Tracy Espenant limbers up for a run at New Westminster Quay. She’s an avid participant in the annual Terry Fox Run and tries to get the kids she teaches excited about it by turning September into Terry Fox month.

Fox run still provides life lessons Event returns to River Market this Sunday Mario Bartel

Every September, Tracy Espenant turns the Terry Fox Run into a teachable moment.

The Grade 4-5 teacher decorates her classroom with posters, photos and articles about Terry Fox, and the ribbons and certificates she’s accumulated from having

participated in the run for the past 15 or so years.

She tells her students about Terry’s dream to raise money to find a cure for cancer by running across Canada despite having lost one of his legs to the disease.

She shares her memories of watching the news coverage of his quest when she was a teenager, and the heartbreak everyone felt when Fox had to cut his journey short because the cancer had recurred.

Of course that teachable moment won’t happen this year due to the ongoing labour strife between teachers and the provincial government.

But that hasn’t dimmed Espenant’s enthusiasm for the run.

She said she loves the community aspect of the event, which is run totally by volunteers without any kind of corporate sponsorship.

She loves the waterfront setting along New Westminster Quay. She

loves the variety of people the event attracts every year, from seasoned runners to babies in strollers to those who haven’t laced up sneakers in years but still want to contribute to the cause.

And like many participants, that cause hits pretty close to home for Espenant, as she lost both her parents to cancer within a year of each other.

A new condo project proposed

by Bosa Properties would include a public “living room” to the waterfront, possibly even with a fireplace, if the development at 1000 Quayside Dr. gets the green light.

A report to council on Monday recommends Bosa’s application to rezone the site go to a public hearing on Sept. 29.

The company’s development plans include two condo towers, one 23 storeys, the other 28 storeys, atop a four-storey podium that includes parking for residents, visitors and shoppers with a shopping mews along the south side, across from the Inn at the Quay and the Westminster Savings buildings.

The retail would also wrap around the east end, facing the River Market.

Townhouses would be built along 10th Street, across from the existing co-op.

The new development also includes a pedestrian walkway through the podium to the waterfront, and a staircase and glass elevator linking it to the McInnes overpass.

SEP

LET’S TALK

6:00PM

6:00 PM on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 In Council Chamber, City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, BC ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7697, 2014 (DENSITY BONUS PHASE 2) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Density Bonus Zoning is a method which would allow the implementation of the Downtown Community Plan while ensuring community amenities such as community centres, recreation facilities, affordable housing initiatives and child care are adequately funded. This helps to ensure that the needs of the growing population are met.

WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW 7697, 2014 ABOUT? This bylaw is to implement Density Bonus Program – Phase 2 as an alternative approach for obtaining amenity contribution from development. This approach would, in most cases, replace the existing negotiated amenity contribution process increasing transparency, consistency, predictability, simplicity and efficiency.

Phase two of the Density Bonus Program would apply to high density mixed use and residential zoning in Downtown New Westminster. It would establish base densities and heights equivalent to existing zoning entitlements and bonus densities and heights which correspond with the Downtown Community Plan.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Department at City Hall 10 business days prior to the closure of the Public Hearing, August 29, 2014 to September 16, 2014 Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.

HOW CAN I BE HEARD? The public is welcome to attend the Public Hearing on Tuesday September 16, 2014 at 6:00 pm or send a written submission addressed to Mayor and Council prior to the closing of the public hearing.

Card project takes creators back to future Mario Bartel

photo@newwestnewsleader.com

Jen Arbo is inviting 300 people to visit their future selves.

Luckily, getting there won’t require a DeLorean car rigged with a pulsing flux capacitor.

Instead they’ll use scissors, paper, a glue stick and a little creativity.

Arbo is hosting three free workshops, Sept. 23, 25 and 27, at the River Market, for people to craft cards to themselves that they’ll receive in the mail in five years. Each workshop can take up to 100 people, and all the materials and implements are supplied.

Arbo said she hopes people will use the cards to remind themselves of a milestone they’ve achieved,

a goal they’ve set, a celebration or encouraging thoughts.

“It’s like a time capsule,” she said. “It makes you think what do you want to capture about this moment.”

Arbo said she thought of the idea for the project, which she calls Love Letter to Myself, when she was crafting with a friend. She’d worked on scrapbooks before, but more often than not they end up sitting on a shelf, gathering dust.

A card that’s mailed back to its creator in five years’ time is like a little surprise gift, a reminder of a creative moment in time, said Arbo.

“It’s really nice to have a token of something about your former self,” she said.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

Jen Arbo is leading three workshops for people to create cards to themselves that they’ll receive in the mail in five years.

Especially in this day and age when most mementos people keep, like photos, are stored on computer

hard drives and letters have been replaced by email, Facebook and Twitter.

Arbo applied for a

Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Vancouver Foundation to pay for the postage for 300

cards as well as some of the supplies. The rest she was able to gather from donations by local businesses, including the space in the upstairs community square at River Market.

Arbo said people don’t need to be particularly crafty. There will be facilitators on hand to offer creative feedback. The sessions are open to all ages and pre-registration is not required.

After all the cards are created, Arbo will affix stamps to the envelopes and pack them safely away in a box. In September, 2019, she’ll mail them.

Bosa has committed to rail noise mitigation ⫸

The condo towers would be comprised of 305 one-bedroom units, 188 two bedrooms and 26 three-bedroom residences, each with “flex-space” features that allow things like a kitchen island to be converted to an eightperson dining table, or bedrooms that can be converted to a living room.

In addition to 516 parking spaces for residents on six levels, two of which will be underground, there would also be 80 parking spots available to visitors to the River Market as well as the development’s commercial tenants.

A parking study by Bunt & Associates transportation planners said even though those parking spots are less than the 794 spots required by existing parking bylaws, the project’s proximity to SkyTrain, its high

walkability score, and a plan to provide 89 subsidized transit passes to residents as well as four stalls for car share programs means there will still be plenty of parking.

The proposal has been altered considerably since it was first presented to council in February.

That plan called for two 26-storey towers atop a seven-storey parkade, six of which would be above ground. But city staff and a public review that consisted of two open houses, as well as an information kiosk at the Quayside Festival, raised a number of concerns with the project’s size, as well as the nature of some of its public spaces.

“The proposed design has responded to many of the concerns and comments raised through the committee and public consultation process,” said a report presented to council on

through the podium to the waterfront which would feature a public “living room” on the west side, with outdoor seating,

special lighting and possibly even a fireplace.

The area under the McInnes overpass could also become a playground or off-leash dog park. And the developer would contribute to the cost of widening the overpass to improve pedestrian access between the 8th Street SkyTrain station and the waterfront.

To reduce the potential impact of noise from the nearby railyard, the side of the building facing the tracks is where most of the parkade and mechanical services will be located. The structure will also be screened to blend in architecturally with the rest of the project.

“The combination of slow train speed, the setback and building design satisfy staff,” said the report.

Bosa Properties also committed to find ways to mitigate rail noise.

A new Master Plan for the eastern parking lot of Westminster Quay, between the Fraser River Discovery Centre and Westminster Pier Park, could go to a public hearing on Sept. 29, if council adopts the recommendation of a staff report presented on Monday.

The plan will guide future development of the lot, also known as the Larco site.

The plan would see the construction of three residential towers, along with commercial space, a daycare facility for 40 children, and the possibility of a 100-200 room hotel being located in the first tower.

The towers would range from 29 to 47 storeys, and would include family friendly townhouses. All parking would be underground.

About a third of the site’s east end would be gifted to the city and added to Pier Park. And the park would be linked to the River Market by an extension of the waterfront esplanade.

To access the new towers, Quayside Drive would be realigned to create a waterfront drive that ends at a mixed-use

plaza between the eastern towers.

“The development would be organized along this drive, creating an attractive and lively public waterfront,” said the report.

A pedestrian and bike greenway would also be built adjacent to the existing rail lines to connect Quayside Drive to Pier Park.

Larco has owned the site for almost two decades, and previous proposals to develop it included up to five towers atop an above-grade parking podium. Approval for that plan was granted by city council in 2005. But market conditions and the expense of building along the waterfront put actual construction on hold.

With the opening of Pier Park and the city’s intention to further develop the waterfront for the community, council went back to Larco last year to revisit the plan.

Even the revised plan is still a ways away from being realized, Larco’s director of development Art Phillips recently told the NewsLeader.

“Our hope is it’s within the next two or three years,” he said.

The entire site would also be designed to provide flood protection.

The project would be built in three phases, from west to east with conveyance of the park land conditional upon a special development permit being granted for the first tower.

The project is expected to be completed between 2021 and 2023.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Flip the switch

LAST WEEK:

Before jumping all over ICBC for requesting an increase of 5.2 per cent for basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request.

Claims are up – way up – from five years ago.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier.

Legal and medical costs are also up.

And what has happened in the past five years?

Technology.

The ever-growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims.

But why should those of us without cellphones pay more because of the irresponsibility of some of those with them?

Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cellphones, or those who do not use them in their cars.

Of course, something like that would be impossible to monitor.

The real solution is for the automotive industry to rectify the situation.

Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smartphones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged.

Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your house from anywhere now. A disengage switch for smartphones should be a breeze.

Too “Big Brother” for you?

Remember, seatbelts used to be optional; as did motorcycle helmets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it.

Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player.

That’s so 1990.

What did car insurance cost in 1990?

Factory model fading for schools VICTORIA – The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation.

First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away.

Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public

Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca

sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually.

The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-aday payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers.

Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools

LE DER

and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools.

Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age.

Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out. tfletcher@blackpress.ca<

Let’s strengthen, not dismantle the health care system Seven years ago I found out that I had breast cancer.

I had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and many, many doctors appointments.

I was scared, sure, my mom had died from it. But, I was never afraid that I would become homeless, or that my son would go hungry. I didn’t have medical bills to worry about.

That’s because we have a public healthcare system for doctor and hospital care. It’s paid for through taxes, and it ensures that we all get medically necessary doctor and hospital care based on need, not on our individual ability to pay.

We have laws that protect our public healthcare system from those who want to make a profit from our illness and injury.

We don’t have to buy medical insurance for basic medically necessary care like they do in the U.S. Insurance that only covers some of the costs of care. Many people in the U.S. go bankrupt from medical costs, the majority of these have medical insurance. Others just die when they can’t afford to seek medical care.

We don’t want that kind of healthcare system in Canada.

Where those with lots of money buy faster access to healthcare, and the majority get poorer quality care, wait longer, and die more often.

But for-profit surgical clinic owner Brian Day is trying to use our courts to strike down the laws that prevent a U.S.style system in Canada. This court case poses a huge threat.

And it begins in BC Supreme Court this month.

If Dr. Day wins, the public system that people in Canada rely on, and overwhelmingly support, will be further dismantled across the country.

Private hospitals and medical insurance would be allowed, and the public system would be scaled down.

Dr. Day claims the defining principle at the heart of medicare in Canada—that health services be provided according to a patient’s need, not their ability to pay—is unconstitutional. I believe he is saying that a rich person’s right to buy faster care and a doctor’s right to make a profit are more important than an average or poor person’s right to have

quality healthcare.

Evidence shows that the kind of system Dr. Day wants would lead to longer wait times for care and poorer health for most of us. On top of that, there is no evidence that private, for-profit care results in better care—not anywhere in the world.

Are there problems that need to be addressed in our public health care system? Absolutely, and there are many public innovations and efficiencies that can be implemented across the system to decrease wait times where needed and further improve quality of care.

Let’s focus on strengthening our treasured system, rather than replacing it with a U.S.-style system that would ultimately lead to poorer, more expensive care for all of us.

Rachel Tutte New Westminster

First street has changed I was driving home at 3:15 p.m. on Friday, and turned off Sixth Avenue onto First Street.

Behind me was a big “Coors Beer Truck.”

I was driving the park speed limit.

The truck was so close to my rear bumper I felt very intimidated, then ahead I saw the light at Royal Avenue turn green, and I slowed to turn left into my driveway on 100-block First Street.

The truck hit its brakes so hard I heard his load shifting inside, and the driver yelled disgusting profanities at me and said “I know where you live, b---h and stormed to make the green light to do his illegal left turn to get on the Pattullo Bridge.

I called the police. I sat on my front porch for an hour and watched vehicle after vehicle make the illegal left turn.

So often we cannot get out of our driveway because so many backed up vehicles are on our block.

I have witnessed a vehicle jump the curb to avoid hitting a person to race to make the light.

There is a lot of honking at rush hour, because of these illegal rat race turners.

Often we have our dinner on our sundeck only to here drivers yelling at each other and honking.

First Street was a nice scenic

drive to Queen’s Park for visitors and residents not too long ago.

Now it has rat runners with road rage, not safe for children or residents—and especially drivers.

I say remove the light altogether or put a concrete barricade, or speed humps. It’s overdue.

This is what tolling the Port Mann Bridge did to our Royal City.

Professional sports stadiums require paid parking lots, transportation for thousands of fans, restaurants and other businesses. They are better suited for commercially zoned areas with multiple transportation options, such as Hume Park or other venues with the proper infrastructure.

To be financially viable the stadium would have to be leased for a multitude of other events compounding transportation, policing and noise factors in the area. Has anyone considered the cost and legal issues that could arise trying to get 3,000 fans into a stadium in the middle of a residential area and public park? Destruction of our green space and parkland is a high price to pay when other options are available.

Even assuming the mayors and province reach a deal, transit advocates like Price expect a difficult battle for votes against anti-tax opponents of TransLink spending.

Much, he said, will come down to how voters perceive the question.

“If it’s a vote on TransLink, most people think it would be very tough,” Price said. “If it’s a vote on our future, the chances increase – provided the number is palatable, people believe they’re getting value for money and all parts of the region benefit.”

Also essential, he said, is that politicians across the spectrum and right up to the premier support the plan and the Yes campaign.

The poll results also suggest the mayors’ top choice of increasing the carbon tax in Metro to fund their plan over the short time has less support than other options.

Fifteen per cent picked the carbon tax as their preferred revenue source.

In contrast, 27 per cent listed a $75 vehicle levy, another 27 per cent chose tolls of up to $2 on all bridge crossings in the region and 17 per cent picked a regional sales tax of up to one per cent.

According to the Mustel poll, those with good impressions of TransLink most often cited convenient, easy-to-access transit that takes them where they want to go.

VICTORIA – B.C.’s striking teachers will vote today (Wednesday) on the union’s proposal to take their long-running dispute with the province to binding arbitration, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said Monday.

The BCTF is willing to send not only its wage and benefit demands but its proposal for class size and special needs support to an independent arbitrator, Iker said.

The BCTF wants $225 million a year to improve classroom conditions, spent only on new teachers, and the government has budgeted $75 million, some of which is paid to teaching assistants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The B.C. government rejected arbitration on the weekend after it was presented Friday by Iker, as the strike went into a second week of the new school year.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he would not hand the

Horgan said if the government is as secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results.

“We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s time we put an end to it,” Horgan said.

I’ve been at Shannon Oaks for 2 years, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I am the oldest out of 10 siblings; I stayed home to help my mother. I love caring for others. I was a volunteer at different hospitals for many years. What keeps me so youthful is a positive attitude and caring for others.

Call us for your personal tour and stay for a complimentary lunch.

You’ll meet Joan and other Residents just like her who are living life well at Shannon Oaks—a vibrant seniors community.

• Reduce noise • Maintain a routine • Speak slowly, use repetition • Break activities into manageable steps • Distract the person with an activity • Approach slowly from the front at the same eye level • Leave the room for a “time out.” Remember it is the disease, not the person • Avoid arguing or expressing anger or irritation, verbally or non-verbally Hallucinations and paranoia

As the disease progresses, delusions — namely paranoid beliefs or false accusations — may occur.

It is common for people with dementia to believe that their food is poisoned or that their belongings have been stolen.

Others may believe that someone is spying on them or trying to hurt them.

Remember that these

accusations are the result of the disease; they are not willful or intentional.

And although they can be hurtful, try not to take them personally.

It is important not to argue with a person with dementia or try to convince him that his perception is not real.

His perception is part of his own reality; try to accept it and meet him where he is.

Some possible triggers or causes can include: • Sensory changes (hearing and vision diminishes) • Medications or physical illness • Unrecognized environment or caregivers, inadequate lighting • Disruption of routines • Removal of items from the person (e.g. money or jewellery) Some strategies that can help: • Meet with her physician to review medications and get hearing and vision tests.

• Seek medical evaluation for illness, infection, bowel impaction, urinary tract infection etc.

• When she is suspicious, look for lost articles and remind her where valuables are stored. Don’t scold for losing or hiding things and keep a spare set of frequently lost items (if possible). Investigate suspicions that might be true.

• Increase room lighting • Do not directly disagree with a false idea.

• Use physical touch as reassurance.

Next week we’ll talk about keeping the aging mind sharp!

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?

Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment and behavior. This is the finding of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose hearing and

cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end of the study.

How might hearing loss and dementia be connected?

Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly

the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the cause, these findings may offer a starting point for further research as to whether interventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

Province eyes longer school year to offset strike Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year?

Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays?

My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

“If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Monday, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible longterm implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Parents have scrambled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children.

Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are advertising “tutor” services online.

“I work for the Surrey School District and I am willing to tutor your child in

the comfort of your own home,” reads one Craigslist post from an elementary school teacher.

Distance learning through independent online schools is another option.

The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the normal number applications for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the strike.

The online school, which is half funded by the province, instructed 3,400 students in its summer school – three times the normal number – and turned away another 6,000.

Another independent online school based in Surrey declined to comment, saying the issue was “too sensitive.”

strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commitments far in advance.
