Judy Darcy had a big grin as she circled the Heritage Grill hugging her New Democratic Party supporters Tuesday night.
But those who didn’t have their arms around her were stunned as they watched the provincial election results roll in on the restaurant’s one tiny television.
Darcy cruised to victory in a six-way race to replace retiring Dawn Black as MLA for New Westminster.
It was a win for the former union leader that most expected. What wasn’t expected was the NDP not forming the government despite polls saying the party held a substantial lead over the BC Liberals.
“It’s kind of like going to a birthday party and not knowing whose birthday it is,” said one New West city councillor at Darcy’s victory party.
Darcy almost got as many votes as the other five candidates combined. The former head of the Canadian Union of Public Employees garnered 11,464 votes, which was 48.39 per cent of the ballots cast.
Dorothy Beach can see Queensborough from the River Drive home where she was born on May 16, 1913.
The long-time environmental activist recalls a European immigrant couple moving to Queensborough and tending to a small vegetable garden carved out of their backyard. It was green enough, says Beach, for the couple to raise three big, healthy sons, and they’re still growing food there. So seeing the soil on the other side of
the river paved over for industry and residential complexes bothers Beach.
It bothers her a lot.“That’s the best soil there is and
they’ve covered it almost completely in houses,” says Beach. “They could feed everybody (in the Lower Mainland) off that if they just grew food, and that’s just unconscionable ... It’s breaking my heart.”
Beach’s days on the planet may be numbered—although that is up for debate given her spunky attitude. But that doesn’t stop her from caring about the planet.
At her 100th birthday party held at Dunwood Place seniors complex Thursday she added a lifetime achievement award for her work with the Fraser River Coalition to a long list of accolades she’s already received.
Life growing up alongside the river was almost bucolic. Her father had a boat moored on the river. “I remember walking across a vast expanse of sand at that time [to get to the boat].”
Her parents owned five lots around the home so their property was a frequent gathering place for
kids looking to play.“There was always a ball game
going on. As long as they batted away from the windows they didn’t mind,” says Beach. “They wiped it all out for the highway (Stewardson Way).”
Bread, ice and other goods were delivered to their door, often by horse and carriage. Going to Columbia Street was a big deal.

ART IN THE LIBRARYDiversity is the word to describe the talented artists whose work is on display in the New Westminster Public Library until the end of May.
In the Second Floor Gallery, the outdoors is the inspiration for the Plein Air Painters. Christine Moore, Joann Heringer, Dale Costanzo, Gillian Wright, and Sim Lee belong to this group of artists who get together regularly to explore the colour and textures of the outdoors in their painting. Following in the tradition of the ‘Impressions’, their sketches and quick paintings form the basis for their creative fi nished pieces.
On the Ramp Gallery, the Diaconu family presents “Expressive Quartet”. The four members of the family, Gabriela, Dan, George and Adina, have always been artistically inclined. They work in all media, although each has a tendency to drift towards a specifi c chosen area, bringing their own personality and creativity to their art. The current show includes acrylic on canvas, photography, mixed media and digital painting.
The art can be viewed at any time during library open hours at 716 6th Avenue in New Westminster.

It was well ahead of second-place Hector Bremner of the BC Liberals who received 8,030 (33.79 per cent) votes.
“I’m very excited about it,” said Darcy of gaining political office for the first time at the age of 63. “I’m really proud that the people of New Westminster have given me the great, great honour of being their MLA.”
Darcy praised the work of her volunteers in getting out the vote for her in a riding the NDP has dominated since the 1950s. In her speech to her supporters Tuesday, she vowed to fight as an opposition member for seniors services, and improved health care and education for New Westminster residents.
Bremner, 32, was a newcomer to the New Westminster political scene who faced an uphill battle against the city’s New Democrat juggernaut.
“I’m feeling pretty good. We had a great effort. We felt like we put forth a campaign that
anybody could be part of. We gave people a choice in New Westminster,” said Bremner as his supporters gathered at the Waffle House to watch the results roll in. “We lost by 5,000 votes last time, so we’ve gained substantial ground. Nobody expected us to win … [But] no longer is it just a coronation or a passing of the baton taking place in New Westminster. That matters more than anything.”
Bremner said the Liberals’ overall victory means Royal Columbian Hospital will get the redevelopment the provincial government has committed to.
He also said it proves the polls have been getting it wrong for a long time provincially, federally and even in the United States. “Now they’re going to have to look deeper into the numbers.”
The marketing consultant said he has no idea what might lie ahead for him politically, and hasn’t even considered if he’d run in the 2014 municipal election.
Third place went to Terry
Teather of the Green Party with 1,920 votes (8.19 per cent).
“I was quite pleased with it. Being a first-time candidate I was new to it and I was pleased with the number of votes that I got. The Green profile is out there,” said Teather. “I’m thrilled with
that. You have to be realistic … I had no dreams that it was going to be a runaway victory.”
Teather, an educator with the Surrey school district, added he would stay involved with the party and keep the door open for another run at political office.
Former MP Paul Forseth of the BC Conservatives finished fourth. He had 1,138 votes (4.85 per cent) at last count.
Although independent James Crosty had a high profile in the city it didn’t translate at the ballot box. The former mayoral candidate finished fifth (928, 3.96 per cent), beating out only Lewis Dahlby (167, 0.71) of the BC Libertarian Party, a Port Coquitlam resident.
“We ran a good campaign, I’m not disappointed at all … I thought I’d do a little bit better than that, but you’re up against candidates with the party machines behind them,” said Crosty. “I made these guys talk. You know from a perspective from what I brought to the all-candidates meetings, they had to talk about the issues that affected New West. I’m not going anywhere, I love this city.”
Crosty said it’s too soon to tell if he will seek civic office again when the next municipal elections roll around in November 2014.

Green candidate ‘thrilled’ with his result
Wright reveals new anchor tenant for Royal City CentreGrant [email protected]
Walmart will be the new anchor tenant at the Royal City Centre according to New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.
The mayor dropped the tidbit during a state-of-the-city address to a chamber of commerce luncheon at the Columbia Theatre on Wednesday.
Wright said it would be one of
the chain’s smaller outlets. Earlier this year, the Royal
City Centre applied for a development permit to build an atrium-style entrance off Sixth Avenue to service a new anchor tenant in the space vacated by Zeller’s in 2006.
Wright also revealed he is in discussions with an Indy-style kart racing circuit to run an electric kart race through Downtown New Westminster.
The karts, he said, would race up Columbia onto Sixth Street, down Clarkson Street and circle
back to Columbia via Begbie Street.
“They would be electric and quiet as can be,” said Wright, who sheepishly admitted he hadn’t even told new city administrator Lisa Spitale about the plans.
The mayor said New Westminster would be the first in the Lower Mainland to have the race which would help give publicity to the city.
Wright said the city wanted to attract a Red Bull Air Race, in which crop-dusting style planes navigate an obstacle course
along water, but with so many bridges along the river that wasn’t practical.
When asked about the possibility of New Westminster attracting a hotel, Wright deferred to Spitale who said three possible sites have been identified in which the city would like to work with a developer.
She said two of the sites have been tried but haven’t worked out.
“It is one of our higher priorities,” said Spitale.Mayor Wayne Wright gave his state-of-

Beach’s father ran a dry goods store on Columbia, T.H. Smith, but being from rural Ontario he wanted to farm. So the family moved to a 20-acre property on the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford where the government had drained a lake to make farmland. But the property flooded and he had to abandon his dream.
In 1938, Beach married her husband Russell, whose family was in the lumber business in New Westminster.
They needed a place to live so they moved into the old River Drive home.
She’s still there.“We thought we’d
rent from my parents for a while, but actually it turned out to be a good place to bring our own family up,” said Beach, who raised four daughters and a son there with her husband, and proudly points out she sleeps in the same room she was born in.
“We looked for another place, [but] we thought we had it all here. We thought it was great for the kids.”
Beach also took it upon herself to be informed and involved, chairing the National Council of Women at the 1976 United Nations Habitat Conference in Vancouver.
“My biggest disappointment
was the conference. They held another 33 years later and how are we doing?” says Beach.
“They could still do a lot.”Her son David was poisoned
by experimental pesticides and so she became an expert on pesticides.
“You have to be concerned about what you eat, but make sure that it’s not been contaminated by sprays. Make sure that what you eat is as pure as you can make it be,” she advises.
Beach took on the federal government over spraying to kill off a specific insect in Sapperton in the 1990s and managed to force them to
back off. She did it to
support a family that would have lost two beehives if the spraying had been carried out.
“The beehives would have been exposed for an insect never heard from again. You can’t do that,” she says.
Every time there was an environmental issue affecting New West, Beach was before council to talk about it.
Beach keeps up to date on issues such as oil tankers in West Coast waters and the coal transfer facility proposed for just across the river in Surrey which has raised concerns from
New Westminster residents and council.
“It doesn’t make sense, does it?” says Beach.
“I’m interested. I’m not out of it until I’m out of it. I care about what’s going on. It’s a beautiful world and it gets messed up in lots of places.”
That’s why Beach believes city council has a duty to retain and protect the precious Queensborough agricultural land that she says could feed a city.
“For God’s sake, take care of it.”

‘For God’s sake, take care of it’
In August 2010, at age 97, Beach spoke to the Agricultural Land Commission’s public hearing in Langley and appealed to commissioners to save Langley’s historic Hudson’s Bay Farm from becoming a casualty of the Gateway Project.

Teachers boss, DPAC chair have concerns about cutsGrant [email protected]
If New Westminster board of education chair Michael Ewen harboured any hopes a NDP victory in Tuesday’s provincial election would have relieved some of the district’s deficit pressure he wasn’t talking about them Wednesday.
The board is currently struggling to deal with past, present and future accumulated deficits.
With the BC Liberals prevailing once again, it’s likely there will be little difference in the district’s relationship with the Ministry of Education, he said.
“I don’t see any significant change. The ministry has been very helpful and supportive and I certainly hope that will continue,” said Ewen.
“We can work with anybody. What I hoped for, what I aimed for, is irrelevant. We need to
work with the government at hand. We’ve worked with them for 12 years and we can work with them for the next four.
“The NDP had made certain commitments, but the proof is in the pudding. Commitments are great, but moving forward we’re dealing with the people who are there.”
District parent advisory council president Wendy Harris said Ewen told a DPAC meeting Monday that any deficit discussion might be moot after the election because the financial situation could change if the NDP formed the government.
“If that was the card in their back pocket, or the saving grace of the winning ticket that they win the lottery to retain staff then I don’t know what’s going to happen now,” said Harris.
Grant Osborne, president of the New Westminster Teachers
Union, said he was as shocked as anybody at Tuesday’s result.
“I can’t believe it’s good news (for New Westminster), because this is the same government that has
caused chronic underfunding for the last decade. I would like to think this would be a change for the better, but unfortunately history’s not on our side,” said Osborne.
“They’ve made it clear the deficit doesn’t have to be paid back [right away], that it can be paid back over a number of years. But the problem is paying that deficit back means they’re going to have to go into deeper cuts.”
Victoria has approved a plan for New Westminster to pay back a $2.8 million deficit for 2011-12 over three years. The board is also finding ways to avoid another $2.1 million deficit for 2012-13 and similar projected deficits for 2013-14 and years beyond that.
‘No significant change’ from election for SD40
Grant Osborne, NW Teachers Union They’ve made it clear the deficit doesn’t have to be paid back right away.

What the hell happened? That’s been the question
that’s been wagging jaws since the moment it was clear the BC Liberals had won the election Tuesday night.
Defying polls and pundits, the big question was how could all the predictions have been so wrong.
Some say Christy Clark successfully became the first female to be elected premier in B.C. because she had a simple message and repeatedly hammered it on every tour stop she made in the province: Strong economy, secure tomorrow.
Dix’s message was more nuanced: Change for the better, one practical step at a time.
It left room for people to ask, change to what?
Perhaps the economy—and the looming fear that the horrible fiscal mess afflicting other countries could soon land here—is what drove many folks to plug their noses and vote for the devil they know.
Lord knows the BC Liberals and Christy Clark’s leadership
left much to be desired.In press releases, the BC
Liberal media machine kept a running tally of what they said Dix’s promises would cost. The message was clear, taking a page from the Social Credit W.A.C. Bennett days in B.C.: Beware the red under the bed.
Some say this election proved positive campaigning doesn’t work. That Dix should have worked harder to point out the failings of the BC Liberal government, kept things like BC Rail, and cost overruns for BC Place and the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre fresh in people’s minds.
If there was an absence of dirt shoveled by the NDP campaign, there was also an absence of gold voters could hold onto.
Skills training? A healthy, diversified economy?
If Christy Clark’s populist style and megawatt smile evoked memories of Bill Vander Zalm and inspired the wariness reserved for door-to-door salesmen, Adrian Dix’s deadpan delivery left many cold.
Dix’s decision, mid-campaign, to state clear opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion plan may be seen as a pivotal blunder. The Liberals seized on this as a sign the NDP would stifle industry (read: jobs and revenues) in B.C.
It may be untrue, but as every political dog knows, messages like that stick to your fur.
But that’s not to say there weren’t some big missteps by the BC Liberals.
The return of Brian Bonney and Kim Haakstad, two staffers cast aside after the Liberals’ ethnic outreach scandal came to light, was surprising.
Bonney volunteered this month with the Burnaby-Lougheed campaign, and Haakstad was uncovered in the office of Christy
Clark herself.Here in New West, the success
of Judy Darcy of the NDP in securing the job didn’t come as a surprise. She’s got big shoes to fill, taking over for Dawn Black, who was a strong advocate for our city. But Darcy’s history in union leadership suggests she’s got the chops.
And what of the other parties?Much has been said about
the flame-out of the BC Conservatives. If they hadn’t crashed and burned on the shores of internal acrimony in the recent year, the logic goes, the vote split would have carried the NDP on a wave of victory.
Or if the BC Greens hadn’t run such an effective campaign, ostensibly sucking away left-leaning votes...
If only…Regardless of who you were
cheering for, Tuesday night was a hell of an exciting time to watch politics in B.C.
Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader.
The fall and rise of the BC Liberals
Imagine a childhood without Tony the Tiger or Toucan Sam, no Ronald MacDonald, or Hamburglar, or Mayor McCheese.
According to a medical coalition, Canadian children 13 and younger shouldn’t be exposed to marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages.
Its aim is to reduce the increasing number of overweight children.
The Canadian Medical Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Hypertension Canada, College of Family Physicians of Canada and others are calling on food companies to immediately stop marketing foods high in fats, added sugars or sodium to children.
The groups say the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1989 that advertisers should not be able to capitalize upon children’s credulity and that advertising directed at young children is manipulative.
However, food companies in Canada, except in Quebec, are not required by law to restrict unhealthy food and beverage marketing to children. So they spend billions of dollars marketing to kids because they know it works. And 75 per cent of children today are overweight.
If a ban was enacted, restrictions would apply to TV, internet, radio, magazines, mobile phones, and video games, as well as product placement, cross-promotions, school or event sponsorships, and viral marketing.
The proposed advertising restriction includes characters or mascots promoting sugary cereals.
You could require more warning labels, or add a tax on such products, too, but doing the latter hasn’t stopped people from smoking or drinking.
In the end, parents have to stop buying their kids so much junk food, turn off the TV, take away the iPads, and make them go outside.

COMMENT“We’ve got trouble, right here
in River City,” when city council representatives allowed the parade to pass them by without saying goodbye and thank you to their own native son, Ed Harrington, the “Music Man” of Royal City Musical Theatre.
A ripple of discernible disappointment swept through the crowd gathered at Massey Theatre on Saturday, May 11, when it dawned that not a single member of our city’s representative body was in attendance to pay tribute to a man who really knew how to build a community crescendo.
Massey Theatre was filled with luminous RCMT alumni who belted out all the top notes of Broadway’s best for the love of a man with a mighty heart and a talent for assembling disparately skilled people into a cohesive course of activity. They united in a single purpose—to make something beautiful in the Royal City. Thousands of Lower Mainland residents, as well as citizens from across B.C, Canada and the U.S., flooded RCMT with accolades annually. The Royal City became truly regal.
We are saddened at the loss of a man who not only “struck up the band,” but struck chords in us that we never felt before.
Sadder still, his hometown representatives missed the opportunity to send him off in theatrical style. All that he did, he did for love, love of the Royal City, the River City.
Thank you Ed. The music plays on and the love never leaves.

SeniorS’ comedy good clean fun
Keep an ear out for seniors’ comedy.
The truth is—they’re not all seniors. It may be a best-kept secret that you don’t have to be a century old to join Century House. A half-century will do. (One of the comics at Lafflines in a recent Sunday matinee was cheating; she was still only 49.)
Jan Bannister was the instructor for this series, the Century House Comedy Class (at what I like to call “Sensory House,” now that the youth share some programs). All
the comics were lively, but Jan was outstanding as a host and emcee for this gala event.
It must have been because we were such a nice (big) crowd that we were moved from the smaller room upstairs, down to the main floor of the sumptuous Columbia Theatre. We could have been more in number. I’m not sure folks got the memo that it was going to be family friendly.
Now there’s a break—clean comedy on a Sunday afternoon. These performers write their own material, memoir-like, so it’s original and as varied as their lives have been. With material for jokes ranging from Tillsonburg tobacco-farming through body functions to gay/senior dating, they will likely keep finding fun for sharing.
My tip to you (if you are 50-plus) is that Jan plans to repeat this course in the fall. You might want to reserve a spot. Almost everyone who took the class was brave enough to step up to the mic.
Clean afternoon comedy—what could be better?

Chamber member Bill Lewis called on the city to reclaim the land between Westminster Pier Park and the Fraser River Discovery Centre to complete the park. The property is owned by Larco Developments, which gained a rezoning several years ago.
Wright said originally the plans called for nine high rises, but then it was scaled down to four or five. He said the city is in discussions with Larco about the property.
“We’re talking about that, but not in public,”
he said.He also said the
city has a “wonderful opportunity” with the land at the northwest corner of Braid and Brunette being developed by Bentall Kennedy.
“It’s one of the biggest pieces of Lower Mainland land for building a multi-use development opportunity as we have done with Plaza 88 Downtown,” said Wright.
It will be an attractive site because it is close to SkyTrain, a train station and a bus depot, he said. Wright estimated the
development would be in the $500-million range.
He pointed out the city has done $1.5 billion worth of development since
2008, and $225 million this year.
“That’s pretty good,” he said.
“We’re still moving forward and we still have more to do. These are the ones that are in place and there’s more coming.”
Wright said the Anvil Centre and new office complex currently being built Downtown will bring more business, people and residents to New West. Those people will be looking to
spend money while they’re there.
“We have to have the diversification. We have the best wedding shops, but we need more than that,” he said.
Although he’s received many calls of concern about the city installing large digital signs at entrances to the city, he said the police department has told him there have been no extra accidents from the signs, which are projected to bring in about $1 million in annual revenue to the city.
“That saves us a lot of tax money and helps us pay for projects that need to be done,” said Wright.
The money, he pointed out, would come in handy if the city were able to share costs with senior governments for a much-needed renovation or replacement of the Canada Games Pool.
City in discussions with Larco
The city has received an application to renovate a portion of Royal City Centre, to allow for a new entrance between Safeway and Dynamic Health and Fitness.

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?
“We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is finite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, popula-tion growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Fos-ter, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the expenses may not be apparent, there are significant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drink-ing water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”
She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replace-ments and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”
During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get
to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your every-day habits.
“We forget that we use the same treated drinking water to
wash our cars and water our lawns. We flush our toilets and away it goes with whatever we put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as water-ing our lawns less, using rain barrels, installing
water efficient fixtures or appli-ances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.”
For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiv-ing waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.
Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water
Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”
The five easy pledges can be taken online. People can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facil-ities in their area, or download fun and educational activities for children and families, at www.drinkingwaterweek.org.
Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?
Be Water Wise:□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day.
□ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home.
□ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can).
□ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity.
□ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%.

False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

“There’s no relief in sight. We’re looking at a loss of 20 full-time positions for this year. Unless there’s a surprise infusion of cash we’re looking at further deficits,” said Osborne.
He pointed out, in addition to teachers, about 20 special education assistants (SEA) and other clerical and custodial staff will be laid off.
“It’s a hard hit everywhere,”
said Osborne.Harris is particularly
concerned the loss of SEAs would mean the students would not be integrated into the classrooms for some subjects.
“Kids have to be supported,” said Harris, who has a special needs son attending New Westminster secondary.
“If we don’t have the money for that, what does that mean for him? He won’t have that opportunity to be in a regular
science class taking a regular class with an SEA.”
Although the political bosses haven’t changed, Ewen pointed out the two ministry employees in charge of New Westminster’s capital projects have retired and the district wants to be able to brief them on the most complex school capital project in the province as well as bring new New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy up to date.

Premier Christy Clark said she will wait until election results are finalized and she has met with her 50 MLAs before deciding where to seek a seat to replace the one she lost Tuesday.
NDP challenger David Eby defeated Clark by more than 700 votes in Vancouver-Point Grey, knocking on doors while Clark traveled the province on the leader’s tour.
At a news conference Wednesday, Clark shrugged off the loss, saying the seat was closely contested when Gordon
Campbell held it and also had little time to campaign there.
Asked repeatedly about polls that predicted her doom, Clark noted that she discussed that briefly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he called to congratulate her on winning the party’s fourth term. And she offered some advice on polling to reporters who gathered at the Vancouver cabinet offices.
“You guys get this stuff for free,” Clark said.
“You should take it for what
it’s worth.”Results don’t become official
until May 27, and there could still be changes in the current legislature: 50 B.C. Liberals, 33 NDP MLAs, B.C. Green Andrew Weaver and Delta South independent Vicki Huntington.
Clark said she regrets the loss of cabinet ministers Ida Chong and Margaret MacDiarmid, but she is pleased to have a balance of 25 returning MLAs and 25 newcomers in the B.C. Liberal caucus.
Clark in no rush to seek seat

A long list of departing MLAs – both Liberals and New Democrats – are now in line for lucrative pensions, whether they retired voluntarily or were defeated at the polls.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates the total payouts to MLAs who didn’t win or seek re-election could top $26 million. The government injects $4 for every dollar politicians contribute, and the resulting pensions are also inflation adjusted.
“The MLA pension payout ATM is spitting out cash at a rate taxpayers can only dream of,” CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “A dozen former MLAs will soon join the million-dollar pension club – while most of us are scraping together every nickel we can find for our own retirements.”
Departing NDP MLAs in the Lower Mainland and their estimated payouts to age 80 include: Surrey-Fleetwood NDP MLA Jagrup Brar ($555,000), Delta North NDP MLA Guy Gentner ($500,000), Coquitlam-Maillardville’s Diane Thorne ($461,000) and Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MLA Michael Sather ($490,000). Several others, including Port Moody-Coquitlam by-election winner Joe Trasolini, get nothing because they have less than the six years of service required to qualify.
Outgoing Liberal MLAs include: Gordon Campbell in Vancouver-Point Grey ($1.7 million), Colin Hansen in Vancouver-Quilchena ($1.54 million), Barry Penner in Chilliwack-Hope ($1.35 million), Kevin Falcon in Surrey-Cloverdale ($1.09 million), Randy Hawes in Abbotsford-Mission ($847,000), Harry Bloy
in Burnaby-Lougheed ($720,000), Chilliwack’s John Les ($835,000), Surrey-Tynehead’s Dave Hayer ($824,000) and Joan McIntyre in West Vancouver-Sea to Sky ($568,000).
Defeated Abbotsford independent John Van Dongen, who served for years as a B.C. Liberal, exits with a pension valued at $1.48 million. First-year payouts range from $30,000 to $98,000 in Campbell’s case.
Exiting MLAs also get up to 15 months of severance at the $101,859 MLA annual salary and includes a top-up if the politician takes a job at less than six figures. They’re also eligible for up to $9,000 in “training” funds.
Bateman noted the B.C. Liberals ran against “gold-plated” pensions in 1996 and then NDP premier Glen Clark brought in a fairer, dollar-for-dollar system.
But Liberals in 2007 brought back ultra-generous pensions and let MLAs buy back missing years of service.

Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through the Lower Mainland looks more likely with the B.C. Liberals staying in power than if the NDP had won Tuesday’s election.
NDP leader Adrian Dix had vowed to block a big increase in oil tanker exports from Metro Vancouver.
His reversal of a previous pledge to wait for a formal project application became a major campaign issue.
Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday she believed the TV debate was the turning point of the campaign for the Liberal rebound and the NDP’s Kinder Morgan position was a factor.
Clark said voters weren’t impressed by “the idea that you’re going to say ‘No’ to economic development before you even see it.”
She stressed the province will put any Kinder Morgan proposal to the same requirements as the planned Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, including world-leading safeguards against ocean and land spills as well as a substantial share of
benefits for B.C.’s risk.Another issue that awaits
Clark’s new government will be what to do with TransLink.
Metro Vancouver mayors have demanded a major reform of the transportation authority’s governance structure.
The NDP had promised to restore control to locally elected representatives, while the Liberals said on the campaign trail there was more right than wrong with TransLink’s current structure.
But the bigger issue for transit users is how billions of dollars will be raised to build major rapid transit extensions in Surrey and Vancouver.
Mayors have sought various new revenue tools for TransLink, from an annual vehicle levy to a small new regional sales tax.
Clark pledged during the campaign that any new tax or fee for TransLink would have to be approved by voters in a referendum in November of 2014, a promise that alarmed transit advocates.
Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, who had served as vice-chair of the TransLink mayors’ council, is the newly elected Liberal MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, the riding that a new
SkyTrain line could pass through on the way to Langley.
He said better transportation south of the Fraser will be a priority and the government will work to clarify its vision for TransLink. Fassbender also chided his nemesis on the mayors’ council – Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan – for fomenting opposition to the Liberals in civic circles.
“Derek Corrigan, on the mayors’ council for the last year, year and a half, said ‘the Liberals are toast, they’re done, it’s over. We’re going to have a new government.’ And we do have a new government,” Fassbender said, adding it’s time for all local leaders to now work together.
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and other regional leaders have said some form of road pricing or broad-based tolling would be the best way to refinance TransLink for the long term.
Clark, however, ruled out new tolls on existing bridges or roads during the campaign.
It remains unclear how her government will pay for major new bridge projects – such as the promised replacements of the Massey Tunnel and Pattullo Bridge – if not through more tolls.

Southeast Vancouver is welcoming summer with the weekly farm market at River District, ParkLane Homes’ waterfront community that covers 130 acres and includes homes, shops, green space, restaurants and community amenities.
The first market took place on May 4, and saw more than 500 people come out to wander the market and purchase some goodies.
“The incredible turnout is a testament to the diversity and quality of this year’s farm and artisan vendors,” says Yosh Kashara, General Manager of Sales and Marketing at ParkLane Homes. “We couldn’t be happier with the support
from the community.”Market visitor and local resident
Jonathan Murkin was excited to see the market open this year.
“We’ve been waiting for the market to open,” he says. “It’s a great addition to the neighbourhood.”
Among the items being sold at the market are fruits and vegetables, breads, flowers, skin care and jewellery.
The farm market will take place every Saturday between May 4 and October 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kerr Street Plaza.

Everyone has fond memories of their childhood summer vacations, spending time with family and friends and playing outside for hours. Now you can make more memories with Shorewood Cottages, just minutes from the Canada-U.S. border in Birch Bay.
“You get the best of both worlds,” says Chris Hughes, a local RE/MAX broker who grew up in West Vancouver, and a partner in Compass Point Project Marketing. “It’s relaxed and quiet when you get here, but you can be at the beach in two minutes.”
Shorewood is located on a sunny plateau with over eleven acres total and seven acres of private parkland and trails, so outdoor activity will be a large part of your life. There will also be picnic areas, a bocce ball court, a community herb garden, an ocean lookout with a fire pit (called Sunset Point) and a clubhouse with an outdoor pool and hot tub. The picturesque setting includes a stream behind many of the cottages and ocean views from the front of the property. Hughes notes that the property is very dog-friendly, for those who could never leave man’s (or woman’s) best friend behind.
The cottages themselves are homes
away from home, with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a cozy fireplace and hardwood flooring. Outside, you’ll find West Coast Craftsmen architecture and a private patio. There are a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from 1,082 to over 1,500 square feet.
The cottages “are high-end from a finishing perspective, but exceptional value,” Hughes says. “These are real residences you can stay in all year round.”
The location is the biggest draw for buyers. The famous C Shop, which sells candy, pizza, baked goods and other treats, is a minute away, along with miles of Birch Bay beachfront, restaurants and cafes, and plenty of outdoor activities. You’ll also find Birch Bay State Park and boat launch, water
slides, go-carts, mini-golf and several golf courses nearby.
“There are a ton of things to do,” Hughes says. “Most weekends you’ll find something going on.”
Among those things are arts and music festivals, fireworks,
the Birch Bay Marathon, parades, sandcastle contests, car shows and many other events. Plus crabbing, clamming and fishing are lots of fun for the family and great for dinner!
“We’re just 12 minutes from the border,” says Hughes. “You can come down with the family for the entire summer or just for the day.”
He also notes that if you’re not able to come down to the cottage yourself, you can rent it out to other families
looking for a beach getaway.The developers of the property
include two Canadian families, and most of the buyers so far are from the Lower Mainland.
“You can’t touch this price anywhere in the Lower Mainland,” Hughes says. “It’s much more affordable to buy in the U.S. Plus, there’s a minimal amount of legal fees (and) no property purchase tax.”
Cottages at Shorewood start in the low $200,000s. For more information, visit www.shorewoodcottages.com, email [email protected] or call 1-888-255-8121. The show cottages are open Wednesday through Sunday between noon and 4 p.m. or anytime by appointment.
Submitted photosThe cottages at Shorewood are built in a West Coast Craftsmen style, above, with plenty of natural light, cozy stone fireplaces, left, and a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans. The beach is just two minutes away, top, so outdoor activity will be an integral part of your life.
