Two years ago, when Mohammed Alsaleh was just 24 years old writing a test for medical school, Syrian state forces marched into his classroom and arrested him. He was detained for 120 days, tortured and nearly killed. “This is why I left my country,” he says. “If I go back, I will be dead.” He went to neighbouring Lebanon, and with help from the United Nations High

Commission for Refugees, came to Canada and settled in New Westminster nine months ago. But he came alone and left behind three brothers and two sisters – all younger – and his mother. His father passed away 16 years ago. When people ask how his family’s doing, he’s not sure what to say. “They are in danger,” he says. “I just say they are still alive luckily, and I don’t know about tomorrow.They might not make it. They might not survive. I might receive bad

New Westminster is taking the plunge and embarking on plans to build a brand new pool. Canada Games Pool’s days are numbered after a technical assessment of the pool’s infrastructure concluded it’s in “critical” condition.The city had been contemplating whether to refurbish the existing facility or build a new pool, but has concluded its money is better spent building a new facility. Canada Games Pool is one of the most important civic facilities in New Westminster and has the highest usage and attendance of all the city’s facilities, said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “Unfortunately, it is also a facility that is starting to show its age,” he said. “As the (staff) report highlights, the millions of dollars of maintenance that would have to go in just to keep the facility going is starting to get to a breaking point.The decision has been made to move forward with the redevelopment of a new Canada Games Pool.” According to the staff report, the city would need to spend $11.2 million in the next 20 years to renew the facility, with $2.3 million needed in 2016 and $6.9 million required in 2019.Those repairs would require the pool to be shut down for about two months in 2016 and four months in 2019. In addition to sinking millions of dollars into an aging facility, the city is also concerned the pool is “reaching a degree of functional obsolescence” when the city’s current and future recreational needs are considered.The pool was built for the 1973 Canada Summer Games. A staff report outlined a variety of repairs needed to the pool’s architectural, mechanical and electrical systems in the next five Continued on page 8

City prepares for 100 Syrian refugees Community members urged to check out what they can do to help refugees By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is making plans to welcome more than a hundred Syrian refugees in the coming weeks. John Stark, the city’s senior social planner, said New Westminster has made “great strides” with developing settlement services in the last five years. He said the city has a really important role to play as a coordinator with the incoming refugees. “We expect there will be 100-plus arriving in New Westminster over the next six to eight weeks, which is a really short time span,”

Stark said. The city expects to have a better sense of the Syrian refugee situation after a Nov. 26 planning meeting with other organizations. “Right now, community members have been asked to go to Immigrant Services Society of B.C. website. On that website you can provide information as to whether you’d like to volunteer, make a donation, whether you have space available that could potentially accommodate a refugee or a refugee family,” Stark said. “They do have information there with regard to private sponsorships. It is a tremendous responsibility so there

is information there to educate individuals.” More than four million people have fled Syria and an additional eight million have been displaced within the country since the civil war began in 2011, stated a Nov. 16 staff report to city council. The city chairs the Welcoming and Inclusive New West (WINS) Local Immigration Partnership Council, which is monitoring the situation in Syria and exploring strategies to address any future refugees from Syria and Iraq.The city is also in contact with the Immigrant Services Society of B.C., which estimates B.C. will receive between 2,500 and 2,750 refugees, with about 100 (four per cent) settling in New Westminster.

“With regard to the Kurd refugees who are coming predominantly from Syria and Iraq, private sponsorships are being encouraged,” Stark said. “At this point we are still trying to get information in regards to how much senior government assistance will be available to municipalities with regards to assisting those individuals.” During the recent federal election campaign, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged that Canada would accept 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year. Some have suggested that Trudeau should re-evaluate his election promise in light of the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, but he’s said the government will find a way to bring the refugees to

Canada in a secure way. “Nobody is more a victim of the terrorists than the people who are running away from them, who have

lost their homes and lost members of their family,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. McEvoy said he was disappointed to hear of an arson attack on a mosque

in Peterborough, Ont. last weekend. “We are going to have thousands of people coming into our country like we always have had.The welcome and the integration and the support that people get always matters,” he said. “My answer to those who want to say that they don’t want to extend that welcome is, just be as loving and open and welcoming as you can. If we reflect the values of our country properly, we will be fine in the future.” The City of New Westminster has developed a list of international and local organizations that are working to address the needs of Syrian refugees and posted the information on its website, www.newwestcity.ca.

‘That little boy could have been my brother’ Continued from page 1 brothers making that same perilous crossing. “I was shocked when I saw that picture. At the same period in time, my brothers were doing the same.That little boy could have been my brother,” he says. But his brothers made it to Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and are now in Germany, safe and sound.

THE CONFLICT BEHIND THE REFUGEE CRISIS Meanwhile, Mohammed’s remaining siblings and mother are living in the city of Al-Hasakeh, in Syria’s northeast region, where there’s a truce between Kurdish militants and the Syrian regime because the city is under attack from ISIS. “This situation wouldn’t have gotten this bad if it was resolved in the early stages, when it was just a group of people demanding their rights and asking for change, asking for a dictator to step down,” Mohammed says. “(Assad’s) the real devil. He has killed 500,000 people so far. ISIS has just stepped in the conflict. They have been active for like a year or so.They have killed a few thousand compared to the hundreds of thousands (Assad) killed, you know?” Mohammed hopes the international community steps in to help end the crisis that’s driving people from their homeland. “If the world and nations of the world want to find a real solution to end the suffering of the people

they will have to resolve the conflict,” he says. “Those people are running from a dictatorship cracking down and using indiscriminate bombs.They bomb cities, without knowing (if they’re) bombing civilians or people with guns. … On the other side they have these terrorist groups that are trying to take over and force their agendas. All of this is forcing people to leave their house, their educations, and have these backpacks going on this horrifying journey through at least eight countries.”

BRINGING HIS FAMILY HERE Mohammed tries to keep in touch with his family, but with no communication infrastructure, it’s difficult. “I have tried every single resource here to bring them, but unfortunately it seems impossible,” he says. “Under the current laws in Canada, it’s not possible to bring them.” Mohammed has thought about sponsorship, but that requires a group of five people with thousands of dollars to guarantee the financial stability of the family for the first year. Mohammed doesn’t even know five people in Canada. Meanwhile, he’s going to night classes to retrain as a medical assistant to help nurses and volunteering as a translator to help other refugees. He gave up on his dream of becoming a doctor when he discovered he would have to start eight years of studies from scratch. Like all government-assisted refugees, Mohammed got settle-

THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS HIM GOING

“I have seen lots of bad stuff, I have been through a lot, and I’ve seen lots of people dying. I’ve lost a lot of friends during that time,” Mohammed says, his voice trailing off, clearly upset. The only thing that keeps him going is his family. “I tried to bring them here,” he

said. “I hope current laws change, and the change will help me bring them (here.) Until then, I will do whatever I can to do a new life, get a job and support them with money.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Opinion OUR VIEW

It is simply the right thing to do

Canada’s commitment to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees should make us all proud. Will it be a completely smooth undertaking? Probably not. Change seldom is. But not only is it the right thing to do, it proves that we do learn from history’s lessons. Here on the West Coast we have not always acted with compassion where refugees are concerned. In 1914, the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru sailed

from Hong Kong to Vancouver carrying 376 passengers from Punjab, British India. Of them, 24 were admitted to Canada, but the other 352 other passengers were not allowed to land in Canada, and the ship was forced to return to India. The passengers consisted of 340 Sikhs, 24 Muslims and 12 Hindus, all British subjects.The reason for not allowing them onto Canadian soil? Exclusion laws of the time were designed to keep out immigrants of Asian or-

igin. And then, of course, there was the Chinese head tax – another stain on our history. It took more than 120 years for Canada to apologize for those actions and offer redress to the descendants of Chinese immigrants. On the eastern coast of Canada in 1939, 907 Jewish refugees aboard the German transatlantic liner St. Louis were escaping Nazi Germany.They sought refuge in Canada. Canada re-

fused to take them in and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concentration camps. After the Second World War, Canada offered refugee status to Hungarians and Czechs as their liberties were under attack. And, then, of course, Canada offered a home to Vietnam War draft dodgers, Russian Mennonites,Vietnamese,Tibetans and Ugandans seeking refuge. Our country’s communities are richer for the mix of

life experiences, cultures, religions and ethnic diversity that refugees offer.The Syrians are no different from all of those other groups and many more that have come to Canada hoping for a better, safer life for themselves and their families. Whether your ancestors were fortunate enough to have money socked away to buy first-class boat or airplane tickets and be greeted with a good job when they landed in Canada, or whether they came with

nothing but the clothes on their backs and a dream, unless we are First Nations individuals, we are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants. There is not one among us who has not benefited by someone else’s kindness or this country’s policies of compassion and justice. Why would we not wish that for others and make it so if we can? COMMENT ON THIS AT

NewWestRecord.ca

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Get ready for a B.C. brawl The legislature is wrapping up its fall sitting this week, and one side in that conflicted house is leaving with a much bigger smile on their collective face.That would be New Democratic Party MLAs, who used their time during the short session to effectively drag the B.C. Liberals through various shards of glass, most of which emerged courtesy of the government’s curious inability to not destroy public records (or to even create them in the first place). During the session, the B.C. Liberals seemed, well, bored for the most part. There was certainly nothing on the legislative agenda to create much interest or fiery debate.When the government side dreams up a law to formally create a “red tape reduction day” (and precious little of other legislation), that kind of tells you there’s not much gas left in the tank.Throw in the fact the MLAs spent several days talking about how scenic or historic or just plain nice their home ridings are (part of a motion on redrawing the electoral map) and it becomes abundantly clear that sometimes, the legislature really doesn’t need to be recalled. But yet it does. The legislature is also there to allow the Opposition an opportunity to hold the government’s feet to the proverbial fire. And, through the theatrical tool of Question Period, the NDP did just that on a daily basis.The scandalous

details of the improper deletion of government emails provided the NDP ample fodder to lay the lumber on the government benches over and over again. The recent session also showed the NDP has adopted a much more aggressive tone in its attacks on the B.C. Liberals in general and on Premier Christy Clark in particular.The civil, almost polite tone that characterized the reigns of both Carole James and Adrian Dix is gone.The new strategy matches the in-your-face fiery manner of the current leader, John Horgan. Considering the old approach resulted in losing three elections, it’s hard to fault the new one. In some ways, we are seeing a return to the days when B.C. politics really was a kind of blood sport.That would be the time when the NDP and its arch foe, the Social Credit Party, would rather spit in each other’s faces than have a decent conversation with each other. Of course, the NDP rarely won elections with that approach either. But they came very close to winning several times. Horgan and the NDP have served official notice: the run-up to the next election is going to be rough going. I suspect Clark and her caucus won’t shy away from what’s shaping up to be an old-fashioned brawl. Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Remembrance Day was poorly done

Social media buzzes about Remembrance Day in #NewWest

Dear Editor For more than 20 years, my wife and I have been attending Remembrance Day services at the Royal Westminster Regiment Armories in New Westminster, right above city hall. They have always been a very moving and well done joint effort by the Royal Westminster Regiment and the City of New Westminster. But not this year. For some bizarre reason the City of New Westminster not only refused to participate with the Royal Westminster Regiment but actually seemed to try to undermine their service. In past years, the city has contributed to the security of the service in the Armoury as well as providing some financial and technical support. This year they withdrew all of that support. So the United Church across the street that was normally used to provide overflow space for the great turnout was closed today with a sign on the door saying that because “the City of New Westminster has security concerns, the church is closed for the Remembrance Day ceremony.” What this means is that the city withdrew funding for security. The overflow crowds were told to go wait on the lawn in front of city hall for the city’s service from 9 a.m. until 10:30. They also blocked off the stairs leading up to city hall where so many seniors and veterans were able to rest so they could run a red carpet down the steps for the so-called dignitaries. This year, not only did the City of New Westminster not have even a council member present at the service in the Armoury, they timed their service to start while the Royal Westminster Regiment service was still in progress. This meant that the city service was already in progress before the parade to the cenotaph was even started. Veterans and seniors had to rush around to the front of city hall to be present for the service and the two minutes of silence and the laying of the wreaths. The mayor, councillors and bureaucrats of the City of New Westminster owe an apology to the soldiers of the Royal Westminster Regiment, the veterans in the city and to all the citizens who attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in New Westminster.

Remembrance Day in a nutshell

Dear Editor A beautiful day, a huge crowd and a whole lot of confusion. Maureen Albanese, by email

‘Propaganda’ does disservice to readers

Dear Editor How can you allow Theresa McManus’ column to be published with the obviously bogus artistic rendering of “what the Front Street Mews will look like when it’s completed in 2016.” Where are the hundreds of semi-trailers per hour shown in this rendering? My only assumption is that the grey haze in the bottom half of the picture’s background is smog from the air pollution caused by these hidden vehicles. When you reprint the city’s propaganda that is clearly not representative of what conditions will actually be, you do a disservice to your readers. Doug Whicker, New Westminster

You guys rock! @BillardArch I’m proud of my son for marching w/ @102_FRASER cadets on 6th Ave #newwest but I don’t ever want to see it be “real”

Mayor wants to liven up public areas John Ashdown Mayor COTE’ should stay home and fix problems with infrastructure before coming up with more ideas which have been proven to do nothing but waste tax $$$$. Parklets successful???? not what I see 2-3 times a day! His Urban studies have done nothing but increase the need for more staff. He will put table and chairs out for thieves to remove. There is no shortage of places to sit in New West. Fix the roads and sidewalks would be a better direction to follow.

Pool in process Continued from page 1 years. The condition of a number of “hidden services” cannot be fully evaluated due to the significant cost and disruption such as piping and electrical conduits. “What we do know are the big ones.The unknowns just amplify that even further,” Gibson told the Record. “Without doing what we call destructive testing, which is opening up pool decks and digging up the ground, you can really only go on the experiences and opinions of consultants who look at these things on a regular basis.” If any of these systems were to fail, the pool could be off-limits to community members for a considerable time. “If you have to dig up a main drain line, for example, you are closing the pool down to do that work.You are not out for days, you are out for months,” Gibson said. “That interruption in service is probably one of the big drivers we are concerned with.” Cote said the city will be

embarking on a significant process over the next two years to plan and develop the pool. The city will be applying for potential grants from the federal government to help with the cost of replacing Canada Games Pool. The city’s 2015 capital budget includes $100,000 for this project, but staff anticipate about $200,000 will be required in the next nine months to do the work that’s needed to submit a grant application. A staff report to council included the costs of recently constructed aquatic centres: Guildford Aquatic Centre in Surrey – $47.3 million; Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre – $55 million; the UBC Aquatic Centre – $39.9 million. “That hasn’t been determined,” Gibson said of the new pool’s location. “It would be prudent for the city to examine all of its options that are there. Given the size of the footprint of any new building, it does limit the number of options the city might have.”

Missing man’s body found Foul play is not suspected in the death of 76-year-old resident Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The search for a missing New West senior came to a tragic end on Monday, when the body of Mathieu Joseph Racine was found near the 22nd Street SkyTrain station. For more than five days, New Westminster police had been searching for the missing 76-year-old, who was last seen at his home in the 400 block of Third Avenue around 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. Investigators had even gone as far as to ask local residents to check their garages and sheds for any sign Racine might have been seeking refuge from the poor weather during the past few days. But around 3 p.m. on Monday, a passerby spotted Racine’s body on an embankment in the 2200 block of Seventh Avenue, just south of the 22nd Street SkyTrain station. “The outcome is the worst kind of ‘worst-case scenario,’” said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department. Police were especial-

ly concerned for Racine’s well-being because the senior suffered from dementia and glaucoma. He had disappeared before, but was usually found quickly, either wandering the streets or inside 24-hour coffee shops. While investigators continue to investigate Racine’s death, foul play or any criminal activity has been ruled out, Scott told the Record. Investigators are now trying to piece together Racine’s movements over the past few days to see how he ended up near the SkyTrain station, nearly 20 blocks from his home. “We are still reviewing a number of different surveillance footages that would have been in and around the SkyTrain and other businesses … , just to see what may have led up to (Racine) getting there,” he added. It’s now up to the B.C. Coroners Service to determine Racine’s cause of death. The Record spoke with coroner spokesperson Barbara McLintock, who confirmed the Coroners Service is investigating, but it was still too soon to say what killed Racine.

City

Council backs ‘aggressive’ new strategy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council has approved a strategic vision that identifies 31 priorities it will work on in the next three years. The strategic plan includes five capital projects to be completed by 2018, and 10 more capital projects that will be advanced by 2018. It also includes eight policy and planning initiatives to be completed in 2015 and 2016 and eight more that will be done between 2016 and 2018.

There are many exciting plans and processes underway

“There are many exciting plans and processes underway.This is an aggressive program,” said Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer. “We are going to consult the community at various stages with each initiative and provide council with regular updates.” Council has been working with staff to develop the strategic plan since soon after the November 2014 civic election.

The capital projects to be competed in the next three years are: an affordable housing project for lowto moderate-income families and seniors; the Front Street parkade and mews components of the waterfront vision; an Intelligent City fibre-optic network; a new animal shelter and tow yard; and the Q2Q pedestrian and bicycle bridge that will link Queensborough to the Quay. Other capital projects to be worked on by 2018 include: library upgrades; waterfront greenway; Sapperton district energy system; train whistle cessation; city hall upgrades; Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre upgrades; sustainable transportation; Massey Theatre replacement; commercial recycling; and sewer rehabilitation. In 2015 and 2016 the city will complete policy and planning initiatives related to public engagement, an official community plan update, the economic health care cluster around Royal Columbian Hospital, affordable housing policy, master transportation plan implementation strategy, child and youth friendly city strategy, economic development strategy and social equity policy. By 2018, the city aims to complete initiatives related to high-quality

Should spanking be criminalized? Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school board is preparing to decide whether or not to throw its support behind a campaign to criminalize spanking and other forms of child corporal punishment. At its Nov. 24 public meeting, trustees will vote on a motion to support Corrine’s Quest, a group working to ban the physical punishment of children. The organization wants the federal government to repeal Section 43 of the Criminal Code, the socalled “spanking law.” The law allows a parent or “person standing in the place of a parent” to use “force by way of correction towards a pupil or child … if the force does not exceed what is reasonable under the circumstances.”

Corrine’s Quest chair Kathy Lynn and former New Westminster MLA and MP Dawn Black first asked for the board’s support during a presentation at a Sept. 15 meeting. Trustees will vote next Tuesday on the motion, which also calls for the board to write letters supporting the repeal of Section 43 to various federal and provincial ministers. If the motion is approved, the board will also forward the matter to the B.C. School Trustees Association for consideration at its upcoming 2016 annual general meeting. “In this day and age we should be moving beyond the necessity of physically punishing children to get them to comply,” states a rationale for the motion prepared by trustee Michael Ewen.

and effective organizations, regional leadership, truck route strategy, asset management, environment strategy, a tourism plan, a main street/retail business district attraction and retention strategy, and land acquisition and disposition strategy. “We are going to be very, very busy over the next three years,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I think this

is a very aggressive agenda, but also an important agenda. It takes into consideration that we are facing a number of issues related to transportation, aging infrastructure, and longstanding issues like railway (whistle) cessation that we’ve been working on for a number of years and trying to find some solutions.” Coun. Bill Harper said a

major link among several of the initiatives is that they relate to economic development strategy, which brings revenues to the city, provides employment and helps business and community members thrive. “It is a very ambitious program, but I think it is something that we can accomplish,” he said. “Hopefully there won’t be a lot of

roadblocks in our way.” Harper is hopeful the city will once again be able to get provincial and federal grants. “Our job really is to juggle the priorities and the budget,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “We would love to do it all, but we have to do it in a certain stage and a certain order. It’s a wonderful list.”

‘They came in droves’ Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Melissa Maltais was chilled to the bone after the inaugural winter market in uptown New West – but she wasn’t complaining one bit. While Royal City Farmers Market would like to have a few sunny days, the market’s operations manager was amazed by the number of people who attended the opening day of the winter market even though it was pouring rain. “They came in droves,” she told the Record. “It was a really great day.” Despite the downpour, Maltais was confident folks would attend the Royal City Farmers Market’s first market in the uptown. “It showed how supportive the community is of our new location,” she said. “Our vendors tell me that they saw a lot of new customers, as well as returning customers. A lot of the new ones were just so excited to have that access to the market.There was quite a few seniors from our seniors’ shuttle program.They are now within walking distance.” Maltais’ faith in the community translated into support from vendors signed up for the winter market. “None of my vendors cancelled.They knew it was going to be torrential down-

pours,” she said. “One of them even drove from Cawsten – the one who brought the apples.That’s by Osoyoos.That was the only market she was doing that weekend, but she drove all the way down.” In past years, Royal City Farmers Market has held its winter market in River Market at the Quay. “The one big opportunity we have is being able to expand and have more and different vendors,” Maltais said of the new location. “On Saturday we had three new farms that we have never had at our summer market before.We had three new farms, we had Urban Digs come and sell pork products.We don’t have a pork product vendor at our summer market, so it’s a great way for us to expose our community to new vendors and have new vendors come and join us.This is a new testing ground for them, which is exciting for us.” The next winter market will be held on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Belmont Street.

Community Students hear a safety message Continued from page 13 workplace accidents. A variety of speakers are visiting schools across the province to help encourage kids not to end up like them. Recently, Mark Johnson and Michael Lovett told their stories to about 200 New Westminster Secondary School students in a number of Grade 10 classes over a number of days earlier this month. Eight years ago, Johnson had only been working at a sawmill for nine months when he nearly died in a workplace incident. He was cleaning out a wood chipper when his left arm became trapped in the heavy machinery; while Johnson didn’t lose his arm, he’s been left with limited wrist and shoulder function. “No amount of work is worth losing a limb, or even a finger,” Johnson said. “I want people to think about how their family would react if they didn’t come home.” Lovett told NWSS students about the sawmill accident that resulted in having part of his leg amputated. Instead of earning enough money to buy his own vehicle, as he’d hoped, the workplace incident left

him walking on an artificial leg for the rest of his life. NEW WEST MUSICIAN HITS THE STAGE A New West musician is stoked about his newest musical endeavour. Mike Guild, a member of The Beladeans, is also involved with a new band, The Country Club Hustlers.They’ll be playing their first show and opening up for the Highsiders on Saturday, Nov. 28 at the Heritage Grill. So what can folks expect? “The audience can expect a night of hillbilly/rockabilly a la Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and the Sun Records classics from the Highsiders. And old-time country a la Ray Price, George Jones and Merle Haggard played loud and electric with some originals thrown into the mix from The Country Club Hustlers,” he wrote in an email to the Record. “Expect a night filled with good music, dancing and good strong drinks!” The show starts at 8 p.m. and goes to midnight at 447 Columbia St. It’s free.

Community OUR PAST

Detail brings the past to life Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A recent discussion centred on the types and extent of detail that can be gathered about a place and how such information can be found. Here’s a great example of this kind of thing from late November 1865, in a description of a societal dinner from early New Westminster. The event was for the St. Andrew’s Society which met early in the evening to hear annual reports, elect new officers, and then celebrate another St. Andrew’s Day anniversary with a festive evening.The president was Capt.William Irving, the secretary was John Murray and treasurer was James Syme.The account of the evening also records all the other newly elected officers.The group held the first part of the evening at the Hyack Fire Hall (Columbia Street) and then moved on to the Rifle Drill Hall (probably McKenzie Street). The hall was all set for the evening’s excitement and dinner. It was apparently on the cool side and somewhat lacking in overall comfort, but remember that this was a drill hall in a barely sixyear-old town that was still quite crude in many aspects. The hall, however, was “well lighted and tastefully decorated with flags, banners, and etc.”This being St. Andrew’s Day, we imagine there were many symbols of Scotland. The newspaper account lists the special guests in attendance, many of whom were politicians representing

the local community and region.The gathering was served “an excellent dinner provided by Messrs. Drew and Harvey of the Old Cottage Bakery.”The tables were then cleared and all settled in for the rest of the evening’s festivities. Here we learn of an interesting detail of this particular evening.The new president was unable to be at the gathering, no doubt because of his steamboat business, but sent along a note expressing his regret and basically buying a round of drinks for a toast to “our auld respeckit mither.” For this he enclosed $20, which was a lot of money in 1865. The report covering this St. Andrew’s Day event by the St. Andrew’s Society supplies wonderful detail about the activities of the evening – toasts, comments, replies, and often a song. A “programme of toasts was taken up and carried through with very great spirit, interspersed with appropriate songs.” All the details of this are dutifully commented upon, so we learn the toaster, the toast’s recipient, added discussion and comment, song titles, the singer, and on and on. This is an amazingly accurate list of facts for this social function – great detail for research or even re-enactment. On this evening in late November 1865 in the Royal City there were 20 toasts, all with suitable accompaniment.The first was “The Queen,” by the Chairman, followed of course by God Save The Queen.

Photojournalist shares his stories of New West Kate Sloan and Erin Watkins

For 43 years, the New Westminster Public Library has presented travelogues from around the world by local photographers in its popular travel slide show series. But some of the best stories happen right in our own backyard.

Some of the best stories happen right in our own backyard For 24 years, New Westminster photojournalist Mario Bartel used his camera to tell the city’s stories and introduce residents to the city’s characters, from the political hoi-polloi to workers trying to make life better for people living on the streets. He chronicled New Westminster’s transformation

from SkyTrain stops that most people avoided to vibrant waterfront city that is recapturing some its former glory as British Columbia’s first capital. In his presentation, to be held at our main library on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. and again Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m., Bartel will explore how community photojournalism forges connections and helps a community realize its identity. He’ll share some of the stories he told with his camera, as well as some of the stories behind the stories. Bartel’s presentation launches the new season of travel slide shows at New Westminster Public Library, which will run bi-monthly with an afternoon show the first Wednesday of the month and an evening presentation the following Wednesday. The library is working with community member Rick Carswell to produce an important series that will alternate travelogues with presentations that will inves-

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

I’m worried my dog is over vaccinated. Are there other options to vaccines?

Vaccines contain viruses or bacteria that are killed or modified so they no longer cause disease or illness. Vaccines given to a pet stimulate the immune system to produce protective DR. MANJU ARORA antibodies against the disease. Some veterinary hospitals now offer an in-clinic blood test that measures antibody levels (called TITRES) for the three canine core diseases (Distemper, Hepatitis and Parvovirus). If a titre test is protective, your veterinarian may advise that a vaccination for one or more of these diseases is not necessary. Which vaccines your pet receives should always be decided after a discussion with your veterinarian and based on your pet’s individual lifestyle, age and risk. If your pet is not being vaccinated, annual wellness exams should be performed to detect any health concerns.

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

I have seen some stunning photos of homes captured with drone photography! Why isn’t anyone doing that locally?

There are a couple of good reasons why aerial photography is challenging in densely DERRICK THORNHILL populated areas. One, people Park Georgia Realty are very suspicious of cameras hovering above and around their homes. Two, there are rules and regulations that must be met in order to ﬂy a drone. Three, it’s very expensive, and until now has been reserved for lavish estates. The great news is….I just bought one! I am currently testing it within the subject property’s airspace with camera angles that don’t intrude on other’s privacy. I am also ensuring I meet all the Canadian air trafﬁc requirements and am patiently waiting for proper signage so neighbouring properties are aware of my presence. I believe it will give my clients a foot up in the marketing of their home.

Q A

Did the weekend leave you with puffy eyes and dark circles? Here is an eye opening beauty secret that really works! Tea leaves contain polyphe-

nols called tannins, which help to de-puff the eyes and improve the

appearance of dark circles. Simply dampen 2 tea bags (you can let them chill in the refrigerator for 30 mins too for a cool compress!), then place over the eyes for 10-15 mins. If you’re looking for a super charged treatment, use caffeinated tea bags. Green tea is most ideal because it does contain caffeine, but it also contains EGCG (another antiinflammatory to remove fluid build up) as well as powerfully anti-aging anti-oxidants!

Q A

Should I ask for feedback regarding my application or interview?

While asking for feedback can be a nerve-racking task, feedback can offer you beneficial insight into why you may be struggling to connect to the labour market. For those of you who NEELY HAZELL typically do well in interviews, asking for feedback will enhance your skills and self-awareness. First, call the employer to set up a brief 10 minute feedback session to demonstrate that you respect their time and do not want to put them on the spot by asking for feedback immediately.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

My children love using tablets, smartphones, computers, and watching television. Is this harmful to their eyes?

Digital devices are everywhere and children are using them DR. YIN LI at younger ages than ever before. Research has shown that we blink almost half as frequently when staring at screens, which causes dry eyes and irritation. Constant focusing can contribute to eyestrain and headaches. Handheld devices have more faults, because they are held so close to the eyes (especially in young children with short arms) which dramatically increases the strain in the ocular system. To reduce these symptoms, it is recommended to limit screen time and that children (and adults as well!) take breaks from the screen. Known as the 20/20/20 rule, this means looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes. Studies have suggested that children under two should never use a handheld device due to their effects on brain development.

How’s the city doing at preserving heritage? Share your opinions at a meeting Nov. 21 in Queen’s Park Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Tired of seeing demolition of heritage houses in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood? Sick of unsympathetic alterations to houses in the neighbourhood? If so, the city wants to hear from you. As part of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood heritage study, the city is holding a Speak Up About Heritage event on Saturday, Nov. 21 from noon to 3 p.m. at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park. In addition to information boards, the day features presentations at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., plus opportunities to talk with members of the working group. The Queen’s Park working group is seeking input from the community about the draft principles and strategies it has developed

for deterring demolitions in the neighbourhood and encouraging respectful renovations to heritage homes. The principles state that most of the existing buildings and landscape features contribute to the heritage character of the neighbourhood and should be retained insofar as it is practical to do so.They also say that new construction or renovations that replace or alter existing buildings or cause changes to the existing landscape should be conditional on compatibility with the heritage character of the neighbourhood. The draft strategies developed by the working group are to: ! identify and define the heritage character of the neighbourhood; ! provide a variety of financial and non-financial incentives to encourage the retention and restoration/

renovation of existing buildings and landscape elements that contribute to the heritage character of the neighbourhood; ! develop mechanisms, including regulations that prevent, or policies that deter, the demolition of existing buildings and landscape elements that contribute to the heritage character of the neighbourhood; and ! encourage support for heritage conservation by providing easy-to-access information and enhanced communication for residents and other interested parties. The Speak Up About Heritage event also include prize draws and a free hotdog for the first 50 people. If you can’t make it to the event but still want to provide input, contact the city at 604-527-4532 or plnpost@newwestcity.ca.

Business Wal-Mart pledges to help local families in need The opening of the store in Royal City Centre means New Westminster is now home to two Wal-Marts, as the first opened in Queensborough Landing in November 2003. A grocery store was later added to the department store. While some residents were excited about the store’s arrival in uptown New Westminster, others took to social media to express concerns about the impact the supercentre would have on small businesses. Wal-Mart has committed to making donations to local organizations in an attempt to help Canadian families in need. In a press release, it promised that “thousands of dollars in donations” will be presented to community organizations including Lord Kelvin Elementary School, B.C. Children’s Hospital, the New Westminster Animal Shelter, the New Westminster food bank and the Salvation Army. Wal-Mart celebrated the opening of its new store in uptown New West with a grand opening block party on Saturday, Nov. 14 that

City ponders new plan for Urban Academy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council is allowing a revised proposal for Urban Academy to move forward but the approval is far from being a done deal. Urban Academy has presented the city with a revised proposal for 101 Third Ave. and 228 Manitoba St. that would see a new school building built to accommodate 350 students, with three storeys above grade and one storey below grade, most at the Manitoba Street site. Council voted 6-1 against the school’s initial application after a five-hour public hearing in May that pitted many Queen’s Park residents against the school and its supporters. It appears the newest proposal is already dividing council, as council members engaged in an emotional 40-minute discussion about the project at its Nov.

2 meeting. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said Urban Academy deserves to know whether there is an appetite on council to consider any expansion beyond the school’s current footprint on Third Avenue.While he’s not saying he supports the plan as proposed, Johnstone said he can see himself supporting a plan that includes a new

building on the Manitoba Street site. Councillors Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy and Chuck Puchmayr argued the new proposal doesn’t come close to satisfying the neighbourhood. “We have been through this already.We just need

to bring something that is close to being agreeable,” Harper said. “If it’s not, I can’t support it.” McEvoy said he’s not a fan of a process where people go through a lot of time and effort developing a proposal, with high hopes of success, only to have it defeated at public hearing. “So let’s be honest – there may be a chance that this revised proposal coming forward could pass council, but certainly far from any kind of guarantee,” he said. “I would say if we really looked at the kind of issues that we all articulated at the public hearing, I don’t see a significant change.” Mayor Jonathan Cote, along with councillors Johnstone, Mary Trentadue and Lorrie Williams supported a motion to allow the proposal to move forward, but to have staff work with the applicant on alternate locations and on refinements to the proposal before it comes Continued on page 39

Cote says it’s time for council to give ‘guidance’ on plans Continued from page 38 back to council for first reading of the rezoning bylaw. Cote said he had a number of concerns about the initial proposal but believes Urban Academy has put significant effort into revising its application. “Are the revisions solving all those problems? No. But I don’t think that’s always necessarily possible,” he said. “Today isn’t about saying yes or no to this application.To me it’s about giving guidance about how

to move forward.” Puchmayr said there are times when council needs to “stand up and take some leadership” on controversial issues, even though it can be painful. “I am very concerned about the process here tonight. I think we are going to need to address this. If this is a process that’s going to happen every time a development fails, and it’s merely going to be a ricochet to get that development back into the public realm, I don’t think that is fair to

our residents,” Puchmayr said. “I think that exposes our residents to an inherent unfairness where they have to come out and fight this battle over and over again. I don’t want to see this.” Cote said the “difficult discussion” at the meeting will send a clear signal to Urban Academy that the new proposal doesn’t have consensus in the community or at the council table, so there’s some “risk” with a future application and it may not have a positive outcome.

Queen Elizabeth Elementary School is looking for volunteers to help install the second part of a new playground.The first half was built two years ago, partially funded with $25,000 from the provincial government, and the Queensborough school’s parent advisory council (PAC) has just recently reached its fundraising goal to complete the second half. “We are very proud,” PAC executive Roya Sarwary told the Record in an email. Putting in the new playground with help from community volunteers instead of relying on a playground company will save the school $7000, according to organizers. The installation will take place from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 20 and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 21 – rain or shine. For more information, call 604-831-2477 or 778-858-9848. Bring your own tools. EMPLOYERS RECOGNIZED FOR HELPING YOUTH New Westminster employers were recognized at an event in Burnaby this month for their support of youth apprenticeships. The event was part of the inaugural provincewide Proud Sponsor ofYouth Apprentices Tour by the Industry Training Authority – the body that manages B.C.’s apprenticeship system and certifies skilled tradespeople in the province. Employer-sponsors from New West, Burnaby,Vancouver, Richmond and Coquitlam gathered at Burnaby Central Secondary School, joined by apprentices, educators and ITA representatives. New West employers recognized at the event included Rivers Edge Woodworks, the Boathouse Restaurant, White Spot, Key West Ford and Tri-M Plumbing. Do you have an item for Class Act?

Up, down week for Chiefs Major midget team nets Mac’s return ticket

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Vancouver Northeast Chiefs balanced some good news with a few rough patches. The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League squad last week secured a berth to the prestigious Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary, thanks to being one of the top-five teams in the league standings. Unfortunately, a pair of tight losses to the Valley West Hawks on the weekend bumped them down two notches. The Chiefs were edged 3-2 and 6-4 by the Hawks in a home-and-home series where troubles in the third period tainted some strong performances. Keep in mind that Valley West is currently tied with the Vancouver Northwest Giants and Cariboo Cougars for first place at 11-4-1. In the opener,Vancouver fell behind 2-0 but pulled even in the middle frame on goals by New Westminster’s Liam Ryan and Chong Min Lee.The Hawks grabbed the lead with 11:23 to play in the third and protected it well. “We thought we did a solid job in their barn, we were winning the races and dominating the puck,” said Chiefs coach Jamie Jackson. “We had a good number of scoring chances, but we dropped off in the third, and our energy level wasn’t the same.” A day later, the squad appeared in control and leading 4-2 midway through the third before a calamity of penalties put the Chiefs on their heels. The Hawks’ powerplay took advantage on each opportunity, scoring four unanswered goals to snatch a victory from Vancouver. “It wasn’t a case of momentum, I saw it as more the fact we couldn’t stop taking penalties,” Jackson said. “We were really good five-on-five but things went astray.The discipline wasn’t there and that’s one thing we’re going to be talking about this week.” Scoring for the Chiefs, who draw players from Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows, were Brett Didyk, Sho Takai, JessieYoung and Lee, with his team-leading seventh of the season. Jackson said the progress of Burnaby’s Jonny Sheardown and New West’s Emilio Salas, who are paired together, has been steady. “They work well together. Jonny has really taken off over the last three weeks, and been our best defenceman day-in, day-out,” remarked Jackson. “Emilio’s really accelerated his development over the past month and he’s turned into a real anchor with Jonny on the blue line.” Sheardown scored twice in the team’s most recent win, a 5-3 triumph over the Giants two weeks ago. The Chiefs visit second-to-last North Island Silvertips this weekend.

Hyacks begin playoffs red-hot

NewWest, STM prepare for 10th Avenue showdown Saturday at BC Place Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

This is a cross-border battle fit for the headlines. A rivalry in mostly geography only, the New Westminster Hyacks and St.Thomas More Knights are separated by 10th Avenue and a few blocks of urban streets. The two will line up on opposing sides for just the third time this Saturday, 8 p.m. at BC Place with a B.C. High School AAA football semifinal berth in the balance. “(STM) is a good team and they’ve got good people up front in (Ben) Steele and (Demarius) Henderson and (Luca) Bellini in running back,” said Hyack coach Farhan Lalji. “They are talented and I think it’s going to be a big time battle that’s going to come down to the fourth quarter.”

New West, ranked No. 4 in the province with a 6-2 record, won’t be taken lightly by the Knights, noted the STM coach. “We have to stop (NewWest’s) run, they run a wing-T and a lot of misdirection, pulling guards so that’s our assignment,” said STM’s Bernie Kully. In the playoff opener, the Handsworth Royals had their hands full with just that assignment. Behind a five-touchdown performance from Grade 11 rusher Trew Dancey, New West blitzed the Royals and scored a ticket into the quarterfinals. STM, with its second-place finish in the Eastern Conference at 6-2, had a bye through the first round. The Hyacks piled up 546 yards rushing, with Dancey contributing 225 yards and a new team game record of five majors.

They led 14-0 after one quarna, a 50-yard TD, and David Peter and 34-0 at the half, with naver, of 36 yards. Dancey counting four majors On defence, the trio of Roon an accumulated 10 yards. He chon Bhattacharya, Jeff Lugtu would bust loose and score a 57- and Connor Pattison racked up yard TD early in the third quarsix tackles each, with Bhattachater, a minute afrya adding a pair of ter Handsworth interceptions.

Royals collect key national experience The Douglas College Royals may not have medalled, but they did deliver. The New Westminster crew pushed their opponents to the limit at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national women’s soccer championships in Peterborough, Ont., finishing fourth overall. Although not the result they were aiming for, first-time B.C. champion Douglas made certain that each game was hard-fought.

Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Ahuntsic (Que.) ended their chase for a medal, with the team’s only goal coming off a Kristina Klein header. A day earlier, their opportunity to advance to the gold medal contest was doused when the Royals fell 3-2 in penalty kicks to Algonquin. They broke through the quarterfinals by blasting Concordia 6-0, with two-goal efforts

from Mikayla Hamilton, Danae Harding and Marni McMillan. McMillan carted off an All-Canadian and tourney all-star honour, as well as being among the select few nominated for the CCAA Player of theYear award. Harding was also named an All-Canadian. The Royals roster includes third-year defender Courtney Sine, from Burnaby, and freshman Naomi Noda of New West.

McCrady nets B.C. spot

Four junior curling teams have secured spots at the 2016 Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling championships, thanks to their success on the B.C. Junior Curling Tour. Five curling centres hosted B.C. Junior Curling Tour bonspiels, with the final event taking place at the Esquimalt Curling Club last week.That’s where the final tour points were awarded in the inaugural year where provincial qualifying was determined by tour results. On the junior men’s side, Langley’s Tyler Tardi’s rink of third Daniel Wenzek, a Burnaby native, second Jordan Tardi, lead Nicholas Meister and fifth Sterling Middleton, clinched the top spot with three overall wins out of four tour appearances.The team collected a total of 73.75 points. Taking the second berth was Royal City Curling Club’s Matthew McCrady rink.The team, which includes third Zac Curtis, second Liam Purgavie and lead

Jacob Umbach, accumulated 54.175 points over four appearances. On the junior women’s side, Nanaimo’s Sarah Daniels’ rink, including third Dezaray Hawes, second Marika Van Osch and lead Megan Daniels, finished with the top score of 64.1 points.They took part in four events, winning all four. The Kamloops rink of skip Corryn Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser placed second with 32 points over three tour appearances. Both junior women’s teams now have a guaranteed spot at the 2016 Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling championships, which take place Dec. 29 to Jan. 3, 2016 at the Kamloops Curling Club. The five B.C. Junior Curling Tour events were: the Anita Cochrane Memorial Cashspiel in New Westminster, the Abbotsford Junior Cashspiel, the Rick Cotter Memorial Cashspiel

in Vernon, the Interior Beverages Junior Spiel at the Kelowna Curling Club, and the Esquimalt Optimist Junior Cashspiel. Five-time B.C. men’s champion Jim Cotter, who was instrumental in setting up the B.C. Junior Curling Tour, enthusiastically supported the efforts of the teens. “It has been great to see so many young teams get the opportunity to compete early in the season.We’re glad the inaugural tour has been so warmly welcomed by everyone and we hope to see it grow bigger and better every year,” said Cotter. The 2016 Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling Championships will see eight boys and eight girls teams play against each other in an eight-team round robin with a four-team page playoff. It means a further six berths are available per championship. Playdowns will take place in Prince George and Port Moody Nov. 20-22.

NW, STM meet for 3rd time “We’re looking more at film from their South Delta, Notre Dame, Mount Doug games… I see seven basic formations they use, a wing sweep, three-step passes and screens.They are going to be a handful.” In their previous encounters, New West won 56-25 in the 2008 quarterfinals, and the Knights prevailing 33-12 in the 2010 wildcard game. The winner of Saturday’s game will square off against the winner of the Vancouver College-Notre Dame contest.

But at the same time I don’t think they showed anything that we could focus on…
