MP PETER JULIAN SAYS IT WOULD BE A WAY TO CUT COSTS

Is it time for online voting?

BY DON HAUKA REPORTER

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A pair of NDP MP frequent flyerssayit’stimeParliamentarians looked at online voting to save taxpayers’ dollars.

Peter Julian and Kennedy Stewart say it only makes sense to use technology to trump geography in a country as big as Canada.

“I think it’s something we should consider, absolutely, especially in B.C. – there may be a variety of votes where it could be done using technology and I think we need to think about that,” said Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian.

“Right now, unless I’m in my seat in the House of Commons, I can’t vote on legislation, and in a country as vast and large as Canada, that’s not necessarily the best way to go.”

Julian was reacting to the figures in the recently released House of Commons Members Expenditure Report, which shows Canadian MPs filed over $123 million in expenses in the 20122013 fiscal year. The report details MPs’ spending on travel, office expenses and other costs.

Julian had the most expenses of the trio of NDP MPs who represent New Westminster and Burnaby, with total expenses of $488,358.07. New WestminsterCoquitlam MP Fin Donnelly was next at $446,553.25. Kennedy Stewart from Burnaby-Douglas was third with $441,340.73 in costs. That’s a total of more than $1.376 million in expenses for the three NDP MPs. A big chunk of those expenses – $360,000 – was spent on travel.

Julian was tops in this category among the three MPs, racking up over $126,000 in travel costs.

MP FIN DONNELLY:

“It’s important to stay in touch with my community.”

MP PETER JULIAN:

“There are some votes where every MP should be in his or her seat, but there are also some votes where we may be able to use technology.”

Frequent trips between B.C. and Ottawa traditionally push the travel tab for all the province’s Parliamentarians sky-high.

But Julian said that bill to the taxpayer could be trimmed by using distance technology.

“There are some votes where every MP should be in his or her seat, but there are also some votes where we may be able to use technology,” said Julian.

“It wouldn’t just save on costs – it also makes a lot of sense in other ways.”

Julian said taxpayers would also save on MP housing allowances, living expenses and other costs like per diems. The reduced travel time would allow MPs to go the extra mile for their constituents at home and reduce the stress on their family lives as well.

Julian’s fellow frequent flyer Stewart agreed, saying a Commons committee should look

into ways to hold secure online votes in Parliament.

“I don’t see why we couldn’t have a committee look at it,” said Kennedy. “I think it’s worth looking at.”

Kennedy said MPs should still be required to attend crucial votes likes motions of confidence in the government in person. And making sure distance voting was secure from hacking would be critical.

But Kennedy thinks he might already have slipped the thin edge of the silicon wedge into Parliamentary proceedings. He’s put forward a motion (M-428) to develop rules that would allow online petitions to be submitted to the House of Commons.

“It’s a good test – if the House of Commons is willing to consider a minor change in technology, maybe we can move on to major changes,” he said.

Donnelly was out of the country travelling, but in an email response said he’s willing to spending 10-plus hours on a plane each week while the House sits to stay in touch with his constituents.

“It’s important to stay in touch with my community – just because we’re far away from Ottawa shouldn’t mean that British Columbians shouldn’t have access to their MP,” Donnelly’s email read.

Donnelly also stated that he and his staff work hard to ensure they keep costs down while doing the public’s business.

“For me, this lies in stark contrast to our senators, who are not elected to represent anyone and yet who cost taxpayers $90 million dollars a year. That’s why the NDP is in favour of abolishing the Senate,” Donnelly wrote in his email.

◗ NEW WESTMINSTER SECONDARY SCHOOL

Budget cuts hit library time

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The approximately 2,000 students and 100 staff at New Westminster Secondary School are feeling the effects of budget cuts as recent layoffs mean less access to the school’s library.

The school’s library technician was cut this year (along with another eight per cent of the workforce across the district), and the two remaining teacher-librarians are now required to teach a class each apart from their library duties.

“It’s the result of the cutbacks that have gone across the board, and the libraries were not exempt from those cuts,” said New Westminster Teachers’ Union president Grant Osborne. “The librarians had their library time cut back, and they’re doing more classroom teaching.”

The staffing changes mean there is less time available for the teacherlibrarians to cover library classes.

“If you’ve got several classes in the library it’s challenging for one teacher-librarian to handle it,” Osborne said. “The reason the library has been cut is because everybody has been cut. Everybody. We are down to 10 per cent supply budgets, so libraries are not exempt from that.”

The library issue is “symptomatic” of the district’s large-scale cuts, said Osborne, whose union recently presented to the provincial select standing committee on finance and government services a dire report on the impact cuts have had in local classrooms.

In the union’s view, the provincial government needs to increase education funding to deal with funding shortfalls.

But Ministry of Education spokespeople say the government has actually increased perpupil funding. Operating funding in the New West school district has risen from $35.3 million in 2000/01 to approximately $54 million in 2013/14, up

by more than 50 per cent, ministry spokesperson Matt Silver said in a statement.

As for the NWSS library procedures, under the new guidelines, library hours will be from 8:25 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are also changes to booking procedures for

teachers. As well, at lunchtime, a maximum of 40 students will be allowed to access the library, and the doors will be locked once that number is met.

No one from the school could be reached to confirm whether the new rules were devised by staff

or by the school administrators, or whether they were determined collaboratively.

The New Westminster school district has a $4.4million deficit from previous years and had to cut about 62 jobs to balance this year’s budget.

these are people who live on the edge of an existence on the streets that may claim them at any time. They may not be bright spots on society’s radar at any given moment, but they nonetheless require support services and a better opportunity to achieve permanent housing.

The Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness points out that “invisible” homelessness and the more visible variety are closely connected, and efforts to deal with the

former will go a long way to helping solve the problems of the latter.

The first step to dealing with any problem is to identify it – and to make society as a whole aware of the magnitude of the problem that exists.

Indeed, in a caring community such as ours, that awareness seems always to take us to the next step: active efforts to find a solution.

IN MY OPINION

Port Royal becoming less livable

Dear Editor:

An open letter to Mayor Wayne Wright and city councillors: It is clear that the livability situation in Queensborough, and particularly Port Royal, has reached an unbelievable stage, whereby an onslaught of trucks and containers on our streets is having the effect of making residents prisoners in our own neighbourhoods.

It is getting more difficult each day to transit through Queensborough without encountering a steady stream of trucks which are now backing up on neighbourhood streets as they cannot access their container drop-offs due to the high volume.

It is very distressing to suspect that the council was “asleep” and did not see this situation coming when Port Metro Vancouver indicated interest in the

former Interfor mill site on Duncan Avenue.

This site was zoned as industrial, but a number of residential developers were apparently interested in this site as well. I believe Coun. Bill Harper, who is a known advocate of industrial development, stymied any move to open up this area for residential possibilities with his belief that industry would save the day. Well, guess what? Industry as he knows it has “left the building” with no chance of ever returning.

This left the door wide open for the port to acquire these lands, with the only requirement to provide the City of New Westminster with a land grant periodically instead of paying taxes. It seems to me a large, taxpaying residential neighbourhood would have been far more beneficial to the city.

Now we are left with unsightly containers blighting the skyline and very visible to the approaches ◗Land Page 7

It goes without saying that our real estate values will be taking a big hit as well.

Ask the real estate segment what kind of buyer resistance is being encountered these days in our neighbourhood?

Railways part of city’s past, present and future

Dear Editor:

I attended the railway noise forum hosted by MP Peter Julian on Oct. 3 that was the subject of your article entitled “New Westminster MP Peter Julian invites community rail noise town hall meeting,” to watch the torch, and responsibility, for continuing our struggle for a better sleep at night from the Quayside Community Board’s Brian Allan and James Crosty to the local political representatives.

I was impressed to see that the topics of rail noise, vibration and safety in New Westminster appear to be now in good hands, although time will tell if political enthusiasm can be translated into action.

The shift from Quayside Community litigation to political mediation may produce results, but I was reminded that the Calgary ruling that shut down the noise at Calgary’s Alyth Rail Yards between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. was only achieved through litigation.

Let’s hope that our community’s 10year struggle with the four railways, as the torch is passed to the political arena, doesn’t trigger another 10 years of delay in protecting citizens from the growing problems here in New Westminster, including the storage and transhipment of hazardous materials.

In an interesting intersection of time and issues, railways, which have been such a big part of my life – having travelled The Canadian from Calgary to Toronto and back alone every year, between the ages of six and 16 – came together recently.

On my annual trip to give out the Eddy Scholarships at the University of Calgary, I stopped at Revelstoke and had just enough time to visit its railway museum.

On other trips I have also visited the impressive Canadian Museum of Rail Travel at Cranbrook and the Round House Museum at Three Valley Gap. I was heartened to see that there appears to be some political enthusiasm being generated to preserve the 23 vintage Canadian rail coaches warehoused in New Westminster.

Who knew that they had been here for 28 years?

In its efforts to help Rip Peterman, president of the B.C. chapter of the National Railways Historical Society, in keeping a local rail collection intact, the city might review a “repurposing” of the old bus barns that became the Salvation Army Thrift Store, coupled with the old railway station across Hyack Square in establishing a New Westminster Rail Museum.

An interesting adjunct to the once “Golden Mile” of Columbia Street could be to be the new home of these “golden nuggets” from our railway past.

count of the homeless population every three years.

The very nature of invisible homelessness makes it challenging to quantify. While we get a sample of those living in temporary shelters, we do not capture everyone who may be invisibly homeless.

Many informally pay rent by doing survival sex work, chores or other types of labour.

Often one has to give an address to access support services such as food banks or shelter allowances. In these cases a family or friend’s address is sometimes used, which keeps their homelessness

hidden.

That is why we continue to foster collaboration among more than 100 organizations that work on homelessness day in and day out: to enrich our understanding of the true extent of this issue.

For example, Hollyburn Family Services on the North Shore gets 20 calls a day from seniors at risk of becoming homeless.

Research done by the United Way of the Lower Mainland shows that the number of seniors waiting for social housing increased by 45 per cent from 2009 to 2012.

Fire investigation continues

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster police remain on guard at Mackenzie and Columbia streets, standing over the decimated site where a fire destroyed two New Westminster heritage buildings last week.

Along with the New Westminster fire department, investigators and detectives from the police force’s major crime and forensic identification units continue to collect evidence, hoping to find the cause of

such a destructive fire.

“They do not know the cause of the fire, so right now they’re collecting exhibits, … to examine the scene and see if they can determine the cause,” said Sgt. Diana McDaniel.

“Until they do that we can’t speculate on anything at all.”

Detectives from the department’s major crime unit are leading the investigation with the help of the fire department. The forensic identification unit is conducting any forensic work needed to determine what happened on Oct. 10, and why.

New Westminster firefighters were called to the scene of a blaze at 638 Columbia St. last Thursday morning. By the afternoon, two buildings, including the Crescent Block, home of the historic Copp’s Shoes, were gone.

Police will continue to stand watch over the site to ensure no evidence is removed or tampered with.

“Until they get to a point in the investigation where they don’t need it (the guard), it will continue to be guarded. It’s just for the evidentiary purposes more than anything,” McDaniel added.

“We are keeping track of all the resources. As we are talking to businesses we are trying to match up what they need with offers of help,” Johnston said.

“For the general public, I’d say within the next week to two weeks there will be a few fundraising events announced that will be happening.

That will be a great way for them to get together and support the efforts down here.”

In addition to the 23 businesses located in the two buildings destroyed by the fire, an additional 25 were impacted by issues such as smoke

You’ve been an Estée Lauder spokesperson for almost two decades -- a rare thing in this industry. When you signed in 1995, did you think it would become a role of a lifetime?

I couldn’t have dreamt it. I think my initial contract was two years. I was thrilled beyond belief when it was picked up again, after two years. It’s really been like having a second family.

You’ve personally been affected by breast cancer; you lost your grandmother to the disease. Was that one of the reasons why you’ve been so passionately involved since the beginning?

You also live and promote a healthy lifestyle, as part of the breast cancer prevention. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?

View with

I love living in the countryside, and I’ve always loved feeling healthy. Evelyn Lauder always said to me, “Don’t put on weight. It is not good for you in any way. Not because you won’t look as good, but it could be dangerous for your health.” It’s great for us that doctors and research scientists are now speaking out and saying that they really do believe that we can make a difference by following a healthy lifestyle. They know that we really have to go out of our way to deliberate exercise. I know I don’t step up so much on that one. I’m very active, but I don’t really do exercise regime, and I should. Eating-wise, I’ve eaten pretty well in the last 30 years, so I feel okay in that aspect.

What are the goals of this year’s “Let’s Defeat Breast Cancer. We’re Stronger Together” campaign?

We know we’ve succeeded in some way with the awareness, and we’ve helped raise a huge amount of money. The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign itself has raised $48 million US dollars, most of which they’ve donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, also started by Evelyn Lauder, which has raised nearly half a billion dollars for research. What we’re trying to do this year is encourage people to get together and make a difference themselves. Small scale, big scale: it doesn’t matter. It might be getting a couple of your friends together, and all of you making a pledge to do something about it. It’s all about our “Circle of Strength” and all of that can be seen on BCAcampaign.com, and as well as Facebook, which you’re all on, so no excuses!

October 25, 26, 27, 2013 While the West Coast Women’s Show may be the ultimate girls weekend here in Abbotsford, Glacier Media and Tourism Kamloops want to send you and your girlfriends on an exclusive ladies weekend away. ✭ Two-night stay at The South Thompson Inn & Conference Centre ✭ A Taste of Spa package from Aina Organic Spa ✭ 4 tickets to Western Canada Theatre’s Les Misérables ✭ $100 Gift Certificate to Hoodoos at Sun Rivers

October marks the national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and no brand has been more crucial to the %ght against the disease as Estée Lauder, in its relentless campaigning and fundraising over the last two decades. The exquisitely beautiful Elizabeth Hurley has played a vital part in the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign since signing as the company spokesperson back in 1995. Intelligent and articulate, Elizabeth Hurley gave us an update on the company’s crusade against the agonizing disease, and even found time to give us a couple of valuable beauty tips.

$hen &velyn #"auder! told me about her campaign, during my %rst two or three weeks at the company, I suppose my ears did perk up a bit more because of my grandmother.

It was so sad the way she hadn’t told anybody about her lump, for the very reasons Evelyn went on to explain why she was doing the campaign. Because she said, “women are dying all over the world and nobody is talking about it.” She was so inspired by the AIDS activists, who, at that time, were very active.

Birthday party for a cause

S

andra Allison opted to help people in need with a little help from her friends for her recent birthday bash.

The longtime New Westminster resident rented a hall, hired the Beatles tribute band Ticket to Ride and invited family and friends to help her celebrate her 50th birthday in style. Instead of gifts, she asked that guests bring a donation for the New Westminster Food Bank.

“I was shocked at the end of the night when I saw all the food there,” she said. “It’s great that we have this (food bank) for people.”

For the amount of money Allison spent on the food, hall rental and entertainment for the party, she could easily gone on a vacation. She preferred to celebrate with her daughter, mother, siblings and family and friends.

“It’s a milestone. I wanted to share this with my family and friends,” she said. “A friend wanted to go on a cruise. I said, ‘I am going to have a big party.’”

Wedding at the wharf

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy and wife Stacy Ashton recently honeymooned in France after tying the knot at a location much closer to home.

The longtime residents got married on Sept. 2 at Westminster Pier Park.

“It went fabulously,” McEvoy said. “It was great. We had it on the finger pier. It’s a great spot for a small wedding. We didn’t want a big wedding – it was lifelong friends and family.”

Some critics of the Westminster Pier Park project have dubbed the park, Wayne’s Wharf, after Mayor Wayne Wright.

Bryn-Erin Ward steps up to help with a star-making package for Hyacks Tailgate Auction

BY DON HAUKA REPORTER

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Bryn-Erin Ward wants to help you be the next star.

And the Royal City actress is happy to be part of a package that could kick-start your career.

The veteran TV and screen entertainer is donating her star power to the “So you want to be a star!” package up for grabs at the Hyack Football Tailgate Auction.

In fact, Ward – perhaps best known as Neve Campbell’s nerdy best friend Libby on Party of Five – wishes she had this kind of a star starter-kit when she embarked on her career in the 1990s.

“I would have loved to have won this package – it’s quite spectacular,” said Ward.

“This is like getting the insider’s scoop on how to be an entertainment professional.”

Ward, who has worked with everyone from Cameron Diaz to Dick Van Dyke, is one of several sponsors who have pooled their resources to produce a package that includes lessons in voice, hip hop, dancing and acting. It also includes a makeover, a session with a professional photographer and video audition.

The package comes complete with the winner getting a wrap party/audition at a nightclub downtown.

Ward, a realtor for Re/Max Advantage, says her two-hour session will teach the package purchaser acting skills, how to establish an acting career, the steps needed to launch it and other tips on how to be a professional.

“To have a package like this is huge. To have a professional photographer alone is huge. Proper headshots and promo photos are very expensive,” she said.

Star power: Bryn-Erin Ward, right, and daughter Shane in their New Westminster home. BrynErin, an actor best known for her role in Party of Five, is pitching in to help with a “so you want to be a star” package for the Hyacks Tailgate Auction.

Lions “Felions” cheerleaders as part of a salute to the Leos’ 60th anniversary.

Other prizes on the auction block include a Hawaiian holiday donated by Westland Insurance and a Caribbean cruise donated

by Odenza Carnival Cruise.

One big reason Ward is happy to help with the auction is her daughter Shane’s experience as a cheerleader in the Hyacks football program.

“It’s been a wonderful experience for Shane – it’s given her a chance to combine her love of sport with her love of dance. Her confidence has skyrocketed,” said Ward.

“It’s not just about football – I love that the Hyacks are reaching out to the arts and entertainment communities of the city.”

And you don’t have to be gunning to be the next Canadian Idol to benefit from acting les-

sons, she adds.

“Acting lessons have helped me in my career outside of the entertainment industry. It’s helped me with my people skills, my public speaking and confidence. These are skills that can help you no matter what you do in life,” Ward said.

Susan Cartwright-Coates Owner of Cartwright Jewelers

M

y grandfather always said “if you can see over the counter you were old enough to work”. That was the start of a career and a passion. I am a third generation jeweller as my grandfather, James Cartwright started the business in 1933, my father, Don Cartwright followed in his footsteps. In 1985 I joined the family business and have in turn taken it over. This year we are celebrating our 80th year in business. My philosophy is “Always give back to the community for they are the ones who are supporting you.”

Excellent customer service has been and will always be the cornerstone of our family business, combined with consistent top quality craftsmanship and design. This is the reason for the continued success of our jewellery store.

As a third generation business it is truly an honour to serve customers who dealt with my father or grandfather and to help their children and their children’s children.

We were one of the first jewellery stores to carry Canadian Diamonds in the lower mainland and have maintained a continuous climb in the selling of the world’s finest diamonds that have been mined, cut and polished in Canada. Diamond mines of Canada are one of the richest sources of diamonds in the world today. Canadian Diamonds are sought after all over the world for the same reasons that Canadians are respected in other countries.

Our mining practices respect the land, the environment and our people.

anymore,” McEvoy joked, “it’s Wedding Wharf.”

The couple met 10 years ago while they were both working on Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian’s campaign.

“It was actually Stacy’s idea. She loves the park.

It was really great,” said McEvoy of the wedding’s scenic location. “Right at the moment we completed our vows a fish jumped out of the water and made a little splash.”

‘Profoundly sad’ for Royal City

The Oct. 10 fire that destroyed two significant heritage buildings on Columbia Street left many people reflecting on memories of the buildings’ pasts.

And it was no different for Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian, who called the fire

a “profoundly sad day” for New Westminster. Julian’s family has a special connection to the historic corner of the downtown that went up in flames.

“My father worked at the Copp’s Shoe Store and he had his eye on this young woman who worked at the Sally store across the street, and of course, that was my mother,” he told The Record.

“Like many people in New Westminster, I have a very strong emotional tie to the Copp’s store – it means a lot to me and my family.”

◗ IN THE LIBRARY

Suggestions for serial readers editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Every day after school, kids come to the library looking for the next instalment in their favourite series – we call these kids “serial readers.”

At the New Westminster Public Library we provide a fun and diverse range of new series while making every effort to keep up with the perennial favourites.

The core titles we maintain include series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Magic Treehouse, Geronimo Stilton, Captain Underpants and Choose Your Own Adventure, to name a few. But where do kids turn once they have finished a series? We hope our selec-

tion of new series will fill the void.

Mystery and espionage fans should look for Club CSI (ages eight to 12), which features young sleuths using scientific savvy to solve cases.

The Resisters are young human transformers rebelling against mind-controlling aliens.

Traces, by Malcolm Rose, includes futuristic thrillers solved by a young forensic investigator.

Conspiracy 365 consists of one book for each month with fugitive Callum Ormond, who must unravel his family’s dark secrets if he is to survive.

The I Survived series is a huge hit – each one featuring a story of kids surviving disasters such as 9/11 and the Japanese tsunami of 2011.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

Westminster Pier Park nets another award

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster has landed another award for its riverfront park.

The International Downtown Association has awarded the City of New Westminster its 2013 Downtown Pinnacle Award for the development of Westminster Pier Park.

“Once again, Westminster Pier Park has been recognized as an award-winning project and valuable community asset,” Mayor Wayne Wright

said in a press release.

“Providing a unique space where residents and visitors alike can walk, play, connect with one another or simply enjoy the river is part of an overall vision for our downtown that is re-energizing this historic part of our city.”

The International Downtown Association presented the Pinnacle Award at its annual conference in New York City on Oct. 7.

“I think it’s fantastic,” said Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer.

“For those of you keeping

score like all of us, this is number 7.”

Before the park had even opened to the public in June 2012, it had won three awards: a 2012 Environment Award from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators, which recognized the innovation and administrative excellence demonstrated by the city; a Sustainable Communities Award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities; and a national Brownie Award from the Canadian Urban Institute for sustainable remediation technologies.

Recognition: New Westminster’s Pier Park has netted yet another award, this time from the International Downtown Association.

THE RECORD

Representatives of the New Westminster Downtown Business Improvement Association attending the conference accepted the Pinnacle Award on the city’s behalf.

“When we learned that the City of New Westminster was being recognized with another award for Westminster Pier Park at the conference we were attending, we didn’t hesitate to accept the offer to participate,” said Kendra Johnston, executive director of the New Westminster Downtown Business Improvement Area. “A lot of work is underway to revitalize our downtown and make it a place for businesses and residents to thrive. Westminster Pier Park is a big part of that.”

Westminster Pier Park was among 24 qualified entries for a Pinnacle Award in the category of Public Space, which recognizes capital improvements that enhance the urban design, physical function, or economic viability of the downtown and the community.

“Each year the IDA awards jury honours the very best programs and projects in each category to recognize great work and,

most importantly, to set the standard for best practice in our industry,” said David Downey, president and CEO of the International Downtown Association.

“Westminster Pier Park is a wonderful example for downtowns to emulate.”

Westminster Pier Park, a 600-metre long linear park that stretches from Sixth to Elliott streets along the waterfront, includes two playgrounds, a sports court,

a finger pier that stretches out over the Fraser River, a “festival lawn” gathering area, a sports court, two sand volleyball courts, walking paths and more.

After buying the waterfront site for $8 million in 2009, the city received federal and provincial government contributions for two-thirds ($16.6 million) of the project funding. www.twitter.com/ TheresaMcManus

◗ OUR PAST

Flames in city’s history OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

T

he history of some cities is filled with stories of flooding, hurricanes or tornadoes, brush fires, or extreme cold and snowfalls. A major part of the Royal City’s history concerns fire or, more accurately, recovery from fires. The fire on Columbia Street last week added another chapter.

The block where the fire occurred, the 600 block of Columbia Street, on the even-numbered side of the road, was a wonderful intact set of buildings with the Dominion Trust Block at Sixth Street, followed by the Cunningham/Chess, Hamley, and E.L. Lewis buildings.

This block was one that we frequently used on walking tours as the buildings were all post-1898 Great Fire structures – two from 1899, one 1904 and the other 1907. The two in the middle had heritage information signs on them

(a BIA/city project of years past), the Dominion Trust at Sixth was the site of an iconic 1898 loss, then the majestic (even in ruins) Douglas Elliott building, and the other end known for decades to generations as a shoe store. As of last week, this has all changed.

Standing across Columbia on the McKenzie Street corner, you had a great view of period architecture. You could imagine what the older city was like and “see” the streetscape from the ‘10s and ‘20s. Yes, there are other heritage structures on the street, but it just won’t be the same without the shop fronts in that block, especially Copp’s shoe store.

A few years ago, a group of college students entered the Copp’s store on a walking tour. They walked in and just stood and stared – they had stepped into the past, and it was a great experience both for them and for others watching their reaction.

Amazing stuff, now lost to all but our memories and photos. New Westminster has had many large fires, the largest by far being the one in 1898, but there were many others, both

before and after that important date. Without listing all the others, it is important to recognize the record of other major fires downtown after 1898. Just as the latest fire has triggered memories for many people, so too did those others. The losses in all the fires were enormous to those involved and often pivotal to their lives.

Some examples from a very long city list include the Central Hotel 1916; Reliable Furniture 1930s; Swanrite building/CKNW 1954; Marshall Wells 1954; the Premier Hotel 1955; Collister’s Department Store circa 1959, Metropolitan Store 1968; Darby/Dunsmuir Hotel 1982; and the Kresge’s building 1990s.

An interesting but eerie fact is that major fires have occurred on three corners of one intersection. The McKenzie at Columbia intersection, which was the focal point of this latest fire, was also the location of the previously mentioned Collister’s store (with loss of life) and Metropolitan building (with loss of Charlie Stride photo collection) fires. In this case, 75 per cent is more than enough.

Spark plub: Massimo Rizzo, in white against Vancouver, sparked a four-goal rally to boost the Burnaby Winter Club peewee A1 team to a 5-3 win over Kelowna en route to the gold medal at the club’s Thanksgiving hockey tournament on Monday.

Winter club wins hockey tourneys

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby Winter Club started the minor hockey tournament season off with big wins.

The bantam AAA Bruins scored a 4-1 victory over the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Chilliwack, while the peewee A1 team won its own Thanksgiving touranament at the Burnaby Winter Club with a 4-0 win over Langley on Monday.

James Malm scored two goals for the bantams, while first-year Ilijah Colina opened the scoring

and Tyler Perziuso got the game-winner for the winter club.

Mackenzie Wright and defenceman Nick Watson also had strong games.

Bryce Shiebel recorded the win in goal for the bantam Bruins.

But the road to the final was far from easy, said Burnaby bantam head coach John Batchelor.

The Bruins survived a tough draw and three early morning starts to win their first Chilliwack banner in years.

Burnaby tied Langley 2-2 and Kamloops 4-4 in round-robin play, and

were forced to come back winter club’s record to from a pair of two-goal date to 14-0-2.

overall record intact at 90-1.

Last year, four teams from the winter club tournament made it through to the AAA provincials.

This season, Reynolds expects an equal number from the tourney could make it again in 2014, including a “super competitive” Kelowna club that held a two-goal lead on the Bruins before eventually losing 5-3.

Massimo Rizzo sparked the comeback in that round-robin game with a highlight goal midway through the middle period.

A memorial toast to founder of Shmyr Flyers A memorial for Tony Shmyr of Burnaby will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26 in New Westminster.

Shmyr, a member of the famous Shmyr hockey family, passed away from cancer on Sept. 25.

He was the founder of the Shmyr Flyers, a local senior me’s hockey team without a home rink that was renowned for its fiestiness and prowess in B.C for more than a decade.

The Flyers won the Coy Cup as senior AA provincial champions in 1971/72.

Tony formed the Flyers hockey team, a team made up mostly of ex-professional players, in the mid-1960s.

FormerNHLandWorldHockey League players who played with the Flyers were Barry Wilcox, Jack Michie, Bobby Schmautz, Alton White, Buddy Gulka, Gerry Sillers

and Paul and John Shmyr, among others.

At one time, his brothers Romie, Mike, Peter, John and Paul all made up one line on the Flyers.

Tony was born in Cudworth, Sask. in July of 1932. He was the eldest of six hockey-playing brothers and two sisters.

He leaves three sons Brian, Grant and Larry.

Tony’s main accomplishments

in life were hockey, construction, family and strong, lasting relationships with friends.

Former Shmyr Flyers are inviting the public to the Royal Towers Hotel Pub in New Westminster (Sixth Street and Royal Avenue) on Saturday, Oct. 26 at noon to give a toast and reminisce on the memory of Tony Shmyr. tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Zaborniaks were one happy family at the seventh Commonwealth Karate Championships in Montreal last weekend.

Three members of the Zaborniak family came away with gold medals at the elite competiton that attracts national stream martial artists from Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa.

Alexandra Zaborniak, 14, placed first in sparring in the elite women’s black belt under-54 kilogram age group, while younger sister Stephi also took gold, defeating a South African with a head kick in the final 10 seconds of the match in the girls’ advanced 12/13 under-37 kg final.

Jimmy, nine, completed the rare accomplishment, winning a sparring gold against two Quebec fighters.

“We’ve seen it with brothers and sisters, but never with three. It’s rare to have three kids from the same family. … It’s a difficult feat, for sure,” said Burnaby Karate Academy sensei Sandeep Gill. “This is not a tournament that is easy to win. It puts into perspective how difficult it was to win.”

Academy fighters also medalled in nine other elite divisions.

Jusleen Virk won the women’s under-50kg final, and Derek Chan was the 18-to-20 men’s under68kg champion. Chan also picked up a silver medal in the men’s under-60kg class.

Izzy Chan was a silver medallist in the 16/17 female under-48kg final.

Gurkamal Gill, Vanessa Vung, Jai Sanghera, Harpreet Sidhu and Isaac Mand won bronze medals in their respective elite age and weight classes.

Other academy winners included Cassia Kitaoka and Jacob Mand, who won gold and silver in their respective, 12/13 groups.

Mountain upsets Steelers on two-game losing slide South in soccer quarter-final

◗ JR B HOCKEY

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Grandview Steelers’ hot start cooled dramatically this week.

The junior B Steelers shared a temporary spot atop the Pacific Junior Hockey League last week before dropping a 5-2 decision to the Richmond Sockeyes at home Sunday and a 4-1 loss to the firstplace Delta Ice Hawks on Tuesday.

The back-to-back losses left the Burnaby Winter Club-based club in second place in the Tom Shaw conference with a 6-3-1-2 record.

Quinn Lenihan scored a goal in each of the two losses. Mitchell Steinke also tallied for Grandview against Richmond.

Earlier, the Steelers won their sixth game of the season, beating Mission City 6-3 on Oct. 10.

Christopher Seto was the game’s first star with three assists.

The sixth seeded Lions upset No. 3 Burnaby South 2-1 in one of two quarterfinal matches at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Wednesday.

Chilean international student Andres SainteMarie knocked home the game-winning tally off a goalmouth scramble that resulted from a corner kick late in the second half.

Mountain’s Justin Arcand and Jason Sherle of South exchanged goals earlier in the match.

With their season on the line, South pressed for the equalizer, but Lions’ keeper Diego Cortes was equal to the challenge, stopping a free kick opportunity with 10 minutes left and a late corner kick from South.

“Our motivation and aggression was the difference,” said Italian exchange student Marco Hyrat, who

In the other quarter-final match, Cariboo Hill staged a second-half comeback behind a two-goal effort from captain Kirk Menezes to defeat the Burnaby North Vikings 3-1 in overtime at Burnaby Lake-West.

Paul Park gave North a 1-0 half-time lead, but the Vikings couldn’t hold off the Chargers.

Menezes tied the contest on a shot to the far corner from inside the 18-yard box. He also scored the game-winner in the second period of OT. Alberto Pincelli counted an insurance goal later in the extra-time period.

“We knew it could have been our last game of the season,” said Menezes. “We came together as a team and that’s what we did.”

Mountain will take on regular season champion Burnaby Central in a semifinal match at Burnaby Lake West on Monday. Cariboo Hill will meet Moscrop in the other semi. Both games are 3 p.m. starts.

Comedy at Bernie Legge Theatre There’s still a little time left to catch the Vagabond Players’ seasonopening production.

The comedy-thriller Let’s Murder Marsha is onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre until Oct. 26. It tells the story of happy housewife Marsha Gilmore, who is addicted to reading mystery novels.

When she overhears her husband discussing her upcoming birthday surprise, she is in for a shock – to

her, it sounds like they’re planning to murder her.

The mayhem that follows is brought to life by a cast that includes Julia Grace as Marsha and Miles Lavkulich as her husband Tobias, along with Donna Thompson as the glamorous interior decorator, Persis, who inadvertently starts the trouble.

Joan Koebel joins the cast as Marsha’s mother, with Jordan Spanjers as the nerdy neighbour, Virgil, Claire

Temple as the maid, Bianca, and George Kopf as her policeman father.

It’s on Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The Bernie Legge Theatre is in Queen’s Park. Tickets are $15, or $13 for seniors and students.

Call 604-521-0412 or email reserva tions@vagabondplayers.ca to reserve.
