MP Julian won’t run for leader BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com
BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
After a lot of speculation, local MP Peter Julian has announced he will not go after the provincial NDP leadership post. About a month ago, NDP leader Carole James stepped aside, and Julian was approached by “a significant number of activists, including those in provincial caucus and the labour and environmental movements” to consider running for the position. “At the time, I committed to leaving the door open for a few weeks in order to consult as widely as possible. Though there are a vast number of British Columbians that I could still speak with, I am satisfied that I have spoken with enough individuals in our movement to make a decision,” Julian said in a media statement. “I will not be a candidate for the leadership of the B.C. NDP at the April 17 leadership vote.” Julian said that while he was tempted to consider putting his name forward, he is expecting a number of candidates from the New Democrats’ provincial caucus. “Each of them possesses not only the qualifications to manage the challenges facing British Columbians but also the skills and abilities needed to fulfill the role as a successful Premier of British Columbia,” he said. Over the weeks, Julian was hearing from people on the issue, some urging him to run provincially, others wanting him to hold onto his federal post as MP for Burnaby-New Westminster. “There is important work that needs to be done in Ottawa in ◗Julian Page 10

Queen’s Park homeowners Allyson and Marvin Lemke recently held a house party on New Year’s Day – literally. The couple held a 100th birthday party for their house and invited members of the Blair family, former longtime owners of the character house, to join in the festivities. “One day this summer, Jim Blair, the son, knocked on the door and asked if he could see the house, and that’s what tweaked me to the idea of having a birthday party,” Allyson said. Blair had grown up in the house that Allyson believes the family owned for about 50 years. “He told me he passed by it many times,” she said, adding that he lives in Vancouver now. The Blair family sold the house, located in the 500-block of Fifth Street, in 1981, Allyson said. Two generations of Blairs lived in the home, and some of them were expected to return for the party, Allyson said. The home was built in 1911, and the original owners were the Rennies. The house has been featured on the city’s popular Heritage Home tour, where tour goers can stroll through some of the city’s finest character homes. The Fifth Street home had been well kept through the years, Allyson said. “It had the original wood – unpainted,” she said. “The people who lived here took really good care of it. “It’s terrific. We are really happy with the house. It’s a real gem,” she said. At Saturday’s party, Allyson planned to serve a cake, but she was also hoping to eat up a few of Blair family stories about the house and their time there. “We want them to tell us their memories,” she said.

Property values jump in New Westminster City residential assessments up by 9.11 per cent BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com
New Westminster residential property values went up by 9.11 per cent over last year’s, according to the B.C. Assessment Authority’s website. Burnaby’s residential property values increased by 12.07 per cent, while Vancouver’s increased by 12.17 per cent. But the largest increase in the province was in Richmond, where residential property values went up by 17.14 per cent. However, much of the rest of the province, outside of the Lower Mainland, did not increase by nearly as much. In some areas, such as Whistler and the Okanagan, property values either didn’t change, or decreased. Whistler saw a decrease in residential property values of 2.06 per cent. Homeowners can check online at www. bcassessment.bc.ca, and click on e-valueBC under Public for the value assessment on their home and neighbouring properties. B.C. Assessment mailed out assessment notices with more information on Dec. 31, and homeowners should be receiving those this week. B.C. Assessment shows the assessed value of most of B.C.’s 1.9 million residential properties as of July 1 of the past year, but the actual value of the home depends on the current market. Assessment appraisers consider size, age, quality, condition and location of individual properties when assessing the

Trustee wants better communications James Janzen wants school district to look at whether it needs to hire someone to make sure communications is a priority BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

Parents at a West End elementary school were angered earlier this month when the district started preparing to build two new modular classrooms on the school’s only grass field.

Alternatives. The report looked at 100 chief executives who had earned an average of $6.6 million in 2009 compared with $42,988 for the average Canadian. The discrepancy is almost 50 per cent higher than just over a decade ago, in 1998, when CEOs took home an average pay 104 times higher than the average wage earner. The last such report released by the centre pointed out that one third of all income growth in Canada in the past two decades went to the richest one per cent of Canadians.
Now, we know life isn’t fair, and there’s little point in starting the bright and shiny new year off with a whine. But we also know we’ll soon be hearing from those same CEOs that their companies will need a) more tax relief b) tariff relief and/or c) relief from giving their employees full benefits or hiking up pension contributions.

Vander Zalm may be in deep trouble IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY
F
ormer B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm enjoyed a political resurrection this past year, with his successful campaign against the harmonized sales tax. He can be credited with helping to force Gordon Campbell from office, and there has been talk of restarting his political career. Not so fast. He may have finally have bit off more than he can chew with his attack on former conflict commissioner Ted Hughes’ reputation. As a result, we may eventually witness a fascinating courtroom showdown between two of the most pivotal players on the political scene in the last two decades. At issue is Vander Zalm’s self-published autobiography, entitled For the People. Hughes is suing Vander Zalm for libel for his characterization, in the book, of Hughes’ investigation into whether the then-premier was in a conflict of interest over mixing government business with his ownership of the Fantasy Gardens theme park. Hughes, of course, concluded Vander Zalm was indeed in a conflict of interest, and his damning report led Vander Zalm to
resign from the premiership in disgrace. But as his autobiography made clear, Vander Zalm has never really accepted Hughes’ findings. His book served as a score-settling vehicle on a number of fronts, not the least of which was getting back at Hughes (and, to be clear, at journalists such as myself). However, Hughes’ statement of claim filed in court zeroes in on almost a dozen references in Vander Zalm’s book that allegedly paint Hughes as being “selfinterested, biased and politically partisan” in the course of his Fantasy Gardens inquiry (which Vander Zalm actually disputes ever took place). As someone who was deeply immersed in the whole Fantasy Gardens issue, and who has known both Hughes and Vander Zalm for more than 20 years, I will boldly make a prediction here: Vander Zalm appears to be in deep, deep trouble. Ted Hughes is arguably the highest respected B.C. civil servant in recent history. His reputation as a fair, ethical and no-nonsense adjudicator is well-earned and cannot be questioned. A testament to his high regard was revealed in the immediate aftermath of the Bud Smith tapes scandal in the late 1980s. Smith was forced to step down as attorney general, and Hughes was his deputy minister at the time. Hughes held an extraordinary news conference and pronounced that he – not any politician – was now in charge of the criminal
Make this a year of change
Dear Editor:
Welcome to 2011! We should be keenly aware of the opportunity before us this year. Now is the time to get our city council acting on issues that have dragged on for the past few years. If they don’t make some real progress, we have the opportunity to kick their butts to the curb in the November elections. I encourage individuals and residents’ associations to work together to get action from our elected city leaders or make them pay the price of losing their jobs in November. I can think of several issues to address: ◗ Traffic: Let’s stop talking and execute solutions. ◗ Taxes: We have been in near-zero inflationary times for almost three years, yet the tab to run the city increases four to six per cent annually. That is very poor management. ◗ The Massey Theatre: This has been a farce, and anyone “inside” will tell you how manipulated the ◗Vander Zalm Page 7 process has been.
We pay the tab. We need to get our acts together, communicate our expectations and hold these people accountable. Larry Hill, New Westminster
Time to ban plastic water bottles Dear Editor:
An open letter to superintendent John Woudzia, New Westminster school district: As environmentally aware students of New Westminster Secondary School, we would like to challenge our school, with the support of the board, to take part in promoting public water consumption. Our goal is to ban the distribution of disposable plastic water bottles in our high school. Disposable water bottles pose a greater threat to our environment than the students purchasing them are aware. They undergo an extensive process before appearing in the vending machines in our hallways. Students may think that they are being healthier by ◗Time Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time to get rid of bottles ◗ continued from page 6
drinking “cleaner” water, but, in reality, tap water is more regulated and proven to taste better. The water bottle companies (eg. Aquafina by Pepsi) have provided us with a false sense of security by convincing us that bottled water is safer than tap water. Students who are reassured by the “security” of manufactured water are unaware of their consequences on the environment. The companies have created a mirage that can only disappear if we take back the power of the tap. This mirage is stimulated by the consumers’ belief in recycling as the answer to everything. However, most bottles that we place in the blue bin are being shipped across the world, downcycled into cheaper materials that cannot be reused, and then thrown in the trash. Our society is being brainwashed. The water bottle companies tell citizens to recycle just so we environmentalists will be content. Having become aware of the negative effect of disposable water bottles, let us explore the way in which we can reduce their impact. Throughout the year, reusable water bottles could be sold as part of “Hyack spirit wear,” at school functions such as athletic competitions or the school musical. Furthermore, these bottles could be designed with Hyack colours (orange and black) in mind to promote school spirit. As students of NWSS, we would be excited at the prospect of buying a reusable bottle! We are willing to dedicate as much time as needed to organize any necessary fundraising to make up for the lost vending machine revenue. We are aware that the topic of plastic
water bottles has been discussed at previous school board meetings, and that there have been a few concerns surrounding this topic. The primary concern was the lack of water fountains in certain elementary schools. The school board decided that banning water bottles would have to wait until new schools in the area were built. This, however, is irrelevant to the high school’s current situation with the distribution of water, seeing as we already have water fountains. The state of neighbouring schools should not stop our high school from being able to make a positive environmental impact. Another concern was that the school receives a profit when the plastic water bottles are purchased. This is a frustrating reality because we are being pushed to ignore the dangerous threats that plastic water bottles pose to our environment. This also demonstrates to students that money matters more than the sustainability of our planet. As students of NWSS, we are extremely appalled when we became aware of this concealed source of profit. Therefore, we encourage the school district to consider this plan. What we ask is that our school district take single-use water bottles out of our high school vending machines by September of the 2011/12 school year. With your commitment to this plan, we and our Environment Club can begin the organization of reusable water bottle distribution at our school. We thank you greatly for your consideration and hope to further discuss this topic in the near future. Marie-Claire Massicotte and Hannah Crisp, New Westminster Secondary School
Vander Zalm: Ex-premier in for trouble? ◗ continued from page 6
justice system. Rather than being questioned, the universal reaction to his statement was one of relief. At the time, Hughes was seen as a white knight, riding to the rescue of the integrity of the impartiality of the justice system, which had been bruised by the scandal. He soon became the province’s first conflict of interest commissioner, whose findings were never questioned or argued against. Former NDP premier Glen Clark tried to dump him, but Hughes refused to go, and Clark backed down in the face of public opinion siding with Hughes. Since then, Hughes has been given special assignments by several governments, including his damn-
ing review of how this province’s child protection policies are inadequate. Again, no one has ever questioned his judgment or conclusions. But now Vander Zalm has decided to take him on. Bad move. The former premier has demonstrated a penchant for revisionist history (his book reads as if he was simply a hapless victim of various conspiracies, and the only thing he ever did wrong was being too trusting). Last fall, he went on CKNW radio and accused me of lying because I pointed out that, as premier, he had hired a numerologist who was a self-described racist and a speechwriter who believed in an international banking conspiracy. Vander Zalm claimed he
never even heard of either man, even though his association with them was welldocumented at the time. Maybe he genuinely can’t remember the past. But Ted Hughes may well force him to remember it, with painful accuracy. Mutual acquaintances tell me Hughes isn’t interested in settling out of court and is interested primarily in clearing the air and protecting his reputation. In his own court-filed response to Hughes’ statement of claim, Vander Zalm offers the novel defence that he never intended to make money off his autobiography. It will therefore be deeply ironic if, in fact, he actually loses a small fortune for losing a lawsuit over his life story. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Developers will pay more to build in city BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
It’s going to cost more for developers wanting to do business in the Royal City. The city’s development cost charges (DCC) went up on Jan. 1, 2011. Development cost charges are charged to developers building residential, commercial, industrial and other land uses. The increase is the result of a review of charges that dates back to 2007. In 2009, city council voted in favour of bringing in new rates in two phases – beginning in January 2011 and January 2012. Lil Ronalds, a senior planner at city hall, said council decided to phase in the increases after some developers expressed concern about the magnitude of the increases. “Industrial goes down in the mainland and Queensborough for 2011,” she said. “Everything else goes up in 2011. Then in 2012, residential goes up again, and live/ work.” Rates are calculated by projecting the amount of infrastructure investment needed to support expected growth. “The current rates were based on insufficient long-range planning documents,” Ronalds said. “The way these are created, you have to justify the DCCs to the province based on capital planning programs, engineering and planning. … The rates were
very low because we didn’t have enough background information to justify higher rates to the province.” On Dec. 8, the city received the province’s approval for the new development cost charge bylaw. Development cost charges are payable when a project’s building permit or subdivision is approved. According to Ronalds, Queensborough’s development cost charges will still be in the middle of the regional average and the mainland’s development cost charges will still be in the lowest half, once the new rates take effect. David Roppel, director of planning and development for Aragon Properties Ltd., said the increase in development cost charges will result in about a $1 million tax increase for Port Royal. “The DCC is not a tax on developers,” he said. “It is a tax on New Westminster residents, businesses.” But Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said the New Westminster’s development cost charges are still in the middle of the pack or just below the regional average, even with the increases. “New Westminster being in the middle of the pack is not a bad thing,” he said. He noted the city has hired a consultant to assess the fairness of the rates on master planned communities of Port Royal and Victoria Hill.

Local residents can bid farewell to their Christmas trees this weekend – and lend a hand to a good cause at the same time. The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society is hosting its annual tree chipping fundraiser Jan. 8 and 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the No. 1 Firehall, 1 East Sixth Ave. “There’s a barbecue, popcorn, face-painting, music, they’re doing a fire extinguisher demo, all kinds of stuff,” said Kristian Davis, the city’s supervisor of solid waste and recycling. “It’ll be a fun time, and it’s always good to get out and support a good cause.” People can also drop off trees at the city’s recycling depot at East Sixth Avenue and McBride Boulevard. Be sure to remove all tinsel and ornaments.

2011,” he said, adding there is widespread speculation that a federal election will take place this spring. “As a proud B.C. Member of Parliament who has been fortunate to live and work in most regions of Canada, I have heeded those who tell me it’s important to continue the work of building our party nationally for a probable election in 2011,” he said. “This opinion was particularly strongly expressed in the last few days prior to this announcement, as many realized that to run for provincial leadership meant resigning forthwith my position as Member of Parliament for Burnaby-New Westminster. I am honoured to represent our community in Parliament and will run for re-election in Burnaby-New Westminster in the federal election that will likely take place later this year.”

Top 5 things to do in the city this weekend◗P12 Our Past ◗P13
Ugly sweater craze hits city BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A party craze that’s popular in Vancouver has made its way to the Royal City. The Terminal Pub and NEXT New West joined forces to hold an ugly Christmas sweater party on Dec. 16. “It was fun,” said Tej Kainth of NEXT New Westminster, a local networking group. “There were between 30 and 40 people.” NEXT New West didn’t plan on having an official networking function for December, but several members said they’d like to get together informally during the holiday season. Kainth spoke to staff at the pub about the possibility of having an ugly sweater contest. “It’s a huge craze in downtown Vancouver,” she said. “They have ugly sweater parties all the time.” Coun. Jonathan Cote won the Ugliest Sweater award at both his workplace and the NEXT gathering. He enlisted the help of his mother-in-law in creating an ugly sweater. “She did not let me down,” he said. “Despite some tough competition, the sweater was awarded Ugliest Christmas Sweater in the office.” The NEXT event gave Cote a chance to wear the sweater out it public. It was declared the Ugliest Sweater in New West. “To give you an idea about how bad this sweater is, I even had to tone it down a bit – by removing some bells and ribbons – before I could even wear it,” he said. “As for the sweater’s future, time will tell. (my wife) Alix is mortified
Style: Serena Lo and Justin Williams model their contributions to NEXT New West’s ugliest sweater contest. by it, so it may end up mysteriously disappearing in the new year.” Kainth said the group’s sweaters featured assorted holiday themes like reindeer and garland. One attendee didn’t have an ugly sweater, so he dressed up as an elf, and his girlfriend dressed up as Rudolph. “There were people who wore an ugly sweater that didn’t have anything to do with Christmas,” she said. For more ugly Christmas sweater photos, visit the The Record’s website at www. royalcityrecord.com.

Program helps students gain independence A CLASS ACT

NIKI HOPE
unique educational program for young adults with special needs recently held an open house to help community members understand the program. Retired New Westminster Secondary teacher Pat Numata and the families of three of the students started TEAM, an acronym for Together Exploring Alternative Models for Life, in 2009. They created the program as a way to offer their special needs children a postsecondary program that
would help them acquire greater independence as they matured. Today, there are four students in the program. Lessons include weekly trips to G&F Financial to manage a bank account, visits to local coffee shops, shopping trips, computer lessons and exploring career opportunities. “The business community in New West has welcomed them with open arms – employees at Anny’s Ice Cream even greet these students by their first names,” Numata wrote in a TEAM newsletter. “Thornbridge Gardens, without hesitation, offered space for the program and the Rotary Club has helped with providing some funding. This community has given these young adults the opportunity to establish networks,
develop and maintain positive relationships, explore their abilities and continually grow as individuals and active community members.”
Food challenge
High schools in the Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore are competing to raise the most donations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society during their holiday food drives. High schools have until Friday, Jan. 14 to have their donations weighed at the food bank to be included in the challenge. The school with the most donations will win an afternoon skate for their entire school at the Pacific Coliseum on Sunday, March 20. The competition, called Campbell’s Fill the Rink on Renfrew, is a partner-
ship between Campbell’s Canada, the Vancouver Giants hockey club and B.C. Ferries. “In past years, we had heard how local high schools would compete against one another to raise the most donations. We thought we would make this an official competition and hope to involve all high schools in our catchment area,” Cheryl Carline, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society, said in a press release.
Top student
Congratulations to New Westminster resident Elena Pirvulescu, who was awarded class valedictorian and a gold medal at the Certified Management Accountants of British Columbia Society’s convocation ceremony in
November. Pirvulescu earned the highest combined grades out of 185 graduates on the certified management accountants national entrance exam and the strategic leadership program.
Gone carolling
New Westminster Secondary School students spread a little Grease lightning along with Christmas cheer last month. The cast of the school’s upcoming production of Grease went carolling through the city. Grade 11 students Jaycee Clarkson and Jenna Grossman helped organize the event, which took place on Wednesday Dec 22. Jaycee plays Rizzo and Jenna is Frenchy in the upcoming school performance of the beloved
musical, which follows a gang of ’50s teens through the trial and tribulations of adolescence. There are 17 students playing main and supporting roles in addition to 29 in the chorus. The carollers were out to boost holiday spirits and promote the show, which runs at the Massey Theatre on Feb. 24, 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. with a matinee performance on Saturday, Feb. 26. Tickets are $14 for students/seniors and $17 for adults. Call Massey Theatre box office at 604521-5050 or visit www. masseytheatre.com for tickets.

A time for joyous renewal OUR PAST
ARCHIE & DALE MILLER
T
he end of one year and the start of a new one has for most cultures and for a long time, been time of celebration and festivity. Historical references note that this time of year was frequently taken up with friendly greetings, thanks for the year just ending, and hopes and suggestions for the months to come. In early New Westminster, we note that there were often special gatherings, many at midnight, in the churches. Other groups got together to bring in the New Year and to celebrate its arrival. Stories describe dinners, concerts, parties, meetings, and family events with an emphasis on fun, food, drink, and music. Some wintry memories from the past include clusters of people outside, gazing at the stars, moonlight on a snow-covered landscape, boots crunching on the frosty ground, sleigh
riding (or coasting as it was called back then), skating when possible, and huge bonfires lighting the sky and warming the watchers. Newspapers from this city’s early decades feature many promotions linked directly to “New Years”. Shops selling food stuffs would point out their many items with seasonal connotations, including special sauces, pickles and condiments, cakes and cookies, candies, sweets, preserved fruits, teas and coffees, and other long lists of things seasonal. Some shops offered alcoholic beverages of all types and a wide range of tobacco products from all over the globe and stationery stores noted diaries, date books, and the like for the new year.
New Westminster Fire Fighters invite you to...
This is much like today isn’t it? Not really all that different in its overall context from how we will gather at New Years to welcome in the new and usher out the old. When we today look back it doesn’t seem possible that a decade has gone by since we marked the years 2000 and 2001 and their “millennium” connections. For some it is hard to believe that two years have past since the 150th anniversary of the B.C. Colony and gold rush, with many saying “but I took part in the 100th – how is that possible?” There are many examples of how fast things change, but it is after all, just part of life and living. Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2011.

◗ MINOR HOCKEY
BWC Bruins win second straight in AAA shootout BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The Burnaby Winter Club Bruins won their second straight Burnaby AAA bantam hockey tournament by a shootout. The Bruins went to a lucky 13th shooter, Johnathon McPherson, before defeating the Kamloops Jardine Blazers 4-3 in the championship final at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on New Year's Eve. BWC player of the game, Nicholas McBride, stopped all but two shots in the shootout, including the game-winning stop on Wesley Matusda. "There were a lot of shots and not many goals. It's pretty fun, especially when you're making all the saves," said McBride, who faced 30 shots in the 70 minutes of regular and overtime. The winter club was outshot 6-0 in the two periods of extra time. All three Burnaby goals came off the sticks of defencemen. Ty Schultz kept the shootout going in the fifth round with a must-score wrister that beat Kamloops' tournament top goalie Kyle Michalkovsky. Second team all-star Dman Victor Dombrovskiy then put Burnaby ahead with a goal off the backhand in the eighth round. But Kamloop's Carter Cochrane also scored to continue the marathon shootout. "It's our fourth game
‘
against them but we're 30-1. Every game has been a one-goal game. We scored with three minutes to go to win in Chilliwack," said winter club head coach John Batchelor. Burnaby got on the board first, scoring on a rush up ice midway through the first period on the first of two goals from Barzal, the youngest player on the winter club roster. The Blazers tied it up with eight seconds left in the opening frame. Kamloops then took the lead 2-1 seven minutes into the middle period when McBride was caught without his stick at the end of winter club penalty. Schultz knotted the scored on a shot from the point six minutes later, but Kamloops regained the advantage on a late power play from Blazer player of the game Ryan Gropp, with his second goal and third point of the game. Barzal scored the gametying counter in the opening minute of the final period, scooting down the right side of the rink and roofing a snap shot high to the goalie's glove side. Kamloops had the better chances to take the lead later in the period, but McBride was a step better, including two quick pad saves that saved almost certain goals. Burnaby's Nicholas Rasovic had an opportunity to score the go-ahead goal in the dying three minutes of the game on a goalmouth scramble.

DENTAL OFFICE Perfect Royals ace atom tourney STATE-OF-THE-ART NOW OPEN IN NEW WESTMINSTER The New Westminster Royals Atom C3 team posted a perfect 6-0 record to win the North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association tournament last week. The gold medal game was all Royals, with New Westminster scoring early and often en route to a 10-2 victory over Burnaby C4 in the tournament final. In a thrilling semi-final match against the Coquitlam Chiefs, the Royals overcame an early 3-0 deficit to come back and win 4-3. The Royals started the tournament with a convincing 11-1 victory over Port Moody C2, and followed it up with a 9-3 victory over North Vancouver’s C9 squad. In a close battle, the Royals edged North Vancouver C7 by a 4-3 margin. In their first of three games on the tournament’s
final day, the Royals easily outdistanced North Vancouver C6 by a 13-2 score. Leading the way for the Royals was Alex Lazecki, with eight goals and 12 assists. Vineet Kalia scored 10 goals and seven assists. Troy Tucsok led the Royals in goals with 11, to go with four helpers. Joe Callard contributed five goals and seven assists while Will Turnbull added six goals and five assists. The defence was led by Rhys Lefebvre (four goals and six assists) and Jacob Hamm. Goalie Andy Sissions led the tournament with a sparkling 2.33 goals-againstaverage. Every Royal player had points, including Gabe Searle, Josh Balfour, Kevin Webb, Gavin Fan, Nick Lovell, Grace and Rachel Matts and Lukas Stokholm-Shaw.
