Theresa Henry-Smith, Paul Clarke and Jordan L’Abbe say they’ve noticed a significant increase in truck traffic, noise and pollution along Royal Avenue since the opening of the new Port Mann Bridge. They suspect drivers are using the road to access the Pattullo Bridge and avoid the Port Mann tolls.

Barely a week into the new school year New Westminster teachers are already expressing concerns about the effects budget cutbacks are having on their ability to teach. Grant Osborne, the president of the New West teacher’s union, said a cut of $700,000 in school supplies and services is putting pressure on teachers to pay for things like copy paper, art materials, lab equipment and even sports equipment like balls out of their own pockets. “We’ve hit a wall, and it’s a pretty big one,” said Osborne. The reduction in money for supplies was part of a series of budget cuts approved by the board of education last May to deal with a projected $3.5-million shortfall in the 2013-14 school year. Also chopped were 27 special education positions, and a vacant vice-principal’s position at New West secondary school isn’t being filled. Please see TEACHERS, A3

NEW FITNESS NEW WEST CLASS: SENIOR STRETCH (50+ YEARS)

CITYPAGE QUAYSIDE TO QUEENSBOROUGH PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE CROSSING STUDY A pedestrian and bicycle connection between Quayside and Queensborough has long been an important City objective. To help facilitate a crossing, $6.2 million in Development Assistance Compensation from the casino was dedicated towards the project. The City and Southern Railway of BC have had preliminary discussions on a crossing on or near the existing rail bridge. Two options have been developed, both with a raised causeway from the boardwalks on each side of the river leading to a movable centre span. One span option is connected to the existing rail swing bridge and the other span option is a separate ‘bascule bridge’ (i.e., a draw bridge).

This new gentle stretch class will help older adults to improve flexibility, joint mobility, range of motion, balance and prevent injury. Enjoy a wide-range of appropriate stretches from many disciplines, including fitness and yoga based stretches that will leave you feeling lengthened, relaxed and rejuvenated. This class is suitable for all flexibility levels and is a great way to give your muscles the regular maintenance they deserve.

Demonstrators protest police silence Mario Bartel

photo@newwestnewsleader.com

More than a dozen women and one man staged a silent demonstration in front of the New Westminster police headquarters on Columbia Street on Wednesday. Their sombre quiet echoed how little they’ve heard from the department since two women, Jill Lyons and Karen Nabors, who worked in the sex trade, were discovered dead in their apartments in the same 11th Street building less than two weeks apart in August, said Summer Rain, of the Vancouver Rape Relief and Shelter, who organized the protest. After an initial flurry of publicity around the case and cautionary statements from police, there’s been no further word on the progress of the investigation. Autopsy results on both women were inconclusive and police are continuing to treat the deaths as suspicious. That’s not good enough for Rain and the protestors who gathered in the warm late-summer sunshine. “We waited for the next step,” said Rain of her group’s

warn the community that a killer may be on the loose. That point was especially sharp for Trisha Baptie, who saw many of her friends in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside head off to Robert (Willie) Pickton’s farm in Port Coquitlam and never come back. Pickton was convicted in 2007 of the second-degree murder of six women, and charges in the deaths of 20 others were stayed. Many of those women were prostitutes. The irony that she was standing only blocks away from the courthouse where Pickton was tried and convicted wasn’t lost on Baptie, who addressed the gathering in a quivering voice. “We’re tired of being blamed for the violence being perpetrated against women,” said Baptie. She said had the public been warned after Lyons’ body was discovered on Aug. 12, the second victim might have been spared. “We feel it’s poor form to not let the public know after the first woman was killed,” said Baptie. “That perpetuates the violence against women.”

City says livability impact on Royal a concern ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

Henry-Smith said over the 20 years she’s lived near Royal, she’s become used to the constant background buzz of traffic, but the crashing of container and dump trucks as they pass over bumps in the road surface, and the grinding of gears as they speed up or slow down has become so bad recently she welcomed the construction that has closed two lanes of Royal

as a bit of a respite. “I’m so stressed, I’m just going crazy at my house,” said Henry-Smith, who’s sought refuge by taking her work to restaurants and coffee shops. The new Port Mann opened in December. Eugene Wat, the city’s manager of infrastructure planning, said traffic counters placed on Royal near the Pattullo have noted “a general 10 to 20 per cent increase in truck

traffic since last fall.” “We are watching it closely,” said Wat. “From the city’s point of view, the livability impact is a concern.” Another resident who lives in a heritage home on Royal said trucks regularly flout overnight restrictions. “Trucks constantly drive up and down Royal Avenue prior to the posted 7 a.m. signage,” said the resident in an email. “Honestly, how many

local businesses are receiving medical supplies from the same company at 6 a.m. to warrant four to six westbound trucks?” Wat said the city will keep an eye on the bylaw infractions. “I don’t doubt that truckers are trying to cheat and use Royal when they’re not supposed to,” said Wat. But a long-term solution will have to come from ongoing discussions the city is having with

TransLink, the city of Surrey and the Ministry of Transportation as part of the Pattullo Bridge review process, said Wat. “We have to analyze the complete picture,” he said. Henry-Smith said she’s started wearing earplugs and turning on her radio overnight to help mask the noise. “Your home should be your refuge.” newsroom@

Teachers shelling out for supplies ⫸

from FRONT PAGE

Osborne said while the final numbers are yet to be determined based on enrollment figures, teachers in the district are dealing with a budget for supplies that’s about 10 per cent of what they used to be able to spend. “Teachers are very concerned how to deliver quality teaching,” said Osborne. “No matter how you cut it, it’s going to be tough year.” Osborne said many teachers already spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each year on classroom supplies for their students, but that’s just a band-aid solution that masks the depth of the problem. “They’re frustrated,” said Osborne. “They’re caught between a rock and a hard place. If they continue to pay for supplies then the message doesn’t get through that we’re underfunded.” Osborne said his union is working with the school board and other partners, like parents and local businesses, to come up with a solution. But until that’s found, teachers are being judicious about how they dole out supplies. “When supplies are gone, they’re gone,” said Osborne.

Jutting out Jumbotrons rejected for Plaza 88 Proposal for digital signage turned down a second time Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

For the second time in less than a year New Westminster council has rejected a pitch for a jumbotron advertising sign outside Plaza 88. The new plan requested several

exemptions to the city’s sign bylaw, but council said no because little had changed from the initial proposal a year ago. Five Star Permits and Pattison Signs applied to install two full-motion digital signs, both 22 feet wide by nearly 16 feet high that would have a V-shape jutting out from the building over the sidewalk. Those

dimensions far exceed what the city bylaw allows. In 2012, they proposed one large sign for the side of the building to promote businesses in The Shops at New Westminster mall. That was rejected in December, because the light could affect hotel guests staying at the Inn at the Quay, directly across from

An application to put a large digital advertising sign jutting out from the Plaza 88 complex was rejected by New Westminster city council Monday.

the sign. There was also concern for a residential project in the development stages for the parking lot between the hotel and railway tracks. Despite the proposed angle change, council didn’t see it as an acceptable improvement. “Nothing changed with the application,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “For the light leakage, for the people who live very close to it, having this digital sign constantly shining on their building... [would not be good.]” Safety concerns and efficient movement for vehicle traffic were

also expressed in a staff report to council. It noted the sign would be visible for westbound traffic only to those stopped at the Front Street/Columbia intersection because the curve in the road would make it difficult to see from a further distance. While the sign may be visible for those coming from Stewardson Way “it should be noted that this portion of the road is challenging to navigate and requires the full attention of a driver,” said the report. “We question the safety of having full motion signage at this

location.” “That doesn’t line up. Literally, to see the sign you’ve got to look over your head,” said Harper. The report also pointed out Columbia Street is progressing as a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented area supported by transit while the signs are aimed at passing motorists without aiding pedestrians or enhancing their experience. Although the mall was sold to First Capital Realty in May 2012, Plaza 88 retained the right to put up digital signage with the space being sold to the

mall outlets. The staff report and council acknowledged the tenant signage needs to undergo a comprehensive review to figure out a way to increase its effectiveness for the businesses. The report said First Capital has expressed interested in participating in the review. Mayor Wayne Wright noted that he isn’t pleased with how the building’s facade has developed. “That front doesn’t seem to do enough for me. It’s just not what I would expect to be on that building.” twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

Pattullo solution could be decade away: Mayor

Produced by the Fraser River Discovery Centre

Presents:

But ‘something will get done’ says Wayne Wright Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

It may be a decade away but a solution to the problems an aging Pattullo Bridge are presenting will be found, says New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright. The mayor said the feedback results from consultation done by the bridge’s operator TransLink and the cities of New West and Surrey released earlier this week offered no surprises. He said it’s always been known Surrey wants to have as many lanes as possible to get to New West, while Royal City residents worry about the impact that would have on their streets. But that doesn’t mean the gridlock in positions won’t eventually be overcome, according to Wright. “At the end of the day we will land on something, and we will get something done, [but we may be] 10 years away from getting it done,” said Wright.

September 27 & 28

Westminster Quay Boardwalk Fri 4-9 pm Sat 11 am -6 pm

New Westminster residents surveyed favoured an option that would see the existing Pattullo Bridge rehabilitated to serve local needs, with a new span linking North Surrey to Coquitlam to handle regional traffic.

In the City Speaks Community Survey, most (62 per cent) favoured a new sixlane bridge. But Wright noted the results showed the most support from New West residents for a new bridge connecting North Surrey to Coquitlam in tandem with rehabilitating the Pattullo to carry two or three lanes of traffic instead of four. A total of 56 per cent of all respondents said this option merits further

exploration. He said although it might cost the most—the preliminary estimate is $1.4- to $1.5 billion, it’s a solution worth investigating further. “We’re not finished with that,” said Wright Tuesday. “The one to Coquitlam seems to make the most sense because you can connect to Highway 1 and keep the Pattullo for local traffic.”

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:

Chastising chanters The news about frosh chants at the University of B.C. and St. Mary’s University in Halifax has shone the light of publicity on some of the less-desirable aspects of campus life at many of Canada’s post-secondary institutions. The chants portray young women as sex objects and glorify violence against women. They are far more than the “school spirit” chants which student leaders say they are. While the respective student societies say they are disciplining the leaders of the specific organizations involved, this is not enough. University leaders and governments may have to become involved. University administrations have to start getting much tougher with student organizations, and demand far more accountability. This applies in the area of finances, elections, conflict of interest and, as highlighted in this case, initiation procedures. Provincial governments also have a role to play in this — something they have shied away from. These universities are under the control of provincial legislatures, and most of their operating funds come from taxpayers. It is appalling that institutions which are supposed to train young people to take their place as responsible adults allow such behaviour to take place. The fact that these frosh chants are supposed to be kept under wraps, and that participants are forced to take part in them, makes matters even worse. Universities are supposed to be places for free expression, not forced behaviour. Provincial Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and other provincial governments need to set strict guidelines for student societies, and immediately suspend those societies which do not comply with basic rules of responsible behaviour. —Langley Times/Black Press

Summer’s end - how to keep it going? As a kid, I recall watching my dad swimming, and floating on his back in the water. It was like this amazing magic trick. It seemed he could do it as long as he liked—just float there, gazing up at the sky. I’d try and try, but sink like a stone. On Labour Day, the last day of summer for many people, my wife and I were out with our boys at Crescent Beach. The day was hot so I had a swim. The water was deliciously warm, and I tried my dad’s trick again. Eventually, I let go—mastering the knack of trying not to try— and felt a fantastic sensation as my head went back and my hips rose to the surface, almost of their own accord. My envy of my dad’s magic trick was justified: it felt fantastic. I could have stayed for hours. A day later, my short holiday was over and I went back to work and all that entails. We ushered our oldest son to Grade 2 and the youngest into daycare. It was back to packing lunches, planning meals, and signing the kids up for activities, skirting

Chris Bryan that fine line between enough “exposure” to new things and driving us all bonkers with a jammed schedule. For many of us, the first week of September is a time of excitement about new activities and projects, but for me there’s trepidation about overscheduling life and resenting it later. As life gets busy, carefree downtime evaporates. This past summer was one of my most enjoyable in years. The glorious stretch of sun helped, as did visits with family. A good summer can give you that sensation of floating. Life just seems so much simpler, easier than the rest of the year. The future, if your mind wanders that way, seems a quaint, imaginary place over the horizon. And when you’re on a holiday

out of town, those feelings are magnified as you visit new places, enjoy the calm, the sun, the food, and wonder if it’s possible that life could always be thus. My wife and I gave the kids a break with their grandparents and spent the August long weekend in Montreal where we walked, cycled, meandered, and ate and drank our way around a city that seemed created for enjoying life. Residents seemed to spend their days migrating from café to bistro to bar. Patios were jammed. We also spent a little time in the Gulf Islands this summer, swimming, exploring, reading and skipping stones. Life was spent barefoot. It’s at times like this that people often muse about a “big change” in life. Could I live here? they ask. Sipping a bowl of coffee at 11 a.m. on a sidewalk patio I wondered: Wouldn’t it be great to live in Montreal all the time? How about Gulf Island living? Maybe buy a boat, a kayak? Learn to sculpt or paint? Write crime novels?

Browsing the local real estate listings is a common symptom of this state of mind. For most, it’s pure fantasy. A chance to briefly inhabit another life, if only in their mind. The rational, left brain is put into neutral. That’s the boring side that, when the time comes, is only too happy to remind us that our heads are in the clouds. That we’re seeing life through a summer lens, a time when life everywhere is different. Come back to Montreal in December, it sneers, when that sidewalk patio is buried under a freshly ploughed snow. And you think the Gulf Islands are peaceful now? Try January when it’s as quiet as the interior of an abandoned mine shaft. But hey, we all need to float a little sometimes. And when September returns, and we get back to our routines, many of us wish we could just float a little longer. Who knows? Maybe, like my dad’s trick, with a little practice, it just might be possible. twitter.com/chrismbryan

COMMENT

Where is Lancer opposition coming from? This year marks the 143rd New Westminster May Day celebrations. Because it is unique to New Westminster, May Day is a civic event that truly unites New Westminster citizenry of all ages, and past generations. From the day Coun. Chuck Puchmayr chose to question the traditional May Day dance of the Lancers, not a day goes by that someone doesn’t engage me in conversation to discuss the matter. Though Puchmayr felt the need to clarify that his quest to “modernize” the dance was “no disrespect” to either the Lancers or the tradition, the fact is that many residents are offended by his actions because of the insinuation that something untoward either has or could take place. With sarcasm, some have asked “What’s next? Will we stop children from sitting on Santa’s knee?” Having an awareness of the process and knowing the responsible chaperoning of the girls, and also knowing many of the Lancers (past and present), I can say that it is absurd to insinuate anything negative about this tradition. To those who have any gut-reaction objections to the Lancer dance and/or any question as to what exactly transpires up to the day of performance, I suggest they learn about it before they criticize it. Performed by mature gentlemen of notable community standing and the young girls elected annually to the May Day suite, the traditional Lancer dance is now in question for the upcoming May Day celebrations. City council’s motion about making changes to the dance was to schedule a discussion between members of council and the school board, and also include representation from the Lancers. Why was the May Day committee excluded from the discussion, or the girls (and families) who have performed the dance in years past? Are there not more urgent matters that deserve his attention like the fact that New West residents are so highly taxed compared to the rest of the province?

One letter writer posed the question “what is this really about?” Some of the people who have engaged me in discussion of the matter would answer that Puchmayr is earning the financial contributions made to his political campaign from unions, some members of which are highly vocal against May Day. I am puzzled as to why a long-standing, wholesome, community-building celebration like May Day would ever be the target of such negativity and I wonder what good would be achieved if it were to end. Perhaps, more to the point, folks ought to give more consideration to what would be lost if it were to end. If there are changes to be made, they ought to come about as a result of positive thinking and they ought to enhance the celebration without diminishing existing traditions, very much like the decision to incorporate the Royal Knights as part of the existing May Day Suite.

CTF DOESN’T REPRESENT US Re: Killing TransLink and regional vision (NewsLeader, Sept. 6) The Gordon Price column was a solid response to the negativism of Jordan Bateman, local propagandist for the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. Mr. Bateman has lifted his script from the U.S. Republican playbook: say nothing constructive; employ the term bureaucrat as a pejorative; bang on about uncontrolled costs, extravagance and stratospheric salaries, while insinuating that union members have their grasping fingers around the taxpayer’s windpipe. Oh, and I have almost neglected the charge that the supposed paladins of incompetence don’t give a toss about democracy. The federation claims to have a support base of 84,000. This, if true, means that Mr. Bateman and companions are demolition experts representing a minuscule sliver of the country’s 14 million-plus taxpayers earning more than $10,000 a year. Be warned, these people want

to drive the bus so that they can smash it up. Mark Wilson New Westminster

LET’S PIT WORKHORSE AGAINST THE CADILLAC Gordon Price and Jordan Bateman speak in generalities— “no new taxes” vs. “more tax for the greater good.” We’ve heard both themes before. Rhetorical absolutes are easy but what we need is a way to deal with the specifics. A referendum across the region could easily be decided by those who will benefit voting taxes onto those who won’t benefit. Instead, the mayors and selected council members should sit down with the province and make a comprehensive list of the next necessary extensions of transit with a focus on necessary. I believe this list includes the Evergreen Line (finally started), rail south of the river and then the UBC extension. The TransLink board and their resident experts should then cost out these options as accurately as possible and then decide how long they will take under the present budget. If any part of the region wants to upsize or fast-track their next extension, they should hold a city referendum on paying for the difference from their own local tax base. I used to ride the original 99 B-Line from Lougheed Town Centre to UBC. It took a little over 40 minutes and was just as nice as SkyTrain. And don’t forget, rubber wheels can run the day after an earthquake. Tunnels can cave and aerial guideways can fall down. Drivers on wheels can drive around the rubble. There are cheaper options than high-tech rail isolated by expensive tunnel or guideways. We should be saying to each other: “If you want a workhorse system, I’ll help pay for it. If you want a Cadillac, you pay for it.” Any referendum should have as a main option the cheapest possible method. Albert Melenius Burnaby

It’s a solution the City of Coquitlam might be amenable to as well. Mayor Richard Stewart said with the Brunette interchange on Highway 1 receiving the smallest makeover of any along the freeway during the current expansion a Surrey-Coquitlam bridge might be a way of freeing up regional connections in the traffic-troubled area. “It’s certainly worth considering, it’s an interesting concept,” Stewart told CKNW. TransLink has determined the Pattullo presents problems because the 76-year-old structure is deteriorating and the bridge’s tight lanes make safety an issue. Finding a way to pay for any of the six solutions recommended by the review team for further consideration is another matter since TransLink doesn’t have any money pegged for the project. Replacing the Pattullo with a four-, five- or six-lane structure could cost between $820 million and $1.18 billion while the cost to rehabilitate it is estimated at

The Canadian Football League scouting bureau has ranked former New Westminster Hyack linebacker Casey Chin 12th for the 2014 CFL Canadian draft. Chin is in his senior season at Simon Fraser University after graduating from New Westminster secondary and being one of the captains of head coach Farhan Lalji’s squad. The 12th place ranking would make him an early second-round pick. Chin is coming off a two-interception, 10-tackle performance in the Clan’s opening game of the season, an upset victory on the road against the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. He has led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in tackles the last two seasons. Another former Hyack, Tyler Digby, was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 CFL draft by the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. The tight end is currently finishing off his senior season at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh where he is also on the field lacrosse team.

Cities object to demands of new recycling bosses Mayors say unfair MMBC offer means higher costs or worse service Jeff Nagel Black Press

HOME GROWN

GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY STARTING AT ONLY

Cities across B.C. are crying foul over the rollout of a new recycling agency that the provincial government has put in charge of blue box pick up. And Metro Vancouver mayors want B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak to intervene to keep their curbside recycling programs from being thrown into chaos from the changes coming next year. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations. It has promised to let interested municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer. But the cities say the prices offered by MMBC are far too low to cover their costs and that other terms are unreasonable, starting with a take-it-or-leave-it signing deadline of Sept. 16. “I’ve never seen a contract come through as one-sided as what they’ve done with this,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “The idea you’re going to come in and replace our

The province is in the process of rolling out a new recycling agency that will oversee blue box in the region.

programs and take over recycling is out of line – most municipalities are really concerned about that.” Cities fear they’ll lose money if they continue providing the service their residents expect under the pricing structure MMBC has offered for recyclables. They can opt to decline a contract and MMBC will contract recycling pick up out as it sees fit, but mayors fear that may be at reduced service levels, with public anger directed to city hall. With those choices unappealing, many cities are expected to instead pick a third option for now that lets them keep running the blue box recycling system without compensation from MMBC. Keeping the status quo is less than ideal, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said, because the industries responsible, not cities, are supposed to

pay the costs to collect and recycle packaging under the government’s plan. Effectively, their residents will pay twice – once on their property taxes and again at stores because retailers will build their costs of supporting MMBC into prices. Both mayors predict many cities will reject the deal as offered now and demand action from provincial government ministers at next week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, which opens on the day of MMBC’s deadline. Prince George has already refused MMBC’s contract offer, as has Coquitlam, where Mayor Richard Stewart warned in a letter to Polak that “Coquitlam council is gravely concerned that no reputable collector would concede to these conditions and this would inevitably lead to an unacceptable degradation of the existing quality of service.” Please see system, A13

System would be fair: MMBC ⫸

from page a12

One objection is MMBC’s requirement that loads of recyclables contain no more than three per cent contamination of other materials. Several cities say their blue box pick up runs above that level of contamination, meaning MMBC can hit them with heavy fines of $5,000 per truckload. Port Coquitlam estimated that could add up to $3 million per year in their city, although MMBC says fines will be capped at $120,000. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon rejects claims the proposed contracts short-change cities on collection costs, adding programs in 23 cities were reviewed to determine fair pricing. “We think those costs, based on our research, provide for compensation for an efficient and effective system,” Langdon said. He said cities that don’t like how the system unfolds can terminate their contracts without penalty on six months notice, or opt for dispute resolution. Langdon defended the short notice for cities to sign up, saying timelines are tight to identify collectors and processors for a May 19 launch.

Sentenced for stolen property A New Westminster man who pleaded guilty to a series of stolen-property offences has been sentenced to two years in prison. Ivan Logan Johnson’s prison term will be followed by two years of probation. He was given credit for the one year he has already served in jail. Johnson, 33, was arrested with co-accused Dave Yaroslawsky, 31, of Surrey on March 2, 2012 after a standoff at the Super 8 Motel in Langley. The men were in possession of so many stolen items that

police had to create a slideshow on their website to allow the public to look though the items and determine what belonged to them. Police recovered everything from stolen jewelry, including lockets and rings, to coins, stolen ID and electronics. The police then held a day where victims of break-ins could come to the detachment and view the property. The items had been stolen mainly from homes in Abbotsford, Surrey, Langley, Hope and Chilliwack.

Douglas needs your input

Yaroslawsky has pleaded guilty to 32 charges – mainly for stolen property – and is scheduled for sentencing in November. During his sentencing hearing on July 31, the court heard that he had accumulated so many stolen items that he had rented a storage locker in Aldergrove to stash it. Numerous items were also found in his vehicle at the Super 8 Motel, as well as in his motel room. He claimed that he was a “fence” for the stolen property and was not involved in the break-ins.

Jay Zimmerman and Trevor Tougas put out fires for a living. Now they’re setting female hearts ablaze as featured firefighters in the new Hall of Flame calendar that raises funds for various organizations like the CKNW Orphans Fund and the Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society. Zimmerman, 25, and Tougas, 26, are rookies with the New Westminster fire department. And they readily admit that doffing their turnout gear to pose for the calendar was like jumping into the deep end of firefighters’ community service work. Especially when they were parading in front of 300 women at a Kitsilano pub who got to make the final vote on the 13 firefighters from departments around Metro Vancouver who’d

Both men responded to a poster seeking volunteers for the calendar. They’d heard talk of it around the halls and knew some of their fellow firefighters had appeared in previous editions. After all, it’s been around 26 years and raised $1 million. “You kind of know what you’re getting into,” said Zimmerman, who appears in the calendar as Mr. January. To prepare for their photo shoots both men intensified their workouts in the gym to ensure they looked their best. But nothing could prepare Tougas for the very public

12th, Sapperton included in holiday lighting McIntosh would have preferred same amount for all Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The city will spread its holiday decorative lighting money around to New Westminster’s four business districts. After getting proposals from the Uptown and Downtown business associations to split the costs of their plans to light up their commercial districts this December, council decided to look at whether it should include the West End (12th Street) and Sapperton business associations in their holiday lighting cheer. On Monday, council approved a staff recommendation

to allocate between $3,000 and $5,000 to each of the four business associations. The decision to ask the other two associations came at the urging of Coun. Betty McIntosh at council’s Aug. 26 meeting. “It appears both business areas want to do that. I’m glad we consulted with them,” said McIntosh on Tuesday. “It makes it more equitable, and it’s not just Uptown getting some sort of Christmas decorations.” She wasn’t totally happy, though. McIntosh would have preferred council decide on a specific amount because allowing a range of $2,000 leaves wriggle room for an unequal

Why would you say this district can have only $3,000 and another district have $5,000?” said McIntosh. “You should have the same amount for each district.” McIntosh added restricting it to the four associations could also be unfair to other areas. She cited the Ewen Street commercial district in Queensborough as a possible place for decorative holiday lighting. Although the plan is

to split the costs 50-50, Uptown’s budget for pole-mounted lights is $11,500 plus tax with the city’s portion being $5,000 plus tax. Downtown will

interested in similar arrangements, McIntosh admitted it might be too late for this year’s holiday season. twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

Dancer influenced by Brazilian style ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

When Farley Johansson was a little tyke he would get bored hanging around during his older sisterâ€™s dance classes. Heâ€™d get himself into trouble by doing things like climbing into dryers, so at the age of three they added ballet to his soccer and hockey activities. One day his father saw an audition notice for the Royal City Youth Ballet Companyâ€™s production of The Nutcracker. When he went to register, a woman came running down the line and grabbed Johansson by the collar. His appearance had apparently caused quite a stir amongst the balletâ€™s organizers. â€œIn dance guys are often few and far between,â€? says Johansson. It was the start of a lengthy relationship with RCYB and with New Westminsterâ€™s Kirkwood Dance Academy, which he has parlayed into a successful dance career not only in Canada but in New Zealand, Australia and

JOAO MEIRELLES/CONTRIBUTED

Farley Johansson has spent time in Brazil learning Capoeira, a martial arts influenced style, which has influenced his dance performances.

â€œEven at the time I was able to step back and look at the balance I had in my life,â€? says Johansson. After high school he studied at the New Zealand School of Dance. One year during the New Zealand dance festival, he was assigned to be a gopher for a Brazilian company specializing in Capoeira, a martial artsinfluenced style with lots of percussion.

â€œI was just totally humbled watching these little Brazilian guys whirling around the stage. Iâ€™d never seen such strength and flexibility. Itâ€™s an amazing form, and it translates very well to contemporary dance.â€? He went to Brazil four times to learn about it, and has incorporated it into his choreography and taken it all over the world. After New Zealand,

he was based in Germany for four years, but he and his wife, dancer Shannon Moreno, decided to return to their roots to raise a family. In amongst bringing up Mattias, 2, and three-monthold Edward, they run a dance company called Science Friction. The plan is to put the boys in all sorts of music, dance and sports and let them choose what they want to do. â€œI was encouraged and supported with dance but never forced into it. It was always up to me. Weâ€™ll see what theyâ€™re into. Matty has good hand-eye coordination, heâ€™s surprisingly good with a hockey stick.â€? Maybe in a few years heâ€™ll be auditioning for The Nutcracker, too. â€˘ Johansson will perform a five to seven minute dance as part of Dances for a Small Stage 29. It runs Thursday to Saturday at the Ukrainian Centre on East 10th Avenue at Main Street in Vancouver. Tickets are available at small-stage.eventbrite.ca or at the door. Info: www.movent.ca.

Europe with a Brazilian flavour. This week, heâ€™ll be performing his own work at Dances for a Small Stage 29 in Vancouver. From 1993 to 1998, Johansson would go to school in the morning and train with Kirkwood every afternoon. â€œItâ€™s such a good vehicle for dancers to gain experience,â€? says the 34-year-old Johansson of his RCYB and Kirkwood Academy days. Instructor Li Ya Ming showed Johansson how to work with a partner and how to lift her. â€œHe was a tremendous impact on my dance career because I trained with him for five years through a formative time,â€? says Johansson. He had returned to Canada from New Zealand, where heâ€™d moved with his mother after his parents split, to live with his father who worked for the Surrey parks department. The home environment was testosteronedriven, with plenty of chainsaws and pickup trucks. But heâ€™d cross the bridge to New West to a different world where he would strap on tights and jump around with a bunch of girls in leotards.

Waterside living in Yaletown with Pacific Point By Kerry Vital

Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. “Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s

value assurance backing the project,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Bosa Development. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing. “It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450

to 1,680 square feet. The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, a contemporary 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 CONTINUED INSIDE

There is no shortage of things to do in Vancouver, from shopping on Robson Street, above, or Main Street, bottom right, cycling on the Stanley Park SeaWall, top right, or going for a swim in the pool at Kitsilano Beach, middle right.

Vancouver tops for living and playing By Kerry Vital

Vancouver was recently voted as one of the top three most livable cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With tons of amazing restaurants, gorgeous scenery, plenty of opportunities for shopping and beautiful homes, Vancouver truly has everything you can possibly imagine. One of Vancouver’s most well-known landmarks is Stanley Park, the 400-hectare park that recently celebrated its 125th birthday and has been designated a national historic site. With it’s nearly nine kilometres

of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.

Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.
