MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERGord Hobbis, of Cap’s Cycles, tends to some minor tagging at his Sapperton store. While small and mostly out of sight, Hobbis says leaving it would be an invitation to more ambitious taggers.

Graffi ti not only is an unwanted expense for businesses, residents and cities, it can also create a feeling for people that their neighbourhoods are unsafe. But a vigilant response can keep it in check

PREPARE FOR THE FALL SEASONAutumn is the time of year when the weather starts to cool and children and parents are busy preparing for back to school. New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services recommends home and building owners take the time to reduce injury and fi re risk and properly prepare your property for the upcoming fall season.

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 fi replace 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 fi re in the fi replace. A build-up of soot in the chimney itself could catch fi re 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 fi re 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 fi re safe zone around your home or building - remove perennial grasses and thin out overgrown bushes; remove dead branches or branches touching the ground.

NWPS OPPORTUNITIES

The New Westminster Police Service is looking to recruit Reserve Constables and Crime Prevention Unit Volunteers who are trustworthy and dedicated to join our team. This is a great volunteer opportunity if you are considering a career in law enforcement, or want to give back to the Royal City.

Encourage quick clean up to deter vandals

By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

Neil Davies was choked.

The owner of Jubilee Cycle had just spent more than $5,000 to paint the exterior of the shop’s wedge-shaped building on Imperial Street in Burnaby. He’d wanted to cover over the years of patched-up graffi ti cleanups and spruce up his business.

Then two weeks later, it got hit again.

The rear wall that faces the SkyTrain tracks was scrawled with paint almost up to the roofl ine. Davies has learned it’s called being “pumper-sprayed,” where graffi ti vandals use old pumper-style fi re extin-guishers to shoot the paint higher than spray cans will allow.

“This is huge, this is mas-sive,” said Davies recently. “After going to the trouble of painting the building to get hit again.”

Davies isn’t alone among businesses and homes affected by graffi ti vandal-ism. It’s a problem across Metro Vancouver, but partcularly in areas visible from the SkyTrain line, like Burnaby and New Westmin-ster. For the past four years, Burnaby property owners have also had a hand in pre-

venting and cleaning it up.That’s when Kathy Wipf,

Burnaby city hall’s anti-graffi ti coordinator, was hired in response to a study conducted by the mayor’s task force on graffi ti. In 2009, she was joined by Burnaby RCMP Const. Shelby Mur-phy, one of the only full-time police offi cers in Canada focused on dealing with graffi ti.

A feeling of fearIn addition to the eco-

nomic costs to business—the cost of cleaning up graffi ti and the drop in customers if the neighbourhood starts looking run down—Wipf said there are other costs to the crime.

“One of the things I noticed was how it brought fear into the community,”

she said, “because they felt they were being targeted.”

Burnaby city hall came up with an

approach comprised of four elements: eradication through a graffi ti bylaw, enforcement, education and prevention.

Before the bylaw, prop-erty owners didn’t need to clean up tags on their property. Now, they have to be removed within 14 days, or 48 hours if the graffi ti is of a prejudicial or profane nature.

“It’s important to realize these are victims,” Wipf said, noting her program will help with paint vouchers or com-

munity volunteer paint-outs.“The broken window

theory still applies to this,” said Murphy.

“If it’s left unfi xed it will bring other crime to the area.”

That, along with the fact that graffi ti vandalism can lead to other criminal behaviour, is also pointed out in the education portion of the program. Most of the paints and materials used in committing graffi ti vandalism is shoplifted, so Wipf and Murphy educate businesses on the need to keep such items under lock and key. They also tell par-ents what to look for if they suspect their children are involved in such vandalism.

The typical graffi ti vandal in Burnaby is aged 16 to 25,

primarily Caucasian and male, said Wipf. Some are not socially accepted “so they seek out this recogni-

tion not realizing all they’re being recog-nized for is their tag name and not who they are.”

And in addition to educating youth on the risks of becoming involved in the graffi ti subculture, they’re also made aware of the

negative health effects of inhaling spray paints while committing the crime.

As for enforcement, culprits need to be caught in the act so the team encour-ages people to call 911 if they see such vandalism in progress, or 604-298-TAGS when it’s not. Last summer, Burnaby RCMP partnered with CN Railway police and

Coquitlam RCMP in a joint forces sting to catch graffi ti vandals. Three adults and one young offender were arrested during the four-day operation. And one woman was arrested at Metrotown mall for a separate graffi ti crime.

Aiming to deterOver in New Westminster,

city hall is also active in preventing the proliferation of graffi ti by enforcing its unsightly premises bylaw.

Keith Coueffi n, New West-minster’s manager of licenc-ing and integrated services, said the process includes a fi nal warning notice to remove the graffi ti 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 graffi ti vandals won’t gener-ally tag the work of artists.

The same theory has been used on traffi c signal controller boxes on the street. Coueffi n said New Westminster was one of the fi rst cities to cover them with decorative graffi ti-resistant coatings, which deters the vandals.

Winter preparation

Ariella Taylor’s top fall garden tasks

• 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 benefi cial 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 fi lled 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 reli-ably 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.

The days are shorter and cooler, the nights longer and colder. Fall is settling in.For gardeners, a little forethought and dirt under their fi ngernails 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.”

Cap’s Bicycle Shop owner Gord Hobbis said graffi ti 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 fi nd the steps on one of his buildings had been tagged. Within a couple days he was painting over it.

“When there is graffi ti, 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-graffi ti team are work-ing 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 ponder-ing more preventive mea-sures, such as a mural.

“It’s in the works,” he said.

Wright, Crosty have company in election battle; three candidates for each spot on city council

By Grant GrangerNEWSLEADER

Two new challengers emerged for New Westmin-ster Mayor Wayne Wright in his bid for reelection and there were no signifi cant 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 presi-dent 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 can-didate 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 Oster-man and Lorrie Williams.

Their most formidable opponents are likely to be former three-term councillor and NDP MLA Chuck Puch-mayr, as well as another ex-councillor, Cal Donnelly.

As announced recently, Voice New Westminster is fi elding four candidates—12th Street Business Asso-ciation president John Ash-down, 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 posi-tions 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

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 fi rst, so I’ve decided to step out of the race.”

However, she will continue to fi ght 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 endorse-ment for the New Westmin-ster Labour Council but did not get it. Incumbents seek-ing another term include board chair Michael Ewen, who has been a trustee for 32 years, Casey Cook, Jim Gor-ing, Lisa Graham and James Janzen. District parent advisory council chair Mary-Ann 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.

VICTORIA – Finally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it.

Releasing the B.C. Treaty Commission’s 19th annual report last week, Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre announced she has asked for a one-year extension to her term, to see the organi-zation through its second decade. And if things don’t change, particularly in Ottawa, then “shut ’er down.”

The commission is the independent “keeper of the process,” and the chief commissioner is appointed by agree-ment between the federal and pro-vincial governments and B.C.’s First Nations Summit. Its job is to facilitate talks and dole out funds to aboriginal groups researching and negotiating treaties. As of this year, they have dis-bursed $500 million, $400 million of it loans that must be repaid out of treaty settlements.

“We are 19 years into the process, and we have, just on the First Nations side, a half a billion dollar investment, and when are we going to start seeing a return on that investment?” Pierre asked.

It’s safe to assume that there has been at least that much spent by the federal and provincial gov-ernments as well. And after a burst of progress with the Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties, and

a controversial deal with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, costly inaction resumed.

Sliammon First Nation negotiators fi nalized a treaty in 2009. Off it went to Ottawa, where it has languished ever since, waiting for a set of initials that would allow a ratifi cation vote by about 1,000 Sliammon people near Powell River. At stake is a

settlement in which B.C. contributes 8,300 hectares of Crown land and Ottawa provides $37 million to com-pensate for a century of trespass and resource extraction from Sliammon territory.

(You can object to all this and try to live in the past, as B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins does, but we now have stacks of high court deci-sions that make aboriginal title real and inescapable, if not well defi ned.)

Other commissioners agreed with Pierre about Ottawa’s role, including

the federal appointee, Jerry Lampert. “The Canadian system is such that they are

constantly going back to Ottawa for mandates for their individual negotiators,” Lampert said. “This is bureaucratic, and it plays against the idea that we’re in a real negotiation.”

With a majority government in Ottawa, and B.C. MP John Duncan as federal aboriginal affairs minister, there is hope of movement. And there is

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, fi ve 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 fi nancing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes.

B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aborigi-nal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and min-ing 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.

The protesters occupying fi nancial districts around the world are expressing a growing frustration that governments and their fi nancial 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 fi rst gathered and rose up on Wall Street, where they denounced taxpayer-funded bail-outs of huge fi nancial 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 pros-pects for future generations.

It might be easy to dismiss such concerns in Canada, where the economy and unem-ployment levels have been fairly stable since the last recession. The thousands of protest-ers who fi lled 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 fi ve 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 awak-ened by the occupiers.

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 pur-chase of the (former) Burr Theatre by Laffl ines Comedy Club.

She and Mr. Eddy seem to have chosen to forget the amount of time the building stood empty before Laf-fl ines 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, Char-ley’s Aunt, Salterton Follies and other such confections as the public family audience has been clamour-ing for since the doors closed.

Only time will tell the success of Laffl ines 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 Laffl ines has been given a subsidy, as Mr. Eddy has inferred, it would be the fi rst 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.

Park idea pie in the skyI 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? Dogs extra?

Residents just want train companies to keep promiseRe: Shall we return to 1800s? (Let-ters, 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 benefi t 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 fi rst.”

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.

Radio waves a red herringI 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 gather-ing information and storing it, sell-ing it or whatever they want to do about your life forever! All of your habits will be identifi ed and this is a direct page out of George Orwell’s book 1984. If you don’t believe me then simply go to the Internet either at home or at the library and look up http://goldsilver.com/video/smart-meters. Watch this video and then think for yourself. This just might be the most serious intrusion of your life.

Excessive costs in this cityRe: 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 diffi culties staying in their homes and staying in their communities,” said New Westminster Homeless-ness 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! Keep-ing up with the cost of living in this city on a fi xed income is not sus-tainable. What can we seniors do?

We can appeal to our mayor to cut the spending, cut the benefi ts to special interest groups running the city. Kick out the greedy council-lors 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 Old-ies.” We have an election around the corner so be sure to vote for a council who can really make a posi-tive change.

The New Westminster board of education is contemplating slashing its supply and services budget in half this school year to cover the $521,000 defi cit 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 2010-11.

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 fi gures to be more than budgeted, so per-student revenue coming from the prov-ince could be more than antici-

pated and may help reduce last year’s defi cit without cutting into this year’s budget.

He also wants to know how much the district spends on supplies and services before determining what should be cut from the budget.

“It’s early enough before we make any changes,” said Atkinson. “This is really changing the supply and services budget from what it was two years ago. I understand we have to balance our budget ... [but] I believe the board will balance the budget by June 30 of next year.”

Board chair Michael Ewen said Sommerfeldt’s proposal was reasonable.

“That’s substantial, but really the choices are you do a 50 per cent cut of supplies or you cut staff,” said Ewen.

“Ninety-one per cent of our costs are staff costs. It’s one or the other. We’re not thrilled about this, but circumstances

have conspired that we have to make changes. Thank goodness for the business company or we’d be in the glue for more.”

The district’s defi cit for 2010-11 was actually about

double the fi nal number but was reduced only because its business company made a profi t and was able to pay back $500,000 of the loan the district gave it a few years ago.

Paper, writing materi-als and arts supplies are “critical to teaching

but at the end of the day what is most critical is having the body in front of the class room for the kids that need it,” said Ewen.

“It seemed to me that the supplies area of the budget was a more palatable area of the budget to deal with.”

Cutting $750,000 in staff would mean a reduction of about eight employees, said Ewen.

It would be mostly support staff, but with provincial law requires certain guidelines on class size and composition be met so it would unlikely be teachers or educational

assistants being laid off if the staff budget was cut.

“If we have to do some-thing it’s more likely to be the custodial area, the maintenance area, those sorts of things,” said Ewen.

Atkinson said New Westminster has always

budgeted to spend all of its funds without a contin-gency reserve because that would mean holding back money from students.

“We wanted to deliver the maximum services that we can,” he said.

He added the board

doesn’t have the option of making any staff cuts because “our staff is cut to the bone.”

Even if the enrolment fi gures result in the district getting more money than expected from the educa-tion ministry that may

mean New Westminster might even have to hire more staff.

“We don’t have much wiggle room,” he said.

Atkinson proposed the district could save some money by doing less mar-keting or travel.

Ewen said a reduction in the use of lawyers for various issues, or using counsel employed by the public sector employers association could also save some money.

Donating $1,000 per suite in Uptown highrise


Employees at the Fraserside Community Services Society offi ce 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 organi-zations.

At its groundbreaking ceremony last Thursday, the BlueSky Foundation revealed the fi rst 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 chari-ties.”

The full $188,000 will be distributed over 24 months, and Simpson is inviting organiza-tions 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 com-munity, including assisting low income families, help for those with development disabilities and mental health issues, coun-selling, emergency shelters and housing support, the founda-tion thought it would be a good place to start.

“Fraserside has such a deep reach in the community. It’s

appropriate they’re the fi rst recipient because they under-stand 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 fi rst for them to have a developer come to them offering a contribution in conjunction with the build-ing of a project.

“We will sit down and do some planning. Dale and Daryl have given us signifi cant direc-tion on how the money is spent and we will use it wisely,” said Speers. “We’re really honoured to be the fi rst recipient.”

Organizations wishing to apply for funding should go to www.blueskyproperties.ca.


Bosa project pledges to give back to community

Dale Bosa, head of Bosa Properties, presents a $20,000 cheque to Diane Cairns and Bridget Speers of Fraserside Community Services Society, the fi rst recipient of Bosa’s $1,000-a-suite pledge.

By Erin McCrackenBLACK 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 co-founder, 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 outstand-ing community service stands as an example to us all, and he will be dearly missed.”

The Victoria-born Camp-bell worked to help various charities on the Island after retiring from the grocery business, both in a leader-ship role and as a face for fundraising efforts.

Campbell contributed more than $2 million in personal and corporate donations to

the Victoria Hospitals Foun-dation, but gave much more in terms of his time.

“He was one of those peo-ple that made you want to be your best whenever you were around him,” said Melanie McKenzie, the foundation’s executive director.

Campbell received numer-ous awards in the later stages of his career, as well as in retirement, including

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 Camp-bell, 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 side.

“He could take a joke even if it was directed at him, which I made sure, in a lot of cases, it was,” Skinner said

chuckling. “That was my duty as his

partner.”Campbell was highly

regarded for his people skills and business prowess.

“I think his business can be defi ned by his approach to people—good, warm-hearted, engaged in community,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin.

With Campbell as CEO,

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 acco-lades, Campbell was pre-sented an honourary doctor-ate 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 Entre-preneur 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,” Dast-malchian 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 Van-couver Island Centre’s new patient and family support centre was named in their honour.

Q : An attractive woman in our offi ce has just been promoted over another more experienced female employee. It seems unfair and some of us are quite upset. Should we express our concerns to man-agement?

You and your colleagues might have valid concerns but before you prejudge the selection of this woman, it may be productive to investigate the hiring pro-cess, the criteria, and the skills she may have offered.

While some studies have suggested that attractive job applicants are often selected over similarly qualifi ed less attractive candidates, it is important to real-ize that beauty is relatively sub-jective and diffi cult to measure.

In this instance, perhaps she offered some relevant experi-ences the hiring committee felt would her make her useful and more productive than the other candidate.

If applicable education was one of the factors in the decision, you may discover in fact she offered superior learning that was thought to give her an “edge.”

Some people interview well and are especially adept at presenting themselves in a professional manner. Perhaps this woman impressed her interviewers suf-fi ciently to persuade them she would be the best choice.

She could have a well-defi ned and stra-tegic career plan which she articulated and successfully demonstrated that the promotion would be consistent with her

plan—and the goals of the company.Incidentally, you say she was promoted

over another employee; however, you may discover the employee chose not to submit an application; in other words, she did not compete with the successful candidate.

Are you and some of your co-workers jealous of this woman and envy her promotion? You might even resent her beauty which, after all, she simply inher-ited from her parents.

Let us assume, however, you have determined she was chosen for this position in part because she was thought to be attractive. Can you provide reliable evidence to support your contention? Are there hiring committee members who are willing to acknowledge this view?

Should she be rejected—for being beautiful—in order to avoid the possibility that someone may raise the matter?

Although attractive employees may on occasion receive preferential consideration, I would encourage you to accept this woman’s selection and assume the best. You can’t expect to overturn the decision in any event and she may turn out to be the ideal person for the job!

Zest of NEW WEST, a taste tour of the city’s eateries, is an initiative of the Hyack Festival Association. It returns for its fi fth year from Oct. 21-30. Visit www.zestofnewwest.com for details. This is a profi le of one of the restau-rants’ chefs.

Bill Glavas has

owned Gino’s Restau-rant at 431 East Colum-bia St. for four years. He’s been a chef for 30 years, and has cooked with chefs around the world. He says he combines what he’s learned while living and working in places like Greece, Tenerife and Amsterdam into the cooking he does at his restaurant.

Q : What is your favou-rite ingredient to cook with? Why?

A: Angus beef—you can not beat Canadian beef. It’s tender, it’s fl avourful. I’m really picky on the quality of food that I get. I’m not going to serve some-thing I won’t eat.

Q : What is your favourite vegetable; favourite way to prepare it?

A: I love roasted veggies in the oven with tomatoes and fresh basil.

Q : What are your top essentials that you must have stocked in your pantry?

A: Salt, pepper, butter, fl our, wine, beer, meat, milk, pota-toes, oil.

Q : What would you be if you weren’t a chef?

A: I love fast cars.

Q : What were you in your former life (i.e. before being a chef)?

A: A teenager who didn’t want to go to school.

Q: What is your favourite meal that you like to eat?

A: Meat and potatoes.

Q : What is your favourite meal that you like to prepare for guests at home?

A: BBQ, surf and turf always. I’m a big Canadian beef guy and the fi rst thing we missed when we lived in Greece for six months was Canadian beef. Surf would be prawns. I have a secret spice that I’ve developed over the years of cooking that I use on almost everything. I have a special seasoning just for steak, I have a seasoning for my vegetables and I have a special seasoning for my Greek dishes.

Q : How did you get into this fi eld; what inspired you to take the path of culinary arts?

A: My father. He owned Royal Oak Pizza and when I was growing up my brother and I got put into the kitchen because we didn’t like school much. He inspired me when he was in the kitchen put-ting in long hours.

Q : Who do you consider to be your mentor in the world of “cheff-ing”?

A: My father

Q : What is your favou-rite music to cook to?

A: Pop. Top 40. I listen to everything, as long as it’s upbeat. When I’m in the kitchen, the radio is on in the back-ground, but if there’s a

hockey game I turn on the TV. You can’t have it quiet in the kitchen.

Q : What do you do in your spare time?

A: Spend time with my family. Take my son to karate. I try to spend as much time with him as I can. Any waking moment I have away from the restaurant I like to spend with my family.

Q : If you were on a desert island, and had only three ingredients to cook with—coconut, lime and bananas—what would you prepare? p.s. you have fi re.

A: I would catch a fi sh, wrap it in the banana leaf with lime and coconut shavings. Then I’d sit back while it cooks and drink the coconut milk while snacking on the banana.

Served for 31 yearsThe divisiveness that has

developed in the last three years on the New Westminster board of education is behind trustee Brent Atkinson’s deci-sion not to seek reelection after 31 years on the board.

Atkinson said during his tenure, the second longest in the province behind only New Westminster board chair Michael Ewen, trustees always worked through their political differences to come to a con-sensus. That is until this last term.

“The last three years the board has not been as consenus building as I would have liked to it have been,” said Atkinson.

“I’m hopeful the issue will be resolved in the choice of the

new trustees. But that remains to be seen. I’ve belonged to a lot of boards and organizations for numerous years. I’ve been very committed to what I do, but if I don’t enjoy what I do then it’s not some-thing I will continue to do.”

When Atkinson was fi rst elected as a trustee he had children in elementary school.

Now he has a grand-daughter in university. He wants to spend more time with his grandchildren and family, and he has a lot of other business commitments that need his attention. However, he will remain as the chief execu-tive offi cer of the district’s business company which is an unpaid position.

“It’s been fun and I’ve enjoyed it,” said Atkinson.

One thing he didn’t enjoy was campaigning. But with the

exception of one year, he kept on getting elected.

“I’m thankful I was successful and many people supported me during the elections,” said Atkinson.

He vowed he wasn’t “going to disappear off the face of the commu-nity” and intends to par-

ticipate in the campaign lead-ing up to the Nov. 19 election more than he ever did while trying to get elected. Atkinson intends to lend his support to some new candidates, although he wouldn’t say who until the fi nal deadline closed Friday.
