City’s $100K club shrinks slightlyEmployees making $75K grows to nearly 200Grant Grangernewwestnewsleader.com

The City of New Westminster’s $100K club actually shrunk by two in 2011, but for the rst time there is someone in the $200K club.

A staff report prepared for council to consider on Monday reveals 64 employees made at least $100,000, including expenses, last year compared to 66 in 2010. However, those making at least $75,000 grew to 197 in 2011 from 184 in 2010. Provincial legislation requires all public sector employers to report the salaries of employees receiving at least $75,000 in compensation.

Once again city manager Paul Daminato was the top wage earner with $203,898 in compensation including $2,732 in expenses.

He was followed by re chief Tim Armstrong who received total compensation of $176,118 that included $10,594 in expenses.

Queen’s Park area elementary school to mark centennial SaturdayGrant [email protected]

Carla Sumarlidson was a good little girl when she attended Herbert Spencer elementary from 1966 to 1973.

Every once in a while, though, she’d be sitting in class and a rush of guilt would come over her when she heard the clicking of metal echoing across Spencer’s hallway walls. They were coming from the Blakey’s shoe

protectors worn by principal O.B. Elliot as the big bear of a man with a booming voice marched down the hall. To the students the sounds were synonymous with fear because it often meant someone was about to be punished with the strap.

“I was deathly terri ed of getting into trouble. I didn’t do anything wrong but I was terri ed,” laughs Sumarlidson, who now teaches at Spencer. “He was a soft-spirited, kind-hearted individual, but he had this massive persona.”

The school that sits kitty corner to Queen’s Park will celebrate its 100th

anniversary Saturday. Elliot played a huge role in the school, rst serving as a teacher in 1941 and then doing two stints as principal before retiring in the late 1970s. His son is expected to attend the celebration.

Sumarlidson’s role hasn’t been as grandiose as Elliot’s, but it’s still fairly signi cant in length. She went to Spencer from 1966 to 1973, and then returned as a teacher in 1992. Sumarlidson didn’t realize how much time she’d spent there until the beginning of the current school year when she was adding to her collection of class pictures on the wall and her

students asked, “How many years have you been here?”

“Well, why don’t you count them,” she replied.

They didn’t stop until they hit 19.“So that means this is my 20th

anniversary year teaching here, boys and girls,” a shocked Sumarlidson told her students.

“You really don’t look that old Ms. Sumarlidson,” they told her.

“They got a good chuckle because it was a surprise to me how long I had been there,” says Sumarlidson.

PROPOSED OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT FOR 620 & 702 SALTER STREETThe City of New Westminster has received applications from the owners of properties addressed as 620 and 702 Salter Street (shown hatched on the sketch plan) to develop townhouse projects. The Offi cial Community Land Use Designation for the sites is not completely consistent with the Development Permit Area Designation for the sites. In order to clarify the Offi cial Community Plan vision for these sites, the City of New Westminster has initiated a review of the Land Use Designation for these properties. The City proposes to amend the Offi cial Community Plan Land Use designation of the sites from (RL) Residential Low Density and (RM) Residential Medium Density to (RM) Residential Medium Density.

If you wish to express your opinion on the proposed amendment to the Offi cial Community Plan, you may submit your views in writing any time prior to 4:30 pm on Friday, July 6, 2012. Written submissions should be sent to Development Services Department (Planning), 511 Royal Ave, New Westminster, BC, V3L 1H9 (Fax 604-527-4511). If Council decides to proceed with this proposed amendment, a formal Public Hearing will be scheduled at a later date.

Further information on this application may be obtained by contacting Jim Hurst, Development Planner, 604-527-4588, [email protected].

SOME MEMORIES OF HERBERT SPENCER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’S 100 YEARS FROM FORMER STUDENTS:

I think it was early in the 1935-36 school year when I came to Herbert Spencer. Mr. Ashworth, the school principal, was our main teacher and I know he taught spelling at least, because one day he took me to his of ce and gave me three limp slaps of the strap for misspelling two words. That was the old-time teaching method—for him anyway. Mr. Ashworth also gave out report cards. He rated me 4 for conduct—that was the lowest. I got very good marks for the other subjects however.

One day we were climbing the stairs on the way to library when I either stuck something in a girl’s hair or pulled it. She reported it to Miss Bowell who took me to the front of the library and gave me a couple of weak slaps of the strap. She was a very kind and gentle lady. It probably hurt her more than me. However, a male teacher must have heard about the incident so he decided to administer his justice. He took me to the front steps of the school and gave me ve hard ones on each hand. I didn’t like that.

What I most remember is that we were a happy school. No ghts or bullying or bad language or rowdiness in the halls. And we all mixed together easily. On the playground we had great fun playing softball, the catcher with his back close to the old cedar tree and elders trying to catch a ball without

tripping over the rough ground.– Graham Campbell

•••••

My girlfriend Norma and I once got a detention from Mrs. Lloyd for laughing so much during class. We

stayed after school for the detention but Mrs. Lloyd forgot about us so we nally left after about an hour. She was a nice teacher but we just got carried away.

I remember Mrs. Smith because I had a big nosebleed in class and she helped me. The blood ran out all over a pretty white-with-tiny-red-polka-dotted-dress that my mother had just made for me. Another time I had a nosebleed while I was in the girls washroom in the basement. Mrs.Smith had me lay down on the tile oor and there was a circle of girls standing around me watching. I felt quite embarrassed.

I sure remember Miss McKaskill because she taught us how to handwrite. She told us to hold our pencil between our thumb and fore nger and to cup our hand around an imaginary golf ball. I used to practise my handwriting at home remembering to sit up straight with both feet planted correctly on the oor, and slanting my writing at a 45-degree angle. I used to parrot her words when I was teaching my own students to write.

I had to stay in after school to work

on some long division which I just could not understand. Mrs. B was just as frustrated as I was and got so angry she took a ruler and hit me over the hand. I think I cried so she sent me home. As I was putting on my coat, I swung it over my shoulders, hitting a potted geranium that crashed onto the oor. It was an accident but I got scared and ran home. Many years later when I was teaching math and someone was having problems, I made sure I explained every step carefully so there would be no problems. It turns out Mrs. B. was my husband’s best friend’s aunt.

I remember the playground vividly. There was a boys side and a girls side.

We had a small undercover area to play in when it rained.

In the southeast corner of the girls side were tall cedar trees under which we played hopscotch and What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?

I remember sweeping the area clean with a fallen cedar branch.

– Rose Marie Kopfensteiner-Butterworth

Beside the pictures of her classes are ones from her own Grade 2 and 5 classes. In both she is sitting at the far left end of the front row, prim and proper with her hands in her lap.

Despite her fear of the strap, Sumarlidson had lots of fun at Spencer. It’s where she got her rst taste of art education from Miss Yip, which is the subject Sumarlidson teaches at Spencer.

So when the job opening came up and she got it, she was “ecstatic, super excited.”

“I really wanted to work here,” she says.On her rst day when she walked into the staff room

she saw many of the same faces that had taught her a couple of decades before. Soon she knew how they felt because several times she’s seen familiar faces from the past in another form.

“I’ve taught a lot of children of people I used to go to school with. I’m just waiting now for the grandchildren to come,” jokes Sumarlidson. Sumarlidson isn’t the only one with two lives at Spencer. Principal Tracy Fulton started there as a student in 1962 and met her husband there as well. They’ve even stuck around the neighbourhood, raising their kids across the street from the school. She became principal 12 years ago after her children had left.

The Fultons had a front-row seat when the original structure, which had a major renovation in 1963, was taken down after the present state-of-the-art building was opened April 15, 1993.

“My husband and I were very sad,” says Fulton. “It was hard to watch. What was hard to realize is at the end of the week it was gone.”

Spencer alumni now on staff also include Emily MacLeod and Jessica Dietcher.

The school’s most famous student is Victoria Cross recipient Smokey Smith, who attended the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies at the school prior to his death in 2005. The school’s gymnasium is also named after him.

While the present students will celebrate the centennial with a special assembly today (Friday), everyone else is invited to come Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to swap stories and treasured memories.

“I do live in the now. I don’t go back in the past, but I do enjoy the memories,” says Sumarlidson, who is looking forward to nding out who will show up Saturday. “I know I’m going to be surprised. That’s part of the fun.”

Carla Sumarlidson has spent a lot of years at Herbert Spencer school, rst as a student (she’s in the bottom left front row) and for the past 20 years as a teacher. The school is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

NOTICE OF PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION ON 6TH STREETAs part of its 2012 Capital Program, the City will be reconstructing the pavement on 6th Street from Queens Avenue to 6th Avenue.

The work will be carried out by Winvan Paving Ltd., and is expected to start in mid-June with completion by mid-July. The work is weather dependent.

Single lane alternating traffi c will be maintained at all times during the work. Temporary closure of minor cross streets and lanes will also occur during the work.

Due to the nature of the work and the heavy equipment required to carry it out, the reconstruction will be carried out over night between the hours of 7pm to 5am. Confl icts between the heavy traffi c and pedestrian volumes that use this busy commercial corridor would present high safety risks should the work be done during normal business days. Daytime work would also severely impact businesses and parking along the street. It is estimated that by doing the work at night the total time to complete will be reduced from seven weeks to three weeks. Final line painting is not included in these three weeks.

Construction noise during the night can be expected for the duration of work but the City deems that this is the best alternative when considering the safety factors and negative business impact should the work be done during the day. The contractor will undertake to minimize noise, to the best of their ability during the work realizing the impact on surrounding residential areas. As construction will progress along the corridor, no area should be impacted for the entire duration of the work.

Portions of the reconstruction will be left in gravel during the day ready for paving the next night. Traffi c control will be in place to keep these areas safe for traffi c and pedestrian use.

At various stages of the work, access to property driveways may be temporarily interrupted. The contractor will coordinate any anticipated interruptions with individual properties in advance to minimize any inconvenience. On-street parking will also be temporarily removed in the work area during the pavement reconstruction.

For further information on this project please contact the Engineering Services Department at 604-527-4592.

Plan for additional French Immersion class at Spencer not approved due to space concernsGrant [email protected]

A proposed one-time additional early French immersion kindergarten class at Herbert Spencer elementary will not proceed.

Although there is enough demand for a fourth class at the school, New Westminster school trustees at Tuesday’s education committee meeting heard a great

deal of opposition to the idea because there’s not enough room.

District staff had suggested the possibility of using a classroom that is now being used as a resource room to accommodate the extra class. The concept received support from the New Westminster chapter of Canadian Parents for French, but many parents wrote, emailed and phoned the district to object. An online petition objecting to it has reached more than 200.

Spencer’s teachers, both English and French, also submitted a formal objection to the idea.

“Herbert Spencer school already suffers from inadequate space. Adding a new classroom and

additional students will further reduce the school’s available space for learning,” said the teachers.

Trustee MaryAnn Mortensen said she was shocked by the divisiveness between French and mainstream (English) parents, but also between EFI parents, over the issue. But to have a “signi cant amount of parents, not a minority” and the school’s teachers objecting to it said a lot. Mortensen said the school was built in the early 1990s to house 350 students, but there have been changes that have expanded enrolment to nearly 500. If the extra class was brought in there wouldn’t be any place to hold meetings or many other activities

that are part of school life.She said the issue highlights the

district’s need to reduce ad hoc decision making.

“One of the concerns [board of education trustees] had, and it seemed we had it collectively, was around the long-term planning for waitlists for our programs of choice,” said Mortensen. “French immersion isn’t the only program of choice with high demand. Montessori on the east side has the longest waitlist.”

No vote on a recommendation to the board for its next meeting on June 26 was made, so the idea could be revived then. But Mortensen said it was highly

unlikely. The education committee did, however, recommend the formation of a committee to discuss a parent/caregivers bill of rights proposed by trustee Casey Cook.

Mortensen said the committee will consist of three trustees, a principal or vice principal, representatives from the teachers and support staff unions, the district parent advisory council, student council and the multicultural management team.

Although she didn’t feel it was necessary, Mortensen said some trustees wanted parental responsibilities added to the document. Its name will also be up for discussion.

I have been on quite a trip with my cousin these past few months.

She is actually not really my cousin.

She was adopted, which has been the focus of this journey. Thora is 59 and was adopted at birth – presumably the child of a teenage pregnancy in the ’50s when it was unheard of for young moms to keep their babies.

When the red tape around adoption les was loosened a few years ago, I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.

I was visualizing a total stranger walking up to the door of his or her birth mom and saying, “Hi. I’m your daughter (or son)!”

I also wondered how the adoptive parents would feel.

Would they say “Now, after we’ve raised you, you don’t want us to be your parents anymore?”

Happily, I discovered that the government has more common sense than I had given them credit for.

By watching my cousin start her search, I learned that while information about birth parents and adopted children is available, there is a procedure for acquiring it.

Details aren’t just handed out willy-nilly.

Thora lived a happy, normal life. She was adopted by a loving family that was comprised of many aunts, uncles and cousins, and while she knew she was adopted, she never gave it much thought.

In her early teens, she discovered she had a lovely singing voice, was a natural on the guitar and liked to write her own music. Once in a while, she would wonder where this talent came from, but the curiosity was eeting.

When Thora reached her late 40s, she and her husband received the devastating news that she had developed Parkinson’s disease, a turn of events that really got her wondering about her biological background.

However, she hesitated to start the search. She did not want to hurt

her family’s feelings, but she was starting to get anxious about it. She felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster. To search or not to search?

In August 2011, after both her adoptive parents had passed away, she took the plunge.

The process involved contacting Vital Statistics, receiving her birth mother’s name, then contacting the Adoption Reunion Society to request an active search.

Three months later, Thora was a bundle of nerves, having heard nothing and worrying about “who” she would discover and what the rest of the family would think. It turned out the rest of the family was 100 per cent behind her on this.

In February 2012, word came. The Adoption Reunion Society reported they had located a woman who is also the daughter of Thora’s birth mother.

Would she like them to contact that person to receive permission to pass on her information? This is where I started to feel OK about the system.

They don’t give “searchers” personal information about family

members they have located. It all has to go through proper privacy channels.

Within a week, Thora, who by this time was beside herself with excitement, had spoken with and emailed her new “sister.” She learned there is music in their family but no Parkinson’s disease; there are three other half-sisters and there was a baby brother who died in infancy. Their mom had passed away 17 years ago.

The rst sister contacted lives in L.A. but used to live in Vancouver’s West End along with another sister who still lives in Vancouver. One is on Vancouver Island. One is in Alberta. The four women in Canada have met, hugged, cried, laughed and amazed each other with their similarities. The sister in L.A. has shared all this over Skype, email and telephone. A meeting was planned to happen, after this column was written.

It’s grad season. High school seniors in Burnaby

and New Westminster are in the nal days of their formative education before moving on to post secondary studies, perhaps travel or maybe the work world.

Simon Fraser University, BCIT and Douglas College are holding grand ceremonies to bestow degrees and diplomas.

It’s a time of transition for students, as they emerge from the schools, teachers and friends they’ve known for so many years and step into new worlds, with new challenges, new demands.

It’s a time for them to re ect on what they’ve accomplished and to begin charting the path for the next phase of their lives.

The only thing certain is the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

Economies in North America and Europe are sputtering.

The booms in China and India have quieted.

Unemployment is up, wages are down, the social safety net is slowly unraveling as governments around the world can no longer sustain the cost of helping their citizens through tough times, or into retirement.

Some experts say we’re on the brink of a global recession.

But none of that will dull the gleaming smiles of those grads as they march up the aisle to receive their parchment, or diminish their pride of accomplishment.

After all, every generation of grads seems to have challenges to face, whether it’s the rising cost of education, changing technology, diminishing job markets, in ation, de ation, debt, sometimes even war.

Somehow, they persevere. Many thrive.

Most will become upstanding citizens, carving out their little corner of the world.

Some will become leaders, improving everyone’s world.

For that we thank them all, and invite them into the world with open arms.

Re: Time to start planning a new option (Column, NewsLeader, June 1)

Thank you for Chris Bryan’s thoughtful column about looking for new options regarding the Pattullo Bridge.

I love bridges—the graceful engineering that connects communities and enables economies to develop. But this is about more than bridges.

Yesterday I decided to leave my car at home and meet some friends in downtown Vancouver for a bike ride. I rode from New Westminster along the BC Parkway to the Vancouver Art Gallery. The parkway follows the SkyTrain route and makes cycling much more enjoyable and way safer than navigating heavy road traf c. You still have to be careful, but it’s a fun way to be outside getting exercise. New Westminster, surrounding cities, and TransLink have made great progress in making our communities liveable with new bike routes, public transit, traf c calming for pedestrians and new parks along with the new condos and highrise apartment buildings.

So, with this progress in mind, I rode over the Lion’s Gate Bridge with my friends, then along North Vancouver’s new Spirit Trail bike path. On the way home we decided to cross the inlet at the second narrows. We rode up the sidewalk on the east side of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and stopped at the top to enjoy the spectacular view. From our perch on the sidewalk we looked east to admire the mountains, the ocean far below rushing through the narrows as the tide ooded in, the shipyards, the oil re nery…

Then looking to the west, over the six lanes of rushing cars and trucks, it struck me that this is the size of bridge that TransLink wants for the Pattullo Bridge replacement. Dumping that kind of traf c through the residential heart of New Westminster would be a catastrophic mistake.

Downtown Vancouver is recognized around the world as a liveable city partly because, decades ago, one of the smartest things that Vancouverites did was to resist the building of a freeway through the centre of town. Now,

keeping New Westminster liveable and continuing to improve the quality of life in the Royal City means saying a loud “NO!” to TransLink’s current proposal for a six-lane highway bridge at the current location of the old Pattullo.

As stated in the column, we need to start planning for a whole new option.

Brad BarberNew Westminster

TOLLS THEM ALLAre we, the people of Metro

Vancouver, in this together? Let’s make the Lower Mainland liveable for all of us and be fair. Everyone can pay for the beautiful and necessary new bridges.

My suggestion: toll all bridges, at a very low toll $.50 or $1. The payoff would happen more quickly.

North Shore residents have had free bridges, Whistler residents have a free new highway, South Fraser residents shouldn’t have to carry the burden alone.

If the Cambie, Burrard, Granville, Alex Fraser, Oak Street, Lions Gate, Ironworker’s Memorial, Port Mann, Golden

Ears and Pattullo were all tolled, equality would result.

DAYCARE PLAN MAKES NO SENSE

I have some concerns I have about the Elizabeth Fry proposal to expand down Sherbrooke Street in lower Sapperton. Speci cally regarding the proposed daycare. As a father of two young children, ages 4 and 7, this is something that I have been watching closely.

I think everyone would agree that daycare is currently lacking in Sapperton. I can understand why the EFry proposal looks like a great idea and why many would be supportive. But I have come to the conclusion that I would never put my children in this daycare.

First, the number of police calls to the current site, be it 600 over the last seven years, or 300 over the last ve years—depending on whose stats you consider—does not, in my opinion, make for a safe and secure environment for children. If your neighbour had the police visiting on a weekly basis

would you let them look after your children? I think not.

Second, the number of clients who hang around smoking just outside the doors is also of great concern. I don’t want my children playing near a constant source of smoke.

Third, B.C. laws stipulate a daycare must have an outdoor play area with a minimum of seven square meters per child. For 37 children this works out to 258 square meters, or almost 2,800 square feet. This needs to be a secure, enclosed play area. With the proposed building 20,000 square feet on a 5,000-square-foot lot, I would like to know where this outdoor play area is going to be located. They can not use Sapperton Park for this, since it is not on the property and is not a secure, enclosed playground.

Therefore it is safe to say that they will not be granted a daycare licence.

Fourth, a daycare is slated to be built at the Brewery District development.

A new waste-to-energy incinerator in Metro Vancouver, like this one in Burnaby, could be privately nanced.

NEWSLEADER FILE

Metro starts down P3 road for new incineratorJeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver’s proposed waste-to-energy project may end up being privately nanced if the regional

district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a private-public partnership is approved.

The application for P3 Canada funding has split

directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the money to build the $2-billion

rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly nanced.

She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority.

“I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson said. “But nance I

think is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.”

P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a design-build role but also one of either operating, maintaining or nancing it.

Metro’s application proposes a design-build- nance-operate P3, because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding.

Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported the decision, saying Metro won’t yet be bound to that model and could revise it later.

Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners.

But Walton said the region had to apply by June 15 to have a shot at a grant.

“My view is you keep all those doors open going forward,” he said.

The P3 Canada fund is to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25 per cent of a project’s capital cost.

Metro’s current waste-to-energy plant in south Burnaby was developed as a design-build-operate P3, with the region nancing it and retaining ownership.

TransLink is accused of wasting more than $523,000 in 2009 to put up 13 video screens at SkyTrain station entrances that now mostly do not work.

The LCD monitors and networked content players cost more than $40,000 each, according to the results of a Freedom of Information request led by the Canadian Taxpayers

Federation (CTF).The video screens were to

communicate SkyTrain system emergencies, closures and other information to transit riders, ending the practice of staff scrawling messages on sandwich boards outside stations.

“Any way you slice it, $40,000 for a TV screen in this day and age is mind-boggling waste,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director.

He said the only working screens were at Stadium Station when he recently checked them,

while those at Scott Road, Edmonds and Commercial-Broadway had vanished and ones at Lougheed were there but not operating.

TransLink records show the Scott Road screens were damaged by vandals while others were of ine as of August 2011 due to various technical failures.

Three quarters of the money for the Station Entrance Emergency Information Panel (SEEIP) project came from a $391,000 federal Transit-Secure grant.

But Bateman said it was not good use of money earmarked to improve safety and security, regardless of whether taxpayers paid for it via the federal government or through TransLink.

The video screens at the entrances to the ve stations are different from the more than 160 screens on all SkyTrain and Canada Line station platforms that can also transmit urgent messages.

Those were installed by TransLink’s advertising contractor at their cost and TransLink receives a share of the advertising revenue.

“The taxpayers didn’t have to pay a dime for that,” said Byron Montgomery, general manager for Lamar Transit Advertising.

Asked whether TransLink had tried to partner with Lamar on the station entrance screens, which were installed around the same time, he said they were separate initiatives.

Bateman said sandwich board messages may not be elegant but they work.

He said it’s harder for passengers at a station entrance that has been closed due to a problem to peer through a grille at a video monitor inside.

TransLink of cials said several of the out-of-service monitors are either being repaired or are temporarily covered up because of station renovations.

“This was put in as a safety measure,” TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin said.

He said plans to add more of the station entrance video screens in 2013 are under review, adding TransLink now makes much greater use of social media in communicating with passengers than it did four years ago.

New Westminster seniors are being told by police to be aware of a new type of scam.

New Westminster police say on May 31, an elderly woman reported a man, about 55 years old, came to her Uptown apartment claiming to be

from her oxygen tank company. The man told her the rates for her oxygen had gone up $40 per month, so she gave him $80 cash to pay for a two-month supply.

Once he got the money he told her he’d left an item in the suite of another

customer and had to retrieve it, but after leaving did not return.

Police say the suspect is Caucasian with dark tanned skin, a ruddy-looking face, a brush cut and wearing a dark jacket.

Police say if someone knocks on a your door, determine if they have a legitimate reason for being there and don’t answer if the person is not expected. They also advise requesting identi cation from those claiming to be from a company or organization.

Anyone with any information about this incident or who experienced a similar incident should contact the New West police at 604-525-5411.

Westminster Savings has new chair, vice chair

Bill Brown has been elected chair of the Westminster Savings Credit Union while Darlene Hyde has been chosen vice chair.

Brown has been a director of the New Westminster-based company since 2006. He is also chair of the people services and compensation committee, and sits on the nominations committee. He has extensive experience at the senior management level in the beverage industry, including being president of Alberta Distilleries and Featherstone. He is now a consultant to a number of industries.

Hyde is executive director of the Vancouver chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Development Association and has worked in many industry sectors. She was rst elected to the Westminster Savings board in 2008 and is on three of its committees as well as many other local boards.

Former chair Ross Montgomery will remain on the board.

Consisting of a deep rocky trench between the inland Cascade Mountain Range

and the Coast Mountain Range, the Fraser River Canyon offers spectacular beauty around each bend as you drive along the Trans Canada Highway . Running almost due south geographically and in a straight line from Lytton down to the town of Yale, the Fraser River drops with swift and turbulent water flow in numerous places. At Hell’s Gate, to rafters’ delight, the river becomes a white-water torrent as it flows past rock walls barely 100 feet apart at the narrowest section.

Overlooking this view from a vantage point high on the Alexandra Bridge you will not only feel the wind but hear it whistling by as it funnels its way through this narrow passage. During the hot summer months, the rock walls absorb the heat from the sun. At night the heat slowly dissipates so the dew doesn’t spoil a lovely summer evening with its dampness…. the prefect conditions for a salmon preserving technique called wind-drying.

The Fraser River is considered one of the world’s greatest salmon producing rivers. Salmon has been an integral part of the river’s history, culture and economy for as long as humans have lived here. While stopping at one of many canyon viewpoints along the way, visitors may notice bare framed structures perched on the rocky embankment waiting for its bounty of sh, and below at the river’s edge a glimpse of someone shing.

According to oral tradition, Aboriginal people have lived along and shed the Fraser River since time immemorial. Salmon has traditionally been their most important food source. Due to geographic landscape and salmon migration patterns, aboriginal people of the canyon designed special tools

to work with the behaviour of the sh and the nature of the river so suf cient sh could be caught and preserved to sustain large communities – Wind dried salmon is a preserving technique and tradition that is speci c to the canyon.

Here at the Discovery Centre we are putting the nishing touches on our newest exhibit Our Bones are Made of Salmon to be unveiled on Saturday, June 23 commencing at 1p.m. This exhibit celebrates the enduring traditions and techniques of

Aboriginal salmon shing and wind-drying in the Fraser Canyon. Join us and learn about this cultural tradition so the next time you travel the Trans Canada through the Fraser Canyon you will stop to hear the wind, feel the warmth and know that along this stretch of the mighty Fraser lies drying racks and shing camps steeped in tradition.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver mayors had no legal leg to stand on in April when they voted to rescind a property tax increase for TransLink that was originally passed last fall as a backup measure to nance transit expansion.

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly made that point in a recent Mayors Council meeting, saying he could not allow the perception to remain that mayors could at any time revoke a legally binding supplement they previously approved.

“In my view the resolution that was

passed has no legal force,” Crilly said in an interview. “I believe TransLink is obliged to deliver the services, projects and programs that were approved in the 2012 Moving Forward plan.”

TransLink could not reasonably make plans if its funding sources were not binding and Crilly said he would never have let the mayors vote on the supplement if they could later change their minds and reverse it.

The mayors’ April 12 vote to cancel the $30 million property tax led TransLink to freeze several expansion projects, including the planned Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King

George Highway in Surrey.

The decisions came after the province refused to grant new funding sources for TransLink.

But Crilly’s view that the retraction is not valid does not necessarily mean the tax hike and the bus service upgrades are back on again.

TransLink of cials, acting in line with the mayors’ intent, have indicated they could draw up a revised supplement that replaces the existing one – eliminating the $23 property tax increase per average home over the next two years as well as projects that can’t be funded by other means.

The original supplement approved the two-cent gas tax hike in April and the property

tax hike was to kick in only if the province and mayors failed to agree on a new TransLink funding source, which is what happened.

Crilly, however, said he’s still not sure how the property tax can legally be unwound.

“There is no reverse gear,” he said, noting that funding increases that mayors approve in a supplement become locked into TransLink’s base plan (over which mayors have no vote) for future years.

But at the same time, Crilly said he hasn’t found any enforcement mechanism in the legislation that could compel TransLink to raise its property tax, as authorized, to deliver the promised services.

One way out of the problem would be if renewed talks between the mayors and the province authorize a new funding source, such as the proposed vehicle levy shot down by the premier this spring.

Barring a breakthrough there, auditors dispatched by the province would have to nd large amounts of savings within TransLink, avoiding the need for the tax.

TransLink must craft any new plan it will take to the mayors by Nov. 1.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who wants the Highway 1 RapidBus to go ahead, said he’s willing to wait to see what the auditors uncover this summer.

But in the absence of a nancial miracle, he said TransLink must proceed with its original plan, backstopped by the tax hike.

“If there are no sources of funding I feel very strongly that they need to go back to the original supplement, and use the property tax to carry on with the expansion plan, including the RapidBus in Langley.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is plugging a loophole that has prompted hundreds of people to claim they are giving away vehicles to friends or “acquaintances” rather than pay sales tax on the transaction.

When it adopted the harmonized sales tax in 2010, the B.C. government increased its separate tax on private sales of cars, boats and other vehicles from seven per cent to 12.

The federal goods and services tax doesn’t apply to private sales, and the B.C. government said it wanted to level the playing eld between private sales and used cars purchased from dealers.

The jump in the tax rate appears to have made a chronic tax evasion problem worse, as sales of even high-end cars have become popular to give away, at least on paper.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the new provincial sales tax legislation

speci es that vehicle gifts can only be given to a genuine relative or a registered charity.

“Clearly we’ve had a situation in British Columbia where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles,” Falcon said.

“Either you accept that explanation or you just believe that people have become extraordinarily generous in British Columbia in giving away their high-end vehicles, including Mercedes,

Porsches and BMWs, to individuals who they are not acquainted with but they are describing as friends or best friends or acquaintances.”

Falcon estimated the tax dodge has been costing the B.C. treasury “tens of millions” each year.

An effort to tighten up the gift process last year by replacing a letter declaring the vehicle is a gift with a detailed form for buyers and sellers didn’t relieve the problem, he said.

The B.C. sales tax on privately sold vehicles is called the “Tax on Designated Property,” and it applies to aircraft and boats as well as cars and trucks.

Loophole plugged for B.C. ‘gift’ cars

Kevin Falcon, BC Finance MinisterClearly we’ve had a situation in British Columbia where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles.

CHOICEquotes

The B.C. government is spending $22.2 million to fund 190 new nurse practitioner positions around the province over the next three years.

B.C. established nurse practitioner training in 2005, with a master’s degree program that allows registered nurses to take on many of the functions traditionally reserved for doctors. The health ministry

says there are currently 225 nurse practitioners registered with the College of Registered Nurses of B.C., but 72 are not working in that capacity and another 30 are graduating from the program this year. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the new program is designed to close that gap. The positions are seen as important in shifting the health care system

from an acute care model to a preventive and chronic care model that better matches the actual demand and B.C.’s aging population. Government passed legislation in 2011 to allow nurse practitioners to provide their full scope of practice, including diagnosis, prescribing drugs, ordering tests and treating common medical conditions.

TRANSMISSION PROJECTBURNABY TO NEW WESTMINSTER

Early June to Fall 2012

The Burnaby to New Westminster Transmission Project will help meet the growing demand for electricity in the New Westminster area.

A new 2.8 kilometre, 60 kilovolt underground transmission circuit will connect New Westminster Substation to an existing transmission line located near Lakefield Drive in a right-of-way close to Robert Burnaby Park. Three cable vaults will also be installed along the route.

Construction will begin in early June and is expected to be finished in Fall 2012. Planned hours of work are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Temporary lane or street closures may be required in work zones. Traffic management staff will be in place as needed to safely direct traffic and pedestrians.

For more information, please visit bchydro.com/new_westminster or contact BC Hydro Stakeholder Relations at 604 623 4472 or by email at [email protected]


SPORTS

New Westminster native Krista Woodward will go up against her younger rival, Liz Gleadle of Vancouver, in a javelin showdown at the Harry Jerome Track Classic at Swangard Stadium on Sunday.

Woodward, a graduate of the University of Georgia, had held the Canadian record before it was broken by Gleadle. Prior to 2011, injuries had slowed down Woodward, who was a star on the NWSS basketball team, but she managed to regain the record with a throw of 58.64 metres at a meet in California. That, however, was surpassed by Gleadle twice last month.

The javelin eld will also include heptathlete Ruky Abdulai, a former track star at Simon Fraser University.

Several Canadian Olympic track and eld athletes will be performing at the

Jerome as well as athletes from more than 10 other countries. Tickets are available online at www.harryjerome.com. The Classic gets underway at 1 p.m.

A New Westminster couple won the coed category and came second overall in the second Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) held at Burnaby’s Barnet Marine Park and on Burnaby Mountain last Saturday.

Jennifer and Chad Oatway did the 30-kilometre course in four hours, 16 minutes and 49 seconds. Chad is a teacher and football coach at New Westminster secondary.

“I was a challenging course with lots of variety in terrain and no shortage of elevation,” said Jennifer in a MOMAR press release. “We came out of the kayak stage mid-pack this year and really had to work to gain time in the trekking/biking stages in the rst half of the race.”

Gord Webster and Paul Hooper nished rst in 3:54:53.

The winner of the 50-kilometre enduro course was Todd Nowack of Brentwood Bay who took his 10th MOMAR title. The course included a 10-km kayak, six-km trek, 18-km mountain bike, seven-km orienteering, six-km bike and 3-km orienteering run.

There was a lot of sharing as New Westminster secondary handed out its athletes of the year awards. Both Grade 12 awards were shared by two athletes. The boys went to Regan Eberding and Jeremy Wilson while Jettie McLaughlin and Manisha Kandola got the girls.

Eberding also took the boys career (2007-2012) trophy while Ariana Sider got the girls.

Other winners were: Grade 11 – Boys: Jordan Chin; Girls: Kelsey Lonergan; Grade 10 – Boys: Tommy Robertson; Girls: Amanda Zacharuk, Katerina Heinonen; Grade 9 – Boys: Julian Ramirez; Girls: Naomi Noda; Grade 8 – Boys: Rosh Canlas, Corky Smith, David Penelver, Markus Zacharuk; Girls: Jupdeep Dhillon, Justice Steer, Natasha Verzosa

The Burnaby Lakers knocked the New Westminster Salmonbellies from the ranks of the undefeated with a 15-11 victory at Bill Copeland Arena last Friday.

The Lakers shocked the Salmonbellies with ve rst period goals and added another in the

second before New West hit the scoresheet to give both teams a 3-1 record in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

Burnaby goalie Joe Bell made 19 saves in gaining a measure of revenge on his former team. Scott Jones led the Lakers attack with three goals and three assists. Matt Beers, Scott Tinning and Shaun Dhaliwal scored two each with singles going to Chase Williams, Justin Salt, Dane Stevens, Casey Jackson and Matt Quinton. Jackson also added four assists while Quinton had three.

Jeff Zywicki had a big game for New West despite the loss with four goals and three assists. Alex Gajic and Sean Robinson both had three goals and two assists for the Salmonbellies. Mike Berekoff had New West’s other goal.

The Lakers were in Langley to play the Thunder (2-2) on Wednesday, and will take on the Maple Ridge Burrards (0-5) tonight (Friday) starting at 7:45. They will be in Nanaimo Sunday to take on the Timbermen (2-3). The Salmonbellies played host to the Thunder on Thursday, and will be in Coquitlam to play the Adanacs (1-3) Saturday.

Jr. ’Bellies come out firingThe Jr. Salmonbellies came out ring shot after

shot after shot all game long Sunday but barely held on for a 10-9 victory over the visiting Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday. With the win, New West improved to 7-3 while Victoria dropped to 6-6.

Despite a 24-7 shot advantage, the ’Bellies only held a 4-2 lead after the rst period. In the second, the shot disparity wasn’t as great, 18-10, but the goal differential improved, 5-2. New West also outshot Victoria 17-16 in the third, but the Shamrocks outscored them 5-1 with their goalie Cody Hegedorn giving them a chance to snatch the victory.

Brandon Goodwin scored three goals and two assists while Keegan Bal had three goals and one helper. They got their six goals and a combined 21 shots. However, they weren’t the most frustrated Salmonbellie on the night because Anthony Malcom took nine shots but didn’t score any goals, although he contributed four assists. Other New West goals were scored by Josh Becker, Reagan Harding, Jimmy McBride and Quinn Mackay.

The Jr. ’Bellies were to play in Langley on Thursday and will be in Coquitlam on Monday. Their next home game at Queen’s Park Arena isn’t until Tuesday, June 19 against Burnaby.

Bound for nationalsSixteen New Westminster Salmonbellies Minor

Lacrosse Association players have been named to provincial teams.

Half of them will be on Team BC’s bantam squad—goalie Bianca Ballarin, Katie Browning, Nicole DelGrosso, Monica Disanjh, Chloe Nottingham, Madison Obravac, Keeley O’Neill and Nadine Stewart. Jenna Chernoff, Courtney Kearnes and Nicole Shanks made the midget roster.

On the boys, Cole Catton, John Edin, Jordy Mahal and Finn Stark were named to the peewee team while Naili Degife made the bantams.

The teams will compete at the national championships, with the girls tournaments being held in Victoria July 29 to Aug. 2, and the boys in Whitby, Ont., Aug. 4-12.

OUR DOORS ARE NOW OPEN


The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 10, sponsored by FortisBC.

Starting at 10 a.m., the public will be able to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, North Vancouver, Surrey and Vancouver.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own

renovations.”The renovated homes include a 1950s

bungalow, a 1920s heritage home, a bathroom makeover, a basement suite conversion, a wide-ranging interior and exterior renovation and a whole-house transformation.

Admission is $10 for adults, and free for children 17 and under. A passport allowing you entrance into every home will be available at the homes.

The homes will be open until 4 p.m., and it is recommended to map out your route as the homes will not be available for showings before or after the event.

To find the list of participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org.

European-inspired architecture comes to Richmond with Concord Pacific’s newest development, Omega.

“(In) the Greek alphabet ‘Omega’ is often used to symbolize greatness and the ultimate,” says Concord Vice-President of Marketing Grace Man. “Omega, with its superior construction and refined design details, will raise the bar of similar medium-density projects and become the ultimate low-rise development.”

With 245 one- and two-bedroom suites in two buildings, Omega has something for everyone, though Man says the one-bedroom plus study suites are already sold out. The homes range from 546 to 1,042 square feet.

The entire development has a European feel, with a lush central courtyard, water features, stone pathways and a children’s play area.

“The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Man. “It emphasizes on a symmetrical form and (is) set in a 20,000 square-foot lush, green garden. The lit pathways, water features and secluded courtyard seating provide a soothing and tranquil environment.”

Inside, the condominums include nine-foot ceilings in most of the living areas and a central heating and cooling system. There is an open balcony or terrace with each suite, and wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living area and flex space (depending on the floorplan) is complemented by your choice of two colour schemes – Impression and Reflection.

The kitchens have plenty of

thoughtful little touches, from the soft-close hardware on the doors to the waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the sink. The engineered quartz stone countertops and large-format porcelain tile backsplash combine to make for an elegant picture with the stainless-steel appliances, while the laminate cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet lighting becomes the cherry on the top of this perfect kitchen sundae.

Those little touches continue in the bathrooms, with their engineered quartz stone countertops and a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting. The recessed pot lighting is universally flattering, while

the elegant large-format porcelain tile flooring continues on the tub/shower surround.

A unique feature of Omega is the thicker concrete floor slab and triple-glazed windows that are an integral part of every home. The floors feature more insulation and a thicker cement platform between the floors, which combine to make for an improved building structure. The triple-glazed windows help to isolate exterior sound, so you won’t be bothered by the bustling city noise. Both of these things are demonstrated at the Concord sales centre in Richmond. Guests are invited to jump on the floor to feel

the difference between the standard concrete floors and the Omega floors, and check out the difference in sound that the triple-glazing offers, in comparison to a standard window.

If it’s convenience you’re looking for, Omega is certainly the place for you. Located in the heart of Richmond, you are just minutes away from transit, shopping, restaurants, recreation and education. The Vancouver International Airport is about 10 minutes from home, and downtown Vancouver is less than 20 minutes away.

All remaining homes are under $399,900. For more information, visit omegaliving.ca or call 604-233-7748.

Submitted photosThe homes at Omega have several chic and modern touches, from the porcelain tile backsplash in the kitchen, above, to the generous bedrooms and flex spaces in some floorplans, top and left.
