Getting answers on transit vote Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum.

Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades. Read more in this series on our website.

Referendum question: How much will the sales tax increase cost?

Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Yes and No sides use very different estimates of what the extra 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax will cost the typical family.

The Mayors’ Council pegs the per household cost of the sales tax hike

at an average of $125 per year based on statistics on spending patterns and how much the province now collects in PST from the region.

It says the increase works out to 35 cents a day, and the extra tax would be $3 on a $600 new sofa or $150 on a $30,000 car.

The No side’s Jordan Bateman rejects the $125 figure and estimates a real household cost of $258 a year.

His estimate – from simply dividing the $250 million to be raised each

Twelve charges have been laid against a Surrey man for incidents at two New Westminster SkyTrain stations.

Transit Police said two men broke into the 22nd Street SkyTrain station on March 1 at about 3:30 a.m., and then broke into an ATM at the station, removing the cash box.

On March 3, at 4:45 a.m., New Westminster police responded to a report of a break-in at the Braid Street station. The suspect tried to break into a ticket vending machine and then broke into the station office, said police. The NWPD arrested him a short time later as he walked along the SkyTrain tracks toward the Lougheed station.

Transit Police said they recognized the suspect as one of those in the March 1 incident.

Police also recovered a significant quantity of cash during the investigation.

Crown counsel has approved NWPDrecommended charges against Peter Harvey Hogan, 48, of break and enter, theft over $5,000, possession of break-in instruments, and disguising his face with intention to commit an offence.

NOTICE TO CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER’S ELECTRIC UTILITY CUSTOMERS City Council has adopted a rate structure that reflects the same rate increase implemented by BC Hydro. The new rates reflect an across-theboard 6.0% rate increase, effective April 1, 2015.

Although both residential and commercial rates are being revised to reflect the same rate increase, the amount of any increase in monthly electricity bill will vary depending on the amount of energy used. The electricity bill for a residential household using 1,000 kWh per month will increase by $6.02 to $106.31 per month.

Even with the new approved rates, the City’s residents will continue to enjoy, on average, one of the lowest electricity rates in North America.

“As a public health physician, it’s my job to advance public programs, policies and investments that reduce risk of disease and injury—and, ultimately, save lives. I believe we’re facing one of the most important public health decisions for the metro Vancouver region this decade – the Mayors’ Transportation and Transit Plan. The investments set out in the Plan would contribute critically to the health of our region through increasing our physical activity levels, reducing air pollution, reducing our risk for being injured on the road, and helping to ensure that all of us can access the work opportunities, services and amenities we need to live well.

I personally use public transit every day, and consider it critical to my own health and wellbeing. The outcome of the referendum will determine to a large degree the transportation future of the lower mainland for many years to come. Let us choose a transportation future that improves the health and well-being of the region, and vote yes for the Mayors’ Plan, yes for public health.”

Patrick Johnstone takes a close-up look at the worn sandstone blocks that comprise the foundation of the old train station at Hyack Square. Johnstone will be leading a Jane’s Walk to tell people about the geological history of some of the Downtown’s heritage buildings.

A walk between rock and hard place

New Westminster, B.C.’s oldest city, is actually a lot older than everyone thinks.

At least in the trained eyes of Patrick Johnstone.

While some of the buildings in the city’s Downtown date back to its founding in 1858, the stones used to erect those structures are hundreds of millions of years old.

Johnstone, a city councillor who also happens to have a Master’s degree in geology from Simon Fraser University, said those stones have their own stories to tell. And he’ll be sharing them on a Jane’s Walk to be held May 2.

Jane’s Walks are based upon the premise by late urbanist Jane Jacobs that cities are made successful by their ability to connect people. The free walks, which are held in cities around the world on the first weekend in May, are led by local citizens who tell

the waterfront. The old courthouse just down the block was similarly resurrected.

But other stone buildings haven’t fared as well. The sandstone blocks on the old CPR train station on Columbia Street have weathered and worn over the years.

“It wasn’t built to last 1,000 years,” said Johnstone. “Sandstone falls apart, but it was local and it was easy to work with.”

The advent of structural steel construction techniques in the early 20th century rendered stone to a more decorative function, like the limestone tiles on the facade of the new Anvil Centre.

To prepare for his Jane’s Walk, Johnstone said he’s mined old documents about the stone industry in British Columbia. He’s also taking a fresh look at the Downtown’s buildings.

“Geology school made me look at the whole world in a different way,” said Johnstone.

A robbery at the Queensborough Walmart Thursday morning ended up with police arresting three suspects in Surrey following a low-speed chase.

New Westminster police said staff reported at about 9 a.m. the three suspects had produced a weapon and ran out of the store with stolen property. As officers made their way to the store they got a report the trio were fleeing in a taxi.

The officers saw the cab heading east in the 1400 block of Stewardson Way so they turned around and tried to make a traffic stop but the taxi carried on.

Believing the taxi driver might be forced to keep driving the officers did a low speed pursuit that went over the Pattullo Bridge into Surrey. When the taxi stopped on King George Boulevard near 104th Avenue, one of the suspects jumped out and tried to flee on foot but the NWPD caught up to him after a short chase. The two other suspects, a man and a woman, were taken into custody without any problems.

“Teamwork and the careful decision making of our members were key in bringing this situation to a safe resolution,” said Chief Const. Dave Jones in a news release. “The decision to initiate a pursuit is not taken lightly and in this situation, the safety of the taxi driver and the general public was of utmost importance.”

The suspects remained in custody awaiting a court appearance.

FRDC fundraisers are seeking sponsors for its professionally designed interpretive Working River Project exhibit proposal.

The exhibit will reflect three categories – jobs and life on the river, river infrastructure and transportation, and materials handling and emergency response.

“The economic role of the Fraser River is arguably one of the most important parts of B.C. – past, present and future.

It is the economic backbone of our province and a key part of Canada’s domestic and international trade. The Fraser is responsible for more economic activity each year than the St. Lawrence seaway, “ said Bruyneel.

FRDC has found five sponsors but need five more before it can begin development of two of the three exhibit pods – each of which have a $750,000 price tag and occupy approximately 300 square feet.

Describing it as “world-class” and a “must-see” for exhibition lovers, Bruyneel said the display will be comparable to what people might expect to see at Science World or the Vancouver Aquarium. Funds raised will pay for professional design, operation, technology and fabrication costs.

Once completed, the display will occupy the FRDC’s Fraser Gallery, on the centre’s lower floor.

An educational display that will encompass approximately 1,000 square feet and cost $2.25 million to complete is on the Fraser River Discovery Centre’s (FRDC) wish list. It is also the key to keeping the centre open.

According to board chair Stephen Bruyneel, funding for the display is supposed to serve as operational capital that FRDC needs to secure longer term funding in order to stay viable. Currently, FRDC does not have “core operational funding” so must rely on corporate sponsorships, grants and donations to operate and money from those sources is near depletion.

“The funding from the Fraser River Discovery Centre Foundation will be depleted some time this year. The funding from the Working River project is designed to replace it. But we need to have that in place before the foundation funds run out,” said Bruyneel in an email to the NewsLeader.

Arrest made for mall carjacking A New Westminster man has been charged with carjacking a grocery shopper in the parking lot of the Royal City Centre mall March 10.

Police said the incident happened about 5 p.m as the 59-year-old victim, a New Westminster resident, was loading groceries into his vehicle. A man approached him with a knife and demanded the keys to the vehicle, which the victim provided.

According to the NWPD, the stolen vehicle was involved in two incidents in Surrey in the following hours. It was seen fleeing the scene after rear-ending another vehicle. Then, at about 11:45 p.m., it came to police attention when it fled from officers attempting to conduct a traffic stop on King George Highway near Gateway Drive. The next afternoon New West police found a man sleeping slumped over the steering wheel of the stolen vehicle.

Daryl John Hickey, 34, has been charged with robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, breach of probation and five counts of breach of recognizance.

Difficult to say which estimate accurate ⫸

logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said it’s likely some businesses will pass along the tax hike to residents through higher prices, increasing their indirect cost from the tax.

But he said it’s difficult to say which side’s estimate is the most accurate.

Another issue is how fairly the sales tax hike treats the rich and poor.

The mayors council estimates the poorest 20 per cent of households would pay less than $50 a year from the increase. That’s because a higher share of low-income household spending goes to necessities such as food, children’s clothes and medicine that are PST exempt.

A movie production company filming in the region, for example, will pay sales tax on what its crews buy, but it doesn’t have direct customers here who it can force to pay more.

Some retailers may even absorb the tax so their customers don’t pay more – car dealers say they may do that to ensure buyers don’t go to Fraser Valley dealers instead.

Businesses pay an estimated 45 per cent of the sales tax collected in Metro Vancouver and visitors pay another five per cent, leaving residents picking up the other half of the direct costs of the new tax.

All of the existing PST exemptions would apply to the Congestion Improvement Tax. But, the No campaign says the poor would pay a much larger relative share of their income than wealthy households, making it a regressive tax compared to income tax, which low income earners typically do not pay at all.

“It is judged to be mildly regressive,” Lindsey said.

But he said that knock against the tax fails to take into account what the money would fund.

“It will go mainly to public transit, which is disproportionately used by lower income individuals and households,” Lindsey said. “That would be considered progressive.”

OPINION

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

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

A tale of two evils

LAST WEEK:

Metro voters are being told that if they don’t vote ‘yes’ on the transit referendum that not only will they not get transit improvements for a decade or so, but added congestion will, in time, stifle major corridors, costing them billions of dollars and putting their lives at risk.

Mayors, businesses owners, police chiefs, even doctors are all offering warnings: costs of goods and services will increase, jobs will go elsewhere, police cars and ambulances will be stuck in traffic.

Every day the Yes side proposes another end-of-the-world scenario in an effort to discredit the No side’s notion that TransLink spending is out of control and that salaries are too high.

It even brought in billionaire Jimmy Pattison to save the day.

He wouldn’t have any interest in placing billboards along new transit lines. And he can’t fix the rudderless organization that TransLink has become.

Nor can the No side, which isn’t to blame for SkyTrain failures, or that of the Compass Card.

The No side didn’t fire TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis, then decide to keep paying him while hiring an interim replacement.

And the No side isn’t responsible for the unfair and inconsistent tolling policy in the Metro region.

The No side isn’t even suggesting that the transportation improvements aren’t needed, just that TransLink become a more accountable organization first.

And even Jarvis, before he was fired, suggested a more equitable way to fund transportation improvements is needed.

The Yes side is lacking support, by a wide margin, according to recent polls, so it is enacting an aggressive campaign of fear tactics to change the minds of voters as referendum ballots are being mailed out. It’s a political war that doesn’t benefit Metro residents.

Auditor leak has Liberals bailing VICTORIA – March has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.

Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government.

This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking.

The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze.

Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits.

But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just

making sure the figures add up.

It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey.

The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18.

LE DER

Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead.

Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member.

It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.”

Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”

“A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.”

Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive

when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets.

Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard.

Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said.

Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings.

Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

CUMBERLAND GOVERNOR

S

MBIA

As a New Westminster resident, I was appalled at the sudden traffic delays on Columbia Street from drivers attempting to access the Pattullo Bridge, which began soon after the new Port Mann Bridge tolls were implemented, when the earlier toll rates were discontinued.

Before this traffic jam, it would take me five minutes to drive to a SkyTrain station in New Westminster, park the car and jump on the SkyTrain. That is no longer possible during the day, Monday to Friday.

My concerns were directed in an email to the provincial Minister of Transportation Todd Stone in February 2014.

RICHM

OND

E COLU

NEW TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY NEEDED

The response from his office in May 2014, speaks well of the lack of the minister’s understanding of what is really going on in our neighbourhood and which continues today, a year later.

It is my belief much of our traffic woes could be alleviated, if the Port Mann Bridge toll was reduced to the former level of $1.50 a crossing for cars.

If the Port Mann Bridge is expected to serve our needs for the next 75 years, surely there is a formula that can be found to meet the costs, and at an attractive price to encourage motorists to use it. The recently announced incentives to get people to use the bridge are not the solution. Reducing the toll cost is the solution.

I will not support the 0.5 per cent tax increase until the TransLink authority is dismantled and a Greater Vancouver municipal body is created to manage our transportation needs.

The recent news of Jimmy Pattison coming aboard to oversee the use of public funds created for this project is admirable. However, it is the administration of the process that needs to be changed.

All municipal entities should be included on a board that controls costs and manages the whole transit system within Greater Vancouver.

John More New Westminster

With all the other taxes we have imposed on us, e.g. levies, tolls, gas taxes, transfer fees, eco fees, health care premiums, ad infinitum, we are already far too highly taxed. Instead of conceding billions of dollars to the LNG industry and building dams when alternate sustainable energy sources are available, we could actually have our transit, health care and school systems funded appropriately, after all, it is our money they are spending and many would say unwisely. So why encourage them by giving them even more of our hard earned money?

Gavin Wishart New Westminster

MIN

Enough is enough.

When our school system, health care system, etc., need additional funds, not only does the provincial government reluctantly give them any, they usually end up cutting their funding or, in the case of the recent budget with health care, actually boast that they gave half what other provinces gave those necessary services.

We’ve all seen those same politicians lined up at the trough eagerly waiting to take even more money out of your pocket in the upcoming PST plebiscite and I say we ‘educate’ them with a taste of their own ‘medicine’ (puns intended). Not only should we say no to an increase in provincial sales tax, I say we should be demanding a one per cent decrease and make them find the money elsewhere by improving efficiency, cutting obscene wages for their CEOs and maybe, just maybe, not cut taxes for two per cent of the wealthiest people in the province and instead raise their taxes. None of those options seem to have been considered.

I believe taxpayers need answers as to how we suddenly got into this catastrophic transit mess. These provincial leaders and high-priced CEOs appear to have been asleep at the wheel when studying trends and making decisions on our future transit needs. Instead they tend to focus on their future salary and pension increases.

Agriculture has always been a subject explored by artists.

John Constable painted pastoral farms in the English countryside in the 1800s. Cows were a favourite subject of American William Henry Howe.

Van Gogh captured the harvest with his brushstrokes.

So it seemed only natural for Melissa Maltais to bring agriculture and art together to help raise the money needed to keep the Royal City Farmers Market (RCFM) seniors shuttle service running for a second year.

On March 28, the RCFM will be the hosts for Fresh Paint, an evening of art, agriculture, wine and cheese at 100 Braid Studios.

The event will bring together local artists like Susan Greig, Cliff Blank and Judy Villet to show off their studios and popular market vendors like Golden Ears Cheesecrafters, BobAli Hummus and Spread’Em Kitchen who will tickle guests’ tastebuds.

Suitably inspired and sated, visitors will even have a chance to create their own abstract work of art in the facility’s “splatter room.”

Maltais, the market’s operations manager, said it will cost about $2,000 to operate the seniors shuttle again. Last year most of that money came from the River Market’s annual ONE Prize competition. But this year the market must rely on grants, donations and fundraisers to come up with the money to hire the bus and driver provided by the Senior Services Society.

In its inaugural year the shuttle allowed 40 New West seniors to make the weekly trip to the market in Tipperary Park where they were able to stock up on fresh produce, meats and cheeses with a little help from $15 vouchers provided by the BC Association of Farmers Markets through a program sponsored by the Ministry of Health.

Many of those seniors had mobility issues and, said Maltais, the weekly trips to the

market gave them a way to get out of their homes and forge important connections in the community.

The bus provided door-todoor service. And the trip often turned into a mobile classroom with talks on kitchen skills and recipes.

The seniors loved the social aspect of their market junkets, said Maltais. And the farmers at the market loved seeing the regular faces. Sometimes they’d even slip an extra beet or broccoli bunch into the seniors’ shopping bags.

But more importantly the shuttle program ensured its passengers got access to fresh, healthy food when they might otherwise be satisfied to just have a sandwich for dinner.

“For a few folks, it might reignite their passion for cooking,” said Maltais.

RENOV TE

The three P’s of renovation Every home project begins with an idea and ends with the culmination of the job. In between, there are three main components of an improvement project that can mean the difference between success and frustration: Planning, permits and protection.

Planning The initial stage of a renovation is the planning stage. Planning is when a homeowner works through the concept of the project and determines what is necessary to complete the task.

Many people find it helpful to write out plans and draw up the

concept on paper. This doesn’t require expensive architectural software. A simple piece of graph paper plotted with measurements and a sketch is often sufficient for small projects. If the job will be expansive and require an architect or engineer, he or she will often provide a technical drawing.

If the project focuses more on decorating than building, some find it helpful to create a design board. This is where fabric swatches, paint color samples, pictures of furniture and accessories, and any other components of the room are put together. Having a design board enables the homeowner to go to

the store with board in tow and match up items to things in the store.

Another part of the planning stage is establishing a budget and determining the project’s financing. It can be helpful to make a list of all income and expenses and find out how much funding is left over for a project.

When getting estimates on the work, whether it will be done by a contractor or a DIY project, the homeowner should then make a list of approximate costs (rounding up) and then compare it against the available funds.

Permits Many projects, especially those

involving building, demolition, electrical work, or mold remediation, require permits issued by the town, province or city in which the work will be taking place.

The purpose of permits and subsequent inspections is often questioned by homeowners looking to circumvent the system.

However, building permits are required to ensure public safety, health and welfare as they are affected by building construction, structural strength, zoning, and code requirements. In essence, building permits are how the government regulates safety and protects both current and future residents of the property.

In many cases, homeowners will need to visit the municipal building in their respective towns and apply for a permit. The permit may not immediately be issued. Often, there is a waiting period during which the project’s legality and safety is examined.

Once the project is approved, the applicant will be able to file for the actual permit(s). There is usually a fee or fees for permit application, which covers any clerical work.

Work should not begin until a permit is received, and then the permit generally has to be placed in plain sight, such as in a window of the building.

Plan, permit, protect ⫸

continued from PAGE A9

Depending on building codes, inspections of the work may need to take place after all of the project is completed or during certain phases. For example, the building of a deck may require inspections after footings are installed and secured, and before the upper portions of the decking materials are attached.

If an inspection takes place afterward, the inspector will be looking for key code issues to determine whether the work was completed successfully. If a contractor was used, he or she may have to be present at the time of the inspection. If the work passes, an approval will be given and put on record. If the work fails, applicable repairs will have to be made and a re-inspection will be scheduled.

Should a home be put on the market, all permits may need to be on file or in the homeowners’ possession in order for a certificate of occupancy to be issued to the new buyer. Failure to have permits can hold up the process or result in fines.

Protection Homeowners about to begin a project also need to emphasize safety. There are a number of things that can be on hand to make a work environment safer.

These include:

• Eye protection: This is especially important when working with flying debris, cutting items, mixing caustic chemicals, etc.

• Respirator or face mask: Cover the nose or mouth when there is dust or debris in the air that can enter the lungs.

When working with toxic fumes, such as when using spray paints or chemical lubricants, a respirator can offer clean air.

• Boots: Proper footwear ensures protection should an item fall on the foot or when walking where nails or other sharp items are located.

• Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher should be nearby in the event of a mishap.

• First aid kit: An abrasion or cut may occur, requiring prompt care.

• Gloves: When the hands need to be protected or extra traction on surfaces is required, gloves can be a necessity.

• Headphones: Safety headphones can protect the ears against loud, consistent noises from power equipment and tools.

• Locks: A locked cabinet can store tools, paints, chemicals, and other improvement supplies so that young children or pets won’t have access.

When homeowners take the time to plan, obtain permits, and secure the needed protection for a job, they help ensure a safer job that is done correctly.

During his 12-year tenure

He was also a regional representative to the Municipal Finance Authority and the vice chair of the TransLink Mayors Council.
