CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER MULTICULTURAL AWARDS
Monday, October 24
WET LEAVES Remove wet leaves from your sidewalks, the walkways leading to your home, your porch steps and the porch itself. Wet leaves can become slippery and pose a hazard. Always help older family members up and down outside steps and walking along wet sidewalks to help prevent injuries. CHIMNEY Have your chimney inspected and cleaned by a professional prior to using your fireplace for the fall. Any cracks in and around the base of your chimney could release carbon monoxide into your home as you are burning a fire in the fireplace. A build-up of soot in the chimney itself could catch fire as the embers travel up the chimney. Also have the chimney inspector look for any bird’s nests in the chimney opening that could catch fire or stop carbon monoxide from escaping out. As part of your chimney maintenance, make sure all of the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the house have fresh batteries and operate properly. YARD CLEAN UP Any kind of vegetation is combustible. Mature trees, shrubs, grass, even your woodpile, are all potential fuels and can easily ignite. Managing the space around your house and buildings is of prime importance. Maintain a 15-ft fire safe zone around your home or building - remove perennial grasses and thin out overgrown bushes; remove dead branches or branches touching the ground.
The City of New Westminster created the Multicultural Awards Program to recognize the efforts of those that are making a difference in the lives of newcomers and promoting understanding, acceptance and good relationships among people of different cultural backgrounds. If you know of a person or an organization who you would like to see recognized for their outstanding contributions, please complete the nomination form, available on the city website: www.newwestcity.ca/multicultural_nominations. The form is simple to complete and submit and it an easy way to show your appreciation for the good work that is being done in New Westminster. The deadline to submit nomination forms is 4:30 pm on Wednesday, November 9, 2011. For more information, contact John Stark, Senior Social Planner, City of New Westminster, 604-515-3777.

Over in New Westminster, city hall is also active in preventing the proliferation of graffiti by enforcing its unsightly premises bylaw. Keith Coueffin, New Westminster’s manager of licencing and integrated services, said the process includes a final warning notice to remove the graffiti within 10 days. If it’s not done within that timeframe, city crews will remove it at the property owner’s expense. The “vast majority” comply, and city hall has the power to clean up the small percentage of properties whose owners don’t. The city has worked with some property owners to paint murals on exterior walls that would otherwise serve as blank canvases for vandals, the idea being that graffiti vandals won’t generally tag the work of artists. The same theory has been used on traffic signal controller boxes on the street. Coueffin said New Westminster was one of the first cities to cover them with decorative graffiti-resistant coatings, which deters the vandals. PLEASE SEE ADVICE ON A5

Winter preparation
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER
The days are shorter and cooler, the nights longer and colder. Fall is settling in. For gardeners, a little forethought and dirt under their fingernails now will mean a greener, healthier garden come spring, says Ariella Taylor, the horticulturist at KJM Urban Gardens’ new shop in the River Market at Westminster Quay. With most of her customers tending to small container gardens on their balconies or patios, that means making sure their plants and shrubs are in large enough pots so their roots don’t start growing upwards or against the containers’ walls. Dirt is nature’s best insulation against the cold. Those pots should also be made of thick, heavy clay or plastic, so they won’t crack when temperatures drop. Taylor says plants should be allowed to go dormant, so they shouldn’t be fertilized again until spring. But their soil should be kept moist, not saturated. Adding bark or leaf mulch also helps. “Plants sweat and the wind dries them out,” warns Taylor. If some plants, like tomatoes, had a particular problem with pests this past growing season, it might also be an idea to clean and disinfect the empty pots before storing them away so any eggs or larvae won’t survive to infect next year’s crop. Gardens don’t have to be drab and brown in the winter, says Taylor. There’s plenty of evergreen conifers, perennials, grasses and hellebores that thrive through gardening’s off-season, bringing splashes of colour and life. Getting a garden ready for winter “doesn’t take much time or effort, but you still have to have the base facts,” says Taylor. “You need to have basic information and an understanding of how the plants grow and what they need.”

• Mulch. For containers, use bark mulch or compost as it’s heavier than leaves and less likely to blow away. Mulch insulates the roots, improves soil structure, smothers weeds and encourages beneficial micro-organisms to live in the soil. Spread a 1- to 2-inch thick layer over the soil, but leave a gap around stems and trunks for air circulation. • Re-pot root-bound plants. Once roots have completely filled up the pot, there is very little soil left to insulate the plant from the cold. Choose a pot two to four inches bigger in diameter depending on the plant’s speed of growth. • Protect non cold-hardy plants. Bring tropical plants back inside, check for signs of pests and spray with insecticidal soap if required. Certain plants like windmill palms can stay outside but should be wrapped with burlap to insulate them. Place other plants in a location that’s out of the wind. • Don’t forget to water, especially if it’s been windy. • Bring non frost-proof pots inside. Terra cotta and thin-walled plants won’t reliably make it through winter without cracking. • Spruce things up. Add colour and interest to fall and winter pots by planting small conifers, broadleaf evergreens or evergreen perennials and grasses. Plan for spring by popping some bulbs in the bottom of the pot.

Advice: ‘Deal with it right away’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE
Wright, Crosty have company in election battle; three candidates for each spot on city council
A3
Cap’s Bicycle Shop owner Gord Hobbis said graffiti isn’t really an issue for merchants in the Sapperton neighbourhood, but that’s likely due to the fact they’re quick to clean it up. Recently, he showed up at his shop to find the steps on one of his buildings had been tagged. Within a couple days he was painting over it. “When there is graffiti, the thing to do is deal with it right away,” Hobbis said. “It’s like advertising. If they’re advertising and it gets erased the next day it’s not effective.” So the vandals move on. As for Neil Davies at Jubilee Cycle, Burnaby’s anti-graffiti team are working with him to clean up the mess. In recognition of his efforts to clean up his building, Wipf offered to pay for the paint and bring in a team of volunteers to repaint the wall. Meanwhile, along with recently-installed security cameras, Davies is pondering more preventive measures, such as a mural. “It’s in the works,” he said.

Two new challengers emerged for New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright in his bid for reelection and there were no significant no shows for school trustee as nominations closed Friday. The race was expected to be a two-way battle between Wright and former Quayside Residents Association president James Crosty. However, the duo will be joined by Vance McFayden, founder of the Royal City Pride Society and a 2010 New Westminster citizen of the year nominee, and Francois Nantel, a former federal candidate for the Green Party. McFadyen said New Westminster residents are not being heard, and his previous work in the human resources industry will help him deal with all the little things that don’t get paid attention to in the city. “Both Wayne and James Crosty are nice guys, they’ve proven themselves that they are people who work hard for the city. I feel there is an
alternative there, and that’s me,” said McFadyen. “I’m a strong leader and a great communicator. I’ve got great listening skills.” Although there are only six spots on council, 18 candidates have signed up including all of the incumbents—Jonathan Cote, Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy, Betty McIntosh, Bob Osterman and Lorrie Williams. Their most formidable opponents are likely to be former three-term councillor and NDP MLA Chuck Puchmayr, as well as another ex-councillor, Cal Donnelly. As announced recently, Voice New Westminster is fielding four candidates— 12th Street Business Association president John Ashdown, David Noshad, former Queensborough Residents Association president Gavin Palmer, and two-term Arts Council of New Westminster president Susan Wandell. Other candidates for council are: James Bell, Vladimir Krasnogor, Chelsea Lawrence, Gerry Liu, Paul Mulangu and Harp Sihota. There are 12 candidates for seven school trustee positions but the list does not include 31-year school board veteran Brent Atkinson and incumbent Lori Watt. Also absent is Hume Park parent advisory chair Nikki Binns who had announced
Wednesday, October 19, 2011 NewsLeader A5
last month her intention to run for the board. She said her family would take up too much time for her to do the job justice. “At this time I couldn’t commit my fullest attention to running for the board,” said Binns. “My family comes first, so I’ve decided to step out of the race.” However, she will continue to fight to keep Hume Park open. “Absolutely, that goes without saying,” Binns said. “I’ll still be actively involved in the community, just at a lesser level.” Binns had sought endorsement for the New Westminster Labour Council but did not get it. Incumbents seeking another term include board chair Michael Ewen, who has been a trustee for 32 years, Casey Cook, Jim Goring, Lisa Graham and James Janzen. District parent advisory council chair MaryAnn Mortensen and lawyer Brenda McEachern-Keen will join Cook, Goring and Graham on Voice’s trustee slate. Bell has taken the unusual step of running for both the board of education and council. Others seeking spots are Richmond teacher Jonina Campbell, James Pepa, David Phelan and Glen Richmond.

—EDITORIAL—
An awakening occupation The protesters occupying financial districts around the world are expressing a growing frustration that governments and their financial policies are losing touch with the people they’re supposed to serve. Instead, the rich are getting richer while the rest are being left behind. The voices of discontent and disaffection first gathered and rose up on Wall Street, where they denounced taxpayer-funded bailouts of huge financial institutions that were supposed to correct mistakes they’d made but instead lined executives’ pockets with huge bonuses. The protests have since spread to countries where years of corruption or short-sighted policy have put economies in peril, costing people their livelihoods, darkening the prospects for future generations. It might be easy to dismiss such concerns in Canada, where the economy and unemployment levels have been fairly stable since the last recession. The thousands of protesters who filled Robson Square in Vancouver and Bay Street in Toronto on Saturday petered down to a few hundred on Monday. But our politicians should pay attention. The gulf between the haves and have-nots is growing. Everywhere. For most working people, wages have stagnated over the past five years while the cost of living continues to soar. In Metro Vancouver, a litre of gas costs 25 cents more than it did in October 2010. That 22 per cent increase eventually trickles into everything we consume. A modest, aging bungalow in Burnaby or New West now commands almost a million dollars, out of reach for most people earning even a decent income. The middle class is the foundation of economic and political stability around the world. It’s being crushed by corporate greed and government policy that cultivates it. While most of that middle class may not be downtown sleeping in tents this week, their own fears and frustrations are being awakened by the occupiers.

Question of the week
action on another front. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for on-reserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves. A similar agreement was signed in 2006 for aboriginal schooling. Alas, five years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress there, with resolution possible by the end of this year. Sto:lo Tribal Chief Doug Kelly, chair of the First Nations Health Council, says its financing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes. B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and mining deals, will bring treaties closer. Pierre’s blunt warning must have been heard in Ottawa. It appears the Sliammon treaty has been located and will receive federal blessing this week. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

I just read your article on the proposal to transform the old Port Mann Bridge into a park. Wow. With all that is going on in our great country and our beautiful province, to think that there would be funding for this “idea” leaves me speechless. I have never heard of a more crazy idea. What purpose would this serve? We have parks, great parks. Why don’t we all get out there and enjoy the ones that we have? But it does leave me wondering if there would be a toll for the park?

Residents just want train companies to keep promise Re: Shall we return to 1800s? (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 14) I have to ask Sandra Jaser: why do you so strongly oppose this group of people who are trying to make their neighbourhoods more livable? Will you be directly affected in some way if they manage to achieve their goal? Will it benefit you to keep these neighborhoods lower in value than the rest of New West? Do you not want the increase in property tax revenue that will result in their value going up? I hope there is a logical reason other than “the trains were here first.”

Radio waves a red herring I have been very curious as to why the government (BC Hydro) has “allowed” the media and the public to debate the “safety” of smart meters. It’s not the radio waves that are going to hurt you, it is the invasion of your privacy that is at stake. These meters are capable of gathering information and storing it, selling it or whatever they want to do about your life forever!

Excessive costs in this city Re: Seniors add to changing face of NW Homelessness (NewsLeader, Oct. 12) It concerns me that our city has come to this! “We’re starting to see alarming increases in seniors having great difficulties staying in their homes and staying in their communities,” said New Westminster Homelessness Coalition co-chairman Chuck Puchmayr in the article. Is it possible that excessive taxes, utility increases, wage and salary increases exceeding four per cent yearly may have something to do with our demise? As a senior, I know it does! Keeping up with the cost of living in this city on a fixed income is not sustainable. What can we seniors do? We can appeal to our mayor to cut the spending, cut the benefits to special interest groups running the city. Kick out the greedy councillors who voted for a nine per cent electrical rate increase when six per cent was doable. Kick out the councillors who brought us the Living Wage Policy resulting in $20 per hour pay for minimal tasks to those already receiving a fair wage. We seniors are an enterprising bunch but can’t access minimal employment for pay, but boy can we volunteer. Don’t give up yet “Golden Oldies.” We have an election around the corner so be sure to vote for a council who can really make a positive change. John Ashdown Voice candidate for city council

NIMBY stands for “Not In My Backyard” but I’m pretty sure that all the people that live near a rail line want (myself included), is for our train-operating neighbours to work with us a bit and stand by the agreement that they made with us. No one seems to object to the fact that the rail companies have not lived up to their side of the deal. I would think the self-appointed “judges of morality” might say something about that, but I guess they are busy looking for the next issue that has nothing to do with them to cast their judgment upon.

Re: Eddy on the money (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 14) Sheila Rebelato shares E.C. (Ted) Eddy’s opinion that there was something untoward in the purchase of the (former) Burr Theatre by Lafflines Comedy Club. She and Mr. Eddy seem to have chosen to forget the amount of time the building stood empty before Lafflines expressed interest in it. Both people were connected with the theatre company which went down with the Burr. If it was as wildly successful as they claim, it would still be operating, entertaining us with such memorable delights as Twouble at Twy’s Cwossing, Charley’s Aunt, Salterton Follies and other such confections as the public family audience has been clamouring for since the doors closed. Only time will tell the success of Lafflines and the separate attached theatre space. Perhaps the troupe could rent that space and save the cost of having to maintain an entire building, if they don’t mind having to share space with scruffy young folks who may say “Poop” into microphones. Comedians do not rely on grant money. If Lafflines has been given a subsidy, as Mr. Eddy has inferred, it would be the first in the history of stand-up. I have no direct stake in the future of the room, but comics in general get little enough respect without being the targets of sneering snobbery and innuendo. Mr. Eddy, please retire to your Norris cartoon and take your Greek Chorus with you. Paul G. Palmer New Westminster

LOUGHEED 604 421 3456
The New Westminster board of education is contemplating slashing its supply and services budget in half this school year to cover the $521,000 deficit from 2010-11. Secretary-treasurer Brian Sommerfeldt proposed the district drop its purchases of supplies from its budgeted $1.5 million to $750,000. That would not only make up for last year’s loss but also provide a cushion in case there are unexpected costs to take care of at the end of 2011-12. The district spent $2.3 million in supplies in 201011. However, trustees narrowly voted to table the proposal until its Oct. 25 meeting so staff can come up with some more numbers. Trustee Brent Atkinson said the district is expecting its enrolment figures to be more than budgeted, so per-student revenue coming from the province could be more than antici-

Employees at the Fraserside Community Services Society office on Seventh Street in New Westminster can look out their windows and watch as one of its benefactors rises from the ground. Bosa Properties and BlueSky Properties have begun their latest project, Viceroy, on Fifth Avenue near Sixth Street. On top of the density bonuses and development costs charges the building will contribute to the city coffers, the developers have decided to donate $1,000 for each of the 188 suites to be built in the 24-storey Uptown highrise to community organizations. At its groundbreaking ceremony last Thursday, the BlueSky Foundation revealed the first recipient would be Fraserside which will get $20,000. The idea came from the company’s operator, Dale Bosa, said Daryl Simpson, senior vice president of Bosa Properties. The intention is to do similar donations for all of BlueSky Properties’ future projects in the Lower Mainland. “It was [Dale Bosa] wanting

to do the right thing, to pay it forward,” said Simpson. “This will be going directly to charities.” The full $188,000 will be distributed over 24 months, and Simpson is inviting organizations to tell their story and why they should be a recipient. “They’re going to tell us what their need is,” said Simpson. Since Fraserside provides so many services to the community, including assisting low income families, help for those with development disabilities and mental health issues, counselling, emergency shelters and housing support, the foundation thought it would be a good place to start. “Fraserside has such a deep reach in the community. It’s
appropriate they’re the first recipient because they understand the needs of the New Westminster community better than we do,” said Simpson. In their 17 years working for Fraserside, administrators Bridget Speers and Diane Cairns said it was a first for them to have a developer come to them offering a contribution in conjunction with the building of a project. “We will sit down and do some planning. Dale and Daryl have given us significant direction on how the money is spent and we will use it wisely,” said Speers. “We’re really honoured to be the first recipient.” Organizations wishing to apply for funding should go to www.blueskyproperties.ca.

Thrifty Foods co-founder dies By Erin McCracken BLACK PRESS
He was a man who, in his retirement, gave more of himself and his accumulated wealth than anyone could have expected. But Alex A. Campbell Sr.’s body gave out on him too soon. The Thrifty Foods cofounder, community booster and philanthropist died last Tuesday at age 70, after a lengthy illness. His wife, Jo, remembered her husband of 49 years as an “amazing man who loved life.” “He constantly gave of himself to improve the lives of others,” she stated in a release. “He believed strongly in the importance of paying it forward—giving back in gratitude of what you have received. His dedication to outstanding community service stands as an example to us all, and he will be dearly missed.” The Victoria-born Campbell worked to help various charities on the Island after retiring from the grocery business, both in a leadership role and as a face for fundraising efforts. Campbell contributed more than $2 million in personal and corporate donations to
the Order of British Columbia in 1999 and a 2011 Leadership Victoria award. “I used to kid him about his trophy room in his (North Saanich) home—that it’s just mind-boggling,” said a very emotional Ernie Skinner, who, together with Campbell, founded Thrifty Foods in 1977. “I would kid him that he was going to have to expand it if he kept going at that rate.” Only a few close friends and family members were privy to Campbell’s private CONTRIBUTED PHOTO side. “He could take a Alex Campbell, co-founder of Thrifty Foods, which opens its New Westminster store in joke even if it was directed at him, Sapperton today, died last week at age 70. which I made sure, in a lot of cases, it the Victoria Hospitals Founwas,” Skinner said dation, but gave much more chuckling. in terms of his time. “That was my duty as his “He was one of those peopartner.” ple that made you want to be Campbell was highly your best whenever you were regarded for his people skills around him,” said Melanie and business prowess.

Thrifty Foods, which grew to 20 stores on Vancouver Island, Salt Spring Island and the Lower Mainland, was named one of Canada’s 50 best-managed companies four years running. Among his many accolades, Campbell was presented an honourary doctorate of laws by the University of Victoria in 2009. And given his generosity, leadership, unique customer service approach and humble personality, it was an easy decision for the business faculty to recognize him as its 2010 Distinguished Entrepreneur of the Year, said Ali Dastmalchian, dean of UVic’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business. “He really represented what this business school, in many ways, stands for,” Dastmalchian said. “His thinking around service has always been ahead of his time.” Campbell was also a champion of the B.C. Cancer Foundation. He chaired its $10-million Inspire the World fundraising campaign and with his wife, donated $1 million to the campaign. The B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre’s new patient and family support centre was named in their honour. newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

My favorite subject to study is History because it is extremely interesting. My future goal is to be an actor, so I am taking acting workshops to learn more. I have been delivering the New Westminster NewsLeader for about 2½ years. I currently deliver two paper routes in my neighbourhood, which has enabled me to buy a dog.
