Election 2014: Council candidates discuss economic development Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Tej Kainth went on a nice, little boat tour this past summer that left her confounded about her hometown of New Westminster.

“There were so many different access points in other communities to be able to dock their boat and go off somewhere to eat,” said Kainth.

But New West doesn’t have one, even though the Fraser River runs along its Downtown and Sapperton business districts.

A marina is something the first-time candidate for city council in the Nov. 15 civic election believes might bolster economic development in New Westminster.

It’s not a new idea. Mayor Wayne Wright has been touting it for years, and he’s dusted it off for this

campaign as well.

“There’s ideas out there that we need to explore as a city.

I feel we’re building some great development around the waterfront, but there’s also some great opportunity for leisure travelers to stop and check out the River Market and [New Westminster],” said Kainth, executive director of Tourism New Westminster. “We’re missing some folks that would love to spend some

dollars in our local economy.”

Despite no dock, Kainth said New Westminster’s economy has been getting stronger in recent years.

“There are a lot more entrepreneurs looking at New Westminster, wanting to open up their services here. We’re attracting innovative people,” said Kainth.

And she says New Westminster’s economic development office could be stronger in bringing in new industry.

TransLink will do 16 months of overnight construction at New Westminster SkyTrain station.

City council has approved TransLink’s request for an exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw to do improvements to the station between January 2015 and April 30, 2016. The exemption was needed in order to reduce the impact on SkyTrain while it is in service.

A report to council said bringing in equipment to install material over the tracks or next to them can only be done while the trains aren’t operating—between 1 and 5 a.m.

To mitigate the impact of the night work, TransLink’s contractor will identify the activities that produce the most noise and schedule them during the day whenever possible.

They would also minimize the use of heavy equipment at night and have contractors use procedures that have the least impact on residents such as using welding torches rather than welding saws.

TransLink said the upgrades are expected to improve the station’s acoustics, security, pedestrian flow and aesthetics. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Exclusive haunt now inclusive haven Non-profit opens up new office in old Westminster Club space Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

What was once a swank sanctuary for New Westminster’s elite has been transformed into a bright, welcoming oasis of support for developmentally disabled people.

The Community Living Society (CLS) opened its new offices on the top floor of the Westminster building on Tuesday. The seventhfloor had been where the venerable Westminster Club had resided for a century.

But last year the club was in such dire financial straits a court ordered the property sold to CLS, the lone bidder, for $1.315 million.

CLS, which has 500 employees serving 300 clients in 11 municipalities, wanted the space for a couple of reasons. The location they’d occupied in Burnaby for five years across from city hall was nowhere near a SkyTrain

line. They’d been in Metrotown prior to that and their clients and employees missed the easy access.

“What’s really nice about this is it’s right in the heart of the community. Burnaby was a good office but it was not in the heart of the community,” said CLS executive director Ross Chilton during a tour of the renovated facility.

Gone is the Westminster Club’s dark wood paneling, and the renovated space capitalizes on the natural light and views with its white walls and glass partitions.

“We wanted to take advantage of the views because they’re great views,” said Chilton.

Buying their own place and renovating it actually made financial sense to CLS, which was formed in the late 1970s by the Woodlands Parents Group.

For one, leasing rates near SkyTrain stations were sky high.

The society’s mortgage payments will be less than their lease payments

the high cost of leasing is squeezing non-profits out of Vancouver. “We’re lucky to be in such a great spot.”

Chilton said only the small library area was retained from the Westminster Club. He said local historian Archie Miller determined the nook was the only spot not significantly modified during an update in the 1980s. Although it was updated with a gas fireplace and lights, the original wood in the library was retained. So were some other features like the long, wooden clips that held the newspapers of the day.

The 7,500-square-foot space includes a training room with cutting-edge technology, a personal care room, workstations for the clients and a boardroom.

The wall beside the reception area showcases artwork by their clients.

Down the hall is a wall of photographs of their smiling clients.

Chilton said the meeting spaces are available to the community and other nonprofit organizations.

Hub gets extended hours; Puchmayr says unfair Dissenting councillors says approval not fair way to treat businesses Grant Granger

A New Westminster restaurant is being allowed to stay open later, even though a city councillor calls the decision unfair.

But Coun. Jonathan Coté

said council approved a similar request from Browns Social House in Sapperton.

“The restaurant on Columbia (Stefanos) had more problems than what’s involved in this application,” said Coté.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said Stefanos had neighbourhood noise issues and there were letters from the community opposing the extended opening.

In Hub’s case, no comments either supporting or opposing the extension were submitted. A sign about the application was posted

Attracting business to New West continued from FRONT

“We do need to be able to attract some other sectors such as health care and technology, and continue to build on the tourism industry,” she said. “We need to be able to attract a stronger mix of KAINTH businesses in certain areas of the city … We’re not there yet.

There’s still a lot more work to do.”

Coun. Bill Harper, chair of the city’s economic development committee, believes New Westminster has done a lot of work already in creating economic development. He believes council has done things to make the main business corridors like Twelfth Street, Columbia Street and Sapperton more enticing.

“We’ve put infrastructure under them to be more lively and more lit to attract more business to the street,” said Harper.

Developments like the Brewery District and the Shops at New West Station have brought retail outlets and offices into New Westminster, bolstering city coffers, he said. And he figures

“It will be a magnet for businesses to relocate,” said Harper. “I think we’ve got a huge brain trust that will drive this program forward for us.

It’s amazing, I’m quite buoyed by it. People don’t understand it’s the future … It’s the kind of thing that will turn us into a smart city.”

John Ashdown doesn’t think New Westminster has been all that smart about economic development, especially when it comes to small businesses.

“We really have a problem ASHDOWN with taxes,” said Ashdown, who came in 10th in the 2011 civic election for council. “Businesses are paying the highest taxes in the Lower Mainland.”

The former West End Business Association president said he’d work toward making the city more financially efficient so business taxes can be reduced. He also believes the city should be screening business licence applicants and not be painting a false picture.

“Just help them get off and running. You don’t have to babysit them, but help them get off the ground,” said Ashdown.

that will get even better when Sapperton Green is developed.

“The tax base for the city and the jobs on the street in restaurants and shops are all there,” said Harper.

New Westminster has lost a lot of its industrial base over the last couple of decades. But Harper maintains it’s being replaced. For instance, the old Interfor site now has a new, huge warehouse on it beside a big Lowe’s home improvement centre and a new Value Village.

“The number of business licences have doubled in the last 10 years.

The city is really generating its fair share of economic development,” HARPER said Harper.

He’s also a big backer of the Intelligent City.

He co-chairs a city committee on the concept with New West resident Michael Hrybyk, president and CEO of BCNet. New Westminster, Harper said, has already laid 17 kilometres of fibre optic cable. And there’s more to come. Every time the city opens up a street to replace infrastructure it is adding the conduit for super-fast access to the information highway.

Police said the victim’s last known address was Vancouver but had been staying in New Westminster. He has since

been released from hospital.

No arrest had been made as of Monday.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Seeing the light

LAST WEEK:

Daylight saving time ended on the weekend.

Hopefully you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep.

It will serve you well.

Because for the coming winter months you’ll have to be extra vigilant on the road. Whether you’re driving a vehicle, riding a bike or walking the sidewalks.

That’s because the dark, rainy months of the West Coast winter are some of the deadliest for pedestrians.

With darkness now descending just as the afternoon rush hour peaks and lingering through most of the morning commute, it’s harder and harder to see people crossing the road, bolting out from between parked cars. Add to that the seemingly endless rain that lashes us from mid-October through February, and it’s a recipe for tragedy waiting to happen.

A 2012 report by the City of Vancouver said nearly half of all pedestrian fatalities in the city occur in January and February.

There are about 250 pedestrian collisions a month from November through January.

Education and enforcement campaigns are helping reduce those numbers.

But it’s common sense that will most likely keep you from joining those statistics.

Drivers need to be alert. That means minimizing distractions, electronic or otherwise, when they’re behind the wheel.

Travel at sensible speeds, leave plenty of room to stop or take evasive action, and know your route.

Pedestrians should wear bright clothing, or attach reflective strips.

They should cross at marked, preferably lit, crosswalks, and not jaywalk where drivers may not expect to suddenly see them.

They should never take for granted that every driver can see them.

Nobody enjoys going out on dark, rainy nights. But a little forethought will ensure you see the next morning’s dawn light.

omehow, for so many, Canada seemed beyond the reach, or even interest, of Islamic extremist terrorists.

We sat secure and perhaps just a little smug behind our porous borders, and offered sympathy and, in some cases, self-righteous judgment, as our U.S. neighbours writhed in shock and grief after a group of terrorists flew jet airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing thousands.

We watched television reports of subway bombings in Britain and terrorist acts in France.

We sent our soldiers to Afghanistan, where they fought alongside Americans to stem the fundamentalist Taliban tide.

With detachment, we followed the civil war in Syria, and with varying degrees of understanding or disinterest, watched it birth an entity that matched and eclipsed the brutal violence of al-Qaeda, responsible for the 9/11 attack.

Also driven by extremely twisted interpretations of their religion, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, poses the intensely dangerous threat of destabilizing

Andrew holota the entre Middle East, and exporting its extremist visions around the globe.

The Harper government recently decided – and rightly so – to send Canadian F-18 combat aircraft to join the coalition currently bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria in a long-term attempt to blunt their advances and agendas.

Through it all, most Canadians went about their daily business, some unaware, others simply unconcerned.

This is Canada after all, home of the wonderfully free and mildly naive.

And then a young man, apparently inspired by the online urgings of an Islamic fundamentalist recruiter, “martyred” himself by driving his car at two Canadian soldiers

on a street in Quebec, killing one of them. The assailant was later slain by police.

Two days later, the shock waves went to the core of the country from coast to coast, as a gunman fatally shot a soldier standing sentry at the National War Memorial near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The assailant then went into the Parliament buildings, where multiple shots were fired, and he was eventually gunned down by the sergeant-at-arms.

Early indications are that he too was a subject of extremist Islamic indoctrination.

He chose, or perhaps was instructed, to strike at one of the most prominent symbols of Canadian identity.

We can consider Canada to be on the list of nations of nonbelievers in the twisted minds of those who mangle their faith in justification of atrocious acts of violence and attempted dominance.

How terribly ironic that the soldiers who died in these incidents joined the forces to protect the very freedoms that are being abused by terrorists

who live in this country, believe as they wish, and teach their evil in gatherings and via the Internet and social media.

That’s the truly unsettling factor in this.

These individuals did not arrive in this country mere days or even months ago, foreign imported killers bent on violence.

They grew up in our cities and towns. They may have received their indoctrination in the country, or from online sources from anywhere in the world.

Regardless, Canada has homegrown terrorists.

How many more are out there?

Canadian laws don’t permit law enforcers to arrest and detain for an indeterminate time anyone who merely talks about religious extremism, or even openly supports it.

This is, after all, a free country.

Now the acutely difficult challenge is to preserve it, from within.

COMMENT

City is Wright on course It would be to our benefit to re-elect Mayor Wright to continue to run this beautiful city. Charismatic and kind, he is also a man of extraordinary vision.

His work ethic and energy are insurmountable. He has also garnered valuable relationships that none other has done before him. With his excellent communication skills we can be proud and honoured to have him as a mayor to speak on behalf of the City of New Westminster.

Economic development and the tax base have never been better and continue to grow in New Westminster. Many new young families have relocated to this community as it is offers high-quality family amenities that are still affordable.

Through his experience, Mayor Wright can attract new business, more light industry and diverse housing to New Westminster where a newcomer would struggle with a steep learning curve.

PROPOSAL DOESN’T RESPECT AREA’S NEEDS

also not respectful to the city.

This project does not respect the past, present or future of New Westminster, as well as the neighbours and the residents of the building being poorly treated and disrespected throughout the process.

For all of those reasons, it should not be approved. There are other more appropriate sites elsewhere, so it is only reasonable to ask Urban Academy to withdraw its proposal, find a more appropriate site and pass on the site to reasonable owners for both Robson Manor and the adjacent residential complex.

Ken Wilkinson —online comment newwestnewsleader.com

A WARNING TO OUR NEIGHBOURS New Westminster’s traffic issues are about to spill over, in a big way, into Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver. The mayoral candidate and SFU student, Jonathan Coté is using his Masters paper in Urban Studies to change your city.

Jonathan is the latest protégé of the New Westminster District Labour Council (NWDLC) and he has an agenda. At a recent COPE 378 October executive meeting, Coté as a guest speaker was noted as saying his “goals for New West include showing other municipalities and levels of government that local governments can implement progressive ideas and policies that make a difference.”

For the unaware, traffic is New Westminster’s biggest issue and Coté is the co-chair of the city’s master transportation plan committee.

The city has been fighting

with Coquitlam, Surrey and TransLink over traffic movement through New West.

Where several New West candidates have a savvy approach to building relationships and consensus with our neighbours, Jonathan and the NWDLC candidates are preparing for a lockdown of New West with respect to traffic.

The NWDLC in New West wants to create a dilemma for Metro Vancouver, by inducing mayhem on surrounding municipalities.

WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY Re: Scant interest in (human) Ebola victims (Column, NewsLeader, Oct. 17) Frank Bucholtz’s has rightly called us out for our insensitivity.

While Ebola is wreaking havoc with the lives in Africa we are worried and wasting our energies about saving a dog which had every possibility of being infected by his or her owner.

It is not the question of killing of an animal (though not a confirmed carrier of virus) but preventing of the onslaught of a deadly virus bound to kill hundred thousands more poor as well as rich, if our approach lacks required seriousness.

Labour Council ‘slate’ officially announced The New Westminster and District Labour Council (NWDLC) made official last week what many in New West already knew.

The NWDLC released the list of municipal election candidates it is endorsing for cities in its region, including New Westminster, Thursday.

It will back Jonathan Coté in his bid to unseat four-term incumbent Mayor Wayne Wright.

It is also endorsing a full slate of six for council. They include current councillors Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Williams along with first-time candidates Patrick Johnstone and Mary Trentadue.

Although there are seven trustee seats available for the board of education, the council is supporting five candidates. The endorsement list includes current

board chair Jonina Campbell and long-time incumbent trustees Michael Ewen and James Janzen.

The council is also endorsing campaign newcomers Kelly Slade-Kerr and Mark Gifford.

The NWDLC endorsed candidates in 10 other Lower Mainland communities from Burnaby to Langley.

the Nov. 15 election. The first all-candidates meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 5, 7 p.m.—for school trustee candidates only.

It’s being sponsored by the New Westminster District Parent Advisory Council and will be held in the New Westminster secondary library.

A mayoral and council allcandidates meeting put on by the Moody Park Residents Association will be held at the New Westminster Evangelical Free Church, Tenth Avenue and Canada Way, on Monday, Nov. 10. It will run from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and will be broadcast over the Internet at www.NewWest.tv.

All-candidates playdate Two New Westminster moms are organizing what they’re calling a family-friendly board of education all-candidates playdate.

Parents can listen to the candidates while their children play at the Fraser River Discovery Centre on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 10 a.m.

The event will have the candidates each do a one-minute stump speech before going into a 40-minute question-and-answer session moderated by Briana Tomkinson and Natalie Lawy, the event’s organizers. Candidates will

then be available for an hour to mingle with the parents over free coffee and tea.

“It’s hard for parents to take time out to attend all-candidates events in the evenings—especially if you have to pay for a sitter,” said Tomkinson.

Childcare won’t be provided but children are free to explore and participate in the many activities in the centre’s lower gallery during the event.

Setting it straight A sentence in an Oct. 29 NewsLeader election issue article incorrectly stated mayoral candidate James Crosty thought the pace of development in New Westminster was too fast.

CIVICELECTION2014 Mayoral candidates in focus

Following are responses to a survey from the NewsLeader given to all candidates for mayor.

JONATHAN X. COTE

JAMES CROSTY

VLADIMIR KRASNOGOR

WAYNE WRIGHT

Profession Entrepreneur Political Experience/ Community Involvement I ran for mayor in 2011 CROSTY obtaining 30 per cent support from voters. My history of involvement goes back to 1990 with regard to the size of Buchanan Lodge and the destruction of the historic building. I restarted the Sapperton Residents Association and Sapperton Days.

I was a founding director of Quayside Community Board. I have been a citizen advocate to reduce property assessments, organize petitions on city borrowing by-laws, coal exports from Fraser Surrey Docks, rail noise and vibration, the loss of parkland and business taxation in this city.

Why are you running?

It is time for fresh perspectives, communication and full disclosure.

Voters are troubled by this power of special interest endorsements. I will bring a fresh approach to traffic, continued development, protecting the environment and to lowering taxes. Together we will build our city with a friendly transportation system providing affordable confidence to citizens without falling behind.

Twitter: @crosty.ca Facebook: http://facebook.com/ CROSTYca Website: www.crosty.ca

Profession Electrical Engineer, Tax Professional Political Experience/ Community Involvement KRASNOGOR New Westminster Environmental Partners, Brow of the Hill Residents Association, New Westminster Heritage Grant Advisory Committee.

Why are you running?

New Westminster is facing serious issues: traffic, taxation, municipal pay, accountability of city government, spending that makes us second-biggest spender in the region. But no realistic solutions have been found.

These issues require innovative, practical solutions. We will cooperate with all stakeholders regarding our traffic problems. We will give a tax break to city businesses without raising residential taxes.

We will get logic into selecting development projects, so expensive pet projects do not take priority over necessary facilities. We will get legislative protection for Queen’s Park. The city will provide every help possible to get new NWSS building started.

What are the key issues?

Mayor and council’s inability to resolve any city issues without raising taxes Twitter: @votekras Facebook: /www.facebook.com/votekras Website: www.votekras.ca

Profession Mayor Political Experience/ Community Involvement Twelve years mayor.

WRIGHT Why are you running?

I am honoured to lead this city. It takes skill and experience to lead within a local government. The knowledge I’ve gained as your mayor over the past 12 years, has helped guide a new vision for our city.

There is much more to do. It’s my goal to continue our work building a successful municipality, one that will be THE choice for people to live, raise a family and grow their business.

Today, I am proud to have the respect and support of all mayors in the Lower Mainland as demonstrated by their confidence in me to act as vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council. I also serve as their representative on the TransLink board.

These positions allow me to represent New Westminster in key leadership roles that have an impact on our city’s important transportation and livability issues.

What are the key issues?

Transportation / Transparency/ Economic Devlopement / Independent Leadership Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ votewaynewright Website: votewaynewright.ca

Profession City Councillor/ Litigation Adjuster Political Experience/ Community Involvement COTÉ I’ve served nine years on New Westminster City Council, and have chaired a number of committees including Parks and Recreation and Master Transportation Plan task force.

I’ve also recently completed the Urban Studies Masters Program at SFU. Why are you running?

I love our city and am passionate about city building. This is a great city facing some complex and challenging issues; from transportation to affordable housing, sustainable development to community services and amenities. We need effective and inclusive leadership to take our community forward. I have spearheaded important initiatives on transportation planning and the development of parks and recreation facilities. It’s time for our city to take its next big step. It’s time for new leadership. I have the experience, the passion and the knowledge to lead New Westminster into the future.

What are the key issues?

I believe addressing our transportation issues and building a strong local economy are the key issues in this election.

Profession Vice-Principal Political Experience/Community Involvement Rookie ARMSTRONG Why are you running?

Our challenge is to prepare the citizens of tomorrow. I know how to get things done and I want to involve the students in the decision making process. Furthermore, I want to partner with you and advocate for increased public school funding. With my leadership we will expedite the construction of a new high school and bring cutting edge technologies into the classrooms.

Let me be the voice for you at the board and we can make this district the premier district in the province.

We’ll attract and keep excellent staff and work together to provide the best education and tailored for every student. I must emphasize the importance of building the trust of the community and then the rest will surely follow. If you elect me to the board I will always strive to make program decisions in the best interests of our students.

What are the key issues?

Glen plans to make program decisions in the best interests of the students, create strategies to ensure a better future in the district and advocate for increased public school funding. Other items at the top of his list include prioritizing student achievement and well-being, expediting the construction of a new high school and upgrading technology.

Profession Retired jack-of-all trades who worked at Scott Paper, drove truck among other things.

Political Experience/ BELL Community Involvement No political experience: “I’m not a politician.”

He says he can’t remember how long he’s lived in New West, but he was too busy helping bring up 10 children to get involved in the community.

Why are you running?

“I’m interested in the facts.”

He’s also concerned the school board has bungled the process for getting a new high school built.

He says his main reason for running is to get the city a new high school, or two. He’d like the replacement for NWSS built at the site of City Hall, with its offices moved to the new Anvil Centre.

He says the City Hall site would be ideal for a replacement for NWSS as it’s close to Douglas College which would allow students to take college courses while they’re still at high school.

It’s also handy to a lot of amenities like parks and sports facilities at Queen’s Park.

He’d also like an additional high school built in Queensborough “to limit bus trips.”

He also wants air quality tested regularly at school sites.

CORT RAY CALDWELL

Profession Food Sensitivity & New Media Consultant Political Experience/ Community Involvement CALDWELL · Aide/Volunteer on 6 election campaigns. · Independent Candidate, Mayor of Vancouver. Finished 5 of 11 in 1999. · Founding VP - Ft McMurray Liberal Riding Association. · Former Provincial Internal Secretary: SYLO. · Former VP (Communications), U of Sask Liberals. · Former Cat’s Cradle cat foster home. · Volunteer 24 Hour Relay for the Kids. · Volunteer: Heineken Cup Easter Seals Regatta. · Law Degree including: Civil Procedure, Labour Law, Municipal Law. Why are you running?

My desire to be involved stems from a passion for public education that began before I was in Kindergarten, witnessing my mom raise us—two small children—on assistance, in subsidized housing. She kept food on the table... a table crowded with her boys, and her homework as she went back to school for her high school diploma.

Progress on a new secondary school is essential, but it is only the most visible issue in the election.

The finances of SD40 can’t be ignored. We must have transparency to restore the public faith in the School Board. I also want to promote special needs awareness, and ensuring we do all we can to maintain inclusive learning environments, while increasing allergy and diversity awareness. I am gluten and dairy intolerant, myself.

I have served on several civic committees such as the Master Transportation Plan, Parks and Recreation, Healthy Community Partnerships, Youth Advisory Council and the Intelligent Cities Advisory Council. I also coach two youth basketball teams.

Why are you running?

New Westminster is an excellent school district with a bright future. I am running for school board because I want to be part of a team that improves student achievement: building our capacity to meet the needs of EACH student; treating all individuals with respect and dignity; investing in technology; and working with students, staff and parents to make School District 40 a leader in the province.

What are the key issues?

CIVICELECTION2014 Trustee candidates in focus CASEY COOK

MICHAEL EWEN

MARK GIFFORD

JAMES JANZEN

Profession Civic Administrator (retired). Commissioner, Western Lacrosse Association COOK Political Experience/ Community Involvement School Trustee 2008-present. City Councillor 1993-2005.

Why are you running?

This past year the Board of Education has seen incredible progress, attributable largely to new Superintendent John Gaiptman. It’s counterproductive to dwell on the previous dysfunction, but in short, the Board failed students, families, staff and the community. While there’s still progress to be made, the Board now focuses on its mandate, works collaboratively, guided by a sense of ethics.

The educational, social and emotional needs of all of our students now truly lie at the heart of our deliberations. I am committed to completing the Capital Plan, replacing the High School, and providing safe, healthy and clean schools.

What are the key issues?

Restoring trust and faith of the community back in the school board; complete the high school; provide competent financial management advocate for additional resources.

Twitter: caseycook_nw Website: caseycook.ca

Profession Teacher Political Experience/ Community Involvement Current School Trustee, EWEN active member New Westminster NDP. Why are you running?

These are perilous times for public education. Chronic underfunding and attacks on public education have left the system struggling. I have a proven record of standing up for public education and fighting for the resources our students need. We must fight for fully funded public education because I believe every child can learn. I am also a teacher who has witnessed firsthand the deterioration in public education over the past 12 years.

My family has lived in New Westminster for five generations. My wife Leanne and I have had two children who have graduated from New Westminster School District programs. My first priority is to continue to work with the province to to build a replacement high school.

What are the key issues?

(1) Completing a new NWSS, (2) Protecting and improving public education, (3) Providing the services and programs our children need Twitter: @msewen Website: www.michaelewen.ca

Profession Director, Grants and Community Initiatives, Vancouver Foundation Political Experience/ GIFFORD Community Involvement I’ve spent my volunteer, academic and professional career in service to creating positive change with young people, families and communities.

Why are you running?

Students and families deserve trustees who share a passion for public education and success of all young people; a capacity to listen and engage different points of view; an offer of strong values, knowledge and relationships; and a track record of finding solutions to tough challenges.

What are the key issues?

1). Build a new high school. 2).

Strengthen public trust and confidence in ability of district leadership to listen to and engage stakeholders, nurture a long-term vision, and make good, evidence-based decisions in the short-to-medium term 3).

In the context of chronic underfunding, deliver a public education system striving to meet the learning needs of each student, that offers a effective voice on issues that impact our district.

Twitter: @contactgifford Website: www.markgifford.ca

Profession Library Clerk Political Experience/ Community Involvement I am a long-time member JANZEN of the school board.

Why are you running?

I believe in the value of public education.

Public schools take in all children and give them much more than a place to learn, for many children it is a place to be safe, a place where people care and place where they are important. I believe parents and children need choices and I have fought for many diverse programs such as French Immersion and Montessori and programs like RECAP, Sigma and POWER for teens who face unimaginable challenges in their lives.

What are the key issues?

1). Replacing NWSS. This is long overdue and we need to put pressure on the provincial government to provide the funding now. 2). Protecting and improving support for special needs students. 3).

Maintaining our programs of choice, and expanding them if there is space and money. We know there is a demand. 4).

Building and maintaining trust in the community, particularly in the area of budgets.

We worked hard to reduce homelessness in our city by 55%.

JEREMY PERRY

Profession Member of the unpaid workforce Political Experience/Community Involvement Serving first term as trustee with MORTENSEN the board of education.

Why are you running?

I have been and will continue to be a strong voice in advocating for additional funding and resources. I promised and delivered in increasing transparency and accountability of our board.

There is work yet to do. I would like to restore the community’s trust, respect and faith in the board. I am most proud of the turnaround of our finances to putting $1.4 million back into classrooms this year, policies that focus on financial management and planning, strengthening inclusivity in our schools. The replacement of NWSS remains top priority.

What are the key issues?

1. Restoring trust, faith and respect in the board of education 2. Completion of the district’s capital project: NWSS 3. Advocating for additional resources and funding for our students.

Profession Employee Benefits Consultant Political Experience/Community Involvement I serve on the Rotary board, am PERRY president of New West Pride and on the KidSport New West board.

Why are you running?

From KidSport New West to Rotary to Pride, I work hard to inspire change and bring positive outcomes to the world. This is why I want to represent you on our school board.

I believe youth need a stronger voice in their future, and want to see the board implementing a student trustee position so our youth can influence their own education.

Everyone agrees that need to build a new high school but we cannot ignore the students currently at NWSS. We need to ensure it is a safe environment with the technological capabilities to foster a strong learning environment.

What are the key issues?

The biggest issue is the high school. It needs to be painted and looked after while we work to get the funding released to have a new one built.

Why are you running?

I am running for school board trustee because I believe being a parent of four children I am able to represent the views and concerns of parents in our district.

What are the key issues?

Increase support and tools in the classroom.

Complete the capital plan NWSS. I will advocate for more funding for public education. Explore ways to increase capacity in programs of choice.

Expand breakfast and lunch programs to all schools. Work within our budgets to make our district fiscally responsible. Increase the use of technology Twitter: @jamespepa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/james. pepa.58 Website: www.jamespepa.com

Why are you running?

Our district has started a rebuilding process over the last year but we have more to do and must be vigilant in ensuring the recent changes become part of the culture. A broader range of skills and perspectives on our board would be an asset. I am a practising lawyer trained to advocate, explore various interests, and create solutions to move projects and ideas forward. I am also passionate about public education and concerned about the state of education funding in B.C. We need courageous advocates for our students and for our district.

What are the key issues?

The key issue in the school board election is replacement of the high school. While the project has been a priority for a number of years, residents want it to be an urgent priority.

Residents are also concerned about financial management and ensuring we have strong, proactive leadership.

Looking up to the future

New West wants grant to help it become dementia-friendly

Guidelines for tall towers in Downtown New Westminster being developed

Grant Granger

Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Some might say it’s too late, but the City of New Westminster plans to draw up guidelines for the appearance of new towers in its Downtown.

A comprehensive set of design guidelines is being developed for tall buildings in the Downtown—what would be a toolkit for proponents, developers and city staff when putting projects together.

They’d focus on building form, massing, character and scale. They would also deal with the open spaces surrounding the towers.

The eventual goal, said a city report, is to develop a consensus on the future character of the Downtown.

“With the number of projects going through the

development process, the opportunity is now to develop policy to guide proponents and developers towards achieving the city’s vision of a vibrant, waterfront community,” the report states.

The toolkit is an extension of the eight design principles for iconic towers the city started to develop almost a year ago. They set standards of good design intended to stand the test of time and create iconic buildings that will be city landmarks.

The principles include towers being slender, sleek, clean, contemporary and contributing to the strength and beauty of the city’s skyline.

“A beautiful skyline is often considered a city’s ‘face’ and is easily identifiable, such as with the New York City skyline.

Given new Westminster’s sloped terrain, the location and design of the city’s tallest and most prominent buildings is key to creating a distinctive

urban skyline that also enhances the city’s spectacular views of the river and the vista beyond. Careful design of buildings in locations that mark the entry into the city would also help to create an attractive ‘sense of arrival’ into New Westminster,” said the report.

The report pointed to similar policies developed by Vancouver and Toronto that helped to shape their skylines.

While the initial toolkit will apply to the Downtown the city is also looking to extend similar guidelines to other neighbourhoods in the future.

The report estimated the design guidelines would be ready for adoption by council by late 2015 or early 2016.

The report estimated the cost of developing the guidelines at $40,000. The price tag would include hiring a consultant trained in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and graphic design.

Today, Stark said, about 940 people in New West are living with There are about 900 people with dementia—a number projected dementia in New Westminster, a to double by 2034. But he noted number expected to double within that number has likely been the next 20 years. underestimated because many With this in mind, City Hall cases go undiagnosed. wants to develop an action If the city receives a full plan to ensure this city is grant of $20,000, $17,000 of dementia-friendly. it would be used to retain a On Oct. 27, city council consultant to coordinate the chose to pursue a grant work.

New Westminster running back Trew Dancey, with help from Sammy Sidhu (10) en route to a 200-yard-plus, two touchdown performance as the Hyacks junior varsity team defeated Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 49-20 at Mercer Stadium last Thursday.

Sun Devils handle Hyacks When the New Westminster Hyacks returned home from Tsawwassen Saturday their disposition was nowhere near as sunny as the skies above.

That’s because the South Delta Sun Devils had defeated the Hyacks 37-15. That meant New West finished play in the Western Conference with a 4-3 record heading into the playoffs.

The Hyacks had hung in with the No. 4-ranked Sun Devils in the early going. South Delta led 7-0 after the first quarter thanks to a long drive where the Sun Devils converted three times on fourth down, twice on penalties taken by New West.

Julian Ramirez’s five-yard, second-quarter touchdown run tied the game 7-7 in the second quarter before South Delta scored a TD late in the half to lead 14-7.

Mackenzie Ratcliffe connected on a 45-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Musgrove early in the fourth quarter for New West’s other points.

“You have to give South Delta credit,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “They have a number of playmakers at receiver and executed at a high level. Unfortunately we didn’t help ourselves much on both sides of the ball. Too many penalties on offence and too many missed tackles on defence.”

NWSS has this weekend off before the playoffs start the following week.

“We’ll still get to host a game and believe that our best football is still in front of us,” said Lalji.

• It was much better news for the junior varsity team which won its first outright conference title (they have shared three previously) by going 8-0 after defeating the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers from Surrey 49-20 last Thursday.

Trew Dancey, who is in Grade 9, had more than 200 yards rushing, including touchdown runs of 56 and 65 yards. Josh Olango opened the scoring with a 50-yard TD run while other rushing touchdowns came from Alan Darby (11 yards), Sammy Sidhu (eight), David Arciagao (four) and Lucas Sabau (one). Sidhu and Sabau’s scores were set up by runs of 32 and 38 yards by Dancey.

The JVs aren’t scheduled to officially play again until the quarter-finals at Mercer Stadium Nov. 20.
