“It was time to move and grow,” he says. Where he moved to was New Westminster in 2007. And one of the things he’s grown into is the role of the society’s vice president and main Pride Week organizer. “New Westminster is about inclusion,” says Gould, whose son lives with him, and his 23-year-old daughter is in an apartment a floor below them. “When I moved here seven years ago it was a very comfortable and accepting place.”

An incident at a showing of the fright flick The Conjuring conjured up some horror of its own at the Landmark Cinemas at Plaza 88 last Friday evening. New Westminster police say a witness reported seeing a man with a gun in his waistband on the SkyTrain, and then later spotted the same man in the theatre. The witness told the cinema’s security staff who then called police. All available on-duty NWPD members, the operational support team, the traffic unit and the Lower Mainland district emergency response team were called in and the theatre was evacuated. The suspect was found and searched but police did not find a gun. Rather, police determined that he had been carrying a cellphone in his waistband, and that had been mistaken for a gun by the witness.

CANADA GAMES POOL MAINTENANCE CLOSURE The Canada Games Pool, built in 1973, is historically closed each year September for one to two weeks for planed maintenance needs of the building, its equipment and/or its mechanical components.

As such the pool will be temporarily closed from August 12th to October 4th. The mezzanine fitness area will be available to the public, during certain dates and times, and it is best to call the the pool at 604.526.4281 (from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm) or visit www.newwestpcr.ca to confirm the fitness centre schedule, as maintenance needs or painting fumes may alter the fitness schedule.

The balance of the workshop will focus on methods of developing and maintaining passion and acquiring new inspiration. The workshop is presented by Deborah Kelly who has been writing poetry for more than 40 years. She currently hosts and features with Poetic Justice in New Westminster. She has been the recipient of the International Society of Poets, Poet of Merit Award and has published her poetry in numerous publications in Canada and internationally.

The mosaic, commissioned by the CBA and designed and created by Liz Calvin, depicts the ancient Chinese folk art of paper cutting which has a history of more than 1,500 years. The mosaic is one of nine mosaics which tell the compelling story of economic and social development in the Downtown. The mosaics are located on Columbia Street between Fourth and Eighth Streets.

Are banks doing enough? Many people with a low income or poor credit turn to payday lenders and pay high interest. Should banks do more to serve the poor?

B.C.’s rules for payday loans By law, payday lenders: • Must not charge fees totaling more than 23 per cent of the amount borrowed. • Must not charge for cash cards.

Shawna Reid believes her family’s financial situation would be better if she could do more business with her bank. As the head of a household with a tight income, the Burnaby mom bakes bread, buys in bulk, watches for sales and grows a veggie garden in summer. She’s on disability due to an anxiety disorder. Her husband was employed as a computer programmer, but has been out of work since crushing a vertebrae in his neck from a fall. A year ago he underwent surgery, from which he is still recovering. “His whole career line has been shut down for him,” says the Burnaby woman. “I’m lucky I’m in BC Housing or I’d be so screwed in this city.” With her disability pension and social services top-up for her kids, she receives just over $1,000 a month to live on. At this point they receive no disability payments for her husband. She’s had a bank account with BMO since she was 17 and a TD account for the last 10 years, but neither bank will give her an overdraft. “It’s not that I have bad credit,” she says, adding she avoids credit cards because of the fees involved. “It’s just that I don’t have any credit.” Reid takes payday loans

• Must publicly display loan rates for easy comparison to other lending institutions. • Must provide a payday loan agreement, outlining all charges and terms and conditions for every transaction. • Must phase repayment of the loan over two or three pay periods, if a borrower is taking their third loan in a two-month period. • Must not engage in practices that encourage continued debt and dependence or other unfair practices.

likelihood a person will default. As well, payday loans cannot be used to improve a person’s credit score. “It doesn’t give the consumer a lot of flexibility,” he said. The advantage of the line of credit is that it gives a person a longer time frame to pay back the debt. Also, Cash Store says its line of credit allows people to build a positive credit history, and to that end has begun to offer a tiered interest arrangement that allows customers who pay on time to receive a declining interest rate. “They would have a credit score—that would make them bankable,” he said. “They would have rehabilitated their credit. The customer should be able to graduate to a mainstream bank.” Consumer Protection BC, which enforces the laws and licences payday lenders, is giving this new line of credit close scrutiny.

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:

Vanity lawns A lush green lawn, freshly mowed and without weeds, is something to behold. The outfield grass of a professional baseball park or the green on a championship golf course are part of sports lore and are not achieved without much care and effort. Such grass is also the stuff of great gardens, the blanket between floral beds. And in the suburbs, it is the stuff of status – not to mention, it can help the resale value of homes. Companies make millions of dollars a year selling tools and agents to those whose job or passion it is to maintain such stately presentations. But all that is compromised in the summer by the sun, and watering restrictions, such as those in Metro Vancouver. From June 1 to Sept. 30, sprinkling residential properties can only be done three days a week, 4 a.m. to 9 a.m., on odd or even numbered days. Yet some sprinklers are working overtime. After a record-dry July, some lawns are as green as they were in April, a stark contrast to the plots as golden as a Saskatchewan wheat field. The latter is pretty in its own right, and hardly needs to be mowed. Nor does it require any more water than what falls from the sky, benefitting reservoirs in times of moderation. These lawns deserve respect, as do their owners, for being responsible and following the rules. We much admire the manicured green yards, and the attention they require. But unless you are moving soon, they are a nod to vanity, and unnecessary. Groom within reason – mow, pull weeds, water when allowed. But for the most part, let nature take its course. —Maple Ridge News

South Fraser should go it alone Once again, south-of-theFraser transit users are being shafted by TransLink. The transportation agency, not well-loved in Surrey or Delta, announced it is scrapping a number of pass and discount programs, claiming this makes the system “more equitable.” Among the programs cut are FareSaver tickets, the books of 10 tickets which have been wellutilized by many transit users from south of the Fraser. TransLink says the discount programs will be replaced by discounts that will be available with the new Compass Card system, to be introduced later this year. The current discount programs end on Jan. 1, 2014. FareSaver ticket users have been getting a 21-per-cent discount in the past year, as the cost of fares rose while the FareSaver prices stayed the same. That discount will drop to 14 per cent with Compass Cards. It sounds fair on the surface. But it doesn’t add up when the

Frank Bucholtz impact of the three-zone fare system is added to the mix. Transit riders who get on the system in Surrey, Delta or Langley must pay for threezone travel to get to Vancouver. This applies even if they get on SkyTrain at Scott Road Station, just across the Fraser from New Westminster. The only other area of the region where three-zone fares apply is in the Tri-City and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows areas. It is not coincidental that all areas subject to three-zone fares have the worst transit service TransLink collects an inordinate amount of fare money per passenger in Surrey, Delta and other three-zone communities.

Yet at the same time, it provides a level of service that is far below what is offered in Vancouver, New Westminster, Burnaby or Richmond. The difference between a one-zone and three-zone fare is substantial. To ride the bus or SkyTrain within Vancouver, where service is most frequent, it costs a transit rider (without any discounts for student, senior or child) $2.75. The same rider in Surrey, travelling to the edge of Vancouver at Joyce or Renfrew stations on SkyTrain, pays $5.50. Despite steady growth and a higher density in urban areas than Burnaby’s, transit service in Surrey is not being expanded. There is still no express bus service for Surrey riders across the Port Mann Bridge, as promised as a condition of the Port Mann Bridge becoming a toll bridge. And many bus users in Surrey frequently get passed by when waiting for a bus, and often wait up to half an hour to get on a bus at all.

This level of service and blatant discrimination against Surrey and Delta residents is completely unacceptable. People in this area are already contributing disproportionately to TransLink, through the higher fares, and being forced to buy more gas (and thus pay more gas tax). TransLink property taxes in this area are not discounted in any way, despite a lower level of service. While a referendum on new sources of funding for TransLink is scheduled for some time early in 2014, Surrey, Delta and White Rock residents need to ask themselves if they want to continue paying disproportionately. While few politicians even want to talk about it, we likely would be better off with our own regional transit system south of the Fraser, as long as it retains good links with the rest of the system.

Why does New West tolerate poor governance? Re: Hyack dumps executive director (NewsLeader, Aug. 2) Why does New Westminster tolerate such ham-fisted governance in its community and political organizations? This is not the first instance I have heard of in our city where a community board under federal, provincial, or party legislation has thrown standard principles of governance out the window and replaced it with a “my way or the highway” approach on the part of the executive branch of the board. The president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary of the board are no more influential than the directors over which they preside. It is the responsibility of the board to follow the organization’s own constitution and bylaws under the act or legislation which they were created. The responsibility for ensuring this rests with none other than the wider board and the organizations membership. Why do the people of New West tolerate this? Kris Taylor New Westminster

New west statioN ‘aNtique surplus’ Re: CPR station tops endangered list (NewsLeader, Aug. 2) I couldn’t help but notice the article about the old station in New West. I was part of the last office crew that worked there. In the late 1960s the CPR continued in its catastrophic cancellation of railway stations and branch and spur lines. The historic lineal umbilical cord joining this great nation was soon fragmented and sold off in pieces to regional railways. One was the E&N on Vancouver Island, which represented the far west. It had fallen in such disrepair VIA RAIL quit operating the dayliner. In the far east CPR sold the MontrealNew Brunswick line to the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic regional railway. Recently it has been in the world news with the worst tank car train explosion in Canadian history at Lac-Mégantic, Que.

These two sections could not afford the rail infrastructure upkeep of the multi-billion dollar CPR budget. In 1982 when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brought back the new Constitution to replace the BNA Act, the CPR Act was part of it, and excluded passenger trains and the obligation to run it in perpetuity. Since that time thousands of miles of branch lines have been abandoned or sold off to upstart companies with no financial backing. It is a shame for those Canadians who cannot accept the change of history—that the CPR does not hold Canada together from coast to coast. Historically, this decreases the social value or such feelings for the New West CPR station, because it was included as one of those stations that had no economic value or operational function. The cracks and fractures of time are similar to what is left of the other two regional railways, once part of our heritage. As a former employee there, we handled the Sapperton Interchange to Molson’s brewery at the Burrard Street bridge. Its significance was an industrial spur line that joined the CPR to the Interurban B.C. Electric rail fleet to Vancouver and Steveston and later

Chilliwack. In 1895 an agreement was signed to run a passenger service from the CPR Vancouver main line at Columbia Street to the foot of Columbia in New Westminster. This electric railway hauled mainly freight from the Fraser Valley and is called the Southern Railway of B.C. today, another regional railway. Many people want the Interurban back, however it is a reminder of how the Canadian railways are in decline. The New West station remains in an antique surplus situation which may go like the majority of stations of its time. Some railway stations survive on heritage grants as museums like the Port Moody one. Some stations have been moved like the one at Heritage Park in Calgary. Edmonton has an old transferred one too. So there are options open for retired railway relics that have no tracks leading to them anymore. Bryan Vogler New Westminster

And on Sunday at 2 p.m., the Vancouver Men’s Chorus will perform their Big Gay Sing at the Columbia Theatre. “It’s going to be a weekend of singing and dancing.” There are a few favourites still on the schedule, though. The Hills and Heels tradition will return on Saturday, sponsored by Army and Navy. Participants

Richmond MLA John Yap has been assigned to examine regulations that unnecessarily restrict business, making recommendations to the provincial cabinet by November. One proposal is allowing under-aged children to have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day, as they can do in a licensed restaurant. As well as considering licences for farm markets and spas, the review is to look at why it takes up to a year to issue a liquor licence to a business. Letters are going out to 10,000 licence holders and rural liquor agency stores looking for feedback, and a website for public comments is to be added in September. Don’t expect a price

break, however. The terms of the review include ensuring that the $1 billion annual government revenue from liquor sales and sales tax is maintained or increased. The review will not look at privatization of liquor distribution, a controversial suggestion the government backed away from last year. Recent reforms in B.C. have included allowing people to bring their own wine to a restaurant, and removing restrictions on buying wine from another province for personal use. B.C. has yet to convince Ontario and other provinces to lift their protectionist wine rules. On the enforcement side, last year B.C. increased its fine to $575 for bootlegging liquor to people under 19. Two years ago, legislation allowed liquor inspectors to employ minors to test liquor outlets’ willingness to check identification and refuse service.

In the long run, she’d like to see food trucks as a fixture in Downtown New Westminster, especially since the Anvil Centre’s conference facility will add a lot of foot traffic to the area when it opens. She admitted while some BIA members might not appreciate the food truck fest being competition for the permanent eateries, the added excitement to the street will help everyone’s business. “Our idea is to improve business not impede it,” said Johnston.

To facilitate the event, the stage at the old Columbia will be transformed into a kind of Cirque de Soleil with poles, she says. A 13-foot high truss will support two 12-foot poles, one stationary and one that spins, allowing the three judges a 360-degree view of moves by the competitors, whose choreographed routines will be driven by pounding music and a light show. The judges will grade the competitors, who come from all over the province, on their

strength, flexibility, technique, artistry, stage presence and costume. “Everyone’s skill set is so different,” says Lyn. Of course gyrating around a brass pole in a fitness studio is one thing; doing it on stage in front of critical judges and hundreds of spectators including friends and family is another. “My friends can’t believe I’m doing this,” says Lucena, who admits to some butterflies. “They’re surprised at what I can do.”

In fact, Lucena admits she’s even surprised herself. Prior to the pole, she’d never warmed to any kind of sport. Now, she says, she’s not only boosted her strength and agility, she’s also gained confidence. “I can kind of say I’m an athlete, and I was never able to do that before.”

Sales still strong at Larco’s Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital

Morgan Crossing is an amazing pedestrian-friendly village that you don’t often see in the Lower Mainland. With tons of fantastic stores, spacious homes located right in the heart of the village and almost any amenity you can think of within walking distance, it comes as no surprise that there is only a limited number of condominium suites left. “We still have a great selection available, but sales will

be wrapping up soon,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies. “The response has been tremendous.” Built by Larco Investments, Morgan Crossing is wellknown as a gathering place for residents from all over Metro Vancouver. Buyers from nearly every city in the region have been looking to purchase one of the homes there. The village has shopping, dining, community events and amenities right outside your front door, including Winners, Town Shoes, Everything Wine and Thrifty Foods. You’ll also be

able to fit in a workout at the Steve Nash Sports Club. “People fall in love with the village,” Woolley says. “It’s what sets Morgan Crossing apart.” Homes at Morgan Crossing start at $275,900 including GST and transition taxes for a two-bedroom suite. For more information, visit www.morgancrossing.ca or call 604-5821336. The presentation centre is open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Submitted photos

Intracorp’s River Park Place will soon join Richmond’s Oval Village neighbourhood, above, where buyers can take advantage of all the amazing amenities the neighbourhood has to offer, including leisure and recreation, shopping and dining. Among the features you’ll find in your new home are stainless-steel appliances and chic and modern cabinetry, above right.

The new luxury at River Park Place By Kerry Vital

Richmond’s Oval Village is welcoming sophisticated luxury to the neighbourhood with Intracorp’s River Park Place. The new condominium and townhome development is already garnering buzz. “These homes stand out from the crowd,” says Intracorp’s Director of Sales Barrett Sprowson. “The response so far has been

really positive.” The project will encompass three buildings and over 500 homes. Over 30 homes were sold last month. The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging from 465 to over 2,000 square feet. “These floorplans make sense to a wide range of people,” says Sprowson, adding that buyers so far have included downsizers and young couples looking to move away from renting or their starter home. “These homes are really efficient,” Sprowson says. “There’s no wasted space.” Some of the features you’ll find in your new home include stainless-steel appliances, solid engineered quartz countertops and a full-height marble mosaic backsplash in the kitchen. The modern kitchen cabinetry includes high-gloss solid white lacquer upper

cabinets and horizontal-grain real wood veneer lower cabinets, all built in Canada. The soaker tub in the bathroom is made for spa-like relaxation, complemented by the natural stone porcelain tile flooring, solid marble countertops and European frameless glass shower enclosure. You’ll find laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, with low-profile soft touch broadloom carpeting in the bedrooms. When you’re in the mood for some time outdoors, you’ll love the expansive outdoor patio or balcony in your new home. The amenities are some of the most amazing things about River Park Place. Among them you’ll find a yoga mezzanine, fully equipped fitness centre, dog-wash station, media room and training court with space to play basketball or badminton. “These are little things that make sense,”

Sprowson says. “We picked up the concept of a whole home, taken all of those things you’re looking for and put them into some form of amenity at River Park Place. You don’t expect to get that in a condo.” For the next several week, River Park Place will be holding weekend events that celebrate all those amenities. The next one, a three-onthree basketball scrimmage, will take place on Aug. 10 at the River Park Place sales centre. “Intracorp is fielding a team,” Sprowson laughs. “The old guys are going to get schooled!” There will be a grilling exhibition on Aug. 17 and daylight yoga on Aug. 24. The Oval Village neighbourhood has been rapidly growing since the end of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and River Park Place is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything the neighbourhood has to offer. “Our buyers are really starting to appreciate the evolution of the area,” Sprowson says. “This is the number-one neighbourhood in Richmond.” Buyers will have access to transit via the Canada Line just minutes away, as well as the Vancouver International Airport, the Richmond dyke trails and all of the shopping, dining and leisure activities in the area. T&T Supermarket will open its doors nearby, as well as medical, dental and banking services. Homes at River Park Place start at $229,900. For more information, visit www. intracorp.ca/riverparkplace, call 604282-7838 or visit the sales centre at 7100 Elmbridge Way, open every day except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.
