As part of the deal reached between SRY and the City of New Westminster in January, several level crossings are being upgraded so that whistling won’t be required.

Noise and locomotive vibration has been an issue in New West for several years, particularly in Quayside where residents Brian Allen and James Crosty have led a court battle with the major railways.

The City of New Westminster committed to city-wide whistle cessation in 2011, and is poised to make major progress in that regard.

In 2012, the city established a railway advisory committee, chaired by city Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, to address noise and related concerns.

At Port Royal earlier this month, a small work crew was installing railings called “maze barriers” on either side of the rail line where a path crosses between the community garden and the sidewalk.

The barriers would force a cyclist, skateboarder, or running child to slow down and ideally look both ways before crossing the tracks.

The mood on the picket line was buoyant to begin with but a loud cheer erupted and horns honked when their leader showed up.

New Westminster was one of 17 school districts hit on the first day of rotating strikes by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on Monday.

BCTF president Jim Iker showed up in the morning at New Westminster secondary to hold a press conference and talk to the school’s teachers as they walked the perimeter.

Iker attacked the province’s recent limited lockout strategy. It shortens the teachers’ work day, including prohibiting them from helping students during recess or lunch.

“The lockout has created a lot of chaos and confusion, not only with our teachers but our students and our parents,” said Iker.

“The government has done this with the sole purpose of trying to dock us 10 per cent in pay.”

Iker added the union will contest the province’s ability to make such a move with the Labour Relations Board on Thursday. see LOCKOUT, A3

Dogs cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws; if they are in a vehicle that is too hot, they are unable to do either of these as the air and the upholstery their paws are touching are too hot. Even a vehicle parked in the shade with the windows open is not sufficiently cool.

COUNCIL MEETINGS

There are many dogs every year that suffer heat stroke/heat exhaustion, or even death, due to the neglect of some dog owners who do not understand how severely a vehicle can heat up - even in a short period of time. For instance, when it is 25 degrees outside, the inside of the vehicle can heat up to 20 degrees hotter – that’s a scalding 45 degrees! Clearly, this would be a serious risk to a dog trapped inside.

NWSS ‘wear and tear’ worst in B.C.

NDP education critic calls for province to approve funds for new high school Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

NDP education critic Rob Fleming has seen a lot of schools across B.C. But none quite like New Westminster secondary.

Fleming and local MLA Judy Darcy toured the aging school Thursday.

It’s scheduled to be replaced but has yet to get final approval from the Ministry of Education.

What Fleming saw was paint peelings all over the grounds.

Faded and pock-marked linoleum original to the school in the halls.

Patches on floors and doors. A roof that needs replacing. Holes and exposed wiring everywhere.

District facility and operations manager Doug Templeton told them “all the systems in this building have failed or are in the process of failing.” A seismic upgrade, he added, would be more expensive than building a new school.

“In spite of its deficiencies there is some great, great teaching going on here. But this is clearly a building that needs replacing,” said Fleming after the tour conducted by principal Phil Cookson. “In all my travels I have not seen a school quite like this in terms of age and wear and tear.”

District officials recently met with Education Minister Peter Fassbender to make a pitch for a new school. A replacement was approved in 2005 but abandoned because of complex and costly archeological and soil issues. The costs of dealing with them are beyond the capital funding the province normally provides for a school to house 1,900 students.

“The reality is every project has very site specific issues, whether they’re archeological, or geotechnical. Various parts of this site have both,” said Fleming.

“Both of those things have to be managed and accommodated.”

He added the delays have “been going on for far too long.”

A replacement school is needed for the next 60 years to bring its students into the 21st century, he said.

GRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADER

NWSS principal Phil Cookson tells New West MLA Judy Darcy and NDP education critic Rob Fleming about issues at the aging school during a tour Thursday.

Darcy has heard the grumblings from her constituents ever since she began campaigning more than a year ago.

“I don’t understand what the delay is about. The case is clear,” said Darcy. “It is an amazing centre of learning, but what kind of step forward we could take for those kids if we had a new space.

The students deserve a better place to learn in.”

Templeton said the 2005 plans were suspended by the ministry when bids came in $20 million over budget. That created new problems because the district had been proactive to make the site easier to build on, such as demolishing the district offices.

“They tore down the office so a new design would fit,” said Templeton. But with the project a no go, the district had to keep paying $700,000 a year to lease offices in Columbia Square.

Temporary facilities had to be built to keep programs running.

The apprenticeship program is in a building cobbled out of two transport containers and a used canopy.

Cookson spent much of the tour praising the school’s staff and programs in spite of the conditions.

“We’re in the business of making things work. The staff don’t complain. They gave that up years ago. They never talk about what a new school would look like. We just make the best of it,” said Cookson.

When it was suggested that may be an argument against replacement board chair Jonina Campbell said, “We can do even more and better with a new school.”

Campbell believes Fassbender would have a similar reaction to Fleming if he accepted her invitation to tour NWSS.

Lockout won’t affect grad-related events: Gaiptman ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

The two sides were expected to be back at the bargaining table Monday afternoon.

“We need to talk about it in a meaningful way that will move us forward,” said Iker.

New Westminster Teachers’ Union president Grant Osborne said his members are strong in their resolve.

“Nobody wants to be doing this, but we’re very upbeat. They know why we’re here,” said Osborne.

He added it’s difficult to say how his members would react if more rotating strikes are required.

“Nobody wants to see any escalation.”

The province’s “It’s been too quiet. I’d latest move will hurt much rather be talking students because their to you about the exciting opportunities to get help things that are happening from teachers will be at our schools,” said limited, said Osborne.

Gaiptman said the lockout won’t affect NWSS’s graduation ceremonies June 26 or the grad dinner and dance the next night because they’re volunteer activities. That also applies to provincial sport championships this week.

“We’re going to make sure to the best of our ability that things carry on in a regular way, but it’s an individual’s choice about whether or not a teacher wants to participate,” said Gaiptman.

New Westminster joined Vancouver as the only districts in Metro Vancouver on the picket line Monday. The rotating strikes will hit Burnaby on Thursday, the final day of the first round.

Council slashed its funding

to Hyack drastically in light of its handling of the dismissal of executive director Douglas Smith last year. The association asked the city for a $185,000 grant and $30,000 of in-kind services this year. But council gave only $15,000 and in-kind services for the Hyack parade, and $10,000 toward Canada Day fireworks.

He noted most of city council was at Saturday’s activities. In his opinion, they saw a group of volunteers that can do the job and will continue to do so in the future.

OPINION

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

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Use their heads

LAST WEEK:

The provincial government is playing hardball with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

While teachers might have some of their pay cut, it will be students who will be missing out.

On Monday the teachers’ union began a series of rotating strikes across the province.

That followed the rejection of an offer from the province to give teachers a 6.5 per cent increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus to all 41,000 of them.

The province also threatened to cut teacher salaries by five per cent if they didn’t sign it by the end of the school year.

Teachers have asked for a 21.5 per cent total increase over four years.

On Thursday, the Liberal government announced a partial lockout – a stop-work order, taking effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks, as well as a 10 per cent cut in teacher salaries.

They won’t get paid for not working.

The year-end lockout may disrupt issuing of report cards and marking of provincial exams for graduating students.

Graduation ceremonies could also be cancelled.

Some parents and students will be upset by all this, but it should never have gone so far.

The Liberals and BCTF have been in a spat over class sizes and composition since the NDP’s epic collapse in the 2001 provincial election.

Rather than putting parents and students in the middle, again why not bring in a mediator to help resolve what the two sides have been unable to do for 13 years.

Both sides need to use their brains and agree to commonsense, affordable solutions and get back to educating the current generation.

Spare us the drama.

Southern Railway will also adjust the speed limit of their trains there, to ensure there’s enough time to stop should anyone get stuck on the tracks.

And they’ll notify neighbours that a warning whistle will no longer be blown. All this must be done to satisfy WorkSafeBC. SRY and the city will each contribute $500,000 for the whistle cessation project, which will include other crossings in Queensborough and on the New Westminster mainland.

But that’s not all.

In a separate deal reached with BNSF, CN and CP, the crossing at Begbie Street and Quayside Drive is also on its way toward signalization, which may be met with noisy celebration by residents of the InterUrban building next door. That arrangement will also address the crossing on Front Street at the east end of the parkade.

As part of the arrangement, though, the city will assume responsibility for upgraded crossings, by creating a bylaw and underwriting the crossings.

“It’s not hugely onerous, but we’ll have to hold liability on those crossings,” Puchmayr said.

“The railways don’t.”

Meantime, Biln said the “quick wins” for SRY are the crossings in Queensborough, and at 20th Street and River Drive, just across the bridge. They will be done soon. The River Drive

crossing, which provides vehicle access to the Fraser River Pile & Dredge facilities, will be closed at night with a gate.

Quayside Drive, where the rail line slices at an angle at Laguna Court before heading over the rail bridge to Port Royal, is a high priority fix, Biln said.

It will require expensive signalization, but the plan is to have this done by the end of the year.

Back in Queensborough, other changes to level crossings will include installation of signal arms at each of the crossings

along Ewen Avenue at Furness, Mercer and Stanley streets. The final crossing at Salter Street and Derwent Avenue hasn’t been discussed yet, Biln said, adding they haven’t received any complaints in that area.

Puchmayr has heard from residents in Sapperton wondering when whistle cessation will come to their neighbourhood.

He said the plan has been to focus on the densely populated areas of Quayside and Downtown first, then move onto the rest of the city.

“Eventually, within the next couple of years, there will be no whistling on any major thoroughfares. The only whistling would be if someone was on the track.”

Some people may find it hard to imagine life in New Westminster with no routine train whistles.

Puchmayr said it’s time to start believing.

“I would say it will be less than three years.”

COMMENT

Developers not catering to local clientele Re: Seeking the elusive third bedroom in New West (Guest Column, NewsLeader, May 23) I live in lower New West.

Let’s be honest now.

Developers are building 1-2 bedrooms on purpose. The overseas Asian money is buying the majority of the condos and townhouses up for investment.

I live right next to the red new tower that is almost ready to open on Columbia Street.

I went through the open house last week. The realtor was being honest and said 90 per cent of the building has been bought by foreign Asian money.

What about all the new towers by the New West station?

Majority Asian owners.

Most people born locally don’t want to raise a family in a condo. So they’re moving to Maple Ridge, Langley, etc. where they can afford a house.

Trevor Morgan •••••

Fair is Fair?

The BC Liberals have no class at all when it comes to bullying tactics towards teachers.

The Campbell/Clark dynasty has been withholding proper funding for health and education services in B.C. to spend on their own corporate buddies for years.

So if wage rollbacks are their bargaining strategy, then perhaps we should have a referendum to see if MLA salaries, perks, and generous pension benefits should be reduced 5 or 10 per cent in our slow B.C. economy.

I’m glad three of the four Queensborough street crossings will be whistle-free soon, but for the record, complaints have indeed been made about the noise caused by whistling, idling, going back and forth at the Derwent/Salter crossing.

And it is definitely disruptive at night for residents in the area.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Although they were successful this year, Goodwin isn’t as optimistic for the future unless the city restores its funding to Hyack.

“We pitched in and showed we can do the job and do it well. But eventually it depletes our resources, and we can’t do that continuously,” said Goodwin.

If the city doesn’t come through, finding independent sources of funding can be “tricky,” said

Sculptors Edwin Dam and Veronica de Nogales Leprevost work on early stages of the Wait for Me, Daddy sculpture in their Barcelona studio at the end of March.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Iconic sculpture taking shape Sculptors Edwin Dam and Veronica de Nogales Leprevost are hard at work in their Barcelona, Spain studio translating the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photo into three dimensions.

The couple was commissioned by the City of New Westminster to create the sculpture for installation in Hyack Square this fall.

The 1940 photo by Province photographer Claude P.

Dettloff captured a unique moment. It shows soldiers marching down Eighth Street and captured a young boy— Warren “Whitey” Bernard— breaking free of his mother’s grip and reaching for his father’s outstretched hand.

Whitey Bernard will unveil the sculpture at a public unveiling on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014 at Hyack Square, near the exact spot where Dettloff captured this timeless moment.

Follow Samantha Gurney’s fitness progress and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society!

At the Anvil Centre across the street, the New Westminster Museum and Archives will launch the Wait for Me Daddy Exhibit using the photo as an entry point to a discussion bridging past and present experiences surrounding war and its effect on Canada’s diverse communities.

BUSINESS IN NEW WEST ____________________ presented by

NEW WESTMINSTER ECONOMIC FORUM RETURNS ____________________ In 2012, the City of New Westminster and the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce got together to host an inaugural Economic Forum in this city.

The goal was to discuss the competitive advantages the Royal City has to offer as it strikes out on a resurgence. The sold-out event generated a huge amount of buzz, and by all accounts, delivered the goods.

It brought together more than 250 business leaders from across the region to network and hear about all the things that make New West a great place to do business and invest.

And this October, the Economic Forum will return—this time to be hosted in the conference space at the new Anvil Centre at Eighth and Columbia streets.

This year’s event on Oct. 2 will explore the present and future growth of New West and highlight potential opportunities for business and investment.

years,” says forum co-chair Gary Pooni of Brook Pooni Associates. “A lot has happened in the city recently, and we can’t wait to hear from industry leaders telling us how New West will continue to thrive in the local and regional economy.”

Pooni, who grew up in New West, is joined by Coun. Bill Harper in chairing the event. This year’s forum will also feature Colin Bosa of Bosa Properties Inc. and Dale Bosa of BlueSky Properties as the day’s Keynote Speakers.

The brothers will share their experiences, development history, and speak to the opportunities that they see in New Westminster.

Back by popular demand, Andrew Ramlo of Urban Futures will present original research that provides key insights on the economic and demographic trends in the Metro Vancouver region.

And shaking his head at how uninformed many tourists could be about the length and breadth of Canada.

On that auspicious day of the quintuplets’ birth, May 28, 1934, my husband’s mother was in the maternity ward of the Vancouver General Hospital about to give birth to his baby sister Bonnie Benson. The father-to-be was working at the Owl Drugstore in Vancouver, anxiously awaiting a phone call from the family doctor when a man burst into the pharmacy shouting, “Did you hear? Some woman just gave birth to five babies! Quintuplets! And they all lived!”

Ralph Benson, my future father-in -law admitted to me years later that his heart jumped. A later phone call assured him that he was the father of ONE baby girl—not five!

Evelyn Benson is a New West resident and recently published A Century in a Small Town - One Family’s Stories which is available at amazon.com.

BUSINESS IN NEW WEST ____________________ presented by

NEW WESTMINSTER ECONOMIC FORUM RETURNS ____________________ In 2012, the City of New Westminster and the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce got together to host an inaugural Economic Forum in this city.

The goal was to discuss the competitive advantages the Royal City has to offer as it strikes out on a resurgence. The sold-out event generated a huge amount of buzz, and by all accounts, delivered the goods.

It brought together more than 250 business leaders from across the region to network and hear about all the things that make New West a great place to do business and invest.

And this October, the Economic Forum will return—this time to be hosted in the conference space at the new Anvil Centre at Eighth and Columbia streets.

This year’s event on Oct. 2 will explore the present and future growth of New West and highlight potential opportunities for business and investment.

“Our first economic forum was a huge success, and laid the foundation for economic investment in New West over the last two

years,” says forum co-chair Gary Pooni of Brook Pooni Associates. “A lot has happened in the city recently, and we can’t wait to hear from industry leaders telling us how New West will continue to thrive in the local and regional economy.”

Pooni, who grew up in New West, is joined by Coun. Bill Harper in chairing the event. This year’s forum will also feature Colin Bosa of Bosa Properties Inc. and Dale Bosa of BlueSky Properties as the day’s Keynote Speakers.

The brothers will share their experiences, development history, and speak to the opportunities that they see in New Westminster.

Fassbender also rejected the union’s claim that teachers doing volunteer work are not covered for work-related injury.

F MILY F MILY & P& RENTING P RENTING Eight fun ways to be a fit family Obesity is a global epidemic affecting people of all ages.

Statistics Canada notes about 25 percent of Canadians are obese. Being overweight or obese has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer, and children who are overweight are likely to be overweight or obese adults.

While eating a diet that is low in fat and high in whole-grain fiber, vegetables and lean proteins is important, exercise remains one of the key factors in maintaining a healthy weight. But many adults and children simply do not get enough exercise during the day.

Here are eight ways families can work together to incorporate more exercise into their daily lives.

Tackle chores

Yes, tasks around the house can count as exercise. Working together not only gets you moving but also cuts down on the time it takes to tackle tasks around the house. Mowing the lawn, vacuuming the rugs, sweeping the

together. Young children can be strapped into trailers that are pulled behind the bike or ride in seats attached to the bike itself.

This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and hone their cycling skills.

floor—all of these activities can get the heart pumping. Make it fun by setting chores to music or competing against one another to see who gets their task done first or the best. compeTe in The pool

go hiking

Swimming is a low-impact activity that works many muscles in the body. Taking a dip in the pool can be both relaxing and beneficial to your health.

Compete with family members to make the most of the time spent in the water. plan an acTive vacaTion

Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside?

Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring.

Hiking is another fun family activity that also happens to make for great exercise. Choose a trail that may not be level and push everyone’s endurance to the test. sTroll The beach Family bike rides are a great way to get outdoors, have fun and get exercise.

Teach kids To garden

Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be

directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locallyproduced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. go for family bicycle rides

Traverse your neighborhood or blaze new trails by riding bikes

Walking or running on sand offers more resistance than walking on pavement. Take a stroll at the seaside. Break up the walk by collecting shells or stopping by the water to observe marine wildlife. hiT The dance floor

If you’ve been invited to a wedding or a Sweet 16 party, cut a rug and take advantage of the DJ and dance floor. When enjoying yourselves, you won’t realize how much you’re exercising.

Choosing the right RESP When saving for your child’s education, it’s worthwhile considering setting up a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), which helps you save and also gets you access to the Canada Education Savings Grant of up to $7,200.

Who can open an ReSp?

Anyone—parents, grandparents, other family members and friends—can open an RESP for a child. RESPs can be opened by one person, or opened jointly by spouses or common-law partners. They can also be opened by child-care agencies. Individuals can also open an RESP for their own use.

Selecting the Right ReSp

It is very important to choose the right type of RESP. Your financial institution can help you. You can open an RESP at a bank, a credit union, a mutual fund company, an investment dealer, or a group plan dealer.

thRee typeS of planS:

1. family plan A family plan is ideal if you have more than one child.

You can name one or more children to receive the savings when it’s time to pay for their studies after high school.

The advantage of a family plan is that earnings can be shared among the children, and the Canada Education Savings Grant may be used by any beneficiary named in the RESP, to a maximum of $7,200.

2. individual plan This type of plan is ideal if you are not related to the child you are saving for. In this type of plan, only one beneficiary is named in the RESP, and the beneficiary doesn’t have to be related to you.

3. group plan A group plan is for one child only, and the child does not have to be related to you.

A group plan is ideal if you

can make regular payments throughout the term of the RESP. In this type of plan, your savings are combined with those of other people. How much each child gets depends on how much money is in the group account, and on the number of students of the same age who are in school that year.

These plans are provided by group plan dealers, who usually invest the money in low-risk investments. Each group plan is different and has its own rules. As you would with any investment, be sure to read the plan rules carefully. opening an ReSp

Follow these two easy steps: 1. Get a Social Insurance Number (SIN) for your child.

2. Choose an RESP provider that suits your needs. Most financial institutions do RESPs. For more details about RESPs, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

Thousands of spectators lined the route, which wound its way from Uptown at Eighth Avenue and Sixth Street, along Queen’s Avenue to Queen’s Park. From top, lining up in proper rank seems to take its toll on a member of the Navy League Cadet Corps prior to the start of the parade.

CONNELL

GERALD (Gerry) July 11, 1937 - May 14, 2014

It is with mixed emotions that the family of Gerald Connell announces his passing on May 14, 2014. He will be greatly missed, but his suffering has come to an end.

Gerald Randall Connell was born July 11, 1937 in Rose Valley, Sask. The family moved many times eventually landing in New Westminster, BC. He spent many years as a Millwright at Scott Paper, where he made many good friends. In the most recent years, he lived in 100 Mile House. He passed peacefully in the home that he helped construct – one visited by many over the years.

Gerald is survived by his children: Randy (Beth) Connell, Rhonda (Darrell) Slobodin, Dean Stevens, Tamara Connell, Jay Connell (Kristy), Joe Connell (Sheri).

Grandchildren: Justin, Melissa, Kevin, Christopher, and Wyatt. Great Grandchildren: Locklan, Caleb and Mckenzie. Sisters: Shirley, Joy, Gay, Sandra, and Karen (Hardie). He also leaves to cherish his memory numerous nieces and nephews as well as many friends who were family to him. Gerald was predeceased by his parents, Harvey and Ida Connell, and sister Judith.

He enjoyed life in many ways whether hunting, fishing, horse racing, poker, working on his farm or simply hanging out at home. He enjoyed the laughter and camaraderie of visitors in his home, always up to a game of crib, wist or poker. He enjoyed sharing the tales of the many experiences of his life. Other than his children, the three greatest loves of his life were his mother, who was his greatest cheerleader, his Aunty Merle who was the spitfire who helped keep him in line, and his ‘56 Ford Station Wagon which,he says, never let him down. He had a strong opinion on many a subject and was known to be a tad bit stubborn, but so loved by all.

Wherever you should be Dad, we want you to know that we love you and your presence in our lives will live on in our hearts!

A memorial service will held in 100 Mile House. Date and time to be determined.

100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of 100milefuneralservice@gmail.com
