Pattullo decision now would save $200M TransLink says repair costs would triple if determination isn’t soon Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
TransLink wants a decision on replacement of the Pattullo Bridge later this year so it can save $200 million in future rehabilitation repairs for the current structure. Executive vice-president of strategic planning and public affairs Bob Paddon told New Westminster city council that TransLink will have to spend $100 million on
upkeep to the 77-year-old bridge situation on both sides of the river regardless of what decision is made. if we do that.

four-lane bridge with the capability of expanding to six lanes. A new four-lane bridge would help traffic flow, said Paddon, because the lanes would be wide enough to accommodate today’s vehicles. He said the Pattullo’s lanes are so narrow that in reality it is a 3 1/2-lane bridge. “What you start to see happening (with a new bridge) is you get faster times over the bridge, which we believe would reduce travel time 15 per cent,” said Paddon, who added tolls would also reduce traffic.

Former city councillor Cal Donnelly wants back onto council after being on the outside looking in the last two terms. The veteran of the New Westminster political scene, who has run in almost every election since the 1970s, is filing his nomination papers for the Nov. 15 election. Donnelly has served a total of 18 years on council. Over the years he has also taken a run at being mayor, losing at various times to the likes of Muni Evers, Betty Toporowski and Helen Sparkes. Donnelly said he’s not happy with the philosophical direction council is taking with so many of them backed by labour. “We need some choice, we need to have some balance, and that’s what I’m trying to do,” said Donnelly. Donnelly lost his council seat in 2008 and fell just short of the last spot in 2011. He believes he’s got a good shot this time because there are only four incumbents compared to 2011 when all the incumbents sought reelection. He will be supporting Mayor Wayne Wright in his bid for reelection.

The wait is over
Warren (Whitey) Bernard was just a young boy who wanted to say goodbye to his father one last time as he marched off to serve in WWII. The moment he pulled from his mother’s hand to reach out to his father was captured forever by a sharp-eyed newspaper photographer. Saturday, Bernard was the guest of honour as a statue memorializing that moment in that famous photograph was unveiled at Hyack Square, near where it originally occurred. Counterclockwise from top left: the march of Westminster Regiment reserves down Eighth Street bears an uncanny resemblance to the march of soldiers heading to WWII depicted in the Wait For Me Daddy photo. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon inspects the honour guard. A huge crowd awaits the unveiling. Bernard and his grandaughter Sophie, 5, get their first look at the statue along with New West Coun. Lorrie Williams, who spearheaded the project to get it built.

A strong sense of community, great location and a vision for the future are driving New Westminster’s renaissance. That was the theme of a discussion panel at Thursday’s Invest New West economic forum held at the new Anvil Centre. Darrell Jones, president of Overwaitea Food Group and Save-On-Foods, said New West’s community feel is what brought the company back to the city where its chain of grocery stores started 100 years ago. Since it returned with a store in Uptown in 2009, the company has opened two more locations, in Sapperton and Downtown at Columbia Square. He said the city’s community values are a good fit for his company’s corporate values. “We support the communities that support us,” said Jones. “We respond to the needs of the neighbourhoods where we operate.” That includes creating jobs that pay a living wage and help sustain the local economy, said Jones. The three grocery stores now employ 300 people from the immediate area. Also on the panel was Suki Sekhon, CEO of CRS Group of Companies, whose company bought the office tower called Merchant Square earlier this year from the city. The tower is located above the Anvil Centre. Sekhon said New West’s location at the epicentre of the booming Lower Mainland makes it a destination for companies looking to do right by their employees and clients.
Suki Sekhon, president/CEO of CRS Group, and Darrell Jones, president of Overwaitea Food Group, are keen listeners as well as presenters at Thursday’s Invest New West economic forum. They were participating in a panel discussion with New Westminster CAO Lisa Spitale.
Easy access to the Expo, Millennium and soon, Evergreen SkyTrain lines, as well as roads and highways that connect the city to every other community in the Lower Mainland mean New West is no more than 30 minutes from anywhere. “A company can come here and do all their business here,” said Sekhon. But New West has always had this geographic advantage, said Sekhon. The city needs a vision for the future to take advantage of it. Which is Lisa Spitale’s responsibility. The city’s chief administrative officer said the city has worked hard to lower its crime rate and provide for the homeless, problems that dogged New West through the 1990s and into the new millennium. While issues like traffic congestion remain, that work is now paying off. New West’s population and average income levels are growing. Businesses are starting to pay attention.

Fundraising dream for Qayqayt playground lives on Mario Bartel
photo@newwestnewsleader.com
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s what’s encouraging the parents’ group seeking funds to build a playground at the new Qayqayt elementary school. Ronda Field said the group is taking another crack at winning a $95,000 grant from the Aviva Community Fund. Last year they fell just short of securing a $100,000 top prize in the annual nationwide competition. But they did reach the finals and were awarded $5,000 toward acquiring a playground structure. That was far short of the $180,000 needed for a complete playground surrounded by a rubberized surface that’s easily accessible for kids of all abilities. So the group then tried to win the $20,000 first prize in the CST Inspired Minds, a similar national competition that awards funds to worthy community projects. Again, they fell short. The playground proposal finished second, which was worth $10,000. Undeterred, Field said the group was able to pool the money it has already won with $50,000 from the school district, $15,000 from the Kiwanis Club and a number of corporate and community donations to order part of the playground structure. It will be installed by the end of October. Field said her group of parents is hoping to build on the awareness their voting campaign raised last year. But they’re not planning to reprise any community rallies or support marches. “We just don’t have the energy right now,” said Field, who is hoping the playground will get enough votes in the first round, which ends Oct. 13, to skip ahead to the semifinals. Field said the biggest ally in this year’s effort will be the school itself. It’s open and, as yet, the 500 students don’t have a proper outdoor play space, other than a gravel all-weather C

field. The area where the first phase of the new playground will be built is still a mud bowl of construction equipment. “It’s much more real, especially for the parents,” said Field of the daily reminder of lacking outdoor facilities at the new school. “The kids are making the best of a difficult situation.” Qayqayt principal Karen 2014.10.08-NewsLeader-QtrPg-ForProduction.pdf Catherwood is also hopeful
the playground fundraising campaign will pay off. “Every piece of space we get is great,” she said. “I’m looking forward to having the equipment so the kids can get out.”

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Fear, stigma and Ebola
LAST WEEK:
A Burnaby company is playing a small role in the battle against the newest health scourge that is tearing through Africa and threatens to spread elsewhere. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals has linked up with an international consortium that includes representatives of the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Medecins Sans Frontieres to advance its development of a vaccine for Ebola. Other companies are also working on vaccines. Some, including Tekmira’s, have reportedly already been used to treat patients, foreshortening the often long and arduous trials and regulatory approvals process. The need to stem the epidemic is that urgent. If the epidemic isn’t stopped, it could soon become endemic, a disease that will be forever entrenched in a region, ready to spread in a moment’s inattention. WHO estimates there could be 1.4 million cases of Ebola in West Africa by the end of January. Meantime, there has been only a trickle of volunteers among the medical community of the western world. The fear and stigma hearkens back to the early days of AIDS. “We talk about stigma and ignorance in Liberia, but let’s be frank, there’s plenty of stigma and ignorance in our own countries, and irrational fear of being on the ground. We have an obligation to counter that fear,” Sheldon Yett, the UNICEF country representative in Liberia, told the Globe and Mail. Hopefully, more will have the courage to volunteer. When proper precautions are taken, there is very low risk among those working at Ebola treatment centres. Ebola is not an awful, frequently fatal disease. But we must act quickly and decisively, and not let fear prevent us tackling what could soon become the AIDS of our era.

THIS WEEK: Should city councils stay out of issues, such as pipelines, which are not under their immediate jurisdiction? Vote at www.newwestnewsleader.com
Oil a slippery slope for cities VICTORIA – Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines.
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
“Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is oversubscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety.
7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com
LE DER
Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced ecolawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bike-lock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter. The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from

organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

COMMENT

EMail letters@newwestnewsleader.com
New West missed out on a win-win The news that the Whitecaps will not be bringing their USL Pro Soccer franchise to Queen’s Park Stadium has left a lot of Royal City residents scratching their heads. It looked like a winwin deal and public support was strong. According to a city report, 66 per cent of the 106 emails received by the city were in favour, with only 29 per cent opposed. Out of 327 resident feedback forms collected at the consultations, 59 per cent were strongly in favour and an additional 7 per cent voiced support with some reservations. Only 32 per cent were opposed. And 80.3 per cent of Chamber of Commerce members were in support. So what happened? First of all, small but vocal special
interest groups were very effective in their opposition, exaggerating small deficiencies and literally shouting down proponents. Second, a perceived information vacuum was quickly and happily filled with misinformation by opponents. Huge cost figures were pulled out of thin air and rumoured. Some “heard” a brand new soccer stadium was going up. Traffic would over run the neighbourhood day and night. “There’s no information!” opponents cried. But there was information. For example, it was disclosed over and over that there would be only about 14 games per year on weekends, that no civic events would be disrupted,
and the facility would be open to youth sports. An effective misinformation campaign is hard stop once it gets going. From a financial perspective, it seems the Whitecaps and the City were pretty close to a deal. The “$11.4 million” cost figure being quoted as justification for turning down the proposal is bogus. It does not include the funds already set aside in the city’s budget for the facilities and ignores completely the contributions coming from the Whitecaps. To make sense of the Whitecaps proposal, as with any business case, you need to look first at the business model. The current business model, a large, empty and aging stadium, is
clearly not a good one. You have all the costs, including potentially huge investments for seismic upgrades, with zero chance to recover the investment. Under this model, its best to bite the bullet, knock it down and replace it with a very low maintenance facility. The demolition plan is exactly what Parks & Rec recommended. It makes zero sense to invest further in the structure, as the chance of another pro sports tenant is gone. The other business model, upgrading the facility to secure a big-name, well-liked tenant, was a good one, with an array of positives, both tangible, and intangible. On the tangible side, you have direct and indirect revenues to offset the expenditures. Directly, rent would
be paid. Indirectly, local businesses would have a larger audience to market to. On the intangibles side, we have heritage, brand awareness and regional relationships. The Whitecaps have developed a tremendously loved and admired brand,
and linking that image would have helped city’s “rebranding” efforts considerably. All number crunching aside, I feel bad for the thousands of New Westminster children who have seen a dream evaporate. No soccer or baseball player is being denied a

Picking up a hobby in later years
T
he cooler weather, shorter days and changing leaves that come with September/ October are forever reminiscent of the start of the school year—but backto-school is no longer just for kids.
Now more than ever a growing number of seniors are picking up new hobbies later on in life—from cooking classes, to computer programing, to music lessons—to help build brain power and keep an active mind. The benefits of these brain boosters are undeniable. For example, recent research shows that studying music and playing an instrument can have a host of rewards for older adults
Wendy scott including sharpening the brain both biologically and neurologically, improving cognitive performance and guarding against the common effects of aging like memory and hearing losses. Additional research proves that music can be both emotionally and physiologically healing, leading to reduced anxiety and increased levels of immunoglobin A, an antibody associated with improved immunity. With a greater number
of seniors looking to explore new hobbies into the later years of life, new senior-specific programs are emerging. For example, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music (VSOSoM), offers a variety of music classes and coaching taught by some of Canada’s top musicians for amateur, intermediate and advanced students from three months to 85+, in classical, jazz and world music. Programs like these start at $150 for the term, giving students of all ages a variety of classes to choose from to meet their needs and extracurricular schedules. And the convenience and easy access of the beautiful downtown location right next to the Orpheum Theatre
provides the opportunity to get out and about downtown before or after classes and lessons. Aside from the scientific data, music can have some wonderful, unexpected “sideeffects”: Physical and emotional Pain relief
Listening to or playing music can help release endorphins with pain-relief properties that can help relieve feelings of discomfort and encourage relaxation. Music can also help decrease blood pressure and anxiety, improving overall mood. memory retrieval
Music can also help to uncover ‘forgotten’ memories. see Benefits of music, a16

Leadership Rodger Konkle
Mary Barry is a dedicated individual focused on helping others. Five years ago, her minister told Mary some of the children attending Maywood Elementary School in Burnaby were wearing plastic bags for lack of proper clothing. Since that time she’s spent much of her time knitting clothes for the children, and has involved others to help as well. The school needed food and other items, so she not only appealed to other residents for assistance, but spends her own money for food. Mary learned that the women’s shelters in New West were in need of clothes so she started to help them too, and still makes regular pleas for clothing. Mary donates many items she collects during autumn for the Christmas Bureau. She organizes a special event in her building collecting food and other items to fill 125 baskets for needy Burnaby families. When Harmony Court’s residents council needed more members five years ago, Mary volunteered and has been an active member ever since. She attends the meetings and has also taken on the role of fire warden. Mary’s husband lent a helping hand until his death two years ago.
Rodger is chair of the Burnaby Lougheed Lions Housing Society, which operates four housing complexes— one in New Westminster and three in Burnaby, comprising 245 units in total. He is also an active member of the Third World Eye Care Society and has made five overseas trips to Ecuador, Nicaragua and the Philippines. Most recently, he was in Tacloban City, in the Philippines, where 8,300 pairs of glasses were distributed to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Rodger is also a volunteer at the Union Gospel Mission food kitchen in New Westminster, 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., five days a week. And recently, he participated in painting a “community piano” for Queensborough Community Centre.

A chance to stretch skills in a new computer lab Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
The computer lab at the Community Centred College for the Retired is all about teaching old dogs new tricks. Now those seniors will be able to do that using the latest technology. The lab is now humming with 10 brand new Microsoft computers, software, printing stations and WiFi access throughout the Allan Emmott Centre, where the college occupies the basement. Rennie Maierle, a director of the college, said the old computers in the lab were well past their prime, and could no longer keep up with the needs of the seniors eager to learn new, high-tech skills. Those include the basics like getting familiar with using a touch screen, to word processing to sophisticated photo editing programs.

Dave Mannings and Brigitte Binggelie prepare computers for another term of classes at the Community Centred College for the Retired, which is located in the basement of the Allan Emmott Centre in South Burnaby.
The lab’s clients are a demanding lot, said Maierle. “Our classes are full all the time.” So the college’s dozen or so computer instructors got together for monthly meetings to construct a wish list for the lab, then applied for a grant to New Horizons to pay for it.

Get social
Enrolling in a music class or joining a choir is a great way to expand your social circle, meet new people and foster a sense of connection to your community. It’s never too late to start a new hobby. Research shows even a few years of musical training can help seniors stay mentally sharp. Whether
