GAS WORKS BUILDING
Collapse a ‘wake-up call’ in city By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The collapse of part of the roof of the 1886 Gas Works building on 12th Street is highlighting the need to hammer out a plan for the first gas plant building in B.C. The building at 231 12th St. is the oldest remaining brick building in New West, surviving the Great Fire of 1898. On Sunday afternoon, a portion of the building’s roof collapsed. “I’m hoping it will be a wake-up call,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, who included the Gas Works on a list of the city’s top endangered heritage buildings in 2007. McEvoy said the collapse of part of the roof isn’t a massive concern because the plan wasn’t to keep the roof. “The building has solid historical and architectural value.There is nothing significant about the roof per se,” he said. “It’s been anticipated for a long time that if the building was renovated for a practical use that there would be a new use.” Julie Schueck, the city’s heritage Continued on page 8

New West will hike taxes by 2.73 per cent By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Royal City residents will soon be opening up their wallets as they’ll be paying more on this year’s property taxes. On Monday night, staff presented an overview of the city’s five-year draft financial plan, which includes a $115-million operating budget for 2016 (up from $111 million in 2015) and a $58-million capital budget.The budget includes a 2.73 per cent tax hike in 2016.
With salaries and benefits making up 66 per cent of the city’s general operating budget, wage increases are the major driver of the increase to the operating budget, said Colleen Ponzini, the city’s manager of financial services. In addition to meeting the service needs of a growing population, she said the budget also includes funding so the city can address an aging infrastructure. A staff report notes the city’s expenses have increased by $4 million in 2016, with $3 million of that addressing salary increases and additional staff to deal with work-

load challenges and strategic initiatives, and $1 million relating to Anvil Centre operating costs. On the revenue side of the ledger, taxation revenues will rise by $1.3 million because of new construction and $2 million will come from the 2.73 per cent tax increase. Anvil Centre revenues have also been projected to go up due to increased activity. A 2.73 per cent tax increase would result in a $29 increase to a residential strata assessed at $314,900, a $75 increase to a sin-
gle-family home assessed at $829,700 and a $136 increase to a single-family home assessed at $1.5 million. In addition to a property tax increase, residents are also facing hikes to water (5.5 per cent), sewer (7.5 per cent) and solid waste (1.0 per cent) utilities, which would result in a $39 increase to a strata assessed at $314,900 and a $72 increase to homes assessed at $829,700 and $1.5 million. Staff will bring the financial plan to council in April for adoption.

Up Front CALL BUTTON BREAKS IN FIRST WEEK
Elevator has its ups and downs By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
ANOTHER DELAY The new elevator at Pier Park finally started taking passengers into and out of the park – only to be brought to a halt by a malfunctioning circuit board on the lower level call button a few days later. The elevator was up and running again, at presstime today. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
A malfunctioning circuit board is the culprit behind the closure of the new elevator into Westminster Pier Park – less than a week after it opened. Blair Fryer, the city’s communications manager, said the call button on the lower level stopped working last Thursday afternoon. The elevator opened on Saturday, March 5. “Maintenance workers diagnosed the issue as a malfunctioning circuit board on Friday,” he said in an email to the Re-
cord on Monday. “A new circuit board for the lower level call button was ordered and is being installed today.” Fryer said the circuit board was replaced on Monday afternoon and the elevator was set to reopen on Tuesday morning. The elevator operates daily from dawn to dusk. The elevator became operational on March 5, nearly a year after the stairwell portion of the $3.2 million Fourth Street overpass project opened to the public.
CITY CRIME
Man tries to lure girl into his van
Police looking for Good Samaritan who may have information Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Police hope a Good Samaritan who may have information about an attempted abduction of an 11-year-old girl last week comes forward. The incident happened last Tuesday at around 3:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Third Avenue. A young girl was walking down the street when a man in a van pulled up
alongside her and asked her to get in. The girl refused and fled when the driver opened the driver-side door of the van, according to a press release from police. The girl is in Grade 6, but police wouldn’t say what school she attends. Investigators believe there was someone driving in the area of Third Avenue who saw the man in the van and may have warned the girl before he approached her.
“Our major crime unit is pouring an extensive amount of effort into this case,” said acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster police, in a statement. “We are taking this very seriously and need to speak with the person who may have warned the girl just prior to the van approaching her. “It is possible that person does not even know that they are instrumen-
tal in this case, and our detectives need to speak with him or her.” Investigators have also released a sketch of the suspect. He is described as a Caucasian man in his 50s or 60s with grey hair and a grey beard and moustache. He was driving a red, older model panel van and wearing a straw cowboy hat at the time of the incident. “We are continuing to investigate this as a prior-
ity and are asking for the public’s assistance to identify the man seen in the sketch,” Scott said. The police department is asking residents to report any suspicious activity. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Det. Andrew Wickham at the New Westminster Police Department, 604-525-5411. Wanted: This is a sketch of the suspect in last week’s attempted luring case in New Westminster.

Anvil Centre contributes to city tax hike Costs related to the new centre account for about one-third of this year’s 2.73 per cent property tax increase By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Anvil Centre is becoming a cultural hub for the Royal City but it comes with a cost. The city’s budget forecasts that Anvil Centre’s operating budget for 2016 will require a $2.9 million operating subsidy, which is comparable to the 2015 budget and actual figures.With 2015 being the facility’s first full year of operations, the city anticipates “normali-
zation” of its revenues and expenses to occur over the next couple of years. New Westminster resident Philip Walinshaw appeared before council Monday night to question costs relating to Anvil Centre, which represent about one-third of this year’s 2.73 per cent property tax increase. “The Anvil Centre of course has only had one full year of operations. It started up in late 2014 – 2015 was its first full year of operations. It’s basically re-
ally trying to normalize its revenues and its operating costs,” said Gary Holowatiuk, the city’s director of finance and information technology. “When we budgeted for 2015, the budgets were probably a little bit off-skew because we didn’t have a whole heck of a lot of experience.” A staff report indicates revenues for the conference centre exceeded projections, but arts, rental and third-party revenues were below budget.The report
When we budgeted for 2015... we didn’t have a whole heck of a lot of experience states there were fewer productions in the Anvil Centre Theatre than what had been anticipated and the facility’s expenses were higher than what had been forecast. Anvil Centre is projecting its conference services will see “a modest deficit”
in 2016 and will break even in 2018. “Industry norms for a new event venue reflect three full years of operations to realize a break-even budget,” stated the report. “As event bookings increase over the next two years, An-
vil Centre conference services is on track to break even or realize a profit in the third full year of operations.” In a report presented to council on Monday, staff indicate Anvil Centre’s revenues are expected to increase in 2016 as a result of more bookings for the conference centre and more productions in the Anvil Theatre. Walinshaw questioned some of the capital Continued on page 9

Opinion OUR VIEW
Being fleeced in more ways than one
Premier Christy Clark dropped into Burnaby last week. She was speaking to the Burnaby Board of Trade as part of International Women’s Day events. Our reporter went to the event expecting to be able to ask our premier a couple of simple local questions. Questions, we think, residents of New Westminster and our readers might like to know. For example, we were wondering about when the new high school might be built. But Clark
didn’t deign to speak with any of the media covering the event. In fact, her handlers kept her away from the media. We suspect it’s because the media was all abuzz about the “triple-delete” scandal.You know, the one a whistleblower revealed. The one where government officials were, as a matter of practice, deleting Freedom of Information emails and destroying any evidence of receiving them. An investigation was held
and one person has been charged – but not with the destroying of emails. No, he’s being charged with perjury as he allegedly lied during the investigation. We’re not sure about the rationale for this action, but it does seem to raise even more questions. Clark probably didn’t want to answer any questions on that story – and who can blame her? It doesn’t look good at all. Or, perhaps she didn’t want to be questioned
about the cushy sheepskinning deal her government gave former Liberal MLA Judi Tyabji-Wilson. That’s the deal that was also in the media last week. The one where the government gave Tyabji-Wilson a 2014 grant for a sheepskinning initiative that went over budget by $53,000. Tyabji-Wilson was the president of the non-profit applying for the grant and also the supervisor on the project.The grant was for $127,000, and on top of
that Tyabji-Wilson received a salary of $67,000 to manage that grant. Can someone in the government spell “conflict of interest”? The project failed miserably. Apparently it was only able to sell 27 sheepskins. Those are very expensive skins. Clark, in our humble opinion, appears to be making sure that the Stephen Harper legacy lives on in B.C. Deals with friends, con-
flicts of interest and hiding from the media being three of his top leadership lessons. Now, this could be partly due to the fact that she has hired former Harper employees. Or it could simply be that the old expression, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” has found another role model right here in British Columbia. COMMENT ON THIS AT
NewWestRecord.ca
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
The death of full-time jobs? It’s accepted wisdom that from an economic standpoint, British Columbia is outperforming every other province when it comes to growth and employment. In fact, the province is not expected to stumble off that lofty perch anytime soon. This coming year should see B.C. continue to lead the country on a number of economic fronts. But peel back the economic onion a few layers, and a not entirely rosy picture is painted for British Columbia.The most noticeable and worrisome trend is that when it comes to job creation, part-time employment and not full-time work has been, recently at least, primarily responsible for the growth in new jobs. Take last month, for example. According to Statistics Canada, the number of jobs in B.C. increased by an apparently impressive 14,000 over the previous month. But a closer look shows what really happened: a whopping 20,000 new part-time jobs were created, but that was partially offset by the loss of 6,000 full-time jobs. And this was not a onemonth phenomenon. A look at the changing job numbers between January 2015 and January 2016 tells the story, and it’s a revealing one.While 16,800 new full-time jobs were created in the past year, that’s a growth rate of barely one per cent.Where the significant growth occurred was on the part-time side: al-
most 32,000 new jobs, an increase of about seven percent.This means the number of new part-time jobs is outpacing full-time ones at a 7:1 ratio. The implications of this trend are worrisome. Among other things, fulltime work usually pays an employee much higher compensation than part-time workers receive, since a benefits package of some sort is often included. As well, part-time work in the retail and service industries (the largest employers of parttimers) pay relatively lower wages and often pay the miserly minimum wage. A fulltime workforce contributes more to the local economy than does a part-time one. Who are the people filling the growing number of part-time jobs? It’s likely that people under the age of 35 – the so-called “millennial” generation – are filling the bill here. As the massive baby boomer generation eases into retirement in increasing numbers, many of their jobs are being divided into parttime ones or are disappearing altogether, as the economy changes. So the next time Statistics Canada releases its jobs data, peel back the layers and check to see where any huge growth is coming from.The age of part-time work for many young people appears to be fast approaching.

Elevator is not a great option for park access
Will Q2Q bridge hurt residents’ views? Readers respond
Dear Editor On Friday, March 11, my husband and I witnessed a rather distressing incident at Pier Park. A young mother with a toddler came down the elevator to enjoy Pier Park. When she was ready to leave, the elevator door on the park level would not open. After many tries, she decided to carry a very squirmy toddler up the stairs. Halfway up the stairs, she cried out: “Help!” We ran up the stairs immediately and found her holding on to her toddler for dear life because she was having a seizure. We helped her secure the toddler and calmed her until her seizure passed. This incident revealed a very sobering weakness in utilizing elevators to access a pedestrian bridge. The City of New Westminster is currently considering building a pedestrian crossing linking Quayside to Queensborough (Q2Q), with elevators on both sides. Imagine a person with a disability (using a mobility vehicle, walker or cane) or people with little ones or strollers who have travelled across a pedestrian bridge and accessed the ground with the elevator. If the elevator breaks down, like the above mentioned incident, they will be stranded with very few options to return to the other side. A worse scenario is if both elevators fail while someone with a disability is on the bridge, now what do they do? Whereas, if the bridge is built with a good old-fashioned ramp, they will have the security that they can rely on the ramp to return the same way they have come from. The city needs to reconsider the less glamorous option of building a low walkway alongside the existing rail bridge. It may not be perfect and pedestrians may have to wait for the bridge to open and close from time to time. However, we should be able to tolerate waiting a few minutes as opposed to having no crossing at all. Consider the many challenges and escalating costs, maybe a “no frills” option with some compromises will help us achieve a pedestrian crossing. Sue Allan, New Westminster
Rain cover would be appreciated in hospital parking lot Dear Editor Everything in life is getting more and more expensive, even parking. That is not what I am complaining about. British Columbia is blessed with a lot of rain. But is it necessary, standing in pouring rain to buy a ticket at the Royal Columbian Hospital for parking? I noticed the very old and mothers with a small child (or more) trying to purchase a ticket. It would be so kind and not too big of a deal for a firm that does seem to do very good work to provide for a proper cover if the meter has to be on the outside of the building – or install it on the inside. I know this is only a suggestion, but maybe it will be noticed by those that can do something about that. Horst Ferchert, by email
Trevor Granted, the Q2Q bridge has some much needed alterations to fit the needs of the residents of both sides of the river, but how dare you propose that something built for people and their feet, and people and their bikes, connecting one common community to each other, as a sign of negative progress. Frankly, the argument over this bridge has to stop. It all just sounds to me like a group of fed up dinosaurs all fussing over maintaining the locked up community that they themselves were equally as disruptive in creating when they first moved in. And to think that people are complaining about having increased foot traffic, and increased pedestrians accessing public transit, or HEAVEN FORBID having a way to commute to a restaurant or a grocery store on their bicycle, is nothing more than ignorance, greed, and pure unkindness. ALEJANDRO ALCANTARA We have owned a house in Queensborough for two decades and although the neighbourhood is a very nice place it has always been disconnected, haphazard and one could argue neglected. Finally, the city has reacted and we are getting some traction, Ewen Ave is being repaired and revamped and we the Q2Q will become a reality. Paris, London, Geneva, Amsterdam, and even Washington DC have pedestrian bridges, why not New West? And don’t forget the casino money is for that, and it is in Queensborough... I disagree with you that our leader have been narrow minded, indeed they have been visionary. Look at New West today, every day is more desirable, when I was going to Douglas College in the late 90’s it was known for drug dealers and blight... can we agreed that we are a lot better today? Dale “Completion of this bridge, by the way, is not a solution to a problem, which doesn’t exist in the first place” So right...from the point of view of someone on your side of the river. But for the thousands on the Port Royal side the story is a bit different. We too, would like walking and biking access to the rest of our city which is attainable by constructing an attractive pedestrian bridge joining one New Westminster walkway to another. Sorry to hear that it upsets you that more people will be making use of the public amenity that happens to be in front of your condo. And how awful to have your “uninterrupted river vista gone forever” because of the new tower at the eastern tip of Port Royal. Once again, your uninterrupted view was but a minor concern to the rest of the citizens of the city who, through planning and public consultation, determined that it was a good idea.

News Roof collapse revives interest in Gas Works site Continued from page 1 planner, said Sunday’s incident has refocused everyone’s attention on the Gas Works site. She noted that a representative from the province was on site soon after the roof collapsed and took action to ensure the site was safe and secure.
There’s been a lot of contamination
“We are still in discussions with the province.The province is the owner of the property,” she said. “The big discussion point is about the remediation of the land. Based on its past businesses or occupations on that property, there’s been a lot of contamination in the soil, possibly even in the building material itself, but we are not sure. It’s just a matter of coming to an agreement on who is going to take care of what aspect.”
Schueck agreed the roof collapse isn’t a big concern, as long as the structural stability of the building is maintained. A public consultation that took place several years ago included three different scenarios for the site. “The public loved the idea of the whole site getting a community centre, a fire hall and a great big park above, with the Gas Works building as the highlight, and quite possibly not having a roof, being open to the air, and perhaps having some container gardening in there or picnic area, some sort of community use,” she said. “That got a lot of interest that idea.” In recent years, Schueck said there have been “consistent but slow-moving” discussions between the province and the city about the fate of the site. “This has definitely refocused the province and ourselves,” she said. In 1997, a consultant who prepared a heritage assessment of the building concluded it had tremendous

historical significance. “It’s the city’s oldest remaining industrial building
and its oldest brick structure. It’s one of two or three early gas works buildings in
the province,” Schueck said. “It’s a rare example of a late Victorian industrial archi-
tectural style. It’s very important to us.”
Child-care centre proposed for duplex A duplex in the West End neighbourhood could be converted to create a new child-care centre. Council has directed staff to process a rezoning application that would see a 20-space child-care centre open at 1209 Hamilton St. The centre would include 12 infant-toddler spaces and eight multi-age care
spaces. A staff report states the duplex is located behind and on the same lot as the Heritage Hall, formerly known as the Carpenter’s Hall, at 718 12th St. A comprehensive development district would be created for the development. – Theresa McManus

Thief takes off with 54 iPads Police need the public’s help after more than 50 iPads were stolen from a shop at Royal City Centre in January. The theft happened on Jan. 28 at around 3:30 p.m. when a man wearing a blue jacket with reflective strips, black pants and white gloves entered a store’s warehouse and broke into a secured storage case and stole 54 iPads, according to police. The suspect allegedly used bolt cutters to break into the storage case. He then loaded the iPads, valued at $18,000, into a bag, left the warehouse, got into a blue Chrysler 300 and drove off. Investigators have released a surveillance photo of the suspect. Police hope someone in the community will be able to identify him. Anyone with information on the suspect is asked

id you know that oral health is a window to your overall health? A healthy mouth serves as a “window” to the rest of the body, providing vital indicators of health disorders. Studies have linked oral bacteria and gum disease to a host of diseases and yet people tend to avoid going to the dentist even when their gums are bleeding. “People often ignore signs of Periodontal disease as it can be painless. Things like, bleeding gums when brushing, puffy swollen gums, bad breath that won’t go away are just a few signs. Seeing your hygienist regularly is very important for your health,” says Michelle Nguyen, a hygienist at Columbia Square Dental.
“
To prevent disease, you may have to change how you live. If you want to save money, regular visits with a hygienist are key. Regular cleanings and check ups save you from costly emergency visits.

“In dentistry a big issue is for the patients to realize how you live, eat, feel, and think determines your health. To prevent disease, you may have to change how you live. If you want to save money, regular visits with a hygienist are key. Regular cleanings and check ups save you from costly emergency visits.” Columbia Square Dental team of professionals - Dr. Firouzeh Majlessi and Dr. Navneet Randhawa and its skilled hygienists – are helping patients avoid gum disease, or if they discover Periodontal disease, they can help.
If you are or have been a smoker you have a greater chance of developing oral cancer. At Columbia Square Dental they provide cancer screening. However, oral cancer isn’t just limited to smokers. When you get your teeth and gums checked, dental professionals look out for lesions that may be cancerous. Another reason why regular dental visits are crucial is because we are living longer than ever and your teeth need to last. Twenty-five years ago, it was common to see seniors with dentures. Nowadays, dentures are less common. Besides offering the best and latest in dentistry, what makes this dental practice stand apart from the rest is their commitment to providing patients a warm, caring and friendly approach. At Columbia Square Dental you will experience a comfortable, soothing and unique clinic, specializing in customized care tailoured specifically to your needs. Starting from the initial assessment, each dentist wants to ensure your experience in their office is an optimal one, and everyone looks forward to exceeding your expectations.

Students who may be at risk of deportation could one day find safe haven in New Westminster schools. The district took the first step towards adopting a sanctuary school policy at its education policy and planning committee meeting last week.The policy would ensure students, regardless of immigration status, have a safe and welcoming environment to learn without fear of being deported or detained. “We have a significant obligation to children in our community that, for one reason or another, don’t feel comfortable around enrolling and accessing those services,” trustee Casey Cook told the Record. Cook has crafted a motion that recommends establishing a committee to look at creating a sanctuary school policy for the district. “We recognize that those children have rights, and they’re in our community, and whatever differences may exist with parents, those children should not be deprived of an education,” he said. Cook also wants the district to examine its existing policies to ensure that there aren’t “unintended consequences” if a sanctuary
… children should not be deprived of an education. eration drafted a sanctuary school policy proposal in 2014, however, school districts across the province have yet to adopt the policy. (In Canada,Toronto was the first school district to adopt its own policy regarding access for non-status students.) Cook said it’s possible the New West school district will use parts of the BCTF’s proposed policy for sanctuary schools in its own policy but couldn’t talk specifics because the idea is still in its infancy. Trustees will vote on Cook’s motion to establish a committee to consider the creation of a sanctuary school policy at the next board meeting on March 29 at 7:30 p.m.

For many others, this is an opportunity to give back to their communities by creating pride or by sharing particular knowledge and skills with the people in their neighbourhoods.” In the past four years, the program has dispersed nearly $108,500 to organizers of about 200 local events.

Egoyan film up next in Monday movie series LIVELY CITY

Atom Egoyan and Christopher Plummer? Now there’s a can’t-miss combination in my books. The Arts Council of New Westminster’s Last Mondays at the Movies series continues Monday, March 28 at the Massey Theatre with a screening of Egoyan’s Remember. The film stars the Academy Award-winning Plummer as a 90-year-old former Auschwitz prisoner struggling with memory loss.

Colorado diesel
In the world of pickup trucks, diesel isn’t a dirty word, or a dirty engine BY MALCOLM GUNN
www.wheelbasemedia.com
By now you have probably heard plenty of static concerning Volkswagen and its not-so-squeaky-clean diesel engines. Well, don’t let that dissuade you from considering other compressionignition-equipped (diesel) vehicles, especially pickups. Other than for big-rig and other commercial applications, turbo-diesel engines are “the” dominant powerplants in the heavy-duty (three-quarter- and one-ton) truck segment where they excel in towing. For 2013, a turbo-diesel also became optional in the light-duty Ram 1500 and one is standard in the 2016 Nissan Titan XD. In a breakout move, Chevrolet has installed a turbo-diesel in the mid-size 2016 Colorado and closely related GMC Canyon. Both pickups were reintroduced for 2015 following a one-year hiatus and compete most directly with the Toyota Tacoma that has been the segment leader for many years. A turbo-diesel in the smaller truck class is certainly a game changer. It opens up a wider assortment of uses, both commercial and recreational, by providing more pulling power. Turbo-diesel Colorados will become the go-to models for hauling payloads up to 820 kilograms or trailering up to 3,500 kilograms. That’s more than double the towing capacity of the truck’s base 2.5-litre fourcylinder and also beats the optional 3.6-litre V6 capabilities by a fair amount.
The engine producing this grunt is a turbocharged 2.8-litre “Duramax” four-cylinder with an output of 181 horsepower and a torquerich 369 pound-feet. Those are impressive numbers considering the V6 turbo-diesel option in the larger Ram 1500 is not that far off at 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.
uses cylinder compression to keep your speed in check when heading downhill. It also saves brake wear. Then there’s what’s called a Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber (CPVA) built into the transmission’s torque converter that reduces the level of engine noise and vibration entering the cabin.
The Duramax is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual can be had only in Colorados with the base 2.5-litre four-cylinder. The only downside is that the turbo-diesel’s iron engine block imposes a 90-kilogram weight penalty over the gas V6’s aluminum lump. That pushes the total weight up to about 2,045 kilograms for the rear-wheel-drive short-bed LT crew cab, which is the starting point trim level when specifying the turbodiesel. Despite the added heft, fuel economy is rated at 10.8 l/100 km in the city and 7.7 on the highway for 4x2 versions, or 12.0/8.2 for 4x4 pickups. By comparison, the best numbers the Colorado V6 can muster are 13.0/9.2 (RWD) and 13.6/9.9 (4WD). Taking the turbo-diesel route will set you back $39,400, including destination fees, or about $6,300 more than a base LT crew cab (Colorado extended-cab models start at $23,100). For that money you get a decent assortment of equipment including an eight-inch touchscreen display for the audio and communications systems, a rearview camera and built-in subscriber-based Wi-Fi access for all aboard. Also standard is a driver-controlled engine brake that
An optional LT Luxury package boosts the content level with automatic climate control, heated leather-covered seats, power front seats with lumbar control and fancier interior and exterior trim. In addition, the mandatory passive safety features can be augmented with forward collision alert and lane-departure warning systems. For many light-duty-truck fans, the Colorado (and Canyon) turbo-diesel will be just the pickup they’ve always wanted but thought they would never get. The superior level of potency and fuel efficiency at a recoupable (for many users) premium should make this mid-size rig tough to resist.

Four-door, rear- /four-wheel-drive mid-size pickup truck 2.8-litre DOHC I4, turbo-diesel (181) Six-speed automatic Mid-size pickups are growing in numbers, although it’s slim pickings for diesel options despite their performance benefits. The Colorado is, in fact, the only diesel pickup General Motors offers, aside from its HD trucks.
Points:
Diesel model is unique among smaller domestic or import-based pickups; Highway fuel economy breaks the 8.0-l/100 km mark; First-rate hauling and towing capacities; Why no long-box option? Some buyers might have preferred the availability of a manual transmission; VW might be on the ropes with its diesels, but this one should be a winner.
Safety:
Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

Indoor hopscotch game unveiled at market Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Royal City residents are invited to hop on down to River Market to check out what could be the longest indoor hopscotch installation in the world.
This is why New West is royally awesome.
In an effort to showcase some of the things that make New West awesome and create a fun experience for the community, River Market has created a new 66-metre (217-feet) hopscotch installation along a hallway on its second floor. Illustrator Jane Koo designed the hopscotch installation that will be completed
this week. “It’s based on fun. Everything we do is fun-related,” said Salim Hassan, the market’s marketing manager. “This is a good way to tie in all the communities in New Westminster, to have them come down. It’s a destination thing that they can look forward to.There’s a lot of really neat things about New West, and people don’t necessarily know everything there is that makes it awesome.” River Market engaged Royal City residents in the hopscotch process, collecting facts and figures about each of the city’s 14 neighbourhoods. Icons on the hopscotch installation represent each of those neighbourhoods. “It becomes part of the hopscotch itself,” Hasan explained. “For example, each neighbourhood has a particular colour and that colour carries through a set of tiles. Each neighbourhood
Hop to it: River Market has created a new indoor hopscotch game it believes may be the largest in the world. The game features tiles containing information and anecdotes about the Royal City. PHOTO

will have anywhere between eight and 10 tiles. In between, we also added some pictograms to highlight specific things from that neighbourhood.” Goats, for example, are representative of the Massey-Victory Heights neighbourhood because a goat farm was located in that neighbourhood in the 1940s. Anecdotes, facts and
figures about the neighbourhoods are found along the length of the hopscotch installation. “At the very end we have added a map that showcases all of New West,” he said. “This is why New West is royally awesome.” River Market, which opened in 2010, previously offered a public art installation featuring LEGO pieces.
The new hopscotch game is being installed and will open this week. The market will be contacting Guinness World Records to see if its newest feature has set a record for the world’s largest indoor hopscotch installation. “We are really hoping it’s going to put New West on the map even more,” Hassan said. “We have looked

for a record and we can’t find anything that says there’s any other indoor hopscotch installation anywhere else in the world.” Students at the University of Guelph in Ontario hold the Guinness World Record for the longest hopscotch game, with a 5,506-metre (3.4-mile) game being created in 2011.

Tales from a busy spring Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
The spring of 1911 was a busy time in New Westminster as is clearly evident in a column of small community references in the local paper. Sometimes researchers find valuable information with names, dates and details in little articles rather than in a major piece.We noted the following in the British Columbian newspaper. The B.C. Electric Railway (BCER) streetcar station was being constructed on Columbia at Eighth Street.The article pointed out that the roof had just been completed and that “the new building gives a business like appearance to lower Columbia Street.” This building is today’s Salvation Army Thrift Store on Hyack Square. The Cliff Block was quite new in 1911, and this building, still there half a block off Columbia up Sixth Street, was reported as the new home to many doctors and dentists. Third Street between
Royal and Sixth avenues was the focus of much activity that was expected to last about three months.The job, which entailed grading the street, included “the assistance of the steam shovel” and “the City Engineer had started a gang of about thirty men on the work.”This would have meant a dusty summer for the residents of this part of town. Downtown, just along the block from the BCER station, one of the hotels had been undergoing changes, which, we might surmise, were prompted by the new streetcar terminal and the many passengers the line would be carrying.The hotel was the Central, and we learn that its front had been improved. “The old front has been taken out and a new one put in and a bootblack stand and an up-todate cigar stand are now located on each side of the hotel entrance.” Big news in downtown New Westminster at this time in the early 1900s was the soon-to-be-constructed Westminster Trust Building.
The structure, a skyscraper in its day, was to be built at Columbia at Begbie Street, where it is still a prominent edifice today. In 1911 this would be an enormous change in the city and especially in the downtown.The work was now becoming a reality, as the paper noted: “the work of tearing down the old brick row at Columbia at Begbie Street has begun.” There was also some activity in the area far up the hillside on Eighth Street near Sixth Avenue. A couple of business buildings near that corner continued in that location into at least the early 1970s. In 1911 the major new structure, the Hardman block, was about to be home to a drugstore operated by D.M. Copeland. The newspaper reference also fills in other Hardman block activity and identifies the owner. “There is already in the block a bakery and an ice cream parlour, and Mr. Hardman opened up his hardware shop there some time ago.”

Community Explore all things Irish at the New West library Nick Rowlands
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We hope you’re wearing green.This March 17 stop by the New Westminster Public Library and celebrate everything Irish. Make your first stop the library’s music collection to check out some of the world’s most influential and beloved music. In our world music section, you’ll find dozens of classic and contemporary Celtic and Irish folk CDs. But there’s also a ton of modern popular music to check out, too. In our Rock and Pop sections you’ll find great albums from Irish bands and artists like Hozier,Van Morrison, Snow Patrol,The Cranberries and, of course, U2. Our DVD collection is another good place to browse.The classic drama In the Name of the Father, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, tells the true story of a
young Irishman and his father’s fight for justice after they are falsely convicted of bombing an English pub. On the lighter side, Waking Ned Devine is a delightful comedy about a small Irish town’s ploy to fool the lottery official into awarding them the jackpot. Of course, you’ll also find countless books from the Emerald Isle in our stacks as well. The Marble Collector, a 2015 novel from Cecelia Ahern, has received rave reviews. A chance discovery upends everything protagonist Sabrina Boggs thought she knew about her father. She has one day to unmask the secrets and discover the truth about her past. Or try The Green Road, the latest from Booker Prize-winning Irish author Anne Enright. Set in a small, coastal Irish town, a family’s fractured past is brought together when an elderly mother decides to sell the family home.

Local group helps people heal through music Tanya Commisso
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
A NewWestminster society providing care for grieving families through counselling and song hopes increased awareness of their music therapy programs will help to better inform the public of the art’s healing attributes. The Camp Kerry Society provides support services for families who have experienced a loss, often through the form of family retreats.This past fall, the society, which was founded
in 2007, expanded its services to offer two new community-based programs in partnership with Douglas College – the Mindfulness Stress Reduction program and the Camp Kerry Choir program. Dr. Heather Mohan, registered music therapist and founder of the society, describes the programs as a way to help attendees learn how to better cope with their emotions. In addition to the society’s choir program, Camp Kerry also offers monthly dropin sessions at its Sapperton consignment store, Kerry’s
Boutique, for those interested in trying music therapy. “It’s all about people coming together in a supportive environment where they can use singing in a group as a means for stress relief and community support,” Mohan said. Last month, the society received $15,000 in funding from Music Heals, a foundation that promotes music therapy awareness. Mohan said part of the funding the group received will go towards supporting their community choir programs as well as their team of accred-
Police academy for teens Ever dreamed of patrolling the streets and locking up bad guys? Well, the New Westminster Police Department is currently accepting applications for its annual student police academy, which runs July 4 to 16. The two-week academy is open to students in grades
11 or 12 and is for anyone interested in a career in policing. Students will get a behind-the-scenes look at policing, including taking part in scenario-based simulations, firearm safety and tactical training.They’ll also get to meet members of the K9 unit, check out the police helicopter Air 1 and
take trip on the river with the police marine unit. Students must apply before March 29 and are chosen based on several core values, including professionalism, responsibility, accountability, integrity and service. See tinyurl.com/ NWstudentcops for more. – Cayley Dobie
ited music therapists. “I could go on about what the music does. … People have a lot of emotional connections to music, and so when they’re grieving, music can be a very powerful way to express the range of feelings they’re going through,” she said. This year, Health Canada deemed March as Music Therapy Awareness Month
– a move Mohan hopes will prompt the federal government to put more money into music therapist positions and alleviate any skepticism the public may have about music therapy’s legitimacy. “People are still trying to understand it. ‘Are you an entertainer? Are you a therapist? Can I trust you with my problems, or are you just
going to sing to me?’ It’s a novel concept for some people in terms of how it helps.” Mohan said. An info session for Camp Kerry’s community choir program’s upcoming spring session beginning May 5 will take place on March 19, 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Kerry’s Boutique. See www.campkerry.org.

Tsawwassen Shores Launches Aerie Walk Townhomes Aquilini Development unveils a boutique collection of 45 townhouses in a fantastic location, starting at just $435,900
T
sawwassen Shores’ fourth phase of homes will be released on March 19. Aerie Walk at Tsawwassen Shores is a limited collection of 45 two- and four-bedroom townhomes adjacent to miles of waterfront, trails and one of the largest destination shopping malls in BC. This masterplanned community has had an impressive track record of selling out fast, so be sure to get in early. The newest offerings from Aquilini Development are three-storey residences ranging from 1,235 to 1,640 square feet, and starting at just $435,900. “The value offered here is attracting a lot of young families and upsizers … the interest during our preview stage has been phenomenal,” says Deren Akinci, project manager, Rennie Marketing Systems. “What’s even more exciting is that it just isn’t locals, people are coming from all over the Lower Mainland. I think another real appeal to this community is knowing that there will be a new bridge to replace the tunnel.” After successfully selling out of all three phases of Tsawwassen Shores, it’s no wonder the interest for Aerie Walk is so strong.
The townhomes are part of a 270-acre masterplanned community, which includes residences, parks, schools and a Village Centre, offering amenities such as cafes, shops and a library. Home owners will wake up to miles of sandy trails and dyke paths to walk or cycle along. “These townhomes offer great access to nature. Right outside their door, there will be an extended boardwalk that will lead to the Blue Heron Trail, which will extend out towards the water,” says Akinci. The project is also just across the street from the highly anticipated Tsawwassen Mills, a first-class indoor and outdoor shopping destination, offering more than 1.8 million square feet of retail, restaurants, entertainment and office space, slated to open in the fall of this year. The mall’s two anchor stores will feature a Saks Off Fifth and Bass Pro Shop, an outdoor retailer specializing in outdoor gear for all sorts of activities and sports. Aerie Walk will consist of two- and four-bedroom townhomes showcased by contemporary West Coast design with tandem or double-car garages and great outdoor space with backyard gas connection. Inside each contemporary, open-concept home will be nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas, rich laminate wood flooring throughout, oversized windows, faux-wood blinds and sizeable storage space. These new homes come from awardwinning developer, Aquilini Development, a company with more than five decades in the
industry and numerous accolades under its belt. Mark your calendars: The Grand Opening happens on Saturday, March 19 from noon to 5pm at the Tsawwassen Shores presentation centre, 1875 Tsawwassen Drive. This will be an opportunity for prospective buyers to place offers. There will be appetizers and giveaways throughout the day. “I do encourage people to come out prior to our Grand Opening launch because there’s been a lot of interest,” adds Akinci. Aerie Walk is centrally located with easy access to downtown Vancouver, 15 minutes from Richmond, the US border and the BC Ferries Terminal.

Warlocks find magic en route to B.C. title NewWest uses resolve to claim Tier 1 title Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
It may have seemed magic was required, but for the New Westminster Warlocks, capturing a first-ever Canada West Field Lacrosse League playoff title was an accomplishment of pure hard work and determination. The club shook off a 0-3 start to the season and a player crunch problem that nearly caused them to pull the plug to find their way to dunking the Beerhunters 8-6 in the tier 1 provincial final Sunday in Coquitlam. Considering how close it came to a lost year -- with two losses due to a lack of players -- the victory was extremely sweet. “A real take-away from the season is that if we put our minds, our hearts, and our bodies towards something, anything is possible,” said head coach Keith Gagne. “Everyone makes mistakes, it’s those who learn and grow from them that make the difference.” The Beerhunters struck first, but New West replied and led 3-1 at halftime. Ahead 7-3, the Warlocks faced a fierce rally as the favoured Beerhunters struck for three goals to make it 7-6 midway through the fourth frame. New West held down the fort thanks to some diligent defence, led by David Beaumont and Justin Goodwin, voted the defensive MVP of the final. Connecting for the offence were Jordan McBride, with two, Jordan Catton, Carson Metcalf, Mark Negrin, Ben Taylor, Alec Tuura and Ryan Watson. During the regular season, they managed an 8-8 draw and suffered a 13-6 defeat at the hands of the Beerhunters, before turning the tables on the last game of the season. Quite a capper to an improbable -- at least on the surface -- championship run. New West entered the playoffs as a .500 team, well behind the secondplace Beerhunters. In the opening round they bested Nanaimo 12-7 and first-place Whalley 7-4 to qualify for the semifinal, where they manhandled Ladner 14-3. It was the momentum the club coveted all year but found elusive. “The team struggled midseason, we lost a few close games by a goal or two that could have easily been wins.We regrouped for the second half and got ourselves into a position to compete for the title,” said Gagne. But they almost had no opportunity to regroup after facing its midseason crisis. “It was a low point for the Warlocks, and we had two options: fold, or rebuild.

Douglas displays on-court diligence
Royals rally and contest every game at the national men’s volleyball championships Dan Olson

As the sixth seed entering last week’s Canadian Colleges Athletic Association men’s volleyball championships, the host Douglas College Royals had room to prove their mettle. They did just that, nearly scoring a medal in the process. The Royals didn’t look just ‘happy to be here,’ as they posted a solid 2-2 record over the threeday tournament. In all but their final loss -- 3-0 to the Fanshaw Falcons -- Douglas College were in good position
to win. Although they were swept 3-0 by Fanshawe, the New Westminster-based hosts pushed the Ontario champions in each game before falling (25-22, 25-20, 2520). Libero Zach Or of Burnaby was chosen Douglas’ player of the game. Ranked as high as fourth late last month, Douglas entered the nationals after losing a heartbreaking five-set thriller to the Camosun Chargers. However, the start was eerily, and disappointingly familiar. Quebec’s Titans de Limoilou, seeded third, overcame a 2-1
Douglas advantage to advance to the winner’s bracket with a 3-2 (16-25, 25-22, 20-25, 25-20, 1513) triumph. In the marathon match, second-year outside hitter Carson Heppell was named the Royals’ player of the game. A day later, Douglas bounced back in a big way and used all five sets to stop seventh seed Keyano Huskies 3-2 (25-22, 2325, 25-20, 20-25, 15-11). Earning player of the game honours was outside hitter Kristian Currie. In a crucial contest to see who would play for bronze, the Roy-
als earned a rematch against B.C. champion Camosun on Friday. Despite dropping the first set, Douglas resoundedly answered back and pulled out a polished if somewhat dramatic 3-1 decision (21-25, 25-20, 25-17, 27-25). Heppell picked up his second player of the game award. Although they didn’t get to walk off the court with a medal in their match with Fanshawe, Douglas did itself proud in how it competed amongst the best in the nation. Third-year veteran George Thompson was named to the second all-star team.
Records remade as Hyacks medal at B.C.s
Buoyed by a dominant showing from their boys, the Hyack Swim Club finished in second place at the Swim B.C. AAA championships in Saanich. When the water calmed, the New Westminster-based Hyacks accumulated 3,092.5 points, trailing just UVic-Pacific Coast Club’s 3,232.5 points, and nearly 1,000 more points than the third-place finisher. When it came to the boys, the Hyacks piled up twice as many points as its nearest competitors, led by a trio of water stars: 10-yearold Sergey Chernomorchenko, who won two
events and eight medals in total, remaking all the club’s 10 and under boys records in the process; 11-year-old Adam Wu, who reeled off 11 gold medals to lead the hardware tally; and 14-year-old Sehajvir Singh’s record-setting swim in the 400-metre individual medley. Singh broke the old B.C. record by nearly two seconds, finishing in a time of 4:32.84. Winning four girls events was nationally ranked Octavia Lau, 14, as well as a pair of silver. In the overall points race, it came down between the Hyacks and UVic, with UVic pull-
ing away on the third day for a fourth consecutive title. “Going into this meet we anticipated we would be able to take a run at the championship but with our group having 20 less swimmers overall we kind of thought we would run out of scoring swims by the last day and that was the case,” remarked Hyacks coach Mark Bottrill. “With that said, though, we swam great with 15 club records going down and our swimmers getting to meet records and a new provincial record.” Continued on page 38

UBC scores tier 2 crown Locals collect B.C. silver
Continued from page 37 Janssen, Jordan McBride, and (goalie) Ross Manson stepped up to take over managing the team, got players to show up, and the rest is history,” added Gagne. They were part of an invaluable core which helped turn the page, noted the coach. “The team rallies around (attackers) McBride, Negrin, (defender) Calvin Castagner and Manson,” said Gagne. “Jordan was a standout in college at Stony Brook
University in NewYork, he’s played in the (Western Lacrosse Association, National Lacrosse League, Major Lacrosse League)... He brings a level of experience that changes the entire dynamic of the team. “Calvin is the captain of the defensive unit and is a born leader. Ross is a goalie everyone wishes they had.” In tier 2 action, the University of B.C.Thunderbirds swept their way to the title, edging the Victoria Axmen 10-9 in the final.
As a second-year program in the Canada West circuit, the UBC Lacrosse Sports Club has put itself on the map quickly, advancing to the provincial championship final both times. This time, they got the decision they coveted. Freshman and Burnaby native James Lattimer broke the tie to lift UBC to its first title. The lineup includes a pair of NewWest products -- Louis Landolt and James McKenzie, and coach Kyle Robinson.
Six practices, 17 athletes, seven communities. The players representing Zone 4 came together over a short period of time to accomplish a silver medal in ringette at last month’s B.C.Winter Games in Penticton. The team, which included six players from Burnaby-New West’s association, bonded together under coach Amy Byrne and rolled undefeated through the roundrobin portion of the tourney. Wins of 7-0 over Northwest and 9-2 over a Fraser River team were followed by a dramatic draw with Vancouver Coastal, with Burnaby-New West’s Grace Okamura netted the game-tying goal with just over a minute to play.
In the final the squad had its hands full against Thompson-Okanagan, and settled for silver. Also contributing to the cause were Burnaby-New West’s Margaret Donovan, Jaiden Leong, Kurtis and Nathan Lew and Blake Prescott. Due to the amount of players trying out for Zone 4, a second squad, labelled the Fraser River replacement team, entered and showed improvement each game. Among the players on the Fraser River replacement roster were Burnaby-New West’s Kennedy Beemish, Kennedi Johansen and Rachel Kong.
