Eva broke our hearts

But also left us with a sense of how precious life is and how one person can make a difference for so many BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Eva Markvoort touched many lives in her all-tooshort life. The New Westminster resident passed away March 27 at the age of 25, but there’s little doubt that her efforts to inspire and inform will live on. The Record has selected Markvoort as its 2010 Newsmaker of the Year for all she accomplished in life and the legacy she leaves behind. “Eva lived passionately and with purpose, leaving a legacy of love and making a difference in the lives of thousands of people in her personal life and in her online community,” her parents Bill Markvoort and Jane Brine wrote in a column that was published in The Globe and Mail. “She was defined by her challenges related to cystic fibrosis yet soared above the limitations the disease ◗That’s Page 3

STORY OF THE YEAR: NEW WESTMINSTER TOOK THE LEAD ON SEVERAL HOT ISSUES

It was a year of ‘firsts’ in the Royal City BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

2010 was a year of several firsts in the Royal City. So many, in fact, that the news story of the year is all about the city breaking ground in several areas.

An historic apology

The City of New Westminster proved to be a national leader on a couple of fronts in 2010, most noticeably when it became the first municipality in Canada to formally apologize for its discriminatory actions of the past toward Chinese Canadians.

On Sept. 20, city council chamber was packed with media and members of various Chinese organizations when the city issued its historic apology. The apology came after staff conducted a lengthy review of city documents from 1860 to 1926 and found that early city councils had acted in a discriminatory way toward Chinese Canadians in past eras. “The City of New Westminster formally apologizes to the Chinese community for its past actions, which resulted in discrimination and exclusion, and it looks forward to working together in the spirit of friendship, community and cooperation to build strong bonds and lasting

relations,” said the apology. Research done by city staff confirmed that city council acted in a discriminatory matter in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly by restricting employment opportunities and by asking senior governments to pass discriminatory laws. In response to a request from the Canadians for Reconciliation, city council launched a reconciliation process with the Chinese community in September 2009. In addition to the public apology, council agreed to a number of other actions as part of the reconciliation process including: reviewing the current use of the Chinese Benevolent Association site on

Christmas tree: Ship it out and chip it up There are two different options for recycling your Christmas tree in New Westminster this season – the easy way and the hard way. Kristian Davis, the city’s supervisor of solid waste and recycling, is hoping plenty of Royal City residents will choose the latter option. While citizens can simply chop their tree into pieces small enough to fit into their yard and foodscraps recycling containers and picked up for free from home, Davis said he hoping for a good turnout for the annual New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services’ chip-up fundraiser taking place Jan 8 and 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the No. 1 Firehall across from the Canada Games Pool. “There’s a barbecue, popcorn, face-painting, music, they’re doing a fire extinguisher demo, all kinds of stuff,” said Davis of the city-sponsored event. “It’ll be a fun time, and it’s always good to get out support for a good cause.” He added that another option is for people to simply drop off their trees at the city’s recycling depot located at Sixth Avenue and McBride Boulevard. Be sure to remove all tinsel and ornaments beforehand. Trees sprayed with snowfoam can’t be recycled and neither, it should hopefully go without saying, can artificial trees. – By Andrew Fleming, staff reporter

NEWSMAKER OF THE YEAR: EVA MARKVOORT

‘That’s how I am spending my time – loving’ ◗ continued from page 1

imposed. Her magnetic personality drew people at every turn.” At the age of one, Markvoort was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis – a fatal, genetic disease affecting the lungs and digestive system. A graduate of New Westminster Secondary School and a 2002 Miss New Westminster ambassador, Markvoort later attended the University of Victoria. “Eva’s true love was for acting. She was ecstatic at being accepted into theatre at the University of Victoria in 2002. She immersed herself in drama, and the faculty was extremely accommodating as her health declined,” wrote her parents. “Eventually Eva realized she would be unable to pursue acting as a career. When friends offered to do a documentary film about her wait for a lung transplant, she jumped at the chance. It gave her a focus during a difficult phase of her life.” Markvoort’s dealings with cystic fibrosis and her wait for a transplant were captured in the documentary 65_RedRoses, which looked into the lives of Markvoort and two of her online friends, who were all battling cystic fibrosis. The cameras were with Markvoort the day her pager sounded, alerting her to the fact she would soon receive new lungs. In October 2007, she received a double lung transplant as part of a history-making day at Vancouver General Hospital, where a record number of lifesaving organ transplants took place in a 24-hour period. After recovering from the transplant, Markvoort sought to live life to the fullest. She completed the 2008 Sun Run, visited New York City with her parents and dyed her hair bright red. Sadly, Markvoort was diagnosed with chronic lung rejection in August 2009. Despite her declining health, Markvoort was excited to get dressed up and attend the premiere of 65_RedRoses at the Vancouver International Film Festival in October 2009. Directed by Philip Lyall and Nimisha Mukerji, the docu-

mentary picked up three awards, including Most Popular Canadian Film and Most Popular Canadian Documentary. Markvoort’s blog about life with cystic fibrosis – 65redroses.livejournal.com – inspired people around the world. Knowing she had little time left, Markvoort posted a goodbye video on her blog in February 2010. Within days, more than 2,100 people had sent messages to her via the blog. “That’s how I am spending my time – loving,” she said. “I think I am very lucky. I have loved more than you could possibly imagine.” The walls of Markvoort’s hospital room were covered in cards, letters and drawings from people from around the world. Shortly after news of her death was posted, hundreds of messages of condolence from all over the world flooded her blog. In addition to encouraging people to become organ donors, Markvoort also strove to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis. In the months after Markvoort’s death, numerous fundraisers and events were held in her memory to raise awareness and funds for cystic fibrosis. As part of the Great Strides Walk for cystic fibrosis, many supporters participated and dyed their hair red in Markvoort’s memory. The event raised an unprecedented amount for cystic fibrosis. Sixty-five members of the Federation of Canadian Artists – including Robert Bateman and New Westminster’s Angela Au Hemphill – created a piece of artwork in honour of Markvoort. Each contributed a single painting of a red rose that was then combined into one composite painting that was used to raise funds for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and to raise awareness of organ donor programs. In July, the second annual Vancouver Leisure Society’s lawn bowling tournament honoured Markvoort and challenged teams to dress their best, as fashion and beauty

Reconciliation Society. “It is time to prepare the population to make changes in ways our forefathers could only dream about.”

Wage policy – a first

In April, the City of New Westminster adopted a living wage policy. Considered a first in Canada, the policy drew accolades from health and poverty groups from across the country. A living wage is often defined as being the minimum hourly wage that’s necessary for a family of four, with two parents working full-time, to pay for food, shelter and other daily needs. “New Westminster is the first city in Western Canada – why not be the first city in other things as well,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, who proposed the policy. “The pioneers would be proud.”

While the details of the living wage rate were still being debated at yearend, council unanimously supported the policy. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN Canada), which lobbied council to adopt a living wage bylaw, said a living wage policy brings benefits, including workers spending more money locally and businesses having less turnover and more productivity.

First Pride Day proclaimed

Longtime Royal City resident Vance McFadyen appeared before city council in January asking that the city proclaim Aug. 7 as Pride Day in New Westminster, and council unanimously supported the Pride Day proclamation. He said the proclamation would allow the gay community to celebrate and to

demonstrate pride in themselves and their city, and help promote trust, understanding and tolerance in the community at large. “I think it’s an important day when we can celebrate the inclusiveness of our city,” said Coun. Bill Harper. A number of events took place in the week leading up to Pride Day. Pride Day included a number of events, including the Hills and Heels fundraiser that raised $1,900 for the new youth centre in Moody Park. Attendees took it in stride when a protestor appeared at the Pride Day declaration at city hall. “He was making his point, and all we said to him was: Happy Pride Day,” said McFadyen.

New youth centre

In September, people of all ages gath-

ered at the new New Westminster Youth Centre in Moody Park, which was built at the rear of Century House. The New Westminster Youth Centre is believed to be one of the first facilities of its kind in Canada, as it has co-located a youth centre and a seniors’ centre. “You are not dividing your community, you are bringing it together,” said a representative of the federal government who attended the grand opening. “Kudos to all of you.”

Honour House – another first

In November, the grand opening of Honour House marked the opening of the first facility of its kind in Canada. The St. George Street facility will provide free interim accommodations for the families of Canadian Forces and firsts responders while they are receiving care in Metro Vancouver.

were very much a part of her life. The event raised $34,250 for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – more than tripling the previous year’s total. That same month, the City of New Westminster agreed to explore the possibility of creating a memorial to Markvoort, after a family friend asked the city to consider naming a garden in Queen’s Park in her memory – Eva’s Garden of Hope. “Upon Eva’s airing of 65_RedRoses on CBC in October, the Canadian organ donation saw a surge of registrants triple in a matter of days,” said Diane McQuade in a letter to the city. “This is not something easily done, but the documentary of Eva’s struggle made the whole world stand up and realize that everyone has a choice to help, it wasn’t something that wasn’t already known by the world, but it seems Eva’s struggle jump-started the world to realize the difference that choice would make to someone else.” Council directed staff to identify options for an appropriate memorial to the former city ambassador.

Legacy: Peter Yi and Bill Markvoort with 65 Red Roses, an art project dedicated to the memory of Eva Markvoort, who died in March after a lifelong battle with cystic ﬁbrosis. she was presented with the Summerhayes Award, which is given to someone who has done outstanding work above and beyond the struggle for cystic fibrosis. “One of the most important things for me to do right now is to create a legacy. … This (award) to me really makes a difference because it means that I made a difference,” she said when she received the award. “When I die, this is what’s left.” According to Markvoort’s blog, 65_

RedRoses will be airing in the United States on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011. The documentary has been reedited to include references to the last two years of her life. On Feb. 18, 2010, Markvoort wrote this on her blog: a mark on the world a difference some proof that i had been here something to say that i mattered that when my body left this world my soul had made its imprint.

Vision for the future: Project manager Jim Alkins provides an update on plans for three new schools, which have been stalled as the district tries to determine where to build the high school. Roughly 125 people attended an information meeting held in January at New Westminster Secondary School.

Good news, bad news and everything in between – it filled our pages in 2010. For a brief step back in time, check out the year that was.

January

The school district kicks off the new year with a meeting about the future high school site, even thought the city and school district have yet to finalize any land exchanges that may be necessary. The meeting, which is held to update the public about plans to build a new $75-million high school, is attended by frustrated parents, Mercer Stadium and Massey Theatre supporters, and concerned Chinese Canadians. The two elected bodies continue to meet to find a way to get the new school built.

School trustees will no longer be able to buy new computers with school district funds. The board of education passes a motion to eliminate a technology allowance for trustees, which several used to buy themselves new computers. A 78-year-old New Westminster woman dies from her injuries after being hit by a van while crossing 20th Street at Eighth Avenue. A family cat perishes but a dog is saved in a house fire in the Glenbrook neighbourhood. A police officer spots the housefire at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Fourth Street while doing patrols. New Westminster city council supports declaring Aug. 7 as Pride Day in the Royal City. Longtime New Westminster resident Vance McFadyen asks that the proclamation be made to allow the gay community to celebrate and to demonstrate pride in themselves and their city. City council supports a 3.98 per cent tax hike. Early reports indicated the city could be facing a 7.6 per cent tax increase n 2010.

February

Olympic fever catches on in the Royal City when the Olympic torch comes to town. Community members turn out in droves as the torch makes its way through city streets. A community celebration is held at Queen’s Park, before the torch takes a ride in the M.V Native paddlewheeler and goes to Queensborough. Physicians and hospital staff voice concerns about the Fraser Health Authority’s decision to transfer some of the neonatal beds from Royal Columbian Hospital to Surrey Memorial. Fraser Health is moving 12 beds to Surrey as part of the creation of a regional neonatal program at that hospital. For the second year in a row, the board of education votes to have district staff review the possibility of closing Hume Park Elementary. The school’s uncertain future is driving away students.

2010: Year in Cartoons

Meet the woman behind the images Ingrid Rice shares her unique take on the world with readers every issue

f a picture is worth a thousand words, then an editorial cartoon must be worst at least that much. Which would make Ingrid Rice one of the most prolific “wordsmiths” at The Record. As a tribute to the talents of the cartoonist whose insights into the world appear on these pages every edition, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite cartoons from the year 2010. And we asked Rice to provide us with a biography – which she has obligingly done. In her own words, here’s Ingrid Rice: A lifelong contempt for authority figures led Ingrid Rice into the murky netherworld of political cartooning. A neverending stream of subject matter has kept her there. She began her career in 1992, freelancing to The Vancouver Sun, where her cartoons enraged Reformers, fem-

inists, assisted suicide opponents and some Gypsies (the Gypsy enragement was completely unintentional – she had been aiming at gypsy moths). After her association with the Sun ended in ‘94, she began to syndicate her work across Canada from her North Vancouver base. Currently self-syndicated in over 45 markets across Canada, she relies on the kindness of editors for publication of her work, expends most of her energy trying to avoid becoming roadkill on the information highway, and worships the God of Clichés. ◗ Hobbies: Eating, sleeping and killing flies with an electric racket. ◗ Pet Peeve: Foreign films with subtitles that run across the bottom of the screen where the heads of the audience are in the way instead of at the top where the viewer has more than a snowball’s chance in hell of reading them! ◗ Hidden Talent: Expert on the care and husbandry of guinea pigs, which makes her an incredibly dull dinner guest.

Making a point: Clockwise from top left: Ingrid Rice took on the war in Afghanistan in January; the HST in March; school funding in April; and the RCMP Taser controversy in May.

In ancient Greek mythology, Mediterranean cuisine was the ambrosia for the gods. It still is. But you don’t have to go to Greece to enjoy a succulent dinner, just to the heart of New Westminster at Yianni’s Greek Taverna. A local favourite, Yianni’s has been part of the city’s go-to eateries for nearly a decade. Two years ago, Paul and Sarbjit Thandi bought Yianni’s. Keeping true to its Cretan roots of cooking, the intimate restaurant still serves up what loyal clientele crave. Sarbjit, who has more than 30 years experience in the hospitality industry, is the executive chef. Along with her Greek sous chef, Chris Manestiotis, the two create mouthwatering cuisine. The key to its success, says Paul, is quality ingredients, consistency and a welcoming atmosphere. The best thing about the Cretan food is its simplicity. No overpowering spices or cooking processes mar the flavour of the fresh, locally gathered produce. Dinner entrees include classics such as moussaka: baked eggplant and potato in meat sauce and topped with béchamel; roast lamb shoulder; souzoukia: spiced meatballs in tomatoes sauce. Also on the menu is a traditional favourite: chicken, lamb and beef souvlaki dinners served

Ta-da: Senior thespians from the Society for the Preservation of Vaudeville present a cheque for $3,800 to Douglas College to be used to support performing arts students. From left: Pam McKinnon and Doris Carruthers of the Vaudevillians, Meg Stainsby, interim dean of language, literature and performing arts, and Hazel Postma, associate vice-president external relations, both from Douglas College.

Senior thespians pitch in Senior thespians are reaching across the generation gap to support young performing arts students at Douglas College. Members of the Society for the Preservation of Vaudeville recently donated $3,800 to their endowment at Douglas College. The money came from a benefit concert held at the Surrey Arts Centre in November. “One of the most rewarding and satisfying projects of the Vaudevillians is the bursary established six years ago,” says Vaudevillian president Marvyn Shore. “The bursary over that time has built up to about $60,000, and approximately 20

students have benefited thus far.” Doris Carruthers and Pam McKinnon visited Douglas recently to present the donation to college representatives Hazel Postma, the associate vice-president of external relations, and Meg Stainsby, the interim dean of language, literature and performing arts. “Our students really appreciate the support from the Vaudevillians and the message they impart, which is that the arts can be a part of everyone’s life, no matter the age or the experience – it’s the joy of performing that counts,” Postma says.

facility of its kind when it opens in New Westminster. The facility is located on St. George Street. The proponents of a night market that was set to open in Queensborough pull the plug on the project because of rising costs – just as it is about to be considered by city council. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Inc. and Target Event Planning inform the city that they are withdrawing their application for temporary use permits that would allow the night market to be located at the Starlight Casino site. New Westminster city council approves a bylaw that allows the city to borrow up to $17 million for a term of 20 years in order to funds its $8.3 million share of the future Westminster Pier Park. While the city says the bylaw is meant to give the city flexibility if it wants to refinance the short-term borrowing from the Municipal Financing Authority, some citizens worry that the move gives the city a big credit card for an extra $9 million. New Westminster resident Christopher Bell continues to raise concerns about the extent of contamination at the Westminster Pier Park site. Mona Forsyth, coordinator of the New Westminster Food Bank, is named New Westminster Citizen of the Year. Lori Pappajohn receives the 2009 Bernie Legge Cultural Award at the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce event. Anti-HST volunteers hit the streets in New Westminster to gather signatures from people opposed to the harmonized sales tax. Volunteers canvass the city as part of the Fight HST campaign. The City of New

Westminster pitches the idea of a partnership at the civic centre to the development community. The city is seeking expressions of interest from developers who may want to develop a tower in conjunction with the city’s future civic centre, which will be built at Eighth and Columbia streets. New Westminster is the first city in Canada to adopt a living wage policy. Council unanimously supports the living wage policy, which is a minimum hourly wage that’s necessary for a family of four with two parents working fulltime to pay for food, shelter and other daily needs. The policy draws praise from poverty and health groups across Canada. Emotions are high when council considers whether the city should support demolition or retention of the Centre Block tower at the former Woodlands site. Although staff reported that there was “limited support” for retaining the tower as a ruin or adapting it for another use, council votes four to three in favour of retaining the tower. The Quayside Community Board files another complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency against railway companies that haven’t taken steps to reduce nighttime noise at the local rail yard. Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian supports the residents’ efforts and holds a community forum about rail yard and rail crossing noise.

Development is starting to boom once again after a slowdown due to the economic conditions. The city starts to see more interest from developers wanting to work on projects in the city. New Westminster hits its target in the Fight HST campaign. With eight weeks to go, canvassers have hit the threshold of 15 per cent that was set by campaign organizers. Elections B.C.’s minimum requirement is 10 per cent of voters’ signatures. A 58-year-old New Westminster woman is arrested in Burnaby in connection with the April 19 death of her 88-year-old adoptive mother. Junette Page Jobin is charged with

The City of New Westminster receives an extension on the deadline for spending its $16.6 million Building Canada Fund grant for construction of Westminster Pier Park. While the city was confident it could meet the March 31, 2011 deadline to complete the park, it is pleased it will get a bit more breathing room with the one-year extension.

$2 million-structure was initially expected to be completed in 2007. Some members of the arts community are shocked to learn that an art gallery isn’t being included in the future multi-use civic facility.

The Record’s choice athlete of 2010 Kevin Crowley was named the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s most outstanding Division 1 player of the year in May. The Stony Brook University junior posted a singleseason school record of 51 goals and 26 assists in 17 games. He is currently the only player in school history in the top five in both goals and assists, with 101 tallies and 75 helpers, respectively. The Stony Brook junior is just 26 points shy of the school’s all-time career record of 201 points. “It’s a huge honour to be chosen for the Enners Award.

SEYMOUR - Harry Passed away peacefully November 26th, 2010 after a short illness in New Westminster. He will be missed by his beloved Vi. His children Christopher, Patrick, Stephen (Joan Johnson), Joseph, Marie (Luke Balogh) Seymour. Always 'Diddy' to Darryl (Duke) Wolf, Michael Seymour, Shannon Wolf, Mary Seymour, Kim Fitwailter and six great grandchildren. Harry had many talents, there was nothing he couldn’t take on. He loved music, traveling and Coronation Street. Always a advocate for a properly made cup of tea and a kind heart for the less fortunate. Harry’s sense of humor and love of life was unraveling among those knew him. He worked tirelessly up until a week ago as Canada’s oldest active Bailiff. Harry never grew old just his body did. Special thanks by Carol, Randy, Richard, Nell and all his loyal friends. We will have celebration of Harry’s life on Saturday, January 8th, 2011, 12 noon - 2pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, 631 6th St, New Westminster.
