Three lanes, four lanes, as many lanes asneeded – candidates are all over the roadwhen it comes to a new Pattullo Bridge.

TransLink has stated that the 75-year-old bridge is a critical route for movingpeople and goods, but needs to be replacedbecause it doesn’t meet current road designguidelines or seismic standards. The Cityof New Westminster is considering thereplacement or rehabilitation of the bridgeas part of its master transportation plan.

New Westminster Liberal candidateHector Bremner said a new bridge should

have as many lanes as needed – but thatdoesn’t mean he’s in a hurry to see a newbridge built.

“We’ve got to make a decision in thenext year about that bridge. I have beenvery clear – I said without a proper regionalplan, without a comprehensive way ofaddressing traffic on the north side of theFraser River, the bridge is sort of a wastefulinvestment – unless it’s serving a greaterpurpose,” he said. “The bridge could be15 lanes, it wouldn’t matter – you still getinto Queen’s Park and it’s still residentialroads.”

Before any decision is reached aboutthe Pattullo Bridge, Bremner said detailed

information is needed about traffic on thenorth and south sides of the Fraser Riverand a plan for dealing with traffic on thenorth side of the Fraser River.

Bremner said public transportationneeds are grossly underserved on the southside of the Fraser River. He noted thatSouth Fraser Perimeter Road is not yetcomplete so the impacts of that roadway ontraffic flows aren’t known.

“I think that we need to understandimpacts of investments on those areasbefore we get too concerned about buildinga bridge as a standalone piece of infrastruc-ture,” he said.

Green party candidate Terry Teather

said his party doesn’t believe that buildinginfrastructure solves traffic problems.

“I don’t believe that building a newbridge is going to decrease traffic problemsor the stress on infrastructure here in NewWestminster,” he said. “I do not supporteither the replacement or the moving of thePattullo Bridge.”

Teather said the existing Pattullo Bridgeis unsafe, but it should be rehabilitatedrather than replaced.

“I think rehabilitating the existing struc-ture would save money in the future,” hesaid. “I support two widened lanes with a

CITY COP WITH A LOT OF HEAR T RETIRES

Candidates all over the road on new bridge

Const. Bruce Ballingall has made hismark on the Royal City during a 27-yearcareer with the New Westminster PoliceDepartment.

Ballingall turned 64 on April 29 andofficially started his retirement on May 1.Policing wasn’t the first career choice forthe native of Winnipeg, Man.

“I wanted to be a rock star,” he said.“I was drumming with what became theGuess Who and guess you can say, I lostmy focus. There was me, Randy Bachman,Burton Cummings – we weren’t called theGuess Who at the time. We were Alan andthe Silvertones and the Deverons – therewas two bands that became one.”

Instead of becoming a rock star,Ballingall started working as a shoe buyerat Eaton’s.

“A couple of my friends, their fatherswere police officers. I always respectedwhat they did,” he said. “I really wanted tobe a social worker. One day I came up withthis idea that as a police officer, the uniformis a really awesome tool – you can use theuniform as a tool to help people.”

dedicated lane for cyclist and pedestrians,because that is aligned with the green wayof thinking.”

Teather would support banning trucktraffic on the Pattullo Bridge unless NewWestminster is the destination. He saidmoney saved by not building a new bridgecould be invested in areas of transit thatare vital to the region, including light railin Surrey and transit along the Broadwaycorridor in Vancouver.

Conservative candidate Paul Forseth haslong believed that the Pattullo Bridge needsto be replaced.

“I am one of the few who has actuallyclimbed underneath the steel of the PattulloBridge and risked my life while walkingacross the four-inch beams to paint andscrape that bridge. When I was 19 yearsold, I was working on bridge maintenanceas a summer job. One of my colleagues fellto (his) death when I was right beside him.So I know what it’s like to be under thatbridge, on the bridge, when the heavy traf-fic goes over,” he told The Record. “In 1966I felt the bridge should have been replaced– it’s been maintained since then, but thestructure needs to be replaced.”

Forseth disagrees with those who’vesuggested the bridge should be torn downand not replaced.

“That is an unrealistic, selfish view. Weneed a new bridge that meets environ-mental standards, that’s much safer. Thisis not just a bridge for Surrey and NewWestminster, this is a bridge for WesternCanada,” he said. “We should be able tobe proud of a great structure that could beput in its place. When I think of some of thegreatest photographs of grand cities aroundthe world, often there is a bridge in thebackground, which describes and defines acity that’s bold in its future and proud of itsability to be a livable region where peoplewant to live and have social discourse. Oneof those basic freedoms is the freedom tomove.”

New Westminster NDP candidate JudyDarcy said she lives in Victoria Hill and seesmotorists darting through her neighbour-hood trying to avoid the lineups to get ontothe bridge.

“I see that traffic, I live it. It comes upour street. It’s impossible to get out of ourgarage often,” she said. “I think it’s reallysymptomatic of the fact that we have a

TransLink board that is completely unac-countable. Issue number 1 is we need tomake the TransLink board accountable tothe communities it is supposed to repre-sent, including New Westminster, don’t youthink? It’s time to tell the provincial govern-ment to stop treating New Westminsterlike an intersection, an intersection for theLower Mainland.”

Darcy said she supports NewWestminster city council’s position that thecity doesn’t want increased congestion inneighborhoods, as its bad for children andbad for the environment.

“I think you really have to invest in pub-lic transit,” she added. “We will invest inpublic transit. We will use significant partsof the carbon tax to invest in public transitbecause that’s a critical part of the solutionto a regional transportation plan that reallyhelps to reduce the congestion and traffic inNew Westminster.”

Independent candidate James Crostysaid air quality is an issue that must be con-sidered as part of planning for the future ofthe Pattullo Bridge.

“Before we can talk about replacing thePattullo, we need solutions over here,” hesaid about New Westminster roads. “We

need to open the dialogue and we need tofind out exactly what the people of NewWestminster want on this side of the bridgefirst and foremost.”

Crosty said there’s a traffic mess fromQueensborough to United Boulevard.While something needs to be done with thePattullo Bridge because it’s unsafe, he alsowants a tunnel to be considered as a way ofmoving traffic through New Westminster toimprove air quality.

“I want the tunnel option on the table fordiscussion. Primarily because we need todeal with the issue on New Westminster’sside before the Pattullo is replaced, fixed,torn down, repaired, made one lane, madesix lanes – it doesn’t matter. The issue hereis air quality,” he said, noting tunnels havebeen done in a cost-effective manner inNorway. “If you have a way of taking thetraffic through New Westminster withoutgoing over top of it, then they can build a12-lane bridge. Who cares as long as it’s notall feeding into New Westminster?”

Bridge: Candidates differ on solutions to Pattullo

A dog attack in Burnabyhas sent a New Westminsterman’s four-legged familymember into critical condi-tion and himself to the hos-pital for IV therapy.

On April 22, DarrenPilling and his three-year-old sheltie dog, Finley, wereenjoyingawalkinBurnaby’sFraser Foreshore Park whenthe attack occurred.

Pilling owns a manufac-turing truck parts business,but he’s often in Burnabythree to four times a weekon business.

“(Finley) can play withthe ducks, gets anotherwalk in during the day,” hetold The Record. “We weredoing that a few days aweek for a long time, it’snormal practice.”

But nothing was nor-mal about this trip. Pillingsaw a large dog that mayhave been a pit bull mix,unleashed and barrelingtowards Finley.

“My buddy has a pitbull, two of them, and onehe can let run free – it’s as

friendly as Finley,” Pillingexplained. “I figured, OK,this guy has a (dog) offleash so it’s got to be one ofthe good pit bulls.”

Then Pilling said henoticed the dog wasn’tslowing down and beforehe knew it, the big dog hadflipped Finley over and wastrying to eat her.

“I started to boot the(other) dog in the head to tryto get it to let go of Finley,”he said. “The owner startedyelling at me for booting hisdog in the head.”

Finally, the dog did stopfrom tearing open Finley’sunderbelly and took off.Finley also took off inanother direction.

“I followed the owner,I was kind of in shock andpanic,” he said. “I was angry,but not in full-rage mode. Iwas pissed off. Somebodyjust attacked one of my fam-ily members.”

Pilling said he got intoa verbal argument with theother owner and asked forhis info, which the ownerrefused to give.

“Then I started to getpissed off and angry, and he

did the old chest bump tome and told me, ‘You don’tknow who I am,’” Pillingsaid.

Then a nearby witnesscalled Pilling and told himhis dog was bleeding.

“There was a pool ofblood underneath her,” hesaid. “I scooped (Finley) upand ran back to the truck.”

Then Pilling said it was astressful drive searching fora nearby veterinarian clinic

to take Finley to.It wasn’t before long

that after heading towardsNorth Fraser Way, head-ing east back to New West,that Pilling once again sawthe same owner of the big

dog who attacked Finleywalking with his dog nowleashed.

“I stop, pull the truck upand pull out and said, ‘Youhave to give me your info,”

New Westminster’s Tony Eberts, a longtime letter-to-the-editor writer and Province reporter, has passed away atthe age of 80.

According to The Province, Eberts spent more than threedecades in the newsroom, covering New Westminster andenvironmental issues.

Eberts’ letters to the editor often appeared in the Burnaby

NOW and The Record, his hometown publication.Eberts died on Saturday, April 27, at Royal Columbian

Hospital. Earlier this year, he was diagnosed with myasthe-nia gravis, which causes severe weakening of the muscles.His last letter to the editor ran in The Record on Wednesday,April 24 – just four days before his passing.

Eberts is survived by his son Jerry, daughters Janet andNancy, and grandson Jake. He is predeceased by his wifeDorothy, whom he met while working at The Province.

According to The Province, reporter Ashley Ford sat next

to Eberts for years and remembered him as “a real gentle-man” who “didn’t take guff from anyone and … knew howto ask the right questions.”

Ford also told The Province that Eberts was “one of thebest writers the paper ever had.”

“Tony’s big belief was in telling it like it was,” he said. “Iknow Tony believed this implicitly: If you turn out a goodnewspaper, people will read it. Good journalism will bringgood readers.”

Pilling said. “We ended upin a scuffle in the middle ofthe street.”

That’s when the big dog,who attacked Finley, bit intoPilling’s leg.

“I turned around andpunched the dog in the noseand he let go,” Pilling said.“I turned back to the guyand he has a knife in hishand and he said somethinglike, ‘Get out of here.’”

The same witnesswho was on the trail alsochanced upon Pilling andthe other dog owner again,and called Pilling to payattention to Finley.

“The lady followed theguy from the trail,” he said.“She was there, yelling,‘Your dog, your dog.’”

That’s when Pilling ranback to his truck and drove“like a crazy man” to tryand find a vet while Finleywas bleeding out in thebackseat.

“I’ve been hurt and lostblood, but to see how muchblood she was losing,”Pilling said, “and I’m on thephone … and I’m half crazytrying to find a vet.”

When Finley finallyreceived care she receivedstitches to her stomach andwas stable, but a day or two

later her health took a turnfor the worst, according toPilling.

“We brought her backhome again and she wasn’tright at all,” Pilling said.

The vet had to cut heropen again and Finley’sstomach became bloated tothe point where she lookedpregnant, Pilling said.

After Global TV’s seg-ment on Pilling’s story ear-lier this week, his familywas able to bring Finley to avet in Vancouver.

“She’s in there now andshe had surgery last night(April 30) and there’s a holein her stomach,” Pillingsaid.

Finley is in critical condi-tion, taking it hour by hour.

“She has to make itthrough the next four daysto get stable,” Pilling said,May 1.

Pilling said he’s pastanger and is concerned forhis dog.

Meanwhile he has had toget IV therapy every day atRoyal Columbian Hospitalto fight an infection fromthe bite in his leg.

“Forget about themoney,” he said about thebills that are reaching the$5,000 mark. “This guy hasput my dog through hell

and the rest of it so he canthink he’s the cool guy withthe pit bull off his leash.”

Although Pilling saidhe’s not sure what kind ofdog attacked Finley, he didsay it was big and lookedlike it had some kind of pitbull mix.

Burnaby RCMP con-firmed it is investigatingFinley’s attack.

“It doesn’t make sense,”Pilling added. “But mosttraumatic things don’t.”

There are plenty of reasons NewWestminster residents cite for lovingthis relatively small city in the midst ofmuch larger urban areas, but one that isregularly mentioned is the opportunityto get closer to neighbours,city leaders, and people whomake a difference to our lives.

In New Westminster, youcan actually get to know thecop on the beat, the firefighter, theelectricity worker, the chap who writesletters to the editor, the woman whoworks at the local food bank. Sometimes

you don’t even know their name untilyou see an item in the newspaper aboutthem, or you overhear a conversationabout them in the grocery store. Butyou know that they make a difference

in your community, and thatmakes the city feel – well, justa bit more like a hometown.

This week we bid farewellto one of those people who

have made an incredible impact on thecity. Const. Bruce Ballingall – or ‘chickenlegs’ – as he is affectionately known,will be sorely missed. Our story in this

print edition barely scratched the surfaceof his fascinating story – so we urge youto read more about him on our website.We wish him well in his retirement.

Sadly, we also lost two other remark-able community people this past week– both to illnesses that they had strug-gled with. Ed Harrington, was key tothis city’s thriving arts community. Hisjoy for life and people and theatre wasvisible in everything he did. He was agenerous soul with his time and energy,and laughter, and the city is poorer forlosing him.

Tony Eberts was a reporter at TheProvince newspaper for years, and anauthor. When he made New Westminsterhis home, he also became a regularletter to the editor writer. His letterswere always born from his principles,straight-shooting and often tinged witha wry sense of humour that only a repor-ter could have.

Yes, we know, people leave, they die,that’s life. But in a small city where, asthe song goes – everybody knows yourname – the losses seem much more per-sonal.

Consider voting for‘none of the above’

I’m going to bang that drumagain – the same drum I’vebeen banging on during

every major election for years.And I’m going tokeep banging on ituntil someone listens– and hears.

There’s somethingmissing from the bal-lots that are presented to us atthe polling booths during federaland provincial elections.

Actually, it’s missing fromcivic election ballots, too, whenwe’re choosing school trusteesand mayors and councillors,but it’s usually not as critical,because of the wider variety ofchoices we usually have.

There’s a choice we’re alldenied, and it’s to the detrimentof the whole democratic process.

We need one more box thatwe can check off (technically, inCanada, we are supposed to usecheck marks, not Xes to indicateour choices – but the rules acceptany “obvious intention”).

That extra box belongs at thebottom of the list of candidates.

And it should read: “Noneof the Above.” We need to beable to give voice to our dissent– when it is warranted – withoutspoiling our ballots, which istechnically illegal and logicallyfoolish.

Even if they don’t throw youin jail (I haven’t heard of it everactually happening) for spoilingyour ballot when you really feelyou should have the choice tovote for “None of the Above,”it’s a completely useless, sense-

less gesture.If you have even ever both-

ered to check the “SpoiledBallots” column in a final bal-

lot tally, you probablythought exactly whateveryone else does: “It’samazing how manypeople don’t even haveenough intelligence to

mark a ballot properly.”Be honest. No one thinks,

“Wow. Those people were prob-ably disenchanted with thechoices available to them andspoiled their ballots purposely tolodge their protest.”

And if you exercise the onlyother realistic alternative – stayhome – you’re just another oneof those apathetic slobs whocan’t be bothered to make theeffort to study your choices andmake a valuable decision.

Either way, you don’t count.You’re either stupid or lazy, orboth.

But if you could put yourcheck mark in a box beside thewords, “None of the Above,”there would be no mistakingyour intentions.

You considered the optionsopen to you. You thoughtabout the choices available. Youweighed all the qualificationsand experience offered by all thecandidates.

And you decided to takeyour ballot into a polling booth,picked up the pencil provided,and registered the preference

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Canada’s ‘hearing’ problemDear Editor:

The inscription on the Peace Arch at the Canada/U.S. border reads, “Children of a common mother”but although our British parent may be the same,our approaches to moving governments to actiondiffers.

The U.S. was born through a revolution and aDeclaration of Independence that began “We thepeople …” By contrast, Canada was born, quietly90 years later, through evolution, with reliance on“… Peace, Order and good Government …” Thecontrast in our beginnings persists to this day in ourattitudes to changing the direction of projects likethe transhipment and export of coal to Asia.

Washington State’s Whatcom County (popu-lation 200,000-plus) has received 125,000 publiccomments over a 12-day comment period that cul-

minated in a 140-page report by three federal, stateand local agencies on the environmental impactof expansion of the Cherry Point Gateway PacificTerminal to handle coal from the ominously namedPowder River Basin.

By contrast, our city councillors and NewWestminster Environmental Partners have onlyrecently jumped on the “Coal Train” – the moralequivalent of running to catch up to lead a paradepast the reviewing stand – a parade started byQuayside and Queensborough resident petitions.

I have listened to New Westminster provincialcandidates on the coal transhipment facility. All butTerry Teather and James Crosty cede the issue to“federal jurisdiction” or being a “done deal.” TheMay 9 Community Dialogue on Coal and ClimateChange meeting at Surrey City Centre Library from6:30 to 8:30 p.m. will hopefully change this provincial

IN MY OPINIONBOB GROENEVELD

The New Westminster Record welcomes letters to the editor. We do, however, edit for taste,

legality and length. Priority is given to letters written by residents of New Westminster and/or

issues concerning New Westminster. Please include a phone number where you can be

reached during the day. Send letters to:

apathy.Our MPs have written letters to the fed-

eral government ministers responsible, butcan they sway Port Metro Vancouver to beas proactive as their U.S. counterparts toprotect the health, safety and environmentof the million-plus folks between WhiteRock and Texada Island?

Permitting this coal facility at FraserSurrey Docks by public relations ratherthan through public hearings is outra-geous.

Our U.S. neighbours are listened to andprotected, and we up here in Canada arenot.

People in the U.S. push back on “donedeals,” and their successful efforts to keepcoal out of their backyards have nudgedthe black stuff squarely into our frontyard – demonstrating, perhaps, that, “wethe people…” is more effective than reli-ance on, “peace, order and good govern-ment…”

Setting Liberal facts rightDear Editor:

Just filling in some missing numbers atthe April 24 all-candidates meeting in NewWestminster.

Liberal candidate, Hector Bremnerspent time quoting the Liberal party line,often rechecking his notes to make surethat he had correctly read the “facts” abouteducation funding provided by his party.

He was correct in stating his party “hasincreased funding since it became the rul-ing party more than a decade ago.”

What he neglected to tell the public wasthat our children’s education has slippedas a priority in the provincial budget from26 per cent 10 years ago to just 15 per centtoday.

Rising cost pressures have far out-stripped government increases to the

budget; funding increases have not beenlarge enough to preserve the same levels ofservices students had a decade ago; duringthe past decade the number of full-timeequivalent educators has increased by fiveper cent in Canada and decreased by twoper cent in B.C.; and in major key indica-tors used by Statistics Canada, B.C. rankedtenth out of 10 in percentage increases ineducation spending.

Per-student operating expendituresin B.C. in 2005/06 were $131 above theCanadian average, but in 2009/10 were$412 below the Canadian average.

During the last decade in B.C., under-funding has led to a loss of 752 specialeducation teachers; the loss of a third of allELL (English Language Learners) teachers– a decline of 340 teachers even althoughthe number of ELL students has increased;the number of counsellors in the systemdropped by 117 (while the demand fortheir assistance has increased); the numberof teacher-librarians has declined by 30 percent at a time when the demands of rapidchange in new technology have dramatic-ally increased and led to rapidly increas-ing numbers of overcrowded classes witha more complex composition of studentswith broad ranges of needs.

Locally, insufficient government fund-ing has led to the need for recent massivelayoffs in the New Westminster schooldistrict. Guess he just forgot to mentionthat part.

Even with all this, Mr. Bremner focusedon the point that our system is “just racingto mediocrity,” neglecting to mention thatNew Westminster has proven itself overand over again, on provincial, national andinternational assessments, in the academ-ics, arts and athletics, to have outstandingstudents, reflecting a world class educa-tion system.

To suggest racing towards mediocrity isan insult all the hard work done in this cityby the students, school staff, school board,parents and the community itself.

to which you rationallyarrived.

You did not give wayto a default position – youactively chose “None ofthe Above.”

No one can dispute it.No one can deny or mis-construe your intent (oryour discontent).

“None of the Above”could be an important wayfor a lot of people – par-ticularly in this election– to actively participate in

the democratic process.You don’t like one party

and never have? You don’thave to hold your nose tovote for another candidatethat has no appeal for you.

You can’t vote for yourparty’s candidate becauseyou can’t stand the leader?Or vice versa?

“None of the Above”can’t win an election – butit sends a clear message.If there are few votes for“None of the Above” inyour riding, clearly you

are in the minority. Toobad.

But if “None of theAbove” is a hugely popu-lar choice in any riding,the politicians and theirparties will have to takenotice.

Or someone else willrecognize the opportunityfor a better choice.

A Libertarian candidateis the latest person to filenomination papers to runin New Westminster in theMay 14 provincial elec-tion. Lewis Clarke Dahlby,the Libertarian candidatejoins Hector Bremner(B.C. Liberal Party), JamesCrosty (independent); JudyDarcy (B.C. NDP), PaulForseth (B.C. ConservativeParty) and Terry Teather(Green Party of B.C.)

One meeting leftNew Westminster candi-

dates have already attend-ed three all-candidatesevents and have one to goin the campaign.

Following up on lastweek’s district parent advi-sory council all-candidatesmeeting and Sundays’event hosted by theQueen’s Park Residents’Association, the candidatesattended a meeting heldby The New WestminsterChamber of Commerce onWednesday.

The next meeting willbe on foot – Tenth to theFraser, NEXT New Westand New WestminsterEnvironmental Partners areholding an all-candidateswalk on Saturday at 5:30p.m. Candidates and com-munity members will meetat Sapperton Park (at thecorner of East Columbiaand Sherbrooke streets).After meeting at the park,people can stroll to RiverMarket – giving candi-dates a chance to chat withcommunity members andallowing each candidatea chance to address thecrowd for five minutes.

Seniors’ supportNDP candidate Judy

Darcy believes NewWestminster seniors willget more support from aNew Democrat govern-ment.

The NDP is committingto $70 million over threeyears to enable seniors andpeople with chronic dis-abilities to receive homesupport and communitycare.

It’s also committing toimproving standards ofresidential care for seniorswho can’t remain at homeby investing $35 million toimprove basic services.

“This support is criti-cally needed. I know fromtalking with seniors andtheir families with staff atRCH, Queen’s Park CareCentre and other facilitieshow desperately neededthis support is,” Darcy saidin a press release. “One in10 hospital beds is beingused by someone whoshould be receiving careelsewhere. We know thateffective home supportreduces the demands onour hospitals, but funda-mentally it’s the right thingto do for our seniors whowant to live in their homesfor as long as possible.”

Livable incomeThe Green party is pro-

posing a guaranteed livableincome to eliminate pov-erty in British Columbia.

“It’s time to eliminatepoverty,” said Green partyleader Jane Sterk in a pressrelease. “Families andindividuals caught in thecycle of poverty have notbeen offered hope or a fairshare in our province’swealth. The only way toreally eliminate poverty isby instituting a guaranteed

livable income.”Terry Teather is the B.C.

Green Party candidate inNew Westminster. GreenParty candidates are pledg-ing to introduce a bill, orsupport one in the legisla-ture, to establish an expertcommission to study how aguaranteed livable incomecan be implemented in B.C.

him in 1976, even though he had hair down to the middleof his back.

“I had to walk the beat. In Winnipeg, you didn’t seeinside a police car for the first two years. You walked thebeat. That’s how I learned to be a cop, that’s how you learnto communicate with people by walking the beat – eye-to-eye, one-on-one,” he said. “It was cool. I loved it.”

Ballingall, who had lived on the West Coast with his fam-ily as a teenager, started work with the New WestminsterPolice Department in 1986.

“I wanted to continue on what I was doing – street levelpolicing, community policing,” he said. “It was always away of approaching policing. It’s about the community.You don’t do anything without the community’s involve-ment. It just doesn’t work.”

Though he’s well known in the Royal City for his com-munity policing initiatives, Ballingall is no stranger to thestreets.

“It’s happened a few times,” he said about pulling hisgun. “Back in the day, New West was the Wild West. Therewas a time that we had more bar seats per capita than anyplace else in North America.”

In addition to being a patrol officer, Ballingall hasworked as a traffic officer, crime prevention officer, stationduty officer and even as a detective. He’s hosted a coupleof policing shows on cable and helped establish the RockSolid anti-bullying program.

“I have been very blessed in my career to be able todo most of it on my terms. I have done everything twicebecause I have been around so long,” he laughed. “I’veworked in all sections but being in community policing/crime prevention has always been my passion. I have put alot of my own free time into it through the years because Ibelieve in it. You know why I do it? My community gets it.The volunteers in New West – I have sat on a lot of provin-cial committees – the volunteers in New West blow every-

body else away. We have true community commitment inour community. It’s very unique in that. Other communi-ties have good citizens, yeah, but ours has a plethora ofgood, caring citizens who really want to be involved in thecommunity. That’s why we are such a successful city.”

While he could have retired a few years back, Ballingallwasn’t ready to go and fought retirement.

“It used to be mandatory at 60. I thought, well thatdoesn’t seem fair so I had some guidance, put together alegal brief and here I am,” he said. “I love this community,I love being here and I love working in this community – Istill have that passion but there comes a time when youhave to try something different so I’m off to try somethingdifferent. Maybe I will put the band back together.”

Chicken Legs, as Ballingall is known to thousands ofNew Westminster children, has yet to decide whether he’llreturn to the Royal City to help out with this summer’ssoccer camp.

“Soccer school,” he said of his proudest accomplish-ment. “It’s one of the most successful community policeprograms in North America, one of the longest running, ifnot the longest running.”

Ballingall’s larger-than-life presence will be missed atthe New Westminster police station.

“The thing we will notice about Bruce being gone is itwill be quieter,” said Chief Const. Dave Jones. “Bruce hasbeen a big part, not only of the police department, but thecommunity too.”

While there are a lot of people who represent the policedepartment when they’re in uniform, Jones noted thatBallingall represented more than the uniform and repre-sented it at a personal level.

“Of all the people I have come into contact with in cityhall, he was the loudest – he also had the biggest heart.He’s a fellow that I very much respect; I really appreciateeverything he has done for the city. Cities are built some-times with characters – and he’s been a positive one,” saidMayor Wayne Wright, who chairs the New WestminsterPolice Board. “That fella has been nothing but a positive-ness for the city. He will be missed. His intention is alwaysfor somebody else.”

New Westminster residents aregetting a helping hand in prepar-ing for emergency situations.

The City of New Westminsterhas proclaimed May 5 to 11 asEmergency Preparedness Week.

“Know the hazards, make aplan, get a kit,” said Dave Jones,coordinator of the city’s emergen-cy program office.

During EmergencyPreparedness Week, the city isoffering two free sessions on per-sonal preparedness to help resi-dents be prepared for emergen-cies.

The city’s emergency manage-ment office, and fire and policeservices are offering free emer-gency preparedness workshopson May 6 and 8, from 6:30 to 8:30p.m.

The seminars will provide anoverview of emergency prepared-ness, help people develop a familyemergency plan, explain the roleof the fire and police departments,and show how people can createa family emergency kit so theycan be self-sufficient for at least 72hours if an emergency strikes.

Jones stressed the importanceof residents and businesses tak-ing action to be prepared for anyemergency.

“Personal preparedness is whatyou need to do,” he said. “Thegovernment can’t do everything.People have a responsibility to beprepared.”

In addition to an emergency

kit, Jones said people should havea family reunification and com-munication plan, and should haveup-to-date insurance and a will.

“Being prepared is knowingthe risks and hazards in your com-munity,” he added. “There are 57identified hazards in B.C.”

According to Jones, risks couldinclude being located in an areawith seismic activity, on a riverthat experiences spring freshet, on

a rail line that transports hazard-ous materials or being in an areathat experiences severe weatherstorms.

“We always offer free classes,”Jones said. “We have it on thecity’s website so people can signup for those things.”

For the past 26 weeks, the cityhas been providing weekly tipsthrough social media on becomingprepared during an emergency.

The emergency preparednessworkshops are free, but space islimited to 40 persons per session.To register, call the emergencymanagement office at 604-515-3794 or email [email protected].

Mother’s DayMother’s DayShop smart for your mom this Mother’s DayCome spring, shoppers often ask,

“What gift should I get Mom forMother’s Day?” How do people

transform the sentiments they have fortheir mother into gifts that represent loveand devotion? Buying a Mother’s Daygift is no easy task, especially for thosewho wait until the last minute to do theirshopping. Here are some ways to shop ina smart manner.

• Do some sleuthing. Play detective andtake inventory of what Mom likes to dothe most. If you ask your mother whatshe wants, she will likely brush off thequestion and tell you nothing. It is upto you to do the investigative work. Payattention to conversations and see ifthere is anything she mentions wantingto try or something around the housethat may need updating. Practical giftsare less likely to end up unopened in thebasement or attic.

• Check expiration dates. Gift certificatesand cards for particular stores or servicesare popular come Mother’s Day. But itis essential to check expiration dates onthe certificates or find gifts, as there is agood chance Mom will put off pamperingherself and you would not want the giftto expire before she has a chance touse it. In compliance with the law, chainrestaurant gift cards don’t expire for atleast five years from purchase.

• Verify a business. Although Mom maylove a cute boutique that just opened,verify the business before buying agift card from it. An unpredictableeconomy has made it even harder fornew businesses to succeed, and you don’twant Mom to be stuck with a worthlessgift card should the new business notthrive. If she really likes a particular newbusiness, take her on a shopping spree atthe store instead.

• Skip the chocolate overload. Flowersand chocolates are traditional Mother’sDay gifts. However, calorie-consciouswomen may not want to be faced withthe temptation of a warehouse-sized boxof chocolate treats. If Mom truly loveschocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece ortwo, but don’t make that your main gift.

• Avoid “final sale” items. It canbe tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at Mom’s favourite storewhen retailers cut prices on items inanticipation of a new season. However,these sales may come with restrictions onreturns or exchanges. Unless you knowMom will like what you pick out, avoidthe “final sale” racks in favour of itemsthat can be returned or exchanged.

A GreatMother’s DayGift for Mom!

Mother’s DayMother’s DayCelebrating more than moms on Mother’s Day

Every spring individuals celebrate their motherson Mother’s Day. It has evolved from a day tohonour mothers to one that recognizes all special

women. Therefore, if there is a woman in one’s lifewho isn’t a biological mother — but special nonetheless— Mother’s Day can be a time to tell her how much sheis appreciated.

There are many reasons a person may want to honoura woman that is not his or her mother. Perhapsthe person’s own mother has passed away or is notprominent in this individual’s life. Maybe there is agrandmother or aunt with whom one is especially close.There may be a teacher or mentor that has touched thelife of a person in a special way.

Although Mother’sDay is built aroundgiving thanks toMom, it’s certainlyacceptable to thankwomen in additionto dear old Mom.Furthermore, oneneedn’t wait until aspecific day in Mayto honor a notablewoman. This can bedone all year longwith certain gesturesand sentiments.

For those who arecelebrating all

women on Mother’s Day, here are some ways to set theday apart.

* Create a handmade card with personalized sentimentsthat reflect the unique relationship with this specialwoman. This can mean more than a prepurchased cardthat may not offer the right words.

* Find out her interests and spend a day doing entirelywhat she wants to do. It doesn’t necessarily have to takeplace on Mother’s Day. A trip to a museum or a day atthe park — whatever it may be — can be a nice outing.

* Treat her to a special dinner. Ask about favouritefoods and create a meal at home. If dining out is a must,choose a day other than Mother’s Day to avoid thecrowds and have intimate moments with just the twoof you, especially if you are also honouring your ownmother on Mother’s Day.

* Find something you both enjoy and then go and dothat. Maybe you met up due to a hobby or interest.Remember the first day you met and reminisce byheading to that place for a celebration.

* Have an extended family fiesta. Host a Mother’s Dayparty at home and single out all the special women inattendance. Serve cocktails and enjoy the time spenttogether.

Mother’s Day is a special time of the year to honour notonly a person’s mom but also any other notable womanin his or her life. The holiday can be customized any waya person sees fit.

Corner captures history

The city blocks sur-rounding the cornerof Columbia and

Eighth Streets have been amajor focus of the down-town story since the cityplan was first surveyed.This corner has alwaysbeen a well-connected site.

There was access to theriver as well as links to thetrails and roads that head-ed off into the forestedlandscape surrounding thenew capital city’s location.The street junction wasbroad to accommodatecargo and people, incom-ing or outgoing. In time,the railroad would arriveand a streetcar transit sys-tem would open up moreterritory. One of the manystations from each of thesesystems remain downtowntoday.

A brief look at the vari-ous buildings and busi-nesses that have occupiedland near this corner sincethe city began in 1859 isvery informative. This cer-

tainly was one of the vitalcorners downtown and,for that matter, within theentire town.

On the waterfrontnearby there were docks,industry, boat moorage,fishing boats, public worksvessels, warehouses, coldstorage, and many others.As noted previously, therewere train tracks with spurlines, shipping landings,and even an impressivelarge u-shaped track toreroute freight cars andengines.

There were a numberof hotels, cafés, confec-tionery shops and the like,to serve a busy bustlingclientele. There was also agreat place for ice cream.There were hardwarestores, machine shops,two or three blacksmiths,a carpentry shop or two,and other similar busi-nesses. There were cloth-ing stores, tailors, placesto find boots and shoes,and more.

There were sewingshops, dry cleaners, res-taurants, purveyors ofproduce, meats and fish,all operated by hard work-ing Chinese and Japaneseentrepreneurs. There werelivery stables, a smallmovie house, and officesfor tug boats and otherriver-based firms.

One hardware storehad a marvellous signstanding out from thebusiness block – a hugepadlock. Another storenearby had a very bigclock with a suspendedpendulum below, mark-ing the entrance to thedowntown. A local hotelwas home to a radio sta-tion destined from day oneto be a prominent playerin the innovative mode ofentertainment.

This is but a simple andvery selective list fromthe area immediately sur-rounding Eighth Streetat Columbia – there aremany more examples tobe had.

It is on one of thecorners of this intersec-tion that the new civicstructure, to be known asthe Anvil Centre, is nowunder construction. Whencomplete it will take itsplace in the story of thisneighbourhood.

For a visual tour ofthis “Anvil Centre neigh-bourhood” through theyears, plan to come tothe New WestminsterHistorical Society eveningon Wednesday, May 15starting at 7:30 p.m. in thelibrary auditorium. You’llbe intrigued by the historyand captivated by the pic-tures.

◗ IN THE GAMEWinter club posts three players in WHL first-round hockey draft ◗P19Westminster United in Coastal B Cup final on Sunday ◗P19

Olympic search is on at the lakeIt takes an individual

with unique talents to rowcompetitively. A personneeds to be strong, talland athletic in order torace along the water in thenarrow row boats. Theyneed a good lung capacity,especially when it comesdown to the final strokes,and they need the longlimbs required to make theoar strokes.

According to 2008Olympic gold-medal-ist, Ben Rutledge, onlyabout one in 10,000 peoplewould meet the physicalrequirements it takes to bea professional rower.

Rutledge began his row-ing career in his secondyear of university. It washis tall stature that caughtthe eye of a rowing coach.From there, Rutledgetrained with coaches andmentors in Canada’s row-ing program. He later wenton to win seven WorldCup medals, three worldchampionship titles, anOlympic gold medal andin 2009 he was inductedinto the B.C. Sports Hallof Fame.

Canadian rowers havewon 40 medals at theOlympic games, includ-ing nine gold. Because ofCanada’ strong rowers, theprogram was given a largegrant in order to createa development programthat will actively searchout potential rowers andtrain them to become thecountry’s next champions.

Row to Podium wasthe result of the fund-ing. The program targetshigh school students fromGrades 10 to 12 who haveno experience in rowing,

but have specific traitsthat suit the sport. Traitslike height, strength andendurance are very impor-tant to being successful inthe sport, Rutledge said.

“We’re trying to identi-fy Canada’s next Olympicand Paralympic champi-ons,” he said. “We’re look-ing for people with someunique, exceptional physi-cal capabilities.”

Row to Podium coach-es have been building

relationships with highschools across the country,including Burnaby, to tryto identify which studentscould potentially fit thenecessary criteria.

The program hosted arecent recruitment nightat Burnaby 8 Rinks. Theyinvited students from thecommunity to come outand participate in twophysical tests to determinewhether or not they havethe necessary cardiovascu-

lar endurance and bodystrength.

Burnaby North senior,Layla Balooch was one ofthese unique finds thatRutledge came across ata high school volleyballgame more than a yearago.

“I happened to stum-ble upon her at the vol-leyball game and askedher to come along and dothe tests,” he said. “Shehas since stopped playing

volleyball and she loves(rowing). It’s a tough sportand it requires a certainmindset and drive, but sheloves it and is showingsome great signs of futuresuccess.”

Balooch placed sev-enth overall in the juniorwomen’s single sculls atRowing Canada’s Aviron’sSpring Trials at BurnabyLake on April 20. This was

The Burnaby Winter Club and BurnabyCentral Secondary School are joining forc-es to form a midget hockey academythat will compete in the Canadian SportsSchool Hockey League this fall.

The elite school league, founded in2009, will compete in an under-18 prepdivision for grades 11 and 12 students anda new elite 15s division against academyteams from Alberta, the Okanagan andLower Mainland teams from Abbotsfordand South Delta.

“Strategically we needed to be in thisgame and here we are doing it,” said BWCgeneral manager Len McNeely.

The school league differs from BurnabyNorth’s school academy in that it caters to

a specific elite age group.The academy also is not in direct

competition with the existing B.C. majormidget hockey league and the NorthwestGiants, which also practises and plays atthe winter club.

The prep team is most likely to be madeup of players who will not make it on amajor midget roster.

The elite 15s addresses an age-groupgap on most existing major midget clubsand an opportunity for 15-year-old play-ers to compete in something other thanwhat exists at the association level, saidMcNeely.

“Few (15-year-olds) made it on majormidget teams. There was a void there andan important need to play at a higher levelof competition. It’s addressing that par-ticular void,” he added.

Ian Gallagher, director of hockey opera-tions at the South Delta academy, was amain driver in helping expand the exist-ing school league to include a total ofnine teams in one or the other of the twodivisions.

The Burnaby Winter Club will competein both divisions, along with South Delta,Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton,Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna, EdgeSchool Sports in Calgary and BanffAcademy.

Former Greater Vancouver major midg-et coach Leland Mack, who also spent twoseasons as an assistant with the Giants,will be the head coach of the youngerelite school team. A coach for the prepteam will be named at a later date, saidMcNeely.

The winter club academy will offer elite

coaching, high school graduation credits,a more than 50-game schedule, as well ason-ice and dry land training.

Players will be selected based on evalu-ation skates likely to be held later thismonth. The teams will train and competefrom September to June. Acadamy play-ers would also be eligible to affiliate withjunior teams, said McNeely.

The academy program was approvedby the Burnaby School District last week.

The moves will not affect the existingaffiliations the winter club has with theNW Giants and the Grandview Steelersof the Pacific Junior Hockey League, saidMcNeely.

Burnaby Winter Club’s midget A1 repteam will also still be available for clubmembers to compete with at the PacificCoast association level.

New Westminster drewfirst blood in the B.C. JuniorLacrosse League rivalrywith Coquitlam.

ThejuniorASalmobellieswon their season homeopener, defeating theAdanacs 10-8 at Queen’sPark Arena on Tuesday.

The ’Bellies held off alate A’s rally in the finalstanza with a pair of spe-cial team tallies, includingthe game-winning goal ona power play by first-yearintermediate Kamloopsproduct Jeremy Bosher at15:40 of the third period.

The 17-year-old Bosher,who will be aged up withthe junior team this season,scored his first-ever juniorA goal with the second ofNew West’s three short-handed goals, and also setup Josh Byrne with the firstshortie in the opening per-iod following a great spe-cial teams rag.

Bosher and Byrne ledthe junior ’Bellies with twogoals and one assist apiece.

“It’s my first game ofjunior A. I’m just gettinga taste of it. I’m going toenjoy it,” said Bosher, whowill be headed south ona field lacrosse scholarshipafter graduation. “It’s justthe beginning of the sea-son. We can only go upfrom here and that’s whatwe’re doing.”

her third competition since she begantraining.

Balooch said that it’s taken a lot of hardwork to get ready for competition. Beforejoining the program, she didn’t reallyknow much about the sport of rowingother than what she had seen on televi-sion.

“I knew what rowing was, but I didn’treally know how difficult it was, or the factthat it was even a cardio sport,” Baloochsaid.

The Burnaby native’s ranking at thespring trials will help coaches and pro-gram officials determine whether or not

she’ll be chosen for a national team oneday, which is Balooch’s ultimate goal.

But she admits it’ll take some morework before she’s ready for any worldcompetitions.

“When you actually (row) there’s somuch to think about,” she said. “Everystroke is different, and you always have anew thing to think about.”

Until then Balooch will continue hertraining with Rutledge and the Row toPodium program while, hopefully attend-ing the University of B.C. next September.

The Salmonbellies ledthroughout the contest,building a 6-4 lead headinginto the final frame follow-ing back-to-back 3-2 effortsin the first two periods.

But Coquitlam tookadvantage of some oppor-tunistic penalty calls, firingthree goals with the manadvantage to knot the scoreat 8-8 on Steven Neufeld’shattrick marker.

Three minutes later,Bosher scored from thehigh post. Reese Robinsoniced the game with a loose-ball turnover at mid courtand scored into the emptynet to ice the Salmonbellies’first win of the season.

International FAIR TRADE DAY May 11, 2013.Choices has been the proud recipient of local and national Fair Trade awards since 2010. What is Fair Trade?According to Fair Trade Canada Fair Trade is a different way of doing business. It is about making principles of fairness anddecency mean something in the marketplace. It seeks to change the terms of trade for the products we buy – to ensure thefarmers and artisans behind those products get a better deal. Most often this is understood to mean better prices for producers,but it often means longer-term and more meaningful trading relationships as well. Visit www.fairtrade.canada.ca
