Walkers may not have to push a button Grant [email protected]

New Westminster is looking at getting rid of pedestrian-activated walk signals at busy intersections in favour of automatic ones.

City council directed its staff to investigate the viability of several lights where walkers don’t have to push a button at some of the busier crossings to activate the walk signal.

Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue is the only intersection in the city where the walk signal comes on automatically.

The move is a reaction to a recommendation from the city’s transit, bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee. It’s now chaired by newly elected Coun. Patrick Johnstone, who has served on the committee in the past as a community member.

Johnstone cited Sixth Avenue and Eighth Street and Columbia and Fourth, Sixth, Eighth and Begbie streets as being intersections where an automatic signal might be appropriate.

The biggest issue, he said, is the bird chirping audible alarms disturbing nearby residents at night.

Could a monitored alarm have alerted crews early enough to stop the fire?chris [email protected]

Could the iconic E.L. Lewis Block on Columbia Street, known to many for its Copp’s Shoes storefront, have been saved from a catastrophic fire on Oct. 10, 2013?

That’s the question that arises when one listens to the 911 call that alerted fire crews to the massive blaze that levelled the 1904 building,

and spread to the 1899 Hambley Block next door.

“Do you see any flames at all?” the 911 operator says about a minute into the call.

“I don’t see any flames but there is a whole lot of smoke coming out of the building,” says the caller.

What he says next is surprising.“I noticed it, uh, about an hour

ago, but I thought it was just clouds

’cause I couldn’t smell any smoke.”The caller, Nathan Cole, said he’d

been out walking his dog when he first noticed the smoke.

“I had seen what looked like fog, or cloud, on an adjacent street. But I didn’t smell smoke so I just thought it was a weird fog,”

Cole told the NewsLeader. “When you look down towards the river, it’s not unusual to see fog.”

He returned to his apartment across the way on Clarkson Street, worked on his computer a while, and later smelled smoke so he went outside again to investigate—at which time the smoke coming from the back of the building was obvious.

And as he would mention moments later to the 911 operator, he could hear two local alarms in the building.

The call went in at 3:33 a.m.

Could Copp’s building have been saved?Alix coté/contributeD

Fire breaks out in the wee hours of oct. 13, 2013 at the corner of mackenzie and Columbia streets. the blaze destroyed half a block of Downtown new westminster heritage.

HELP SHAPE YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENTDo you live, work, play or go to school in New Westminster?

Do you have opinions about crime, policing & public safety?

The New Westminster Police need to hear from you!

From December 1st to January 15th 2015, please visit www.nwpolice.org to fi ll out a brief anonymous survey.

Survey results will help guide our police services for the next several years.

We need your voice to do our job!

GRADE 5 GET ACTIVE AND GRADE 6 STAY ACTIVE PROGRAM APPLICATION DEADLINEParent and students are reminded that the deadline to apply for the Grade 5 Get Active and the Grade 6 Stay Active programs is quickly approaching! December 31, 2014 is the fi nal day to apply for these programs. All eligible students received their application forms in early October through all public and private schools and the Home Learners Program. If you require an additional form, they can be picked up at your school or at any New Westminster Parks, Culture and Recreation facility.

ART IN THE LIBRARYTwo very diff erent shows brighten the walls of the New Westminster Public Library in December.

On the Ramp, Piroja Amrolia and Zenobia Turnbull present their show Stored Memories. In their statement, the artists explain that our minds store everything we have every sensed. While our active memory has long put them aside, it just takes something minor to trigger them - a fl eeting image on the street, one outburst of laughter, a spike in temperature, the smell of fresh rain, a singular gesture. A host of memories welcome or not, rush back. Their paintings for this show, mainly watercolour and with some oil, pastel and acrylic, have been inspired by these off beat, unprovoked memories.

In the Reference Department is Moments Captured on Canvas, the black and white, and colour photographs of Douglas Dorsett. Billed by the Guardian Newspaper in London as one of the top urban photographers in the world to follow on Instagram, Dorsett is described as a high contrast urban photographer and is drawn to empty streets on dreary mornings. From vibrant front doors to lonely walks in the rain, his photographs are striking.

The art can be viewed at any time during library open hours.

SAFETY TIPS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERSPEDESTRIANS:

• Enhance your visibility, especially after dark. Wear light-coloured or fl uorescent clothing, or attach a light or a refl ective strip to your clothing.

• Stay alert. Watch out for drivers turning into an intersection from left and right. Try to make eye contact with all nearby drivers before stepping out onto the street.

• Don’t assume a crosswalk or a green light at an intersection makes you safe. Ensure drivers see you before you step out from the curb.

• Especially if you know you may be slower in crossing a road, give yourself the most time to cross by waiting for a newly turned green or walk signal.

• Look left, right and left again before crossing the street, and be on the lookout for turning or backing vehicles.

• Keep scanning for vehicles as you cross.

• Hold your hand up or do whatever it takes to make yourself more visible to drivers.

MOTORISTS:

• Stay alert. Don’t be distracted by activities that take your mind off driving or your eyes off the road. Watch carefully for pedestrians when approaching any crosswalk or intersection.

• Ensure all pedestrians have cleared the road before proceeding.

• Take special care to watch for pedestrians or other vulnerable road users when making a left-hand turn.

• Watch especially carefully for the elderly or mobility-challenged. Recognize it may take them longer than average to complete a safe crossing.

Excerpt of Oct. 13, 2013 911 call(Call received: 3:33.28 a.m.)

911 Operator (O): Fire Department

Caller (C): Hi there – Ah, I’m in New West, on Columbia Street, one of the buildings here is on fire.

O: Okay. Columbia and… What’s the closest intersection or the address?

C: MacKenzie and Front Street I think is where the building is.

O: Okay. What kind of a building is it?

C: Ah, it’s one of the, uh, commercial buildings.

O: Okay, and do you have an address? So do you see flames, do you see smoke, what do you see?

C: Uh, a whole lotta smoke.O: What colour is the smoke?C: What?O: What colour is the smoke?C: Uh… white,O: Is it possibly steam? Is it

getting bigger?C: No, no, it smells like smoke,

it is most definitely… And there’s an alarm going off in the building.

O: Okay…. And smells like what? What kind of smoke? Like, electrical, wood…?

C: Wood.O: ‘Kay… Okay.C: And there’s another alarm.O: Okay. Can you see a name on

that building? We’re already on our way.

C: Okay. Ah, well, Golden Brides is on the corner of MacKenzie and, uh, Columbia. But it appears to be the building behind it. Ah, there’s like a barber shop and I don’t know what building it is on Front Street…

O: Okay. C: …I’d have to walk down

there.O: So, but it’s basically Front

Street and MacKenzie? Can you tell me which corner it’s on? Is it, like the North, uh… east or west of MacKenzie?

C: North… ah… east… corner.O: Okay. Northeast corner?C: Yeah.

The fire in New West’s heritage heart soon became enormous, with flames soaring into the air. Crews from Burnaby and Delta came to assist, and there were nine apparatus and 40 fire fighters actively fighting the blaze.

But it was soon a battle of containment. The E.L. Lewis building would be leveled, along with much of the half-block.

There was no monitored fire alarm in the Lewis Block.

Owners of the building, long-time Copp’s Shoes owner Terry Brine and his business partner Bill Lewis, did not pay a private company like ADT or Accurate for the service.

It’s an optional thing.Same goes for multi-family

residential, although both commercial and multi-faily residential buildings must have a local alarm.

Older buildings often don’t even require that—they’re governed by the building code at the time they were built. Only if they do major renovations would they be required to meet current code.

So: Could a monitored system have got crews out earlier, considering smoke may have been visible outside as much as an hour before the 911 call?

Could a more timely response have prevented the entire block from being destroyed?

Brine tries not to speculate too much.

“It perhaps goes through your mind, [but] once it’s happened it’s happened… there’s not much you can do about it… you try to deal

with what happened today and try to deal with the tragedy of the loss from your point of view and the tenants’ point of view.”

With the police station half a block away, he says, and a lot of people always in the area, “you feel somewhat safe.”

He admits, though, to wondering what might have

happened if a call had gone into the fire department an hour earlier.

Of course, no one knows how much earlier a monitored alarm could have got the crews out. Would

just 10, 15 minutes have put them there early enough to gain the upper hand?

FIre’s Cause unknOwn

The cause of the fire was never determined. It burned too hot, New Westminster fire chief Tim Armstrong said, and so left no clues.

That week, roofers had been at work on the back of the E.L. Lewis Block.

Armstrong said the fire could have started in the ceiling or roof area and gone undetected for quite some time.

“Even a smoke detector, depending on where the fire originated, if the fire wasn’t in the actual store area, it might take some time before the smoke would penetrate down into that area,” Armstrong said.

As well, Brine points out that 911 caller Nathan Cole did not hear any local alarms sounding when he noticed what he first thought was fog an hour earlier.

Though there was a proper fire separation between the Lewis Block and the Hambley Block, including a parapet (raised roof edge), the fire was too intense to be stopped.

“They had a good fire separation between the buildings, the problem with that fire was that… basically the fire jumped that fire separation,” said Armstrong. “It wasn’t going through the building, it was going up and over. Once [the fire] got going to the top of the

roof, that was brand new tar… that was like pouring gasoline—you’ve got petroleum product exposed over the whole rooftop, and once that got going it was like ‘boom,’ instantly it took off, and we had flames 30, 40 feet in the air. They just started lapping onto the next roof.”

COLLateraL damage

Hambley Block owner Jim Chappell is still angry.

His building still stood after the fire, but was so badly damaged it was written off days later.

It had a monitored alarm, and he’s frustrated the Lewis Block did not.

“Even two, three minutes make a hell of a

difference,” Chappell said.“They have to make a bylaw

that says every residential building, and every commercial building should be monitored.”

Fire chief Armstrong, Chappell and other commercial property owners say there are many commercial buildings in New West without monitored alarms.

The cost for monitoring a commercial building ranges from $60 to $80 a month.

Insurance companies may provide a discount to monitored buildings, but insurance is a competitive industry and each insurer is different, said Celyeste Power of the Insurance

Bureau of Canada. There is no industry-wide requirement for monitoring as a pre-requisite to qualify for insurance, Power said.

Armstrong said it’s tough for cities to create a bylaw, because exceeding the National Fire Code opens municipalities up to legal challenge. “In a perfect world, we’d love to have all buildings sprinkled and have mandatory monitoring,” he said.

But alarms—monitored or not—can create a false sense of security, according to the fire chief.

In January, a massive fire at Ash Street and Fourth Avenue destroyed a three-storey apartment building and left occupants of the 32 units homeless. Armstrong said some wondered why fire crews took so long to arrive.

Problem was, they weren’t alerted as quickly as they could have been. Often, he said, alarm bells are ringing in a building, so people assume they’re ringing in the station. So no one calls 911. Meantime, a call is going to an alarm company, and someone there is calling back, hoping to speak to a building manager to see if it’s a false alarm.

The minutes pass.When the company finally

calls fire dispatch, they have to process the call—third-hand from an alarm company that doesn’t really have any information.

“If you start adding it all up…” Armstrong said, “and that’s if it’s a monitored system.”

If there’s a lesson from this, it’s to call 911.

“If nobody calls, the minutes go by, and it’s valuable minutes for us to come out and knock the fire down,” Armstrong said.

As far as his building is concerned, Jim Chappell is still sorting out his insurance claim.

“It’s not so clear cut,” he said, adding he’s working on plans to present to the city.

“We have something but it’s not finalized.”

Terry Brine said he feels bad for Chappell and for the tenants in both buildings.

“I feel for Jim,” Brine said. “He suffers as much as anybody. I can understand his anger… let’s build something we can be proud of. Whether it’ll be us or someone else, there’ll be something there. I’d like to see something bigger and better than what was there before.”

Brine ran Copp’s Shoes for 42 years before retiring and closing the shop in January 2013. His grandfather, J.P. Copp, started the business in 1925.

He’s still dealing with the fallout from that night in 2013.

“It was like losing a part of your family. It’s been in my family for 75, 80 years. It was like losing a friend.”

Plans are in the works for a Second World War vintage hall in Downtown New Westminster to be converted into a church.

The World Christian Fellowship Church has worked out a heritage revitalization agreement with the city for 336 Agnes St.

Dontenwill Hall was designed by the well-known, Vancouver-based architectural firm of Twizell & Twizell and was built in 1940 by the Catholic Church to replace the hall that burned down next door.

World Christian Fellowship has agreed to retain and restore the exterior and place a long-term legal protection on the property to make sure the heritage features are retained.

New Westminster’s Pattison Architecture, which specializes in heritage buildings, is listed as the project’s architect.

A heritage conservation plan submitted to city council said, “this stucco-clad, rational building design with a broad, Modernist-inspired facade, illustrates the post-depression shift from traditional and ‘historic’ architectural influences to a forward-looking aesthetic.”

The hall was a hubbub of activity in its early days.

It was listed in the city directories as Dontenwill Gym Club. It had lockers, change rooms, showers, a Finnish steam room and a large gym.

The second floor above the lobby had a club room, a small stage, kitchen and

offices for the Knights of Columbus.

It served as a recreational facility for the Catholic Church’s St. Peter’s School from 1953 to its closing in 1973.

The church sold the hall, named after Bishop Augustin Dontenwill, in November 2003.

Although the city’s official community plan designates the property for low-rise residential, a public hearing on the church’s proposal is expected to be held in the spring.

Church to convert former gym

The Dontenwill Hall, named for Bishop Augustin Dontenwill, is poised to be restored and receive heritage protection.

Following are highlights from Tom Fletcher’s year-end interview with NDP leader John Horgan. For an extended version, see the Opinion section at www.newwestnewsleader.com.

TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think?JH: I’ve always maintained

that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-9-10-12 billion onto the backs of ratepayers.

First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it. The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process.TF: You voted for the liquefied

natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started. How is that certainty?

JH: I thought it was important that the investment community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia. But we went from a seven per cent [tax] to a 3.5 per cent because of a softening market.

If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period – not just between now and 2017, but if the market conditions change and prices go up – I think British Columbians would want their government to make sure they were getting a fair share of that benefit.TF: Why did you vote against

the LNG environmental legislation?JH: They said prior to the

election that LNG would be

the greenest in the world. And then when they tabled legislation they left out 70 per cent of the emissions from upstream activity.TF: Gordon Campbell’s great

goal for greenhouse gases, 33 per cent reduction by 2020, can that be reached assuming a substantial LNG development?JH: I find it difficult to believe

that they’re going to achieve those results. [Environment Minister] Mary Polak has a different point of view, and our job as opposition is to hold them accountable to the numbers that they passed into law, and we’re going to do that.

One of the three sectors, housing, energy and transportation, where emission profiles can be managed downward is transportation. And the government has wasted 18 months talking about a referendum on [Metro Vancouver transit.]TF: What’s your top priority

for 2015?JH: I think the public is going

to increasingly find affordability issues to be the challenge. We

didn’t spend as much time as I had hoped to on hydro rate increases, ICBC. When the government balanced the budget, they did it by selling assets, and by increasing costs at their Crown corporations and then pulling that revenue in for budget purposes.

We’re going to have to use new technologies and means of communication to better explain to people what the government’s doing to them.TF: What should happen with

the agricultural land reserve?JH: I don’t think there was

a groundswell of opposition to the ALR, quite the opposite in fact, and the commission has in my opinion, infinite flexibility to meet the demands of development in northern areas as well as urban centres.

I’m going to make sure that [agriculture critic] Lana Popham, who as you know is fearless on this issue, is let loose on [Agriculture Minister] Norm Letnick, and we’re going to dog this issue up to the next election.

Horgan on LNG, climate, farmland

This is not a good time to be looking for a parking spot at the mall.

The final week before Christmas can be a harried, stressful time for shoppers seeking that perfect gift to place under the tree.

For many, it can also be too much for their bank accounts to bear.

According to the Bank of Montreal, 11 per cent of Canadians expect to go into debt to pay for their holiday spending.

A survey last year by the Investors Group said almost one in four Canadians felt helpless trying to control their spending during the holiday season, and 68 per cent of those over spenders admitted their lack of fiscal discipline over Christmas reflects how they handle their money the rest of the year.

Of course retailers, banks and credit card companies are only too quick to exploit the pleasure we get from shopping.

Stores trumpet deals for no money down, no payments for 12 months, then bury the costs of such transactions, or the interest rate if the balance isn’t fully paid, in minuscule fine print.

Banks extend lines of credit, float loans against home equity.

Credit card companies expect only minimal monthly payments to maintain your standing. Some even send blank cheques, urging recipients to use them “like cash.”

All to keep us spending.We’re only too happy to oblige.BMO says Canadians will

spend an average of $1,517 this holiday season.

Sadly, too many can’t afford to spend that much. Thirty-one per cent of Canadians surveyed by Investors Group said they’re concerned by their excessive spending. Another 18 per cent said their holiday season is ruined by their worries over how to pay for their indulgences.

When it comes to holiday shopping, it’s often a case of short-term pleasure followed by long-term pain.

COMMENTIs this what New Westminster

civic politics has come to?We have David Brett, who

blames the fact he failed to get elected to city council on the “machine” and the NDP! But when I asked him three times to provide specific answers on his plans to deal with the traffic problem in New West it took a letter to this paper to get an answer.

And even then his answers were vague at best.

Relying on “your management and leadership experience” won’t get you very far in this game David!

And then there is Harm Woldring. A man I had never even heard about until he started spamming Facebook pages with dry stats.

And as for thinking “there’s a need for term limits in civic politics,” that, sir, is what elections are for.

Not a very good way to impress voters.

And now John Ashdown is telling us that it is up to us to hold city council accountable.

Again—that’s what elections are for!

I say to these three candidates and all the others that are blaming the labour council and members of the NDP for there failure to get elected:

Suck it up.Where were your

endorsements from the business community? And I guess the Liberals couldn’t be bothered with you.

I don’t want someone who will be whining and blaming someone else every time something doesn’t go their way. And I sure don’t want a Liberal lacky representing me and my city.

What ever happened to being a gracious loser?

And what happened to taking responsibility for your own actions?

David TateNew Westminster

RIGHT IDEA, WRONG PLACE

I have a hard time understanding how Ms. Beaumont can say that parents do not park their cars on Third Street or drop off there.

The congestion of cars and people at drop off and pick up times is horrendous.

The school is abuzz of activity during both of these times, which one would expect. Has Ms. Beaumont never

walked up half a block to Queens Avenue at these times and seen the amount of cars?

That’s with enrolment as it is today.

What can we neighbours expect if this expansion project is allowed to happen?

We are very protective of our quiet lovely streets and adding more traffic is ridiculous. I live just two blocks from Urban Academy, a street one only needs to go down if you live on that street as it is technically a dead end.

The amount of traffic during the peak times for the school has risen drastically on our street with parents trying to find shortcuts.

I cannot begin to imagine what the congestion will be like when you add hundreds of more students.

And to say the parents all park in the parking lot on Fourth Street is silly.

We all know as parents that if it is raining we try and get our children as close to the school as possible.

I am not opposed to what the school wants to do, just where they want to do it.

Diane McQuadeNew Westminster

THE ULTIMATE ‘RENOVICTION’Re: New apartments rising from ashes on Ash Street

Once again lower income residents are pushed to the curb. Fewer bachelor/studio apartments means few of the people who lost homes in the fire will be able to return to the neighborhood. Priced off of the block they called home. This is the ultimate in ‘renoviction.’

Just because it was fortune that made this bit of gentrification possible doesn’t mean the bottom line result for residents isn’t the same.

Perhaps the newly elected council will walk the left wing talk and use their four-year tenure to assure our homeless of a room of their own? And perhaps even end the nightmare of people paying on average $800 out of a $900 pension (disability or old age median) for shelter?

Hopefully they will prioritize their efforts bottom up—rather than merely pursue better deals for labour.

Gentrified rental housing like living wage legislation is fine for those who qualify—but it undermines the well-being of

those on fixed income. Several of the re-elected councillors have talked the good talk lamenting the lot of our poor.

Now they have no excuse for failing them.

Our council has built quite the Anvil Centre for the enjoyment of the elite few who’ll routinely make use of it. Was it $60 million? Which means we must have money to build several hundred subsidized units to give our destitute decent places to waste away—and more than enough to institute a program to rebate much of the cost of electricity to those on fixed and low income.

I, for one, would be far more proud of my adoptive city if I could look up at the corner of Eighth and Columbia streets and know hundreds had cozy affordable suites rather than those echoing galleries.

The Anvil (and apartments planned to replace old affordable ones) prove one of two things: either we have the funds to do right by our disabled and aged, or we’re so morally bankrupt we bought ourselves the equivalent of a home theatre rather than a warm safe place to live for our aged, disabled and children.

CLINIC CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYSRe: Mom ticked off at clinic’s stroller ban

This clinic really wants to be a medical spa performing facials and injections, etc.

For whatever reason they’ve decided to also double as a walk-in clinic, although they make it very apparent they do not want kids and families visiting.

You can’t have it both ways. As a parent, your stroller is

frequently your only means of transportation and storage on each trip outside.

If you want parents to fold them up and put them aside, fine, but the clinic’s ugly laminate floor isn’t a good enough reason to potentially have my stroller stolen.

He suggested where that’s the case a hybrid system of automatic and pedestrian activated might be a good solution.

Mayor Jonathan Coté cited Downtown Vancouver where pedestrians at busy intersections don’t have to push buttons to get a walk signal.

“At some of the busier pedestrian intersections [in New West] there’s no need to have the push-button controls. They have to go out of their way to push the button sometimes,” said Coté. “You don’t make drivers get out of their car to get the light to change.”

On the committee’s recommendation, the city is also collaborating with ICBC on a pedestrian visibility education campaign.

Pedestrian signals Pedestrian killed on BrunetteA 52-year-old New Westminster woman pedestrian

was killed in an apparent hit-and-run incident on Brunette Avenue last Wednesday evening.

Witnesses told police the woman was hit by a westbound tractor trailer truck on Brunette between Keary and East Columbia streets.

The truck driver did not remain at the scene.When police arrived they found the woman

deceased. The NWPD is seeking witnesses and acknowledged

it’s possible the driver that hit her may not have realized there was a collision.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the NWPD at 604-525-5411. The investigation is being carried out by the NWPD Collision Analysis Reconstruction Team.

Coté trims councillor reports

Mayor Jonathan Coté has decided to dump the reports delivered by councillors at the end of every city council meeting.

Instead, he has instituted an announcement section when councillors can promote an upcoming event, deliver thank yous or acknowledge someone’s passing.

Councillors will also be able to give presentations at the beginning of the meeting on topics they might be working on, or to report on a conference they attended.

“This would be a more valuable and useful way to demonstrate the good work we will be doing in the community and not spend 45 minutes to an hour reading our calendar from the past week,” said Coté.

COMMUNITYcornerOil spills risk, response and readinessI n everything we do, there is

risk. From the simple act of

crossing the street, to driving a car, investing our earnings or bringing forward new ideas, there are always risks.

But we don’t let it stop us. We try our best to understand those risks and prepare for them.

Life and economic activity near our streams, rivers and oceans also carry risks, to us and to those waterways. We can’t hide from those risks either. What we can and should do is understand those risks as much as we can, and do all we can to prepare for and mitigate them.

This past August an interesting exercise was launched on the B.C. coast. The Raincoast Conservation Foundation, the Georgia Strait Alliance and Friends of the San Juans (U.S.) teamed up with the City of Vancouver to simulate an oil spill on the Fraser River and in Burrard

Inlet. To illustrate how oil from a spill could travel, they released more than 1,000 biodegradable, yellow, plywood drift cards. Each card is marked with a serial number so it can be reported on a website when found and collected by ordinary citizens. The innovators of this exercise hope that the information collected will help map the paths that oil spills might take and how far the oil may travel.

While the exercise is certainly an interesting way to approach the subject and bring awareness to the risk of oil spills on our coast, it only tells one part of the story. The path and distance these cards will travel is only accurate assuming there will

be absolutely no emergency response to the spill and that a spill would be free to travel unchecked, unattended and unaltered for an unspecified length of time down river and along our coast.

On western Canada’s coast, there is a sophisticated and experienced spill response team ready to act at a moment’s notice. Western Canada Marine Response Corporation’s (WCMRC) mandate is to ensure a state of preparedness is in place and to mitigate the impact when an oil spill occurs. The team is trained to respond to oil spills of various sizes and under a variety of circumstances and conditions.

Port Metro Vancouver handles a minimum of 500,000 tonnes of oil annually. In the event of an oil spill within the designated port area, WCMRC must deploy its team on scene in six to 12 hours, depending on the size of the spill.

Their average response time in the Lower Mainland over the last decade is 60 minutes.

With 17 vessels strategically located around Burrard Inlet and sophisticated equipment with a combined recovery rate of over 200 tonnes of product per hour, the response should be swift and effective.

But there is also a third part of this story, related to risk and uncertainty.

It is no coincidence that many of the words I have used above are not definitive—like “could,” “may” and “should.”

And that’s because—thankfully—we haven’t had a major oil spill on our part of the west coast.

So there are too many variables to make any definitive conclusions. Where a spill might travel, and how long—and effective—the clean up would be, would depend on the

quantity and the type of spill and where it was spilled and under which circumstances.

But the more we understand about emergency planning and preparedness, the better.

That includes factual information from producers, responders and those concerned about the threat of oil spills. It also involves learning from simulations like the one above, as well as full-blown exercises with all interested stakeholders and the general public.

Only by all of us understanding as clearly as possible the facts behind what might happen, how we are prepared for it, and what we will do in that extremely unfortunate event, will we have the chance to be ready.

Catherine Ouellet-Martin is executive director of the

Fraser River Discovery Centre.

A CHRISTMASto remember

SANTA CLAUS the man behind the beard


The man behind the beardEvery Christmas Eve, children go to

bed eagerly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way.

Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrificially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own.

Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him.

It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others.

Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death.

His charity and unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faithful, and

he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from merchants to sailors to pawnbrokers.

No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a forensic laboratory in England reviewed historical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s. Researchers concluded he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet tall, with a broken nose.

This image certainly does not fit with the robust frame and other imagery awarded St. Nicholas in more modern years. St. Nicholas is believed to be the inspiration for Santa Claus, which was a name taken from the Dutch Sinterklaas, a contracted form of Sint Nicolass, or St. Nicholas.

Santa Claus is believed to have evolved from Nicholas, who had a reputation for secret gift giving, believing it should be done in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own.

Traditions vary from family to family, but many families share a love of holiday songs and carols at this time of year.

Many notable performers have lent their voices to timeless classics or created entirely new songs that have gone on to become perennial favourites.

Every year new singers showcase their talents with Christmas releases, and 2014 is no different.

Holiday albums available this year include country artists’ collaborations, a carol collection from a singer-songwriter and a surprise swing-jazz release from an actor and voiceover artist.

• Grammy-winning vocalist Michael W. Smith teams up with a bevy of country music greats on his “Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmas.” Popular artists Lady Antebellum, Jennifer Nettles, Little Big Town, and

even U2’s Bono appear on this album, which features an orchestral flavor. The album is Smith’s fourth holiday release.

• Those looking for another Christmas album to freshen up their collections can look to “Sings Christmas Carols” from Mark Koselek. The singer-songwriter and frontman for the band Sun Kil Moon lends his baritone and guitar chops to several classic Christmas carols, including “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and “The First Noel.”

• Seth MacFarlane may have Oscar and Grammy nominations to his name, but soon he will have a Christmas album to his credit as well. MacFarlane recorded “Holiday for Swing” during the holiday season last year. The release follows MacFarlane’s critically acclaimed musical debut, “Music Is Better Than Words.” The actor collaborates with

Norah Jones, Sarah Bareilles and others on the tracks, which have a jazz-blues feel.

In case you happened to miss the release of the variety of Christmas albums last year, choose among “I Wanna Go Surfin’ With Santa,” by the Hollyberries; “Horror Xmas,” from The Misfits; “Snow Globe,” by Erasure; or “On This Winter’s Night,” from Lady Antebellum.

If you’re seeking some distinctly Canadian music with a Christmas angle, you might try the Meaghan Smith album It Snowed, with “Christmas Kiss,” “Zat You Santa” and “Breakable.”

Joni Mitchell’s “River” is considered a Christmas song as is Gordon Lightfoot’s “Song for a Winter’s Night.” And one of the most popular Canadian Christmas songs is Bryan Adams’ “Christmas Time.”

Santa’s helpers at Age Care’s Harmony Court Estate were busy wrapping up their Christmas to Remember program last week to spread holiday cheer to lonely and/or financially-challenged seniors in

Burnaby and New Westminster.

In their first year of the program, they had just over 50 seniors registered in the program to receive gifts. Seniors were registered by local organizations and

individuals indicating the seniors wish for the holidays.

Harmony Court Estate created a gift tag for each senior and placed it on their wish tree.

With the help of the staff, residents, and local donors each gift wish was claimed and presents were purchased.

Harmony Court staff were loading up the bus and delivering the gifts on Tuesday morning of this week.

This included not just the 50 Christmas to Remember gifts but also an additional 51 food hampers for the Burnaby Christmas Bureau.

“I am so proud of what the team at Harmony Court was able to accomplish this year through the program. Thanks to their efforts over 50 seniors will be

getting their wish this Christmas,” said Barb Noad, marketing manager at AgeCare.

“These anonymous gifts will help to brighten recipients’ lives and send the message that they are being thought of during these special times.”

About a Christmas to Remember

A Christmas to Remember was started by AgeCare as a way to spread holiday cheer to lonely and/or financially challenged seniors.

Anonymous gifts are delivered directly to seniors in need, sending them the message that they are being remembered this Christmas.

Making a Christmas to Remember

Tales of the real St. Nicholas’ giving spirit were blended with a fictional personification by New York-based newspaper writers who blended the St. Nicholas name with the appearance of a Dutch town citizen. The goal was to reach out to the primarily Dutch immigrants

living in New York at the time. This jolly elf image was given a boost by the publication of “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” which was published around the same time.

Eventually, the merry Santa Claus portrayal began to outshine the more accurate St. Nicholas version as a religious man, fostered by political

drawings and caricatures that depicted Santa as a chubby sort in a red suit.

That image prevails to this day.

Beneath the Christmas symbolism, the beard and the presents associated with Santa Claus lies a tale of generosity that originated with St. Nicholas.

“He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself.”

- “A Visit From St. Nicholas”

Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation.

Parents typically go to great lengths to ensure their children enjoy the holiday season.

By keeping the magic of Santa alive, parents can add a special touch to the holiday season for their youngsters. Children may become more skeptical of Santa around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year.

• Read an uplifting stoRy

The holidays are ripe with stories that tug at the heartstrings. Parents can take their children to the library and rent a Christmas tale or take home a book of holiday stories, reading a different one before bed each night. Encourage children to write their own positive stories of what the holidays mean to them and read them aloud to family and friends.

• Keep the magic flowingChildren who believe in

Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Find a way to trigger noise on the roof to give kids the impression that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more.

• spend time with santa

Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the

mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season.

• spRead chRistmas cheeR

Santa’s job is to bring presents to the world’s children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family.

Schedule a day to distribute gifts at a senior centre or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving. Keeping the tradition of Santa Claus alive can help adults and children alike enjoy a more festive holiday season.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBurnaby/New West defender Nathan Lew stretches to check a Delta forward in a Lower Mainland Ringette League U14 game in Burnaby Saturday.

STIck chEck

For the second consecutive tournament the New Westminster Hyacks junior girls basketball squad has come away with a second-place finish.

The host Maple Ridge Ramblers defeated the Hyacks 39-25 in the opening game of the round-robin tournament Friday. It was team’s second loss of the season, having lost the final of the Power 12 tourney in Abbotsford the previous weekend to Okanagan Mission of Kelowna.

But they followed the loss to the Ramblers by downing the Samuel Robertson Technical School Titans of Maple Ridge 49-16. Mia Obrovac and Keja Davis both scored 12 points. In their final game, New West beat the Walnut Grove Gators of Langley 60-26 with Obrovac netting 14 and Davis 12.

The 10-2 junior Hyacks are playing in their own Bob Gair junior girls tournament this week (Wednesday to Friday) against Surrey’s Tamanawis Wildcats, Richmond’s Steveston-London Packers and their next-door neighbours from Burnaby, the St. Thomas More Knights.

The senior squad will also be hosting their own Bob Gair tourney. Last Thursday the senior Hyacks downed the Crofton House Cougars of Vancouver 74-49 with five players reaching double digits. Lauren Denusiuk and Rhiannon Laidl had 12 each, Hannah DeVos scored 11 while Celia Palmer and Justice Steer netted 10 apiece.

The Hyacks recently returned from a trip to Hawaii where they lost three games before winning their final two.

The eight-team senior boys Bob Gair Memorial Tournament tips off Wednesday at 2 p.m. with the Hyacks playing host to Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs. The semifinals will be played Thursday at 2 and 7:15 p.m. with consolation semis in between. Friday’s action starts at 9 a.m. with the final at 2:15 p.m..

The Richmond Colts downed the Hyacks 79-60 in an exhibition game last Thursday.
