SkyTrain station security issues persistResident near 22nd Street says TransLink could do moreGrant [email protected]
Two years after he led a campaign to improve safety at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station, Kris Taylor remains dismayed at the response from TransLink and Transit Police when incidents are reported.
Taylor, who lives across Seventh Avenue from the station, reported last Saturday a child screaming “I want my mommy!” while being berated and slapped by an adult woman on the station’s platform. He phoned Transit Police, which is not connected to the emergency 911 system. He thought that might bring about a faster response and TransLink could stop the trains from running so no one could escape.
But the trains kept operating and the kid kept crying so he phoned back more than five minutes later. By the time New Westminster police arrived everyone had gone, said Taylor. Why, he wondered, hadn’t there been a TransLink employee calling it in?
Fireworks and concerts were a big hit at Quay, Queen’s ParkGrant [email protected]
What was arguably one of New Westminster’s best birthday bashes ever ended with a bunch of big bangs Monday.
After an absence of two years, the city concluded its Canada Day celebrations with a spectacular pyrotechnic display from a barge on
the Fraser River as spectators lined the boardwalk.
“The response was just fantastic. The crowd was larger than I could have even expected,” said Douglas Smith, executive director of the Hyack Festival Association.
The organization twinned its first Concerts on the Quay program of the summer season with the fireworks.
Earlier in the day, the City
of New Westminster’s Arts and Culture Commission staged the annual Canada Day bash at Queen’s Park, which drew hundreds of
people out to enjoy activities and entertainment that included popular children’s performer Charlotte Diamond.
In 2011, Hyack, which had put on Canada Day fireworks the previous two years, cancelled the night
light show.
They had been fired from a spot in Queensborough opposite the Westminster Quay that was no longer available because growing residential development made it impractical.
In addition, funding had been difficult to obtain, especially since the association also set off fireworks during the Hyack Festival in May and the annual FraserFest later in July.

LAWN SPRINKLING REGULATIONSLawn sprinkling regulations are in eff ect annually from June 1 through to September 30. The intent is for watering to take place in the early morning hours, when demand is low and evaporation is minimal. The policy aff ects both residential and nonresidential areas, and the permitted watering hours are summarized below:
1. Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more frequently, provided a permit stipulating conditions are fi rst obtained from the Engineering Department.
2. Hand-watering of fl owers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not aff ected by the regulations at this stage.
3. Car washing using a hose equipped with a spring loaded shut-off device is permitted.
Your cooperation will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.
If you require more information, please contact Engineering Operations at 604-526-4691. Thank you for your cooperation.

But this year, Smith said he and the Hyack board decided to focus their energies and money to have fireworks on the one night when people anticipate them—Canada Day.
“Absolutely Canada Day is the right day to have fireworks,” said Smith. “There’s a certain expectation of fireworks on Canada Day in a lot of
communities and we wanted to meet that expectation.”
He said if they had been held at the opening of Hyack Festival week in May it would have been rainy, windy and cold this year.
“Somebody is looking down upon us favourably. The weather yesterday was absolutely perfect, and there was even a slight breeze which is great for the fireworks,” said
Smith on Tuesday. “I was always very concerned about having fireworks during the Hyack Festival in May. It just seemed we were playing with fire, so to speak, no pun intended.”
Smith felt the first Concerts on the Quay of the season and the fireworks augmented each other well.
“The two tied in brilliantly. Judging by the reaction from the
crowd and the size of the crowd, which was magnificent. It was three or four deep all along the boardwalk and the Quay,” said Smith.
In the future, Smith would like to see the concerts moved from beside the River Market to Westminster
Pier Park once the Timber Wharf section is developed. That would allow for more people to gather in front of the stage and for more infrastructure to be brought in such as food services.
The fireworks finished off an all-day party that began with
the annual children’s entertainment at Queen’s Park.
“It was very successful, of course the weather had a lot to do with it. I would call it one of the best Canada Days we’ve ever celebrated in New Westminster,” said organizer Tony Antonias. “We had people milling all over the place.”
This year, Antonias and his committee raised money for
public art in the park through a pick-a-box auction. The six prize packages sold for more than $1,200 exceeding all the previous Canada Day auctions, said Antonias.
• The second of the Concerts on the Quay series features New Orleans-based blues artist Ray Bonneville Saturday, July 13, 5 to 9 p.m. The final concert is Saturday, Aug. 3 with Hans Theessink and Terry Evans.
Concerts would be good fit for Pier Park: Hyack
The Pattullo Bridge will be closed to all traffic for three weekends this summer while TransLink carries out repairs.
The closures are set for the weekends of July 20-21, Aug. 10-11 and Aug. 24-25 and run from 9 p.m. on the Friday night until 3 a.m. Monday.
The bridge will also be off limits to pedestrians and bikes. Crews will repair sections of the concrete deck and repave parts of the 76-year-old bridge.
TransLink will also review the condition of the driving surface and make improvements as necessary.
Any heavy rain on the three weekends would extend the work to a fourth weekend on Sept. 7-8, TransLink said.
It’s the first significant full closures of the Pattullo since a fire on the wooden trestle beneath the south approach forced it to shut down for nine days in 2009.
About 58,000 vehicles use the Pattullo each day on weekends, compared to 73,000 on weekdays. Those numbers are up about four per cent since tolls went on the Port Mann Bridge and the Pattullo became the nearest free crossing of the Fraser River.
The current work does not include a planned $150-million seismic upgrade for the Pattullo that TransLink intends to carry out regardless of what option is chosen to eventually replace the bridge.
During the planned closures, the City of New Westminster will conduct a structural inspection of the Royal Avenue Overpass at McBride Boulevard as well as patching some pavement in the area.
Pattullo to close three weekends
Each year the Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar New Westminster organizes a parade commemorating their fifth spiritual master Guru Arjan Dev Ji. This year the parade, also known as a Nagar Kirtan, took place Sunday, June 30 in Queensborough. The event was hosted by the Khalsa Diwan Society New Westminster, and started at the Gurdwara and paraded through the neighbourhood to Ryall Park, behind Queensborough Community Centre. The main stage featured religious hymn groups from around the world, and local children performing Gurbani Kirtan (Sikh religious hymn singing). There were traditional Sikh martial arts demonstrations and many activities for the entire family.

A Douglas College program that works with Zambian non-profit organizations was a co-winner of a provincial award recently.
The Zambia Global Leadership Program received the outstanding program in international education award from the B.C. Council for International Education. Douglas College shared the award with a Capilano University program.
“This is a huge honour for the Zambia team,” said Kyle Baillie, the college’s director of the Centre for Campus Life and Athletics. “It verifies what we’ve been saying about this program all along: it is innovative, student-focused and an engagement experience paralleled by few others in British Columbia.”
The program sends Douglas students to Zambia on three-month volunteer work
placements with non-profits in the fields of health, education, business, sport, youth leadership, government and other social services.
Coordinator Anaa Schachner said the work helps students become global citizens. “They become more involved in both local and international issues. Some of them have even been offered full-time jobs back in Africa.”[email protected]

City to work with Metro Van to avoid expensive repairsGrant [email protected]
Restaurant grease is not only clogging consumers’ arteries, it’s clogging up the city’s sewer system.
It’s already caused a couple of costly repairs to fix blockages in New Westminster, so the city plans to work with Metro Vancouver to effectively control the grease going into the sewer system.
A report to city council pointed out grease flowing into city sewer pipes hardens and congeals as it cools, causing a cardiac arrest of sorts, especially in older clay pipes with multiple joints.
“The discharge of grease-laden sewage from food sector establishments causes sewer
blockages and if unchecked, results in sewer pipe failures,” said the report written by Catalin Dobrescu of the city’s engineering department.
“This results in costly repairs or replacements and interrupts sewer service to residents and businesses.”
Two years ago, there was a big blockage in the 400-block of Sixth Street.
A video camera inserted into the line revealed a number of restaurant pipes had heavy grease accumulations, said the report, eventually plugging the combined sewer and causing irreparable damage.
It ended up costing more than $130,000 to replace the sewer line in the block.
Similar accumulations were found later in the 700-block of Sixth Street and more recently in the 300-block of 12th Street.
When blockages happen,
calling out staff can be costly, noted the report.
It also pointed out food sector establishments are required to manage their grease, generally with a trap that prevents it from being pumped into the sewer system.
While the city can enforce violations it doesn’t have the authority to make restaurants retroactively install grease traps or enforce ongoing maintenance.
Last year, Metro Vancouver, which has the authority and staffing to regulate the problem, began an education program to encourage restaurants to comply, said the report.
Council agreed to the report’s recommendation to have city staff continue to work with the regional district to bring about compliance.

Have you noticed how a defiant child apologizes?
Watch. Listen. It can be almost amusing, as the reluctant offender twists body language and words when prodded to say ‘I’m sorry.’
Adults, with years of experience, are more skilled at contrition; the physical and verbal reaches undetectable, the offended party placated.
That is why it can be so compelling when an apology goes south.
Last week, foodies and fans watched as one of their own, Paula Deen, defended herself against accusations of allowing shockingly unsavoury conditions for employees at her family’s restaurant in Savannah, Ga.
Testifying in court, the TV chef was asked if she’d ever used a particular racial epithet – a heinous word once widespread well beyond her neck of the woods, but viewed today as inexcusable for all but hipster filmmakers and hip-hoppers who’ve misguidedly reclaimed it as their own.
Deen, 66, testified she had indeed used the racist word,
citing a specific example 30 years ago when she was robbed at gunpoint by a black man.
It’s likely she assumed this would gain sympathy as a crime victim. For many, it was viewed as selective memory, cited to avoid perjuring herself.
Her tearful explanations since have added division to an already-segregated country, with retailers dropping the Deen name, her online sales skyrocketing, and detractors and defenders – both – using colourful language of their own.
Other apologies closer to home in recent weeks might not have been as ridiculously insensitive, but they’ve been no less galling.
In a debate prior to B.C.’s May 14 election, the NDP’s man-who-woulda-coulda-been-premier reemphasized he embraced ownership of a past shame, in which he, as a previous premier’s
chief of staff, inexcusably back-dated a memo to protect his then-leader from conflict-of-interest charges.
If only Adrian Dix’s regret stopped there. Instead, he noted, he was a mere 35 at the time.
Thirty-five? Are 35-year-olds underdeveloped, or just untrustworthy? And does this mean we can take Dix at his word now, at the tender age of 49?
Not to be outdone, Premier Christy Clark stopped lampooning Dix’s age-inappropriate explanation just long enough to defend her own chief of staff, who took the fall over a leaked BC Liberal plan to spend our money to woo the ethnic vote.
Kim Haakstad was “about 35” when she erred, explained away our premier.
Again with that number. Is 35 the new 14?
Surely 35 isn’t too young to take on some responsibility. Napoleon was proclaimed emperor at that age.
The Queen had reigned 10 years; the Dalai Lama, 20. Should North Korea’s Kim Jong Un be granted wriggle room, as
he’s a still-formative 29½?Of course, this wasn’t the
premier’s only apology. In the days since Clark won the Legislature but lost her seat – before her MLAs were even sworn in – she quietly gave raises to political staff. Then recanted… a bit… after this was made public.
“Although the original change would have meant we were underspending the budget by $100,000, I’ve heard loud and clear that people didn’t like it,” the premier tutted.
Yes. Because coming in under budget is the goal – not spending wisely.
Considering all these youthful indiscretions, obstinate justifications and regretful pleas for clemency that you and I have had to endure from public figures in recent times – from sorrowful politicians, to desperate CEOs, to devil-made-me-do-it evangelists – perhaps we can be forgiven for thumbing our noses.
Or would that be childish?

When saying sorry goes south
News of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic B.C. Legislature draw tourists year round. A Canada Day event there on Monday (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns.
B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does. People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident this year, which apparently inspired the B.C. couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot.
Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America. Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried out. Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston.
This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million.
Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds.
Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events. But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near an event, or drunken partiers are barred from the grounds.
We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe.

Re: Still no snacks at Pier Park (NewsLeader, July 3)
Why can’t the city allow food trucks on the weekends?
No extra costs or set up.Friday nights at the pier in

Let’s Look at aLL the optionsRe: Two options for ‘boro bridge (NewsLeader, June 19)
A water taxi would be better for the following reasons:
It provides quicker and more direct connectivity to Port Royal residents to the business/transportation and civic amenities the city is trying to support and promote.
With the exception of an appropriate wharf landing near the Fraser River Discovery Centre/River Market area, existing infrastructure is in place.
One can easily see that businesses like the River Market, Inn at the Quay, restaurants and other businesses at the Quayside landing area and Downtown would
likely also prefer this shorter, less costly and more direct connection.
A water taxi option, so enthusiastically embraced by tourists at Granville Island, would also be an attraction here in New Westminster, allowing a greater draw to the area and its other amenities such as the Anvil Centre, Landmark Cinemas and the Discovery Centre.
The water taxi option is also a far better all-weather transportation connection to SkyTrain being shorter, more direct and sheltered.
For all of the above reasons it is clear that, during the public consultation process, this exciting option should be included, evaluated and tested in a collaboration process with all parties at the table.
Let’s all work together, with a robust set of options, so taxpayers have input to maximize their legacy dollar impact.

exception, onLy for those who ruLe
It’s welcome news that Premier Christy Clark has rescinded the large pay increases for political staff appointed by
individual cabinet ministers.It’s a smart move considering
the public outrage it generated and the likelihood of it carrying over into the Westside-Kelowna by-election.
Unfortunately, Clark is exempting one of her own staff members from the salary reversal. She intends to pay her former assistant campaign director, Michele Cadario, a whopping $175,000 as deputy chief of staff. The justification offered is that Cadario will be doing two jobs instead of just one. It’s not very believable.
The fact of the matter is the controversial attempt to reward ministerial aides for political (as opposed to public) service has its origins in a firmly entrenched culture of entitlement within the Liberal government.
Moreover, Clark’s decision with respect to her personal political appointee suggests she believes some have a greater entitlement than others.
CONTribuTEd phOTOIn the City of North Vancouver, the Shipyards Night Market on Friday nights in summer is a popular attraction.

Monday may have been Canada Day but Tuesday was banner day in Downtown New Westminster.
That’s when city crews began installing new banners with an old theme on Columbia Street lampposts.
They feature part of a photo of Columbia Street taken from Begbie Street in 1918 during peace celebrations for the end
of the First World War. Inserted into the
photo is a large yellow dot that reads “The Original Downtown.”
“We like them,” said Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area executive director Kendra Johnston. “One of our committees designed them. We just wanted a pop of colour on the street. We sort of wanted to blend new and old, and we didn’t want [the banners] to
be too busy.”Johnston said the
organization wanted to get rid of the previous banners that used stock photos.
“It’s about beautification for us. We wanted to get rid of those yucky banners, and wanted to make sure they were up for our Royal City
Show ‘n’ Shine (July 14).”
Johnston said the Downtown BIA is also working with the city to help spruce up the area on some other initiatives, including improved lighting which will be discussed at neighbourhood meetings in the fall. The city has proposed
installing new lighting with a historic touch on Columbia including swag lights that would stretch across the roadway from sidewalk to sidewalk similar to ones on the street during its Golden Mile era of the 1950s and ’60s.

Two Surrey residents accused of planting pressure cooker bombs outside the B.C. legislature on Canada Day are described by police as “Al-Qaeda-inspired” but “self-radicalized.”
B.C. RCMP arrested John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody in Abbotsford at 2 p.m. Monday afternoon after a five-month investigation that began in February.
The alleged homegrown terror plot is similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombers, who used pressure cooker bombs to send shrapnel through the crowd near the race’s finish line on April 15.
RCMP seized three explosive devices made from pressure cookers that contained nails, bolts, nuts and washers that were placed on the legislative assembly grounds.
Nuttall, 38 and Korody, 29, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity.
“These individuals were inspired by Al-Qaeda ideology,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said. “Our investigation has determined this was a domestic threat without international linkages.”
The alleged motive of the two accused is not clear but there is no indication of any connection to Islamic beliefs or religion.
The RCMP says the pair “took steps to build explosive devices and place them at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria where crowds were expected to gather on Canada Day.”
The legislative lawn and inner harbour were crowded with an estimated 40,000 revelers for Monday’s Canada Day concert and fireworks. Police aren’t saying if undercover officers were working with the duo but Malizia said they were being closely monitored and police ensured the bombs were inert and could not detonate.
“While the RCMP believed this threat was real, at no time was the security of the public at risk,”
Malizia said. “We detected the threat early and disrupted it.”
The arrests were made after a joint investigation of the RCMP E Division, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, dubbed Project Souvenir.
“I want to reassure our citizens that at all times during the investigation, our primary focus was the safety and protection of the public,” Malizia said.
Nor was the Canada Day crowd in Victoria the only potential target that may have been contemplated.
“The suspects were committed to acts of violence and discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques,” said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout, adding they were “self-radicalized” and aimed to cause “maximum impact to Canadian citizens at the B.C. Legislature on a national holiday.”
A variety of covert investigation methods were used to control any method the suspects had to commit harm, he added.
Rideout said the bombs are believed to have been made in Surrey and at other locations in B.C.
“As these devices were constructed we were in very tight control,” he said. “We were confident that public risk was absolutely minimized.”
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the two alleged terrorists have lived in Surrey for about 18 months and had a transient lifestyle.
Korody has no prior criminal charges, but Nuttall was convicted of robbery in 2003 in Victoria and received an 18-month conditional sentence. An addicted drug user at the time, Nuttall had hit a businessman on the head with a rock and stole his briefcase.
In March 2010, he was convicted of assault, mischief and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose – also in Victoria – and received a 60-day conditional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation.
Nuttall and Korody appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday and make their next appearance July 9.

He said from his front porch looking through the station’s grate fence, it did not appear there was anyone there to take care of the situation.
“Why am I reporting it? The screams could be heard for blocks. The operator at dispatch could hear the screaming over the roar of the buses,” said Taylor, who has been calling for TransLink to have eyes on the station during SkyTrain operating hours since 2011.
However, according to Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan the child had stepped out of a SkyTrain car onto the platform just before the doors closed and the train whisked her mother away.
Drennan said a station attendant and a transit security employee stayed with the terrified child until the mother had an opportunity to get off at the next stop and return from the other direction.
“There was no domestic situation. She was very frightened and began screaming,” said Drennan.
“By the time New Westminster Police arrived, it had already been resolved.”
When told of Drennan’s comments, Taylor said he was surprised to hear there was an attendant at the scene.
But that doesn’t change his belief TransLink should be doing more to make the station safe.
“My core point is there should be
somebody there all the time,” said Taylor, a frequent user of the transit system. “I’m not expecting a police officer at every station, but an attendant or a security guard, or something. That’s been the root of my complaints ever since I kicked up a fuss about this … Edmonds [Station] has a remarkable presence, there’s almost always a transit security car
there, and quite often there’s a transit police car.”
When he notified the NewsLeader of Saturday’s incident, Taylor said transit authorities should have been able to tell there was a problem because there are so many cameras at the site. But the cameras, he noted, create a false illusion somebody is watching.
“It’s obvious they’re not watching the [monitors]. People assume they’re watching and they don’t pick up the phone,” said Taylor.
Drennan said
TransLink has more than 1,000 cameras in the system and does not have the resources to monitor them at all times. She noted they’re more typically used for assessing crowd control needs and risks.
Taylor admitted in the past two years, many of the issues he raised have dissipated, although they haven’t disappeared entirely. For instance, he would have liked TransLink to take the City of New Westminster up on its offer to provide portable toilets so people won’t urinate near the station.
Drennan said while much of the drug issues related to the station have been reduced they haven’t been eliminated. “Those have been addressed in large part by New Westminster police and transit police working together.”

One infected patient here exposed shoppers in BellinghamJeff NagelBlack Press
Three Metro Vancouver residents have contracted measles and health officials are urging the public to ensure their immunizations are up to date to help prevent
further spread of the virus.
The three cases to date are all on the North Shore or Bowen Island, but one of those patients went cross-border shopping in Bellingham last Saturday, potentially exposing people there to infection.
Vancouver Coastal Health officials are also tracing the three patients’ contacts on
this side of the border to alert others who are at risk, but haven’t identified specific places in the Lower Mainland where the public was exposed.
“We’re not worried yet about a general community-level transmission,” said medical health officer Dr. Réka Gustasfon.
She called the cases unusual in that they’re the first locally
acquired measles cases here since a 2010 outbreak.
Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, but Gustafson said anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the vaccine for free from doctors and clinics.
Whatcom County’s Health Department issued its own alert Thursday, warning that someone ill with measles could have transmitted the virus to other shoppers on June 22 at the Bellingham Costco between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and also at Bellis Fair Mall between noon and 4 p.m.
Gustafson confirmed that exposure came from one of the Metro patients who visited Bellingham.
“We informed individuals rather than the general public,” she said of exposures in B.C. “We feel we’ve been able to identify the highest risk contacts.”
Metro Vancouver rarely sees more than a single case of measles at a time, Gustafson
said, because of the relatively high population immunity here. But she noted there are neighbourhoods across the region where vaccination levels are lower and there’s a much higher risk of broader transmission within those pockets.
Measles are highly contagious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins.
“This means that patrons of Costco or Bellis Fair Mall could start to have symptoms between June 29 and July 13,” said the Whatcom alert.
Two doses of vaccine are required for lifelong measles immunity, and Gustafson said many people, particularly those 43 or younger, have had only one dose.
Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others.

Ray Bonneville has been nominated for a Juno Award three times, in 2000 winning in the category of Best Blues Album.

Hard-driving blues manIt’s perhaps fitting the
Concerts in the Quay headliner on Saturday, July 13—the night before the Royal City Show and Shine—has the name of a classic Pontiac, which also happens to be the name for the Utah salt flats where cars have tested their speeds for decades.
Certainly, one thing Ray Bonneville is known for is hard-driving blues.
The New Orleans-based musician is known for his economical guitar licks, horn-
like harmonica phrasing and smoky vocal style. He performs more than 150 shows per year across the U.S., Canada and Europe.
His song about the resilience of New Orleans, “I am the Big Easy” won 2009 Song of the Year at Folk Alliance in Memphis, the same city where he took first place in the International Blues Challenge in 2012.
Concerts on the Quay are presented by River Market,
and takes place on the Quay boardwalk.
The July 13 instalment runs from 5–9 p.m. In addition to Bonneville, the show will feature Shane Philip and David Sinclair backed up by Keith Bennett. In addition, New West comedians Linda Cullen and Bob Robertson will be the emcees for the free event. For more information visit www.facebook.com/ConcertsOnTheQuay/events.

Morningstar Homes is once again at the top of their game with their latest project, Partington on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain.
“It’s really special up here,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “The views are pretty spectacular. It’s like being on top of the
world.”Partington is a collection of 45 single-
family homes with spacious floorplans and luxurious finishings, including a truly massive kitchen with a granite island and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring is included throughout the living areas, offset by the 19-foot vaulted ceiling, gorgeous floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace and huge windows making the most of the views.
“Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home,” says Calahan. “We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.”
The four-bedroom homes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. Each comes with an unfinished basement and a large private yard with a patio or deck.
“We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan.
“We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.”
Partington is Morningstar’s eighth project on Burke Mountain, following the success of Kingston, Avondale, Somerton and many others.
“We were the first to pioneer a community on Burke Mountain,” Calahan says. “They really welcomed us with open arms, and it’s now a highly sought-after place to live.”
As the community grows, so does Morningstar’s reputation.
“The Morningstar promise is to make everything as seamless as possible,” Calahan says. “Buying a house is one of the biggest purchases of your life. We want to make it as stress-free as we can.”
She notes that they now get buyers pre-registering who have heard about the homes through word-of-mouth from family and friends and who now want to live in their own
Morningstar home.“They feel more comfortable knowing
that someone they know has had a good experience with us,” Calahan says.
Partington is perfectly located on Burke Mountain. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping and dining. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby.
Sales of Partington will open on July 6 at noon. Interested buyers are encouraged to preregister for more information at www.morningstarhomes.bc.ca. Calahan notes that she’ll send registrants a sneak peek before the start of sales.
The sales centre is located at 1508 Dayton Street in Coquitlam. For more information, visit the website or call 604-942-6370.
Submitted photosThe kitchens at Partington include tons of counter space and a large granite island, above. The oversize windows make the most of the spectacular views on Burke Mountain, below, while the floorplans are spacious and open, with plenty of room for family living or entertaining.

The baby boomers have long been the drivers of trends, and as they age they still make a difference. A new report from Colliers International, commissioned by HJ Properties, shows that many of that generation are considering their options regarding downsizing from their family homes.
“The research really surprised me,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “I thought there would be a mass exodus to Kelowna, but that’s not happening.”
Instead, people looking to downsize in the Fraser Valley are considering how to stay in their neighbourhood, have money for retirement and help their children, all in one package.
Projects such as HJ’s Waterstone in Langley are thus very appealing to downsizers, Brown says. With larger floorplans and plenty of amenities nearby, buyers of all ages are finding something to love about their new home.
“Logic starts to win over magic,” Brown says. “People emotionally want to stay in a single-family home, but as the
baby boomers get older, they have different considerations.”One of the largest considerations is security, both of their
property and themselves.“Having a neighbour looking out for you is important,” says
Brown. “In a multi-family project, you don’t have as many worries.”
The report showed that price was the biggest deciding factor for most baby boomers.
“You can buy a multi-family home for about $400,000,” Brown says. “That doesn’t get you much in a single-family home.”
Brown notes that he did see a difference in how buyers in the Fraser Valley were downsizing versus those in Vancouver itself, adding that Fraser Valley downsizers had retirement higher on their list of priorities.
Another big reason the baby boomer generation is buying smaller homes?
“I’ve been told that many people are moving into a multi-family home as a defence against their kids moving back in with them,” laughs Brown.
