JACOB ZINN/NEWSLEADERVictoria Day was kicked off with a bang on Monday, May 18 at Queens Park Stadium with a salute fired to the memory of Queen Victoria and to Queen Elizabeth II by using anvils and gunpowder. The salute of 21 shots was fired by the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery, a local group who have fired these traditional salutes since the late 1800s here in the Royal City. See more photos on page A6 and at www.newwestnewsleader.com.
NWPD officer shaken up after attempted shootingVehicle found, suspects still at-largeJacob ZinnContributing Writer
The officer who stared down the barrel of a gun in an attempted police shooting Monday is rattled, according to the New Westminster Police Department (NWPD).
In response, the department has critical incident stress management teams to provide therapy and support to officers after traumatic situations, such as what unfolded in the 100 block of Royal Avenue Monday.
“As police officers, we go through extensive training throughout every calendar year and throughout our initial training to prepare for things like this,” said NWPD spokesman Sgt. Chad Johnston. “But when it actually happens, it would throw anybody for a loop — it would be a harrowing experience, for sure, to have that happen.”
Around 10 a.m. Monday, patrol officers responded to a report of a man and woman sleeping in a white four-door Buick Lacrosse near the corner of Royal Avenue and First Street. As police spoke with the duo, the man, sitting in the
driver’s seat, pointed a gun at one of the officers and pulled the trigger.
The gun, however, failed to fire and the pair sped off, with police in pursuit.
Johnston said it’s unclear if the gun misfired or if it wasn’t loaded.
“Whether it was a flaw in the mechanics of the gun, I really don’t know,” he said. “We consider ourselves and our members very, very lucky.”
While the suspects escaped, the vehicle was located unoccupied about 14 km away in the driveway of a home in southeast Vancouver later that night, not far from where it was last spotted at Southeast Marine Drive and Inverness Street.
“The person that resides there was actually out for the day and got home, didn’t recognize the car and called police,” said Johnston. “We actually have the vehicle now — our forensics team has it, so they’ll be processing it from a forensics standpoint.”
Johnston said the vehicle is damaged, as it was involved in a few hit-and-runs as the suspects fled police, but he said he didn’t know the extent of the damage. He also said police don’t know what direction the suspects were headed from there.

FRONT STREET PARKADE REHABILITATIONRehabilitation work on the eastern portion of the Front Street Parkade is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 25, 2015.
During the rehabilitation phase, the eastern portion of the parkade will be closed to all vehicles. Parking will be restricted to the western portion of the parkade with access via the Sixth Street entrance and McKenzie Street exit. Rehabilitation work has been scheduled to take place prior to deconstruction to ensure that a supply of parking remains throughout the construction period. Pedestrian access to the Fourth Street Overpass will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
The contract is scheduled to be approximately ten months in duration, barring unforeseen circumstances. In accordance with the contract tender requirements, pedestrian access on Front Street will be maintained at all times for the duration of the project and businesses along Front Street will remain open. Front Street and the existing frontage road will be closed to traffi c in the latter stages of the project when the western portion of the parkade is deconstructed. The City of New Westminster will work closely with the contractor to ensure that every eff ort is made to reduce construction noise, dust and vibrations by following construction best practices and techniques, adhering to City bylaws, and scheduling disruptive tasks during appropriate times.
Regular project updates and notifi cations will be provided through the City of New Westminster website, Citypage and Citypage Online, advertising in local newspapers, social media including Facebook and Twitter, and street signage.

Whatever happened to some of New Westminster’s streams? Mike McPhee wants to find out.
The Douglas College geography instructor is heading a project by the post-secondary institute, in collaboration with the City of New Westminster, to map out “lost streams” – waterways that have vanished under urban development in the city.
“I was aware of other municipalities that had done this sort of thing, so I approached the city and they were really keen,” said McPhee. “I had this idea for a while and I just thought it was a great opportunity to get some students involved to give them some experiential learning.”
The project is in its early stages, and McPhee said he hopes to make it “student-focused,” giving geography students an opportunity to get out of the classroom. He currently has two students doing preliminary work, and they’ve already made some discoveries.
“I had a student do his term project on this last semester, and just through some preliminary, basic archival work, he found some old maps that showed maybe three or four ravines just in the downtown area,” he said.
“When you think about the hillside, probably
waterways came down. At this point, we don’t know whether they were running all year or just intermittent.”
While McPhee doesn’t expect a staggering number of waterways to have been paved over, he said a lot of geographical information can be derived from even just a few streams.
“If we can find some old survey maps that had the streams located on them, we can trace them back to the headwaters,” he said. “Some of them may have started in Burnaby and flowed through into New Westminster.”
McPhee said he and his students aim to comb
through local archives — such as records at the New Westminster Public Library and the provincial archives in Victoria — as part of the project’s first phase.
The second phase will involve making a map, interactive website or historical atlas to showcase their findings, and McPhee said he’d like to create public displays in the city where the streams used to be.
“We’ve been thinking about maybe a public art project of some kind to mark where some of these streams were,” he said. “There’s all kinds of possibilities.”
At this point, McPhee said the project is simply to document the lost streams, not repair them, but he
didn’t rule out restoration as a future phase.
“There’s so many things that can go into restoring streams that it’s hard to say. Most of them are probably pretty steep, so that might be difficult to do, but never say never.”
McPhee is currently seeking funding to hire one or two students to conduct further research, and he’s always looking for information about lost waterways.
Anyone with historical maps or other documents showing off streams that have disappeared can email him at mcpheem@douglascollege.ca.
“It’ll be interesting to see what we can uncover,” he said.

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7756, 2015
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the City of New Westminster’s Zoning Bylaw, the defi nition of a Commercial School contains a number of uses that are out of step with the curriculum currently being taught at a Commercial School. Staff propose to clarify the defi nition in order to provide a more inclusive defi nition of the uses permitted and allow more effi cient processing of business licence applications. It is not proposed to make any changes to the defi nition of a Self-Improvement School.
WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7756, 2015 ABOUT?In Section 120.44 the Zoning Bylaw currently defi nes a Commercial School as:
120.44 COMMERCIAL SCHOOL means the use of a building, or portion of a building, for the training and or instruction of students in business skills, including secretarial, accounting and bookkeeping, sales and marketing, computer programming, small business machine operating, language instruction, and similar offi ce and commercial use functions. Commercial School also includes Self-Improvement School.
The proposed amendment would change the defi nition of a commercial school and would allow staff to process business licence applications appropriate to this land use. The proposed new section would read:
120.44 COMMERCIAL SCHOOL means the use of a building, or portion of a building, for the training and or instruction of students in business skills, and similar offi ce and business use functions; and a post-secondary institute off ering only programs, and certifi cates, diplomas, degrees or other qualifi cations in health care sciences professions or practices and health care administration, and health care research and development, and includes without limitation, medicine, dentistry, nursing, dental assistants, physiotherapy, health consulting, dental technology, and medical technology. A Commercial School also includes Self-Improvement School.

One man’s bruised apple is Danison Buan’s opportunity.
To provide nutritious food to those who could really use it. To help people and businesses give back to their community.
Since entering the restaurant industry eight years ago, Buan has seen a lot of perfectly good food go to landfills. Fruit and vegetables discarded by grocery stores because they were bruised or misshapen and didn’t make a pleasing display in the produce section. Other products pitched because they were nudging up against their Best Before date.
In the industry, that’s called “excess food.” To Buan, that’s a waste.
So the owner of Golphi’s restaurant on 12th Street recently applied for, and was awarded, one of three ONE prizes offered by Donald’s Market and the River Market to fund worthy community-building projects.
Buan will use the $2,000 in prize money to launch
Refood to steer excess food away from the disposal bins to local groups serving seniors and families in need, or inner city schools, via his own restaurant’s commercial kitchen.
That’s where Buan will collaborate with other local chefs to concoct simple recipes to turn bruised or ripening produce into safe, delicious fare like smoothies that can be frozen and easily stored.
High school students will be enlisted to help collect the raw ingredients from participating grocery stores and markets, and then distribute the resulting dishes to social service agencies.
Buan said recent changes to municipal bylaws to divert organic waste from landfills into composting programs is causing many grocery stores and markets to rethink how they deal with excess food.
“Grocery stores’ compost bills are rising because of new laws,” said Buan. “By reducing the amount of food that is collected for compost, it reduces their cost.”
It also makes them more socially responsible.
“The food is going to a good use,” said Buan.
To learn more about the Refood program, go to www.refood.ca.
Refood aims to reduce food waste
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster restaurateur Danison Buan is launching Refood, a program to collect excess food from local grocery stores and markets, and turn it into healthy fare like smoothies that can be distributed to people in need through social service agencies.

For those who haven’t voted in our Lower Mainland transit referendum yet, please consider the experience of the Seattle region where successful tax rebellions, similar to the ‘no’ campaign up here, have held sway.
Sound Transit was created in 1996 with a mandate to provide a comprehensive transit system for the Puget Sound region including light rapid transit (LRT). The board of directors is composed of the State Secretary of Transportation (appointed by the Governor), and 17 elected municipal and county officials, the type of elected oversight advanced by critics of Translink. The initial line was to run from SeaTac to Northgate. A detailed plan was developed, broad consultation was held, and the SeaTac-to-Northgate line could easily have been in operation by now.
These plans, however, were derailed by various tax rebellions. As a result, Sound Transit’s LRT currently runs from downtown Seattle to SeaTac (13 stations, 25.1 km). An extension to the University District (2 stations, 5.6 km) is expected next year, with a proposed extension to Northgate by 2021.
In contrast, Trans Link, created three years after Sound Transit, has put both the Millennium Line (13 stations, 16 km) and the Canada Line (16 stations 19.2 km) into operation, for a total of 29 stations and 35.2 km of track. Thus, Sound Transit, with its board of elected officials, has provided 16 fewer stations and 10 fewer km of track than Translink’s appointed board. This discrepancy increases next year when the Evergreen line (seven stations, 11 km of track) is scheduled to start operations.
I urge those who still haven’t voted in the transit referendum to vote ‘yes.’

Opposed to any coal loading on the Fraser
My home is located across the river from
Surrey Fraser Docks and the location that has been proposed as a loading facility for USA coal.
I have watched for years the loading of grain products that have resulted in air pollution that migrates up, down and across the Fraser River.
Many residents living at the Quayside community in New Westminster already battle dirt, grime, diesel particulates and dust as a result of air pollution. This community is also subjected to the 24/7 sound of scrap metal loading from across the river. It’s hard to imagine the noise impact of coal being loaded into container ships 24/7 as well as the sound of rail cars unloading for transfer.
I am opposed to any coal loading on the Fraser River for many reasons along with those mentioned above. The proposal to load container ships instead of barges makes the problems associated with coal delivery, loading, travelling the Fraser and the return of coal trains to the USA no less challenging for the Lower Mainland and its residents. Having the barges as a backup to container ships is also not acceptable and has never been acceptable. The public process to date has been flawed and the approval by Port Metro Vancouver is currently under scrutiny.
In light of this proposal, a full and complete “public” study should be required from environmental impacts to health concerns. Further, a study on noise pollution from unloading and loading coal needs to be undertaken as it impacts sound travel and loading times in the evening hours. These studies should also include air quality impacts and cross contamination caused by migrant coal dust as it is being loaded onto ships or barges at the Fraser Surrey Docks.

We are friendlyNew Westminster citizens
are talking about the statement from a reader of this newspaper declaring us as less than happy and less than friendly. [May 7, 2015]
Perhaps that view is about perception and choice? Keep walking to the west side of our town where it is very open and sunny, much like the inhabitants.
Those who have ear buds in their ears are unlikely to say ‘Hello’ because their happiness is concentrated on listening to music. However, many others are walking to the bus, home from school, to the mailbox or giving their dog some exercise. People will say ‘Hello’ if you initiate.
A resident who lives one block from me who has a pretty garden and home met me for the first time last week. She was thinning hostas from her garden and asked if I would like some. They were ready to go and I was grateful.
I canvas shop owners to post bulletins about fundraisers. To them I am a stranger yet they are receptive and allow our poster to be displayed.
We helped new neighbours search for their lost cat. We sensed their stress, dropped everything and earnestly helped them look. They know very few people and were so grateful for our support they gave us a gift certificate to thank us. And the cat was found!
I make a point of greeting people who appear to be immigrants as I want them to feel as welcome to Canada as my immigrant father was. Verbal language is limited between us yet there is warmth in a friendly smile.
Robert Louis Stevenson said, “There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.”
All of us can embrace this way of being. As last week’s writer, Barb McDonald encourages: “If you are out and about, and pass someone on the sidewalk, maybe smile and say, ‘Hello.’”

Rehabilitation work on the eastern portion of the Front Street parkade is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 25.
The City of New Westminster has awarded the project contract to Deramore Construction Services Inc. following an invitation to tender for the demolition of the western portion of the parkade and the rehabilitation of the remaining eastern portion.
“I am glad to see that work is now beginning on what has been a long-discussed endeavour by the City of New Westminster,” said Mayor Jonathan Coté. “Our vision to improve access and connectivity to the waterfront, esplanade and Westminster Pier Park, along with delivering enhancements to create an overall improved experience in the area is now finally being realized. The work on the Front Street Parkade is an important first step in achieving this goal.”
Starting on May 25, the eastern portion of the parkade will be closed to all vehicles. Parking will be restricted to the western portion of the parkade with access via the Sixth Street entrance and McKenzie Street exit. Rehabilitation work has been scheduled to take place prior to deconstruction to ensure that a supply of parking remains throughout the construction period. Pedestrian access to the Fourth Street Overpass will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
The contract is scheduled to be approximately 10 months in duration, barring unforeseen circumstances. In accordance with the contract tender requirements, pedestrian access on Front Street will be maintained at all times for the duration of the project and businesses along Front Street will
remain open. Front Street and the
existing frontage road will be closed to traffic in the latter stages of the project when the western portion of the parkade is deconstructed. The City of New Westminster will work closely with the contractor to ensure that every effort is made to reduce construction noise, dust and vibrations by following construction best practices and techniques, adhering to city bylaws, and scheduling disruptive tasks during appropriate times.
“The City of New Westminster recently endorsed a Good Neighbour Protocol, which outlines policies and best practices for minimizing disruptions to surrounding businesses and residents during city-led construction projects,” added Blair Fryer, communications and economic development manager for the City of New Westminster.

Jacob ZinnContributing Writer
They’re Canadian filmmakers, in a Canadian film competition, making a film about an American folk hero.
Needless to say, Andrew de Villiers gets a lot of questions as to why his New Westminster team is making its adventure film about 19th century frontiersman Davy Crockett, rather than a Canadian icon.
“Davy Crockett just seemed right,” said The Legend of Davy Crockett director. “Nobody was doing it, nobody was that interested in it, but I could see the potential in it.”
The team is in the top 15 of CineCoup, a contest that issues “missions” to independent Canadian directors, writers, producers and actors, challenging them as they put together movies in hopes of winning $1 million in production financing and a release in Cineplex theatres.
Inspired by a storybook from his childhood that portrayed Crockett in a Herculean light, de Villiers said he sought to reinvent the character in a gritty and more adventurous way instead of shooting a more toned down, biographical retelling of his life.
“I had some success sort of rebranding a forgotten character before,” he said, referencing his mock trailer for Riverdale: The Archie Movie, which put a dramatic, but funny spin on the redheaded comic book personality.
“It was satire — not everybody got it. We wanted to make fun of what Hollywood was doing with these properties, but at the same time, there’s a reason why Hollywood does what it does with these properties.”
Without realizing it, de Villiers and his crew had renewed interest in Archie as the trailer went viral. Now he feels he can do the same with the ‘King of the Wild Frontier’ — with the help of CineCoup.
“We had heard about CineCoup and I had been quite impressed by what they’d done with (last year’s winning film) Wolfcop,” said de Villiers. “I thought, that’s what I want for my Davy Crockett movie.”
The contest kicked off in February, but the team had already finished its trailer (the first mission) before then, with Supernatural’s Ty Olsson and Erica Carroll starring as Crockett and his wife Elizabeth Patton. In the following weeks, they’ve
had to design a poster and concept art, put together a scene without dialogue and recut the trailer to portray the film under a different genre.
“It’s like an extended pitch — it’s an opportunity to keep showing and hopefully change some minds and win some people over,” said de Villiers. “I think that some people at CineCoup really like that kind of campy horror thing, and with Crockett, we’re in a different genre than most of the other films.
“We have to show that we’re relevant and that there’s an audience to that kind of adventure movie still.”
The polls are currently open for fans to vote on their favourite films, with the top five being announced on May 25. Those selected will be
flown to the Banff World Media Festival to pitch their project to four industry professionals and one committed fan, with only one team receiving the seven-figure prize.
“A lot of people sort of think that we already have the money — we don’t,” said de Villiers with a chuckle. “We’re very resourceful. We’re just in the competition like everybody else.
“This is a Canadian competition for Canadian audiences, and so we have to show that he’s a character that Canadians would be interested in. I think there’s a definite market there — we just have to prove it.”

Lower Mainland municipalities are collectively demanding authority to regulate medical marijuana
dispensaries even though Vancouver is the only city so far actively trying to exert control.
A resolution seeking acceptance of municipal authority passed a vote of
the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) last week, with Surrey delegates opposed.
Pot storefronts have sprung up in several cities, but have mostly
been beaten back, except in Vancouver, where city council is trying to regulate rather than stamp out the more than 80 local dispensaries.
Surrey Coun. Bruce
Hayne, who sits on the LMLGA executive, said medical pot dispensaries are a non-issue in his city.
“We don’t have any dispensaries in Surrey and we’re not looking at licensing any at all,” Hayne said. “If they do spring up they are illegal and we have the recourse to shut them down from there.”
He said municipalities have been frustrated with the federal government’s medical marijuana policy, from the previous system that allowed problematic home grows to the new mail-order-only model of commercial producers that “seemed like a reasonable solution” but is now mired in court challenges.
Surrey is policed by the RCMP, but the story is similar across the river in New Westminster, where its municipal police force has also taken a no-tolerance stand.
New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said one dispensary tried to open —initially calling itself an information centre as it sought to clear various hurdles — but police raided it and the operators were charged with trafficking.
Vancouver’s policy aims to regulate locations and set a $30,000 licensing fee.
Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose has urged the city to shift course and shut down dispensaries, warning they send a signal to youth that drug use is normal.
Puchmayr said he supports municipalities having the power to control dispensaries even though his city didn’t consider that viable.
“Our legal opinion in New Westminster was that it was quite clearly not a permissible use,” he said. “Vancouver’s obviously interpreting it differently. And in doing so they’ve seen this proliferation in medical marijuana dispensaries and therefore they’re asking for some regulatory help from senior levels of government.”
Housing, mental health at forefront
Problems related to homelessness, housing affordability and mental health inspired several resolutions from councils
in Maple Ridge, Langley, Delta and the Fraser Valley Regional District.
Resolutions approved by LMLGA delegates included calls for higher rent subsidies for people on income assistance, more housing aid for mentally challenged adults, and that the federal government re-introduce tax incentives to build rental housing.
Puchmayr and Hayne both said cities are facing higher costs as police time is spent dealing with the mentally ill, who aren’t getting the support they need from the health system.
“We’re getting crushed and we simply can’t do it alone,” Hayne said.
“We need a national strategy on homelessness, particularly on housing, and we need the provincial government to step up in a big way on mental health and addictions.”
Another resolution that passed in a close vote was Richmond’s call for B.C. to enact an environmental bill of rights giving each resident a right to a healthy environment, clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.
Hayne and many other delegates who opposed it felt it was outside municipal jurisdiction.
Many of the resolutions go on to the provincial civic leaders’ forum – the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in the fall – in search of province-wide endorsement.
Resolution roundup
Among the resolutions passed at LMLGA:
- A New Westminster call for B.C.’s now-frozen carbon tax to start increasing again in 2018 by $50 per tonne each year, equivalent to about one cent a litre.

Shaking up the pickup truck world
Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV
Ford is entering a brave new world with its extensive use of aluminum in its brand new F150.It remains to be seen how many of its competitors will leap on the aluminum bandwagon but one thing for sure is this move will shake up the light-duty truck world.
Looks:The all-new trucks features smooth body lines with oversized fender flares, while sleek headlights form part of the large oversized grille, with a blended in-front bumper. These features truly stand out when you see this new F150 driving down the road and clearly differentiate it from its rivals. It’s very similar to the Atlas concept vehicle that was first shown a couple years ago, though it has been toned down a little in this latest version of the best-selling pickup in Canada.The all-new body features military grade, aluminum alloy sitting on a high-strength steel frame. The intent here is to create less overall weight without sacrificing strength. However, it’s a bold move that may come back to haunt Ford. Real world driving of this vehicle will produce all kinds of scenarios. What happens when you need to fix the body panels, does the cost escalate to the point it is easier to write it off rather than repair? How will it hold up against constant towing or off-road use? Time will tell but you have to figure Ford has done some homework before unleash-ing the beast.
In The Cab:It’s a spacious cab with a little more door width than the last version. You’ve got to like the 10-position adjustable driver’s seat, which is heated and ventilat-
ed. You won’t want to get out once you have arrived at the work site!The Supercab and Supercrew models offer a fully flat floor providing ample cargo space. The beltline of the doors has been lowered a little and the front pillars are moved forward giving exceptional visibility. An available 8-inch LCD productivity screen on the instru-ment cluster can be set up to provide information tailored to your needs. Fuel consumption, towing and off-road applications offer precise information while driving. There is an optional 400-watt power inverter to power your 110v items and, surely, that will become one hot option because of today’s workplace
demands. Overall, I was impressed with the cab: very comfortable, good visibility and easy access to all the dash functions. The panoramic roof option gives the truck a different feeling driving down the road. When the sun is shining the natural light warms the cab, it almost gives you the feeling you’re driving a convertible. I said almost.Safety first:Standard are front airbags with front driver and pas-senger seat mounted side airbags, safety canopy side curtain airbags.Roadworthy:My tester for the week was a SuperCrew short box ver-sion – although that sounds like an average size truck, it is not. The length of this vehicle is 6190 mm and parking in a small lot can be challenging. Backing in is your safest bet and with the use of the backup camera you are sure to get every inch of space available. Steering is incredibly responsive and the ride is firm yet comfortable. Immediate power when you need it and
plenty available to get this truck up to highway speed. I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction.
Verdict:I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.
Power:Four engine choices here: 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft torque, 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 with 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque and a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 with 385 horsepower and 387 lb-ft.

Production company creates an immersive environment onstageChristine Lyonclyon@nsnews.com
People often close their eyes when they hear a song they like, but that doesn’t mean they don’t see anything.
“Whenever you listen to music, you can usually visualize something. A song may remind you of a moment in time,” explains music industry veteran Simon Edwards. “Even when you close your eyes, you still probably create a picture or remember an image of something.”
Today, Edwards makes a living translating the mind’s eye into visual reality. He and Deep Cove resident LeeAnne Evans founded an animation and stage production company called Visual Artform 18 months ago in North Vancouver, though they recently relocated their studio to New Westminster.
“In basic terms, what we do is we design audio-visual shows for a range of events,” Edwards explains.
He recently returned from Indio, Calif. where his company produced two shows for Norwegian DJ Kygo at the annual Coachella music and arts festival. In addition to
live music performances, the company also does visual design for corporate functions, fashion shows — basically any event that calls for an audio-visual element.
Edwards has been in the music industry for 20 years. He has worked as a music producer in the U.K. and a resident DJ in Ibiza, Spain — a party mecca for fans of electronic dance music. As a DJ, he started producing the visual accompaniment for his own shows and was spotted by Taboo of hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas. “They saw what I was doing and they said, ‘Look, we think it’s amazing and we want to bring you on tour.’”
So, on tour he went, for quite a few years, before eventually deciding to strike out on his own and start a business that could service more clients.
To date, Visual Artform has worked with the likes of Dutch EDM project Dash Berlin, American rock duo The Black Keys and British singer Estelle. Busy preparing for the summer festival circuit, the team has shows scheduled at the Paradiso Festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State, the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas and B.C.’s Shambhala. When it comes to creating an “immersive environment” for live performances,
Edwards says the first step is to understand the music before diving into the graphics and animation.
“There’s many people doing visuals at music concerts, but the visuals don’t really connect with the music or the songs,” Edwards says. “We really research the songs and the vibe. We listen to the lyrics and we really connect the visuals in a different way.”
That often means working closely with the artists to gain a better insight into the mood of each song.
Visual Artform does a lot of “projection mapping,” which involves the use of large-scale projectors to cast images and video onto buildings
and surfaces. They also employ video jockeys (veejays) to perform live visual shows “on the fly” to accompany music.
“It’s quite an intricate thing doing a live visual show. It’s not like just putting a DVD player on and pressing play,” Edwards says. “It’s quite intense to make sure you get it right and there’s obviously a lot of pressure that comes with that.”
A few years ago, Edwards estimates it would have cost an artist upwards of $100,000 to use a giant LED screen as a stage backdrop. Today, he says, it’s no more than $15,000. The drop in the price of technology has led many performers to ditch stage props, which can be cumbersome to move, in favour of graphics and animation.
“We can do literally insane things with the animations. It’s such an eye-catching thing,” Edwards said. “That visual element not only enhances the show, but also the opportunity to film and post on social media, so it’s becoming a huge marketing tool.”
Marketing aside, Edwards says his core mission is to capture the essence of a piece of music and tell a story. “We actually bring the music to life through visuals,” he said.
PHOTO SUPPLIED OLAV STUBBERUDVisual Artform produced Norwegian DJ Kygo’s two sets at Coachella earlier this month.
Visual Artform builds on live experienceYou climb into a boat
and the guide asks if you want to see sea lions along the beach, or hike into the rainforest highland to a group of waterfalls.
Turn to look behind you and see two more people in the boat, the outboard wake behind them. Look up and see trees reaching to the sky and raindrops falling on B.C.’s Central Coast near Nimmo Bay. A floating wilderness lodge with Adirondack chairs and a crackling firepit await your return.
The Wild Within, a virtual reality experience produced by Destination B.C. is the first for North American destination marketing. Its December launch in New York and Washington was covered by 94 media outlets including National Geographic, USA Today, Time, Outside, Lonely Planet, Wall Street Journal, Wired and Ad Week magazine.
The video is experienced with virtual reality goggles and a stereo headset, a system developed by Samsung. It supplements conventional promotional videos, and is being presented at tourism trade shows and travel media events across Canada and in Beijing and Shanghai in June.
To view the video and another showing how it was made, go to www.youtube.com and search for “Destination BC The Wild Within.”

A court dispute between Fraser Surrey Docks and Metro Vancouver over the regional district’s power to regulate air quality could have far-reaching implications beyond a proposed coal export terminal in Surrey.
Fraser Surrey Docks
already has port authority approval to build the coal-handling facility, which would bring U.S. coal by train through White Rock and South Surrey and load it onto ocean-going ships.
Construction hasn’t yet begun and Fraser Surrey Docks hasn’t yet applied to Metro for a required air quality permit.
Instead, it is challenging Metro’s jurisdiction, delegated by the provincial government through the Environmental Management Act, to regulate industrial air emissions, arguing that power has no force on federal port lands.
The case, which goes to trial in provincial court
next month, will see Fraser Surrey Docks contest a $1,000 fine levied against it by Metro in 2013 for the discharge of soybean dust from its grain handling operations.
“The ramifications of a decision in favour of Fraser Surrey Docks would be profound,” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said.
Any new industry – not just the coal terminal – could open on federal lands without obeying Metro regulations to control air pollution, he said.
And Weaver suggested such a ruling might thwart the province’s power to control emissions on any federal lands in B.C., not
just port land within Metro.He said there are many
proposed industrial port developments – from LNG terminals to oil refineries – that could end up on federal port lands and pollute airsheds as far north as Kitimat and Prince Rupert.
Weaver called on the province to take a stand.
“Why is this going to the court and why isn’t the province stepping up and playing a more outspoken role about what they believe the role of Metro Vancouver and their role is?”
Environment Minister Mary Polak was not available for an interview.
An emailed statement from her office said the province has an interest in the case but will wait for the court’s decision before commenting further.
“Sources of air pollution throughout B.C., including on federal lands, must be managed to appropriate levels,” it said.
The coal terminal proposal is the target of separate court challenges filed by project opponents.
Fraser Surrey Docks now intends to directly load the coal onto ships, rather than first to barges that would have to be unloaded to ships at Texada Island.
Metro air pollution authority contested in court
Metro Vancouver residents waste a lot of food and the regional district is launching a new campaign to prod them to do better.
The Love Food Hate Waste campaign, found online at lovefoodhatewaste.ca, mirrors a successful British initiative credited with cutting food waste 21 per cent over five years.
Metro officials hope to achieve similar gains here by offering similar tips and ideas on how to improve how we buy, use and store food to make it last longer and use it more efficiently.
The regional district estimates 100,000 tonnes per year of food, beverage and dairy products are tossed out that should have been used.
Metro estimates the lack of efficient meal planning behind that adds up to $700 worth of food being wasted per household each year.

West Coast Tap Dance Collective hosts Dance Day celebration
On Sunday night, May 24 top tap dancing talent will come together in the West Coast Tap Dance Collective’s (WCTDC) 13th annual celebration of International Tap Dance Day.
This year’s show will honour the career of Canadian born tap dance legend Ruby Keeler. Keeler’s daughters, from across North America, will also be joining to represent their mother.
Feature performances from some of the best dancers in North America include Jim Hibbard (Hello Dolly, Gypsy), Alexandra Clancy, Peggy Giesbrecht, Elysia Matheson, Paula Skimin, Lindsay Sterk, and Aaron Tolson who will be joined by an impressive list of dancers from studios across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Hosting the event will be the charismatic and talented triple threat, Teryl Rothery, best known for her role as Dr. Janet Frasier on Stargate SG-1 and most recently, Hallmark Channel’s Cedar Cove.
Born in Halifax, N.S., Keeler moved to New York at an early age where she lived a life straight out
of a Hollywood script like 42nd Street, the film that catapulted her to fame (see full bio at www.
westcoasttapdance.com). Keeler joins West Coast
Tap’s distinguished list of previous honourees including Peggy Peat, Dr. Jeni LeGon, William Orlowski, Jim Hibbard, Heather Cornell, Len
Gibson, Grace McDonald, Jeff Hyslop, Ethel Bruneau and Blanche and Alan Lund. International Tap Dance Day is May 25, the birth date of the illustrious Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
The show starts at 7 p.m.
at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. Tickets are $25, $19 for WCTDC members (plus service charges), available online at www.masseytheatre.com or through the Massey box office at 604-521-5050.

A new poll of voters in B.C. puts the federal New Democrats six points ahead of the Conservatives as the fall federal election campaign approaches, and 10 points up on the third-place Liberals in B.C.
The new Insights West online poll pegs NDP support at 35 per cent of decided voters, followed by 29 per cent for the Conservatives, 25 per cent for the Liberals and 10 per cent for the Green Party.
That’s a major drop in Tory support since the 2011 federal election, when the governing party took 21 out of 36 B.C. seats with 45.5 per cent of the vote. (The NDP won 12 seats with 32.5 per cent, the Liberals won two seats with 13.4 per cent and the Greens won 7.5 per cent, electing leader Elizabeth May.)
Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said federal Liberals have rebounded in B.C. under leader Justin Trudeau, but added it may not be enough
for them to be competitive in more than a couple of ridings.
“The seat calculation makes this a lot tougher for the Liberals,” he said. “You may be a closer third-place finisher than in the last election, but you’re still a third-place finisher.”
The poll found NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has the strongest approval score, ahead of Trudeau and May.
But more B.C. voters name Stephen Harper as the best choice for prime minister compared to other leaders, except on Vancouver Island, where Mulcair leads.
“The voting numbers point to an erosion of Conservative support among key demographics, particularly voters over the age of 55,” Canseco said.
The race is tight in Metro Vancouver, where the poll found the Conservatives and NDP are tied with 32 per cent support of decided voters, followed by 27 per cent for the Liberals and seven per cent for the Greens.
On Vancouver Island, however, the NDP have a huge lead with 47 per cent support, followed by the Greens at 20 per cent, the Liberals at 19 per cent and the Conservatives at 14.
Elsewhere in B.C., the NDP leads with 36 per cent to 32 per cent for the Conservatives and 22 per cent leaning Liberal.
Poll respondents in Metro Vancouver said the most important issue was the economy and jobs, while slightly more on Vancouver Island and the rest of B.C. instead listed government accountability.
Harper and the Conservatives scored best on their handling of the economy, foreign affairs and crime, Canseco said, but poorly on poverty and homelessness, government accountability, the environment and the handling of energy and pipelines.
The poll surveyed 814 B.C. residents from May 7 to 9, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent.

creativity in young children through the arts and is looking forward to welcoming this one-of- a-kind art show to this venue.

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend
on programs such as health care, education and
other services that benefit all British Columbians.
Plus, we can invest in new training programs and
create new jobs for our youth.

The Hyack Bantam Lacrosse Tournament wrapped up over the weekend, with the New Westminster Salmonbellies taking a tough loss Monday to miss the podium.
While the team pressed hard against the Juan de
Fuca Whalers in the first period, leading 1-0, the Vancouver Island team kept up their offence to tie the game in the second period at Queen’s Park Arena.
The Whalers kept pushing in the third round, netting three goals while
preventing the ‘Bellies from mounting any offence in the last third. The Salmonbellies closed the tournament in fourth.
Juan de Fuca took gold while the Coquitlam Adanacs took silver and the Delta Islanders took bronze.

Junior A ‘Bellies barely beat Saints
The Junior A New Westminster Salmonbellies had one heck of a game against the Port Coquitlam Saints on Friday, May 15.
New Westminster eked out an 11-10
come-from-behind win on the Saints’ home turf.
Both teams exchanged goals for the first eight minutes of play before the Saints’ Tanner Rennich netted two shots of his own back-to-back. Poco closed the first period leading 7-5, with five more shots on goal than the ‘Bellies.
While New West fired more shots in
the second period, only two made it past Saints goalie Giulio Del Bianco, bringing the score to 10-7 for the home team.
But the ‘Bellies bounced back in the third, shutting out all 12 shots on goal by the Saints while firing 18 back at Poco. Connor Robinson, Adam Dickson and Nathan Stewart each scored goals to tie the game, with Brandon Clelland scoring
the tiebreaker with six-and-a-half minutes left.
The Salmonbellies fended off any more offence from the Saints, ending the game victoriously.
The ‘Bellies will be at the Langley Events Centre on Tuesday, May 26, to face the Langley Thunder in Junior A play.

MISSAVI INTEGRATED MARKETING
27.11.14
A26 NewsLeader Thursday, May 21, 2015
When the bigger-is-better mindset is not in your home-buying financial cards, there
are plenty of services to make your small space feel larger. Indeed, many of the companies making these prod-ucts are enjoying a boom thanks to the trend of building smaller, more afford-able condos.
Bosa Properties is one of the groups meeting the challenge head on, having introduced its BosaSPACE concept a year and a half ago at its Alumni Tower development in Surrey’s University District. The idea’s second iteration is currently on display in its RiverSky project in New Westminster.
“We created BosaSPACE because we saw a need in the market,” said Daryl Simpson, Bosa Properties senior vice-president. “We were feeling frustrated with the compression of suite sizes which was a function of the demand for smaller, more affordable homes. We wanted to give people more function-ality so that a 500-squre-foot apart-ment would feel and perform like an 800-square-foot one.”
Space and FunctionBosa worked on the concept for over
a year, meeting with local and Europe-an designers, suppliers and architects. An extendable table can be a modest two-seat counter/desk/prep station or pull out to seat up to eight for dinner. The “SleepTHEATRE” conceals a sofa or guest bed behind the TV. A pan-try system hides a pull-down ironing board and storage along with a wine rack.
“People don’t have to buy as much furniture,” said Simpson. “For younger buyers, that helps with the affordability pressures. We’ve also worked with buy-ers who have the means to spend more but want to consume less.”
The Hide-a-Bed SolutionA standard purchase for anyone try-
ing to maximize space in their home is a Murphy bed, a space-saving solution that’s been used for more than a cen-tury. BC Murphy Wall-Bed Ltd. presi-
people do not require large storage lockers and can find hauling items to and fro difficult. Alluster Storage Valet caters to people looking to store sea-sonal equipment such as clothing, golf clubs, bikes and skis.
“We offer delivery from door to door, so you can store your items without ever leaving your home,” said Rob Buchanan, CEO of Alluster. “Customers track their stored possessions online, a feature which isn’t normally available with other storage businesses. When they want something back, they get it returned with a few clicks.”
Ditch the Parking StallHand in hand with the move to
smaller condo sizes is the trend to build fewer parking stalls in these new developments. That’s opened up oppor-tunities for car-share businesses with BCAA the latest to jump on the wagon. The association launched Evo Car Share in March, joining Modo, Zipcar and Car2Go in offering urbanites part-time access to vehicles.
“We spent two years talking to Vancouverites about transportation,” said Shan Parmar, director of Evo Car Share, “and we heard that people want a car-sharing option that will allow them to get outdoors and live the BC lifestyle and do what they’d normally do with their car. Evo has over 250 cars available within Vancouver; all are four-door hybrids with lots of cargo space along with two bike racks and ski racks.”
Micro-Condo Solutions: Making More Of Lessdent Hung Nguyen has seen demand increase as more small condos come on the market.
“If you’re living in 350 square feet, a Murphy bed is the only option that works,” said Nguyen, who has started building beds that, when upright, have desks, dining tables or sofas that fold down.
Offsite StorageThere are a plethora of storage fa-
cilities in Metro Vancouver, but many
