Could shuttle link Downtown to Uptown?

Master Transportation Plan floats concept of free service between two busy neighbourhoods Grant Granger

A little tidbit in New Westminster’s draft Master Transportation Plan of a Downtown-Uptown shuttle has piqued community interest.

But it still has a hill to climb as steep as the slope it would traverse before it becomes reality.

The draft plan went before “At the moment they’re sort council last week and is being of ideas we want people to think shared at open houses this week. about,” said Behl.

That’s why they need to be consulted, said Behl. “We don’t want to interfere with how they work.”

But many residents may be deterred from paying $5.50 for a round trip or from walking the steep grade. That’s why Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association executive director Kendra Johnston thinks the shuttle is an idea worth exploring.

Replacement of the Brunette River Bailey bridge begins Monday.

The one-lane bridge has been closed to vehicular traffic since March after structural testing showed it needed to be replaced.

It has remained open to cyclists and pedestrians but will be closed to all traffic starting Monday.

It is expected to remain closed until July 23.

The new bridge is being pieced together from components found locally and shipped from the Ontario-based manufacturer.

According to the city, the replacement and its installation will cost New Westminster $175,000. It had hoped the province would provide a bridge for free, but Transportation Minister Todd Stone told New West it would do so only if the city was willing to have another one installed beside it to create two lanes for traffic. The city declined that offer maintaining it would add traffic to New Westminster’s already congested streets, especially around the Braid Street and Brunette Avenue intersection.

The bridge connects New West to Coquitlam, which wants two lanes.

An arbitrator is due to make a binding ruling on the dispute between the two cities in July. ggranger@ newwestnewsleader.com

Ola’s excellent adventure

Shuttle ⫸

NWSS student named one of Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Ola Lemanowicz laughs as she remembers getting her vaccinations as she began kindergarten at Sir Richard McBride elementary.

The nurse told Ola’s mom, Ewa, to hold her daughter down while she got the needle.

“That won’t be necessary,” Ewa told the nurse confidently.

“It will be,” the nurse replied with equal confidence.

But when the needle was stuck in Ola’s arm she just stared at it in wonderment. There was no wailing or crying.

“What … what’s going on?” said the shocked nurse.

“It was pretty funny,” recalls the now 18-year-old Lemanowicz of one of her first memories of the health care system. “Ever since then I’ve been fascinated by it.”

Lemanowicz’s fascination with medicine has led the Youth in Motion organization to name her one of Canada’s Top 20 Under 20.

She received the award in Toronto earlier this month. The awards recognize young people across the country for their exceptional leadership, innovation and achievement..

By the time she reached New Westminster secondary, Lemanowicz knew she wanted a career in medicine. She even did an internship with the Rare Genomics Institute, helping to create a database of more than 300 diseases.

Lemanowicz was sure of her future path. Many of her friends weren’t. Some considered medicine but were uncertain what it would take, and felt there wasn’t much information available.

Sure there were television shows like Grey’s Anatomy or House depicting medical students. But that was fiction, not reality.

“There are a lot of

Ola Lemanowicz has been organizing conferences to help students decide if medicine is the right career fit. The conferences have been held in Toronto and Vancouver, and could soon add other cities.

misconceptions about medicine,” says Lemanowicz, a five-foot-two bundle of energy. “I’d been going to medical conferences since I was 15. I wanted to get involved. I find that generally I heard about how parents had pushed their children into careers and medicine is one of those things that they’re pushed into.”

Two years ago, Lemanowicz began organizing a conference to help students decide if medicine was the career for them.

She called it Operation Med School.

She lined up medical professionals, medical students and aspiring doctors to give high school students the low down.

The first conference was last year at Simon Fraser University’s Downtown Vancouver campus attracting almost 200 students.

This year they’ve added one in Toronto.

“I was driven. I was persistent to make it happen,” says Lemanowicz as she sits in the NWSS International Baccalaureate (IB)

lab that was her second home throughout high school. “[The conference] was just so impactful.

“Students will spend most of their lives with their careers. If they’re not passionate about their careers then why pursue them?

Students need more of a personal connection with their career path.”

Lemanowicz recruited teams to help organize the conferences. The Vancouver team had two of her NWSS IB classmates leading the way—Lily Nikolova as president and Ellelan Degife as corporate relations director.

This year’s conferences attracted 160 in Vancouver and 100 in Toronto. Expansion to Ottawa, Montreal and possibly Calgary is on the horizon. Conference proceeds went to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Her brother Lucas, 24, encouraged her to apply for the Youth in Motion award. She was surprised just to be considered for the Top 20.

“I really didn’t think it would get

any further,” says Lemanowicz.

But then she was off to Toronto.

“It was phenomenal. One of the best parts was simply getting to know the other students,” she says.

“We were chatting and playing games late into the night. I made 19 new best friends. They’re doing really amazing things in each of their [own areas], mostly nonprofits or sciences.”

As an IB student, Lemanowicz completed all her exams before the teachers’ rotating and permanent strikes began.

She’ll walk across the stage at Queen’s Park Arena to receive her degree Thursday.

Then she’ll spend the summer preparing to move to Kingston, Ont., to start undergraduate studies at Queen’s University.

For her medical degree she hopes to attend UBC or a prestigious American med school like Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

When she sees a surgeon cutting someone open for the first time, it’s a good bet she won’t flinch.

“Initially it feels it would be a positive thing, but my board hasn’t been able to give me feedback on that,” said Johnston.

“I live in Downtown New West and I walk that hill all the time but a lot of people don’t or can’t.”

Like Johnston, Uptown Business Association president Bart Slotman hasn’t had a chance to talk it over with his members.

He said it isn’t a new idea, but his initial reaction is positive.

“That’s great, let’s have a discussion.”

Slotman supports New West residents being able to move about their city easily.

For example, he said, congestion caused by the Pattullo Bridge often inhibits Sapperton residents from shopping Downtown or Uptown, and vice versa.

“It’s really important to connect neighbourhoods within a city,” said Slotman.

Senior Services Society executive director KaraLeigh Bloch said a shuttle would be beneficial for seniors, especially since so many live in Uptown but frequently need to go Downtown.

“It sounds like a fabulous idea. In terms of who, how and what I don’t know,” said Bloch.

“It would be something we wouldn’t be able to fund but we would be in support of.”

An open house was scheduled for Century House on Tuesday afternoon. Another will be held at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, 318 Keary St., on Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m.

Some steps are magical.

Master plan for chunk of Queensborough Area next to Port Royal eyed for residential and commercial development Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

A master plan for a chunk of Queensborough next to Port Royal is in the works.

The plan began when Platform Properties developer Kyle Shury noticed the New Westminster school district put a triangular piece of land at Stanley and Duncan streets up for sale. He bid on it and got it.

Then he went to city hall and they’ve agreed to sell Platform 19 properties it owns nearby.

That will give Platform just under 10 acres in total. The city then created a special study area of 21 acres to develop a master plan for the land, with the company taking the lead.

“Between the two of those (Platform’s property and the city properties) we saw an opportunity to create a significant [community],” said Shury.

The area is bounded

by Ewen Avenue, Stanley Street, Duncan Street and Furness Street. Most of the land is currently zoned light industrial. Platform wants to turn it into a planned residential, commercial and retail mix. Shury had previously been part of putting together the Queensborough Landing shopping complex.

So he knew the community’s potential and liked a lot of the changes that have taken place, especially Port Royal. “They’re starting to see the benefits of all their hard work,” said Shury.

The city-owned properties include the animal shelter, the city’s impound vehicle lot, and a dog park. Owners of the private properties in the area not owned by Platform are to be part of the planning process.

“It’s an area that’s very central to the Lower Mainland and may have been historically undiscovered until the last number of years,” said Platform planning consultant Cameron Chalmers.

“It’s an underserved neighbourhood.”

Shury wouldn’t say if Platform will pursue purchase any of the area’s other properties because he didn’t want to upset any of the owners, or damage future possible negotiations.

“I won’t disclose too much on that front,” said Shury.

The current Queensborough Community Plan calls for a “Commercial Main Street” along Ewen. Frankie G’s Pub and the commercial part of Port Royal currently are in the study area. A purely commercial venture like as a grocery store would be allowed. Chalmers noted it would put shopping within walking distance for residents instead journeying to the other side of Highway 91A. The community plan says a minimum of two thirds of the land should be used to generate employment. Its design guidelines also require creation of a public plaza where Ewen, Duncan and Furness meet. Chalmers said the land west of Mercer Street will be predominantly residential.

From the city’s perspective, a master plan process that explores land use and design guidelines in detail made more sense than a typical community plan.

“This approach was seen to be appropriate given the complexities in the area, including the proximity of rail lines and the adjacency of both residential and industrial development,” said a report to city council.

Platform has already put together a project team of design, traffic, environment and engineering experts. It has created a preliminary design concept, but it’s general in nature.

Their first open house for the special study area was scheduled for the Queensborough Community Centre on Tuesday, 5 to 8 p.m.

Chalmers said ideally work would start by summer 2015.

But there’s still several hoops to go through with presentations to city committees, another open house, a revision of the city’s Official Community Plan and a public hearing.

OPINION

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

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Debating essentials

LAST WEEK:

Hospital emergency departments are essential, no doubt. Ditto police, fire, rescue and ambulance services.

Anything concerned with health and safety, like access to food and clean water could also be deemed essential.

Public transportation, perhaps, for those with no other options for getting from A to B. Waste removal might also qualify.

But is any part of the education process “essential?” That’s what the Labour Relations Board ruled this month in the provincial government’s so-far failed negotiations with teachers.

To be sure, having schools behind picket lines is a huge inconvenience for all involved.

So is any delay receiving marks and transcripts, particularly when deadlines loom for entry for postsecondary.

But as essential as education may be in the long term, in the short term it’s doubtful the temporary absence of any part of the educational chain poses a threat to life and limb.

There’s a certain irony to a government saying provincial exams for Grades 10-12 and finals marks for grads are an essential service. After all, the crux of the argument for striking workers is that for years education has been treated as anything but.

If the service is essential, one might argue it is essential to maintain it and pay for it.

The provincial government says teachers’ current pay demands are unreasonable in this economy.

The teachers, on the other hand, say it is a bill past due—just as concerns about class size and composition could, and probably should, have been addressed in more economically certain times.

While the conservative mantra of “one can’t spend what one doesn’t have” sounds reasonable, it’s harder to maintain when, at a moment’s notice, the goal posts can be moved by government fiat.

Pipeline approval fraught with risks The Northern Gateway pipeline is one of the most ambitious, controversial, and potentially dangerous projects ever proposed in Canada. The 1,177-kilometre twin pipeline, which will carry diluted bitumen from Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, B.C., will traverse some of B.C.’s most remote, pristine and geologically unstable terrain. The federal government, as widely expected, last week approved its construction—yet it is a decision almost as risky politically as it is environmentally.

Supporters, led by Calgarybased Enbridge Inc., the pipeline’s designer and builder, claim it will generate billions in economic activity. Opponents are concerned about the environmental damage of inland and coastal spills that could cost billions to clean up—if bitumen released in coastal waters can even be captured.

While the media often describes the pipeline’s main adversaries as “environmentalists and First Nations,” polling reveals most British Columbians oppose it.

Darin Nesbitt A clear and decisive majority—between 60 to 65 per cent—disapprove of the pipeline.

Opposition rises higher when British Columbians are further asked their views of shipping bitumen by supertankers through the Douglas Channel. The level of opposition is noteworthy given the extraordinary public relations efforts by Enbridge and other influential pipeline advocates.

Enbridge saturated B.C. with television, newspaper, and internet advocacy—in addition to lobbying regional, municipal, and First Nations governments in central B.C.—to counter public opinion.

The energy and resource industries extolled the economic benefits of extracting and selling Canada’s natural resources through extensive national

media campaigns. The federal government itself is singularly committed as a matter of policy to Canada becoming an “energy superpower.” Some ministers revealed the federal cabinet’s support of the pipeline while the National Energy Board’s Joint Review Panel was still assessing the proposal.

In spite of these forceful actors and decision-makers, opposition to the pipeline in B.C. remains deep and widespread. Kitimat rejected the pipeline in a local plebiscite even though the town would be the main beneficiary of the B.C. jobs generated. The Yinka Dene Alliance of five First Nations posted public notices and warnings to Enbridge employees not to trespass on their lands. There’s even an effort to launch a provincial initiative— the same plebiscitary device that forced the B.C. provincial government to repeal the despised harmonized sales tax.

Governments frequently (and frustratingly) defy the public will, but there are electoral consequences in doing so. The

proposed pipeline is not—as often so with natural resource projects—dividing rural and urban British Columbians. The issue also transcends political party affiliation for voters, which means the federal government’s decision may alienate its own supporters in B.C. The Harper government currently represents 21 of the 36 B.C. federal ridings. How British Columbians voted in the last federal election was the difference between Mr. Harper and the federal Conservatives leading a majority or a minority government. B.C. will have 42 seats in the next national election—an increase of six based on population growth over the past 10 years. If approving an unpopular pipeline festers like an open wound amongst British Columbians—as did the HST—Mr. Harper’s government may pay a steep political price for its decision.

COMMENT

Spam is better than the alternative Re: Anti-spam laws futile (Editorial, NewsLeader, June 6) Thank you for including this article, highlighting the absolute uselessness of this legislation.

I have conducted a lot of email marketing over the years using legitimately purchased and obtained business lists. Email marketing is environmentally friendly and places smaller businesses on a more level playing field with larger corporations with deeper pockets. It also allows recipients the option of instant destruction by pressing a single key on their keyboard—unlike junk mail or letters which must be recycled.

As mentioned in your article, the legislation will do nothing to stop the truly offensive “spam.” Scams, fake products, phishing messages delivered by well placed virii, will continue.

All this will do is hurt GDP and reduce consumer choice as businesses have to adjust to the new rules.

Anti-spam activists are a strange bunch, and I’ve encountered many in my career.

People threatening to sue you over receipt of a single email, or threatening to file a complaint to the CRTC, simply because they received a legitimate offer from a legitimate company. I would always place my business phone number and mailing address in my messages.

All this legislation will do is empower these misguided people.

Misguided they are, because they are effectively fighting for more junk mail, more wasted paper, more billboards put up around the community, and against small start-up and home-based businesses.

Indirectly, they are lobbying for the billion dollar media conglomerates.

A better fight would be to ensure that all unsolicited commercial bulk email do the following: 1. Provide a business license number and the registered business address for the company 2. Provide a telephone number in Canada for recipients to further inquire by phone 3. Provide a working mechanism to be removed from the marketing list with a confirmation receipt sent Spam can be annoying when

it becomes overwhelming. But most users can easily reduce the amount they receive using the following suggestions: 1. If you are already inundated with spam, it’s too late. Get a new email address.

2. When asked to provide your email address to register, determine the credibility of the sender.

3. Never publish your email online anywhere in a public space viewable to the Internet at large.

Spam is easily manageable.

Don’t advocate chopping down trees because you are too lazy to simply click the “delete” key.

Kris Taylor New Westminster

NOT GOOD FAITH I’m a teacher in New Westminster and am disturbed by what is happening right now.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender’s warning to the teachers that the government’s latest offer is “about as good as it’s going to get” is very unfortunate.

If their offer doesn’t get better there will not be a deal made between teachers and the government any time soon. In this “as good as it’s going to get” offer the government wants us to agree to allow them to rip up our collective agreement if they don’t like the outcome from the Court of Appeal.

They want us to agree to a contract that would then allow them to strip our collective agreement.

We would never agree to that and they know it. That isn’t bargaining in good faith.

BC Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, in a 115-page ruling, released Jan. 27 2014, ruled that the government didn’t bargain in good faith with the BC Teachers’ Federation after a court decision struck down the legislation, Bill 28, in 2011.

They were fined $2 million, of which they haven’t paid a penny because they are using tax dollars to fight this ruling.

Earlier this month while Fassbender and Christy Clark were saying that negotiations were going well and they were committed to bargaining 24/7, they were actually not bargaining.

They were presented with a revised offer from the BCTF on a Friday morning and did

not respond until Sunday at 6 p.m., presenting a counter offer that included the language about ripping up the collective agreement and then said the ball is in the BCTF’s court. Not a ball exactly, more like a hand grenade.

Ask yourself if that is bargaining in good faith.

Fassbender and Peter Cameron have been in the media trying to make the BCTF look like liars.

Please look at all the facts and see who is really bending the truth about what happened this past weekend.

I have never been so worried about a government as I am now. I am usually an optimist and try to look at both sides and see the best in people.

I have never seen a more manipulative, game playing, power hungry group in power in my lifetime in our country.

People need to take a closer look at what is going on and do something about it.

This is about so much more than just education.

FOCUS ON CLASS SIZE The Robson elementary Parent Advisory Council is writing a letter to the Education Ministry and the BCTF requesting negotiations focus on class size and composition because not all parents support teachers’ wage demands.

Parents I’ve spoken to are supportive of the inclusionary practice of integrating special needs kids into the classroom because it provides significant benefits to the kids, and generally everyone’s child could use a little support at one time or another.

In order for integration to be successful it is critical that adequate support (resource staff) be available to work with the teachers and students in the classroom because teachers can’t be expected to have all the necessary training to handle the variety of IEPs (Individual Education Plans) they may encounter. Due to the budget cuts resource staff has been severely limited and parents with and without special needs kids have felt these detrimental effects.

BRIEFS

Fireworks return Canada Day Several hours of entertainment and activity at the Westminster Quay will be capped off by fireworks July 1.

The Canada Day celebrations begin at 3 p.m. and conclude with the fireworks at 10 p.m.

The activities are being put together by the Hyack Festival Association and River Market.

Along with many of the usual fun stuff for kids there will be performances by the Vancouver Circus School. A sound stage near the tugboat playground will feature the rock group Freedom 95, The Creole Jazz Band, Queensborough soloist Giovanni, the Westminster Regimental Band and Burnaby’s Boot River Boys.

Wally’s opens at Pier Park The concession stand at Westminster Pier Park is finally open. Although the park opened two years ago the concession stand remained closed. But earlier this year the City of New Westminster signed a lease with Wally’s Burgers, which also operates an outlet in the River Market. Wally’s will operate the concession, which will include an adjacent patio area, until midOctober.

The Pier Park outlet will sell hots dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, milkshakes, slushies and other snacks.

It will be open weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and weekends 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. the rest of this month. From July 1 to Sept. 1, its hours of operation will be 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

No love for Pattullo The BCAA has announced something most New West residents already knew—the Pattullo Bridge is one of the worst roads in the province.

The automobile association announced its top 10 ‘worst’ roads in B.C. recently and the Pattullo was listed as No. 7. Traffic congestion was cited by 85 per cent of those participating in the survey as the Pattullo’s main problem.

BCAA said overall congestion concerns were cited by a record 24 per cent of those voting compared to 14 per cent last year and 11 per cent in 2012.

The four worst roads on the list were all in the Okanagan— Vernon, Coldstream and two in West Kelowna.

Congestion in the George Massey Tunnel was the top concern in the Lower Mainland

followed by the Pattullo.

Save-On party Save-On-Foods will have its official grand opening of its Sapperton store Saturday, June 28. Proceeds from its barbecue go to fund a playground at the new Qayqayt elementary school.

The former Thrifty Foods was converted by Overwaitea Foods to Save-On after Sobeys was ordered to sell it by the Competition Bureau earlier this year. Amongst its many activities, the event—which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.—will have a pie-eating contest.

Man gets 11 years A man investigated by New Westminster police has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for not telling women who were his sexual partners he was HIV positive. A jury found Bongani Nyoni guilty of three charges of aggravated sexual assault in a trial held in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. He was sentenced last week.

The NWPD’s major crime unit got an anonymous tip about Nyoni’s activities in November 2009. Following an investigation charges against him were approved in July 2010.

Electric kart races stall at start line Mario Bartel

photo@newwestnewsleader.com

The promoter of a weekend of races featuring electric go-karts zipping through Downtown New West has pulled the plug.

Greg Webster, the founder of the G-Zero racing championship series, said he’s had to indefinitely postpone his inaugural event, scheduled for June 28-29.

The New Westminster races were supposed to be the first of six events in Metro Vancouver, from Whistler to Chilliwack, to introduce electric go-kart racing.

About 40 teams were expected to be on the start line.

But Webster said he’s had difficulty securing the water-filled protective barriers that will line parts of the course, and sponsors and teams have been slow to commit.

Webster said he’s caught in a kind of chickenand-egg scenario in that sponsors and racers don’t want to commit money until they’re ensured a

series of events, but the events can’t go ahead without commitments from those sponsors and racers.

“It’s a different sort of sporting event than people are used to,” said Webster. “The community is not familiar enough with motorsport as a venue for marketing.”

Webster estimated it will cost between $75,000 and $110,000 to put on a racing event, much of that covering the cost of closing roads, installing barriers, staffing for security and policing.

As there’s no admission to watch the races, Webster said those expenses would need to be covered by sponsorship and drivers’ entry fees.

The racers are also on the hook for the $15,000 cost of a kart, plus other expenses like a trailer, spare parts and extra tires, which they try to recoup through sponsorships.

Blair Fryer, New Westminster’s economic development manager and director of communications, said he

was informed by Webster of the cancellation by email Thursday evening. The city had scheduled a meeting with Webster later this week to discuss holding the event Sept. 7. Fryer said that meeting will no longer happen.

“It’s unfortunate with a brand new concept like G-Zero, these things can be tough to get off the ground,” said Fryer.

Maddison McKitrick, the program and events coordinator for the Downtown BIA, said she understands organizers of new events often run into complications along the way.

“Obviously we were looking forward to it,” said McKitrick.

It’s not the first time Webster’s plans to launch a series of electric go-kart

SYMPHONY IN THE PARK EVENTS

races has short-circuited.

The company was first supposed to launch its racing series with a preview event at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Vancouver in Sept., 2011, with eight more races scheduled around Metro Vancouver the following year.

But those races never happened.

Another attempt was

made to ignite the series last year. A crowd-funding campaign started in Oct. 2012 to raise $17,500 so G-Zero could acquire an electric go-kart to show off its capabilities to potential sponsors and racers.

The campaign promised “8 unique temporary circuits in front of tens of thousands of spectators” starting in the spring of 2013. It realized only $145 before it closed in Dec. 2012.

Webster admits his initial aspirations may have been too ambitious.

“Our focus this year is on the promotion and acclimation of the community to what we’re doing, as opposed to holding bigger, grander events,” said Webster.

Fryer said Webster is still keen to bring electric go-kart racing to the Royal City.

“We remain open to working with them in the future should the opportunity arise,” said Fryer.

BUSINESS IN NEW WEST ____________________ presented by

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHAMBER AND A BOARD OF TRADE? A question I’m asked often is, “What is the difference between a Board of Trade and a Chamber of Commerce?”

The answer is easy—they’re one and the same.

Even though our names may be different, our services are the same. But what exactly are we?

When I was a small business owner I had no clue what a Chamber did in the community. I joined the Chamber because as a business owner I wanted to be part of the winning team.

I knew the Chamber was a champion and I wanted to be a member.

But what did they do? I had to get involved to find out and when I did find out, I was sold. So much so that after I sold my business, I dedicated my volunteer hours to the Chamber and eventually took on a leadership role, a role I have had for 17 years!

A great Chamber is governed and run by business owners just like our members.

604-553-1176 6 www.musicboxnw.ca nd 2 Floor @ River Market New Westminster Quay

Protecting your legal interests is our BUSINESS. Proud member of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce since 1958.

We know what it is like to be in the business trenches. To stay up all night in the early stages of the business, doing accounting, doing all of the marketing and promotions, ordering and worrying about our staff.

As business owners we were involved in every aspect of the business. Of course as our businesses grew our roles changed, but having had that experience we are able to relate to our members on a very personal level.

Each Chamber/Board of Trade has its selling tools. You hear the words Advocacy, Economic Development, Networking, Benefits, and Value Added Service.

But what do all these mean?

Advocacy in simplest terms means “fighting for business and giving a voice to their needs.”

We do this through lobbying the parties that can make change for our businesses. On a local level in New Westminster, one of our members, Kasia at Charlie’s Pet Spa down on Carnarvon, was having parking issues which were having a hugely negative impact on her business. We met with Kasia to determine the problem and then set out to meet with the people at the city who could help. Jim Lowrie at the city immediately addressed this for Kasia. Her problem is solved, business is booming and we were happy to help.

On a provincial level many Chambers worked together and lobbied the provincial government to reconsider the MMBC regulations that were just enacted. Prior to the lobby the effects of the new regulations would have had an enormous impact to the cost of doing business in B.C. There is still a lot of work to do—especially concerning community newspapers— but without the Chamber voice the regulations would have processed without any amendments.

Recently, our Chamber has partnered with our colleagues in Surrey identifying the need for the federal government to review the accelerated capital cost allowance on computer equipment.

As technology grows at lightning speed, our systems can be obsolete before our depreciation schedule is complete. As small business owners we want the federal government to consider depreciating this equipment and other modern technologies at an accelerated rate from what is available today.

externally are responded to in a quick and efficient manner.

They do this extremely well.

Unfortunately as hard as they work they cannot share their daily activities with many. Enquiries from potential investors are highly confidential and understandably so and they must remain so. Imagine if a potential investor of millions into our local economy does not have confidence in the City to keep his/her business secret. That investor would find a new City in short order.

At the Chamber we not only support the role of the Economic Development Office we provide services that complement it.

For instance, did you know that at the Chamber we issue hundreds of Certificates of Origin? A Certificate of Origin is issued to a local manufacturer who wants to export their products. We authenticate their product and with our Certificate of Origin the business then can complete the export of their product. We are often the first point of contact for those individuals looking to to start a business in New Westminster as well.

services in terms of economic development. Most recently we completed a project called New West WINS with many other partners in an effort to help our business community understand the needs of immigrant employees. We have recently submitted a proposal to the Government of Canada to develop a specially designed business development program for a certain segment of our population.

One of the most popular and well-known aspects of Chambers/Board of Trades is their ability to host great networking opportunities for business to assemble to do business with each other. In New Westminster we host many events throughout the year—bi-monthly signature events such as the Springtime Sizzle, award ceremonies, golf tournaments and economic forums/dialogues.

Finally, the Chamber is always seeking ways to bring value and benefits to their members. In many circumstances you will see merchant discount programs, group insurance programs, gasoline savings, and hotel savings to name a few.

Membership is the lifeblood of any Chamber/Board of Trade.

Of the 130 Chambers in B.C. there are about 80 Chambers who DO NOT receive any funding from their local municipality.

New Westminster is one.

Last year, the New Westminster Chamber made a conscious decision not to apply for any grants or funding from the City of New Westminster because as business owners ourselves we appreciate and respect the fact that our members do not receive government funding for their success—and why should we? We are the leaders in the business community and your board and staff felt that we should lead by example.

As such we have made changes to the staff structure at the chamber to become sustainable without government subsidy.

To attract members to our organization we must make sure that all of our activities are synchronised, that we are always adding value and that we are a sustainable organization that will be serving the business community of New Westminster for another 130 years!

Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade are working on behalf of the business community in many ways. Join one today!

At the Chamber we not only support the role of the Economic Development Office we provide services that complement it.

For instance, did you know that at the Chamber we issue hundreds of Certificates of Origin? A Certificate of Origin is issued to a local manufacturer who wants to export their products. We authenticate their product and with our Certificate of Origin the business then can complete the export of their product. We are often the first point of contact for those individuals looking to to start a business in New Westminster as well.

services in terms of economic development. Most recently we completed a project called New West WINS with many other partners in an effort to help our business community understand the needs of immigrant employees. We have recently submitted a proposal to the Government of Canada to develop a specially designed business development program for a certain segment of our population.

One of the most popular and well-known aspects of Chambers/Board of Trades is their ability to host great networking opportunities for business to assemble to do business with each other. In New Westminster we host many events throughout the year—bi-monthly signature events such as the Springtime Sizzle, award ceremonies, golf tournaments and economic forums/dialogues.

Finally, the Chamber is always seeking ways to bring value and benefits to their members. In many circumstances you will see merchant discount programs, group insurance programs, gasoline savings, and hotel savings to name a few.

Membership is the lifeblood of any Chamber/Board of Trade.

Of the 130 Chambers in B.C. there are about 80 Chambers who DO NOT receive any funding from their local municipality.

New Westminster is one.

Last year, the New Westminster Chamber made a conscious decision not to apply for any grants or funding from the City of New Westminster because as business owners ourselves we appreciate and respect the fact that our members do not receive government funding for their success—and why should we? We are the leaders in the business community and your board and staff felt that we should lead by example.

As such we have made changes to the staff structure at the chamber to become sustainable without government subsidy.

To attract members to our organization we must make sure that all of our activities are synchronised, that we are always adding value and that we are a sustainable organization that will be serving the business community of New Westminster for another 130 years!

Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade are working on behalf of the business community in many ways. Join one today!

Ranford hoping for a double-cup party ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Bill Ranford wants to make this summer’s Cup party a double celebration in more ways than one.

The New Westminster resident and Los Angeles Kings goalie coach is on a high after the team’s Stanley Cup victory earlier this month.

It’s the second for the Kings in three years.

He’ll get to celebrate the wins with friends and family when he has his one day with the Cup this summer.

But there’s something else he wants to celebrate at the same time.

Just a few days after

He’ll soon get his chance to party, but after the long season he’s just been through Ranford says he’s ready to relax. This Cup run was a little bit more exhausting than 2012.

In that one, the Kings bullied their way to victory, needing just 20 games to win the four rounds.

This time they required 21 games just to get to the Stanley Cup final. In fact, they lost their first three games to San Jose in the first round before winning the last four.

They were then down 3-2 to the Anaheim Ducks in the second round before bouncing back to advance. In the Western Conference final, they led the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 but needed to go to

Bill Ranford’s nephew Brendan Ranford (right) recently won the Calder Cup with this team the Texas Stars. The Calder Cup is the American Hockey League’s equivalent of the Stanley Cup.

overtime in Game 7 to reach the Cup final.

“It was special. The first [Cup run] for the Kings was definitely exciting but the road we travelled on in this one made it special in its own way,” said Ranford, 47.

It was exhausting for

the players. And for the coaches.

“Ours is probably more the mental aspect and the lack of sleep,”

said Ranford of having to prepare game plans and pick out even the slightest tendencies in the opposing shooters.

“All the detail and the video work to be done to be prepared for the next day, you’re on edge. Well worth it in the end,” said Ranford.

Along with the cup victories Ranford can also toast signing a three-year deal with the Kings a few days later along with the rest of the team’s hockey operations staff. “(General manager) Dean Lombardi has done a very good job for setting us up for the future,” said Ranford, who’s been with the

Kings eight seasons.

The one negative to the new deal is having to spend much of the hockey season in L.A. “The biggest difficulty for me is living in Los Angeles with my family (wife Kelly and daughters Cassady and Tristan) still living in New Westminster,” said Ranford. “They’ve got their roots there.

I can’t do that (ask them to move). I’m the one that has to suffer being on the road, but it’s something I want to do. I’m fortunate they support me. Our summers together are special.”

Especially this one.

the Kings’ claimed the Cup, Ranford’s nephew Brendan won the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup. He was playing for the Texas Stars, the minorleague affiliate of the Dallas Stars.

Ranford and AHL president Dave Andrews go way back.

Back to the days when Ranford tended net for the New Westminster Bruins at Queen’s Park Arena and Andrews ran the rival Victoria Cougars. Ranford said he’s going to ask Andrews if both the Calder and Stanley cups could be at the same party.

“It would be a double treat,” said Ranford, who won two Stanley Cups playing for the Edmonton Oilers in 1988 and 1990.

Helping kids make friends Students learn lessons each day. While many of these lessons pertain to their coursework, kids pick up much more than book smarts from school, where kids first learn to cultivate friendships and build lasting relationships.

While many kids find it easy to make new friends, others might need some assistance so they can make the most of opportunities to socialize and form friendships that might last a lifetime.

• Offer opportunities for socialization. Children should be given the chance to explore friendships outside of the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalent.

Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date.

Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships.

Invite new children over each time to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child.

• Discover common interests. One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests, says Kirk Martin, a behavioral therapist and author. Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests. Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier.

• Teach proper manners.

Children who are polite, wellmannered and know how to follow direction are better equipped to attract friends.

Children who misbehave may be shunned by other kids and their parents who do not want the hassle of an unruly youngster coming over to play.

Respectful children who are honest, trustworthy and capable of sustaining eye contact and making small talk may find it easy to make friends.

• Take the friendship lead.

As parents, you can improve your child’s chances of making friends by getting friendly with their classmates’ parents.

You don’t have to become bosom buddies with everyone, but making connections can reinforce the value of friendship to your children. Socializing as families also presents other opportunities to get together and solidify relationships.

• Boost confidence levels.

As a parent you can talk to your children about their strengths and positive attributes.

Emphasizing kids’ best traits will increase their self-esteem, and that sense of self-worth can make it easier for them to make friends. A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meeting new people, but a child who can proudly stand behind his or her accomplishments may attract friends easily.

School is about more than just hitting the books. It’s also a time to develop personal skills and make new friends.

Jr. ’Bellies take top spot The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies have clinched a first-round bye in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League, and need just five points from their remaining four games to clinch first place.

The ’Bellies blitzed the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen 18-6 at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday to improve to 16-1-0 and to keep three points ahead of second-place Coquitlam (14-2-1).

League-leading scorer Connor Robinson scored four times on 13 shots and assisted on three others. He has 37 goals and 90 points in 17 games and has a 16-point lead on the rest of the pack.

Jeremy Bosher scored three times and assisted on two while Josh Byrne and Johnny Pearson had two of each.

New West has four players in the top seven of league scoring with Pearson (38-30-68) fifth, Byrne (30-29-59) sixth and Bosher (23-35-58) seventh. Byrne has racked up his points in just eight games since returning from playing collegiate field lacrosse in New York.

Luke Gillespie also scored three for the ’Bellies with Jakob Doucet getting two. Chris Nasato and Nathan Stewart also scored for New West.

The key game for the Salmonbellies came last Wednesday when they downed the hometown

Coquitlam Adanacs. The next night in Burnaby they beat the Jr. Lakers 15-8.

In Coquitlam, Byrne scored four goals and assisted on three others. He had the same output against Burnaby. Pearson also had a big game for New West on Wednesday scoring four goals and assisting on another. Robinson had a goal and two assists. Other Salmonbellies goals were scored

by Bosher, Nasato and Stewart as New West outshot Coquitlam 59-45.

In Burnaby, Anthony Malcom had a big night with three goals and three assists. Adam Dickson and Pearson both turned in five-point performances with Dickson scoring three goals and Bosher one. Gillespie had two with singles going to Bosher and Stewart. Robinson contributed six assists.

New West outshot Burnaby 61-38, including a 47-28 margin over the first two periods when the Lakers trailed just 9-7 heading to the final period.

The Salmonbellies were to play host to the Langley Thunder (5-12-1) Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena. They’ll be back at Copeland to take on the Lakers on Sunday before finishing with a July 2 game in Coquitlam and at home against the Victoria Shamrocks (11-5-1) July 6.

Senior Salmonellies lose fifth straight The Sr. Salmonbellies lost their fifth consecutive game when they went to Victoria on Friday and were beaten 11-10 by the firstplace Shamrocks (8-0-1).

New West (2-6-0) is last in the Western Lacrosse Association.

The Salmonbellies almost pulled off a miracle comeback since they trailed 10-3 heading into the third period. The Shamrocks outshot the ’Bellies 40-20 in the first two periods.

Keegan Bal had a goal and six

assists for the Salmonbellies. Sean Lundstrom and Richard Lachlan notched two goals and an assist each while Jordan McBride had a goal and two assists. Other New West goal scorers were Sean Robinson, Colton Clark, Jeff Cornwall and Matt MacKenzie.

On Thursday, the Nanaimo Timbermen (2-6-1) downed the ’Bellies 11-9 at Queen’s Park Arena to jump over the Salmonbellies into fifth place.

A four-goal outburst in less than

three minutes late in the third period gave Nanaimo a 10-6 lead.

New West scored three in the last four minutes but it was too late.

McBride notched three goals and assisted on two others. Martin Cummings scored twice for the ’Bellies with singles going to Logan Schuss, Tyler Crompton, Lachlan and MacKenzie.

The Salmonbellies will be in Langley (5-5-0) on Wednesday before taking on the Burnaby Lakers (5-3-0) at Bill Copeland Arena (7:45 p.m.) Friday.

What do Celine Dion, Sandra Oh and Sarah Palin all have in common?

By Doug Setter, BSc.

They all have different weights, heights, body fat and dress sizes. But the common attractiveness and health factor is their waist-to-hips ratio (WHR). Their waists are 70% of their hips. For example, Sandra Oh’s 23” waist and 33” hips, give her figure a Waistto-Hips Ratio of 0.7.

To measure your own WHR, measure the narrowest part of your waist (1” above your navel) and divide this number by the widest part of your hips.

A healthy woman’s WHR is about 0.8 and a WHR of 0.7 will give you the attractive curves of many sought-after women of the ages.

Based on the research of Dr. Devendrah Singh from the University of Texas found that 0.7 was consistent in: 1. 2,500 year old Venus sculptures across Europe and Asia 2. All Miss America winners from 1923 to 1987 (0.69 to 0.72) 3. Playboy centerfolds from 1955 to 1965 and 1976 to 1990 (0.68 to 0.71) 4. Across different cultures from Indonesians, Indian laborer, African Americans and Caucasians.

Further proving his theory, Dr. Devendrah also conducted an experiment that measured male brain reactions to silhouettes of women’s figures. The silhouettes with 0.7 WHR consistently scored high with 20 year old male subjects.

Fortunately, attaining the 0.7 WHR does not involve the familiar female fitness philosophy of starvation diets and exhaustive exercise. Hourglass shaping involves correcting muscle imbalance, core strength

training and proper body alignment.

This is to say, a naturally heavier woman with good posture, a well developed upper body, firm waist and curvy hips is naturally healthy and shapely.

Picture Marilyn Monroe’s figure and you have got it.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and instructing hundreds of women in kick-boxing, Pilates and Stomach Flattening, I noticed those that kept training and lasting the longest were the healthier, hour glass shaped ladies. The hour glass shape had the survivability and durability.

To accentuate this kind of natural shape, the training has to support the upper body, balance muscles, stretching, core strength and functional fitness. That means a deep Hindu-style squat will beat out a leg extension machine for balance, fat-burning, killer legs and a butt that won’t quit.

Many middle-aged women live high-stress lives which leave them with tense, over-tight muscles.

When they try to exercise like 20 year olds, they often worsen the situation. They get tighter and tighter and end up with flat backs, tree trunk thighs and narrow upper bodies. They might lose weight, but they take on bowling pin figures.

When I train my female clients, they get back their normal curves. They stand straighter and move more gracefully. As a grandmother client once told me, “I used to have a straight line from my back to my heels. Now, I actually have a butt. Thanks, Doug.”

Dear Mr. Setter, Since I joined your Stomach Flattening class, my body got better and I no longer need the pain medication for my shoulder, back and hip. I have more energy and flexibility, a stronger back and tone(d) stomach muscles. Thank you so much for the freedom of working out without pain and being able to wear a size 3 dress again.
