of the Community Residential Waterlot Leaseholders Association said PMV previously hired an expert from the federal public works department to set the rates. This time, inexperienced personnel did the calculations using old Google images, she said, which she argues overestimate the amount of water lot used. They also charged the water-lot leaseholders—which includes six boats and seven float homes—based on the industrial value of their adjacent land on the shore.

OPEN HOUSE
SAT & SUN
There are many fun things to do around town on warm, summer evenings. Going to a city-run open house doesn’t usually top the list. But on Tuesday night, New Westminster residents packed Centennial Lodge to learn about tentative plans for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC to have a development team play out of Queen’s Park Stadium starting next year. The Whitecaps and the city recently signed a memorandum of agreement to pursue placing a United Soccer League PRO franchise at the stadium. It is currently used for soccer and baseball, but if the new plan is approved it will be a soccer-only facility. The team would be backed by New Westminster native Gary Pooni, a land development consultant, and developer Ian Gillespie of Port Coquitlam along with the Whitecaps. “It was a respectful crowd. They listened quite well,” said city Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. see NEW BASEBALL, A3

Lease rates skyrocketed up to 300% ⫸
continued from FRONT PAGE
She hired her own technicians and managed to get the rent on her floathome community in East Richmond reduced. Leighton said initially it was jacked 134 per cent to $23,400. But her persistence paid off and eventually she settled on $15,000. Now she’s helping others like Francis. “It is a confusing way of calculating rent,” said Leighton. “The main thing is the port’s ignorance. A lot of people succumb to the bullying.” Leighton believes the rent should be based on a percentage of the business. “It’s so much more sensible if it is actually based on what you’re making.” Leighton believes PMV will have to rethink its increases after the province sets its rates, likely in
September. She said current and past dealings with provincial authorities have been much more reasonable. PMV spokesman John Parker-Jervis said many of the Fraser River tenants hadn’t had an increase in 10 years. The process, he added, has not changed in 30 years and the port authority uses the industrial land value to determine the water-lot land values. He pointed out the situation could be worse for the leaseholders if PMV went with residential land value instead. Royal City Marina owner Kent Carbis said initially his increase for his 20-slip operation was more than 300 per cent. It’s down to 200 per cent with negotiations continuing. “Who knows what their

Port Metro Vancouver is trying to implement big rate increase on water-lot leaseholders such as this one owned by Ron Francis in Queensborough.
justification is,” said Carbis of PMV’s rates. “We’ve been struggling with this for a couple of years.” Carbis said if PMV
persists in charging exorbitant rates many operations will have to close and then the port authority won’t get any
money. He added charging higher moorage rates to pay for the increase won’t help operators. Rather than pay higher fees boat owners
will simply move to open water and drop anchor. That, he noted, will create environmental issues for the government to deal with. “I don’t know how it’s going to end up. I’ll survive it. I really do think it’s going to affect a lot of people,” said Carbis. Francis said PMV told him if he didn’t pay they’d find someone else to take over the lease. But that doesn’t make sense to him. The only access to the water-lot is through the land he owns. And he isn’t about to let that happen. “It’s unreasonable. If you look at the bigger picture, if that’s what they want to do, to get rid of us, then that’s the way to do it., Make it so it’s not profitable anymore and they have the power to do it,” said Francis. “They’re going to bury me on (his marina).”
New baseball park would ‘take years to build’ ⫸
continued from FRONT PAGE
“Few people were extremely opposed to it. I found there was a lot of young people that are new people living in Queen’s Park that were thrilled about it.” He admitted, however, those connected to baseball were not happy about losing the city’s only full-sized baseball diamond. “It was kind of the response I was expecting it to be,” said Puchmayr, who has been monitoring social media and email to gauge the community’s feelings. “I’m getting more in favour than opposed, but that’s not scientific.”
To begin play in March 2015 all the details have to be worked out by Sept. 15. The league requires minimum seating of 3,500. Queen’s Park Stadium currently can hold less than 2,000. The grandstand seats would have to be upgraded and the bleacher seats replaced. Details on who will pay for the upgrades, a replacement baseball field elsewhere in the city, and a proposed artificial turf practice field adjacent to the stadium are scarce. Puchmayr said he couldn’t comment because the discussions are in-camera. But he did point out municipalities are limited in
what they can fund. “A city is not allowed to give a private entity a benefit. There has to be certainly some community benefit for any of the investments the city is doing. We can’t build them a park for them to play,” said Puchmayr. “Right now there are discussions going on how we can achieve this … There’s still a lot of work before September. Our staff thinks they can bring something to us to make that decision.” When baseball backer and New Westminster native Cory Helmer does the math the costs begin to add up.

He believes the cost of upgrading the stadium, building a replacement baseball field and putting in another artificial turf field will be $7 million or more. “Something doesn’t make sense here,” said Helmer, 29. “It feels real eery.” He said to build another fullsized baseball park elsewhere in Queen’s Park would take away a softball field. Another option proposed by the city is Hume Park, but Helmer said that would be a tight squeeze. In either case a new park would take a few years to build. “That would cripple New Westminster baseball,” said
Helmer. He said community baseball worked with the city for years to keep the sport in the historic stadium. They raised money to build new dugouts, erect new fencing, install new lights and a scoreboard, and build a batting cage. All that would be lost if it was turned into a soccer-only facility, said Helmer. “You’re going to uproot all the community sports for soccer with 14 (USL) games there?” Another open house on the proposal will be at Centennial Community Centre on Saturday, Aug. 9, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

New West man arrested for fireworks-night stabbing A 26-year-old New Westminster man has been arrested by Transit Police for a stabbing on the SkyTrain following Saturday’s Celebration of Light fireworks display in Vancouver. Transit Police say a woman ran off an eastbound train after
it arrived at Edmonds station in Burnaby at about 1:40 a.m on Sunday. She was screaming that her boyfriend had been stabbed. Police say the couple boarded the train at Main Street Station and became involved in an argument with
another young couple and another man who boarded at Broadway. During the altercation a knife was pulled and the woman’s boyfriend was stabbed in the arm. The three who got on at Broadway ran off the train with one of the men and the
woman being arrested immediately, according to police. The other man, the suspected stabber, managed to get away although the knife was recovered. The victim, a 40-year-old Surrey man, was taken to hospital where he received 15 staples to
New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the development is in line with Metro Vancouver’s livable region plan because Sapperton Green is adjacent to the Braid SkyTrain station. “[New Westminster was] identified as a town centre and dense growth around transit [was encouraged] and that’s exactly what we’re doing so we can take cars off roads,” said Puchmayr. He said the best place for new residents to the region to live is close to SkyTrain. “That’s responsible growth, and I’m surprised that Mayor Stewart as part of Metro Vancouver doesn’t see that.” Before they voted to pass on their concerns, the rest of Coquitlam council was chastised by one of their own. “We might disagree with what they want
to do [but] I don’t think we’re gaining anything by publicly shaming them and
embarrassing them. We need to try to repair our relationship,” said Coun. Chris Wilson.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Maureen Best took this photo of a robin having a snack in her backyard in the West End of New Westminster.
TransLink’s playbook Did TransLink fail to plan for two major disruptions on SkyTrain last month? Or was it a case of learning lessons that can only be learned when things really run awry? Regardless of where one stands, it’s good news that TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis is seeking outside counsel to ensure they’re better prepared in the future. As Jarvis himself has admitted, shutdowns will occur again, and changes are needed to ensure they are managed effectively. Any organization as large as TransLink must have detailed plans for emergencies and major disruptions, and ensure that employees understand how to carry them out. It was unusual to have two major failures so close together, first on July 17 with a computer system control failure, then on July 21 when the power was knocked out. That second event stopped trains for five hours with commuters scrambling for other options and people on trains left to cool their heels. The lack of a working PA system left many passengers in an information vacuum, and anxious riders shoved doors open and risked a walk on the elevated guideways. Jarvis has brought in someone with the right credentials for the review. Gary McNeil, retired former CEO of Toronto’s commuter rail and bus system, was also involved in the planning, design, construction and startup of our the Expo Line from 1982-86. He’ll look at what changes are needed to existing processes and whether TransLink should consider investing in more backup systems. Implementing his recommendations will no doubt mean added costs. But the value of a more reliable system should not be underestimated, in terms of quality of life, public faith and productivity for commuters.

California visit an eye-opener A week-long visit to California was a great experience, primarily because the main purpose of the trip was to attend my son’s wedding in San Francisco. The city is truly one of the most beautiful in the world and it is a wonderful locale for a special event. San Francisco brings in a lot of tourists. The city’s major attractions were packed with people from all over the world, and there was no better place to hear a multiplicity of languages than in one of the lineups to board the cable cars. Many people gladly stood in line to board the famous cars for more than an hour, and the long wait seemed to be part of the fun. San Francisco, with its cool and often-foggy weather, is an anomaly in California. It gets rain regularly, albeit not too much at this time of year, and temperatures are moderate. Travelling to other parts of the state reveal a different set of circumstances.
Frank Bucholtz It is hot and extremely dry. Many areas have received almost no rain for the past three years. The central San Joaquin valley, where a wide variety of agricultural crops for export all over North America are grown, is coping with terrible drought and many farmers have had to cut back on the acreage they have planted, simply because there is so little water available for irrigation. Everywhere you go, there are reminders of the need for water conservation. Low-flow toilets, sinks with automatic shut-offs and many other innovations are widespread. There is some talk of major

fines for breaking water conservation rules, although I am uncertain if much of that has come to pass. I heard one story about a business that will paint people’s lawns green, so they can at least have the illusion of green grass. It’s a bit puzzling why that is so important, yet I realize we live in an area where grass never stays brown for long. We can count on rain. California is the mostpopulated state in the U.S., with a population which is larger than Canada’s. Its gross domestic product makes it the eighth- or ninthlargest economy in the world. It is the state that millions of people are anxious to move to. The number one destination for refugees fleeing into the United States from Central America is California. The overall sense I got during our short visit there is that, without water, that type of growth is simply unsustainable.

There is clearly a major water crisis in most of the state. Many people understand that and have reduced their use of water. State and local governments also get it, and are bringing in regulations and doing things differently, attempting to address the issue. But even if the rains come back on a more regular basis, much of the state will remain dry. It has a hot climate, and much of the area where crops are grown, and where people live by the millions, is desert. It is a good reminder why water conservation is important — just as important as using fossil fuels as sparingly as possible. It also foreshadows the distinct possibility of extensive pressure on B.C. and other areas of the west coast for widespread water exports in the future. Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

of the Lower Mainland’s traffic—people that don’t even live in New West—we have a special lane for all of the school vehicles. My concern, besides the added traffic, is that the lane, Cunningham Street will be used like any other street in New West. Our building is basically surrounded by a moat of traffic. I find it curious how the sign that was on Royal by the overpass has now been removed. It said no trucks between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. We have double lanes of trucks right outside our window. A church with no parking on the weekends, and at times throughout the week. A farmers market on Thursday right across the street. Is there anything else the city has forgotten to saddle us with in terms of vehicles and pollution? It’s hard enough to get home sometimes. Now it appears it will be hard to even leave home unless we want to go all around the mulberry bush or sit stuck in the lane waiting for all of our “visitors” to leave. Who in their right mind would put a school on a road filled with diesel-spewing trucks like Royal Avenue? Sussi Tanner New Westminster

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key… This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I
have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Raceway. I’d say this will be a heavenly day. With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard
on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits It’s the most were posted at 35 mph, powerful production I was impressed with Chrysler V8, as well its road manners.

Safety Tip: Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.

Fights mar winning game The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies got even in the series Monday but the war is far from over. The Salmonbellies defeated the Coquitlam Adanacs 13-8 in a nasty affair at the Coquitlam Sports Centre to even their best-of-seven B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League final at 2-2. With New West ahead 13-6 and less than five minutes left a brawl broke out. Another came three minutes later. From there play was halted three times in 11 seconds for fisticuffs. When the dust had cleared, the sticks picked up and blood cleaned up, officials ended up giving game misconducts to eight Salmonbellies and nine Adanacs, along with numerous fighting majors. Robin Lowenberger of the A’s received three game misconducts while goaltender Riley Camazzola, who went down to the other end of the floor to take on New West netminder Ross Bowman, received four game misconducts. According to reports, Camazzola was upset with New West forward Josh Byrne either nudging him or his celebration of a Salmonbellies goal by Jakob Doucet, his second of the game. Teammates from both sides jumped in and mayhem ensued. The BCJALL came down with a bunch of suspensions and fines for the fracas Tuesday. The league suspended Coquitlam head coach Neil Dodderidge for three games for losing control of his bench. Camazzola was suspended for two games. Coquitlam’s James Rahe got a one-game suspension for leaving the bench. Lowenberger and teammate Ray Banister
were also suspended for a game. Coquitlam was fined $1,500. New Westminster goaltender Eric Penny was suspended for a game for contact directly to the head. Teammates Johnny Pearson and Alex Bohl got one-game suspensions for their third misconducts of the year. The suspensions were to take effect for Game 5 Wednesday at Queen’s Park Arena. Meantime, Byrne led New West with four goals and four assists. Connor Robinson had three goals and one assist while Anthony Malcom scored twice and added three helpers. Adam Dickson also had two goals. Penney was the starting goaltender and had 36 saves in the win. The series resumed at Queen’s Park
Arena Wednesday (8 p.m.) with Game 6 in Coquitlam on Friday. If a seventh and deciding game is needed it will be played at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday (8 p.m.). The Salmonbellies went into the series as the heavy favourite having only lost one

Incinerator power deal gets regulator’s green light Jeff Nagel Black Press
Opponents of Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy strategy have been dealt a blow by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Regulators there have approved an electricity purchase agreement that will see BC Hydro pay $43 per megawatt-hour for power from Metro’s existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby.
Critics had argued Metro’s garbage-fueled electricity can’t count as clean and renewable under provincial law and therefore should be worth much less – closer to the $24 spot price for power exported to the U.S. The aim of incineration opponents was to blow a hole not just in the revenue from the existing plant but also in the business case for a
future new waste-toenergy plant, which Metro Vancouver has assumed will earn around $100 per megawatt-hour. But the utilities commission decided air pollution concerns raised by the Fraser Valley Regional District were “not relevant” in okaying the contract renewal and made no finding on whether the incinerator counts as

clean, green power. It concluded the negotiated price between BC Hydro and incinerator operator Covanta Energy appropriately reflects the cost of power
generation plus a reasonable return. The $24 spot market price wasn’t an appropriate comparison, the commission said, because it doesn’t
apply to electricity that is firm or guaranteed in large volumes for many years. BC Hydro said the $43 contract price is well below its longterm cost of building
new generating capacity of $85 to $100 per megawatt-hour and still attractive compared to the $51 it would pay for nonclean natural gas-fired power.

Investing in the real estate market a focus for buyers By Kerry Vital
In Vancouver’s thriving real estate market, buyers are finding innovative ways to purchase their dream home. One of them is investing in a property in a growing area, allowing the original buyer to either rent out the home or sell it at a premium as the neighbourhood becomes more popular. “With a growing population and increasingly high demand for real estate, the reality of what’s affordable and the dream
location don’t always match,” says Shaadi Faris, vice-president of Intergulf Development Group. “Purchasing an affordable investment property in an emerging area is a means for more first-time buyers to get a leg-up in the market and work towards buying their ideal home in a more desirable location sooner.” He cites the growing boom in real estate opportunities in Burnaby’s Metrotown as an example of buyers choosing to purchase in a vibrant area close to transit and education that

will get them a return on their investment when they choose to sell or rent out the property. “Buyers are becoming very savvy,” he says. “They want to know the price per square foot, what the strata fees are. They want to know what the opportunities are to build their investment.” However, Faris points out that the amenities and features of a home can’t be ignored. “People have to actually want to live there,” he says. Faris has seen a difference in the kind of buyer as well. “It’s a more mature condo market now,” he says. “People are more sophisticated in understanding the lingo and the product, and it’s imperative that there’s no wasted space, because every cent counts. Buyers are looking with that level of detail now; it’s not always an emotional purchase. There’s too much on the line.” Intergulf has seen an increase in just such an interested buyer at their project The Park Metrotown, which is located right in the heart of the area and will have the access to transit and education at BCIT and SFU that buyers are looking for. “People know that it’s a smart place to invest,” Faris says.

Ikonik Homes’ Jacobsen is located just moments from The Shops at Morgan Crossing, and features contemporary West Coast architecture, large windows and spacious three- and four-bedroom floorplans.
Urban elegance at Jacobsen By Kerry Vital
Ikonik Homes has a reputation for exceptional quality and innovative design. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to the South Surrey neighbourhood with Jacobsen. A recent Greater Vancouver Home Builders’

Each home has a side-by-
side double-car garage, adding even more convenience for homeowners. Some homes have extra space for two more cars to park in the driveway. “These homes feel like a single-family home,” says Trent. Inside, natural light pours in through those large windows and fills the space to the airy 10’ ceilings. Select homes have stunning views of the Coast Mountains. Wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas is complemented by lush Beaulieu designer nylon carpeting in the bedrooms. The kitchens are fit for any aspiring chef,
