Wants Kinder Morgan to ensure pipeline won’t hurt the Fraser

While antihomophobia policies have met with controversy in other B.C. school districts, New Westminster’s sexual orientation/ gender equity policy was approved Tuesday without a word of dissent. According to a report to the board of education, the policy was adopted to ensure inclusion of all students and employees in all aspects of school life regardless of sexual orientation. Along with defining ways to prevent discrimination and harassment, it is also intended to make sure complaints about homophobia are taken seriously and dealt with effectively and efficiently. The policy also has an educational component. “That goes to show it’s a good reflection on New Westminster and our schools and our community members that we are a community that values diversity, and that’s fantastic,” said board vice chair Jonina Campbell of the support for the policy. see ‘IT’S JuST’, A3

Glenbrook gardeners hope to grow community Front-yard plots making great conversation starters Mario Bartel

photo@newwestnewsleader.com

Deanna Tan Francoeur is planning to plant leafy greens like kale, lettuce and spinach in her new front yard garden. She also hopes it will grow community. Tan Francoeur is the spearhead behind a new front yard garden initiative in Glenbrook North. With funding from the Vancouver Foundation’s neighbourhood small grants program and the blessing of the City of New Westminster she’s matching neighbours interested in growing a food garden in their front yard with each other to share the labour and their expertise. This year seven homes have signed up to get their garden started by September. Each must

commit to helping two other neighbours for at least three hours and they, in turn, will get help from two neighbours. Tan Francoeur matches the neighbours, but after that it’s up to them to arrange scheduling. It’s not unlike a small gardening co-op, says Tan Francoeur. “You’re getting an afternoon of free labour from your neighbours.” But as the gardens, and program, grow, she also hopes it will bring the neighbourhood closer together. That’s why the gardens are in front yards. “Gardening in the front yard gets people out and about, meeting people in your community,” says Tan Francoeur. “You do it for the sense of community.” As a registered dietician for Fraser Health in New Westminster, Tan Francoeur also knows the importance of creating

a close connection between people and the food they eat. “When you know where your food comes from, you have a vested interest to pay attention,” she says. The neighbours who’ve signed

on range from experienced gardeners who want to expand their existing plot or move it to their front yard to take advantage of better sunlight, to ones like herself who’ve never gardened before.

‘It’s just a natural progression’ ⫸

“Blanket policies on discrimination are important, but this identifies very specific things we have to consider to make sure our schools are safe and inclusive and that’s important to do that.” Trustee MaryAnn Mortensen said the board, despite its differences on other subjects, was always going to throw its full support behind it. “It’s a great thing. It’s a shame when it’s turned into such a celebratory thing, that you would need to celebrate it and talk about it. But it’s important to talk about it. It’s just a natural progression,” said Mortensen. Campbell said one of the most

important pieces to the policy is having a staff member identified at each school as someone to support students and staff who may be identified or assumed to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or transsexual or question their sexual orientation or gender identity. “Everybody needs to know there’s something there they can feel safe to turn to,” said Campbell. Following public consultation, in which feedback was solicited from a New Westminster secondary Social Justice 11 class and from the Royal City Pride Society, changes were made to the definitions of some of the terms

as well as implementation of several other suggestions from the community into the policy. In his response, Pride Society vice president Ian Gould made several suggestions and congratulated the district on its work. Mortensen said the policy is comprehensive thanks in part to more than 20 districts in the province developing policies before them. “You learn more about how you reference things. It’s important you choose the right words. It’s not about being politically correct, it’s about being sensitive to people who have had words used against them,” said Mortensen.

Even gardeners without a front yard can ask for permission from the city to use the boulevard in front of their home. Some gardeners offered to lend a hand without the reciprocal labour. Each gardener gets some money to buy tools and supplies, some of which will be matched by Lowe’s. And while the growing season may already be well underway and even over for some crops, gardeners can build their beds and organic matter in preparation for fall and winter crops. “There’s so many benefits from gardening,” says Tan Francoeur, who’s so encouraged by the response to her effort she hopes the program will spread to other neighbourhoods in the city. • For more information about the Vancouver Foundation’s neighbourhood small grants, go to www.neighbourhoodsmallgrants.ca

‘Conditional support’ ⫸

continued from frOnt page

“It is a difficult balance and that’s what we’re trying to protect. It is not an easy discussion to have.” Weighing those balances, she said, went into the centre’s recent decision to conditionally support the building of a coal terminal at Surrey Fraser Docks if the company goes through the proper permit processes to address the social and environmental concerns raised by its proposal. “We’re watching that carefully. Our support is conditional,” said OuelletMartin. Although the FRDC has

been mostly known for its educational programs at the centre located at the Westminster Quay, it also has a “voice of the Fraser,” said Ouellet-Martin. “It’s one we haven’t activated a lot. It’s very important to be able to educate the public about the issues that affect the Fraser River.” Ouellet-Martin also offered up the FRDC’s facility as a site for public consultation about Kinder Morgan’s plans and was contacted by the company on Wednesday about starting up a dialogue. “I assume they understand well the importance of having a transparent process and a safe pipeline.”

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

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

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

NDP is at crossroads The provincial NDP is at a crossroads, and whichever direction it chooses is fraught with challenges. Not only did the party lose an election that almost everyone expected it would win, it lost a number of key ridings, particularly in the Interior and Lower Mainland suburbs. It also lost in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver was elected. The NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentally minded people. The NDP, by contrast, often has difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour, which has conflicting views on the environment. The past election showed many union members, particularly those whose jobs are related to resource extraction, voted Liberal. The NDP could shift to a more environmentally based party and leave these voters behind permanently. But if the party did so, they would be playing catch-up with the Greens. Or the NDP could move in the direction of being much more robust in supporting economic development. While this would appeal to a large core of voters, the party would likely be saying goodbye to many of its environmentally minded voters. The provincial NDP risk being caught in the squeeze that the federal Liberals were in after the 2011 election. The Liberals were outmuscled by the Conservatives on the economy, and by the federal NDP on the labour, environment and social issues. If Adrian Dix stays on as leader, there is almost certain to be a vicious internal fight within the NDP, which will likely lead to a divided party. That would leave it in even worse shape to deal with changes in provincial politics. Premier Christy Clark and her party are watching the NDP angst with undisguised enthusiasm. —Langley Times

Key piece in chess game of city building Every once in a while, a city has a chance to hit the reset button. The Larco property is one such opportunity—a chance to fix something that, if not fixed, could be a liability for decades to come. The Larco site is the massive parking lot separating the Fraser River Discovery Centre and Westminster Pier Park. It’s the last undeveloped high-density development site on the water in the Royal City. In 1996, Larco Investments Ltd. had a plan approved by city council for 1,000 residential units in five towers of more than 30 storeys on that site. Picture a massive anchor tugging the entire city into the river, and you get the idea. Then in 2005 a revised plan slimmed the towers to provide a gentle reminder that yes, New Westers, there is a river somewhere over there. “This is a far superior plan than the one in 1996,” Larco consultant Art Phillips said at the time. “It has lower density; a much wider esplanade; views are

opened up dramatically; and open space is increased—it’s the vision of the day.” Many residents didn’t like it any better, though. “Is this the best place for these five towers?” said Renée Saklikar (incidentally, married to BC NDP leader Adrian Dix) in a NewsLeader article. “What does the community get in return for allowing such a large development?” Indeed, what was the city getting in return? My guess is, back then we didn’t have much bargaining power. The high density zoning was already there. And the city was struggling. Downtown was known for beer hall bozos, a place to fence stolen CDs and observe the sad state of homelessness. The North Fraser Perimeter Road was a

looming reality, threatening to hit the throttle on truck traffic along the river. And to the east of the Larco property was a contaminated brownfield. Well, if Larco had “the vision of the day” in 2005, the city’s hoping it’s open to a new vision that takes advantage of a New West that is much changed. A revitalized River Market, a civic centre under construction, a cleaned-up Columbia Street. Plans to remove half—and eventually, perhaps, all—of the parkade over Front Street. And of course that gorgeous park, Westminster Pier, on that old brownfield site. Meantime, TransLink has abandoned the North Fraser Perimeter Road and in fact, New West is talking to them about redesignating Front so it’s not truck-oriented. Lots of good stuff. Which is why city council has asked Larco back to the table, to develop a plan that trims the project scope from five towers to two, something that blends in better with the skyline, and promotes better public

connections to the river. In effect, the city wants to downzone the property. Will Larco play? They could thumb their noses and say, no way, we’re building our Great Wall of China. City manager Lisa Spitale says that’s doubtful. Conditions in the area have improved so much she believes the company will want to capitalize. “Larco’s a savvy developer,” she says. “They see that.” The new park alone would entice them to want to integrate their project design better, she says. Less density means less revenue for Larco, but also big savings in construction costs. They wouldn’t have to build 1,100 parking stalls. And building five towers would have been tremendously expensive, considering most of it would be over the water. May the negotiations begin. It will be unfortunate if Larco decides to park its plans indefinitely, which given past history could well be the case. Lisa’s confident they’ll come back to the table.

COMMENT

From unshaven armpit into a crown jewel Are we fixated with the wrong problem? Any improvement to the Pattullo crossing will increase traffic through New Westminster. More traffic will further congest dozens of intersections, driving impatient commuters to seek detours through residential neighborhoods. Any improvement to the Pattullo Bridge will move accidents off the bridge deck into residential neighborhoods. A new bridge will steer urban development for generations. A new eight-lane bridge would justify highways north, south and west demanding the expropriation of hundreds of homes. Dividing the Royal City into boroughs with autobahns and multi-level interchanges. Is this the future for New West? Perhaps we need a bigger bridge so TransLink employees can drive to Sapperton. We can improve transportation of cargo through New West. The most efficient mover of bulk cargo is ship traffic followed closely by trains. A short train can move the same cargo as 100 trucks. Perhaps our antiquated train bridge should be replaced with a tunnel. A new railway tunnel will eliminate conflict between rail and marine traffic. Railway tunnels need long approach ramps, so the upriver entrance could be in the Coquitlam rail yard and the down river entrance in the Stewardson Way train yard, with a connecting tunnel. Train traffic through New Westminster would be underground, eliminating train and traffic conflicts. Removing one or two tracks along the waterfront will create enough room to connect Front Street through the industrial properties to United Boulevard. The last few feet of riverfront could be transformed into a linear parkway, connecting Queensborough to Coquitlam with a pedestrian/cycle path. Replacing the train bridge with a tunnel could transform the New West waterfront from the unshaven armpit that it is into the crown jewel it could be. Something future generations will be proud of. Harvey Barton New Westminster

How many more efficiencies? During the New Westminster school board meeting on Tuesday, a CUPE special education assistant took the board to task as the district has “cut to the bone and now are cutting off limbs.” While I agree the cuts to SEAs and supports for children is “cutting off limbs,” the district has certainly not “cut to the bone.” SD40 had threatened to cut the elementary band program to save $15,000. After much ado, it was determined by efficiently scheduling band time to coincide with the classroom teacher’s prep block, enough savings will be achieved to save the program without compromise to the classroom teacher and students. After facing seven deficits in 13 years, why are we only discovering these kinds of efficiencies now? How many more efficiencies like this can be put in place to minimize impact to students and staff ? Lisa Chao New Westminster

Incinerator could go to Vancouver Island Metro Vancouver garbage could be barged across strait Jeff Nagel Black Press

The possibility that a new waste-to-energy incinerator might be built on Vancouver Island has caused a stir among Nanaimo-area politicians who fear Metro Vancouver’s garbage may be shipped their way. Nanaimo Regional District area A director Alec McPherson told Black Press he’s “very concerned” the incinerator might be built at Duke Point, south of Nanaimo. No specific proposal has been made public for that part of the island. But Metro Vancouver officials have notified all Vancouver Island regional districts that the search for

prospective sites includes their regions. Municipalities, regional districts, other branches of government and private property owners can all step forward and propose their land as a potential host site for the new waste-toenergy plant. Locations both inside Metro Vancouver and outside the region must be fairly considered, according to an environment ministry directive. A short list of potential sites is to be drawn up by November. One potential site on the far side of Vancouver Island is a former pulp mill at Gold River, which would require Metro waste to be barged all the way around the island. A Nanaimoarea site would offer

much closer shipping, and might require no barging at all if garbage loads were instead sent via Tsawwassen-Duke Point ferries. Fraser Valley Regional District directors are strongly opposed to the construction of any new garbage incinerator in the Lower Mainland, citing the risk of increased air pollution in the constrained Valley airshed. Fraser Valley politicians have said they would have no such grounds to object to a remote incineration site like Gold River. But what about Nanaimo? “That would not be in our airshed,” FVRD vice-chair Patricia Ross said. “It wouldn’t necessarily affect us and our airshed and

Car still king for Metro Van commuters Metro Vancouverites have Canada’s fourth longest commute to work at an average of 28.4 minutes, according to new data released by Statistics Canada. Maple Ridge workers have it worst, battling traffic for an average of 35.2 minutes, while

the commute is as much as 33 minutes in the Tri Cities and 31 minutes in Surrey. The numbers were contained in the voluntary long-form National Household Survey conducted as part of the 2011 Census. The region’s shortest

commute was 24.3 minutes in North Vancouver City, where residents spend even less time getting to work than Vancouverites, who average 25.4 minutes. Public transit use was 19.7 per cent in Metro Vancouver, up from 16.5 per cent in 2006.

Local actor in Game’s Afoot New Westminster’s David Quast plays a leading role in the upcoming Canadian premiere of The Game’s Afoot, written by acclaimed American playwright Ken Ludwig. Presented by Peninsula Productions and performed in White Rock, the play is set in 1936 in the extravagant Connecticut castle of Broadway star William Gillette. The play offers mystery and spine-tingling thrills, based on the best traditions of ‘whodunnits’ by Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Quast said he was bitten by the acting bug in 1998, and it has since spread into writing and directing. “Acting allows you opportunities to do things you may not be able to do in your day-to-day life,” he says. “So any chance to do something out of the pale is a gift.” Quast’s penchant for comedy and “strange, dark stuff ” is evident as he plays a quirky, Watson-like foil to the wannabe Sherlock Holmes character as they sleuth the killer amongst the

guests in a mansion. He says there’s lots to love about The Game’s Afoot. “It’s drop dead funny, whip smart, lightening quick, and full of strong, engaging characters,” Quast said.

• The Game’s Afoot runs July 10-28 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., White Rock. Tickets ($18-23) are available at 604-536-7536 at the Playhouse Box Office, Tuesdays to Saturdays, 1-5 p.m. and online at www.whiterockplayers.ca.

Freedman featured One of New Westminster artist Greg Freedman’s favourite subjects is the Fraser River and the West Coast. Before retiring to take up painting full time, Freedman worked on the tugs with Seaspan, and later as a captain of the SeaBus that plies the waters between Lonsdale Quay and downtown Vancouver. This summer, his painting ‘Smitties’ (left) was chosen to be featured in the 16th annual International Society of Acrylic Painters International Open Exhibition (Aug. 1 to Sept. 2) in Paso Robles, Calif.

Secret Ridge brings paired homes to Coquitlam

A different type of attached home Mission Group Properties is bringing a different type of home to Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain with Secret Ridge, which offers unique “paired homes.” A paired home is attached like a townhome, but is much larger and has the feel of a single-family residence. The paired homes at Secret Ridge are 35 feet wide, which is more than double the usual size of a townhome. “We gave careful consideration in the design of the homes’ layouts, with the homeowner in mind,” says Mission Group President Randall Shier. “These large duplex-style homes look, feel and act more like a single-family home, but at a very attractive price point.”

The homes have been particularly attractive to downsizers, in part because of the special features. One of those is the master-on-main layout that allows you the flexibility and convenience in the long term. One of the floorplans actually features two master suites, for those who prefer to have their own sleeping quarters or a guest space. “Homes offering wider layouts, larger sizes and most importantly, a master bedroom on the main floor is not commonly offered in Coquitlam,” says Coquitlam councillor Mae Reid. For more information about Secret Ridge, visit www.secretridge.ca or call 604-725-8126.

caretaker George Wright is sure to be part of why your every experience at your cottage getaway will be wonderful. Wright will be available to help you plant a flower garden, grow vegetables, teach you about woodworking or just sit around and have a chat. He has been one of the inspirational forces behind The Cottages at Seabright Farm, and it’s obvious to even the most casual observer how passionate he is about everything he gets involved with. “You can walk out your door and grab vegetables, herbs and fruit for dinner,” Wright says. “There’s nothing like this anywhere.” Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-morebedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing

decks and covered porches. Srigley says that a family “can start with a cozy cottage and then over time, add studios or guest suites attached by breezeways, garages with lofts and potting sheds.” A circa-1895 cottage has been lovingly preserved and, along with the community barn and gardens and a swimming pool, will become Seabright Farm’s gathering place, plus a venue to hold art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and of course, wine tastings! Cottages on large ocean-view lots start at $399,000. Only 15 lots out of a total of 57 are being released this summer. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915. A preview weekend will take place on June 29 to July 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and interested buyers are encouraged to pre-register online and call or email for an appointment time.

‘Point Roberts has character’

Oceanfront relaxation at The Cottages at Seabright Farm By Kerry Vital

“Look at that sunlight filtering through the trees,” says Wayne Knowles as he drives onto the property at The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “This is a once in a generation opportunity.” Knowles, the development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, is extremely excited about the project and what it means to the community. Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be. “There’s so many things you can do,” says Knowles. “Or you can do nothing at all.” The Point Roberts Golf and Country Club is a full 18-hole course for when you’re in the mood to hit the links, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park, where you can find plenty of opportunities to see orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just a moment down the road from The Cottages at Seabright Farm, with its sandy bluffs and tidal flats. Plus, the full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is just down the road. The unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience. “Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.” The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct southfacing waterfront, and the land is a rare and exceptional canvas. Vancouver award-winning visionary and design specialist Cal Srigley has been engaged to create a one-of-a-kind community. “Point Roberts has a unique landscape that shapes our designs,” Srigley states. “Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and fields, and sun-dappled woodlands characterize the community and especially our site.” He notes that the sky, which is seemingly endless, lends character to the landscape. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings. “We also incorporated many

We grouped houses together and created intimate enclosed yards around them, freeing up much of the landscape to give the appearance of farm clusters rather than sub-division lots,” Srigly says. “The overall effect is of a small rural settlement, with open land throughout and picturesque cottages that are charming, yet simple and authentic in their detail and materials.” The Cottages at Seabright Farm are designed for family fun, whether you want to go horseback riding on one of the trails, learn something at the community barn and gardens on the property, wander the beach looking for driftwood or play board games on your deck.
