A Labour Relations Board ruling could see New Westminster partner with neighbouring districts for summer school.

The LRB ruled Friday some summer school courses are an essential service while the teachers strike continues.

But it put some conditions that could cause a problem for New West.

Superintendent/CEO John Gaiptman said the LRB determined districts must first use administrators to teach the courses. Only if a district has proved it has used up all of its administrators can they call in teachers to run the classes.

In addition, the LRB ruled only students who failed the course during the regular school year can be considered essential service. But if the course can be included in the student’s timetable next year then it isn’t an essential service.

“We’ll have to see which students get caught up with this,” said Gaiptman on Monday.

Asks developer to plan for more job generating space on 38.5 acre siteGrant [email protected]

More jobs.That’s what city council has

told the developers of the massive Sapperton Green development they want to see in the project.

Last week, council approved Bentall Kennedy moving to public consultation for its plan for the 38.5 acre site next to the Braid SkyTrain

station. The one caveat before this can happen, however, is that council wants to hear back from city staff on shifting the mix of the development to have less residential and more “job generating” uses.

While he praised many aspects of the draft plan, Coun. Jonathan Coté said currently the project appears to have as much as seven times residential as employment-oriented space.

“That’s not quite what I

envisioned that ratio to be,” said Coté, although he admitted he couldn’t peg an ideal number. “It’s

not often in a city of our age that we have such a large parcel of land to do some interesting things. It’s next to SkyTrain, Highway 1 and the Central Valley Greenway. It’s important we get the site right.”

Coté said the property is the last big chunk of land that could potentially generate employment as well as contribute commercial

property taxes to city coffers.“Twenty-five years from now

we’re not going to be able to accommodate any new jobs because [the land has] been given away to residential developments,” Coté added.

Coun. Betty McIntosh disagreed. She said Bentall Kennedy has

already been working on the project for three years and knows what would be viable for the area. McIntosh is also skeptical of the site’s potential to generate jobs.

An economist at a recent conference pointed out the need for retail and commercial space is dwindling because shoppers can go online and office workers can do their jobs from home. She said building retail on the ground floor with housing above, or more office space, is becoming less practical.

“What do you expect [to be built] at the SkyTrain station. Office buildings? We’ve just had a history of [struggling] to sell an office building at a SkyTrain station.”

The plan notes the development would mean 7,500 new residents in the

next 20 years. They would occupy between 2.8 million and 3.4 million square feet of residential floor space in buildings ranging from three to 35 storeys.

It will feature four precincts. The Braid Street Precinct would be the gateway to the development and be mostly office and commercial with some residential. The Hume Park Precinct will be primarily residential while the Station Precinct next to SkyTrain will be almost all office and retail with some rental housing. The Neighbourhood Heart Precinct will overlap the other three, with gathering spaces, parks and plazas.

Original plans had one entrance to the development on Rousseau Street at Braid. But an alternate access point off the Brunette/Highway 1 overpass has been identified that the city, the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink would be willing to consider.

The draft plan will act as a basis for a potential amendment to the Official Community Plan. It will go out to several agencies and committees for review. It will also got to an open house and a presentation to the Sapperton-McBride Residents Association.

New West residents should be able to dig their toes into the sand at their very own beach by the end of July.

The city is about to embark on installing several features to the Timber Wharf, the unfinished east end portion of Westminster Pier Park. The uses are supposed to be temporary until the city can afford to bolster the structural supports to match that of Pier Park.

The first two phases this summer will cost almost $310,000. That includes $65,000 for an elevated urban beach, something that’s drawn a lot of interest both inside the city and beyond its borders.

Parks director Dean Gibson said he constantly has people asking about the urban beach, especially about when it will open.

“If we follow the timeline we should be under construction the second week of July, and operational by late in July,” Gibson told council June 23. “We should be able to salvage as much of the summer as we can.”

The sand will be piled about 12 to 18 inches above the wharf. The beach, though, will not go all the way to the edge of the wharf because there’s a four-foot fence to provide safety.

One of the beach’s accessories will cost another $45,000. An informal sand play area at the west end will have permanent “family-sized” hammocks. The beach will

also have permanent umbrellas.The wharf will also have timber seating

and shade trees at a cost of $105,000 to allow people to either watch the volleyball or look out over the Fraser River. A $62,000 sculptural water garden that will include play misters and a $20,000 off-leash dog park are also scheduled to be built this summer.

Gibson said the budget allows for a $15,000 space for activities such as fitness classes. It will have a two-tone surface painted to resemble waves, said Gibson.

A walking path that will cost less than $8,000 will wind its way through the wharf, and it will do double duty.

“We need to maintain about a four-metre wide access route through the site simply so we can move service vehicles through there,” said Gibson.

The wharf already has two beach volleyball courts. “I was there this past weekend and both courts were going full steam which was very encouraging to see,” said Gibson.

He noted the city still needs to find almost $48,000 to do the work but the city wants to start

the tenders and improvements as soon as possible.

It’s hoped the work in the first two phases will be completed sometime in September. Some of the $195,000 in future work being contemplated includes $20,000 for a games room area and $156,000 for a sports zone.

To begin with only about 30 per cent of summer school students take a course because they failed during the regular year, said Gaiptman. The LRB ruling will reduce that even further. So New Westminster could end up participating in a regional summer school.

“I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect that [ruling],” said Gaiptman. “It was a surprise to read the essential services order.”

Prior to the ruling, the district postponed starting summer school until July 7. The hope was everything would be sorted out, not just by the LRB ruling but by a settlement.

“That clearly is not happening now,” said Gaiptman. “At some point we have to get going on September.”

Gaiptman said public education can’t afford to have the dispute linger until September because parents might look elsewhere soon.

“I would hope that the pressure point is in needing [a settlement] and that we find a solution long before parents start looking for alternate placements for their sons and daughters,” he said. “We would like to see them stick

with public education and not consider independent schools.”

Last week also brought about a local twist to the strike soap opera. A rift may have developed between the New Westminster Teachers Union (NWTU) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) local that represents the district’s support service workers.

The NWTU decided not to picket the school district offices Thursday and Friday last week. That allowed two CUPE members to come into the office to work on staffing for the next school year. The work allowed for summer advance payments to begin. It also helped to determine which teachers would be working in the district and which ones wouldn’t.

NWTU president Grant Osborne said since those two days they were supposed to be locked out by the province they were willing to take the picket line down. Gaiptman said the two employees were the most knowledgable to do the work.

Osborne claimed it allowed their members to know if they need to start looking for new jobs. “Our sole intention was that people could receive pay and employment.”

Osborne added although CUPE has been “fantastic in their support” of teachers the union objected to lifting the picket line.

“It’s not a real good move of solidarity so we felt a little offended,” said CUPE local president Marcel Marsolais, who maintained the work could have been done by senior administration.

He added the move won’t divide the unions’ membership but it will divide their leadership.

Despite the strike, New Westminster secondary managed to hold its graduation ceremony at Queen’s Park Arena last Thursday.

“To the casual observer that didn’t know any better it was just as beautiful a ceremony as we’ve ever had,” said Janet Grant, a district director of instruction.

While senior staff had to do the set up and ceremony, many of the teachers showed up to see their students graduate.

“They care about their kids. It’s a celebration for both of them, particularly where there were connections. ‘I got this kid through school even though people didn’t think they would do it,’ ” said another director of instruction Sandra Pace.

VICTORIA – The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983.

McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.

Here’s McLachlin’s definition:“The nature of aboriginal title

is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities.

Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead?

None of the aboriginal

communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision

Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone.

There are, of course, those who have been diagnosed. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers.

Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society bears the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc.

It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives.

Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different.

For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality.

While there have been great strides in the realm of mental illness, society still has a hard time accepting it as a disease.

‘Mental illness’ is still a phrase that doesn’t dare get said in polite company.

But slowly that shroud is lifting.Some people are becoming

more brave to step into the spotlight, to talk about their own struggles.

Clara Hughes, for instance. The former Canadian Olympic cyclist and speedskater shared the story of her own family’s battles with mental illness as she cycled 12,000 kms across Canada. Clara’s “Big Ride” concluded on July 1 in Ottawa and connected with more than 23,000 young people in 105 communities.

People like Hughes, and those enduring their challenges less publicly, know the difference that acceptance—both of the conditions and the person trying to live with them—makes, and we can all learn from them.

But there is still a long way to go.

No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control.

The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do just that.

COMMENTRe: Report cards next casualty of school strike

All about the kids ... what a joke.

I would bet that if the government said that they would give the teachers JUST the money and nothing else they would jump at it. As for the few good and dedicated teachers out there that go above and beyond, my hat is off to you.

Kevin Trill

• • • • •

I can honestly say, Kevin, that I think you are incorrect on this one. There may be teachers out there that think that way, but I have not met one. This battle runs very deep. I make a decent living and am at the top of the pay grid.

With a B. Ed and over 20 years of experience, I earn just over 75k. Check out the wages of the government employees. Not sure if you are a parent but there are Facebook pages out there by and for parents.

I would encourage you to dig a little deeper. I know this teacher strike stuff seems to never end.

I know people are sick of it.

Trust me, we are too. The current situation needs to be resolved now and, in my opinion, the future of education and bargaining needs to be handled in a different way, perhaps with some type of neutral mediating board.

This cycle needs to end.

Yes, teachers don’t get paid well. Sadly this is a well known fact going into post secondary education. If money was a concern, why would you go into the teaching profession?

Kathi Bridge

• • • • •

No, you dont get paid well. Only 80 thousand a year. This is about $20-30 an hour. How unjust, you poor things.

Geoffrey Halliday

• • • • •

You are misinformed. Look at the starting wage and also factor in that many teachers start as TTOC or take positions in remote locations.

80+ is for teachers with M. Ed.

What about bonuses such as a pension once you retire?

FEW REASONS TO WALK DOWN COLUMBIA STREET

Re: New West floats concept of free shuttle between Uptown, Downtown

New Westminster is like having two cities within one municipality.

I live by the river and

everything I need is within walking distance and there really is no reason for me to climb that mountain unless I get a hankering for some pancakes or fast food.

This is what’s lacking on Columbia Street—we have many bridal shops and people come far and wide to find the right wedding gown.

But there are few other reasons to walk down Columbia Street.

There’s no McDonald’s, Denny’s, or anything else that would attract crowds of people. Say what you will about McDonald’s, but without them Uptown New Westminster would become a dead zone.

Trying to generate ways to reduce car trips in communityGrant [email protected]

A pilot program in Sapperton to encourage residents to get around without using a vehicle has been extended a month to generate more interest.

The Sapperton TravelSmart program was developed by TransLink with support from the city and some area businesses.

The program challenges residents to pledge to take one less car trip per week, and let organizers know how they did it.

It was set up for the month of June but that’s been extended another month to get the word out.

“We haven’t had as much

participation as we would have liked,” said JoAnn Woodhall, transportation demand officer for TransLink. “We’re just trying to help people who want to drive less … They have these thoughts but they don’t act on them.”

Sapperton seemed like an easy choice for the pilot project. It’s where TransLink’s head office is, with easy access to alternate ways to get around.

“We were looking for a part of New Westminster as part of the launch in an area that does have viable options. With the two SkyTrain stations in there, and with the Central Valley Greenway taking them into Burnaby [it seemed like a fit],” said Woodhall.

“It’s very walkable, even with the hills, and there’s services nearby. It’s just a matter of reaching the folks that are a

point in their lifestyle that are trying to drive less.”

Sapperton TravelSmart has set up a carpool ride matching service. It also will provide maps and trip planning tools to encourage walking or simply taking a bicycle to the grocery store.

Woodhall hopes to get participants to log their trips this month so they can get a sense of what the needs are.

“It’s really just the tracker part of it, the logging of their trips that we identified for the month [as needing to find],” said Woodhall.

“We plan to engage them over the next couple of months because we know behaviour doesn’t change overnight.”

TransLink seeks to help Sapperton TravelSmart

A New Westminster resident has been fined $3,000 for failing to file income tax returns.

Andre Geoffroy Halle pled

guilty to failing to file his 2009, 2010 and 2011 returns. Since the plea the returns have been filed. A New Westminster provincial

court judge gave him two years to pay the fine, which is on top of the taxes he owed.

The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies need one point from their last two games to clinch first place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

But that’s not a slam dunk considering their opponents will be the second- and third-place teams.

The ’Bellies extended their win streak to 13 games by beating the Burnaby Lakers 12-5 at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday.

That improved New West’s record to 18-1-0. Their 36 points, however, are just one

more than the Coquitlam Adanacs (17-2-1). The two teams will meet in Coquitlam

on Wednesday (July 2). New Westminster won both previous meetings between the two. It will

be the A’s final game but the Salmonbellies will finish

out their season by taking on the Victoria Shamrocks (11-7-1) at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday, July 6 (5 p.m.).

At Copeland, Nathan Stewart was New West’s top goal scorer with three while Johnny Pearson was their top point producer with two goals and

three assists. Josh Byrne had a pair of each. Anthony Malcom also had four points with a goal and three assists while Connor Robinson and Brett Dobray both contributed a goal and two assists. Other New West goals were scored by Steven Ferdinandi and Luke Gillespie.

Robinson remains poised to win the league scoring title (40-59-99). He has an 18-point lead over the next closest competition. Pearson is fourth with 79 points while Byrne is tied for fifth with 71, although he’s collected his points in just 11 games.

Jr. ’Bellies look to secure top spot in BCJALL

The New Westminster Salmonbellies ended a six-game losing streak by upsetting the hometown Burnaby Lakers 10-8 Friday.

The win improved the ’Bellies’ Western Lacrosse Association record to 3-7-1. Despite the win they are six points out of a playoff berth.

Jordan McBride had three goals and an assist for New West.

Curtis Hodgson and Richard Lachlan both

scored twice with singles going to Keegan Bal, Sean Robinson and Luke Gillespie.

The Salmonbellies will play host to the Coquitlam Adanacs (4-5-0) at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday, 7:45 p.m.

It will be the ’Bellies annual Seats for Soldiers night.

New West and Burnaby will face off against each other again at Copeland on Friday, 7:45 p.m.

Sr. Salmonbellies end losing streak

What does it mean?

In recent weeks the number 25 has been appearing on our streets and doorsteps

more frequently than nature allows.

Why? We aim to find out and inform the public.

Some may say we are grasping at straws, but we welcome skeptics.

Soon we will have the proof we need.
