Bob Robertson and Linda Cullen are sleeping a little easier now that they know the giant tin man on New Westminster’s waterfront does double duty as a missile silo armed to defend the city from attack by North Korea. That little known factoid is one of many historical truths, halftruths and outright fabrications uncovered by the comedy duo in their exhaustive research for Mayday! Mayday! Double Exposure

The hour-long—with laughs, five hours without—multimedia extravaganza will premiere at the Massey Theatre on Sunday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the 42nd annual Hyack Festival. Their research was exhaustive because, well, they walked up and down New Westminster’s ubiquitous hills observing the people, peccadilloes and political peculiarities of the city they’ve

called home for more than two years. They also visited the archives, toured the museums and heritage homes. Once, they even braved the food court at the Royal City Centre. “You can’t do a funny history of New Westminster unless you understand it first,” says Robertson. “It’s ripe for the picking because it’s so unlike many other communities.” Robertson and Cullen both started their careers at CKNW at Eighth and McBride where she was
a producer and he was a freelance writer brought in to punch up promotional spots. They became a couple and then pitched a half-hour show of topical satire to CBC Radio. They ended up producing and performing more than 400 episodes of Double Exposure over 10 years before taking their act to television. When they returned to the Royal City, they knew they were moving into comedy gold. please see ShOW TuRNS MIcROScOpE, a5

Nicolas D. Robitaille couldn’t help but see the Front Street parkade from the SkyTrain bridge as he commuted back and forth from Vancouver to Surrey for his graphic design job. He needed a subject for his graduation project to get his masters of architecture from the University of British Columbia, and the parkade jumped right out at him as he rode the rails. “That parkade is so massive that’s the first thing you see,” said Robitaille. So one day about 18 months ago he got out and explored. Columbia Street’s topography and energy was cool, he thought. Ditto for the River Market and the waterfront—they combined to create an experience unique to New West. But that wasn’t the case for Front Street and the parkade in between. “Spatially it’s dark, dusty, it has this backstreet feel to it,” said Robitaille, while visiting the area on Monday. see ‘I’M juST TRyING’, a3

CITYPAGE ART IN THE LIBRARY Diversity is the word to describe the talented artists whose work is on display in the New Westminster Public Library until the end of May. In the Second Floor Gallery, the outdoors is the inspiration for the Plein Air Painters. Christine Moore, Joann Heringer, Dale Costanzo, Gillian Wright, and Sim Lee belong to this group of artists who get together regularly to explore the colour and textures of the outdoors in their painting. Following in the tradition of the ‘Impressions’, their sketches and quick paintings form the basis for their creative finished pieces. On the Ramp Gallery, the Diaconu family presents “Expressive Quartet”. The four members of the family, Gabriela, Dan, George and Adina, have always been artistically inclined. They work in all media, although each has a tendency to drift towards a specific chosen area, bringing their own personality and creativity to their art. The current show includes acrylic on canvas, photography, mixed media and digital painting. The art can be viewed at any time during library open hours at 716 6th Avenue in New Westminster.

“The contrast between it and Columbia which is wide, bright and green.” Maybe, he thought, rather than taking it down—as many in the city have called for—the parkade could be made more attractive and useful. “The view from [the parkade] is incredible, the light is incredible. Columbia is so popular and you go a few metres south and no one is there.” So he got to work and came up with some ideas, which helped him earn his degree. Now he’s hoping to help New West by taking the parkade discussion to a different level. With a study showing only 38 per cent usage of the parkade and more parking becoming available once the Anvil Centre and office complex is completed, the city aims to one day demolish the older west half of the parkade. Among many residents, the parkade is loathed. But local retailers have voiced concern that this should only happen when there is a good supply of parking alternatives in the Downtown for those who choose to visit by car. Since the parkade is structurally sound, Robitaille thought why not explore new ways of using it. First of all, he suggests the parkade’s uncovered top floor, with its “amazing” views of the Fraser River, could be turned into a garden park with playgrounds or possibly even an ice rink in the winter. Holes could also be cut from its surface to brighten the level below, which would be retained for parking. A frustration for the city and
residents for a long time has been the fact the Fraser River has been disconnected from Columbia Street (and the rest of the city) by the rail line and Front Street. Robitaille has proposed a massive iconic structure, a wide pedestrian public plaza/bridge connecting Columbia Street near Sixth Street Nicolas D. Robitaille to the waterfront—over the parkade visits the and railway tracks. It would be home nearly to a restaurant, hostel and viewing empty top deck. At the end, supporting the deck of the parkade on structure would be another iconic, Monday. conical building with its foundations He has sunk into the river.

It has to live with the presence of Vancouver. How does it market itself when it lives next to a big monster like Vancouver?” Robitaille was to meet with Coun. Jonathan Coté, an urban studies student at Simon Fraser University, to discuss his designs this week. “I’m not saying this is a finished idea, I’m just trying to create a Bottom left: The Columbia Street end of the large structure he has proposed, looming above the CIBC building. Bottom right: The structure would reach over the river’s edge. discussion,” he said.
Zipline idea for Westminster Pier Park won’t fly after all A city councillor’s idea for a Westminster Pier Park zipline has been zapped. Coun. Chuck Puchmary asked city staff to investigate the possibility of building a zipline in conjunction with a pedestrian overpass planned to connect Fourth Street to the park. A report to council Monday said a leading zipline operator has advised the
city the height of the viewing platform for the structure is not high enough for a safe commercially viable operation. The industry standard for the landing platform requires it to be at least three storeys above the ground so the line can sag without hitting anyone on the ground. A landing platform that high off the ground means the zipline would drop from
the viewing platform’s elevation of 15.5 metres to just 14 metres for the landing, which wouldn’t thrill potential operators or thrill seekers enough to make it viable. Meantime, the report also said the city’s consultants, Associated Engineering, had to some additional geotechnical investigation and foundation design for the overpass, to meet seismic requirements.

Queen’s Park to host lacrosse’s Minto Cup
Diabetes Clinic
The Minto Cup tournament will be played at Queen’s Park Arena for the third time in the past decade. The 2013 version, which will feature the two B.C. finalists and the Ontario and Alberta champions will run Aug. 17 to 26 at the sport’s hallowed hardwood hall before 2014 hails a change in its format. In 2002, the Canadian Lacrosse Association went to a four-team tourney with the champions of the B.C., Alberta and Ontario leagues along with a host club participating in a round-robin followed by a semifinal between the second and third-place finishers with the winner meeting the firstplace team in the final.

In 2007, the ’Bellies were the host squad and made it to the semifinal, losing to the Six Nations Arrows before the Ontario team went on to defeat Burnaby in the final. Starting in 2014, the B.C. champion will play off against the Alberta champs before advancing to face the Ontario champ in a best-of-seven series to be held in British Columbia. The final will be held in Ontario in 2015, and in Alberta in 2016. “The Minto Cup championship showcases the best of what our sport has to offer—that has always been the
case—but we have seen that the four-team format has not been the best format for those currently involved and also to those that may want to get involved in the future at this level,” said CLA president Joey Harris in a press release. “The CLA, in conjunction with the three member associations who compete for the Minto Cup, have worked hard over the past year examining the Minto Cup, its championship format and its future. We believe the decisions that have been made are what are needed at this time.” Ticket information for the 2013 Minto Cup will be posted at www.lacrosse.ca when it becomes available. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Emanuels said along with having to purchase the property from the port authority, there is also the long-range issue of
how much added traffic using that option will cause for the industrial park and the already highly congested area. “What the two lanes doesn’t solve is the backup off the intersection of Braid and Brunette and the trains going through,” said Emanuels. He added there will be more dialogue between the city and local industry this month.

“There are so many disjointed little neighbourhoods that all have their own identity,” says Cullen. “When we walk around we often wonder ‘what is it that this city needs?’” “We thought it would be a good challenge to turn the microscope closer to home,” says Robertson. But planting their satirical barbs into their own backyard is a little bit different from taking shots at international, national
and provincial politicians. For one, they have to plug into the local buzz. That means reading the local papers cover to cover, talking to people in coffee shops and knowing what issues could use a little comedic kick and what might cut a little too close to the bone. “There are things we’d like to make fun of, but we have to temper it,” says Robertson. It’s also riskier because a lot of the jokes demand at least a bit of insider knowledge.
The show grew from a 10-minute routine they did for the annual LitFest gala and makes use of slides, audio and video clips and even live sketches that may feature guest appearances by local luminaries.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Where’s Ottawa’s accountability?
LAST WEEK:
Chapter eight of the 2013 Spring Report of the Auditor General of Canada should ruffle the feathers of every taxpayer in this country. The title of chapter eight is “Spending on the Public Security and Anti-Terrorism Initiative.” The title should have started with the word “uncontrolled.” The spring report is the result of a performance audit designed to identify “… how well government is managing its activities, responsibilities, and resources.” The conclusion of the Auditor General on the massive spending program geared to keep Canadians safe from terror is that, “… departments and agencies reported spending $9.8 billion on PSAT Initiative activities, but information on whether departments used $3.1 billion in Initiative funding was not available.” Information on where $3.1 billion went is just not available? Why? At tax time Canadians were asked to provide proof of income and expenses to ensure we follow rules to keep our economy humming along. Why is the federal government playing under a different set of rules? The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat mandate is to provide advice and support to Treasury Board ministers and provide oversight of the financial management of government. Given that they have identified three possible scenarios that might account for what happened to the money it shouldn’t be a big leap to drill down a little further. Money should be something easy to track. This department received X amount, then X gave it Y who spent it on Z. Here’s the paperwork about what Z is. According to the report, weaknesses in the way the government assesses proposals for funding and their reporting processes, were identified as far back as 2004. This isn’t pocket change, so the question needs to be asked: How well is the government managing activities, responsibilities and resources in this case? In a word: badly. – Black Press

THIS WEEK: Are you satisfied with the way the media covered the B.C. election? Vote at www.newsleader.com
Things you can’t say in elections VICTORIA – Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government. Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score? Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy. West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported. The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers. You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only

discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead. She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be. In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.

Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

COMMENT
Let’s see the farm market stay at River Market It’s sad to see the Royal City Farmers Market leaving the River Market to return to its summer home at Tipperary Park. I am a big fan of the market, and make a point to go as often as my schedule will allow. Throughout the winter I loved the market as not only did I have access to great local goods, but it showcased the potential the River Market has, and gave hope it will soon return to its glory days. I dislike the idea of the market being beside City Hall, as it then becomes just a market (a great one that I enjoy, but just a market nonetheless). When it’s located at the River Market, it becomes a destination. With the ease of access (transit) and the additional businesses in the area (at the market, antique alley and on Columbia Street), it results in a win for the market vendors, the nearby businesses and helps situate New West as a cool place to visit for those living in neighbouring communities throughout the Lower Mainland. Please consider making the River Market a permanent home for future years. You’ll continue to have my support either way, but it would be great to see the Royal City Farmers Market supporting the local community, helping to transform New West into an amazing place to visit.

Thanks for making jane’s walk such a success A huge thank you to everyone who helped make New Westminster’s first Jane’s Walk weekend a success. Thank you to all those who contributed enthusiasm and encouragement, and especially those who contributed their time to organize and lead one of the 10 well-attended walks. We enjoyed great media coverage before the event, and the weekend weather couldn’t have been better. Let’s make the Jane’s Walk weekend an annual celebration of urban walking-and-talking in New Westminster. Mary Wilson Jane’s Walk organizer New Westminster
Time To push back on The coal Every living being on this planet and not just residents of New Westminster, Surrey, Delta and White Rock should take heed of this new Fraser Surrey Docks facility for coal. This low-grade coal originates in the eastern U.S., the world’s largest producer of coal, but strong opposition from Washington and Oregon to build a coal port in those states has shifted their attention to B.C., because regulations and environmental concerns here are more lax. Trainloads of coal from the U.S. will pass through White Rock and Delta to the proposed new docks in Surrey. Canada in turn will barge it up to Texada Island to the deep sea port there, for export to China the world’s biggest consumer of coal. The fossil fuels wasted to transport this stuff is reason enough to halt this proposal. The proposal to Port Metro Vancouver talks about an “air quality and an environmental review component,” but if this were a serious scientific study which includes climate change and environmental damage and not just safety concerns around the handling of coal and flying coal dust, the idea would get a resounding thumbs down. This proposal is backed solely by Ottawa’s greed for profit with local and global environmental concerns coming last for consideration. Coal is responsible for about a third of world’s greenhouse gas release so we clearly know that it is not an environmentally friendly product. Ottawa (through Port Metro Vancouver) has carte blanche to do what it likes and will simply pay lip service to any protest or dissent. Our New Westminster politicians are against this proposal but rather than coming out strongly against this project, will only call for due process and public consultation or information meetings, as if those do anything more than give the proponents of these plans a chance to say “well we consulted the public” before totally ignoring them and go ahead anyway. The only local (potential) politician who is actually doing something is
James Crosty, who has started a petition against this proposal. We look with disdain on China, which opens up a new coal-fired plant every day. However, are we not the ones feeding their filthy habit and in so doing make a mockery of our green standing. This hypocrisy makes us just as responsible as if we were burning the coal ourselves.

TRACEY
planned poliTical reforms welcome The past few weeks have brought two pieces of good news, proposals, which, if implemented, will bring significant improvements to our democracy. The first is the announcement by the BC NDP that if elected it would eliminate union and corporation donations to political parties. This is also the policy of the BC Conservative Party and of the Green Party of BC. This is great news as we do not want “the best government that money can buy.” This is a good first step but we can do better. Ideally all voters should have equal legislative power. This means all voters should be able to make the same financial contribution to a political party, therefore it must be one which almost all citizens can afford. Our group, Burnaby/New Westminster Citizens for Voting Equality, recommended to the 2010 Local Government Elections Task Force that this principle be applied to civic elections, and suggested the amount be $100. The second piece of good news is that the federal NDP confirmed its long standing commitment to reform Canada’s electoral system to a proportional one, along with a tour to consult widely with Canadians on the matter. Proportional means that each party’s percentage of MPs is the same as its percentage of the vote. With a proportional system Canada would no longer have policies dictated by a party that has less than 50 per cent support. David Huntley Burnaby/New Westminster Citizens for Voting Equality

The War of 1812, West Coast style A West Coast version of the War of 1812 is on display at the New Westminster Museum and Archives. Although no battles were fought in this neck of the woods, William Black, captain of a British warship called The Raccoon, wanted a military victory. So he decided to stage a mock takeover of a fur trade post at Fort Astoria in Oregon. Since the Americans, who didn’t want to be invaded, had already sold the fort to Britain’s North West Company the takeover wasn’t real. The event, however, had a major impact on geopolitics in the Pacific Northwest. The aftermath of the war and joint occupancy of Oregon by both the Americans and British started the process of creating a western boundary between Canada and the U.S. The traveling exhibit put together by the Osoyoos Museum tells the little-known story of the episode with reproductions of historic images, artists’ concepts of the events and artifacts from the 1812 era. It also includes the history of the Peace Arch and other stories about the province and country. The exhibit, which is touring national historic sites throughout the province, will be at the New West Museum, 302 Royal Ave., until June 9. For more information call 604-527-4640.
Plein Air Painters on display The works from two groups of artists are on display this month at the New Westminster Public Library. The Second Floor Gallery features the outdoor inspirations of the Plein Air Painters, a group of five artists who regularly get together to do sketches and quick paintings that form the basis for their finished pieces. At the On the Ramp Gallery, the works of the four members of the Diaconu family—Gabriela, Dan, George and Adina—are exhibited in Expressive Quartet. The family work in different media, although they each have a tendency to drift toward specific areas including acrylic on canvas, photography, mixed media and digital painting.
It’s time to Read with Us The library’s Read with Us Book Club will next meet on June 6, 7 p.m., to discuss The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, which can be borrowed from the library. Pre-register at the library or call 604-527-4667. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The event kicks off at noon on the Thrifty Foods performance stage with the Altyn Folk Dance Group with their colourful and energetic presentation of traditional dances and music from Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Armenia and other countries that used to comprise the Soviet Union.

The idea of a toll at Canada-U.S. land crossings has been scrapped, at least for this year. The plan was floated as a way to raise money for the U.S. department of Homeland Security in the face of budget cuts.

U.S. law makers have scrapped a proposal to slap a new fee on Canadians crossing the border. The Department of Homeland Security had wanted the toll applied at land crossings into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, but the U.S. Senate judiciary committee voted Thursday to block the idea, at least for this year. Business leaders on boths sides of the border opposed the idea, warning it could create much longer border wait time and hamper trade and commerce. The fee on all vehicles and pedestrians was proposed for further study as a way to generate new revenue for Homeland Security, which has been forced by arbitrary U.S. budget cuts to reduce customs staffing. Bellingham Chamber of Commerce president Ken Oplinger had predicted the new border-crossing fee would never be implemented, noting similar schemes have been proposed and rejected before. “We were pretty sure this was what the outcome was going to be,” he said, noting there was broad political opposition in the U.S., not just from border communities. He noted the Senate vote merely blocks funding to study the idea for the next fiscal year. “We’ll see what happens in future years,” Oplinger said. “It’s something to keep an eye on but we don’t need to worry about it for right now.” The amount of the fee was never specified, but Canadians who go to the U.S. by air or sea already pay a $5.50 customs fee, usually built into airline ticket prices.
