Mom ‘at a loss’ if strike continuesDay care could be $3,200 for special needs songrant [email protected]

If the teachers’ strike continues into the new school year, New Westminster mom Anne Bélanger could have a difficult decision with disastrous financial implications no matter which direction she chooses.

Bélanger is worried she’ll either have to quit her job to take care of her special needs son during school hours, or pay an additional $3,200 a month in day care.

“I really don’t know what to do,” said Bélanger at a press conference held at New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy’s constituency office Thursday.

“I don’t want to quit my job and be unable to support my family. I’m at a loss.”

Bélanger’s fear came about when she received a letter from the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living (SFSCL). It’s the organization that provides supported child development in New West and the Tri-Cities area under contract from the provincial Ministry of Child and Family Development.

Food truck fest jams Downtown; organizers look to expand in 2015grant [email protected]

This year no one went home hungry.

There were more than triple the trucks to feed the masses Saturday evening at the second annual Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest than the inaugural party in 2013.

Last year many of the 15 trucks that showed ran out of food early

on because so many foodies had flocked to Columbia. This year there were 52 trucks, along with eight vendors from the Royal City Farmers Market, and they were prepared for the onslaught.

And there was a huge onslaught—with Columbia jammed from Sixth Street to the other side of Fourth Street.

“It was pretty crazy. There were points where it was very busy, but overall positive feedback where

the lineups were a lot less than last year and the variety of trucks were better. We got way more positive feedback than last year,” said

Kendra Johnston, Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association executive director. “I would say they’re [the truck owners are] beyond happy. Everybody said they wanted to come back.”

Johnston said she could see the festival taking up the entire street like it does for its annual

Show & Shine because so many of the trucks, and people, were squeezed close to together.

“The street traffic was very busy at times, so it was tough to get through. We’d like to see more space next year and make people more comfortable,” said Johnston.

There calls on social media for the festival to be held more often.

Johnston said the BIA might look at holding it twice a year.

“It’s a possibility. I wouldn’t want to do it too often because it would lose its specialness in a way.”

Infocus OpInIOn page 6 | Letters page 7 | Back tO schOOL page 12

The letter said while the society knows it will still have funding for before- and after-school care “should the job action go into September we will not be able to fund the additional hours” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (The ministry also subsidizes all-day care for special needs children during the summer.)

The Ministry of Education is responsible when school is in session.

Bélanger’s eight-year-old son Miles is entering Grade 4 at Herbert Spencer elementary. He has spinal muscular atrophy and needs a wheelchair to get around. At school he has an educational assistant to help him with his needs.

When Bélanger inquired how much all-day care would cost she was told it would be approximately $3,200 a month more than the regular fee she pays

for day care.She was shocked. She tried to

find answers but couldn’t. When she talked to her employer about taking time off she received a lot of blank stares. If she continues to work her paycheque would be decimated.

“$3,200 is a mortgage payment, a car payment, food on the table. How are we supposed to manage?” said Bélanger.

In her view, hiring somebody herself isn’t a practical solution either.

“I can’t just hire a 15-year-old babysitter. There are so many facets to his life that are impacted by his disability,” she said. “At this point I’m going to have to fork it over.”

Frustrated, she went to Darcy. The NDP MLA contacted both ministries but wasn’t getting any answers either, so they decided to go public.

“[Miles] is falling between the

cracks. The government is not coming up with a solution,” said Darcy. “We’ve tried everything and at a certain point you’ve got to go to the public.”

Darcy said according to the Simon Fraser Society, 150 to 200 children in New Westminster and the Tri-Cities would be affected. That means, said Darcy,

thousands of families across the province could face similar dilemmas come September. Some of them have children with even higher needs than Bélanger’s son.

A Ministry of Child and Family Development statement said no final decision has been made on additional funding if the strike continues into the school year. It also said the ministry has not provided any information to its contractors that indicated it had made a final decision. However, the ministry said it is reviewing the strike’s implications while remaining hopeful a deal can be worked out.

Bélanger wasn’t impressed with the province’s offer earlier this summer of $40 a day per child to all parents if the strike continues into the school year.

“It barely makes a dent in my $3,200,” said Bélanger. “It’s laughable, shortsighted and it’s nothing short of bribery.”

Grant GranGer/newsLeaderAnne Bélanger, mother of an eight-year-old special needs son, holds a letter from her child care provider saying she could be on the hook if an additional $3,200 a month if the teachers strike continues into the new school year.

Commercial space ‘either non-existent or non-desirable’Grant [email protected]

New West Cycle has put the brakes to its Downtown storefront.

The shop had its last day of business at its Sixth Street shop Sunday.

Owner Shawn Innes opened the store in April 2009 offering low-budget new, used, collector and quirky bikes along with accessories and repairs.

Innes said a lease issue with the landlord over an “unacceptable” heating system had escalated. The shop was given three months notice and New West Cycle has to be out of the building by the end of the month.

Innes intends to store his inventory and continue selling online. He doesn’t plan to open another shop in New West.

“The commercial space in New Westminster is either non-existent or non-desirable,” said Innes. “Realistically it’s a

seasonal business. I love it, and I put my heart and soul into it. But I’m not sure it’s a viable business.”

Innes also said the city stopped allowing him to put his bikes on the street as a drawing card. A tree and the storefront cover a lot of his signage so the outdoor bicycles helped attract customers. He’s not a fan of the city’s new central pay parking system either.

“There were parking meters in front for 30 years that

worked, but now we have a central meter that takes a long time to process and people don’t understand it,” said Innes. “For as much as I love being part of our community it’s just getting harder and harder to do business here.”

While New West Cycle had a niche market repairing old bicycles, often as the result of referrals from other bike shops, that had run its course too because parts were hard to find, said Innes.

New West Cycle closes shop

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER fILEShawn Innes opened his shop New West Cycle five years ago, but shut the doors for good on Sunday. ‘I’m not sure it’s a viable business,’ he says of owning a bike shop.

VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits.

On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception.

The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish. This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert.

At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been mainly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean

Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March.

“The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent.

A bus tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experience this way:

“At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks?

If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

Bleak summer for coastal ferry remake

With less than a week left before students are supposed to return to the classroom, there seems little reason to think they will.

Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown—one that is still coming.

It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards.

The BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute.

They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far.

The government also knows teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Their strike fund is dwindling, their resources drying up. And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by universities across the country.

Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been offered the salve of a $40-a-day payment.

BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would allow them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants.

But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. They have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. They have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suffer every day the schools remain closed.

And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict.

COMMENTTo say I enjoy soccer is an

understatement. I played for the NWSS soccer

team in the early 1960s and the New Westminster Fastback from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s and am a Whitecaps season ticket holder.

With interest I read the Whitecaps website where Mayor Wayne Wright discussed the virtues of bringing a USL franchise to Queen’s Park. The reasons cited by Mayor Wright are the “tremendous benefits to the city, including a new turf field, video scoreboard and lighting.”

There is no reference to reduced community use of Queen’s Park as a result of the USL takeover of this site. Queen’s Park has insufficient parking for the expected 3,500 spectators and neighbouring streets will bear the spillover.

It has only been within the last two or three years that large high-end lighting poles were

constructed and a new natural turf laid with the required substructure.

Why does that have to be replaced again? It looks perfect now.

It is bad enough that we lost the Exhibition grounds to fire in the 1930s. Some decades later lobbies were added to the front of both Queen’s Park Arena and Queen’s Park Arenex, neither of which kept within the architectural design of the original buildings.

The city now wants to redesign a historic baseball field which is aesthetically pleasing and mix it up with metal bleachers replacing the current wooden bleachers.

Further, high metal bleachers to be constructed along First Street will change the long views from First Street for the worse.

As a long-time resident of New Westminster, I believe Queen’s Park should not be used for private gain by

admitting a USL franchise, with infrastructure paid for by the city and also resulting in reduced access of this site by residents.

This is a rushed project, for private gain which reduces public access and further compromises the aesthetics of another Queen’s Park facility.

My vote would be for the Whitecaps to look elsewhere and for the City of New Westminster to consider the public use of the park.

Character, history and local use should count for a lot more than the interests of an uncertain private franchise.

The company developing the Morrison copper-gold mine near Smithers remains confident it can complete the project, despite a decision by the B.C. government to suspend its environmental assessment until an investigation into the Mount Polley mine dam breach is completed.

Pacific Booker Minerals “will comply with all the recommendations made by the independent engineering investigation and review panel and will construct and operate the Morrison mine in compliance with industry best practices, using proven technology and in full compliance with all permit requirements,” company director Erik

Tornquist said in a statement.

Environment Minister Mary Polak and Energy and Mines Minister announced the suspension this week. It’s the second setback the province has handed to Pacific Booker, which won a court decision last December after its permit was refused by the B.C. government.

Bennett said the Morrison tailings pond was one of the issues in the court case, and he and Polak decided it was in the best interests of the public and the mine proponent to wait. The Lake Babine First Nation intervened in the case, and its land claim as well as concerns about long-term effects on water quality in Morrison Lake were cited in the decision to withhold the mine permit.

Three mine engineering experts

have been given until Jan. 31 to report their findings on the cause of the Aug. 4 tailings dam breach at Mount Polley, a similar open-pit mine near Williams Lake.

Mount Polley owner Imperial Metals is nearing completion of its Red Chris project near Iskut in northwest B.C.

It has all provincial permits except for its tailings pond and the company has agreed to an independent review of its design and

construction before putting it into service.

A group of Tahltan Nation elders blocked a road to the Red Chris project after the Mount Polley incident.

“Red Chris should not be held up,” Bennett said. “There is a roadblock there now and the company is currently working around it, and also having I think some pretty fruitful discussions with the Tahltan Central Council.”

RE-NOURISH PROGRAM BY NUTRI-LAWN _____________________________As a small business, we feel it is important to be a part of the

community and help in any way we can. Five years ago that desire to help created our Re/nourish program. Re/nourish is our program to nurture the communities around us - both near and far - by giving back to them. Whether it be their greenery or their home.

This is why at Nutri-Lawn we say “we nourish lawns and lives.”

Every year for the last four years Nutri-Lawn has held an annual food drive with all proceeds going to local food banks as part of our Re/nourish program. Over the last four years we have received incredible response. In fact, because of our fantastic clients we have donated a total of 20,000 pounds of non-perishable food items!!

The annual execution of our food drive has been quite smooth largely due to the relationship between our staff and clients.

Our technicians leave � yers for our clients in the Summer as a reminder that the annual food drive is approaching. One day before our clients’ next scheduled application (in late August/September), a member of our client experience team calls every client to let them know our technician will be on their lawn and to remind them about our food drive. Our technicians then act as messengers and collect all the donations. If for any reason our clients forget to donate and call us later, we return to their property (even a month later) and collect their donation.

2014 marks our � fth annual Re/nourish Food Drive with a donation goal of 5,000 pounds, giving us a � ve-year total of 25,000 pounds of non-perishable food going directly to those in need. It would be wonderful if our message could be spread throughout New Westminster. Our of� ce on Fourteenth Street will be set up with a collection area if anyone wanted to come by and donate in person.

THE CHAMBER CANAWRAP EVENT __________________________________ CIVIC ELECTION 2014 THE CHAMBER WANTS TO KNOW! ____The advocacy team at the New Westminster Chamber of

Commerce has assembled its top ten questions to be asked to all candidates in this year’s municipal election.

Following a year of meetings and consultations with the business community we have identi� ed the top issues that are on businesses’ minds.

Nominations of� cially open September 30. The Chamber will send a congratulations package to each candidate with a request to respond to the questions. The responses will be featured verbatim on the Chamber’s website.

When nominations close on October 10 the Chamber team will assemble and review the responses given and provide commentary on the responses for our member’s review.

Our members represent the business community in New Westminster. There are issues that affect their ability to do business and electing business friendly representation is very important as we move forward.

Mayoral Candidate Forum at the Inn at the QuayOctober 28, 2014 • 7:00 pm- 9:00 pm

THE FUTURE OF CANADA POST AND ITS IMPACT ON YOUR BUSINESS _____________________On September 3, 2014 your Chamber of Commerce has

been invited to participate in a dialogue about the future of Canada Post, and its impact on the business community. Hosted by Deepak Chopra, the CEO and President of Canada Post, the format of the meeting is a round table discussion with both the head of the organization and other key business and community leaders.

The ability to send and receive correspondence with customers on a daily basis and in a cost effective manner is essential for the majority of businesses. The CFIB has conducted a survey of its 109,000 independent business owners. It found that Canada Post’s delivery services to businesses were either very important or somewhat important to 91% of the respondents. Canada Post has publicaly said that its current business model is unsustainable and they have stated a need to change their level of services to both residents and businesses alike.

This meeting represents our opportunity to bring your concerns right to the source. We need to hear from you before this time about how changes to the mail system would impact your business.

Is daily delivery and pickup essential to your business?

Would you be willing to pay for this service, or would you use a competing courier service?

Do you have any other comments that you would like us to pass on with regards to the changes you’ve been hearing about Canada Post?

Please contact the Chamber of� ce with your thoughts:www.newwestchamber.com

THANKS TO THE CHAMBER ______Charlie’s Petspa and all the businesses along Carnarvon

Street had an issue with parking during the construction of Plaza 88 towers and Shops at New West. The bus stop was put right in front of my dog daycare business. This made it very dif� cult for our customers to drop off and pick up their dogs. It also made it very challenging for dog walkers to get through the crowd of people waiting for the bus.

The Chamber really stepped up to the plate for us and communicated the issue to City Hall. They played a big role in getting our parking situation � xed on the 800 block of Carnarvon Street.

Now we have a loading zone in front as well as metered parking and the community and our customers are thrilled!

Thank you for being a great resource for the businesses in our community!

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight.

Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

Whether students purchase

lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow.

Offer nutrient-denSe fOOdS

Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

Limit fat intaKe

Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. It is recommended that kids get no more than 25 to 35 per cent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources.

Give KidS SOme CHOiCeS

Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps.

SmaLL CHanGeS add up

Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy

products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavour, and many of kids’ favourite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

BeveraGeS COunt, tOO

Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

NEW WEST’S A-LIST


Councillor accuses Surrey Docks and Port of ‘Gold-rush mentality’Grant [email protected]

The granting of a permit to allow Fraser Surrey Docks to transfer coal isn’t a surprise to some of the proposal’s opponents in New Westminster.

Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) approved the expansion project, capable of exporting four million tonnes of thermal coal annually, on Thursday.

Plans call for it to be shipped from Wyoming by train to the docks (FSD) which are directly across from New Westminster’s Queensborough and Quayside neighbourhoods. FSD will transfer it onto barges bound for Texada Island where it will be loaded on to freighters for export to China.

“It’s a bit of a disaster. Certainly to approve before they have a full health impact study done with health officers involved does [the process]

an injustice,” said Quayside Residents Association past president James Crosty, a long-time opponent of the proposal.

In approving the permit, PMV said studies by independent environmental consultant Golder Associates verified FSD’s findings on the potential impact. But Crosty questioned the validity of the findings because FSD won’t allow the air quality testing

Metro Vancouver and Fraser Health Authority’s medical health officers have called for. FSD has gone to court saying it doesn’t have to allow it because the transfer facility will be on federally owned and

regulated land.“It’s like saying they live in a

bubble,” said Crosty.FSD and PMV touted the

project as creating 25 full-time jobs and 25 indirect full-time jobs.

“All this for 25 jobs?” said Crosty. “It’s hypocritical for the industry to justify the export of U.S. coal for 25 jobs. You mean to say we can’t create 25 other

jobs, and they tell me solar and wind power are exceeding the jobs over the ones being created by mining that we have to bring this U.S. coal in.”

Crosty is worried New Westminster property values will deteriorate when the coal comes in. He said he knows of some residents who have sold their Quayside residences for that reason.

“It’s disheartening to know this will affect property values in a big way,” said Crosty. “Whether it’s a reality or not, it’s certainly a perception.”

He blasted the province for not speaking out against the project, and for approving the Texada transfer area without any notice. And he said the Transportation Safety Board report on the Lac Mégantic train disaster shows the federal government isn’t providing proper oversight.

“There’s a lack of political leadership in the process here, both federally and provincially,” said Crosty. “We have lost the ability of government to take care of us.”

Approval of coal port plan no surprise

Crosty

Please see studies, A16

What does it mean?

In recent weeks the number 25 has been appearing on our streets and doorsteps

more frequently than nature allows.

Why? We aim to find out and inform the public.

Some may say we are grasping at straws, but we welcome skeptics.

Soon we will have the proof we need.

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, chair of the city’s environment committee, said PMV and FSD brushed away every issue they could and deliberately froze out the chief medical health officers to chase money while they can.

“This is a gold rush mentality. Let’s sell as much of this American coal as we

can because the U.S. ports won’t take it. Let’s wash our hands of it and be done,” said McEvoy. “It’s a lot of money, and I’m sure there are jobs in Wyoming connected to this. But it’s also not for terribly long. This is expected to be about a 20-year type of thing.”

He said China knows it has health and environment problems and is working

toward not using coal as a heat source. “This [demand for coal] is going to be temporary … The attitude here is to make as much money as possible off of this while it still exists.”

McEvoy said FSD’s argument that Metro Vancouver’s bylaws don’t apply to them shows they’re worried about contravening them.

“If it’s safe, then why would you worry about the bylaw. These guys are jokers. They’ve been like this since the beginning,”

said McEvoy. “This is the arrogance we see of these bodies run by unelected people brushing off safety concerns.”

McEvoy said it’s similar to the lack of government oversight prior to the Lac-Mégantic train derailment disaster in Quebec July 6 last year and the Babine Forest Products sawmill explosion and fire in Burns

Lake in January 2012.“Legitimate concerns

were raised but not treated as legitimate. They were brushed aside,” said McEvoy. “Now we’re seeing the consequences.”

New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said it seemed the decision was inevitable from the onset.

“I am absolutely not surprised,” said Puchmayr.

“It is going to to have some very adverse impacts to the quality of life in our community.”

He warned it could get worse when the province replaces the Massey Tunnel with a bridge allowing deep-sea freighters to access the Fraser Surrey Docks.

“The barging (to Texada) is sugar coating to give people the belief it’s a smaller scale than it is,” said Puchmayr.

Port Metro Vancouver said its priority during the review process was to make sure any risks of adverse impacts were mitigated to acceptable levels. PMV vice-president of operations Peter Xotta said it was a decision that wasn’t taken lightly.

“Through our comprehensive project review process, stakeholder consultation, as well as third-party validated environmental and health studies, it was determined there are no unacceptable risks and the project should be permitted.”

The battle is likely not entirely over. Crosty has advocated against the proposal for two years including initiating a petition, which he claims received twice as many signatures from New Westminster residents than those who voted in the last civic election. Other groups have banded together across the Lower Mainland to fight the approval, only to see it get the green light from Port Metro Vancouver.

“We’ll have to redirect the passion,” said Crosty, citing the Metro Vancouver air quality court battle as one of the last hopes. “We did a hell of a job, but we still lost.”

Studies show ‘no unacceptable risks’: Port⫸ continued from page a15
