Who gets paid what in New West’s city hall?

City’s chief administrative officer tops list at $220,578

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Lisa Spitale is once again the lone member of the City of New Westminster’s $200,000 club.

Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, earned $220,578 in 2015. A year earlier, fire chief Tim Armstrong joined her in the $200,000 club, after cashing in some

banked hours.

Each year, the city releases a report listing all employees earning remuneration and expenses of $75,000 and up. It’s just one of the documents the city is required to release as part of its statement of financial information.

In 2015, 225 city employees (excluding police officers) had remuneration of $75,000 or more, including 142 topping

Up Front

IT RAINED ON OUR PARADE: It may well have

been the wettest day in the Royal City in recent memory, but that didn’t deter folks from hitting the streets for the Hyack International Parade. Clutching umbrellas and huddling into dry spots like bus shelters, businesses and doorways, community members watched the 45th annual Hyack Parade on Saturday.

“Kids in their gumboots, kids in their raincoats and umbrellas – it was so heartwarming to see the turnout from so many people on such a crummy day,” said Hyack president Alan Wardle.

Clockwise from above, MP Peter Julian is all smiles as he jogs down Sixth Street; a young Salmonbellie marches bravely on in the downpour; Bomber, the Vancouver Stealth mascot, takes a break from the rain and catches a lift; the weather didn’t stop families from getting out to enjoy the celebration; a member of the Burnaby North Secondary marching band finds a way to keep everything dry.

Urban Academy gets green light to grow New project would have a 60,000-square-foot school, residential highrise and art and studio space

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

When classes end for summer, the folks at Urban Academy will be able to enjoy their vacation knowing the school’s on solid footing for the future.

After two previous plans

for a school expansion at its current site in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood were rejected, the school got the green light for a new school at Braid Street and Brunette Avenue in Sapperton. Urban Academy has partnered with Wesgroup Properties on a project that would

see a 60,000-square-foot school, a residential highrise and 4,300 square feet of art gallery and studio space built at 100 Braid St. Cheryl Beaumont, head of school at Urban Academy, said the proposal would result in one of the finest designed “urban schools”

in the province.The school would be built up, not out, on a compact site in an urban setting.

“Urban Academy would like to join the Sapperton neighbourhood, make some amenities available to the community,” she said. “We are proposing a

beautiful gymnasium.That would certainly be something community members would be able to book and use through a user agreement.There’s multipurpose space, drama space, a music room.We have classroom space that may be of interest to community groups.”

While some area residents expressed concerns about student safety and traffic in the congested Braid Street and Brunette Avenue corridor, Urban Academy parents urged council to support the rezoning Continued on page 7

Life is ‘unbearable’ on Keary Street Residents blame traffic diverters

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Life has become “unbearable” for Keary Street residents since a traffic diverter was installed at the foot of Alberta Street last year.

David Hughes, who has lived on Keary Street for 20 years, said the city installed a temporary diverter at Alberta and East Columbia streets last year after residents on the neighbouring street complained to city hall about livability and safety concerns related to traffic volumes and speeders. Since then, Hughes said the traffic situation has gotten to the point where some Keary Street residents are thinking of selling their homes.

“You can’t open your windows.The noise is constant. It’s just horrible.

When I moved here, there would be a car every two or three minutes. Now it’s five a minute. Unless you experience that, you don’t know what that’s like,” he said. “I have actually walked over, stood and counted cars on Alberta Street, they are every minute or two.”

Hughes contacted city hall six years ago with concerns about traffic on Keary Street, calling it a cross between a Walmart parking lot and a highway. He urged council to create a trafficcalming plan for the neighbourhood.

With southbound traffic no longer able to access the Brewery District via Alberta Street because of the diverter, Hughes said motorists now use Keary Street.

Lisa Leblanc, the city’s transportation manager, said the city is aware of residents’ concerns but doesn’t want to do anything without considering impacts on other streets.

“It’s like whack-a-mole.

We don’t want to do something else that’s going to push the problem somewhere else and then we are constantly chasing our tail,” she said. “What I want to do is take a neighbourhood, look at it, and really look at it in a holistic way so that the decisions we are making are complete neighbourhood level decisions.”

A transportation study for Sapperton being done this year will consider the evolving transportation dynamics of the neighbourhood, such as expansion of Royal Columbian Hospital and the

Brewery District and other developments in the area, Leblanc said. She said it’s also time for the city to review the neighbourhood’s traffic-calming plan (now known as a neighbourhood transportation safety and livability plan) that was done in the early 2000s.

“Some streets are more suitable in terms of carrying that traffic than others.

Decisions have to be made about what the suitable streets are and how all that circulates. I am not going to speculate on where it’s going to land,” Leblanc said.

“The volumes that we are seeing on Keary Street, they are higher than when the diverter went in on Alberta Street, but they are not excessively high.When you look at the context there, and you look at all the land uses there, you would expect to see higher volumes on that street than on other narrower, more removed streets in Sapperton.”

In March 2015, city council directed staff to proceed with installation of a traffic diverter on Alberta

Why here? Sandra Smith, Gursaran Deol and David Hughes are all residents of Keary Street. Residents of the street are concerned about the increase in traffic since the city installed a diverter on neighbouring Alberta Street. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

What they did ... was pit neighbour against neighbour

and East Columbia streets on a trial basis. If a notable amount of traffic was diverted to other streets, the staff report suggested no-entry restrictions could be considered from Richmond onto Simpson and Keary streets.

Hughes said he hasn’t pursued the matter through the local residents’ association because he doesn’t want to get into a screaming match with someone from Alberta Street. Ultimately, he believes it’s the city’s responsibility to find a solution to a problem it created by approving the diverter before doing a full traffic plan.

“What they did by putting in that diverter was pit neighbour against neighbour. It never should have happened.They should have had a cohesive plan for the area.They should never have protected one street over the rest,” he said. “It’s idiotic.”

City What about artist studios?

The fate of a popular city arts facility is uncertain.

During Monday’s public hearing about the rezoning of 100 Braid St., the city heard from several artists who are concerned how the future plan for the site would impact 100 Braid Street Studios.The project would eventually result in the demolition of the business that provides studio space for 17 artists, as well as space for rehearsals, performances, weddings and other events.

New Westminster-based artist Judy Villett said the space is a “miracle” of design and lighting and pro-

vides a space where people can work together.

Although the building doesn’t look like much from the outside, artist Iris Lowe said its beautiful windows and heritage features can’t be replicated in a new building.

“No plaque in the world will ever be as good as the building itself,” she said.

The 1904 building that houses 100 Braid Street Studios was formerly the Winery Building for the B.C. Distillery Co. Ltd. in New West. A heritage assessment determined the building doesn’t need to be retained in order to respect

the site’s history and could be acknowledged through signage, plaques, public art or other means, something Wesgroup Properties intends to do.

Erin Jeffrey, vice-president of the Arts Council of New Westminster, said Susan Greig has created a vibrant community arts space at 100 Braid Street Studios. If the development proceeds, she challenged the city to ensure the new space isn’t just as good as the space Greig has created, but even better, and is welcoming to the arts community.

– ByTheresa McManus

Urban Academy plan approved Continued from page 3 application and expressed confidence that the site would be safe. Parents also voiced support for the school’s arts-infused curriculum and noted it provides another education option for local families.

Council unanimously supported the official community plan amendment

and a zoning amendment bylaw for the project, saying it was an improvement over the previous school proposal and is better than what could be achieved under the site’s current zoning in terms of its community offerings.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone noted traffic was a dominant theme at the public hearing and said that’s

something that will be addressed no matter what development takes place on the site.

“This land is not going to stay the way it is right now,” he said. “There were four offers to buy this piece of land, apparently. I don’t see that another use on this piece of land is not going to have the same traffic impacts.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

This byelection is an important one Consider this a robo call.

A robo call that doesn’t tell you who to vote for, but one that simply urges you to vote on June 11.

Byelections are often the orphaned children of politics. And a school board byelection is probably the loneliest of the lot.

Considering how incredibly important education is – not only to parents and students, but all of us. Considering that our school district is facing enormous is-

sues – the most glaring one being the need for a new high school – this is an election you shouldn’t miss.

While the province has in many ways put financial handcuffs on school districts, school trustees still have a huge amount of responsibility for local education.Take Tuesday night’s school district meeting where trustees considered shuffling school maintenance workers (janitors, as they used to be called) off

of day shifts. Decisions like this one may seem minor unless you are a student at the school or a janitor.

School trustees who care about kids and education and bring skills and experience in all sorts of areas to the position are incredibly important.

And it’s not an easy job.

Emotions run high, and it’s hard to make decisions when you know that the best outcome you can hope for may simply be that your

decision doesn’t hurt everybody involved.

Voters in this byelection are fortunate.They have a choice between two fine individuals.

If you’re a betting person the odds probably favour the labour-endorsed candidate – but that could backfire.

The New West mayor and other labour-endorsed (NDP) politicos have been part of a robo-call campaign urging residents to vote for

the labour-endorsed candidate.

Folks are leery about having provincial party politics played out on local councils or boards. One only has to look at neighbouring Burnaby to see what a oneparty government (both the school district and city council are entirely made up of BCA/NDP party members) has done to transparency and citizen involvement. But we suspect the majority of voters will sim-

ply shrug and see it as politics as usual. And they could very well be correct.

No matter how you lean, if you lean at all, please learn about the candidates and make sure you do your civic duty on June 11.

If it motivates you at all, just remember that this byelection is costing taxpayers in New West thousands of dollars. So vote – if only to get your money’s worth of democracy.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

John Horgan’s Hail Mary pass So just how important is it to folks for the B.C. government to balance its annual budget? It’s a question that is worth asking now that NDP leader John Horgan has suggested that a balanced budget may not be part of his party’s election platform next spring.

In an interview with The Vancouver Sun, Horgan said he thinks “politics is changing and the focus on the annual budget is changing.” He said a balanced budget is a priority only for a select few: “The voters are not as in-sync as the gnomes in Zurich and the bond raters about the important of making sure everything comes out aligned in the end.”

Bold, provocative words.

Also, a potentially very risky position to hold. But where there is risk, there is also sometimes a reward.The NDP has gotten absolutely nowhere in elections that have seen the party simply adopt a “B.C. Liberal-lite” budget as the underpinning of its election platform. Doing so allows only minor tinkering – a bit of spending here, a small tax shift there – from the existing B.C. Liberal platform, with little room for major changes that would provide a contrast between the two parties.

For example, the NDP wants to get rid of Medical Service Plan premiums, which sounds nice until one realizes doing so would blow a $2.5-billion hole in the annual budget. However, if balancing the budget is no

longer a goal, such a move can be done.

The NDP is also clamouring for huge increases in spending on public education. Again, if balancing the books isn’t a priority, why not start down that path? The New Democrats have been bashing the B.C. Liberals about the ears in other areas as well: higher rates for those on disability assistance, lower tuition fees for post-secondary students, more money for health care, and much more.

The list of demands is a lengthy one and can only be achieved with a budget that either is not balanced or that greatly increases taxes on individuals and corporations.

Meeting these demands also means the budget would not be balanced over a term in government.

Nevertheless, this would provide a remarkable contrast to what the B.C. Liberals are offering.

The NDP needs to not only hold its own seats in the next election, but it also needs to poach a dozen or so from the B.C. Liberals, a scenario that seems unlikely unless something dramatic occurs. And tossing a commitment to a balanced budget for the foreseeable future would certainly be dramatic.

To some, it may look like Horgan is about to throw a Hail Mary pass. But remember: every now and then those kinds of passes are caught for touchdowns.

NewWest needs political balance

Hyack Parade marches on in face of torrential rain

Dear Editor Response to Dave Lundy (Trending comment section, the Record, May 26): Since there is little political balance in New Westminster, i.e. District Labour Council members representing NDP mayor, six councillors and five of seven school trustees, it is difficult to lobby the Liberal provincial government. I am surprised that even Mr. Lundy is unaware that the only Liberal in 40-plus years, then provincial MLA Joyce Murray, was key in having the Ministry of Education approve the replacement of NWSS in 2005.

Since then, the school board took two presentations for the replacement to the community, who turned down the proposals at public meetings.

It would be helpful if New Westminster didn’t keep making the issue a political football, and the public put aside the cemetery issue raised by Chuck Puchmayr, which was caused by the city, which did not decommission the cemetery prior to transferring the property to the school district.

Perhaps if New Westminster had some negotiation strength by having some balance in its political representation, we might have more success.

Brent Atkinson, independent New Westminster school trustee for 32 years

Cancelling festival was the right decision Dear Editor I read the article in the Record about the Quayside Board Festival being postponed until next year. I must say that I am disappointed, but I fully understand why this decision had to be made and am in agreement with it.

I have worked as a volunteer at the festival for the last three years, having helped a lot with the organizing of the festival last year.

There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into this event. They offer free tables for charitable organizations to meet with the community and some vendors sell handmade crafts which gives them contact within the community. The prizes are donated by many of the local businesses who have donated faithfully year after year.

There are a great number of specific details that we have to manage each and every year.

It has been somewhat amazing to me that everything runs as smoothly as it does. That’s what keeps me involved.

With another event being held in basically the same area and at a similar time I do not know how it could possibly work well.

One of the biggest headaches we face is parking for both vendors and attendees.

Last year, I happened to passing by the mayor when he said he didn’t know how the organizers did this and remarked on how great the music was. I do agree that we have had great bands in the past that set a great tone for the event. I am sorry this decision had to be made but do believe that it is for the best for the Quayside Board Festival.

Then at 11am I was watching twitter and saw all the participants posting and heading out. We decided as a family that we had to be a part of it.

So glad we did -- awesome community spirit. Congrats #hyack and the whole community!

Something interesting every weekend @QuaysideBoard Too many who believe its just a sale your right but its a big festival & 10 years is special why loose that? @stephenoshea was a scaled down version of the sale/festival possible?

Three levels of politicos back labour candidate cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

With less than two weeks before residents head to the polls to choose a new school board trustee, the campaigns are amping up.

Some New Westminster residents have already received a pre-recorded call or two from the local MLA or MP in support of labourendorsed candidate Dee Beattie. Both Peter Julian

and Judy Darcy, along with Mayor Jonathan Cote, offered their support for her campaign, Beattie said.

“I just reached out to people and was looking for support and it just kind of happened.They offered to do them. So it’s been pretty exciting, the amount of support I’ve gotten. I’ve been a little overwhelmed by the support, but it’s been good,” Beattie told the Record Wednesday, after casting

her ballot at the byelection’s first advance poll.

On Tuesday, the former CUPE employee officially retired from her job with the Surrey school district after more than two decades.

Beattie was endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council, after she was chosen by the council’s committee over two other candidates. (The council would not provide the names of the other peo-

ple who applied for the endorsement.)

The endorsement has been a point of contention for some New Westminster residents who’ve taken to Twitter to criticize the district labour council, but Beattie said the endorsement doesn’t mean she’s beholden to the left-leaning organization.

“Being labour-endorsed is an honour. I’m a CUPE person; I have a CUPE

background,” she told the Record. “Being labour-endorsed means we all share the same values and we have the same principles.

We all want a strong public education system.That’s what’s really exciting about this board. I think they have those values, we share the same values, we all want the same thing for the school district, which is a really good school system that Continued on page 11

What the mayor says about endorsement With politicians from all three levels of government backing the labour-endorsed Dee Beattie, the Record turned to Mayor Jonathan Cote to get his feelings on the issue. Here’s an edited version of the conversation.

(For full interview, see www. newwestrecord.ca.)

Are you concerned that as mayor, you’re supporting a candidate in a byelection when there’s only two people running?

In all local elections, I’m a strong advocate for people to, number 1, get out and vote. Having said that, like in past elections, certainly I’ve been happy to let people know who I am supporting in campaigns, but, ultimately, it’s up to the community to decide who they feel is best to represent them.

You don’t think it looks bad?

No. I think, certainly I’m

happy to. Endorsements are pretty common in politics, and I think if that helps people get a sense of a candidate, that’s great, but ultimately it’s up to individual voters and the community to make that choice. I’m very happy to be supporting Dee and certainly very happy to be doing that publicly.

So the labour endorsement is beneficial to her campaign?

I think the labour en-

Comfort & Care for Your Feet

dorsement in every local election, they have a process where people can apply, and they’ve done their endorsement, and certainly, obviously, that’s one element that people look at when they look at the local elections.

If Beattie wins, the majority of councillors and trustees would be labourendorsed. Do you think democracy would suffer because of that?

LET’S TALK

NEW WEST

Right now there already is a majority on school board and council, but if you look at all the individuals on school board and city councillors, and even if you were to add Dee Beattie, we’ve got a group of people from such diverse backgrounds and different points of view, I think that they really do represent different aspects of the community that I think the community is still very well represented. Ultimately, there’s still lots of debate.

Thoughts from the Twitterverse @k0dibear I’m not at all impressed with endorsements from 3 levels of NW politicians. As a result I’m voting Lalji on principle @Crostyca R U comfortable #newwest Mayor Council MLA & MP campaign & endorse #trustee candidate? @TheRecord Once elected they represent all residents. @laxdude Let’s hope that #NewWest votes against the wishes of Mayor robo-call @jonathanxcote just on principle. @MikeFolka Maybe I’m being hyper sensitive but it doesn’t seem quite right to see elected trustees & council backing candidates in a by-election, no? @lifeinnewwest @Mike Folka It does feel a little odd given there’s no ‘parties’ here. But I’d expect a Vision or NPA councillor to support their candidate

No strings, says labour council Continued from page 10 works good for kids.”

Carolyn Rice, secretarytreasurer of the New Westminster and District Labour Council, echoed Beattie’s comments when asked about the council’s endorsement during a byelection.

“We don’t treat a byelection any differently than a general election. Every candidate has to be vetted in the committee, then (the committee) weighs all the qualities of the candidate, and Dee certainly was the strongest of the candidates we considered,” Rice told the Record.

The labour council

doesn’t organize or run her campaign, Rice said.

The endorsement comes with no strings attached, and it’s not a slate, Rice added. It’s just an endorsement and often comes with a donation; for Beattie, that was $500.

“We have people from so many backgrounds that all bring different skills to the table,” Rice said. “Dee would bring, again, something else to the table that isn’t currently there, and that’s her experience and capacity working in the public school system.”

Current school board chair Jonina Campbell, who

Dee certainly was the strongest ... attended a barbecue with fellow labour-endorsed trustees and city councillors in support of Beattie, said the endorsement is nothing more than that, and no matter who wins the election, Campbell is looking forward to working with them.

“Obviously, as board chair, I recognize my role to represent all trustees on the board and stay committed

to that and recognizing also that this is an election and we’ve been endorsed by a similar group,” she said.

Once elected, trustees must work together no matter what, Campbell said, adding the school board has worked hard over the years to cooperate and do its best to improve education for students in the city.

“That sometimes, in politics, is not always something that is easily accomplished at any level, but I think that our school board has done a really good job of coming together and working together and putting students first,” she said.

Not your average playground out of a catalogue

New playground in Moody Park is a ‘free-play’ adventure place where kids can actually get dirty

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Little ones are getting a little messy – and maybe even taking a few risks – at the new playground in Moody Park.

Visitors expecting traditional features seen in many other parks were in for a surprise when the playground opened May 20.

“You see sand, you see water, you see sand and water mixing and getting kind of messy, places that have what I would call a perceived sense of adventure to them, perhaps a sense of risk,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation. “Those are all elements that came through in our conversations with the public.”

While traditionalists prefer playground equipment out of a catalogue, Gibson said others prefer a “freeplay approach” that includes lots of opportunities for kids to use their imaginations and use equipment in different ways. He said the latter approach also gets kids making use of the available resources, like sticks, trees and hills.

“Obviously Moody Park is in a very urban part of our city,” he said. “We are not pretending we are in the middle of a forest, but we

do have some of those features that harken back to kids being able to play and dabble in a stream, for example.”

Tasha Gandevia visited the park with her son and reports that he “absolutely loved” the playground.

“It was finally something

I loved that the water section had a clean and dirty section

beyond the standard climbers and slides, something beyond the typical sandbox,” she said. “He was a pirate walking the planks, he was a train zooming down the tracks into a mud pit that would stop him, he was a construction worker pouring concrete down the chute of the cement mixer, which was really a big old bucket of wet sand down the slide, and wasn’t too appreciated by some kids – whoops!”

Gandevia, who lives in Surrey, spent many days at Moody Park when working as a nanny in the area.

She’s so impressed with the renovations that she intends to return often with her 19-month-old climber and

her three-and-a-half-yearold jumper.

“I loved that there were challenges.There were things he had to stand back, look at and try to determine their purpose.There were places for him to climb and jump from that the cookie cutter parks have gated and fenced and baby proofed,” she said. “I loved that the water feature had a clean and dirty section.”

Gibson said the playground includes features for kids of all ages, right from toddlers to teens. It also includes signs to provide some “cues and clues” to parents about the recommended ages of different features.

While some parents have commented that a “wave” feature in the park looks like an accident waiting to happen, Gibson said there’s a difference between real risk and perceived risk. He noted that merry-go-rounds and some other features formerly located in local parks were unsafe because they posed entrapment issues where kids could get stuck or pinch points where hands, fingers and limbs could become pinched, severed or injured.

“It had the perfect amount of risk for a playground,” Gandevia said.

“The planks were high

enough for jumping but not dangerously high.The slide is steep but wide with a good landing area.”

Along with the new features, the playground includes traditional bucket swings for toddlers.The big tires that have been in Moody Park for years are also part of the new playground.

Gibson said Moody Park playground’s design and features were the result of community input in planning sessions about their priorities for the space.

“We are in the planning stages for a new playground

down at Sapperton Park because the old one there is soon to be retied at the end of this summer,” he said.

“We have been down there three or four times talking to local residents and the users of the park, including kids, about what is important to them.The plan, as

TESTIMONIAL:

“Dearest Bryn, We are writing this letter to say how happy and satisfied we were with the service that Bryn Ward gave us when we purchased our condominium. We have bought and sold 8 properties throughout the years and each time we had a different realtor – we won’t change again! From now on - Bryn will be our choice!

Bryn showed us what a professional and caring realtor could accomplish. Bryn’s expertise was invaluable to us – and her kindness and her smile made working with her a pleasure.

We were looking for an investment property in the greater Vancouver area and Bryn used her experience as an agent to guide us as we narrowed down what would best suit our needs. Bryn never made us feel pressured as we were shown a variety of properties in various geographical locations. Along the way, Bryn pleasantly gave us an education about the differences in strata rules, rental options, and possible hidden expenses etc. - in short, by the time we were ready to make a purchase, we had a very clear idea of what we were buying and a thorough understanding of the pros and cons of many options.

As the purchase went into its final stages, Bryn personally read all the documents and gave us her opinion and expertise to make sure all was going as we expected. Everything went smoothly thanks to Bryn.

Bryn is the first Real Estate agent that we have worked with that was sure that we had the benefit of her knowledge and expertise. We felt confident that Bryn was always working in our best interest - she is a true professional. We are very happy with our purchase and owe Bryn our gratitude and the credit for us having made a sound investment. Thank you Bryn!” ~ Anne and Tony McMillan

A closer look

Developers really dive into this city project Theresa McManus

Facts about RiverSky

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bosa Properties anticipated some surprises when it dug into its new development on New Westminster’s waterfront – but fish weren’t part of the plan.

Earlier this year, crews got to work preparing the site at 1000 Quayside Dr. for the new RiverSky development, never anticipating they’d arrive at work to find minnows swimming in pools of water on the construction site during a time of high water on the Fraser River.

RiverSky will include two residential towers, townhouses facing 10th Street, at-grade retail and six levels of parking – including two underground levels, with one of them being built below the water level.

“We are working with the water table, to put the water level down,”Wayne Vickers, development manager for Bosa Properties, told residents during a May 19 visit to the site. “Ideally, we started at six levels above grade, but that wasn’t what the city wanted.”

Vickers said “there are always surprises when you

start digging” and that’s proven to be true at the waterfront site, especially when working on a former wharf near the riverfront.

Piles of piles: Excavation at the RiverSky development site unearthed dozens of wood piles. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

“The river goes up and down,” said Gino Matino, senior project manager for Axiom Builders. “There are days when this is dry. Four hours later, it will be full of water.”

Matino said testing was done via boreholes on the site prior to construction, but it didn’t detect any wood pilings so the developer had “no idea” they were buried underground.

“The quantity was shocking.The whole site had wood piles,” Matino said.

“They were everywhere.”

Matino said the site should have been excavated by January, but site conditions have put the project about four months behind schedule.

“Pile driving should have started in January,” he noted. “They’re starting in June.”

There are days when this is dry.

Four hours later, it will be full of water.

Matino said crews have completed the excavation on the east half of the site and are digging down to that level on the west half of the site.They’ll also have

to dig down an additional eight feet in locations where the towers’ elevators will go.

Thirty-foot-long wood piles on the east half of the site are now being exposed and must be removed.

About 500 new steel piles filled with concrete, ranging from 60 to 90 feet in length, will be driven into the site to provide structural stability for the development.

Pile driving was expected to begin at the end of May but was delayed by “de-watering” requirements at the site. Area residents can expect to hear a lot of banging as pile driving will last about four months.

After the piles are installed on the site, crews will pour reinforced concrete

! Tower 1 has 285 units in 33 storeys and Tower 2 has 234 units in 28 storeys. ! The project is entirely sold out, which means that instead of phasing construction over the coming years, they can both be built and completed by the end of 2018. ! 480 parking stalls are provided. ! The development will provide 80 stalls for use

by River Market. The site formerly provided surface parking for the market. ! The project includes a breezeway where people can walk through the development to access to the waterfront. ! Selling features: close to the river, transit and neighbourhood amenities. ! Employment will reach a peak of 300 to 400 employees about two years from now, when finishes are being done inside. About 25 people are currently working on the project.

into the pit. Once the vertical walls are in place around the site, they’ll be waterproofed and construction can begin.

“We plan to erect a crane in the middle of July to start work on the foundations,” Matino said. “It will take until February when we are at Level 6, where we start pouring concrete for the actual towers themselves.”

JAMIE CROWSTON

Barbecue Season!

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

For the first time in department history, New Westminster Const. Jamie Crowston was named to Alexa’s Team, an honour bestowed on him four years in a row for his work bringing impaired drivers to justice.

Alexa’s Team is a provincial initiative that recognizes police officers for their work getting impaired drivers off the roads. It’s named in honour of Alexa Middelaer, a four-year-old girl who was killed by a drunk driver in 2008.

Crowston has been with the New West department for seven years – five of those have been with the department’s traffic unit. the Record caught up with Crowston to hear what it’s like.

1

HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING RECOGNIZED FOUR YEARS IN A ROW? It feels good to be recognized, but at the same time I’m just happy going out and doing what they let me do around here: go find impaired drivers and dangerous drivers and getting them off the road.

GRILLS in STOCK

Lar a

That’s what I like doing.

2

WHAT’S AN AVERAGE SHIFT LIKE WORKING TRAFFIC? It all depends. Like right now, we’re assigned to the Pat bridge (Pattullo) for a whole bunch of hours a week, but most days it’s just going out and identifying areas that we believe might have issues or are highrisk, high-crash areas and going out and doing the enforcement to try and get people to drive safely.

3

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO RECOGNIZE A DRUNK DRIVER? Leaving the bar is always a good one, because most people don’t go to the bar and not drink.

The typical one is, as they’re driving down the road is the weaving in the lanes, abrupt speed or lane changes, so they’re either speeding up really quick and then slowing back down or drifting across lanes, that sort of thing.

Const. Jamie Crowston was recognized for the fourth year in a row for his work getting impaired drivers off the streets.

THEM? A lot of the times you’re looking for the same things that you’re looking with alcohol-impaired driving.

So you’re looking for that weaving in traffic, blowing lights, just that erratic driving that we normally look for, and then, when you pull them over and you’re not smelling any liquor on their breath or any alcohol or liquor in the vehicle or they blow a really low number, then you start thinking, ‘OK, well what else is going on here?’

5

IF YOU WEREN’T A POLICE OFFICER, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Well, I started off as a mechanic and tow truck and truck driver, so I’d probably still be in that field, but I was lucky enough to get on with the police here, and I was able to bring that knowledge that I had, over here into the traffic unit. Especially as a truck driver, you see a lot of really poor driving behaviour, so I started to get to know the laws surrounding all that stuff while I was driving a truck, and I just transferred it over here and it just kind of took off for me.

JIBC opens aboriginal gathering place The official opening of the Aboriginal Gathering Place at the New Westminster campus of the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) marked the completion of 31 aboriginal gathering places at all of the public post-secondary institutions in the province.

The JIBC Aboriginal

Gathering Place will provide support services for aboriginal students and will be a venue where both aboriginal and non-aboriginal students, staff, faculty and members of the community can experience and expand their knowledge of aboriginal culture.

“It’s been a strategic pri-

ority for us to expand public safety education and training opportunities for Aboriginal learners,” said Dr. Michel Tarko, JIBC president and CEO. The 31 gathering places are used for a variety of purposes, including holding ceremonies, art-making, studying, conferences, men-

toring and teaching.

The Ministry of Advanced Education provided $600,000 to the JIBC for the Aboriginal Gathering Place in 2015/16. A total investment of $15 million has supported the creation of 31 aboriginal gathering places at public post-secondary campuses throughout B.C.

A journey of grief

New show on at Plaskett Gallery in NewWest An artist’s journey through grief is on the walls of the Plaskett Gallery in June.

Karen P. Nguyen’s exhibition, A Journey: Drawing Through Grief, is on display from June 1 to 30.

Nguyen is an emerging artist from New Westminster who has a bachelor’s degree from SFU and a diploma in fine arts from Langara College. In the fall, she’ll be pursuing her fine arts degree at Emily Carr University.

A press release notes that Nguyen’s background in psychology and career as a psychometrist exposed her

to people living with various types of disorders and conditions. But it wasn’t until she faced loss in her own life that she began to explore art as a method of healing and personal development.

“These drawings were inspired by photos I took on my trip to Italy, during a time when I was overcoming grief and loss,” she says in an artist’s statement.

She used an image transferring technique to imprint her original image onto drawing paper and then further developed the work by adding charcoal, ink and pastel.

“This technique allowed

my emotional state to fully take residency in the drawing,” she says. “The initial drawings were dark, fearful and intense. As I progressed, there was a shift; the drawings became clearer and calmer and in the end, the last drawings had a sense of both vibrancy and peace.”

The Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. or by appointment. See www.masseytheatre.com or call 604-517-5900 for information.

“It’s an all-out celebration of 125 years of being part of the community here in the Brow of the Hill,” said Rev. Emilie Smith. “St. Barnabas

continues to be one of the anchors of the community.”

On Sunday, June 12, Bishop Melissa Skelton will be attending the church’s 10 a.m. service to celebrate St. Barnabas. Past priests and parishioners are invited to attend.

It’s the little butcher shop that could

Peter Corbeil prides himself on running the Queens Park Meat Market ‘the old-fashioned way’ Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

This year marks 18 years since Peter Corbeil took over Queens Park Meat Market, the butcher shop tucked away in a residential neighbourhood at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Second Street.

The 500-square-foot, offwhite, stucco building has operated in New West for almost a century (doors first opened in 1924). It is the last remnant of what that block used to look like.

Across the street was a grocery store, a bakery and a shoemaker.

Corbeil runs the joint just like his predecessor Eric Davies did – the “old-fashioned way.” All meats are hand-selected, hung and aged by Corbeil, and then cut to the customer’s liking.

Products are wrapped in butcher paper and tape and people pay with cash or run an account.

“It’s quality, that’s what it comes down to,” the father of two told the Record. “The stuff they get in the chain stores, it’s done in a factory. If you go to a grocery store, and you want a thick-cut steak, very seldom can you get it.”

Whether it’s country-style ribs, beef kabobs or pork tenderloin, Queens Park Meat Market has “everything,” according to Corbeil, and prices are very reasonable.

“Compared to the chain stores, we’re cheaper.Whenever I go through a Safeway and I look at the prices, I’m just amazed,” said the butcher, who’s been a master of his craft for 30 years.

In the neighbourhood: Peter Corbeil at the Queens Park Meat Market. Corbeil got into butchering after leaving the army at the age of 21. He’s been the owner of Queens Park Meat Market since 1998, the year Eric Davies decided to retire. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Moving product off the shelves isn’t tough either.

“It all gets sold,” he chuckled.

Corbeil – who during the interview, couldn’t help but smile and wave to passersby through the window – got into butchering at the age of 21 after serving time in the navy.

“The economy wasn’t

very good, there weren’t that many jobs, so I started working for a fellow, who was a master butcher in Burnaby. He taught me the trade, then I progressed into the chain stores,” he explained.

After working 15 years for large supermarkets, Corbeil decided it was time for a change.

“I didn’t like it. It was boring. If you were in a busy store, if you started cutting pork chops at the beginning of your shift, you would do that all the way through to the end,” he explained.

It’s no surprise, then, that Corbeil’s favourite part of running his own show is the customer interaction.

“It’s kind of fun when a

76-78 Glover Ave, NW DREAM INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

customer comes in and they ask for a roast and I’ll look at the guy and say, ‘Well that’s not what your wife usually likes,’” he said.

Regulars make up about 80 per cent of the shop’s clientele, Corbeil added.

New West resident Suellen Milling has been a loyal customer for 39 years.

On her way home from the

gym, she made her weekly stop.

“I come for the selection and the fact that I can get only what I need versus having to buy it in bulk,” she told the Record. “Everything is great.”

City sports personalities capture honours Steve Ewen, Farhan Lalji and John Ashbridge all came up winners at 2016 Paul Carson Awards Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents made their presence felt at the 2016 Paul Carson Broadcast and Media Awards.

The Stadnyk Foundation presents the annual awards, which recognize excellence in sports broadcasting and journalism in Vancouver.

New West residents took two of three of this year’s leadership awards, with Steve Ewen, a sports reporter with The Province (and formerly the Record, Burnaby Now and Coquitlam Now) taking the Leadership in Courage Award. Ewen recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of being tumour free after battling cancer.

Farhan Lalji, a sports reporter with TSN, received the Leadership in Philanthropy award for his work in establishing the New West-

minster Hyacks football team.

Awards are also given out in print and online, sports radio, sports television and game broadcast categories. New West resident John Ashbridge – known to many for his many years announcing Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Giants games – received the Best Public Address Announcer award.

Kudos to all the winners.

Nominations have been announced for the 34th annual Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards, and some familiar New West names are in the mix.

Sayer Roberts is nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Large Theatre) for his role as Marius in the Arts Club Theatre production of Les Misérables.

DR. LOVELY

Dental implants, which look and feel like your own teeth, are the perfect solution for patients who want the confidence and freedom of teeth that feel natural and comfortable. Dental implants are small BRIAN KO R.D.T., R.D titanium anchors that are permanently placed into your upper and/or lower jaw bone. Throughout time, the implant integrates with your bone and acts very much like your natural tooth root in your jaw bone. This integration not only creates a stable foundation to attach single and multiple teeth or dentures to, it also slows bone loss because it is acting like a tooth root in your bone. Implant therapy is prescribed for people that have one, multiple or all of their teeth missing. People with multiple or all of their teeth missing typically have complete or partial dentures; this treatment option is called Overdentures.

What happens in the Consumer Proposal process?

To find out if a Consumer Proposal is the best option for you, you’ll need to meet with a licensed Trustee to discuss your situation. They are the only profesBLAIR MANTIN sionals legally able to file Consumer Proposals. Your Trustee will help determine terms for a proposal that fit your circumstances. Usually repayment of 20-40% of the total debt is required. Once official documents are signed, the Trustee will contact your creditors, letting them know they cannot seek further payment from you. Once accepted by creditors, you’ll begin fulfilling the terms you offered and attend two credit counselling sessions. After you have completed your proposal you will begin to rebuild your credit with a fresh financial start!

Dr. Lovely and Associates has been caring for the smiles of New Westminster for over 25 years.

This dedication to helping people has earned us the distinction of “#1 Dentist in New Westminster” by the readers of The Record. Our team of dentists and staff is here to help with any of your dental needs.

What is an amalgamation?

An amalgamation is a merger of two or more companies. An amalgamation can occur: • under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the “Act”); • under an arrangement between a STEPHEN GRAF company and its creditors, shareholders, or others; • during a compulsory purchase of a minority shareholder’s shares; • when one company buys another company’s assets or shares; or • when a company dissolves or liquidates into its parent.

When two or more companies merge under the Act, they continue to exist as one company. The combined company keeps all the assets of the amalgamating companies, and it stays liable for all their obligations. An amalgamation under the Act can streamline a corporate group.

Q A

My Doctor says that I need to take iron supplements for my low iron levels. What is the best type to take?

Many people suffer from iron deficiency. Some common symptoms include extreme fatigue, weakness and pale DR.ANDREW BASS skin. Most people with iron deficiency cannot get their required amount through diet alone and thus, iron supplements are essential. Supplements for low iron need to be taken for at least 6 months to get your levels back to normal, then a few months after that to maintain levels. Most iron supplements on the market are either poorly absorbed (leading to higher rates of side effects and discontinuation), or they are too expensive (upwards of $90/month). At Longevity Compounding Pharmacy, we make custom iron supplements that are highly absorbed (up to 4 times better absorbed than commercially available supplements, such as Palafer!), cost effective, and tailored for your needs.

It can DOREEN HILL be tricky to treat because positive changes may not be apparent right away and taking medication comes with side effects. Acupuncture for anxiety and stress relief is quite effective. Factors like injury, stress, poor sleep, poor nutrition etc. disrupts the flow of energy. Health issues will follow if the situation is not resolved, anxiety can ensue. Depending on where the needles go, acupuncture can cause changes to the nervous system and can be instrumental in the release of certain chemicals.

You weigh less, people are starting to take notice and more importantly you feel more energized & healthier.

Then the plateau arrives and your progress grinds to screeching halt.

LUKE RAMNATH Here’s how to push past it. 1. Upgrade Your Workouts: Try training your entire body each time you step into the gym rather than focusing on individual muscles.

2. Stay Active on Your Days Off: Aim for 30-60 minutes of activity - not in the gym! It could be a walk in the park, a game of basketball maybe a bike ride. 3. Track Your Food Intake: The simplest thing you can do and the one that will yield the biggest return on your investment—is track what you’re eating.

Remember: what gets measured gets managed! 4. Do What Suits You Best: Simplify things! Take responsibility for what you want, make a plan and you will succeed.

What can I do?

Shoulder pain is a common problem, presenting as pain in the shoulder and upper arm.

People experience difficulty raising their arm, reaching out, carrying objects, JIM GOVETT and being unable to lie on that side.

Shoulder pain can be caused by trauma, repetitive overhead activities, weak muscles, and muscle imbalances. Conditions that result in shoulder pain include tendinitis, rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability and impingement. A chronic shoulder problem may go on to become a frozen shoulder. A Physiotherapist will assess and determine the cause of your pain. The Physiotherapist will improve shoulder mobility with manual therapy, prescribe exercises to address strength and flexibility, and educate you on what activities to avoid. Shoulder pain can be difficult to overcome, but your Physiotherapist will help you get back to normal sport/activities as quickly as possible.

Arts & Entertainment The art of woodturning Tanya Commisso

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

What used to be just a tradesperson’s game has transitioned into a masterful art form.

The Greater Vancouver Woodturning Guild, based out of the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, is exhibiting its work in New Westminster for the first time at the Gallery at Queen’s Park throughout June.

Guild member Ed Pretty hopes the showing will give audiences an understanding of the artistry and skill that goes into woodturning, a form of sculpture.

“It’s not just spindles and salad bowls,” Pretty said.

“There’s a breadth and a depth to this craft, and a lot of the pieces, their principal use is to please the eye.”

Pretty believes manual woodworking lost its place in the trades due to mechanization but has remained in the arts scene thanks to a dedicated and collaborative

following.

“It’s no longer a trade, so there’s no place to go to learn woodturning … (but) the woodturning community is the most sharing community I’ve ever seen,” he said.

The guild has about 100 members and has been based in New West for about 12 years.The guild’s demographic is mostly old-

er men, but there has been some diversity in recent years, according to Pretty.

“Happily, there’s been more and more women taking this on, and I say happily because some of them are just so skilled at this,” he said.

This exhibit, he added, will be all about giving newer members an opportunity to feel confident about showcasing their work.

He also hopes it will raise woodturning’s profile in the visual arts community in the process.

“There’s very little threedimensional work around, and as soon as you mention wood, people get that thousand-yard stare. It’s more than just utility. People see this stuff and say, ‘man, this is art.’”

It’s Our Turn:The Art of the Turned Wooden Form exhibit runs from June 1 to 26, with artists’ demos on June 4 and 18. For more information, visit www. artscouncilnewwest.org.

Community OUR PAST

Can you spot Expo ’86 relics in New Westminster today?

Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Thirty years ago, Expo’86 had just entered its second month and was proving to be wildly popular.

SkyTrain from New Westminster, a major attraction of the fair as well as a very convenient mode of transportation, was busy with fair-goers from morning to night.While there were still critics of the event looking for things to complain about, for most people it was an exciting, at times overwhelming, show.

Were you in the Lower Mainland when Expo’86 was on? Do you remember the fair? When you go down to Westminster Quay today do you point out the Tugger near the Discovery Centre or the marker buoys and the submarine at Quayside Park and tell people you remember seeing these things when they were at Expo at

the Marine Plaza and Highway 86?

This was a tremendous event in B.C. history with so many folks having memories of the event. It is also just far enough in our past – 30 years ago – that, for many people, the May to October event of that year is simply part of our recent history.They read about it, see film clips from its schedule, and see the current Expo ’86 exhibit at the Vancouver Museum.

One family we talked to said they had assembled a scrapbook of photos, maps, etc. and then recently went for a walk along False Creek to see the Expo site now compared to 30 years ago.

What reminders remain?

How have the viewscapes changed? Apparently this was an excellent family outing linked to a cherished piece of our history.

If you attended Expo’86, what things stand out for

What reminders remain? How have the viewscapes changed? you from the world fair? Do any of the following spur on a memory or two?

There was Spirit Lodge, a fine and very popular production using high-tech images projected onto smoky vapour.There were huge lineups to see that one.

Maybe you saw the next version at Knott’s Berry Farm in California near Disneyland.There was the Great Hall of Ramses II with wonderful images from the Egyptian past made even more intriguing through the use of handheld FM devices telling the stories.

Proceeds to: Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation

Many Expo visitors enjoyed the British Columbia pavilion with so many things to see and do. Remember the B.C. adventure that took viewers around the province in the company of a quirky robotic character? Does the phase “No, Zargon, do not ski,” spur on a happy memory of the visual exhibit?

How about the aircraft in the Air Canada exhibit and the great music with their presentation? And how about Canada Place on the other side of downtown Vancouver and taking the new SkyTrain to get there?

And of course there was the fireworks each night with lasers, intricate fireworks, and a marvellous soundtrack – Something’s Happening Here – all beautifully coordinated.

Interesting local history from 30 years ago – Expo ’86.We’ll spur a few more memories in a future column.

Auger and Jayne Partridge happily removed a protest sign, while ecstatic neighbours looked on back in April 1996. They were celebrating Agriculture Canada’s decision not to spray Btk (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki) on 20 acres in Sapperton to kill gypsy moths, after 13 insects were caught in traps in New West in 1995. Citizens and environmentalists railed against the plan and the appeal board later stated an air spray was unlikely to achieve its goal of eradicating the gypsy moth. Instead, Agriculture Canada opted to install traps in the Sapperton neighbourhood to capture the moths.

Using Naturopathic Medicine I reversed all my chronic injuries. As soon as I realized I didn't have to live in pain my vision became clear. I set out on a path to learn as much as I could about these valuable treatment techniques and spread the word about the options available to those in need. I am committed to helping you reach your health goals the same way my doctor helped me.

New West Seniors Gay Straight Alliance celebrates four years Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Seniors Gay Straight Alliance is going strong four years after becoming the first group of its kind in Canada.

Vance McFadyen, a cofounder of the alliance, said community members are invited to attend a fourth anniversary celebration of the Century House Seniors Gay Straight Alliance on Wednesday, June 8 at 1 p.m. at Century House.

“We have had lots of special speakers from various organizations, we have had transgender people come in and tell their story and that type of thing,” he said. “It’s primarily educational and a sharing of stories and understanding of people.”

McFadyen said a number of straight people who regularly attend the group’s meetings have stated how much they have learned and how the group has contributed to a greater under-

standing of the issues of gay seniors.

“It’s been really positive,” he said. “We anticipated there might be ‘why are you having these people come?’ kind of thing.There has never been a single complaint.We have actually received full support from the membership and the executive.”

McFadyen said a couple staff from Century House and a seniors’ peer counsellor attended a conference in California a few years ago and saw Gen Silent, an LGBT aging documentary.

“We decided to show it at Century House,” he recalled. “We had over 200 people attend. It was really good.Through discussions we decided we were going to start this Seniors Gay Straight Alliance at Century House.”

McFadyen, who was also the founder of NewWest Pride, is proud of the group’s contributions to the community in the past four years.

“It is the first one ever

in Canada in a seniors recreation centre,” he noted.

“We have been going steady for four years now.We usually have between 12 and 20 people to each meeting.

There’s a lot of education and group discussions.”

McFadyen estimates half of the attendees are gay and half are straight.

“It’s been very, very educational for everybody, but especially for some of the

straight folks,” he said. “It’s been very successful.”

Anyone wishing to celebrate the group’s anniversary is welcome to attend the June 8 potluck tea-andtreats event.The first half hour will include planning for the group’s second annual Senior Pride Hoedown at Century House as part of Pride Week in August, followed by a social.

Community SAVE THE DATE – JUNE 4

SHARE AND REPAIR WHAT’S HAPPENING? HUB-New Westminster is presenting Share and Repair this Saturday, June 4.

It’s a new event aimed at helping more people bike affordably in New Westminster. The public is welcome to attend and bring bikes in to buy, sell or trade amongst each other.

If children have outgrown good bikes or if people have bikes and/or accessories that they don’t use, they’re invited to bring them so those items can be used and appreciated by others at a fraction of the cost of buying new ones. People can also bring in accessories to swap or sell if they’d like.

tires that need fixing. They can also diagnose other more difficult problems and estimate the costs, so people can decide if they want to keep the bike.

SHOULD I ATTEND THE SHARE AND REPAIR? Ken Wilkinson, one of the program’s coordinators, notes that the more people who bring their bikes in, the more people will have to choose from, which helps the project reach its goal of getting more folks out enjoying cycling. He notes that the program has already collected about 30 bikes from the community and many of them have already been restored.

I LIKE MY BIKE, BUT IT NEEDS A BIT OF WORK – CAN YOU HELP? Several bike mechanics will be on site to help deal with minor repairs such as rusty chains, gears, brakes or have seats that need tightening or flat

WHERE WILL DONATED BIKES GO? “They will be going to families who have recently arrived as refugees to New Westminster from Iraq, Syria and Tibet to allow the children to ride with their

new friends, for adults to start cycling to English classes and to work and to help them save on the cost of public transit,” Wilkinson said. “Others will also go to local charities and a daycare centre that is presently expanding.”

SO, I HEAR SHARE AND REPAIR IS ALREADY A WINNER? Share and Repair recently received one of three $1,500 ONE Prize grants from River Market. The grant will help cover the costs of restoring the donated bikes, buying helmets and locks for people as needed. Any additional donations made at Saturday’s event will also go to these costs.

DETAILS PLEASE? The Share and Repair is being held at the plaza around the Moody Park Pool on 10th Street on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Participation is open to all and is by donation.

WHAT IS HUB-NEW WESTMINSTER? HUB isn’t an acronym, but rather refers to the hub – or the centre – of

the biking wheel. The local chapter of the non-profit organization provides bike education (such as maps of safe routes around the region), cycling safety, research and advocacy to help make biking easier and safer for more people in communities.

It sponsors events such as Bike to Work, local bike safety and training and is

involved in local events (such as organizing a bike rodeo in the upcoming Pier to Landing event). The group’s goal is to expand its activities so it can help people become active cyclists, meet others and learn more about cycling in our community.

Families, recreational cyclists, people who want to learn more about the biking community and those who choose cycling as a main form of transportation are all welcome. HUB-New West representatives will be at Share and Repair – so drop by and say hello.

Community IN THE LIBRARY

Beyoncé fan? The library has something for you Molly Kumar

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

When life gives you lemons, make Lemonade!

Beyoncé has done just that with her second visual album, released April 23.

The album explores raw and emotional themes including infidelity, the vulnerability of being an African American woman and police violence.

If Queen B’s Lemonade inspires more exploration of these themes, try these titles found at New Westminster Public Library.

Americanah, by Nigerian author and feminist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, tells the story of Ifemelu, a young Nigerian woman who leaves Lagos for New Jersey – and is confronted with pressure to define and flaunt her “blackness,” as defined by her African American peers. Ifemelu feels both erased and recon-

There is so much more to be read structed in her new identity and in her blackness.

She soon returns to Nigeria, where she has been deemed “Americanah.”

Another seminal work that challenges and recreates its own vision of black femininity is Zora Neale Hurston’s classic Their Eyes WereWatching God.This book was once out of print for 30 years because audiences so disliked the strong female protagonist.

As noted in the NewYork Times, woven throughout Lemonade are the words of Warson Shire, a 27-yearold poet from London.The opening lines were written by Shire and are both parts haunting and hypno-

tizing: “I don’t know when love became elusive.What I know is: no one I know has it … My father’s arms around my mother’s neck, fruit too ripe to eat. I think of lovers as trees … growing to and from one another. Searching for the same light.” (Amanda Hess, Giving Poetry to ‘Lemonade,’ 28 April 2016, p. C1).

Shire’s language evokes images of the black female body and teases out the fraught nature of human relationships. According to the Times,Warson Shire will publish her first poetry collection, Extreme Girlhood, next year.

There is so much more to be read in the Lemonade primer that diehard Beyoncé fans (AKA the Beyhive) are making their own Lemonade Syllabi. Search Twitter for the hashtag #LemonadeSyllabus to learn more.

Thank You! First Lady Debbie and I would like to extend a personal heartfelt thank you to the many Hyack Festival Volunteers for their enthusiasm at the 45th Hyack Festival International Parade this past Saturday.

We saw exemplary selflessness from those parade entries that marched and performed despite the 42mm of rain that fell on them. Musicians and marchers alike shivering with pride and soaked in service to their community. They are a testament that our city’s Hyack Festival tradition must continue undaunted. Our hats are off to the many New Westminster City services that also were on duty serving during the record breaking Hyack Parade monsoon, with Police, Fire and Engineering staff keeping us safe. We praise the beautiful International and BC home town floats in their efforts to float through the rivers of runoff down Sixth Street.

Special thanks to our title sponsor Key West Ford along with the City of New Westminster, Port Vancouver and Shaw TV for their continuous and generous support. “Breaker Breaker” thanks to the Amateur Radio group, that year after year continue to ensure that start to finish we have the best level of communication possible.

However, the biggest thank you goes to our community of many spectators that donned their ponchos, brollies and gumbies to cheer on over 100 terrific entries. Our theme this year is “Dream, Live, Celebrate”, and with a slightly different version of the original one, we Dreamed of better weather, but Lived through that downpour, and cheerfully Celebrated all those that participated in the Sapphire 45th Annual Hyack International Parade day, on both sides of the curb.

Thank you!

BC New Home Building Investment up

28% over Last Year: StatCan

B

C’s new home building investment rose 28 per cent year over year in March to nearly $822 million – an uplift of 5.6 per cent over February, according to Statistics Canada data released May 20.

Single-family homes re-emerged as BC’s home type with the highest total investment, rising 18.3 per cent year over year to $380.5 million. This was an increase of 6.8 cent over the month before, as the spring building market got under way.

Investment in condo-apartment construction, the previous month’s biggest spender, lagged slightly in March at $342 million. However, this was by far the steepest annual growth, a jump of 48.7

per cent over March 2015, and a monthover-month increase of four per cent over February.

Spending on new townhouse and row home construction, although always much lower in total numbers, also maintained its upward trajectory, up 19.2 per cent year over year to just over $75 million in February.

This was also a rise of 6.3 per cent compared with March 2015.

As with the last several months, the only class of housing to see a decline in investment was once more duplexes. Spending on new duplex construction in the province dropped nearly 13 per cent year over year in March to total just under $24 million, although this was a near-seven per cent uplift from February’s

total of $22.5 million.

BC’s $822 million total investment made it once again the second-biggest spender on new homes in March, beaten only by Ontario, which invested more than $1.5 billion in residential construction.

The province’s 28 per cent annual increase was also the second-sharpest rise in new home investment that month, with only Ontario’s 35.5 per cent year-over-year growth outpacing BC. Alberta’s spending on home building continued its downfall, posting a 27 per cent drop compared with March 2015.

Investment in housing construction across Canada again rose at a more moderate rate than BC’s, increasing a solid 9.7 per cent

Hyacks’ Schultz strides past rivals, records NewWestminster track star tears up B.C. heptathlon record en route to third straight provincial title

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Seven events, two days.

Nina Schultz’s expectations were on a new provincial mark as she headed into last week’s high school heptathlon competition at the South Surrey Athletic Park.

Like the weather, those expectations changed as the two-day challenge unfolded.

The New Westminster Secondary athlete established a new standard for the heptathlon, winning her third straight B.C. title.

With four personal bests and what could be an untouchable point total, Schultz was pleased to set a new mark but disappointed in how Day 2 unravelled.

“I came into the competition wanting the record,” Schultz told the Record moments after winning the final event, the 800-metre race. “After Day 1 all my results were really good so I was aiming higher, but my Day 2 results are disappointing. I’m just happy to have the record.”

It was a weekend of records for the 17-year-old New Westminster Spartans athlete.

She broke previous bests in both the 100m hurdles, with a time of 13.98 seconds, and the high jump, reaching her goal of 1.80m.

Schultz also collected top marks in the shotput, at 11.54m, and the 200m dash, with a time of 25.26, to set the stage for a big second day.

Unfortunately, Friday’s warm and clear skies gave way to gusty cloud bursts on Saturday and set a tone that Schultz said cooled her rising expectations.

“The weather (Friday) was really good, and I actually got all personal bests in every event, so I was really happy with that.The weather started off really poor (Saturday) so that kind of interfered a little bit,” she said.

“I think, for all my events I could have gotten higher, I expect more from myself. I was happy, but I honestly want more.”

She would collect first place scores in

both the long jump (5.61m) and javelin (37.17m), but by the time the 800m was on the track, her mood had been dampened.

Her final time in that last race kept Schultz from sounding too pleased.

“It was really poor. My PB was five seconds faster and I ran that time two years ago so I’m not really happy with it. My legs were feeling it, and that happens,” she said.

But when all was said and done, those lessened targets still saw her shatter Geor-

gia Ellenwood’s three-year-old mark by 205 points, finishing with 5,501 points.

Schultz, who has committed to Kansas State for the fall, said she wants to finish her final high school meet this weekend with a bang, before focusing on the World Junior championships and improving on last year’s 11th place result.

Choosing Kansas State involved a flydown in January, as well as trips to Purdue and the University of Georgia.What sold

her on the program and its team of international track stars – which in the past year boasted athletes from Barbados, Jamaica, Morocco, Serbia and South Africa along with a strong U.S. contingent – was the strong presentation.

“I’m happy with my choice. I was obviously looking for a good school with a good track program. I just trusted the coach, he just seems like a really reliable person,” Schultz said.

Coach adds to hall of fame career Bellies’ Heard makes one-time only reappearance to help out slumping squad Dan Olson

What was slated to be a special day turned into a remarkable event for New Westminster Salmonbellies assistant coach Russ Heard.

The 52-year-old was preparing to celebrate his son’s birthday and had arranged for him to come with the squad to their game in Victoria against the Shamrocks last Friday when a player shortage put him in another spotlight.

Heard suited up for the Bellies and recorded an assist in his 400th Western Lacrosse Association game – six years after he played his 399th game – in a contest where Victoria pulled out a 11-9

win in the provincial capital.

Add in the fact that while checking out whether or not he could play, Heard was told he had also been elected into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, making it a Friday to remember.

“I told them I’d only play every eight to 10 years,” joked Heard, who starred as a member of the Burnaby Lakers from 1985 to 2000.

Coming off their home opener the day before, New West management was struggling to find enough players to fill the roster for the trip to Victoria, and almost jokingly Heard volunteered his name.

“We were just joking around and Steve (Goodwin, New West head coach) said ‘Don’t you need one more for

400?’

“I tried to come up with a good excuse but each one kind of got shot down.”

Still active in masters lacrosse, Heard was physically prepared to play, but he thought because he had signed a card with the North Shore senior B team that he was ineligible. But a quick call resulted in his temporary release from that commitment. His wife Debbie, who works in the B.C. Lacrosse Association office, noted his name was up for possible induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

“There’s a five-year rule that you need to be inactive for so I thought maybe that would stop it,” said Heard.

“We tracked down (LHOF

committee member) Dave Evans and he said, no, they’d already held the vote and I was (going in), so I could play as many games as I wanted.”

When he took to the floor he received a nice welcome from the Victoria faithful, although he laughed how one spectator shouted “Let the young guys play!”

Already 0-2 on the year, the Bellies came out fired up and led for much of the first half, including 7-4 midway through the second period.The Shamrocks rattled off four straight goals to push ahead in the third, thanks to a quick shorthanded marker to open the third and a powerplay tally midway through the frame.

New judo champ

New Westminster Judo Club’s Christine Chow returned from the Canadian Judo championships recently with a heavy weight to bare – in the form of gold.

The 14-year-old Burnaby Mountain Secondary student topped her national under-16, 48-kilogram division by beating four opponents to claim the title.

To get to the gold, she defeated a Saskatchewan green belt opponent, a blue belt from Prince George, and a blue belt from Ontario.

Chow, a green belt, wrapped up her amazing climb by besting a Quebec brown belt – a level above her own.

Continued from page 39 New West pulled even with 2:50 to play, when Heard set up Brandon Goodwin on his second of the night. But Victoria counted two goals in the final 1:38, including an empty-netter, to improve to 3-0.

Heard said once the game started, his focus was on sticking to the gameplan and foregoing any instinct to recreate some of his famous solo scoring drives.

“For me, I wanted to keep everything high percentage,” he said. “I wasn’t just a player, I’m also a coach, so I wanted to be sure to move the ball around, do some set-picks and create space for my linemates.

“We were right in it, and I think this game was where we’ve started to click and do the little things.”

While his previous one-off game was in 2010 for the Langley Thunder, Heard doesn’t envision recreating this moment ala Gordie Howe, or trying to extend his playing career, even for a single game, to cover a fifth decade in four years time.

“It’s not something we planned,” he said. “When it comes to Gordie Howe comparisons I say we should dress Steve

Goodwin because he has two sons on the team.

“He may not have Gordie’s scoring touch, but he kind of has the elbows.”

FISH HOOKS: New Westminster, which is still looking for its first win of the WLA season, got two goals each from Brett Dobray, Brandon and Justin Goodwin, Jordan McBride and Dane Sorensen. Patrick Miles also tallied. Chris Wardle netted five goals for the defending Mann Cup champions.

In last week’s season opening 14-10 overtime loss to Nanaimo, a lack of finish despite firing 70 shots on net was their undoing. Up by two goals early in the third, New West couldn’t shut down the T-mens’ attack as they continued to press and close the gap.

Jordan Gilles tied the game for Nanaimo with 2:07 left in regulation, and the visitors counted four unanswered goals in OT. Brandon Goodwin scored three times in the loss.

The second half of a homeand-home series hits the Queen’s Park planks tonight (Thursday), as the Shamrocks pay a visit with a 7:45 p.m. faceoff.

GRAHAM, David Barrett

DEWINETZ, Patricia Louise (nee Pattenaude)

August 19, 1941 - May 18, 2016 Patti passed away peacefully, at Royal Columbian Hospital on Wednesday, May 18th, 2016 with her family by her bedside. The family would like to thank her team of caring Nurses and Doctors who kept her comfortable and calm in her final hours.

Born in New Westminster at St. Mary’s Hospital on August 19, 1941, Patti lived in and loved this city for most of her life. Taking part in the Miss Royal City pageant in 1958 and then volunteering in the palliative ward of St. Mary’s Hospital for almost a decade of her life, she showed her dedication to this city in many ways.

Though she was beautiful inside and out, lest we never label someone beautiful before we recognize their strength and perseverance. Patti’s strength will be missed by countless people whom have had the honour of having her in their lives. Her daughter, Becci (Dave), son Chris, grandchildren Maggie and Josh, sister Dee, nephews Alan and Jeff (Lori-Ann) and many close friends are so thankful to have known this inspiring woman and will continue to remember her as the tenacious and amazing woman that she was.

Her funeral will be held at 2:00pm, Saturday, June 4th, at Valley View Funeral Home - 14660 72nd Avenue, Surrey. Flowers to the funeral home will be graciously accepted or donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada in her name would also be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone for the incredible support and condolences over this difficult time.

OWENS, Shirley It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Shirley Owens on May 11, 2016 in her Burnaby home with family around her.

Mom will be greatly missed by her 4 children; Judy Martin, Dianne Steele (James), Terry Steele (Deb), Sandra Steele. She will be fondly missed by her grandsons; Darren, Jason (Jenny), Chris (Kyla), Tyson, Taylor, great-granddaughter; Skylin, greatgrandson; Gavin, sister; Linda Luebke and brother; Larry Luebke. She leaves behind many long-time friends from when she lived on Kitchener Street in Burnaby.

On June 7th, 2015, one very long/very fleeting year ago, our husband, father, brother, uncle, nephew, friend - David Barrett Graham lost his battle with cancer at the age of 50 years old.

David and his wife, Lisa, met at the age of nine years old and together, they lived a truly wonderful 41 - year friendship - courtship - marriage.

“Family” was always a life-long focus for David and he was an exceptionally loving father to his children, David and Julie, who miss him dearly.

In the five years prior to his passing, David was predeceased by his parents, Al and Rilla Graham, by his ‘in-laws’, Ted and Betty Lucas, and by uncle Terry.

Throughout David’s illness, and in the year since he passed, the expressions of love and support for our family have been incredible. In fact, words are not sufficient to express our gratitude for the generosity of spirit of the family and friends who have sustained us through this difficult time ~ thank you ~ we love you all, so very much.

FROEBEL, Frank

December 30, 1953 April 19, 2016 Frank passed away suddenly from a heart attack on April 19. He is survived by his devoted partner Chris Caine and sister Helga (Doug) Leaney, brothers Bernard (Dianne), and Udo. Frank, known for his outgoing personality and positive attitude, will be sadly missed by friends, nephews and nieces.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 5th at 1 p.m. at the Paddlewheeler Riverboat, New Westminster Quay.

A private celebration of life was held last July and on that day, the flags at BCIT were at half mast in honour of David’s memory.

She will be fondly remembered by all those she “Touched and Petted”.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Evelyn passed peacefully at Sun Pointe Village, Kelowna. Survived by two sons Louis and James Parsons and sister Shirley White. Special thanks to Staff at Sun Pointe and Cottonwoods for loving care.

David is survived by his loving and devoted brothers, Doug (Monica) and Don; sister-in-law Lori (John); nieces Katelyn and Kirsten; cousins David (Karen) and Danny (Pauline); by Aunt Trudy (Lorne) who was an incredible support, as were life-long friends, Andrew, and Todd & Jackie; by the “basement crew”, and also by numerous other family and good friends (hockey, golf, UBC and BCIT colleagues).

Mom worked at the Canfor Mill in New West for several years. When she retired she was living in Ioco-Anmore Estates. To this day she was in contact with IWA retirees. After retirement she started doing house/pet sitting and from this she made many new friends and lots of acquaintances. In early 2000 she moved back to Burnaby on Centaurus Circle and continued looking after people’s homes and their pets. In Burnaby she became an active and avid crib/whist card player and enjoyed her evenings and afternoons either at the Cameron Rec Centre, Wild Wood Park or Mill Creek Park.

We would like to thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers you gave us in the last month Mom was with us.

PARSONS, Evelyn (Evy) M. August 3, 1931 − May 22, 2016
