Residents resist child care expansion Family fears for its health, safety and livability if approved Grant Granger

While a proposal to expand a day care facility in Glenbrook North would alleviate some of the area’s demand, homeowners next door say it will be too large for the neighbourhood. Cambridge Montessori has applied to city council to rezone

its property at Seventh Street and First Avenue so it can increase its capacity from 25 to 45 children aged 30 months and older. The day care currently uses the lower floor of Grace Hall, built in 1954, with the upper floor occasionally used by community groups, says a report to council by city social planner John Stark. Day care operators David Chen and Joyce Ko want to upgrade the upper floor and the building so it can expand by 20 children. With

the renovations they are looking to legalize through a rezoning the existing legally non-conforming use. After buying Grace Hall in January 2011, they submitted an expansion application to increase its capacity to 50 a few months later. In response, the city got a bunch of correspondence and phone calls about inadequate screening of the parking area, idling cars and poor maintenance of the property which the report said were related to the previous owner.

That application was put on hold. Cambridge then reduced its pre-school spaces from 20 to 10 to reduce traffic and parking demand. They also added landscaping features to reduce dust many neighbours complained about. This time, Cambridge is proposing seven off-street parking spaces and wants to work with the city on providing on-street, shortterm loading spaces which could reduce the use of off-street parking.

A new poll of Lower Mainland residents on the issue of increased coal exports has found opinion is nearly evenly split on a proposed new terminal in Surrey. The survey by Insights West found 32 per cent support the $15-milllion coalhandling facility at Fraser Surrey Docks, 31 per cent oppose it and 36 per cent are undecided. A large proportion of respondents weren’t familiar with the proposal, which would bring more coal trains through White Rock and South Surrey and send coal-laden barges down the Fraser River to Texada Island, for transfer to ocean-going ships. Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the findings show area residents are of two minds on coal.

Two-thirds see coal dust as threat ⫸

continued from front page

Seventy-two percent believe the new Surrey terminal will create jobs and 62 per cent said coal is a significant contributor to the B.C. economy. But more than two-thirds of residents also see coal dust as an environmental threat. And 55 per cent said they wouldn’t support expanded coal shipments from the region because coal is a major contributor to climate change. Canseco said Metro

Vancouverites’ awareness of the project is low compared to past surveys that found large majorities of B.C. residents know about proposed new oil pipelines. “At this point, the environmental concerns from residents are evident but there is also wide agreement on the economic benefits,” Canseco said. Two-thirds of respondents also agreed that coal will just be shipped from other areas if new export terminals aren’t

built here. The survey in June of 752 Lower Mainland adults didn’t tackle the two different types of coal handled in the region. Metallurgical coal, used in steel-making, has been shipped through Metro Vancouver for decades and comes from B.C. mines. The contentious Surrey terminal would be built to handle up to eight million tonnes per year of U.S. thermal coal, which is a much bigger source of greenhouse

gas emissions when burned for power. Another coal terminal expansion handling metallurgical coal has been approved by the port authority in North Vancouver, but work is not yet underway. The regional district has opposed the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal and medical health officers want a health impact assessment prior to an approval decision by Port Metro Vancouver.

ENERGY SAVE NEW WEST Save Energy. Save Money. The winner of the New Westminster Public Library ‘My New West’ Photo Contest, which ran during May and June, is Tatum Wulff for her evocative black and white photo ‘Living the Good Life on the Quay’. Runners up were Brooke MacDonald for ‘Blue Wall’, Janet Kvammen for ‘Twilight Mist’, Sean Gorsuch for ‘Rollin through Royal City’, and Brenda Fairfax for ‘Old Car Parade on 12th Street’. The winning photos can be viewed on the library’s website at www.nwpl.ca/events_programmes/my_new_west_photo_ contest.php. The My New West Photo Contest was part of the celebration for the opening of the new Queensborough library, which is the first branch in the New Westminster Public Library’s 143 year history. The branch opened in the Queensborough Community Centre in May. The contest attracted 60 excellent entries and the library thanks the judges from the community. Mario Bartel (New West Newsleader), Alison Kirkley (Arts Council of New Westminster), Leslie Shieh (River Market), and Catherine Ouellet-Martin (Fraser River Discovery Centre) had the difficult task of selecting the winners. The New Westminster Public Library congratulates the winners and thanks everyone for participating in the contest. All the photographs entered in the contest will be on display at the main library in August.

The City of New Westminster, in partnership with BC Hydro and FortisBC, is launching the Energy Save New West program this month. The program is designed to improve the energy efficiency of low-rise residential homes in New Westminster and make it easier for homeowners to access incentives available through LiveSmart BC, as well as specific heating, lighting and appliance rebates provided by FortisBC and BC Hydro. Energy Save New West covers the cost of a detailed energy assessment conducted by a Certified Energy Advisor (City Green Solutions). After you register in the program, City Green will contact you to schedule a convenient time to conduct the assessment according to provincial and federal (ecoENERGY) guidelines. You will be provided with a customized report of your home’s energy efficiency (EnerGuide) rating, upgrade options and eligible improvements. One hundred free home energy assessments are available to local residents on a first-come, first-served basis. These discounts (valued at $300 per home) are being provided by the City of New Westminster, program sponsors and City Green Solutions for a limited period of time. To sign up for the program and take advantage of the free energy assessment offer, you can register online at EnergySaveNewWest.ca or call 604-527-4572.

Application ‘addresses need for care’ ⫸

Stark noted the application fits in well with the city’s official community plan, its child care strategy and Envision New Westminster 2032. “It would also help to address the need for licensed child care in New Westminster and would alleviate the demand for such care in the Glenbrook North neighbourhood,” concluded Stark. In a letter to council, Matt and Kristin Church, who live next door to Grace Hall, strongly urged denying the application. They say a daycare of more than 25 spaces is not suitable in a residential neighbourhood. To bolster their argument, they point to Stark and then-planning director Lisa Spitale, who is now the city administrator, stating in 2008 that child care facilities of more than 25 are not supported in residential areas under the child care strategy. The Churches said parking and traffic issues are “a constant health, safety and livability concern for our family.” They pointed out up to 50 cars daily drive and idle next to their bedroom and living room windows, and some park on the street where it’s not allowed. “Making matters worse, the insufficient turning radius sometimes prevents traffic from

proceeding. As a result, cars idle five feet from our daughter’s bedroom window,” wrote the Churches. “Currently, we have been unable to leave her bedroom window open in fear that exhaust from cars will cause irreparable damage to her health.” They went on to complain it was like living next to a drive-thru restaurant, saying the facility is noisy and vehicle vibration is a constant source of aggravation.

Pattullo closed The first of three weekend closures of the Pattullo Bridge this summer will take place this weekend. The closures will run from Friday at 9 p.m. until the following Monday at 3 a.m. on the weekends of July 20-21, Aug. 10-11 and Aug. 24-25. Crews will be repairing sections of the concrete deck and repaving portions of the bridge. TransLink, in a press release, said during the repairs it would take the opportunity to review the bridge surface’s condition and make improvements if necessary. The work will not involve structural issues such as narrow lanes, barriers to protect pedestrians and cyclists, or seismic concerns, said the release. If there is heavy rain on any of the weekends the work will be postponed until the weekend of Sept. 7-8. During the planned closures, the City of New Westminster will conduct a structural inspection of the Royal Avenue Overpass at McBride Boulevard as well as patching some pavement in the area.

“When sitting on our living room couch we can feel the vibration of cars using the driveway. Furthermore, the amount of noise generated by 25 children playing outside is astounding. Allowing this rezoning application to proceed will essentially double the intensity and/or duration of this noise and our frustration. That will be intolerable,” said the letter. “As it stands, our six-month-old daughter is unable to nap consistently as she is often startled awake by customer traffic, children screaming, car doors slamming, alarms beeping and customers talking amongst themselves. It is extremely stressful knowing that her lack of sleep can seriously impact her emotional and physical development.” They also noted as new parents they understand the need for child care, but that need shouldn’t trump their right to live “in a safe, healthy and peaceful home.” The application still has to be reviewed by the city’s advisory planning commission and go before an open house in September as well as the Glenbrook North Residents Association on Sept. 18 before going back to council, likely in October. A public hearing before council has also been scheduled for Nov. 25.

Moonrakers Pub to close its doors Longtime Uptown establishment sold, to reopen as Union Jack Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The sun is about to set on Moonrakers Pub in Uptown New Westminster. Last call at the establishment, which has been on Seventh Street a half block away from the Royal City Centre since 1979, will be Aug. 5 at 11 p.m. Following extensive renovations, it is scheduled to be reincarnated as the Union Jack Public House in September. The JAK Group, which purchased the pub in November 2009, has sold

it to another group. JAK bought it from Phil Potter, who named it after a Potter family pub in England after a folk story set in a time when smuggling booze was big in rural England. Moonraker was also the name of a 1979 James Bond film starring Roger Moore. “Everyone’s a little bit sad to know that Moonrakers is going. But they’re also excited to see it change and reopened,” said manager Rhea Reutlinger. “Business has been decent. With the introduction of a lot of the drinking and driving laws, things have gotten a little bit more difficult over the last little bit, but things have been OK.”

The interior of Moonrakers Pub, which will close Aug. 5 before undergoing extensive renovations and reopening under new ownership as the Union Jack Public House.

She said JAK decided to sell because its focus has become more on liquor stores than the pubs. JAK will retain ownership of the

Moonrakers liquor store. Under the direction of Mike McKee, JAK initiated several community events including a seniors Christmas meal on Dec. 25. “It’s been an honour to serve the New Westminster neighbourhood as well as visitors to the area over the past four years,” said McKee in a press release. “All of us at Moonrakers are very pleased to have met so many great people, and we are very proud of what we have accomplished together. On Aug. 3, two nights before the closing, Moonrakers will hold a customer appreciation promotion starting at 4 p.m.

Property owners who want to host Metro Vancouver’s next garbage incinerator will be asked to step forward over the next three months. A formal call for public and private land owners to propose waste-to-energy sites will be issued next week by the regional district and closes Oct. 15. Besides businesses and private land owners, local cities and arms of the provincial or federal governments are all eligible to advance possible sites for Metro Vancouver’s consideration. It’s the latest stage in a complex procurement process for a new plant that’s to be built by 2018 and consume 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year. Metro has already solicited proposals on technology from companies interested in operating the new plant and has short listed 10 of them, based on their track record and other

factors. Most intend to build a massburn incinerator, although a couple of firms would use anaerobic digestion or gasification. It’s expected many of the proponents will have separately optioned sites they consider suitable. But Metro also wants a clutch of up to five more possible properties, one of which could be matched with an eventual winning proposal, in case it doesn’t come with a secured site or its site is less suitable.

Metro is also looking beyond this region to sites in neighbouring regional districts, including those on Vancouver Island. Metro board chair Greg Moore said notification letters sent out recently sparked some alarm among Island residents who feared Metro could build the new incinerator in a community like Nanaimo against local wishes. “People were misinterpreting what we were actually asking for,” he said.

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:

Vote not sure thing B.C. is famed around the world for the quality of its marijuana, and people here buy, sell, grow and consume it mostly without fear of serious consequences from the law. Elections B.C. has approved Dana Larsen’s drive for a referendum on decriminalizing marijuana possession – a reminder pot remains illegal, and unlike our neighbour in Washington state, our province and country remain far away from laws that take drug profits away from criminals. Any move to shake up drug laws in this country is seen as a good thing. But pot smokers shouldn’t have a victory toke yet – it’s not clear this referendum will even get off the ground, and, if it does, whether the province will give it the time of day. Similar to the drive to oust the HST, Larsen and his supporters need to collect signatures of at least 10 per cent of elected voters in each of the 85 ridings. Many people in B.C. may support laxer laws around possessing marijuana (or buying, selling and growing for that matter), but the issue is unlikely to inflame the same passions as a government perceived as dishonest and shifting tax burdens from business to citizens with HST. The drive to create a marijuana referendum could help to get voting-adverse young adults more engaged in the political life of B.C. At the risk of glib stereotyping, hopefully the referendum advocates stay focused and organized, and aren’t smoking what they are trying to legalize. If the referendum were to succeed anywhere in Canada, it should be B.C. But even if Larsen wins, the victory will be symbolic and non-binding – the B.C. Liberals don’t have to support the vote. B.C. may have a permissive pot culture, but this isn’t the U.S., where, for better or worse, voter propositions are binding. And unlike Canadian provinces, states like Washington and Colorado will defy their federal government based on the will of the people. – Victoria News/Black Press

LAST WEEK: Do you completely leave work behind when you take vacation?

55 YES 45 NO %

THIS WEEK: Have you ever done anything you thought afterwards was a foolish risk Vote at www.newwestnewsleader.com

Freedom or safety, can’t have both The democratized world is at a crossroads, in which one route leads to freedom, the other to safety. Embracing one comes at the expense of the other, and neither includes guarantees. Such has become even more evident as we argue over the actions of National Security Association whistleblower Edward Snowden, who revealed last month that his own U.S. government was spying en masse on its citizens’ electronic communications and on its economic partners. The debate crosses party lines, with nearly equal numbers throughout the political spectrum calling his actions either heroic or treasonous. For many, loss of freedoms is far worse than a potential risk of our security. They heed the witch hunts of the past; they bemoan an Orwellian present; and they fear a dystopian future. For others, giving up personal privacy is the price of protection in these turbulent times. They encourage the government to monitor our texts, emails and conversations, ensuring it’s on record who the bad guys are.

Lance Peverley Both sides have merit. Yet both scare the hell out of me. I don’t understand those who put all their faith in officials; so many conversations and deals are made behind the scenes. Nor do I understand faith in the rabble; again, you and I aren’t privy to the shenanigans of our leaders – self-appointed or otherwise. Individually, we are so consumed with our own thoughts and fears that it barely registers the enemy is already on both sides of the gate. Most of us will agree there’s a price to pay for living in a civilized society. We obey its laws, we follow protocol and we understand free speech and other rights have their limits. Yet, those who have faith in the leaders of the so-called free world would do well to remember these 14 words uttered again and again

not so long ago: “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” Despite extremes in their partisan views, it wouldn’t be difficult – depending on which country you’re in and who’s in charge at any given moment – to imagine the word “Communist” replaced with “Labour…” Or “Liberal…” Or “Tea…” Thanks to advances in technology, they no longer have to ask – and you certainly don’t need to tell – to have your politics, your faith and your sexuality on display behind what are, for now, closed doors. Then again, do we really want independent whistleblowers to decide our individual and collective fates? Does it make sense military secrets are transmitted to the masses, potentially endangering our loved ones? Should all investigative techniques be made public, driving would-be terrorists deeper underground? In the days since last spring’s Boston Marathon bombing, we’ve heard of at least two planned

terror attacks on Canadian soil – and others abroad – that were reportedly thwarted, in part, by surveillance and subterfuge. In each case, cyberspace teemed with speculation and condemnation from all sides, questioning the veracity of official and unofficial accounts, labelling one another conspiracists and patsies, and accusing each other of groupthink. Those same texts, tweets and posts are, no doubt, being filed away – along with our phone records – for later analyses, thanks to elected leaders that have lied for a greater good. The question is clear: Do we trust the anarchists or our governments? In one of these worlds, people fear misinformation; in the other, they fear too much information. If you can answer unequivocally and without hesitation, you just might want to keep your thoughts to yourself. Lance Peverley is editor of the Peace Arch News.

hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). While NDP energy critic John Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what BC Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of BC estimates the line could attract more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need. We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal

or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in liquefied natural gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building. You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Columbians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, BC Hydro is managing their capital projects within their planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget but most are under budget. I have been very clear that my mandate, as given to me by the premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal. Bill Bennett Minister of Energy and Mines Victoria

The irony of the placement of your front page article on the military annual exercise in Queens Park, with permission, the picture of the empty Pier Park, your recent attempt at poetry, my support of the military in general and The Royal Westminster Regiment in particular and my own sense of humour prompted the following parody of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae’s famous poem “In Flanders Fields.” If Queens Park is too crowded with squeamish onlookers to undertake this annual exercise, then perhaps they should relocate to the Pier Park where, as your picture shows, there is only the passive yoga crowd to disturb. The karate and kickboxing crowds might also appreciate Westies’ inspiration.

Ethnic outreach returns to haunt premier Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark tried to put the pre-election ethnic outreach scandal behind her Tuesday, after the NDP raised new questions about an apparent effort to silence a former staff member’s complaints about B.C. Liberal Party work done by government staff. Clark told reporters Tuesday that emails from former B.C. Liberal staffer Brian Bonney were “totally inappropriate … and that’s why he no longer works for government.” The emails were included in 10,000 pages examined by a team of deputy ministers after

the ethnic outreach program was revealed in a leaked memo in March. The plan to use government staff time to organize events in ethnic communities, then collect names for use in the B.C. Liberal election campaign, resulted in resignations of Clark’s deputy chief of staff and two other government employees, and Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap’s resignation as minister of state for multiculturalism. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat, who took over responsibility for multiculturalism after the May election, repeated for a second day in question period that the investigation team looked at all

documents and took appropriate action. The 10,000-page package includes a heavily censored string of emails that identifies Bonney as a participant. The first part appears directed at the unnamed staffer. “We will see if we can help find you something else – can you send me your resume? Send it to Brian also,” one email says. The next one says: “Have [former minister of state for multiculturalism] Harry Bloy meet with her and explain how doing anything would damage the premier and the party. Have him say how he will try to find her work and get her back involved. “If need be, offer x

dollars per month to do non-public work up to the election (developing her database of potential supporters).” Clark said the email was examined

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an open house to preview plans for sidewalk safety improvements on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. Two drop-in open houses are scheduled for the following dates and times: Tuesday July 23, 2013 Wednesday July 24, 2013 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Lynnmour Jaycee House Dr. A.R. Lord Elementary School 1251 Lillooet Road 555 Lillooet Street North Vancouver, B.C. Vancouver, B.C.

For more information, please contact Jay Porter, Senior Project Manager, by telephone at 604 527-3105 or by e-mail at Jay.Porter@gov.bc.ca

Tuesday, NDP critics demanded to know if the woman in the emails was offered another job, or if she was interviewed in the investigation.

Cap’s Westwood Cycle - The Past and Present 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 different 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, first 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. After 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 after she started dating Glen she thought she should find 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, after years of looking after people who didn’t look after 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 first “comfort” group in

2001. These were “middle aged” women that just were going out for a “comfort” bike ride. 10km, then stop for coffee. 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.

Metro takes Langley Township to court over growth plan Black Press

Metro Vancouver is taking the Township of Langley to court to make the municipality comply with the regional growth strategy, saying the local council’s defiance of the plan threatens to set a dangerous precedent. At issue is the township’s vision for the so-called University District, a large 180-hectare area named after nearby Trinity Western University and earmarked for future institutional expansion by TWU and related development. Township council last month rezoned the land near Highway 1 and Glover Road, much of which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), but the legal challenge by Metro aims to quash the bylaw. Metro argues the municipality must abide by the new regional growth strategy. It requires the land use change go to a vote of the regional board because it calls for more intensive development of homes outside the regional plan’s urban containment boundary, contrary to Metro’s goal of concentrating growth

in town centres and limiting sprawl in more rural and agricultural areas. The township contends a two-year transition period means it is operating under the old regional plan – not the new one adopted two years ago – and can legally make the landuse change now. “We feel it should be the municipality that deals with landuse issues,” Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said. “We are very confident with the case law our lawyers have reviewed that we are doing the right thing.” Metro directors say a Langley victory in the dispute could leave other areas of farmland or green space more vulnerable to development. “What we’re concerned about is the precedent that’s set if, in fact, Langley is permitted to go ahead with a redevelopment scheme that in essence changes the regional growth strategy boundaries that have been set in place by all the municipalities,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of Metro’s regional

planning committee. Corrigan said Metro agreed to a special study area in Langley Township where more intensive development could be contemplated near TWU, in a corridor that “might be defensible” for further urban development.

A simple majority vote would approve the study area lands, while a higher two-thirds threshold would be needed to okay inclusion of the lands outside the study area. Froese maintained

concerns about a precedent are a “red herring,” adding the Agricultural Land Commission still has final say on development of land in the ALR. “I see it as a basic fundamental right of a locally elected government, which is really in tune with what’s right for their municipality.”

habits and work on an exercise program to lose weight and improve their overall health. They also had to complete specified tasks to help raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and keep an online diary. Worobec said she signed on because a lifetime of dieting always seemed to land her right back where she started. “I needed the motivation and platform to change my whole idea of dieting,” said Worobec. “I needed to change my lifestyle, not just lose weight.” She achieved that in spades. Her fridge is now filled with fresh fruits and vegetables she uses to make healthy juices. She plans her meals ahead of time and shops accordingly. She dedicates more of her time to preparing meals instead of relying on snacks and processed foods. She doesn’t bake as much as she used to. But perhaps more importantly, the competition forced Worobec to go through a process of selfexamination to discover the aspects of her life that had kept her on a perpetual ride on the diet roller coaster. “There are years of habits, coping mechanisms and self talk that I knew I needed to reset and let go of,” said Worobec. “I knew the challenge was going to be my gateway into really doing the work I need

to do.” That included quitting her job and then finding a new one that allowed her more flexibility to tend to her family, especially her three-year-old daughter Charlie. “I really don’t want my daughter to think about diets,” said Worobec. “I would like to have the house be a non-body conscious area.” Sharing that part of her journey through her online diary or talking to strangers at the public events that were part of the challenge wasn’t always easy. But rather than give in to her fears and try to smother them with a bag of cookies or a trip to McDonalds, Worobec used them as motivation. “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,” said Worobec. “It was my motivation to keep it going.” The support of her husband, who gave up his own addiction to diet soda, and cheering messages from family, friends and complete strangers on her Facebook page also helped. But ultimately, the greatest lesson Worobec learned from her Green Fighters’ experience was her health and fitness are her own responsibility. “You can’t expect others to change your habits for you,” said Worobec. “You can only control yourself.”

Strong start in semi for Jr. Salmonbellies After a week off with the first-round bye, the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies stormed the Langley Thunder in the opening game of their B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League semifinal at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday. The Salmonbellies had four goals on the board before the Thunder were able to find the net in taking a 6-1 lead after one period and extending it to 8-2 after two. They cruised to a 12-6 victory. The second game in the best-of-five series was scheduled for Thursday evening in Langley with Game 3 on Tuesday back at Queen’s Park. If necessary, the fourth game will be in Langley next Thursday with the deciding game Sunday, July 28, 4 p.m., in New West. Eli McLaughlin and Quinn Smith both had five-point performances Tuesday with McLaughlin scoring three goals and Smith one. Josh Byrne also had a hat trick along with an assist with Anthony Malcom getting two of each. Other New West goals were scored by Jeremy Bosher, Luke Gillespie and Connor Robinson. Frank Scigliano made 29 saves in the New West net to get the win. The Thunder had advanced to the semifinal by sweeping the Port Coquitlam Saints in the best-of-three quarter-final. The other semifinal features league champion Coquitlam Adanacs against the Victoria Shamrocks. That series does not begin until Saturday, 3 p.m., in Coquitlam.

Port Coquitlam’s Elexa Pakozdy attempts to squeeze through the check of Alison Shanks and Rachel Shuster of New Westminster during Sunday’s gold medal game at the B.C. midget girls box lacrosse championships at the in Coquitlam last weekend.

New West pulls off gold hat trick It was all New Westminster, literally, in the provincial junior girls box lacrosse final Sunday. New West’s No. 2 team defeated the city’s No. 1 team 6-0 to capture the B.C. title in Coquitlam. In their round-robin match, the outcome

was reversed with the No. 1 team winning 5-2. Both squads went through the rest of the round robin undefeated. New West No. 2 also captured the midget gold medal by downing Port Coquitlam 4-3 in the final.

Coquitlam beat New West No. 1 6-4 in the third-place game. To top it off, New Westminster got the title hat trick by downing Port Coquitlam 8-3 in the peewee final.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

Now that the new SkyTrain line is being built, Port Moody is revising its context statement to unfreeze development to allow growth as originally planned.

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Living the bright life at Imani Development’s Shine The sun is shining on Vancouver’s South Main neighbourhood with Shine, the newest condominium development from Imani Development. Featuring a range of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from around 500 to over 1,300 square feet, the 90 homes are exclusive and luxurious, with amazing views overlooking False Creek, downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains. The homes are situated on a quiet residential street, so you’re away from the noise and bustle of Main Street.

The contemporary kitchens feature high-gloss white upper cabinets with wood grain or high-gloss white lower cabinets, complemented by a quartz stone countertop, ceramic tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Wide-plank birch laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms. The bathrooms could be featured in a spa, with their deep soaker tubs, ceramic tile bathtub and shower surround and modern white or wood-grain cabinetry.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Buyers are able to choose between two designer colour schemes, and each suite includes a laundry area with a washer and dryer, for an extra little bit of convenience. The South Main neighourhood has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and Shine is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amenities the area has to offer. You will be within walking distance of schools, shopping, dining and transit, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities. Vancouver’s Olympic Village and the SeaWall are nearby, making it easy to get a bit of outdoor exercise if you’re in the mood. There are also several yoga studios and parks, along with two community centres within easy reach. You’ll also find a large outdoor courtyard with a seating lounge, fire pit, barbecue area and portable outdoor movie screen on the property itself, as well as a rooftop deck with gorgeous city views, and an expansive lobby.

The homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious open floorplans. The project will encompass three buildings, with all construction expected to be completed by next summer. Residents will also have access to a residents lounge with a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other amenities.

Affordable lifestyle living in Guildford By Kerry Vital

Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood is quickly becoming a vibrant place to live, work and play. Now, G3 Developments is adding to the excitement with G3. With three buildings and 155 condominium suites in a range of studio,

one-bedroom, one-bedroom-and-den and two-bedroom floorplans, three is definitely a lucky number for G3, located just steps away from anything you could possibly need. “You can walk to everything,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “There’s easy access” to the rest of the Lower Mainland via the Port Mann Bridge, along with the convenience of living near Guildford Town Centre and the Guildford Recreation Centre and Library. You’re also within walking distance of parks, schools, shopping and restaurants, and just minutes away from Surrey City Centre by car. The homes at G3 are spacious and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and a convenient eating bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or as a place to gather while entertaining. The ceiling mount

track lighting and pendant lights in the kitchen easily illuminate your tasks. The bathrooms feature a quartz backsplash to complement the countertops, as well as wall mount vanity lights, soaker bathtubs and semi-frameless glass shower stalls and a sleek undermount sink. Buyers can choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx. The homes include nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floors), laminate hardwood flooring in the main living areas and lush carpeting in the bedrooms, along with a stacking front-load washer and dryer and storage and parking for every home. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things.

The biggest draw for buyers so far has been the value they get for their money. “These price points are attractive,” Bird says, adding that first-time buyers have been particularly interested. She has also seen longtime area residents looking at the homes as part of their downsizing plans. “They want to live near their kids, but not actually with them,” she says. The first phase, called Premiere, has been selling well and Bird notes that buyers there will be able to move into their new home in March 2014. The second and third phases, Encore and Finale respectively, will be completely finished by next summer. Homes at G3 start at $139,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom. For more information, go to g3living.ca, call 604-588-8238 or visit the showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.
