NDP LEADS IN BUN-OFFICIAL POLL

New West eatery dishes it out again BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Voting with their mouths: Community members have been able to cast votes in a pre-election poll at Burger Heaven. Manager Chris Geib is holding the Christy Clark Burger and the Adrian Dix Burger.

While the B.C. Liberals may be gaining ground in some of the provincial election polls, the NDP has dominated a local poll from Day 1. Burger Heaven restaurant is once again holding its bun-official burger poll, which lets diners vote for their chosen candidate. “The response has been pretty good,” said manager Chris Geib. “A lot of people are having fun with it.” Geib said staff see the odd “silent table” when couples have differing views on which candidate to support. As of May 5, the Adrian Dix (NDP) Burger held a commanding lead with 41 per cent of voters. Trailing behind were the (B)un-Decided Burger – 24 per cent; the Christy Clark (Liberal) Burger – 17 per cent; the Jane Sterk (Green) Burger – 13 per cent; and the John Cummins (Conservative) Burger – five per cent. “They pretty much have it locked up in New West,” Geib said of the NDP. Dix, his wife and a small entourage dropped by the restaurant on the weekend to cast votes for the Adrian Dix Burger. He’s the only leader who has been by to

Where do candidates stand on coal facility? BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A proposed coal export facility at Fraser Surrey Docks is getting a lukewarm response from New Westminster candidates. Fraser Surrey Docks has submitted a proposal to Port Metro Vancouver to develop a direct transfer coal facility at the existing terminal in Surrey, which is located across the river from Westminster Quay. Green party candidate Terry Teather said his party is opposed to the expansion of the coal port at Fraser Surrey Docks. “I am in favour of not expanding that coal port,” he said. “Our position is slightly different with the Green party. We look down the road in terms of the total amount

of coal exports. If we must export coal, the very least we can do is put a carbon tax on that export and get some extra revenue from it.” Independent candidate James Crosty is opposed to expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks for the export of coal. “We have our own coal exports in B.C. We still need to export our resources – nobody is against that. But let’s do our own, not the American coal, because they can’t get export out of their own ports,” he said. “We shouldn’t be the fossil fuel dump for the Americans.” Crosty said American cities along the West Coast have opposed the expansion of coal exports. “It’s U.S. coal – let’s export our own

coal proposal. “I think if you think parts of New Westminster are going to be blanketed by coal dust, I don’t think that is a factual statement.” While he doesn’t believe some of the fears surrounding coal expansions projects are entirely warranted, Bremner said he supports a serious conversation about the issue. “Coal is not illegal. We can’t just single coal out – it’s a legal product,” he said. “It’s a product, and you have to take the emotional value out of it. … What you can do and say to business, no matter what kind of business it is, if it is going to happen in our region, it is going to happen to the highest ◗Coal Page 4

stuff. There’s huge documentation on the Internet, huge – about coal and its effects. They don’t need to export it from here. On the West Coast, they are opposing it all the way down to California. Why are we being used in a highly, densely populated area to export coal?” he said. “Someone said to me, what is wrong with coal? I was absolutely flabbergasted. I thought, have you not done any research on the ill effects of coal on your health.” Liberal candidate Hector Bremner, who lives in a downtown condo that faces Fraser Surrey Docks, said he’s more concerned about increased rail traffic and emissions from boats that are idling on the river. “The reality is there’s a lot of misinformation that’s out there,” he said about the

PROVINCIAL ELECTION 2013: INTERVIEWS BY THERESA MCMANUS, REPOR TER

In their own words – candidates revealed Judy Darcy, NDP

Hector Bremner, Liberal

Question: How long have you lived in New Westminster? Answer: This is such a wonderful community. I feel so proud that it’s my home. My husband I moved to Victoria Hill a couple years ago. Q: Why do you think you are uniquely qualified to represent the riding? A: The issues that I have heard on the doorstep, the issues that I have met with people about in their living rooms and at coffee parties and coffee shops – like public education, like improving seniors’ care, like dealing with traffic and congestion, environmental issues. Those are issues I have worked on my entire life. I have been a lifelong advocate for improving health care, improving seniors’ care, public education, advocating for child care. In my career, in the advocacy I have done all my life, I think I have a really strong record of bringing people together from diverse backgrounds, across the spectrum in order to find practical solutions to the issues that affect people’s lives. That’s really what I think I bring to this and what I want to do if the voters of New Westminster give me the honour of electing me on May the 14th. Q: What would be your own personal priority as an MLA? A: Well I have heard a lot of issues - Pattullo Bridge, seniors care, but if there’s one issue above all that I’ve heard of and that I would certainly make my personal priority, it would be getting that high school built. I have heard concerns about public education, about the need to invest in our classrooms but also about getting our schools built, probably more than any other issue. Q: What accomplishment in your life are you proudest of A: I have been married for 35 years – to the same man. I have loved and supported my son through a lot of challenges in his life, and he’s doing pretty well. In the advocacy work that I have done, I feel really proud of having brought people together to find solutions. There are a number of examples that come to mind. Getting a child-care centre that parents really needed in a community, but also bringing people together around water issues for instance. I helped to create, co-founded, a water coalition, with national and provincial spin-offs to protect Canada’s water. It’s still a goose bumps moment for me remembering the blue-collar water workers who knew the importance of investing in infrastructure because they knew about the size of pipes, environmentalists who were concerned about conservation and about pollution and so on, and citizen advocates. Bringing those people together

James Crosty, Independent

Question: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Answer: I am a father of two boys, came to New Westminster 10 years ago with my wife and have been very, very happy to be here. It’s been a wonderful experience.

Question: How long have you lived in New Westminster? Answer: I have been in New Westminster since 1990, about 23 years – plus. I have been active from almost the very day I arrived in New Westminster. … And you know what? I haven’t stopped since.

Q: What do you think makes you uniquely qualified to represent this riding in Victoria? A: Well, I think people are looking for a new kind of politics. I think people are looking for a new generation of leaders. It’s the 21st century now, it’s time that we had that kind of leadership. You know, I was looking for it, I wasn’t seeing it ,and I said – I’ve always been a big believer (that) you’ve got to be the change you want to see in the world – so you’ve got to get out there, you’ve got to offer yourself to do it, and that’s what I feel I am bringing to this race is a new voice, someone who has contributed to this community in a positive way, put the community first. I have done nothing in this community because I wanted to run for office. I was actually doing those things – you know what, I can do more. I am very excited to offer myself to do it.

Q: Why do you think you are uniquely qualified to represent the riding? A: Part of my experience of living here for a long time, 23 years, has gotten to the point where I know the people, I know the place, and I certainly have come to know the politics. Having run once in a municipal election taught me a lot and it gave me a lot more experience to be better prepared for this particular election and also to represent all of New Westminster in Victoria. It has been 17 years since we have had an independent option in a 40-year reign of the NDP with one term with the Liberals. I thought it would be an opportunity for people that don’t want to vote, the disenfranchised, they don’t like the party system, maybe one step to proportional representation and run as an independent. Q: What would be your own personal priority as an MLA? A: There isn’t just one. I think there (are) two burning issues in New Westminster that really need attention. Certainly, education. We have a huge deficit here that we are dealing with. We don’t have our high school built. It just boggles my mind when I think how long it’s taken us to get – well we have finally started our middle school, which is good – but Burnaby has built three or four schools in the time it has taken us to get to that point. I believe party politics has played a factor in that. As an independent, I don’t care who’s in government, but I can bring everybody to the table. And I mean everybody, has something in stake at the high school property. That would be the first. And then, we have to deal with traffic. We talk about the province not being involved in traffic and TransLink and all this stuff but there has to be something done to help New Westminster get through this. That falls into all the other categories – air quality, health, all of this stuff now becomes a part of that dialogue. Those two priorities are important to me right off the bat.

Q: What would be your priority if elected MLA? A: On the highline level, I really want to make sure that my kids have a bright future. That’s every parent’s job. And I think ultimately every politician’s job is to make sure our children have a bright future. I am deeply concerned about our economy. On a local level, I really want to make sure that New Westminster has a strong voice, that’s not a warm seat for special interests but what it is is being used to effectively represent the community’s best interest in Victoria. I think a lot of people, myself included, have felt over the last 20/25 years, politics has become inverted where we elect people that represent a party’s interest or a government’s interest to a community. They are sales people, whereas I would see it as the traditional sense – we elect someone from our community to be our voice in the commons, in the legislature of British Columbia and say this is where our standpoint is, this is our view point and this is what matters to us. Q: What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? You have professional accomplishments and you have personal ones through volunteerism, there’s lots of things you can talk about, but I think growing up as an only child in a family that was fragmented, I am very proud of building a strong family. You know, I have been so blessed to meet my wife and to have our kids and to have

CANDIDATES TALK ENVIRONMENT AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEET

Climate changing – but opinions differ as to why BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

All of New Westminster’s provincial candidates agree the global climate is changing – but opinions vary on whether it’s a hoax that will be better understood by future generations or an issue needing immediate action. More than 75 people attended a May 1 all-candidates forum hosted by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. Candidates fielded questions on a variety of topics, including Royal Columbian Hospital, pipeline construction, transportation, debt and climate change. Green party candidate Terry Teather said his party has been looking into climate change for more than 25 years. “It is the biggest issue of our time, ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “If we don’t start now, it’s going to affect our children, their grandchildren and future generations for many years to come.” The Green party proposes a series of initiatives to combat climate change including raising the carbon tax until emission

targets are reached and putting caps on greenhouse gas emissions for the 10 largest emitters. Libertarian candidate Louis Dahlby said concerns about climate change are “a bit ridiculous” because the changing climate is part of a trend that’s been underway for years. “Climate change is an asinine term to use,” he said. “We have always had climate change. This area was covered in glaciers 20,000 years ago.” Dalhby said the climate has been warming for the last 18,000 years, and the oceans have been rising. He said the issue is “way overrated” and suggested young people will one day realize what a “hoax” the issue has been. “Yes, the climate is changing. Science tells us at one time New Westminster was under a glacier,” said Conservative candidate Paul Forseth. “I remember elderly people talking about how they would take sleighs across the Fraser in winter. We are gradually changing. We have to look at

science and say, what is science telling us and who is standing in the way, what are the barriers?” Forseth said there are limits to what government can do, but it does have a role in helping individuals understand the things they can do to have a smaller footprint on the environment. “We certainly can lead by example through public education,” he said. NDP candidate Judy Darcy said she found it astonishing that the provincial budget introduced by the B.C. Liberals made no mention of climate change. She said an NDP government would renew B.C.’s climate action plan to meet legislated greenhouse gas targets, lead the call for a national energy and climate change strategy because Canada has a “shameful” record on the world stage, invest a portion of the carbon tax revenues in transit and expand the energy efficient retrofit program. “Let’s be very clear – since 2001 we have come a long way in British Columbia, and the NDP has voted against us every step

environmental standards possible, communities are going to respected, stakeholders are going to be involved and people are going to be consulted.” If the project proceeds, Conservative candidate Paul Forseth said residents must insist that environmental standards are upheld. “Community vigilance and input is important for ensuring that our quality of life is protected,” he said. “But we must also have commerce – if there are no trains and no trucks and no traffic, that means our economy is dead and nobody is working.” NDP candidate Judy Darcy said she shares concerns expressed by

NDP MPs Peter Julian and Fin Donnelly, who have written to Port Metro Vancouver to voice concerns about the project and the public consultation. She believes Port Metro Vancouver shouldn’t be able to make major decisions about issues that affect the community without a comprehensive environmental review. “I think we are seeing with Port Metro Vancouver over and over again acting like it’s a new level of government that’s not very accountable,” she said. “There are enough serious questions that I think there needs to be a very, very thorough consultation with the communities that are going to be affected, and very

careful review of evidence, a real evidence-based inquiry about the possible repercussions.” The coal, which originates in the United States, would travel by rail through White Rock, Delta and Surrey to Fraser Surrey Docks. From there it would be loaded onto ships and eventually sent overseas. NDP leader Adrian Dix is calling for full public hearings on the proposal to export U.C. coal from Fraser Surrey Docks. The Voters Taking Action on Climate Change group is surveying candidates from all parties in ridings near the proposed coal port and rail line to determine their positions on the issue.

of the way,” said Liberal candidate Hector Bremner. “We were the first region in North America, still the only region in North America, to implement a carbon tax.” According to Bremner, the B.C. Liberals have been able to both grow the economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. During their time in government, he said the B.C. Liberals have been shutting down beehive burners, pushed for green energy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions – something he said no other region has been able to do. Independent candidate James Crosty said he’s recently become more aware of the issue of global warming, after a coal export facility was proposed across the river at Fraser Surrey Docks. “The government can do a lot,” he said. “They have to have the will, the desire and the pressure from people like you to make that happen.” Crosty said addressing the coal export facility is a “small piece of the puzzle,” but it could make a difference and give people the confidence to move forward on bigger environmental issues.

Poll: It’s bun-ofﬁcial ◗ continued from page 1

vote. “The only one that doesn’t surprise me is the NDP,” Geib said of the poll results. “The other ones have thrown me for a loop.” Geib noted that the Green party is usually the “bottom dweller” in its burger poll, but that’s no longer the case. “The Liberals I figured would be a little bit higher, the same with the Conservatives,” he said. Any voters wanting to cast a vote for independent candidates can still do so. “It is our undecided/independent category,” Geib said. “It is marked Independent on the board. It says Independent/undecided on our sheet.” So, the numbers could be misleading given that the independent candidate is lumped in with the undecided voters. According to Burger Heaven, the bun-official survey helps determine which way the electorate is “leaning” and the results are often very close to the actual election outcome. Burger Heaven has been holding election polls for 22 years. Burger Heaven, located at 77 10th St. in New Westminster, is running the poll until May 13.

in order to be able to advocate at a local level for protecting and conserving our water. Q: Who has been a role model for you? A: I have a lot of role models, a lot of people who inspire me. Jack Layton inspired me tremendously. I knew and worked with Jack Layton for many years. I was working on an NDP campaign with his wife Olivia when they were still courting. But I think it was his incredible hope and optimism, and his generosity of spirit … He was a very special friend of mine. I’ve been inspired by Dawn Black and Anita Hagen, who have done incredible service to this community. On a day-to-day level what inspires me are those people who just give everything of themselves to make our community a better place – the health-care workers at Queen’s Park Care Centre or in the emergency room at Royal Columbian Hospital, under the incredible pressure; the small business people I have met, who put everything on the line to start their new businesses and also to give back in a big way with jobs but also with service to the community; the volunteers and the staff at Seniors Services Society that I work with. I have a lot of heroes, and I meet a lot of them every day. I think the folks here in the campaign office can tell you everyday I come back and say, you know who I talked to and you know what I learned? That’s what keeps me going.

To me, at the end of the day you can boil everything down to – people who are financially successful, people that are famous, people who accomplish a lot of different things – but at the end of the day, all that really matters is, are you surrounded by people that love you? I feel that I am very, very blessed to count good friends on both hands, I can count them with all 10 fingers, and family all around me. That’s something I am very proud of. Q: Who has been a role model for you? A: There’s a lot of them. My grandfather just passed away. He was very influential on me. Every summer my parents worked, and they didn’t know what to do with me so I would go to Winnipeg and kind of bounce around with relatives there, and I would spend most of that two months of the summer with my grandfather. He served for 30 years in the army; after he left the army as a protocol officer, he started his own companies. He was a very successful person. He taught me a lot about life; more than I ever learned in school, I learned from my grandfather. He taught me that if you are not contributing, you are wasting everybody’s time. So contribute, give everything that you have and always do things for the right reasons. He said to me the empty can rattles down the street the loudest – so I always try to be the full can.

stuck with us for the longest. I had a competition with our human resource person. I said let’s see who has had the most employees stay the longest, and I won that because we treat people fairly and right and they like to be there and they are always challenged. From that perspective having a 20,000-square-foot manufacturing plant was probably my biggest accomplishment. … Q: Who in your life has been a role model for you? A: I have a lot of role models. The youngest son in a family of eight, mom and dad made 10 – I had five older brothers. I looked up to all of them – not all the time. There were times when you don’t. Now in my age of being 56 and my brothers are all older than me, some of them have made some great accomplishments. I really look to them for guidance, I look to them for their accomplishments. With my (prostate cancer) struggle over the last year, Terry Fox came to mind. The way he projected himself and was able to communicate what he went through helped me find the courage to go and make that public announcement as well. The role models change, but ideally you look to people that are a little older than you that have accomplished a lot, and you learn from their experiences.

Farmers Market gets deal on fees The Royal City Farmers Market will soon be moving back into its summer home. New Westminster city council has given its approval for the society to hold its market in the parking lot at Tipperary Park on Thursdays from June 6 to Oct. 3, and has waived the fees for the market. “We would further request that all fees,

including our business license, be waived by the city, which will enable us to use our limited resources in putting on the highest quality market possible,” said market president Andrew Murray in a letter to council. “Your continued support of the Royal City Farmers Market is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you at the market this summer.”

Everyone wants to be an independent

of this in recent memory was when It is perhaps ironic that even candidates who run under a party banner, Joyce Murray, the Liberal MLA for New often insist that their sole purpose in getWestminster, toed the line on closing St. ting into office is to fight for wee New Mary’s Hospital. Her constituents were Westminster. adamant that it not be closed, and the We’re never sure of what hospital’s record of exceptional this exactly means.

That stance led change or policy when their governpretty much ensured the Liberals would ment has been in power. be shut out of the next few provincial Perhaps the most obvious example elections in the city.

OUR VIEW

So, it’s not surprising that candidates present fresh faces and new promises of fighting for New Westminster – presenting themselves not as party hacks, but as individuals who happen to feel more comfortable in this party instead of that party. But this time around we have an actual ‘Independent’ candidate. Certainly, he has much less baggage and no visible party strings. But without a party, he also has much less chance of either getting things for the city, or protecting the city from unwanted changes. Criticize the

current political system all you want (and we’re with you there) but you have much more power in an MLA who has pull in their own party. One just has to look at Vicki Huntington, the Independent MLA in Delta-South, to see how it works. That’s not to say that one should cynically vote based on what’s in it for New West. Principles, policies, and platforms should determine your vote, but don’t go expecting the party candidate who professes to fight for this city, to resign when his or her party supports a provincial plan that negatively impacts this city.

Neck and neck in the election race IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

here are 85 ridings being fought over in this election campaign, and trying to keep track of even half of them can be a daunting task for anyone not a political operative or a journalist assigned to election night duties. But in a close race that separates the top two parties by three percentage points or less (in other words, the usual B.C. election result), it’s safe to say that about 60 of those ridings are locks for either the B.C. Liberals or the NDP. The rest of them (again, in a close result) are in play, in terms of the chances of them being won by either party. Some tilt towards one party more than the other, and some are potential three-way races involving third-party or independent candidates. Of course, if the NDP hangs on to its lead in the polls and wins by five or six percentage points, the B.C. Liberals will be lucky to hang onto 20 of their existing seats. But history suggests elections in this province are usually much closer than that (and therefore more interesting to anticipate!) There’s not enough space in this column to look at all the

potentially key races, but there a number of them in Metro Vancouver that may signal which party is headed for victory – and by how many seats – when all the votes are tallied. They are all currently held by the B.C. Liberals, and if they slip into the NDP’s hands it will indicate it’s all over for the ruling party. But if the B.C. Liberals can hold them, they may not be dead yet. ◆Vancouver-Point Grey: this is ground zero of the election for both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. Both parties are desperate to win here (more than one senior person from either party has told me if they don’t win this seat, they don’t win the election). Christy Clark barely won this seat in the byelection (she won by 500 votes, compared to Gordon Campbell’s 2,300 winning margin in 2009) at the height of her personal popularity, and she’s less popular now. Her chief opponent is David Eby of the NDP, but the B.C. Conservatives are running a credible candidate in Duane Nuckell, and he will likely drain votes from Clark. ◆Vancouver Fairview: a classic “swing” riding that has gone back and forth between the two parties over time. The B.C. Liberals won by little more than 1,000 votes last time, and the NDP is running environmentalist George Heyman against incumbent Margaret MacDiarmid. Heyman is a former B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union president,

Jane’s Walk weekend a success Dear Editor:

Re: Take the first step and join Jane’s Walk, The Record, April 8. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make New Westminster’s first Jane’s Walk weekend a success. Thank you to all those who contributed enthusiasm and encouragement, and especially those who contributed their time to organize and lead one of the 10 well-attended walks.

The Record biased against Darcy

Dear Editor:

Re: Candidates all over the road on new bridge, The Record, May 3. Shame on The Record newspaper! A clear bias against NDP candidate Judy Darcy was evident in the most recent article concerning the new bridge between Coquitlam and New Westminster. Five of the first seven paragraphs of the article focused exclusively on Liberal candidate Hector Bremner as if his was the dominant or most important viewpoint. NDP candidate Darcy did not appear until paragraph 15. Interesting editorial choice, since Darcy is the poll-favorite to win the election. Hey, Record newspaper, some of us are much smarter than you give us credit. And some of us are

Roadwork the last straw

Dear Editor:

When we decided to move to New Westminster, it was a decision to boost our quality of life: wonderful location with beautiful views, affordable (by Vancouver standards) housing, and a unique and trendy atmosphere. However, our roads and streets have made me realize the decision may not have been for the best. As residents of the Victoria Hill neighbourhood are aware, our location is one of the most difficult to get in and out of; with the recent tolling of the Port Mann Bridge, the Pattullo is overcrowded, making McBride Boulevard and Royal Avenue a nightmare, thus making access to our community difficult – to say the least. This morning, to make matters worse, the city began roadwork on Royal Avenue, blocking off all but one lane of traffic in each direction at 8 a.m. This should not be allowed. Roadwork on a major artery, which is already congested at the best of times, should be completed on weekends and during the overnight hours.

Can we ask the mayor to please mandate that roadwork on our most congested routes be completed in non-peak hours? A 20 km commute should not take 90 minutes; the bulk of that time sitting in gridlock on the streets of New Westminster. It’s sad to think a move (of our residence and disposable/shopping dollars) out of this gem of a city is likely imminent. Kelly Grant, New Westminster

No need for prohibition Dear Editor:

Re: Legalization fight still on after smoke clears, The Record, April 26. Now that neighbouring Washington and Colorado states have legalized marijuana, Ottawa can no longer claim Canada must uphold marijuana prohibition in order to maintain good U.S. relations. In 2002, the Canadian Senate’s special committee on illegal drugs concluded marijuana is relatively benign, prohibition contributes to organized crime and law enforcement efforts have little impact on patterns of use. Consider the experience of the United States, current world leader in per capita incarceration. Despite decades of zero tolerance, the U.S. has higher rates of marijuana use than the Netherlands, where marijuana is legally available. The only winners in the war on marijuana are drug cartels and shameless tough-on-drugs politicians who’ve built careers confusing the drug war’s tremendous collateral damage with a comparatively harmless plant.

For years, elections in the region have gone down right to the wire on election night. Last time, the NDP won MR-PM by 274 votes, while the B.C. Liberals won MR-M by a mere 68 votes. If either riding is at all close, it may be a sign the B.C. Liberals may be more popular than they

Men try to lure young boy into black Escalade editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Parents are asking the public to be on the lookout for two men who attempted to lure a young boy into their vehicle Sunday afternoon near Mott Crescent and Sangster Place. Three kids – 12, 11 and six – were playing in a laneway behind their home at McBride Boulevard and Mott Crescent, when they were approached by two men in a black SUV. “The vehicle came down the back lane towards them, and the boys said the two men in the vehicle looked right at them and then turned the corner and started to go up the hill towards 10th Avenue and then they stopped and backed down

the lane,” said Karen Peterson, mother of the six-year-old. According to Peterson, the men then proceeded to speak with the six-year-old, offering him a new bike for free, but he would have to go with them to get it. “The boys said ‘no, we don’t want your bike,’ and they came right to our door right away and told us what happened,” she said. The vehicle was determined to be a black, fourdoor Cadillac Escalade. The kids described the driver as “maybe Mexican looking” with black hair and sunglasses, while the passenger was described as a bald Asian man. Both appeared to be in their 20s, according to the kids.

Conned in online scam New Westminster police are reminding the public to be vigilant when it comes to protecting personal banking information, after a local woman lost $1,300 in an online scam. According to a press release, an unamed resident filled out an online contract with an online bank called Citi Plan. In order to receive a loan for $5,000, she was asked to provide her name, signature, contact information and banking details, including her routing number, type of account and bank account number. “The resident believed she was applying for a loan of $5,000 and was required to send funds as collateral to obtain the loan through ‘Citi Plan,’” stated the release. After she was advised her credit score wasn’t high enough to “obtain the funds outright,” she then sent two transactions via Western Union to the online bank. According to police, when asked to send a third transaction the resident became suspicious and contacted police who were unable to locate the company. he website and phone number have since been shut down. – By Cayley Dobie, staff reporter Shopping for Competitive Insurance Rates?

◗ EDUCATION

District will post new finance job BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district’s recent announcement that longtime assistant superintendent Al Balanuik was officially appointed secretary-treasurer left some wondering how a district that had been calling for more help in the finance department would make do with less. But board of education chair Michael Ewen said it wouldn’t have to. He told The Record last week the district plans to post for a director of finance position. “The plan has always been to bring in a director of finance,” Ewen said. “They will post (the position) in about a week.” The title won’t be assistant secretary-treasurer, Ewen said. “I’m not convinced a district of our size, (that) we should have an assistant superintendent, or an assistant secretary-treasurer,” he said. “The secretary-treasurer has broad range of responsibilities.” Balanuik has been the district’s acting secretary-treasurer since Brian Sommerfeldt left in March and received $195,320 in severance from the district. Sommerfeldt worked in New Westminster for just four years. Last fall, when the district’s financial situation was revealed – it had a $2.8 million deficit that only came out after the board of education passed what it thought was a balanced budget – there was a great deal of talk about the lack of support in the secretary-treasurer’s office, given that there wasn’t an assistant. Consultant Joan Axford, who was brought in to review the books, also spoke about the need for an assistant secretary-treasurer. Balanuik’s appointment, which makes him both secretary-treasurer and assistant superintendent, means he’ll be wearing two hats, and the district is down a senior administrator. Balanuik has 32 years of experience in the public school system. He has a PhD in education and master’s degree in business administration.

Crowd pleaser: Adrian Dix attracted a crowd of supporters when he dropped by NDP candidate Judy Darcy’s campaign ofﬁce on Saturday for a barbecue.

Dix drops by for a barbecue

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

NDP leader Adrian Dix attracted quite a crowd during his recent appearance in the Royal City. Dix dropped by NDP candidate Judy Darcy’s campaign office on Saturday for a barbecue and a chat with volunteers. “The energy in the room is incredible,” Darcy said in a media release. “We sent out a notice that Adrian was coming to town less than 24 hours ago and over 120 people turned out to greet him at my campaign office.” Darcy was thrilled that Dix was able to join her in thanking volunteers for their “incredible work” in her “people-powered” campaign.

Unauthorized website disappears

Now you see it, now you don’t. Soon after independent candidate James Crosty complained to Elections B.C. about a website urging people not to support him in the election, the page disappeared from the Internet. Below the smiling photos of former premiers Bill Vander Zalm and Gordon Campbell, and current premier Christy Clark, the caption read: Please, on May 14th, make your vote count. Another friendly face or real change? Say no to James Crosty. Elections B.C. officials told Crosty the website constituted unauthorized election advertising and initiated action to determine the identity of the sponsor and require transmission of the website cease until the sponsor is registered and the website bears the authorization statement. ◗Briefs Page 12

Briefs: Liberal candidate won’t sing for his supper any time soon ◗ continued from page 11

Hector Bremner may have the gift of the gab, but he didn’t inherit his father’s musical skills. Bremner recently met a man on the campaign trail who remembered his father, Hector Bremner Sr. from his days as a singer in Winnipeg. The elder Bremner’s singing credits included hosting the CBC series Hymn Sing in the 1960s. “I can’t sing for the life of me – but I can talk,” the younger Bremner laughed.

Brave new world

Campaigning has changed dramatically since Paul Forseth’s early forays

into elections. When Forseth first campaigned as a Reform Party of Canada candidate back in 1993, offices relied on phones and fax machines. It’s a different world on the campaign front nowadays. “Parties have got websites. Candidates have to have websites, then they have to be interactive. Now you’ve got to have a Facebook account, a Twitter account. Your sites have to be interactive. You have to appear to be out there, communicating. The public are less likely to want to answer the door because they are scared or the doors are locked,” he said. “Everyone screens their calls when they

answer. Fewer and fewer people have landlines.”

Darcy’s past

NDP candidate Judy Darcy’s views on the environment were shaped by her early years in Sarnia, Ontario. After immigrating to Canada from Denmark as a child, Darcy grew up in the town of Sarnia, which is similar in size to New Westminster and located on Lake Huron. The area, home to many oil refineries, was known as Chemical Valley. “I did a radio show the summer after Grade 13. It was CHOK radio: ‘This is the OK holiday show

bringing you the sights and sounds of Lambton County – five miles of tanks, toques and spheres, a fairyland of lights by night or day – Canada’s Chemical Valley. That was the opening,” Darcy recalls. “When I remember it now, I think oh my God, what a different world we lived in. When the wind blew from the south, from the refineries, everybody choked.” Although the refineries provided jobs, Darcy said they also had a negative impact on people’s health and the environment. “I have seen first hand both the importance of having good jobs in a community that support families, but also the kind of degra-

dation to people’s health and the environment that this can do unless you have very strict environmental standards,” she said. Darcysaidtheexperience of growing up in Chemical Valley has influenced her concerns about the environment on a broader level, including concerns about expanding pipelines. “If you weren’t an environmentalist before you lived in B.C., you’d become one because it’s like a sacred trust that we have here.”

Civil campaign

Independent candidate James Crosty is enjoying the atmosphere surround-

ing the 2013 provincial election in New Westminster. Although this is Crosty’s first campaign on the provincial front, he ran as a mayoral candidate in the 2011 civic election. “It’s very different than the civic election. The tenor of the campaign is a lot more civil,” he said. “I am able to present actual issues, and solutions and concepts. In the civic election, it was a little messier and a little meaner. I think it’s much more respectful.”

Gifts for Mom… give it a little thought When asked what the worst Mother’s Day gift they’ve ever received was, 14 per cent of mothers say that receiving no gift at all was the worst, while another two per cent say forgetting altogether that it was Mother’s Day was the worst. While a majority (51 per cent) of mothers say that they’ve never received a bad gift and they’ve liked everything they’ve ever received for Mother’s Day, some mothers have received a few

admittedly terrible gifts. From among the 527 mothers who completed the survey, some of the worst gifts include: breakfast in bed with undercooked eggs and terrible coffee, a chocolate bar and a magazine from the corner store, a vacuum cleaner attachment, gardening tools, an electric broom, a toaster, an old sewing machine, fast food delivery (fried chicken), a clock with the price tag

Mother’s Day

The history of Mother’s Day

In ancient Greece individuals honored Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering population was celebrated in earnest. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian homemaker who, beginning in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing procedures through women’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daughter, Ann Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today. Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honor their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until after they died that these children recognized what they had lost in their

parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honor mothers. In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “honor mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and politicians to declare a Mother’s Day holiday.

How did it all start? With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honoring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a celebration of mothers was instituted.

Flash mob of yarn-bombed chairs hits city AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

oyal City Gogos are launching an art show that will travel Western Canada and raise money for African grandmothers. Flash mobs of yarnbombed chairs have appeared in public spaces in New Westminster in recent weeks, as a kickoff event for a juried art exhibit. “The chairs seem to travel in groups,” said Delora Harper, co-chair of the Royal City Gogos. “They are quite amazing.” The Gogos will hold the art exhibit at River Market at Westminster Quay. The community is invited to view these pieces, which have been created by artists from New Westminster to London, England. “The exhibition is 40 juried pieces from various people,” Harper said. “We have a few local artists.” The jury whittled down the 83 submissions to 40 pieces that will travel as part of the show, Celebrating African

Grandmothers: Heroes of the Continent. “There was a lot of fine work that came in,” Harper said. “We have sculptures, textile works and paintings. It’s quite a varied show.” The artists have donated their creations to the Gogos, whose members are raising funds for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The foundation supports community projects aimed at turning the tide of AIDS in Africa. “We are doing the art show to bring attention to the plight of grandmothers in Africa,” Harper said. “Because there is no middle generation, the grandmothers are the leaders in the community and the primary caregivers.” According to the campaign, more than 14 million children in subSaharan Africa have been orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. Many of these children are in the care of their grandmothers, who are elderly and have few resources to care for them. The foundation works with community-based projects in 15 sub-Saharan countries. To date, Canadian grandmothers have raised more than $16 million in support of

Sweet music for Mother’s Day Whatever you’re doing for mom on Mother’s Day, you can make her day complete by treating her to the special Mother’s Day concert by the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra at Massey Theatre. Orchestra music director and conductor Jin “Jack” Zhang offers a program of delightful music mom will love, said local arts promoter, Tony Antonias, in a press release. From the Mendelssohn repertoire, Maestro Zhang has chosen the overture Fingal’s Cave – also known as The Hebrides – a delightful work that resulted from Mendelssohn’s visit. Also at Sunday’s Mother’s Day concert, Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto, featuring trumpet soloist Edward Lewis, professor emeritus, University of Regina. Lewis has performed in most major cities in Canada and the U.S., from Vancouver’s Canada Place to Boston Symphony Hall. “Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto is an exciting work,” according to Antonias. It was written in 1796, and it has become a favourite vehicle for trumpet virtuosos, who get plenty of opportunity to show off during the first movement’s thrilling cadenza. The program will conclude with Tchaikovsky’s Suite Number 1, the exquisite musical portrayal of Russian life in the late 19th century. “What could be more pleasurable on a Sunday afternoon, especially on a Mother’s Day, than a concert of beautiful music performed by the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra,” Antonias said. This concert is sponsored by Westminster Savings and takes place on Sunday, May 12, at 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre. Admission is by donation at the door.

African grandmothers and the children in their care. After its launch in New Westminster, the art exhibition will travel to 14 locations in Western Canada from Campbell River to Brandon, Man. It will return to the city for International Women’s Day on March 7, 2014 for a gala auction. The artwork will be on display from Thursday, May 9 to Sunday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the upper level of River Market, 810 Quayside Dr.

Yard sale returns Bargain hunters will be

back in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood this weekend hunting for treasures. The popular Queen’s Park yard sale returns to the Royal City on Saturday, May 11, when homeowners throughout the neighbourhood will be selling items and raising funds for Canuck Place. The 18th annual sale takes place in the neighbourhood from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. RE/Max Advantage real estate agent Frank Wright lived in the neighbourhood and started the event 18 years ago as a way of helping out Canuck Place. When he moved out of the city three years ago,

Realtor Dave Vallee took over the event. “There are usually approximately 50 homes that officially register for the garage sale, but you will see more than that set up – you will also see people setting up lemonade stand and hotdog stands, etc.,” said an email from Team Dave Vallee. “The neighbourhood is swarming with hundreds of people, all day.” For more information or to make a donation to Canuck Place, contact Vallee at www. TeamDaveVallee.com. The goal is to raise $2,000 for Canuck Place.

Crime prevention

New Westminster’s top cop is making an appearance at a local residents’ association meeting. The Glenbrook North Residents Association’s May 15 meeting will feature a one-hour discussion led by Chief Const. Dave Jones and Shelley Cole, the police department’s coordinator of crime prevention services. Residents are invited to attend the meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, May 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library at 716 Sixth Ave.

New chapter for Black Bond Books MOVERS & SHAKERS NIKI HOPE

lack Bond Books is expanding this month. The bookstore is moving to a larger location near the food court in Royal City Centre, which will include an expanded

selection of books. Longtime manager Lorraine Williams is looking forward to the move. After more than 25 years, she still loves the business and her customers, according to a press release. “Having someone like Lorraine to find just the right book has been a key part of the success Black Bond has enjoyed in New West,” Black Bond Books president Cathy Jesson said in the release. “We look forward to many more years of being the

neighborhood bookstore in New Westminster.” The B.C.-owned company has had a presence in New Westminster since the 1980s, with the city home to the third location of the growing family of bookstores. Black Bond is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The company has grown to 11 B.C. locations, including the Book Warehouse on Broadway in Vancouver. Part of the celebration is the relocation and

expansion of its New Westminster store, according to the release.

Tire recycling

Tired of those old tires hanging around? There’s a convenient way to get rid of them. Tire Stewardship B.C. and OK Tire are teaming up for three tire round-ups in Metro Vancouver, and one will be held close to home in New Westminster on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at OK Tire at 325A 12th St.

“This is the first time we’ve ever hosted tire round-ups in Vancouver, Burnaby and New West. The demand for environmentally friendly disposal options is increasing in cities, and the response to these events has been incredible,” Mike Hennessy, Tire Stewardship B.C. executive director, said in a media release. “At each location on May 11, visitors can drop off their old car tires so they don’t end up in landfills.”

A step ahead: Burnaby Selects Caleb Ogden, in red, goes for a run in a 3-0 victory over Central City Breakers in the under-16 boys’ Coastal Cup soccer ﬁnal at Minoru Oval on Saturday.

Selects toast two more cups BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Burnaby Selects kicked off the club’s 10th anniversary season with two more Coastal A Cup triumphs. The regular-season under-16 champion Selects opened the twoday B.C. Soccer coastal region championships with a 3-0 victory over the league runner-up Central City Breakers Pegasus in the boys’ A cup final at Minoru Oval in Richmond on Saturday. The Metro division club then backed that up with a program-best sixth A Cup in nine separate appearances since the Selects organized in 2002. Burnaby’s u-18 Selects Royals outlasted Richmond United 3-2 in the final weekend match at the Coastal A finals in Richmond. The u-16 Burnaby side, which had beaten the Surrey side twice before in league play, were tentative at first against the Breakers’ physical marking. But the Selects finally got into a rhythm midway through the first half when Joel Padmore, Edris Najm and Kuroush Faritous showed some of their skill, teaming up for a dangerous chance on goal. Minutes later, Gurtej Hehar and Sean Lam, with a cross in front, gave Najm another strike on net. From then on, it appeared the momentum had clearly shifted in Burnaby’s favour. The Selects were finally reward-

In February, Digby was also drafted in the first round, sixth overall, by the Burnaby Lakers in the Western Lacrosse Association junior entry draft.

Popular renovation seminar offers homeowners Free Advice From Industry Experts

Homeowners considering renovations can obtain creative ideas from the internet, television, newspapers and magazines, but careful planning is needed to de-mystify the renovation process, said Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA). To help homeowners make informed decisions, the GVHBA Renovation Council – in partnership with FortisBC – is presenting its popular Ask a Pro Renovation Seminar + Expo on Thursday, May 16 at the Croatian Cultural Centre, 3250 Commercial Dr., Vancouver. The event is also sponsored by the Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation. The expo will be open from 5:30 p.m. from 7:30 p.m., followed by the seminar, which will be held from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. More than 300 registered last year. Homeowners will be guided through the various stages of the renovation process, including design and planning, legal and contracts, selecting a renovator, municipal permits and inspections, and living through a renovation. Presenters include prominent award-wining renovators, a construction

Renovation by Mountainside Renovations

lawyer, a ﬁnance expert, and a municipal building oﬃcial.

The exhibition area features more than 30 RenoMark renovators and suppliers of homeimprovement products and services allowing homeowners plenty of opportunities to discuss their renovation plans with the experts before the seminar program starts. De Wit said $7.6 billion will be spent on home renovation and improvement in B.C. this year, of which $3.8 billion will be spent in Metro Vancouver alone, so it is crucial that homeowners do their homework before they sign a contract with a qualified renovation contractor. Seminar attendees will learn about RenoMark, an industry-led national program designed to provide greater confidence to homeowners when hiring renovation contractors. To be accepted into the program, contractors are obliged to abide by a 10-condition code of conduct. “Home renovation continues to be popular and there is no shortage of fly-by-night

operators taking advantage of trusting homeowners. Dealing in the cash-only underground economy to avoid tax, rather than working with a professional renovator, exposes homeowners to liability issues and close scrutiny from municipal bylaw oﬃcials, provincial safety authorities and others,” said de Wit. Although admission to the seminar and

exhibit area is free, pre-registration is required. Register online at www.gvhba.org or via email at signmeup@gvhba.org, or call 778-565-4288. Public transit is nearby and there is ample onsite parking. Attendees are asked to contribute a food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.

It shouldn’t be. As long as you disclose to the buyer that you built it without a permit and the buyer acknowledges this disclosure you should be okay. However, once those improvements include plumbing and electrical it can get a little tricky, but the same rule applies... disclose, disclose, disclose. If the buyer is comfortable you are good to go. This completely depends on the type of buyer of course. If the buyer is an engineer he will want to see the schematic drawings, an electrician may just want to know it’s safe, a lawyer may want assurance that he won’t have to remove it, a plumber may care less. Different buyers, different perspectives. It’s a crapshoot who you end up dealing with. As long as you have disclosed that a permit was not obtained, you won’t have any headaches after completion. The property disclosure statement is the proper place to do this.

Q. “Derrick, my brother-in-law is

a realtor, but not in New Westminster. I’m feeling pressure to use him to sell our home. My gut tells me that’s a mistake. Am I right?

That’s a tough spot to be in. I know you brother-in-law would sincerely want you to get every dollar for your home. He probably also values your relationship more than your business. There’s a great solution. Choose an agent that specializes in your area and then make a request of that agent to pay a courtesy referral to your brother-in-law. He will be happy too. I have done this many times. You would be surprised at the positive response I have received from the relative thanking me for getting them out a tricky business relationship with family and potential awkward dinners for years to come. If you’re lucky you might even be able to squeeze a dinner out of him for your kind referral.

VALUE OF BRAND NAME PRODUCTS

Tod the experience of buying a new Today, hhome is very diﬀerent than in the past. This is the era of customization.

hether you are buying your first home or finally having your “dream” home built, new home builders provide an incredible range of options and upgrades. The end result is a brand new home that is truly your home. In order to provide consumers with the best possible new home options, many professional new home builders work closely with leading national manufacturers. The manufacturers provide the builders with complete product packages, including technical support and training for workers, to ensure the most suitable products are used and installation is done correctly. Your new home builder can help you evaluate various product options and recommend those which offer you solid value in terms of quality, performance, warranty and after sales service. First, choose products and materials that

suit your lifestyle. Your family is unique and so are your new home needs. Whether you have young children, run a home based business or are an active senior, there are product and material choices designed for the way you live. For instance, extra durable floor finishes make sense for families with young children, while lever handles on doors and bathroom fixtures make life easier for anyone with mobility impairment or arthritic hands. Second, choose products and materials that offer real value. The lowest price rarely means the best value. Make sure that every product and material you choose is backed by a reputable manufacturer that provides a solid warranty and after sales service. There is nothing more frustrating than an expensive fixture or appliance that can’t be repaired because spare parts are not available. When you choose brand name products

for your home, you beneﬁt from the ongoing research and development investments that leading manufacturers make in developing and improving their products. As well, brand name products meet Canadian standards and can handle our demanding

climate. Perhaps of greatest importance, brand name manufacturers provide home buyers with warranty protection and a service network you can count on.

Supplied courtesy:

Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association

Quality brand name products reduce the risk of the unexpected, like expensive repair or replacement bills. And choosing brand name products can add to the value of your home. So ﬁnd out about your brand name product and material options. Your builder will help you make the right choices.
