“Where’s Bart?” a staff member asks Queensborough Community Centre manager Renée Chadwick. “Bart’s in the kitchen,” she replies, only to get a quizzical look from the employee. “Oh, yeah, I have to tell you which kitchen. Now we have five.” It’s a small clarification Chadwick takes great delight in having to make, with the newly expanded facility opening its doors to the public for the first time this week. With the expansion, the centre has doubled in size to 28,000 square

TOWN HALL MEETING - PROPOSED FRASER SURREY DOCKS DIRECT TRANSFER COAL FACILITY In response to Fraser Surrey Docks application to Port Metro Vancouver to operate a Direct Transfer Coal Facility and concerns raised by local residents and agencies regarding health and environmental issues, the City of New Westminster has requested that the Port conduct broad consultation on the proposal in the community.

Facility includes city’s first ‘branch’ library ⫸

continued from frOnt page

The front reception serves as a minicity hall where residents can have their property taxes, utility bills, parking tickets and dog licences processed. Beside the front lobby is the new branch of the New Westminster Public Libarary, the first in the library’s 148 year history. “It’s very exciting. It’s not unusual (to have a branch), but for New Westminster it’s definitely unusual,” says deputy chief librarian Susan Buss as she directs the finishing touches to the location. “Queensborough was an obvious location because the bridge makes the community a little more isolated.” Buss said the satellite location tries to provide a little of everything the Uptown location has. Along with books it has magazines, newspapers, eight Internetaccess computers with word processing programs, DVDs, CDs, audio books, e-books and a cheery children’s chadwIck area. What they don’t have can be delivered to Queensborough upon request. There’s also a study room with tables and desks for students adjacent to the library. The exterior also has some striking features including a mosaic tile tricklewater feature that doubles as a rainwater drain. There’s also a dog water bowl next to the front entrance. Even the centre’s old section is looking new again, including a shiny new finish on the gym’s parquet floor. “Every square inch of the old facility has had some sort of facelift because that was important,” says Chadwick. “The old facility was cherished by the community and when you’re going forward with the new you still have to take care of the old.” The entire project cost $7.67 million with $6.2 million coming to the city in return for hosting Starlight Casino. The rest was from maintenance and capital savings accrued before the expansion that was used to spruce up the old section.

“It’s very nice,” says Gavin Palmer, a Queensborough resident, during a break from his duties as Hyack Festival Association president. “Renée Chadwick has done a fabulous job of managing of the maintenance costs … That was good forward thinking by staff.” Palmer says the upgraded facility was “a little overdue” because of the area’s growing population. What they got, he says, is a top-rate facility, “that is deserving of the people of Queensborough.”

He believes the centre is the city’s endorsement that Queensborough is a major part of New Westminster. “Queensborough is now becoming of age.” For many months, Chadwick and staff have been operating out of a makeshift area in the old community room. Wires and temporary tables were strewn all over the floor with employees working amidst the din and dust of construction. Now she’s got a bright little office with a window—a first for her—with green walls and matching comfy chairs for her visitors. “We’re still getting furniture in, but that can wait. That’s not what makes a community, it’s the people,” says Chadwick.

The expansion makes the community centre truly the centre of the community. Previously, says Chadwick, many programs had to be run out of other neighbourhood spaces because there wasn’t enough room. “What we missed was that place where they can come together, a community living room.” A cocktail reception to mark the new facility’s opening will be held Friday, June 7 with the official opening, a “centre warming,” on Saturday, July 6 when a time capsule will also be sealed. twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

Board decides on option to save elementary program that involves juggling teacher prep time

should still save the $38,000. Although there are complications at each of the four schools, including holding the class during lunch hour at Robson, Pace said she spent the weekend going over the option to make sure it could work. “Given what the sentiment was there that was the best solution for the next couple of years,” said trustee MaryAnn Mortensen on Wednesday. “I had concerns about [lunch hour class] because I really don’t know how the kids are going to eat the lunch before they play.” Along with retaining the status quo, Pace also proposed an option that would have the programs run after school with Lord Kelvin and John Robson students put together and Connaught Heights students traveling to Lord Tweedsmuir for instruction. That would have cut the costs in half to $19,000. Trustee Casey Cook said the board didn’t think the afterhours solution would have been effective because too many students would either drop out or not take it. In approving the option, the board also requested staff find a way to include Queensborough Middle School in the program

A complex option that will see New Westminster’s elementary band program retained while also saving the school district money has been adopted by the board of education. Trustees chose to go with an option proposed by director of instruction Sandra Pace that adjusts teacher preparation time throughout the schools to allow for the program at Lord Kelvin, John Robson, Lord Tweedsmuir and Connaught Heights to continue. Facing severe future deficits, the board had been considering eliminating the program in which a roving music teacher puts on classes for Grade 6 and 7 students at four schools twice a week—a move that would have saved the district $38,000. But a strong negative reaction from the community caused them to reconsider, and on Tuesday trustees reinstated the program with an option that

once the district’s finances are in order. “I still think we need to find a way to encourage Queensborough,” said Mortensen. Along with the community support for the program, the board received a letter signed by several instructors in Douglas College’s music program worried about the long-term effect of cutting the elementary program. “The itinerant band program is an example of what can be accomplished with a small investment, and the program in New Westminster is very successful at developing music in the minds of a large number of students,” wrote John van Deursen, head of instrumental ensembles, woodwinds and brass at Douglas College. “My understanding is that the current teacher has built the program from serving just a handful of students to a current total of over 200 each year. Cutting this program will eviscerate music at the lower levels, damage the excellent New Westminster Secondary School program immensely, and have an impact on the college.” twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Funding TransLink Dear Madam Premier, Congratulations on your stunning win. Now, with a secure mandate for the next four years, it’s time to stop campaigning and get on with the business of running the government. The first order of your new mandate should be to stop dickering with TransLink over funding options and come up with a realistic method of financing roads, bridges and transit in the Lower Mainland. You are far enough away from the next election to be able to take some leadership on this file, and you have an able helmsman in MLA-elect Peter Fassbender, the former vice-chair of the TransLink mayor’s council to help you through this political morass. What we don’t want to see is a referendum on TransLink financing. That might have been a good soundbite during an election campaign but it doesn’t make any sense. For one thing, voter turnout in civic elections is even worse than in provincial elections, and it would be unfair to enable the motivated few — say, folks in urban, transit-rich Vancouver — to vote against new initiatives, thereby eliminating any chances for better transit in more distant ’burbs — such as Surrey and the Tri-Cities. Road pricing, tolls, fares, the sharing of the carbon tax — any number of these ideas should be open and on the table, with you leading the discussion. TransLink has already looked under the couch for change and has found millions of dollars worth of efficiencies. Could more be found? Possibly, but there needs to be some willingness by the provincial government to share the burden and to work with the federal government on more equitable infrastructure sharing agreements, possibly through an enhancement of the gas tax fund. —Tri-City News/Black Press

For Canucks fans, there’s always next year I’m still not over ’94. Remember? Rangers vs. Canucks, Game 7. Nathan LaFayette’s one-timer clanks off the post late in the third with the Canucks down 3-2. New York holds on and wins the Cup. I just watched the Canucks’ near-game-tying-goal on YouTube this morning and almost 20 years later it still stings. I’ve been waiting for a Cup parade in Vancouver for almost three decades. Unfortunately, 2013 wasn’t our year either. When I’m over 1994, I’ll start processing the heart-breaking Game 7 loss to the Bruins in the 2011 final. I’m still seeking Cup closure. But, as many of you will undoubtedly say, who really gives a puck? It’s just a game. In his documentary Manufacturing Consent, influential U.S. professor Noam Chomsky describes sports as a distraction, something that “keeps [people] from worrying about things that matter to their lives that they might have some idea of doing something about.” He’s probably right. I’ve wasted copious amounts of time watching hockey that could have been spent reading literary masterpieces, engaging in politics or some other worthy pursuit. Just ask my wife.

Justin Beddall But my affliction goes way back to the days when the home team dressed in those garish, V-crested uniforms that a New York sportswriter sharply described as Darth Vader uniforms. The year was 1982 and I was 12. The Cup-bound Canucks were a scrappy bunch with a colourful cast of characters that included “King” Richard Brodeur, Dave “Tiger” Williams, Harold Snepsts and Ron Delorme, but when they reached the finals against the dynasty-in-the-making New York Islanders, it was a major mismatch. I was such a diehard fan that when my mom found out the Cup was on display at the Hotel Vancouver we piled into her red Mercury and headed downtown for brunch inside the hotel’s fancy dining room. Some friendly out-of-towners with a Polaroid camera snapped my picture next to hockey’s Holy Grail and gave it to me. Next, my mom, always

big on spontaneity, decided she’d get me a ticket for Game 4 of the series (the Isles led 3-0) that night at the Pacific Coliseum. The game was sold out so she bought me a ticket from a scalper. Turns out that it was a standing-room-only ticket, so I didn’t have the best view as the Islanders lifted the Cup but I do remember some fans throwing ice cubes at them. Witnessing that moment probably made the 1994 loss even harder for me to stomach. Ditto for 2011 against the Bruins. I remember celebrating the Canucks Game 1 and 2 victories over the Bruins and listening to over-confident fans calling sports radio shows to say they hoped the Canucks lost a game in Boston so Vancouver could hoist the Cup on home ice. Then came the crushing Game 7 defeat and riot that gave the city and local hockey fans a big shiner. At least the shame of that behaviour briefly dulled the anguish of another Cup loss. After the Canucks’ ouster from the playoffs by the Sharks earlier this month, I embarked on an all-too-familiar rite of spring: first anger and disbelief, then avoidance of any Stanley Cup coverage and finally a vow to never again invest so much time, money or emotion into the

Canuckleheads. But this year I did something else: some Internet research on sports fandom. Turns out, living and dying with the home team may actually be good for you. As New York Times writer Bill Morris points out in a March 2013 article titled One Way to Cheer Up: Cheer Harder, there’s “A growing body of scientific research and some compelling empirical evidence [to] suggest that sports fans, even the foam-at-the-mouth variety, are less prone to depression and alienation than people who are immune to such maladies as March Madness and pennant fever.” In the article, Morris interviews University of Massachusetts Amherst psychology professor Susan Krauss Whitbourne, an expert on fans. She told him: “For the really true fan, it can become a problem if they shut out other things in life. But the positive side is that it’s fun and exciting. It’s a cheap high. It’s not that they don’t have a life.” Hmmm. Well, in that case, I guess there’s always next season. Justin Beddall is editor of the North Shore Outlook.

Sunday’s Great Strides Walk at Queen’s Park is to benefit research into Cystic Fibrosis, to help children like New West’s Hudson Verigin. Contributed photo

A time for Great Strides on Sunday

Local Rotary ‘most outstanding’ in district

A team supporting a fiveyear-old New West boy with cystic fibrosis has already raised nearly $12,000 prior to a fundraising event in Queen’s Park on Sunday. The Hudson Hope team that will participate in the ninth annual Great Strides Walk was named after Hudson Verigin who has cystic fibrosis. “We are very proud of our son and all of his

The Rotary Club of New Westminster has been named the most outstanding club amongst 51 in its district for 2012-13. Club president Kevin Gordon received the winning banner at the district’s annual conference in Quesnel on Saturday. The club was founded in 1928 and is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. Originally it was exclusively for men, but now women make up more than 25 per cent of its membership.

accomplishments for raising awareness for CF,” said Voula Verigin, Hudson’s mother. “We do the walk to raise money and awareness for this disease that is affecting our son and so many others.” Hudson has the same disease that took the life of New Westminster’s Eva Markvoort, a crusader for CF who died just four days from her 26th birthday. A CF Canada release says

although Hudson loves to jump on his trampoline, ride his bike and play outside he often misses out on school and activities because others are ill and he can’t risk getting sick and ending in up in hospital. Sunday’s event includes a five-kilometre walk, a barbecue, live music and kids activities. Registration is near the park bandshell and begins at 10 a.m. with the walk going at 11 a.m.

Parade starts at 11 a.m.

Good things come to those who wait.

“This year is extremely special for the regiment and our community as together we commemorate these significant milestones and honour the valiant contributions of members of the Royal Westminster Regiment to Canada,” said Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honourary colonel and chair of the Westies’ 150th anniversary celebrations, in a press release. “As an army reserve unit, our citizen soldiers are proud to serve part time in the Canadian army while they live, work and attend school.” The parade starts at 11 a.m. in New Westminster’s Uptown business district and goes down Sixth Street before going down Queen’s Avenue, alongside the regiment armoury, and concluding in Queen’s Park. newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

New offshore school rule ‘totally unfair’ New West business company CEO says proposal creates a twotiered system Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

A new regulation for B.C. offshore schools is unfair, according to the CEO of New Westminster school district’s business company. Amongst many regulation changes it is proposing, the Ministry of Education is suggesting students at the overseas schools be required to pass the English 12 provincial exam before they can get their graduation certificate. That’s different than for students in B.C., including international ones. Their graduation is based 40 per cent on the provincial exam and 60 per cent on classroom work. “That’s totally unfair,” said SD40

Business Company chief executive officer Brent Atkinson. “How can the guidelines for the exams be different for offshore students than for international students who are attending classrooms here.” Atkinson said he realizes the province needs to do something to deal with complaints of grade inflation and graduates with inadequate English skills, but their solution creates a two-tiered system that would discriminate against students like those at Canadian Secondary Wenzhou No. 22 school in China operated by New West’s business company. “It would be injurious to B.C. offshore schools,” said Atkinson of the effect the regulation could have on recruiting students to those schools. He suggests the ministry should have

a system where red flags would be raised if the variation of the marks between the exam and the classroom was 20 to 25 per cent or higher. That’s something, he said, which should be implemented both in the overseas schools and here in B.C. “There shouldn’t be a radical difference,” said Atkinson. “The rules should be the same across the board.” Another proposed regulation calls for an annual fee of $350 per student instead of the one-time registration fee currently charged to off-shore schools. Atkinson wouldn’t comment on the proposal because it is still in the discussion stages except to say, “it just means there’s an extra charge, but there’s a number of charges in the proposal.” He also wouldn’t comment on business companies being

restricted to using consultants from a list of 16 approved by the ministry. The Abbotsford school district has ended its partnership with two offshore schools

in part because their consultants aren’t on the list. “I was disappointed Abbotsford took the position they took,” said Atkinson, who is upset the

ministry didn’t do any consultation before publishing its proposals. “The bigger issue is the proposal the ministry has out for international education which hasn’t been put

into policy yet, but they flew it out in draft form so nobody is saying much. They’ll have some challenges if they go ahead with that, but it’s only in draft form.”

Alicia is working on leading a healthier life and wants to continue this with the Kin’s Green Fighters challenge. When Alicia Worobec took on the Kin’s Green Fighters Challenge she was filled with fear and trepidation. She was afraid of failing, afraid of the scrutiny of her very public journey to better health and fitness, and of the tasks she’d have to complete as part of the challenge. Like standing in a busy shopping mall approaching strangers to buy daffodils. Or sharing her anxieties in an online diary. But rather than give in to those fears, and maybe find comfort in a bag of cookies, she decided it was time to confront them head on. “I decided to live in the fear, discomfort and anxiety and figure out where it was coming from so I could try to get rid of it.” For the most part, she’s been able to stare them down. “I am starting to recognize them more easily now and I find a way to work through them.”

Untreated Hearing Loss Affects Baby Boomers Still in the Workforce.

rnest Hemingway once said, “Retirement is the ugliest word in the language” and in today's society, it is true. Many baby boomers may yearn for retirement, but uncertain finances and healthcare have influenced the need to stay in the workforce longer.

It has been reported that the percentage of workers between the ages of 65 to 74 is expected to increase by 83.4 percent from 2006 to 2016. But as boomers stay in the workforce longer, untreated hearing loss may sap their incomes and employment. Research reported by the Better Hearing Institute demonstrated that the use of hearing aids reduces the risk of losing income by 90 to 100 percent for those with mild hearing loss and 65 to 77 for those with moderate to severe hearing loss. Those with moderate to severe hearing loss who use aids are twice as likely to be employed as their peers who do not use. The verdict seems clear. Boomers with hearing problems “can continue doing their jobs at a satisfactory level if they do obtain hearing aids,” said Robyn Cox, PhD, a professor of audiology at the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Memphis. Then why are baby boomers not having routine hearing checks and, if they do have hearing loss, use hearing aids? Dr. Cox said she believes the problem is innate in current medical care. “Routine hearing checks are not part of the culture,” she said. “We get all types of checks but neglect our hearing. We have not taught people to realize that hearing needs to be checked.” Hearing aid use expectedly suffers when Individuals do not receive hearing checks. “Many don't know they have hearing problems,” Dr. Cox said. “Many do, and don't know what to do about it. We have made it difficult to Figure out.” An effort needs to be made to get baby boomers focused on their hearing, which will not only change the culture surrounding hearing healthcare, but also urge employers, health insurance companies, and primary care physicians to focus on hearing loss. “We haven't produced evidence for who needs to get hearing screenings, so we haven't encouraged people to do it,” Dr. Cox said. “Primary care physicians don't think about hearing care, and health insurance companies don't include hearing checks as preventive measures. When you go get your physical, a doctor should ask about your hearing and maybe, if you are a certain age, require you to get a hearing test.” Most of the damage has already been done to baby boomers' hearing but, that does not mean it cannot be addressed. The best advice is to be proactive in obtaining hearing healthcare, Dr. Cox said. “People frequently notice hearing problems numerous years before they seek help,” she said. “There is reason to think that the longer they wait, the more difficult it is to make up the ground that gets lost.

In general, it would be nice if as people age they would pay attention to their hearing needs just as much as vision needs.”

Metrotown SkyTrain Station is the second busiest station in TransLink’s network, and one of the original Expo Line stations opened in 1986. Metrotown is also a major bus exchange, with direct bus services to almost every sub-regional service area. Both facilities are operating at or over capacity, and have significant access and accessibility challenges. With funding provided through the Building Canada Fund, TransLink, in partnership with the Federal and Provincial governments, is about to undertake substantial upgrades to the station and bus exchange. Two open houses are being held at this early stage to gather feedback on the conceptual design. Open HOuse Details:

’Bellies bounce T-men The New Westminster Salmonbellies kicked off the 2013 Western Lacrosse Association season with a win on the road, something that was hard to come by for the squad in 2012. The ’Bellies outscored their hosts, the Nanaimo Timbermen, 5-4 in each of the three periods for a 15-12 triumph at Frank Crane Arena on Sunday. Last year, New West went 1-8 on the road, although their only victory came in their first game. Newly acquired Chet Koneczny got the Salmonbellies rolling by scoring just 27 seconds into the game. Koneczny was picked up in a deal with the Victoria Shamrocks in exchange for Ontario product Rory Smith. Three Salmonbellies picked up hat tricks, Alex Gajic, Tom Johnson and rookie Regan Harding, a former Jr. ’Bellie. “He was fantastic,” said Steve Goodwin, who was making his debut as the ’Bellies bench boss after replacing Ken Thomas during the offseason, told Salmonbellies.com. “What a way to start your Western Lacrosse Association career. To get a hat trick in your first game is a

pretty good start in the WLA.” He was one of six rookies in the lineup, four draftees and two junior callups. First-round draft pick Jeff Cornwall also notched his first WLA goal which came shorthanded. Gajic also had three assists while Johnson had two. Jordan McBride matched Gajic’s six-point performance with two goals and four assists. Other New West goals went to Nenad Gajic and Quinn Smith. “It took a little while for the boys to get the system, which is a high pressure system which we’ve been working on in practice for the last 30 days,” said Goodwin. “It’s great to see though. As the game progressed I thought we played a lot better. By the halfway point of the second period I thought we controlled a lot of the play.” Another ex-New West junior, Neil Tyacke made 33 saves in the Salmonbellies net to get the win. The Salmonbellies home opener was Thursday against the Victoria Shamrocks, one of the pre-season favourites in the WLA. They’ll be in Maple Ridge on Sunday and play host to Coquitlam next Thursday.

John Dickinson, ICBC road safety director As a cyclist, I never assume drivers can see me and use multiple lights on the front and rear of my bike. When I’m driving, I give cyclists plenty of room so they’re able to react to the unexpected – such as a car door suddenly opening into their path.

‘Everything Vancouver has to offer’

Mixed-use housing comes to Dunbar Local developer Omicron is bringing the first mixed-use housing project since 2008 to the Dunbar neighbourhood with their 5555 Dunbar project, a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes in a variety of floorplans. Located right next door to the Blaq Sheep Coffee House and Bistro and close to any other amenity you can possibly imagine, from restaurants to community centres to shopping to education and beyond, 5555 Dunbar is perfectly situated. “It has everything that Vancouver has to offer,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and

commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “5555 Dunbar feels like single-family living and (the homes are) larger than you’d find downtown.” On June 1, the neighbourhood will host a block party to welcome 5555 Dunbar to the neighbourhood. Among the entertainment and activities will be an urban market, muralist, golfing station, live band and a barbecue, along with many others. The barbecue will be by donation, with all proceeds donated to the Vancouver Food Bank. Homes start at $349,000. For more information, visit www.5555dunbar. com or call 604-568-7551.

homeownership,” Paukkunen says. The Westbank name has been a huge part of the interest in 188 Keefer already. “The developments speak for themselves,” says Paukkunen. “They have incredible attention to detail and the quality is evident.” Past Westbank projects include Living Shangri-La Vancouver, Coal Harbour’s Shaw Tower and the Fairmont Pacific Rim. They are also

involved in the redevelopment of the iconic Woodward’s property in downtown Vancouver. Sales will begin soon, Paukkunen says, and the presentation centre at the corner of Main Street and Keefer Street is slated to open in the near future. Homes start at $239,900 for a one-bedroom and $399,900 for a two-bedroom. To register for more information, visit www.188keefer.com or call 604-620-2018.

‘Location is really an advantage’

Achievable living at Westbank’s 188 Keefer By Kerry Vital

Vancouver’s historic Chinatown is welcoming a newcomer to its midst with Westbank’s 188 Keefer, a stunning addition to a community already known for its friendly atmosphere. “This is an amenity-rich neighbourhood that’s poised for tremendous growth,” says Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects. “Chinatown has such a storied heritage.” With restaurants, cultural activities and shopping right on your doorstep, living at 188 Keefer gives you a downtown Vancouver experience without being right in the hustle and bustle. “The location is really an advantage,” says Paukkunen. The one- and two-bedroom homes will feature spacious floorplans ranging from approximately 460 to over 1,000 square feet. Retail space will be located on the ground floor of the 17-storey building, with 156 homes in total. Two different levels of interior specifications are available, divided into tower and podium homes depending on which floor you purchase on. The podium homes up to the ninth floor will include polished granite countertops, premium plank vinyl flooring and stainless-steel appliances, among several other beautiful features, while the tower homes will feature engineered hardwood flooring, Miele and Blomberg stainless-steel appliances and Corian countertops. Tower homes are located on the upper floors. No matter where in the building

This is an amenity-rich neighbourhood that’s poised for tremendous growth,” says Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects. you purchase, you’ll find amazing panoramic views of the downtown Vancouver skyline, B.C. Place and the North Shore Mountains. A concrete feature wall will be included on the tower that will be home to a public art installation by Vancouver artist Ron Terada. In the building, homeowners will find nearly 4,000 square feet of amenity space, including a huge outdoor terrace, indoor lounge and fitness facility. The outdoor space will include a children’s play area, urban garden plots, outdoor barbecue, fireplace and seating area, while the indoor lounge will feature a large living room seating area, flatscreen TV, kitchen space and a dining room perfect for entertaining. “This is a unique opportunity to be able to afford a home in a unique community,” Paukkunen says. “It’s an achievable price point and an achievable downpayment option.” Indeed, buyers are able to own at 188 Keefer with just five per cent down, something that is rarely seen in the Lower Mainland’s housing market. “We want to minimize the (financial) threshold to get people into

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.
