City pushes to have truck routes removedThe City of New Westminster hopes to

push truck traffic onto perimeter roads sur-rounding the city.

The city has asked TransLink to removeRoyal Avenue, East Eighth Avenue andportions of East Columbia Street and EwenAvenue from the city’s truck route network.Following feedback gathered during themaster transportation planning process, thecity presented the proposed truck routechanges to TransLink on March 28.

“The increase of traffic on our roadnetwork, especially heavy truck traffic is

of great concern to council and is unac-ceptable to our community,” said Coun.Jaimie McEvoy, co-chair of the city’s mastertransportation plan committee. “These rec-ommended changes are designed to reducecommunity impacts, while providingappropriate alternatives for regional goodsmovement through New Westminster.”

TransLink staff is now reviewing thecity’s submission, with the goal of prepar-ing a report for consideration at TransLink’sboard meeting in July.

On Monday, council adopted a resolu-tion asking TransLink to remove the routesfrom the city’s truck network. The cityhad previously forwarded submissions to

TransLink requesting the removal of theseroads from the truck route, but TransLinkhad requested a consolidated resolutionfrom the city.

McEvoy said a new elementary school isbeing built on Royal Avenue at the formerSt. Mary’s Hospital site and the city needsto make sure the site is safe, somethingthat’s harder to do if trucks are barrelingthrough the community.

“It’s not going to become a highway fortrucks,” Mayor Wayne Wright said of RoyalAvenue.

Coun. Betty McIntosh noted that EastEighth Avenue is a totally residential neigh-bourhood.

“I’ve seen trucks blowing their hornswhentheycan’t stop,”shesaid.“Pedestriansbetter continue to be vigilant.”

City administrator Lisa Spitale saidTransLink’s move to the city was a bit of“serendipity” as it didn’t fully realize thecity’s traffic issues until it relocated its headoffice to Sapperton.

“It is anticipated that, once TransLinkstaff and its board have reviewed thesubmission, the city will be requested torespond to a number of conditions in orderto achieve truck route removal on some orall of the routes recommended for remov-al,” stated a staff report.

The Hyack Anvil Battery willonce again be making noise inQueen’s Park on Victoria Day.

The Ancient and HonourableHyack Anvil Battery will offera “21 gun” salute to the currentsovereign and to the memory ofQueen Victoria (who named NewWestminster) on May 19. The tra-dition has been taking place sincethe late 1800s.

While the anvil battery is pre-pared to sound its salute on VictoriaDay, it needs the city’s help tomake it happen. In past years,the Hyack Festival Association hastaken care of some of the planningand setup needs associated withthe salute.

In a letter to council, the HyackAnvil Battery requested funds tohelp with a number of things ithasn’t had to pay for in the past.

Council has approved a grantof up to $1,700 to fund the request-ed items, with the city providingthe money when receipts are pro-vided.

Dean Gibson, the city’s direc-

tor of parks, culture and recre-ation, said the total cost for theVictoria Day salute is about $1,700,which includes money for tents, asound system, an honorarium forthe Royal Westminster Regimental

Band and attendance by St. JohnAmbulance. In addition, he saidthe city provides an in-kind con-tribution that goes towards thepodium, chairs and plants.

In past years, Gibson said the

Hyack Festival Association hasundertaken planning for thisevent on behalf of the Hyack AnvilBattery and has arranged for sup-plies to be delivered and set up inQueen’s Park.

Parking in spots for the disabled?Motorists who try to save some time by

parking in disabled parking spaces may bepaying with their wallets.

The city’s access ability advisory committeehas asked council to have staff review the fineamount for those who park in a designateddisabled parking stall without displaying adisabled permit. The committee would likethe city to increase the fine from $80 to a moresignificant amount.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said there was a“lively discussion” at the committee, whichoccurred after a committee member notedthat Herbert Spencer Elementary School hasbeen having problems with student drop-offinfringing on disabled parking stalls. She saidmotorists use them and say they’ll be rightback, but people requiring those parking stallsdon’t have access to them when they arrive.

“It’s not infrequent,” she said about thesituation on Second Street. “It is almost everysecond day.”

McIntosh said the committee felt the finehad to be sufficient to discourage motoristsfrom using those spaces at locations aroundthe city.

“The access committee is wanting to makea statement,” she said. “We don’t have enoughdisabled parking spots.”

Roger Emanuels, the city’s manager ofdesign and construction, said the street trafficbylaw is in the process of being updated. Staffare concerned that if the fine is too high com-pared to other municipalities it may be con-tested in court, so they are trying to find a ratethat is consistent with fines in other cities.

McIntosh said she understands staff’s hesi-tation to impose a $450 fine, a sum discussedby the committee, but noted the advisorygroup wants the fine to be large enough todissuade people who are strong and healthyfrom parking in spaces that are reserved fordisabled people and are signed as such. A fineof about $200 has also been suggested.

Mayor Wayne Wright said he’d like toknow if the city is currently fining motoristswho park illegally in the disabled parking

spaces.Staff will report back to council on potential

fines and enforcement of disabled parkingspaces in the city.

The city is supporting Tourism NewWestminster’s bid to secure a two per centtax to raise money for tourism related mar-keting activities.

In a letter to Tourism New Westminster,the city offered its support for the pro-posed two per cent municipal regional dis-trict tax that’s formerly known as the hotelroom tax. Staff note that several neigh-

bouring municipalities, including Burnaby,Richmond, Vancouver and Surrey, haveapproved collection of the tax.

“Any time you go and stay in a hotelroom anywhere in the Lower Mainland,you are paying a tax,” said Coun. BettyMcIntosh. “I say, let’s keep this movingforward and support it.”

A handful of New Westminster edu-cational programs are running in the red– including alternate and online schools– according to a recent review, and, in lightof the findings, the interim superintendentsays the district cannot continue to offermoney-losing operations.

The Record obtained a district review ofthe cost of running education programs andschools through a freedom-of-informationrequest. The district analyzed the costs toeducate each student at various school pro-grams, including alternate schools, virtual(online) learning, adult education, home-learners’, elementary and middle schoolsand the high school, as a part of its ongoingbid to understand spending in the chroni-cally cash-strapped school district.

“Every single program will be looked atto see whether or not it should continue torun, and if it is going to run, what are wegoing to do to ensure that it will not runin the red,” superintendent John Gaiptmansaid.

There were a number of notable short-falls at various schools, particularly in thedistrict’s alternate education programs,which help vulnerable students who strug-gle in mainstream classrooms. The district’sthree alternate schools cost $908,589 morethan the funding they received from the

provincial government, according to thedistrict’s analysis.

Another big cost to the district is thevirtual school, which offers online cours-es to students. It lost$403,068, due to low enrol-ment, which was a resultof competition from largerneighbouring school dis-tricts also offering onlinecourses.

The review – which thedistrict calls a “notionalanalysis” – gives the dis-trict a guide as to what ithas to focus on when itcomes to ensuring that thedistrict doesn’t “continueto run programs that con-tinue to lose money,” saidGaiptman.

“We are not going to getout of this financial quag-mire until we attack the issues, and whenyou are seeing things in the red, we haveto make changes in order to ensure thatwe stop running programs in the red,” hesaid.

The district’s secretary treasurer AlBalanuik said alternate programs are costlybecause they cater to students who strugglein mainstream classrooms and who needadditional support.

“You want a small pupil-teacher ratio.You’re also wanting to have other supportsin place, whether it’s youth-care workers,counselling time, education-assistant time,clerical support, etcetera,” Balanuik said.“You typically don’t expect it to pay foritself and have it generate revenue for theschool district.”

A portion of the alternate schools’ highercosts are related to the fact that two of theprograms must pay rent toward the leaseat Columbia Square, which costs $334,000

a year. The district is look-ing to get out of leasing thedowntown property. Rentfor the entire building is$700,000. No word yet onwhere the alternate andadult learner programswill go once the boardoffice moves.

New WestminsterTeachers’ Union presidentGrant Osborne said theunion has been going overthe district’s review withsenior administrators, butthey question how thenumbers were calculated.

“We still have a lot ofquestions about them,” he

said.Two of the alternate schools and as

well as an adult learners’ program are ina unique situation because they pay rent,Osborne said.

“No other schools or programs paysrent,” he noted.

It’s difficult to simply look at num-bers because “education is not a business,”said Osborne, who taught at an alternateschool.

“The real difficult decision is do youlook at the individual programs as indi-vidual entities that either make or cost ordo you take a look at the larger districtas a whole? Look at it as the entity of $60million rather than a specific program thatmight be several hundred thousand dol-lars,” he said.

Between all of the school operating bud-gets combined, the district was short just$2,841 this school year. In other words,schools that had surpluses offset the short-falls at other schools.

New Westminster Secondary School alsocost $474,464 more than its provided fund-ing, due to a combination of teacher sala-ries and utility costs at the aging building,Balanuik said.

There were a number of schools thathad operating surpluses, including Lord

If there was an award for the “nannystate” city of the Lower Mainland, itmight very well go to New Westminster.

Just in the last week, the city has setits sights on smoking in public and nowit’s pondering hiking penal-ties for folks who plant theircars in parking spots reservedfor disabled drivers. The cityalready has a bit of a reputa-tion for social engineering, given its liv-ing wage policy and a sometimes pater-nalistic attitude to its residents.

And, frankly, we like it. Perhaps

it appeals to the disciplinarian in us.We’re tired of strolling through a pub-lic park only to see squirrels gatheringcigarette butts. We’re tired of seeingsmokers jutting out their lower lips and

channelling smoke towardsinnocent bystanders at busstops. And we don’t thinkanyone has the right to smokeanywhere on any public prop-

erty.We’re downright fed up with drivers

who disregard the rights of disableddrivers. Someone mentioned a poten-

tial $450 fine – we say double that andmake the selfish bastards hop on oneleg across McBride Boulevard at rushhour.

And don’t even get us started onratrunners. We were delighted to see theVictoria Hill residents win their battleagainst ratrunners by closing access totheir neighbourhood streets.

And as for all those truck driverswho barrel through residential neigh-bourhoods trying to get their goodsdelivered on time: Keep away fromour suburban streets. We know our fair

burg is stuck in the middle of transpor-tation crossroads, but that doesn’t giveyou the right to put our children andpets at risk of injury and death.

Yes, it may sound as if we’re about togo hang out our window and start yell-ing, “We’re mad as hell, and we’re notgoing to take it anymore.” In fact, wemay.

For now we will confine our rantto the editorial page – but mark ourwords, if we see a truck driver smokingin a disabled parking spot, we may notbe able to control ourselves.

Embrace ourRoyal City brand

Niki Hope’s column, Is ittime to drop the ‘RoyalCity’ tag? (The Record,

April 4) raises interesting andimportant questions for NewWestminster. Our outward identi-ty, our “brand,” should align withour collective mission, vision andvalues, which, in turn, shouldinform and inspire every corpo-rate decision we make.

To me, Royal Cityis an excellent brand,one we should keep,reinforce and leverageto the full.

As a city, we compete withmany other municipalities forpeople, businesses, attention andresources. In any competition,differentiation is key. Royal Cityis a very unique and well-knownslogan that not only sets us apart,it succinctly conveys a lot of posi-tive and attractive meaning aboutour town.

“Royal City” suggests historyand significance. Westminster isthe seat of British power, so it’slogical that New Westminsterwould share a certain connec-tion to the monarchy. We are avery old city known for carryingon age-old traditions such asMay Day and the Ancient andHonourable Hyack Anvil Battery,honouring the monarchy.

Emphasizing our authenticand enviable heritage in a veryyoung metropolitan region isnot something we should be shyabout. And underscoring the pastin no way undermines a currentand forward-looking orientation.

On the contrary, being authen-

tically old-fashioned has becomethe epitome of hip.

Today, everything handmade,artisanal and local is in demand.If it’s retro, kitschy and funky, it’scool. Vancouver’s Main Street,once just plain old and dowdy (Ilived there for a while in the ’70s),is a thriving centre of fashion andurban chic.

But old stuff alone does notmake for a happen-ing youth scene herein the Royal City. Youneed young people.Lots and lots of them.

Attracting more young people(and retaining the ones we have)should be a top priority.

To make New Westminster athriving youth destination, we’regoing to need a lot of vision, alot of time, a lot of jobs and a lotof money. A “with the times”rebrand will not help, and couldmake things much worse. Theopposite of cool is trying to becool.

New Westminster is like aplace that time forgot, full ofcharming anachronism and eso-teric knowledge. Hyack is a wordknown only to locals who proud-ly translate it for outsiders. Westill have pageants. Old-schoolparades with people in whitepants and funny green jacketsmarch through town like it wasthe ’60s.

Speaking of green jackets, Ijust got my very own Hyack blaz-er the other day. It’s pretty cool.No. Very cool.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

City can’t go it alone on bridgeDear Editor:

Re: City pushes for four-lane Pattullo with tolls,The Record, March 7.

Interesting that this report is similar to the find-ings from the consultation sessions I attended withTransLink. How much did this cost the taxpayersof New Westminster to expand a report alreadydone or likely to be under final consideration byTransLink and the mayors’ council? While the resi-dents wait for New Westminster to finish the mastertransportation plan, our political leaders insist ongoing it alone. Are the people most affected beingleft out of the consultation now forced to rely oncity staff and elected officials in the final days oftheir mandate (civic elections are coming in the fallof 2014)?

For many residents in our city there have been

increasing requests for the inclusion of the StormontConnector. This is the missing link from the PattulloBridge through Burnaby to Highway 1 (Google it tofind out more).

Just because “someone” says this is not up fordiscussion does not make it fact! Fact is propertywas purchased, land is reserved, and for too manyyears this option has been left out of the regionaltransportation dialogue. Now, with the new PortMann capacity, increased population and goodsmovement, is it time to discuss this option again?

For way too many years New Westminster hasand is increasingly feeling the pressure as a resultof its connection to four – yes, four – major bridgesover the Fraser River. Is it any wonder our city iscaught in the middle!

New Westminster is the centre where goods andpeople must travel through to arrive at more heavily

populated and ever growing communi-ties?

If you accept that premise, it becomesclear there must be a way to get over it, getthrough it, go around it or go under NewWestminster. So the question causing allthe expense and consternation is how?

Forget all the negative Nellies for amoment and consider the Cariboo inter-change, 10th Street at McBride and thePattullo Bridge.

Then look at both sides of this corridoron a map. It becomes clear that what wehave here is a “missing link” – a connec-tion through Burnaby.

Lots of discussion needs to take placeon how best to accomplish this. It will notbe easy, but without it I don’t believe NewWestminster or Burnaby will ever havetraffic peace and the rest of the LowerMainland will forever be in gridlock.

Let’s be clear, it has to be discussed inthe context of increased public transit likebuses, SkyTrain and light rail.

Not only do we need to move peopleand goods, we also need to move anexpanding workforce that does not pre-

scribe to vehicles. If New Westminstercontinues to operate in a bubble like ourmayor and council, many suspect the reso-lution that will come will not be appreci-ated, and that is very troubling.

James Crosty, New Westminster

Questioning the mayorDear Editor:

Re: City pushes for four-lane Pattullowith tolls and A ‘reasonable’ approach in asea of politics, The Record, March 7.

Intriguing comment by the mayor, asquoted in Theresa McManus’ article andyour editorial: ”We have no room withoutdestroying our neighbourhoods and …parks.”

No more room for more people to travelthrough New Westminster in their cars,but lots more room for adding more peo-ple and cars in the city. I presently countabout a dozen (that’s 12) new highriseseither being planned or under construc-tion in the city.

How is there “room” for one but notthe other?

What are we missing? Could someoneplease explain!

Balanuik noted that it’s

more expensive to runsmall schools.

“With larger schools,you achieve cost efficien-cies – (you) can achieveeconomies of scale,” hesaid.

That may explain whysome of the district’ssmaller elementary schoolswere over budget: HumePark (–$84,397), Howay(–$20,000) and ConnaughtHeights (–$149,232).

New Westminster is calling on all lev-els of government to support a nationaldementia strategy.

That’s one of the resolutions the cityis taking to the Lower Mainland LocalGovernment Association conferencein May. The city’s resolution also urgesall citizens to become more aware andengaged about the far-reaching effects ofthe disease.

“It’s quite devastating, not only to theperson themselves, but also to the care-giver,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “Thereis no known cause or cure.”

Williams said her mother suffered fromdementia in the latter part of her life.

“Canada has an aging population,” shesaid. “This is going to be a major prob-lem.”

Dialogue about a proposed coal facilityin Surrey is heating up among municipali-ties.

New Westminster city council has direct-ed staff to participate in the Corporation ofDelta’s independent interagency reviewcommittee, which will be considering theFraser Surrey Docks proposed direct trans-fer coal facility in Surrey. Delta invitedNew Westminster to participate in thecommittee, which aims to address con-cerns and answer outstanding questions,especially those relating to potential healthimpacts associated with the facility.

A staff report stated that the committeewon’t have official status with Port MetroVancouver’s permitting process but wouldgive more opportunity for research anddialogue to help address local and regionalconcerns about the facility.

“While the facility is expected to createa number of jobs within the region, thereare a number of potential environmentalissues, both local and global, and socialissues, particularly related to health, thathave not been resolved to the satisfactionof many local stakeholders, raising con-cerns about the sustainability of operatingthe facility,” stated the staff report.

Port Metro Vancouver received an appli-cation to allow the Fraser Surrey Docks

to accommodate a facility where coal isloaded from trains onto barges using aconveyor system. The coal, which wouldbe mined in the United States and shippedto Fraser Surrey Docks by rail, wouldeventually be sent by barge to China.

The staff report states that concernshave been raised about local environmen-tal and health impacts by the coal facility’soperation, as well as the global impact ofexpanded coal use. Among the concernsare engine emission from trains and tugboats, greenhouse gas emission from burn-ing coal, dust from train movements andcoal transfer operation, chemicals used intrain cars and barges for dust suppression,soil and water contamination and risksrelated to explosions, fire, collisions andspills.

In related news, New Westminster MLAJudy Darcy recently wrote to Port MetroVancouver urging it to engage in a com-prehensive, independent health assess-ment about the impact of the proposedfacility. While the NDP supports B.C.’scoal industry and coal exports, as morethan 5,000 British Columbians work andsupport their families through coal min-ing and related industries, she said thatignoring the “very real public concerns”that have been raised about the FraserSurrey Docks project threatens to tarnishthe port’s reputation and undermine itscredibility.

◗ON THE TOWNTop 5 Things To Do this weekend ◗P13Artists in the Boro hold a Spring Fling ◗P13

The Vagabond Players have steppedout of their comfort zone for their newspring production.

Goodnight Desdemona (Good MorningJuliet) opened April 3 at the Bernie LeggeTheatre in Queen’s Park and runs untilApril 19.

A press release from the group notesthat audiences at the preview raved aboutthe production, which is being describedas “exceptionally well acted and visuallyappealing.”

Ann-Marie MacDonald’s play takesa comedic romp through the world ofShakespeare, following the story ofConstance Ledbelly, a modern-day aca-demic who finds herself transported to theworlds of Othello and Romeo and Juliet.

“Karryn Ransom is outstanding asConstance Ledbelly, the transported aca-demic, and her bravura performance issomething that every theatre lover shouldput on their must-see list,” the releasesays.

She’s supported by a cast of actors whothrow themselves into various Shakespeareroles.

Among them are Chris Fofonoff, whois described as a “deliciously flamboyant”Othello and then returns as Juliet’s nurse.

Rose MacNeil offers up a “magnificentAmazonian” Desdemona, then flings her-self into playing the impetuous Mercutio.

Kurtis Maguire brings “dash andvitality” to the part of Tybalt and rompsthrough the role of a knowing ghost whohelps Constance.

“Alex Ross delivers a wonderfully sin-ister performance as the scheming Iago,and Boris Bilic and Carly June Friesen pro-

vide tremendous fun as Romeo and Juliet,saved from calamity and forced to livewith each other when they are far moreinterested in finding new adventures,” therelease notes.

The play has won many awards, includ-ing the Governor General’s Award, and itdemands top-notch work from both the

performers and the technical team – led bylighting and set designer Matt Davenport.

The production is directed by MichaelParker.

Shows are on Thursdays throughSaturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.,until April 19.

The Bernie Legge Theatre is in Queen’s

Park (behind the Arenex).Tickets are $15, or $13 for seniors and

students. Call 604-521-0412 to reserve.After its run at the Bernie Legge, the

Vagabond Players are taking the produc-tion to the Theatre B.C. Greater VancouverZone Festival at the Metro Theatre on May4.

Sunset sportis not goingout quietly

For bowling propri-etor Keith Stevenson, OldOrchard Lanes will not gogentle into that good night.

The former owner ofHastings Bowl was contentto ease into semi-retire-ment following a fire thatdestroyed the abandonedbowling centrein the summerof 2007.

But whenthe last remain-ing five-pin cen-tre in Burnabyat Old Orchardwas threat-ened with clo-sure four yearsago, Stevensonstepped in toensure its sur-vival.

W h e nStevenson took over heput in computerized scor-ing, brightened things upwith a new coat of paintand spruced up one of thelast remaining houses withhardwood lanes.

“It was a bowling alleybefore, now it’s a bowlingcentre.

“Bowling is a passionfor me. It’s the industryand the people involved init,” Stevenson said.

But with no lease anda month-to-month rentalarrangement, Stevenson isunsure just what’s in storeon the Old Orchard site.

Stevenson has beeninvolved in the bowling

industry for the past 35years, having lived throughits heyday and now possib-ley its swan song.

In the 1990s, HastingsBowl was coined “The lit-tle house that could” byThe Record for its excellentYouth Bowling Councilprogram.

At the same time, OldOrchard was drawing

upwards of1,600 regularleague bowlers.

Today, thatnumber hasdwindled downto approximate-ly 440.

“It’s a sadstate thatthe good oldCanadian sportis fading away,”he said.

Old Orchardis still actively

involved in youth bowl-ing, leagues for the devel-opmentally challenged andthe high-average leaguethat has been going strongfor the past 34 years.

But it’s mostly seniorsnow, Stevenson says, whopopulate the league bowl-ing teams.

“It would be a shamenot to have the opportunityfor seniors to come out andget some light exercise,”Stevenson said.

Some of the all-timegreats, including PaulKitamura, can still be foundat Old Orchard.

Goal scorer: Anne Hodges, in black, scored the only goal for the Burnaby Devils in a 1-1 opening day draw withthe Vancouver Green Hawks in under-12 Tier 2 Pool A girls’ field hockey at Cariboo Oval last Saturday.

Jiu-jitsu master No. 1 in the worldfollowing win at Pan Ams

Scott Boudreau is standing ontop of the world in the Master 2lightweight purple belt division inBrazilian jiu-jitsu.

He is also ranked fourth in theworld in the open weight categoryfollowing the win.

Boudreau, who won single titlesin 2012 and ’13 at the InternationalBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion-ships, won all five of this matchesen route to the recent Pan Americantitle at Irvine, California last month.

“It meant a lot to me because Ilost it last year,” said Boudreau ofhis early exit in the second round ofthe 2013 Pans.

This time out, Boudreau, whoruns the Budo Mixed Martial Artsschool in North Burnaby with train-ing partner Mike Hansen, made nomistake, winning all five matches inthe purple belt division in a span ofless than two hours.

“The day after, I didn’t do verymuch.

“It’s all about staying calm. It’s avery big event,” he added.

In the leadup to the Pans,Boudreau conditioned himself withsparring sessions of two and a halfhours straight and worked on build-ing up his legs for what was ahead.

That strategy came in handy, par-ticularly in his last two bouts, where

he controlled much of the actionfrom the more difficult on-top posi-tion.

“That’s the beauty of jiu-jitsu, theability to fight on your back. It’s avery powerful access to many moresubmissions,” he said.

Boudreau won his match overRobert Schuster on aggression in ascoreless semifinal.

In the final match, he betteredlast year’s Pans champion DanielWilson from California on advan-tage points.

At 40 years of age, Boudreau, whocompetes as a purple belt under DonWhitefield at West Coast Jiu-Jitsu, isunsure what master division he willcompete in in future years.

“I don’t know, competition tome is like having fun. I’ve had noinjuries, I’m 40. I’m good with that.I’ll keep competing until I’m tired,I guess,” said Boudreau, who willlook to threepeat at the world cham-pionships in October.

“I like a good challenge, as longas it’s safe.”
