Neighbours cut political displayOne New Westminster woman came home

from the holidays to a rude surprise – someonehad cut the power cord to her “Stop Harper”Christmas light display.

Disappointed that she wasn’t going to geta new prime minister for Christmas, AndreaMears, who lives on the corner of 10thAvenue and Surrey Street, wanted a way tovoice her displeasure with Harper and theConservatives.

“I want to live in a Canada that believeswhat I do; peace, preserving the environmentand reducing the gap of income inequality,”she said. “All the things I want to say aresuper long, so I thought ‘Stop Harper’ is muchshorter.”

On Nov. 28, she hung a string of Christmaslights on her fence (at the top of Cariboo Hill,in the Cariboo Road and 10th Avenue inter-section) that read “Stop Harper” in bright redlights.

It was meant to be a festive expression ofMears’ political beliefs, but someone must nothave been of the same festive spirit as Mears,because less than a week after she hung thelights she received a phone call from a NewWestminster bylaw officer.

“He said that there had been four calls frommotorists saying they were distracted or con-fused by the lights and thought it meant theyhad to stop,” Mears told The Record.

Not wanting to prompt any more com-plaints, Mears changed the setting of the lightsfrom flashing to fade, hoping this would beless distracting for motorists.

Two days later, however, Mears came homeand the lights had been unplugged – strange,yes, but she didn’t think much of it and con-tinued on with her life.

Shortly before Christmas, Mears and herfamily went out of town for about a week.When they got home on Dec. 30, the ‘StopHarper’ lights were out, again, but this timesomeone had cut the power cord and left anote that read, “On behalf of the neighbour-hood, I’m shutting you down for Christmas.

Merry Christmas Scrooge.”“I was totally shocked. I couldn’t believe

somebody would cut, would vandalize, some-body else’s property, and the fact that therewas a note led me to believe that this personhad … set out with intent,” she said.

Mears, who has two young children agedthree and six years old, was upset. She toldThe Record she teaches her children that it isOK to disagree with other people, but that it’s

Bah humbug: Above, a note left bythe vandal who cut Mears’ ‘StopHarper’ lights. Right, the noteMears tacked on top of the noteleft behind by the vandal aftershe replaced the cut power cord.

On Dec.30, however, shecame home tofind someone hadcut the powercord to the lights.

important to listen andrespect what they say.

“I don’t want them tothink that destroying theirneighbour’s property isappropriate for oppos-ing political beliefs,” sheadded.

Mears replaced the cordand on top of the note leftbehind by the vandals,she tacked her own note,which read, “To whoevercut my lights, you may notagree with what they saybut surely you agree I havethe right to say it. Pleasedon’t vandalize my prop-erty again.”

Mears took the displaydown on Sunday and stillhas no idea who cut thecord or left the note. She’sspoken with her BlockWatch captain and hernext-door neighbour, andneither were bothered bythe lights.

In fact, her neighbouractually found the mes-sage amusing and hadwitnessed several peopletaking photos (a sight thisreporter also witnessed).

“My Block Watch cap-tain said, ‘What kind ofperson would assumeto speak on behalf of theneighbourhood?’ Nobodyspoke to him about it, so

that was also very strange,”Mears said.

The “Stop Harper”lights are gone for now, butMears is already trying tothink of ideas for anotherdisplay, possibly somethingValentine’s Day themed.

The Record contacted theNew Westminster PoliceDepartment, but calls werenot returned by press time.

The man accused of killingan addictions support worker inSeptember will be in court nextweek to set a date for his trial.

Jason Collet, an employee ofthe Last Door Recovery Society,was killed Sept. 16 at one ofthe society’s facilities in the 1100block of Nanaimo Street.

The following day, 25-year-oldSteven Rogers was arrested.

Rogers was formally chargedseveral days later with second-degree murder.

He remains in custody at thistime, and he is scheduled to be incourt on Jan. 12 to set a date forhis upcoming trial.

While police haven’t discussedany details regarding what led toCollet’s death, investigators saidin September that he and Rogersknew each other, and neitherwere known to police prior to theincident.

Further details won’t likely bedisclosed until the case goes totrial.

current collective agreement withCUPE 7000,” Butzelaar stated.“We believe our offer is fair con-sidering the current economiccircumstances.”

The company will do its bestto minimize the impact on cus-tomers, with its 34 managerslooking after operations duringthe job action, Butzelaar told TheRecord in a phone interview.

CUPE Local 7000 is part ofthe same union that representsSkyTrain workers.

The union isn’t accustomed tolistening to private sector com-panies when it comes to con-tracts, Butzelaar said, addingthat Southern Railway doesn’t

have the government’s deeppockets.

“We are a small local com-pany,” he said. “We believe ouroffer is fair.”

One of the sticking points,he said, is the company’s desireto pull back on post-retirementbenefits for new employees.Current employees who havethe benefits would retain thoseafter retirement, so the contractchange would only impact newhires, Butzelaar said.

The change is necessary, hesaid, because Southern Railway,which moves goods through theLower Mainland, is competingwith local and long-distancetrucking companies.

Meanwhile, CUPE Local 7000president Bill Magri said theunion and the company haveonly met a dozentimes in six months.

“They came tothe table with con-cessions every time,”Magri said in a phoneinterview with TheRecord.

Theunionreceivedthe lockout noticelast Wednesday, thenissued a strike noticetwo days later, Magrisaid.

The company is offering wageincreases that are less than infla-tion, Magri said.

The raise offer from the com-pany is 1.5 per cent for the firstfour years, 1.9 per cent after-

ward, and a $1,500signing bonus.

The term of theagreement (six years)and overall staffreductions also con-cern the union, Magrisaid.

“Generally they(union contracts) arethree years – fourright now would beconsidered a longishagreement,” he said.

In a show of support, the rail-way’s office workers, represent-ed by COPE 378, are also on the

line with the CUPE members.“It’s a bad time for this to

be happening, but we are pre-pared,” Magri added.

Union workers will receivestrike pay and health benefitscoverage, he said.

The railroad is a majortransporter of freight in BritishColumbia’s Lower Mainlandand Fraser Valley.

Almost one-half of the trafficthe company handles originatesor terminates on Annacis Island,where major automobile and for-est product distribution facilitiesare located.

Construction of the much-anticipated Bailey bridge isa step closer to completion.

One of two new crossings has been completed, butconstruction of the second bridge was delayed becauseof complications related to the piles supporting the struc-ture.

“The piles are completed,” project manager KeithWhiteley told The Record Dec. 23. “We finished that thismorning.”

Pedestrians and cyclists have been able to travel overthe bridge that’s already in place, but it’s off limits tovehicles until the second crossing is complete.

“We are looking at the first week of January to have thebridge contractor in there installing the bridge,” Whiteleysaid.

As soon as the bridge is complete in January, the Cityof New Westminster needs to do some road adjustmentsto accommodate the two lanes that will now connect NewWestminster and Coquitlam through the Braid industrialarea.

New Westminster and Coquitlam sparred over thefate of the Bailey bridge for much of 2014. The one-lanecrossing was closed to vehicle traffic in March 2014 whenan engineering inspection deemed it to be structurallyunsound.

While New Westminster embarked on plans to havea new single-lane structure installed, Coquitlam and theprovince’s transportation minister pressed for two lanes.An arbitrator sided with Coquitlam and agreed the areawould be best served by a two-lane crossing.

New Westminster firefighterschipped hundreds of Christmas treesunder soggy skies.

The New Westminster Firefighters’Charitable Society held its annualtree-chipping event on Jan. 3 and 4 inthe Canada Games Pool parking lot.

“Saturday was a real great day– lots of people stuck around becauseof the weather. It was a wet cold,”said firefighter Glen Bailey. “Sundaywas a downpour. We had very fewpeople hanging around.”

Along with helping people dis-pose of their Christmas trees, thetree-chipping event gives commu-nity members a chance to enjoy abarbecued hot dog, listen to somelive music and watch some tree-burn-ing and extinguisher demonstrations.Firefighters accept donations for thecharitable society, which funds a vari-ety of projects in New Westminster.

“All in all, weather considering,it was still a really good event,” saidBailey, a past president of the chari-

table society. “The guys organizing itdid a really good job. We have to thankthe citizens of New Westminster forsupporting us, allowing us to use thefacility and supporting the event.”

Firefighters chipped more than abin of Christmas trees, which waslater hauled away.

Local Scouts held a bottle drive atthe same time as the tree chipping.

“They collected bins of bottles,”Bailey said.

Only 23per cent of New Westminstervoters went to the polls lastNovember – given that thereisn’t another election for four years, it’simperative that citizens stay in touch andpoliticos keep citizens informed (andnewspapers keep close tabs, we might

add) about our changing city.Business in New West: Small busi-

nesses are launched by brave men andwomen in this city. They deserve localsupport and encouragement. We’d like

to see as much energy put intohelping local small businessesas the energy spent on luringlarger businesses to move here.

Policing: New West is for-tunate to have a local police departmentthat tries very hard to reflect the diversityin the city. It’s a model for other depart-ments in many ways. In 2015 we’d like to

see more cops on foot and visible in someof the parks and streets in the city.

City second-looks: Everybody wantseverybody to use less transit and bicycleand walk more in the city. But the cityevolved over time with a mish-mash ofstrange street layouts and poor pedes-trian crossings – if any. Some of theseare impossible to fix, but others canbe changed and improved. For 2015we’d like to see a special effort made toimprove pedestrian access and walkways.

Arts galore: In 2014, we were onceagain impressed with how much this

small city can offer in the way of liveentertainment and events. In 2015, we’dlike to see more folks tuning in to thecity’s live arts and culture scene and turn-ing off their TVs. And, if you’re wonder-ing how you can find out about the artsscene in the city – well, just check out ourarts coverage in these pages.

Good news: Folks email and call uswith heartwarming stories, but we knowthere are a lot more of them to share. In2015, we’d like to hear from more readerswith good news to share. There can neverbe too much of those in a year.

Predicting the topheadlines of 2015

If you’re like me, you areprobably tired of reading orwatching all those lists of the

Top 10 news stories from thepast year. Yes, yes, I know: theteachers’ labour dispute was abig story, but do we need to betold that again and again?

Instead of looking back, let’slook forward and try to figureout which stories we’re all goingto be talking about so much inthe coming year.

There will be unpredictableevents, of course, that will gar-ner a lot of headline coverage:major crimes, political controver-sies, spectacular accidents, cuteanimals that go missing (really),and the like.

But some big events in thepolitical arena are predictableand are sitting right there on thehorizon, just waiting to take overthe water cooler conversation.I can think of several separate,distinct events or issues that willget a lot of news coverage in thecoming year, and all of whichhave a direct impact on the livesof most British Columbians.

Get ready to read and hear alot about these in 2015:! 1. The transit plebiscite inMetro Vancouver in March.

By the time you get your

mail-in plebiscite ballot, youwon’t be able to look at so muchas a transit bus without thinkingabout expensive transportationprojects and how they shouldbe paid for. That’s because youare about to be inundated withall kinds of information (fromstories in newspapers, radio andtelevision, to pamphlets andadvertising) expressing supportfor both sides of the plebiscitequestion.

Those advocating the “yes”answer to whether the sales taxshould be boosted a half pointwill be just as aggressive – andloud, and non-stop – as thosepushing the “no” responseto the proposed tax hike. Youwon’t be able to turn on a tele-vision newscast, radio or opena newspaper without runningsmack into people like PortCoquitlam Mayor Greg Moore(an ardent Yes advocate) andJordan Bateman of the CanadianTaxpayers Federation, makingtheir pitches, over and overagain.! 2. The federal election inOctober.

The federal vote may not beuntil the fall, but the campaignis now starting in earnest. TheConservatives have begun run-ning new ads featuring PrimeMinister Stephen Harper, andwill continue to run ads thatattack and mock federal Liberalleader Justin Trudeau (and thefederal government will con-tinue to air ads praising its eco-nomic policies, with taxpayersfooting the bill for them for

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

It’s time to let Uber operateDear Editor:

I watched the local news New Year’s Day, inregards to those who went to downtown Vancouverto celebrate and how they where stranded for hoursby not being able to get a taxi.

There seems to be something terribly wrongwhen you can’t get a taxi when needed. As someonewho has lived around the Metro Vancouver area formany years, I can say that 20 years ago there was noproblem as there is now.

This situation is not acceptable. I don’t buy allthe excuses the taxi companies give in regard tolicensing.

I think it is sheer greed.Recently a company called Uber was going to

provide some sort of transportation service, ofcourse all the taxi companies where crying foul.

To me, I feel they have some monopoly going onand of course they don’t want competition.

They claim that these taxi drivers have some kindof training. Well, I saw an example of that trainingthe other day at a shopping mall where an elderlylady waited for her cab.

When it approached her, she was pushing awalker full of groceries and the driver just sat onhis behind while she struggled to open her door. Hefinally got out and helped a bit.

We do not want to encourage drinking and driv-ing, but we do nothing to discourage it either.

TransLink is hopeless also, as it does not run allnight. It would pay to have more transportation onthe roads all over Metro Vancouver as it would alsobenefit business, such as bars in restaurants.

So, if the taxi companies cannot supply reasonabletransportation service, then I say bring on Uber.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

newspapers. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you

into their riding nom-ination processes, andcandidates should startfilling those positions inincreasingly large numbersin the weeks ahead. Thethree main party leaderswill step up their travelschedules – look for allthree to make more andmore swings through B.C.,which has six extra seatsup for grabs this timearound – as their pace willbecome frenetic.

The latest polls sug-gest Harper and theConservatives are hangingonto their base, while theLiberals have made animpressive recovery withthe voters, and the NDPhas slipped back into itstraditional territory of the

distant third-place.But polls can be wrong,

of course (hello the 2013B.C. provincial election).Still, don’t count Harperout: his base, being older,is more likely to actuallyvote than those of his chiefopponents.! 3. Pipeline protests.

You didn’t seriouslythink these were overbecause the one onBurnaby Mountain ended?Come on, we’re just get-ting started here folks.

A great divide isbeginning to take holdin this country, and it’sgoing to play out in B.C.like nowhere else in thecountry. That divide isover energy policies, as avocal minority wants toend all oil shipments fromAlberta’s vast oil sandsproject.

! 4. The Site C dam con-struction.

B.C. Hydro says it isaiming to begin construc-tion in July. But that seemsoptimistic at best, givenhow many legal challengesagainst the dam have beenfiled, with more on theway.

All four of these issuesare linked by the factthat all of them containsome element of politicalprotesting, which is fit-ting, given that protest-ing is almost a BritishColumbian’s birthright.

And you’re going to seea lot of it this year, wheth-er it’s targeted at a transittax hike, an oil pipeline ora federal political party, ora hydroelectric dam.

THE RECORD STORY: New West’s new pedestrian overpass set toopen early in 2015 – Dec. 23Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Frank Benoit: This access will be of great bene-fit to many in the surrounding areas of downtown, Queen’s Park and also VictoriaHill although a good walk will be required. Projects such as these are a must in orderto link the various New Westminster communities to each other and its residents. Atthis time there is a major need for City Council to focus on tying in Queensboroughresidents to the other communities. The walking bridge from Queensborough tothe Quay has been on the back burner for a long time. It is time to make this projecta reality. Queensborough residents appear to be short-changed on many aspectsthat are needed to make the residential areas more like the West End and other NewWestminster communities.

New Westminsterfirefighters spreada little Christmas

cheer among kids at RoyalColumbian Hospital.

Several members ofthe New WestminsterFirefighters CharitableSociety dropped by thepediatrics ward on Dec.19 to deliver nearly $1,200worth of gifts. Toys, col-ouring supplies, DVDsand Xbox games wereamong the gifts deliveredto the ward.

“It’s no fun being inthe hospital at any time– it’s even less fun beingin at Christmas,” said fire-fighter Glen Bailey. “Wehave always tried to helpout the kids as much as wecan. We try and make theirstay as comfortable as pos-sible.”

Bailey, a past-presidentof the charitable society,said firefighters havepreviously donated itemsincluding TVs and DVDplayers to the ward.

“We try and help makekids’ lives a little bit hap-pier and help out thestaff,” he said. “They havea constant need.”

In the past, the char-itable society has alsocontributed to the con-struction of an indoorplayground, as well as anoutdoor play area for thepediatrics unit.

“It’s in our backyard,”Bailey said of RoyalColumbian Hospital. “Wedo pride ourselves ontrying to help out kids asmuch as we can.”

Cote changes upcouncil meetings

New Westminster’snew mayor is changingup the way city coun-cil reports on activitiesaround town.

Mayor Jonathan Coterecently introduced achange he hopes will mod-ernize the council reportssection of regular meetingsof city council. Anyonewho has tuned in to acouncil meeting in the past20 years may have noticedthe “council reports” sec-tion of the meeting wherecouncillors and the mayortalk about events or con-ferences they’ve attendedor comment on assorted

items impacting the com-munity.

Instead of having coun-cil members “go throughour diaries” for up to anhour at the end of meet-ings, Cote proposedchanges to speed up thereports and make themmore topical. Meetingswill include an announce-ments section where coun-cil members can do thankyou’s, announce upcomingevents or offer condol-ences on a need-to basis.

Cote would also like togive councillors a chanceto do five- or 10-minutereports at different timesto address specific issuesthey’re working on or pro-vide information gatheredat conferences.

Council consideredCote’s proposal at the Dec.8 meeting and supportedthe change.

Look at the pastThe New Westminster

The Giants, two-timewinners in 2009 and 2012,also finished runners-up atthe Macs in 2007 and ‘08.

“It really does (meansomething), especially tothe boys who have beenthere before,” said Giantshead coach Clint Thornton.“They know what toexpect. It’s a tough tourna-ment.”

The competition wasmade even tougher whenthe flu hit the Giants lock-er room hard early in thetourney.

Shane Kime also scoredhis first goal of the tourna-ment to tie the game 1-1early in the second period.

But the gutsy effort putforth by the team in the

quarter-finals was some-thing to build on for theremainder of the season,said Thornton.

“It said it all when our(ill) captain Keegan Jonescame off the ice unstrap-ping his helment so hecould be sick into a bucketand then looking up, said,‘I’m good to go.’ It showedthe others what they canaccomplish when theyreally want it,” Thorntonadded.

In the quarter-finals,David Tendeck helpedhand the CalgaryNorthstars their only lossat the Mac’s, registering a4-0 shutout.

Affiliate Brady Chin gotcredit for the game win-ner as the Giants scored

twice in both the first andthird periods against theSouthern Alberta club.Jones, Josh Latta and BrettDidyk also scored.

The Giants won Pool2 with an unbeaten 3-0-1 record. The BurnabyWinter Club-based clubopened the tournamentwith a 1-1 draw againstthe Calgary Flames. Chinscored the Giants’ onlygoal.

Warm registered a 3-0 shutout against theSaskatoon Contacts, whileCallahan Brebner, Jonesand Jason Village – into anempty net – all scored in an11-minute span of the thirdperiod to knock off thefourth-place Saskatchewanmidget league club.

The Giants got key out-ings in a pair of 3-2 winsto lock up top spot in poolplay.

Tendeck made 47 stopsto register the victoryover the Northern Albertaleague leader CAC GreggDistibutors, while Latta tal-lied the game-winner fromaffiliate Kyle Kaufmanwith three minutes left onthe clock.

In the Giants’ final poolgame, Kaufman scored thegame-winning goal withhis first goal of the tourna-ment in a 3-2 win over theNew York Jr. Islanders.

Kaufman and Chinproved key contributorsfor the Giants, with fourand three points, respec-tively.

Justin Wilson and Lattaled the Giants in scoringwith six points apiece,while Latta and Jones bothposted a team-best threegoals.

Austin McQuay becamethe second consecutiveGiant to be named one offive scholarship winnersat the Mac’s. Last year,Quinn Thompson earnedthe honour for the Giants.

The B.C. league-leadingCariboo Cougars defeatedRegina 2-1 in double-OT towin their first-ever Mac’stitle.

The competition allaugurs well for the Giants’return to league play thisweekend.

Ready to go: The Northwest Giants warmed up for the Mac’s AAA midget hockey tournament with a recentthre-point outing over the second-place Okanagan Rockets last month.

The Burnaby NOW made news at the BurnabyVelodrome 4Day bike race.

The Burnaby NOW-sponsored team of American ridersJacob Duehring and Daniel Holloway rode away with thetop prize after four nights of exciting indoor track racingbefore record crowds at the Barnet Highway bubble onDec. 30.

Going into the final races up a lap and trailing TeamCanada’s Zach Bell and Jacob Schwingboth on points,Holloway claimed the elimination sprint over Bell, set-ting up the California pair for a winning ride in the final140-lap Madison.

Duehring, a U.S. team member to the upcoming worldchampionships, and Holloway, the reigning U.S. Elitecriterium champion, lapped the field to claim the toppodium at the 4Day.

The California pair made a break from the pack with

38 laps to go and kept the hammer down all the way tothe finish.

“I’m glad we won for Burnaby,” said the 29-year-oldDuehring. “It was a risky decision. If we ended blowingup, we could have ended up losing. But we knew we bothhad enough experience to put in a big dig.”

In the women’s elite division, hometown favourite andOlympian Jasmin Glaesser took top honours over WorldCup medal winner Stephanie Roorda and eight-time NewZealand national champion Joanne Kiesanowski.

Holloway, who won a 6Day title with Colby Pearceat the Burnaby Velodrome in 2011, dedicated the win toeveryone who had lost a loved one while cycling over theChristmas holidays.

“I want to dedicate it to all those families,” said the 27-year-old 6Day regular.

“It’s not just your run-of-the-mill bike race. We havetactics to follow. We have to evolve and change with theracing, with how we feel,” Holloway added. “It’s whatmakes this sport so great.”

Holloway, who has competed in more than 20 multi-day track events, will be going to 6Day competitions with

Last year’s national sil-ver medallist lost its onlygame of the provincials8-2 to the Corryn Brownrink from Kamloops in thetitle game at the ParksvilleCurling Club on Jan. 3.

But unlike the team’searlier seven-end win overthe Kamloops foursome,the final was all Brown.

The 2013 provincial andCanadian junior champsstole a single in each of thesecond, third, fourth andfifth ends, before claiminga game-breaking triple inthe seventh.

With last rock in theninth end, Brown made asuccessful double takeoutto sit one.

In the junior men’s final,Royal City club’s BraydenCarpenter finished justshort of a spot in the play-downs with a 4-3 record.

Victoria’s PaulHenderson won theprovincial men’s title 9-8over Cody Tanaka fromAbbotsford.

The two met on the trackand make a solid pairing.

“We’re both kind of spin-ny,” Duehring said, mean-ing the two racers havesimilar good leg speed.

But both cannot denytheir likeness for how thesport of Madison cyclingbrings people together toeveryone’s mutual enjoy-ment.

“I like the sense of com-munity it brings to thesport,” Duehring added.“It’s unique.”

“It will be a good competition. Ourguys are learning how we have to playto win,” Thornton said. “Mac’s was agood example of how we need to play. Ibelieve we have two of the best goalies in

the province, if not Western Canada, andwe’re going to build out from there.”
