Construction crews are busy building the foundation to the new Qayqayt elementary school on Royal Avenue.

In addition to bringing happy times for sun worshippers, this summer’s dry weather has been a rare piece of good news for the New Westminster schools project. Construction for the new Qayqayt elementary, which began in April, has been moving along smoothly with several sections of the foundation sprouting up on the

Once Qayqayt is opened, the district will close John Robson elementary and begin building a $17.6 million middle school on its Eighth Avenue site.

A controversy that’s brewing on another continent has hit close to home and will be at the forefront of this weekend’s New Westminster Pride Festival. A deaf, Russian gay man living in a New Westminster immigrant shelter while seeking refugee status in Canada will be co-marshal of the Royal City Pride Society’s (RCPS) Hills and Heels Walk on Saturday. Andrey Sanstov will walk side-by-side with a leader of the First Nations two-spirited community. “Everybody just thought it would be a great fit,” said RCPS vice-president Ian Gould of the organization’s decision to invite Sanstov to participate. Sanstov, 28, left Russia last month after the country passed a law outlawing propaganda for “non-traditional sexual relations.”

Royal City Pride Society vice-president Ian Gould says he now understands the reasons behind the city’s policy regarding distribution of materials at city parks.

Tuesday. “I feel it should be allowed

and encouraged from a public health perspective.”

Diane Perry, manager of community development for the city’s parks and recreation department, said city parks bylaws, and contracts with user groups, do not allow the handing out of flyers or items without its permission. She said the rule is aimed at preventing anybody going into a park being approached in an unsolicited fashion, whether it’s handing out a religious flyer or something connected to a business. But if something is distrubuted as part of a display, booth or table in which the park patron chooses to approach then it’s OK. Please see ‘ALL WE WANTED’, A3

Golden age of music and radio, on stage Legendary broadcaster Red Robinson part of musical revue at Columbia Theatre Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The Columbia Theatre is a local icon of a bygone era in entertainment which makes it a perfect place for the On The Air musical revue. It’s all about the music and the radio shows of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. It features legendary Vancouver rock ‘n’ roll broadcaster Red Robinson and CBC Morning Edition host Rick Cluff introducing several acts, just like they did on radio shows in the days when theatres often acted as studios. The revue has played a few times around the Lower Mainland before, but the recent renovations of the Columbia make it a natural fit to do it again, and that’s where it will be on Saturday, Sept. 7. “It reminds me of the Cave and Isy’s supper clubs in Vancouver. That’s going to add a lot to it,” says Robinson, who pointed out Jack Benny once did his radio show from Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre.

Born into a musical family steeped in the tradition of New Orleans jazz, Arnt and Evan Arntzen play hot and sweet music for dancers and listeners alike. They’ll perform Sept.7 at The Columbia for On The Air.

He got involved thanks to Julie Brown, a broadcaster Robinson used to work with who also sings with an Andrews Sisters-type quartet called The Hot Mammas. Brown and Robinson’s wife Carol are good friends and they came up with the idea of doing their

music like it was a radio show from yesteryear involving several acts. They approached Robinson, who loved the concept and suggested he could team up with another announcer to introduce the acts so they brought in Cluff. “We had a ball doing it. It’s

terrific,” says Robinson. One thing he likes about the show is he doesn’t have to memorize anything since announcers in those days read from a script, and that’s exactly what he and Cluff get to do. In addition to The Hot Mammas,

other performers include The Brothers Arntzen, Jayleen Stonehouse, Aaron Wong and singer Michael Sicoly, who Robinson says does dead-on impressions of radio show comedians Groucho Marx and George Burns. “It’s a fascinating show. The band is unbelievable. They’ll blow your socks off,” says Robinson. “There’s no money to be made out of this. That’s not the point. We have a ball doing it.” The revue moves through the decades into the ’50s and ’60s when Robinson, now 76, ruled the musical airwaves in Vancouver. It’s music that’s stood the test of times. The most popular songs at sports events are usually from that era, even though many other genres have emerged since. Robinson notes the music is frequently featured in movies and commercials. “When you look at that music it’s indelible. It was a creative period,” says Robinson. “I just think if you’ve lived in this time, it was great.”

“Everything needs to be in good taste, and be a choice,” said Perry, adding she talked to RCPS president Shelly Reinhart on Wednesday to clear up the confusion. A Fraser Health spokeswoman said it will have a table at the festival staffed by a nurse providing information on various

health topics as well as providing public health supplies including condoms and toothbrushes. “That’s all we wanted was for them to be available on a table. I would be happy with that,” said Gould. Gould said although it might have been part of misunderstanding the condom distribution was not done last

year because they thought the city wouldn’t allow it. But he’s glad they will be available this year. “It’s nice to know that it has been recognized,” said Gould of the city’s response. “It got cleared up rather quickly once somebody asked the question.” The festival opens with a community dance tonight (Friday) at Metro Hall, 759

Carnarvon St. It continues Saturday with Hills and Heels which starts at noon in front of Army and Navy before proceeding up Sixth Street to City Hall for the Pride Proclamation at 12:30 p.m., followed by the festival in Tipperary Park until 5 p.m. Other activities Saturday include Burger and Beer at

the Met Bar and Grill from 5 to 9 p.m., followed by an outdoor showing of the movie Mamma Mia on the festival lawn at Westminster Pier Park. It will wrap up Sunday with the Vancouver Men’s Chorus’s Big Gay Sing at the Columbia Theatre at 2 p.m. • For more info: www. royalcitypridesociety.com/

It’s a development that has alarmed a lot of people in and outside the pride community who are fearful of a regression in rights in Russia and other like-minded countries. “It’s going to be huge. This whole Russian thing is mobilizing our community,” said Gould. “It’s pretty near and dear to our hearts because everyone has worked so hard (to gain rights in North America) and then to see a country peel back rights … It’s disheartening and disturbing about where this is heading.” Gould said the coverage Sanstov’s participation is getting is bringing awareness to the society’s festival.

Or at least go out and put five gallons a couple of times a week.” He particularly emphasized the need to water young trees Young trees, he added, are in particular need of having their extreme thirst quenched. “Even if the homeowners see us watering the trees, please, it’s only part of it. They’re like children, you know how much nourishment they need. They need all the water and nutrients they can get just like a child. It would really assist our urban forest to keep it green and cool.” He pointed out watering restrictions are really just for lawns because even if they aren’t watered they will rebound to their former green glory when the inevitable rain returns. “[Water restrictions are] all about the lawn because so much water is wasted to keep a lawn green,” said Ledoux.

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

This summer’s warm weather hasn’t meant a strain for city staff on watering New Westminster’s parks, but they could use a helping hand from residents to keep the city’s street trees green. Claude Ledoux, New Westminster’s horticulturalist, said staff doesn’t have trouble keeping its parks and gardens from being thirsty because of its many irrigation systems that water at an appropriate rate. “We don’t have to spend a lot of time hand watering, and just use water when we need it. It’s much more efficient,” said Ledoux. “Lots of plants are very happy this year because it’s so nice and sunny, and they’re getting lots of sun which a lot of times they don’t, so they’re very strong and looking beautiful, our sun-loving plants.” Ledoux said even the city’s hanging baskets at locations like the Westminster Pier Park,

Claude Ledoux digs into some fresh soil at the City of New Westminster’s greenhouses.

Queen’s Park and the Quay boardwalk are on drip irrigation. “That water isn’t wasted and it goes directly to the plants.” Ledoux, however, says the city could use some assistance in watering its street trees so they’re healthy and flourishing. Although city trucks will come around to water them, it’s not enough, said

Ledoux. “It’s not that we’re demanding [residents] do it, but it’s an investment for our city, it’s what makes our city beautiful,” said Ledoux. “The homes where homeowners have assisted us, it’s amazing the trees.” Ledoux pointed out watering restrictions do not apply to trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables. Unlike lawns that require

quick, shallow watering, he recommends trees be watered slowly. Keeping the hose down to a trickle so the water does a slow drain into the soil and go deep into the roots is recommended. The deeper the water goes, the better. “Very, very slow and make sure the water is not running off and shedding off of the soil and going

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

ALR review risky business Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, to his credit, has been upfront saying he’ll take a close look at the boundaries of the Agricultural Land Reserve because, he says, in some areas they hamper economic growth, such as the ability to build a new suburb. The look will form part of the core review of government services and Bennett tries to assure anyone listening in the doldrums of summer that he has no intent of removing productive farmland from the reserve. It’s a dangerous game however, and Bennett admits they haven’t yet found a way to remove “worthless” farmland from the reserve, while protecting fertile land. It’s dangerous because while applicants in the Interior argue dry conditions make farming fruitless, those on the coast argue too much water makes it impossible to farm. The latter is a tried- and-true pitch from applicants hoping to cash in by developing cheap, verdant land that could produce bumper crops, with only a modicum of care and knowledge. While our neighbours to the south struggle with water shortages and desertification, the B.C. government should focus more on the huge economic contributor that agriculture can, or will be. One of Bennett’s proposals is to allow home-site severance from the ALR. That would allow a retiring farmer to remain in his or her family home while a new generation took over the production. That’s a prudent and practical step that’s a win-win for all. Any redrawing of boundaries however, if at all, can only follow a thorough, objective, sciencebased scrutiny of the land in question, separate and apart from the core review. – Maple Ridge News

Let’s get Hyack back on track Life is full of strange coincidences. Almost two years ago— October 2011 to be exact—I wrote a column saying the offerings put on by the Hyack Festival Association had become stale. New life was needed, I said. Time to clear the cobwebs. Revisit Hyack’s purpose. What is Hyack? Should it be focused solely on providing events for the immediate community, or should it draw people from across the region and help promote New West as a place to live, work and play? A couple of people said I was kicking around the Hyack brand. Believe me, judging by what many people have told me over the years, Hyack’s brand had already fallen into sad disrepair. It’s long been one of those taboo subjects in New West at city hall and among people who follow these things. Many people have been saying Hyack needed a shakeup, but few wanted to stick their necks out.

Chris Bryan editor@newwestnewsleader.com

Anyway, then came the coincidence. Almost the day the column ran a guy named Douglas Smith was just settling into his desk at Hyack as its latest executive director. It turned out to be an inspired hire. Over the coming weeks and months, Smith started doing exactly what Hyack so urgently needed. He came with the background and skills that allowed him quickly to see the organization’s strengths and weaknesses, and he soon articulated a vision of where Hyack needed to go. For a start, he trimmed a few Hyack offerings that weren’t delivering much value. And he noted the potential of capitalizing on the huge crowd

He tightened up the parade. He secured lots of big name sponsors to help pay for better events and better programming. The latter was evident at Concerts at the Quay, where some excellent bands performed this summer outside the River Market. The Canada Day fireworks are widely regarded as New West’s best display ever. But then late last month, the executive of the Hyack board fired Smith. That move prompted a minor earthquake, so many people around New West were collectively shaking their heads. Why would Hyack deliver such a blow to its brand at a time when Smith was putting a new shine on it for the first time in many years? Thankfully, some on the board

have disputed the move and, last I’d heard, there were discussions afoot about the possibility of overturning the decision. I hope that decision includes the departure of the people responsible for the firing in the first place. Smith needs room to breathe, if he decides to return. Wherever this ends up, it has significant repercussions for the future of community events in New West. Hyack is the main festival organizer in this city, and we all pay for it. This year, it received $140,000 in cash from the city, plus $40,000 worth of in-kind services such as street closures and policing during events. This fall, the city and Hyack are slated to come together for some strategic planning, at the same time as the city reviews how it funds community groups. How Hyack handles the next few weeks could well determine its future. Today, it’s an organization that has gone off the rails.

COMMENT Water going to waste for sake of green lawn I enjoyed your article about vanity lawns. Ten years ago, the rental house in our neighbourhood was sold, and the new owner was determined to have the greenest lawn on the block. Well, she has succeeded every year. Thankfully this lady seems to be the only one in our neighbourhood to use so much water. She has the oscillating sprinkler going at every opportunity. She waters three times a week for four hours each, which must be excessive, not to mention her inflated water bill. I understand that a green lawn can be maintained with just one hour of water per week. I resent the excess water on the sidewalk, as well as running down the back lane. Such a waste of our precious resources. Caroline Moore New Westminster

activities that Douglas was working on. We are incredibly disappointed with the recent turn of events. Royal City Centre supported Douglas and his vision, and we will look strongly at what the future holds for our continued participation, as we take the events that light up our community very seriously. Douglas Smith was the right man to do the job, and we fully support him and his vision. We can only hope that someone steps back and looks at the big picture. The direction of the festivals in New Westminster were well on their way to being something fantastic. Bring Douglas Smith back; the community needs people like him. Laura Veevers Property Manager Royal City Centre

PERSONNEL MATTER Re: Smith provided fresh, positive Hyack direction (Letters, NewsLeader, Aug. 14) Bart Slotman seems willing to prematurely flap in praise for someone dismissed for reasons that may never be revealed by the Hyack Festival Association. We are reminded here of the likes of Richard Nixon, who should be praised for diplomatically opening up to China, but had other quirks that eventually brought him down. As in all personnel matters, we will never be privy to the circumstances that surround Mr. Smith’s dismissal just as we may never be privy to the reasons why Uptown Property Group had a parting of ways with the City of New Westminster in the construction of the Anvil Centre.

Oil refinery plan needs Canadian lenders David Black says Chinese bank wants him to find 25 per cent at home

he must secure sites for the refinery and the marine terminal with the Kitselas and Haisla first nations, determine if inland first nations along the proposed pipeline corridor can

Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. businessman David Black has been forced to seek Canadian lenders to build his proposed oil refinery near Kitimat at the insistence of the Chinese bank that would act as the main financier. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China declined to fully finance the $25-billion project, Black said, sending him to find a quarter of the required money within Canada. “It really came down to the fact that they wanted some skin in the game out of Canada and they would put 75 per cent of the money up for the refinery,” he said Monday. Black has billed the project, announced a year ago, as a way to create thousands of jobs in B.C. refining Alberta crude oil while ensuring diluted bitumen isn’t shipped in tankers, eliminating one of the biggest objections to construction of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that could supply the crude.

even if the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project is rejected and instead bring oil via train, but he emphasized pipelines are safer. A pipeline would

bring money and benefits for first nations and local communities that wouldn’t come with rail shipments, he added. twitter.com/jeffnagel

Black Press file

Black is advancing the project through his firm Kitimat Clean Ltd., but is also majority owner of the Black Press group of community newspapers in B.C., including this paper. He said he believes he has found lenders in Canada but gave no details, except to say he does not intend to take on equity investors. “It’s too early to say where or how, but I think it’s there,” he said. “Financially, it’s going to work out.” He aims to file a project description with the provincial government in September to initiate the environmental review process. None of the major North American oil companies have expressed any interest in financing

or partnering on the refinery but Black said that’s no surprise. Oil extraction is traditionally more profitable than refining, he said, and the biggest energy firms may not want a new refinery competing against ones they already own. “I understand all that and decided early on I just had to find a way around that and I think I’ve found it.” The $25-billion cost includes roughly $16 billion for the refinery – more than initially estimated due to a new refining process that promises to emit half as much greenhouse gas – with the rest covering a natural gas pipeline, a fleet of tankers and the cost of the oil pipeline, if necessary. Besides securing financing, Black said

Sharon Noble of the group Citizens for Safe Technology is fighting the province’s smart meter program.

Smart meter class action lawsuit off to slow start Hydro opponents expect thousands to join legal battle Jeff Nagel Black Press

Opponents of BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters are scrambling to quickly assemble enough people willing to be part of a planned class-action lawsuit they hope delivers a permanent opt-out from the program. Victoria resident Sharon Noble, with the group Citizens for Safe Technology, said success in convincing a judge to certify the class action may hinge on how many people take part. She estimated Wednesday that 100 to 150 people are registered – a start she called slow – but added hundreds more sign-ups are likely in

progress. Given the number of people who have blocked smart meter installation or had one installed against their wishes, she said, it would be surprising if thousands don’t join the lawsuit. “The courts would be very influenced by having a large number,” Noble said, adding a judge could soon begin considering whether to certify the class action. “The more people we have signed on by then, the more likely the courts would look on this as being a very significant movement, as opposed to a movement of a handful.” About 60,000 households have refused smart meters or less than four per cent of all BC Hydro customers. BC Hydro has not yet issued its response to the claim

filed July 25 on behalf of representative plaintiff Nomi Davis. It demands free choice “without extortive fees, coercion or conditions designed to intimidate.” Registering with the lawsuit costs $100. The provincial government has indicated those who still have analog power meters they want to keep will be able to pay around $20 a month extra to continue manual meter readings. Opponents aren’t happy with the fees or Hydro indications that smart meters may still replace analog ones as they break down. They also say those with smart meters should have the ability to turn off wireless transmissions. “The opt-out option that Hydro is offering needs to be a legitimate one,” White Rock

resident Linda Ewart said. “What they need to say is ‘If you don’t want one of these meters, you don’t need to have them.’”

Another concern over choice is what happens when someone moves to a new home and a smart meter is already installed. Many objectors claim health concerns or sensitivity to radio-frequency waves, even though third-party tests have found emissions from smart meters are low compared to other sources. BC Hydro officials say the lead plaintiff’s analog meter was broken and had to be replaced for safety reasons. “BC Hydro will work through the judicial process to explain why we are obligated to replace a customer’s meter when there is potential for a safety hazard,” said Greg Reimer, executive vicepresident of transmission and distribution, in a statement. He said both the B.C. Court of Appeal and B.C. Utilities Commission have previously dismissed smart meter legal challenges and said that Hydro has “acted at all times within the law.”

Containers hold homes in Downtown Eastside Affordable housing is taking a new twist with a complex in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside built from old shipping containers. A dozen containers have been converted into apartments, each with about 290 square feet of living space. Every home includes a private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The project was built through a partnership between Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Atira Women’s Resource

Society, BC Hydro and several other community partners. The aim was to provide safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside. “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this development,” says Atira Women’s Resource Society CEO Janice Abbott. “Atira has the vision and the tenacity to see this project through a precedent-setting development process, despite criticism and opposition. ... The building and individual suites look better than we ever could have imagined.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Construction began on Nov. 30, 2012, and every home was completed by July of this year. Six of the homes will be social housing for older women, while the remaining six will be rented at Housing Income Limits rental rates. The residents of the social housing homes will be women with roots in the Downtown Eastside who will be mentoring younger women living next door at the Imouto Housing for Young Women through Atira’s Intergenerational Mentorship Program. Residents will be able to take possession on Sept. 1. “This shipping container housing development serves to show us that with creative thinking we can work to ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing,” says Miriam Sobrino, chair of Atira’s board of directors. The project was inspired by BC Hydro’s “House of the Future”, which was also made from recycled shipping containers and was placed on the front lawn of BC Hydro’s office during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. BC Hydro donated the house after the end of the Games. Two other containers were donated, and the remaining eight were purchased through the Port of Vancouver. For more information, visit www.atira.bc.ca.

The townhomes at Polygon’s Lakeside include executive-level features such as stainless-steel appliances, a kitchen island, laminate flooring and engineered stone countertops, above. Buyers will be able to take advantage of some amazing amenities, including living right on Sunstone Lake, below right.

Executivestyle living at Lakeside By Kerry Vital

Polygon’s Sunstone master-planned community in North Delta is the perfect family-friendly neighbourhood, with amenities, plenty of outdoor space and gorgeous homes. Now the community is adding elegance with Lakeside, threebedroom townhomes right in the heart of Sunstone.

“Nothing has been built like this in years,” says Lakeside sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “These are true executive-level townhomes.” Lakeside brings something special to Sunstone with its master-on-main floorplan, the Seaside Series. “There’s been a high demand for homes with the master on the main floor,” Liljedahl says. “People have been waiting years for this. It’s all-on-one-level living.” The upper floor includes two more bedrooms and a flex room, giving buyers options for how they want to use their space. The second floorplan at Lakeside, the Hampton Series, features all three bedrooms on the upper level. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, giving you tons of space to entertain or relax. Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic

Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. You’ll also love your private fenced yard. The kitchen in your new home is a prime example of the high-quality finishings you’ll find at Lakeside. With engineered stone countertops, a marble backsplash, customdesigned, naturally stained quarter oak flat panel or white painted Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, your kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef. It’s also the perfect place to entertain with its kitchen island. Select homes include a large walk-in pantry for extra storage. Laminate flooring is featured throughout

the main living areas. Radiant in-floor heating will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather is doing. “It’s a wonderful way of heating a home,” says Liljedahl. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level add to the sense of spaciousness in the home, with some homes featuring vaulted ceilings in the living room. Your new living room also holds an electric fireplace with custom surround. The master ensuite bathroom is made for pampering, with its oversized soaker tub, separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents and marble countertops. It also features his-and-hers sinks, a large vanity mirror and porcelain tile flooring. Every home has a main floor powder room for maximum convenience, with its own porcelain tile flooring and elegant pedestal sink or vanity with undermount sink. Sunstone is home to some pretty amazing amenities. The 12,000-square-foot Sunstone Club includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, outdoor stage and several trails for walking or cycling. A shopping village is in the works for the future, and an urban community garden is moments away. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby. Homes start in the low $600,000s. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or visit the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Avenue, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.
