Queen’s Park draft plans unveiled Feedback sought on long-term proposals Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Signi¿cant changes, including a second sheet of ice, are being proposed for Queen’s Park in a draft master plan the city has developed for its iconic recreational area. The city presented its ideas to an open house attended by about 300 people in the arena lobby last Wednesday. It’s a long-range plan the city

consultants say will take about 20 years to implement, but project coordinator Jay Young ¿gures will actually take more like 40 to 50 years. Young said about 150 feedback surveys were ¿lled out Wednesday, but the city will take feedback online and mail up until July 13. The results will be discussed by the city’s parks and recreation committee, chaired by Coun. Jonathan Coté, at its next meeting in September. “There’s a lot of interesting ideas. Some, I think, will be accepted quite broadly, and some will be quite

controversial, and we need to have these community discussions to see exactly what the community wants to see,” said Coté. Along with adding a regulationsized rink, the plan calls for restoring the original historic facade and adding a new lobby to the arena. Other suggestions include: taking down the baseball stadium grandstand and replacing it with smaller-scale seating; a “celebration plaza” across from the arena; relocating the rose garden closer to Centennial Lodge; and removing the bandshell from

the picnic area and creating an amphitheatre on the other side of the road that cuts through the park. The plan also includes suggestions for upgrading parking and circulation throughout the park including a transit stop between the arena and stadium. Young said the second sheet of ice wasn’t even on the city’s radar when it started the process, but the feedback the city received in two earlier sessions indicated an appetite for it.

Parents from John Robson elementary expected more than what they got at an open house on the new elementary school to be built at the former St. Mary’s Hospital site. Construction on the $13.4 million building that will house 550 students from kindergarten to Grade 5 is expected to begin this fall with a scheduled opening in early 2014. When it’s done, John Robson’s students will move down Royal Avenue into the new school, so its parent advisory council had more than a passing interest in seeing what the school district had in mind. But when they arrived at city hall last Wednesday they found out little they didn’t already know. “It was somewhat of a surprise. We thought there would be more interaction, discussion,” said Robson PAC chair Serena Trachta. “It was very basic information. We expected more at this presentation because the process has moved forward.” Last week, the district said three companies had been invited to produce design-build concepts for the projects.

Safety issues a key concern for parents ୅ continued

from FRONT PAGE

Trachta said the questions the district asked for feedback on at the open house were vague. “They didn’t take into consideration any ranking or prioritization. It was very rudimentary,” she said. She said the parents would like to know what criteria the design companies are being given. “We’d like to know how is their latitude limited and what guidelines are they being given ... so that we can see if there’s an area where we as parents can contribute,” said Trachta. “At this point we ¿nd it hard to contribute in a constructive way because we’re shooting in the dark, we don’t even know what they’ve been asked to do.” Trachta believes the parents could be a big help in the process. “We could be a bene¿cial partner or advocate for different portions of the school that we are very passionate about, and we could leverage resources with the district to make it the best school possible.” Trachta said the majority of parents support a new school because Robson needs to be replaced. But there’s also a great deal of concern about the distance the children will have to travel to the new school and the safety issues surrounding having to cross Royal. She said in a recent PAC survey, which got a response rate of 30 per cent, 66 per cent of parents said they walk their children to Robson while 34 per cent drive. Only about 46 per cent would continue to walk them to the new site while 38 per cent say they would drive leaving a large percentage still undetermined because of the safety concerns. The design proposals, however, do not deal with safety, and Trachta said it’s confusing trying to ¿gure out who is responsible for addressing that. In some places it’s the school district, others it’s the city or TransLink because Royal Avenue is a regional truck route. The companies selected to develop concepts are Bouygues Building Canada of Vancouver, DGS Construction of Surrey and Yellowridge Design Build from Port Moody. After the ‘St. Mary’s’ school is completed, work will begin on a $17.6 million west side middle school where John Robson now sits. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Moving the rose garden makes sense: Young ୅ continued

from FRONT PAGE

Coté said with the city’s population growing another surface will be needed to meet the demand, and putting it beside the current arena makes sense because it is more ef¿cient to combine the facilities. In addition, the arena is still sound structurally. One element of the plan Coté believes will create a lot of discussion is the baseball stadium. He said there are some good reasons to remove the stands, but there are a lot of community events that use it. The Celebration Plaza that would replace the asphalt tennis courts and works yard area is another suggestion that may be fought over. Coté said the baseball community is eyeing it for winterized batting cages and a practice facility. Before this process began, Mayor Wayne Wright suggested a private building that would lease to recreational-oriented organizations and businesses would create some revenue for the city.

Coté says that area’s current use is not ideal but has potential for much more with a plaza. “Queen’s Park is one of the most important parks in the city, but when you enter from Third Avenue all is you see a vast, unattractive parking lot, I think there’s a huge opportunity to maintain parking, but make it a much more park-like setting,” said Coté. Young said moving the rose garden, which frequently is a spot for weddings, to between the tree nursery and Centennial Lodge would make it a natural because of all the wedding receptions at the lodge as well as the surrounding Àora. “The backdrop in the current garden is a parking lot. This would be a little more conducive for what we want it for,” said Young. Coté said the present location of the bandshell frequently conÀicts with the picnic area and playground activity. “In some cases have to turn down some people to perform because a family reunion has been booked into the picnic area.” Creating an amphitheatre on

the slope leading down to the Sixth and McBride entrance would eliminate the clash of activity. Coté said, “nothing is set in stone at this point.” The draft plan is available at the city’s parks and recreation site, www.newwestpcr.ca, where there is access to an online survey form and an email address to send comments to until July 13.

Queen’s Park plan highlights:

Feature changes being proposed to Queen’s Park in the draft master plan include: • A second ice sheet for Queen’s Park Arena which would be regulation sized, a restoration of the historic facade and a new lobby • Relocating the rose garden to beside the tree nursery • Possible spectator seating for the new arti¿cial turf east ¿eld • Elimination of the asphalt tennis courts across from the arena to make way for a celebration plaza for community events • Tear down of the stadium and replace it with a smallscale grandstand, with historical cues, that better suits the use of the baseball ¿eld. • Remove the bandshell from the picnic area, build a natural amphitheatre into the slope on the other Memorable.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Spoiling the future

LAST WEEK:

You’ve probably seen at least one of them — the bumper sticker on a huge trailer or RV that reads, “I’m spending my grandchildren’s inheritance!” It’s supposed to be amusing, but it’s not. Unfortunately, it’s true — not just of the person sporting the sticker, but also for most of the rest of us. We’re burning their oil, polluting their water, spending their money and generally wrecking their planet—and they won’t thank us for it. Back in 1992, the International Institute for Sustainable Development made a point of calling for governments to look down the road. “We cannot simply think of our survival; each new generation is responsible to ensure the survival of the seventh generation. The prophecy given to us, tells us that what we do today will affect the seventh generation and because of this we must bear in mind our responsibility to them today and always.” The idea of looking seven generations down the road is older than that, a key component of many First Nations spiritual practice and planning. It’s an idea we should all be thinking about particularly hard these days as the climate continues to change and our leaders and the power structures that support them seem unable and unwilling to do anything about it. In fact, our current Canadian government is even rolling back the insuf¿cient measures in place, in a race to develop and export as much of Canada’s rich resource heritage as quickly as possible. There’s a good reason for that, of course. Our corporate culture demands the maximization of pro¿t and it demands it now. Future generations—those little tykes in short pants on the tricycles in your own backyard — they don’t count for pretty much anything. We should think about why that is and what we can do about it. We’re running out of time to make the changes they need. —Black Press

Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries VICTORIA – BC Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the Àeet’s bottom line. It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its ¿nancial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the ¿scal year that ended March 31, vehicle traf¿c was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95.

Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have ¿nal ¿gures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traf¿c was “marginal.” It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traf¿c from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: student traf¿c on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled ¿eld trips as part of their

lengthy work-to-rule campaign. The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional ¿ts of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers. Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard

questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick ¿xes. FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the Àeet signi¿cant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years. <I>Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

COMMENT

Wednesday, July 4, 2012 NewsLeader A7

Let’s not turn this city into a ghost town It’s time to take a long hard look at reality for the replacement of the Pattullo Bridge. I read that New Westminster City Council does not want the bridge replaced. They do not reÀect the majority of residents and certainly not the business owners. The online survey had a mere 210 respondents, the majority of which do not even use the bridge. I hope council is not basing its opinion on a survey that reÀects a miniscule fraction of the total population. New Westminster lies at the geographic centre of the Lower Mainland, which is why many businesses locate here. The population here cannot support all the businesses. For businesses to thrive they need customers from other municipalities. Simply put, if you make it dif¿cult to do business in New West the businesses will move away. If businesses disappear, residential taxes will increase. Any thriving community needs businesses to survive. There are dozens of wedding shops along Columbia Street. Are there that many brides and grooms in New Westminster to support all of the shops? I think not. They need outside customers. Customers from Surrey. How do the Surrey customers get there? The bridge of course. What happens with the bridge gone? No more customers. No more wedding shops. Hundreds of businesses in New Westminster rely on customers to cross bridges. I understand the justi¿ed concerns of residents about increased traf¿c on residential streets. However, we can learn from what Langley has done with the bypass, what Vancouver has done with Paci¿c Boulevard, what Surrey is planning to do with the construction of its perimeter road. All these solutions direct heavy traf¿c along major routes and keep the traf¿c off smaller roads. Unfortunately, previous city councils have made monumental blunders with traf¿c control. These decisions have been more politically motivated than for the good of the residents. Obvious mistakes are: • The narrowing of 12th Street and installation of crossing bulges—more businesses have closed along 12th in the last three

years since the roadwork than in the previous 20. • The position of the SkyTrain guideway along Stewardson—if Stewardson had been six lanes there would be no need for traf¿c to ¿lter through residential streets • By far the worst interchange in all of the Lower Mainland— the Queensborough Bridge/Sixth Avenue/20th Street nightmare. This interchange is a traf¿c planners’ lesson in stupidity. It’s time to look to the far future, not the three-year election future. Some tough decisions have to be made, perhaps even unpopular ones. It’s idealistic to think that people will start to walk more, take public transport more, bike more, but the reality is that cars are becoming less expensive, more ef¿cient, cleaner and safer. It is human nature to move in our independent space—the automobile—and that will never change. The best solution for the crossing is to put it at the foot of 20th Street, over to the eastern tip of Queensborough. It would serve a number of purposes. It would eliminate the worst interchange in the Lower Mainland—access to Queensborough would be an off ramp. Bridge-goers from south Burnaby would not have to travel through New Westminster. Coquitlam bridge-goers would use the new Port Mann bridge. And construction would have the least impact. Let’s really think about what we are going to do. Let’s capitalize on where we are, not turn this wonderful city into a ghost town. Michael Wierzbicki New Westminster

DISAPPOINTED IN STAFF, CITY COUNCIL ON EFRY DECISION I’d like to express how disappointed lower Sapperton residents feel by city staff and council. Only Coun. Betty McIntosh had the presence of mind to separate the issue of EFry “doing good work” from the issue at hand: changing the OCP for two lots and thereby setting a precedent for other developers to start buying up houses and set in motion an unstoppable wave of uninvited re-development

of a perfectly viable family neighbourhood. The mayor did not have the guts to even show up for this most contentious issue that has been playing out since November of 2010. Even if he did attend his grandson’s graduation, I’m pretty sure it did not keep him occupied from 6 p.m. to well past 1 a.m. the next morning. Coun. Lorrie Williams did not have the guts to support our neighbourhood or stand up against it. At the last possible second, after never excusing herself from anything related to this OCP in the past, she decided not to vote. These people are voted in to represent us and they failed miserably. There were many compromises that could have kept the OCP intact and provided for Elizabeth Fry Society to expand. There are many properties available nearby that are properly zoned. The city could purchase the 46-year-old parking lot at 275 Sherbrooke St. and ¿nally legitimize it. They could make a land swap or grant to EFry for compensation. The house at 273 Sherbrooke could be renovated into a four-plex and provide real non-market housing to women and children. The homes could have space and a yard, ¿t into the neighbourhood and allow the families to mix instead of being institutionalized in a building that has no street entrances. Equally distressing is the lack of grace shown by EFry. They got an idea in their head and refused to let go no matter how many great alternatives were brought forward. The way EFry brought in women from Surrey and Abbotsford and other areas to talk about the hardship in their lives (and I am in no way diminishing the value of their experience and the help received by EFry) was sickening—they were used before and they are still being used. By EFry. I admire and thank my friends and neighbours who put so much time into keeping our community intact. We can all hold our heads high knowing that we did the right thing—something that can’t be said for city staff, and most of council. Catherine Cartwright Lower Sapperton

A tugboat capsized and sunk in the Fraser River near the Pattullo Bridge on Thursday just before 9 a.m., and the high speed of the rising river likely played a factor, said a Coast Guard spokesman. Canadian Coast Guard maritime coordinator Jeff Olsson said two tugs were working with a barge when one of the boats overturned and sank. It’s believed the tug was chasing after the barge as it got away from a dock on the Surrey side of the Fraser. The tug’s captain was thrown into the Fraser River, but the other tug managed to come to his rescue. He was taken ashore and then whisked off to Royal Columbian Hospital with undetermined injuries. Another worker was on the barge, which bumped into the 1904 CN Rail train bridge just upriver from the Pattullo. Olsson said the structure was not damaged. The worker remained on the barge as the second tug guided it to safety. The worker was then taken off the barge by Coast Guard hovercraft, which happened to be working just down river at Annacis Island and responded to the mayday call along with many other marine vessels in the area.

Triple the Selection. Triple the Value.

Olsson said the tugboat was not a very big vessel, about eight metres. Some minor debris was later found in the river including a raft that had been attached to it, seen near the Alex Fraser Bridge. Olsson said there will have to be an environmental response to the incident. Transport Canada of¿cials were at the site investigating the incident Friday. The Fraser’s levels are very high because a large winter snowpack is melting in northern British Columbia. The high volume of water likely played a role in the capsizing, said Olsson. “It’s pretty safe to say the rate of current, estimated ¿ve knots—and that’s fairly fast—it’s pretty hard to say it wasn’t a factor. It de¿nitely didn’t help,” said Olsson. New Westminster police said the department, New West Fire and Rescue, Surrey RCMP, the Coast Guard Hovercraft and a number of private vessels already on the river responded. The strong currents narrow the path vessels have to navigate through the rail bridge, the Pattullo and SkyTrain bridge pylons, said Paul Johansen, who runs tours on the Edgewater Fortune from a New Westminster dock just down river from the Pattullo.

“It’s like whitewater rafting,” said Johansen. “The back eddies, it’s just whirly-twirly.” Federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Keith Ash¿eld issued a release Thursday praising the work of the search and rescue network. He pointed out the Coast Guard hovercraft from Sea Island in Richmond, which is where Vancouver airport sits, was dispatched within minutes. Ash¿eld and the Conservative government have recently come under ¿re for plans to close the Vancouver rescue station stating the hovercraft will be able to provide service. The release, said Fin Donnelly, NDP ¿sheries critic and New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody MP, was Ash¿eld trying to justify a bad decision. “It is a desperate attempt,” said Donnelly. “If this was in False Creek, and the hovercraft had to get around into False Creek, it wouldn’t have been as quick and that’s what the Kitsilano station provides, a strategic location in minutes.” Donnelly also pointed out the Coast Guard was not only fortunate the hovercraft was nearby, but also wasn’t in disrepair and there were trained of¿cers on board to take action.

Metro Vancouver is launching an informal 90-day process to identify potential sites and operators of a new waste-toenergy (WTE) plant to consume more of the region’s garbage. But some directors fear it’s a recipe for panic in their cities if prospective sites are named this fall because Metro won’t yet know what technology – incineration or some alternate method – will be used. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said it’s “crazy” for Metro to identify locations without being able to tell fearful neighbours what might actually be built there, adding some WTE systems may be much less contentious than others. “That is the best possible way to stir up a community in ignorance and fear and they have every right to that,” Hunt told the Metro board. “This process is doomed to failure.” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves Burnaby’s incinerator burns much of the garbage from Burnaby and New also objected, saying the process Westminster homes.

A day to appreciate some wheeled wonders The 13th annual Royal City Show n Shine is bigger, better, fresher and Àush with a title sponsor. For the ¿rst time the classic car party on Columbia Street will be known as the Key West Ford Royal City Show ‘n’ Shine. The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association’s 12th annual event almost didn’t come off, but it proved to have a life of its own. “Last year was a challenging year,” said BIA executive director Kendra Johnston. “This event has become bigger than the BIA and any organization. Everyone loves this event. We wanted to make sure it continues.” Every July, Columbia Street is packed with tens of thousands of car buffs, casual and hard core, who come to admire the vintage vehicles.

The traditional car show is the part the BIA didn’t want to change because it’s well run and popular. What the organization did change was the extra elements such as food, entertainment and engaging Downtown businesses with the public out on the street. The new name that jumps out to many is one of the food vendors, Japadog, which has a huge reputation for delivering ¿ne food to the streets of downtown Vancouver. Johnston said it was a challenge getting them to come, but the owners happen to be real car buffs and so they said, “Why not.” Other new food vendors are Chronic Tacos and Re-Up BBQ. Johnston said in the past the event has had presenting sponsors, but this was the ¿rst time it had gone for a name change.

NEWSLEADER FILE

For the Àrst time the Show and Shine has a title sponsor in Key West Ford. The company says it seemed a good Àt, considering the car-loving crowd that comes out to Columbia Street each year.

“We looked at how other events and organizations were structuring their partnership agreements with

sponsors, what would be of real value, what we could do to bring in a big ¿sh, to have multi-year partnership. That

was the one thing of value for big ¿sh,” said Johnston. “Key West Ford seemed like a natural ¿t. They were

the ¿rst people we went after. They’re very community minded, they sponsored the Hyack parade which was a ¿rst for them. It was such a natural ¿t that it happened pretty quickly once we approached them.” Key West Ford general manager and partner Adam Isfeld said they are making a concerted effort to be more involved in the community. “We see the value with our business, and what’s going on in the city of New West, and we want to step up our role in the community,” said Isfeld. “It’s a great event that’s been running for a long time, and it draws a lot of people into the community. Of course, with it being an event involving vehicles we wanted to get involved with it on a large scale.” Please see NEXT PAGE

He said Downtown New Westminster has become a more dynamic place in the last four or ¿ve years. “The community has a positive, vibrant outlook for the future. We identify with that, so for us, we see so much work going into the community on a lot of different levels it encourages us to step up and be involved on a higher level with the community.”

Key West will have its own block, between Begbie and Eighth streets, during the Show ‘n’ Shine. They’ll be showing off Ford’s new Roush line, a high performance brand of the classic Mustang. They’ll also have Vancouver Canucks legendary goaltender Kirk McLean, who led the team to the Stanley Cup ¿nal in 1994, signing autographs. McLean signed on with Key West Ford a few weeks ago.

“The one thing about Kirk is he is very involved in the Metro Vancouver community, so he’s going to be working with us on a whole bunch of different events,” Isfeld said. “We want to try and lend as much assistance to step out and become a business leader and encourage other businesses to become involved in the community. I think New Westminster is a great story if you look at where it’s going.”

A participant in this year’s Show & Shine is North Burnaby’s Steve Maion, owner of a local auto repair shop. He is also the proud owner of a 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport. Steve’s loved cars since he was a child, and father bought the Gran Torino new in 1972 and although he unfortunately passed away last year, he was able to see the car restored by Steve in time for last year’s car show. Steve’s mom, who passed away in 1976 was the one who hand picked the lucky car out of the Ford lot all those years ago. Steve’s love for his car goes beyond just chrome and wheels, as it holds a lot of family memories. In honour of his parents, Steve even had their names stitched onto the front seats of the car.

More recently she’s been involved in the Vancouver Camaro Club, the Galaxie Club of Canada, and the Royal City Show & Shine as a judge. She does as many local shows as she has time for, which turns out to be at least once a week (now that’s dedication).

Fast forward a few years to the present, where Wayne is currently a member of the B.C. Corvette Club, and has participated in many local shows around the Lower Mainland. He loves how people get excited when they sit in his car and take pictures, and one favourite moment in Brackendale at a children’s summer camp for burn victims, where he got to take the kids for a spin in his Corvette.

SHOW & SHINE Ballenas Project Management - a Downtown pioneer Since the late ’90s, Downtown New Westminster has steadily developed into a desirable area for new home owners. With three major developments along Columbia Street, Ballenas Project Management Group has played a signi¿cant role in the revitalization of the area. The company’s Northbank building, the third project by Ballenas to along Columbia Street, is set to be occupied by Fall 2013. The renovation of the Downtown New Westminster police station in 2001 marked the beginning of Ballenas’s role within the modern history of the Downtown. Having faith in Downtown New Westminster, Ballenas president Peter Newall says, “the city has history, and geographically it’s the centre of the Lower Mainland.” Never before in North America, Ballenas strategically built residential units above the police service building on Columbia at Sixth Street, which sold quickly. Ballenas then continued to develop in the Downtown, restoring the old BC Electric building at the foot of Eighth Street, to make way for a new home for the Salvation Army. As part of the project, the company built the Inter Urban building at the corner of Begbie and Columbia, which blends old and new—a brick facade at street level with a sleek glass tower above. At the opposite of Columbia Street, near the Pattullo Bridge is the site where the Northbank building is under construction. It will overlook the Fraser River, with 101 condos and eight townhomes in a 21-storey tower. Ballenas and Northbank are key sponsors of the Key West Ford Show & Shine. Be sure to visit the Northbank booth at the show and shine.

New Orleans Ale Stars brew up great tunes The New Orleans Ale Stars started brewing back in November 2004.

He wanted a band of ¿ne

players whose hearts were really in the music, and who knew how to have fun. While the original vision was to play straightahead New Orleans tradition, the band couldn’t help but pay tribute to the many masters in the ¿eld.

NWPD to graduate ﬁrst class of reserves in 12 years Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The New Westminster Police Department last week had its ¿rst class of reserve constables graduate since it phased out the program 12 years ago. When it was halted, reserves carried the same gear as police of¿cers, including guns, but were under the direct supervision of full-time of¿cers. Since then many police departments have revived them to do community events and programs, or activities as such as bicycle patrols in high-theft areas. They do not carry ¿rearms. NWPD Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland said the department attempted to revive the program a couple of years ago, but did not get many applications. He said Chief Const. David Jones wants to have more community-based programs and bringing the reserves back would help achieve that goal. It’s also hoped it will help entice young people to apply to be of¿cers. Hyland said recruiting is getting more and more dif¿cult, not just in New Westminster but across the region, and across North America. “We don’t see the numbers we did 10, 15 years ago,” said Hyland. There’s an added pressure on recruitment because it generally takes just a three-week conversion course for of¿cers to move from one police department to another making the process quite competitive between forces. He completed the reserve program before applying in the 1990s when New Westminster received more than 1,000 applications and hired only four or ¿ve new members in a two-year period.

Shark ﬁn ban gains momentum in Metro cities Time to end Chinese tradition, argues activist Marr Jeff Nagel Black Press

A campaign to stamp out the use of shark ¿ns by Chinese restaurants is quickly gaining steam across Metro Vancouver. Activists have already persuaded Coquitlam, Port Moody and the CIty of North Vancouver to ban the possession and use of the ¿ns and Burnaby is expected to follow suit. Now Vancouver Animal Defence League spokesman Anthony Marr is preparing to go after Vancouver, Richmond and Surrey – cities home to many of the Metro restaurants that serve shark ¿n soup. “They’re going down like dominoes,” Marr said of the cities signing on. “It’s going pretty strong.” Seven cities in Ontario, including Toronto, have agreed to bans, but B.C. is the big prize. By getting smaller communities on board ¿rst, Marr hopes to convince councils of the bigger Metro cities to simultaneously sign on to a ban and defuse concerns that affected restaurateurs will Àee Vancouver for Richmond or vice-versa. Marr himself ate shark ¿n soup as a kid in Hong Kong, but gave it up when he saw how poachers carve the ¿ns off live sharks, which are then dumped back in the ocean to die. It’s not just a tragedy for the slow-to-reproduce sharks. “If you wipe out the sharks, the medium-sized ¿sh they prey on will proliferate and overfeed on the smaller ¿sh,” Marr said. “They will proliferate and the ¿sheries will most likely collapse. So sharks are very important.” Marr claims plenty of allies in the Chinese community who agree it’s time to end a barbaric practice, responsible for the slaughter of about 50 million sharks annually. But he doesn’t try to convert restaurateurs, or their rich clientele who see shark ¿n as a prestigious delicacy. He ¿gures sharks

will be extinct by the time they come around or are replaced by younger, more enlightened generations of Chinese heritage. Nor does he apologize for what some fellow Chinese see as an attack on their culture. “If you cater to the Chinese culture and let them carry on with it, you’re not

really doing the Chinese reputation any favours,” he counters. Some civic politicians have questioned their authority to enforce a ban. Marr is working with others, including NDP MP Fin Donnelly, for a Canadawide ban, as well as a provincial one. But he contends shark ¿ns

should be illegal to possess already, since Canada is

in endangered species and many shark species are endangered. It’s dif¿cult to prove what species of shark a ¿n came from or whether it was removed from a live or dead shark, he noted. Some of the local bylaws being imposed simply refuse business licences to businesses that trade or use shark ¿ns, or impose ¿nes for violations. Marr has been a force in B.C.’s animal rights movement for years. In the mid-1990s he helped wage a campaign in Vancouver’s Chinatown to end imports of endangered species products like tiger balm, rhino horn and bear bile. And he spearheaded a provincial initiative to block bear hunting, a campaign that failed but led to a shortlived provincial moratorium on grizzly hunting in 2001.

Practices Board. The report estimates the entire area that may need replanting at two million hectares, out of the 95 million hectares of total forest land in B.C. But about 500,000 hectares of that is the legal responsibility of the forest companies that logged it, and the government has plans in place to replant another 250,000 hectares. â€œDecisions about whether to replant areas where mountain pine beetle and Âżres have killed most of the trees will have an impact on the future timber supply,â€? board chair Al Gorley said. â€œAt a minimum, if nature is left to take its course, the eventual crop of timber in those areas will be delayed.â€? The board, an independent watchdog of the B.C. government, is critical of the way the government deÂżnes â€œnot satisfactorily restockedâ€? forest land. The deÂżnition only applies to areas designated for timber harvest.

Even within this 22 millionhectare timber supply area, there are large areas affected by Âżre or pests, but the report notes that the ministryâ€™s survey data on these areas are not sufÂżcient to be certain of their tree survival or recovery. â€œThere has been only a limited amount of reforestation effort directed at mature beetleaffected forests because those areas might still be harvested by the forest industry,â€? the report says. The ministry announced regulatory changes Tuesday to promote salvage of wood waste for producing wood pellets and other â€œbio-products,â€? including electricity, fuels, plastics, solvents, lubricants and food additives. The regulations are aimed at providing access to smaller trees, tops and branches that are piled at logging sites and roads when sawlogs are taken out. They authorize new salvage licences that do not allow the harvest of standing trees.

B.C. has large forest areas damaged by wildĂ€res and beetle infestation that do not have a reforestation plan.

Decorative lighting plan in the works The city wants to spruce up the lighting on the streets of New Westminster. At its June 19 meeting, council approved the development of a comprehensive decorative lighting plan and gave the green light to request bids for a consultant to produce the plan. The plan would include seasonal and permanent lighting focusing on key areas such as commercial streets, city entry points, parks and public spaces. The staff report said decorative lighting would add to the city’s

community identity and pride. “Decorative lighting plays an intrinsic role in the beauti¿cation and revitalization of the city. It creates ambiance and atmosphere, and contributes to pedestrian interest. It is a subtle and effective way of enhancing the perception of urban areas.” The report went on to say it can help foster uniqueness in neighbourhoods, and the plan would help the city achieve certain heritage and arts goals it has for city beauti¿cation. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
