Nur Elmasri hasn’t spent his summer just hanging about. He’s organized a free “Fun Day For All Kids in New Westminster,” to be held at the Moody Park playground on Aug. 28.
Kids’ Fun Day organized by a kid Mario Bartel

Nur Elmasri spent some of his summer vacation in Cancun, Mexico with his family. But he knows other kids in his New Westminster neighbourhood aren’t as fortunate. So he’s organized a free “Fun Day” for all kids in the city to be held at the Moody Park playground and water park on Aug. 28, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nur is 11 years old. A veteran proprietor of lemonade and Freezee stands as well as garage sales and bottle drives to
raise money for various causes, Nur says he felt bad for the kids in his townhouse complex and his classmates at Lord Tweedsmuir school whose families can’t afford summertime outings to places like Cultus Lake or Playland. “I see some of them playing soccer, but they want to be able to go to some of these places,” says Nur. “They’re missing out on having fun and learning stuff.” He brainstormed ideas with his mom, Eman, who works for the Lower Mainland Purpose Society
that provides social, educational and health programs for families and new immigrants. To make the day a truly special event, Nur wanted to bring in the Tumblebus, a gutted school bus that has been converted to an indoor play gym, as well as hire a band to play music. He wanted there to be activities like face painting and henna. He wanted to provide free snacks and drinks. To pay for it he needed money and sponsors. Nur researched a budget and
applied for a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation. He carefully filled out the application form outlining his plans for the event, how it would benefit the community, how much money he needed, and submitted it on the deadline, June 30. For the next week he nervously waited to hear if his application had been approved. When he got the word he had money to move forward, Nur says he was “pretty excited.

The recently dismissed executive director of the Hyack Festival Association was back at work in the society’s offices Wednesday. Last week, the full Hyack board of directors voted to reinstate Douglas Smith, who was fired by Hyack’s executive board July 31. Earlier this week, Smith said he would accept the offer temporarily until certain conditions are met and would work from home. But on Wednesday, he was back at work at the Sixth Street offices, although the conditions had yet to be resolved. “They’re in the early stages of being addressed,” said Smith. “Presumably the board will work through that. “Basically they’ve taken some steps to resolve this … I’ve agreed to come back to work for a period of time, and we’ll see where it goes. We’ll see how it works out.” On Aug. 13, the board initially sought the resignations of four executives but decided to refer that decision to a special membership meeting Sept. 10.

Pattullo closure
RCH gets new emergency docs
The last of three weekend Pattullo Bridge closures this summer will take place this weekend. TransLink will close the bridge on Friday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 3 a.m. Crews will be repairing sections of the concrete deck and repaving portions of the bridge. The work will not involve structural issues such as narrow lanes, barriers to protect pedestrians and cyclists, or seismic concerns that have caused TransLink to explore options of replacing or repairing the bridge in its 76th year. The first closure occurred the weekend of July 20-21 with the second one on the Aug. 10-11 weekend. If heavy rain causes a postponement of any of the work, it will be completed the Sept. 7-8 weekend.
The first two of 10 new emergency medicine residents in the Fraser Health Region have started their residency at Royal Columbian Hospital. Dr. Jess Paul and Dr. Margaret Zhang will graduate from the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine in 2018. The remainder of the residents will begin their tenure at various facilities in the region over the next five years. “The addition of these newlyminted doctors to Fraser Health’s
hospitals may ease the strain on the region’s emergency departments by providing a sustainable work force,” said Gavin Stuart, the dean of the UBC Faculty of Medicine. “We are excited to expand our training and teaching opportunities,” said Dr. Anne Clarke, the emergency program medical director for Fraser Health. While Paul and Zhang will be based at Royal Columbian, they’ll also get training at other acute care sites across the region.
“Royal Columbian Hospital is the perfect place to be for the next five years,” said Paul. “Their emphasis on hands-on learning and emergency clinician leadership opens amazing opportunities to learn emergency medicine in different clinical environments.” “You get to see a lot of really interesting pathology,” said Zhang of her new posting. “There’s lots of emphasis on education and working as a team.” newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

Pier Park serves up beach volleyball
Feds give New West seniors dollars
City building beach volleyball courts on Timber Wharf Mario Bartel
photo@newwestnewsleader.com
New Westminster’s beach bums are about to get their own playground. But this one won’t be for tanning or frolicking in the Fraser. The city is installing two beach volleyball courts in the southwest corner of the Timber Wharf, the expanse of hardtop east of Westminster Pier Park. The courts are the first tangible result of a consultation process that polled the public for ideas of how to put the paved wharf to use. They’re expected to be ready for play by the weekend. “There was some sentiment out there to try to get something,” said the city’s director of parks and recreation Dean Gibson. Wednesday, early morning joggers were turned back by fencing blocking access to the wharf as 70 truck loads of specialized sand were dumped into place, then raked by work crews. When completed the volleyball beach will be 16 to 18 inches thick, oriented lengthwise along the wharf to minimize the chances of a stray spike splashing into the Fraser, although, said Gibson, “it’s not inconceivable that the odd ball may find its way into the river.” While summer is winding down, Gibson is hopeful there are enough weeks of good weather still to come that they’ll become a popular addition to the variety of activities already being enjoyed at the park.
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER
One of about 70 truck loads of special beach sand is dumped into place on the Timber Wharf Wednesday for the construction of two beach volleyball courts. The courts are expected to be ready for play by the weekend.
“I think it’s going to fit in with some of the things that are evolving at the park,” said Gibson. “There’s an interesting mix of activities going on there, especially after work hours.” Construction had to wait for a structural assessment of the wharf to determine if it could bear the weight of the sand and where to place the courts. That process was completed at the end of July, and some of its findings will help chart further development of the area, said Gibson,
who’s preparing a presentation to city council in September. Poles and nets will also be installed at the courts, which will be available for anyone to use. As yet Gibson said he hasn’t received any enquiries from organized leagues. “At this stage they’re for leisure use,” said Gibson, adding an open house will likely be held on Aug. 31 to introduce the courts and the sport of beach volleyball.
Persistence pays off for kids event organizer ⫸
continued from FRONT
“I didn’t know I could do it.” But the real work of actually organizing the event was just beginning. He approached the city to get permission to use the park, which also agreed to provide a couple of tents. He booked the Tumblebus, the henna artist and the band, a local group called Freedom 95. He wrote letters to some local businesses like
Joey’s Market and Save-On-Foods soliciting donations of healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables and drinks, and then he followed up with personal visits, something that wasn’t easy at first for the polite young man. “Sometimes I didn’t get treated seriously, like I was a young child,” says Nur. “It was a bit intimidating.” His persistence paid off, with donations of veggie and fruit trays.
Through it all, Nur’s mom has stood by offering guidance when asked but otherwise letting her charge do the legwork. “When you’re 11, whatever small thing comes from you, it will be beautiful,” says Eman. “It’s amazing for a child to be acknowledged by adults.” In the days leading up to his big event, Nur will be busy putting up posters to let people know about
it. He’ll also be writing a bit of a speech to thank all the businesses that pitched in to help make it special. And while the kids are bouncing on mats, grooving to the music and munching chunks of watermelon, he’ll be experiencing a different kind of enjoyment. “I’m gonna have fun that I actually made this event,” says Nur.
Seniors struggling to keep a roof over their heads are getting some help. Alice Wong, the federal Minister of State for seniors, was in New Westminster on Wednesday to announce funding of more than $323,000 to the BC Senior Services Society to provide support for seniors who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. The Society’s outreach workers help vulnerable seniors find or keep longterm, affordable housing. “The impact of outreach services is phenomenal,” said Anna Truong, the manager of housing services for the BC Seniors Services Society, who added her team was able to house 110 seniors in the past year. “By partnering with local organizations to provide essential services to people in need, we are doing our part to prevent and address homelessness in Metro Vancouver,” said Wong.

Darcy doubles Bremner income
Live Comfortably...
Received $126,000 for her winning election campaign, spends $90,000
Liberals outspent NDP Jeff Nagel Black Press
No matter what’s out there.
Grant Granger
The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-from-behind provincial election victory. The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, out-spent the NDP, which listed spending of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million. The disclosures released by Elections BC Monday include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when specific limits apply. The Liberals spent more in advance of the May 15 election. Within the 60-day campaign itself, the Liberals spent nearly $4.3 million to the NDP’s $4.1 million. Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources. NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations. The Green Party of B.C., which won its historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000. The Green Party spent more than the B.C. Conservative Party, which listed $155,000 in expenses. The central party expenses don’t count the additional spending at the local level by individual candidates or constituency associations. Organizations that filed expense reports as election advertising sponsors ranged from large groups like the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Mining Association of B.C. to tiny ones like Kamloops Moms for Clean Air and Denman Opposes Coal. The bulk of sponsors were teachers unions, other labour organizations, or environmental groups.
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
Although she only spent about three-quarters of it, New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy reported income for her first winning campaign that was more than double her closest competitor. Disclosures released by Elections BC this week, showed the New Democrat had a total income of more than $126,000, but her expenditures were $90,000. Hector Bremner of the BC Liberals, who finished second to Darcy in the May 14 election, reported spending $59,500, over $2,000 more than he reported in income. DARCY The filings show Darcy spent $30,000 in salaries, nearly $14,500 in promotional material, $12,600 in rent for an office at Twelfth Street and Eighth Avenue, and more than $6,000 in advertising. The bulk of her income, more than $103,000, came from the BC NDP. Trade unions supplied the former national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the head of the Hospital Employees Union in B.C., with $20,500. The largest contribution came from United Steelworkers Local 2009, which gave more than $8,000 to her campaign. The Hospital Sciences Association gave her $7,100 while the B.C. Building Trades put in $5,100. Bremner received $50,000 in transfers from the BC Liberals. The biggest contribution on an individual basis was $4,500 from Rob Yuen of First In Line Entertainment. Bremner spent $16,450 in promotion material, $8,600 in salaries, $7,400 in media advertising, and $5,000 for his Sixth Street office.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
In the cards
TransLink is about to launch its biggest innovation — the new Compass card to replace cash fares and the Faresaver system — and, come on, can’t we give this muchmaligned transportation authority some time to get it right? The $180-million electronic ticketing system got dumped all over last week because it turns out bus users who pay with cash fares will have to pay a second time to get on SkyTrain. It’s too costly to retrofit buses with terminals allowing cash purchases of a single Compass ticket that will work on the whole transit system. This could place a financial hardship on about 6,000 people a day who start their trip on buses and don’t want to pay a $6 deposit for a Compass Card. But here’s the thing: If those riders who prefer cash fares could be convinced to get a Compass card, the new system would be more efficient and the money paid to get the system running will be a good investment. What’s more, an incentive, similar to discounts provided by TReO to win over drivers on the new Port Mann Bridge, will get more early adopters and smooth the transition. Right now, people are anxious; they don’t understand how the card will work and they worry about being inconvenienced. TreO took care of that, too, by making it easy for people to sign up online. We don’t yet know what the fares will be. TransLink must be on top of its game, ensuring it’s no more expensive to ride transit with Compass than with the old system. The fact is, the Compass card is coming. It’s being tested in a few weeks and will roll out gradually next year. It will end fare abuse because it works in tandem with turnstiles, and if efficiently introduced, will match world-class systems, such as in London, where the Oyster card is ubiquitous. But a clear, concise and multiplatform public relations plan, along with discounts, will be required to ensure a relatively seamless transition. –TriCity News

Independence is required A fatal crash involving a semi-truck and a pedestrian on Langley Bypass earlier this month, just inside the Surrey border, raises far more questions than the answers provided thus far. Why do police continue to have the power to investigate the actions of someone who is working for them, when we have an Independent Investigations Office (IIO) which is supposed to remove blatant conflicts of interest? This particular incident involved a civilian contractor who does regular work for police agencies. He was working for Surrey RCMP, investigating the circumstances of a deadly crash involving a truck and a police cruiser driven by Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver on Nov. 12, 2012, at the corner of 64 Avenue and 148 Street. The contractor was using a semi-truck as part of the work he was doing related to the police investigation.
Frank Bucholtz A few hours later, the truck was eastbound when it struck a 37-year-old Langley man in the 19500-block of Langley Bypass. The driver did not stop. Police put out a public plea for information, and a short time later, the truck was located. Soon afterwards, it was traced to the contractor. Surrey RCMP deserve credit for quickly letting the public know the suspect is a contractor who was working for them on a case involving the death of an RCMP officer. This type of transparency has not always been on display from police. Surrey RCMP also stated that, because the man was a contractor who worked for

them, the investigation would be observed by another police agency. While that is a step toward making this an arm’s length investigation, it is far too tentative. We have seen from the Robert Dziekanski case, and numerous others, that police cannot investigate incidents involving fellow officers and remain 100-per-cent objective. That isn’t a criticism. It’s human nature. Because of the Dziekanski case and others, the province set up the IIO. Thus far, it has been called in to a number of cases, many of them quite minor. This is exemplary. When police officers are involved in an assault, crash or shooting death, it makes sense that someone from outside be given the power to investigate. The legislation setting up the IIO did not make allowances for the agency to investigate civilian police employees (those who are not officers), or contractors doing work for police agencies. Yet

it would seem logical the same conflicts of interest which have caused so much public concern would be present when RCMP are tasked with probing a fatal crash involving someone working for them. This is particularly true when the contractor is doing work on a case involving the death of a fellow RCMP officer. The death of Oliver prompted a great outpouring of support for Surrey RCMP and the work they do, which was appropriate. But to pretend RCMP investigators are able to set their emotions completely aside while investigating such a crash is to suggest that police officers are not human beings. An argument could well be made that the IIO should investigate all deaths of police officers, given the emotional impact of such deaths. Frank Bucholtz is the editor of The Langley Times

“Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficulties looking after themselves. The new centralized system has also been integrated with B.C.’s acute care hospitals so people can return home more easily with appropriate nursing and other supports. But Meadows advises people not to wait for a health emergency to plan for assistance for their loved one. “We don’t want them to wait until their mother has fallen, humans are like this,
particularly around caregiver burnout. Families will adjust and move their lives around incredibly, and then they’re on the burning platform. Humans don’t do a lot of pre-planning.” Among the questions people ask themselves are: Can mom stay home safely by herself ? Who will help Dad with his personal care when I’m at work? I no longer think I can live at home alone. I think I need some help, but what is available? Meadows said Home Health Service Line staff can make suggestions and refer a client for a clinic or home assessment. The new number is already in service for new clients, but current Home Health users can continue to call their local Home Health office for assistance. People can also call 211 to look for community, social or government services.

Coal fight turns to Texada Island Black Press
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE BUSINESSES & YOU COULD WIN AN iPAD MINI www.newwestnewsleader.com/contests Vote now until August 28, 2013
Anti-coal campaigners opposed to a new coal-handling terminal in Surrey have turned to Powell River in their search for allies. The proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal would take coal by rail and then send it by barge to Texada Island, just a few kilometres offshore of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast. Up to eight million tonnes of coal a year could be barged there and stockpiled for transfer to ocean-going ships. Activist Paula Williams said the potential 20-fold increase from the existing coal shipments out of Texada could bring “serious health implications” for Powell River residents and potential
marine environment damage. Port Metro Vancouver has not yet ruled on whether the new terminal can be built, but it has been opposed by Metro Vancouver and several local cities including New Westminster. It also faces demands from medical health officers for a health impact assessment.
Herbicide use OK’d in tidal zones The province will spray herbicides for the first time to control cordgrass, an invasive weed that has taken root in tidal areas of Boundary Bay and Roberts Bank. The work begins Aug. 19 and is limited to infestations on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudflats, with
follow-up spraying set for September. Environment ministry officials say cordgrass can turn coastal mudflats into large patches or solid stands of dense grass, with severe habitat loss for shorebirds, waterfowl, shellfish and fish while increasing the risk of flooding due to sediment accumulation and altered drainage. Various groups and municipalities are partners with the province in cordgrass control efforts. No submissions opposing the recently approved pesticide use permit were received during a five-month public review. More cordgrass infestations along Burrard Inlet in North Vancouver and near Port Moody may be treated in 2014 or 2015.

Salmonbellies to battle Warriors in Minto final A dominant third period powered the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies into the Minto Cup final Tuesday. The Salmonbellies scored five unanswered goals in the final frame to defeat the rival Coquitlam Adanacs 11-7 at Queen’s Park Arena to advance to the best-of-five final against the Ontario champion Whitby Warriors. The Minto semifinal was the 10th time, and seventh in the past three weeks, the two teams have met this season. Coquitlam won the best-of-five B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League final, which went the distance, against New West, but the ’Bellies rebounded to beat the A’s 9-7 in a Minto round-robin game Sunday and then followed it up with another victory in the semifinal Tuesday. The lead changed hands six times in that game with the two teams tied 3-3 after the first period and the Adanacs holding a 7-6 lead after two. Eli McLaughlin, acquired by New West at the BCJALL trade deadline from the Delta Islanders, assisted on Jeremy Bosher’s second goal of the game with 10 seconds left in the second to draw the Salmonbellies to within one and then scored the first two goals of the third period to put them ahead for good.
New Westminster native Josh Byrne produced a five-point performance with two goals and three assists. Single Salmonbellies goals were scored by Anthony Malcom, Alex Bohl, Jimmy McBride, Nathan Stewart and Connor Robinson. New West came second in the round robin after downing the Alberta champion Okotoks Raiders 16-9 Monday while the Adanacs fell to third when they lost 12-7 to the Warriors. That left the Ontario champions with a 3-0 round-robin record and a direct route to the final. With their loss, the Raiders were eliminated. On Monday, the Salmonbellies scored the game’s first four goals and held period leads of 6-4 and 9-7 before rattling off five consecutive goals to begin the third period and run away with the victory over Okotoks. Stewart sniped five goals and added two assists for New West with Malcom collecting seven assists. Robinson and Bosher both notched two goals and three assists while McLaughlin had two of each. Alex Bohl also scored twice with singles going to Cody Nass, Luke Gillespie and Byrne, who also picked up three assists. The Minto final began Thursday with the two teams to tangle every night, 8 p.m., at Queen’s Park until one of them wins three.

Bosa Development’s Pacific Point includes gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and an undermount sink, above, as well as open layouts and huge windows that let the natural light pour in, top and bottom right.
Fine Yaletown living at Bosa’s Pacific Point By Kerry Vital
In the Lower Mainland’s busy real estate market, luxury and sophistication is tops on the lists of many buyers. Bosa Development ticks both of those boxes with Pacific Point, its condominium project in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood. “Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing
Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.” Pacific Point was originally a rental building, but was purchased by Nat Bosa and converted into condos. Every suite has been completely redone, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing. The building holds 214 homes, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. Buyers will find amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver from every suite, along with high-end kitchens, elegant living areas and gorgeous bathrooms. The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, an undermount sink and imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers,
which also appears in the bathrooms. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout most of the main living areas, with large porcelain tiles in the dens and chic carpeting in the bedrooms. The modern bathrooms have their own porcelain tiles and polished quartz countertops, as well as a fantastic soaker tub and an enclosed glass shower in select ensuites. In-suite laundry facilities come standard in every home, as well as custom roller blinds and solid wood entry doors that will easily block out the rest of the world. Homeowners have the choice of two interior colour schemes, Latte and Grey, designed by Cristina Oberti Interior Design. Bosa has long been known for amazing homes and its customer service focus, and this certainly continues with Pacific Point.
Nat Bosa himself is a real estate legend in the Lower Mainland. “Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s value assurance backing the project,” Murrell says. The Yaletown neighbourhood is known as one of the most vibrant in the city, and Pacific Point is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer. Restaurants and shopping are right on your doorstep, as well as transit, entertainment, leisure and recreation. If you’re in the mood for some outdoor activity, you’re just moments away from the SeaWall. At Pacific Point itself, you’ll find a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness studio and yoga area, and a residents lounge with a pool table, as well as a grand double-height lobby and concierge. Homes at Pacific Point are move-in ready and start at $344,900. For more information, visit www.pacificpointcondos.com, call 604-685-0855 or visit the sales centre at 1323 Homer Street, Vancouver any day except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m.
