MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERA passerby checks out some of the trees uprooted in Queen’s Park by Saturday’s fierce windstorm.

Pier Park could become concert venueMario [email protected]

Pier Park could become the Lower Mainland’s newest outdoor concert venue.

A proposal by Beyond Marketing Group, a Vancouver event and lifestyle marketing company, and promoter Timbre Concerts, would see the riverfront park host two or three ticketed concerts next August as a “test run,” with more dates possible in 2017.

Chris Lee, the president of Beyond Marketing, said Pier Park provides a unique opportunity to showcase the city and the waterfront.

“It’s a music experience that can only happen in New Westminster,” said Lee in a presentation to council on Monday. “The real attraction is the venue itself. It would be the Lower Mainland’s only waterfront concert experience.”

Lee, who said he’s already had positive discussions about the proposal with the city’s engineering, police and fire departments, as well as an endorsement from the Downtown BIA and approval in principle from the provincial liquor licensing board, anticipates the concerts would attract about 3,000 people to the park’s beach and festival lawn areas.

He said the bands would “lean towards a more progressive, younger audience,” like Death Cab for Cutie, Annie deFrance and even Wilco.

They would “introduce the city to new audiences that haven’t been to New West,” said Lee, and likely generate an estimated economic impact of about $200,000 per concert.

City returning to normal after fierce windstorm SaturdayMario [email protected]

The power is back on for New Westminster residents who were left in the dark by Saturday’s fierce windstorm.

Rod Carle, the general manager of the city’s electrical utility, said at the height of the storm about 15 to 20 per cent of the city was without power. The hardest hit area was along Royal Avenue, where six utility poles were snapped by the wind that approached 90 km/h, prompting police to close the major thoroughfare including its access ramp to the Pattullo Bridge.

That damage was finally repaired by Sunday night, leaving only a few isolated pockets of outages on Monday

Carle said his crew of eight linemen, plus electricians, started getting busy at around noon on Saturday as the storm intensified,

and four people handled phone calls around the clock through Sunday.

“It’s probably the worst we’ve seen in a decade,” said Carle. “In the nine years I’ve been with the city, I haven’t seen anything like this at all.”

The fire department fielded 40 per cent more calls during the storm than they get on a normal weekend.

Most of those were to attend downed trees and wires pulled down by those trees, said Jim Wishlove, a deputy chief at the department.

“You can imagine, when the weather is normal, we don’t get those kind of calls,” said Wishlove. “Saturday was an exceptionally busy time for us.”

The volume of calls rose as the storm intensified around the noon hour, said Wishlove, as crews on duty were dispatched

from one incident to the next without a respite.

That prompted the department to activate its emergency operations centre, based at the Glenbrook fire hall, to allow all the city’s emergency services, including fire, police, engineering and the parks department, to co-ordinate their responses.

“Once we did that, we were able to field and respond to everything,” said Wishlove.

Jeff Scott, of the New West police department, said extra officers were brought in to help with the volume of calls, mostly to manage traffic on roads that were blocked by downed trees and power lines.

One of the areas hardest hit by the winds was Queen’s Park, said Dean Gibson, New West’s director of parks and recreation.

NWPL SHOWS 20 WORKS BY CELEBRATED ARTIST, JOE PLASKETTThe New Westminster Public Library is lucky to own 20 works by the late Joe Plaskett, New Westminster’s most celebrated visual artist. The eleven pastel drawings and nine oil paintings depict New Westminster streets and vistas. These works were acquired over many years through a combination of gifts and purchases, in conjunction with several shows the artist held at the library in the 1970s.

The oil paintings will be available to view on the 2nd fl oor during library hours in September and October. The pastel drawings, located in the Plaskett Room, may be viewed if the room is not in use. Visitors will be able to enter a draw for a copy of Plaskett’s biography, A Speaking Likeness, signed by the artist.

The exhibit commemorates the fi rst anniversary of Plaskett’s death, in September 2014, at the age of 96, and is mounted as part of the library’s 150th Anniversary celebrations.

THANK YOU The City of New Westminster would like to thank all residents for their patience this past weekend as city electrical crews worked to restore power to aff ected areas as quickly as possible and fi rst responders worked to keep everyone safe.

For many, the extended power outage served as a reminder to be prepared for an emergency situation. We would like to encourage everyone to take this opportunity to review, or create, their own emergency preparedness kit. In the event of an emergency, all households should have the necessary supplies to take care of family members for a minimum of 72 hours.

For more information on how to prepare your emergency preparedness kit, please visit www.newwestcity.ca/emo.

“This would become a major public statement about New West,” said Lee. “It says something about the city being progressive, unique, fun and exciting.”

Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he’s excited about the idea.

“We’ve had a few small events in Pier Park, but we’ve always wondered what we can do with it,” said Johnstone. “This kind of idea looks really positive.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said while the venue is “incredible for this type of venture,” he’s concerned about the impact on other park users.

Lee said each concert would require the park be closed for up to two days to allow for the set up and tear down of the stage, hospitality and food and beverage

areas. But he didn’t rule out the possibility of partnering with the city or community groups to have access to the infrastructure, once it’s set up, for family-oriented programming before the pro acts take over.

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said a waterfront concert series would go a long way to making New West a vibrant city for residents and visitors.

“It’s my hope that people can go online every weekend in the summer and see what’s happening in New West, because something is always happening in New West,” said McEvoy.

It would also keep him closer to home.“I travel for these kinds of concerts,”

said McEvoy.Council referred the proposal to staff for

further study.

Economic benefits could be huge

A number of large trees near the park’s entrance at Third Avenue were uprooted, and the rest of the park was littered with broken limbs, branches and leaves.

Gibson said the timing of the storm exacerbated the damage.

“Having that blast of wind in trees that are in full foliage is what impacted us significantly,” said Gibson. “They’re just like giant sails out there.”

Another large tree

toppled across Alberta Street in Sapperton, prompting some residents to quip on social media they finally got the traffic calming they’d long sought to deal with the number of cars driving through their neighbourhood.

Gibson said the city’s staff of three full-time arbourists as well as its gardeners were out and about on Monday assessing the felled trees and inspecting damaged ones to ensure branches or limbs aren’t posing a further

hazard.Wishlove said while some

trees that fell across hydro wires became energized and required immediate attention, for the most part his crews just determined any safety hazards posed by the fallen trees or limbs then called in the required resources to deal with it.

He said the volume of calls diminished with the winds and by 9 p.m. everything was back to normal and the emergency operation centre was shut down.

Long before there was New West Pride or a rainbow crosswalk painted on Columbia Street, the Royal Family Bowling League (RFBL) at Lucky Strike Lanes was a gathering place for the city’s gay and lesbian community.

But with the closure of Lucky Strike in August, the RFBL has been uprooted to Zone Bowling in Coqutilam, where its two dozen or so members will begin throwing strikes and spares the first Tuesday after August.

It’s a bittersweet parting, said Terry Tomcko, the league’s social director and a member since 1996, when the group was but two years old.

Back then there were few social options other than the bar scene for the suburban Queer community, said Tomcko. The bowling league provided a safe, welcoming environment to socialize. And the Lucky Strike’s

central location attracted members from as far away as Abbotsford and North Vancouver.

“It’s a fun night out,” said Tomcko. “The league has never been competitive, we’re just there to have fun. You feel comfortable.”

That comfort was hard to find for some of the league’s members, who range in age from their 20’s up to their 80’s. Some had lived most of their lives in the shadows, unaccepted and unwelcome by straight society.

Their stories, often swapped between dirks and harkriders, help give perspective to some of the league’s younger members, further building the feeling of community, said Tomcko.

“You never would have dreamed in the 1950’s to go to a bowling alley as a gay league,” said Tomcko. “Everyone has done a little part to make the gay community as open as it is now.”

In its heyday, the RFBL’s four-person teams occupied

all of Lucky Strike’s 10-pin lanes on a Tuesday night. There was a waiting list for new members.

But with more social options readily available for the gay community, membership has wavered around the two-dozen mark the past several years.

Tomcko said the league could see the writing on the wall for Lucky Strike; the lanes weren’t being as well maintained, there were fewer bowlers occupying neighbouring lanes.

But news of the venerable alley’s closure still came as a shock, and initiated a bit of a scramble for a new venue.

Tomcko said he’s hopeful the move to Coquitlam will attract new bowlers, especially from the northeast suburbs.

“The aim of the league is to have fun and socialize within our community, and that we do,” said Tomcko.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster secondary school is looking a little less worse for wear for principal Phil Cookson, his staff and students, after a summer of maintenance, including the removal of some old lead-based paint and a new coat of colour on the building’s exterior.


It might not be the shiny new building students and staff have been hoping to get for years, but New Westminster secondary is looking a little cleaner and brighter heading into the new school year.

That’s thanks to a thorough cleanup and new paint job for the school’s window frames and doors, as well as an expanded space for the district’s IT department that is located at NWSS.

Doug Templeton, the district’s director of facilities and maintenance, said it’s a fine balance to determine what the old high school needs for upkeep when it’s slated to be replaced.

“Of course we were hoping it would be replaced by now,” said

Templeton. “We wanted to clean it up a bit without spending a lot of money to do that.”

But even that simple clean up is complicated by the school’s age, said Glen Henderson, the district’s maintenance manager.

NWSS was built when nobody thought twice about insulating pipes with asbestos and paints were often lead based. Removing those materials now requires special handling that the district leaves to experts, said Henderson.

Templeton said the bulk of the district’s $1 million grant from the provincial government for facility upgrades was spent on total and partial roof replacements at four schools. In addition, F.W. Howay got a new boiler, kitchen, an upgraded office and an

expanded hockey box to also accommodate basketball.

All schools get a scrubbing from top to bottom, furniture is washed, floors are cleaned and tweaks to mechanical and electrical systems are made to improve their energy efficiency.

“We try to make an impact to that school,” said Templeton. “We make the schools as bright and shiny as they can be.”

As teachers and staff move in this week to prepare for the school year, Templeton’s crew of carpenters, electricians, three groundskeepers, a plumber and an HVAC specialist begin dialling back their work to more routine chores.

“Our busy time is in the summer,” said Templeton. “When school starts we get back to a routine.”

Mark Cook’s garage is filled with bad ideas that used to be good.

Eventually the fondue pot, sky-high faux-fur platform shoes and torso-sized ogre mask just became clutter.

Cook hopes his latest good idea won’t be joining that heap.

The Queen’s Park resident has launched a new website, comegrabit.com, to help connect people looking to declutter their basements and garages with those seeking a must-have treasure.

Unlike established classified websites, all of the exchanges on comegrabit.com are free or for-trade.

“There is nothing better than free goods,” said Cook.

The idea of turning his surplus junk into someone else’s prized possession was instilled in Cook by his mother, Margaret, who was recycling long before it became fashionable. Rather than pitch household items that had outlived their usefulness into the garbage dumpster, she gave them away to friends and neighbours, or traded for stuff that was now needed.

That’s pretty much how comegrabit.com works, said Cook. Except all the bartering is done online.

The site itself is free. Once a user registers, they can post their item along with a photo. They’re also provided with a unique email address to facilitate communication with potential suitors.

Cook readily admits he’s not reinventing the

wheel. But by keeping the site local and focussed entirely on free and barter transactions, he’s confident it will find a niche amongst the well-established giants like Craigslist or Kijiji.

“It’s a directed market,” said Cook, who supports the site with advertising. “If you’re looking to get rid of free stuff, this is where to do it.”

In the three months since the site went live, Cook said he’s seen users dispose of everything from a player piano, to bikes, to old arcade games, to collectibles and video games.

“It’s neat to see what was garbage for one person is something someone else really wants,” said Cook. “People are so positive because they’re getting something for nothing.”

Website aims to reduce clutter

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERMark Cook is surrounded by some of the stuff he’s managed to collect in his New Westminster garage over the years. He’s now started a website to help people declutter by offering to surplus stuff for free.

“Lyle & Sandy sold our family home in less than a week, $62 thousand over list price with full MLS Service & saved us over $20

thousand* in real estate commission fees!”

We just completed our third real estate transaction with Sandy and Lyle. We have bought one property and sold two properties through Sandy and Lyle. Our purchase was made under the listing price and both of our sales were completed

at substantially over the listing price. Both sales were completed within a week of listing and were totally painless. I have worked with full commission agents and can honestly say that Sandy and Lyle provided better service and worked harder than the full commission agents. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Sandy and Lyle to friends and family and of course Sandy and Lyle will be my � rst and best option if I

need any help with a property in the future. It’s a win-win situation. The seller saves on commission

and the buyer is able purchase the property at a lower price due to the lower commission.

Downtown New Westminster may be undergoing a renaissance of development, but the area’s revitalization is nothing new.

It’s been going on for decades, according to Kendra Johnston, executive director of the Downtown New Westminster BIA. The city has shaped and reshaped the neighbourhood along Columbia Street ever since its 1950s heyday when it was referred to as the Golden Mile.

“As the story goes, with the advent of the mall, main streets started changing, started dying off. There was a real decline in the ’60s and ’70s,” said Johnston. “Then, the ’80s and ’90s was probably the real low point for downtown New West. A lot of shops had left, all the big stores had left.”

After its formation in 1989, the BIA started working with the city on strategies to attract shoppers back to New West and maintain the downtown’s strong business community. In that time, poverty and crime have been reduced, more businesses have set up shop and new residential properties are making downtown an ideal place to live.

“The positive upswing has really been happening over the last 10 years or so, with a lot of residential development, waterfront development,” said Johnston, citing the redevelopment of the federal

post office to the C2C Lofts as a catalyst for construction.

“That was sort of pivotal — that’s when other developers started looking at downtown New West,” she said.

The downtown has seen a domino effect of repurposing: The Windsor Hotel became the Interurban, an unused portion of the waterfront became Westminster Pier Park, and an old warehouse with offices became the brand new Trapp+Holbrook apartment building.

“The downtown now is a

growth concentration area in the city’s plans,” said Lisa Spitale, chief administrative officer with the City of New Westminster, noting the overall vision for the area includes high-density living, waterfront recreation and an abundance of amenities.

However, she said the balance of modern architecture and heritage preservation has always been part of the city’s downtown community plan from 2010.

“Within that vision … is this need to continue to preserve the historic character, especially along Columbia Street and

Front Street,” she said. “It’s those buildings that give New Westminster and the downtown their sense of place and authenticity.”

The downtown’s identity is anchored in the city’s 157-year history, but at the same time, Columbia Street is steadily becoming a more lively entertainment district, similar to Commercial Drive or Granville Street.

“The biggest trend is food and beverage,” said Johnston, noting restauranteurs are moving in with a focus on serving the local

community. “Over the last year, I’ve seen probably 20 new food and beverage places open up.”

“The BIA has done a very good job of working with businesses and supporting them and getting a sense of what the downtown needs to stay vibrant, to stay relevant,” said Spitale of the neighbourhood’s funkier changes. “It just creates this very vibrant commercial area.”

Looking ahead, highrises are slated to be built along the waterfront, the boardwalk along downtown will be completed, and Spitale said impending additions like the Q2Q Bridge will draw more people to Columbia Street — perhaps marking a revival of the Golden Mile.

“I think, fundamentally, what we’re going to see is these amenities along the waterfront where people can enjoy the Fraser River on both sides,” she said. “People like to walk and people like to be next to the water.”

For Johnston, she’s looking forward to what other developments will be coming down the pipe for untouched parts of downtown, namely the Copp’s Shoes lot that burnt to the ground in October 2013.

“It was such a sad loss, and that lot is now a big empty lot,” she said. “It’s just come under new ownership and I’m excited to see what happens with that site. It’s just an empty lot —there’s so much potential.”

Downtown’s Golden Mile looking to shine again

JACOB ZINN/NEWSLEADERMaddison McKitrick and Kendra Johnston of the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association show off a photograph of Columbia Street from the 1950s, back when it was referred to as the Golden Mile. The street has seen many shops come and go over the years, but the area has experienced an upswing in development in the last decade, with a new focus on residential buildings and services drawing people to the downtown core.

What does New Westminster have in common with New York?

Aside from having “New” in their names, the neighbourhood of Sapperton has been hailed by residents and outsiders as the next Brooklyn for its identity as a bustling, hip, urban area for young people.

To be compared to one of the five boroughs is definitely a compliment, and Sapperton has really set itself apart from other neighbourhoods, thanks to a spotlight of development from the city.

“Sapperton is a real focus for the city right now,” said Jackie Teed, New Westminster’s manager of planning. “A lot of our city-wide projects are really drilling into Sapperton.”

Arguably the largest of those projects is Sapperton Green, a 38-acre property off of the SkyTrain that aims to become a transit-oriented community for residents

and businesses. Its proximity to transit makes it a viable candidate for high-density development — something the developers and the city have discussed with the public through open houses since 2011.

“We do have a sense that the community is comfortable with that area being a high-growth area,” said Teed. “The community wants to ensure that growth fits into that area and doesn’t negatively impact the neighbourhood, and so making sure that happens sensitively — particularly at the edges of the development — is going to be important.”

Teed said the site is looking to have 3.4 million square feet of residential, a half-million to a million square feet of office space and about 130,000 square feet of retail. The city also wants to ensure there are enough amenities to support new people who will live and work in the area.

“We’re really creating a mixed use community and a complete community all

in that compact area,” she said. “It creates an environment where people are able to live and work and play right in their own neighbourhood.”

Perhaps a strong example of a similar concept in the works is Sapperton’s Brewery District, a lively area on the former Labatt site that has seen a boom in commercial and retail properties. Everything from yoga studios to sit-down restaurants to cafés have popped up, serving as a catalyst for development in the neighbourhood.

“There hadn’t been any new retail space created in Sapperton in about a generation prior to the Brewery District,” said Teed. “When the brewery left, the city really looked at what needed to be there.”

Teed said the next phase is beginning to move forward, bringing residential development to the area to sustain the new businesses.

The third piece of Sapperton’s puzzle is the newly announced expansion to Royal Columbian Hospital, set to begin

later this year. The first phase, pegged at $259 million, will include a 75-bed mental health and substance use facility, a dedicated geriatric psychiatry unit, eight additional or expanded outpatient clinics, a relocated helipad, a new parkade and an energy centre for power and utilities infrastructure.

While it won’t change much on the outside, Teed said the upgrades will be invaluable to patients.

“In terms of people who use mental health facilities, it’s going to provide a huge improvement,” she said. “They’re really providing a facility that’s going to really support mental health care in our city and our region.”

Beyond those projects, the city’s vision for Sapperton is still being refined, but Teed said the city wants to maintain the neighbourhood’s identity as it grows into itself.

“We’re really looking at how Sapperton will grow into the future,” she said. “We’d like to do work there that allows that kind of character to happen.”

Sapperton carves its own identity

So, how long was your power out?

That has been the opening line this week in many a conversation among friends and family throughout New Westminster and the rest of Metro Vancouver.

The ferocious windstorm that whacked the region Saturday blew down trees, closed roads and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people.

And that is good news.Consider #bcstorm a

practice run for the Big One about which we’ve all been warned for years — and for which many of us have failed to prepare.

Rather than a full-on spurned-lover slap in the face, the windstorm was a gentle pat on the cheek

reminding us to wake the heck up and get ourselves, our families and our homes prepared in case a real disaster happens — and not being able to watch TV or charge your iPhone for a day are not disasters.

Consider this: Some New West residents were without power for just a few hours, others for a lot longer and, as a result, fast food restaurants and grocery stores were overrun with customers, the latter even running out of ice as people sought to keep food from spoiling. In the case of a major earthquake, we’ve all been warned we’ll need to be self-sufficient for 72 hours — that means we need to be able to secure our homes and keep ourselves safe, warm, fed and hydrated without looking to authorities or other outside

sources for help.How many of us were

able to do that even for six or 10 or 20 hours on the weekend?

That’s why the storm was good news. Most of us escaped unscathed with a greater understanding of what we’ll need in a real emergency, and now we have time to take the necessary steps.

Not sure what to do? Check out these tips at www.getprepared.gc.ca.

So, you know, get prepared.

And one more thing: A big thank you to the BC Hydro crews, emergency responders and city workers who put in plenty of time dealing with the aftermath of the storm.

Editor’s note: Richard Dal Monte is editor of the

Tri-City News

Comment: Were you prepared?

We walked from Victoria Hill and as soon as we passed the underpass for the Pattullo Bridge and the access to the bridge it was evident that this was going to be one of the events of the year catering to all, be it singles, couples and families.

This event was so thoroughly organized from the placement of the food trucks, independent vendors that attend Famers’ Markets and various other booths.

The strategically placed eating sections were a relief to be seen over the past two years with ample seating for all at various times.

City personnel ensured cleanliness and the recycle bins were easy to find through the six or seven blocks that entailed the event. Volunteers, city staff, police personnel, organizers, food vendors and all other personnel that made this event such a success are to be commended.

Having the Anvil Centre open for the occasion and participating in the event is a boost to the city and all who attended the event.

The buskers and entertainers were excellent with good and excellent music. The beer gardens

were well organized through excellent participation of the diner locations that could provide the staff and space.

All in all, one of the best family get-togethers in the downtown part of the city. Thank you to the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association, Tourism New Westminster, Downtown Merchants and all who made this possible. There is no reason whatsoever why the Downtown cannot become a totally pedestrian friendly section of the city for all to enjoy.

An election challenge

As we know, the government of Canada has increased the universal child care benefit to families for each child under six from $100 to $160 each month (a 60 per cent increase) and has introduced a new $60 per month benefit to each child six through 17 retroactive to Jan. 1, 2015, and payable irrespective of total family income.

Meanwhile, Canada’s poorest seniors, those subsisting on Old Age Security and GIS are

receiving no increase in 2015, even with inflation presently at 2.3 per cent.

The poorest single senior currently receives $1,330.80 per month on OAS+GIS or a total of $15,969.60 yearly. In 2009, the low income cutoff, also known as the poverty line for after tax income for one person was $18,421 yearly (and with inflation, would be at least $20,000 in 2015). In 2011, the government of Canada estimated that there were 680,000 low income seniors, i.e. those collecting OAS+GIS.

Now, with an estimated seven million children between the ages of zero to 17, the new $60 per month increase in child benefits for 2015 will amount to just over $5 billion.

So far during the election campaign, not one party seems to care about senior citizens, particularly about Canada’s most impoverished seniors. In a country as rich as Canada, this amounts to a national disgrace.

Which of our federal leaders will take the challenge and stand up for Canada’s seniors? We need a specific, concrete commitment before we go to cast our ballots.

Tens of thousands without power for three daysJeff [email protected]

BC Hydro is defending its efforts to restore power after a freak summer windstorm cut electricity to 533,000 Lower Mainland homes Saturday and left many residents scrambling to deal with thawing freezer food as the outages dragged onto a second and third day.

About 110,000 homes were still without power Sunday night and that dropped to 32,000 by 4 p.m. Monday — more than 50 hours after some of the outages began — drawing outrage online about spoiling food.

BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said field managers have never seen a storm this challenging before.

“What made this storm so unique is that we had so many customers without

power all on one day,” Heer said. “The last storm of this magnitude was in 2006. We had hundreds of thousands of customers without power then as well, but it was over a couple of days.”

The sheer number of downed branches and trees over lines made it more difficult to switch the flow of power to reconnect homes, she added.

Unlike a winter storm, leafy deciduous trees acted like sails and became more susceptible to the surprise southerly winds, which came after stress from a prolonged summer drought.

BC Hydro called in staff on vacation and brought in crews from Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, Vernon, Kamloops and Vancouver Island to work 16-hour shifts to deal with downed trees and restore power.

“The damage was extensive and it was widespread from North Vancouver to Abbotsford

— it wasn’t just contained to one area,” Heer said. “So extensive repairs were required all across the South Coast.”

About 400 workers were in the field at any given time, she said, adding Hydro managers were “quite happy with the response.”

Winds gusted at times to 80 to 90 km/h Saturday, and unpowered traffic lights caused traffic headaches as drivers used — or ignored — the required four-way stop procedure.

Large numbers of outages persisting into Monday were in Surrey and Langley.

BC Hydro has a priority system for dispatching crews, but it’s not one that favours any particular municipalities, Heer said.

Top priority goes to safety calls where potentially live wires are down across roads and near homes, as well as restoring circuits to critical services like hospitals and pumping

stations.Heer said the priority

then shifts to where crews can get the “biggest bang for our buck” — quickly restoring service to 5,000 homes on one circuit as opposed to 50 on another.

Asked if that means denser neighbourhoods with condos and apartments get power back faster than single-family subdivisions, Heer said not necessarily — it depends on the number of customers on the circuits in question.

Also down was BC Hydro’s website that provides details of each outage and estimates of when power is restored — an “unacceptable” failure Heer said would be investigated.

Trees fell on cars, crushing some, and hospitalizing one woman in Surrey who tried to warn others of the risk.

Falling trees also took down fences at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, but no animals escaped.

New Westminster city council won’t get a look at a revised design for a mural to adorn the facade of the Front Street parkade until November. And this time they won’t make a decision about its merits on their own.

On Monday, council agreed to bring the city’s public art advisory committee back into the loop in determining an appropriate mural for the portion of the parkade that is to be retained after extensive rehabilitation.

A proposal by artists Muse Atelier to fabricate and install their work, The River Flows to the Sea, that is comprised of bold lime-yellow curved translucent strips woven into a chain-link mesh, was endorsed by a jury of art professionals and the city’s public art advisory committee, but rejected by council in July.

Instead council directed staff to continue working with the artists to create a design it feels would be “consistent with the

urban design principles of Westminster Pier Park,” which that part of the parkade overlooks.

On Monday some members of council expressed unease at being cast into the role of art critics by overruling the recommendation of the public arts advisory committee.

“We have a veto, but we have to be careful,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “Public art is almost invariably controversial. None of us got elected on our art critic skills.”

But Coun. Bill Harper said part of the problem with the original recommendation that council rejected is that it was the only option presented to council.

“We only had one option, and when council didn’t like it, we wanted another option,” said Harper.

Coun. Jamie McEvoy said as elected officials, council does have some expertise in expressing “the public opinion of the city,” and the responsibility

to ensure any public art is a wise expenditure of taxpayer funds.

Coun. Mary Trentadue cautioned council it must keep the “public” in public art.

“We should not deviate from the process when we’re faced with art we don’t enjoy,” said Trentadue.

Since council’s rejection of the original artwork, staff from development services and the engineering department as well as the chief administrative officer have been working with the artists to create a design that will be “iconic, inspiring and exciting,” as well as become a prominent feature of the city’s waterfront, according to a report presented to council on Monday.

The delay is not expected to impact completion of the parkade’s rehabilitation work nor the $200,000 budgeted for creation and installation of the mural. If a design is selected in November it will be installed and unveiled next spring.

Parkade mural’s design delayed

SkyTrain delays expected due to track replacement

SkyTrain users should expect some delays this weekend as TransLink is replacing major sections of its 30-year-old track.

Delays are expected on the Millennium and Expo

lines. “Passengers board our

trains about 120 million times a year, and we’re committed to a safe and smooth journey for each and every one,” said Colleen Brennan, TransLink vice-president communications and customer experience in a press release. “We want to keep our valued customers moving while the rail replacement work is underway, and we’re doing everything we can to keep people moving while the repair work is done.”

Customers should plan for at least 20 minutes of extra travel time this weekend.

There will be signs at all stations, and announcements will be made on trains and at stations. SkyTrain attendants will be on hand to answer questions throughout the system.

Crews are replacing a total of 4,550 linear metres of rail, work needed to keep the Expo Line safe and reliable.

The rail being replaced is original track and is nearly 30 years old.

From Sept. 5 to 7 Expo and Millennium Line service will be reduced, while crews replace rail west of Commercial-Broadway Station. Trains will single track at Commercial-Broadway and Main Street-Science World stations.

• Millennium Line will operate between VCC-Clark and Columbia stations only.

• A frequent bus shuttle will operate between VCC-Clark, Main Street-Science World and Stadium-Chinatown stations from noon to 7 p.m. Millennium Line customers travelling into or out of downtown Vancouver in the afternoon should consider using this bus service.

For information on the service impacts, customers can visit www.translink.ca and check Transit Alerts, follow TransLink on Twitter or call customer service at 604-953-3333.

LABOUR DAY

Labour Day is known for many things — a day off work, or the

day that marks the end of summer. But the real meaning of Labour Day is much more significant, and it is important that we reflect on the actual reason we mark this day each year.

More than just a holiday, Labour Day is a day to reflect on the past struggles fought by working people and to celebrate the victories they secured.

Victories we all enjoy today.

In fact, most Canadians take for granted the outcome of these past struggles. The eight-hour work day, overtime pay, benefits, health and safety standards, the weekend...these were all hard-fought for by working people who stood up for their rights and demanded change.

Unions and the labour movement have been at the forefront of improving the lives of all working people for more than a century. And we continue to play an important role in protecting

these rights.In the current political

landscape in Canada, there work rights are paramount.

The Harper government is no friend to working people. Legislation that directly attacks unions, funding cuts to vital public services like health care, and the rise of temporary and precarious work is leaving many Canadians struggling to make ends meet.

It is no surprise that the Harper agenda has sent our economy back into recession, and the income gap between a small group of the wealthy and the rest of us has grown into an overwhelming gulf.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Working people are the backbone of the economy. And unions play a crucial role in creating a more equal society; ensuring working people receive fair wages, are healthy and safe at work, and can support their families and give back to their local economy.

This federal election is an opportunity to change

course.This is our chance to

elect a federal government that respects working people and will protect our basic rights and employment standards. It is our chance to elect a government that shares our values and believes in building an economy that works for everyone.

This Labour Day we need to reflect on where we came from. We need to remember the mass demonstrations, the strikes and the struggles and the victories they secured for working people right across this country.

And we need to commit to electing a government that respects this history.

In Metro Vancouver, join us on Sept. 7 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby to celebrate Labour Day. This free event will have food, activities for kids and entertainment from the legendary band Chilliwack! Everyone is welcome.

Celebrating the economic and social achievements of workers


LABOUR DAY

In today’s age, we “vote” for things we like all the time: who wore it best;

who sang it best; which cat video is the best. We “like” posts on Facebook, we sign online petitions, we show support by retweeting tweets or following people on Twitter. Yet during the last federal election in 2011, only 61.1 per cent of eligible voters in Canada bothered to vote.

The right to vote is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. People around the world are still actively fighting for that right, in some cases, risking their lives to be able to vote.

The ability to vote is a defining characteristic of living in a democracy like Canada. Unions are an important force for democracy, not just in the workplace, but beyond.

Labour Day recognizes the worker and celebrates the labour union movement. This Labour Day, the concept of democracy is an important concept to contemplate

as we head into a federal election.

In this part of the world, United Way and Labour have worked together to change lives for the better for more than 30 years. The power of the individual and the collective is the lifeblood of democracy and underlines United Way’s credo: we believe that everyone who lives here should have access to opportunities to build a better life for themselves.

With the incredible support from individual donors (many who are members of local unions), United Way moves families from poverty to possibility, helps kids be all that they can be, and builds strong communities. United Way of the Lower Mainland touches the lives of hundreds of thousands of people a year investing in more than 150 local agencies and 300 programs and services across Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, and the Sea to Sky corridor.

We all share in the

responsibility to create neighbourhoods and communities that we are proud to call home. When we work together, we can make incredible things happen.

So hold up your end of the bargain. On Labour Day, enjoy the day off, and take a couple of minutes to make sure you are registered to vote.

Then on Oct. 19, do your community a favour: vote.

2015 Labour Day


LABOUR DAY

Though millions of Canadians now see the first Monday

in September as one last opportunity to enjoy some summer recreation with friends and family members, Labour Day is symbolic of much more than long weekends and backyard barbecues.

Labour Day was inspired in large part by Canada’s growing industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, when competition for work in the nation’s rapidly growing cities was fierce and workers who complained of long workweeks or poor working conditions could easily be replaced.

Such was the case in Toronto in 1872, when printers threatened to strike after years of lobbying for shorter workweeks. Those protests went ignored, and on March 25, 1872, the city’s printers went on strike.

Within weeks, other

workers in the city began to support the printers, whose strike had interrupted Toronto’s thriving publishing industry. Within three weeks of the printers going on strike, 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto. The number of marchers gradually grew, and eventually 10 percent of the city’s population, or 10,000 people, had joined in the march that culminated at Queen’s Park.

But the striking workers’ efforts did not go unchallenged, as Toronto Globe founder George Brown replaced his printers with workers from nearby towns and even took legal action to put an end to the strike and have its organizers arrested for criminal conspiracy.

But Prime Minister John A. MacDonald, who worked on the opposite side of the political aisle as Brown, spoke out against the publisher’s

efforts during a public demonstration at City Hall. MacDonald eventually passed the Trade Union Act, decriminalizing trade unions, and set the leaders of the strike free.

Though many printers who walked out never regained their jobs, and those that did still did not earn shorter workweeks, their efforts did mark an important step forward with regard to worker’s rights in Canada. The movement that had started in Toronto soon spread to other Canadian cities, where workers also demanded shorter workweeks.

Other cities also adopted parades in honour of the march that first caught the attention of MacDonald in 1872, and in 1894 then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson officially declared Labour Day a national holiday.

LABOUR DAY

CUPE members will be gathering across the country with

family and friends to celebrate another Labour Day on Monday, Sept. 7.

While the day has always been one to reflect on the progress we’ve made as working people, this year many of our minds are clearly focused on the future.

This Labour Day will mark the start of the final push towards a historic federal election. As we celebrate the contributions made by working people in both the workplace and in our communities, we can see on the horizon the very real chance of electing our first New Democrat federal government.

We have never been closer. Only six weeks separates us from realizing

what the labour movement envisioned when we helped found the NDP — a federal government that will put the interests of working people first.

Many CUPE members and activists have already been hard at work in the opening weeks of this unusually long campaign. Thousands who took the pledge to help the NDP over the past year have already been canvasing, making phone calls, putting up signs, and talking with their neighbours about the issues important to working people and our communities.

But there is still much to do.

We are urging every CUPE member who cares about their pensions and the retirement security of millions of Canadians to

help get out the message and get out the vote. We need those who want affordable and accessible child care and are concerned about protecting our public health care system to give a day to volunteer. And our party – the NDP – needs the support of every CUPE member who wants a federal government that will help build a sustainable economy with good paying jobs.

We hope you all enjoy this Labour Day, and enjoy a well deserved long weekend. And hope you’ll join us revived and refreshed for the last weeks of this campaign.

In solidarity.Paul Moist

BACK TO SCHOOL

Justin [email protected]

It’s usually students who get a reading list their first week back at school, but here’s some suggested reading for parents: Insider’s Guide to K-12 Education in BC: What every parent and educator needs to know.

The book is written by three B.C. principals, David Mushens, vice-principal at Ecole Cariboo Hill; David Starr, principal at Byrne Creek; and Faizel Rawji of Sunnyside elementary in Surrey.

Published by Pacific Education Press, it provides parents — and educators — answers to all sorts of important questions about B.C. schools, everything from what makes a good school good to how parents can choose the right programs for their kids to dealing with issues like bullying and life online for students.

Mushens says as principals they field a steady stream of questions from parents — and oftentimes parents are continually asking the same types of questions.

“We answer these questions so much we thought clearly we’re lacking a guide, a place for people to look,” he said.

The trio of educators first met around 15 years ago when they were all teaching in the Coquitlam school district and have remained in contact.

Whenever they got together, inevitably they’d talk shop.

And often they’d discuss the questions that parents routinely asked them.

“It just really came from there — there really isn’t really anything that talks to parents, primarily, about how systems work. So when parents come into our office when they are upset or they are confessed, a lot of it just comes from

they don’t have the information that they need and like any system,” said Mushens. “Whether it’s medical or school or whatever, we all sort of have our own jargon because we live in it so we know. What we set out to do was ‘OK, let us try and demystify some of the things that you’re thinking about as you head into school.’”

Along with teaching parents to navigate the school system, it also teaches them how to access rescuers and support. It’s also an invaluable tool for educators to help parents.

The book covers Kindergarten to Grade 12.

“Typically we figure there are going to be people in the early stages ‘OK, how do I pick a school’ and then how do I navigate once I’m in and that leads us right through into secondary.”

• Insider’s Guide to K-12 Education in B.C. is available at Kids Books, or online at www.pacificedpress.educ.ubc.ca and theinsidersguide.ca.

New Westminster’s Ryan Phelps and Moving Mirror Productions are getting set to host its first event.

Diamond in the Rough: Scenes and Songs from Broadway, is a benefit evening of song, dance and theatre on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. The benefit will help raise funds to assist Moving Mirror in its first junior theatre production in 2016.

“Theatre had a huge impact on my life because it brought me to a group of like minded people who all worked together to create something amazing and have fun doing it,” said

Phelps. “This is especially true of musical theatre. It’s so ridiculously fun just bursting into song at any moment. Kids should have the chance to be part of theatre. They have fun, make friends, and be part of something bigger than themselves.”

For years Phelps, an elementary school music specialist and passionate theatre lover has dreamed of one day launching his own non-profit theatre company.

In January, he travelled to Atlanta to the Theatrics Junior Musical Theatre Festival where the magnitude of what they were trying to accomplish,

gave him the kick-start needed to launch his company.

With helps from his family and friends, Moving Mirror Productions was founded.

Tickets for the benefit night can be purchased on-line at: http://movingmirrorproductions.weebly.com.

Her 63-year and seven-month rule will surpass that of her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria and to mark this momentous occasion, the City of New Westminster will be celebrating with an outdoor event at city hall.

“New Westminster has a history with the monarchy,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “Queen Victoria chose the name New Westminster, which is why we’re known as the Royal City. That makes this celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign especially meaningful. Queen Elizabeth II has paid an official visit to New Westminster city hall. Her

signature is in the Mayor’s guest book.”

The event will begin at noon with remarks from both Mayor Jonathan Coté and representatives from The Monarchist League of Canada. Following the remarks there will be three firings of the Ancient and Honorable Anvil Battery, and the United Empire Loyalists’ Association will display of photos and artifacts from their travelling exhibit in honour of the Monarch. The Canadian Club of New Westminster will be serving tea and cookies.

“Her Majesty is admired throughout the world for her life-long dedication to duty and the citizens of the Commonwealth,” said Greg Blue, acting chair

of the Greater Vancouver Area Branch, Monarchist League of Canada. “She is a constant friend of Canadians through all the ups and downs of our nation’s life. For most of us alive today, she is the only monarch we have ever known, and in this uncertain, fast-paced world, she serves as an enduring symbol of stability and security. This day is a time for celebration in Her honour.”

Members of the public are invited to the event at the front steps of City Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at noon. Those attending are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather, as the ceremony will be held outside rain or shine.

New Westminster Police are hoping the public can help them identify a man believed responsible for several thefts at Moody Park Arena.

According to a police report, on Aug. 15 a man entered the locker area of Moody Park Arena where he allegedly stole a number of wallets and cellphones.

Police say he then went on to allegedly fraudulently use credit cards and ID stolen to commit a number of frauds in New Westminster and Burnaby.

The man is described as a dark complexioned male, 30 to 40 years old, thin build, wearing a dark blue baseball hat and heavy gold necklace. He was also wearing an identifiable T-shirt with a gold religious figure and a dark athletic coat with white sleeves.

If you recognize this suspect please call New West Police at 604-525-5411 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster Hyacks ball carrier Stewart Phillips struggles for yardage as he’s hauled down by a pair of Ridge-Meadows Knights tacklers in the fourth quarter of their Vancouver Minor Football League junior bantam exhibition game, Saturday at Mercer Stadium.


New Westminster’s Justin Morneau could be back with the Colorado Rockies by the weekend.

Morneau, the defending National League batting champion, hasn’t swatted a Major League pitch in anger since May 13, when he suffered a whiplash injury and concussion diving for a ball in a game against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. It’s the third time the 34-year-old first baseman has missed games because of a concussion in his Major League career.

On Monday Morneau completed a rehabilitation assignment with the Rockies’ Double-A affiliate, the New Britain Rock Cats. He had six hits in 13 at bats over four games, including a game-winning homerun Saturday that snapped a 1-1 tie between the Rock Cats and the visiting Portland Sea Dogs.

Morneau is expected to return to Denver on Thursday to be reevaluated by the Rockies to determine if he’s well enough to rejoin the big league club to finish out the season, according to the Denver Post.

“Justin wants to try and get back out there with us this season,” Rockies’ manager Walt Weiss told the Post. “We are going to do whatever we can for the guy. It’s good that he’s out there playing again.”

Morneau is under contract to the Rockies through this season with a $9 million option to return next year. If the Rockies, or Morneau, elect not to exercise the option, Morneau will be paid out $750,000 and become a free agent.

Morneau grew up in New Westminster and played junior baseball in Delta before he was selected in the third round of the 1999 entry draft as a backcatcher by the Minnesota

Twins. He then spent most of the next three years in the Twins’ minor league system, including parts of three seasons in New Britain when the Sea Dogs were affiliated with the Twins.

“I got to spend a lot of time here and this is where I gained the confidence to believe I could be a Major League player,” Morneau told the New Britain Herald.

Morneau made his Major League debut in 2003 and went on to become one of the most accomplished Canadians to ever play. He was the American League’s most valuable player in 2006 and the runner-up in 2008. He was named to the All-Star team four times and represented Canada at the 2006, 2009 and 2013 World Baseball Classic.

Morneau was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates late in the 2013 season then signed a two-year deal with the Rockies that December.

New Westminster minor hockey product Ryan Spencer is suiting up close to home this season.

On Friday, the Port Moody Panthers of the Pacific Junior Hockey League announced they had signed Spencer for the 2015/16 season.

“Ryan is the type of player who leads by example,” said Panthers director of hockey development and head coach Ron Johnson. “He is very good offensively, brings some size and an excellent compete level to our team.”

Spencer said he likes to use his strength and speed on the ice to make smart decisions.

I’m a team player and just as happy to get an assist as I am to get a goal,” he said.

The 17-year-old played for his hometown Midget Tier 2 Royals in 2014/15 as they won the BC Hockey Midget Tier 2 Provincial championship this past March. He was also affiliated with the North Van Wolf Pack of the PJHL, but didn’t get

into any games.“I’m excited about

playing in Port Moody with the Panthers because I’ve heard good things about coach Johnson and the Panthers organization,” he added. “I’ve worked hard to get to junior hockey. I feel I’m in a great place to take my game to the next level and to continue to develop.”

Spencer had 27 points (15 goals, 12 assists) in 42 combined regular season and playoff games, and added five points (two goals, three assists) in five games during the provincial championship tournament.

“Now that I’ve signed with Port Moody, my goal is to work hard on and off the ice and improve all aspects of my game,” Spencer said “Winning the Provincial Championship last season with New Westminster showed me what you can accomplish with hard work, and working together as a team.”

#throwbackthursday

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEWith the Woodlands mental health hospital closed and fully decommissioned, the property’s owner, BC Buildings Corp. prepared a new vision for the 65-acre site, to be presented to New West council in April, 2002. The project’s designer, Richard Bernstein of Architectura, said Woodlands would become home to 1,270 units of housing, most of them in four high-rise towers, along with commercial space near Royal Avenue. The project could also include housing for seniors and the New Westminster school board was assessing the need for a new school on the site. Fraser Health Authority also sought a sizeable chunk of the property to build a 150-unit, multi-level care facility, a 30-bed dementia centre, a 100-bed assisted living facility and a seniors outreach clinic.

Every Thursday, users of the social media platform Twitter revisit the past by posting old photos and recollections recalling former triumphs or moments of infamy. The weekly viral exchange is called #throwbackthursday, or #tbt by those looking to conserve a few of the

140 characters allowed in Twitter posts.With an archive going back more than

25 years, the NewsLeader has plenty to throw back. Every week we feature one #throwbackthursday in the NewsLeader.but there are more available on the Twitter feed @newsleaderfotog.

New Westminster’s most celebrated visual artist, the late Joe Plaskett, will have 20 of his works on display at the New Westminster Public Library.

The 11 pastel drawings and nine oil paintings depict New Westminster streets and vistas. These works were acquired over many years through a combination of gifts and purchases, in conjunction with several shows the artist held at the library in the 1970s.

The oil paintings will be available to view on

the second floor during library hours in September and October. The pastel drawings, located in the Plaskett Room, may be viewed if the room is not in use. Visitors will be able to enter a draw for a copy of Plaskett’s biography, A Speaking Likeness, signed by the artist.

The exhibit commemorates the first anniversary of Plaskett’s death, in September 2014, at the age of 96, and is mounted as part of the library’s 150th Anniversary celebrations.
