Growing commerce in the ’boro Next week’s opening of Lowe’s part of a continued boom in retail north of the highway Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

hen the highway connection was first made between the Queensborough and Alex Fraser bridges and Richmond in the late 1980s, vehicles whizzed by. The only reason to peek north of the freeway was to look at the mountains. Rarely did anyone peel off to explore the area between Highway 91 and the Fraser River. It was full of sawmills and other industrial land that held little appeal to almost everybody. Today, it’s a dramatically different picture. Sure there’s still some industry going on there, but it’s mostly of the light industrial variety. There’s also construction underway as workers erect a gargantuan $50 million warehouse for Kruger Forest Products. At more than 500,000 square feet it

needed to replace the tax revenue and the employment. “A lot of the primary manufacturing things were leaving the area,” says Hurst. “When it became clear [Western Forest Products] was leaving town the city was very concerned about losing its industrial land base, and it continues to be a concern of council. “Finding replacement employers and taxpayers to provide employment and taxation for the residents, we thought [Queensborough Landing, Starlight Casino, Lowe’s] was quite good.” The area had some attributes to lean on, however. The land was Àat and all the highway work through what was prior to the 1980s a remote corner of Greater Vancouver made it more accessible. It ¿t the old real estate axiom of “location, location, location” since it’s basically smack in the middle of the Lower Mainland with easy access to Richmond, Surrey and Burnaby. “I think we have bene¿ted from our geography,” Hurst says. “It’s

been a great success story for redevelopment.” Certainly location was a big reason Lowe’s set up shop there, says store manager Ramona Paul. It helps not only the retail side, but also the portion that supplies to contractors. All this new activity doesn’t seem to bother residents, according to Paul Bains, a member of the Queensborough Residents Association’s board. “I don’t think it’s been disruptive because none of that extra traf¿c goes over to the residential side,” says Bains. “There’s some old timers that live in Queensborough that always wanted some sort of shopping close by, so I think they’re enjoying that. The newer people coming in the last ¿ve years into Queensborough, it is one of the reasons they come to buy because there’s shopping close by. LAND IS RUNNING OUT

Even though Queensborough has been home to a lot of new residential activity, the impact of the new retail on the north side of the highway on property values south of it is negligible, says Bains, who is a real estate agent. He says any increase in Queensborough is reÀective of the overall increase in residential value from West Vancouver to Chilliwack. Hurst feels it’s not Queensborough Landing that’s had the biggest impact, it’s the casino. “That was the real change north of the highway. It really signalled a difference in the area, it brought a lot more people to the area,” says Hurst. Not only did Starlight add employment, but it provided money for the city to build much-needed amenities for Queensborough. Although land is running out, the city doesn’t anticipate a slowdown in the area any time soon. twitter.com/@newwestnews

The Queen’s Park Residents’ Association will hold an all-candidates meeting for mayor and city council candidates at Centennial Lodge on Sunday, Nov. 6, 3 to 5 p.m. Questions and comments can be submitted at the organization’s website, www.qpra. org, or by emailing qpra@shaw.ca. The meeting was originally planned for 2 p.m., but was moved because of a Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation fund-raising event.

Julian makes call Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian has called on the federal government to set up a public safety ofÀcer compensation fund. On Tuesday, Julian said in 2005, the NDP and Tories supported an NDP bill to establish the fund but it has yet to be put in place. “Every year an average of 10 ÀreÀghters die in the line of duty to protect the public and save lives. They pay the ultimate price. Their families make a tremendous sacriÀce and far too often suffer enormous Ànancial hardship,” Julian said.

City trying to save house with heritage value Oldest residence in Downtown survived Great Fire of 1898 Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

City council has given New Westminsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage planner 30 days to Âżnd a way to save the Downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest residential house. The home, at 832 Royal Ave., was built in 1887 and barely survived the 1898 Âżre that wiped out almost all of Downtown New Westminster. It was placed on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage register in 2004. The two-storey structure is on a steep portion of Royal with only the top Ă&#x20AC;oor visible from street level. It currently has 10 rooms that are rented out with three kitchen common areas. Developer Nu-Gen Projects has an option to purchase the property from owner Ada Cheung and has submitted a townhouse proposal for 832, 834 and 848 Royal Avenue. The same developer is building a townhouse project next door at 828 Royal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very, very difÂżcult situation. On the one hand weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the oldest residential house in the Downtown, and on the other hand weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got intense development pressures around it,â&#x20AC;? said city heritage planner Julie Schueck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the classic pretty heritage house. People look at it and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ugh, why do you want to save that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of heritage. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be saving just the pretty gingerbread houses, we need to save something from all aspects of our history.â&#x20AC;? In its early days, it was home to the family

A developer is proposing the house at 832 Royal Ave., built in 1887, be torn down.

of Alex Ferguson, a 56-year resident of New Westminster. Schueck said the key reason to retain it is because it is the oldest residence in the Downtown area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That does count for a lot. When you start saying the oldest or the only, that does make a difference. When you say it escaped the Great Fire of 1898, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool too,â&#x20AC;? said Schueck. In a letter to council, Nu-Genâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Krishan Anand pointed out even the oldest part of the house, closest to the street, has been altered while inside signiÂżcant renovations have been made that have no relationship to the

original house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition at the back of the house, built sometime between 1905 and 1917 has been so severely altered inside as to appear to have no inherent heritage value,â&#x20AC;? wrote Anand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aside from the vintage windows mentioned in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage assessment there is very little left in terms of heritage detail in the house.â&#x20AC;? Anand said moving the house has been considered, but he has been told by representatives from Nickel Brothers, which specializes in moving buildings, the house canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be transported as one unit and the

bottom Ă&#x20AC;oor canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be moved at all because of the way it is built and the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slope. He also looked at moving the house on the site temporarily while the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parkade is built and then incorporating it within the new development. But the architect, Matthew Cheng, advised the site is too small for that. Leaving it where it is and building around it would mean a loss of parking places below a level allowed by the city, and below what is Âżnancially feasible as well. Nu-Gen has been trying to give the house away to anybody wanting to relocate it but the advertising hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been successful. He said there have been no serious takers, only curious callers. Only one person had land to put it on, which was in Squamish, but after seeing the house he declined it. Schueck said she will continue to work with the developer to seek a way to retain the house and will be checking with Nickel Brothers to see it any part of the home could be moved elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The [medium density residential] zoning is making retention difÂżcult when the developer has tried to Âżnd ways to retain the house without making a negative bottom line for him. It really is a tough one. It has high heritage value. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not sure how successful weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be in saving it,â&#x20AC;? said Schueck. Coun. Jonathan Cote said if the owner canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Âżnd a way to save it or move it the only thing council can do is slap a 60-day delay on any demolition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity here for a win,â&#x20AC;? said Cote on Tuesday.

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!

Can Hyack be better? The Hyack Festival is a bit dull. Forty years on, it needs new life, new ideas. Like so much in the Royal City, it’s built on tradition but that’s no reason to let it get stale. I doubt anyone is to blame. The organization does an great job of getting its annual lineup of events organized and executed. An executive director runs day-to-day operations, reporting to a volunteer board. For Hyack, this paid staff person usually lasts about a year or two before burning out or moving on. It’s a hugely demanding job, just to keep the status quo. And that’s all they are asked to do, keep things going, year after year. “Re-imagining” Hyack isn’t in the job description. The volunteer board consists of good people who generously carve time away from work and family commitments to keep the ship going straight. But the ship’s on a collision course with Boredom Island. Could it be better? Should it be better? Or do residents just want a nice,

predictable slate of events each year? That might be ¿ne, or it might be a recipe for a slow death. I’m not saying throw everything out by any stretch. The Parade of Lights is great, and so are elements of the of¿cial Hyack Festival week in May, such as the Anvil Battery Salute and the parade, though it’s hard to imagine why you’d want to attend them year after year. Others will have their own things they like. Royal City residents are loyal, but we’re dynamic, too, and we expect the same from events like the ones Hyack puts on. The challenge with festivals run by non pro¿ts with volunteer boards is that things are often scraped together at the last minute

by the executive director hired last week. Case in point is the Downtown New Westminster BIA, an organization which has been in a lot of Àux over the past couple of years. It organizes the annual Royal City Show & Shine, an event that draws a massive crowd to Downtown. This year, it was just whiskers away from being cancelled. That would have been a huge blow to the city and Downtown. In Surrey, they’ve created stability in funding and expertise by establishing their own special events department at city hall. It’s relatively rare to see this, a department in charge of staging ¿ve major festivals a year—Canada Day and Fusion Festival in the summer, Winter Fest in February and Party for the Planet and Surrey Children’s Festival in the spring. Surrey made a conscious decision to use festivals as a selling tool for the city, and to build its reputation in the region. Events like the Fusion Festival,

for instance, bring in major international headline acts that draw people from all over Metro Vancouver. It’s putting Surrey on the map in a big way, and part of that city’s successful campaign to transform its image from Crime Capital to Cool City. Should the Hyack festival be managed by city hall? Perhaps that’s not the answer for New West. It would mean more expense, likely, but on the upside it could lead to more stability and improvement in the offerings. Meantime, it’s worth asking what the purpose of Hyack is. Yes, its goal is to host events for the local community, but there is also a promotional aspect, with the relationship with the Portland Rosarians, and our ambassadors visiting festivals in Washington State, for instance. If the goal is to boost this city’s reputation, Hyack can do better. Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader.

In stormy times, dance in the rain I recently received some devastating news that has changed my life. I wanted to write this in hopes that those reading this will feel the gratitude and love that ¿ll my heart. My inspiration comes from a get-well card that a dear friend of mine gifted me. The card reads: “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it is about learning how to dance in the rain.” I have already started to learn to dance in the rain. It hasn’t been easy. However, I have been blessed with a lot of help, encouragement, support and patience. I am so grateful for this, as I wouldn’t be able to dance without this teaching and caring. My dearest friends, I always knew that I could count on you and you have surpassed all my unspoken expectations. You have been truly giving, loving and unstoppable with your love and support. The world is a big place. I realize that I am surrounded by wonderful people. I love my birth country, Serbia, but I am also very blessed that I now live in Canada. Whenever we fail to consider other people’s point of view and what they may be feeling, we get easily upset or angry, and that is when we need to take a step back and simply stop.

Life is more precious than sweating the small stuff. I love life! I feel so much love, compassion and respect for the amazing staff at Royal Columbian Hospital. My amazing neurosurgeon, Dr. Navraj S. Heran, and all the wonderful nurses and doctors who not only took good care of me, but have saved my life and given me another chance. Finally, the love that I feel toward my dearest husband, my two children and my two grandchildren and the whole family is immeasurable. I am very fortunate to have all of you in my life. I love you all. I also feel loved and there is no better feeling in this world. This is what truly keeps me going. I promise I will continue to dance my dance the best way I can. Gordana Miljanic, New Westmnster

AN OPPORTUNITY IN HEAT EXCHANGE AT THE POOL Coun. Jonathan Cote is absolutely right that a plan to refurbish and upgrade the Canada Games Pool is essential. The pool and adjoining community centre are vital recreation facilities needed for a healthy city. However let’s imagine a little further. For years I’ve heard musing but never any serious investigation about taking advantage

of the fact the Royal City Curling Club is directly next door to this facility. All winter the curling club discharges enormous volumes of heat as it keeps its ice sheets frozen. At the same time the Canada Games Pool uses a tremendous amount of energy and creates even more greenhouse gases to heat the pool and adjoining community centre. The synergy could not be more obvious on how all parties, the environment and taxpayers, could bene¿t by a joint heating/ cooling system, reusing the waste heat from one facility to heat the other. I’ve been told there would be challenges, such as the fact one is a public facility while the other a private club. Irrelevant. We need to work past any jurisdictional issues and just get it done. With the pending deadline imposed by the provincial government in Bill C-27, municipalities must either be carbon neutral by 2012 or pay for offsets to the Paci¿c Carbon Trust, which funds GHG reduction projects, such as at highly pro¿table corporations like EnCana. I for one would rather see my tax dollars go to local projects such as a refurbished Canada Games Pool than toward corporate welfare for the fossil fuel industry. So good on Coun. Cote for raising this important issue. Let’s stop talking about these vital

projects that need to be done to create a vibrant, livable New West, and let’s start doing them! Matthew Laird, New Westminster

RCH LOTTERY’S PROBLEM WAS THE PRIZES Re: Royal Columbian Hospital lottery loses $3 million The trouble was the prize. I’ve supported the RCH hospital lottery in previous years... and when I saw their Àyer this time—I tossed it. I don’t want a vacation home, 50 hours in a private jet is incredibly wasteful. We have the dream of being mortgage free and being able to travel to see our kids (who live out of province). No cash options listed... under the prize listings or in the Àyer ¿ne print (I checked)—what?! The marketing team should be ashamed. You have a mailing list with previous purchasers—ask them. Who the heck did they survey anyway? Each other? Carolyn Vantol —online comment newwestnewsleader.com

If it looks suspicious, contact police.

â&#x20AC;˘ Masks that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with vision should be worn, or avoid them by wearing makeup. â&#x20AC;˘ Costumes should be short enough to prevent a child from tripping. â&#x20AC;˘ Children should watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets, which should only be done at crosswalks or marked intersections. Do one side of the street at a time, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t criss-cross. â&#x20AC;˘ Carry a Ă&#x20AC;ashlight Police suggest to be extra safe, organize a Halloween party for neighbourhood children. Motorists are also advised to be extra careful driving down streets with parked cars.

Chef proďŹ le: Danny Kwok Danny Kwok is a chef at the Redbar Lounge at Starlight Casino. Q: Tell us a bit about your culinary background. I have a passion for food and lots of kitchen management experience working in busy restaurants, banquet facilities and the casino. Over the past 16 years as a chef, I have had management experience and culinary training in a number of cuisines including French, Italian, Asian and modern Canadian food. I received the CertiÂżcate of QualiÂżcation in the trade of cooking (red seal) in the early years of my career. Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favourite ingredient to cook with? Why? My favourite food to work with is the most versatile: Âżsh. Fish offers a greater variety of textures and Ă&#x20AC;avours than any other protein. It also has less fat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visually appealing and makes a better Âżnal impression and impact than meat and poultry. Q: What is your favourite vegetable; favourite way to prepare it? Asparagus: Fresh spring asparagus is excellent with nothing more than lemon juice or clariÂżed butter; asparagus with hollandaise sauce is a classic. Q: What essentials must be in your pantry? Garlic, shallots, butter, wine, olive oil, salt and pepper. Q: What is your favourite meal? Grilled Chilean sea bass with fennel and tomato salsa

Hot bananas in coconut milk and lime juice: Peel the bananas and cut into bite-sized pieces. In a medium saucepan, bring coconut milk to boil. Add the bananas. Bring back to boil, then turn down the heat and simmer 3-5 minutes, until the bananas are tender but not mushy. Add the lime juice as desired.

Voice seeking advice Since they are unwilling to answer any questions related to union contract negotiations, Voice New Westminster is seeking the advice of the local teachers and support workers unions about appearing at an all-candidates meeting being organized by the two unions. Voice candidate Casey Cook said on Monday many of the questions in a New Westminster Teachers’ Union questionnaire about labour negotiations were inappropriate for either incumbent or new candidates to answer because such contract discussion should be done in camera. “Given the position taken by the Voice school trustee candidates, the Voice candidates have asked the NWTU and CUPE 409 to advise as whether they still see value in the Voice candidates participating in the all-candidates meeting event under these ground rules,” said a Voice press release. The release said Voice candidates have participated in the past in all-candidates meetings sponsored by the unions and will continue to do so “provided there is a clear understanding that participating candidates should only be asked to respond to questions that are suitable for all

candidates to answer.” The voice trustee slate includes incumbents Cook, Jim Goring and Lisa Graham, and Àrsttime candidates MaryAnn Mortensen and Brenda McEachern-Keen.

Crosty opens election office Mayoral candidate James Crosty will open his campaign ofÀce with an open house on Sunday (Oct. 30) from noon to 3 p.m. The ofÀce is at 239 Sixth St., and will be open daily starting Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until election day, Saturday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m.

I’m a lot of things – a parent, grandparent, musician, wife and volunteer. But one of the most important things I am is a voter. I’m a voter because I know that the work my local Mayor, Council and School Trustees do not only affects my life today, but will shape the future of my community for my granddaughter. I’ve heard that as few as one in four people are voters in some communties in BC. One thing I’ve learned is that the best music comes when everyone in the band is playing their part. Be a voter. It’s the way we make a difference.

Coun. Jonathan Cote has called for the nearly 40-year-old Canada Games Pool in New Westminster and the Centennial Community Centre next door to be refurbished and enhanced. “This is a critically important recreational facility in our city and we cannot afford to ignore the challenges this facility is going to face over the next 10 years,” said Cote, chair of the city’s parks and recreation committee, in a news release. Cote would like to see the city retroÀt the building, add a lobby and Àtness building linking the pool and the community centre, and the additions of a leisure pool and family change rooms. “Although completely rebuilding this facility would be nice, the refurbishment option is signiÀcantly more affordable and allows the city to take advantage of existing infrastructure,” said Cote, who is seeking his third term on council in the Nov. 19 election. “I think improvements and upgrades to the Canada Games Pool can be accomplished in a number of phases over the next 10 years, but I think it is critical that we start work now on developing a plan on how we are going to get there.”

Bedbug action needed: McEvoy New Westminster Coun. Jaimie McEvoy has called for changes in light of this week’s bedbug incident at the public library. The Sixth Avenue facility was closed Tuesday as pest control workers were called in following the discovery of a live bedbug and several dead ones in a book. In a release issued Wednesday morning, McEvoy said bedbug inspections at the library should be carried out on a regular basis, and he recommended the library reduce the use of fabric, particularly on chairs. He also suggested returned books should be routinely checked. “These are standard procedures in social service agencies,” said McEvoy, who is the director of the Hospitality Project which supports the local food bank and has received an increasing number of bedbug complaints. McEvoy said bedbugs are hard to control, and more so when landlords don’t know how to deal with the problem properly or are slow to respond. The problem is so bad in New York, the city has formed a bedbug task force and McEvoy said he intends to put a motion before council calling for Fraser Health to do the same.

Dear Lyle, I just love the way you respond immediately to our request!!I love the energy and enthusiasm with which you handle your work, it is contagious and comforting. You and Sandy are the most amazing couple I could ever met and have representing me on this realty business, since the day you went to my house and I hired you to sell my duplex I felt that you guys were incredible knowledgeable and the power of selling was within you, I was almost in disbelieve, are these guys for real? it was almost too good to be true, but throughout this time you have shown me that you are for real and it is true, you are both caring and honest and that energy!!my God, all that energy that makes you believe that everything is possible!!thank you guys Lyle and Sandy, thank you for been there for me, for treating me respect and for helping out with selling my house and finding another one that could end up been the perfect place for me..God bless you both Sincerely, Felicia Dear Sandy, I want to take this opportunity to express to you how much my husband, Jorge, and I appreciate your help in selling our home. When your flyer showed up on our doorstep and I read about your flat fee for selling, I was intrigued and called right away and had such a great talk with your partner and hubby, Lyle. His confidence, energy, and excitement really inspired me. We were so impressed with both of you with your thorough and professional presentation that we said, “YES!!!” right away. Having never sold a home before (we had only been buyers!) we didn’t know what a “rocket ride” it could be. We so appreciate your willingness to support our decision to stick to our original price, and then after five months of being on the market, you helped us get $22,000 OVER asking price! Wow! =) Sandy, what I appreciate the most is you as a person: your sense of humour when I needed to laugh (“You mean I have to clean my house AGAIN???!!!”) and your sense of calm when the stress level was high (“Will they accept our counter-offer?”). Sandy, you are truly a gem, a “rare bird”, and while your fee may be lower than most, your service is tip top. Jenn & Jorge

Lyle & Sandy, In all of my previous 4 home sales nobody has put in one tenth of your efforts. ! (BUT SURE COST ME A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY!} Thank you both so much for all your efforts , assistance , personal attention and commitment in selling my home . You got me a good price in a difﬁcult market and have very much helped ease the sting of giving up my home at this time. At ﬁrst opportunity I will be calling you again!! Merci Beaucoup!! E.Ritchie Sandy & Lyle Longridge, We just wanted to take a moment to thank you both for your superb job marketing and presenting our home through Assist2Sell. It was through your excellent work that our house sold so quickly and easily which is impressive in this shaky economic market. It was a pleasure to go through the listing process with realtors who are so personable and knowledgeable, not only of the local area, but of the greater real-estate market as a whole. We appreciate your diligence, positive approach, and good sense of humor, not to mention your discounted commission. We highly recommend Assist2Sell! DJ & AJ Dear Sandy & Lyle, A big “heartfelt thanks” to both of you for the many hours of hard work you devoted to the sale of my home.

Academy bound? Private company looking to start hockey program at NWSS Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The New Westminster board of education wants to write the rules before dropping the puck on a hockey academy. A private company is proposing to start up a hockey academy at New Westminster secondary. However, before the board gives the go-ahead it has decided to develop guidelines and policies for any academy it might consider in the future.

CHOICEquotes Casey Cook, School Trustee To be fair, if we look at a particular academy then we have to have a framework and context that we have to work with.

At the board’s meeting on Tuesday, trustees listened to a presentation from RPM Hockey Company, which runs academies at Centennial secondary in Coquitlam, Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows secondary. RPM is proposing a program of Ministry of Education-approved content for students in grades 8 to 12. It would likely use Moody Park Arena, which is next to NWSS. The academy provides personal instruction in both the physical and mental aspects of the sport, and develops life skills. The program is integrated into the normal school day with students getting regular physical education and work experience credits.

“Students remain interested and engaged in school, obtain improved academic grades, develop their technical hockey skills and become strong community citizens,” touted RPM in an email circulated by the district parent advisory council. Trustee Casey Cook said the district ¿rst must have a comprehensive framework in place for any kind of sports or arts academy. Staff has been directed by the board to come up with one. “To be fair, if we look at a particular academy then we have to have a framework and context that we have to work with,” said Cook. Board chair Michael Ewen said the district has had inquiries about academies for other sports such as track, lacrosse, basketball and dance. “The district has a reputation for looking for alternate programs to meet student needs,” said Ewen. However, he pointed out any academy would have to ensure there are enough kids wanting it and there is enough space available. The Burnaby school district has had a hockey academy at Burnaby North secondary since 2004, but it is run by the school and uses the instructional curriculum framework set out by Hockey Canada’s skills academy. Edmonton Oilers’ ¿rst overall draft pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins attended grades 8 to 10 there before moving to the WHL to play for the Red Deer Rebels two years ago. There is also a soccer academy at Burnaby Central. A softball academy was approved for Alpha secondary in 2005 but it did not get off the ground. twitter.com/@newwestnews

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.

Punjabi broadcasts wanted Fans call for return of cancelled NHL show that was credited for uniting families Jeff Nagel

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.

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 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.
