Coal plan gets green light from Port Approved: Port Metro Vancouver has approved plans by Fraser Surrey Docks to build a coal transfer facility. Coal would be transferred there on trains and then barged to China via Texada Island. The proposed facility is directly across the river from New West.

Fraser Surrey Docks will have to meet certain conditions, but opponents in the city are furious that the plan has not been axed BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

The dust hasn’t even settled and already New Westminster residents are voicing their outrage with Port Metro Vancouver’s decision to approve Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposed coal transfer project. Thursday morning Port Metro Vancouver announced it had granted a project permit to Fraser Surrey Docks for a $15-million direct coal transfer facility that will see four million metric tonnes of coal, mined in the United States, pass through the docks in Surrey. From the local facility, directly across the river from New Westminster’s Quayside neighbourhood, the coal will be shipped by barge to China via Texada Island. Quayside resident and vocal anti-coal activist James Crosty was outraged when The Record reached him shortly after the decision was made. “It’s really disgusting,” he said. “I can’t believe that they’ve ignored all of the processes that were put into place.” Crosty was one of the leaders of an anti-coal petition, which was signed by nearly 25,000 people and to this day is still gathering signatures. “It’s just so typical to announce it in the summer hoping that people will let it go, but there are 25,000 signatures opposed to this in the Lower Mainland.” The fight against the proposal has been raging for nearly two years. Cities including New Westminster, Delta and even Surrey openly opposed the coal transfer facility, citing the possible detrimental health impacts, which they said weren’t properly addressed in the health impact assessment done earlier this year. Municipal leaders, including New Westminster school trustees, called upon Port Metro to demand a more compre-

hensive assessment from Fraser Surrey Docks. Council candidate Patrick Johnstone said he was disappointed in the decision but not surprised. “Once the federal government decided they didn’t want to do a formal environmental assessment of projects like this, I think the port just did a cursory review that was set up to grant approval,” he told The Record. Johnstone said facilities like Fraser Surrey Docks are disregarding the municipalities in which they operate and despite James Crosty: claiming they were “It’s really disopen to public input, gusting.

against the project. New Westminster Environmental Partners spokesperson Andrew Murray agreed. “The democratic model is broken. Our democratically elected members of our local governments are being bypassed by federal bodies that are working from a very rigid ideologically viewpoint on trade, with no consideration for the implications of global climate change,” he said. “That’s just fundamentally wrong.” Coal is not only a contentious issue Andrew Murray: across in the Lower “They don’t take Mainland. into consideration South of the borthe global impacts der, Oregon recently of ... thermal coal.” denied Ambre Energy

the permit it needed to build a similar facility at Port Westward. Speaking to Port Metro Vancouver’s decision, Crosty, Johnstone and Murray all agreed the possible environmental and health impacts aren’t worth the 25 jobs the project will create. But despite the disappointing decision, all three men are hope Metro Vancouver, which recently issued a ticket to Fraser Surrey Docks for a poor air quality assessment, can stop it. “They have to get a licence from Metro Vancouver and they have taken Metro Vancouver to court on that issue,” Crosty said. “That certainly has to flow its way through the courts. I can’t imagine they would be allowed to operate until that’s cleared. At least that’s my hope.” Murray echoed Crosty and said he is shocked at the arrogance of Fraser Surrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouver to say the coal transfer facility wasn’t required to adhere to bylaws laid out by ◗Coal Page 8

hat do you do when you collect hundreds, if not thousands, of items over five decades and have no space for them anymore? Open a museum. At least that’s what Ron Boorman of Boorman Archery on East Columbia Street has done. Nestled inside his shop is a first-of-its-kind archery museum, with artifacts dating back to the early 1900s. “I had a bunch of stuff all over the place and pieces given to me by friends,” the 82year-old said. “There was even a little old lady who came in with a bow and arrow, just to put it in here. I don’t know where she came from.” When you first walk in, you notice a quilt hanging on the wall. As a tribute to the many competitions Boorman has entered, his wife Sheila sewed some of his T-shirts together. As you continue down that same wall, you’re taken through time. Whether it’s the compound bow or the recurve bow, there isn’t a moment of the sport’s evolution not on display. Other pieces include the exact bow seen in Blade: Trinity as well as the arrow Legolas used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. On the back wall is Boorman’s most prized possession – a signed photograph taken of the 1992 Olympic opening ceremonies, where athlete Antonio Rebollo shoots a flaming

Officers investigating New West’s first murder of 2014 Homeless man’s body found near river front BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A 36-year-old man found dead on the bank of the Fraser River Saturday evening was the victim of murder, police say. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced Tuesday it was taking over the investigation into the death of Christian Klatt, whose body was found near Sapperton Landing at about 6:45 p.m. on Aug. 16. Police say foul play was determined through an autopsy but haven’t said how the victim died or why. “Currently the Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team has conduct (of the case), and we are working closely with the (New West police) to identify witnesses, persons of interest and determine a motive,” the release read. Klatt’s murder is the first homicide of 2014 in the Royal City. Investigators believe he was homeless and living in a makeshift camp near where his body was found. Last year, there were four homicides committed in New West. Karen Nabors and Jill Lyons were killed in their apartments in August 2013, and 19-year-old Karim Meskine was beaten to death near the 22nd Street SkyTrain station. Anyone with information regarding Klatt’s murder is asked to call the homicide police tipline 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

open for six months, gaining traffic only through word of mouth. One look at the guestbook and it’s obvious the response has been overwhelming. “People are amazed by the stuff they’re looking at. We’ve had customers from all around the world. Just in the last month, there were people from Sweden and Tokyo,” Boorman said. Boorman Archery, which also operates a school for adults and kids,

has been in the New West community since 1964. Archers like Dorothy Lidstone have gone on to win world championships and celebrities like Jennifer Garner have trained there for movie roles.

But at the end of the day, this not-yet-retired local is motivated by one thing. “Simply put, I love what I do.”

OUR VIEW

fic has largely been a source of conflict due to noise and rumbling for residents living nearby. But derailments are possible anywhere – yes, we’ve had some here, though luckily they’ve been benign in content and no one was injured – and the Lac Mégantic report has left us wondering why the powers that be have left so much oversight to the companies themselves. The federal transportation minister told media last week that, in terms of railway safety, “the government puts the rules in place. The companies are expect-

ed to follow the rules.” That’d be a great way to manage things for industries in which no human life or the environment is at potential risk or where profit over safety could never be a pressure. But transportation? Railways? Direct, enforced oversight is critical, even if it costs us money to do it right. One thing we know for certain is that no investigation and no report – no matter how thorough, how damning, how full of recommendations for the future – can undo a disaster once it has occurred.

We’re reaping ‘beneﬁts’ of long-leash policy EDITOR’S LETTER

PAT TRACY

omething changed in B.C. in 2001 – and it wasn’t just the government. When Gordon Campbell and his Liberals decided to make B.C. more business and industry friendly they had a vision of less red tape, fewer regulations and less gov’t oversight of environmental standards. The change in an entire model of how government should, or was, involved in environmental regulations and oversight was no minor thing – although downplayed by Liberals at the time. I remember an interview in The Record office with Campbell during one of the campaigns as he brushed off my questions about the changes. It was, he assured me, not necessary to have all the red tape from decades before because such strides had been made in protecting the environment. He also said that companies and businesses responded better to a ‘goal’ model, instead of a punitive one. Joyce Murray, then minister of Water, Land and Air Protection (thankfully this ‘rebranding’ was later dropped and the Ministry of Environment was reinstated) agreed with the new model.

The cynical journalist in me questioned exactly why industry would be quick to meet ‘expected’ regulatory standards under this new long-leash formula. While Campbell argued that it was in industry’s best interests to fully comply and be proactive I wondered if he really believed what he was saying. Honestly, it’s all about money. And he of all people had to have known that. And what business or industry doesn’t push the limits in an effort to squeeze more profits out of its enterprise? And if an industry’s delay in meeting expected goals just draws a nasty letter from some bureaucrat – well, heck, that’s not going to cut into the shareholders’ dividends. Jump forward nearly a decade later and one can now see the impact of a lighter touch in environmental regulations and compliance. These kinder, gentler, less punitive environmental policies allowed the B.C. government to dump a lot of professionals who would have been doing regularly scheduled environmental and geotechnical appraisals. Biologists, engineers – who needs them when the industries can hire their own and give you reports? The policy may seem minor when one goes through the scads of changes wrought in environmental regulations during recent years. Mines in parks? No problem. Environmental assessments for

Dear Editor:

Seven years ago, I found out that I had breast cancer. I had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and many, many doctors’ appointments. I was scared, sure, my mom had died from it. But, I was never afraid that I would become homeless, or that my son would go hungry. I didn’t have medical bills to worry about. That’s because we have a public healthcare system for doctor and hospital care. It’s paid for through taxes, and it ensures that we all get medically necessary doctor and hospital care based on need, not on our individual ability to pay. We have laws that protect our public health care system from those who want to make a profit off of our illness and injury. We don’t have to buy medical insurance for basic ◗Gov’t Page 7

medically necessary care like they do in the U.S. Insurance that only covers some of the costs of care. Many people in the U.S. go bankrupt from medical costs, the majority of these have medical insurance. Others just die when they can’t afford to seek medical care. We don’t want that kind of health care system in Canada. Where those with lots of money buy faster access to health care, and the majority get poorer quality care, wait longer, and die more often. But for-profit surgical clinic owner Brian Day is trying to use our courts to strike down the laws that prevent a U.S.-style system in Canada. This court case poses a huge threat. And it begins in B.C. Supreme Court on Sept. 8. If Dr. Day wins, the public system that people in Canada rely on, and overwhelmingly support, will be further dismantled across the country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR System needs to be saved ◗ continued from page 6

Private hospitals and medical insurance would be allowed, and the public system would be scaled down. Dr. Day claims the defining principle at the heart of medicare in Canada – that health services be provided according to a patient’s need, not their ability to pay – is unconstitutional. I believe he is saying that a rich person’s right to buy faster care and a doctor’s right to make a profit are more important than an average or poor person’s right to have quality healthcare. Evidence shows that the kind of system Dr. Day wants would lead to longer wait times for care and poorer health for most of us. On top of that, there is NO evidence that private, for-profit care results in better care – not anywhere in the world. Are there problems that need to be addressed in our public health care system? Absolutely, and there are many public innovations and efficiencies that can be implemented across the system to decrease wait times where needed and further improve quality of care. Let’s focus on strengthening our treasured system, rather than replacing it with a U.S.-style system that would ultimately lead to poorer, more expensive care for all of us. Rachel Tutte, New Westminster

Economy relies on all of us Dear Editor:

Port Metro Vancouver must be another privatization initiative by our Liberal

masters, like B.C. Ferries, Translink, B.C. Hydro, B.C. Parks, B.C. Medical, B.C. Lotteries, B.C. Forests, and no doubt others not as much in the public eye. Wasteto-energy incineration and Multi-Material B.C. privatize our waste stream, turning over our lucrative recoverable resources to corporate control, maximizing waste, pollution, and our climate change impact. Our taxes no longer pay for essential services at cost. Now we pay cost plus corporate profit-and lose our commons. Liberal legislation establishes corporate boards (or contracts out) and gives them control of our public services while maintaining the fiction that these are still crown corporations or government entities. This lets people blame government for rising prices, furthering cries for private services. How many fishers, boaters and floathome residents can afford a 300 percent increase in moorage? If they get rid of the people on the river, where can we go, and who can afford to replace those of us using our river, and every waterfront commons? Do they imagine enough billionaire foreigners to keep our economy happening? Low minimum wage and a rapacious welfare system escalate child poverty, homelessness, and social stress. Tax and user fee increases, rising home prices – we all know the list – amplify economic pressure and social disorder. Liberals and their corporate masters don’t seem to realize that pricing citizens out of existence puts their economies at risk as well as ours. Hilda Bechler, New Westminster

Gov’t: Changes have negative impacts ◗ continued from page 6

natural gas producers in the province? Who needs them? Fish farms? It’s all good. Of course, compared to the Conservatives’ gutting of federal environmental regulations, the Liberals look almost left of center. But it’s cold comfort for those who care about the environment. In the aftermath of the

Mount Polley tailing pond disaster Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said “this is not an issue of having enough inspectors on the ground.” He could be right. At this point it could be about anything. But it is surely the provincial government’s responsibility. When you remodel a system to allow for the

speeders to push the limits you are responsible for accidents that follow. The government is just darn lucky that there were no people in the path of the Polley washout. This could have been about more than murdering the environment it could have been about manslaughter. Pat Tracy is the editor of The Record.

Chuck Puchmayr said there has to be a better way of auditing rail companies, including those operating in New Westminster. He applauded the report released Tuesday by the Transportation Safety Board about last year’s train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que., which concluded 18 factors contributed to the tragedy, including a weak safety culture, gaps in training and Transport Canada’s failure to keep a watchful eye.

“There has to be a better way of auditing how these safety performances are happening and how the railways are dealing with looking at themselves,” said Puchmayr, who chairs the city’s railway advisory panel. “The government needs to play a bigger role because in the last few years, it has deregulated the industry.” Although skeptical an accident that size would happen in New West, Puchmayr said it never hurts to err on the side of caution. “The fact we have four railways through our city, I think there would be a real efficiency if you had a bigger role by Transport Canada monitoring safety and infrastructure,” he said. “I would rather go to one source of information, rather than trying to get it from four.”

municipalities and Metro Vancouver. Murray told The Record in an earlier interview: “The opposition will be there every step of the way. They don’t take into consideration the global impacts of exporting thermal coal. We question what the end game is. The bigger issue is Port Metro Vancouver. They cannot run ramshackle over democratically elected governments and the regional growth plans we spent years putting together.” According to a press release from Fraser Surrey Docks, there was a significant amount of work done as part of the review process for the project, including environ-

mental impact reports, air quality reports and human-health risk assessments along with the development of a “comprehensive” strategy for the logistics of the facility. “We take our obligation to the community very seriously, as we have for over 50 years. We understand our responsibility and will deliver on our commitment to ensure this project is operated safely and responsibly,” Jeff Scott, president and CEO of Fraser Surrey Docks said in the release. The project is set to start as soon as possible with construction planning. Operations at the new facility is expected to begin in the fall of 2015.

James Crosty is a longtime Quayside resident and an active member on the Quayside Community Board. He argued the city could learn some lessons from the report by using its railway advisory panel to negotiate protocols for his community. The panel was set up last year as part of the December 2008 settlement agreement between the board and the four rail companies. The agreement sought to reduce noise and vibrations produced by nighttime operations in the rail yard adjacent to the Quayside neighbourhood. “After years of saying to New West residents they would develop protocols for Quayside, we have heard nothing, nor has any consultation taken place for emergency response to any potential rail disaster,” he said. Crosty added the derailment along

Quayside Drive this past June, when five cars carrying grain came off the tracks, shows there’s potential for catastrophe. “It could have easily gone onto the road and taken out the bridge,” he said. “Nobody looked at the worst-case scenario. It was all a matter of smoothing it over. It should have been a wake-up call and it wasn’t.” Crosty suggested the panel should take advantage of their meetings with the rail companies and discuss topics like schedules and types of goods going through. “We sincerely hoped that consultation would have taken place by now, especially in light of a potential derailment in our community,” he said. – With files from Theresa McManus

LOCAL RIDER OFFERS SUGGESTIONS ON BEST SPOTS IN ROYAL CITY

Seeking cycle fun in the city? Here it is ON MY BEAT

NIKI HOPE

here are plenty of spots to take a twowheel cruise in New West says a local cycling enthusiast. Andrew Feltham, a member of HUB (formerly the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition), offers up his ideas for outings to suit every level of rider in the city. One of the best options for new cyclists looking for flat terrain is along the scenic Fraser River. The only downside to the route is that there isn’t a link between the Westminster Pier Park and Sapperton landing, Feltham says. “That’s a big challenge. I don’t know when that’s going to be put through, but the connection between Sapperton Landing and the Braid (Street) industrial area is imminent,” says the member of HUB, a charitable organization that was established in 1998 as a non-profit to address cycling issues in Metro Vancouver. Another good local spot to pedal through is on the Millennium Trail in Queen’s Park. “That basically goes around the perimeter of the park,” Feltham says. For riders who are comfortable with cruising in a bit of traffic, he recommends the crosstown greenway along Seventh Avenue. The path leads to fun summer stops, such as the Moody Park pool and Anny’s ice cream shop on Sixth Street. Another quality ride is the London Street greenway, which goes from New Westminster Secondary School through the city’s west end.

all of the way through and make them safe for cyclists and pedestrians,” he says. One improvement he’d like to see made is to the new facilities on London and 20th streets. The city did remove parking and made a separated bike lane in the area, but the intersection puts riders at risk because the city didn’t put the final barriers in that they need to make it a one-way street instead of a two-way street, Feltham says. “Earlier in the year, there was a pedestrian hit there,” he says, “and we’re still concerned that somebody is going to be rat racing and hit someone. “They really need to go the extra mile and really make it truly safe, and that

don’t come from here. They come from somewhere else,” he says. With the many options for safe, fun rides, there’s no reason not to go for a cruise before summer pedals away.

Birds of a feather print together Bird enthusiasts and artsy folks alike are sure to enjoy the latest offering by New Westminster’s ArtStarts. On Sunday, Aug. 31, artist Colette Lisoway will teach printmaking techniques in two free workshops at River Market, while simultaneously sharing her knowledge about seasonal birds, their behaviours and local habitats. Participants will move between different printmaking stations where they’ll be able to make their own printing plates, print with lino blocks and stamps, and try out screenprinting. “Using layers of images, patterns and text printed on to cloth, you’ll create a bird flag for yourself or for our community art installation,” reads a press release for the event. “Be prepared to have some fabulous fun, get crazy creative and marvelously messy.” The 45-minute sessions start at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and are ideal for anyone aged four and up. The River Market is located at 810 Quayside Dr. For more information, visit artstarts.com or email Siobhan Rich at siobhan@artstarts.com. – Jacob Zinn

Ballpoint pen wasn’t allowed in schools OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

ithout getting into the educational dispute in B.C., it is the time of year when we are inundated with advertisements, promotions and lots of commentary on back-to-school needs. Our mailboxes have had numerous flyers over the last several weeks, all pushing the current requirements for starting the upcoming school year. Today, these “requirements” are far broader in scope than what many folks grew up with and seem, at times, to be simply another catalogue of things related to dayto-day living, not just to school. Stationery and office equipment stores have been featuring large displays of multiple-page lists indicating specific items needed.

For many people, especially those who are a little older and who grew up in the Lower Mainland, one store’s backto-school events stand out – Woodward’s Department Store. There were many others, of course, but this one led the way. There were always back-to-school hints early in the summer, but the Woodward’s late summer $1.49 Day was massive for students and their parents. It was a scene of organized chaos in which, school supply lists in hand, students gathered up the necessary goods, some with the Woodward’s name attached – especially the coveted blue and white pencil boxes. In the decades prior to the Woodward’s example, back-to-school was sometimes referred to, but not nearly in the same way or frequency. Some of the shops that prominently featured seasonal items for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and Halloween also pointed out what they had for the local “scholars.” Some of the items we

Canada’s Online Lifestyle Magazine

MAKE LIKE U2: JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK

see in their advertisements include notebooks, diaries and ledgers, pencils, fountain pens, straight pens, pen nibs and ink, art and drafting supplies, folders, binders and brief cases. Even though required textbooks were supplied by the schools, the stores noted that they had selections of atlases, dictionaries, almanacs and encyclopaedias. When people reminisce about picking up school supplies, they remember many different things connected to various grades. Pencils were mainly HB (the standard), and nothing harder unless you needed them for drafting. Now about the ballpoint pen. Well, in the ’50s, it was a relatively new item and wasn’t allowed in local schools until around 1958. Many people remember being told when they could bring them to school. Some will recall the straight pen and nib and the desk inkwell, especially for writing class. So many things connected to memories of back-to-school and we’ve touched only a few. No doubt you will have your own favourites.

Jumper medals twice at Legion nationals BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Nina Schultz is making a strong case for Canada’s top up-and-coming athlete in the jump events. The 15-year-old New Westminster athlete won two medals in horizontal jumps, including a national championship gold medal in the under-18 girls’ long jump, with a winning leap and personal-best effort of 5.82 metres at the Legion Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships held in Langley last weekend.

B.C. pips East in midget series

Schultz, who won the B.C. high school’s most outstanding athlete award at the provincial championships in June, needed her best jump of the day to beat Ontario runner-up Jamilah James, who was tied with the New West Spartan club athlete at 56.5m heading into the final round of jumps. Moments earlier in the competition, Schultz, who is ranked No. 1 in Canada in the youth and junior division in high jump, failed to make 1.65m and had to settle for fifth place in what

is considered her best field event. A day earlier, James topped Schultz in the triple jump. Schultz placed second in the event with a PB jump of 12.17m. James won the triple with a 12.61m best. Schultz also ran a strong opening leg on B.C.’s 4x400m relay team, clocking a personal-best split time of 57.80 seconds in the finals. Team B.C. placed fifth in the race, behind champions Team Alberta and runnersup Quebec and Ontario.

There is no gold medal to play for, but beating Ontario 6-3 in Game 3 of a five-game series is reward enough. “It says we pretty much (are the best in Canada),” said Team B.C. midget lacrosse runner Mackenzie Burns of Burnaby. “I think it’s the first time (B.C.) has ever won.” B.C. opened the series last Sunday with a 10-2 victory in Coquitlam and followed up the win with a narrow 4-3 triumph at Queen’s Park on Monday. On To view Tuesday, a video, B.C. surscan rendered with an early Layar one-goal lead but ended the first period with a three-goal to run, including go-ahead goals from Dennon Armstrong and Reid Bowering of Coquitlam. Port Coquitlam runner Clark Walter put the hosts ahead 4-1 on a power-play goal, but Ontario replied, closing the deficit to 4-3 heading into the final period. In the third, Tavin Grant of Burnaby, who finished the game with three assists, set up both Jack Kendall and Jacob Campbell of Juan de Fuca for back-toback goals to ice the win and the series for B.C. Team B.C. outshot Ontario 34-28 in Game 3. Earlier this month, B.C. ran away with its first midget national championship title without Ontario and the Iroquois Nation in attendance. “I think that is why we were so successful this year. We were not just all offence,” said Burns of the team’s overall balanced lineup. Ontario’s box lacrosse team missed the nationals because of a commitment to its province’s Summer Games. The five-game series will wind up tonight (Friday) in Langley, beginning at 6 p.m.
