WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 24 2014

A New Westminster man has been charged with second degree murder in connection with the death of a worker at a Nanaimo Street transition house Sept. 16.

Steven Rogers, 25, was arrested last Wednesday and made his first court appearance Friday. He is charged in the death of Jason Collett, 38. Police said the two knew each other, but would not release any other details.

New Westminster police were called to the home operated by the Last Door Recovery Society in the 1100-block of Nanaimo about 4:30 p.m. last Tuesday where they found Collett deceased.

He was an evening support worker at the home and had been working part-time for Last Door since April 2012. During the day he was a crane operator.

On its Facebook page, the society said, “Whether Jason was waving at you from a crane tower over Metrotown, pruning a tree, or working through some written exercises with a client, he was kind, courteous, considerate and diligent.”

Police said Rogers did not have a criminal record. His next court date is Oct. 8.

Students get look at new digs on hectic first dayGrant [email protected]

The first day back at school is usually hectic. Add it happening after a bitter teachers strike is settled and the chaos is multiplied. Throw in being surrounded by a construction zone and the challenges increase exponentially.

But when Qayqayt elementary opened its doors to students for the first time Monday it went well, considering the circumstances.

Students eager to see their new school on Merivale Street off Royal Avenue and Agnes Street gathered on the gravel, all-weather playing field—the school gym is still under construction—Monday morning. Then class by class they were escorted through to their shiny, modern classrooms.

“It’s a cool way to do it because you walk in together and you get the tour. They got to see where the office was, where the washrooms were,” said district superintendent/CEO John

Gaiptman. “You’re probably seeing more boxes in classrooms than you’ve seen before as teachers are

still putting things away. We had a great first day. The tone was fantastic.”

Friday, the day after the deal was ratified by the teachers, was invaluable for getting the school set up, said Gaiptman.

“Qayqayt was ready, but individual classrooms had to be created so that teachers would know the shape of the classroom, where each desk would go, each activity station would

go,” said Gaiptman. “Qayqayt looked like it should which is a very beautiful, modern school and clearly designed for 21st century learning.”

The gym should be ready in two to three weeks, said Gaiptman. Outdoor construction as well as work on the Neighbourhood Learning Centre is still ongoing.

“It was certainly an adventure, but I think it went really well,” said Qayqayt district parent advisory chair Serena Trachta. “Every day the amount of work finished changes.”

Viktoriya Ostankova unpacks boxes for her French immersion classes only minutes before the first students entered Qayqayt elementary school for the first time on Monday.

The election race is starting to heat up as Tej Kainth (pictured)

and David Brett throw their hats in the ring.

The PAC was out in force offering coffee and hot chocolate. She said although there were some snafus it went well given all the logistics, the rain and the construction.

“There was a bulldozer working and we were just laughing, this was too funny,” said Trachta.

Despite all the work Trachta, an architect, sees a positive to starting school while construction continues.

“It’s a great experience with those of us that love buildings,” she said. “It’s pretty cool as a teaching tool.”

Trachta anticipates the school district will eventually have to

figure out drop-off zones, but that can wait a few months until the dust settles.

New Westminster Teachers Union president Grant Osborne said Qayqayt teachers had their work cut out for them.

“They worked long and hard on Friday, I’m sure many of them were there over the weekend,” said Osborne, who did a walk through with Gaiptman and the project foreman from Yellowridge Design Build on Friday. “The work they

did between Friday and Monday was pretty impressive.”

Other elementary and middle

schools had their issues dealing with the quick back to school set up but not on the same level.

“Where it was a very good day for the students it was an exhausting day for support staff, teachers and administrators,” said Gaiptman. “I saw smiles on student faces, and saw very tired staff but they seemed to be very pleased to be back doing what they do best which is educating our kids.”

New Westminster secondary was particularly chaotic. Counsellors, who are NWTU

members, were scrambling to set up and adjust student timetables. Much of that work is normally done late in June and through the summer.

“There’s no question they’re going to be working well into the evening trying to do all the necessary course changes,” said Osborne on Monday afternoon. “The kids will be where they need to be.”

Osborne said his members realized the contract was the best deal the B.C. Teachers Federation could get at the time. He wouldn’t revel the exact number, but said New Westminster’s approval rate in the ratification vote was “hugely supportive.”

Excited kids, tired staff welcome first day at school

Executive director of Tourism New Westminster wants to add some ‘Spark’Mario [email protected]

Tej Kainth boasts about New Westminster’s attractions and character every chance she gets.

As the executive director of Tourism New West, that’s part of her job.

Now she wants a hand in creating those attractions, enhancing that character.

Kainth announced on Saturday she’s seeking a seat on city council in November’s municipal election.

A lifelong resident of the city, Kainth said the time is right for her to jump into politics.

“I’m running because I love this city and I’m excited about all the opportunities ahead of us,” said Kainth. “There’s this new energy in New West. People are so engaged in the community and I want to put that into action.”

Kainth said she wants to build community by sparking conversations and projects

around family support, smart growth, economic development, transportation planning and youth leadership.

“Everyone is watching our city,” said Kainth. “We’re starting to become a destination where people want to live, work and play. Whatever we’re doing, we have to do it in a smart way.”

Kainth said she also hopes to get more people involved in steering the city’s future by getting them out to vote.

“Voting is one of the best ways to shape our city,” said Kainth.

Kainth graduated from New West secondary school after attending Lord Tweedsmuir and Lord Kelvin elementary schools. She was also the city’s 123rd May Queen in 1993.

She’s also played a key role in several initiatives in the city, including the Key to the City program, NEXT New West young entrepreneurs networking group and the NextUP awards.

Says city needs more collaborative approach

Queen’s Park Residents Association president David Brett will run for city council in the Nov. 15 civic election.

Brett announced his candidacy Monday.

The “intellectual capital expert” has in the past year been vocal on the truck traffic disrupting his neighbourhood.

He also supported a proposal to renovate Queen’s Park Stadium to accommodate a Vancouver Whitecaps development team, which city council decided against in the end.

“Solving New Westminster’s major challenges, such as heavy truck traffic, is going to take a solutions-focused approach,” said Brett in a news release. “A collaborative, win-win attitude towards our regional partners needs to replace the adversarial and antagonistic approach we see so often on council.”

He cited growing the city’s

business sector, attracting knowledge-based employers and increasing city hall productivity as other key priorities.

Brett has been QPRA president for four years, and has served on the city’s policing committee, the Hyack Festival Association and a Queen’s Park heritage study group.

He and his wife Lorraine have lived in New West for 20 years, raising three boys. He has an MBA from Simon Fraser University and is currently an advisor for Greenspirit Strategies Ltd., a Vancouver environmental communications firm.

New Westminster has chosen the cheapest and quickest option for the Front Street Parkade demolition.

The deconstruction would require the closure of Front Street to traffic for eight weeks with the work being done 12 hours a day, five days a week. The city estimated the cost at $3.3 million. Pedestrian access to Front Street businesses would be maintained with a covered walkway.

“There is going to be some impact to business,” said Coun. Jonathan Coté. “But in the end the removal of the parkade is really going to help businesses on Front Street.”

The Front Street Parkade is the portion located between Begbie and Sixth streets, or the western portion.

Coté said the demolition will open up Front Street, putting life back into what had become a dead commercial street.

The city’s engineering department is exploring alternatives for truck traffic including allowing them to use Columbia Street, said Coté. “It will have an impact on the transportation system and alternative routes need to be found.”

The city is targeting February 2015 to start the work.

The western half was built in 1959 with the eastern addition in 1965. The parkade has 850 stalls but only about a third are used. The city says tearing down the parkade between Begbie and Sixth will open view corridors and restore Front to “its original design.”

VICTORIA – This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three.

It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters.

Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.

To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt.

A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer.

One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea.

Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process.

Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations.

Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry.

The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities.

How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government?

This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes.

In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes.

After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province

to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people.

When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.

And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds.

So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Report card time for local politicians

The kids are back in school.Getting them there, along with

their teachers, wasn’t easy. But the BC Teachers’

Federation and the government deserve some credit for finally getting down to brass tacks after too many false starts in the past several months.

The agreement will not resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the BC Liberal government, which was the underlying issue that kept the two sides far apart.

That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal next month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the provincial government.

Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later. But the glacial pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the Court of Appeal decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, means a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is likely still years away.

From the beginning, this strike was all about the students, and the quality of their education in our public school system, according to both the teachers and government.

If that’s truly the case, robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is something neither the province nor the BCTF should be proud of.

In the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the BCTF.

Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife.

Given how this dispute unfolded, most parents will now look to teachers and the provincial government to live up to prove the integrity of their fight for the quality of their children’s education.

COMMENTRe: Check candidates health (Letters, NewsLeader, Sept. 19)

I am amazed! This letter has so many flaws it is nearly unbelievable.

It is such a thinly veiled attempt to discredit certain members of our current council and possible contenders that it borders on laughable.

First of all, by law it is generally speaking unacceptable for even employers to ask a person’s age or health status when interviewing in the hiring process. It is considered discriminatory.

A person’s age and health are private issues and should be left that way.

According to Gavin Palmer all voters should ask each candidate these two questions before deciding whether they think a candidate will be able to last for a four-year term on council. What does he think should be done with the usual 15 to 20 candidates? Line them up in Anvil Centre so the masses can come and check each and every one to make a determination if they are suitable to stand for election? Or perhaps waste the time during all candidates meetings.

Given his logic (or lack of) we should also check and see if they drive too fast, cross streets, take flights, eat fatty foods or any number of activities that could possibly affect their ability to complete their terms.

I certainly hope Mr. Palmer does not seek a seat on council again this year, as I will be the first to ask about his health, especially his mental health—which according to his letter would be fair game.

GIVE COTÉ A CHANCE

Ian Robertson said it well regarding the need for a administrative change in New Westminster.

I want to add that if we give Wayne Wright one more chance, Jonathan Coté will be gone to greener

pastures and we will lose a good man with a vision for New Westminster.

Let’s give Mr. Coté and his vision for New Westminster a chance.

Mike HoyerNew Westminster

IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME TO THIS

I’m proud of the many New Westminster citizens who stood up to city council and helped prevent destruction of Queen’s Park and the valuable park facilities, which includes a baseball stadium, heritage grandstand, and playing field.

Together we signed petitions, attended council meetings, made passionate and strong presentations to council, sent letters, marched in a rally, posted on social media—and accomplished something near impossible: we made city council listen to the people!

Queen’s Park is safe for now from bulldozers and chainsaws,

at least for the next two months until upcoming local elections.

Make no mistake.City council changed their

minds only after realizing they faced a massive election loss if they approved this proposal against the “will of the people.”

Many council members wanted to approve this proposal. Otherwise why would they allow it to proceed all the way to final vote, causing lots of stress, frustration and division in the community?

Council should have declined this proposal before signing the Memorandum of Understanding because, for example, this proposal clearly violates the Queen’s Park Master Plan.

The same council members, if given a chance, wouldn’t hesitate to bring the same proposal, or something similar, forward again after getting re-elected.

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7689, 2014(DOWNTOWN PARKING REQUIREMENTS)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Downtown Parking Strategy was approved by Council on December 2, 2013. One of the recommendations in the report was “right sizing” the parking requirements in Downtown New Westminster, refl ecting a trend in reduced car ownership, particularly near SkyTrain Stations. This zoning amendment bylaw would implement the recommendations which relate to on-site parking.

WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW 7689, 2014 ABOUT?This bylaw would implement the section of the Downtown Parking Strategy related to on-site parking requirements. Key elements of the recommended zoning requirements include:

• A moderate reduction in strata-titled residential parking requirements that refl ect car ownership rates in the area;

• A lower, uniform parking requirement for all commercial properties that more accurately refl ects current and projected future usage levels; and

• The inclusion of trip reduction initiatives in the bylaw, which allow for reductions in parking requirements.

SPORTS

The New Westminster Hyacks won their opening conference match-up decisively at Mercer Stadium Friday night.

The Hyacks hammered the West Vancouver Highlanders 54-8 in a B.C. high school football AAA Western Conference battle billed as New West’s homecoming game.

Although the Hyacks have a 3-1 record overall, their lone loss coming in Texas in August, this was the first game to count in the standings.

New West jumped out to a 20-0 lead after five minutes and were up 34-0 by the time the 12-minute first quarter ended.

It started with receiver Matt Seymour going on a long run that set up a four-yard touchdown by Jordan Guzman. Then West Van fumbled twice deep in their own end which the Hyacks quickly turned into touchdowns, the first a one-yard run by Guzman and the second from four-yards out by Adrian Cagampan.

Seymour then caught a 53-yard TD toss from quarterback Jamie Shiho, who a few minutes later scored on a 54-yard run. Julian Ramirez’s six-yard run made it 41-0 at half time. In the second half, Cagampan scored

another TD on a 24-yard run. Guzman went the same distance to get his third major of the game.

• The junior varsity

Hyacks downed Pitt Meadows 36-8 at Mercer last Thursday, They will play host to the W.J. Mouat Hawks of Abbotsford on

Thursday, 5:30 p.m. Both teams are 1-0 in conference play. The Hyacks are 3-0 overall against Canadian competition.

New Westminster’s Justin Morneau has a shot at winning his first batting title.

The Colorado Rockies first baseman headed into the final week of the Major League Baseball season in a virtual tie with Pittsburgh Pirate Josh Harrison for the National League lead in batting average. With 155 hits in 487 at bats, Morneau had a .3183 average while Harrison was 156-for-490 giving him an average of .3184.

Morneau, 33, is seeking his first batting title, although he’s had better averages in the past. In 2006,

when he won his American League most valuable player award, he hit .321 but finished behind Minnesota Twins teammate Joe Mauer (.347) and New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter (.344). He also had a .345 batting average in 2010, but only played in half of Minnesota’s games, 81, which made him ineligible for the batting title.

In his first season with Colorado after signing a two-year $12.5 million contract last December, the injury-plagued Morneau has played in 130 games, hit 16 home runs and driving in 79 runs.

BC CHAMBER EXECUTIVES CONFERENCE INJECTS $50K PLUS INTO LOCAL ECONOMY __________________________________The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is very pleased

with the outcome of the BC Chamber Executives Conference held earlier this month. The conference succeeded not only from an economic standpoint but from a marketing perspective as well. Chambers from all corners of the province are now able to share with their respective communities the experiences afforded them in New Westminster.

“The hosting of events like these drives economic bene� t for our City.” says Chamber CEO Cori Lynn Germiquet. “With accommodation, venue and catering, entertainment, facilitation, social events, local restaurants and retailers, our conference’s economic impact well surpassed the $50K mark.”

MLA Judy Darcy of� cially welcomed the delegates to New Westminster with her strong message of Made in BC which was the of� cial theme of the conference. In addition to MLA Darcy, the conference welcomed presenters on topics such as

Enhancing Chamber Relevance; Economic Development; Social Networking; Financial Management; Creating New Revenue Sources, the Role of the Chamber in Community Crisis and Advocacy.

“Delegates to this year’s Conference and AGM came away with a wealth of new ideas and skills enhancing their ability to provide outstanding value to their Chambers and its membership.” said Allan Asaph, 2014- 2015 BCCE President. “Based on the theme “Made in BC,” the conference focused on topics that are vital issues addressed by Chambers in their local communities. Hosted by the New Westminster Chamber, the delegates received a warm introduction to the community and many of its local businesses and attractions. Many thanks to New Westminster Chamber CEO Cori Lynn Germiquet and volunteers for making this a great location for our conference.”

THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED THE BC CHAMBER EXECUTIVES GALA __ WHAT ISSUES ARE ON THE MINDS OF BUSINESS IN NEW WESTMINSTER? ___________There are issues affecting business that are important to

your Chamber of Commerce and we want to hear solutions from our civic election candidates.

Over the course of the past year we have polled, surveyed and consulted with our members on what they feel are important issues facing New Westminster business. As a result, we have developed a series of ten business related questions for our candidates. Each candidate will receive the questions and all of their responses will be posted on our website verbatim. A panel has been assembled to provide commentary on the candidate’s responses.

Don’t forget to register to attend the October 28, 2014 Mayoral Debate!

ELECTION QUESTIONS 1. In your budgeting and policy development process,

how important do you think it is to have measures that increase employment in New Westminster? Would you see that as more or less important than actions regarding livability, leisure and entertainment?

2. What changes would you propose in order to attract more businesses to City of New Westminster and make the environment more “business friendly?”

3. What would your relationship be with the Chamber of Commerce and how would you see us working together to get the input – and meet the needs – of our members?

4. To date, the City of New Westminster has not been that effective working with others on regional transportation issues. What would you do to change that?

5. Currently, industrial property taxes make up a signi� cant portion of the City’s annual budget, yet many industrial areas are neglected when it comes to basic services like transportation and public safety. What would you do to change that?

6. While there is an interim solution to the Bailey Bridge, a permanent one will need to be found during the term of the next Mayor and Council. How would you approach that?

7. How would you ensure that the changes to the Master Transportation Plan suggested by the business community – relating speci� cally to the movement of goods and traf� c through the City – are fairly considered and implemented?

8. To date, the City has not successfully engaged the business community in its annual budget process or regarding taxation issues. How would you change that?

9. What is your economic development vision for New Westminster and how would you go about implementing it?

10. The population of New Westminster is expected to increase by over 23,000 by 2031, and immigration is going to be a signi� cant driver of this growth. What policies or measures would you put in place to support better immigrant integration in our business community?

RiverFest

Port Metro Vancouver is excited to be back again this year as presenting sponsor of RiverFest.

We are proud to participate in the celebration of the living and working river in honour of B.C. and World Rivers Day. RiverFest’s free, fun, family friendly event is just one of over 50 community events throughout the Lower Mainland that we attend each year, as part of our Community Investment Program.

“We’re very proud to support RiverFest,” said Evangeline Englezos, Director of Community & Aboriginal Affairs. “What better way to celebrate the river and our maritime heritage.”

During RiverFest don’t miss the always popular paddlewheeler tours setting sail on the Fraser River every hour from noon to 5 p.m.

Join us aboard the MV Native, a replica paddlewheeler like those used to move cargo and people at the turn of the 19th century.

Purchase tickets at the Fraser River Discovery Centre before the event or onsite during RiverFest with proceeds benefitting the Fraser Alumni Association to support leadership and maritime education programs for youth.

Port Metro Vancouver is Canada’s largest and most diversified port, handling $184 billion worth of cargo each

year and generating 57,000 jobs in the Lower Mainland. Our business is not just to help facilitate the movement of goods; it’s to do it in a good way—providing for safety and environmental protection and working with our neighbours.

We identify areas of importance with our neighbours and work together to build strong relationships to share the benefits of trade and our quality of life.

RiverFest

Every year on the last Sunday in September, millions of people come together at hundreds of events across the country to celebrate river systems and promote water stewardship.

Rivers Day has been endorsed by the United Nations and is a truly international celebration, but it has a special connection to British Columbia; Rivers Day began right here in our province.

Before Rivers Day became the worldwide occasion that it is now, it started out as a simple shoreline clean-up initiated by Mark Angelo.

He gathered 40 of his friends and they floated down the Thompson River together on five rafts, fishing out any debris they came across along the way.

The result was a massive pile of garbage that even included a few cars, and Mark realized that it would take more than a single day’s work to keep the Thompson healthy, safe, and clean.

BC Rivers Day was born out

of this realization. Over the next few years,

the event rippled across the province. The provincial government officially declared the day and dozens of communities participated in a variety of stream clean-ups, habitat enhancement, educational outings, and riverside artistic celebrations.

The new millennium marked an increased international interest in Rivers Day. The United Nations declared 2003 the International Year of Freshwater and launched the “Water for Life Decade.” Mark then approached the UN about expanding BC Rivers Day into World Rivers Day, and in 2005, Rivers Day was officially

declared around the world.Decades after the original

shoreline clean-up, Mark continues to play an important role in river conservation. In 2009, he was named as the First Chair in River Ecology for the Rivers Institute at BCIT, allowing him to maintain his tireless efforts in bringing attention to rivers around the world, including our very own Fraser River.

Rivers Day is now annually celebrated by up to 100,000 participants across the province of B.C., and it has been embraced by millions of people in close to 30 countries around the world. That number is expected to grow to nearly 70 countries this year.

BC and World Rivers Day started right here in B.C.

Our rivers really are the arteries of the planet; they are lifelines in the truest sense.

Kellie Haines (11 a.m.)

Kellie started talking to her puppets at the age of 8 and when they started talking back, she knew she had a show! A dynamic entertainer in theatre, clowning, singing and dance, Kellie & Co. leaves audiences wondering just who is pulling the strings.

During this interactive and hilarious show, Kellie, Kamilla the frog and Magrau the bird celebrate diversity in people and in nature! Kellie & Co. bring the magic of ventriloquism to everyone they meet. Be prepared for some belly laughs.

The Wild Romantics (noon)

Evan Miller and Aleisha Kalina walked the same small-town high school halls long before they ever started making music together.

Although they missed each other on the graduation stage by four years, fate couldn’t keep The Wild Romantics apart.

Armed with just two voices, guitar and sparse percussion, their music has drawn comparisons to the haunting, intimate folk of The Civil Wars to energetic, foot stomping,

southern driven rock n’ roll in the spirit of Shovels and Rope and Johnny Cash. The Wild Romantics put immense value on being able to share their stories of love, life, loss and learning by taking their own experiences and creating stories that audiences relate to personally and can take home with them.

Although the band only formed in 2013, they have already stunned audiences into silence with their vulnerable and passionate performances. This year alone they’ve shared the stage with bands like Wake Owl, The Lion The Bear The Fox, and Luca Fogale. With the release of their full-bodied, Cory Woodward (The Lion The Bear The Fox) produced EP, 2014 looks to be the year The Wild Romantics move into the big leagues of the Canadian music industry.

This time, though, they’ll be graduating together.

David Newberry (2 p.m.)

David Newberry is a songwriter/performer whose music provides insight into the remarkably complex world we live in. Never sacrificing

hopefulness for truth (or beauty for despair), he coaxes the listener into a conversation about life, art, and the magic of survival in challenging times.

Earning a reputation for captivating live performances ripe with creative storytelling, and armed with a sharp eye for detail and an ear for pushing the boundaries of what roots music “sounds like,” his brand new EP “Desire Lines” is capitalizing on the momentum and strength of his previous releases and positioning him for a big year.

Juno winner David Francey calls him “absolutely brilliant...” and EXCLAIM! Magazine says he is as “an artist to watch,” and “evidence that Canadian roots music is in good hands.”

His 2012 album “No One Will Remember You,” (Northern Electric) produced by Adam Iredale-Gray of Fiddlehead Studios (featuring significant contributions from members of the Deep Dark Woods and others) proved that Newberry is able to flawlessly combine his deep connection to timeless roots music with his well-worn understanding of the modern sonic palette.

The music of the Wild Romantics share their stories of love, life, loss and learning by taking their own experiences and creating stories that audiences relate to personally and can take home with them. They take the stage at noon on Saturday.

RiverFestThe Tourist Company (3 p.m.)

It’s been less than a year since the release of their debut album Brother, Wake Up, but that hasn’t even crossed the mind of Vancouver progressive folk band The Tourist Company. The group embarked on their first tour in the fall of 2013, with the original trio of Taylor Swindells (vocals/guitar/trumpet), Jillian Levey (vocals/percussion/glockenspiel/keys), and Brenon Parry (drums/percussion) expanding with the addition of a new member: Guatemalan-born, and Mexico/Oregon-raised bassist and multi-instrumentalist Josué Quezada. With their new ensemble complete, the band left audiences across Western Canada stunned at this fully developed, confident band that boasted infectious harmonies, intricate slower melodies, and clap-along beats.

Harmonies swell, drums roll and surprise you at every turn, and the tunes are varied, yet catchy. Part of the band’s exploration with new sounds is thanks to the EP’s producer, respected singer-songwriter Jordan Klassen, who brought his whimsical sonic qualities to the table to complement Taylor’s strong songwriting foundations. The EP also gave Jillian the chance to fully embrace her role as a vocalist with “One Giant Leap”; a playful tune that will undoubtedly be stuck in your head after one listen.

Armed with a new member and a new EP, The Tourist Company are eager to introduce themselves to you. Whether it be through your stereo, your headphones, on-stage, or face-to-face, expect to be meeting them soon.Greg Drummond (4 p.m.)

Greg Drummond’s beginnings as a songwriter are not with the grandeur that

many musicians claim to have started with—they are humble and they are honest. Growing terrified with the concept of his monotonous corporate lifestyle, he saved up enough money to live off of for a year and quit his sales job to

pursue his passion—a career in music. It was not the perceived glamour of a rock-star’s life that called him to the profession; it was the struggle to earn his living through his art form.

The best way to truly understand his sound is by

experiencing one of his shows for yourself. Greg has been consistently filling up small 150–200-seat theatres. The band he has built around him is made up of professionally trained musicians with degrees in music theory—these four core members of the group are incredibly important to Greg’s ongoing story as a professional musician. The knowledge they have of their instruments provides additional insight to Greg’s songwriting and lends to creating a full-bodied and deeply comprehensive soundscape.

Following an impromptu submission to 104.3 The Shore FM’s BEST of BC Contest, Greg and his band yielded the top prize of $10,000 and solid radio play. Within the next couple months, the same song landed a spot on multiple shortlists, including the nationally recognized CBC Searchlight Contest. In May of 2013, Greg and his band were selected to be part of the Top 20 bands to participate in 102.7 The Peak FM’s Peak Performance Project.

The Tourist Company’s music boasts infectious harmonies, intricate slower melodies and clap-along beats.

Groups claim port was biased, ignored climate changeJeff NagelBlack Press

Opponents of a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River are going to Federal Court to challenge its approval by Port Metro Vancouver.

Lawyers for Ecojustice, on behalf of other groups and activists, argue the port authority was wrong to decide the project would have no significant adverse effect on the environment.

The port didn’t take into account the end use impact on climate change.

The notice of application for the lawsuit argues the burning in Asia of the four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal that the project will ship each year will be equivalent to one per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.

It also alleges port officials were unfair and biased in handling concerns about environmental and health impacts, in part because they collaborated closely with Fraser Surrey Docks on public messaging and monitoring opposition.

The claim also alleges port executives will personally benefit from giving the green light because their compensation is tied to the port’s revenue.

The case has been filed on behalf of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, the group Communities and Coal, its founder Paula Williams and Surrey resident Christine Dujmovich, who lives adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks.

The project will see an extra train a day of thermal coal from the U.S. roll through White Rock to Fraser Surrey Docks. From there it will be barged to Texada Island for reloading to larger ships.

“Local communities will be burdened with the immediate health risks of increased coal transport and then saddled with the impacts

of climate change, which are already appearing,” Williams said.

“We’re getting hit with a double whammy so that coal companies and the port can make a quick buck.”

The port authority did not respond to requests for comment.

Another court clash is coming in B.C. Supreme

Court, where Fraser Surrey Docks is challenging Metro Vancouver’s authority over air quality on federal port lands.

It has said it will also seek an air emissions permit from the regional district on a voluntary basis, but expects project construction to begin before Metro staff can assess the application.

The $15-million coal facility is to be operational in the fall of 2015.

Court challenge aims to block new coal terminal

Kathryn Harrison of Voters Taking Acttion on Climate Change, Ecojustice staff lawyer Karen Campbell and Communities and Coal co-founder Paula Williams are challenging the approval of the Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal in Federal Court.
