NEWS BRIEFS MERCER TRACK REOPENS
SNAKE IN THE BUSH
LAND AND SEASCAPES
The province will spend $40,000 on a new bus bay on Howe Street at Highway 91 according to an announcement by the Ministry of Transportation. The bay will include a wheelchair landing pad and ramps and will be built by Oct. 31. It’s part of a $900,000 provincial project aimed at making public transportation across B.C. more accessible and reliable. The funding comes from the Provincial Transit Plan first announced in 2008.
The track at Mercer Stadium is open once again, though some work remains to be done, according to New Westminster’s department of parks and recreation. Repairs began in August 2010 and cost $2.085 million. Improvements also include new storage facilities. Weather delayed line painting, but the work has been “substantially completed,” thanks to sunnier days, according to parks and recreation director Dean Gibson.
A four-foot long non-venomous orange and yellow Corn snake was discovered in the bushes near the Arenex at Queen’s Park, according to New Westminster police, who were called in after a city parks worker made the discovery. The officers coaxed the snake into a plastic container and took it to the city’s animal control facility. Information about the snake can be passed on to the New Westminster Animal Control office: 604-519-2008.
The Van Dop gallery presents the Land and Seascapes exhibition starting Sept. 3. It will feature paintings of B.C. landscapes by local artists. Originally from the Netherlands, Pieter Molenaar paints dramatic skies above seas and landscapes. Maggie White’s west coast paintings focus on patterns, light changes and serendipity. Carole Arnston focuses on flowers but paints landscapes too. Information: 604-521-7887

NEW Q’BORO BUS BAY
Supporting the brotherhood By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER
K
eith Furlotte remembers where he was on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Everyone over the age of 14 does. The Burnaby fire operations captain was in charge of the command centre at Fire Hall No. 1 when he went to get some coffee. He noticed a group on the night shift watching television in the lounge, which he thought unusual for so early in the morning. He assumed they were watching a movie so he carried on to the coffee maker where the kitchen television was silently playing the same “movie.” As he went by the lounge again he noticed everybody’s eyes were glued to the TV. “What is this?” he asked. “You haven’t heard?” they replied and they told him the horrific details of what was happening in New York. “Everybody was stunned,” recalls Furlotte. “Nobody was talking. Usually everybody is talking at that time of morning.” They may have been stunned but firefighters across Burnaby and New Westminster decided to do all they could to help their Big Apple comrades. “Support for families has always been big in our brotherhood so that’s what we decided to do,” says Furlotte, is returning to New York for the 10th anniversary of 9-11 next month.
Other Burnaby and New Westminster firefighters and first responder personnel are already headed there to participate in the 2011 World Police and Fire Games (WPFG) prior to the anniversary.
Making the connection
Scary times Chris Bowcock also went there a decade ago, although at first his wife Dana balked at the idea. She had been stuck in Sacramento, Calif., with their nine-month-old daughter for days when the planes hit the twin towers of the World Trade Centre. “She didn’t want me to go because it was a scary time for her, especially with her being in the States,” says Bowcock. “In California everything was shut down. She was scared.” However, as other firefighters left for New York, Bowcock says Dana thought it would be good for him to go. When they arrived, most of the firefighters wanted to be involved in a hands-on way. “We’re much happier when we’re contributing to the work. It’s hard for us to sit on the sidelines,” he says. But the New York firefighters preferred to be the ones cleaning up The Pile, which was their name for Ground Zero, a moniker created by the media. “They said, no, they’ll dig their own members out,” recalls Furlotte. What the New Yorkers needed most was for their out-of-town brethren to

attend the numerous funerals and services that were occurring daily. Normally when one of their own dies, firefighters turn out en masse to support the families, but that wasn’t possible in such catastrophic circumstances. They were more than willing to do the duty even though every ceremony was emotional, even gut-wrenching, says Bowcock. “It’s always hard to see little kids whose dads are gone.” They would salute the families as they went by, but Furlotte remembers one funeral where there was a backlog of traffic and the family was stuck right in front of them. That created an awkward stretch with the firefighters frozen in salute. Finally Furlotte broke ranks and walked up to one young
man and asked him if he was related. “He was my brother.” Furlotte choked up with the emotion welling inside before responding, “Well, he’s my brother, too,” he said, barely getting out the words without shedding any tears. “It was overwhelming for us,” says Furlotte, speaking 10 years later.
Visiting The Pile Just as overwhelming was their visit to The Pile. While there, Furlotte recalls talking to a NYFD battalion chief who pointed to a nearby building that had been semidestroyed. The chief had orders to send his men into the building to check for bodies even though it was more than six weeks after 9-11. PLEASE SEE THE PILE ON A9

WATER PROBLEM RESOLVED The cloudy-water problem at Moody Park outdoor pool has been resolved and it will no longer need to shut down for an hour each day, according to the city’s parks and recreation department. Installing a new filter and switching from a solid puck to a liquid chlorination system did the trick, according to the department. The cloudy water was not perceptible to swimmers but posed a problem for lifeguarding safety. Until now, the pool has had to close for one hour each day to let the filtration system “catch up.”

There’s a bar on Staten Island in New York City where everyone knows New Westminster resident Jeff Clark’s name. Well, maybe not everyone, but many of the employees and patrons do. Duffy’s Bar is a little hole-inthe-wall storefront squeezed between a 99 cent store and an import/export/lotto outlet in the West Brighton neighbourhood. It’s a firefighters hangout, so that’s where Clark and a bunch of his brethren headed after attending one of the services or wakes following the 9-11 disaster. A Burnaby firefighters’ hat has been on display there since 2001. Clark, a Burnaby Firefighters union official, has been back to Duffy’s several times since. Once he went with his wife with a deputy chief and his wife. They thought he was taking them to the middle of nowhere. “Six hours later we had to tell our wives we had to leave,” says Clark, from New York where he’s helping out with the 2011 World Police and Fire Games to honour the 10th anniversary of 9-11. On one visit to Duffy’s he talked to a firefighter leader who had told his group to follow him as one of the towers crumbled. He dove under a ladder truck. When the danger passed he got up and yelled, “C’mon guys, let’s go.”

Jack Layton, Canada’s Opposition leader, who died Monday, will be remembered for being an optimistic and encouraging leader who made time for all members of his caucus, according to Dawn Black, a former NDP MP for New Westminster. “When I sat in the caucus and he asked me if I would act as the NDP critic for defence, I said, ‘Oh my God Jack, are you crazy?’ He told me that I was capable of doing it,” said Black. “He was a positive force, so full of energy. He believed in working together to bring change to Canadians.” Black was first elected to parliament in 1988 and spent more than eight years representing New Westminster. In 2009, she moved to provincial politics and was elected as MLA. New Westminster’s current representative in Ottawa, NDP MP Fin Donnelly, said Layton was a supportive leader who listened to his caucus. “When I first went to Ottawa, Jack said to me, ‘Here’s my number and Fin I expect you to use it. If you have any questions call me,’” said Donnelly. He added that when he presented Layton with some ideas for environmental policies, Layton not only listened to him but set up time with senior staff to discuss the ideas.

Jack Layton speaks to a town hall meeting in New Westminster.
That was impressive to a rookie MP like Donnelly, he said. To support local members of the federal NDP, Layton attended two fundraisers at the Jim McNeney house in Queen’s Park in October 2005 and November 2006. At that heritage house, he had his picture taken in the same spot where Winston Churchill had been photographed decades before, according to Black. He also paid a visit to Burger Heaven, a favorite New Westminster hangout, in April 2010. The restaurant held their infamous burger poll during the federal election campaign in April. Jack Layton won that poll, according to Burger Heaven man-
ager Stephen Domaas. A month later, the NDP won an unprecedented 103 seats in parliament and became the official opposition to Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. Layton’s optimism was present in both his political and personal life, according to Black, who said when Layton resigned last month he fully intended to return to parliament in the fall. “Jack believed that he could beat this. He believed that he could fight it off. Within the last little while, of course, he realized that it might be the end,” Black said, adding that in a letter to Canadians released on the day of his death Layton spoke to and

inspired all Canadian families dealing with cancer—including hers. “I’ve had two children who have gone through cancer and I haven’t been able to read that whole letter because I start to cry,” Black said. Family was a topic that Black and Layton bonded over. “When his granddaughter Beatrice was born a few years ago, he had a glint in his eye when he said to me he understood why I wanted to step down from federal politics and move to provincial politics so I could be closer to my family,” said Black, who has seven grandchildren. As to the future of the NDP, Black believes that despite the great loss the party will not lose the momentum it gained in the last federal election. “There’s only one Jack Layton. The ideas that he put forth were the ideas of social democracy. They are the NDP’s values and they’ll carry on.” Donnelly said Layton’s legacy will not soon be forgotten by his party. “Without Jack the party has definitely suffered a huge loss, but as a leader he’s built a solid foundation for the party,” said Donnelly.

Saving the submarine Eddy, whose petition to save the park from being “displaced or impinged by other development” has been in circulation for a couple of years and boasts a total of 840 signatures. “(The park) is the only amenity in the Quayside community and we don’t want our children and grandchildren to have to go outside of the community to another park at their inconvenience,” said Eddy in an email to the NewsLeader. The park is dubbed the “Children’s Submarine Park” because a submarine from an Expo ‘86 sculpture inspires the theme of its play area. “The park would be in the shadow of this bridge,” said Eddy. He added that having a bridge right above a children’s play area is dangerous “unless
Spider-Man signs petition to keep park By Helen Polychronakos CONTRIBUTOR
Always a champion for kids fun, Spider-Man—or a New Westminster resident dressed just like the superhero—was one of 230 people who signed a petition at the Quayside Boardwalk Festival and Sale last weekend to save the Quayside Park, also known as the Children’s Submarine Park. The “villain” in this battle is a cycling and pedestrian bridge to Queensborough that city hall plans to build in the next few years. The bridge could ruin the park if it is built too close to it on Third Avenue, according to Quayside resident Ted
they put extra money and put caging around it, which would make it even uglier. There are malicious people who like to throw rocks.” City councillor Jonathan Cote said in a phone interview that the bridge was still at the conceptual stage of planning and that an exact location had not been chosen for it yet. “We’re not quite at the level of development to know exactly what it will impact, but certainly if there is an impact on the park there is a potential to move the park” said Cote. “I know that there are some concerns but overall it will enhance the Quayside and Queensborough areas. It’s important to work through some of the issues that might arise but it’s an incredibly important structure.”

Question of the week
Layton’s legacy
Will the NDP recover from the loss of Jack Layton? www.newwestnewsleader.com
The news that Jack Layton had succumbed to cancer early Monday morning still came as a jolt even though it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Layton had put on a brave face when he stepped up to the podium in late July to announce he’d be stepping aside as the leader of the NDP to focus his attention and energy on battling a new cancer that had presented itself even as he vanquished a previous diagnosis of prostrate cancer. He said he’d be back. But his gaunt appearance and thin, weak voice indicated his health was worse than he would publicly admit. This was not the Jack Layton who bounded off campaign buses to tirelessly promote his vision of hope and optimism in an increasingly divisive Canada where the gap between the haves and have-nots keeps getting wider. This was not the Jack Layton who played a fun road hockey game with campaign workers in Burnaby like it was a seventh game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This was not the Jack Layton whose smile and sincerity even charmed nationalist Quebecois to catapult his party to official opposition status in the May federal election. In the cynical world of Canadian politics Jack Layton came across as a hard-working, honest guy who was as much at ease talking to a homeless man on a street corner as he was bending the ears of the political hoi polloi in Ottawa. Not even his political opponents could muster a bad word when he went public with his latest health challenge, and all said they were looking forward to doing battle with him again in the House of Commons. But that won’t happen. Layton’s personal popularity had elevated his party to heights it had never known in Canada’s parliament. His ascent to leader of the official Opposition was the culmination of years of toil since he took over control of the party in 2003 when it had only 13 seats. It will be up to his party’s 103 elected parliamentarians that the renewed hope within those Canadians who voted them in will be Layton’s legacy.

depends on whether clean energy can command a premium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources have a carbon price imposed on them. Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. Climate change has fallen off the front page as the U.S. and Europe grapple with economic troubles. So I was surprised to find that this month Powerex, BC Hydro’s electricity trading company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarification of the state’s proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules. California wants to prevent suppliers from engaging in “resource shuffling,” where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export. Considering that restriction, B.C.’s self-sufficiency rule starts to make more sense. If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean. Also, a meta-analysis on climate effects came out last week in the journal Science, detailing world-wide species migration due to warming. Clean energy sales to California are a long way off, but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility.

Re: Property tax—comparing apples to apples (Column, NewsLeader, Aug. 12) It is often difficult to compare property taxes across the region, but using the mill rate to compare municipal taxes is not very useful. Since property values vary dramatically across the region, mill rates actually tell us very little about what residents are actually paying in municipal taxes. A better way to compare municipal taxes is to examine the tax amounts on average properties across the region. It is these metrics, that both Chris Bryan and I have been using, that give people a better idea how their tax bill might stack up against those in neighbouring communities. The results for New Westminster are mixed. If we look at all residential properties, New Westminster is below the regional average (ranking 12th out of 19). Some might argue that this is not a fair comparison since New Westminster has a higher proportion of multi family units. Having said that, whether a family lives in a rental apartment or a single-family home, they still require many of the same municipal services. If we only look at single-family homes, New Westminster is above the regional average (ranking sixth out of 19). This is the figure that Chris Bryan was primarily focusing on in his columns, and it represents another valid metric for comparisons. I don’t believe the city should be satisfied with these rankings, and moving forward I think the city needs to focus on growing its non-residential tax base. The
new Kruger industrial warehouse in Queensborough, TransLink’s new head office in Sapperton and the new office tower above the Multi-Use Civic Center will all help improve our tax base. We need to attract more of these types of developments if we are going to have sustainable property taxes in the future. Jonathan Cote New Westminster city councillor
In praise of libraries Re: Libraries a diverse gathering place (NewsLeader, Aug. 17) Thank you for your article in praise of libraries. Many people believe the myth that in our Internet age, we don’t need libraries anymore. In fact, librarians are vital in organizing all that wealth of information and are more important than ever. And then there are all those other aspects of the library that you pointed out in your article. Sometime you could also do an article that covers the historical archives upstairs at the New West library. I appreciate the support you’ve given our libraries over the years. Joyce Nickel New Westminster Libraries definitely still matter! Although there are many pleasures out there (old and new), finding and reading a good book is still one of the great ones. Public libraries are one of the great inventions of civilization. They are busy hubs of information and entertainment. I still hear it said “all I need is a roof over my head and a
library card.” For children who like to read (and their parents), they are a godsend. Karl Maier New Westminster
Burr Theatre was the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ Re: Whatever happened to the Burr? (NewsLeader, Aug. 12) Even after all this time people constantly stop me to ask that very same thing. I’m amazed and humbled at the affection still held for the shows, performers and staff who produced such a high standard of theatre that we were known as “The Jewel in the Crown of New Westminster.” There have been many theories and some unfortunate misinformation since then, but as the former founding and managing artistic director of the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Centre I believe I am uniquely placed to explain exactly what happened to the Burr during my tenure 2000-2005. The Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society was created in 1996 to raise money to create and operate a performing arts centre in downtown New Westminster bearing the name of Raymond Burr. The original strategic plan also included in-house production of plays. Money was raised through seat sales and other initiatives and in October 2000 the society was in a position to lease the old Columbia Theatre from the city with the understanding that within five years it would raise enough money to purchase the building.
But things changed. From when the society took possession of the Columbia in October 2000 (when I was invited to bring the first play into the building) until I was laid off in May 2005 the society’s board raised no more money, even refusing to fulfil its obligation to take part in existing gaming grant activities. The only real source of income came from ticket sales generated by in-house productions. This covered all production costs and made a growing contribution to overheads as shown in the society financials. It also brought $1.2 million into the local economy over those four years. When the board killed the highly successful in-house productions in 2005, that only source of income was gone and it was just a matter of time before the Burr lost its home which it did early in 2006. Why the board of that period made the decisions it did is something I will never understand. It made no sense to me at the time and even with the hindsight of five plus years it still seems very strange. I’m pleased to relate the core of the production company is still together and continues producing popular and successful plays—although now we are based in Surrey and known as The Royal Canadian Theatre Company. As we frequently tour, we would love to come back to New Westminster but unfortunately there is no suitable venue for us—although I am assured that the current Burr society board is looking at possibilities for a revival.

Burnaby Hearing Centre Why do you charge for a hearing test? Audiologists cannot bill the Medical Services Plan for their professional services. Payment for a complete hearing test ensures you will receive an unbiased, professional opinion. It is common to include this fee when you buy hearing aids. Hearing aids must be ordered within 6 months of your last hearing test If you are covered by a third party such as WorkSafe BC or Veterans Affairs Canada, they will be billed for the hearing test. Extended health plans may pay for the hearing test. Contact your insurance company to see if you can be reimbursed for a hearing test. gs

Festival of bargains The deals at Saturday’s Quayside festival and sale were almost as hot as the temperature, one of the warmest of the summer. Clockwise from far left, Wilson Becket stays cool at his table; visitors hunt for bargains while the business of the Fraser River carries on in the background; a shopper checks out decorative crafts; there were plenty of bargains and found treasures at some of the dozens of tables along the promenade.

The chief was reluctant to do so because he felt the building was unstable and didn’t want to risk any more lives. “He had tears in his eyes because he was overwhelmed with what he had to do. As we were talking the building started to collapse right before our eyes,” says Furlotte. During that visit, trucks at the site were hosed down because they were carrying away metal so hot their tires were melting. The visitors also noticed a damaged panel van at The Pile and asked why it hadn’t been removed yet. They were told the owner was one of several off-duty firefighters who made his way to the scene to help out. He was still missing, and when the firefighters looked in the van they found a note he’d left that day addressed to his wife and kids telling them how much he loved them. “The firefighters wouldn’t let them take that van away until they found his body,” Furlotte says.

guy at the end of the bar in the jean jacket” had already paid it. At one restaurant, Furlotte tried to give their benefactor some money and not have him pay the whole bill, but the man would have none of it. He said adamantly to Furlotte, in a thick New York accent, “If you try and give me that money one more time, I’ll shove it down your throat.” (In reality “throat” had an adjective not fit to print in
front of it.) Furlotte says through it all the Burnaby firefighters kept their emotions in check as best they could. But on the plane headed home the dams burst and tears flowed for many. “They held it together because that’s what they do. Afterward you got on the plane and it’s all over and it hits you,” says Furlotte. “It was the enormity of it all.”
Important trip The trip changed many local firefighters, Furlotte, too. “It made you look at things differently, it made you look at your fellow firefighters differently,” he says. “It made you think about the brotherhood a lot more.” A few years later a bunch of them returned with their spouses, and made contact with many of the firefighters.

New Yorkers opened wallets In the mornings, the group would eat breakfast close to a fire house and visit it afterward to give moral support. Bowcock said the beleaguered New York firefighters needed a distraction, so they’d talk about a lot of stuff besides 9-11 with the most frequent topic of conversation being football. “When we went to New York I didn’t want to impose myself on the firefighters there. Others wanted to get right in there and talk. I didn’t want to cause any more grief,” says Bowcock. “I found the New York firefighters wanted to talk to you at the drop of a hat. They were amazing people.” Despite them being from a different country and a continent away, New Yorkers opened their hearts, and wallets, to the Canadian crews. One cab driver, despite an expensive ride, refused to accept payment. Furlotte went to pay the group’s bill at one joint and was told to forget it because “the

“C’mon guys, let’s go.” There was no answer. Just deadly silence. They had gone on the other side of the street under another truck and he lost his whole troop. “Jeff, have I ever met evil?” said the New Yorker to Clark. “No I haven’t, but evil met good that day. What those terrorists did to us we will never forget. It will make us stronger, our brotherhood and sisterhood.” In 2002, some New York firefighters came out for a visit. Their Burnaby brethren picked them up at the airport and then whisked them to Whistler for a ski vacation. They brought a big, brown box labeled New York Pizza, and Clark actually believed it contained some Italian pie from the Big Apple. Finally, they opened it up and in it were bag pipes, which one of the firefighters played, just like had been done at all the funerals and memorial services the Burnaby firefighters had attended following 9-11. After being awarded the 2009 Games in 2003, Clark and the Burnaby union helped New York put together its winning bid in 2005. Recently the FDNY held its 30th international soccer tournament. They invited squads from all over the world to participate but Burnaby was the only one from North America to receive an invitation. New York doesn’t have the venues Burnaby and the rest of Metro Vancouver was able to provide two summers ago. Money was so short, firefighters had to be seconded to manage the games while Burnaby was able to hire staff experienced in event management. So far New York, though, has received almost 17,000 entries, including many from Burnaby and New Westminster, blowing up the previous record of 10,500 set in 2009.

For the record book
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILE
The world’s largest tin soldier gets a new coat of paint. Its first edition didn’t break any world records, but the Guinness Book of Records has been compiling them ever since. Borne from an argument Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness Breweries, had over the fastest game bird in Europe, the first 197-page bound edition of the journal of extreme feats and accomplishments hit the streets of London on Aug. 27, 1955. By Christmas it was a British bestseller, and the next year, it’s first U.S. edition sold 70,000 copies. Today, the Guinness Book of Records is the world’s best selling copyrighted book. And the city of New Westminster has a small place deep within its pages, as the residence and owner of the world’s largest tin soldier. In fact, Guinness created a special category to recognize the 31-foot tall metal statue that stands sentry at the east end of the River Market at Westminster Quay. The giant five-ton soldier was built by a team of 12 workers at Austin Metal Fabricators in Burnaby, who spent about 500 hours sculpting the pieces and welding them together. Its first home was in front of the New Westminster Armory, where it was installed on Nov. 29, 2000 as the showpiece for that year’s Festival of Trees, a fundraising event for the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living. Less than three months later, it was disassembled and transported down the hill to its new home at Westminster Quay, where, on Valentine’s Day, it was erected on a special concrete pedestal that contains a time capsule which will be opened in 2025. It was also repainted to honour New Westminster’s first fire brigade, known as the Hyacks.
