Meter decision coming in fallCouncil to have three choices including smart metersGrant [email protected]

New Westminster will replace its electricity meters but whether it’s with the smart meters BC Hydro is distributing to the rest of the province is up to city council.

New West has its own electric utility and its general manager, Rod Carle, said eventually its 32,000 aging meters will have to be replaced.

He has told council the city is looking at three options and will come back to them in the fall with a cost analysis and recommend a preference.

“We’ll take some time and zero in on what the costs are and the benefits of each option are,” said Carle.

The first would be to replace the current mechanical ones with digital meters.

He said that would cost about $3.6 million, but that would also require meter readers to continue to physically collect data from each meter on a regular basis.

Councillor suggests city ‘piggyback’ on senior government junketsGrant [email protected]

A delegation of seven from New Westminster will be heading to China in the fall, but there’s one councillor who thinks the city should be cutting back on exchange trips.

Earlier this year, council approved plans for Mayor Wayne Wright (or an acting mayor), two councillors,

a city staff member and three members of New West’s sister city committee to go to China for two weeks in late October.

A report to council said the cost would be about $2,500 per person with the money coming from a fund for such trips established in 2003. Almost all of the accommodation costs will be absorbed by the host cities. The report also said its sister/friendship city agreements call for at least one visit to or from the sister city every three years, and 2009 was the last time a New Westminster

delegation visited China.Coun. Chuck Puchmayr

voted against the trip, saying the city should be doing them in conjunction with senior government international forays in search of business for B.C. Going that route would be more efficient for the city, said Puchmayr.

“If we’re going to do things like that, the federal government or the provincial government engage in those types of trips with business leaders, and it would be very prudent to tie into those and piggy-

back on those,” said Puchmayr. “It’s really difficult for a city of 60,000 to do that type of thing.”

He argued by creating a good, clean, livable city a lot of economic development will take care of itself instead of going overseas to try to attract the business.

“How do you make that call? How do you make sure you’re using tax dollars that could affect business already in the city,” said Puchmayr, who suggest limits should be put on how many make the trip.

Young players hone their soccer skills at the New Westminster Police Department’s annual soccer camp, held all this week at Queen’s Park Stadium. More than 290 kids, aged 5-10, participate in the camp, which started in 1981. It’s run by 70 volunteers and coaches. The kids also get a chance to learn about police work, including demonstrations by the canine unit. Between drills, players share a juice box. Bottom left, Keyan Virani, 8, celebrates an on-target kick.

“It would be good to establish new criteria for these trips. They are worthwhile, and we’ve seen examples of that, but there’s a need to establish efficiencies between local and senior governments.”

The first stop on the trip (Oct. 14-16) is Beijing to sign a revised memorandum of understanding with the Dongcheng District. Then it’s off to Zhenjiang, a port city with economic development opportunities, for an economic development forum. After that they’ll go to Yunfu to talk about supplying materials for the new civic centre. They’ll end the tour in sister city Lijiang, and Kunming—whose mayor recently visited New West—before returning Oct. 27.

The report said the city is considering a number of business proposals including “the establishment of a large warehousing facility in the city to accommodate the storage of rock materials coming by ship from the Friendship City of Yunfu to the North American market; additionally, Linfair Stainless Steel, located in the city of Xinxing (a part of greater Yunfu), is interested in establishing a showroom and retail outlet in New Westminster that would provide them with access to the Western Canadian market for their stainless steel manufacturing plant in China; further, the Sister City of Lijian and the City of Kunming have expressed interest in investing in the proposal to create an international meeting place in New Westminster that has been referred to as China House.”

The second option, which Carle estimated to cost up to $4.5 million, would be for a digital meter with a one-way radio frequency.

They would allow readers to collect the data for several residences or businesses at the same time from the street.

For instance, Carle said, readings for a 200-unit residential complex could be done in milliseconds from the car or by walking by instead of having to read each meter individually.

The downside is they give off even more of a radio frequency than smart meters.

Carle said other municipal utilities in B.C. have used this billing system for about a decade.

Smart meters, which have two-way communication capabilities, are the third option.

Carle estimates they would cost about $7 million over a five- to seven-year period, although the price tag could be about $2 million less if New West piggybacked on Hydro’s bulk purchasing program.

But that would require the city buying them all at once before Hydro finishes deploying all of its meters by early 2013 while the city’s utility wants to install its new meters in stages over several years.

That’s because, said Carle, the city gets groups of its old meters certified by Measurements Canada on an annual basis.

The latest were given approval for eight years.

However, the federal authority will be changing its standards in 2014 and that might mean the meters it currently owns would only get approval for four years or less.

He said it costs the city about $25 to $35 to pull a meter for testing so once it decides on which new meters it will go with, the plan is to install them when the old ones are due for testing over about a five or six-year period.

Because it has its own utility, New Westminster is not part of the current rollout of smart meters by BC Hydro. The city will make its decision on the technology of choice this fall.

City to choose between smart or digital meters⫸ continued from FRONT PAGE

There is less than two weeks left for any eligible New Westminster voter who would like to see the city go to a referendum on council’s decision to authorize borrowing for up to $59 million to make their view known.

The form that has to be filled out is called an alternative approval process elector response form.

It is available at the information desk at city hall or by downloading it from the city’s website, www.newwestcity.ca, although the specific link (http://www.newwestcity.

ca/database/rte/files/Alternative%20Approval%20Process%20Entire%20Package.pdf) can be difficult to navigate to.

The bylaw authorizes borrowing $11 million to help fund the new civic centre and its parking structure, nearly $15 million for road maintenance, $8 million for park improvements, and $10.15 million for park infrastructure. It also allows for borrowing of up to $15 million for an advance on funding for the civic centre that will eventually be paid for by future casino revenue.

Funds for constructing the office tower to be built on top of the civic centre will come from city reserves and are not included in the bylaw.

For a referendum to be held, 10 per cent of those eligible to vote in the last civic election, November 2011, have to submit a signed form which has to be dropped off at city hall by Aug. 7 at 4:30 p.m.

Former mayoral candidate James Crosty is also distributing forms and collecting them after they’ve been signed at his office at 239 Sixth St.

New Westminster resident to run home for armed forces, first responders while getting medical treatmentGrant [email protected]

Honour House’s new general manager is New Westminster resident Marg Gordon.

The large home on St. George Street provides accommodation for families of Canadian Forces members and first responders while they receive medical care in Metro Vancouver.

Gordon has lived in New West for 13 years, and was most recently chief executive officer of the B.C. Apartment Owners and Managers Association, and had worked for the BC Non-Profit Housing Association before that. Before moving to New West she was a trustee in the Coquitlam school district and was on Port Coquitlam city council for two terms.

A society press release said Gordon brings a background in housing, the non-profit field, community building and governance that makes her ideal for Honour House.

“I cannot think of a better cause than Honour House, honouring those that keep our lives safe,” said Gordon in the release.

Gordon replaces Alan

Featherstonehaugh, who had been serving as interim manager while the house got up and running and the organization could hire a full-time manager.

“She brings us to a whole new level,” said Honour House president Allan De Genova on Tuesday.

He said Gordon will be valuable in a fundraising role and getting the message out about Honour House’s service.

“It’s amazing how many don’t know about us in the first responders community. They’re not being told by agencies. They’re staying in hotels and then the hospital tells them about Honour House,” said De Genova. “It’s amazing, they always have a smile from end-to-end when they leave.

It’s been working phenomenally.”De Genova said the house has had a

steady occupancy of between 50 and 95 per cent since it opened last year.

For more information on the organization go to www.honourhouse.ca.

Boardwalk sale returnsAnyone with stuff to sell can sign up

for a table at the Quayside Residents Association’s sixth annual Boardwalk Festival and Sale on Aug. 18.

Organizers say they are anticipating more than “10,000 treasure seekers” and over 175 tables. It will take place on the boardwalk, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will also be live music,

food vendors, produce from the farmers market and kids activities. The raffle proceedings will support the Royal City Music Theatre Society.

Deadline for table rental applications is Aug. 10 and volunteers are also needed.

To sign up go to www.quaysideboard.com or call 604-521-6677 or drop in to 239 Sixth St.

Society chosen to run Queensborough daycare

The City of New Westminster has chosen Port Coquitlam Daycare Society to run the daycare at the Queensborough Community Centre.

In accordance with the Community Charter, the city has issued notice that it intends to licence a portion of the community centre, located at 920 Ewen Ave., to the society for a term of five years commencing Jan. 2, 2013 and expiring Dec. 31, 2017.

Port Coquitlam Daycare Society is a non-profit organization, and would pay $1450 plus taxes per month for the duration of the agreement.

The space is 2,230 square feet and will be located in the part of the community centre currently being built as part of an expansion.

The 13,200-square-foot expansion will also include a branch library, police office space and an expanded weight room, and is slated for a December 2012 completion.

Oh, I don’t want to get into this.

No one does. It’s summer.The last thing anyone wants to

talk about in the height of July is our city’s plan to foot the bill for an office tower, and how a scheme to borrow $59 million fits into the whole thing.

We should be talking camping, the lake and BBQs with friends, not City Hall.

But here we are.In a painfully cramped

nutshell: The city is building a new civic centre Downtown, most of it will be paid for through casino money. To bring jobs and vitality to the area, it pitched a public-private arrangement (those words always cause chills. Foreshadowing?) to build an office tower above the new complex. The logic, too, is that office towers use parking 9-5, M-F, and the civic centre would use the parking at the other times. Uptown Property Group signed to finance the tower and share the cost of parking. Splendid. Then UPG pulled out, and the city opted to take on the tower itself and put all the risk on

taxpayers. Hence, a $59 million loan is required. There’s a huge shell game involved as to which pot the money is coming from, but that loan is effectively to cover the tower and the parking (The city might say the actual number is $44M because $15M of the borrowing is to cover costs that will be reimbursed through casino money).

Typically a city would put an expenditure of this magnitude to a referendum, but city council has chosen not to: To force a referendum, about 4,528 signed petitions must land at City Hall by Aug. 7.

And things continue to get sticky.

Though there is considerable concern about this loan plan among fair-minded folks, it’s doubtful it will succeed, despite

a formidable campaign led by James Crosty. It’s summer, and as mentioned off the top, people get annoyed talking civics when the sun shines and pools beckon.

And even the logic of rejecting the loan is mired in a complicated do-si-do.

It won’t stop the tower’s construction, because it’s already started, so it won’t stop the city spending that money.

The concrete is being poured, the tower will go up. As Patrick Johnstone pointed out in his blog New Westminster In My Backyard this week, a project like this is an integrated unit and once started you can’t just lop off one portion.

So either way, the New West taxpayer is financing this project.

And it could fail utterly. No one can provide ironclad assurance to the contrary.

Yes, office space next to SkyTrain is prime, our Downtown is something of a media darling these days with its new park and growing vitality. But there’s nothing to say the economy that sits on a jagged molehill might not tumble into

misery, leaving us with a shiny, empty tower. (And we haven’t even mentioned the possibility of cost overruns)

So here’s how I see it.This spring, city council faced

two unattractive options. Go it alone, or cap off the civic centre and forgo a chance to build a showcase project at the entranceway to Downtown.

New West is a much more confident city these past couple years, but the question here is whether city council has got carried away by the rush.

If the petition/referendum campaign succeeds, it won’t achieve the goal of stopping the tower.

Regardless, this whole episode has done damage to the faith many residents have in their city council, and their wisdom in steering the city on the right track.

A successful sale of the office tower that results in the elimination of the lion’s share of the debt will go a long way to alleviating that damage.

Few will feel good about this situation until that day comes.

A tower of cost and confusion

The sixth Olympic ring is schadenfreude.

In the days leading up to Friday’s opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Games in London, the international media have been gleefully chronicling the myriad of gaffes and shortcomings that have organizers scrambling and issuing statements of reassurance that all will be well.

First it was the weather, cold and rainy then suddenly so hot power lines for a new rail service to the Olympic stadium are melting, resulting in delays and shutdowns.

Ah yes, transportation, the eternal Achilles heel of every modern Olympics; if it’s not cabbies protesting on the Tower Bridge, it’s everyday commuters fretting through gridlock to allow Olympic officials free passage along exclusive traffic lanes.

There are worries about security, as the private company contracted to make the Games safe underestimated the magnitude of the job, necessitating the deployment of the military. Customs agents are threatening to strike. And nobody is sure how much it will all cost in the end.

Sound familiar?Two years ago we were sweating

many of those very same issues in the days preceding Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. And no one was more vocal in their criticism than the British media; one paper even girded their readers for “the worst Games ever.”

But all of the problems were forgotten as soon as Wayne Gretzky lit the Olympic cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza. Just as they will be when the torch is set ablaze in London.

And then we’ll all settle in for two weeks of dazzling athletic competition, compelling human interest stories and national pride. We’ll cheer everyone in red and white, but especially local heroes, like Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair and Curtis Moss.

Re: Poll finds bad driving habits most visible in B.C.

Well, the law’s the law, so I do obey it. But the law is stupid and dangerous.

Stupid? Well, think of it—you and I are not allowed to talk on a cellphone, unless it’s a 911 call, but a police officer or firefighter can use a cellphone. Does that really make any sense? Do we allow emergency workers to, say, drink and drive? Of course not. Drinking’s dangerous, no matter who does it. It’s a real hazard. But cellphone use is a phony hazard. Some people claim that police and firefighters have received “special training.”

If that’s really true—and we all know that it isn’t—then kindly make this training available to all drivers.

Dangerous? How can the law against cellphone use be dangerous? Because, as your study notes, no one thinks it should apply to them. A study in Manitoba shows a 10 per cent rise in accidents after the ban on cellphone use went into effect.

Why? Some experts speculate that it’s probably due to the law itself. Previously, people held their cellphones up to use them. That way, they could still give some attention to the traffic. Now that’s illegal, so they hide their phones, keeping them down out of sight. Except that takes their eyes completely off the road.

Of course, even this law isn’t good enough for some experts. After all, a conversation in the car could be just as distracting as one on your cell. So forget about carpooling. Even if you go alone, does singing along to a song count as “conversation?”

Instead of this knee-jerk rush to apply every new legal fad, why not simply apply the laws that are already on the books, like “driving without due care and attention?” You know, the one the reporters always get wrong: they call it “driving with undue care and attention,” as if care and attention were a crime.

DO TAXPAYERS MATTER?

Re: Referendum wouldn’t stop New Westminster office tower from being built (NewsLeader, July 25)

I looked at the headline on the article twice to believe it.

It seems city council is practising “mind over matter”—they’ve made up their minds and taxpayers don’t matter!

I’m referring to their decision to not only build, but to finance an office tower project despite economic realities and the wishes of electors.

The economic realities are clear. Despite politicians’ claims that developers would line up to build the office tower atop the civic centre, the lone private developer pulled out of the project—apparently just before the election—for “business reasons.”

If this “market signal” wasn’t clear enough, the fact that no other developers stepped up to either underwrite or underpin the risk is even better evidence. Coupled with the fact that New

Westminster already has a 10 per cent vacancy in office space shows that political heads are stuck like ostriches in the sand.

Adding insult to injury is the position of Coun. Jonathan Cote et al that the electorate/taxpayer wishes in this regard don’t matter—despite there being no mandate for the city to get into the office development business. Taxpayers expect the civic centre to proceed without the office tower until a business case is made. Surely “changed circumstances,” with their attendant financial consequences of more than doubling the city debt, should be put to taxpayers (already one of the highest taxed in Metro Vancouver) in a referendum.

We can now give a second “Head In Sand Award” to Cote for his disregard of democratic process. He joins Coun. Chuck Puchmayr who opposed the project before he voted in favor.

E.C. “Ted” EddyNew Westminster

A PRINCIPLED POSITION

I laughed when it was revealed by B.C.’s Environment Minister that the impetus for the province to seek intervenor status in the Enbridge pipeline process, as opposed to government status, came from an offhand comment by an NDP MLA. As it turns out, intervenor status gives the province way more flexibility to pose questions to other participants in the process, including Enbridge, than government status does.

Considering the criticism the NDP and others have directed at the province for supposedly not taking an active role in the Enbridge process, the minister’s revelation is highly ironic.

It also shows the province has done a lot more work, been a lot more involved, and given more thought to the issue than anyone has previously given them credit for. And the end result is a well-considered, well-documented, and principled policy position.

Calling all art lovers: If you’re planning to attend the New Westminster

Cultural Crawl Aug. 11 and 12, make sure you stop by Douglas College for a peek at A Big To-DO, the college’s exhibition of art by students and employees.

The works of two dozen artists will be on display Aug. 9-Sept. 14 at the college’s Amelia Douglas Gallery. The show includes everything from photography, paintings, fused-glass bowls, collage and mixed media, and jewellery made with sea glass.

Nassi Soofi, who coordinates arts events at Douglas, says she and the other exhibition organizers wanted to create an opportunity to bring students and employees together to explore and celebrate different perspectives on art.

Soofi says A Big To-DO offers something to art lovers that they might not find at other shows.

“This show is made up of works by 24 artists, representing students, staff and faculty,” she says.

“Some are just starting out in their careers and others are quite established—so it’s a very diverse show with something for everyone.”

For any art collectors out there, take note that some of the works will be for sale, with prices for every budget, ranging from $20 to $450.

During the weekend of the New Westminster Culture Crawl you can visit with the artists in the gallery from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a closing reception on Sept. 13, from 3:30-6:30 p.m.

The Amelia Douglas Gallery is on the fourth floor of Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. For more information on A Big To-DO, visit newwestculturecrawl.com.

marketing and communications office at Douglas College.

SPORTS

The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies are a win away from advancing to the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League final.

The ’Bellies beat the Delta Islanders 17-9 at Queen’s Park Arena on Monday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series.

After winning 14-13 in overtime in Ladner on Saturday night, the Salmonbellies were in control for the whole game taking a 6-3 first-period lead and extending it to 12-7 after two periods.

Reagan Harding, who had five goals in Game 1, continued to hold a hot stick with a five-point performance including a hat trick. Chase McIntyre duplicated his three-goal, two-assist feat while Keegan Bal scored twice and had three helpers. Luke Gillespie scored three times while Josh Becker had two with singles going to Reese Robinson, Reid Mydske, Brandon Goodwin and Quinn Mackay.

Frank Scigliano made 35 saves and Spencer England had two in the New West net as the Salmonbellies outshot the Islanders 48-46.

The ’Bellies can wrap the series up with a win in Ladner on Wednesday. However, if the Isles prevail Game 4 will be Friday, 8 p.m., at Queen’s Park with a fifth and deciding game, if necessary, on Saturday in Ladner.

The series winner will move on to the league final against either the Coquitlam Adanacs or Langley Thunder. The Adanacs lead that best-of-five semifinal 2-0, and can wrap the series up at home Wednesday night.

Brandon Goodwin of the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies tries to get away from a Delta defender during Game 1 of their best-of-five BCJALL semifinal series. New West has won the first two games of the series.

Little Leaguers win mosquito tourney

A New Westminster Little League team won the Burnaby Minor Baseball Associations mosquito A/AA tournament at Kensington Park last weekend.

New West defeated Ladner 14-1 in the final of the tournament for 10- and 11-year-olds, although five of the team’s players are aged nine.

They won five of the six games they played in the three-day tourney, and tied the other as they beat out nine other teams for the title.

Two tie for 27th at seniorsTwo New Westminster golfers tied for 27th at the

B.C. senior championship played last week at the Nanaimo Golf Club.

Paul Kerbrat shot 78-79-77=234, which was 18 over par, in the 54-hole event while Brian Graham had rounds of 80, 72, and 82 on the 6,448-yard, par-72 course.

Another New West golfer, Paul Batchelor, tied for 64th (82-74-89=245, +29).

Dad Morneau returns to TwinsNew Westminster native Justin

Morneau returned to the Minnesota Twins lineup on Tuesday after missing weekend games for the birth of his second child.

He had been away for three days on maternity leave as his wife Krista gave birth to Martin Morneau on Saturday weighing in at seven pounds and 15 ounces and measuring 21 inches, according to the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

Morneau returned to the team on Monday bearing celebratory stogies,

but he also had a stiff neck, said the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

He apparently slept wrong on Monday night, so Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire used Morneau as a designated hitter in Chicago against the White Sox on Tuesday.

“He slept in a bad bed,” Gardenhire told the Star-Tribune. “Or he slept wrong in a good bed. You can figure it out.”

He went 2-for-4 with a double in

an 11-4 loss Tuesday. He returned to his familiar first-base position on

Wednesday afternoon going 1-for-4 driving in catcher Joe Mauer with a fourth-inning double as Chicago swept the series with an 8-2 victory.

After two injury-plagued seasons, Morneau has played in 74 of Minnesota’s 98 games so far this season. He has a .253

batting average with 11 home runs, 40 RBI and one stolen base.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, who has vowed to pursue a legal strategy to block the Enbridge project, said his party will continue to oppose it – no matter what deal might be struck to steer benefits to B.C. or reduce risks.

“We remain serene and determined to take steps to oppose this pipeline, which we don’t see as being in British Columbia’s interests,” he said.

B.C. is just 10 months away from a provincial election that could elect the NDP, which opposes Northern Gateway under any circumstances but has yet to define a position on the Trans Mountain expansion.

Dix said Northern Gateway is a non-starter because it would require consenting to oil tanker traffic on the north coast.

Dix also accused the government of belatedly trying to catch up to public opposition after it ceded jurisdiction for the environmental review process to Ottawa and then failed to intervene earlier in the Northern Gateway review when it could have still tabled evidence.

“They gave up our jurisdiction, they missed the deadline for evidence,” Dix said.

“Now having been pressured by us but mostly by tens of thousands of people – business groups, environmental groups and First Nations – and they feel they have to take some step to show they’re defending British Columbians’ interest.”

Several environmental groups responded saying no amount of safeguards will offset the damage of a serious spill, especially one involving heavy oil sands crude.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said most First Nations remain deeply opposed to the Enbridge pipeline, adding “it’s not about the money, it’s about the environment.”

Dix said it was too soon for the NDP to take a stand on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain twinning because the project has not yet been formally proposed.

BC Conservative leader John Cummins said his party would also try to negotiate a benefits sharing deal for oil that moves through B.C.

No change to Enbridge pipeline will sway NDP: Dix

System to relay info to police not yet in placeJeff [email protected]

New B.C. regulations clamping down on metal theft are now in effect but nobody’s predicting the scourge will be wiped out any time soon.

Scrap metal buyers now must keep a daily log of their purchases and suppliers, who have to provide identification, be registered and can only be paid by cheque for amounts over $50.

The Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act aims to plug gaps in the patchwork of different municipal bylaws drawn up by cities to try to combat wire theft.

“Hopefully we’ve landed at a place where we have something that will work effectively,” said provincial spokesman and Chilliwack MLA John Les, adding the government will consider further changes if necessary.

“There are some awfully wily people out there

who are sometimes pretty clever in figuring out the workarounds.”

While bylaws have helped reduce unscrupulous salvage metal buying in a dozen Lower Mainland cities, wire and other objects are still pilfered in those areas and then resold where no bylaws exist.

Despite having a bylaw, the City of Surrey alone incurred nearly $3 million in losses last year and media stings have found spotty compliance among local dealers.

Telus pegs its losses to metal thieves at $16 million last year – resulting in phone service outages that left customers unable to use 911 in emergencies – and the firm is averaging an incident each day so far this year.

“We hope it will be a turning point in the battle against metal theft in B.C.,” Telus vice-president Dave Cunningham said of the new law. He wouldn’t estimate how much Telus might pare its losses, but said the company would be happy if it

could halt the steady climb in metal theft incidents.

Everything from phone and power lines to phone booths and manhole covers get dragged in to metal salvagers, mainly by prolific offenders in search of drug money.

Provincial inspectors will also do periodic spot checks of the more than 120 scrap metal dealers in B.C. to ensure they register and comply with the rules.

Violators face fines of up to $100,000 and possible jail time.

The regulations cover not just wire – the main target of thieves – but other specific metal objects like traffic lights, signs, sewer grates and metal grave markers. The new law was a long time coming – municipalities and utilities had been lobbying for action since at least 2006.

Questions abound over how much use police will be able to make of the information collected by buyers to pursue suspected thieves.

Dealers are supposed to relay the information on what

they buy daily and police can compare that to reports of stolen items and then get a court order for more information as needed.

Surrey RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy said greater dealer accountability will give police more scope to investigate.

“If we see a pattern of persons bringing in items to a certain contact, it gives us a point to initiate an investigation and we can go from there,” Fordy said.

Surrey RCMP recently arrested a pair of prolific offenders with 700 pounds of copper wire and busted another 35 metal theft suspects last year.

Fordy admitted a planned system for scrap dealers around the province to electoronically send their buyer logs to local police isn’t yet in place and he had no estimate when it will be ready.

“It is a priority – we’ll deal with it as quickly as we can.”

Critics in the recycling industry contend the rules put too much onus on them instead of the thieves.

Smaller $1.84b deficit includes big HST repaymentJeff [email protected]

B.C. ended the fiscal year with a smaller-than-forecast deficit of $1.84 billion, according to the provincial government.

The deficit would have been $241 million had it not been for the one province’s one-time repayment of $1.6 billion in HST transition funding to Ottawa.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon predicted the province is on track to return to a balanced budget in 2013-14.

But he cautioned while the 2011-12 results are better than expected, B.C. still faces great economic uncertainty from fluctuating commodity prices and potential economic impacts from the European debt crisis.

“British Columbia stands out globally as a safe harbour for investment because our government continues to keep spending and debt under control,” Falcon said, adding Europe’s plight reflects “the perils of the tax-borrow-and-spend mentality.”

But B.C. Auditor General John Doyle pegged the deficit at $2.36 billion, finding the province understated it by $530

million due to its continued practice of deviating from accepted accounting methods.

Because the government posted a deficit, cabinet ministers lose 10 per cent of their salary. They’re all receiving the other 10 per cent of the legislated 20 per cent pay holdback because their ministries met their targets.

A deficit of nearly $2.5 billion had been budgeted.

B.C.’s economy grew by 2.9 per cent in 2011, third among the provinces and better than the national average of 2.6 per cent.

Retail sales, an indicator of consumer confidence, increased by 3.1 per cent in 2011.

Excluding the one-time HST repayment, government spending was held to an increase of 2.6 per cent, down from the 4.3 per cent budgeted.

The provincial government spent $42.8 billion last year, with an additional $934 million going to health, $67 million to education and $51 million to social services. There were cuts in most other areas to offset the HST repayment.

Nearly $3.6 billion went to capital spending on schools, universities, hospitals, roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

B.C. took in an extra $1 billion in tax revenue last year, half of it from more personal income tax.

B.C. on track to balance budget: Falcon

Black Press fileFinance Minister Kevin Falcon predicts the province is on track to return to a balanced budget in 2013-14, but B.C.’s Auditor General says he has understated the deficit.

Appia Development’s newest community has been given the green light by the City of Burnaby to begin sales, which it did on Saturday, July 21.

“We’ve already had an overwhelming response from people all around the Lower Mainland about SOLO District,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We’ve had several thousand people visit our sales centre to preview the units over the past few weeks. We’re now excited to be able to start selling.”

Short for South Of Lougheed, SOLO will include 1,400 suites in four towers ranging from 38 to 55 storeys, a Whole Foods, large rooftop garden, pedestrian pathways, elevated dog park and other

commercial and retail spaces, among other things. The Brentwood SkyTrain station is right across the street.

“We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance. Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver (and) car-sharing options through Modo.”

For more information, visit www.solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

The Pacific National Exhibition is bringing in the big guns for this year’s PNE Prize Home, built by Britco Structures and featuring furniture from Lane Home Furnishings.

The home was designed by Jillian Harris, a former star of The Bachelorette, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Canada’s Handyman Challenge. She will next be co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver. Recently she has been busy designing homes all over the U.S. and Canada, but the PNE Prize Home is close to her heart after living in Kelowna and Vancouver.

“I wanted to do something locally,” she says, adding that it seemed like a fun project and she was looking forward to being able to have creative freedom to design the home, which will be located at the Sun Peaks Resort.

The over 3,000-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 20-foot vaulted ceiling, among many other beautiful features.

Designing the PNE Prize Home presented a bit of a challenge for Harris.

“The home has to appeal to everyone,” she says. “It’s going to be someone’s home away from home.”

She took inspiration from the classic Hudson’s Bay blanket, and aimed for a shabby chic feel.

“I tried to integrate modern details,” she says. “I was able to be more whimsical and edgy with this home because it’s a vacation home, instead of something they’ll live in every day.”

And whimsical it is, with a dedicated sports room on the lower level with a ski-in ski-out entrance and a sleep loft featuring four bunk beds and an interior Juliet-style balcony looking over the bottom floor. The master bedroom is going to be seriously comfortable, with a walk-in closet and amazing ensuite bathroom with a huge soaker tub, glittery chandelier, dual vanities and a large shower stall. A balcony is located off of the master bedroom as well, so you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the view.

Downstairs, the kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with stainless-steel appliances and lots of counter space. The walk-in wine cellar is a work of genius, though Harris says it was a bit of a hard-sell for her crew.

“It has a real wow factor,” she says, adding that it’s her favourite part.

The large dining room table sits in front of a fireplace, surrounded by windows to showcase the mountain all around you. A deck wraps halfway around the home, and an outdoor fireplace and hot tub will also be part of the grand prize.

The great room beside the kitchen has its own fireplace and curved windows, letting natural light pour into the home.

“It doesn’t feel like a show home,” says Harris. “I wanted to give it a cozy feel. The home gives you a hug.”

Outside, the home will fit perfectly into the mountain surroundings, with its rustic architecture and large windows. That rustic architecture continues inside. Homey stone walls, cork flooring and exposed wooden beams are featured throughout, really

giving you the atmosphere of being in a ski lodge.

“I started designing a dream house for people, but this is really my dream house,” Harris says. “It’s my dream (ensuite) bathroom, my dream bedroom, everything ... It was important that this home pulls at your heart strings. It has to make your heart go pitter patter.”

The Prize Home can be viewed at the PNE from Aug. 18 onwards, or on Aug. 5 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $25 for 5 or $50 for 15.

For more information visit www.pne.ca/pneprizehome. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person at the PNE. The winner’s name will be announced on Sept. 12.

“I am so jealous of the person who wins,” Harris says.

Submitted photosDesigner Jillian Harris says that the PNE Prize Home is her dream house, with a spacious kitchen, top, and beautiful rustic features on the exterior, above. The huge living room features a 20-foot vaulted ceiling and a gorgeous stone fireplace, left.

In established neighbourhoods, residents often believe that new rental housing lowers property values. As a result, Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) syndrome can be a barrier to developers wanting to increase density.

Does affordable rental housing lead to lower property values?

The Chicago-based National Association of Realtors’ online library was a good resource, containing links to more than 20 comprehensive studies and articles, some of which, in turn,

reviewed and analyzed data from other studies.

The geographic areas studied included high-density urban areas, upscale suburbs and rural areas. Typically, studies compared the sale prices of nearby homes before, during and after rental housing is built.

WHAT DID THE DATA FIND?

There is increasing evidence that affordable rental units are not a threat to local property values and are instead a net plus. This is because compact development can help build

stronger, healthier communities.In Vancouver, whether

it’s laneway homes or new multiple family units, there has never been an example of neighbourhood property values declining because of higher density, reports the City of Vancouver.

In contrast, quality higher density developments bring benefits including decreased pollution since more residents walk, cycle and take transit.

Most often, average home prices increase more in areas where there is new high density

development than in areas where there is not, according to research in seven communities done by the BC Housing Policy Branch.

Michael Geller, an SFU adjunct professor at the SFU Centre for Sustainability, says a key benefit to higher density affordable housing is keeping property taxes stable.

“If there are no new residents to share upgrading costs, then home owner property taxes are going to increase.”

Affordable housing a net plus
