City to host Pattullo biz forumGrant [email protected]

The City of New Westminster will host a forum and workshop on the proposed replacement of the Pattullo Bridge for local small business owners.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he was surprised by what he heard at a joint Surrey and New West chambers of commerce forum at the Fraser River Discovery Centre last week.

At the session, a spokesman for the Lower Mainland Chamber Transportation Advisory Panel spoke supporting TransLink’s proposal to build a new six-lane bridge to replace the aging four-lane aging structure.

“That really concerns me, because from the small business people I know it doesn’t re ect [their views],” said Puchmayr this week.

So at Monday’s council meeting he made a motion for the city to hold a working session forum with New West business to see how they feel about a six-lane bridge, and the rest of council agreed.

Puchmayr said he spoke to one Surrey chamber member in the trucking business who was shocked to nd out the province is

Learning the child they’re about to bring into the world may have developmental or health problems is a parent’s worst fear.

When tests indicated Sandra and Don Driedger’s second child had a good likelihood of being born with Down Syndrome, they pressed on despite the uncertainty of the future.

Clara is now eight years old, the cards and balloons from her recent birthday still scattered around her family’s New Westminster home. She

attends Herbert Spencer school. She loves television and horsing around on the tire swing in the front yard.

But her future is no less certain.At rst the Driedgers carried on as

the parents of any newborn.“She was just a baby, and we had

to take care of her,” says Don. “If you looked ahead too far, you knew life was going to be different.”

“You really want to live a normal life,” says Sandra. “It’s dif cult to accept at rst.”

But as Clara grew older and her mental and physical challenges

became more apparent, the Driedgers had to acknowledge they’d need help to ensure their daughter would enjoy a happy, independent and ful lling life.

They started to tap into some of the resources their doctors had told them were available for families with a Down Syndrome child, including a speech therapy program at the Down Syndrome Research Foundation in Burnaby.

Very quickly the facility became much more than just a place to help Clara develop her skills, says Sandra.

“Everyone who’s there understands.

We share something, we can talk about the same things.”

“Every parent loves it when others take an interest in your kid, understands and appreciates them,” says Don.

The weekly sessions at the Foundation didn’t just help Clara improve her speech and reading skills, they also helped bring out her determination, made her more con dent.

“She’s in a place where she’s comfortable,” says Don.

not directly connecting the South Fraser Perimeter Road, currently under construction, with the new Port Mann Bridge now being built. Puchmayr is fearful if the connection isn’t made then trucks will continue to use the Pattullo to access Coquitlam and other areas north of the Fraser to avoid using a 15-kilometre detour to get on the Port Mann and then pay a toll on top of that.“Not enough information is getting out there showing the poor alignment,” said Puchmayr.

“She’s developed her own sense of humour. She’s developed into Clara.”

Working with the staff at the foundation has also helped ease some of their own fears, says Don. They’re able to advocate for Clara in the school system and with

doctors. They’ve opened their eyes to Clara’s possibilities rather than her limitations.

“We’ve had to learn that we can’t be responsible for everything,” says Don.

“We’ve had to build a community around Clara.”

Much of that community, including many of her classmates and her teachers at Herbert Spencer, will be among 1,000 people participating in the 16th annual Run Up for Down Syndrome at Simon Fraser University on Sunday.

They’ll be led by Burnaby’s Mike

Santorelli, a center with the Florida Panthers. The run is a family event that includes a 1.5 kilometre walk and a ve km walk/run to raise money for the DSRF.

TransLink puts program on hold after protestors show up at AGMGrant [email protected]

TransLink has put on hold its plan to eliminate the TaxiSaver program after about 200 protestors, including residents of New Westminster’s Thornebridge Gardens seniors complex, voiced their opposition at the transit authority’s annual general meeting in Vancouver Wednesday morning.

In the wake of the complaints, the board decided to take a step back from its decision and consult with stakeholders.

In mid-May, TransLink announced it would stop selling the half-price taxi coupons to HandyCard holders in July, and would no longer honour them as of June 2013. The coupons allowed those eligible for HandyDart to use the coupons when they needed transportation on short notice or for times when HandyDart couldn’t supply the service.

“I thought that’s atrocious,” said Thornebridge resident Betty Newton when she rst read about the news. “I

thought you’re trying to save money off us seniors.”

So Newton began organizing residents to oppose the cutback and got lots of support. TransLink expected to save $1.1 million per year over the next three years through the elimination of TaxiSaver. At the time, TransLink said it would spend $200,000 over the next year on supplementary taxi service, with the rest of the savings being reinvested into HandyDart service.

On Wednesday, Newton, along with fellow resident Alma Bjornson, hopped into a taxi to get to the meeting in Marpole and was one of those able to grab the microphone and let the board know her thoughts.

“They were very taken aback by the amount of people who showed up there in opposition to their program,” said Newton after returning Wednesday afternoon. “They didn’t expect the groundswell

against their decision. They were criticized in several of the presentations with not consulting with users and user groups.”

Newton said Tuesday that many of Thornebridge’s residents rely on the coupons to get to medical appointments, especially when the doctor’s of ce calls to say they have an opening because of a late cancellation.

“Of course the answer is ‘yes,’ [to the medical receptionist] but I don’t have

time to book the HandyDart so I’m going to use the TaxiSaver,” said Newton. “There are a lot of people here that depend on this. People who have spouses in either George Derby [Hospital in Burnaby] or at a hospice that use taxis to go and visit.”

Thornebridge is on Eighth Avenue at Sixth Street, and Newton said while many residents can walk to the Uptown shopping district at Sixth and Sixth, they can’t walk back, especially if they’re laden with shopping bags.

“There’s a lot of people that use these in Thornebridge more than I do,” she said.

Bjornson, who has lived in New Westminster for 40 years, uses the coupons at least once a week.

“I have several eye appointments these days,” said Bjornson. “In the winter months it’s more than worth it ... It’s a very good arrangement, really. You save them for the very rainy days and nights.”

Newton said HandyDart consumer advocacy manager Linda McGowan will speak to Thornebridge residents about the program on Tuesday, June 5 at 2 p.m.

GRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADERAlma Bjornson and Betty Newton were at TransLink’s AGM on Wednesday to voice their concerns about plans to end the TaxiSaver program.

Elizabeth Fry expansion application to go to public hearing June 25Grant [email protected]

City council’s decision to send the Elizabeth Fry Society’s expansion plans to public hearing was attacked by a lone councillor as well as a community leader opposed to the project.

On Monday, council gave rst and second reading to the

society’s application to amend the Of cial Community Plan (OCP) to allow plans for construction of a second building on Sherbrooke Street behind EFry’s current 402 E. Columbia of ces to proceed. A date for public hearing was set for June 25.

Coun. Betty McIntosh cast the only dissenting vote. She said the public hearing process won’t give council and city staff enough time to research all the different issues that have been raised by the lower Sapperton community opposed to the plans.

“There are still lots of questions out there. There were some people coming out with different information that came out before,” said McIntosh. “The community has really done

a thorough research job, the information is very detailed.”

She said since council usually votes on applications right after a public hearing more time should be given for councillors to look at all the issues that have been raised by both sides.

On Monday, council spent two hours listening to many delegations on the proposal and questioned those appearing before them. In the public hearing, said McIntosh, the councillors won’t be able to ask questions.

The decision rankled one of leaders of residents opposed to the project.

“It demonstrated reckless disregard for their constituents,” said Catherine Cartwright, who is organizing a petition opposed to EFry’s plans, in an email to the NewsLeader. “They suggested the issue is so contentious that it should be brought to a public hearing so that everyone can be heard. Never mind that we have been speaking to this since early 2011.”

McIntosh said little support is coming from nearby residents, noting that a binder full of letters backing the proposal contained only two from lower Sapperton.

“The support has come from people living in other supportive

housing,” said McIntosh.Cartwright is concerned

councillors aren’t looking at the decision with an open mind. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr insisted he is doing just that in his evaluation, and he praised the approach both sides took in the discussion Monday.

“It was a diverse crowd. Some of them were the same players, but they were very respectful of each other. As controversial as this is I was very impressed with how respectful everyone was,” said Puchmayr.

He noted neither side jeered, and at one point when an EFry speaker struggled to get her PowerPoint presentation running, an opponent came over and helped out.

Dealing with controversial applications is nothing new to Puchmayr, who recently returned to council following a stint as New Westminster MLA.

“Wal-Mart went to after midnight with speaker after speaker opposed to it. It’s part of the game. Councillors may think it’s one of the more unpleasurable parts of being councillors, but I’d hate to have it any other way as part of the public process. That’s democracy at work at the grassroots level,” said Puchmayr.

Fry plan moving forward

City council has objected to plans to reduce parking for a rental project in Victoria Hill.

The Onni Group has modi ed its plans for 100 units of non-market and 85 market rental housing at 295 Francis Way. One of the requests was to reduce parking stalls to from one per unit to 0.8 per unit and visitor parking from 0.2 to 0.1 per unit.

Although council approved proceeding with Onni’s application to change the Of cial Community Plan and zoning from institutional to allow for the project,

councillors did so despite having misgivings about the parking situation.

“Victoria Hill currently has some severe challenges with parking. Even though we’re being told visitor parking is being underutilized inside the buildings, but [women and seniors are not comfortable with that],” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr in an interview. “To say you’re going to replace outside parking with inside parking, it’s just not going to work ... We need to make sure what we build there from here on in is not adversely affecting that neighbourhood.”

A LOT OF NEGOTIATING

Puchmayr said council did a lot of negotiating on that project for green space,

non-market seniors housing, health care housing and heritage buildings.

“We did what the community wanted at that time,” said Puchmayr. “In hindsight

we might have made too many compromises [during negotiations] on the parking in that site.”

A parking study supplied by Onni said the proposed unit-mix with a high proportion of small-sized units would mean there wouldn’t be as much of a demand for parking. A report to council said the city’s transportation

staff did not support the reduction in visitor parking. The report said the staff “could support the requested reduction in tenant parking if the applicant would con rm in their business plan targeting renters who do not own vehicles; however, the applicant has

not agreed to this concept.”Coun. Betty McIntosh said the housing’s

location is too far from SkyTrain, so most of the tenants are still going to use automobiles.

BUILD COMPREHENSIVELY

“This developer needs to build comprehensively. Don’t tell me just because they need to live in non-market rental doesn’t mean they’re going to walk everywhere,” said McIntosh on Tuesday. “Give me options, just don’t tell me you’re reducing [parking spaces] by 100.”

Onni’s original proposal also called for a six-storey building but that has been reduced to ve, which has received the backing of the city’s design panel and the advisory planning commission.

When we’re at our best, we’re listening.

We’re listening to Surrey, when folks there say they need that six-lane Pattullo Bridge to get to jobs in Burnaby and Coquitlam. We get that they want to drive to Kingsway sometimes, for some nummy Asian food.

We’re listening, too, when Port Vancouver and various boards of trade tell us how important it is that those mountains of containers at Deltaport get on trucks and nd an easy route to market.

We get it. Really.We’ve easily been convinced

that today’s Pattullo Bridge should be scrapped. We know why TransLink wants a new one, and we’ve heard their reasons.

We understand.But is anyone listening to us?Really listening? Yes, TransLink

has held forums to hear New Westminster residents’ input and to their credit, roads manager Sany Zein and other staff have been proactive in getting into the community, sharing information and answering questions.

But is TransLink really hearing

what New Westers, in vast numbers, are saying?

Do Surrey and the Asia-Paci c/ Gateway business boosters hear us? Are they thinking, hmm, you know, you have a point there?

Or are they shaking their heads, asking: What is it with you people? Don’t you want progress? Would you like to see the region grind to a halt? Are you bent on creating your own 1950s-era Mayberry, a fantasyland where cars toodle along, people wave, and nobody works?

Or perhaps they think we’re just protecting home values and gentrify with no consideration for the needs of our neighbours.

Really, we’re just a bunch of NIMBYs.

Well, if you take the term Not In My Back Yard in a literal way,

perhaps we are.The Pattullo has always

deposited its traf c in New West’s backyard, and for many years it served everyone well. The problem is that much has changed in 75 years. When the bridge opened in 1937, Greater Vancouver had 360,000 people, while today it’s 2.3 million with much of that growth in neighbouring municipalities like Surrey, Burnaby and Coquitlam. And yet our “backyard” has remained the same size, with virtually the same road infrastructure. Over the years the trickle of traf c grew incrementally and today it’s a virtual tsunami of vehicles.

And New Westminster is saying, almost with one voice, enough.

Yes we’re the centre of the region, and have a role to play, helping people get from here to there. We’ve always been a bit of an intersection. But there’s a point when an intersection gets so busy it crowds everything else out.

Like livability.Yes, cities like ours need to

make some room for folks to pass through. But 450,000 vehicles a

day—and growing, if a six-lane bridge is approved—is too much.

New Westminster as a place to live should, ultimately, trump New Westminster as a place to transit.

To Surrey, to TransLink, and no doubt to many in the region, replacing the four-lane Pattullo with a new six lane bridge makes obvious sense.

To most people in New West, building a more ef cient way to dump thousands more cars into the heart of our city is crazy.

Is TransLink really listening? Is this truly consultation? Is New Westminster recognized as a key stakeholder?

Then a serious shift in focus should be coming.

The current approach won’t meet New Westminster’s needs. And yes, perhaps scrapping the bridge is too progressive for Metro Vancouver to achieve at this point in its evolution.

But building a six-lane span 50 metres from the old one doesn’t work either.

We need a new option. It’s time to start planning.

[email protected]

Time to start planning a new option

Sir Richard Branson has been a naughty boy, and B.C. Premier Christy Clark has every right to be offended.

Hot on the heels of the billionaire businessman’s splashy arrival aboard one of his Virgin airline jets to inaugurate his company’s ights between YVR and London, and the requisite photo opportunities with leggy models and then the premier, Branson posted a glib comment on his of cial blog that Clark had accepted his offer to join him for some kitesur ng at Cultus Lake. But, quipped Branson, he’d neglected to tell her about the dress code.

The message was accompanied by a photo of the grey-maned Branson in shorts and shirt, skimming across a waterway, a naked young woman clinging to his back.

Clark was not amused. She called Branson’s joke disrespectful.

That’s an understatement.But it’s not the rst time the

premier has been the target of sexist remarks. Last October a political blogger and former NDP MLA criticized Clark for showing too much cleavage in the legislature.

While you may not agree with Clark’s politics, or the decisions of her government, no woman should be judged purely on her appearance or wardrobe choice.

The days when a woman rising to a high position in government or business was an exceptional achievement are long behind us. Nine women have served as rst ministers of Canadian provinces or territories. One, Kim Campbell, was the Prime Minister of the country for 132 days.

All worked hard to reach the pinnacle.

Still, in 2010 women occupied just 23 per cent of the seats in federal, provincial and territorial legislatures. Federally, Canada ranked 49th in the world for female participation.

Canadian politics remains mostly a man’s game. Sexist comments by the likes of Branson don’t help tip that imbalance.

COMMENT EMAIL [email protected]

I have some observations regarding the proposal from TransLink to replace the Pattullo Bridge with a new six-lane span.

All parties—federal, municipal, provincial and TransLink—should sit down to discuss how to solve traf c, pollution and so on.

Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver have ganged up against New Westminster.

In my opinion, they did not just gang up on us, but it was an insidious attack on New Westminster. Why? Because we are smaller in population than these cities? As of 2011, the approximate populations of neighbouring cities were: Surrey - 468,000; Burnaby - 223,000; Coquitlam - 126,000; Vancouver - 603,000; and New West - 65,000.

See the differences? Is it because we are much smaller that they can just trample on us and shove down our throats what they want without any respect with what we want?

There were several options for a six lane Pattullo Bridge where two of them would be dedicated to trucks.

Where do you think drivers avoiding the tolled Port Mann Bridge will end up? What do you think will happen to the traf c in and out of New Westminster?

Rehabilitate the Pattullo Bridge to give her more life and it will cost less.

All forms of government and residents should work together to arrive at an amicable consensus to promote growth of all communities economically, ecologically, and so on. No city should be burdened with taking the brunt of traf c, pollution, safety concerns and impacts on livability.

It is a give and take situation.We should not be sacri cial

lambs for the sake of growth of other communities.

TWO VIEWS OF PESTICIDE BANRe: Premier bitten by pest problem (B.C. Views, May 23).

The editorial on cosmetic pesticides written by Tom Fletcher skates around the body of medical

and scienti c evidence linking these toxins to such illnesses as childhood leukemia and Parkinson’s disease. In his words, the “right thing to do” is to do nothing about cosmetic pesticides.

I imagine if he were living in the sixties, he would be arguing that the Vietnam War was the right thing to do, or in the seventies that concern over the nuclear arms race was merely “political.”

The problem with cosmetic pesticides, like DDT or cigarettes, is that there is no smoking gun. It is going to take time to convince some people that pouring poison on their lawn could harm their children. In the case of Mr. Fletcher, I think it will take a lifetime. I pity his children.

Jim McMurtry, Surrey* * *

I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use. With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very speci c inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants.

It has even gone through phase one clinical trials (which test safety for humans) because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck. In other words, you could drink the stuff with no ill effect.

When Oak Bay council proposed banning all “pesticides” including Roundup, I wrote them pointing out these facts. To no avail; they just went along with the herd, and copied the type of ban that Saanich has. Well, keep up the good work of speaking truth to ignorance. It might eventually help.

SAPPERTON PUSHED TO TIPPING POINT

I want to weigh in with a few thoughts about the proposed zoning changes for lower Sapperton, as put forward by the Elizabeth Fry Society. I understand why the city would lean towards supporting the OCP change because it will bring additional jobs and an increased tax

base. The EFry application is a

convenient opening salvo to accomplishing this. The fact that EFry has made the rezoning request has blurred the issue by drawing attention away from the bigger picture. EFry deals with complex social problems that badly need addressing. Anyone opposing this motherhood and apple pie issue needs to give their head a shake. If it is a Sapperton resident then it must be NIMBYism. Fact is that EFry has had a negative spillover into the community.

We are not asking them to move, even with our uneasy relationship. Though this battle has taken center stage this rezoning issue is really not about them. The real issue, the bigger picture is about setting a precedent for making the single-family area of lower Sapperton smaller. We need a critical mass to maintain our sense of community. Reducing our footprint by adding rezoning to all the other pressures we face will bring us closer to a critical tipping point.

STOP GUESSING

START ASKING

It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program.

Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants.

“British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.”

Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria.

With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

sodium requirements.Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes,

cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so calorie-counting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle.

“Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.”

The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available.

“We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.”

The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure.

“I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.”

The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

Making dining out just a little bit easier

“ British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed

choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Michael de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.”


Family Day hurts economy, MLAs sayTom Fletchert [email protected]

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark is pushing ahead with plans for a new Family Day holiday in February, after independent MLAs voted against the move.

NDP MLAs supported B.C. Liberal members in the key vote to approve the new statutory holiday Tuesday. The rst one will be next

Feb. 11, and the second Monday in February each year after that.

Independent MLAs criticized the move and forced a standing vote, after listing the costs it would impose on business. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimates that Family Day will cost the average small business more than $1,100 in wage costs, either paying employees to stay home or overtime to come to work.

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington reminded the legislature the new holiday is imposed on business after three increases in the minimum wage in the past year, an average $3,000 transition to the harmonized sales tax and soon a similar cost to switch back to the PST next year. Clark promised the new holiday during her B.C. Liberal leadership campaign last year. It will join holidays in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Prince Edward Island.

Clark has argued that the new holiday will not only increase family time, it will also boost business for ski hills, hotels restaurants and other tourist businesses during a slow time of year. Clark and Labour Minister Margaret McDiarmid said choosing a date that is not in step with other western provinces or the President’s Day holiday in the U.S. would mean less out-of-town traf c at B.C. attractions for people with a day off.

Westminster Pier Park has won another national award.

The Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators gave New Westminster its 2012 Environment Award at its annual conference in Saskatoon.

CAMA president Jim Toye said in a press release the award, which was for cities with populations between 20,000 and 100,000, recognizes the City of New Westminster’s work “in turning a contaminated brown eld into a usable

green eld.”The association said the derelict

and underutilized waterfront property had accumulated years of signi cant contamination because of past commercial and heavy industrial port uses, and in lling of the river.

“Reclamation of this brown eld site restores and protects the natural environment,” said the release.

The city bought the land for more than $8 million, and the project cost over $25 million with

the cost being split with the federal and provincial governments.

The project also won a Federation of Canadian Municipalities sustainable communities award in the brown eld category as well as the 2011 Brownie award given out for sustainable remediation technologies by the Canadian Urban Institute.

Westminster Pier Park’s of cial opening is scheduled for Saturday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

SPORTSNew West comes up on short end in showdown at Queen’s Park Arena

Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs solidi ed their hold on rst place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League by edging the New Westminster Salmonbellies 5-3 at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

With the win, the Adanacs improved to 8-1 while the Salmonbellies are 6-3.

Both teams scored twice in the rst period, but the A’s were the only one to get a goal in the second and it came with just 2:04 left in the period. They extended their lead to 4-2 midway through the third with New West’s nal goal coming with just 46 seconds left.

Brandon Goodwin and Keegan Bal had a goal and an assist each with Luke Gillespie scoring the other and Reagan Harding getting two assists.

On the weekend, the ’Bellies bounced back from a 9-8 loss to the hometown Delta Islanders on Saturday by defeating the

visiting Victoria Shamrock 12-4 on Sunday.

Bal piled up the points against the Shamrocks with three goals and ve assists, as did Kyle Dobbie who notched three of each. All of Dobbie’s goals came in the rst period when the

Salmonbellies jumped out to a 7-1 lead.

Goodwin scored twice on his 13 shots and also added an assist while Anthony Malcom had a goal and three assists. Gillespie also scored twice with Jakob Doucet getting the other.

The Salmonbellies outshot the Shamrocks 56-35 with Frank Scigliano making 24 saves before giving way to Callum Dailly in the last half of the third period.

In Ladner on Saturday, New West took a 5-1 rst period lead, but by the time the third period started the Salmonbellies lead had shrunk to 8-7 and their shooters were silenced in the nal frame.

Anthony had three goals and an assist while Goodwin notched two goals and a helper. Singles went to Bal, Gillespie and Justin Tucker.

• New Westminster native Keegan Bowman has been named to the Midwest Lacrosse Conference all-star team.

The 2007 graduate of New Westminster secondary has been playing the attack position for Carthage College, a NCAA Division III school in Kenosha, Wisc. He was the Red Man’s leading scorer with 50 goals and 68 points in 14 games in his senior season.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies parlayed a pair of powerplay goals early into the rst period into a 9-7 victory over the hometown Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday.

The A’s Jason Jones was handed a ve-minute checking-from-behind

major penalty 6:26 into the game. New West took advantage with Jordan McBride scoring 32 seconds later and just 34 seconds after that he assisted on a goal by Martin Cummings.

By the end of the rst period the Salmonbellies had a 5-2 lead and even extended it to 6-2 halfway through the second period before the A’s put on a charge to narrow the de cit to 7-6 by the end of the second.

Ilija Gajic led the way on the scoresheet for the Salmonbellies with three goals and two assists. Other New West goals were scored by Gajic’s younger brother Alex, Kevin Crowley, Jeff Sproule and Jeff Zywicki.

The A’s outshot the ’Bellies 43-41 with Tyler Richards making 36 saves in the New West net.

Last Thursday, the Salmonbellies came out ring in their season opener in cutting down the Nanaimo Timbermen 17-7 at Queen’s Park Arena.

It was the rst time the four Gajic brothers got to play together and they didn’t disappoint. Ilija Gajic scored four goals and assisted on two others. Youngest brother Alex had two assists, while the oldest brothers, Milan and Nenad had an assist each. It was Milan’s rst Western Lacrosse Association game after pursuing a professional hockey career.

New West’s top point getter was Kevin Crowley with two goals and ve assists. Eric Lewthwaite scored three times while Jordan McBride chipped in with two goals and three assists. Jeff Zywicki also had a ve-point night, including four assists. Mike Berekoff and Martin Cummings scored two each with Ian Hawksbee getting one.

The Salmonbellies are in Coquitlam to take on the Adanacs on Saturday. The Maple Ridge Burrards will visit Queen’s Park Arena next Thursday.

For the second consecutive year the New Westminster Twins major A team nished third at the Hyack Little League Baseball Tournament.

The Twins defeated the South Vancouver Yankees 3-0 at Moody Park on Sunday to claim third

During the tournament, the Twins had three wins and one tie, but missed out on playing for the championship on aggregate runs scored.

In their opening game, the Twins trampled the Coquitlam Giants 20-4

with Adamoski and Gee hitting home runs. They tied Kerrisdale 2-2 in their second game before blanking the Trout Lake Cubs 11-0 with Adamoski, Gee and Chang combining on a no-hitter and 12 strikeouts.

Adamoski also won the tournament’s home-run hitting contest Saturday.

The Hastings White Sox downed the South Vancouver Red Sox 11-0 in the nal of the 16-team tournament.

Uptown to Downtown, the quality of fine art and performing art in New

Westminster is overwhelming. The Arts Council Gallery at Queen’s Park. Wonderful performances at Massey Theatre and Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Centre. Lit Fest New West—which not only featured writers, but a gala event with performing artists. Fantastic work by local artisans at public markets. Great live music at diverse venues.

Now we’re stepping up the tempo on the music front, planning the launch of Music Fest New West next spring, the rst edition of a new annual music festival.

The Arts Council of New Westminster is laying the groundwork for a city-wide event that will emphasize musicians and musical groups who live and play here. Here’s what our committee has in mind:

• An outstanding multi-venue music festival with top-notch pro and amateur talent playing jazz, folk, classical, pop and more.

• Performances by individuals as well as groups. Think of the New West

Symphony, community choirs, youth bands, and student groups from the rst-rate music programs at New West

Secondary School, Glenbrook Middle School and elementary schools.

Our city is full of musicians. I’ve heard a lot of them, and know more are out there. Statistics Canada reports that New Westminster’s population has a

healthy proportion of performing artists. They deserve to be heard.

Musicians, take note: Are you a musician living in New West? Do you have a band or group people should hear? What’s your vision for what might go into Music Fest New West?

Our committee wants to hear (pun intended) from you. Just send an email to [email protected].

And stay tuned. As next spring approaches, you can count on us for an earful of sound ideas.

A professional musician, Dave Quinn is a director of the Arts Council of New Westminster and chairs the committee organizing the city’s rst annual music festival in 2013. He lls in this week for Rick Carswell, arts council president.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEA volunteer at the Khalsa Diwan Society in New Westminster is now also one of Canada’s top 25 immigrants. Kehar Singh Aujla’s latest honour comes from an online contest by Canadian Immigrant magazine. Other winners in the fourth annual poll include Olympic wrestler Daniel Igali, hip-hop artist K’naan, architect Bing Thom, actress Tonya-Lee Williams and federal MP Olivia Chow. Aujla, 78, came from India in 1996. He volunteers with nine organizations, including the Khalsa where he serves up meals (shown in the picture), Volunteer Grandparents, Senior Outreach Services Society, Burnaby Hospital and Burnaby Village Museum. He was one of 550 nominated for the award, who were then whittled down to 75 nalists by a panel of past winners. More than 28,000 votes were cast to determine the winners. Each winner gets a certi cate and a $500 donation to a registered Canadian charity of their choice.

The Royal City Show and Shine has a sponsor, and quite naturally it’s a car dealership.

The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association (NWBIA)has announced a title sponsorship agreement with Key West Ford for the 13th annual festival.

“The event draws huge crowds each year and is a great t for our brand,” said Key West Ford general manager Adam Isfeld. “We plan to have a large presence at the event.”

The event, which will be held on Columbia Street on Sunday July 8 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., will feature more than 300 classic, vintage, custom and specialty vehicles, as well as entertainment and food.

For the rst time in more than 10 years Richards will be playing at the recently renovated Columbia.

For Richards, who is close to his 80th year as a working musician, said “It’s been a long time coming.”

Sev Morin, a long-time friend, is producing the show to raise awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada.

Morin was moved by the story of Eva Markvoort, a young woman

from New Westminster who left the legacy of 65 Red Roses.

In honour of Eva’s memory, 65 red roses will be given to the rst 65 ticket purchasers.

The 94-year-old Richards is not one to sit back and bask in the memory of magical days gone by.

“I’m still having fun leading the band and entertaining British Columbians; and I plan to keep going as long as I can,” Richards said.

The tickets are available online at www.thecolumbia.ca or call 604-522-4500.

The event will take place at 530 Columbia St., doors open at 7 p.m.

When Panther Constructors decided to build their latest development in Chinatown, The Flats on Georgia, they ran into a few emotional obstacles.

“How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” asks Panther Director Brian Low. “We have to do justice to the neighbourhood.”

“You have to carefully stitch a patch into the existing quilt,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International Residential Marketing.

The 28 one- and two-bedroom condominiums include nine-foot ceilings, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows that will allow natural light to pour in.

Outside, the building rises nine storeys from the street, and features contemporary Chinatown architecture like slotted shutters, Juliet balconies in some plans and ground level retail.

“The crux of the unit is ‘thoughtful livability,’” Low says. With open concept kitchens, polished concrete flooring throughout and custom millwork, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked.

“(We) spent a lot of time thinking (about) important details,” Low says. “Personally, I haven’t lived in a place that feels more like a community ... It’s like a small town inside a big city.”

Rize Alliance is bringing some high style to Surrey’s City Centre with its newest condominium project, Wave.

The two high-rise towers will hold 235 suites per tower, and with generous balconies included in every home, it’s no surprise that many have already been sold. Many of the outdoor spaces are larger than 100 square feet.

“It’s unheard of to bring that kind of outdoor space to condos,” says Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance.

The architecture is definitely the defining exterior feature of Wave. As its name suggests, it’s built in a gently undulating wave pattern that will make it an iconic part of the City Centre skyline. Each floor is curved differently than the one above and below it, so no two homes are identical.

“People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Lin. Curb appeal is definitely one of the many reasons people are choosing to live at Wave, along with the affordable prices and the location, which is rapidly growing in popularity.

Another special feature at Wave is inside the suites. Ingenious movable walls mean that you can change your home to suit your every need, whether it’s closing off a space for visiting overnight guests or opening it up to have more room to entertain.

“The movable walls create space as necessary,” Lin says. He explains that this gives homeowners double the possibilities for their home.

There are a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from approximately 522 to 780 square feet. The living area features contemporary wood-tone laminate flooring, while the bedroom includes luxurious nylon custom carpeting that you can sink your toes into. Because of the design of the building there is a beautiful view in every direction, so the large windows let in tons of natural light and afford you a daily taste of your personal stunning view.

The kitchens are perfect for entertaining or a night in with a glass of wine and a good book. With polished quartzite countertops complemented by soft-close durable wood grain cabinets

and stainless-steel appliances, you may be inspired to become a gourmet chef. A typical condo kitchen, this is not.

The bathrooms are chic and cool, with their own set of polished quartzite countertops and porcelain floor tile. A brushed aluminum mirror lends a little elegant touch to the space where you may spend much of your time getting ready for the day or a night out.

When you’re ready for a bit of entertainment, the development has some pretty great amenities, from a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a theatre room, a library and lounge areas with a kitchen, among many other amenities. Wave is also pet-friendly, with a pet wash/grooming room.

A community garden is also on-site, as well as an open space on the ground level that will hold a barbecue area with

tables, chairs and benches, and paved garden paths and green space.

Surrey City Centre “is going to be a gathering space,” says Lin. “It’s going to be the most popular space in Greater Vancouver.” The civic plaza currently holds the City Centre Library and will eventually be home to Surrey’s new City Hall. A new performing arts centre, Simon Fraser University and the Surrey Art Gallery are also nearby.

Almost any amenity or service you could imagine is in the area, from shopping at the Central City mall to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. If it’s a bit of outdoor recreation you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it at one of the many parks near Wave, including Holland Park,

home of the annual Fusion Festival and Movies Under the Stars. The North Surrey Recreation Centre, featuring a pool and several ice rinks, is right beside the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, just minutes from Wave.

Wave is within easy walking distance of transit, so you’ll be able to leave your car behind. There are several bus routes and SkyTrain stations in the area.

“It’s easy to zip to central Surrey and back to Vancouver,” Lin says.

Surrey has quickly become a large urban centre in its own right, separate from Vancouver itself.

“Places like Surrey, suburban centres, are going to be the next Vancouver east side,” Lin says, citing that area’s popularity with buyers until its home prices began to rise.

“To get that kind of pricing, you have to go out to the suburban areas. This area is going to take off,” he says.

Homes at Wave start at $179,900. For more information, visit www.waveliving.ca or call 604-951-9283.

Submitted photoThe homes at Wave are elegant and modern, with wood-tone laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light flood in. With several different floorplans available, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home.

AMENDMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan (PMP) No: 107-0128-12/17

Applicant: Canadian National Railway Company (CN), 11717-138th Street, Surrey BC V3R 6T5 (604) 589-6542

Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1

Tel/FAX: (250) 492-6193 E-mail: [email protected]

The purpose of the proposed amendment request is to control wood decay in two timber bridges located (1) adjacent to No. 8 Rd, Lulu Island, Richmond at MP 6.96, and (2) across the north arm of the Fraser River between the 21100 Block River Rd. on Lulu Island and south Burnaby, south of Fraser Park Drive.

The common and trade name of the pesticide proposed for use under this amendment are chloropicrin (Timber Fume). The application method will consist of manually inserting capped vials containing a pre-measured portion of Timber Fume into drilled holes in timbers. The degradable cap on the vial breaks down over time and temperature (within the drilled holes), allowing the liquid Timber Fume to enter the gas phase and move into the surrounding wood. All holes will be plugged with tight fi tting wood plugs following treatment. This ensures that the Timber Fume does not enter a body of water or other environmentally sensitive area. Drilled holes will be located at least 60 cm above the high water mark.

The duration of the proposed amendment to the PMP is from July 25, 2012 to May 3, 2017.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the PMP and a map showing the location of the timber bridges proposed for treatment may be obtained by contacting the Agent (SMC Consulting) listed above.

“A person wishing to contribute information about the proposed treatment sites relative

to the development of the amendment to the PMP may send copies of the information to

the applicant c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above within 30 days of the

publication of this notice”
