Charges laid in Columbia Square stabbing NWPD arrest two Richmond men, youth

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

A transit user chats with New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté and Coun. Bill Harper at the New Westminster SkyTrain station on Monday. Members of New West council were at the city’s SkyTrain stations handing out flyers supporting a plebiscite for a regional sales tax to help pay for more transit services. See story A3.

Name change not on TransLink radar City council wants new moniker for New West station Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

What’s in a name?

Apparently a lot to New Westminster city council. But not a lot to TransLink. At least not a lot in the opinion of several councillors.

On March 2, council got an update on TransLink’s upgrades to the New Westminster SkyTrain station. While

it discussed improved acoustics, security, pedestrian flow, aesthetics and a bunch of other changes in the works, council wanted to talk about its name. They figure while TransLink is changing things up they might as well give it a new moniker for the automated voice system to bleat as the SkyTrain comes to a halt.

Mayor Jonathan Coté pointed out when the Expo Line was first built the New Westminster station was its last stop, so the name was appropriate. But with New West

now having five stations, including another one Downtown and also on Columbia Street, it’s time for a change, he said.

Coun. Lorrie Williams said the station names are confusing to people not living in New West.

She suggested they be called New Westminster-Eighth Street and Columbia-Fourth Street. Coté thought those were too generic.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr and Coun.

Jaimie McEvoy suggested Anvil Centre could be incorporated into

the station’s name since the new civic centre is across the street.

Others threw out including Hyack Square, Downtown and even Wait For Me Daddy in the name.

But a report to council said TransLink has told the city a name change is outside the scope of the update project, along with other issues such as noise impacts outside the station, directional signage, lockers or parking for cyclists and more seating for waiting passengers.

Charges have been laid against two Richmond men and a youth in connection with a Jan. 30 mid-afternoon stabbing incident at New Westminster’s Columbia Square mall parking lot.

After the incident, the victim stumbled to the nearby New Westminster school district offices for help. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries but later released.

The suspects got away before police arrived, but New Westminster’s major crime unit made three arrests on Tuesday.

New Westminster police say Muzaffer Darwiash, 25, and Zahir Darwiash, 23, of Richmond have both been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous person.

A minor has also been charged with aggravated assault.

Police said all three remain in custody awaiting their next court appearance. ggranger@ newwestnewsleader.com

New poll finds strong lead for No side Yes support slips to 33 per cent, No rises to 55 per cent

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr campaigns for the Yes side in the upcoming transit funding plebiscite. All city council members were at the city’s SkyTrain stations on Monday handing out flyers.

Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new poll gives the No campaign a growing advantage in the transit and transportation referendum a week before ballots are to be mailed out.

The Insights West online survey found 55 per cent of Metro Vancouver voters definitely or probably will vote No, compared to 33 per cent definite or probable Yes voters.

That’s a two-point gain for the No side and a five-point drop in Yes support since a previous poll in February.

About 11 per cent of respondents were undecided as to whether they will support the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transit upgrades.

Opposition is strongest among older and middle-aged voters, as well as men and those who drive.

Not even a majority of regular transit users now intend to vote Yes – support in that group fell to 46 per cent.

“Over the past month, the animosity from drivers to the proposed funding structure for transit improvements has hardened,” Insights West vice-president

MARIO BARTEL NEWSLEADER

Mario Canseco said. “But even among transit riders, who conceivably stand to benefit directly from the transportation plan, the level of support for Yes has dropped consistently every month.”

Support is highest at 43 per cent in Richmond and Vancouver, but that drops to 39 per cent on the North Shore, 32 per cent in Burnaby, the TriCities and Maple Ridge, and to just 24 per cent South of the Fraser Among Yes voters, most continue to say they’re dissatisfied with TransLink’s performance but believe the investments to be funded by the Congestion Improvement Tax is the best way to deal with current and future transit

problems.

Two-thirds of No voters believe there are other ways to fund expansion and doubt the new tax will stay at 0.5 per cent if it’s introduced.

The survey used 1,604 Metro Vancouver online participants and had a margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Canseco said a second survey was conducted just after the announcement businessman Jim Pattison will head an accountability committee overseeing the flow of new money. It found just three per cent of No voters were more likely to vote Yes because of Pattison’s involvement.

Liberal MLAs scold Bateman Two government MLAs are accusing No forces in the transit referendum of misleading the public by exaggerating the issue of waste at TransLink.

Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, a former Surrey councillor, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender, formerly mayor of Langley City and vice-chair of the mayors’ council, made the comments Friday in Cloverdale, where Transportation Minister Todd Stone urged local business leaders to support the Yes campaign.

Hunt said TransLink has got “a bad rap” from No campaign leader Jordan Bateman, who he said has made “very unfair” comparisons of executive salaries to those paid in smaller transit organizations that do not have the geographic sweep or extent of responsibilities as the Metro Vancouver agency.

“An awful lot of erroneous information has gone out,” Hunt said. “Unfortunately, there’s nobody out there saying ‘Jordan, get serious. Tell the truth on these things.’”

Hunt, who once was a director on the TransLink board when it was elected, insisted TransLink is “extremely efficient” compared to equivalent transit agencies in North America.

He defended former CEO Ian Jarvis’ work to cut costs – $100 million a year was saved from the budget under his watch, in part by reconfiguring bus routes – and suggested Bateman’s skills lie more in “pointing fingers and throwing stones.”

“Show me the savings he produced at Langley Township when he was on their council and then we can start to talk about what he can do at TransLink.”

Hunt rejected claims a No result will force new reform at TransLink. “Tell me the piece of the puzzle that’s going to improve by saying No,” Hunt said. “All you’re going to have is more people, more cars, more congestion, worse air and more beat-up roads.”

Signs not part of scope of renovation: TransLink ⫸

GRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADER

New Westminster council thinks TransLink should change the name of its New Westminster station because it’s too generic and confusing.

continued from FRONT PAGE

“It sounds like they told us to jump off of the nearest …,” said Coun. Bill Harper leaving the last word to the listeners’ imaginations.

In an email to the NewsLeader, TransLink spokesman Chris Bryan said a new name would mean modifying or replacing the signs installed during the integration with Plaza 88 in 2012.

“Changing a station name would require making changes beyond the signage within the station,” wrote Bryan. “Examples of information that would have to be updated across the network include electronic and printed maps, in-vehicle line diagrams, on-board train announcements, bus route names and related ID

signs for routes that terminate at New Westminster station, schedule booklets, and trip planning software.”

The city had also asked TransLink to discuss possible public art for the site. TransLink said it is setting up a permanent work for the site. Although it would be curated by the transit authority a member of the city’s public art commission was invited to sit on the jury for the competition. A temporary public art work will also go on the hoarding during construction and TransLink is willing to work with a lead artist who will work with New West artists to design a mural.

The report to council also said New Westminster’s design panel

had a considerable amount of discussion about their concerns for the project. No consensus was reached on whether to support it or not.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone, chair of the city’s access ability advisory committee, said it’s unacceptable passengers won’t have access to an elevator during much of the construction. He said given the “terrible” situation at Metrotown station during its current renovations “cutting off access to elevators should be vigorously avoided.”

“Access to an elevator at all times during construction is imperative,” said Johnstone.

The New Westminster station’s renovations are expected to take 15 months to complete.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Make a difference

LAST WEEK:

One in 10 British Columbians has kidney disease. That’s a staggering number. Take a look around you, at your place of work; in your classroom. Chances are, someone you know may have kidney disease. There’s also a good chance they don’t know it yet, because the symptoms are so slight in the early stages.

Therein lies one of the biggest hurdles of dealing with the disease. The key to preventing or delaying a life on dialysis, or a kidney transplant, is early detection.

• Are you diabetic?

• Do you have high blood pressure?

• Do you have heart disease?

• Does your family have a history of kidney disease?

Testing is a simple procedure (a blood test and a urine test) that can be done along with your regularly scheduled check-up.

Currently, more than 350 British Columbians are on a wait list for kidney transplant.

The median wait time for a kidney is 4.8 years. More than 50 per cent of dialysis patients do not survive past four years.

Sobering statistics, indeed.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon is on a mission to increase the number of kidney transplants by 50 per cent over the next five years. In order to achieve that goal, there is a need for more donors.

The unique advantage people in need of a kidney have over others awaiting organ transplants is a living donation is an option and its the most successful of all transplant procedures.

These are only advantages to those with kidney disease if those with two healthy kidneys sign up for the living donation program.

For more information on the living donation program, go to kidney.ca/living-donation March is National Kidney Month. Make a difference.

You could be saving the life of someone sitting next to you.

Seniors advocate strikes a chord VICTORIA – B.C.’s new seniors advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it.

When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested B.C. already has 85 seniors advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices.

Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government.

Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding was not what she expected.

“We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said.

The survey found that 60

per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived.

Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the lowest awareness of assistance designed specifically for them. But you don’t get these

LE DER

benefits unless you apply and show your income qualifies.

The survey also found the biggest fear of low-income seniors is they won’t be able to afford to stay in their homes. See home adaptation, property tax and rent subsidy programs above.

Awareness and usage of the SAFER program was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not surprising since the B.C. government exists more in theory than in fact in many remote places.

So what should the government do about this? Well, it could advertise these programs.

The government does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s.

Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hard hats and blueprint-style graphics and arc welding and stuff like that.

Then last year the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers strike, and the payments to parents

to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates the government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it.

The NDP’s version of seniors advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government.

A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart.

Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all. twitter@tomfletcherbc

PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

WHAT’S NEXT? While Mr. Rushton’s avoidance of his local multiplex (Pleasure of ignorant bliss, NewsLeader March 4) and, it would seem, of movies in general, is not likely to greatly affect the future of cinema or of mankind, I do wonder what I can expect in future from the NewsLeader: perhaps a half-page article penned by someone proudly proclaiming the pleasure they derive from all their unread books?

Moody Park is the only green space serving 25 per cent of New Westminster’s population.

An estimated 1,000 dogs live in our neighbourhoods. We need a dog park. What we don’t need is a dog park that is unsuitable and one that puts our youngest children at risk. The toddlers triangle of the park is not the place to put a dog park.

No other municipality in the region has a dog park with three shared common pathways so close to a children’s playground, spray park and a day care centre. Why? To protect the safety and health of their most vulnerable - the small young children that utilize this area.

Our new mayor and council have approved this site and even expanded the area without any further public consultation.

Moody Park Residents are getting a fenced dog park? We should be happy. The city has told us they did a lot of public consultation and we were listened to. This is all good, right?

What they don’t tell you, is the consultation was flawed from start to finish. They don’t mention the parks department pre-determined the ‘spots’ - not where dogs currently play, but simply ‘space’ they shoe-horned in and called a dog park with little planning.

They don’t tell us our public input was all but meaningless and recommendations and numerous health and safety fears for babies, toddlers, children and pets using this area were simply dismissed.

They sure don’t tell you in the entire consultation process, the children’s playground was photoshopped out. This is the toddler’s corner of the park with a playground, spray park and day care centre. This is where our babies, toddlers, and youngest children play. Children make loud noises, and sudden movements that can initiate the play and/or prey drive in even the calmest of dogs.

Saying farewell after a 50-year musical legacy can sometimes happen more than once.

For iconic band The Irish Rovers, saying goodbye is part of a process.

“I’m starting to feel like Cher. This is about our fourth farewell tour,” said Rover front man and original band member George Millar who was getting ready for his show in Kelowna scheduled earlier this week when he was interviewed.

For most of March, the band has been touring the province. After their New Westminster gig at Massey Theatre on Friday, they will travel to Nanaimo where they will be wrapping up their 20-date, three-week Canadian concert tour on St. Patrick’s Day with a live taping of the show.

New Westminster concert-goers can expect the release of The Irish Rovers, 50 Years triple CD set, with original recordings from throughout the decades and several new recordings such as Millar’s current favorite Hoars and Hounds, to be available.

The Irish Rovers will perform at the Massey on Friday.

Although the band has played all over the world, including a lengthy tour in New Zealand, the songwriter and guitarist says he still recalls all the times he and his band played at the Massey Theatre, a venue with “friendly ghosts in the walls” and one that he describes as perfect for live performances.

“Those old buildings are really built for sound,” he recalls from his four or five Massey Theatre shows conducted over the years.

Back in the 1970s and in the decade to follow, the Rovers called the Lower Mainland their home. At that time, they starred in their own national television show that aired on CBC. The band was, and still is, known for songs such as The Unicorn and Wasn’t That a Party.

From the artist who is now 67 and openly admits sleeping in a different bed every night is for bands who still have their youth, Millar adamantly adds he has no intention of retiring.

“Good God no, I’m never retiring. Following the tour, we will still be recording and performing at festivals, special events and short trips here and there,” he says.

Cities urged to end seniors discounts Study argues breaks on property tax and other fees are unfair Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new study urges municipalities to eliminate breaks for seniors on property taxes and fees to use services such as public transit and fitness classes.

The report by municipal finance expert Harry Kitchen was released by the Institute for Research on Public Policy.

Kitchen argues it’s time to abandon seniors discounts because they increasingly benefit wealthy retirees who don’t need the help.

“They were established at a time when a high percentage of older residents were living in poverty, but poverty rates for seniors have decreased

considerably compared with those in the rest of the population,” Kitchen said.

His findings indicate seniors actually have the smallest share of people living in poverty of any age group in Canada.

He recommends grants and special aid be targeted to all low-income people in need, regardless of age.

“Those paying a reduced price are effectively subsidized by those paying the higher price,” Kitchen says in his study.

Cheap or free services to seniors can also lead to excessive use of services and larger-than-required facilities, it says.

Extra revenue from ending blanket discounts for seniors could give cities more flexibility to reduce their reliance on property taxes, he argued.

He warns the inequity of

seniors discounts will worsen as the population ages and reform will become increasingly difficult as more voters turn 65.

B.C.’s home owner grant program reduces the property tax on a principle residence by more if the owner is a senior – the tax reduction is up to $845 per year for seniors but is capped at $570 for those under 65.

TransLink charges seniors a $52 for a monthly “concession” pass that’s valid across all zones, while other regular adults are charged $170 a month for a pass that’s good for all zones, or $91 for one zone only.

BC Ferries eliminated a major freebie for seniors a year ago – free travel on non-holiday weekdays. Seniors now pay half price on their passenger fare Monday to Thursday.

This event is sponsored by the Mulberry PARC Retirement Residence and the NewsLeader. This is the first of more events to occur throughout 2015.

The event is being held in the banquet hall in the Bonsor Recreation Centre.

The society says as B.C.’s seniors advocate she will offer a unique perspective. It also says B.C.’s seniors deserve support from the provincial government to help them maximize independence and ensure a fulfilling lifestyle.
