Accused killer in court Bains will be back in court in September BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

The man accused of killing New Westminster residents Jill Lyons and Karen Nabors nearly one year ago appeared in court on Friday for a brief arraignment hearing. Surrey’s Sarbjit Bains appeared in New Westminster court on July 25 via teleconference from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam, where he’s been remanded since his arrest back in January. The 32-yearold looked restJill Lyons less and sometimes bored, leaning back in his chair as he, his counsel and Crown waited for the judge to arrive. Once the judge arrived, the hearing passed quickly with both Crown Karen Nabors and the defence asking to reschedule the arraignment to a later date in light of the “significant amount of disclosure” related to the case. The judge accepted their motion and moved the arraignment to ◗Murder Page 5

Home security: New West resident Jen Arbo and local police Const. Michael Blackstock inspect Arbo’s front door, which was kicked in by a thief last year. New Westminster police are reminding residents to take care this summer, especially when they’re heading out on holidays.

Stay safe for summertime BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Going on vacation this summer? There are few tips the New Westminster Police Department wants you to keep in mind before you head out on your holiday. First and foremost, says New West Const. Michael Blackstock, don’t post details of your trip on social media. “People like to post on social media, particularly Facebook … that they’re about to go on a trip,” he says. “That’s all well and good, but the problem with social media sites is people don’t necessarily have their security set up very well.” With a lack of security on social media,

Blackstock says it’s easy for thieves to find homes that are going to be empty during certain times. “The criminals or the thieves get to know who’s out and not home,” he says. “They use the social media like everybody else does, and that’s sometimes how they know that people aren’t home or away.” According to Blackstock, if people really want to share photos and updates with family members they should make sure their privacy settings on social media platforms like Facebook are top-notch. Otherwise it’s best to wait until you get back, he adds. “Social media is a great thing for staying in touch, but at the same time we usually recommend that people wait until they’re

back from vacation before they post all their photos,” he says. New West resident Jen Arbo knows firsthand what it’s like to come back from vacation to a break-in. Last year, she and her family travelled south of the border for her birthday. They were gone only one night, but by the time they crossed back into Canada the next day, she had dozens of messages from her dogsitter saying their home had been broken into. “Sometime in between her (the dogsitter) leaving at 11 p.m. and then coming back, our house was broken into,” Arbo tells The Record. ◗Theft Page 3

Theft: Break-in helped motivate neighbours to better safety

◗ continued from page 1

And the thief was especially motivated. Arbo says investigators with the New Westminster Police Department told her that the thief broke a basement window to check if there was an alarm. When no alarm sounded, the thief then attempted to break into the house through the back door, even using a pick axe from the Arbos’ shed, but when that didn’t work the thief went around to the front and kicked in the door, which is visible from East Columbia Street. “They ransacked my room and stole all my jewelry, and then they stole my laptop and my son’s piggy bank,” she says. While Arbo doesn’t believe she was targeted, the experience has made her and her family more protective of their property. Since the break-in, the Arbos installed top-of-line motion

detecting lights, replaced the bolts in their front door with heavy-duty ones and hung curtains in their basement windows. They’ve also gotten to know their neighbours better to prevent any future break-ins in the area. “Our neighbourhood is closer now as a result of us being broken into, because I told pretty much every single person what had happened, and as we all got talking we started learning, ‘Oh, well actually we got broken into two years ago,’ and ‘Oh, we got broken into a year ago,’ and suddenly we started putting connections that this was more common than we thought,” Arbo says. Today, the neighbourhood is more likely to report suspicious people or activity in the area than they would have prior to the Arbos’ break-in, which is another important tool in preventing property theft while away on vacation, Blackstock says.

“Neighbours are great because they’ll keep an extra eye out for any suspicious activity that might be going on,” he says. As for Arbo, the break-in wasn’t something she’d want to experience again, but she is pleased with the positive effect it has had on her neighbourhood. “It’s brought us together as a neighbourhood, and we’re also a little more likely to question people we don’t recognize because we know who we … recognize now,” she says. Blackstock encourages anyone who sees suspicious activity in the neighbourhood to call the police, either 911 or the nonemergency line at 604-525-5411, and report it. “We really encourage anyone to call us if they see anything suspicious,” he says. “If they think it’s odd, we probably think it’s odd as well.” Twitter.com/CayleyDobie

NWPD tips on protecting your home this summer: ! Install an alarm system ! Buy a small safe to lock up important documents and valuables ! Make sure all doors and windows are locked before you leave ! Use a secondary lock, like a piece of wood, on windows and sliding doors ! Have someone come by to check on the house and to turn lights on and off ! Ask a neighbour to collect flyers and newspapers so they don’t pile up ! Keep your car(s) in your garage, or if you can’t, make sure they’re left empty ! Keep an inventory of all your valuables in case a break-in occurs ! Get insurance

Murder: Motive, cause of death still unknown in two killings ◗ continued from page 1

Sept. 3 at 9:30 a.m. in New Westminster following disclosure of all related evidence in the case, which the Crown explained was a large amount because of the complex nature of the case. It’s been nearly one year since Lyons and Nabors were killed. Forty-five-year-old Lyons was found dead in her apartment shortly before 10 p.m. on Aug. 12. Thirteen days later Nabors, 48, was also found dead in her apartment – both women were living in the same building in the 200 block of 11th Street. At the time, investigators with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team,

Morrison s Grill Restaurant | Banquet | Catering

who had taken over the cases, told The Record the cause of deaths was unclear and further toxicology reports were needed to assess if the women had in fact been murdered. After almost five months of silence from police, the homicide team announced at a press conference on Jan. 6 that a suspect had been arrested and two charges of firstdegree murder had been laid against Bains. Both motive and cause of death remain unknown at this time as investigators with the homicide team wouldn’t provide any details once the accused was arrested for fear it could damage the court proceedings currently underway.

But there are also some other, perhaps less obvious, steps to take if you want to stay safe – and those steps involve social media. Sure, we know you want to tell all your friends about your impending African safari or retreat to Bora-Bora. But stop and think a moment before you post the good news on Facebook – do you really want everyone to know? Sure, you trust your friends. But do your privacy settings allow their friends to see your posts? Or worse yet, the

world at large? Before you post anything on social media about going away and leaving your home unoccupied, it would be wise to double-check your privacy settings – and even wiser to post nothing at all until you’re back home. Then you can post your tanned and smiling selfie and gloat all you want about your fantastic vacation – without worrying that you’ve just invited thieves over to play. So be smart this summer. Just a few simple precautions could prevent you from becoming another sad statistic.

A pipe dream full of problems for Clark IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

ot a week goes by, it seems, that doesn’t see Premier Christy Clark talk, yet again, about the vast riches that lay in B.C.’s path if only a liquefied natural gas industry gets off the ground in this province. It’s a theme that began before the last election and one that helped carry her to a surprising victory with the voters. People seem to at least want to believe the fairy tale-like talk about billions of dollars coming our way, to help eliminate the provincial debt and even the sales tax. But for all the time the premier spends talking about this subject, more evidence (or at least information) turns up that reminds us all about just what a shaky roll of the dice the whole LNG gambit may prove to be. Clark is arguing that the glut of natural gas on North American markets has kept the price low, and therefore B.C. must look to other markets to make money. China, Korea and Japan all loom as potential customers of B.C.’s LNG. To be fair, she has a point here. The steady decline in the price of natural gas in North

America has meant dwindling revenues to the provincial treasury arising from royalties on gas sales, and this has been going on for several years now. Annual natural gas royalty revenues for the B.C. government peaked in 2005/06, at almost a whopping $2 billion. Back then, the price was a lofty $7.27 per gigajoule, but things have gone downhill ever since, as the shale gas revolution in the United States exploded. The revenues bottomed out at a measly $169 million in 2012/13 and are expected to hit nearly a half-billion dollars or so this year, but the days of royalties generating more than a billion dollars a year appear over. And even the current estimate for this year’s revenues may be in jeopardy of being too high. Prices are lagging behind predictions of a few months ago, and even a 50-cent change in the price from what was predicted equals about $140 million in lost revenue. All of this volatility underscores the premier’s argument to find new markets. But while the price for LNG remains high in Asia, who is to say those prices will remain high when and if a B.C.-based LNG plant is up and running a few years from now? China recently signed a mammoth long-range deal with Russia for natural gas, and there are reports the price included in it is much lower than current prices.

Dear Editor:

Please tell me I am jumping the gun and the city of New West plans to do more than what I see now on Royal Avenue. Our building is on Royal Avenue. Need I say more? As if things weren’t bad enough already, the city has decided that an entrance for the new school should be on Merrivale Street accessed from Royal Avenue. Our building sits between Royal Avenue, Cunningham Street (which is a lane) and it is also bordered by Fourth Street and Merrivale Street. We are talking one square block here. The brilliant people in the know have put the entrance to the school on Merrivale instead of Agnes Street, which is considerably longer and more spacious. To top it off, the people in the know have also ◗LNG Page 7

cut off access for any left turns off of Royal onto Merrivale Street. Our only option to turn left to get home now is Fourth Street where only one car can turn left per light change. Anyone familiar with Royal Avenue will know that the stream of traffic goes from the bottom of Royal right to the bridge entrance for hours at a time. So now, in addition to half of the Lower Mainland’s traffic, 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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Poor planning on Royal ◗ continued from page 6

all day and well into the night. 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 gases? 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 on Royal Avenue? Who would want their kids to go to school there? Please tell me I am jumping the gun over this seeming disaster-to-be. Sussi Tanner, New Westminster

Front Street has a future Dear Editor:

Many people think I’m crazy for deciding to remain on Front Street after the devastating fire that destroyed half the block in October 2013. My little boutique, Localo Living, is now one of only two vintage stores that survived that devastating fire.

Front Street was once known as Antique Alley, and a great destination place for shopping for antiques or that hard-to-find collectible. Now Front Street is barely a blip on people’s radar, but I think it is the best place for my boutique. Why do I believe in this almost forgotten area, while so many others think my decision to stay means doomsday for the boutique? Well call it intuition, call it a sixth sense, but I believe in the revitalization of Front Street; so much so, in fact, that I have decided to expand my boutique and add an espresso bar to it. I see the change coming to this area mostly by all the customers that come into the boutique saying they are new residents to New West. Many young people and young families are moving in from funky neighbourhoods of Kitsilano, Yaletown and the West End of Vancouver. What brings them here is New Westminster’s charm, affordability and strategic location in the Lower Mainland. I believe instead that Front Street will be a major player in downtown New Westminister’s revitalization, and having my vintage home boutique and first espresso bar, I am set to meet the growing demand for new products and services. So you can see that Front Street is definitely not dying but is only just opening its eyes and taking its first breath.

SFU professor and energy expert Mark Jaccard has pointed out that the Asia market can become just as volatile – and cheaper – over time as the North American one. If the Asian market price for LNG drops significantly, that alone could threaten the economic models of private companies contemplating building those proposed LNG plants in northwest B.C. Another potential problem: several recent media reports have said a major New York hedge fund has bought a $1 billion stake in Apache, one of the companies involved in a proposed LNG project in Kitimat, and is urging the company to get out of the project. According to Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, the hedge fund managers apparently think

No trucks on Royal Avenue? No dice BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

TransLink has put the brakes on the city’s request to push truck traffic onto roads surrounding the city. In March, the city asked TransLink to remove Royal Avenue, East Eighth Avenue and portions of East Columbia Street and Ewen Avenue from the city’s truck route network. TransLink has nixed the request to take trucks off Royal, East Eighth and East Columbia and has deferred a decision about Ewen Avenue. “Not the decision New Westminster was looking

for, and part of the decision is not what we were expecting,” said Coun. Jonathan Cote, co-chair of the city’s master transportation plan committee. “Certainly from the city’s perspective, we are disappointed with the response, in particular regarding East Columbia, East Eighth and Ewen Avenue. We felt there was a very strong case to remove those right away, as the justification of those being truck routes right now didn’t really make a lot of sense and was having an unnecessary negative impact on the livability of those neighbourhoods.”

While the city thought a decisions that we felt could decision about those three have been made and would routes would be straight- not have had a significant impact on goods forward, Cote said movement in the it recognized Royal region.

16 YEARS IN A ROW

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Outdoor flicks a big-screen hit BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Grab a blanket, your loved ones and get ready to snuggle up under the stars – New Westminster’s summer movie series is back. Hosted by New Westminster Parks and Recreation, G&F Financial and Park Georgia Realty realtor Derrick Thornhill, the annual free outdoor movie series kicked off on July 11 with the super popular Frozen. The series of outdoor films is a project brought to fruition by Sandon Fraser, youth services coordinator for the City of New Westminster, who felt the city needed to offer more free family-friendly events. “A while ago there was discussion around more opportunities for families, more free opportunities for families in the city,” Fraser said. This is the third year for the summer series, and this year, as a way to get more people out to the screenings, Fraser and city staff sent out a questionnaire asking residents what movies they wanted to see on the big screen. “It was good. We had close to 300 people

respond, and everyone got to vote on the movies they wanted to see, and we used that list to guide what movies we would show,” he said. Unlike past years, this year’s series is more balanced in terms of target audience. This year’s lineup includes such classics as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Grease, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Top Gun (Take My Breath Away, anyone?). There’s also a handful of kid favourites including Muppets Most Wanted, Up, and Despicable Me 2. “We tried to balance it between the older fan-favourites and newer movies that families and children would love,” Fraser said. “When you have such a wide age range, trying to please everyone can be hard to do, but we thought we picked a good variety of movies.” Attendance for the screenings has been well received so far, especially for Frozen, which saw one of the largest crowds in three years, Fraser said. Attendance really depends on several factors including what other events are going

The stadium doors open at 7 p.m. and the movie gets started at about 8:30 p.m. depending on the sunset that evening. The film could be cancelled due to poor weather, so on dreary days be sure to call 604-527-4634 to confirm the screening is still on. This week, residents can catch Top Gun.

The board expects the event will attract about 10,000 treasure hunters and folks just out enjoying music on four stages, displays and attractions, food, a kids zone, a pet zone and more. “We are energized with the new performances we have lined up this year,” said senior event organizer James Crosty in a press release. In addition to raising funds for local charities, the event gives buyers a chance to reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle and resell items they no longer need. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Bosa Properties as our premier platinum sponsor,” Crosty said. “Bosa’s support, combined with that of our gold, silver, bronze and raffle sponsors, confirms we are well underway to producing our largest event to date.” Sponsorship forms and instructions are available at quaysideboard.com or 604-521-6677.

Walking for better health

ordic walking is a great way to keep fit – something the participants of New Westminster’s Seniors Nordic Walking Club know full well. Kelly Friesen, independent living coordinator at the Seniors Services Society, noted the group participated in a Nordic walking event in Whistler last year. The event, sponsored by Osteoporosis Canada and Nordics Canada, was such a terrific experience that the group continued the Nordic walking program this year. So what is Nordic walking? It’s just like walking, but with the added benefits of using walking poles.

Friesen says walking with the use of the poles has many advantages for older people. The poles give great balance and you “use 90 per cent of the body’s muscles without doing strenuous cardio activity,” she points out. The motion a person makes when using the poles utilizes more of the body’s muscles without such high impact. With practice, Nordic walking builds endurance and strength. The poles are adjustable for height and have a rubber bottom, which can be taken off depending on the terrain. Further, Nordic walking benefits are helpful for those suffering from arthritis. see pg. 13 …

Poles, instruction provided … from pg. 12 Friesen notes that those who have arthritis and participate in the Seniors Nordic Walking Club have reported less pain in the mornings. This year’s walking club has been a huge success. According to Friesen, the bus transporting the seniors is nearly full each week. This bus service picks seniors up at their homes, takes them to the venue and returns them back home at the end of the walk. At last count, there were 16 on the bus, and one senior who meets them at the walking venue. The Seniors Nordic Walking Club began June 19 and continues every Thursday throughout the summer. It started at Mercer Stadium where seniors walked around the

track, learning the proper techniques of Nordic walking. Since then, the Seniors Services Society has offered different trip venues for enthusiasts to explore. At the end of September, the club will participate in another large event held at Burnaby Lake. This will be a two-, five- or 10-kilometre walk and will bring together other seniors’ associations to celebrate their Nordic walking experience. One of the best parts of the club is that it’s open to a range of abilities – you don’t have to be a speed walker to participate. While the club is not appropriate for those using a walker, Friesen says the benefits for those involved go above and beyond. On each Thursday, there is

never a shortage of smiling faces. Another advantage is that seniors are not only provided with the Nordic walking poles, but they receive instruction as well. Both Friesen and another co-worker are certified instructors. If you would like to participate in the Seniors Nordic Walking Club, contact the Seniors Services Society at 604-520-6621. There is a small weekly fee of $5 for bus usage. –Boyd Reynolds

’Bellies win battle into playoffs BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are in the post season. The senior A ‘Bellies broke a three-team deadlock for the fourth and final playoff spot, knocking off both Langley and Coquitlam to earn the one remaining spot in the Western Lacrosse Association playoff last week. New West bounced Langley from contention, winning 10-6 over the Thunder at Queen’s Park Arena last Thursday. The ‘Bellies then followed up that win with a 9-5 victory in Coquitlam over the Adanacs on Saturday. “We’re going to the playoffs. How about that?” said Salmonbellies team captain Curtis Hodgson after Saturday’s win. New West needed much of the opening period to get its motor running, falling behind 2-0 before Jordan McBride kick-started a turnaround in fortunes for the at-times goalchallenged Salmonbellies’ front five. McBride, the game’s first star and scoring leader with seven points, tallied all three of his goals between the first and second periods, including a thing of beauty on the goahead marker set up by Jeff Cornwall on transition. Hot off the bench and nearly past the left side of the crease, McBride took a lead pass on the run and whipped an over-theshoulder shot past Adam

We’re in: New Westminster’s Colton Clark, in red, appears to signal the senior A Salmonbellies’ reemergence as a solid contender heading into the ﬁrst round of the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. Shute while he was falling to put New West ahead 3-2. The Salmonbellie offence responded with four more counters in the second period, including a back-to-back pair by Sean Robinson from just outside the circle to close the period. New West increased its lead to 8-3 early in the third on a goal by Cliff Smith from the left side. “I thought tonight was the best offensive effort

in the second and third periods (we’ve had),” said Hodgson. “It’s a turning point for this franchise.” After starting the season 3-8, New Westminster is 5-1 in its last six starts, including season series’ wins over Burnaby, Langley and Coquitlam. “We had two choices – we could make excuses or buy in to what our coaches were saying and see what we needed to do. We’re

buying in and doing it as a group.” A big part of the change came from the back To view end as witnessed videos, by Thursday’s win scan at home as six of with the team’s 10 goals Layar came on the transition, including two each from team fireplug Tyler Crompton and Cornwall. Rookie defender Brendan Ranford also chipped in with a goal and two assists. “Different guys have

been stepping up – it’s our identity, and our goalie (Alexis Buque) has been in the zone,” added Hodgson. New West will finish out the regular season at home against the third-place Maple Ridge Burrards in a preparation for the post season for both teams. “We want to compete and we’re happy we responded well to the challenges. We’re ready for the next one,” Hodgson added.

Raquel Tjernagel was the fastest Canadian in the women’s 200 metres at the IAAF World junior track and field championships. The New Westminster sprinter set a new B.C. open and native women’s youth record of 23.75 in the 200m, smashing Krysha Bailey’s 14-year-old record mark of 24 seconds. Tjernagel’s pending record time also obliterated her own previous best time of 24.21 and advanced the Coquitlam Cheetahs club runner to the semifinals following a third-place finish in the qualifying heats at the world juniors in Eugene, Oregon on the weekend. “It was amazing,” said Tjernagel’s coach Tara Self. “We went down to watch and she ran a phenomenal race. It was at the right place and the right time. To be able to go into that environment and perform exceedingly well is outstanding.” Tjernagel was later eliminated in the semifinals of the 200m following a sixthplace finish despite a second straight sub-24-second heat at the worlds.

Last weekend, New West lost 11-6 in Coquitlam on Friday and 11-7 at home the following night. In both games, New West started strong but failed to hold onto the advantage in the later periods.

But this time New West’s early lead stuck. Adam Dickson started things off at the one-minute mark, with his first of two goals in the opening period, finishing off a three-way pass play from Connor Robinson and Josh Byrne. The Salmonbellies built up a To view 6-1 first-period lead, despite being a video, outshot 21-16 in the period. scan Eric Penney got the start and with was solid in the cage, stopping 36 Layar shots before being sent to an early shower following a five-minute high sticking call. After that, all hell broke loose. Nearly 350 minutes in penalties were whistled down, including more than 210 to Coquitlam, as the game degenerated into a series of fights, including an allout brawl at 15:12 of the third period that resulted in seven player ejections. ◗Juniors Page 15

Game 3 was a wakeup call, said Byrne, who led all scorers with four goals and four assists. “It’s a long series. … We were not as focused as we should have been. We had to dig down.” Connor Robinson added a hat trick for the ’Bellies, while Johnny Pearson, Jakob Doucet and Anthony Malcom chipped in with a pair of goals apiece. “We have to keep pushing focus. We have to be ready to ride the waves of the game,” Byrne added. “You just have to keep a level head.” In Game 2, the junior ‘Bellies jumped out to a 3-0 lead, all on power-play goals, before Coquitlam pickup James Rahe broke the ice late in the period. The A’s then quickly erased New West’s 4-1 advantage with five unanswered goals in the middle frame, led by a Wesley Berg hat trick. Berg led all players with four goals and seven points as Coquitlam continued to roll in the third period, chalking up a 5-2 advantage.

In Game 3, New West’s big guns, Byrne, Malcom, Brett Dobray and Pearson, all collected a goal in the first five minutes of play.
