Anti-Olympic rioters who smashed windows in downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Games have mostly walked out of B.C. courts without so much as a slap on the wrist.

Only a handful of the violent protesters were charged 16 months ago and even the accused ringleader has since escaped court-imposed punishment. Guillaume Joseph-Marc Beaulieu, 27, was charged with mischief over $5,000 for allegedly inciting vandalism and leading black-clad anarchists in a destructive spree through downtown Vancouver Feb. 13. Protesters used newspaper boxes as battering rams, spray-painted vehicles and clashed with police.

But Crown counsel spokesman Neil McKenzie said the mischief charge against Beaulieu was stayed by prosecutors Jan. 5 after they decided there was little chance of conviction.

“Although he apparently participated in the march, there was not any evidence he was per-sonally involved in any violence or vandalism,” McKenzie said Tuesday.

Nobody else was ever charged with actual vandalism from the incident, McKenzie said, adding most of the vandals who broke windows were masked and unidentifi able. Other charges mainly stemmed from clashes with police.

The court outcomes may be far different with the rioters and looters charged in last week’s Stanley Cup hockey riot. Police have many more images of rioters with their faces unmasked, McKenzie said. Even so, he cautioned, photos and video may not amount to suffi cient evidence by themselves for conviction and will have to be weighed carefully by fi rst police and then Crown.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster Hyacks B defender Tommy Robertson arrives too late to prevent a Rick Hansen receiver from catching the ball in their game at the Big Kahuna 7 on 7 Challenge, Saturday at Mercer Stadium. The Hyacks fi nished sixth in the 10-team touch football tournament, which was won by Lord Tweedsmuir.

Since opening their WLA season with a tie and a loss, the New Westminster Salmonbellies have won fi ve straight times to stake a claim of fi rst place in league standings. They share the top rung with the Victoria Shamrocks, but have played one less game.

Saturday, the Salmonbellies scored three unanswered goals in the third period to run away from the Coquitlam Adanacs 7-2.

After taking a 3-1 lead into the second period, New West strug-gled in the second period, conced-ing 17 shots to the Adanacs while fi ring only 11 on Coquitlam keeper Brandon Atherton. But Tyler Richards was their equal for all

but one, when Robbie Campbell beat him nearly six minutes into the frame. Cliff Smith matched that for the Salmonbellies less than two minutes later with a power play goal with Coquitlam two men short.

Smith’s third and fourth goals of the game, 1:06 apart midway through the third, broke the game open. Ilija Gajic’s second of the game put an exclamation on the fi nal score.

Smith added two assists to his four goals to lead the Salmonbel-lies, while Jeff Zywicki fi nished the night with a goal and fi ve assists. Gajic had a four-point night.

The win came on the heels of

another close call, a 10-7 win over the Nanaimo Timbermen Thurs-day at Queen’s Park Arena.

The Salmonbellies built a 6-0 cushion in the fi rst period and needed much of it after Nanaimo outscored the home team 5-2 in the second. The teams each scored twice in the third.

Again, New West was outshot, 52-42, in the rough-and-tumble affair in which the Salmonbellies spent 43 minutes in the penalty box on 17 infractions and the Tim-bermen were whistled 15 times for 39 minutes.

Kevin Crowley led the Salmon-bellies’ attack with two goals and three assists. Gajic and Jordan McBride also scored twice.

Want to join one of Vancouver’s fun and funky neighbourhoods?

Developer Concord Pacifi c may have created the perfect place in Uptown. Located at East 12th and Kingsway, Uptown drops you right in the middle of the hip South Main area.

Grant Murray, vice-president of sales with Concord Pacifi c, says South Main has been upgraded in a big way over the past few years. Th e area has seen lots of businesses move in aft er they left the nearby Cambie corridor during construction of the Canada Line, adding a combination of practical amenities and hipster fl avour.

“Main has gone a long way in upgrading itself,” he says.

Uptown is a 10-fl oor, 102-unit building, featuring a variety of diff erent apartment suites. Layouts range from one- or two-bedrooms with added dens or fl ex rooms. Suite sizes run from 560 to 955 square feet, not including balconies, and ceilings in most units are 8-foot-8.

Murray says suites at Uptown

average $545 per square foot – a far cry from the $700-$800 range typically found right downtown.

“It’s really great to have more room for the same buck,” he says.

Murray added that the units, what he describes as “really sensible, good-sized suites,” act as a great investment for prospective landlords because tenants tend to stay longer in larger apartments.

Uptown is certainly not hurting for amazing features. Outside, residents will fi nd stunning views – especially looking downtown and toward the North Shore mountains. Every suite includes an open balcony or deck.

Murray says homes on fl oors six to 10 have particularly spectacular views, but residents on lower fl oors can still get a chance to enjoy the sunset by venturing up to the building’s green

rooft op terrace.Th e rooft op terrace is just one of

several amenity areas in the building. Th e others include a gym on the ground fl oor as well as a kitchenette/meeting room on the second fl oor with a nearby play area for the kids. Another play area is available on the 10th fl oor.

Meanwhile inside, kitchens feature high-gloss laminate cabinetry and

under-cabinet lighting. Laminate wood-look fl ooring is standard throughout the main living areas for a modern touch, and ensuite bathrooms include a textured tile tub and shower surround with elegant glass tile accents.

Homes at Uptown start at around $269,000.

Kitchens at Uptown include quartz-stone countertops and a mosaic tile backsplash (top), among several other amazing features.

Housing starts forecast to increase. CMHC foresees rising luxury homes sales as well.

Housing starts will increase in British Columbia this year and next, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing Market Outlook report.

Th e CMHC says that housing starts, including single-detached and multiple-family homes, are projected to total 26,400 units in 2011 and 29,000 in 2012.

“Th e housing market outlook is similar to CMHC’s fi rst quarter forecast, except for adjustments to the existing home price outlook,” says CMHC’s B.C. Regional Economist Carol Frketich. “Mortgage loan interest rates, which will remain low by historic standards, together with stable employment and strong population growth, will support the resale and new home markets in 2011 and 2012.”

“An increase in higher-end detached home sales in the fi rst quarter in some areas of Greater Vancouver will push the average MLS price up 14 per cent in 2011, to $770,000,” says Robyn Adamache, Senior Market Analyst for Vancouver with the CMHC.

According to a release from the CMHC, price increases recorded in Vancouver, Richmond and West Vancouver are higher than anticipated, and this will continue to contribute to higher prices and greater demand for high-end homes in those areas.

“Greater Vancouver accounts for almost half of MLS sales in the province, and a rising share of single detached home sales, which tend to have higher prices, as well as an increasing proportion of sales in higher priced areas of Greater Vancouver,” says Frketich.

Suites at Uptown average $545 per square foot, a far cry from what is typically

found downtown. “It’s really great to have more room for the same buck,” says Concord Pacifi c’s Vice-President of Sales Grant Murray.
