HOT DOGS IN CARS!
CITYPAGE 8TH ANNUAL NEW WESTMINSTER CULTURAL CRAWL
There are many dogs every year that suffer heat stroke/heat exhaustion, or even death, due to the neglect of some dog owners who do not understand how severely a vehicle can heat up in even a short period of time. For instance, when it is 25 degrees outside, the inside of the vehicle can heat up to 20 degrees hotter – that’s a scalding 45 degrees! Clearly, this would be a serious risk to a dog trapped inside. Dogs cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws; if they are in a vehicle that is too hot, they are unable to do either of these as the air and the upholstery their paws are touching are too hot. Even a vehicle parked in the shade with the windows open is not sufficiently cool.

Sun, suds and salad on the patio Plenty of pros and cons to outdoor eating for restaurants By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER
R
elaxing at a leafy restaurant patio on a hot summer day sipping a beverage or two, adult or otherwise, without a care in the world often inspires patrons to blissfully utter, “it doesn’t get any better than this!” That may be true for them, but not necessarily for restaurant owners. With the warm sunny days of summer, patios pop up in all sorts of eateries all over Burnaby and New Westminster. They come in all shapes, sizes and looks. They can be as small as a tiny table with two foldable chairs outside a donair joint on Twelfth Street. Or they can be as glamourous and elaborate as the patio at Horizons Restaurant on Burnaby Mountain with its $10-million view of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore mountains and Vancouver. There are some like Gino’s in Sapperton that are covered and are snug up against the sidewalk along Columbia Street. There are several of those as well, although often without the covering and coziness, in the HighGate, Metrotown and Brentwood areas, many of which are exposed to the traffic and
exhaust of Kingsway and Lougheed Highway. They can also be tucked away, like the rooftop patio at Sammy J Peppers in Metrotown. Others are off the beaten path such as Nathan’s Grill in Burnaby’s Central Valley, which sits amongst the tractor trailer trucks of an industrial park, or the Riverway Golf Course’s barbecue grill patio overlooking the greens, fairways and water hazards. On the sun-splashed patio of the Paddlewheeler Pub at the Westminster Quay, patrons can look Simon Fraser’s bust in the eye while watching passersby on the boardwalk and tracking tugboat traffic on the river as they chow down on chicken wings or imbibe a brew. “It’s not like you’re dealing with gas fumes. You’re just sitting there looking at the water, there’s no pollution, there’s no noise. It’s beautiful,” says Rhoena Reutlinger, the Paddlewheeler’s manager. “We’re blessed to have something off the beaten path.” The Paddlewheeler’s is one of the few patios used virtually year round, although it puts out fewer chairs and provides heaters in the cooler months. “Even on a nice winter day they just want to sit out there, have a cup of coffee and watch the river,” says Reutlinger. It’s also in demand because it has a smokers area since patrons are not

allowed to satisfy their nicotine cravings inside. “It gives them some place to go, although I don’t know how much longer they’ll be able to,” says Reutlinger, referring to the ever-changing smoking regulations. The patio’s biggest drawback from Reutlinger’s perspective is the unpredictable weather often makes it difficult to determine demand for the patio, causing her headaches in scheduling staff. “It’s like playing roulette.” Up on Burnaby Mountain, the patio boosts business in the summer for Horizons. It’s open from late May until September, and occasionally on nice spring days customers clamour for it to be open which management accommodates if they can.

“It’s great, weather permitting,” says Horizons manager Yvonne Donhardt. “It’s just an added bonus.” While it didn’t bring in much business during the down days in May and June of this year, with summer finally showing up this month it’s been a full house outside, says Donhardt. From Horizons’ perspective the only complication can be if it starts raining while customers are eating, but given its crowsnest-tothe-community location it’s easy to see the bad weather coming on the horizon.
Kosztyo, an instructor in the Douglas College hospitality management program. While patios can produce extra revenue and add ambience, owners have to ask themselves if they’re really worth it for just four or five weeks a year. And that time frame can be shrunk even further when a summer like 2011 comes along. “It’s very seasonal,” says Kosztyo, who used to manage a 300-seat restaurant with a 100-seat patio. He points out patios can be costly to set up in the first place, and then a lot of work to set up and take down each day. On top of that, extra storage room might be required for the chairs, tables and umbrellas. Some restaurant owners open up a patio just because their neighbour did, but that can be a mistake if they don’t do due diligence, says Kosztyo. Owners and managers have to be careful where they put the patio. Putting it out back or around the side may keep customers away from noisy traffic, but they won’t want to sit there if it’s beside a dumpster. If it’s too hot, the patio better have enough umbrellas, overhangs or trees to create shade, otherwise patrons will prefer going inside. A patio requires extra furniture, and it’s usually not such a hot idea to go with flimsy chairs because they can easily blow away in the wind, he says.

In Just a Handful of Therapy Treatments, This Woman’s Shoulder Pain Will Be Gone
The B.C. Supreme Court has ordered the City of New Westminster and the New Westminster Police Service to hand over any documents that might suggest they acted with malicious intent when police raided Royal City Jewellers & Loans Ltd. almost four years ago and arrested its owner, Michael Isman. The raid occurred in October 2007, with police seizing several items, arresting Isman and charging him with possession of stolen property. The charges against him were eventually stayed by the Crown, and Isman told the NewsLeader this week he is pursuing the current court action because the incident has left him with a criminal record and he believes both the police and the city targeted him maliciously. Just three months before the raid, Isman was successful in his fight to quash a 1997 City of New Westminster bylaw that required businesses such as his to provide personal information of people who sell second-hand items through his store. The court ruling at the time had far-reaching effects, impacting municipal bylaws across the province. “Plaintiff’s counsel, in submissions, suggested that as a result of the by-law result, Royal City (Jewellers) and the

plaintiff have become targets of the City, in this particular instance, by way of the City’s police department,” states Justice Ian Caldwell in his Reasons for Judgment, released last Friday. “He says there is reason to believe there are memos, e-mails and other such materials in the possession of the defendants, particularly the City, which materials were created during and following the by-law dispute and which will bear directly on the issue of malice.” In response, the defendants argued that Isman was merely going on a “fishing expedition,” and that “even if any such material exists, the plaintiff would have to prove on the balance of probabilities that the officers were aware of it before it could be considered relevant to any allegation of malice,” the court document states. Justice Caldwell was unconvinced by the defendants’ arguments and issued a stern response: “This case involves potentially very serious questions involving the interaction between a government and one of its citizens and the role of the police authorities in that interaction. In a free and democratic society, it is hard to imagine an issue of greater import.” The court has already ordered the defendants to pay Isman’s court costs, and has given them 30 days to produce a list of all documents “which relate to the issue of malice on the part of the City of New Westminster by way of, or evidenced by, its duly authorized and/or elected officials.” Isman said the next court

To cushion the discomfort for customers, restaurants use several tricks adding high fences, screens, shrubbery, flower pots and even fountains to soften the noise and the intrusions from the street. On top of all that, “everything has to be spic and span. It takes a lot to make it good,” says Kosztyo. “If you do something do it right, or don’t do it at all. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Is it worth it?’ You have to sit down and put the pros and cons down. ‘Will I get my money back? Will it add anything to my restaurant?’ “The ambience is better, but what do you do for the rest of the 45 weeks of the year and nobody is sitting outside and you have to pay rent for it and storage for it?”
Sitting on the sidewalk Answering their own questions can be one thing, but sometimes restaurant owners wanting to add a sidewalk patio are answerable to the city. Not all have to, though. If the restaurant sits far enough behind the property line it can do whatever it wants on its own land, even if that land is a sidewalk, just as long as the building code and engineering bylaws are met. “Some people assume it is just all city sidewalk, but the sidewalk can be part of the restaurant’s private property. In a lot of instances they are like that,” says Lisa Spitale, New Westminster’s chief planner. However, for those with their only option for a patio being a city sidewalk there are regulations to follow. The two
key things are leaving enough sidewalk space for pedestrians, and “we ask that they be decorative,” says Spitale. For instance, along Columbia Street there are several establishments with areas separated on the sidewalk by wrought iron fences. Drink Urban Lounge, for one, has a rectangular patio section with flower pots, umbrellas, and hanging baskets, along with a large street tree, inside its enclosure. Most of those things don’t have to be taken in at night and are of good enough quality to justify the investment, says Spitale. “It’s a really positive way of creating a pedestrianfriendly environment.” Hopefully that will inspire more to declare, “It doesn’t get any better than this!” ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

—EDITORIAL—
Our hand in the weather It seems summer has arrived. Too bad it took until almost the middle of August to get here. Not that we’re the only place enduring weird weather. When we were lamenting the cool temperatures and cloudy skies of July, the rest of the continent was sweltering in record heat and withering humidity. Those kinds of conditions have become so commonplace, some cities, like Toronto, have instituted a system of extreme heat alerts that include a protocol to extend the operating hours of public pools, handing out water in parks and visits by public health officials to rooming houses, boarding homes and other residential premises to ensure residents aren’t suffering. So far this summer Toronto’s medical officer has issued six such alerts. Meanwhile much of Europe has been soggy and cooler than normal this summer after a hot, dry spring. In Africa, Somalia is suffering its worst drought in 60 years; the entire Horn of Africa, which also comprises Ethiopia and Kenya, has received two to eight inches less rainfall this year than normal. That’s sparked a famine that has claimed the lives of more than 29,000 children under the age of five over the past three months. Climatologists like to remind us that such extremes aren’t as wild and unusual as they seem. The La Nina and El Nino phenomena, in which the surface temperature of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is warmer or cooler than normal, have been influencing the climate for more than 20,000 years. Scientists say that it’s impossible to blame specific weather events like storms, droughts, heat waves and extreme cold on global warming caused by humans. But climate change, settlement of expanding populations into areas prone to extreme weather and our inaction to deal with that likelihood have a way of turning bad weather into a disaster. So as much as we like to curse Mother Nature when the weather’s foul, we must also shoulder some of the blame.
Do you think climate change is causing more extreme weather? www.newwestnewsleader.com

Time to get smart or go broke VICTORIA – B.C.’s job market held steady in July, with unemployment at 7.3 per cent. The latest Statistics Canada job data were released as global financial markets teetered on the edge of another recession. B.C. was last reminded of its vulnerability to world events in late 2008 and early 2009, when financial markets froze up and governments around the world started frantically borrowing to bail out major industries. There are still idle construction cranes around B.C., although the vital commodity markets have recovered. It was the sickening skid in provincial revenues, which began to reveal itself during the 2009 election campaign, that triggered the B.C. Tom government’s panicked grab for the harmonized sales tax and its transition fund. If blame is important to you, blame Stephen Harper for the HST, but please don’t believe Bill Vander Zalm and the NDP when they claim it was merely a political plot covered up with lies. The truth is much scarier than the scare tactics of these political opportunists. Globalization isn’t optional, and there are lots of countries out there ready to beat us up and take our lunch money if we give them half a chance.

Question of the week
The Canadian and U.S. central banks have held interest rates near zero since the crisis. If something more goes wrong, they are “out of bullets,” as economists say. Here’s another economic fact about the year 2011. For the first time in Canadian history, the majority of people with employer-supported pensions now work for government or its agencies, rather than the private sector. Despite all the political blather about left and right, more spending versus less, government keeps growing. That’s true for Canada and for B.C., where government grew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted reign of Gordon Campbell. There has been lots of bleating about Fletcher HST on adult-sized clothing for children. Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actually for a bulky child may be the oldest scam in sales tax evasion. This is an example of what economists call the paradox of public finance. Economists like consumption taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many taxpayers dislike them for the same reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re
30, and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like isolation from reality. Lengthy paid leaves, yet more paid professional development days, oh, and a double-digit wage increase after the rest of the public service has accepted zero. I attended the recent BCTF convention in Victoria, where this entitlement culture was on display. During a news conference about the BCTF’s many demands, someone stood behind Education Minister George Abbott and held up a sign for TV cameras that demanded “No Tankers.” This was no campus radical slipped in from the street. It was a middle-aged BCTF delegate, one of many decrying the industrial economy we need to pay for their pensions. B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economy but it can’t do shipping? According to our public sector union elites, we’re too precious to allow oil tankers in B.C.? Apparently some have still failed to notice that oil tankers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Re: Do New Westers pay more property tax? You bet (NewsLeader, Aug. 5) Do New Westminster residents pay the highest property taxes in Metro Vancouver? Not even close. After reading, Chris Bryan’s column, one might get the impression that New Westminster has the highest property taxes in Metro Vancouver. This could not be further from the truth. When all residential properties are considered New Westminster has the 12th highest property taxes out of 19 municipalities in Metro Vancouver. It is true that when we only consider single family homes, New West ranks sixth out of 19, but even then New Westminster is only $200/year above the average for Metro Vancouver. I don’t believe the city should become complacent about these rankings, but I think it is unfair and inaccurate to suggest the New Westminster residents are paying the highest taxes in the region. Jonathan Cote New Westminster City Council
Event organizer apologizes As president of the West End Business Association (WEBA) I feel an apology is in order regarding an oversight in allowing a vendor, who many felt was inappropriate, to appear at this great event. As the event coordinator I worked tirelessly seven days a week for two months to put the event together. With the help of four stage manag-
ers we brought some of the finest local musical entertainment to 12th Street. The Kids Zone with its own stage and ponies, a community focus block, an overwhelming show of colour by the Caribbean community, and mouth-watering food in each block. There were a number of fundraising groups who support many local charities. The excess pork from the pig roast was donated and thanks to this charitable organization, fed 50 hungry street people. The list goes on. By attending the many other successful festivals in the Lower Mainland, we attracted vendors and sponsors who created such great positive energy at the festival. To meet the expansion and higherthan-normal budget of our festival, I attended a successful charity “Show and Shine” event in Coquitlam and circulated a brochure inviting cars and vendors to 12th Street in support of our version of a show and shine. The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) applied for a spot to display their swag, which seemed popular at this show. Accepting this application was an error in judgment on my part. I apologize to the many sponsors, participants, residents and the setup volunteers who worked so hard the day of the event. I apologize to James Crosty, who did such a great job as master of ceremonies and is now being unfairly subjected to negative feedback. He was not involved in organizing the festival but merely
promoting the many sponsors at each stage. I apologize to the many city departments who worked so hard to organize street closures, policing, and particularly to parks, culture and recreation, who are always so cooperative. I apologize to the mayor and city council, who no doubt have weathered public objections to my misjudgment. Many of you know I have spent countless hours for decades supporting 12th Street, and New Westminster, and I will continue to do so. This festival brought muchneeded economic benefits to the businesses on 12th Street and New Westminster. I truly regret the outcome of this oversight. John Ashdown President West End Business Association
BC Hydro must change course on smart meters Re: Green Party gets lost in the static (B.C. Views, Aug. 3). Tom Fletcher is correct. The 2009 BC Greens platform had a timeline that included smart metering by 2012. We did not recommend wireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation. Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters— feed-in tariffs, time-of-day pricing and regional management boards—
letters
Column on property tax was ‘inaccurate’
were not in progress at the end of 2009 so that the timeline for smart metering was eliminated. Without being tied to substantial energy conservation, BC Hydro’s smart meter program is simply a different and more expensive way to collect data. A billion dollars invested in conservation and energy retrofits, diversifying to renewable energy or any number of priorities should precede changing meters. Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associated with Wi-Fi but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who chose not to use wireless technology should not be forced to do so. As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a technological solution looking for a problem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless smart meters have become wealthy with sole-source contracts from government after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decision-making process so that long-term plans actually precede implementation of new technology. Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums on, or cancelling the installation of smart meters. We are recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course. Jane Sterk Leader Green Party of B.C.

Judy Darcy plans to seek the nomination to represent the BC NDP in New Westminster in the next election. “New Westminster is my home and it’s a very special community. I’m very excited to seek the nomination and put my skills and experience to work,” Darcy said in her announcement, which came two days after New West NDP MLA Dawn Black said she would not be running in the next provincial election. “I’m a huge fan of Dawn Black,” Darcy told the NewsLeader. “She was a great community representative and was working with the issues that affect working families in New Westminster.” From 1991 to 2003, Darcy was national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Currently, she is secretary business manager of the Hospital Employees Union in B.C. “I’ve been dealing with long wait lists for care, lack of sufficient beds and overcrowding in hospitals. Lots of people who are in hospital should be in long-term care facilities like Queen’s Park Care Centre, but there aren’t sufficient beds,”

Judy Darcy served as the national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees from 1991 to 2003.
Darcy said. Besides health care, she believes issues of concern to New West residents include child care for working families and dissatisfaction over the HST. Debates over the North Fraser Perimeter Road and traffic congestion on Front Street also need to be addressed, according to Darcy. “It’s a very lovely community, but it’s also a hard community to get in and out of,” Darcy said, adding that, should she make it to Victoria, she will work with New West city council on infrastructure solutions. In 1988, Darcy ran for the federal NDP in York-Simcoe north
of Toronto. It was a Conservative stronghold and she lost. She’s also been a TV commentator for the NDP and worked on the national NDP Renewal Committee that instituted a “one-member-one-vote” policy for electing the NDP leader. Water Watch, a coalition of environmentalists she cofounded in the late ’90s, fought against water privatization projects. Though she’s never held political office, Darcy said that her experience as a seniorlevel union member has prepared her for the legislature. “I certainly got to know about government,” she said. “I learned that forceful advocates are required 24-7.” Despite Darcy’s confidence that B.C. wants change from the Liberals, her own party struggled last year when there appeared to be divisions among NDP MLAs over thenleader Carole James, who ended up resigning as leader. Darcy said the BC NDP has recovered under the leadership of Adrian Dix, and that she’s happy James will be running again for her seat in VictoriaBeacon Hill. Darcy lives in New Westminster with her husband and has a 27-year-old son.

Seema Patel hit a low point in her life after the birth of her daughter, Radhika. Sufferering from severe postpartum depression and coping with the loss of her mother to Lou Gehrig’s disease when Radhika was only two, Patel felt as though she was in a black hole. That’s when her social worker introduced her to an organization called Volunteer Grandparents. “I thought it would be so nice if my daughter could have a relationship with someone from an older generation,” said Patel. Two and a half months later, just in time for Radhika’s third birthday, she was matched with Maureen Hopper, a Burnaby nurse whose own daughter had a volunteer grandparent while growing up. Having had a child later in life, Hopper knew she wouldn’t have grandchildren anytime soon, so she decided to become a volunteer. Hopper knew as soon as she met Radhika that they were a great match. “I couldn’t have gotten a better kid. She’s very loving and we have many of the same interests,” said Hopper. “We’ve been very

The organization also has a school-based program, where volunteers go to elementary schools for one-to-one reading time with children. The organization may be small, with approximately 35 grandparent volunteers, but has had a significant affect on the families it serves.

“Maureen opened our eyes to female power. She taught us that healthy self esteem frees you from the judgement for others,� said Patel. “She gave me the courage to leave him.� The idea of female empowerment has been passed on to Radhika, who wants to be a doctor or veterinarian, said Patel, adding that Hopper has opened Radhika’s eyes to many things she may have not otherwise experienced. Radhika, who is now 10 years old, says she loves skiing and kayaking with her “Granny.� They live a seven-minute drive from each other and enjoy time
“Radhika is such a sweet girl. I have gotten far more out of this than her, she has been such a joy to be around,� said Hopper. “I have a hard time being out of town a few days because I miss her.� Hopper encourages those of grandparenting age to become volunteers with the organization, which has a waitlist of families hoping to be matched with a grandparent. Radhika feels lucky she has Hopper in her life and has only positive things to say about her granny. “My Granny is really special and she’s really kind. I love her.�

Why do you charge for a hearing test?
Q
: My mother, who up until now has been a homebody, seems to have a new interest. Going to the casino seems to be her new passion and she is there a few times a week. Whenever I ask her to get together, she seems too busy. She has never been a gambler before, except for buying lottery tickets. Why in her 80s would she now be interested in gambling?
A: Casinos are full of seniors trying their luck at the slots. They welcome the senior customer, and encourage them to come by the busloads. The atmosphere can be very stimulating, with all the flashing lights, the casino noise, entertainment and refreshments. The cost is whatever you want to spend. It is also easy to be there solo if you choose to go alone. Chances are your

“I’ve known Dr. Kwon since he did general dentistry a long time ago. I really enjoyed him whenever I visited his office. As I got older, I eventually needed implants, so I went to his implant only practice in Metrotown. The staff at Chrysalis are real gems. They’re very kind, warm, and caring. From the first visit to finish, it was a fantastic experience. Also, I’ve never had pain during and after the procedure. Dr. Kwon is like a magician and he is extremely humble and always a delight to talk with.” — Charlie

When Ron Scott was a boy, he listened to Elvis’ Return to Sender through the walls of sister’s bedroom. Today he sings it himself, as Eternal E, an Elvis performer who’s appeared at festivals across North America, and in pubs and churches around Metro Vancouver. A renovation contractor by day, Scott has been an Elvis performer by night for more than four years, donning the costumes and personas of his idol’s various incarnations, from the hillbilly cat of the 1950s to the 1960s movie star to the big ticket concert Elvis of the 1970s. For now it’s a labour of love, earning awards at festivals and credibility along the way. “I do it for the sheer love of the man and what he stood for,” says Scott, 45. “I want to envision that energy and walk in his shoes. You start to feel a bit of what he felt on stage, the connection he had with his fans.” Scott says the enduring efforts of Elvis performers around the world have helped keep his memory alive 34 years after he died. “Without tribute artists, the memory of Elvis would be waning.” For Scott, most of those memories are good; listening to Elvis’ music on eight-track tapes, going to his movies. When Elvis died on Aug. 16, 1977, Scott says he was playing outside on a beautiful sunny day. “I heard the news on the radio and I was really shaken by it. That was the first major death of any consequence in my life. It made a big impression.” To commemorate that day, Scott has organized a gathering for Elvis fans in Metro Vancouver at the Old Admiral Pub and Grill in North Burnaby. “We all have a passion for Elvis,” says Scott. “Our celebration recreates the vigil that is in Graceland every year on the anniversary of his death.” The evening features performances by more than 10 Elvis tribute artists, as well as door prizes. It starts at 7 p.m. and runs until 10:30 p.m.
