CITY EATS

From Russia with taste By Tereza Verenca

Natalia Mitrofanova of the Russian Spoon Bakery dishes up homecooked traditional Russian cuisine in the food court at Royal City Centre. She began her business selling piroshki at farmers’ markets around the region.

Food court eats are usually synonymous with deep fried goodies – from burgers and fries to slices of pizza and cans of pop. One New West woman has broken the mould and is offering an alternative. Russian Spoon – located inside Royal City Centre between A&W and Amar’s Indian Feast – is the first restaurant in a Canadian mall food court that serves home-cooked, traditional Russian cuisine, according to its owner. “It’s very healthy. It’s cooked from scratch,” said Natalia

Cemetery back to haunt new school? By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Find another location. That’s the message coming from the Canadians for Reconciliation Society this week over the historic cemetery that lies beneath a portion of New Westminster Secondary School. Bill Chu, CEO of the society, told the Record his group doesn’t oppose a new high school for New Westminster but does oppose the proposed location.The group

is a Chinese, Christian-based society that works to promote reconciliation with Canada’s indigenous peoples and to raise awareness of the histories of minority communities in B.C. Chu recently sent a letter to the Ministry of Education to ask it to direct the district to find another site. “Don’t get us wrong, we wish them all the best in building a high school, … but what we don’t want is them to dig up a cemetery just for the sake of building the high school over top,” he said.

While there is a limited amount of available land to build on in New Westminster, Chu said the city was able to build Westminster Pier Park out of nothing. So why not use that area, he suggested. “They backfilled, and then they created an area big enough for a plane to land, so that’s a perfect area if you ask me,” he said. Chu added the issue is bigger than replacing a high school, it’s more about respect than anything. “If we start this trend, when would the trend end? So it has nothing to do with the

Numerous studies have revealed there is a cemetery, the Douglas Road Cemetery, which runs from 10th Avenue and Eighth Street to Dublin Street and makes up more than five acres of the high school site. First used as a pioneer graveyard, the cemetery was in operation from 1860 to 1920. Eventually it was used to bury the bodies of the poor, prisoners, stillborn Continued on page 8

Up Front CITY HERITAGE

What’s next for the old Keg building? By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Keg called the Royal City home for nearly four decades, but it doesn’t have an appetite to return anytime soon. In 1973, the Keg opened in a building in Hyack Square that was built as a train station for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1899. By 2013, the restaurant had closed so it could address structural issues with the building. “It was a very old building,” said Doug Smith, chief operating officer and vice president of operations for the Keg. “We loved that building.We had a great history there and a great relationship with the community, but it was in really dire need of renovations. Given the weight of restaurant equipment and needs for hygiene and safety in the kitchen area, it was not feasible for us to do the work that was required.” While it’s a beautiful building, Smith said the Keg closed its New Westminster restaurant as it didn’t see a long-term plan for that site. The 1899 Canadian Pacific Railway Station is included in the city’s heritage register, which includes properties deemed to have heritage value. A statement of significance indicates the building is considered to be a “fine example” of the CPR’s signature chateau style of architecture. Brock Rodgers, who co-

FUTURE UNKNOWN: The Keg called the CPR station in Hyack Square home before shutting its doors in 2013 because of issues with the building. The building’s owners are in the early stage of conceptual plans for the site and believe it would take about half-a-million dollars to make it restaurant-ready. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER owns the building with Ken Brookes, estimates it would take about half-a-million dollars to make repairs needed to make the space restaurant ready. He said Brookes is in the early stages of working on concepts for the space with architect Eric Pattison. Rodgers and Brookes own businesses, including Billy Miner Pub in Ma-

ple Ridge,Witchcraft Beer Market and Bistro in Maple Ridge, Mission Springs Brewing Company in Mission and Hearthstone Brewery in North Vancouver. It’s possible they may look at a brew pub format for the local site. “We really can’t do anything until the Keg’s lease is up.They are still renting,” he said of the lease

that doesn’t expire for about 18 months. “We are taking advantage of this time to get plans together and talk with the city.We have some ideas about how we’d like to maintain the character of the building, but we want to make it a little more functional.” One of the issues has been the lack of parking around the site, said Rodg-

ers. If a restaurant opens on that site, he said a valet service may help on that front. Rodgers, who worked at the Keg New Westminster when he was 18, said the owners have never listed the property, but they have had offers and inquiries for the space. He could see the owners using a big chunk of the space themselves, and perhaps renting out a por-

tion of the “landmark location” to a coffee shop. Joan Drabyk, the city’s permit coordinator, said the city had the owner do some work on floors to make them safer in 2013. “Definitely before it gets reoccupied for whatever use, it is probably going to Continued on page 11

Parents ask city to help get kids to school By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Imagine walking four kilometres through the rain or snow and crossing busy streets to get to school.That could be the reality for some children who’ll be attending École Fraser River Middle School in the fall. West End resident Krista Burrows appeared before city council Monday night to make the city aware of transportation issues affecting some kids who will be attending the new middle school in September, with some needing to walk more than four kilometres, take a minimum of two buses or take SkyTrain to get to and from

school. For students living in Connaught Heights and some parts of the West End, she said it could take 45 minutes for kids to walk to school. As a result of the walking distances, the routes to school and inadequate bus transportation, some parents have been investigating the possibility of hiring a private charter bus to transport students to and from the middle school. “The school district did help us in distributing a survey.We received confirmation last Friday from 62 parents who were interested and willing to pay approximately $75 per month for the service. Other parents were also interested but stated they would

not be able to pay this amount,” Burrows said. “We would like to be able to ensure the service is accessible for all parents. Parents from Qayqayt and Glenbrook French programs have now also expressed interest in the bus service. As families are exposed to this idea, we suspect that more will come forward with requests for service.” Grades 6 to 8 students from Connaught Heights, Lord Tweedsmsuir, Lord Kelvin and École Qayqayt elementary schools will be attending the new École Fraser River Middle School, which is located at Eighth Street and Queens Avenue. Burrows told council that an-

other Lower Mainland school district has a similar transportation program, with a business sponsoring part of the cost of the charter bus service. In order to bring the service down to about $50 a month, she said parents are wondering if the city would consider a one-time start-up grant to get a charter bus service up and running. Burrows said parents have met with TransLink, which indicated it wasn’t willing to change the bus routes as it would impact services in New Westminster, Burnaby and Coquitlam. She said the New Westminster school district has indicated the distance students must travel to school isn’t far enough to

warrant a school district-provided bus service. Coun. Bill Harper said his granddaughter attends Lord Kelvin Elementary School and will be among the students who will have to find her way to the new middle school. “On a rainy, cold, dark December day, that’s not going to be an easy task. People are going to drive. It’s bad enough now at elementary schools,” he said. “Thank you for the work you are doing.” Council directed staff to report back to council with information about the transportation issue related to the school, and to contact TransLink and the school district.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Sensitive? Yes. But sacrosanct? No Oh, no. Please tell us this isn’t happening again. Bill Chu (see front page story) has raised concerns – again, that the new high school will be built on a graveyard containing the bodies of Chinese citizens. The cemetery on the school site was built in 1860 when New Westminster was a small village. Chinese and Sikh immigrants, First Nations people, prisoners, asylum residents and the poor were buried at the site,

which operated as a graveyard until the city closed it in 1914. Apparently in the 1940s, when the city was clearing the site to build the current high school, some of the bodies were exhumed and moved. But historical records have not been found yet that say how many were moved or where they were taken. If there are remains still on the site – and there likely are – the school district

would have to follow the Heritage Conservation Act requirements, which include getting a permit. The last time this whole issue was brought up was in 2008, when then-education minister Shirley Bond told the Record, “I think people can understand that we need to be really sensitive, and there are requirements to take care of ...” The district back then had hired Doug Hibbins to get the school project back

on track, and Hibbins said, “If it was one of your ancestors, you would want it dealt with in a very sensitive way ...” Now, we sure don’t want to seem insensitive, but it’s time that this whole cemetery thing is laid to rest, so to speak. To be very clear, New Westminster has not always treated its Chinese population and history with the respect it deserves. This city was home to the

second largest Chinatown in Canada in the 1800s. Those immigrants built the railway, roads and telegraph lines that provided a base for what was to come. And those same immigrants were denied basic human rights, and many died while working under terrible conditions. In New Westminster the city demolished its Chinatown, and the fire chief of the day claimed: “In one day we tore down every

building in Chinatown.” This included homes that were inhabited. It’s not a history to be proud of. And the city has apologized for those historical atrocities. But we desperately need a new high school, and the site cannot be turned into a massive memorial to avoid tackling the issue of buried bodies. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Liberals sail on unperturbed The B.C. Liberals show no sign of dropping their public pretence that all is well in the world and that their hold on power in this province will not end anytime soon, no matter how many controversies may befall them. Whether it involves school trustees complaining about a lack of funding or outcries over political fundraising and the generous salary the B.C. Liberal party provides Premier Christy Clark, or grumpiness over ever-rising B.C. Hydro rates, ICBC rates, MSP premiums and what have you, the B.C. Liberals just sail along seemingly unperturbed about anything. How to explain this hubris, this entrenched confidence? Part of the answer lies in their entirely unexpected, yet decisive, election victory in 2013. If you recall, the B.C. Liberal government was beset with internal strife just before the election campaign and seemed to be falling apart. Clark herself seemed unpopular and not particularly liked by a number of members of her own caucus.Things looked decidedly bleak for her and her party, and yet when the smoke cleared on election night, not only had the B.C. Liberals won, but they had held their seat count. This verdict seems to have convinced the B.C. Liberals of two vital points: people don’t focus on politics until an election campaign actually begins, and when they do, they think most-

ly about their economic future above everything else. The premier and her colleagues insist controversies like fundraising or questions about B.C. Hydro’s accounting methods are simply the equivalent of noise for average folks and won’t determine the outcome of next spring’s election.They may be entirely correct. After all, many folks (including myself) thought controversies and scandals of varying degrees would have played a key role in the last election’s outcome, and they most certainly did not. Governments of all stripes build up an impressive pile of scandals over time, and they don’t necessarily lead to electoral disaster. The premier and her party are betting that nothing has changed.They look at their chief opponent – the New Democratic Party – and see a party associated with losing far more often than winning, and for not being known for having a strong, credible reputation when it comes to anything about the economy. And so the B.C. Liberals add it all up and think it points to an election decision that has favoured its side in 15 of the last 18 contests. People vote with their wallets, so they believe, not with their emotions. As I have noted, they may be quite right. But it doesn’t necessarily make for good government, just for a perpetually winning one. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

The case of the empty bank A woman strolled through the front doors of the Bank of Montreal on Columbia Street to make a withdrawal one Saturday in April only to find the bank totally deserted. She rechecked the hours, and, sure enough, the bank was closed. Apparently cleaning staff had left the doors unlocked. “Fortunately the woman didn’t decide to make an unauthorized withdrawal and called the police instead,” quipped NWPD Cpl. Gary Weishaar.

NewWest could really use a Mr. Mikes

Should there be booze at Pier Park?

Dear Editor After reading your latest about Anvil Centre and city council taking their time on deciding on the Mr. Mikes, I just had to write something. I was most disappointed; being a resident of New West (the Quay), I know how much we need more restaurants that have a varied menu. With the Keg gone (unfortunately), we have no other real middle-of-the-road, decent varied menu restaurant downtown Columbia. I agree with the other readers that mention why are we waiting – for another offer? What revenue is Anvil losing while we wait? This is a great opportunity for both New West and Mr. Mikes. We don’t need another coffee house or fast food restaurant. Mr. Mikes would be a great option for the corner and in my opinion a huge mistake to let this pass us by. K. Long, New Westminster

Bus service changes hurt Quayside folks Dear Editor TransLink needs to give its head a shake. Today I was heading home from work, dinner groceries in tow, and waiting for the new C3 Quayside community shuttle to ferry my tired and hungry bones home. The scheduled 6:05 bus never came. The next one was scheduled for 6:19, and at 6:11 I gave up and decided to walk. I beat the next bus to Renaissance Square at 6:25. I was less than amused. When I moved to the Quayside community in 2006, one of the selling features was the fact that a community shuttle was readily available to carry residents to/from the SkyTrain. Over the years, this route was changed a few times, but two things always stayed the same: It was reliable, and it ran until 11 p.m. most nights. Now, I’m the first to admit that this service often ran empty, particularly in the off-peak hours. But it was clear, even then, that when the route transitioned to include uptown or Victoria Hill, the reliability suffered. TransLink has decided that now is the perfect time to make a change that completely undermines this service. First, the route is no longer a Quayside loop but permanently traverses New Westminster from Quayside to Victoria Hill. This means it is running right through the traffic that regularly constipates Royal Avenue, and there isn’t a hope this route will run on time when its most needed: during peak hours. Front Street is closed, and now with the Pattullo Bridge work, traffic through the city is worse than ever. Excellent timing. Further, it would seem that TransLink thinks that everyone who lives Quayside should observe a 9 p.m. curfew, because that’s when service ends. Every day. If you’re out past 9 p.m., you’re either walking or taking a cab. Or you can take the 112 Edmonds Station bus, and walk from 12th Street. Who are the “67 per cent of those surveyed” that supported this change? Not anyone who lives Quayside, I’d wager. I can’t help but imagine that the slow, steady erosion of this route I’ve observed in recent years will continue. How long before TransLink decides that Quayside doesn’t deserve service at all? Kelly Keitel, New Westminster

Jessica A. Gihon So happy to see NW reinvent itself... I am all for seeing beer and wine being served at the pier as long as it is respected by all... NW could be another Gastown in the future. Providing the city and it’s residents have an open mind. Mike Barkwill Way does every one think they need alcohol to have fun or enjoy theme self all it well take is one idiot who can’t handle there booze and do something stupid and ruin it for every one so I say no keep the alcohol in the bars and restaurants Ps I’m speaking from experience as what booze can do to family’s Matt Lorenzi That’s too bad to hear, but that is the problem with our North American attitude towards booze. One set of individuals cannot handle themselves and so the rest of us get treated like kids. I would argue centralizing alcohol consumption the a handful of pubs in New West has done little to solve the problem of alcoholism. Jeremy Perry Really hope this can go forward, not only will it enhance people’s experience in the park, but it will help with city revenue. Brian Hughes The burgers and ice cream are already good, throw in some vodka and Begbies may not see me until winter. Ben Inglis Perfect! And the nay sayers who complain about that “ one person” can stay home. No matter what you do or where you go there is always that one person. So grow up. Laura Cuthbert This is wonderful and forward. NW man, so great!

Ask City Hall: Why isn’t there a school speed zone on Royal? Briana Harris I wonder if the parents whose child was hit by a truck at that crosswalk a couple weeks ago are satisfied with the answer. Thank God the child didn’t get killed. My children go there but we go in from the other side on Agnes so don’t cross there, but it’s only a matter of time before someone gets more seriously injured there... Kim Zimmerman That’s a good question. The other question I have in addition is what is the school doing about all the truck pollution wafting down onto the school while the kids are learning/playing inside and outside? It just doesn’t make sense... Christine Bourne It doesn’t seem like the most likely spot for an elementary school.

News Group wants to be sure cemetery is not forgotten Continued from page 1 babies and mentally ill patients from Woodlands and Essondale – which later became Riverview.The land was also used by Chinese, Sikh and First Nations communities to bury their dead. The cemetery was never properly decommissioned and therefore cannot be used in the high school re-

placement project. Chu suggested the district and province is brushing aside the cemetery issue by not considering another location, and he is worried people will forget it even exists below the school once the project gets its final approval. The details of the project, however, are still unknown. Last month, the

Record spoke with superintendent Pat Duncan, who confirmed that until it’s approved, the district can’t say much about what the replacement will look like or exactly where it will be built. He did, however, say that students won’t be directly impacted by the construction. But because Canadians for Reconciliation Society

isn’t a New Westminsterbased group, Chu said it’s been difficult staying abreast of developments in the high school replacement saga. “Many of the stakeholders are so far away, some as far as the Tsilhqot’in or on the island and so on, so I mean there’s no way for them to know what happened,” he said. The last time Chu met

with someone from the district was in 2014, when he met with then-superintendent John Gaiptman. STILL NO NEW SCHOOL Meanwhile, the fight for a new high school in New Westminster continues. Last month, a group of parents organized a rally at the high school calling on the province to approve the

replacement of New Westminster Secondary School, and while the event drew hundreds of people, no announcement has been made. The Record spoke with a representative from the Ministry of Education who said the project was still waiting for final approval and there was no firm date for that to happen.

Business owner is keeping her family traditions alive Continued from page 1 Mitrofanova, proudly. “We never use canned food, we never use preservatives or MSG.” Mitrofanova, who immigrated to Canada 15 years ago with a degree in microchip engineering, opened Russian Spoon last July. Prior to that, she was selling Russian piroshki at farmers’ markets. “We saw a very good customer response,” the mother of two told the Record of her reason to start up the business. Asked why she

didn’t move into a café or a restaurant, Mitrofanova said the food court setting is more “stable.” “Here, people can stop in anytime, grab food, taste almost anything. It’s faster in the mall. People can see this food. It’s in warmers, it’s hot, and you serve them in three minutes.” Business has had its ups and downs, she added. “Not a lot of people know about Russian food.They’re surprised, they’re scared to try, and they think it’s spicy. It’s mild.”

The menu includes borscht (beef or vegan), fried cabbage with sausage, cabbage rolls (beef or vegan), plov (beef and rice stirfry) and pelmeni (beef and pork dumplings).There’s also pierogis, beef stroganoff and made-in-house cottage cheese. Foodies can order combos (between $8 and $10) or pay $2.50 per spoonful. Mitrofanova even hands out a free, hand-crafted wooden spoon, painted in black, red and gold, for orders of $50 or more.

On the sweeter side, the pastry selection includes stuffed crepes, vatrushka (a baked bun with sweet cottage cheese on top) and napoleon cake. Mitrofanova tries to educate her customers as much as possible by posting photos with every dish. She answers any and all questions related to her cuisine – from how much magnesium is in a serving of buckwheat to what ingredients make up her beef and potato stew. At the end of the day, it’s about keeping her family’s

City

Shaping the future of the city City is moving forward with an updated official community plan Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Highrises near the 22nd Street SkyTrain station and laneway houses in residential neighbourhoods are among the changes proposed as the city continues to update New Westminster’s official community plan. On April 25, council received a staff report about the Our City community consultation on a housing process that occurred between November 2015 and February 2016.The 700-plus page document included feedback from the community during the consultation process. “Generally people within the single-detached dwelling neighbourhoods love what they have and are very excited about the existing character and want to make sure those important elements are maintained as we go forward,” said plan-

ner Lynn Roxburgh. “But we also heard a lot of messages about the need for some increased flexibility to make sure that their property or their house continues to meet the needs of their family.We heard a lot of stories about people with aging parents – they want them to be able to live on their property and care for them.We all know that kids aren’t leaving home as early as they have been, so they want to be able to build them their own space or have that separation but still keep everybody within the property.” During the consultation process, the city presented residents with three scenarios for each neighbourhood, with these scenarios ranging from moderate to more significant growth.The city sought input about housing forms, such as laneway and carriage houses, small-lot single-detached dwellings, duplexes, cluster houses, tri-

plexes, quadraplexes, row houses and townhouses. “The most popular was laneway housing,” Roxburgh said. “Of the people who gave us feedback on laneway housing, 66 per cent were in favour.” Roxburgh said there won’t be a one-size-fitsall plan that can be applied across the board in New West.

We heard a lot of stories about people with aging parents

“We need to make sure we are taking into account the differences between neighbourhoods, and even within neighbourhoods there’s differences,” Roxburgh said. So, what’s the plan for housing in New West neighbourhoods? “Generally what we proposed as a base throughout

most of the communities is that we would do a low-infill as a starting point, to think about whether laneway housing and carriage housing is appropriate throughout the neighbourhood,” Roxburgh said. “As a next step we have to refine what’s actually included and not included in that land-use designation. As a starting point we’re assuming everybody is on board with considering laneway housing.” Council discussed changes proposed to some neighbourhoods at an April 25 workshop but will continue the discussion at a workshop on May 16. Staff has recommended that council direct staff to begin an implementation strategy for laneway houses and carriage houses, and for row houses and townhouses, but council didn’t have time to consider the staff recommendation at the meeting. “The next step for us is to create the first draft of the land-use plan.That will be the map that shows where different land-uses can go,” Roxburgh said.

What are people saying? The City of New Westminster received 1,200 surveys and heard from more than 2,000 people during its “community conversation on housing” as part of the official community plan update. The following is a sampling of some of the feedback received: Brow of the Hill Support for a mix of new infill housing forms throughout the neighbourhood instead of more apartments. Single detached dwellings should be part of the mix. Connaught Heights Some support for allowing highrises near 22nd Street SkyTrain station and modest commercial on Seventh Avenue. Glenbrooke North Support for high-density redevelopment at Royal Square Mall, and some low infill in different parts of the neighbourhood. Queen’s Park Support for the status quo, but consideration of implementing low infill in a way that’s consistent with recommendations of the Queen’s Park working group. Massey-Victory Heights

Some support for moderate or high infill on 10th Avenue, high infill on East Eighth Avenue and some low infill in the neighbourhood. McBride-Sapperton Interest in more medical related land uses around Royal Columbian Hospital, some support for new housing forms in areas within a five-minute walk to SkyTrain some interest in mix of moderate and high infill around Richard McBride Elementary School, and some support for high infill on Rousseau Street and along Wilson Street. Moody Park Some support for increased density along 10th Avenue as it’s a main traffic corridor. On 12th Street, there’s some interest in allowing residential at grade (instead of requiring commercial) to increase the viability of remaining commercial. West End Support for some form of redevelopment on properties below Grimston Park, as well as moderate or high infill housing along Sixth Avenue and low infill at different locations in the neighbourhood.

Smith said Keg restaurants are typically between 8,000 and 10,000 square feet, so the space in Anvil Centre doesn’t come close to meeting its needs for space.

21st Annual

Citizens remain mum about council pay hikes Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council isn’t encountering a lot of opposition for its proposed wage hikes. The proposal would see the mayor’s current annual indemnity of $98,868 be increased by 3.2 per cent to $102,017 and councillors’ stipends increase 8.9 per cent from $38,154 to $41,533. In addition to their regular stipend, councillors also receive $1,000 for the months they serve as acting mayor. Monday’s council meeting included an opportunity for citizens to comment on the proposed increases, but no one voiced any support or opposition to the planned remuneration. Joan Burgess, the city’s director of human resources, said the city conducts an in-depth review of mayor and council’s remuneration every four years.That review includes gathering

data from 11 neighbouring municipalities, including information about municipal populations, municipal expenditures and indemnities provided to mayors and councillors. Burgess said the finance department compiles the data using a “regression analysis” to determine the potential percentage adjustment to council’s remuneration. She said staff identifies a high, mid and low range of remuneration. “The City of New Westminster’s compensation policies reflect a conservative application of a mid-range adjustment,” she said Monday night. “This is recommended in the 2016 review.” Along with annual wage increase, Burgess said staff recommended council members’ expense allowances be increased from $3,000 to $5,000 in recognition of the increased costs generated by doing council business.The council ex-

pense policy provides the mayor and council with payment for expenses incurred while engaging in city business such as courses, negotiations, committee work, intergovernmental business, workshops, seminars, training programs, conferences and other functions. Burgess said the city has also added a vehicle allowances to council’s expense policy, providing $200 per month for the mayor and $100 per month for councillors. She said this “modest” allowance took into account the amounts offered in other municipalities. “This allowance is provided on a monthly basis automatically,” she wrote in an email to the Record, when asked whether they will get the vehicle allowance if they don’t drive or choose to take transit, bike or walk for city business. Staff will bring a report back to council for its consideration and approval at the May 9 meeting.

A closer look

Tunnelling towards the next century Tunnel under the Fraser will carry drinking water to the south side Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A tunnel will one day link New Westminster to Surrey deep under the Mighty Fraser to provide drinking water for folks living on the south side of the river. Metro Vancouver is in the early stages of planning for the Annacis water supply tunnel, which would be about four to five metres in diameter and will house a 2.5-metre steel water main that will be connected to the existing distribution system. Contractors were recently at the Quay doing geotechnical testing as part of a drilling program along the proposed tunnel alignment.

We need to be looking ahead for future generations

“This project will have a design life of 100 years.We are looking at the growth in water demand to be fairly significant over that period of time frame,” said Frank Huber, director of major projects, management systems and utility services for Metro Vancouver. “While we certainly have enough capacity right now, we need to be looking ahead for future generations. That’s what this is doing. It’s part of our long-term planning.” Huber said Metro Vancouver has done some con-

ceptual work in the last couple of years to get a handle on the best location to build the tunnel and how to tie it in to the existing water system. “We have just started the next phase of engineering called preliminary design.That will take about two years to complete.Then we go into detailed design. That will also take at least a year-and-a-half to complete,” Huber said. “So we wouldn’t be going to construction until probably early 2020. But again, these are early days still so these days are a bit fluid.” While the depth of the Fraser River varies quite a bit, Huber said it’s about 30 metres in the area being considered for the tunnel.The tunnel would be located 50 to 70 metres below the top of the river. “The purpose for it being as deep as we want it to be is we want to make sure that it’s seismically resistant,” Huber said. “Any marine crossings we are building these days, we want to make sure that they can ride out a major earthquake. If they fail, they take so many years to design and build that it would be very difficult for the whole region in a period like that.” To get that deep under the river, Metro Vancouver will construct a shaft on the south side of the river in the area near South Fraser Perimeter Road and Grace Road.That vertical shaft will go down to the final elevation of the tunnel. “Then we lower down a tunnel-boring machine,

similar to the Port Mann tunnel that we are just finishing, and that machine will bore under the river for about 2.3 kilometres and it will connect with a shaft that will have been excavated on the north side in New Westminster near Royal Avenue and 11th Street,” Huber said. The exact location of the New Westminster site has yet to be finalized, as Metro Vancouver is looking at a number of properties and hopes to purchase one of them. “The way we have designed this is we would have the entry shaft on the Surrey side, where the property we are looking at is owned by the City of Surrey and is much more spacious and rural.That’s the larger site where the contractor would have his lay-down area for

the tunnel-boring machine and equipment, versus on the north side in New West it’s a much smaller area. There, all we need to be

able to do is build the shaft and have a crane and some minor ancillary equipment to allow people to go up and down,” Huber said. “It’s a

much smaller footprint on the New West side than on the Surrey side.”

This Mother’s Day treat mom to sweet strawberry macarons Strawberry Macarons

INGREDIENTS

1¼ cups almond flour 1 cup icing sugar 4 egg whites Red liquid food colouring (10 drops) 1/2 cup sugar

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix together the almond flour and icing sugar and set aside. In a bowl, beat egg whites with food colouring until soft peaks form. Gradually add in sugar, beating constantly until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, combine egg white mixture with the ground almonds mixture and mix until the meringue fall and soften slightly. With a pastry bag fitted

with a 1/2-inch plain tip, shape 1-inch macarons, spacing them about 2-inches apart. Lightly slam the baking sheets on the work surface to flatten macarons. Bake, one sheet at a time for about 12-15 minutes for bigger sized macarons and 10-12 minutes for smaller macarons, leaving the oven door slightly ajar. When finished, take out macarons from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. For the strawberry filling, puree strawberries in a food processor. In a bowl, beat the butter until soft and then whisk in icing sugar and strawberry purée and spoon into a piping bag. Fill the macarons with the buttercream filling and sandwich the macarons together.

Refreshed: Trustees approved a new design for the district’s logo, replacing the crown with a new design that encompasses the new vision for New Westminster schools. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Local schools get a new image Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district has a new look. After months of back and forth over designs, fonts and colours, trustees unanimously approved a new logo for the district this week. Trustee Mark Gifford called the new design a “massive improvement” over the previous design, which was a group of children holding hands made to look like a crown. The new design, created by Margot McLaren art & design, is shaped like a circle with a “Hyack” orange bridge on top and green land on the bottom. Inside are three waves, meant to represent the three levels of education offered in the district, which flow out of the circle to the right. Trustee Casey Cook not-

ed the waves bring to mind children and their journey through the district, eventually graduating and beginning their own journeys outside of the school system. “There’s a whole bunch of symbolism there, and I think it’s wonderful,” Cook said. Trustees and staff agreed the new look and new name, “New Westminster Schools” rather than “School District No. 40,” is an important part of the new direction the district is headed and its goal of becoming an inclusive community for all its students. “I like it, and I know what it stands for, and it’s great and I think it’s important to share that,” Cook said. The final cost for the new logo hasn’t been confirmed yet, but superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record he expects it’ll be somewhere in the range of $3,200.

Soil is a building block towards a healthy environment; it promotes growth of plants, some of which lead to food production. Maintaining a healthy soil will provide economical and functional benefits. Choices Markets Full Circle Soil is derived from the compost from our stores. The compostable materials from the stores are broken down over a period of 5 to 6 months, through a fully aerated static pile method, ending with the top soil that we call Full Circle! Our Full Circle Top Soil is nutrient-rich and a part of our effort to provide a sustainable option for the environment.

If you’ve ever passed by the NewWestminster Lawn Bowling Club and wondered what it’s all about, now’s the time to find out. The lawn bowling club is having its annual open house on Saturday, May 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Moody Park – next to Century House and the tennis courts. Mayor Jonathan Cote was on hand for the season opener on April 29, tossing the first ball before heading to another mayoral function. AN INVITATION TO BRIDES AND WEDDING PLANNERS St. Aidan’s Church is having an open house for anyone interested in putting on a wedding. Brides, wedding planners, pianists, photographers and others involved in weddings are invited to the event that’s taking place on Thursday, May 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1320 Seventh Ave. “We have renovated the

stage and everything,” said Doreen Bloudell. “We are hoping to get some business to pay for it.” For information, call 6040521-8313 or drop by the open house. EAGLES GET COOKIN’ Two local women claimed bragging rights after taking part in the Fraternal Order of Eagles #20 NewWestminster Chili and chowder cook-off. Leona Green, owner of Greens and Beans Deli in Sapperton, won first place in the chili category, while CarolWierzbicki of CanEngrave took first place in the chowder category. The April 16 event, which featured entertainment by Klondike Kate (Gillian Campbell) raised money for charities supported by the Eagles.

Volunteers will receive weekly training for a total of 50 hours, beginning late September 2016. After the training, volunteers will have an eight-week internship, followed by weekly consultation with a professional counsellor as they support their first client.To keep their skills current, volunteers will then have ongoing weekly meetings. There is a $100 fee for this professional training, but financial assistance may be available. Century House asks that volunteers commit to the program for one year, by attending weekly classes and meeting with at least one client for one hour a week for one year after the training is finished. Anyone interested in the Senior Peer Counseling Program and the upcoming training class is invited to attend an information ses-

sion onWednesday, June 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Century House, 620 Eighth St. To register, call 604-5191064 or email info@chspc. ca.

Ladies who laugh Continued from page 22 during a phone interview from her Edmonton home. “I’ve done the show about 80 times; rarely has the audience not joined me in song up on their seat holding each other.” Ryan, who’s also co-host of Edmonton’s Breakfast Television on City, gained interest in cabaret in her early years. After graduating with a musical degree from the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music, she eventually made a name for herself as an actor in NewYork. She performed in several national tours across the U.S. and has since worked with just about every single major theatre company in Canada, according to a press release. The seven years she spent in NewYork were “awesome and awful, inspiring and at the same time, terrifying.” Lots of her on-stage material comes from that chap-

ter of her life, according to Ryan, who considers herself “the everyday gal.” “There was just constant inspiration,” she added, noting she always makes it a priority to go back to the city that never sleeps. “It was a great city to be poor in.There’s so many museums. If they were too expensive for you, you could people watch, and you could live off pretzels and hot dogs. It’s one of those cities that’s unforgiving. Every day has to be an A-game kind of day.” Here’s to the LadiesWho Laugh isn’t just Ryan’s story, it’s everyone’s story, she said, and the stories are like a common denominator. “It’s basically about how laughter is a key element to health and longevity.” The Anvil Centre Theatre show is at 2 p.m. on May 8. There will be a dessert buffet at intermission.Tickets cost $50.Visit ticketsnw.ca.

around the world each May. They’re inspired by the work of Jane Jacobs, an urbanist and activist. Wilson is thrilled the city has decided to make walking a priority in its master transportation plan. “You need to do more than just build sidewalks,” she said. “You have to celebrate walking.You’ve got to have an event.” Jane’s Walks don’t have to be fancy or educational, said Wilson, as the purpose is to get people out walking with others. “My concern is people say, ‘I can’t lead a walk, I don’t know enough.’You don’t have to be an Archie Miller,” she said of the city’s well-known historian. “Archie Miller knows history, he knows that stuff. Me? The first year I did a walk, I said, ‘I’ve got books due back at the library – wanna come for a walk and take my books back?’ How much research does that take?” The informal walks give people a chance to chat and share ideas and information along the way. “In Jane’s Walks in oth-

er cities, I have seen people say, ‘I don’t go for a walk. How about if I do a Jane’s Walk and ask people to come with me and they can explain what this place is all about?’”Wilson said. “If I go for a walk in New Westminster, I expect that half the people will know more than I do – and they do, and they tell me stuff.” About a dozen local walks are in the works from May 6 to 8, with most taking place on Saturday, May 7. Details are available at www.janes walk.org/canada/new-west minster. Matt Matic, who is helping organize this year’s walks in New Westminter, said the walks are a good forum for community members to get together and share their knowledge and interest in the city.This year’s walks includes some favourites from past years and some new additions as well. “It’s pretty casual,”Wilson said. “No money, no registering. It’s the informality of it that I like. It’s just a grassroots thing.”

Q A

What is the cost of Dentures?

The cost of dentures is affected by many factors. Will this be a first set of dentures or a replacement set? Do you need partial dentures or full dentures? Will you choose standard dentures, and if so, which type? Or will you opt for dentures over implants?. PATRICK MARCELO R.D. The type of material used will also affect the final cost of your dentures. Basically the cost of any denture is related directly to it’s quality. That’s the bottom line. You get what you pay for. A good quality denture made by a top of the line denturist is going to give you the best value for the dollars you spend. While it wouldn’t be possible to quote actual prices for each type and procedure, those vary by denturist. At Prime Denture Clinic we can help break down the prices for you so you have a reasonable idea of what each procedure will cost. Hopefully this information will help you understand that there a varying degrees of cost according to the type of denture you finally choose.

Will I be affected if my spouse files for bankruptcy?

One person ﬁling for bankruptcy does not automatically mean their spouse is also bankrupt. You are not responsible for repaying your spouse’s debts BLAIR MANTIN unless you have co-signed for these debts. If a debt belongs only to your spouse then your credit is not affected by their bankruptcy. Assets you own separately are of no interest to the bankruptcy trustee. If assets have been transferred prior to ﬁling a bankruptcy there may be a further inquiry, however. In BC most people will keep all their assets in a bankruptcy. The bankrupt person reports household income to the trustee, however, the non-bankrupt spouse is not required to make payments towards the bankruptcy. Contact us today to learn more!

Eighty percent of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lifetime. Low back pain is commonly caused JEANNETTE LEBLANC by repetitive bending, twisting or lifting. Gardening involves a lot of these strenuous motions. Additionally, beginning a new activity without having the proper muscle strength and endurance can put you at risk for injury. Your Physiotherapist will diagnose your back problem, use manual therapy to restore proper joint mobility and muscle tone, and prescribe exercises to strengthen your core and gluts. The Physiotherapist will teach you proper body mechanics for when you return to gardening. Stretching exercises will help restore spine movement and function.

Q A

What do I do if I knock an adult tooth out traumatically?

If an adult tooth is dislodged the ﬁrst thing to do is ﬁnd the tooth and make sure it is clean. The socket will bleed so applying pressure with a tissue or gauze is wise. DR.ANDREW BASS Once the tooth has been located place it into some warm milk and phone a dentist immediately. A tooth that has been dislodged can be re-implanted with moderate success rates, though timing is critical; the sooner the better! The dentist will need to do a root treatment procedure and splint the tooth to adjacent teeth to increase the success of implantation. After a few weeks of healing the splint can be removed and stability assessed. This tooth will need to be checked regularly in the future to assess for any root problems that can arise as a consequence of this type of trauma. Going forward, it is wise to prepare for the future replacement of this tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture since long-term success is unpredictable. If you have further questions feel free to ask your dentist at your next visit!

Community 5 THINGS ABOUT ...

COPS’ ANNUAL REPORT Last week, the New Westminster Police Department released its 2015 annual report. The document outlines the department’s successes from the past year and some of its goals for the upcoming year. Now we know a lot of folks are too busy to read the document, so here are five things residents should know.

1 – THE POLICE

DEPARTMENT HAS AN APP

– MOBILE PD. The application allows residents to stay informed of any safety-related incidents that could impact their daily lives. Notifications alert residents of emergencies or incidents, including cougar sightings, missing persons and road closures. The app also provides residents with an up-to-date snapshot of crimes in their neighbourhood. Mobile PD is available for download through the Apple app

store or the Google Play marketplace.

2 – A NEW SECTION WAS BORN. To improve cooperation between units that deal with crime prevention, the department created the new prevention services section. Part of the administration division, overseen by Insp. Todd Matsumoto, prevention services includes the victim assistance unit, community services constable, mental health unit, domestic violence response team, crime prevention and the school liaison officers. 3 – THE 2016-2019

STRATEGIC PLAN IS HERE.

As noted in the report, 2016 is the final year for the previous three-year strategic plan. The new plan, released this week and available at www.nwpolice.org, is the product of consultations with community groups, a public survey, an internal staff survey, statistics on crime trends and a two-day planning session between officers and members of the police board, including Mayor Jonathan Cote.

4 — CALLS FOR SERVICE WERE UP. Despite an overall decline in calls for service of more than 1,200 since 2009, there was a two per cent increase

in calls in 2015 over 2014. The increase amounts to about 461 additional calls last year over 2014. Types of incidents that saw increases include violent offences and drug-related offences, which increased by four per cent and 13 per cent, respectively. Two per cent fewer property crimes were recorded while other crimes, including bail violations, disturbances and indecent acts, also declined by nine per cent. Municipal and traffic violations also decreased.

5 — EXPECT MORE PATROL OFFICERS ON THE ROADS DURING PEAK HOURS.

In 2015, the department analyzed the calls for service to determine during what times most calls were received. Peak call periods were revealed to be 2 to 11 p.m. on Mondays to Thursdays and from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays to Sundays. To provide better service to the community during these high-demand times, more officers were moved to a 4 p.m. start time, as allowed in their collective agreement, said Insp. Paul Hyland, who oversees the patrol division. (The adjusted start times do not result in a reduction in the number of officers deployed.) – Cayley Dobie

Greener ﬂeet is helping the cops to save money Department plans to replace all patrol cars with dual-fuel options Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Going green is paying off at the New Westminster Police Department. In April, the department announced its green ini-

tiatives have helped save the department more than $30,000 in fuel costs. Last year, the department started replacing aging patrol cars with vehicles equipped with dual-fuel technology.The new vehi-

cles use gasoline to ignite the engine but then switch to propane to power the vehicle while it’s being used, according to the department’s 2015 annual report, released last week. The department started with four dual-fuel patrol vehicles and has since replaced two more patrol vehicles with the new, green-

er models.The intention is to, over time, replace all 16 patrol cars with vehicles equipped with dual-fuel technology. New patrol cars are also being outfitted with a dualbattery system that allows the electronic equipment inside the vehicle to be used, even when the car is shut off.This initiative is part of

the department’s new anti-idling policy that requires officers to shut off their vehicles when not being driven. In 2015, the “green fleet” plus the department’s new anti-idling initiative saved the department $32,927 in fuel costs. It also led to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 24

per cent. Since the annual report was prepared, two more dual-fuel patrol vehicles have hit the streets of New Westminster. Only 10 remain and those will be replaced when needed. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

IN THE LIBRARY

Enjoy a range of art at new library exhibitions Kate Sloan

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

In February, the New Westminster Public Library launched a call for art submissions in the library. We also engaged a community art selection committee, which included: Rick Carswell, past president at Arts Council of New Westminster; Biliana Velkova, arts coordinator at the City of New Westminster; Erin Watkins, manager, programs and community development at the library; Peter McConville, library board trustee and myself Kate Sloan, public services librarian. It was not easy to choose from the 27 varied submissions from individual artists and groups from New Westminster and the greater Metro Vancouver area. After much deliberation, the committee selected nine individual artists and one group to show in the library for one-month shows, until the end of 2016. During the selection process, it was the goal of the committee to choose artists who practise in a variety of media and come from diverse experiences. The first selected show was hung this April by illus-

trator Eleanor Rosenberg. From May through December 2016, here is the upcoming roster of monthly artists, in order of date: Jessica Berg, multi-media; Jesse Cahill, photography; Carmen Taveras, watercolour; PJ Patten, comics;

It was not easy to choose from the 27 varied submissions Mardell Rampton, textiles; Iris Mes-Low, paint; Engelbert Romero, photography and Franci Louann, poetry and drawings. Currently, our Ramp Gallery is reserved for local schools and organizations.We are lucky to have

the Century House Artists present a portraiture exhibit from May through July, entitled Face to Face.You will also find Jessica Berg’s vinyl series in our Upstairs Gallery until the end of May. Our new art submission process has been a learning experience for all involved, with our continued goal to support the strong cultural community in New Westminster. We look forward to an even better experience for everyone in our 2017 call for submissions, planned for fall 2016. We welcome your feedback about the art in the library or our new submissions process, at art@nwpl. ca. In the meantime, please come see all the wonderful art at the library!

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES Summer camp op!ons abound for kids of all ages

Summer camp is a beloved tradi!on in many families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending their summers at summer camp, where they made lifelong friends and learned the Dner points of roas!ng marshmallows and compe!ng in three-legged sack races. Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will soon discover there are various types of summer camps, each o"ering youngsters something di"erent. The following are some of the summer camp op!ons parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camp for their kids. DAY CAMP Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the ac!vi!es people have come to associate

with camps, including cra#s, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attrac!ons. Many day camps are coed, and counsellors typically live in the community.

FAITH-BASED CAMP Faith-based camps o"er many of the same ac!vi!es as more tradi!onal summer camps but do so while simultaneously o"ering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs. Some faithbased camps may focus heavily on religion, incorpora!ng faith into daily camp ac!vi!es, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp ac!vi!es. SPORTS CAMPS Some summer camps focus on a par!cular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athle!c talents. Sports camps

may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruc!on from current and/or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.

there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who are blind or deaf, those who have learning disabili!es or those who

have mental or physical disabili!es. Sta" at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving

FAMILY CAMPS Family camps are opportuni!es for the whole family to enjoy the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor their ac!vi!es around tasks families can complete together, with counsellors providing assistance when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. Family camps may be faith-based or secular, and families typically stay overnight, sleeping in facili!es on the campsites or in lodging away from home. SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPS Parents of children with special needs can s!ll send their kids to summer camp, as

Community OUR PAST

History of world fairs is ‘truly eye-opening’ Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

As we have previously commented, the idea of history and what happened in the past is often an interesting concept for someone of a relatively young age. For many people, thinking about the fact that Expo’86 started 30 years ago is a combination of “how can it be 30 years already?” and “it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago.” For a younger person, the comment might be that it was “way before I was even born.”

Expo ’86 put our area on the worldwide map

No matter what our perspective is on this event – local, regional, or provincial – it was at the start of May 1986 that the exposition began its popular run, the anticipation of which had been building for a long, exciting time.There will undoubtedly be a great deal said about Expo’86 over the next six months as the fair and its

local influence is discussed, debated and remembered. The history of world fairs, exhibitions or expositions is extensive, truly eye-opening, extremely informative and highly entertaining. So many things in our history can be linked to a world fair. Inventions, products, processes and the like were often initially presented at a themed world fair because of the publicity and audience that was involved. Publications and descriptions from early fairs are wonderful to read. The fair that is usually referred to as the first was held in 1851 in London, England.This was The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations and gave us the famous structure,The Crystal Palace. In New Westminster of 1862 there was great excitement as a series of local items and display pieces were gathered for display at another “international exhibition” in London that year. Over the ensuing decades, local newspapers readers would see articles and promotions advertising other upcoming expositions. Fairs like Philadelphia (1876), Chicago (1893), Buffalo (1901) and St. Louis (1904) drew a lot of attention with

special ads pushing methods of travel using rail lines to visit the events.The 1889 fair in Paris highlighted the awe-inspiring, newly constructed, Eiffel Tower in its stories. On the West Coast there were exhibitions that would have had feature stories and promotions in local papers including Portland (1905), which was marking the Lewis and Clark Centennial, Seattle (1909) for the Alaska,Yukon and Pacific International Exposition, and San Francisco and San Diego in consecutive years 1915, 1916 for Panama Pacific and Panama California. Of course there were many others to follow and others to fill out an extensive list such as NewYork (1939) with its prognostications, Seattle (1962), and Montreal (1967), and, well, this list does go on. Thirty years ago Expo’86 put our area on the worldwide map of World Fairs, and the community got fully involved in the same spirit as the local citizens of 1862 had gathered at a hall downtown to see the things travelling around the world to an exposition in England.

Ladner’s small-time vibe a big draw Ladner’s newest development, Village Walk, is a collection of unique, family-sized townhomes situated in the heart of beautiful, historic Ladner Village

illage Walk Ladner is a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes located in the heart of Ladner Village, where nature, community, and recreation converge to create a unique lifestyle. With so many amenities within walking distance, every day will be a new adventure. You can shop along 48th Avenue, enjoy a latte at one of the many local coffee shops, visit Westham Island and purchase your produce fresh from a local organic farm. Life in Ladner would be nothing less than extraordinary. There’s plenty to do in this friendly, proud little gem of a town. In the heart of the historic town is where Village Walk will be located. Village Walk is right on the edge of the village (corner of 47A Avenue and 48B Street). You couldn’t get much more in the action, if you tried. Natalie Walker, Personal Real Estate Corporation ReMax ProGroup Realty said, “Location, location, location.” Ranging in size from 1,384 to 1,935 square feet, these 23 townhomes will allow room to grow and space to breathe. The homes will be built with classic detailing with luxurious fixtures

and finishes. These spacious, split-level layouts feature generous outdoor terraces for entertaining. These distinctive homes feature tankless on-demand hot water systems and gas fireplaces. The stylish and functional gourmet kitchens are complete with shaker style cabinets, quartz counters and stainless steel appliances. The master bedroom includes a spa-like ensuite that offers a double sink vanity, in floor heating, large shower as well as a walk-in closet The split-level layouts feature Hardie Plank exterior siding with elements of stone veneer accents. For those outdoor enthusiasts, Village Walk is within a short distance from

walking/cycling trails, paddling, fishing, boating, horseback riding, golfing and more. It is also minutes away from the new Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons – a 1.8 million-square-foot shopping centre opening this fall. “It won’t be long before people realize they’ve bought into some of the best real estate in the Lower Mainland,” adds Natalie. “With the new bridge slated for 2022, this is a really good time to purchase in the ever-growing community.” The family behind the development have called Delta home for more than two decades. Originally from Europe, the developer brings quality workmanship and that sophisticated

European flair to the homes they build – the last one being the Solei Terrace condominium development in Tsawwassen. “The demand has been overwhelming. If people are interested, I strongly suggest they go to our website and get in touch with our sales team as soon as possible,” says Natalie. The Sales centre is located at the ReMax Progroup Office – 5360 12th Avenue Tsawwassen and by appointment only. Presales will begin this month. Tentative occupancy is slated for May to July 2017.

Beauchamp returns to Royals fold One-time men’s coach takes on women’s basketball job Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Douglas College Royals are turning to a familiar face to take over the vacant head coaching position of the women’s basketball team. Steve Beauchamp returns to the Royals program after spending the past 11 seasons coaching senior girls hoops at Holy Cross Secondary in Surrey, picking up a number of provincial titles in the process. “I am excited to have Steve join the Royals family and be part of the Pride,” Douglas College athletic manager Brian McLennon said in a statement. “With more than 20 years of coaching experience at the college and high school level, he brings a wealth of knowledge to our women’s basketball program and can hit the ground running. “His strong connections within the Lower Mainland will contribute to a sustainable and successful program at Douglas College.” Thirty years ago Beauchamp took over the Royals men’s basketball team’s program, serving as head coach until 1995. In that span he piloted the squad to five provincial championships, and in 1994 guided them to a second-place finish at the nationals. He’s excited to be returning to familiar ground – albeit with a new group to coach. “I am so impressed by the athletics department at Douglas and how they place a focus on connecting with the outside community,” Beauchamp said. “I am also impressed by all the support that is given to the athletics programs.Whether it is other athletes, students or faculty, they are in the stands cheering.” The incoming coach enters a situation where he is well-versed – wife Wendy Beauchamp is a member of the Douglas women’s basketball alumni, and youngest daughter Rachel will be entering her junior year, in 2016-17, as a starting forward with the squad. Other possible returnees include New Westminster natives Domunique Booker and Jettie McLaughlin. Last season, Douglas College posted an imposing 18-3 record during the regular season – onegame back of first-place Vancouver Island – but were upset at the provincials.They finished fourth on the heels of a 60-55 loss to the Quest Kermodes. Coach Courtney Gerwing resigned at the end of the season to pursue other aspirations. In her brief two-year tenure with the program, the Port Coquitlam native earned the PacWest 2016 Women’s Basketball Coach of theYear award, and led the team to back-to-back silver medals.

Trade nets hometown talent Senior Salmonbellies secure fleet-footed sharpshooter in deal with Langley

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There’s an old proverb that says ‘Go with what you know.’ New Westminster Salmonbellies general manager Dan Richardson was eager to take that advice on Monday, swapping out a talented stick with an uncertain arrival for a sure thing. When he wasn’t able to get a commitment from 2016 Western Lacrosse Association junior draft first rounder James Rahe, Richardson turned to plan B. Instead, the Bellies dealt the rights to Rahe to Langley for New Westminster native Anthony Malcom in a swap of righthanders. “(Malcom) has electric speed, he’s a product of New West and at the (2015) draft

he was a player we really liked,” said Richardson. “We didn’t get a chance to draft Malcom, but we did (get him) with this trade.” Rahe was taken fourth overall in 2016, after finishing a four-year career by winning the Minto Cup as a member of the Six Nations Arrows. He spent most of his junior career with the Langley junior program. In 2015, Langley snapped up Malcom with the third overall choice and New West took fellow junior Bellie Luke Gillespie fourth. To get Malcom in a red, blue and white jersey was a perfect solution to a potential holdout. While Rahe, at 6-foot-4 and a skilled shooter, was a good draft pick, Richardson said the uncertainty of his joining

the team created a hole on the right side. Malcom will more than fill that void, said the New West GM. “(Malcom) excels where ever he goes,” said Richardson. “He’s doing very well as a rookie in Buffalo (in the National Lacrosse League), he was last year’s co-rookie of the year with (New West netminder Eric) Penney, and from what I hear his family is excited that he’s going to play in his own hometown.” As a first-year senior with Langley, Malcom counted 26 goals and 23 assists in 18 games. As it turns out, Richardson played with his father, Dean, in the late 1970s. Malcom’s uncle,Tony, was also a speedy forward in the WLA during the 1980s. Neither of them had Antho-

ny’s finish, Richardson said. “Both Dean and Tony had tonnes of speed and were great team players, but they didn’t have the touch Anthony has,” he noted. “He’s so fast and he’s got a great shot. He reminds me a bit of (former Bellies scorer) Jordan Hall.” Richardson said the trade rounds out a busy but productive offseason, with action picking up next week when New West hosts Maple Ridge on Monday, 7:30 p.m. for an exhibition test. The regular season starts up for New West on May 21 when they visit Coquitlam. “I think even though we made the WLA finals last year we didn’t stand pat (this offseason).We feel we’re better, quicker with nine to 11 new faces in the lineup.”

Hyacks join forces to promote school health fair

For a third straight year, the New Westminster Hyacks football team is setting a strong pace for the annual threekilometre Family run, walk and Health Fair, May 7 at Queen’s Park. The event, put on by the New Westminster Senior Secondary Sport Leadership Cohort and New Westminster Healthier Community Partnership, aims to promote a healthier community by bringing schools, families and stu-

Byrne ready for playoffs NewWest native heads into NCAA playoffs as a top gun

As a new player in the Colonial Athletic Association, the New Westminster junior product Josh Byrne faced a learning curve after a two-year stint at Nassau Community College. With the regular season done, it’s evident that the 6-foot-3 made the adjustment smoothly. As a member of the Hofstra University Pride, Byrne put up top-three scoring numbers nearly the whole season, finishing second overall in points-per game at 3.14. Only three times was the sniper held off the scoresheet, with each of them being a loss. He registered one five-goal game and a pair of four-goal efforts. In the team’s final match before playoffs, Hofstra fell 8-7 to first place Towson to finish third overall with a 9-5 record. Byrne tallied a pair and set up another to extend his personal points streak to 13 games. It gives the 21-year-old 30 goals and 14 assists over 14 games, including the CAA’s third-best goals-per game average at 2.14. Byrne, a New Westminster native who was selected first overall by Burnaby in the Western Lacrosse Association 2016 junior draft, recorded 68 shots on goal, and converted on .654 per cent of them. Hofstra now moves on to the CCA championships, hosted by Towson, this week.

Applying pressure: Wielding a hot stick, Josh Byrne, centre, puts another shot on goal for his Hofstra University Pride.
