IGA shuts at the squareGrant [email protected]

The New Westminster IGA Marketplace at Columbia Square closed its doors for the last time and covered up its windows with paper last week.

But the “For Lease” sign should be coming down soon, according to property manager Roy Hamilton, although he can’t confirm what retailer will replace the supermarket.

“We’ve got a lot of interest, but we are working with a group of people who we are trying to lock down,” said Hamilton. “We’re confident the IGA space won’t be vacant for very long.”

In January, H.Y. Louie Company, the store’s operators, gave its six months’ notice to the owners. At that time, H.Y. Louie vice-president Scott Coburn said the location had become no longer financially viable. He said the costs of labour, operating and rental exceeded the revenue being generated over the previous year. That time frame happened to coincide with the opening nearby of a Safeway at the Shops at New Westminster Station.

Trucks in particular take a toll on the bridge deckMario [email protected]

A little inconvenience for weekend drivers will mean a little more life for the aging Pattullo Bridge.

The bridge was closed to all traffic, including cyclists and pedestrians from Friday at 9 p.m. to early Monday morning, so work crews could make repairs to the road surface. Similar closures will

occur Aug. 9-12 and Aug. 23-26.Bob Moore, the bridge operations

manager for TransLink, said the repairs are the kind of routine maintenance that might cause lane closures on other bridges, but the narrowness of the 76-year-old Pattullo necessitate closure.

“We can’t do any of the repairs with traffic on the bridge,” said Moore during a tour of the site on Saturday. “It’s not safe.”

The repair work consists mostly of replacing sections of the deck where the asphalt road surface has

separated from the concrete beneath it. The resulting potholes and cracks not only make for an uncomfortable drive, they can also lead to structural problems that could compromise the bridge if they’re not fixed,

said Moore.With barriers and flaggers

diverting traffic away from the

bridge, the four crews working 10-hour shifts around the clock identified problem areas by dragging a heavy chain along the roadway, listening for the higher-pitched sound that indicates delamination of the surface. Those areas were then jack-hammered, repaired with new concrete and resurfaced.

The northbound slow lane on the viaduct leading to the bridge on the Surrey side was particularly bad, said Moore.

Fix to help Pattullo survive a little longer

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERConstruction crews jackhammer up the road surface in the slow lane at the south end of the Pattullo Bridge on Saturday. The bridge was closed to all traffic over the weekend, and will be for two more weekends in August, so crews can safely make repairs that are part of the aging structure’s ongoing maintenance.

Last Door kicks off anniversary celebrations with Family Fun Day at Queen’s ParkGrant [email protected]

Men in a convivial mood move in and out of an old house on Eighth

Street and a nondescript low-rise apartment block next door.

Some are doing odd jobs, others are running off to errands or going to meetings. Their activities are woven into the landscape. Few people driving or walking by realize the men, in addition to the good deeds and normal activity, are also in the process of exorcising the addiction demons within them.

They are part of New Westminster’s Last Door Recovery Society which will kick off its 30th anniversary celebrations with a big Family Fun Day party in Queen’s Park on Sunday.

• • • • •

Dave Pavlus was a heavy equipment operator in the 1970s. He worked in camps up north, including building ice roads on the Mackenzie River. But his addictions got the best of him, and he moved down to the Lower Mainland, buying a little farm in Queensborough.

To help him get better he volunteered with Vancouver’s Western Steps to Recovery Society. One of its founders, Jim Ross, thought it would be a good idea to set up something similar in New West, where recovering addicts could share accommodation and work on their challenges together, but they had to figure out where.

“Recovery’s not popular. People think about addiction and not recovery,” says Pavlus. “Nobody wanted it in their neighbourhood. Some of it’s for

good reason.”They bought a rundown

old mansion at 433 Carnarvon St. next to a church and a body shop, and set up a 25-bed facility.

“Nobody noticed we were there,” says Pavlus. “We were not at odds with our neighbours and that got us an opportunity to merge into the community. We developed respect on abstinence and common sense.”

• • • • •

Last Door would have its residents do volunteer work in the community. They would do the little things—fixing a fence, mowing the grass or picking up dog poop. It all went a long way toward building credibility.

“We went 15 years without a single incident before we started to grow.”

As its work grew, Last Door began renting homes throughout New Westminster, including the one on Eighth Street. Pavlus got to know the landlord of the three-storey lowrise next door who was living a nightmare

dealing with issues such as drugs, prostitutes and fights forcing him to find three to four new tenants a month.

“It was crazy turnover,” said Pavlus. “There were lots of problems.”

Pavlus suggested Last Door could rent some of the suites and could take care of the building. By the time they got up to 10 suites, Pavlus asked the building’s owner if he could buy it and a deal was made.

Since it had built a reputation in New West, Last Door was able to move in without much difficulty, says Pavlus.

“You do a lot of volunteer work in the community, help out the neighbours, it starts to change people’s impressions.”

Now the two buildings house between 45 and 50 men with offices for its 27 employees.

• • • • •

More than half of Last Door’s residents are regular, working guys, says Pavlus. “A lot of them had values and they return to those values.”

Last Door, he says, leans toward a family environment. Some even live with their families in the building. A few arrive because it’s been court ordered, or via a family intervention, but it’s not, insists Pavlus, a get-out-of-jail-free card.

The program preaches accountability. The residents have to be on their best behaviour and can’t go anywhere by themselves until a pattern of stability emerges.

“It’s just getting past their own contempt,” says Pavlus. “Half the time they don’t want to go anywhere on their own (once they’re allowed) … My favourite stories are the ones with the guys who get their wife and kids back.”

Pavlus and fellow counsellor Daniel Marks work with a maximum of 24 men each. Marks was 19 when he entered Last

Door to recover 11 years ago.After dropping out of high

school in Grade 9, Marks was willing to do anything that made him high, until a probation officer sent him to Last Door. Within two weeks, he recalls, he had a different attitude and he and his family were already starting to heal. Within six months he was back at New Westminster secondary, grateful they had allowed him to return.

• • • • •

After volunteering, Marks was eventually put on the night staff, then the day staff, and then in charge of group therapy. Before he knew it Pavlus was offering him the opportunity to work alongside him. (Almost all of the employees, including the chef, have been trained as counsellors.)

Marks had envisioned becoming a heavy duty mechanic because he loved pulling things apart and building them back up again. Instead, he’s doing that with young men.

“I enjoy working with people,” says Marks. “I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”

People come from all corners of Canada and the globe to find out the secret to Last Door’s success. A portion of the credit, says Pavlus, has to go to New Westminster. “Part of why Last Door works is this community. The model has to fit the community. It will work anywhere, but you have to adapt to the environment.”

Although Last Door has grown considerably since the early days on Carnarvon, Pavlus doesn’t see it expanding any more because it’s working so well as is.

“We’re not trying to get any bigger. We laugh ourselves stupid every day. It’s positive. We’re not the morbid psych ward where people are crying.”

That’s likely from the volume of heavy vehicles that use the bridge he said.

The repairs are estimated to cost $250,000 and will keep the Pattullo in working condition for another two or three years. But with the process to determine the future of the

Pattullo still ongoing, that’s money well spent, said Derek Zabel of Translink.

“This is part of the regular work that needs to be done,” said Zabel. “We’re still a considerable time away from a new bridge or rehabilitating this one.”

Meanwhile, crews are also working beneath the bridge,

patching sections of the viaduct where concrete has broken away from rebar in one and two-foot chunks due to moisture and corrosion.

That work is ongoing and isn’t affected by traffic passing overhead, but it must be completed to make it safe for the completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road.

In the last few years, Columbia Square has also seen the departure of two other large tenants—Rogers Video and an independent dollar store.

Hamilton said a yoga and fitness studio will be taking over half of the space previously occupied by Rogers.

It is not, however, former Columbia Square tenant Dynamic Fitness, which has to be out of its current location in

the Royal City Centre by Dec. 31.

Hamilton added that a medical clinic will be opening next to Pharmasave in the next few weeks.

“I’m sure there’s been some effect (from the Shops at New Westminster opening), but I don’t think it’s been a massive effect. The fact we have a lot of parking and we’ve got a good mix, the banks, Starbucks, the B.C. liquor store and a number

of quality restaurants I think we’re doing quite well,” said Hamilton.

He says there is lots of interest for space throughout the mall, but the prospective tenants are not always the right fit.

“A lot of the issues are tenants would conflict with other tenants already in the mall or just not the right mix that we’re looking for,” said Hamilton.

New fitness/yoga studio coming

TransLink is currently looking at options for replacement or rehabilitation of the Pattullo Bridge.

Royal City resident first from New West in Fraser River sustainable leadership programGrant [email protected]

Like any Royal City resident Colin O’Neil has a passing relationship with the Fraser River. Next month he’ll know it intimately.

O’Neil will be the first person from New West to participate in the Rivershed Society of B.C.’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program in which environmentally conscious young adults travel the 1,375-km Fraser River from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the mouth Aug. 1-25.

O’Neil, 23, recently graduated from Simon Fraser University specializing in British Columbia and West Coast history and social geography. So the fit was a natural.

“The chance to raft down

the river was probably the first selling point. Just to go down the river was something I always thought was fascinating,” said O’Neil, who went to Lord Tweedsmuir elementary and New Westminster secondary. “I find it intriguing that we live by a river but so many people have not been on the river. The fact it’s such a large body of water we experience every day but not to the point where you actually

feel you know it.”During the trip, participants

not only get to exercise their arms by paddling a canoe, they get to learn from First Nation and non-native community leaders about different aspects of the Fraser River and its watershed, whether it be environmental, industrial, recreational, agricultural or social.

Following the Fraser, from start to finish

Colin O’Neil, who recently graduated with a history and geography degree from SFU, will be participating in the Rivershed Society of B.C.’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program in August where young adults travel the Fraser River from the headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the mouth just as explorer Simon Fraser did.

After climate scientist-turned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion:TF: You did a study comparing

burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil.

Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this?AW: There is no question that

the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says

no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure.

It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc.TF: Liquefied natural gas. The

NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now.AW: I have questioned the

economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small

window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.TF: Thirty years ago, Japan

played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here?AW: Yes. And if we start

shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.TF: How has the legislature

session been for you?AW: I sit there and watch

the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change.TF: The NDP opposition

decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period?AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s

been no problem.

TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland.AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly

not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from.TF: Are you going to be found

standing in front of a coal train any time soon?AW: No, never. They asked me

to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

Green MLA on coal and controversy

You can fight big brother, and win, it turns out.

That sound you heard Thursday was the shouts of joy from some 60,000 BC Hydro customers who emerged victorious after fighting against the installation of smart meters in their homes, crying foul about potential health hazards and privacy invasion.

On Thursday, the provincial government announced those hold-out customers can elect to keep their analog meters until they break down—or their accuracy seal expires—or they can receive a digital meter with its transmission function turned off.

But retaining the analog meter or getting a declawed smart meter will come with a price, roughly $20 per month to read the meter, as well as $100 to have a deactivated smart meter installed.

Smart meter opponents have long questioned the potential adverse health effects of the new meters, attributing to them a shopping list of ailments from headaches to hearing problems, chest pains, burning skin, sleep disturbances, high or low blood pressure, autism and even sterility.Some claim the meters are an invasion of privacy as it also gathers data about power use during various parts of the day.

Others objected to having the smart meter shoved down their throats.

Now the question is whether the 1.8 million customers who did have smart meters installed, regret not having fought harder against the tech change.

This one shapes up to be another case similar to the introduction of the HST.

For many people, it’s not about the smart meters or the tech they employ, but the manner in which it was introduced.

And certainly, the province probably realized this was going to be a case of where it could not win the public relations battle.

NEW WESTMINSTER


COMMENTMaking financing for Canada

Games Pool, Massey Theatre, affordable housing dependent on revenue from digital signs (“Sign money pegged for pool…” in NewsLeader July 12, front page)—and delaying these projects until such funds accumulate—is not the right policy for city residents.

As Coun. Jonathan Coté correctly pointed out, council is aware of the importance of these facilities to the city, their high attendance, benefits to residents. The pool, for example, besides being extremely popular, is the only recreational facility that makes the city a profit, I heard. A recent city survey placed them on high priority for the community.

They are also aging, are already overdue for major renovations—maybe even replacement, and financing for this work shall be considered accordingly, as city priority.

Despite council’s hopes, reliance on ‘guaranteed’ sign money—just as past reliance on revenue from the long-departed casino boat —will not provide these ‘must-have’ facilities with “stable financing” because guarantees usually come with ‘fine print.’ What if most drivers choose to keep eyes on the road rather than watch signs? What if courts or government outlaw such signs after—and preferably before—a big accident? What if sign revenue drops? Will the sign company cover the shortfall? And what if the sign company goes out of business; it may happen, you know?

If the sign money is indeed guaranteed as solidly as city staff claims, let them ask the sign company to ‘discount’ this guarantee.

Instead of separate payments every year over next 23 years, the city could get a ‘lump sum’ today. This sum will be somewhat less than the promised $25 million (to account for interest expense to the sign company) but for New Westminster it will be ‘money in the bank’ we can use tomorrow.

Personally, I doubt this will happen.

On other hand, I believe, the Columbia Street festive lights—and similar ‘nice-to-have’ projects, like an extra entrance to Pier Park, or pedestrian bridge across the Fraser River, or greenway on Seventh Avenue, or Front Street parkade revitalization—are more suitable for financing from digital sign money.

And, of course, no debate about New Westminster’s financial situation may overlook the looming mountain of debt coming from the office tower. Last time I checked two weeks ago, this ‘air parcel’ on top of Anvil Centre was still on the market. As Coun. McIntosh mentioned, the recent survey revealed debt management is the second highest preference for city residents as far as spending their tax dollars is concerned, and the council’s decision should better reflect this preference.

CritiCism smells of sour grapesRe: ‘Optics ugly’ – published July 9, 2013

I read with some interest the article of July 9 regarding former trustee Goring’s comments criticizing the senior administration’s decision to pay a portion of the CUPE

president’s salary instead of reimbursing the local for each instance that the president is required to attend a meeting on behalf of the local.

What I find particularly amusing about this article is Mr. Goring is choosing to also be critical of the current board for a situation that was in place when he was still a sitting trustee on the board. At that time Mr. Goring would have had the ability to move a motion to look at other options. Mr. Goring did NOT choose to do that.

I understand that accountability for the elected officials is important. I would encourage community members to inform themselves not only by this medium (the local paper) but by going to meetings, or reading the minutes that are available on the website http://district.sd40.bc.ca/board-education/board-meetings. You can find out a lot about a person and what they stand for by checking out their voting record and what motions they bring to the table for discussion.

Having served nine years on board myself, I know the time, effort and sacrifices that individual trustees make on a daily basis to serve the city and I thank them for that. I do believe that Mr. Goring brought some thoughtful discussion to the board when he was on it too, but for him to be critical of a situation that he knew of and chose to do nothing about smells of sour grapes to me.

Part of the trip includes producing a project related to sustainability. O’Neil plans to look at growing local food in schools and the community.

“To bring what I see and what I learn to where I live in New West or Vancouver is something I look forward to. You initiate real actual plans and goals,” he said.

The program was started by Fin Donnelly, who has swum the length of the Fraser twice to raise awareness about the health

of riversheds in B.C. His day job these days is as MP for New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody.

“To have somebody from the Royal City is a treat. I’ve been working on this for 10 years now in terms of the program and 16 years from the organization and haven’t had someone from New Westminster before,” said Donnelly, who will accompany the participants. “He sounds very eager and motivated.”

Donnelly said it will be

good for O’Neil to be able to work with the City of New Westminster and other organizations like the Royal City Farmers Market in implementing his project.

“That’s a critical part of implementing the program, working with partners,” said Donnelly.

The program’s participants will stop for lunch at the Fraser River Discovery Centre at the Westminster Quay on Thursday, Aug. 22, before proceeding to the mouth of the river.

The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is joining its British Columbia counterparts in concern about new provincial packaging recycling regulations due to take effect in early 2014.

The regulations, said a message to its members sent by executive director Cori Lyn Germiquet, will require businesses to pay recycling costs for any packaging or flyers used to sell their goods.

The message said many B.C. businesses are just beginning

to learn about the regulations even though the decision to implement them was made in 2011.

The B.C. Chamber is working with Multi Material BC (MMBC), the industry-led agency developed to bring the regulation plan into effect, to make sure all businesses have the information needed to comply and to finalize some key details so potential impacts on small business can be mitigated.

The chamber said however well-intentioned the regulations

are they can’t hurt small business’s ability to grow and prosper.

Along with other chambers, the New West chamber will participate in a joint meeting with MMBC.

“As a province, B.C. is committed to cutting red tape and supporting job-creating businesses. While we are very supportive of recycling, we need to ensure that this program doesn’t undermine those goals,” wrote Germiquet.

In 1932 Cap started his business in the family barn in Burquitlam... for many years he serviced all the bicycling needs of not just the Tri-Cities but the entire Lower Mainland. As his 4 boys and 2 nephews grew up, they too joined the business. Like most siblings no one wanted to take “orders” from their brother so Cap, always the creative one, opened up a store for each of them to manage. As time passed the four boys and two nephews bought out the business and expanded co-operatively throughout the Lower Mainland, into the Interior and on the Island. Eventually they all started looking for a simpler way of doing things... and brought those locations back to a manageable 5. Everyone’s families were growing up and it became clear that each of the owners had di� erent visions for the company so “Cap’s” became separately owned and operated. Each Cap’s location is family owned and operated, just separate from each other. Confusing? Lets try to simplify it... Glen, Cap’s son, has worked in the family business his whole life, close to 50 years. Kelly, Glen’s wife, � rst met Glen in 1976 when she was hired by Cap to work in the bicycle store and help Glen in his new location at Como Lake Village in Coquitlam. She was a 15 year old who knew nothing about bicycles. Glen, frustrated that his dad would hire some young girl who didn’t know a thing about bicycles as his employee tossed her a rag and suggested she should dust bikes. A� er about 15 minutes he looked over, shook his head and said “what in the world are you doing”, Kelly’s reply was, “you said to dust bikes, so I’m dusting”... she was dusting the spokes... Glen knew immediately she was a keeper!A 15 year old Kelly became a cracker jack sales person. Her passion carried into bicycles but a� er she started dating Glen she thought she should � nd a career outside of the business and became a Registered Nurse. For close to 25 years Kelly worked as a RN while the two of them raised their 3 kids. When the business became separately owned and operated Glen suggested that Kelly come work with him and together they could have fun working in the bicycle business. With the kids grown up (or almost so) Kelly decided this would be a fun adventure.A cluttered greasy bike store was not going to do though. Kelly introduced clothing into the store and each of their locations has a clothing “store” within the bike store. Kelly wanted something unique in the clothing section so now designs several custom jerseys a year... check out the new BC jersey. Kelly also wanted to start some cycling groups. Big deal, you think, every store has cycling groups. Well, a� er years of looking a� er people who didn’t look a� er themselves and seeing the related diseases... compared to people who were active and eating right and how fast their recoveries were, she wanted to get people out cycling that were not athletes. She started her � rst “comfort” group in

2001. � ese were “middle aged” women that just were going out for a “comfort” bike ride. 10km, then stop for co� ee. Well that grew from a “group” of 2 ladies to over 45. Most of those ladies still ride, but now they are on road bikes, doing the Wheel to Heal or Grand Fondo.Glen and Kelly initially just wanted a “ma & pa” bicycle shop... but it didn’t take long before they decided to expand their passion. Port Moody, Maple Ridge and now Burnaby. Quite simply they love working together. Although they have 4 stores and personally work at each of them... they are always together. AND, on vacation... what do they do? Well bicycle of course. � ey have cycled through Vermont, done the California Coast several times, Napa Valley (3

times, they do like their wine), Bordeaux, Tuscany and are going to the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France. � ey will ride parts of di� erent stages and be seated on the Champs Elysees for the � nish. � ey choose “Trek Travel” as their travel company.

All their kids help out with the family business either directly or indirectly.

Geo� rey (their son) and his wife Stephanie are both anthropologists and both halfway through their PhDs, Geo� rey wrote his masters thesis on Bicycle Advocacy. Ellecia shares her parents passion for cycling and the business and is currently one of the managers. On her days o� she is either grabbing her full faced helmet and mountain bike riding or jumping on her road bike for a fast ride with her � ancé Jon. Chelsea is on the Kid Carson show and is always talking about her family and their business, she does the radio and TV ad voice overs... and can be seen riding her pretty pink � xie through Vancouver.

Of course a 4 store business with exceptional customer service doesn’t run itself. As history proves itself, Glen has alway had an uncanny knack of attracting exceptional people. Rhys, the General Manager oversees the day to day operation of all the business. Evan is the store manager in Port Coqutilam, Eric oversees the very busy service area , Danie manages the Port Moody Store, Rodney manages the Maple Ridge Store, the new Burnaby Store will be managed by Shane with the help of Blair, and Ellecia ‘roams’ between all the stores so managers can have a day o� .

Former board chairs McCallum, Puil entitled to free ridesJeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink should have scrapped its historic practice of occasionally giving lifetime transit passes to select recipients instead of formalizing it in a new policy, says the chair of Metro Vancouver’s mayors council.

North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said the optics of some people getting lifetime passes is unfortunate as TransLink has recently undergone audits to cut costs and is now seeking controversial new revenue sources.

“I don’t think it’s particularly wise,” Walton said. “Given where we are right now with intense scrutiny on TransLink’s accountability and cost control, I think the messaging is terrible.”

He said he had no idea the passes existed until this week.

“I don’t think it’s good policy going forward,” he said. “People are looking through a fairness lens at TransLink that is very, very intense.”

The policy passed in February now requires a resolution of TransLink’s appointed board to create new lifetime passes, which are a special thank-you reserved for distinguished service.

TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said 80 lifetime transit passes exist and most were handed out in the 1980s and 1990s prior to TransLink’s formation in 1999.

Only eight were given out since 1999 and none of the golden tickets have been created

in the past year or two.“It’s very rare that we do

provide these but it’s there if we want to thank someone for their contribution,” Ling said.

TransLink’s new policy says recipients can include board directors, mayors,and directors who serve on the Transit Police board or on other TransLink subsidiary boards.

In theory they can be used for unlimited travel anywhere on TransLink’s system.

But Ling suggested many holders – including a Vancouver Island man who was the last recipient – keep their passes framed in their offices as they would other honours, not in their wallet to get free trips.

There is no formal criteria to decide who’s worthy.

“If they made a significant change to the organization, if they had some marvellous idea that changed the system drastically and improved our organization and made it better – that would be considered a major contribution where we want to thank them and reward them,” she said.

Ling said four of the passes issued since TransLink was created went to past board chairs – two professional appointees who have served since 2009 and two elected officials who served previously.

One of them is George Puil, a former TransLink board chair and Vancouver city councillor.

And former Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum – who served as TransLink board chair from 2002-2005 – confirmed he also has one that he uses to get to meetings in Vancouver.

“I think the program is worthwhile, I do use it a lot,” the South Surrey resident

said. “Whenever I do go to Vancouver I do use it. I try not to use my car and to use public transportation.”

McCallum says his lifetime pass is similar to his driver’s licence, bearing his picture, but with no expiry date.

“I think the policy of the board long before I was on the board was that past chairmen would get passes,” he said.

Asked about criticism the passes are an excessive perk, he said: “I think if people feel that they don’t need to give it to me.”

Walton said he understands the desire to honour certain individuals. He said provincial law has for decades allowed municipalities to give a “Freedom of the City” award that lets the recipient vote in perpetuity in municipal elections even if they no longer live in that city. But Walton noted there’s no financial benefit of that award, unlike TransLink lifetime passes, which saves the bearer $2,040 a year (the annual cost of a three-zone monthly pass.)

He suggested TransLink instead create a different non-financial honour – perhaps by naming SkyTrain cars after those deemed worthy.

Other TransLink freebies now gone

TransLink has been eliminating a number of other free passes under legacy programs. Police officers, firefighters and some other government workers are no longer eligible for free employer passes as of July 1. TransLink says the old passes have been eliminated to cut costs and simplify the pass structure as it prepares to roll out new Compass smart cards.

TransLink says 80 lifetime transit passes exist and most were handed out in the 1980s and 1990s prior to TransLink’s formation in 1999.

Province, mayors to decide transit funding question for votersJeff NagelBlack Press

A referendum on new taxes or tolls for TransLink that will decide the future pace of transit expansion may come sooner than a promised date of November 2014 to separate the contentious debate from the next municipal elections.

The province now says that’s the latest the vote can be held – not necessarily the date – but there are serious doubts over whether a referendum as early as next spring is feasible.

Richard Walton, chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, said it would take a speedy resolution of numerous issues in the next few months, including a promised overhaul of TransLink governance to give mayors more control over spending.

And he said it would be impossible to work out the permutations of

a highly advanced new funding source like road pricing, which could charge motorists distance-based fees that might vary by time of day.

“This is a pretty brief window,” he said Wednesday. “To try to do what other jurisdictions took seven years to do in 10 months and have a chance at public support is really difficult.”

Walton has asked the new transportation minister but still has no answers on what the referendum question might be, who will pay the costs of holding the vote and educatiing the public on the options, or where money raised from a new source would go.

TransLink is about to prepare a 15-year transit investment plan to spell out what transit projects would get funding if the referendum passes. It’s not clear if the province would have the final say on those spending priorities, or if provincial projects like a Massey Tunnel replacement might be included.

And the province, the mayors and TransLink will

have to determine what funding source or sources will be on the ballot. A vehicle levy or a small regional sales tax have been raised by mayors as options that could be quickly implemented.

A key decision for the province will be whether voters get a “none of the above” option that lets them reject any new money for TransLink.

Many mayors fear a veto option will doom the referendum to failure and the region to worsening congestion as the population and numbers of cars on the road grow.

The alternative is politically tricky as well.

If voters can’t say “none of the above” they’d be forced to choose the most palatable of perhaps two or three different sets of revenue sources.

Some mayors say the question shouldn’t be specific to funds at all and instead be a more general plebiscite on the principle of expanding transit that would leave politicians to

work out the details.Transportation Minister

Todd Stone won’t yet say whether a veto should be allowed.

“I look forward to working with the mayors on that,” the minister told Black Press. “I’m not going to predetermine what the question is going to be. I really want this to be a collaborative effort with the mayors.”

Stone said he hopes governance reform can first be settled swiftly.

“Timelines are tight, there’s no question.”

TransLink governance changes and the referendum would have to be enabled by the Legislature in an expected April, 2014 session, Walton said.

A few months is needed to draft the legislation, so the key decisions must be made by this November or December.

Running the referendum

concurrently with civic elections would save money, but Walton said the transit funding question would

overshadow municipal issues and likely result in most civic politicians campaigning against it.

Most mayors have opposed a referendum, which was a B.C. Liberal election promise.

“The referendum is a mistake,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, who said if voters nix more cash for new transit lines his city should logically stop building regular-sized roads in favour of six-lane highways.

“The alternative is doubling the number of highways, doubling the number of roadways – to pave more and more of the Lower Mainland.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the region physically can’t build more or wider roads and the debate needs to be about the future of the economy, which risks being “locked into congestion

indefinitely” without better transit.

She questioned whether the province wants the referendum to succeed or fail.

“Or do they not care?” she asked at the July 17 mayors’ council meeting.

White Rock’s Wayne Baldwin said the province and TransLink’s appointed board should make the decisions, since the mayors’ council has no real power.

“I can’t imagine 10 months from now going to a referendum,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “That’s just ludicrous. And what it will do is set us back another 14 years.”

A realistic discussion of what residents can afford should come first, Corrigan said.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she supports the referendum because “people need to have a say in how this damn thing is being run.”

TransLink officials have estimated up to $23 billion will be needed over the next three decades to maintain the existing transit system and build new lines.

TransLink referendum could come next spring

Play Hundreds of Songs Right Away!

Like most piano wannabes, I endured years of boring and mind-numbing “traditional” lessons. Not fun! Later I also learned how to play chords. Not only did I finally begin enjoying the piano, I discovered you could

do lots of fun things like playing in parties or jamming with friends. Playing in church for example (where you had to learn new songs often) became easy! You see, unlike the traditional method where you worked on ONE music piece for a long time, with chords, you could play dozens of tunes right away!

Finally a Method for Adults…Even Older Adults, That Absolutely Works!

This is not the same as other chord methods you may have tried in the past. Those methods still have you memorizing chords note-for-note and then work on learning how to play them. I discovered and developed rich

sounding chord patterns that even totalbeginners can play right away with both hands. You'll be playing all your favourite songs before you know it! Since creating The

Tolling HOV lanes seen as less useful in Metro VancouverJeff NagelBlack Press

TransLink isn’t alone in looking at road pricing as a source of new revenue.

Toronto’s regional transportation authority is among the Canadian jurisdictions that have studied the possibility and it has just proposed a slate of new funding tools.

None of them is comprehensive road pricing of the sort that has been bandied about by Metro Vancouver mayors, where motorists would pay a fee – at least at peak times and possibly varying based on congestion levels – to travel any significant distance.

Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of the Metrolinx authority in Greater Toronto, said his planners do support the road pricing concept but decided against it for now.

“While we have very good rapid transit service into

downtown Toronto, we don’t have the choices available in other parts of the region,” he said in a TransLink-organized panel discussion Friday with counterparts from Vancouver and Montreal.

“We felt that we needed to invest more in building those rapid transit choices in some of the more suburban areas before we could move towards a comprehensive road pricing program.”

Toronto has proposed to raise $2 billion a year for

transit through an increase in the HST in the region, along with higher fuel taxes, a levy on non-residential parking stalls and increased development charges.

The one variant of road pricing Toronto intends to pursue is converting HOV lanes to ‘HOT’ (High Occupancy/Tolled) lanes where those who opt to pay a toll can use the lanes along with HOV users to bypass congestion.

“That’s intended to help

expand the system,” McCuaig said in an interview. He said Metrolinx will use HOT lane toll revenue to increase HOV lanes from 69 kilometres now to about 450 kilometres over the medium to long term in the Greater Toronto/Hamilton area.

“We see that as a significant way to introduce a choice to the traveling public, that they can get a higher level of service if they pay a premium.”

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said HOT lanes aren’t seen as a key part of the solution to the long-term transit financing conundrum in Metro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver mayors have so far suggested a vehicle levy, a small regional sales tax, or a share of carbon tax fund future transit expansion, including rapid transit lines to UBC and through Surrey to Langley and White Rock.

Road pricing is seen as the ultimate and most powerful tool – not just raising money, but also shaping travellers’ behaviour.

Toronto picks HOT lanes over TransLink’s road pricing

The head of Community Savings Credit Union has been elected vice-chair of the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation (RCHF).

Doug Eveneshen, president and CEO of Community, has been on the RCHF board for the past year.

“Royal Columbian Hospital is a very personal place for me … my wife, my mother and my father-in-law have all relied on it for their good health,” said Eveneshen, who lives in Coquitlam and works in Surrey, in a foundation press release.

“I feel that I’m at a stage of

my life, both personally and professionally, where I can make a difference and give back to the community … and the more I get involved in RCH, the more passionate I become

about it.”Eveneshen got hooked

on helping RCH when he answered calls from donors during the foundation’s annual donation day last October and he listened to their stories about

how important RCH was to them. A tour of RCH’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) also tugged on his heart strings.

“That day up in the NICU,

I met a baby that weighed one pound. One pound! That’s one of the most amazing things that happens [at RCH],” said Eveneshen.

“I vowed that day that if there’s more that I can do to support RCH, I will do it.”

RCHF board chair Belle Puri and president/CEO Adrienne Bakker were delighted to have Eveneshen’s help considering his 28 years of experience in the financial world.

“He is a strong asset to our team as we lead up to a major capital campaign in support of RCH’s redevelopment,” said Puri in the release.

Thank you to Wally’s Burgers New Westminster for their kind sponsorship of the Carrier of the Week program.

CARRIER OFTHE WEEK:

NATHAN

LE DER

If you are interested in becoming a carrier for the NewsLeader

One of the greatest feelings in the world is delivering newspapers on a sunny day when it’s 28°C, there’s a cool breeze, and you can’t stop smiling at the climate. So it’s really unfortunate that 2 out of 3 deliveries are either cloudy or rainy. Naturally, this just makes delivering the last paper more enjoyable. Rain, shine, snow and hail—we’re there!

Being a carrier is great and there’s a lot of fulfi lment in the job. I’m honoured to have been chosen as Carrier of the Week. All in all, being a carrier is an enriching experience, one which I just wish the weather would endorse.

SPORTSAlthough New Westminster

Salmonbellies dropped to sixth place following a 15-6 loss to the Shamrocks in Victoria on Friday they can still claim a playoff spot if they win their final two Western Lacrosse Association games.

New West has a 6-9-1 record, a point behind Maple Ridge (7-10-0), but the Burrards have just one game remaining. Coquitlam (7-8-1) currently possess the fourth and final playoff spot, two points

ahead of New West.The Salmonbellies, however, can beat

out both if they defeat the defending champion Langley Thunder in the Fraser Valley city on Wednesday and the Adanacs at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday. A victory against the A’s would give the ’Bellies the tiebreaker advantage between the two teams.

In Victoria, the Salmonbellies started out

strong scoring the game’s first two goals, but then they surrendered the next six.

Curtis Hodgson, Jordan McBride, Kyle Ross, Ilija Gajic, Richard Lachlan and Keegan Bal scored the Salmonbellies’ goals. Gajic and

Bal seemed particularly snakepit considering they each took 11 shots.

McBride also had a pair of assists.Last Thursday, goaltender Neil Tyacke

made 54 saves to lead the Salmonbellies

past the Burnaby Lakers 13-8 at Queen’s Park Arena despite being outshot in every period and 62-47 overall by the visitors.

Rookie Logan Schuss fired five goals and assisted on three others for the Salmonbellies. McBride, also had a good game with three goals and an assist. Gajic and Bal notched four-point performances as well with a goal and three assists each. Hodgson, Lachlan and Nenad Gajic also scored for New West.

Three New Westminster players helped British Columbia win a under-19 women’s field lacrosse national invitational tournament in Oshawa, Ont.

B.C. defeated Team Ontario 10-5 in the final of the tourney played in conjunction with the world women’s championship.

Prior to the final, they began with a 15-6 victory over the Ontario Selects and Lauren Stewart of New Westminster being named player of the match. B.C., with Mary McQueen and Gaby Jones of New West also playing key roles, later defeated Team Ontario 13-6 and the Selects again 15-1.

DUSTY ROAD

Vancouver Junior Cannons infielder Joey Burgess awaits the throw as Whalley Junior Chiefs baserunner Evan Kellington safely steals second base in the first game of their B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League doubleheader, Saturday at Queen’s Park Stadium. The Cannons won the game 6-4 and also took the second 2-0.
