Food serviceset for park

Refreshments will be served atWestminster Pier Park this summer– but it’s yet to be determined whatwill be on the menu.

“We think it’s a priority to havesome sort of service down there, sothe thousands of people visiting thepark on a sunny day can have a full-er experience,” said Dean Gibson,the city’s director of parks, cultureand recreation.

The expression of interest for theleasing opportunity closed on Feb.20. Staff is doing some “interimwork” and anticipates reportingback to council by the end of themonth.

“We had a great deal of interestin the actual expressions of interest,”Gibson said.

Because the full-service foodoperation wasn’t set up last summer,Tourism New Westminster part-nered with the city for a short timeto sell drinks and snacks to parkgoers.

Last summer, several membersof city council voiced concern aboutthe idea of leasing the concessionspace to a private operator ratherthan operating it as a city concessionas is done in other municipal facili-ties.

Gibson noted that a private oper-ator may be able to offer a “differentambience.”

◗ON THE WATERFRONT

A walk on the dock: The new waterfront Pier Park in New Westminster doesn’t get the traffic in winter that it will get in the summer.To prepare the park for summertime fun, the city will be adding food service via a yet-to-be-determined operator.

City wants stats to see if residents are rightThe City of New Westminster is eagerly

awaiting statistics about trips across thePattullo Bridge to see if they back up resi-dents’ reports of increased traffic.

TransLink has yet to provide the citywith statistics about trips across thePattullo Bridge, but residents from across

New Westminster are reporting increasedtraffic since tolls were introduced on thePort Mann Bridge.

“At least in terms of the evening rushhour, I think the city has met its capacity,”said acting Mayor Jaimie McEvoy.

“We are hearing from various residents’groups that they are experiencing high-er traffic volumes,” said Jim Lowrie, the

city’s director of engineering. “Generallyspeaking, we are hearing anecdotally thatthere is an increase of traffic on our arterialstreets.”

Lowrie said the city “strongly believes”that trucks should be using the Port Mannand not the Pattullo Bridge.

“You have to make it desirable,” he saidof the Port Mann Bridge. “You have to

provide incentives for truckers to use PortMann Bridge.”

Lowrie said that can be achievedthrough “favourable toll rates” on the PortMann Bridge or by making the PattulloBridge less desirable to trucks by tollingthe bridge. He also said regulations couldbe imposed restricting the type of truck

travelling on the Pattullo Bridge.Currently, trucks must pay $9 per cross-

ing of the Port Mann Bridge, as they aren’teligible for daytime discounts on the tolls.They receive a 50-per-cent discount on thetoll between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

“The lane widths are substandard.Trucks typically use more than one lane,”Lowrie said about the Pattullo. “The otheris the structural concern.”

TransLink’s website states that the 75-year-old Patttullo Bridge is deteriorat-ing and needs to be replaced. The bridgedoesn’t meet current road design guidelinesand seismic standards and has deterioratedand corroded because of time, weather andother factors, says the website.

TransLink officials and representativesfrom the cities of New Westminster andSurrey have formed a committee to con-sider the Pattullo Bridge issue.

The City of Surrey told The VancouverSun that it had recorded a 28.4-per-centincrease in trucks on the Pattullo Bridge thefirst week after tolls took effect on the PortMann, while the B.C. Truckers Associationreported a 25-per-cent increase in truck traf-fic on the Pattullo Bridge from January 2012to January 2013. The truckers’ associationtold The Vancouver Sun it couldn’t pinpointwhere those truck trips had originated.

“If there is any increase in truck traffic onPattullo Bridge, it could be coming from thePort Mann or Delta Port,” said Jim Lowrie,the city’s director of engineering. “We arelooking forward to receiving those num-bers and analyzing them.”

Lowrie is most interested in statisticsfrom February 2012 and 2013.

“We have to keep in mind the Port MannBridge has only been open for two-and-a-half months. The data from December, andpossibly January, may not be representativeof typical situations because of the holidaysand the time of year,” he said. “I am veryinterested to see what February’s numbersare comparing to previous years.”

Although TransLink has yet to providethe city with statistics about traffic volumeson the Pattullo Bridge, the city has receivedplenty of anecdotal evidence from residentssuggesting it’s increasing.

“If there is a minor glitch anywhere, we

see a total slowdown in New Westminster,”McEvoy said. “It’s much worse than before.The other traditional problem that is increas-ing is ratrunning through neigbbourhoods.We had a woman come to council in tearsbecause she couldn’t get out of her alley.”

McEvoy suspects truck drivers areavoiding tolls and detours onto the PortMann Bridge on the south side of the cross-ing. He said the increase in traffic in NewWestminster has coincided with tolls on thePort Mann Bridge.

“You don’t have direct access,” he said.“It creates a nuisance for trucks. That situa-

tion on the Port Mann needs to be correct-ed. You need to have a direct way onto PortMann from South Fraser Perimeter Road.”

New Westminster city council has raisedconcerns that South Fraser Perimeter Road,a goods movement corridor on the southside of the Fraser River, doesn’t include adirect connection to the Port Mann Bridge.

Rather than driving the 23 kilometersneeded to get onto the highway to accessthe Port Mann Bridge, the city worries thattruckers would prefer to take the nine-kilometre route to the non-tolled PattulloBridge.

A blog about newsthat doesn’t always

fit in print

Do you support the city’s plan to putmoney into reserves to pay for future proj-ects like Canada Games Pool and MasseyPerforming Arts Theatre? Do you wantthe city to reduce the tax increase from theproposed 2.9 per cent hike? What do youthink of the city’s plan to set money asidethis year to minimize the financial impactsof Anvil Centre in future years?

Anyone with thoughts on these or otherbudget-related issues is invited to attendthe March 11 city council meeting, whenfinance director Gary Holowatiuk will out-line the 2013-to-2017 financial plan andcouncil will hear delegations about thebudget.

New Westminster city council has givenapproval in principle to a draft budget thatproposes a 2.9 per cent tax increase in 2013.

The operational budget started witha zero per cent property tax, somethingstaff attributes to “an exceptional year for

new construction” in the city. The propertytaxes generated by new construction offsetincreases related to annual wage incre-ments and additional resources for newservices in the expanded QueensboroughCommunity Centre.

It was at that point that council beganconsidering funding requests for items toaddress workload challenges or new high-priority initiatives. Once those items wereeither approved or rejected, council was leftwith the 2.9 per cent tax increase.

Council has agreed to put $500,000into a facility replacement reserve to dealwith replacement/renewal of CanadaGames Pool, $200,000 into a reserve for thefuture Massey Performing Arts Centre and$400,000 into a “rate stabilization” reserveto minimize tax increases related to AnvilCentre in future years.

Council also approved funding for anumber of items deemed to be high priorityor to deal with workload challenges. Theseincluded funds for a public art reservefund, a dog licence canvassing program,

and $54,000 for enhancements to the com-munity energy and emissions plan so staffcan focus on six priority initiatives.

“I think this is an important initiative.It is paying dividends,” said Coun. ChuckPuchmayr. “I think we have reduced ourgreenhouse gas emissions by about 450,000tonnes a year now. We need to continue towork towards that. I think this is moneywell spent.”

Council also approved a new full-timebuilding service worker at the police sta-tion.

Since moving into the building onColumbia Street, staff say there has beenlittle increase in the cleaning services andit’s felt that increased cleaning will providea more effective control of infection andcross-contamination to keep police staffhealthy.

“The police building has been in oper-ation for a number of years,” said JimLowrie, director of engineering. “We havealways been a little shy on the cleaning staffin that facility, and we see more and more

complaints from the staff.”City council also approved $27,000 in

salaries and benefits for expanding theinsurance coordinator position from four tofive days a week.

Rick Page, director of legislative services,said the insurance coordinator’s workloadhas increased “significantly” in the pastthree years.

“We have more property damage claimsthan we have ever experienced,” he said.“Similar to our FOI (freedom of informa-tion) issues, we have a lot of people in thecity making claims, legitimate or not, andeach claim has to be examined and dealtwith through the process.”

Page said the insurance coordinatordeals with issues such as people falling intopotholes, claims from leaky condo issuesand city staff backing vehicles into fences.He said the insurance coordinator allowsthe city to bypass legal counsel at times.

“That could be one claim that could costus that,” Puchmayr said. “I will supportthis.”

Bridge: Trucks too big for narrow lanes on Pattullo

Crossing: Truck traffic increased on the Pattullo Bridge by 28.4 per cent the first week after tolls were introduced on the PortMann Bridge, according to the City of Surrey. New West residents also say traffic volumes on the Pattullo are increasing.

Police join response teamNew Westminster has taken another

step in the evolution of the municipalpolice department, this time joiningwith the RCMP Lower Mainland DistrictEmergency Response Team.

Two New Westminster police offi-cers will now work as part of the LowerMainland team, working with teams fromacross the district and attending to situa-tions as required. The officers will con-tinue to work out of New Westminster.

The agreement became official Jan. 21,when the department signed a memoran-dum of understanding with the RCMP.

“The move by the NWPD to the RCMPLMD ERT team is seen as the next step inthe evolution of providing quality pub-lic safety services to the citizens of NewWestminster,” said police Chief DaveJones, in a press release.

The change comes after the MunicipalIntegrated Emergency Response Team wasdisbanded at the end of 2012.

“The next step in having access to a full-time, well-trained and equipped team wasa natural progression that has occurred ina rather seamless manner for our mem-bers,” Jones said.

The decision to join with the LowerMainland team comes after the policedepartment explored a variety of options,considering costs and benefits to the com-munity, said Sgt. Diana McDaniel.

“The response we’ve had so far hasbeen excellent,” McDaniel said. “Any timewe’ve needed ERT as part of our calls,they’ve been prompt and responsive andso far it’s working very, very well.”

No public art coordinatorto oversee city program

New Westminster staff will have to con-tinue providing public art functions “on awing and a prayer” after a staffing positionwas nixed by city council.

As part of the 2013 budget,staff had sought funding to hirea public art coordinator andto create a public art reservefund. Council approved allo-cating $130,000 into a publicart reserve fund but opposedspending $39,000 to hire an aux-iliary public art coordinator atthis time.

“That gives me a bit of con-cern,” said Coun. Jonathan Cote.“If it was a million-dollar publicart program, I could see havinga dedicated staff person.”

Last November, NewWestminster city council sup-ported a public art policy, whichincluded aims to help see thecretin of public art and providestandards for permanent, tem-porary development projects inNew Westminster.

“The notion behind that is we have beenattempting to do public art coordinator

functions off the side of our desks with abit of a wing and a prayer for the last year-and-a-half or so,” said Dean Gibson, thecity’s director of parks, culture and recrea-tion. “We have had some modest success inbeing able to bring forward programs.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr saidhe’d rather hold off on fund-ing the coordinator’s positionuntil the city receives casinorevenues that are helping tobuild the new civic centre anduntil the office tower on top ofAnvil Centre is sold.

“The structure itself is a workof public art,” said Puchmayr,adding that the Wait for MeDaddy statue that’s beingplanned is also a form of publicart.

Though council opposedfunding the position, it support-ed contributing to the fund.

“The figure in that policyspoke to about $2 per residentin the community being con-tributed into the reserve fund,”Gibson said. “While that policyhas been adopted, the actualaction on the financial side

would come about through the approval ofthe adoption of the budget.”


“The notionbehind that iswe have beenattempting todo public artcoordinatorfunctions offthe side of ourdesks with a bitof a wing and aprayer …”

Knock, knock. Who’s there?It’s the federal government.Unfortunately, that line has struck

a number of people as less than funny,after the feds sent workers to the homesof Employment Insuranceclaimants to check on them.

Ottawa claims the visits areneeded to protect Canada’s EIprogram from fraud, althoughit’s hard to see how a house visit couldaccomplish that.

Most job coaches will say that sittingat home isn’t the best way of findingwork.

The program smacks of intimidationand does little that couldn’t be accom-

plished by picking up thephone. It also focuses energyin entirely the wrong place.

Most people who are unem-ployed would prefer to be

working. Fact is, the economic recoveryhas been painfully slow over the past

several years.Despite the fact EI is an insurance

program that workers pay into, thefederal government has in recent yearsmade it more difficult to qualify forbenefits and cut the length of time bene-fits are received.

None of which has done anything tohelp those who find themselves out ofwork through no fault of their own.

Contrast this with the kid glove treat-ment recently afforded to Conservative

senators who have apparently beenclaiming false residences in order to col-lect a special housing allowance at tax-payers’ expense.

Recently Senator Mike Duffy saidhe’d repay tens of thousands of dollarsin housing allowance after falsely claim-ing a cottage in Prince Edward Islandwas his principal residence.

Seems a few folks in the RedChamber could benefit from a govern-ment-sponsored house call.

B.C. families needbetter policies

Although Canadians maydisagree about a lotof things, most share

a common aspiration to lookafter aging fam-ily members andgive a good start toyounger ones.

That’s whygrowing numbersfrom all walksof life have beeninspired to join theGeneration Squeezecampaign. They arechatting, texting, facebooking,tweeting, emailing, gathering,partying and petitioning in com-mon cause to give all genera-tions a chance. They do so out ofconcern that governments pit thehealth of grandparents againstthe well-being of their kids andgrandchildren when govern-ments budget around $45,000annually per retiree, comparedto just $12,000 per person underthe age of 45.

The Generation Squeezecampaign’s goal is simple – toshine a light on the spendingimbalance between youngerCanadians and retirees so itbecomes part of the campaignconversation in advance of theB.C. election on May 14. We pur-sue this goal because spendingon younger generations – wheth-er for family, housing, education,environmental conservation, etc.– will be in short supply untilpolitical parties acknowledgethe large spending gap betweengenerations.

Although the spending gap is

large, the problem isn’t spend-ing on seniors. Twenty-nine percent of Canadian seniors werepoor in 1976. But because we

now allocate $45,000per retiree, primar-ily to their medicalcare and retirementincome security,we’ve reduced pov-erty among seniors toaround five per cent –lower than any otherage group today.

This policy successfor seniors is personal to me. Mygrandmother is 97 and in hos-pital as I write this column. Shewould have been poor almostmy entire life had Canadiansnot invested in medical care andpublic pensions for her and mil-lions of others.

But my grandmother doesn’twant investment in retirees tocome at the expense of adaptingpolicy to meet new challengesfacing the generations who walkin her footsteps. Young people’swages are down around 18 percent, despite devoting moretime to post-secondary than anyprevious generation. With lowerwages, they must pay hous-ing prices that are 150 per centhigher. This means the typicalyoung person must work 15years to save a 20 per cent downpayment on an average hometoday. A generation ago, it tookonly five years. So you can seewhy younger generations feelsqueezed between time andmoney pressures.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Poverty a major social problemDear Editor:

Much has been written lately about poverty,including lots of statistics, rational arguments, con-sternation and, with our recession and a probablefurther economic bubble or slowdown, it’s going toget worse.

It is an absolute disgrace and an outrage thatin a rich country and in a rich province like B.C.,we have 500,000 people living in poverty at lastcount, the highest poverty rate in Canada; 119,000of them children. Remember the unanimous voteof our federal Parliament in 1989 to put an end tochild poverty by 2000? What happened to our moralobligation to do the right thing? Did we forget? Wasit no longer a pledge to be honoured by our electedparliamentarians? Does it no longer matter that wehave children going to bed and to school hungry?

Our social resources in this country in the mostrecent analysis by the Conference Board of Canadaexposes the persistent failure to reverse rising ratesof both poverty and income inequality. It is mostdisturbing as a parent and grandparent to find thechild poverty rate at 15.1 per cent higher than itwas in the mid-1990s. Alarming also is the povertyrate for senior citizens in Canada. It has increasedsharply in the last 15 years, from 2.9 per cent to 6.7per cent.

The conference board report also quotes theOrganization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment, saying: “Failure to tackle the povertyand exclusion facing millions of families and theirchildren is not only socially reprehensible, but itwill also weigh heavily on our country’s capacity tosustain economic growth in years to come.”

for military hardware, such as F35 fighterjets, killing machines, but no money toalleviate poverty, homelessness and hun-ger.

Exacerbating this is the problem of taxloophole avoidance and offshore havens,allowing the rich and their corporations tobecome unbelievably wealthy on the backsand misery of everyone else. A recent sur-vey revealed the richest 10 per cent amongus own 94 per cent of the wealth.

Further proof of the problem of povertyis the increased use of food banks, up by31 per cent since 2008. People seek helpand when governments don’t fill the void,they sometimes, in desperation, end upbegging in the streets.

I remember when I made a gift ofmoney to a beggar in China, I was pointed-ly told by our interpreter it was not neces-sary, as they were looked after by society.My immediate reply was that if they wereproperly looked after, they wouldn’t haveto beg.

I believe the same applies to the peoplebegging in the streets of New Westminster.It is not only in New Westminster; beggingis becoming more and more prevalenteverywhere you go.

I believe these people have as much

right to the sidewalk as any other citizen,expressing their need for help, particularlyas welfare and disability rates are totallyinadequate and have not been raised formore than five years.

Rather than kick people off the streets,as some suggest, maybe we should be ask-ing why they are on the streets begging inthe first place, and why we have so littlecompassion for those less fortunate.

Contrary to those who complain aboutbeggars being aggressive and rude, I havefound no such problem.

I have found them to be generally with-drawn and very appreciative if given acontribution or recognition of their cir-cumstances. Maybe it’s time to look in themirror and see who we are and what kindof society we are part of and responsiblefor.

Maybe we should each realize thatthere but for the grace of God or fate walkI, and that we are our brothers’ and sisters’keepers.

Maybe we need a new economy if crit-ical economic, social and environmentalgoals are to be met.

Maybe we need new government com-mitted to the needs of society, not justto the rich with their bought and paid-for politicians, lobbyists, corporations andorganized greed.

For many, this time andmoney squeeze happensaround the same timethey’d like to start theirown families. The problemis, they can’t work theirway out of the squeezewithout compromisingtime at home when theirkids are young. But if theytake this time, many com-promise the financial foun-dation they’ve patchedtogether by devoting moretime to the labour market.

Fortunately, there aresolutions. The GenerationSqueeze campaign pin-points three policies toreduce the squeeze forthose who someday want,or already have, youngchildren:

First, make it afford-able for parents to spend18 months at home witha newborn. Many todaydon’t even have 12months, whereas a genera-tion ago it was commonfor a parent to stay homeseveral years.

Second, build $10 perday child care. Today, the

cost is often more thanuniversity tuition, whereasthe majority of familiesdidn’t incur these costsa generation ago when itwas more affordable for aparent to stay home untilkids started school andthere was less concernabout gender inequality.

These two policieswould save the typicalfamily about $50,000 dur-ing their children’s firstfive years and support athird change, making 70hour work weeks – downfrom 80 – affordable.

Lone parents could dobetter than they do nowwith just one earner. Ageneration ago it was com-mon to get by with oneparent working 40 hours.

By saving about$50,000, young familiescould pay off an averagestudent debt and reducethe time it takes to save a20 per cent down paymenton a home in an averageschool district by fouryears. Or they could paydown the mortgage fasteror invest it as savings that

would be worth $141,000by the time Gen Squeezeretires.

These three policy chan-ges are a pragmatic solu-tion to the lower wages,student debt and higherhousing prices with whichyounger generations nowstruggle. Their cost onlyrequires narrowing thegenerational spending gapslightly.

The Hyack FestivalAssociation is aiming to bebigger, better and more rel-

evant than ever before.The association’s festival

schedule for 2013 includes: HyackFestival (May 17 to 26); Key WestFord Hyack International Parade(May 25); Uptown Live (May 25);Canada Day Celebrations on thewaterfront (including fireworks);Concerts on the Quay; and theCIBC Christmas Parade of Lights(Dec. 7).

As part of a major restructur-ing of its core festivals and eventsin 2012, Hyack sought to makethe city’s’ major events morevibrant, contemporary and inclu-sive.

That restructuringeliminated FraserFest andthe Easter Antique CarParade, but introducednew events includingRiverFest, Concerts on theQuay and Uptown Live.

“Uptown Live willbe back for sure,” saidDouglas Smith, the asso-ciation’s executive direc-tor. “The concert serieson the boardwalk will beexpanded, and we will bepresenting a Canada Dayfire works spectacularon July 1. We stronglybelieve that’s the mostappropriate day for fireworks.”

The association’s signatureevent, the Hyack Festival andParade, will kick off the festivalseason.

“We are going full-out on thatagain,” Smith said. “We havebeen working really hard to out-reach for new applicants for theHyack International Parade. Weare trying to beef up participationin that parade.”

Smith said the association hasdone a thorough review of all thecategories in the parade, such asmascots, marching bands andcorporate participants, and isworking to ensure the best entriesparticipate.

“We’re going to take the sameapproach with the Christmasparade,” he said. “If we are goingto commit to these parades weare going to make them as goodas we possibly can. The feedbackfrom the community is they wantthem; they love them. The com-munity wants them so my atti-tude is we are going to give themthe best parades, we possible can.We are going to set the bar high.”

Throngs of young peopleflocked uptown last spring tolisten to popular indie bands atUptown Live, which followed theHyack International Parade.

“We have got three bandsthat are already confirmed: TheBelle Game, The Shilohs andBend Sinister featuring Moxonwho appeared last year on hisown,” Smith said. “We have gotoffer sheets in on several others,including the winner of the PeakPerformance Project.”

In addition to offering some“really cool and relevant activi-ties” such as entertainment and

skateboard and BMXdemonstrations, Smithsaid Hyack is workingon plans to create a bitof a food truck festival atUptown Live.

“We are reach-ing out to food trucksin Vancouver,” heexplained. “We are look-ing to bring in a wholefleet of food trucks.”

The City of NewWestminster will hold itsannual Canada Day fes-tivities in Queen’s Park,which features enter-tainment, a lunchboxauction and displays.

That evening, the Hyack FestivalAssociation will continue the funwith an event at Westminster PierPark from 4 to 11 p.m.

“ We want to introduce someprogramming at Pier Park thatculminates in fireworks at 10o’clock,” Smith said.

Concerts at the Quay arereturning for a second year onthe waterfront, featuring per-formers at Westminster Quay onSaturdays in July and August.

Ray Bonneville will performon July 13. In addition to win-ning a Juno award in 1999 andbeing nominated on two otheroccasions, his award-winningsong about the resilience of

New Orleans – I Am the Big Easy– received considerable airplay inthe United States.

The association will wrap upits 2013 festival season with theChristmas Parade of Lights andtree lighting.

“We are also looking toexpand festivities during theChristmas season. We wouldlike to program regular activi-ties at Hyack Square and otherareas of the community duringthe month of December,” Smithsaid. “The weather last year forthe Christmas Parade of Lightstaught us that it is dangerous tofocus all your resources on oneday. Spreading the programmingout makes sense, particularlywith respect to the economic ben-efits for retail merchants.”

A press release states theHyack Festival Association hasacted as the city’s arms-lengthevent management office since1971, producing numerous eventseach year, including the storiedHyack Festival in May.

“Over the past year, the mes-sage we have received fromcommunity stakeholders is toproduce less events but ensurethey are of high quality. That’sthe direction we have tried to fol-

low,” Smith said. “Our focus hasbeen to build individual eventbudgets to the levels that allowsus to produce a first-rate festival.Thankfully, our sponsors havesupported this vision and haveprovided the support necessaryto achieve our goals. Our mediapartners provided more than$150,000 worth of promotionalsupport last year and that reallyhelps put New Westminster onthe map regionally.”

According to Smith, the HyackFestival Association was able toexpand the amount of moneyspent directly on events by 33 percent.

“We are very proud of the factdirect spending on Hyack eventsincreased by $50,000 in 2012 from$160,000 to more than $210,000,”he said. “Last year, the City ofNew Westminster provided uswith a grant of $140,000.

“In effect we were able toleverage the city grant very effec-tively without the city having tocover any staff or administrativecosts. We were able to invest theincreased revenues back into theproduction of more appealingevents. The community reallybenefits when the grant fundingfrom the city is leveraged prop-

erly.”Smith believes the city is “get-

ting really good value” from itsgrant to Hyack.

“I look at it that the city isinvesting in us. We have to givethem a really good return on theirinvestment,” he said. “I think weare doing that.”

Smith believes the quality ofthe events being produced hasimproved in recent years.

Other changes in the worksinclude a new “corporate iden-tity” for the Hyack FestivalAssociation, as that would moveaway from some of the percep-tions that have built up in the last40 years.

“The problem with the nameis it pigeonholes us to an eventthat is held over a two-weekperiod in May,” Smith said ofthe Hyack Festival Associationname. “The name is restrictingus from properly branding andpromoting all the events that weproduce.”

In the meantime, Smith is stilllooking into future festival endea-vours for the association.

“I am looking at a couple ofother things as well,” he said. “Itis all about finding events that arerelevant and sustainable.”

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniorsand people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an activewoman. However, recent healthissues including osteoarthritis in herleft knee and losing kidney functionhave slowed her down. Her mobilityis limited and she is now on dialysisthree days a week. To adjust to herchanged circumstances, Brendasought help with her daily livingactivities.

Part of that help came from theHome Adaptations for Independence(HAFI) program offered throughBC Housing. Launched in January2012, the HAFI program providesfinancial assistance to help eligiblelow-income seniors and people withdisabilities adapt their homes so theycan continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-inbathtub because she couldn’t safelyget out of the tub on her own.Walk-in tubs include additional safetymeasures such as anti-slip floors,grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also includehandrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach workand storage areas in the kitchen,lever handles on doors or faucets,walk-in showers, and bathtub grabbars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for theprogram and has even shared HAFIbrochures with nurses in the renalunit where she undergoes dialysis.If you or someone you know ishaving difficulty performingday-to-dayactivities safely and independently –the HAFI programmay be able to help.

In 2012, HAFI provided financialassistance to more than 550 seniorsand people with disabilities, makingit possible for them to continueliving in the safety and comfort oftheir home.

In our research we havecome across wonder-ful descriptions of

local houses that give usmuch more than a simpleaccount of a building. Onesuch story from the local1882 and 1890 papers pro-vides us with great colour.

Referred to as the EwenVilla, the house was con-structed for AlexanderEwen, one of the leadersin the Fraser River sal-mon fishing industry andowner of several process-ing plants and canneries.The 1882 story says thetwo-storey building with

granite foundation was ofthe San Francisco style ofarchitecture.

The reporter’s descrip-tion was positive: “Theexterior is handsome tolook upon. The interior isthe perfection of conven-ience and comfort” andwhen completed it wouldbe “a thing of beauty.”

In 1890, this house wasundergoing some “altera-tions and improvements”under the direction ofarchitect, G. W. Grantand once again a storyappeared.

From other availableinformation, we know the1882 vintage house wasenlarged and embellishedfor the 1890 version andbecame, as the latter articlecalled it, “a palatial resi-dence.”

The home had featuresand ornamental additionsthat included many pieces

of stained glass, doubleglass doors in the hallway,highly polished woodpanels, a magnificent opentiled fireplace, a conserv-atory “spacious enoughto hold quite a flowergarden,” fresco art workon a ceiling, another opentiled fireplace with “pillarsof Mexican onyx,” and agrand stairway that was “astudy in decorative art.”

The new version ofthe Ewen home had alsograduated from beingsimply “a thing of beauty”to “one of the prettiestand most comfortablehouses in the Dominion ofCanada.”

And where was this“palatial thing of beauty”with the area in front of itcleared and looking out tothe river?

It was downtown atthe corner of Begbie Streetat Carnarvon where the

Russell Hotel, later theCollege Place Inn, wassituated.

The home was lost tothe city’s Great Fire of1898, but its siting cer-tainly adds an interestingpiece of local colour to thatpart of town.

In May, the HistoricalSociety will feature anillustrated presentationon the neighbourhoodof the Anvil Centre, andthe Ewen home will beincluded as it stood dir-ectly above the new civicbuilding location.

Hyackssecondat AAAmeet

They pushed it to thebrink.

The Hyack Swim Clubcame just a couple of racesshort of repeating as theB.C. provincial short coursechampions at last week’smeet in Victoria.

Hyack, which is basedout of Coquitlam, wasleading into the fourthand final day before ChenaSwim Club pulled away inone of the closest team titleraces.

A miniscule three-pointlead would evaporate overthe last handful of races,as Hyacks’ 30 swimmershad mostly completedtheir events, and the NorthVancouver-based rival stillhad a number of its 55swimmers in the water.

“It really came downto the final few races, wedidn’t have the numbers(Chema) did and the lastrace they had two whokind of took it away,”Hyack head coach MarkBottrill said.

Finishing second wasn’ta catastrophe, though.

“We’ve been hitting atthe top of the ranking forthe past three years andbeen in the top-three mixeach time,” said Bottrill.“Everybody stood upand contributed, from thefirst-year guys right out ofsummer swimming to theveterans who’ve been herebefore.”

Tim Stephens' Astral ReflectionsTim Stephens' Astral Reflections March 10 - 16, 2013March 10 - 16, 2013Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to rest, lielow, and contemplate the mysteries of the universe,especially Sunday/Monday, when you can be extratired. (These days might also bless you with agovernment-related breakthrough, an invitation tojoin management, or success with/in an institution.Your energy rises nicely Tuesday/Wednesday: tacklechores – more correctly, obligations – that havedaunted you previously. (E.g., visiting an unpleasantfamily member.) Chase money Thursday eve toSaturday – your luck’s mildly good, except earlyFriday. All week, avoid new starts. Seek (or give)therapy, advice.

Taurus April 20-May 20:Wishes can still come true,Taurus, if they connect to the past – e.g., hope I canmeet that attractive person again. An old social groupmight return. Life was once good, and it will be goodagain. Sunday/Monday, your popularity, optimism anddelight grow! But retreat for a second wind Tuesdayto Thursday noon; rest, contemplate (don’t plan) anddeal with agencies, government, head office, admintasks. Your energy surges Thursday afternoon toSaturday – your charisma gives you clout, the abilityto get things done. Call in favours. But DON’T startnew ventures or relationships.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new.The accent remains on your career, standing in thecommunity, dealing with bosses, VIPs and parents –and your own role in these. (E.g., how’s your parentinggoing?) You’re ambitious, and Sunday/Monday hint atthe birth of a new career venture. But let this “new”venture be a resurrection of a past, perhaps abandonedgoal – and enlist familiar people, not new faces. E.g., ifyou’ve wanted to operate heavy machinery for someyears, now you get the chance to proceed. Happiness,popularity, optimism fill midweek. Retreat for a goodrest Thursday eve to Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Intellectual, travel,cultural, religious or philosophical elements continueto guide you, especially Sunday/Monday,when these– and gentle love – tug your sleeve. However, startno new projects nor relationships before March 17 –stick with ongoing or past situations. Ambition kicksin Tuesday to Thursday noon – all looks smooth, buta “contrary element” lurks – perhaps a co-operatoror partner is against the creative elements you’veintroduced, but isn’t ready to say so, yet. Social joysenter Thursday p.m. to Saturday – popularity, wishfulfillment, light romance arrive.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A doorway to mystery facesyou – enter to collect clues about your subconsciousurges, directions, for the whole decade ahead. E.g.,visit a psychic, counsellor or advisor. Althoughyou should not begin any financial project (or ANYimportant project!) before March 17, this is anexcellent week – especially Sunday/Monday – toresearch, investigate and study the arenas youwant to operate in. E.g., study investments, butmake no choices before March 17. Your sexual urgeclimbs. Wisdom, gentle love visit you midweek.Show higher-ups what you can do, Thursday p.m.to Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Relationship’s “meaning”stands before you Sunday/Monday. You might renewa former link, in love or practical areas. But don’tbegin a new relationship – it would not last long,and be rather fruitless. Don’t begin anything newbefore March 17. Life’s mysteries, sexual drives,financial astuteness, health diagnoses, dreams andsubconscious urges fill midweek. (You’ve noticed,probably, that sex has changed – a friendly butunpredictable note, and some stress, has enteredthis area. A far different relationship awaits you, andthis is part of the river pushing you toward it.)

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wrap up outstandingchores this week – start Sunday/Monday, don’tdelay! March 20 will begin a month of newopportunities, horizons, and perhaps, relationships.Do the work now, so you’ll be free to pursue thesebright new things when they come. Finish only– don’t start anything (or anybody) new beforeMarch 17. Midweek gives you a clue about lateMarch/April: relationships flow smoothly (though,almost unseen, a deep change in your home affectsrelationships, and will, all this decade). Mysteries,sexual urges, financial exigencies fill Thursday noononward. Someone’s coming!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Midweek (Tuesday-Thursday) brings chores, hints that a major new taskor employment lies ahead. But start nothing beforeMarch 17. Meanwhile, romance, creative urges,pleasure and beauty, risk and reward fill this week. Butlet it be an ongoing romance (or contact an old flame).In risk, taking a position in the stock market, thenclearing it in a day or three, wins – but buying to holdcan disappoint. All these wonderful things – romance,creativity, winning, et al – blossom splendidly Sunday/Monday. Relationships fill Thursday noon to Saturday.Be flexible, diplomatic and eager.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent continueson home, nest egg, security, kids, nutrition, retirement,gardening and nature. Avoid new starts in these or anyarea this week. Instead, especially Sunday/Monday,renew family contacts, shore up old landscaping,restart abandoned repairs, or deal with ongoingsituations. Your romantic (and beauty) sensors comealive Tuesday to Thursday: treat this as a hint of what’sto come (very soon, after March 19) rather than as“the thing itself.” If you’re in a relationship, enjoy it!Work and health concerns arrive Thursday noon toSaturday: all’s smooth.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent continueson communications, details, paperwork, applicationsand reports, short trips, casual acquaintances. This isa talk period, not a do period. DON’T start anything,especially Sunday/Monday, and especially in thesezones. E.g., don’t buy a mobile phone or order printedstationery, etc. This is not merely a delay: it hints, to adegree, that you simply should not be expanding thisarea at all this year. Sink into your home, soul, deepestthoughts midweek: contemplate where you’re reallygoing, what’s really important. Romance strikesThursday p.m. to Saturday!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Money, earnings, costs,possessions remain in focus.Watch these all week,butdo not attempt to expand them – don’t ask for a raise,or purchase anything big (lemons abound). Sunday/Monday might spark a “redo” of an old money project.Midweek brings friends, talks, trips, and all sorts ofminor interesting bits and pieces of information: bea sponge, soak up facts, figures. Contact old friends,visit old ‘hoods. Thursday p.m. to Saturday finds youa bit weary, so take naps, rest, be with family, visityour garden, contemplate. Soon, you’ll become ultra-active! Romance? Soon!Pisces Feb.19-March 20:Your energy and charismaremain high – in fact, they soar Sunday/Monday:you’re the star, and everybody knows it! This doesn’tmean you should command everyone to jump into anew project – start nothing major before the 17th. Soenjoy this week. Aim your efforts toward collectingpast debts and favours (Tuesday to Thursday) andre-connecting with those you might have slighted orignored in times past (Thursday p.m. to Saturday).Midweek gives you a hint of a money trend that willapply now to late April – more will pour in, and moreout: remain aware, be a disciplined spender.
