Restrict election donations: Mayor Grant Granger

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté believes putting expense limits on municipal election campaigns is a good idea.

A provincial task force recommended establishing spending restrictions for candidates last year.

Another committee is scheduled to look at restricting expenses for organizations and third-party

advertisers this year.

Coun. Bill Harper said campaign finance reform is worth debating so there is clarity to the rules. He said there are many different models that have to be researched before council would agree to any changes to the legislation.

Coté, however, said council should put limits on how much time and energy it spends on the issue because ultimately it won’t be their decision.

New Westminster residents enamoured with the Royal City will get an opportunity to help shape the future of the one they love on Valentine’s Day. The city is in the process of doing an official community plan (OCP) review.

It’s being called Our City Neighbourhood Visioning Process.

And they’ll launch it with a workshop at the Anvil Centre on Saturday Feb. 14, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“My wife was very excited when I told her what I had planned for [Valentine’s Day],” said Mayor Jonathan Coté with a wry smile at a recent city council meeting.

The OCP will look 25 years into New West’s future. The visioning workshop will explore: • The future of neighbourhoods, identifying the heart or hearts of each one, and what’s missing in them.

• How to deal with New West’s growing pains. Urban planning forecasts expect the city to grow to 102,000 to 104,000 people by 2041.

An award honouring a New Westminster transgendered murder victim is being established by her former employer.

Sher Vancouver and friends of January Marie Lapuz have set up a fund to create a youth leadership award in her name.

The 26-year-old Lapuz was found in her home in the 500 block of Third Avenue suffering from multiple stab wounds on Sept. 29, 2012. She died several hours later at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Charles Jameson Neel, 22, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in June 2014 and received an eightyear prison sentence.

In 2009, Lapuz became the first transgendered person on the executive of Sher Vancouver, an organization supporting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered South Asians. The native of Santiago City, Philippines was named the organization’s social coordinator in 2012.

“Being the life of the party, January would make everyone laugh,” said a Sher Vancouver release. “A kind, caring, generous and loyal friend, January was a great singer and dancer. She was known as our very own ‘Beyonce.’

“January had many challenges and struggles as an immigrant, as a person of colour and as a transgender woman living in poverty. Nonetheless, she was a bright light and shining star in Sher Vancouver.”

The release said anyone aged 16 to 30 who has demonstrated involvement, commitment, and leadership in the LGBTQ community can apply for the award. The interest from the fund will be used to give the award recipient a cash prize every January starting in 2016.

• What big moves are needed toward making New Westminster a great city.

City planning director Bev Grieve said the final details are being worked out this week to have an inspirational speaker to kickstart the

conversation in the morning.

An open house on the results of the workshop will be held at the Anvil Centre two weeks later, Saturday, Feb. 28, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The events are the start of a long process that involves doing background research and gathering input for the

first year before a draft of an updated OCP emerges.

To assist in the process, city council has appointed 15 community members and representatives from eight residents associations to an advisory group.

The city will also consult with a variety of other

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Tim Stewart caught this photo of a Cooper’s Hawk devouring a pigeon on the birch tree outside his window in the 700-block of Hamilton Street, New Westminster just before dusk last Sunday.

‘Quite a rare find!’ he says.

The cost of cheap oil As the price of gas hovers around $1 a litre, the prognostications of $2 gas seem like a distant nightmare.

It’s certainly a lot less than the $1.50 a litre we were paying at the pump last summer.

The savings amount to about $30 per month per car, depending on the size of the vehicle. If gas prices stay low, we’ll likely also see savings in other consumer goods as transportation costs ease.

That extra money could find its way into other segments of the economy. Or into bolstering savings accounts and retirement funds battered in recent years by uncertainty and just the high cost of daily living.

But—and there’s always a but —there’s a downside.

Canada is an oil-producing country, and the boon of cheaper oil comes with a price.

On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate to .75 per cent from 1 per cent, the first time its changed that rate since September, 2010. Nobody expected it.

Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz said the move was insurance against the potentially destructive effects of cheap oil.

Poloz didn’t mince words; he said the drop in the price of oil is “unambiguously bad” for Canada’s economy.

Already that’s playing out, as thousands of workers are laid off from the oil fields of Alberta.

Those job losses have hit that province’s real estate and retail sectors, downturns that could quickly spread to neighbouring provinces and beyond.

The drop in oil prices has been matched by the devaluation of the Canadian dollar, which is now at its lowest point compared to the American dollar in five years.

So while pulling up to the gas pump may now put a smile on your face, pay heed to that growing pit in your stomach.

It just goes to prove the old adage; we have to be careful what we wish for.

Queensborough crossing’s storied past Our picturesque neighbourhood of Queensborough is fortunate in having had three historians— Edna Anderson, Helen Pullem and Steve Gatensbury—who all wrote about their beloved dikes, ditches and the old Fraser River swing bridge with undisguised affection.

The original, very narrow swing bridge across the north arm of the Fraser was opened in 1892.

It was operated manually and boasted four brass ornamental dolphins.

William Furnace was hired as the first bridge tender.

In addition to a salary of $500 a year, he was provided with a cottage valued at $500 and the use of five acres of land.

That bridge was demolished in 1911 after a second bridge was opened in 1909.

From the beginning there was conflict between the bridge tenders and the users of the bridge who passed under the bridge or crossed over it.

Don Benson Furness’s job must have been stressful as he was on duty 24 hours a day and constantly accused of opening the bridge either too early or too late.

Queensborough historian and poet laureate Edna Anderson recalled: “Many times our only link to town was severed because river traffic had the right-of-way over road traffic, and four whistles by any boat, always sounding arrogant, caused the bridge to open.

“The bridge tender, from the little house at the centre of the bridge, controlled the swing span.

For many years the key which operated the bridge was kept in the coal box just outside his door.

“There were double iron white

gates which barricaded the road.

They looked like the ends of oldfashioned bedsteads. They were hurriedly closed and fastened before the span was opened.

School boys and other bold pedestrians crawled under and around these barricades to come perilously close to the edge. At night, a red lantern hung on the middle of the gates.

“Some of the older boys played a dangerous game. It took nerves of steel to be the last one to jump onto the moving span before it was too late. One lad was too late and down he went, to be fished out by pike pole by the crew of a passing tug.

“One morning as we were going to high school in town by bus, nine tugs towing booms went through the passage before the span was closed!

As each whistle from another tug was heard, there was wild cheering from the kids, who subscribed to ‘the later the better theory.’ New Westminster school teachers learned not to mark Queensborough students

as absent until later on in the morning.”

Today, the city is planning a low-level pedestrian and bicycle bridge, which will link Queensborough and the Quay.

Basically there are two design options, but both must have a movable centre span to allow river traffic to pass through the gap.

And that causes me to wonder if history will repeat itself.

Will the grandsons of those long-ago daredevils challenge one another to see who can be the last one to jump onto the moving span of the new bridge?

Dollar’s drop to cut into cross-border shopping Loonie languishing below 81 cents after rate cut Jeff Nagel Black Press

The latest plunge in the loonie is making cross-border shopping and travel to the U.S. even more expensive.

The Canadian dollar dove from more than 83 cents U.S. to a low of 80.7 in trading Wednesday after a surprise decision by the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates by 0.25 per cent in a bid to bolster the economy against the effects of falling oil prices.

“It’s going to kill a lot of cross-border shopping, which is exactly what Canadian retailers want,” said SFU business professor Lindsay Meredith, noting the loonie is down nearly

20 per cent from close to par two years ago.

“That’s going to be deadly for Whatcom County because they depend so much on B.C. shoppers.”

He denounced the interest rate move as an attempt by the Harper government to artificially deflate the loonie to prop up Ontario and Quebec manufacturers and “bail out” oil producers, who gain because they sell oil in U.S. dollars but pay most costs in Canadian.

“This is about votes and the next election,” Meredith said.

But he predicted B.C. will also gain because it will help the forest industry sell more lumber to the U.S. “The losers are Canadian consumers. To the extent we buy imported products we get hammered more.”

Fruit and vegetables from California will go up in price due to the currency wing, he predicted, despite lower transportation costs.

Anyone planning a winter getaway to Hawaii or another warm U.S. destination is likely getting anxious about the exchange rate they’ll pay on the money they spend there.

Meredith said some snowbirds may look to other Latin American destinations instead.

Meanwhile, B.C. tourism businesses could blossom if it can tap Americans whose greenback now goes further north of the border.

“It’s wonderful for tourism,” Meredith said.

Help us grow the market

N

ew Westminster is known for its rich history, including a long and proud tradition of farmers markets dating back to the 1800s.

The present-day incarnation, the not-for-profit Royal City Farmers Market, was spearheaded by community activist Andrew Murray.

Its first modest summer season was in 2007, with 16 vendors each week, and a monthly winter market added in 2008.

Since then it’s grown significantly. The summer market, from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays in beautiful Tipperary Park now boasts a roster of about 70 vendors, with 40 coming every week.

The winter market has also expanded to two Saturdays a month from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Each year we see more people come to gather, meet and shop.

We couldn’t operate a successful market without this community.

You contribute to more than $1 million in local revenue, take surveys to tell us what you think, and share our market with your friends and family.

Referendum campaign spending under fire Critics say public money should not be spent on Yes message Jeff Nagel Black Press

budget for the planned information campaign, nor has it determined the source of the money. He said Vancouver, Surrey and New West councils have already voted to provide either cash or in-kind contributions.

The mayors’ council itself may also have some room in its $1-million annual budget that isn’t otherwise spent on meetings, mayors’ pay and consultants.

“For any other public money

required we would probably be looking to TransLink,” Moore said, adding TransLink has an annual communications budget for consultation and advertising initiatives such as route changes.

“They’ve indicated it would come out of that budget not an operational budget.”

He defended the decision to spend public money promoting the tax and the plan to expand service.

Polling indicates residents don’t have enough knowledge of the transit expansion plan and what it will do for each part of the region, he said.

“It’s a requirement of someone – and I think it’s the mayors of this region – to get out there and let people know what’s in this plan and what they’re being asked to pay for,” Moore said.

He said Bateman is “grasping at straws” in trying to block public spending.

Opponents of a new sales tax to expand transit are accusing the provincial government of failing to set any spending limits in the referendum campaign.

No campaigner Jordan Bateman claims the Yes side is poised to spend $4 million in taxpayers’ money without restriction and he’s now urging the Auditor General for Local Government to intervene.

“You have a premier, minister, a ministry, TransLink, the mayors and the NDP – they’re all in the Yes camp and they’re all willing turn a blind eye to this effort to use taxpayers’ money to buy votes to get another tax,” Bateman said.

“It’s banana republic politics.”

The transportation ministry confirmed the government won’t put any spending limits or other restrictions on proponent or opponent groups.

Bateman argues no public money from TransLink, any local cities or the Metro Vancouver regional district be spent to influence the outcome of the vote and that any “educational” advertising first be vetted for neutrality and bias.

He said spending is just one facet of the referendum rules that remain unresolved as the campaign gears up on the plebiscite to create a 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax that would apply only in Metro Vancouver.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said the $4-million estimate was discussed in December but the regional mayors’ council has not yet set any specific

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few.

“While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.”

Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself.

It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed.

Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants!

Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.

Roadworthy I had the opportunity to take the SE 4WD along some logging roads in Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Although they were not rough roads it is certainly nice to know that you could take your family camping knowing you can travel to most locations without experiencing problems because you left the pavement.

The Pilot has variable cylinder management (VCM), which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quietly when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb).

Verdict The 2015 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV and is a real joy to drive.

There is also hill start assist on all models.

Modest home price gains predicted over next four years Central 1 projects two to three per cent increases to 2018 Jeff Nagel Black Press

Housing prices in B.C. should rise modestly this year after stronger gains in 2014, according to a new forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

The association of B.C. credit unions predicts a 2.5 per cent increase in resale home prices in 2015 and similar increases of between two and three per cent out as far as 2018.

Bryan Yu, senior economist with Central 1, sees continued strength in urban real estate markets.

“I think sky-high prices in Greater Vancouver have more

room to grow with little risk of a significant downturn,” Yu said.

One trend he expects to continue is the divergence in price growth between detached houses and multi-family units.

“While condo markets have been soft, with median home values flat since 2010, detached values have surged,” Yu said.

“Single-family housing is increasingly a luxury good detached from income drivers.”

His report predicts home prices in Metro Vancouver will continue to be underpinned by the scarcity of developable land, the growing population and international demand.

It says the collapse in the price of oil will be generally positive for real estate

markets, because it leaves more discretionary money in consumers’ pockets.

But crude’s plunge is painful for Albertans and will restrain their demand for B.C. recreational property in the Interior and Vancouver Island.

The lower Canadian dollar, however, has made real estate here more affordable relative to the rising prices of U.S. homes, the report notes.

Central 1 expects no increase in interest rates until early 2016 but expects five-year rates will average 6.5 per cent in 2018.

“Record-low mortgage rates will not last indefinitely, but will remain low enough to underpin housing market demand this year and next.”

Fright night driver faces five charges A New Westminster man accused of turning Halloween into fright night in Queen’s Park with a dangerous driving spree is facing five charges.

New Westminster police said officers spotted a vehicle driving erratically through the

area while children and families were out trick-or-treating Oct. 31, 2014. The cops weren’t able to stop the vehicle but found it abandoned a short distance away. The NWPD’s operational support unit arrested a man later that evening.

Joonhee Hee Cho, 31, has now been charged with dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, obstruction of a police officer, failing to stop, and driving without a licence. newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Delta Rise lives up to its name…

Raise your expectations: A residential experience where the sky’s the limit The Delta area is moving up and quickly being recognized as a desirable place to live – so why not do it in the sky?

Picture a curving tower that overlooks sprawling views of the Lower Mainland and you will begin to understand why buyers are excited about Delta Rise by Marshall Mountain Homes and ITC Construction Group. At 37 storeys high, it is the tallest tower in North Delta and offers class, convenience and security in an urban environment.

The large decks, expansive outdoor living spaces and oversized windows capitalize on the use of natural light and an airy, open setting. The decks are two to three times the size of a typical high rise, and although the sizes vary on each unit, the large outdoor space is big enough for homeowners to live the life they want.

While inside, the open-concept kitchens come equipped with a stainless steel appliance package and polished quartz countertops, perfect for cooking up a meal and entertaining guests.

Each floor plan is designed with every day needs in mind and come in a variety of configurations in one-, two and three-bedroom plans.

Prices start at $204,900 for the one-bedroom, $242,900 for the twobedroom and the three-bedrooms starting at $412,900 which include two parking spaces!

Beyond the feel of spacious luxury, OTEZS Project Marketing’s Bill Szeto says that Delta Rise offers “lock and go living” that allows homeowners to have a great home, plus safety and security to take vaca-

tions without worrying while they are away.

“There is also one level living, meaning ease of access, no stairs and smart, open floor plans, amazing views that are unobstructed and substantial amenities.”

Some of those on-site amenities include a fitness facility, library, and business workspace including guest wi-fi, an entertainment lounge and theatre. The building also has a rooftop courtyard with a playground, Zen garden and plenty of other green spaces.

However, when it comes to features that make these homes stand out, it’s all about the soaring exteriors.

“There are no other buildings that will have this many suites with incredible views,” says Szeto.

The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of essential services within walking distance, including grocery stores, medical buildings, the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, Sungod Community Centre, restaurants and pubs, shopping centres and schools.

Immediately downstairs, there will also be a few businesses, including a coffee shop.

When you choose Delta Rise, you are choosing to live an upscale life with extra green efforts in a pedestrian-friendly community.

The full 2-bedroom show home is open Monday-Thursday from 1pm - 6pm and on weekends from 12pm - 5pm at 11906 80th Ave Visit the Delta Rise website for more information and housing details: deltarise.ca
