A taste of radio’s golden years On the Air features local legends Red Robinson, Dal Richards and Lloyd Arntzen Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

An upcoming show in Burnaby aims to bring the golden years of radio alive for the audience, with local living legends who experienced it ¿rst-hand. Broadcaster and singer Julie Brown came up with the idea after working 21 years at local radio stations. She wanted to recall the days when people turned to the radio for music and when families gathered around the box for entertainment before television came along. “When I was a child I actually thought people jumped into the little box and then it came alive,” she said with a laugh. “I couldn’t ¿gure out how they were doing that.” She shared her idea with friend and theatre veteran Carole Robinson, who co-created and co-produced it with her, and eventually Carole’s husband, Red Robinson, pitched in and offered to take part. The result is On the Air: A Musical Revue being remounted at the James Cowan Theatre, in the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. Red Robinson plays a radio host as the show takes the audience back in time to the 1940s, ’50s and ’ 60s in a simulated broadcast. “Radio in those days was pure glamour,”

D. ROUGHAN/CONTRIBUTED

Legendary bandleader Dal Richards and broadcaster Red Robinson are part of the show, On the Air, coming to Shadbolt on Sunday, Nov. 6.

Brown said, noting that many of the biggest Hollywood stars such as Bob Hope, Groucho Marx, Jack Benny and George Burns and Gracie Allen got their starts in radio. Michael Sicoly impersonates many of these stars while Red Robinson, 73, shares personal reminiscences of his days as a rockand-roll DJ, including footage of himself introducing Elvis Presley and the Beatles at Empire Stadium. Dal Richards shares his own memories while being “interviewed” and several musicians from the Arntzen family, including

Arnt Arntzen on guitar and his father Tom Arntzen on piano, all led by his grandfather, bandleader Lloyd Arntzen, 83, perform throughout. When the show was ¿rst performed at the Performing Arts Lodge Theatre in Vancouver earlier this year, “there were older women in the audience who were sighing because they still have a crush on [Lloyd Arntzen],” said Brown with a laugh. Key to the show is the re-creation of the radio show format, in which the audience itself also plays the studio radio audience,

applauding and laughing on cue. Brown said the format is the precursor to today’s latenight talk shows such as Jay Leno and David Letterman. Brown also co-wrote the show with former CKNW copywriter Linda Strathdee and is a member of the Hot Mammas singing group that performs in the show. Despite challenges, including the postal strike affecting mail-in ticket orders and the Stanley Cup riot on the ¿rst day of rehearsals, the cast and crew carried on, and sold out its two shows at the PAL Theatre. The Burnaby show will be the next performance before it takes to the mainstage at the Arts Club Theatre on March 23, 2012. On the Air almost didn’t happen after Denis Simpson, a co-founder of the Nylons singing group and a mainstay of the Vancouver theatre scene, died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage a year ago. Simpson had been set to direct and choreograph the PAL shows, and Brown was beside herself with grief at the loss of one of her best friends. “Carole said, ‘What do you think he would’ve wanted’”? Brown then recalled that Simpson was a real the-show-must-go-on type of guy. And so it did. • On the Air: A Musical Revue, is at the James Cowan Theatre, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available at 604-205-3000 or www.shadboltcentre.com.

Candidates debates

$8B contract gives boost to students

The Burnaby Inter-agency Council is presenting two election debates. School trustees will debate on building strong communities at the ofÀces of Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion, 2702 Norland Ave., on Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. A debate of mayor and council candidates, focused on social issues in Burnaby, is on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at Stride Avenue Community School gym, 7014 Stride Ave. at 7 p.m. Childfriendly activities will be provided.

To create decades worth of work for thousands Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

fter spending several years as a carpenter, Cameron Ius decided he needed a change. “I remember one time I built a wall four times. Every time I built it, someone thought it was wrong. The fourth time I built it the way I built it the ¿rst time and everyone liked it. It was just headaches.” So Ius decided to pursue an interest in working with metal. He’s currently a millwright student at British Columbia Institute of Technology and a ¿rst-year apprentice at Seaspan Marine Corp. His timing couldn’t have been better. Last week the federal government announced it was awarding an $8-billion shipbuilding contract for non-combat vessels to Seaspan’s North Vancouver and Victoria shipyards. Estimates are that the contract could create upwards of 4,000 direct and indirect jobs in B.C., and up to 30 years worth of work. That’s something BCIT and other schools are hoping for—a sustained demand for the skills of the students they’re training.

BIG BUCKS BRING BIG RELIEF

Millwrights are like a jack-ofall-trades, able to do everything from electrical, plumbing and metal fabrication to mechanical work. They wouldn’t be certi¿ed to do major jobs such as rewiring a house, but they could step in if repairs are needed, explained John Byron, chief instructor for BCIT’s millwright program. They’re in demand “anywhere there’s

a machine.” The Seaspan news came as a relief to those in BCIT’s Foundations program, which gives students an introduction to trades to help them land an apprenticeship. Byron said there’s not a lot of certi¿ed journeymen millwrights sitting looking for work. They’ll either have to get offered a lot of money to move to Seaspan or new staff will have to be trained. In addition to meeting the new demand, industry will have to replace the baby boomers who are set to

retire in the next few years, which all adds up to a high demand for millwrights and other tradespeople, Byron said. There’s been a major change in recent months, he noted. One employer had lamented to him several months ago about the lack of work available, then a few months later was desperate for people to ¿ll jobs. “That was a huge change. I’m assuming the economy’s turning around a bit and employers are loosening the purse strings.” Half his last Foundations

class was employed before ¿nishing the course, compared to the previous class where only two to four students found work by the end. Rod Goy, dean of BCIT’s school of construction and the environment, sees a huge boost coming from the Seaspan contract. In addition to trades such as electrical, plumbing, and welding, there will be demand for people trained in related areas like engineering, design, and construction management.

The City of Burnaby has launched a new website at www. burnaby.ca designed with public input to make it easier to access information. The new site will highlight functions not departments, allowing people to do everything from buying tickets to a show at the Shadbolt Centre to booking tee time at a Burnaby golf course.

Burnaby man killed in auto accident

Contract means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;decades of workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ŕ&#x2026; continued

from PAGE A3

Shipbuilding isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much different from home construction when it comes to what trades are required, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see there is maybe roofers.â&#x20AC;? BCIT hopes to help meet Seaspanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stafÂżng needs through its existing trades programs, and is looking at rebuilding its apprenticeship program for shipwrights. Apart from ironworkers, most of those trained in metalwork and boilermaking tend to Âżnd employment outside the Lower Mainland. This contract will allow more of those graduates to stay in the region, Goy said. And in addition to the initial construction of the non-combat ships, such as coast guard and Âżsheries vessels, reÂżts are a big part of the work over the long term. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not counting all the other work the company might have from other sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Decades worth of work is exactly what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good news for students in the Burnaby school district which, like its counterparts across the region, has an Accelerated Credit Enrolment

in Industry Training (ACE-IT) program. That program allows high school students to take level one technical training to help prepare them to Âżnd a trades apprenticeship upon graduation, said Donna Scott, the district principal for career programs. Also available is the secondary school apprenticeship program, which allows them to start their apprenticeship and work while still in school. Coincidentally, a recent review of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs led to instructors expressing interest in offering a welding program, Scott said. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just at the starting stage of the process for being approved and implemented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of serendipitous.â&#x20AC;? THIRD GENERATION OF TRADES

After talk of downsizing and layoffs the last couple of years at his workplace, Cameron Ius, 31, expects to have no problem retaining his job now. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a third generation in his family to work in Vancouver shipyards, following the footsteps of his

At about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, the car the man was driving left the roadway in the east lane of the 3500block of Worthington Drive. It travelled a short distance across a grass park before striking a pole. The man was unresponsive when citizens and emergency crews arrived to help. Vancouver police are investigating and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet known whether the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was due to a medical condition. Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call 604-717-3012.

City reserves are excessive: candidates Reserves allow Burnaby to remain debt-free, borrow from itself: Johnston Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

As of the end of 2010, Burnaby city hall had $666.3 million in its capital and operating reserves, according to city Âżnance director Denise Jorgenson. Much of that money has been set aside over time to pay for the future replacement of equipment and facilities, with $58.3 million of that from development cost charges that are restricted for use in paying for infrastructure such as sewer and water lines. The NewsLeader asked four council candidates: How should the city use its large reserves?

Nick Akvenich, independent candidate, is a retired industrial engineer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mandate in running as a councillor in Burnaby is to have Burnaby with a 0 per cent tax increase. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had tax hikes year after year after year thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resulting in a heavy burden on seniors.â&#x20AC;? For years, the city borrowed from itself but charged itself interest, the cost which was charged to taxpayers, AKVENICH he said. Akvenich would determine the actual cost of replacing city equipment and facilities, and set that amount aside in reserves, then use the rest to cut the tax rate increases to zero. He would reduce â&#x20AC;&#x153;wasteâ&#x20AC;? in city Âżnances such as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eco-sculpture program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have to have the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bank of Burnaby.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; What we have to do is spend the taxpayers dollars a bit more wisely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burnaby can sustain itself by going to 0 per cent tax increase. We have enough growth in the city ... Our reserves are excessive.â&#x20AC;?

Incumbent Coun. Dan Johnston, Burnaby Citizens Association, is chair of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance committee and a certified general accountant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserve funds ($666.3 million 2010) are as follows: The City directs how it redevelops by buying and selling key real estate at a proÂżt. Capital reserves self-fund capital projects such as roads, libraries, golf clubhouses etc. without external

borrowing. Funds are repaid over the life of the asset ensuring they remain sustainable. Development cost charges and density bonusing funds are collected to ensure developers assist with funding sidewalks, recreation centres and schools which become necessary as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population grows. Casino proceeds fund one-time projects such as dredging Burnaby Lake, yielding no JOHNSTON impact on property taxes. Operating Reserves cover unexpected items such insurance claims, emergencies and other surprises. During 2010, these funds earned $6.7 million in interest, which reduced property taxes by 3.8 per cent. Burnaby Citizens Association is committed to strong sustainable reserves. As our population grows and ages so must our reserves.â&#x20AC;?

meet Âżnancial obligations, according to the city]. The BMG believe in capping our Âżscal reserves at three times the current capital budgetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$477 millionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to cover statutory reserve STUART requirements, and stabilize the annual capital spending plan. The BMG propose removing $300 million in excess reserve funds over Âżve years

to develop an emergency shelter providing our homeless with social services and medical attention. The excess reserves must also be used to develop cycling infrastructure while devoting funds to build and maintain recreational facilities. We realize that spending on a homeless shelter is a great Âżrst step, but we need a homeless and affordable housing strategy to meet the needs of our residents long term, and will work to make this a reality.â&#x20AC;?

Lee Rankin, Team Burnaby, is a lawyer and former councillor for 22 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city of Burnaby is self-Âżnancing. Capital projects are funded from city reserves and projects are repaid to reserves with interest from taxes collected. This visionary policy was put into place by a Burnaby Votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association council, the predecessor of TEAM Burnaby Votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. External debt has been eliminated and the city borrows from itself. Reserve funds could replace the aging C.G. Brown pool, upgrade community and seniors centres, RANKIN replace aging Âżeld turf Âżelds and expand urban trails. With city reserves past $500 million, there should be a serious debate as to what is an appropriate level. There should be some rational, deÂżnable policy or target level for reserves. The mantra of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bigger is betterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an inadequate response from a public, tax collecting body. Tax money collected to fund ever-increasing reserves is money not available to homeowners to save or spend and businesses to expand or hire employees.â&#x20AC;?

Matthew Stuart, Burnaby Municipal Greens, is a farmer and community activist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burnaby Municipal Greens (BMG) are committed to a sustainable Burnaby through sound Âżnancial management.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Halloween safety Halloween is on Monday. That mean’s trick-or-treaters are paying special attention to the weather forecast, hoping it will be dry and pleasant for their annual walk in costume around their neighbourhood, collecting candy. One thing is certain; it will be dark. And that means safety issues when excited little kids are running from house to house after supper. The fun of being dressed up and the prospect of another mini chocolate bar or roll of Rockets at the next house means they’re not always paying attention to their surroundings. Here are some tips from the RCMP to ensure everyone has fun at Halloween and returns home safely. • Ensure trick or treaters are visible to motorists. Brightly coloured clothing is an option, but should dark-coloured costumes be worn, please wear reÀective tape, glow sticks and/or carry Àashlights. • Costumes should not restrict your movement or visibility. Ensure your costume ¿ts properly and is not a tripping hazard. • Makeup is a much safer alternative to wearing a mask. If wearing a mask, ensure good visibility. • Stay in familiar neighbourhoods and travel with friends or family. • Tampering of treats is rare, but children are reminded not to eat what they receive until inspected by an adult. • Use sidewalks and be cautious when crossing roadways. Drivers and pedestrians can be easily distracted. • Drivers, please slow down. Everyone needs to be extra cautious during this exciting time and be aware of children who may not always follow the rules of the road. • Fireworks are illegal unless used with an approved permit. Visit applicable websites for more information on your area’s regulations. Have a safe, fun, and hopefully dry Halloween!

Election season brings on deja vu

urnaby residents can be forgiven if they are experiencing federal election deja vu while driving around town. Amongst the autumn leaves, some blue signs with white lettering have been popping up on a few city lawns. At ¿rst glance, they appear to be leftovers from the federal Conservative Party campaign. But this is the fall, and these signs are not touting Tories. Instead they back the Burnaby Parents’ Voice slate for school trustee in the Nov. 19 civic election. However, no candidates’ names are listed on the signs, just the party’s name. And the party has already made a name for itself. Up until now, Burnaby Parents’ Voice (BPV) has been all about one issue. They went to great lengths in their opposition to the board adopting an anti-homophobia policy. Recently they tried to present a broader platform of policies. The monopoly-for-life party, aka the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA), has already shot down

many of them. The Burnaby Teachers’ Association says BPV lacks knowledge when it comes to issues critical to teachers. Of course, both those organizations aren’t exactly objective. Out of the gate, however, BPV has established a presence with its signs and its signature issue. The BCA has some signs up as well, but it doesn’t appear to be nearly as many. A key to the BCA’s success is getting the labour/NDP vote out. With so much apathy on the civic election front, getting any one segment of society to the hustings can go a long way toward getting elected. If the BPV manage to get the religious zealot element to vote then the BCA should be very afraid. However, the one thing working

in BCA’s favour is Team Burnaby could potentially split the right wing votes with Voice, and there weren’t many of those to go around three years ago. So far, the full Team Burnaby slate for the seven trustees positions have been left by the wayside and need to assert themselves into this campaign to have any effect on the school board elections. Surprise, surprise, the BTA endorsed the BCA candidates. At the same time, they did their best to blister the other groups to bolster BCA’s chances. Their shot at Team Burnaby was particularly biting. It pointed out its slate is led by Bonda Bitzer, former Burnaby district human resources director. The BTA’s bitter missive points out Bitzer “presided over the largest increase of union grievances in the history of our organization.” Ouch. It also pointed out Team has ties to the BC Liberals, the mortal enemies of teachers at the bargaining table. All the rhetoric is enough to have the heads of voters spinning, especially when they’re greeted

The City of Burnaby’s election staff has put out a 20-page election candidates pro¿le booklet with the trustee section taking up a whopping eight pages. Should make for some fun reading. • Time to set aside the sarcasm for a second. Burnaby hockey fans get to cheer on a native son in their own backyard on Saturday when Karl Alzner comes to town with the Washington Capitals. The fans might be torn, though, because the amiable Alzner will likely to be assigned to shut down the Sedin twins. There’s a similar sentiment of divided loyalties when watching another Burnaby boy, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, take to the ice for the Edmonton Oilers to do in the Canucks. Grant Granger is a NewsLeader reporter and, for better or worse, a product of the Burnaby public school system who will cheer for Ryan because he picked him in the last round of his hockey pool.

Let’s make food an issue With the Nov. 19 municipal election coming, it is time to discuss food issues in our community. Food security has become a hot topic in our region, and we are lucky to have some of the best soil here in our city. Unfortunately, when it comes to protecting our Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) land, our reputation has been tarnished. One has only to look at the Big Bend retail development to see how we have failed in the past. Food issues affect us all. There are residents in our community who want better access to local food, families seeking healthy food options in schools and city facilities, and unfortunately far too many residents with limited access to healthy food of any sort. It is time for our municipal government to address the issue. We must develop a food policy council to work on food issues in our city. From the farmers market to our community kitchens, from our schools to our neighbourhood associations, we need to work together. We must protect our ALR land. Our city must be supportive of new farmers while providing existing farmers new markets for their goods through sourcing programs like farms-to-schools. These programs are not only good for our local economy, but will

serve to protect our farmland. Lastly, we must provide more space for food production in our city. We must encourage garden spaces in schools, and enhance curriculum development around food production. We need to provide better access to community garden spaces where residents can grow the food they want to eat. Matthew Stuart Burnaby Municipal Greens

RACE COMMENTS OUT OF LINE It didn’t take Mr. Tao long to play the racial card in his attempt to contest the mayor’s chair come Nov. 19. Who cares what his ancestry is? The voters want to know does Mr. Tao have the background and the capability of occupying the mayor’s chair? His political track record speaks volumes on that score. I am mysti¿ed by his allegation of my “veiled racism” and I will need proof of such an accusation before any apology would be considered. My letter contained absolutely no slight to the Burnaby Asian community and Mr. Tao knows it. Brian J. O’Neill Burnaby

LEADERSHIP NEEDED As the mayor of the best-managed city in Canada (according to Maclean’s magazine), I sincerely hope Derek Corrigan had the good judgment to not attend the recent “regional economic summit” where the former U.S. president was a guest speaker and certainly not contribute to funding the obscene $150,000 speaker’s fee. I would, however, feel reassured if Corrigan took a few moments to comment via our local media and perhaps remind other mayors of their leadership responsibilities during hard times. Réjean Beaulieu Burnaby

TIME OF USE A WASTE OF TIME The arguments against smart meters are quite clear, so I won’t bother repeating them. The arguments in favour, however, are generally specious, so I won’t bother addressing them. What I would like to do is illustrate why time-of-use billing won’t save power. My life schedule is strongly determined by my work schedule. I have to get up at 4 a.m. every weekday to make it to work on time. The earliest I get home is 5 p.m.

The remaining 11 hours are allocated to essential activities and, mainly, sleep. There is no signi¿cant Àexibility in any of this. It doesn’t matter how sophisticated the meter is. I either do what I need to do, or I turn the power off and freeze in the dark. I do have a small amount of Àexibility on the weekends, but not much. I think the large majority of Canadians probably face similar constraints. Time-of-use billing won’t save power. Victor Finberg Burnaby

HONOURING FOSTER PARENTS I would like to draw readers’ attention to the fact October is Foster Family Month in B.C., a great opportunity to recognize foster parents in Burnaby and throughout the province for the outstanding contribution they make. Foster families represent all walks of life—as well as a great variety of cultural, social and economic backgrounds. As varied as foster families are, they have one vitally important characteristic in common: Day in and day out, they provide stability, safety and support to vulnerable children and youth. And in doing so, they make our communities stronger. Richard T. Lee, MLA, Burnaby North

t takes a village to create a Haunted Village. Halloween is a favourite time of year for the staff and volunteers at the Burnaby Village Museum, when we transform the 1920s streets Âżlled with tidy homes and businesses into 10 acres of Halloween fun. Staff who spend the rest of their year carefully presenting an authentic heritage experience enjoy setting their creativity free to make decorations and costumes inspired by Halloween folklore. Lisa Codd This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vampireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ballâ&#x20AC;? with vampire-inspired decor and activities. In the costume room, the work of creating reproductions of historic garments has been set aside, replaced by the sewing of vibrant vampire capes and ghostly dresses. In the design workshop, the vampire theme inspired construction of a cofÂżn that pops open to surprise visitors with its ghoulish resident, as well as the transformation of the bandstand at the centre of the village into a DJ booth in the style of a Transylvanian castle. The homes and businesses of the village have become lairs for witches, vampires and ghouls. Decorating the 10-acre site and populating it with costumed residents is a task large enough to frighten anyone. Thankfully an average of 40 volunteers from the museum and community partner groups give their time each evening, helping make the event

Monday she climbed a fence to get into the Pickton farm in search of clues to her drug-addicted daughter’s disappearance but turned back when two Rottweilers appeared on the other side. “I saw tractors, vehicles and big mounds of dirt and grass,” she said. “I didn’t see any bodies or anybody there.” Frey said it was the fall of 1998 – just over a year after 24-year-old Marnie vanished from the skid-row hotels she frequented.

Burnaby’s Fashion Week star Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

For North Burnaby resident Mika Fryling, her trip last week to Toronto was one to remember. Fryling, 36, was one of three Canadian women featured during LG Fashion Week where she shared a stage with supermodel Monika Schnarre while modelling a dress custom-designed for her by top New York designer Cynthia Rowley. The Burnaby education consultant joined two women from Ontario as the winners of a contest sponsored by Kellogg’s Special K cereal. Theirs were the entries chosen from hundreds of submissions describing a time when they felt fabulous. Fryling’s winning entry described a time after her son Jackson was born when her moms group skipped its regular get-together at someone’s home and instead headed to Yaletown for a spa day and a nice lunch. Her contest prize came in two parts. First she was Àown to Toronto where she did a dress ¿tting and participated in a professional photo shoot. “I’m literally going to be on the side of a Special K cereal box,” she said with a laugh. The three winners have also been featured in ads in Canadian Living and Elle Canada. The second part of the prize came last week, when she appeared at Fashion Week. Rowley had never met Fryling before that, but designed a dress for her based on her measurements, photos and her winning written submission. Rowley “said she felt she really got it right for me when she saw me in the dress,” said Fryling, who noted she could tell the dress had been sewn by hand. “It’s a one-of-a-kind piece. “It was just very cool, empowering. It de¿nitely gave me a small, small, small taste of what it must be like to be a Hollywood star trying on a dress I commissioned a designer to make.” Fryling got her hair and makeup done backstage by a team from L’Oreal alongside real models. Then her moment in the spotlight took place in front of

about 150 people with numerous media on hand. Her husband Chad wasn’t left out. He got to come along to Toronto where he was treated like a VIP and given his own goodie bag, with

souvenirs from the Hockey Hall of Fame. “He loved it. It’s not every day you get to see your wife rockin’ the stage with a top designer and yeah, a supermodel.”

Uranium buyout $30M uranium buyout sparks accusations Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s out-of-court settlement to cancel a uranium mining claim in the Okanagan cost millions more because of political interference, NDP MLAs said in the legislature Monday. The government announced its $30 million settlement with Vancouverbased Boss Power in a news release last week, at the same time as the federal government prepared to announce shipbuilding contracts in B.C. and Nova Scotia. NDP leader Adrian Dix demanded to know who intervened to stop the inspector of mines from considering a permit application from the company to begin work on a uranium deposit near Kelowna. A mining tenure was issued for the deposit under the Social Credit government in 1976. The touchy issue of nuclear power and uranium was reviewed in 1979, and an eventual moratorium lasted until 1997. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government’s energy plan formally ruled out nuclear power and uranium mining, and when Boss Power applied for work permits, they were ignored. “It’s in the court documents that the deputy minister instructed the inspector of mines not to consider Boss Power’s application,” Dix told the legislature. “It’s crystal clear that the inspector of mines sought advice from the government’s own lawyers, who told him the law required him to consider the application. Yet the inspector of mines was still instructed to ignore the application despite the

fact his superiors knew this to be against the law.” Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the government’s refusal to allow uranium mining was made plain by legislation, and ministry staff would have been instructed accordingly. The province negotiated compensation for Boss Power for mining rights granted and then taken away, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said the permit application was refused because any action on the uranium claim would have created a “political ¿restorm” for then-mines minister Kevin Krueger in the 2009 B.C. election. The government intervened “to protect the backside of the member from Kamloops South,” Horgan said. Horgan said buying out the uranium claim would usually mean repaying “sunk costs” of the owner, which he estimated at $5 million. The payout was inÀated because the government interfered in a legal process and exposed itself to punitive damages, he said.

Salish Sea to get conservation area Environmental groups are hailing the federal government’s decision to proceed with a national marine conservation area in the southern Strait of Georgia. It will cover 1,400 square kilometres of the Salish Sea, giving extra protection to marine life in the southern Gulf Islands and along southeast Vancouver Island. Federal environment minister Peter Kent unveiled the planned boundaries this month, citing the region’s “magniÀcent diversity.” B.C. has agreed to turn over seabed rights to the area for federal protection.

Disa Fladmark and Brittany Tonello are veterans in the sport of synchronized swimming, and having more fun than ever

isa Fladmark and Brittany Tonello are oldtimers—not something vivacious young women who aren’t yet 31 years old like to

hear. But in the world of synchronized swimming, where most competitors have retired or moved on to other sports by the time they graduate high school, Fladmark, 30, and Tonello, 26, are wet and wily veterans. Fladmark, who’s originally from Port Moody but now lives in North Burnaby, has been swimming snychro since she was 13. Tonello, a Burnaby North grad, discovered the sport at nine. Swimming at the same club in Coquitlam, they bonded and started competing as a duet. They’ve been together ever since, through high school graduation, beyond a break while Tonello studied nursing, through getting established in careers, relationships. Now swimming out of the Fraser Valley Masters synchronized swim club at the SFU pool, they compete at the Masters level. They recently returned from the United States Masters Championships in Roseville, Calif., with three gold medals. Next June they’ll travel to Riccione, Italy to compete at the FINA World Masters Championships. Fladmark and Tonello credit their enduring partnership to a fast friendship that goes beyond their similar physiques and swimming styles. While the latter scores them points with judges, it’s the former that keeps them coming to the pool for at least 10 hours a week, plus dryland endurance and strength training.

This past summer they both trained for and competed together in a triathlon. “Our personalities mesh well,” says Disa, who exterminates mosquitoes when she’s not upside down under water. Being in sync out of the water helps them stay in sync when they’re in the pool, says Brittany. “We’ve always trusted each other.” That trust is important when they’re choreographing and executing their routines.They spend hours scouring YouTube videos from synchro competitions around the world to stay on top of trends that are winning favour with the judges. They draw inspiration for their moves from art, dance, music and Cirque du Soleil performances. On the pool deck, they’ll translate their research into manoeuvres, before trying them out in the pool. Currently judges are awarding points for joined elements and high lifts out of the water. “It’s such a creative sport,” says Brittany. “There’s new innovations every year. We want to come up with the new next thing. We want to stand out from the other competitors, make our routines more intricate.” Disa says they’re up to the challenge. “We’re more competitive now than when we were younger.” But since the goals they set, and the commitment they make to attain those goals, are entirely their own, they’re also having more fun, says Brittany. “It keeps you well rounded because everyone is on the same page.” “You’re more free,” adds Disa. “You feel like you can talk to the other competitors more.” Neither sees an end to their swimming partnership anytime soon. After all, one of the competitors at the U.S. Nationals was 93 years old.

South Asian hockey fans are mobilizing again to try to save the Punjabi language broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada after the CBC cancelled the show last week. A spokesman said CBC was unable to secure a sponsor to offset the production cost. But fans of the weekly specialty cable TV show say it’s a cultural phenomenon that helps reconnect generations of IndoCanadian families and tighten ties to Canada and the national sport. Supporters on a 4,000-strong Facebook group devoted to the show are hoping the CBC relents.

“We want it back,” said Surrey student Jasmine Samra, adding even elderly family members get swept up in hockey fever. “Bring back Hockey Night in Punjabi,” wrote Jaspreet Jessica Kaur Ghag on Facebook. “How is there a lack of support?” Amarinder Singh, who co-hosts the program with Harnarayan Singh, said he’s getting 20 to 30 similar messages a day from viewers in the Lower Mainland. Many South Asian fans joined spontaneous street celebrations in Surrey and Abbotsford during the Vancouver Cancuks’ Stanley Cup playoff run. Hundreds of jersey-wearing, Àagwaving Canucks’ fans—largely South Asian—would celebrate after games at the intersection of 72 Avenue and Scott Road. Despite the crowds, Surrey gatherings remained peaceful, even after the team’s

heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins, which sparked a full-on riot in downtown Vancouver. Balwant Sanghera, president of the Punjabi Language Education Association, was part of a petition campaign that persuaded CBC executives to back down when they tried to scrap the show a year ago. “I think it’s gone a long way in promoting national unity and national pride,” he said, adding he hopes the show is restored. Besides introducing more Punjabi speakers to hockey, he said, it’s been a way for parents, grandparents and children to bond over a shared interest. “It brings three generations together,” Sanghera said. “It’s extremely bene¿cial to the community and to the country as a whole.” There are nearly 800,000 Punjabi speakers in Canada. The CBC has indicated the Punjabi broadcast, which started as a test in 2008, could return during the playoffs. And Singh said he’s optimistic a new sponsor will be found much sooner, putting the show back on the air within a couple of months.

More listings beneﬁts buyers Consistent increases in property listings and fewer home sales over the summer months has helped move the Greater Vancouver housing market into the upper end of a buyers’ market. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties

on the region’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) reached 2,246 in September, a 1.2 per cent increase compared to the 2,220 sales in September 2010. Those sales also rank as the third lowest total for September over the last 10 years. “There’s more competition amongst home sellers in today’s market, providing more options for

prospective buyers,” Rosario Setticasi, REBGV president said.”Buyers now have more properties to choose from and more time to make decisions compared to the spring season.” New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 5,680 in September, the third highest volume for September in 17 years. This represents a 20.1 per cent increase compared to September 2010 when 4,731 properties were listed for sale on the MLS and a 21.2 per cent increase compared to the 4,685 new listings reported in August 2011. The number of properties listed for sale on the Greater Vancouver MLS system has increased each month since the beginning of the year. At 16,085, the total number of residential property listings on the MLS increased 4.6 per cent in September compared to August 2011 and rose 4.4 per cent compared to this time last year. “Our sales-to-active-listing ratio currently sits at 14 per cent, which is the lowest it’s been this year. Generally analysts say that a buyer’s market takes shape when the ratio dips to about 12 to 14%, or lower, for a sustained period of time,” Setticasi said. The MLSLink Housing Price Index (HPI) benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater

Vancouver over the last 12 months has increased 8.8 per cent to $627,994 in September 2011 from $577,174 in September 2010. Since reaching a peak in June of $630,921, the benchmark price for all residential properties in the region has declined 0.5 per cent. Sales of detached properties on the MLS in September 2011 reached 957, an increase of 10.5 per cent from the 866 detached sales recorded in September 2010, and a 32.8 per cent decrease from the 1,423 units sold in September 2009. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 13.4 per cent from September 2010 to $896,701.

SPORTS KNIGHT ESCAPE St. Thomas More quarterback Justin DesLauriers tries to escape the clutches of an Earl Marriot tackler in the second half of their B.C. high school junior varsity football game at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. The Knights won 55-0 and remain undefeated atop the Eastern Conference standings. The senior squad also continued their unbeaten season with a 21-7 victory over the Terry Fox Ravens. Meanwhile, the New Westminster Hyacks lost 41-0 for the second straight week, this time to the Notre Dame Jugglers. The junior Hyacks also succumbed to Notre Dame, 28-17. MARIO BARTEL NEWSLEADER

Clan men’s soccer team stings Yellowjackets The top-ranked SFU Clan men’s soccer team is still perfect. They prevailed 1-0 over the Montana State University Billings Yellowjackets at Terry Fox Field last Saturday. Michael Winter’s third goal of the season, in the 11th minute, held up as the game winner in a tough, physical match in which the referee Àashed as much yellow as the Montana State kits. He handed out four yellow cards and one red card, to the Clan’s Chris Barghholz in the 48th minute. With a man advantage, the Yellowjackets were able to exert some scoring chances on SFU goalkeeper Sheldon Steenhuis. The most dangerous came within seconds of full time, when Montana’s Thomas Sheets was able to get a shot on goal that was just tipped past the post by Steenhuis’ outstretched hand. It was one of only two saves he registered in the match. “Today’s game was certainly a battle from start to ¿nish and inconsistent of¿ciating made it that much more frustrating,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a release. “We were playing a man down for most of the second half, but we kept attacking.” The Clan directed six shots at Yellowjackets’ keeper Eion Hurley. SFU put their unbeaten record on the line Thursday night against Seattle Paci¿c University, in Seattle. They return home

SFU forward Farhad Abdulgani tries to avoid the marking of a Montana State University Billings defender in the Àrst half of their Great Northwest Athletic Conference soccer match at Terry Fox Field last Saturday.

on Saturday when they host Saint Martin’s University at 2 p.m. at Terry Fox Field. Before the game, the team will honour former head coach Keith Watts, who passed away in August.

For 88 minutes on Saturday, the SFU Clan and Montana State University Billings women’s soccer teams couldn’t ¿nd the net. Then, they couldn’t help but score goals. Unfortunately the Yellowjackets were better at it than the Clan, as SFU lost 2-1 at Terry Fox Field. All three goals were scored in the last two minutes of play. The Yellowjackets’ Jaucelyn Richter took control of the ball on the kickoff after SFU had tied the match with only 14 seconds left to play, and somehow launched a shot that eluded Clan keeper Amelia Ng as time expired. Montana State lit the scoreboard ¿rst, when Kristen Kastelic regained possession after missing an earlier shot, then drove it past Ng in the 89th minute. The Clan tied it up when Lia Marining was able to bury her own rebound past Montana State keeper Danielle Gordon. “Today is a perfect example of why you play until the end,” said SFU head coach Shelley Howieson. “It’s unfortunate that the positive adrenaline after scoring the late goal didn’t translate into ten seconds of defending.” The Clan had a chance to seize control of the game late in the ¿rst half when they were awarded a penalty kick after Kelsey

Atherley’s shot at an open Yellowjackets’ net was knocked away by a hand ball. Anna Brancati’s kick beat the keeper but rang off the post. She corralled the rebound and then shot the ball off the other post. The loss leaves the Clan buried at the bottom of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference standings with one win, nine losses and a draw. They hosted the Western Oregon Wolves at Terry Fox Field on Thursday.

Smith caps career Jessica Smith’s second-place ¿nish in the last race of her SFU cross country career led the Clan women to a second overall placing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships in Yakima, Wash., on Saturday. Smith ¿nished the six-kilometre event in 21:39, 13 seconds behind the winner. “I just can’t say enough about Jessica,” said SFU head coach Brit Townsend. “This was a great ¿nish to her university career. She’s meant so much to our program over the years and I’m very proud of her.” Lindsey Butterworth ¿nished ¿fth, and the rest of SFU’s contingent of 10 women placed in the top 50 in a ¿eld of 92 runners. The University of Alaska Anchorage won the event. They also won the men’s side, while the Clan men ¿nished seventh.
