Pattullo traffic is upTransLink numbers confirm what residents see: Coté

Grant [email protected]

TransLink statistics seem to back up New Westminster’s worst fears.

Counts culled by the NewsLeader from TransLink’s website show traffic volume during afternoon rush hour on the Pattullo Bridge has increased in both directions by more than six per cent since tolls were introduced on the new Port Mann Bridge.

Traffic heading from New Westminster to Surrey from 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays was an average of 8,690 in the last two weeks of November 2012 before the toll was first instituted Dec. 1, 2012. In the first three weeks of January 2014 that TransLink recorded (no count done Jan. 6-10) the same time-span count rose to 9,292, an increase of 6.5 per cent. Most of the escalation came recently since the average in December 2013 was only 8,677.

Traffic coming the other direction—Surrey to New West—in the afternoon rose by 6.1 per cent from November 2012, but the increase is a recent phenomenon.

New district boss closed seven schools during his time in VictoriaGrant [email protected]

John Gaiptman has put out a few fires in his days as superintendent and CEO for the Greater Victoria school district so he’s up to the challenge of battling the infernos that have consumed the New Westminster school district.

Today (Feb. 14) is Gaiptman’s last

day in his Victoria office. Tomorrow he’ll board the ferry

for his new home, on Sunday he will set up his new office at Columbia Square and on Monday he’ll begin to get a handle on the issues facing the New West district.

Last week, the New Westminster board of education named Gaiptman, 58, as its new superintendent

replacing John Woudzia, who took an administrative job with Vancouver Community College at

the beginning of the month.

The board also added CEO to his duties—which in this case means he’ll take on the duties of secretary-

treasurer as well.Gaiptman has worked in the

school system more than 35 years,

qualifying for full pension.He taught special education and

math before being hired by Victoria in 1993 as a principal at Lambrick Park secondary.

He worked in four district administrative positions before being named superintendent in 2002.

“I’m not an old man and I’m in good health,” said Gaiptman in an interview from Victoria on Wednesday.

New school super up for challenge

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERA guest signs a condolence book at a memorial Saturday at John Robson elementary school for Karim Meskine, who was murdered near the 22nd Street SkyTrain station in December. The memorial was organized by members of Meskine’s soccer team.

Former Olympic swimmer Elaine

Tanner says for some athletes, life after

the Games can be the biggest challenge.

Gaiptman said the Victoria district has had to make some tough decisions during his tenure including converting the system to three levels—elementary (K-5), middle (6-8) and secondary (9-12), the same as New Westminster.

“Prior to that we were a little bit of everything,” said Gaiptman, who was also involved in closing seven schools leaving the district with 50. “[The closures were] very difficult because I’m a big believer in public education and in schools.”

He also pointed out graduation rates rose during his tenure.

Gaiptman, though, steps into a situation where a fractured board of trustees is dealing with an accumulated deficit of

more than $5 million it has pay back, and has had acrimonious relationships with parent groups. The divisiveness didn’t bother Gaiptman during his interview with the board.

“I was absolutely blown away by their passion for public education. You do what you have to do, you do what you can for public education,” said Gaiptman. “It is being threatened, and … if you do not truly believe in public education then we are in danger

of losing something that is very special for not only students but for democracy.

“I am walking into New Westminster with my eyes wide open, and I really believe I have the skills necessary to make people be absolutely proud of

the New Westminster school district and proud to be able to send their kids to school in New Westminster. Nobody is pushing me to New West, and if this goes well, that’s great.”

Whether his stay is for a good time or for a long time has yet to be determined.

The announcement from the board last week that Gaiptman would replace Woudzia also said they will continue to search for a new superintendent.

“If they find a dynamic person 10 years younger than I am they would be foolish not to say goodbye to me. I get that, and I understand that. The contract that I signed says give me a month and tell me,” said Gaiptman.

“What I’m hoping is they won’t have to rush into a decision.

Let them find the right person without being under duress. It could be a short time, but it could be a substantial time.”

The first fire Gaiptman may have to deal with concerns the New Westminster secondary parent advisory council. The PAC wanted to know by today (Feb. 14) what programs would be cut and which ones retained in 2014-15 in time to meet out-of-district application deadlines.

Gaiptman, however, said he needs time to ensure everybody has been consulted.

“The last thing I should be doing is saying go ahead and send something out,” said Gaiptman. “I will not be pressured into making an error. For me to make a decision without talking to the principal of the school, I wouldn’t do it … but that doesn’t mean

I’m going to dawdle, or spend all sorts of time to do research, but I do need some time to make sure we’re doing the best thing for the school district.”

NWSS PAC chair Stephen Bruyneel feels the board has had enough time to make up its mind and believes the information it asked for is being prepared and could already be available.

“The school board has had our request for almost a month now,” wrote Bruyneel in an email to Gaiptman. “We want that information—now … So yet another budget process is not good enough for us.”

Bruyneel also told Gaiptman he will update parents with the little information he has “so they can act accordingly to meet the needs of their sons and daughters.”

In November 2012 it was 7,645, and dropped to 7,575 during the three weeks surveyed in December 2013 before bouncing up to 8,139 last month.

The morning rush hour, 6-9 a.m., had a couple of twists to it. The heavy volume coming from Surrey actually dropped 1.5 per cent from November 2012 (8,851) to January 2014 (8,721).

Although the count of traffic using the Pattullo to go to Surrey in the mornings was substantially lower than the other counts, it also showed the biggest increase, as a percentage, rising from 4,528 in November 2012 to 6,026 in January, a leap of 24.9 per cent.

It appears truck traffic wasn’t as big a factor as regular commuters in the rise of traffic.

The daily counts showed vehicles bigger than a car or a light single-unit truck using the Pattullo went from 6,738 in November 2012 to 6,980, a 3.5 per cent increase.

“Certainly the numbers seem to be backing up what people all over the city of New Westminster are seeing,” said Coun. Jonathan Coté, co-chair of the city’s master transportation plan task force.

“Congestion is becoming significantly worse.”

Last week, British Columbia Transportation Minister Todd Stone admitted traffic volume on the Port Mann is down between 5,000 to 6,000 cars a day compared to traffic before the toll was introduced, but he expected the drop to be temporary.

“The province is really trying to stick their head in the ground and says this doesn’t exist,” said Coté.

“This is not a difficult problem to solve it just needs some political willpower to solve and work toward a solution.”

Queen’s Park Residents Association (QPRA) president David Brett said while the statistics don’t reveal where the increased traffic is coming from, Brett believes the answer isn’t hard to figure out.

“It’s most likely toll avoidance. It seems so obvious.”

However, another factor might be the entire South Fraser Perimeter Road, with a direct connection to the Pattullo but not to the Port Mann, opening in December 2013.

• The South Coast Region head for the transportation ministry was to appear at the Queen’s Park Residents’ Association annual general meeting at Centennial Lodge on Sunday (2 p.m.), but has bowed out because of family constraints, said Brett. However, he added the meeting will still include a detailed debriefing on the organization’s request for a total ban on heavy trucks on Royal Avenue.

Many residents said they saw an immediate increase in traffic in New West when tolls on the Port Mann doubled last month.

Unbeatable Concrete Value In New Westminster’s Premier Master-Planned Community

604.523.0733O N N I . C O M


Grant [email protected]

A ward at Royal Columbian Hospital was closed to admitting new patients this week because of a C. difficile outbreak.

The move comes in the wake of last week’s closure of another RCH ward hit by a superbug.

Fraser Health spokeswoman Tasleem Juma confirmed at

least three patients in T5S, a general medical ward, had contracted C. difficile. Outbreaks are declared when three or more patients are determined to have the bacteria that causes diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. While those patients have been isolated, Fraser Health is still allowing visitors—as long as they do the appropriate handwashing. Other

patients in the unit who don’t have it can be discharged.

Juma said the patients have their own medical and cleaning staff to ensure the bacteria doesn’t spread.

It is the first outbreak of C. difficile at RCH since May of last year. Juma said Fraser Health has been successful in trying to reduce outbreaks with

increased deep cleaning of units and promotion of hand washing. She noted C. difficile rates across Fraser Health have dropped by about 40 per cent going from 11.3 cases per 10,000 patient days in 2011-12 to 4.1.

Juma said it is hoped if no new cases come along the hospital will be able to reopen the ward by Monday or Tuesday.

However, the isolation of patients in Ward 5 North at RCH who have come down with CPE, a hard-to-treat superbug resistant to many of medicine’s

most powerful antibiotics, continues. The patients were separated from the rest of the ward, which houses patients with complex cases, on Feb.

3. Since CPE moves slowly it will take a few weeks before Fraser Health can declare the outbreak is over, said Juma.

RCH ward closed by C. difficile outbreak

The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting luncheon Feb. 26 will include a roundtable discussion featuring human resources managers from some of New Westminster’s largest employers, and moderated by chamber consultant and researcher Stephen Bruyneel.

The subject will be the benefits and challenges of incorporating new immigrants into Chamber members’ businesses.

Bruyneel figured providing

a chat format similar to the informal group discussions held on the daytime television show The View would be better than sending out a pamphlet or binder that would sit on a shelf because business owners are too busy.

The chat will feature HR heads Vicki Shillington of Douglas College, Patrick Service from Kruger, Fred Pagotto of Lowe’s, TransLink’s Jalpa Ruparelia and Joanna Whalley from Westminster Savings, as well as Laurie Sing

of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C.

Bruyneel said they will discuss ways to find qualified immigrant employees, how to review a resumé from someone who doesn’t speak English well, and how to keep them working in the long term.

The AGM will be held at the La Perla Ballroom at the River Market on Wednesday Feb. 26, 11:30 a.m.

Tickets are available at newwestchamber.com.

I cannot help but wonder how many of the athletes competing in the 2014 Games in Sochi will be significantly changed because of them.

International competition is one thing, but the Olympics is unparalleled when testing the steeliest of nerves.

I know, as I’ve been there…Every cell in an athlete’s

body is at 100 per cent capacity, having trained and visualized this moment over a lifetime. The difference of a medal finish is measured in a hundredth of a second or a fraction of a centimetre.

There is no margin for error, least of all a chink in one’s psychological armour.

Often, for those who make the podium, it may not be because they are physically superior but that they are able to perform better under immense pressure. Being “in the zone” when it counts, an athlete must trust in their training and place their focus on the performance rather than be anxious about the result. To worry about the podium is the death knell to any potential victory.

I know from firsthand experience that going into the Olympics seated at No. 1 is the worst position from a psychological viewpoint. Everyone wants your seat.

Even the slightest hint of failure in your head will turn out to be a much fiercer opponent than any mere mortal.

Every athlete who has ever walked in the footsteps of the Olympic greats knows what it takes to be there. Each acknowledges years of emotional and physical sacrifice invested to make their dream a reality.

Thus over the course of mere days, the hopes of well-deserving athletes will be joyfully realized or cruelly dashed.

Heroes will emerge from unknowns and superstars will be humbled. Some will be elated – even surprised – but many more

will be disappointed. A few will be devastated. Such is the price of the pursuit

of the Olympic dream.Even for those who proudly

wear their medals, some of these fiercely coveted trinkets will end up in sock drawers rather than display cases.

Touched by a pang of sadness, the flags will be ceremoniously folded away and the Olympic flame doused, in the hope of inspiring a future generation to take up the call. Slowly the adrenalin, which once coursed through the veins of those athletes, will diminish – like the crowds that had cheered them on.

As a consequence of so much attention for so long, the ensuing silence will become deafening for many. Reality will set in.

Real life is not like the highs of an Olympics and—with no eventual substitute—elite athletes may struggle for months or years to refocus on their lives. Many high-profile athletes have faced serious depression after retiring and a few have never fully recovered.

So when you find yourself tuning into this Olympic

spectacle over the next few days and take in the highlights of the athletes’ performances, you may just catch a glimpse of something more… the moments on the podium with the look of joy in contrast to the bitter disappointment etched into other faces.

The most we can truly appreciate from the comfort of our armchairs are mere fragments of these great athletes—snapshots frozen into the framework of Olympic history. What will not be so apparent on our TV screens will be the subsequent fallout that these Games will have on those who have competed in them.

Win, lose or draw is little indication of the impact of an Olympic hangover on their future lives, but one thing is certain they will be forever changed because of them.

Elaine Tanner is a triple Olympic medalist in swimming in the 1968

Games in Mexico. She lives in South Surrey and shares her Olympic experience at www.

questbeyondgold.ca.

Competitive spirit can take its toll

As the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia heads into its second week, the narrative is sounding awfully familiar.

Remember all those horror stories about costs run amok, facilities unfinished or not up to snuff, unseasonably mild weather, displaced and displeased citizens, stray dogs being dispatched?

Hmmm, rewind the clock four years, and we might be talking about Vancouver. Minus the stray dogs part.

Or eight years ago in Turin, Italy.

Winter or Summer, the script for every Olympic Games seems to be coming from the same writer.

It’s already being composed for Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where slums have been razed to make way for sporting facilities and workers have died building those venues.

But the crazy thing about the Olympics, and the trump card the International Olympic Committee carries in its back pocket, nuzzled up against the vast wealth it amasses by governing the Olympic movement, is as soon as the spotlights illuminate the ever-kitchy opening ceremonies, and the first competitors enter the starting gates, all the collateral drama is forgotten.

When it comes to the Olympics, we just can’t help ourselves falling in love all over again. Especially when the memories of being a host city are still so fresh.

Maybe it’s the sheer volume of Olympic hype and coverage that overwhelms us every couple of years.

Maybe we’re just suckers for the human interest stories and athletic dramas that are played out on the ski slopes, ice rinks and running tracks.

Maybe we’re just looking for the chance to show our patriotism without feeling self-conscious.

Whatever fuels your Olympic spirit, enjoy the ride.

The cynics will be back next time round.

COMMENTRe: Construction on middle school to start in spring (NewsLeader, Feb. 12)

Both names the school district is considering — West Side Middle School and Fraser River Middle School — are terrible and do not reflect the area the school is located.

The school has a view of Fraser River but is not beside it nor is it really in the West End of the city. The school is located in the Brow of the Hill and should reflect that area—perhaps Hillside or Hilltop would be better options.

Also I am horrified that they are starting construction before school is over. A construction site is no place for children to be around with dust and noise happening during school hours. If you have ever lived next to a construction site you would know that it is noisy, dangerous, with men smoking and swearing, and not conducive to a learning environment.

The children are losing their playground and will be left with one play structure for 500 children and a lower field that is mostly hills. Again, how is this helping and in the best interests of the school and not the builders? Apparently they will get a bonus by getting it done earlier than the original January 2016 deadline—whose interest is this meeting?

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they are trying to get these kids used to having limited play spaces. At the new elementary school there is no playground and they won’t be allowed to play on a grassy field either as it will take almost a year for the seeded field to be set enough to allow children on.

This seems like a rush job to try to please residents about getting schools built and cover up the other issues the board is dealing with. But my concern is if we are rushing the schools at this point, it will only create problems later when we have to fix poor workmanship, etc.

TAKE A STAND FOR DIGNITY

I recently say a news item on TV about humiliating homeless men in Vancouver where young men were promising homeless men money if they could kick them in the groin.

What has happened to our sense of decency and compassion for people who are struggling to survive on the bare essentials day in and day out?

I felt sick to watch one human being take advantage of another less fortunate person while a crowd of people stood around and watched with no regard to the person’s safety or dignity.

If we feel this is only one person that is humiliating the

homeless and low income we are sorely mistaken. There is an attitude by many that these folks have chosen to live this life of poverty and deserve the treatment they get. However, this is not the truth of the matter.

There are many reasons that have brought people to this situation. Could it happen to any of us? You bet.

What we have seen on TV does not only happen in Vancouver, it happens to different degrees throughout Metro Vancouver and beyond.

Let us speak up to ensure the safety of all people, especially the vulnerable, and not tolerate such a total disrespect for human life and dignity.

Metro mayors seeks answers on delayed TransLink tax referendumJeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver mayors will have plenty of questions about the province’s revised plan for a delayed referendum on new TransLink taxes when they meet Transportation Minister Todd Stone today (Friday).

Stone last week pledged governance changes to give the mayors’ council more power over TransLink planning and priorities and said the promised referendum can be delayed until mid-2015 as long as mayors agree by June 30 on the details of a vision for regional transit expansion.

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said Tuesday it’s too early to say if mayors can commit to meet Stone’s deadline to draw up a detailed, fully costed expansion plan with specific priorities and project phasing.

Doing so is difficult, he said, until mayors know how much money is available, and that hinges on what new funding sources the province would approve, subject to the

successful referendum.“There’s a lot of unanswered

questions,” said Walton, who was to meet Stone Wednesday in Victoria ahead of the Friday session.

Stone’s Feb. 6 letter to the mayors included a major carrot – an offer of one-third provincial funding restricted to “major new rapid transit” projects and replacement of the Pattullo Bridge.

Walton rejected suggestions mayors are unable to agree on expansion priorities, adding no such debate has taken place at mayors’ council because it’s preliminary until funding options are clarified.

“If you don’t have a commitment, there’s no point in worrying about whether Surrey or Vancouver go first,” Walton said of proposed new rapid transit lines.

“When I hear those comments I respond quite viscerally because it’s a misinterpretation. Whether it’s intentional or unintentional, it’s not true.”

Mayors have repeatedly proposed various new sources – a regional share of carbon tax, a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax, a vehicle levy and, eventually, road pricing.

The zone would also allow a maximum building height of 55 feet (16.5 metres) and would set the resident parking requirement at one parking space per unit which would be 91 spaces. The applicant would be required to enter into a Section 905 Housing Agreement and Section 219 covenant which would ensure that the units remain in rental tenure for a minimum of 40 years, deal with the ownership and management of the units and ensure that the units cannot be strata titled. The Public and Institutional (P-1) zone would permit a range of park and institutional uses on land that is to be transferred to the City as part of the adjacent riverfront greenway which is already zoned P-1.

Currently there is a covenant registered on the title all of the property in the Port Royal Development that limits the number of units on the site to 1171 units. If this development proposal is approved then the fi nal unit count in the Port Royal Development including the 91 Secured Market Rental units would be 1316 units. In conjunction with the consideration of this development application New Westminster City Council will consider a motion to discharge the covenant that limits the number of units in the Port Royal Development.



PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A application has been submitted to rezone the property addressed as 300 Salter Street (outlined in bold in map) in order to allow the construction of 174 strata titled apartment units in two buildings and 91 Secured Market Rental apartment units in a third building. Council will also consider discharging the covenant from the title of the properties in the Port Royal development that limits the total number of units allowed on the Port Royal site.

WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7651, 2014 ABOUT?Rezoning of the property from Cluster House Districts (RT-2F) and Public and Institutional Districts (P-1) to Comprehensive Development Districts (300 Salter Street) (CD – 53), Comprehensive Development Districts (350 Salter Street) (CD – 54), and Public and Institutional Districts (P-1) would allow the project to proceed. The Comprehensive Development Districts (300 Salter Street) (CD – 53) zone would allow 174 apartment units, a maximum site coverage of 40%, a maximum density of 55 units per acre (135.9 units per hectare) and a maximum fl oor space ratio of 1.50. The zone would allow a maximum building height of 55 feet (16.5 metres).

The Comprehensive Development Districts (350 Salter Street) (CD – 54) zone is designed for the Secured Market Rental housing part of the project. It would allow 91 units, a maximum density of 75 units per acre (185 units per hectare) and a maximum fl oor space ratio of 1.60.

MARJORIE, TOO AFRAID TO CRY: A HOME CHILD EXPERIENCETuesday, February 18, 20147:00 pmNew Westminster Public Library, 716 6th Avenue

Imagine being a child and traveling alone to live and work in a faraway country. Such was the fate of many children of the Home Child program of the British government. Thousands of poor and orphaned British children were sent to the colonies to provide cheap labour.

The experiences of one of these children have been documented in a recent book. In Marjorie, Too Afraid to Cry, Patricia Skidmore tells the heartrending story of her mother as a Home Child at the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School on Vancouver Island in the 1930s.

The recent cold snap may be over, but River Market will be celebrating winter over the weekend with its 2nd annual Great

Canadian Winter Festival.

On Saturday the food court will be alive with all kinds local edible goodies at the

Royal City Farmers Market, as well as local crafters displaying their wares at the Artisan’s Fair. Both run from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The chefs from Wild Rice, Tre Galli Gelato Caffe, Longtail Kitchen, Re-Up BBQ and special guest The Spud Shack will be

chopping potatoes and cheese curds in a battle royale for poutine supremacy on Sunday.

A $5 donation to KidSport New West buys a chance to taste all the competitors’ creations. The first

curds will be melted at 2 p.m.

You’ll be able to work up an appetite for your poutine treats by taking a workshop celebrating Canadian music and dance at the Music Box Music

and Theatre Academy, batting around a miniature puck in the KidSport table hockey tournament, or throwing a few “rocks” with the Royal City Curling Club.

In the past year, a significant proportion of Metro Vancouver residents (74%) drove across the border an average of five times shopping for gas, groceries, household goods and vacations tallying to over $2.6B per year. This lost revenue has been damaging to local retailers and a boom to businesses across the border in Washington State, and a source of controversy and discussion among the consumers, politicians and consumers and businesses in the region. Join Steve Mossop, the President of Insights West, at the RAC Canada event on February 19th, who will share his perspective on the latest statistics on cross border shopping based on a repeat of the poll they did last year on the same subject.

drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Roguish luxury at an economy priceMont Tremblant, Quebec – The 2014 Nissan Rogue is the newest entry to the fastest growing segment in Ca-nadian auto market – the compact SUV. The sales leaders are the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RV4 and many, many others. There is no mistaking why these products have become so popular. They offer room for a family of four, with a high seating position that drivers and passengers like, plus plenty of room for cargo and a price that’s not too outlandish. The fact that these station wagon-re-placements have become so popular is also the dramatic improvement in fuel economy these companies have been able to achieve. No longer does a family have to give up huge dollars on fuel to drive a small SUV. And what makes this new Nissan Rogue so interesting is the level of refinement and capability for up to seven passengers over three rows of seats.To test this new entry, Nissan held its launch event in and around Mont Tremblant, Que., getting a real taste of sub-zero, winter, Canadian driving.

Looks Last year, Nissan intro-duced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophis-tication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

signals, plus available power lift gate and an optional panoramic moon roof. The dimensions of this new Rogue are a bit of an optical allusion, as it looks much bigger than the outgoing model but, in fact, is 25mm shorter. Yes, the width and height have increased but this small SUV looks longer because the wheelbase has been stretched to make rom for an optional third row of seats.

InsideNissan has done a good job of delivering a pleasant looking dash with the fea-tures people really want. Just because this isn’t a mid-sized SUV, doesn’t mean

that Canadians don’t want the finer things. The middle SV trim will be the most popular due to 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated seats, power driver’s seat and a huge panoramic moon roof for $26,748 in FWD and $2,000 more in AWD. To get the three-row version the SV needs to be equipped with the $2,050 Family Tech Package which might be worth the stretch because it really does amp up the goodies. They include the third row of seats that makes this a 7-passenger SUV. Grant-ed, the third row is tight

but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen moni-tor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers.

DriveAs hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new con-tinuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control fea-ture. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence.

VerdictThe objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Safety Tip:Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign. According to one recent study, texting while

driving makes you 23 times more likely to be in a crash.

The six coolest car names everShakespeare famously asked, “What’s in a name?” Frankly, in the automotive world, a hell of a lot. It’s difficult to imagine a Corvette called anything else. Yet, it’s not on my list of cool names because prior to its application to America’s sports car, a corvette was a not-quite-a-destroyer type of small anti-submarine boat. The name only became cool after the Corvette became a success (which didn’t exactly happen overnight). These six car names are just cool.• Mercury Marauder: The name conjures up bands of roving barbarians. In addition to providing basic transpor-tation, who wouldn’t want a car that’s also proficient at looting and pillaging?

• Ferrari 500 Superfast: Even in the early 1960s, us-ing this name took cojones —something that Enzo Ferrari never lacked. It’s almost over-the-top comical, not unlike Wile E. Coyote’s business card, which listed his occupation as “Super Genius.” One can only imagine the response of today’s product liability lawyers to this one.

• Ford Mustang: While the association with the car doesn’t hurt, the name Mustang was cool long before the car debuted in April 1964. Whether it’s the war-winning fighter plane the P-51 Mustang or the wild horse (the car was actually named for the former), it’s just plain cool.

• Shelby Cobra: As venomous snakes go, Cobras are wicked cool. The whole hood thing, their exotic origins and their highly concentrated venom make your ordinary rat-tlers and water moccasins seem, well, ordinary. It makes for one of the all-time great hood badges, too.

• Plymouth Barracuda: As fish go, after the shark, the barracuda is arguably the most badass. Beautifully streamlined, highly aggressive and possessing a mouthful of piranha-like teeth, it’s possibly one of the most evocative names for a performance car ever. And while Mopar fans worship the way later cars were simply called the ’Cuda, we remain fans of the full name.

• Aston Martin Vanquish: Vanquish is generally defined as follows: To utterly defeat; soundly thrash or beat; to overpower, subjugate or subdue. Enough said.

Family time suffers as office invades personal livesJeff NagelBlack Press

More than half of B.C. residents admit their work-life balance is out of whack, according to a new poll by Insights West.

The online survey found 55 per cent of B.C. respondents said work definitely or probably takes precedence over their lifestyle, while just 31 per cent called their work-lifestyle balance “perfect.”

“The survey clearly shows that the era of the 9-to-5 job is unquestionably over,” Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said.

More than two thirds of those polled reported having to stay

late at work in the last six months and 42 per cent said they had to work from home at night.

Around 40 per cent also said they’ve had to miss another engagement due to work, work from home on a weekend, take a work-related call on the cellphone while with family or friends, or reply to an email.

Only 15 per cent of employed B.C. residents did not endure any of those problems in the last six months, the poll found.

“A very high proportion of employed British Columbians are having a tough time with their work-life balance because they are taking the office home and dealing with supervisors who have higher immediacy and reach expectations,”

Canseco said.He said 42 per cent

of B.C. employees say their work strains their relations with family and friends and 53 per cent say it’s harder to achieve work-life balance than it was for their parents.

Family time topped the list of things that are pushed aside for work, at 32 per cent, followed by health (25 per cent), leisure (19 per cent), pleasure (17 per cent) and spirituality (six per cent.)

The poll found younger Generation Y workers are most likely to report work taking precedence over lifestyle and staying late at work compared to their older counterparts.

Generation X workers weren’t staying late as much, Canseco noted, but were more likely to be on call from home on nights and weekends, and reporting worse relationship strain.

Baby Boomers were least likely to work longer or away from the office, but 49 per cent still reported work-life imbalance.

The online survey of 541 B.C. adult workers was conducted Feb. 3 to 5 and is considered accurate to 4.2 percent 19 times out of 20.

Work-life balance off kilter for most B.C. workers: Poll

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Bonds Group of Companies is bringing a touch of style to Vancouver with their new condominium development, Tate on Howe, that offers not only gorgeous one- and two-bedroom homes but also an amazing collection of amenities and an incredibly convenient location.

The 40-storey tower will maximize water and city views, with huge windows designed to let the light pour in.

“Tate on Howe has been designed to capitalize on the

breathtaking views the Vancouver skyline has to offer,” says Tracy McRae, vice-president of development for Bonds Group of Companies.

Inside, you’ll find high ceilings (8’6”, with 9’ on the 34th floor and above) and spacious floorplans designed for comfortable living. The kitchens are fit for a chef, with imported European cabinetry systems by Eggersmann, chic polished-edge quartz countertops and a dramatic iridescent mosaic tile backsplash.

The luxurious bathrooms hold their own Eggersmann European cabinetry, complemented by quartz countertops

and a deep full-size soaker tub. Select homes feature separate showers and his-and-hers sinks in the ensuite.

Homeowners will have access to the Tate Clubhouse, an amenities space that spans over 11,700 square feet and holds a fireside lounge and library with over-height ceilings, social room with a chef ’s kitchen and formal dining area, fitness facilities, a billiards room, 12-seat surround sound theatre and business facilities such as a meeting room and conference room. There will also a terrace garden on the fifth floor with a water feature and sheltered courtyards.

Residents will also be part of High Street of the Arts, a 10,000-square-foot art space dedicated to the CIty of Vancouver.

Tate on Howe is within walking distance to night life, shopping, dining, entertainment, and the beaches, marinas and seawall at Stanley Park. You’re also close to transit via the Canada Line.

Homes at Tate on Howe start at $268,000. For more information, check out www.tateonhowe.com, call 604-568-8283 or visit the presentation centre at 100-1265 Howe Street, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

“The excellent work from the winners – and indeed all the finalists – demonstrates that B.C. is truly the leader when it comes to innovative design and quality construction,” says CHBA BC President Rob Capar.

This year’s gala ceremony took place at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, emceed by broadcaster Wayne Cox.

Among this year’s big winners was Portrait Homes, who took home five awards.

“We have an incredibly talented team that design and build great homes in fantastic communities,” says Robert Grimm, principal at Portrait. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team for their continued dedication and commitment to being the best they can be!”

Portrait was honoured with the Customer Choice Georgie Awards, as well as the awards

for Single Family Production Home Builder of the Year and Residential Community of the Year and Best Landscape Design for Hampstead in Maple Ridge.

“Potential home owners can be confident in purchasing a Portrait home,” says Grimm. “We are dedicated to looking after our home owners the way they deserve to be looked after.”

Adera Development Corporation also went home a winner, with awards for Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development for Sail at the University of British Columbia and Multi-Family Home Builder of the Year.

Solterra Developments was also well-represented at the Georgies, with their awards for Best Project Identity, Best Multi-Family Kitchen – New and Best Interior Design Display Suite – Single-Family or Multi-Family, all for Keefer Block in Vancouver.
