‘Plans to control coal dust must be in place’ Grant Granger

City seeks to protect rental housing Aim to keep current buildings and encourage more to be built Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Rental housing in New Westminster is being knocked down without anything to replace it, so the city has come up with some ways it hopes will reverse the trend. The situation is getting serious because the median age of the city’s rental stock is approaching 50 years, said a report to Monday’s council meeting. In 2012, 51 rental units were demolished but “there has

been virtually no construction of secured market rental housing in the last 10 years.” The report from planning manager Bev Grieve says unless incentives are created the shortage will worsen. The plan she presented recommends business licence fees for rental housing be capped at the current rate for five years. To address the issue, the city is also considering: • continuing its moratorium on converting rental buildings to strata; • not supporting rezoning properties for higher density development;

• requiring developers tearing down rental buildings to have a plan for tenant relocation and replacement housing options; and • exploring transferring the allowed density on the property elsewhere to preserve the existing purpose-built stock. To increase investment in rental stock construction, increase the life of existing stock, and improve their operating costs, the report recommends: • using the density bonus program to permit additional construction of rental units on the site; 4x1.25_book_drive_ad_final.pdf • reducing building permit fees for

additional units up to 50 per cent; and • consider relaxing engineering service requirements when adding new units. “We have to acknowledge that buildings age out,” said Coun. Betty McIntosh. “Do we want these people to start becoming slum landlords? Basically, no. We want the upgrades happening. The policy is going to have to address what we can do, not just say ‘you can’t do that. You’re going to have to do something to keep your buildings in shape.’ ” 1 12-03-05 1:20 PM Please see aFFOrDabLe, a7

Port Metro Vancouver insists the Fraser Surrey Docks must come up with a plan to control dust before approval will be given to a proposed coal transfer facility across the river from New Westminster. “Any fugitive dust from any marine site we want to make sure there is mitigation put in place. We ensure that our terminal operators are moving proactively and have mitigation measures in place. We do that for all of our bulk operators,” said the port authority’s director of planning and development Jim Crandles at Monday’s city council meeting. “Any time you deal with a material in bulk, it generates dust. It’s the major issue in any terminal whether it be grain, coal, cement. The key to it is ensuring there are appropriate mitigation measures on site in the handling.” Fraser Surrey Docks is proposing to build a facility to transfer coal from trains originating in the U.S. directly to barges that would travel the Fraser River to Texada Island where it would be put in freighters for shipment overseas.

WRITING A GOOD ENDING TO A GOOD LIFE Many of us have a will. Some of us have set up our funeral arrangements. Few of us have an advance care plan. An advance care plan talks about what our society does not talk about - what we want for ourselves when we are dying. Unfortunately, many people have not shared their end of life preferences with loved ones. The New Westminster Public Library is offering a unique workshop called Writing a Good Ending to a Good Life: Advance Care Planning on Saturday, February 16 at 2:00 pm. A local physician, Dr. Joelle Bradley from the Fraser Northwest Division of Family Practice, will discuss how to explore your values and wishes so you can prepare your advance care plan. To register, please call 604-527-4667.

LIBRARY BOOK CLUB Join the Book Club! The New Westminster Public Library’s Read with Us Book Club offers a chance to read a book and join a lively discussion. This month the club is reading The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Maggoch and will discuss it on Thursday, February 28 at 7:00 pm. First published as Those Foolish Things, the book follows a group of British pensioners who move to a refurbished hotel in India in order to save money. However, the hotel is not as luxurious as advertised. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was recently made into a movie starring Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench. Copies of the book can be borrowed from the Library. Please pre-register at 604-527-4667.

The Century House Association and New Westminster Parks, Culture and Recreation are continuously working to ensure that Century House is a community focal point for adults 50+. To this end, we want everyone to feel welcome, included and involved. In 2012, 162 Century House members completed an inclusion survey. More specifically, respondents were asked if they were supportive of ideas to enhance inclusion and what they felt were the opportunities and challenges associated with enhanced inclusion. Interviews were also conducted with facility managers in other municipalities as to what they are doing to enhance inclusion.

702 Salter Street Purpose: The purpose of this bylaw is to address an inconsistency in the Official Community Plan between the Land Use Designation and the Development Permit Area Designation for the site at 702 Salter Street. The Land Use Designation is currently split. The majority of the site is currently designated (RL) Residential Low Density with a smaller part designated (RM) Residential Medium Density. The site is entirely within the boundaries of Residential Development Permit Area #9, East Queensborough which anticipates a multi family form of development. The proposed bylaw would designate the entire site as (RM) Residential Medium Density. Queries: Development Services Department: 604 527 4588 Inspection of Documents: A copy of the proposed bylaws, supporting staff reports and relevant background documentation may be inspected at the Development Services Department (Planning), City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, British Columbia, Monday to Friday inclusive (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Thursday, January 31, 2013 to Monday, February 18, 2013.

So did others. A light bulb went off. MacGillivray used her connections in the theatre and

film industry, as well as email, to get the word out for volunteer makeup artists, hairdressers, manicurists. Her first beauty night attracted 73 women. MacGillivray says the simple act of extending her feet for a pedicure or allowing her hair to be cut can help a woman going through abuse or a difficult time rebuild her trust in others. “It makes people feel good, feel

safe,” says MacGillivray. “That makes people feel validated.” Each of the volunteers brings their professional experience, but they’re also trained to recognize the warning signs of abuse, addiction and even health issues like diabetes and depression. Other volunteers are on hand to provide child care, counseling, as well as workshops for things like creative writing, drama, arts and crafts, and baking. After all, says MacGillivray, the beauty nights are about fun. “Makeovers make people feel good,” says MacGillivray. “We listen to them and as we get to know them, we learn about them. They just want to be heard.” • MacGillivray is looking for Beauty Night volunteers in Burnaby and New West, as well as space near SkyTrain to be able to train them. She’s also available to speak to community groups interested in getting involved. To learn more about Beauty Night or to fill out a volunteer application, go to www.beautynight.org.

A report to council earlier in the day outlined some of the city’s concerns about possible dust since Queensborough is 1,500 metres north of the facility and the Quayside is 2,000 metres away. “[While] the prevailing winds in the area are generally easterly and westerly, occasional southerly winds could increase these levels near New Westminster at times,” said the report that went on to say in its conclusion, “While the Port informs that the environmental and health impacts from the

construction and operation of the facility are manageable, this will depend on the degree to which identified controls will be applied.” Crandles said the port authority has received concerns from many corners about the environmental impacts of the facility. It has been criticized for its review process being strictly internal, a concern raised by Coun. Bill Harper. “The port is the reviewing agency for this proposal. We work within a mandate, which is within facilitating trade. It has a

We have been very clear about the process from when we started this. Most will know we sent out a notification to 3,200 residents in the area, to the municipalities affected and First Nations, long before the opponents of dealing with coal came to the forefront.” Crandles pointed out to council the port recently approved another coal expansion project at Neptune Terminals in North

Vancouver and has posted the conditions for the environment online. “Whatever the decision will be [for Fraser Surrey Docks] we will make sure that is transparent as well,” said Crandles. The concerns raised in the city report will be conveyed to Fraser Surrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouver staff. “Other environmental concerns related to the proposal include the potential for the water and soil contamination and accidental spillage of coal into the Fraser River,” said the report. “Although

City needs a walking strategy, group says New Westminster’s transit, bicycles and pedestrians committee wants the city to come up with a “comprehensive walking strategy.” The committee recommended to council a staff person or a consultant be appointed to champion the strategy that would be based on ‘best practices for pedestrians’ used in other cities. “Although customers may arrive by bus, train or vehicle, everyone walks into a store and therefore improving the pedestrian environment means a better environment for business,” said the committee. The committee called on future decisions on pedestrian matters be developed in consultation with pedestrians and come from observing behaviour and looking at pedestrian and vehicular statistics. It asked that push buttons to activate pedestrian traffic signals be eliminated at intersections where full vehicle traffic signals already exist. They suggest no obstacles, like utility poles, parking meters and sandwich boards be placed on sidewalks in the future. Additionally, contractors should be required to develop a plan with the city to accommodate pedestrian traffic before beginning construction

and then be required to abide by the plan. It also asked for an education program for motorists and cyclists to teach them the fights of pedestrians and to encourage paying attention to their safety. City staff told the committee many of the recommendations are already in line with current policies, but the “implications of some recommendations such as pedestrian push buttons and utility poles on sidewalk area will have to be assessed.” ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PuBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Doyle’s departure The B.C. Auditor-General, John Doyle, will not accept an extension to his term, as offered by a legislative committee which initially said it did not want to renew his contract. He has instead accepted an appointment as auditor-general of the Australian state of Victoria. Doyle rubbed the Liberal government the wrong way on many occasions. One such Liberal was MLA Eric Foster, whose expenses in regards to renovations of his constituency office in Vernon were not properly accounted for. The building was owned by his constituency assistant’s husband, and even though Foster was being audited, he chaired the committee which recommended Doyle not be re-appointed. Doyle also dismayed the government by looking into the $6 million in legal expenses paid by the government after Dave Basi and Bob Virk agreed to plead guilty in the B.C. Rail corruption case. Not only was this reimbursement against government policy, it came about in mid-trial, just as former finance minister Gary Collins was set to testify. While B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that Doyle cannot have access to the detailed expenses billed by Basi and Virk’s lawyers, this information will come out eventually — perhaps through a public inquiry, which other political parties have pledged to call, should the Liberals be defeated in the May election. Doyle said Tuesday that he was prepared to stay in B.C. for a full second term of six years. However, the committee only offered him two more years and he wasn’t prepared to take that, given how political the entire issue had become. An auditor-general is expected to ask thorough questions and act as an advocate for taxpayers. Doyle has done that very well, and he will be sorely missed. —Black Press

NDP’s fortunes take hit in riding re-draw The term “gerrymander” was coined in 1812 by the Boston Gazette to describe the manipulation of electoral riding boundaries to benefit one party over another. It was a response to thengovernor Elbridge Gerry’s re-draw of the state senate election map to benefit his party, a map so bizarre one riding was said to resemble a salamander. Get it? Gerry-mander. Fears of map manipulation have been around as long as there have been ridings to win or lose. And federal politicians are apt to cry the “G” word every 10 years when the Electoral Boundaries Commission re-draws the maps, which this year includes creating 30 new ridings, six of them in B.C. If the proposals are approved, the lines in Burnaby and New Westminster will change significantly. In Burnaby, a new riding will be created (Burnaby South), and the current Burnaby-Douglas riding will be trimmed in Burnaby and a chunk of North Van will be stapled onto it to

create Burnaby North-Seymour. With the re-draw, New Westminster will be consolidated into one riding. Today it’s split in two, sharing one riding with Coquitlam and the other with Burnaby. The changes will create a single riding that includes all New West and a slice of east Burnaby. So who will benefit, and who will lose from these moves? The NDP’s Kennedy Stewart won Burnaby-Douglas by just two per cent of the vote in 2011. He says if everyone voted the same again in the newly imagined Burnaby North-Seymour, he’d lose by seven per cent to the Conservative candidate. North Van tends to be much bluer than Tommy Douglas’s old stomping ground. Score: Tories, 1; NDP -1. In New West, the new riding

would easily go to the NDP. But the future of NDP MP Fin Donnelly (currently New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody) will be more uncertain should he run in the new riding that drops the chunk of lefty New West, and adds Anmore and Belcarra. Donnelly only won by 4.5 per cent in 2011, and the additions to his riding come from Tory MP James Moore’s riding, where the Conservatives stomped the NDP by a 26 per cent margin in 2011. Score: Tories, 2; NDP, - 2. The electoral commission’s mandate is to aim for about 105,000 residents in each riding, while seeking to respect natural and historic boundaries. Population growth explains the creation of Burnaby’s new riding—Burnaby South’s main population centre being the Metrotown area. Is this area more Conservative leaning? Will Burnaby will finally get a Tory MP? A re-vote today would give NDP the seat (but demographics in the riding are shifting). So then: Tories, up 2 and the NDP down 1.

Overall in the two cities, the Tories seem to benefit most. But is there manipulation going on? In each province the electoral commission has three members. It is chaired by a judge appointed by the chief justice of the province, and the two members are appointed by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Are the commissioners nonpartisan? I have no doubt. They are B.C. Appeal Court Justice John E. Hall, former schools superintendent Stewart Ladyman and J. Peter Meekison, chancellor of Royal Roads University. Do people participating in the public process seek to influence the commissioners’ decisions in a way that would favour one party over another? Of course—they’d consider themselves remiss if they didn’t. MPs have a few weeks to voice their complaints, and then the new map is set to be approved this summer. I doubt local NDP members will be celebrating. twitter.com/chrismbryan

Affordable housing ‘barely exists’ ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

To create and extend rental stock the city may allow increases in density, cutting building permit fees in half, processing rezoning and building permit applications at the same time, reducing parking requirements, and may also consider relaxing servicing requirements. In addition to the report’s proposals, Coun. Bill Harper said there should be legislation preventing strata councils from having bylaws restricting the rights of condo owners to rent their homes. “I don’t see why I, if I was a condominium owner, I can’t rent it just like I can rent my house,” said Harper. Grieve’s report also notes municipalities could be helped in their quest to keep and grow rental stock by participation from the provincial and federal governments. They could do that by providing tax or funding incentives to rental owners looking to extend the life of their buildings and re-introduce programs to stimulate construction. The province, said the report, could be a big help if it allowed cities to have control over rental

demolition and allow rentalonly zones, something the City of Burnaby has proposed but was shot down by the provincial government. Grieve got support on that count from councillors and from ACORN spokesman Noel Ouellette, who works on the advocacy organization’s housing campaign for healthy homes. “Without a coordinated effort from the provincial and federal government it’s very hard for a city like New Westminster to do very much, because New West doesn’t have the money that the provincial government and federal government have,” said Ouellette. While there are lots of apartments in New Westminster, the rents are so high most people can’t afford them, he added. “Affordable rental housing, it barely exists here in New Westminster,” said Ouellette, who feels he’s lucky to have found a rental unit in the Queen’s Park area. “Most people that are looking for places they’re on disability, or a low-fixed income and they can’t really afford high rents. Here in New Westminster they’re building so many condos that the average people like myself,

we can’t really afford them.” The city staff report notes the median renter household income in New Westminster is $34,000 compared to $66,000 for homeowner households, putting home ownership out of the renters’ reach. The percentage of renters in New West dropped from 61 in 1991 to 46 in 2006, although the actual numbers went from 13,000 to 12,500. If something isn’t done, the report suggests it may result in overcrowding and lack of maintenance in existing units. A survey of Lower Mainland municipalities shows New West has about eight per cent of the region’s rental stock with 9,235 units in 348 properties. The majority was built from 1950 to 1970 when there were federal incentives. Most are wood frame that could be at risk for demolition and redevelopment, but only seven buildings are at moderate to high risk of being redeveloped in the next decade. Only Vancouver (4,902) and Burnaby (363) have more rental properties, according to the survey. City staff will take council’s comments and tweak the draft policy and then take it to the public for discussion.

The warm summer days were spent catching crayfish in the neighbouring creek or raiding the huckleberry bushes of their tart berries in the shadows of Douglas fir and western red cedar… ah, it was great being a kid! Wetlands—including ponds, marshes, swamps, bogs and fens—are the world’s most productive ecosystems and are extremely important resources. Did you know Canada has more wetlands than any other country? About 1.5-million square kilometres. That’s a quarter of the world’s wetlands! As some of the world’s most productive ecosystems, wetlands work hard

for us. They perform functions such as water supply and regulation of flow, water purification, prevention of erosion, provisions of wildlife habitat and recreational playtime (especially when I was a kid). Healthy wetlands lead to healthy streams which flow into nearby rivers like the Fraser. Unfortunately, wetlands are also threatened. Long gone is the marshy playground and creek that I enjoyed, now buried under paved roads and manicured lawns. The estuarine wetlands in the Fraser River Delta support the highest densities of overwintering waterfowl, shorebirds, and birds of prey anywhere in Canada. Between 1976 and 1982 roughly 28 per cent of these wetlands were destroyed as a result of urban and agricultural

development. Once we lose a wetland it’s hard to get it back to its natural state. As part of our Discovery Days Drop-in programs and in celebration of World Wetlands Day last Saturday the Fraser River Discovery Centre partnered with BC Wildlife Federation’s Wetlands Education Program so families could learn first-hand about this valuable ecosystem. Like B.C. and World Rivers Day, World Wetlands Day only happens once a year, but we need to work at keeping our local waterways clean and unpolluted year round. Water is vital to all life. Let’s work together to keep it healthy for future generations. Cindy Sale is event coordinator at the Fraser River Discovery Centre.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies believe they made big strides in making themselves ambidextrous Monday evening. With a heavily-weighted righthanded lineup, the ’Bellies went into the Western Lacrosse Association’s entry draft at the Langley Events Centre looking to improve the southpaw side, from front to back. First of all, they took care of the left front end by selecting sniper Logan Schuss of the Delta Islanders. He put up a remarkable 65 points (34 goals and 31 assists) in just nine regular-season games for the junior club, and then went on to lead the league in playoff scoring with 53 points (27,26) in 10 games. Schuss is heading into his senior season with the Ohio State Buckeyes. He’s also been drafted by Columbus, where Ohio State is based, of the Major Lacrosse League, a professional field loop. “He was by far the best player and we got him in the No. 2 spot,” said

New West president Dan Richardson. “Our players are just drooling in the fact he’s going to be on the left side.” Richardson was impressed with Schuss having a big upper body who can put up points and compared him to former Salmonbellie great Geordie Dean, who scored 1,412 points, including 569 goals, in 503 senior games. “If he can be half the player Geordie Dean was we’re pretty excited,” said Richardson. “He’s excited to be a Salmonbellie. Logan has told us he’d like to try the MLL for the next couple of years. “We’re willing to wait for him and work for him. You just can’t pass up on a kid that is that talented. I don’t care what people say.” Right behind Schuss at third overall, the Salmonbellies selected Jeff Cornwall, a left-handed transition player with the Minto Cup champion Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs who is already in his second season with the Edmonton Rush in the National Lacrosse League.

‘We think he might be the sleeper in this draft’ continued from previous page

“He’s a big boy. We’ve been watching him for a while,” said Richardson. “He’s like a left-handed Curtis Manning who can run the floor. “The maturity level of Logan Schuss and Jeff Cornwall, as good as they are on the floor, they’re just as impressive off the floor.” In the second round, 10th overall the Salmonbellies took care of their left back side by taking Jr. ’Bellie and New Westminster native Reid Mydske. “We were crossing schuss our fingers and toes that he was still going to be there at 10. That’s where we had him rated. He’s got a huge upside, plays a defensive game and moves the ball up the floor.” With the next pick, they took another Jr. ’Bellie in forward Keegan Bal (29-28-57 in 16 games and 10-6-26 in seven playoff games). “He’s 6-1, very athletic, with good numbers,” said Richardson. “We like his speed and his athleticism.” They went to the Jr. ’Bellie well once again in the third round by picking Reagan Harding (2027-46) 17th overall. “We think he might be the sleeper in this draft.” In the fourth round, they took defender Matt Ziin, a teammate of Schuss in Delta who had a strong playoff. Knowing the 2013 draft would be a deep one, the Salmonbellies stockpiled picks with trades the last two years to get the extra selections in the first two rounds.

New ’Bellies bench boss When he left the Langley Events Centre following Monday’s Western Lacrosse Association draft, Dan Richardson’s job wasn’t done. The next morning, the New Westminster Salmonbellies president went about telling his team about not only the big changes with the influx of new players on the bench but also the ones behind the bench. He told them head coach Ken Thomas was stepping down for personal reasons and assistants Chris Gill and Sheldon Palidwor were being let go. In their place will be former assistant Steve Goodwin and the rest of his intermediate Salmonbellies staff, former Burnaby Lakers head coach Russ Heard, former New West minor lacrosse president Jamie Stewart and Darrin London. The four friends who grew up playing together led the intermediate team to the 2012 provincial title. Richardson said with Thomas having lots going on in his life, the executive took the opportunity to take a look at the team which missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years in 2012 and decided a wholesale change was in order. “Ken opened the door for taking it in a new direction,” said Richardson, who found it difficult telling Gill and Palidwor about the decision on Tuesday. “That was a tough conversation I had this morning. They’re all great guys, and great lacrosse guys, but you don’t make the playoffs and things have to change. We all have to take a piece of that, myself included,” said Richardson, who added Thomas will remain with the team in a undetermined capacity.

“It exceeded our expectations,” said Richardson of their draft. • Former Jr. ’Bellies star Tyler Digby, who is heading into his senior season at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh where he plays lacrosse and football, was taken sixth overall by the Burnaby Lakers. He will wait to see if he’ll be selected in the CFL draft May 6 or if he gets a training camp tryout before deciding whether he’ll play for the Lakers. New West junior Brandon Goodwin was picked seventh overall by the defending WLA champion Langley Thunder.

Sales tax proposed for TransLink A new regional sales tax adding up to 0.5 per cent to the cost of local goods is being proposed by Metro Vancouver mayors as one of the new tools they want to help fund TransLink. At 0.5 per cent the tax – tacked on top of the seven per cent PST on transactions within Metro Vancouver – would raise an estimated $250 million per year from transactions within Metro Vancouver, according to a technical analysis that examined potential new sources. But mayors’ council chair

Polak and sales tax isn’t the only idea being advanced. The mayors still want the province to enable an annual vehicle levy – an average of $38 per vehicle would generate $50 million – as a short-term option. And road pricing, which could include various forms of tolling or per-kilometre charges on motorists, would be pursued as the favoured longterm transit funding revenue source, embraced by all of the region’s mayors. Other options include either a reallocation of future carbon tax revenue or the implementation of a new regional carbon tax for TransLink. Existing sources like the 17 cent a litre gas tax and TransLink’s property tax are already maxed out, Walton said. He said mayors like the idea of reducing the existing gas tax over time and as other sources come on stream. The mayors have not spelled out how much should be raised in total to support TransLink’s expansion plans or COMPLIMENTARY which sources should be VALET used in the end.

“ We’ll get you back on the road.”

Richard Walton said 0.5 per cent is the “absolute limit” of what he thinks might be proposed, adding just 0.1 or 0.2 per cent would generate “very sizable contributions” of $50 to $100 million. “We expect opposition to come from everywhere,” Walton said. “We’re not expecting the government to say yes right away. We’re not naîve.” The proposals are spelled out in a Jan. 31 letter from the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation to Transportation Minister Mary

British Columbia is home to more than four million people, and it is the most ethnically diverse province in Canada. Almost 30 per cent of British Columbians emigrated to B.C. from another country. The ethnic market in Metro Vancouver is one of the largest of its kind in the world, and as such, demands special attention from marketers. Join Steve Mossop, the President of Insights West, at the RAC Canada event on February 20th, who will share his perspective on the latest statistics on the ethnic market, insights and opinions of from the ethnic consumers, and hear whether BC marketers feel they are properly addressing this market, what strategies they are using to reach these unique segments, and what metrics they use to track their success. Steve Mossop has been in the marketing research industry for over 20 years and started Insights West in April of 2012 after leading the efforts of Ipsos Reid in Western Canada for 18 years and is a frequent public speaker in BC on topics such as ethnic marketing, digital trends, social media, consumer confidence and retail trends.
