Change stirs up fears

City councillor says changes could put citizens at risk

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster is sounding alarms about changes to the way ambulances will be dispatched in B.C. Council has spoken out against the B.C. Emergency Health Services’ resource allocation plan, fearing it would cause delays in the dispatch of ambulances and increase demand for fire services to attend and remain at calls.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr believes the proposal is an attempt to reduce calls made by the B.C. Ambulance Service by offloading calls to fire departments. He believes the change will increase costs to the city and will put citizens at risk because of delayed response times.

Coun. Betty McIntosh opposed council’s recommendation to strongly oppose the B.C. Emergency Health Services board’s resource allocation plan, without getting more information about the proposal from the organization. She said the plan is designed to clean up issues related to the dispatch of ambulances to medical calls.

“It’s a different way of dispatching,” she said of the proposal. “It’s a way to make it safer for everyone in the community.”

Uptown eyes a new future Group wants to set up a business improvement area to fund activities, beautification

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Uptown businesses want what the downtown already has – with a twist.

The Uptown New West Business Association has presented the city with a proposal to establish a business improvement area that would help fund street beautification, on-street activity, marketing and promotion, and outreach to some community groups. Its vision is to create a vibrant,

Slotman cited programs that employ people at risk of homelessness or with mental disabilities to do street cleaning and creating new items from street banners as potential examples of community outreach initiatives.

The Uptown Property Group, which owns several buildings in the area, has paid for baskets, banners and street décor in front of its properties.

Bart Slotman, a member of the steering committee that considered the idea, said the average retailer, with 20 feet of storefront, would pay $386 annually into the Uptown New Westminster Business Improvement Area.

“There’s an awful lot of benefit the average retailer gets for $35 a month,” he told The Record. “There’s three street events, there’s the décor part of it with banners, baskets, Christmas lights and all those things.

Larco and Sapperton Green are sure to keep the city’s planning staff on the go in 2014.

Bev Grieve, the city’s manager of development services, said the two projects are priorities for her department this year.

“Those are the two big ones,” she said. “Our work plan is absolutely full.”

Staff will also get started on updating New Westminster’s official community plan.

“You are going to see some preliminary work on the official community plan for real this year. We are really excited about Queensborough being finalized.

We can turn our attention toward the mainland,” Grieve told The Record. “We have a work plan that’s ready to go. You’ll see bits and pieces of the research work being done.”

In December, the city unveiled a waterfront vision concept plan for the Larco site at 660 Quayside Dr. Under the current zoning, the site could accommodate five highrise towers, but under the vision proposed by the city it would have three highrises, a 150-room hotel, an extended waterfront esplanade and child care space.

“That is moving along very well. We will be moving towards the rezoning of the site early in January,” Grieve said. “We will be introducing the rezoning application to council. That’s a huge one on our radar.”

While rezonings most often come from the developer, the city will be initiating the rezoning process for the Larco site.

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Destined to change: Bev Grieve, the city’s director of development services, stands at the Braid SkyTrain station that’s within the Sapperton Green area – one of the planning department’s major undertakings in 2014.

“We have been working incredibly close with Larco, but it will be a city initiative,” Grieve said.

The city has held workshops and open houses as part of the master planning process for the site, and residents will get a chance to comment on the plan during the rezoning process.

“I have to say the feedback has been very, very positive and the people are quite excited about

implementing the vision for the downtown,” Grieve said. “The issues that people raise, the big one of course is traffic. We are working with the applicant, our consultants, in looking at that issue and making sure that we can address it.”

At the same time that the city unveiled the new vision concept for the Larco site, it also presented a downtown parking strat-

egy. Among the recommendations was the demolition of a portion of the Front Street parkade.

“You are going to be seeing a report to council within the next two months on that, an action plan to move forward on that,” Grieve said. “The timeframe we are looking for it to come down is within three years. There were a number of preconditions that ◗Sapperton Page 10

One more vote to keep Robson name

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster school trustees voted unanimously to move forward with the name École John Robson for the new Grade 6 to 8 middle school being built next year.

Trustee David Phelan made a motion to endorse the name, which was recommended last year by a naming committee, at a school board committee meeting on Tuesday night.

“This is a name with a lot of history,” Phelan told the board.

Both Phelan and Graham were on the committee, which also came up with the name for the new elementary school: Qayqayt. The name comes from the Qayqayt First Nation (pronounced Kee-Kite), also known as the New Westminster Indian Band. It roughly translates into “resting place.”

“The committee was really thoughtful in how they deliberated,” Graham said. ◗Robson Page 10

No suspects found

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

An alarming phone call sparked a temporary lockdown of a local school by New Westminster police on Jan. 21.

According to Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland, police received a report indicating four men armed with guns entered an apartment building in the 800-block of McBride Boulevard.

“As you can imagine this elicited a significant police response, including members of the (Lower Mainland District) emergency response team,” Hyland said in an email to The Record.

By about 11:40 a.m., people in the area were tweeting there were about 10 police cars and several officers surrounding

the apartment building. Access to Mott Crescent was closed for a short while and F.W. Howay Elementary School was also put on a temporary lockdown as police searched the area for the suspects, Hyland wrote.

“F.W. Howay school was put on a temporary lockdown out of an abundance of caution, particularly due to the fact that it was near the lunch break and we did not want the kids out while the search for these individuals was going on,” he added.

After an extensive search, police were unable to find any trace of the suspects.

According to Hyland, investigators now believe the call was unfounded.

F.W. Howay was reopened shortly after.

Ambulance: Council concerned ◗ continued from page 1

Columbian Hospital for many years, said there are times when ambulances are called and they are told it’s a “red light” call with red lights and sirens, when it’s not needed.

McIntosh said she couldn’t support council’s motion without getting more information about the plan from B.C. Emergency Health Services. She said she spoke to the city’s fire chief a few weeks ago about the proposal and he didn’t seem all that concerned about the proposed changes.

Coun. Bill Harper said the fire chief voiced concerns about the proposed changes at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting, and he can’t understand McIntosh’s position on this issue. He said some calls now being serviced by ambulances wouldn’t be in the future.

Harper believes there are incidents where it isn’t clear what kind of response is needed when someone first calls for assistance.

“If you are having a panic attack, you sometimes don’t know what is going on,” he said.

IN MY OPINION

Dear Editor:

Re: Coal is critical to B.C. economy, In My Opinion, The Record, Jan. 10.

We understand that Messrs. Gordienko et al feel “Coal is critical to B.C. economy.” They point out that they are not doctors. Fine. So we will not pay heed to their medical opinions.

Suggesting the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks U.S. coal expansion will have no ill health effects in the city is silly.

Anyone familiar with the history of London in the Industrial Revolution or who has visited China recently is quite familiar with the joys of many forms of pollution provoked by the mining, transporting and use of coal. Saying it isn’t so does not change historic facts or make all the ills disappear.

Apparently, these particular union leaders also

lack strength in the area of macroeconomics. Please explain how the Fraser Surrey Docks U.S. coal proposal benefits the B.C. coal industry when the coal it proposes to ship is from the U.S. We note various patriotic statements regarding employment in B.C. – all 25 jobs. I’m all for it! However, thousands and thousands of North American jobs are lost to the value-added production China enjoys as a result of imported coal (for thermo electric or steel production). I’m not for that.

This U.S. coal displaces steel production in Canada. It stimulates all manner of tertiary positions. It creates large volumes of building materials in China and promotes huge movement of goods imported from China to Canada. Give your empty heads a shake, gentlemen! This has a doubly negative impact on Canadian employment, unions and

New Westminster residents suffer a variety of health and lifestyle penalties from other large and unionized operators – the railroads.

In terms of the elevated dust, diesel, noise and other pollution hazards of the Surrey Fraser Docks U.S. coal expansion, I must share that we citizens were here first.

Transport best for U.S. Dear Editor:

Re: Coal is critical to B.C. economy, In My Opinion, The Record, Jan. 10.

In response to Mark Gordienko’s letter, it all sounds wonderful with the jobs and revenue produced by the coal industry in B.C. But this is entirely separate from the coal dock planned at Fraser Surrey Docks.

Opponents of the dock have no problem with the B.C. metallurgical coal, mined, transported and exported for steel manufacturing. What we have a major problem with is the fact that the thermal coal planned for Fraser Surrey Docks will have been mined in Wyoming by U.S. miners, transported on U.S. trains manned by U.S. crews all the way to the docks.

This we are told would result in an additional 25 jobs (which could be reduced by automation).

In any case, B.C. is being used as a soft touch due to the public outcry in Washington and Oregon where, of six docks planned, three have been cancelled

and there is some doubt whether the other three will ever come to fruition due to their much more stringent environmental and public input processes.

Another aspect – is it of no consequence that for every tonne of coal burned, more than two tonnes of pollution are emitted into the atmosphere, much of which falls on our part of North America?

Also the horrendous pollution caused, we are now told, results in up to half a million (yes, half a million) deaths in China annually.

Obviously, the U.S. wants to sell their coal PDQ before China says enough of this insanity. I rest my case.

Ad a ‘freedom of thought’

Dear Editor:

Re: Christian upset over billboard, The Record, Jan. 3.

The front page article about the Centre of Inquiry Canada’s billboard is thought provoking. Someone who is not a christian does not mean they are anti-god. Inquiring is a gift of our brains, our minds and one way humans grow.

Mark Jaskela says “… that somehow belief in the Bible is some kind of assault to freedom of thought…”

Well, isn’t the billboard a freedom of thought and not to be assaulted?

The motive behind the ad may be to promote evidence-based thinking and a way to get energy around creation and values.

If christians like Jaskela feel this freedom of speech has gone too far, I ask, ‘“What is being threatened here and why feel threatened from a different way of believing?”

If we are free to believe within reason, as quoted in the article, who defines “within reason”?

Candidates: Steal from playbooks ◗ continued from page 6

taxpayers on large projects, Port Coquitlam broke the mould this year.

Instead of putting a major recreation centre renovation – and 1.5 per cent tax increase – into their budget, Port Coquitlam went to the public with a 0.34 per cent tax cut and an option to add the rec centre if the community wants it.

Usually cities resist giving taxpayers the facts on what they could save by foregoing flashy projects; this subtle shift to showing what the budget would be without the big project is a major step forward.

Annual business

licences have long been an annoyance to entrepreneurs. While some jurisdictions have tried to push regional licences, the best solution can be found in the City of Langford, which decided to scrap annual business licences altogether. Instead, Langford businesses will pay the old fee once for a “perpetual” licence.

As Mayor Stewart Young pointed out about the old annual system, “What are we going to do (if they don’t pay)? Kick them out? They’re already employing people. We’re happy they’re here in Langford. They give us three times the (property)

taxes as residential and then we mess around with these little $50 business licences.”

Langford expects to make up most of lost annual revenue through increased business and cutting bureaucracy at city hall.

There is nothing new under the sun, Solomon taught us.

Hopefully that chestnut holds true and we see many candidates stealing from the playbooks of Penticton, Prince George, Port Coquitlam and Langford this fall.

it stronger,” said Slotman, vice-president of the Uptown Property Group.

“The BIA would actually enable the uptown area to do a lot more of that. I think it would create a stronger identity and create a stronger retail district.”

The establishment of an Uptown New Westminster Business Improvement Area would generate revenue to help fund initiatives in an area bordered by Fifth Street and Eighth Street and Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue.

“We are not talking about a lot of money,” Slotman said. “Those dollars will stretch a long ways and make the area a lot stronger.”

Several property owners and businesses were part of the steering committee that considered the possibility of creating a business improvement area.

“It was very much driven from the retail business perspective,” Slotman said.

“We know there is good buy-in. There will always be a few people who say nay to something like that. There are always some naysayers.

We have done quite a bit of research, talked to lots of people, and we know that the support is there.”

The City of New

Westminster would collect a levy from property owners in the Uptown New Westminster Business Improvement Area. The Uptown New Westminster BIA would not have an office or staff, as a different model is being proposed from what exists in the downtown.

“This is purely a funding mechanism. One hundred per cent of the funds go directly into those programs,” Slotman said. “It’s not a layer of management or administration where the money is spent. It goes directly to programs. A lot of businesses, once they started understanding that, there was a lot of support for the overall concept of a BIA.” On Jan. 20, New Westminster city council received a report about the establishment of an Uptown New Westminster Business Improvement Area and gave three readings to a bylaw. Council also directed staff to undertake a public process, as required by the Community Charter, to allow affected property owners to petition against the initiative.

A staff report states that council may proceed with the initiative unless there is sufficient petition against it by property owners. It’s

anticipated the BIA would be established effective July 1.

According to Slotman, the BIA would not only help fund initiatives in the commercial area but also expand them and distribute the costs equitably.

“If you look at it historically, when we first did the Christmas lights it was just in front of Westminster Centre. We paid for them.

We had a lot of people call us and say, ‘Hey, how come you got the lights and we didn’t?’ The answer to that is we paid and you didn’t pay for it. A lot of people from the other blocks have been calling us and saying ‘We want that too,’” he said.

“I think the BIA would be a mechanism where we could pay for all of that.”

Slotman also believes the boundaries of the proposed business improvement area could be extended in the future, once property owners in other parts of the uptown see the benefit of the BIA. “What we want to do is get this BIA established, let it prove itself, all the things it can do. What I am hoping for is eventually a year or two years down the road the people in the other blocks see the benefit of it and want to be part of it,” he said. “We see it as a future

expansion. We know with the folks in those blocks they are a bit more skeptical. I think we have to prove ourselves first before we get their support. We did not want to impose it on blocks where the support currently isn’t there. That’s not what we want to do.”

Global clinic opens GRAND OPENING MEDICAL FILE JULIE MACLELLAN

N

ewcomers to Canada who are facing challenges navigating the health-care system have a new place to turn.

A new Global Family Care Clinic has opened at 7315 Edmonds St., in Burnaby’s Highgate neighbourhood. It’s designed to serve newcomers living in Burnaby, New Westminster and surrounding areas.

The clinic offers services for immigrants and refugees who do not have a family physician and have been living in Canada for less than three years.

A press release points out that those people can often face challenges getting health care because of barriers such as language, finances and a lack of family and social support.

Nurse practitioner Kimberley Reid works at the clinic together with consulting family phys-

icians and specialists, as needed.

“At Global Family Care Clinic, we don’t just diagnose illness and prescribe medications, but we take a person’s life circumstances into consideration,” Reid said in the release. “We are the coordinator of their health care and work closely with other health and settlement providers who help secure appropriate housing, English language training and other resources.”

Referrals are being accepted from local organizations who can identify people that will benefit from the services.

RCH donation

A local law firm has reached out to help Royal Columbian Hospital.

Cassady and Company recently donated $5,000 to the Royal Columbian Hospital foundation.

Partners DorieAnne Leggett and Dale Framingham were on hand to present the cheque to Adrienne Bakker, the foundation’s president and CEO, and board vice-chair Doug Eveneshen.

A press release from the hospital notes the money

will help the hospital in its mission to care for seriously ill and injured patients from across British Columbia.

The men and women of the auxiliary donate their time to a range of services that help the hospital’s patients.

were set – we are working through those preconditions to ensure they are addressed.”

Sapperton Green, a site located at Braid Avenue and Brunette Street near the Braid SkyTrain station, is also destined for a mixed-use development.

“The applicant made an official community plan application,” Grieve said. “We are working through the various issues and opportunities that that project is giving us.”

In the first half of the year, city staff will be working on a number of reports to be presented to council about the project.

A representative from Bentall-Kennedy appeared before council last fall to discuss plans for the 38-acre site near the Coquitlam border. At the time, some council members expressed a strong desire to see employment generating uses at the site.

“At this point there hasn’t been discussion about what the distribution of land use is,” Grieve said. “That is what is really what’s next in terms of the work program for that site, to look at the future. What will the future distribution of land use between employment generation and residential be? That, of course, turns in to identifying what the needs are for the site.”

With the development to be located near the busy Braid and Brunette intersection, transportation planning has been “front and centre from the beginning” and has involved the applicant and its planning consultants, the city, the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink, Grieve said.

Robson: Final vote to come ◗ continued from page 3

The naming of the new middle school was delayed for a year. Board of education chair Jonina Campbell said one of the reasons it was held up is that she wanted the new school named after a woman.

“But upon further consideration, I also recognize that a lot went into the decision to make to this recommendation to the board, and I respect that,” she said.

Campbell also noted that Robson was an advocate for women’s rights.

“Every year he submitted a vote to give women the right to vote,” she said.

“He also was an advocate for voter reform, and the follow us on

other thing is he was an advocate for pubic education. … Things I can identify with.”

The middle school name will come before trustees again at a meeting on Jan. 28, where they will vote for a final time on whether or not to approve the new name.

The public will also have an opportunity to weigh in on the name at the meeting.

The new middle school is slated to be built in 2015.

Paying tribute to the golden age Patrick Street Productions celebrates the life’s work of Rodgers & Hammerstein with Out of a Dream

To buy tickets, scan with Layar

BY JULIE MACLELLAN REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

Since its founding in 2007, Patrick Street Productions has been pushing the boundaries of musical theatre for Vancouver audiences – offering up shows that might otherwise never have made their way to the city.

Now, with its first ever two-play season, the New Westminster company is stepping back into the golden age of musical theatre to stage Out of a Dream, a Rodgers and Hammerstein revue.

Out of a Dream runs Feb. 5 to 16 at the York Theatre on Commercial Drive.

New Westminster’s Peter Jorgensen, co-artistic producer of Patrick Street Productions – with his wife, Katey Wright – is directing the production.

That they’ve chosen the work of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to open the season is, Jorgensen said, a fitting gesture for the company devoted to contemporary musical theatre.

“Contemporary musical theatre really began with them, and the risks they took as writers,” he pointed out.

Patrick Street’s second musical, which follows in March, is Floyd Collins – written by current Broadway phenom Adam Guettel, whose Light in the Piazza was a hit for PSP in 2011. Guettel also happens to be the grandson of Rodgers.

“We just love the balance between the two shows and the lineage between Richard Rodgers and Adam Guettel,” Jorgensen said.

Out of a Dream was created by Jorgensen himself. There were already some Rodgers and Hammerstein revues in existence, but Jorgensen chose to create his own, he said, because none of the existing ones honoured the composers in the way he wanted them to be honoured.

Though he’s long been a fan of the duo’s work, he said directing the Chemainus Theatre production of Oklahoma! a few years back gave him an entirely new appreciation of their depths.

“Really sitting down with the music and lyrics and seeing how the songs were constructed, … there was so much sophisticated craftsmanship in what they did,” he said, adding his respect for their work “ballooned” after that. “I wanted to create my own tribute to them.”

Out of a Dream includes songs from all 11 shows created by the duo.

That includes the five big hits – Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music – along with

Romancing the stage: From left, Caitriona Murphy, Warren Kimmel, Kazumi Evans and New Westminster’s Sayer Roberts star in Out of a Dream, onstage at the York Theatre Feb. 5 to 16. the lesser-known State Fair and Cinderella, plus those shows that were considered “flops” – Allegro, Pipe Dream, Me and Juliet, and Flower Drum Song.

Jorgensen noted with a laugh that none of them would be considered failures by today’s standards, since they all ran for at least 200 performances on Broadway.

But they didn’t achieve the same level of fame as other Rodgers and Hammerstein offerings.

In part, Jorgensen said, that’s because the two were pushing the boundaries of musical theatre.

Allegro, for instance, came into being between Carousel and South Pacific.

“They created that show at the peak of their creativity together,” Jorgensen said, noting it shows in the music and in the risks they took with it – even including a Greek chorus to comment on the action.

Jorgensen has woven together offerings from all 11 plays to create an evening that he says will appeal to fans of the

golden era of musical theatre.

“They’ll be taken back to those stories they remember,” he said. “And they’re also going to have some surprises.”

Jorgensen is particularly pleased with the cast he’s assembled for the production.

“We’re lucky in Vancouver. We’re a smaller market, but within our market we’re got really top-notch performers,” he pointed out.

Jorgensen has been able to assemble an “A-list” cast, including Warren Kimmel and Caitriona Murphy, who’ll be familiar from Arts Club and Patrick Street productions.

They’re appearing alongside Kaylee Harwood, best known locally for her performance as Cosette in the Arts Club’s Les Misérables. She also went on to appear at the Stratford Festival and then on Broadway with Stratford’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and this season, she’ll return to Ontario for her second season at the Shaw

Festival.

“Her career has really taken off,” Jorgensen says, noting he’s thrilled to have her in Out of a Dream.

“I feel like she was born to do Rodgers and Hammerstein – the look, the voice, the acting, it’s all there.”

They’re joined by two young performers whom Jorgensen describes as two “huge up-and-comers”: Kazumi Evans and Sayer Roberts.

Evans – who played Maria in Royal City Musical Theatre’s West Side Story in 2008 – has been on Jorgensen’s radar for quite some time. Most recently, he notes, while he was directing Arts Club’s Avenue Q, Evans stepped in partway through the run when another performer had to withdraw.

Roberts, meanwhile, is a New Westminster native who most recently dazzled local audiences in last year’s Royal City Musical Theatre production ◗Theatre Page 16

◗ IN THE LIBRARY

The ‘too busy’ disease

BY SHELLEY WILSON-ROBERTS CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Too many of us, when asked how we are, answer “busy” as if it is a badge of honour. We would do well to keep in mind some wise words from Socrates, “beware the barrenness of a busy life.”

Use time management tools to help free yourself from busyness and carve out time to enjoy your life.

The New Westminster Public Library has a number of books on time management and stress. Here are a few that may prove useful to you.

Too Busy For Your Own Good, by Connie Merritt, promises to give you skills to leave the “island of too busy,” and divides itself into conquering stress and

busyness at work and at home. She suggests that being busy is unproductive and unhealthy, and the strategies outlined in this book will empower you to get your life back – and maybe even enjoy it.

“How did I get so busy?” Do you ask yourself this question often?

Try Valorie Burton’s book.

Full of self-care strategies (often a foreign concept during the holiday season), How Did I Get so Busy? offers a 28-day plan to help you rid your life of the negative effects of overwork and stress.

Subtitled A Handbook for the Overworked, Overscheduled, and Overwhelmed, the book Manage Your Time to Reduce Your Stress by Rita Emmett has chapters called “Trash

Perfectionism,” “Set Boundaries at Work and at Home,” and “Strive to Recharge Your Battery Daily.”

100 Great Time Management Ideas has a corporate focus, but the brief and to-the-point content will appeal to readers looking to grab some quick fixes for varied workplace inefficiencies.

All of these books are relatively short, with clear tables of contents to help you make the most of your reading time and zero in on the strategies that appear most relevant to your life.

A busy life isn’t always a meaningful one, so make time in your life for the activities and people you love – with the library’s help.

he star of Royal City Musical Theatre’s spring production of Annie will help open this year’s Variety – Show of Hearts.

Local arts promoter Tony Antonias reports that Julia MacLean, who has been selected to star as Annie, will open the telethon on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. Royal City Musical Theatre will donate $5 from any ticket purchased on the weekend to Variety – the Children’s Charity.

“See our Annie, Julia MacLean, and catch her rendition of Tomorrow,” Antonias told city council Monday night. “You’ll love what you see and what you hear.”

Royal City Musical Theatre is presenting Annie on the Massey Theatre stage for its 25th anniversary. The show will run from April 10 to 26 and features such memorable tunes as Tomorrow and It’s a Hard Knock Life.

Antonias noted that Royal City Musical Theatre has become famous for putting on Broadway-quality productions – at New Westminster prices. This year’s production is being dedicated to Royal City Musical Theatre’s founding artistic director Ed Harrington, who passed away in April 2013.

The generosity of Queen’s Park residents made it a December to remember for local resident Robert Jost.

Jost, who delivers newspapers in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, was overwhelmed by the gifts he received from residents on his route.

“The gifts I have received this year have been absolutely unbelievable,” he told city council Jan. 20. “I want to thank the people from the bottom of my heart.”

Thanks to the generosity of Queen’s Park residents, Jost said he enjoyed the best December of his life.

“It left me stunned,” he said. “I really thank the residents from the bottom of my heart for the generosity and kindness I have never seen before.”

The Stage New Westminster is thankful for the support shown for its Festival of Trees.

Folks from John Robson, Richard McBride, Connaught Heights and Queen Elizabeth elementary schools and the New Westminster Home Learners volunteered to decorate a tree in the theme of their choosing over the Christmas holidays. After the trees

John Robson came out the winner, earning 27 per cent of the total votes.

Funds raised at the event have been donated to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation and the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society.

“The event truly embodied community spirit, just as we hoped it would,” said The Stage New Westminster owner/director Stefanie Swinnard in a press

release.

The Stage also teamed up with Quayside Community Board on a food drive effort, raising more than 45 cubic feet of canned food.

“These were large boxes given to us by Great Little Box Company in Richmond, and they were full,” Swinnard said.

“Immovable by a single person alone.”

All of the food collected at the festival was donated to the Lookout Emergency Aid Society and the New Westminster Food Action committee.

“We are so grateful

to have been received so well in New West during our inaugural event,” Swinnard said. “The businesses that sponsored us, including Donald’s Market and River Market, the schools that accepted our invitation, and the community members who donated made this event the best it could have been in its first year.”

The Stage New Westminster hopes to run the event annually and encourages anyone who wants to be involved to visit www.thestagenew west.ca or email info@the stagenewwest.ca.

of Oklahoma! – a role that has earned him an Ovation Award nomination.

“People were raving about his performance,” Jorgensen says.

He adds that he loves finding young talent like Evans and Roberts.

“It’s exciting when you find the show that you go, ‘That’s the one, that’s the one I want to work with you on.’”

Wrapping the evening up in a perfect package is the fact that its run extends over Valentine’s Day – and Rodgers and Hammerstein were nothing if not romantic.

“It’s one of their strong suits,” Jorgensen said with a smile. “It’ll be a really lovely show to take your honey to.”

Patrick Street has teamed up with Federico’s Supper Club to offer dinner

and show packages, with a special offering for Valentine’s evening.

Jorgensen is hoping the show will draw an audience that might not have ventured out to some of Patrick Street’s earlier, lesser-known productions.

Once they’re in, he says, he hopes those same audience members will think about returning for a future performance – such as, for instance, Floyd Collins, which is running March 11 to 30.

See www.patrickstreetproductions.com for more details.

Out Of A Dream runs Feb. 5 to 16 at the York Theatre, 639 Commercial Dr. in Vancouver. It’s on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets start at $19. Buy online at tickets.thecultch.com or by phone at 604-2511363.

◗ OUR PAST

Taking a look at Pattullo’s past OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

I

t seems that every day we hear comments about the Pattullo Bridge.

This iconic bridge, which opened in the fall of 1937, has served the region well, one of a short list of such structures on this stretch of the Fraser River.

Much has been written regarding the history of the many crossings – past, present and future – of the Fraser River.

There is continued interest in background stories of the bridges in the Royal City, especially the 1904 Westminster rail and road crossing, and the Pattullo.

Recently we reviewed a Vancouver newspaper’s special supplement for the bridge’s opening in 1937 and were reminded of some interesting quotes from 77 years ago.

On one page of the

issue, Premier “Duff’” Pattullo comments, “Today we may stand on the new bridge and view the delight of scenery and reflect on the utility of the bridge at the same time; and if we can understand the voices of the ceaselessly rushing waters under the bridge, I think we can hear them say, ‘It is good.’”

While it seems quite clear that this structure has reached its best before date, it is also quite clear that for many decades it was “good.”

In the same supplement, in an article entitled Mayor Hume Tells of Fight for New Fraser Span, there are a number of comments from the mayor’s speech at a celebratory luncheon held in Queen’s Park Arena to mark the bridge’s opening.

One particular quote from the outspoken mayor clearly points out a bit of Lower Mainland transportation history as of 1937.

It is a point that is often overlooked, but was of vital importance in its day.

“May I remind you people of Vancouver that, apart from the railways, you have only two ways

of entering your city, – one is by water and the other has been for the past 30 years over a 15-foot (wide) bridge over the Fraser River at this city.

From the mouth of the Fraser River to the city of Mission is about 55 miles.

On both sides of the river including the cities of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster over 400,000 people live and are dependent on one 15-foot swing-span bridge for the daily flow of private motor cars, commercial trucking and transportation of the necessities of life from the farms of the Fraser Valley.”

Hume, of course, was referring to the 1904 bridge, which served double duty for road and rail until the former function was replaced by the very modern and highly innovative Pattullo Bridge.

He asked a rhetorical question about what was best – a new toll bridge or the old span? A safe ride over a “four lane high level structure” or a “low level bridge built for horse-drawn traffic of a third of a century ago?”

Interesting, isn’t it, how the past and present sometimes sound so similar?

Baja By Day

In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, this year’s trends include green margaritas, Mezcal tastings, and parrotfish at the ceviche bar.

stay

Greeted with a refreshing cilantro margarita, you know you’ve arrived in style at Esparanza Resort. Airy rooms have private outdoor hot tubs or hammocks, and the pool extends infinity-style over the beach. With a focus on health and wellness, complimentary breakfast includes chlorophyll water (another trend we saw this year) which we highly recommend following the invigorating morning yoga or bootcamp on the beach. www.esperanzaresort.com

do

While it is tempting to stay seaside, venturing inland to Flora Farms for a cooking class is a highly recommended diversion. Wander the manicured paths among the organic vegetables, tour the gorgeous straw-bale Culinary Cottages for purchase or rent, and take a class in the open air kitchen where you might learn to make corn tortillas and authentic salsa from a Mexican chef. In high season, there are movie nights where classic films are played on large screens and the wood-burning pizza oven is put to good use. www.flora-farms.com

spa

The Auriga Spa greets you with a refreshing green smoothie and healthy snacks determined by the phase of the moon. Start in The Grotto, where you cycle between sauna, steam and ice rooms, quenching your skin with fresh aloe vera leaves. A foot bath with fresh herbs follows, in keeping with the spa’s philosophy of traditional folk healing methods, or “curanderismo.” A local healer can be called upon, or book with one of the talented massage therapists in a private room overlooking a saltwater meditation pool.

by Sara Samson

In her new tome, The Body Book, Cameron Diaz shares her experiences for a healthier, happier, fitter life.

If you’re like us, fake eyelashes are usually reserved for special events (think hot dates and girls’ night out), mostly because it’s tedious to apply and remove them.

But thanks to Benefit’s They’re Real mascara we are rocking the big, beautiful lash look daily.

And we must say, it’s actually a breath of fresh air from the sometimes eye-rolling, out-of-touch celebrity lifestyle books. Diaz has an enviable body and an effortless California-girl thing about her so we were intrigued to find out her secrets.

This miracle mascara is basically an every-day substitute for fake eyelashes and packs a double punch with volume and length. We also love the tiny bristles on the edge of the brush to get those small inner lashes.

Thankfully, we didn’t find suggestions for crash diets or ridiculous detox cleanses, but instead helpful, realistic advice like how to sneak in exercise throughout your day and chugging a huge glass of lemon water first thing in the morning to kick start your day.

Midget Giants back in first

Taking on a challenge: A Burnaby/New Westminster ringette player, in black, gets the better of a Lower Mainland AA Select defender in an under-16 matchup at Moody Park last Saturday.

Rugby Canada to host Japan in test at Swangard Rugby Canada announced the return of international men’s rugby to Canada’s West Coast at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby on June 7.

The full international test match will be the first game of the 2014 Pacific Nations Cup, where 15th-ranked Canada will take on both No.14 Japan and the No. 18 United States in June.

Canada is sure to be keen to take on the Japanese squad that was responsible for this country’s only defeat at last year’s series. Canada and Japan have a storied rivalry that dates back to an international tournament in 1932.

Canada’s back row forward Jebb Sinclair knows the intense rivalry that exists between Canada and the Japanese team well. The two nations fought each other to a draw at the last two World Cups. He is looking forward to the opportunity to take on the high-flying Japanese on home soil.

“Well, Japan has had our number over the last four or five tests. We’ve tied them twice at the last two World

Cups. In 2011, we had to play some of our best rugby in the last 15 minutes or so to come back to tie them. Sadly though, they’ve beat us twice as well.

I’m looking forward to a long-awaited return fixture,” said Sinclair in a Rugby Canada press release.

“We’ve been a very different beast when playing in Canada, and it’ll be exciting to get back to the Vancouver area and play a game on the West Coast.

There’s been quite a rivalry building over the years with Japan, so it’ll be good to get our first win against them in a while on home soil.”

The Pacific Nations Cup is an important part of the International Rugby Board’s strategic development program for emerging rugby nations like Canada, Fiji Samoa and Japan.

Extra seats will be added to the 4,500seat stadium in Burnaby to accommodate the expected large crowd. Canada has not played Japan on home turf since 2000 in Markham, Ont. tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Northwest Giants are back in a share of first place following the B.C. major midget all-star weekend in Langley.

Giants’ forward Justin Szeto scored two goals, including his 20th of the season to lift the Burnabybased club to a 4-1 win over the North Island Silvertips on Saturday.

Defenceman Dante Fabbro counted a fourpoint effort on Sunday to pace the Giants to a 7-2 win in the weekend series rematch.

Fabbro also tallied a pair of goals for Team White in the league’s annual all-star showcase matchup at the George Preston rec centre in Langley that was played on Jan. 17.

The wins, coupled with the Okanagan’s 4-3 upset loss to Fraser Valley, drew the Giants even with the Rockets in the standings, both with identical 12-4-1 records.

League scoring leader, Colton Kerfoot, got the Giants out to an early firstperiod lead in the opening game.

Szeto potted what proved to be the eventual game-winner from Quinn Thompson just minutes later with his first of backto-back markers. Thompson assisted on the Giants’ first three goals of the game.

In the later game, Fabbro, who leads all defencemen in overall league scoring, scored his 14th goal of the campaign while adding three helpers as the Giants silenced a 2-2 first-period scoreline with five unanswered goals.

“We didn’t get the outcome I thought we deserved (at the Christmas Mac’s tournament). The youth showed. I think that’s why (the players) came back with a spark,” said Giants coach Clint Thornton.

The Giants are at the Burnaby Winter Club on Saturday against the thirdplace Valley West Hawks.

Puck drops at 7:45 p.m.

The two teams go at it again on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre at 3:30 p.m.
