reveal the reasons for the dismissal. Ron Unger, a member of the board of directors, said Palmer and the executive committee don’t have the authority to dismiss Smith. That only belongs to the board, which met Tuesday evening but did not discuss or vote on Smith’s dismissal, according to Unger.

Man charged following domestic dispute A Surrey resident appeared in court Tuesday on four charges related to a violent domestic dispute in New Westminster Monday afternoon. Police say multiple calls came in to 911 at about 4:20 p.m. reporting a man assaulting a woman in the 500 block of 16th Street. Officers found the woman but the male suspect had fled on foot. New Westminster police said an investigation determined a man had threatened the woman and a witness with a large knife before fleeing, and the victim and the suspect had some form of personal relationship. The suspect was traced to a home in the 1600 block of Sixth Avenue, but attempts to get him to surrender were unsuccessful. The Lower Mainland emergency response team was called in but before they arrived the suspect was taken into custody. Allen James Klassen, 42, of Surrey made his first appearance in court Tuesday charged with forcible confinement, breaking and entering, two counts of assault with a weapon and one of uttering threats.

Palmer told Unger of the move Wednesday afternoon. “I confirmed to him he has no authority to do so. Our constitution is explicit that only a board can hire an executive director. Whether you put interim in front of it or not it doesn’t matter,” said Unger. “I’m troubled with the actions of our president … There is by no means a majority on this to have this done.” Unger said the move will be discussed when the board meets again next Tuesday. “I hope to get to the bottom of what happened and what happened as a board, not just as a president acting alone,” said Unger. “To me my reading is absolutely clear neither the executive

He has done an excellent job and done not only a good job of fixing it but moving it forward,” said Unger. “I’m dismayed by what’s happened here.” The Hyack press release said Gibson “is well known and regarded in New Westminster and her knowledge and experience of the city will be a valuable asset to the association. Cathie will work with staff and the board to provide needed continuity until a permanent replacement is employed.”

for maintaining and renovating the building for the first 10 years of the lease with the rent rising for the final five years. Before those 10 years were up, Rodgers said a structural engineer hired by Westminster found several structural problems that hadn’t been dealt with. When The Keg closed, a spokeswoman said the situation was being assessed and an operations plan developed. NewsLeader attempts to reach her this week were unsuccessful. A Keg Royalty Income Fund quarterly report said the New Westminster location had been closed temporarily for substantial renovations, but none have been carried out. “Financially it doesn’t impact

me at all because at this point The Keg is paying the rent. [The building’s condition] will get exponentially worse if it doesn’t get fixed,” said Rodgers. “Their mindset seems quite illogical sitting there paying rent for a building.” Rodgers said The Keg has indicated to him they’re looking for a tenant to sublease the building, “but nobody is going to move in there the way it is.” He pointed out if The Keg continues to pay the $20,000 a month rent until the end of the lease it will have forked over about $1 million, which is what the repairs are estimated at. If The Keg wants out of the lease after it meets its contractual commitments, said Rodgers,

Westminster would be willing to open an establishment of their own. Rodgers and his partner also own and operate Mission Springs brewpub in Mission and the Billy Miner Pub in Maple Ridge. “We’ve had some conversations. They said they would live up to the responsibilities, and nothing happens,” said Rodgers, who endorsed the NWHPS’s listing the station at the top of its endangered buildings list. “I’ve never seen a vacant building improve. It just doesn’t happen. Four-legged creatures start moving in, if you’re lucky, and if you’re unlucky you’re going to have two-legged creatures moving in.” twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

THIS IS THE BEST HOME SELLING EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD! What can we say about Sandy and Lyle of Assit2Sell? First of all, they are very smart investors and very capable Realtors®. Their rich experience of being real estate investors themselves absolutely gives them an edge and helps with their careers as a Realtors®. They know how to make the best profit out of the least investment. When it comes to home selling, they are able to give the home owner the right suggestion as to how to make more by doing a little change here and there, they are sharp, know the trend well and have good taste as to renovating and decorating a property before it is put on the market. In our case, we interviewed five Realtors® and Sandy and Lyle were the only ones that gave us detailed

suggestions and told us that our property had a potential of making 30k to 50k more if we do as they said. When all other Realtors® told us our property should list at around $890k and hopefully sell at around $880k, Sandy and Lyle of Assit2Sell helped us net in $930k! And our investment? 12k as they suggested. Second of all, they are very attentive and hard working. This is the best home selling experience we have ever had. They are so attentive they even told us what colour they thought would be best to put on our walls. They have guided us to go through the whole selling process to make sure we never miss anything. They would come to where we live to discuss with us every detail and we felt like a lazy bone as we could sit back and just

relax and let them do all the work. They did take a great lot of load from our shoulders to make our home selling experience a lot less stressful. For a large family with two little kids and elderly parents, I bet you know what that means. Before finishing this testimonial, we would like to also mention their great personality. They are the most agreeable and some of the most lovely people we have ever met. We enjoy their company tremendously. If they are not busy, we would very much like to invite them to travel with us together, as we could imagine, how much fun we would have. They are so... funny! - Katherine & Steven

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Hampered Harper Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other political party leaders will be hitting the barbecue circuit across Canada, trying to keep ground troops motivated with a federal election two years away. Harper may come to this area again — he has often attended former senator Gerry St. Germain’s barbecue at his South Surrey ranch. The public likely won’t know if he does come, as the media are usually barred from attending. Interestingly, this is one reason why the barbecues are more important than ever for Harper this summer. For the first time since he has become Conservative party leader, he has an opponent with a formidable brand name — Justin Trudeau of the federal Liberals. While Trudeau is an untested commodity, thus far attack ads mounted by the Conservatives have had almost no effect. The Conservative brand itself has been badly tainted by the Senate expense scandal, and particularly by Senator Mike Duffy, a former member of the media who is facing numerous investigations. Because the prime minister has so little time for local media, most of whom have no interest in the battles between the Ottawa press gallery and the government, he foregoes the chance to get his message out. He has let himself become defined as an angry man, barricaded at 24 Sussex Drive, ranting at a long enemies list. While Trudeau is untested, and the Trudeau brand has glaring weaknesses in Western Canada, Harper may have finally met his match after demolishing three earlier Liberal leaders. He could have had trouble with the NDP under Jack Layton, but thus far Thomas Mulcair hasn’t done too much damage to him. Harper needs to reach the public without the Ottawa filter — and the barbecue circuit is one of the few ways he does so. —Langley Times/Black Press

Are rising gas prices changing habits? The soaring price of gasoline is on the minds of many people this summer. There is some evidence, mostly anecdotal, that it is starting to change people’s habits. I’ve heard that Vancouver Island is hungry for tourists this summer. While gas prices are just one factor—the main one being the huge expense of taking the ferry—they can’t be dismissed. Additionally, the long lines going to and from the U.S. are at least partially driven by gas prices. Even though gas prices there have also risen steeply, gas remains cheaper south of the border, largely because there is far less tax on gas in Washington state. Unfortunately, the cheaper gas price leads to more Canadians doing other shopping in the U.S. and killing two birds with one stone. They are also hurting local businesses and reducing local tax revenue.

Frank Bucholtz I was driving in a number of areas of Surrey last Sunday and was quite surprised at how few vehicles there were on the road, particularly as the Fusion Festival was on—an event that was supposed to attract 100,000 people. While many used transit, which is great, one would think some people might drive. But judging by the few vehicles I saw in the middle of the day, many people weren’t driving anywhere. The high levels of taxation on gasoline are the prime reason that gas is often $1.50 per litre in most parts of the Lower Mainland. When it hit that level in 2008,

people were outraged. This time around, it seems people are quietly fighting back. In my area of Langley, prices have been a little lower, mainly due to Costco opening up a gas bar and lowering their prices. This has caused other retailers to follow suit, although the prices just across the Surrey border in Cloverdale are often up to 10 cents a litre higher. TransLink and the provincial and federal governments aren’t about to lower gas taxes, even by half cent a litre. They are addicted to the revenue. That’s why we will never see the carbon tax go away. Even if it was scientifically proven that the earth was cooling, that tax is staying. And when a politician judges that he or she can get away with it, it will be boosted. While most people would live with high gas taxes if there was an alternative, that alternative

does not often exist in Langley and other areas of the Lower Mainland. People in these places have poor or no transit service, and that’s why they get angry when they hear about subways to UBC and gondolas to Simon Fraser University. World oil prices have risen, and that has something to do with our gas prices. But according to experts, it seems they have more to do with refinery shutdowns, wholesale prices and even the lack of pipeline capacity. One thing is for sure: Most people have no more money in their pockets than they did last summer. So with the price of gas as much as 20 cents a litre more than it was a year ago, that means many people are driving much less than usual. Frank Bucholtz is editor of The Langley Times.

Too many smokers leave a shameful mess I’m known to play devil’s advocate at times, but I really question the smarts that smokers have today. What makes smokers think that when they are finished their cigarettes they can just throw them out the window or into the flowerbeds surrounding this city? I’ve been taking pictures to prove a point, and since we haven’t had much rain recently to wash the cigarette litter into our drains to pollute and poison our waterways it is even more obvious. I’ve seen two boulevard fires started by careless discards. At Royal Columbian Hospital there should be no smoking on the property at all to begin with. They’ve supplied receptacles for cigarette waste, but the litter is stacking up. I’d like to see some law

enforcement put into place stating that if you insist on killing yourselves with smoke at least have the decency to dispose of your butts in the bins provided, and if you don’t have one you keep it until you can get rid of it in a garbage container. Signs that say littering comes with a specified fine should include fines for all those smokers that insist on chucking nasty butts wherever they finish their smoke. It wouldn’t take long and we’d have enough money in our coffers to pay for Westminster Pier Park, or at least hire more people to clean up the smokers’ mess. I know some smokers will cry foul but as a nonsmoker I can smell it when I’m driving five cars behind you and since smokers’ sense of smell has been damaged, they’ll have a hard time understanding

the impact it has on those around them. Honestly smokers, enough is enough. John Unger New Westminster

Betty Macintosh has revealed that her companions on city council forgot to send her the script for council’s discussion on how to spend the tornado of future revenues from our new flying cash-cow, trafficdistracter signs. Admittedly, the projects

may be laudable but, like many taxpayers, McIntosh questions council’s lack of concern about taxpayer priorities of Quebec-sized potholes and reducing the debt, along with the horrendous eight per cent increase in her property taxes. Not only that but like many of us outside the Chamber of Secrets she is puzzled by how operating costs of the Anvil Centre are going to be covered. Vladamir Krasnogor got

Our sister municipality Langley, where they considered eliminating the position of mayor to save costs, is trying to find a solution to “voter disengagement.” They proposed to institute a question period at council meetings that, if implemented, might produce real-time, nonscripted responses. On the other hand, like the federal question period we may just end up with self-serving, partisan and evasive Spinderella-type answers as taxpayers seek to find which councillors, in addition to McIntosh, will fit the transparency slipper.

New Westminster is safe if ever attacked by hordes of marauding huns. That’s because Blood and Iron Martial Arts, located on Carnarvon Street, has some of the best sword fighters in North America after the school’s tournament team won seven medals at Longpoint 2013, a competition of Historical European Martial Arts held in Maryland. The success is just the latest for the battlers from Blood and Iron, which was started by Lee Smith four years ago and recently outgrew its first location on Front Street for bigger digs on Carnarvon. That growth has

been fueled by the popularity of such TV shows as Game of Thrones and The Vikings, says Smith. But it’s also testament to his academy’s approach of fusing ancient battle techniques with modern sports mechanics. There’s no steel armour or protective furs hanging on the wall hooks; students spend as much time working on strength, endurance and agility drills as studying battle manuals from the 1600s. It’s the blend of old and new that attracted Sean Franklin, a competitive kayaker from Maple Ridge. As his paddling days waned he wanted to stay in shape. The medieval martial arts

gave him that burn and allowed him to pursue his growing interest in collecting swords. “It’s a modern approach to an ancient art,” says Franklin, who won a gold medal in heavyweight Das Grublein, a form of grappling in which opponents try to knock each other off balance, a silver in cutting and finished first in a special triathlon that combined competitors’ scores in Das Grublein, cutting and steel longsword. Smith says in the two to three-minute battles that are typical of top competitions, technique will usually win out over brute force. “You need strong technical knowledge,” says Smith, who won a gold in steel longsword.

“You can either employ the technique properly, or you lose.” While competitors get to know each other as they travel to events in places like Mexico, Calgary, California and the Netherlands, once they’re in the ring and salute each other, “it’s on,” says Smith. Each combatant wears 12-15 pounds of protective equipment including a heavy padded jacket, hard plastic elbow and knee pads, thick gloves and a fencing helmet. A competition sword weighs an additional three pounds. “It’s very intense,” says Smith of a sword fight. “You’re gonna get bruised.” Most competitors will also be coached by a corner man who’s looking for flaws in an opponent’s technique and shouting instructions to exploit them. “There’s a lot of strategy,” says Smith, who’s now coaching almost 60 students from as far away as Bellingham and Abbotsford. “It’s unique.” • For more information about Blood and Iron, go to www.bloodandiron.ca

Premier Christy Clark took a break from cabinet meetings in Vancouver Tuesday to be sworn in as MLA for Westside-Kelowna. One of the cabinet’s first tasks is to launch a “core review” of government programs, with a target of reducing overall program spending by $50 million this year. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is in charge of the cost-cutting exercise, and is to release terms of reference for it on Wednesday. Clark has described this core review as different from the one

that former premier Gordon Campbell led after the B.C. Liberal Party formed government in 2001. The new review will focus on identifying functions that don’t need to be done by government, and reducing excessive regulation that Clark described as a natural accumulation of all governments over time. Clark led the B.C. Liberals to a 48-seat majority in the May 14 election, but lost her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. WestsideKelowna MLA Ben Stewart agree to step aside so Clark could run in that seat, which she won handily in a July 10 by-election.

Enjoy Delta blues down by the Fraser The Hyack Festival Association’s summer concert series Concerts on the Quay continues this weekend with a performance by award-winning blues duo Hans Theessink and Terry Evans on Saturday, Aug. 3. Theessink and Evans are two experienced and respected musicians who are from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean but work together beautifully. Dutch-born Theessink is a roots and blues institution in Europe with a rich baritone voice and unmistakable guitar work. Evans hails from Vicksburg, Mississippi in the heart of Delta blues country and may be best known for his long working relationship as a backing vocalist with the legendary Ry Cooder. Timeless blues, gospel and soul come alive in the capable hands of these two masters. With just two guitars and two remarkable voices, they bring forth a stripped-down and unhurried vibe that is contagious and soulful. Their new release, Delta Time,

was recorded in Los Angeles and is receiving widespread acclaim. Sharing the stage with Theessink and Evans are Tonye Aganaba, Ben Rogers and Alex Maher. Aganaba is a sultry soul singer originally from the UK. She will be accompanied by her big band. Ben Rogers’ the commander of storytelling through song accompanied by tasty guitar licks. Lastly, Alex Maher is a talented pianist and vocalist. Concerts at the Quay is a summer waterfront concert series that takes place outside the River Market. They are presented by River Market and put on by Hyack Festival Association. The show begins at 5 p.m. The anticipated schedule is as follows: 5 pm - Alex Maher 6 pm - Ben Rogers 7 pm - Tonye Aganaba 8 pm - Hans Theessink & Terry Evans

Hans Theessink (left) and Terry Evans perform with a warm Delta blues sound, and will take the stage at about 8 p.m. on Saturday night, just outside New West’s River Market. ConTRibuTed phoTo

Life among the trees at Intergulf’s Cedar Creek By Kerry Vital

There’s nothing as wonderful as coming home after a long day and relaxing. The townhomes at Intergulf Development Group’s Cedar Creek North are like a breath of fresh air on Coquitlam’s master-planned community of Burke Mountain. “When you buy at Cedar Creek you can rest assured that you are getting the best-built townhomes the industry has to offer,” says Intergulf ’s Sasha Faris. “Our townhomes offer luxurious

finishes, great design and a palatable price to go along with it.” The homes at Cedar Creek are spacious and inviting, with their open floorplans and beautiful features. The kitchens are particularly gorgeous, with their stainless-steel appliances, custom-built Shaker-style wood cabinetry, natural granite countertop and island and chic glass mosaic tile backsplash. The bathrooms feature their own custom-built Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by a natural granite countertop with a granite backsplash, vanity mirror with matching wood frame

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

and a modern custom-built cubic vessel sink. A soaker tub and rain-head shower nozzle adds to the feeling of calm in the space, along with a sleek ceramic tile bath-shower surround and porcelain tile floor. The electric fireplace in every home is perfect for gathering around for some cozy downtime, or if you’re in the mood for some sun, the lush landscaping draws you outside. You’ll also find private balconies, patios and decks in the homes at Cedar Creek. Burke Mountain features several parks and schools in the neighbourhood, with shopping, dining and recreation opportunities just minutes away in the Coquitlam Centre area. The community is a highly sought-after location, so Faris notes that time is running out to purchase. “With this being the last phase of the Cedar Creek townhouse project, this is the final chance to own affordable luxury atop Burke Mountain,” she says. Homes at Cedar Creek North start at $419,900 and are move-in ready. For more information about Cedar Creek, visit www.cedarcreekhomes.ca or call 604-880-1880.

The homes at Citadel Heights are built in a Craftsman style, with private decks and porches. Among the gorgeous features you’ll find in your new home is a convenient kitchen island, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of space to entertain, bottom right.

Exceptional homes at Citadel Heights By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is hitting new heights with Citadel Heights, its single-family home community in Port Coquitlam. With an established location, gorgeous homes and the peace of mind that comes with buying from a well-known developer (Bluetree comes from ParkLane Homes), there’s no better time to buy than right now.

The surrounding Citadel Heights neighbourhood is becoming a popular place to live, and these 29 homes are selling quickly. “The response to this new community has been outstanding,” says Bluetree’s General Manager, Sales and Marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We’ve already sold all of the homes in our initial release and are now pre-selling homes that will complete later this year.” Bluetree is known as your friendly neighbourhood builder, and the reputation continues with Citadel Heights. The Craftsman-style architecture and rich exterior colours combine to make for a striking picture as you arrive home. There’s definitely no shortage of curb appeal here. “Our buyers love the Craftsman-style architecture of these homes,” says Kasahara. “These homes will retain their value because they have that timeless look.”

Join GVHBA Wednesday, Aug. 14 and network with the best!

The four- and five-bedroom floorplans range from 2,800 to 3,515 square feet. Big windows and a great room layout in some homes combine for an airy, spacious feeling that lets the natural light flow from room to room. You’ll especially love the dramatic vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. Every home includes plenty of outdoor living space, with either decks or patios and front porches. You’ll also find a neighbourhood with mature landscaping, and established parks and schools just minutes away. The gourmet kitchens are centrally located in every home for maximum convenience. That continues with their eating nooks, breakfast bars and kitchen islands, making entertaining or a quick meal extremely easy. Buyers are able to choose between traditional shaker-style cabinetry or a modern flat-

panel style. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by the quartz composite stone countertops, ceramic tile backsplash and sophisticated undermount cabinet lighting. Hand-set porcelain tile flooring is included in the entrance, kitchen and nook, powder room and laundry room, with elegant engineered hardwood throughout the rest of the main livings areas. The gas fireplace with its contemporary quartz composite stone surround and custom-designed mantel is sure to be a showpiece, or just the perfect place to relax. In the ensuite, you’ll find quartz composite stone countertops, a spa-like tub and shower with a decorative ceramic and glass accent and your choice of shaker-style or chic flatpanel cabinetry. Citadel Heights is perfectly situated, with shopping, dining, schools and recreation very close by. You’ll also have easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland via Lougheed Highway or Highway 1, giving you the best of both worlds: a quiet neighbourhood within easy reach of every amenity you can imagine. “This community is unique because the surrounding neighbourhood is already established,” Kasahara says. “We know these homes won’t last long because there simply isn’t anything like this available in the market today.” Homes start at $829,900. For more information, visit bluetreehomes.ca, call 604468-2169 or visit the sales centre at 2195 Nova Scotia Avenue, Port Coquitlam, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.
